Goodbye Satsang with Swamiji from Strilky, Czech Republic. The entire universe is working. The planets, the nature, the five elements, the seasons and our body. Everything is constantly working and none of them have a resting day. It is one of the principles of the universal law to keep on working and progressing. If something will remain still, then everything will collapse. If we have holydays and free time, we should utilize them to work on the inner self. We should be thankful that we are alive and going through the changes. It is a beautiful process and through that we should come to our main destination, to atmagyana. In that process we can do something to come to the pure light. Helping tools are the mantra, meditation, kriya, helping and doing good things.
