Bhajans for World Peace (2/3)
Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine.
"O Gurudev, you are the means of crossing the ocean of worldliness."
"Oh Lord, I offer all my work and all my mistakes into your hands."

Pure faith can melt a rock
The human life is a precious chance to purify karma through dharma and faith. Inner purification depends on positive feelings and faith in oneself, which extends to faith in God. Without faith, nothing progresses. Lucky are those born with spiritual guidance, and liberated are those who cultivate spiritual qualities. The ultimate blessing is meeting a true Satguru. Non-duality is the path to self-realization; see all as yourself to dissolve jealousy and ego. We fail by clinging to liking and disliking, a thorny bush trapping us in suffering. To live, you must die to the ego, like a seed in the ground. Faith is the candle in darkness; with it, everything is possible, including enduring necessary karmic suffering. Doubt hardens the heart. Trust yourself; negative thoughts are your own mistake. Be like the sun, bringing light.
"Lucky are they who have got a human body, lucky are they who have got good spiritual parents."
"Where there is faith, there is God. Where there is faith, there is success. And where there is faith, there is liberation."

How a hatha yogi can reach the aim of yoga
Yoga is the singular union of the individual soul with the Supreme. It is Ādi Anādi, beginningless and endless. The eternal space contains consciousness, called cetan. Yoga is the harmonizing, balancing, and uniting of these principles into oneness. This union is between Jīvātmā, the individual soul, and Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul. The purpose of all yoga paths is to achieve this. Haṭha Yoga requires strict discipline, Kāyā Sādhana, to balance the body and mind. A true Haṭha Yogī forges their own path like a lion, not following the common road. They require purification, as energy transfers between people like an infection, disrupting meditation and clarity. The yogī must protect their energy and not change their determined course, even against opposing winds. Achieving this balance leads to liberation.
"Yoga means the balance. Harmonizing, balancing, and uniting."
"A Haṭha yogī doesn't walk only on that. It will make its own practice on sādhanā."

The path of the human
Human life is a struggle to find the path back to our origin, like a river flowing to the ocean or rain seeking the sea. The soul travels through ages, and a human birth is a chance to return. We are all moving toward the light, bound by belief and destiny, which exists whether we accept it or not. Attachment leads the soul astray, causing it to descend into lower lives. The Guru principle is supreme; it can alter what seems destined and guides the soul back. Following the Guru's instruction is essential for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Our spiritual lineage originates from the Himalayan master Alakpurījī, connecting through a succession of masters to the present. We are fortunate to have this guidance toward merging with the eternal light.
"Anhoni guru kar sake, honi deta mitai, par Brahma Gurudev hai, sab kuch deta banai."
"Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudev Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt, Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī, Guru Vedam."

Cultural tolerance
A nation must protect its culture and language, but large nations must not destroy small ones. True harmony requires adopting the ancient Vedic science, which speaks of unity, not a single God. India is the cradle of culture, hosting many languages without conflict, just as a garden holds many trees. Yet, we are destroying our environment, digging mountains and polluting our world. Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the harmony of body, mind, and soul for inner peace. We must change ourselves first, as charity begins at home. Commercialization misuses yoga's true purpose, which is selfless action and simple living. Our culture is being lost to restless influences, while the ancient wisdom of peace is forgotten. We must control our negative energies and make a resolve for positive change, for anger destroys spiritual progress. True peace comes from within and through self-discipline.
"Be the change you want to see."
"Yoga in life is designed to bring peace, harmony, understanding, and happiness."
