The true test of love and devotion is revealed in crisis, not comfort. A devotee requests troubles for believers so they constantly remember the divine name, while comfort leads to forgetfulness. True happiness is found where God's name resides, not in wealth which often makes spirituality disappear. Repeating a mantra deposits spiritual wealth. The temptation of worldly attachment is powerful, but with divine grace, nothing is lacking. The feeling of being poor or unloved is a delusion. Human relationships are tested in critical hours. Dharma is your discipline and obligation, especially in hardship. A true partner supports you completely in crisis. A story illustrates this: a disciple, intoxicated by marital happiness, believes his family's love is real. His master devises a test where the disciple feigns death. When offered a potion that would kill the drinker to revive him, his father, mother, and wife all refuse, revealing their self-interest. Only the master is willing to sacrifice himself. The disciple, awakened to the world's attachment and selfishness, returns to the spiritual path. "I adore and surrender to those problems which remind me every second, 'Thy name, my Lord.'" "You can only know them in a critical situation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 335

God comes only through love, not through rituals or offerings. Without love, the heart remains empty despite an open door. We become unfaithful and seek external solutions, but this leads nowhere. True wealth is contentment, which makes all material wealth like dust. Those with many desires are beggars and slaves to illusion. When contentment enters, one becomes intoxicated by God's name, the only immortal essence. Desiring different experiences is the hunger of a beggar. Be happy with what destiny provides. God sees the heart, not external displays. Pure devotion without selfishness is required, as shown when Krishna rejected a lavish meal for simple food offered with love. Parental love is paramount, so a parent should always be with young children. In spirituality, the soul has no gender, though societal roles differ. Desires are enemies that consume energy like ants consuming a bee. One should be like a honeybee, taking only the essence. A woman considered unattractive focused solely on love for God, waiting faithfully with an open heart, offering only the sweetest fruits. "Prabhu prem bīnā nahī̃ āve. God will not come to you without love." "Sāk Vidur ghar jākar khāyā... Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 334

The precious human life is a fleeting opportunity for spiritual awakening. Every moment and breath is a blessing. We exist on both physical and astral planes, losing astral memory here but retaining physical memory there. The eternal, non-dual Ātmā is distinct from the individual soul, or jīva, which carries karma and experiences duality. Suffering persists until knowledge of the Ātmā is realized. Human life is precious because the jīva seeks it to perform spiritual practice and shift from individual identity to universal awareness. Time passes irrevocably; youth and energy fade like morning dew. We are visitors here, and only our accumulated positive or negative energy accompanies us onward. Therefore, utilize this life for goodness, meditation, and inspiring spiritual consciousness in others. Never consider yourself too old or time too short. A true teacher serves as a clear channel for wisdom, not mixing in personal ideas. In this age, materialistic focus erodes spirituality, so we must resolve to preserve and share it. "Manuṣya janam amolaka hai. This human life is a very precious diamond." "Yeh jeevan aṅjali kā pānī, ṭapak ṭapak ṭapajai re. It will drip out very soon."

The Kumbh Melā embodies the Hindu quest for immortality and divine union. Spirituality is the mortal's longing for the eternal. The festival commemorates drops of nectar falling at four sites during a mythical battle. Millions gather at the confluence of sacred rivers. The procession of ascetics and masters celebrates unity and joy rooted in scriptural truth. Yoga reveals the immortal self within. The true urn of nectar is the human body; its nervous systems and energy channels mirror the sacred rivers. Their confluence at the Ājñā Cakra is the inner Saṅgam, the goal of all yoga. The festival is a massive act of faith where pilgrims bathe to purify karma and seek liberation. Initiates take sannyāsa, renouncing worldly life to pursue immortality. The gathering is a confluence of divine souls, a dance of spiritual strength where the human spirit transcends mortality. The aim is God-realization, realizing the Self as Brahman. "If there is any place on the face of this earth where all the dreams of living man have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India." "It is wonderful, the power of faith that can make multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak, the young and frail, enter without hesitating or complaint upon such incredible journeys." Filming location: Allahabad, India DVD 330

The ideal of lifelong marriage and natural living contrasts with modern artificiality. Marriage should be a complete, singular union—remarriage is discouraged. True relationship persists beyond death. Modern culture, however, promotes disorder, with women particularly manipulated into artificiality through fashion and cosmetics, losing their natural dignity and noble roles as mothers, wives, and daughters. Nature rejects this artifice, as even animals react negatively. Human life is precious and should not be wasted in conflict or serial relationships. Our purpose is to serve, love, meditate, and realize God. Remember you are human; this neutralizes negative animalistic tendencies like anger and jealousy. Your greatest enemy is taking offense, which stems from a lack of wisdom to understand others. Unite and open your heart, for universal principles like love belong to all. "Even when death takes my life, I will not cease to be faithful." "Your greatest enemy, and stupidity, and ignorance is taking offense." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 329

