The nature of prāṇa is difficult to explain. Prāṇa is life, distinct from oxygen. When the soul leaves the body, the prāṇa departs as well; the body is declared dead. These two are very close, perhaps one within the other. Once prāṇa leaves, it cannot return—like water in a flowing river. That specific presence is gone. The departed soul travels at high speed; connection remains only through memory and feeling. Prāṇa is omnipresent like space, while the soul moves within it. Through practices like prāṇāyāma, resonance moves from the navel to the crown. This resonance is prāṇa. Our prayers and energy, sent through prāṇa, cannot change a soul's destiny but can grant freedom and affect its astral path. Prāṇa is the miracle. Some beings demonstrate total control over it, like a sādhu unharmed in fire. Ultimately, prāṇa is Ātmā—omnipresent. The goal is to purify personal prāṇa and connect it to the Cosmic Prāṇa. This is Yoga. Surrender is essential. "Prāṇa is life. But oxygen is also life. No oxygen, no life. Yet, oxygen is different and prāṇa is different." "Prāṇa is ātmā. Ātmā is everywhere, omnipresent."

The current global condition reflects a fundamental lack of respect for all life. Humans have disregarded other creatures, viewing them merely as food, and have destroyed forests, harming the earth's balance. This disrespect may be the root of our afflictions. True health and peace require respecting all creation—animals, forests, and vegetation. Our dietary habits must be sattvic, avoiding harm. Physical health depends on disciplined eating, allowing proper digestion. Yet, bodily care is ultimately temporary. Spiritual progress requires a true guide. Without the authentic lineage and grace of a Guru, one cannot advance, like a traveler without a passport. Distraction by desires causes us to miss the door to liberation. Self-discipline is the essential inner staff for the disciple. "God did not say, 'Kill this and eat this.' That is criminality." "Therefore, guru paramparā is very, very important."

Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, a universal principle of balance and harmony. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. The chakras are centers that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds desires and the potential for divine bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it does not dissolve until self-realization is attained. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely. Without proper guidance, this awakening can cause imbalance and distress. Life is love, and love is God. Creating friendship and walking the path with love is essential. The world is a field of karma for development, yet one must remain detached like a lotus in muddy water. The first chakra, Mūlādhāra, is the root foundation. Its red color represents concentrated energy and the earth element. The lotus symbolizes remaining untouched by worldly temptations while fulfilling one's duty. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desires and progeny), and mokṣa (liberation).

Faith and single-pointed focus are essential on the spiritual path. Without trust, all practices are futile, like abandoning your own car for another. Disciples must hold to their given mantra with confidence; otherwise, they will be cheated and remain restless. Many are distracted by other masters offering miracles or false promises, revealing a lack of self-faith. Everything needed is within; one must develop in the spiritual womb. Do not seek temporary comforts or jump between paths. Concentrate on one practice to gain everything; chasing many leads leads to loss. The ten senses must be understood and controlled through yoga. Stay faithful to your one path, practice humbly, and do not be concerned with external signs like astrology. Do good and help others. "Ek sajye sab sajye, try one, you will get all. And when you try to get for all, you will get all." "Do good, get good; do bad, get bad. That is it." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
