Prana is the source of our life
Prāṇa is the sacred life force, sustained by water and air. Water is holy and must not be wasted or dirtied. Air as prāṇa is the very essence of life; without it, existence ceases quickly. This vital force connects all beings. One must practice awareness of this sustaining energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to cleanse and strengthen this inner breath. Do not succumb to fear, as anxious thoughts can manifest disharmony. The true Self, the Ātmā, exists beyond these elemental needs. Cultivate this understanding through daily practice and generosity.
"Water is holy, and when there is no more water, then it is finished."
"Prāṇa is jīvan (life). If the prāṇa is not there, then we are gone."
