1:00 - 1:52 (52 min)

An evening satsang on the nature of vikāra (modifications) and the light of true knowledge.

"Jñāna is one of the best protectors for our life... what to do and what not to do."
The lecturer leads a discourse exploring the physical and mental modifications that affect human beings. He discusses the anatomy of the body as vikāra, and the mental vikāras like anger, jealousy, and ego that lie dormant in the intellect. Using analogies like popcorn to describe anger and a story of a yogi and a skeptical scientist, he emphasizes the role of true wisdom (jñāna) and spiritual practice in overcoming these impurities. The talk concludes with a bhajan.

"We have two Gurus. One is our Gurudev in saguṇa svarūpa, in a physical body... The second is nirguṇa, that is within ourself; the same Gurudev is within."
"So Holy Gurujī answered, 'In Ahmedabad, I was with Gurujī... When your mother comes, which temptation do you have? When your sister comes, what kind of temptation do you have?... So why don't you awaken that kind of thought in you, in which form you want to see?'"
A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guru Purnima, exploring the dual nature of the Guru as both formless consciousness and physical guide. He discusses purifying the mind through sacred perception—seeing others as mother, sister, or daughter—to transform energy and dissolve ego. The talk weaves in teachings on the Nātha lineage, the power of Guru's words as divine nectar, and the necessity of surrendering the heart to achieve equal vision and liberation.
