When your sister comes, what kind of temptation do you have?... So why don't you awaken that kind of thought in you, in which form you want to see?'" A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guru Purnima, exploring the dual nature of the Guru as both formless consciousness and physical guide. He discusses purifying the mind through sacred perception—seeing others as mother, sister, or daughter—to transform energy and dissolve ego.

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."
