The Path of Humility, Prayer, and the Eternal Light
An evening satsang on spiritual practice, humility, and the purification of karma.
"Only through humbleness. With humbleness and kindness, you can obtain blessings."
"Prayer, prayer. Gandhi said, 'Physically, I can fast, but mentally I cannot fast, because my mental tonic which gives me this strength is my prayers.'"
A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, weaving together themes from the previous days' discussions on karma and dharma. He emphasizes humility and prayer as the means to receive divine blessings and navigate life's difficulties, recounting the prayer of Arjuna to Krishna. He warns against the divisive use of religion in politics and stresses the importance of satsang and a true guru for spiritual continuity, illustrating this with Rabindranath Tagore's parable of the sun and the lamp. The discourse culminates in an explanation of a specific mantra dedicated to Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, describing its power to purify the mind, awaken the inner light, and grant protection and liberation.
