A satsang exploring the concept of self-love through the framework of the four aspects of divine grace (kripa). "Swāmījī did not really use this word, but I know it comes from Holī Gurujī; he is always using that." "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." Guru Lilā, addressing the community, explains the four aspects of kripa: Deva Kripa (grace of the gods), Śāstra Kripa (grace of the scriptures), Guru Kripa (the Guru's grace), and Kuṭkī Kripa (self-grace). He focuses on Kuṭkī Kripa as self-love, arguing it is a prerequisite for loving others. He outlines a practical path to self-love through self-acceptance, self-understanding, and self-giving, linking it to core teachings. He shares an anecdote about a woman healing from ALS through self-love and concludes with a traditional story about Guru Nānak illustrating the complex workings of karma.

The lecturer explains the benefits of group spiritual practice (anuṣṭhāna), describing it as a mutual exchange of energy that prevents the loneliness and difficulty of solitary practice. He expands the theme into a discourse on Kāya Kalpa, or bodily regeneration, linking it to diet, natural living, and purification through practices like prānāyāma.
