A spiritual discourse on dharma, sādhanā, and the essence of scripture. "Dharma means rightness—the dharma of humans, animals, nature, seasons, husband, wife, children, friends, and neighbors. It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā. He defines true dharma as universal righteousness beyond religious division, emphasizing satsaṅg and the study of saints' lives. Using parables and references to historical figures—from Jesus and Guru Gobind Singh's sons to a self-sacrificing ṛṣi—he illustrates the power of commitment to dharma and the inner study of the self (svādhyāya).
