Clean Your Inner Conflicts
A satsang discourse on the practical application of yoga philosophy in daily life.
"Yoga in daily life is not limited only to one’s own health, but also involves people, our society, and even our entire planet."
"Polish your stone. You yourself are one of the most precious stones. It is priceless."
The speaker, likely a senior teacher, addresses a gathering following a World Peace Congress. He challenges the common view of yoga as merely physical exercise, expanding it to encompass social and planetary health. Using quotes from Gandhi and a visiting scientist, he critiques human possessiveness as the root of conflict. He emphasizes inner purification over external rituals, illustrated by the instruction to "polish your stone" (the self). The core teaching is demonstrated through a detailed narration of the ancient story of King Harichandra, whose severe trials exemplify unwavering integrity and devotion, contrasting sharply with modern hypocrisy.
