Seva, or selfless service, is the highest spiritual practice. Karma Yoga, the yoga of action, is the most accessible path. It involves using one's abilities for the benefit of others, leading toward liberation. God incarnates to perform seva, and saints hold a unique power to alter destiny through compassion. True service requires dedication and freedom from jealousy, which harms both the giver and receiver. The foundation of all seva begins with honoring one's parents, the primary pilgrimage. Cultivating pure relationships through selfless action is the essence of yoga in daily life.
"Gurujī used to say that if you put Mokṣa on one side of a scale and Seva on the other, the side of Seva would be heavier."
"Whoever can perform Seva achieves everything."

Atma is your best friend
7:35 - 7:57|From 1 Jul 2000
The three pillars of a yogi's practice are manana, svādhyāya, and abhyāsa. Manana is deep reflection on your life to discern what brings joy or suffering, and to concentrate on your spiritual aim. Life passes quickly, like sand or water through your hands, so you must use time wisely. Svādhyāya is studying holy books and, more importantly, reading the chapter of your own life through self-enquiry. Look within to see what is written about your actions and spiritual stage. Abhyāsa is the constant practice of virtues like kindness and forgiveness. These three constitute tapasyā, a fire to burn karma. Karma yoga, selfless service, makes your karma lighter by sharing the burden. Your spiritual practice is your prime duty; your happiness is the teacher's happiness. Do not look to others or waste this opportunity, for time will pass and you may regret inaction.
"Life is passing like water dripping from a hand."
"Helping hands have more value than folded hands."

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji
From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything. God resides within you; your true nature is happiness. The beautiful pillars signify God resetting the foundations. You are everything. I have given you all knowledge. I do nothing; you do everything. The knowledge spoken here is the same as in the Bhagavad Gītā, leading to the Supreme God.
"I am not the Guru; Swāmījī is the Guru."
"I have given you everything. May you get everything that you want."

Organic farming in Netherlands
From 3 Aug 2023
A farm's journey from industrial production to living in harmony with nature. The operation shifted from unprofitable mass cultivation to a diverse, organic system. This includes greenhouses using rainwater and biological pest controls. A large food forest integrates vegetables, fruit trees, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The focus is on sustainability, natural cycles, and creating a resilient ecosystem. The work is driven by passion and a good feeling, valued more than financial return alone. The aim is to grow healthy food while enhancing the land for the future.
"Nature can do a lot. So, if a plant is sick, then it can make itself better."
"It is much more important than money: a good feeling, nice to be busy with your passion."
