Practical guide to meditation (8/11)
Yoga is the universal principle of the energy that harmonizes consciousness and space. The endless universe, Anant Brahmāṇḍ, is pure consciousness unified with space. Between consciousness and space exists a balancing Śakti, the yoga energy or yoga māyā. This invisible energy creates, maintains, and dissolves all manifestation. That supreme consciousness, one with this energy and space, is the body of Śiva. The first resonance from that consciousness is the sound Aum, from which all creation manifests. This same yoga śakti harmonizes every system within the five-element body and the individual soul. One is part of this cosmic play and must turn with it. Realization of this unity is the aim. Until then, rebirth continues according to karma, not by personal choice. Human life is an opportunity for this realization through love and spiritual practice. Physical postures and breath are merely a way toward this yoga. The presence of a master or meditation on the guru aids this upliftment. Purify the heart. What you wish from others, you must first give.

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."
