The Soul's Journey
A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma.
"Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal."
"Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny. And against destiny we have no power."
A spiritual teacher explains the nature of the individual soul (Jīvātmā) as a wave of the universal resonance. He describes its journey through time, bound by karma, its entry into a physical body, and the rare opportunity of human birth. He emphasizes the inescapable law of karma governed by body, mind, speech, and wealth, and concludes that liberation comes through spiritual practice and the Guru's grace, which dissolves the soul back into the Supreme.

The Final Satsaṅg
A final satsang discourse on spiritual practice, destiny, and devotion.
"Our good or bad destiny is created by our actions and deeds." "Only the one who is fortunate will get it, and the one who is sinful will not get it."
A spiritual teacher addresses the gathering on their last day, reflecting on the recent Kumbh Mela and the nature of grace. He explains concepts like destiny (karma), the two types of seekers (Lakṣārthī and Vācaratī), and the importance of sincere devotion over selfish desire. Using parables about a sandalwood fly, a crow and a swan, and a test with a moong grain, he illustrates how past actions and inner purity determine one's attraction to truth. He stresses the need for unity, criticizes casteism and hypocrisy, and concludes by emphasizing that true meditation and knowledge come only through a Guru's grace.

"Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāya, toḍā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gāṁṭ paḍ jāya. (The thread of love, do not break it out of some doubt or anger. Once broken, it cannot be joined again. If joined, there will be a knot.)"
