We can achieve the Paramatma
A return to a familiar and beautiful land after a long absence. The journey has been long, through many places over many years. The recent global suffering from disease prompts a deep reflection. This disease affected only humans, not animals. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of human actions upon other creatures. The natural world operates in cycles, like water between the ocean and clouds, and even a tiny spark can cause great destruction. Humans have taken much from the earth. True practice requires inner cleansing, not just outer appearance. The spiritual path is like a river that purifies what flows into it. All are equal on this journey; titles and dress are ultimately superficial. The essence is to practice diligently, without ego, until the end.
"God said all creatures came to God: animals, birds, fish, all. God, we come to God all. These humans are killing us and killing us. Please, please, do something."
"Don't think that he is not a yogī. You are all my brothers, my sisters. You are better than me. I am only to work, I am working, I am working, that's it."
