Darshan of Sri Alakhpuriji
The two forces within are joy and destruction, and the tongue holds the power of life and death.
Within the body reside two opposing forces: one brings happiness, peace, clarity, and forgiveness; the other brings anger, hate, and jealousy. Health flows from the first, while the second creates turmoil. The tongue is a mighty organ—one word can destroy or spread immense joy. A tooth once suffered pain and told the tongue to stop touching, but the tongue persisted. The teeth threatened to destroy the tongue, which replied that a single word could cast out all teeth. This shows the need to control speech; swallow words gently. Forgiveness is possible, but forgetting is not. Even a child loved in the womb may later harm its parents. True yoga goes beyond body movements and meditation; it requires care for every cell and hair. Alakhpurījī dwells in the heart and every cell of the body. The guru lineage reveals this truth. Devoted calling to Alakhpurījī awakens one from the dream of ignorance. A painting made through devotion becomes a vehicle for such presence. Do not wander in the wilderness; look within. The inner journey leads to true joy. Receive Alakhpurījī’s darshan within your heart, not in external displays.
"The tongue is a very powerful organ. It can kill us, destroy us, or that one word which can come from the tongue, from our mouth, can make everybody so happy."
"Alakhpurījī is in our heart, in each and every cell of our body."
