The importance of purification
A spiritual discourse and prayer session focused on inner purification.
"O Gurudeva, please purify me from the body to our consciousness."
"We have to purify ourselves, inner, our inner. And bring inside good, not negative."
The speaker leads a prayer and satsang, using the metaphor of dust to describe physical and mental impurities, particularly negative thoughts and gossip. He emphasizes the need for constant spiritual practice, such as mantra repetition, to cleanse these impurities, and shares teachings on the stages of mantra practice, anecdotes about human behavior, and an allegory about the soul's journey akin to the water cycle.
