God is the giver
A spiritual discourse following bhajans for Guru Pūrṇimā.
"If you have no time for practicing yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating."
"God knows everything: when, how, and where He is acting. So do not be proud of yourself."
A speaker addresses a gathering, reflecting on the recent bhajans and the attendees' spiritual practice (anuṣṭhāna). The talk emphasizes the necessity of sādhanā, comparing it to the essential need for food, and explores themes of divine grace, humility, and the interconnectedness of all life. Using analogies of rain, a water well, and a caged parrot, the speaker advises constant prayer, mantra repetition, and cultivating goodwill for all creatures to ultimately realize oneness.
