Feelings between Guru and Disciple

A satsang reflecting on the glory of past saints and the nature of true devotion. "Gurujī said, 'Do not write anything confidential on a letter.'" "If they ate all the butter... my cow is with me. The cow is still right here. Feed her with good feed, and milk... you can get as butter more and more fresh." The speaker, likely a disciple, shares stories illustrating the miraculous nature and profound devotion of saints like Devpurījī and his own Gurujī, Mādhvānandjī. He recounts personal anecdotes, including Gurujī's long walks to visit devotees and a governor's reverence for him, to emphasize that the essence of bhakti is an internal, living practice. He cautions against overly relying on recordings or texts, using the analogy of a cow that continually gives milk to explain that sincere devotion itself is the perennial source of spiritual wealth.

Swami Mahaprabhuji addresses retreat participants, using the analogy of a patient disobeying doctor's orders to illustrate the need for strict discipline in practice.

Our culture is according to our climate. The best ointment to our eyes is the name of Gurudev. According to Mangilalji humans will be the cause of Mahapralaya but spiritual people will go to Brahmaloka before it. We destroy our earth by cutting many trees and digging out mines. We make very much pollution to the environment and slaughtering many animals to eat. Not scientists but normal people can save the world. Where there is a will there is the way.
