But in our body, there is not only one soul. Many souls are inside, very tiny, even in a cell of our body." Swami Ji addresses a gathering, explaining yogic science as a means of direct, non-physical communication, as mastered by ancient ṛṣis. He explores the nature of the soul, using metaphors of telephones, honeybees, and fruit trees to describe multiplicity within unity and the spiritual connection between a guru and disciples globally.

We are so many, and that is only one, yes, because that is yours for all." Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) addresses a gathering, explaining the profound meaning of satsaṅg by breaking it into sat (truth, purity) and saṅg (togetherness).

Evening satsang in Jadan Ashram, distr. Pali, Rajasthan, India. I have been to many places, all of which have their own songs. In India, there are many bhajans. The bhajans have a lot of beauty.

Many people actually turn outwards during meditation. But what we need to do is to become one with ourselves, to unite with our Self.
