Pathes of yoga
An evening satsang on spiritual practice, seva, and the importance of letting go.
"All the rivers are merging into that same ocean. That ocean is one, but the paths may be different."
"To realize the light, you need to let go of ego, that 'I am something, I am higher than this, this work is too low.'"
A speaker leads a discourse from an ashram, exploring different yoga paths and emphasizing selfless service (karma yoga) as a means to purify the mind and burn karma. He shares illustrative stories, including one about a seeker named Raju who resists humble tasks and another about a monkey clinging to fruit, to teach that spiritual progress requires letting go of ego, attachments, and the need for control to realize the inner light. The talk concludes with logistical announcements for an upcoming temple consecration.
