Respect the family traditions
Life is one, yet we perceive separation.
Observe nature. Birds return to their nests with evident joy. Their happiness is a natural state. Humans often lack this simple contentment. All beings possess innate knowledge for survival, like ants sensing rain. Our constructed intelligence does not surpass natural wisdom. The physical body is temporary, but the life within is singular. This life force, the jīva, exists in all creatures. Through spiritual practice, one realizes the deeper ātmā, progressing toward oneness. Family and lineage carry karmic bonds, yet liberation is an individual journey from the self. True understanding transcends all dualities, including gender, recognizing the divine essence in all.
"Water is life. We say, 'Where there is water, there is God, and where there is God, there is water.'"
"The mother is the first God. Then the father is God. Then your teacher, the school teacher, and then the Gurudev."
