Oṁ Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Devī Svaramahādeva Kī, Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmīmādhvānandjī Bhagavān Kī. Good morning once again to everyone for our spiritual sādhanā. Consider how much light this flame is giving. Similarly, the soul we possess—the one we call our own—how much spirituality does it have? That is, how much light is it giving? This light refers to the radiance of a person, which manifests as harmony. When you have it, everyone would like to be your friend. Now, reflect: how many friends have you had, and how many have left you? Have you ever truly analyzed, if you see reality clearly, whether you are the cause? Someone may want to work with you, then suddenly they do not. They become angry with you, and you with them. Where is the mistake? Analyze this. The pure spirit means that the soul now has pure karmas. Every negative movement—whether physical, mental, or verbal—anything that occurs through our being, covers one thin layer over our soul. It is like the very thin layer between the skins of an onion. No one can avoid this. And when we perform positive deeds, that layer is removed. So, how many layers do you have? This is described in yoga as mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. There are three. Mala is impurity: physical, mental, and intellectual impurity or purity. Mahāprabhujī said in his golden preaching that only external purity has little meaning. You may apply much perfume—lavender, sandalwood, and so on—and take great care of your exterior, but inside there may be a stench. To hide that inner stinkiness, we constantly apply scent here. Perfume. But if you are very positive and very pure, practicing prāṇāyāma and cleansing all toxins—what Āyurveda calls āma—then without any external aid, your body will have a beautiful fragrance. Thus, when a holy person passes away, their grave retains a beautiful smell for years and years. This is the sensory sign of a pure spirit. And those who can see perceive, even on the grave or samādhi, something like a white cloud, a light present there. So, mala is impurity. As long as you do not purify yourself, you will not attain that divine vision. It does not matter how much you practice; it will be futile. It is like milking a cow and pouring the milk into the sewer.
