The real Guru is in oneness
1:20 - 2:21 (61 min)
Recorded on
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." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, expounding on the principle that the guru's grace is everything and the disciple's state is one of auspicious joy. He discusses the nature of a true guru, the importance of the guru lineage (paramparā), and the correct use of a personal meditation seat (āsana). He shares a story about two disciples to illustrate the importance of following a guru's instructions without mental attachment, and concludes with practical advice for daily practice.

A spiritual discourse on the soul's journey, karma, and the five sheaths of being. "When this all went back to the astral world, it was not easy... All the time in the astral world, the certain situation of the karma, the destiny, is going on." "God has given the humans that 'I give you the freedom. Now I liberate you.' But there is a 'but.' Whatever you will do again, you have to face the karma." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang, explaining the cycle of birth, death, and karma across the astral and mortal worlds. He uses parables, like walking through a coal mine, to illustrate the challenges of human life and the consequences of action.

A spiritual discourse on living in the present moment and the nature of past, present, and future. "Therefore, it is at present. Be in the present." "So the past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it. That’s it." An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties. He advocates for a simple, relaxed practice, contrasting it with other meditation techniques. Using stories, such as a dog losing its bread by coveting a reflection, he illustrates the futility of dwelling on what is gone or what might be, emphasizing that true practice (Anuṣṭhāna) is about being grounded in the now.

It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā.
