'Globe' tells us that everything is round." A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, beginning with reflections on love as the force that overcomes distance. He then explores the concept of Kundalini, describing it as the primal, circular energy within all existence and within the human being's five koshas (sheaths). Using stories, scriptural references, and symbolic interpretations—from the roundness of planets and the zero to the churning of the ocean myth, the white elephant of Ganesha, and the resonance of Sanskrit letters—he explains the chakra system and the balance between animal and human qualities.

Swami Paramporul delivers a teaching on the eternal journey of the soul (jīvātmā), explaining its nature through metaphor and scripture.
