A spiritual discourse on the significance of Diwali (Dīpāvalī). "This light is the truth, and we light these lights in everyone's heart. If we forget the sins of people, forgive them, and accept them, it means we light the candle again in their heart." "Therefore, Dīvalī is not only for one day; Dīvalī is every day. When you open your eyes, you get the light, you see the light." The speaker delivers a satsang on the festival of Diwali, explaining its origin in Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya and its deeper spiritual meaning as the inner light of Brahman. The talk explores the symbolism of the oil lamp—comparing the body to the pot, prana to the oil, the self to the wick, and the flame to the atman—and emphasizes themes of forgiveness, love (prem), non-violence (ahiṃsā), and daily spiritual practice. The discourse includes philosophical reflections, mantra chanting, and a critique of ritual animal sacrifice. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

"Anger, greed, jealousy, hate, etc.—these negative qualities create a barrier... So anger—not only towards the Master, but towards anyone. Anger is there where there is fear." A speaker explains the eternal nature of the master's consciousness, which transcends the physical body and is passed to a prepared successor, making them the same person in a "different cloth." He emphasizes that receiving this consciousness (parāvidyā) depends on purity and the elimination of negative qualities like anger, not academic learning.
