Swamiji in Jadan, Autumn (4/10)
The path to divine realization is through the living master, the Gurudev, who guides the disciple from darkness to light. Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, a science of body, mind, and soul. The ultimate goal is Brahma Jñāna, achieved through inner peace and contentment. The mind is like a destructive monkey or a blind ox pulling one into worldly desires. Spiritual practice requires constant inner vigilance, forgiveness, and the eradication of anger and ego. One must be awake and alert on this journey, for the human life is given for God realization. True wealth is inner peace and satisfaction, not external possessions.
"The individual consciousness merges into the cosmic consciousness through the guidance of the living guru, the living master."
"The best wealth, the biggest wealth, is that śāntoṣa dhana. When inside you are satisfied and have peace, then all money and wealth is just like dust."
