Message of the three monkeys
A spiritual discourse on the universal ātmā and the misuse of the label "fanatic."
"Every ātmā, each and every entity—where there is life, there is ātmā too." "Do not speak badly. If someone tells you something bad, you can either stop them, plug your ears, or don’t give any commentary."
A spiritual teacher leads a satsang, beginning with the principle that the soul (ātmā) exists in all living beings, advocating for respect for all life. The talk then focuses on refuting the negative label of "fanatic," arguing it is often misapplied to genuine devotion, humility, and non-violence. He uses parables, including one about Gandhi, and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate that true spirituality involves seeing good, speaking good, and serving others (seva), while criticizing hypocrisy.
