Be the ocean of the mercy
A satsang discourse on meditation, divine grace, and the purpose of human life.
"If someone gives dhyāna to his own mind, he will run away from the Brahma Jñāna."
"Without dayā (mercy), a human life is not a human life... Do something more than the animals, and what is that? Meditation, prayers, seva, humbleness, calmness, clarity."
A speaker leads a satsang, weaving philosophical explanations about the light of the Supreme Self (Ātmā Jyoti) and the necessity of divine mercy (dayā) with a lengthy parable. The story describes a skeptical, non-vegetarian man from a royal family who is transformed into a devoted disciple after a miraculous rescue and a meeting with the guru, illustrating the power of grace to liberate one from ignorance and worldly bondage. The discourse concludes by defining the human aim as transcending base animal instincts through spiritual practice.
