A narrative discourse exploring the inner conflict of Lord Śiva following Satī's test of Lord Rāma. "Sometimes, to speak the truth is not easy. You hesitate to tell something; you do not want to lose face." "Therefore, God, please, you can take everything away, or may I lose everything, but not one thing: my belief, my devotion to you." The speaker recounts the mythological story where Satī, after testing Rāma by disguising herself as Sītā, lies to Śiva about her actions. Śiva, the knower of all, discovers the truth through his divine sight and is plunged into a profound inner conflict. He wrestles with a dilemma: to love Satī in her transformed state feels like a sin that would compromise his pure devotion (bhakti) to Rāma, yet he cannot reject his pure and faithful consort. The discourse uses this story to examine themes of truth, doubt, devotion, and the painful inner arguments that arise when faith is tested, concluding that only divine mercy can resolve such struggles.

A spiritual discourse on the heart, giving, and universal connection. "When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything." "Consider how we dig into the earth and water springs forth... So it is with our heart. When we give, our heart is there, yielding more and more." A teacher shares a flowing, metaphorical talk on the nature of the heart as an inexhaustible well. Using analogies of water and wells, they explain how selfless giving expands the heart with peace and love, while withholding leads to stagnation. The discourse weaves in references to Sanātana Dharma, the spirit of Śivarātri, and the example of a mother's sacrifice, concluding with blessings and chants. Filming location: Vienna, Austria
