A spiritual discourse on the two fundamental forces of the universe, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti. "Both forces, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti, exist. Devīśakti is positive power, and Āsurīśakti is negative power. But the origin of both is one: God Himself." "Thus, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti develop. The part of the power, the energy gathered in negative qualities, day by day, will become Āsurīśakti, and the positive forces will become Devīśakti." The speaker explains the cosmic duality of divine and negative powers, both emanating from a single divine source. He describes how an individual's path—toward development or destruction—is influenced by their company (saṅga). The talk covers the three types of suffering (Tri-Tāpa), the importance of the Guru's grace for protection, and the significance of the Navarātri festival dedicated to the Divine Mother, or cosmic Śakti.

If I were not here, who would do it?'" "Swāmījī says, 'The greatest sin is to waste time. Use it or lose it.'" The speaker shares a parable from Swāmījī about a dog who mistakenly believes it is pulling a cart, illustrating the illusion of self-importance in service.
