Bhajan evening in Strilky Ashram
The spiritual path is obscured by illusion and mental confusion. Worldly sorrows and sin cause the mind to tremble, requiring divine salvation. The practice of yoga is itself declared a dreamlike illusion, a confusion born from a fundamental error. One who is attached to mere words becomes a lost wanderer, cycling through countless lifetimes. The only true refuge from this wandering is the Supreme Satguru, the divine being who is the ultimate reality. All other pursuits are part of the illusory dream. Salvation comes from abandoning pride and taking refuge in that truth.
"Yoga is the illusion of a dream."
"The thief of words becomes a wanderer; within the eighty-four lakhs, he roams as a lost one."
