Be alert and purify yourself
An evening satsang on spiritual oneness, awareness, and practical yoga.
"One in all and all in one, as our Gurudev said."
"Chet, wake up, wake up. Now, now, oh jīvā, the soul, do not be dumb, unconscious."
The lecturer addresses a global audience, expounding on the non-dual nature of existence originating from Śiva/Brahman. He emphasizes the need for spiritual awakening (chet) amidst the cycles of life, discusses states of consciousness, and stresses that the soul journeys alone after death, leaving all material possessions behind. The teaching transitions into a practical session led by Swami Umapuri, who demonstrates gentle yoga exercises for strengthening the knees, concluding with meditation and a prayer for a deceased disciple.
