Outer Situation Reflects The Inner Situation
0:30 - 1:27 (57 min)

Satsang with Swamiji from Wellington, NZ. With the cleanness of our house we can see our inner condition. How we are keeping the ashram or the house in order, with this we can see our love and devotion. We can see if everything is in beauty. It is our inner beauty, the inner pureness, our inner clarity which is reflecting there. Doubts, desires and hidden wishes we did not clean up are spoiling our mind. If we are neglecting our sadhana, our duties, then tamas guna, the laziness takes over. It will grow more and more and we will find every self excuse for our mental pollution. Self enquiry meditation, which is taught in the Yoga in Daily life Yoga classes will help to clear up the question - not who am I but how am I. We have to search within, how is our inner world and how is our inner condition. Translation of the bhajan: Jag musafir dekh vo.
How to train our mind?
1:35 - 1:56 (21 min)

A spiritual discourse on taming the restless mind using a parable from Gurudeva.
"Our mind is chanchal. Chanchal means very restless, and that is normal for a human mind, but you need to learn how to train and tame your mind."
"In the same way, our minds are very restless, running around. We should just let it go; that is its job, to roam around and have thoughts continuously. Then, slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti."
A speaker recounts Gurudeva's parable of a king's untamable horse and the patient trainer who tamed it through gentle, persistent companionship and reward. The story serves as an analogy for taming the restless mind through devotion to the Guru and the path of Bhakti, rather than forceful suppression. The session concludes with the guided recitation and explanation of a Sanskrit mantra focused on meditating on the Supreme Self within the heart.

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
23:15 - 0:05 (50 min)

A discourse on Kundalini yoga, destiny, and spiritual wisdom.
"Kundalini is the Śakti, the power that directs our life. It is the dormant energy within our consciousness, connected to certain physical centers in the body."
"Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed. You are only yourself responsible for your destiny."
Swami Satyananda Saraswati explains the nature of Kundalini as a dormant serpent power and its connection to personal destiny, which is shaped by past karma. He emphasizes the importance of acting with awareness of deśa (place) and kāla (time/circumstances) to achieve harmony and avoid problems. The talk explores the symbolism of the snake as both time/death and spiritual energy, concluding that self-realization frees one from destiny's power.
