We are all equal
The path is one, yet understanding varies. All are on the same journey, like passengers in different classes on a single train moving toward the same destination. The spiritual source is internal, akin to a well replenished by an unseen spring, providing constant prāṇa. This energy flows through the nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—connecting the individual to the universal. Practice and selfless service are the means to connect with this inner source. Confidence in the path is essential, beyond doubt or external validation. The body is a universe, and true knowledge comes from turning inward.
"Do not think that I am higher. Others will say that we are still lower. We are neither heavy nor light."
"I can tell you that the karma yogī will be the highest."
