Do Good
A spiritual discourse on the nature of the true guru, liberation, and spiritual practice.
"Sometimes it is good if we are running and running and running, and we don’t care about it... Then God said, 'I must give him some knowledge.'"
"Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara. So where should we meditate so that we get all these three?"
The lecturer delivers a satsang, beginning with reflections on global challenges and India's cultural response during the pandemic. He critiques inauthentic yoga teachers and discusses the paradoxical path to mokṣa (liberation), explaining it as a state beyond positive and negative dualities. Using parables and teachings, he emphasizes the supreme nature of the true Guru and the importance of sincere, long-term practice over superficial achievements.
