A spiritual discourse on the inner light and the practice of trāṭaka. "Our soul, our ātmā, comes into our body from the cosmic energies.

"Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination. Therefore, all our trees also have their eyes, and that is concentration, what we call trāṭaka." The speaker addresses a gathering of practitioners, explaining the journey of the soul and the universal presence of inner sight. He shares teachings received from his Gurudeva, using the metaphor of a seed's growth and a story about a guru's astral rescue of a devotee to illustrate the power of focused awareness (trāṭaka) and the spiritual significance of the navel (nābhi) as a point of energy and re-entry.

A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning.

The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā.

Without an outlet, the dam will break and cause greater harm. The mind needs direction." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of the chakra and nāḍī (energy channel) system, relating it to human physiology, the elements, and life metaphors like a leaf separating from a tree.
