Satsang from Maha Kumbha Mela 2013
The Divine has established a specific meeting time for all beings. A house without devotion is like a crematorium. Just as a king designates time for his subjects, God designates Sandhyā—the joining time of dawn and dusk—for all to connect with Him. At Brahmamūhurta, all who remember God connect directly. All beings, including animals and plants, remember the Divine in their own consciousness. Humans conceive God as both formless and with form, meditating upon names given by their own intellect. All beings seek happiness and freedom from sorrow, which is tied to pain and fear. Even trees feel pain. A person of ill intent speaks words like flaming arrows, igniting the fire of discord. The hidden internal fires of lust and anger blow empty, so speech does not remain within but goes out.
"God has set aside that time for everyone, whether human or animal."
"All beings, from the letter to Brahmā, want one thing: to attain happiness and to get rid of sorrow."
