0:40 - 1:32 (52 min)
Recorded on
An evening satsang on overcoming worldly stress and pursuing spiritual practice. "We are thirsty horses in this world, from little children to older people. We are all in this stress."

The lecturer addresses the pervasive stress of modern life, using the parable of a thirsty horse afraid of a water pump to illustrate the need to practice spirituality amidst worldly noise. He discusses the inescapable realities of time and karma, explaining concepts of sin (pāpa) and piety (puṇya) and the impurities of the inner instrument (Antaḥkaraṇa). He narrates the transformative stories of the sage Valmiki, a bandit who became a seer through chanting, and the poet Tulsidas, who was inspired by his wife to turn his love toward God. The talk emphasizes continuing spiritual practice (sādhanā) with humility despite life's obligations. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
