The Aim of Life: A Discourse on Guru Pūrṇimā
A discourse on the aim of life and the significance of Guru Pūrṇimā.
"One seed of the cherry, when it grows and fruits come from this one seed, thousands or millions of seeds will be produced... Similarly, the one Paramātmā, one Ātmā, and from that radiance can multiply in billions, trillions, and so on."
"Guru kṛpā he mo kevalam... You need the official stamp, that is guru kṛpā."
Following chants to Nārāyaṇa, a spiritual teacher delivers an evening satsang from Jaisalmer. He explores creation from the cosmic sound Oṁ, the journey of the soul through karma, and the critical importance of the guru's grace for liberation, illustrating this with the story of Śukadeva Muni seeking wisdom from King Janaka. The talk emphasizes purification, satsang, and the offering of one's spiritual practice to the guru on this holy day.
