The Guru is the singular, indispensable lamp. Understanding the Guru's nature comes only in his absence. While present, his light is taken for granted. He traveled widely, visiting many saints and places, yet his devotion remained solely with his lineage. He transformed barren land into an ashram. His constant practice was singing bhajans and giving lectures about his masters. The teaching environment must be kept purely for spiritual matters, avoiding negativity. The Guru's strictness was part of his grace. His physical presence embodied a great spiritual personality. The ultimate truth is that everything is the Guru's grace.

The jīva, or soul, seeks everlasting happiness, paramānanda, beyond fleeting pleasures. There are temporary happinesses that vanish and cause suffering. The jīva is eternal, indestructible, and cannot be perceived by physical means. It enters and leaves the body freely, untouched by fire, water, or any obstacle. Every being carries this divine light, driven to attain pleasure and remove all pain. Through the five elements, the jīva manifests the ten senses and is sustained by the life forces. Happiness and sorrow reside in the jīva, not in the body. Seeking joy in material objects yields disappointment because the world is impermanent. Disappointment itself is a process of change and growth. Attachment binds the jīva, like a caged bird prevented from flying. Renunciation requires constant movement to avoid forming attachments. The worldly life is inherently a place of disappointment, even for the Creator. Clinging to relationships brings suffering, for all are transient. Temporary pleasures inevitably turn into pain. Therefore, one must seek paramānanda, the supreme, undying bliss. The jīva is like a drop suspended over the ocean of ātmā; upon merging, individuality dissolves, and it becomes Śiva. All spiritual practices aim for this union, where the jīva finds true peace. "Each and every entity carries the light of God, and that light of God is not for this body only but for that soul, and that soul is life." "This jīva is like a drop of water on the whole of our palm, held over the ocean. This drop is jīva, and the ocean is ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The grandeur of bhajans and divine remembrance fills the gathering. The session was intentionally brief, yet it overflowed with spiritual potency. A request was made to Puṣpā, and one bhajan was offered with the possibility of another if it pleased the divine. The sisters sang with exceptional devotion and skill; their voices became vessels for the sacred and their singing pleased greatly. Such bhajans are not ordinary songs; they are pathways to divine remembrance. An introduction to the deeper significance of these bhajans will be given. This teaching will manifest tomorrow or the day after, illuminating the essence of devotional singing for all seekers. Life presents dualities like heat and cold, comfort and discomfort. Both sides of experience are embraced without resistance, and blessings are extended to all with the words ‘all the best’. The bhajans were very nice, and today is alright. The closing chant invoked holy names—Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī, Mādhavānandajī—with reverence. Satya Sanātana Dharma was proclaimed as the eternal truth. The core teaching of non-doership arose: Nāhaṃ Kartā, the self is not the doer. Prabhudīp Kartā, Mahāprabhudīp Kartā, the divine alone acts. Only That Kevalam exists. Hari Om. Victory to Viśvarānandajī Gurudeva. "Today’s session was brief; I did not intend to do only a little, but the magnificent bhajans from our sisters were truly great." "Hari Om, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī Mahārāja Devakī, Mādhavānandajī Bhagavānakī, Satya Sanātana Dharmakī, Nāhaṃ Kartā Prabhudīp Kartā Mahāprabhudīp Kartā He Kevalam, Hari Om."

The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable.
