Closing satsang from Vep
The unshakable knowledge is found within direct experience, not second-hand accounts. Observe what is happening within yourself. Any event, even one that initially seems terrible, contains something good to learn. This discovered knowledge is permanent and cannot be taken away. Time is perpetually gone; do not cry for the past but take care of the present to shape the future. People often remember God only in trouble, but if one prays during pleasure, trouble may not come. Discipline is essential for happiness, particularly in behavior, thought, diet, and recreation. Follow the four principles: ācār (conduct), vicār (thought), āhār (diet), and vihār (recreation). Purify the mental modifications (vṛttis) through compassion, allowing your inner light to shine. A disciplined daily practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation is required. Meditation is not for planning but for simply being in a state of peace and feeling the divine presence.
"Find in every event in your life, something good."
"Āchār, vichār, āhār, and vihār—these are the four principles we should follow in life to be happy, safe, and have a healthy, bright future."