The Kumbh Melā reveals the power of faith and austerity. This ancient festival is for all humanity, preserved by tradition. Millions arrive uninvited, yet find perfect organization: free food, medical aid, and facilities on the riverbank sand. People endure extreme cold with minimal cloth, practicing tapasyā. Visitors from cold climates, heavily bundled, still fell ill, showing how comfort weakens the body. Spiritual progress requires steadfast practice, not seeking many masters or techniques. A story illustrates this: a disciple wasted decades searching, then wasted ten days digging wells wherever his master pointed each morning. The master revealed this mirrored his life—digging holes everywhere yields no water, just as changing paths yields no realization. Stay with one teaching. Realization is blocked by our own lack of vairāgya, tyāga, and tapasyā. "If you follow one thing, you will have perfection over everything." "Ek saje sab saje, sab saje sab jāe." "Śabd tīr kī aise lagī, miṭ gayā man magrūr." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 328

The nature of true spiritual perfection is contrasted with ego and misuse. Our lineage reveres the great sage Kapila, whom Krishna names as the perfect Siddha. India is an ocean of wisdom found in its scriptures, which teach the dignity of human life beyond mere animal existence. A true Siddha, like Kapila, possesses supreme self-control and clarity, revered even by the divine. However, seeking powers for oneself is dangerous. Proclaiming a Siddhi invites the thief of ego and anger, which steals it. A story illustrates this: a demon gained the power to destroy with a touch and immediately tried to test it on Shiva, forcing Vishnu to cleverly cause the demon's self-destruction. Therefore, true attainment brings humility, not proclamation. The only siddhis we readily possess are basic bodily functions. "Baḍā na bole bol—the great do not speak of their glory." "If you want to attain Siddhis, do not proclaim your Siddhi." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 327

The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

This is a story about a devotee's unwavering obedience to his master. Long ago, a young boy named Upamanyu sought Self-realization. His master gave only harsh work and denied him food. Upamanyu was forbidden from begging twice or drinking the cows' milk. He survived on foam from the cows' mouths. During a storm, he used his own body to plug a breach in a field. Later, starving, he ate poisonous leaves and went blind, falling into a well. When the master found him, he chanted a mantra. The god Aśvinī Kumār appeared, offering food. Upamanyu refused to eat without offering to his master first. For this ultimate devotion, he was blessed with Self-realization. The master revealed the disciple's suffering had always been in the master's own heart. "Master, I could not stop the water. And if I would not stop the water, I would not be able to fulfill my Guru Vākya. So I decided myself to lie here to block the water." "Even though you are God, you are giving me bhikṣā, you are giving me food to eat. I cannot eat without offering to my master." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 325

We are working on the awakening of spiritual consciousness. Consciousness contains strata of ignorance and past destiny. Purifying it by overcoming the bad and developing the good is the spiritual awakening. Ignorance is like darkness in a cave; it vanishes when light is brought. Our inner self is cosmic light, covered by three layers: mala (impurity), vikṣepa (disturbances), and āvaraṇa. Disturbances are the three tapas: troubles from others (Ādhibhautik), from within like disease (Ādhyātmik), and from astral beings (Ādhidaivik). Your mantra is the weapon to purify these, burn negative karma, and realize everlasting bliss, Paramanandam. Where there is light from mantra and Guru's blessing, no negative energy or magic can harm you. Fear creates ghosts; knowledge dispels them. You are an immortal soul with eternal inner light and the cosmic resonance of Aum. Awaken self-confidence and fearlessness through spiritual power. Do not do negative things. We need the Guru's blessing. "Similarly, in our consciousness or in our intellect, we have the darkness of ignorance. And when ignorance is present, then fear emerges from your subconscious." "Where there is ignorance, there is fear, there is darkness. And where there is knowledge, there is light, there is happiness." Filming location: Novo Mesto, SLO DVD 324

Awakening spiritual consciousness depends on the Maṇipūra Cakra, a purification and fire center. Consciousness resides within the five sheaths of the phenomenal being. The soul, or ātmā, exists within these bodies. As long as negative karmas and qualities persist, the astral body and individuated soul exist. Freedom from these leads to becoming wisdom itself, merging into infinity. Destiny is the product of past actions. You have freedom to act through body, mind, speech, and resources, but not to choose the results. Good karma leads toward light; bad karma toward darkness. The human body contains energy centers and 72,000 nerves, controlled by three primary channels. The left channel connects to the mind and emotion; the right to intellect and fire; the central to consciousness. Consciousness is pure but colored by deeds and experiences. Unfulfilled desires and unresolved problems reside in the subconscious, creating disturbances. The main cakras are energy centers along the spinal column. Past karma is dormant in the Mūlādhāra cakra. Awakening the Kuṇḍalinī energy awakens wisdom and purifies negative karmas, leading to spiritual qualities. This is achieved through authentic practice. The body is an instrument to be kept pure and returned to God. Liberation requires renouncing attachments and negative qualities. "You have the freedom to act, but you have no freedom to choose the result of your deeds." "Awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means awakening the best qualities. Where there is light, darkness disappears." Filming location: Novo Mesto, SLO DVD 323

