Realisation of the Atma
The Non-Dual Reality and Self-Realization: Cintan over Cintā
Advaita means non-duality; what is visible and touchable changes, but reality remains unchanged. Self-realization, ātmā anubhūti, is the direct experience of the Ātmā, witnessed once and forever. It stands as the witness of all worldly changes. Modern human cintan, thinking, is directed entirely outward into technology. This outward focus makes humans lonely, separated, and like technique itself, lacking ethics and spirituality. The purpose for which God sent humans is self-realization, and that inner ability is wasted. Ancient ṛṣis possessed durdarśan, distant vision, and durśravaṇ, distant hearing, through guru kṛpā. Sañjaya received such a blessing from Kṛṣṇa to see the Kurukṣetra war; when grace withdrew, the vision vanished. Thus, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā—the root of liberation is guru's grace. The body itself illustrates the four castes: Brahmana is the head, Kshatriya the arms, Vaishya the trunk, Shudra the legs—all four in one body. The ātmā is immortal, everywhere, unlimited, whereas the body and its technologies are limited and dependent. True meditation is ātmā cintan, thinking on the Self, not just any visualization. Without proper cintan, one falls into cintā—worry, fear, nervousness, anger, hate, and jealousy. Cintā creates cracks in faith and dissipates bhakti, like a termite destroying a tree. Therefore, never be worried; take things as they are, for what will happen will happen. The first step of self-realization is to see thyself in each and every entity, bringing reconciliation and oneness.
"Cintā kabhī mat karanā."
"To see thyself in each and every entity — this is the first step of self-realization."

We got from Vishwaguruji pure knowledge
The knowledge received is pure and requires deep, patient digestion, not quick consumption. Revisiting teachings reveals new understanding as one changes through practice. Writing, especially transcribing mantras slowly, deepens absorption and calms the mind. Respect for sacred texts is essential, as the value one assigns dictates the benefit received. Material possessions are necessary but obsession leads to misery; true happiness comes from giving and serving others. Spiritual practice refines one's inner state, which eventually manifests outwardly. Bhakti, or devotion, is the highest path, but it must be founded on knowledge and wisdom, not mere emotion. Ultimately, everything is transient, and only the Guru's grace brings true bliss.
"Inside, we will hear completely new things. Why? Because we are practicing, because we are changing ourselves."
"All you need is the Guru’s grace. And that is what makes the disciple in bliss and joy."

The science of the constellation
The name given at birth should align with the celestial constellation present at that moment. The moment of birth is defined when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are primary, but all nine celestial bodies determine the constellation. This constellation dictates the first letter of the name, which is crucial for well-being. The specific language or full name is secondary; the foundational first letter must correspond. This is a cosmic science upheld by tradition. Neglecting this alignment is why problems arise. We are individual drops, but together we form a great river in service. The guru and disciple become one through this understanding.
"The first letter name should go."
"Take your name according to the constellation."

Prakrti - The mother nature
A remedy for joint health and the duty of a teacher to connect with nature.
A yearly treatment for joints involves a specific food preparation. Combine roasted fenugreek and whole wheat flour with ghee, almonds, jaggery, and spices to form laddūs. Consume one each morning for about a month during the cold season, avoiding other oils and specific foods like tomatoes, yogurt, and sour fruits. This regimen strengthens knees, back, and joints, and is beneficial post-childbirth. Nature provides incomparable peace and is essential for practice. A teacher must guide students into natural settings for silent retreats, fostering harmony and equal vision. Avoid gossip and personal complaints; create an atmosphere where all feel respected and leave happy. Like a tree, offer shelter and sustenance without retaliation, serving selflessly.
"Eat one laddū every morning... do not consume any other kind of oil."
"Oh my mind, be like a tree... I endure their nastiness. I give them my fruit instead of a stone."

The Thirsty Horse and the Path of Spirituality
The human soul seeks direction amidst universal stress, which persists from childhood through old age despite our efforts. We are like a thirsty horse frightened by the noise of a water pump; to drink, we must accept the noise. Our spiritual thirst must be quenched within the world's clamor.
Time is an unstoppable reality, and individual karma is an inescapable truth that guides our journey. Good and bad actions create impressions upon the soul. The mind and its desires bind us, as illustrated by the transformations of Vālmīki and Tulsīdās. Liberation requires dedicated practice without proclaiming spiritual attainments, for such claims dissipate power. We must walk the path with humility, performing our duties while maintaining spiritual focus.
"Time will not wait for us. It does not matter who is who."
"Karma goes with us like the shadow of our body."
