Value of Satsang and practicing
Satsaṅg is rare and yoga is a profound science.
Satsaṅg, the gathering with saints to hear of God, is exceptionally rare. It leads to peace, bliss, and Brahmaloka, not the limited heaven. Yoga is an ancient science for the body, mind, and soul. The human body contains the 52 Sanskrit alphabets as resonance in the petals of the cakras along the spine. Awakening this is a beautiful enlightenment, not a physical shaking. Our origin is in the perfect, unchanging technology of the divine seed, like a fruit tree reproducing its qualities. The original seed of yoga is Śiva. In highest consciousness, there is no gender; duality manifests in material form. Physical postures must be balanced and practiced daily, alongside prāṇāyāma, to cultivate health and awareness. Mental impurities, or vikāras, and restless thoughts (vṛttis) cause suffering and bind us in karma. These can only be cleansed through detachment (vairāgya), which is attained through satsaṅg. Practice brings harmony; a true master cares for the disciple's genuine progress.
"Sant Samāgam Hari Kathā... these are rare."
"Yoga is that science whose original seed... is Śiva."
