Swara Yoga and the Brain
A satsang discourse on the essence of spiritual community and the foundational discipline of yoga.
"Sat means the truth. Sat means spirituality. Sat means God... Satsaṅg. Saṅg means to be there."
"The great one will never say to himself, 'I am the great.'... Bada bada nahi kare, the great one will not glory himself."
The lecturer addresses the assembly, defining true satsang and critiquing the modern distortion of yoga into competition. He stresses the foundational yoga discipline (anuśāsanam) from Patanjali, emphasizing proper sleep, a pure lifestyle, and humility as essential for mental clarity and spiritual progress, contrasting this with worldly pride and confusion.
