An evening satsang on the gurukul tradition, spiritual abilities, and the importance of live spiritual practice. "Humans are born as embodiments of God, but God found that he made a mistake. Therefore, he took away or hid within them those miracles, abilities, and knowledge." "Through that sādhana, the opening of the third eye of Śiva, they could see far distances, hear far distances, and communicate over far distances." The lecturer addresses attendees at a seminar, framing the gathering as a modern 'gurukul of the heart'. He discusses the guru-disciple relationships of divine figures like Rama and Krishna, laments the loss of ancient spiritual sciences and siddhis (powers) in the modern age, and explains why such abilities are concealed from humanity to prevent misuse. He shares a story of Mahaprabhuji's clairvoyant healing, illustrates the need to purify mental impurities, and emphasizes the irreplaceable value of being physically present in a sanctified environment over watching webcasts.
