Questions to Gurudev
Spiritual practice is an immeasurable inner process, not a quantifiable study. It cultivates humility and compassion, guided by the principle of non-violence: do not do to others what you dislike for yourself. Techniques like seeing auras are mere toys compared to this core development. Liberation is the culmination of lifelong practice, realized fully at life's end when no new karma is created. In physical practice, correct breathing is typically through the nostrils, though specific techniques may vary. Maintain total devotion and focus in your practice, as you would when driving. If confronted by overwhelming energy during meditation, you must seek to control it, for instance by opening your eyes and moving.
"To see the aura, to do this or that, is all for your contentment. There is an inner process, you know, that you cannot measure."
"Practice and practice and practice. Perfect mokṣa will be the last minutes of life. Because then there is no chance to do any karma."

Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprahuji
The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing.
"For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence."
"By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling."

Dhyan Karo
Meditate, O mind, to dispel ill-intentions and remember the Guru's words. Through meditation, one gains wisdom and progresses toward becoming a yogi. It is the means to fulfill duties and make life fruitful. True renunciation arises from seeking detachment while still within worldly bondage. In all actions, remember the Lord.
"Through meditation, you will become wise. Through meditation, you will become a yogī."
"One who searches for detachment while in bondage becomes a renunciant."

Without Gurudev the whole world cries
The devotee's heart longs solely for the Satguru. Wandering the world finds no friend like the Guru; without that presence, there is weeping and no rest. Attachments obscure the path, preventing peace. Hearing the divine name awakens the seeker. The Guru's eternal kindness bestows the refuge of the lotus feet. This translation is merely an interpretation, not definitive. The essence is praise for the Guru's arrival, which brings joy, dispels illusion, and cuts the bonds of endless sorrow.
"Without that fragrance, the whole world weeps, and I can find no sleep; I can find no rest, day or night."
"Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye."
