A Meditation Instruction
18:00 - 18:50|Recorded on 23 Aug 2022
A meditation instruction on posture and focus. Place your right hand over the heart and left hand over the navel, resting lightly. Keep both legs straight. Inhale and exhale normally. The eyes are open, but awareness is directed inward toward the heart. Do not let concentration waver. We perform a small, nameless devotional song that is meditation-like. The practice is simply to be present with this focus.
"Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest."
"Do not let your concentration waver, everyone."

The Guru principle is the universal light of knowledge within, not a physical form or cultural possession. All beings have a guide. The true self is the immortal Ātmā, a spotless diamond within the perishable body. Realization of this oneness is the aim of human life. This supreme Brahman is pure bliss and consciousness, beyond all duality and change. Social harmony, like that between brothers and sisters, reflects this spiritual unity. Negative thinking creates bondage, while seeing the one essence in all leads to liberation. The path requires discipline and the Guru's guidance to awaken the dormant truth within.
"Not the body, or one born in Europe, or in China, or Japan, or Mexico, or Africa, or India, or anywhere. Do you know what is the value inside? Ātmā."
"Your ātmā and my ātmā are one. There is no duality."

Spiritual development depends on parental guidance and the master's influence. Parents filled with love and spirituality teach about God and the Master's will. Being with holy saints from childhood fosters a nature inclined toward purity. The master imparts knowledge through everyday conduct, not formal lectures. This foundation sustains one while moving throughout the world. Yoga is not merely physical postures. It resides within human consciousness, the heart, and a humble perspective toward all existence. Maintaining a childlike purity is essential, meaning to remain a child of God and one's master. This state brings humility and the understanding that mistakes are surrendered to the master. One should feel relaxed, knowing divine protection is present, while also wishing to protect others. The relationship between guru and disciple mirrors that of parent and child. The master views all disciples as one, without duality, guiding them with oneness, peace, love, and harmony toward the Supreme.
"Yoga is within human consciousness, in the human heart, in human humbleness, in a humble way of looking at everything."
"The master has all disciples as one, and that is very, very good. Everyone has a different nature... But the Master should have all the same feelings, taking in the heart the oneness and peace."

The Soul and the Guru

Receiving a guru's guidance is life's supreme gift, creating a duty to nurture the future.
Hearing sacred teachings signifies past good karma. A guru's presence confirms this fortune. Following these teachings transforms life, an unexplainable spiritual magic. This gathering is not by chance; only seeds in good soil bear worthy fruit. The young practitioners demonstrate yoga's future; they are tomorrow's culture. Their direction determines the world's path. Upholding tradition is a sacred duty. Parents are the first gurus, shaping the child like clay. Education in wisdom, love, and yoga is the primary responsibility. Various teachers appear, but the spiritual master provides ultimate guidance. The physical body is temporary, like water in a palm. The eternal soul seeks purpose. True fulfillment comes from creating good karma. One must seek a genuine master within an authentic lineage. The real guru is singular, like one father and mother. Do not hurry or seek miracles. Hold to your roots. Water the roots to sustain the entire tree.
"only the grain that gets into the land of the righteous gives fruits worthy of the one who planted it."
"Children are the culture of tomorrow; children are the success of tomorrow."

Guru Pūrṇimā signifies the celebration of the guiding principle that dispels ignorance. The guru is defined as the remover of darkness, leading one from ignorance to the light of self-knowledge. This principle is embodied as creator, protector, and destroyer of obstacles. The day commemorates the incarnation of Vedavyāsa, who compiled the Vedas for humanity. It also marks the start of the spiritual year, a time for disciples to renew their vows and surrender their practice. The necessity of a guide is universal, from learning spiritual wisdom to mastering worldly skills like driving. True reverence is first offered to the guru, who reveals the divine. The ultimate guru is not a physical form but the conscious knowledge and inner light present within all.
"Guru means ignorance, darkness. Guru means light. Who brings you from darkness to light, from ignorance to vision."
"Guru is not a physical body. Guru is that knowledge which we call. In every heart, the light of God is dwelling."
