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).

The real Guru is in oneness
13:50 - 14:51 (61 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection.

Prepare your bread, prepare your chapati, roti, or falahari diet." Following a personal anecdote about a health issue, a speaker discusses the global introduction of insects into the food supply.