The Maṇipūra Chakra is the city of jewels, the source of true richness. The greatest treasure is good health, achieved only through practice. Theory is nothing without it. Neglecting daily discipline allows negative qualities like jealousy and anger to return, destroying your inner harmony. Discipline is your inner master and the key to success; it is the rising sun. You must love all neighbors—every creature and plant—without condition. Never claim you lack time; we make time for what we value. This chakra is a mine of jewels: health, purified consciousness, and balanced karma. Contentment is the second richness; without it, you are a slave to your senses. The third is devotion to the Supreme, an unconditional love. The awakening of this chakra brings the fourth treasure: wisdom. The fire of Maṇipūra purifies all karma, burning it to ashes so pure consciousness remains. Your ego is the thief that steals these jewels. Kill this ego. When negativity disappears, pure spiritual consciousness awakens, uniting all in one family. This energy becomes a protective force. To gain it, you must love all and see the divine in everyone. "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice." "Your greatest enemy and the thief who steals all jewels of your maṇipūra is the ego." Filming location: Slovenia DVD 322

Sacred spaces possess a distinct spiritual atmosphere that influences all layers of being. This energy harmonizes the physical, mental, subtle, and causal bodies. The physical body receives healing, and the mind finds calm, reducing stress and confusion. Disharmony among these bodies creates anxiety and illness. Purification comes from visiting such places for meditation, prayer, or mantra repetition. These practices align the bodies and counteract worldly problems fueled by uncontrolled desires. Desires are natural, but human greed has lost the natural limits known to other life. Purifying the causal body through spiritual discipline and wisdom brings harmony and ends suffering. "When you go into a church, nobody needs to tell you to be silent. Automatically, you are silent." "Therefore, visiting a holy place—it doesn't matter, church, temple, ashram, synagogue, mosque—and sit for a while." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 321

The body and the universe are indescribable, containing undiscovered depths. Modern science has not discovered the body completely. The universe holds immense, unknown energy. Vedānta philosophy teaches non-dualism, that reality is one. Different forms exist, like various cups, but the essence is singular, like one moon reflected in many. This oneness means others are yourself. The space within a pot, a house, the heart, consciousness, and the cosmos are ultimately the same space, divided only by walls. This division is duality and ignorance. The immortal reality is the space itself, not the forms within it. Purified consciousness sees this unity. The universal mother is the endless space, and the cosmic consciousness within it is the golden embryo. Yoga is the principle that balances and harmonizes the entire universe. This unity is felt, not seen, as a resonance like love. All creation stems from one consciousness. "Look into every cup, and you will see one moon inside." "The reality is the water, the liquid."

The purpose of human life is self-realization, Ātmā Jñāna. We are souls traveling through cycles of rebirth, bound to this mortal world by destiny created through our karma. This destiny, like waves, directs our individual journey through pain, pleasure, and separation. The body is mortal, but the Ātmā is immortal. Our human intellect, which distinguishes us, must be used to transcend physical desires and attachment. We must accept our destiny while striving to return to our origin of supreme bliss. This requires disciplined daily practice, rooting out desires and anger, and receiving a mantra from the Guru. Satsaṅg provides essential wisdom and motivation. Through consistent mantra repetition and following the Guru's teachings, spiritual qualities blossom, leading to self-knowledge. This realized wisdom must then be shared with compassion. "Truth is ever... Truth, the evidence of that truth, will never die." "Therefore, be content. Inside, be relaxed and accept the destiny, and try to come back to the origin." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary DVD 318

Our goal is to reach home, to God, in unity. We mistakenly build our lives as permanent houses, but we are only guests. To find direction, constantly attend Satsaṅg; a single word heard there can provide new motivation, like rain on dry plants. Many are confused, having lost their way. Once you commit to the path, strive wholeheartedly with full presence; your body may be here, but if your attention is elsewhere, you receive nothing. Your spiritual practice is for your future, as your past inattention shapes it. Problems are not outside but within; when you change, your world changes. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is enlightenment within consciousness. The Maṇipūra Cakra is crucial for health and vitality. Purity of the inner instrument—mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego—comes from honesty and lack of negativity. When pure, ignorance lifts like a veil. Keep the Maṇipūra Cakra active through specific practices. "Constantly attend Satsaṅga. You never know when you might learn a new word, new ideas, a new hint, a new impulse, a new motivation." "Problems lie within us, nothing in others." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 317

Kuṇḍalinī is the cosmic power of divine consciousness and its awakening. The universe is composed of layered spaces, from the space within a vessel to the space of consciousness and the cosmos. All originated from Śūnyākāśa, an empty, inert space that is like a womb containing divine consciousness. The force that holds consciousness and space in balance is Yoga Śakti, the Divine Mother. From this union arose Icchā-Śakti, the divine will, expressed as the primal sound Oṃ. This sound pervaded the universe, giving rise to all elements and beings. This same awakening power, Kuṇḍalinī, exists within the human body. Its true awakening is in the Maṇipūra-cakra, not merely the Mūlādhāra. Awakening means every cell fills with light, love, and wisdom, not a physical sensation. Achieving this requires dedicated practice over years, including specific prāṇāyāma and kriyās, and the essential guidance of a Guru. With devotion and practice, one's consciousness expands from individual space to cosmic space, ensuring liberation. "Thus, harmony means Yoga—the union of the individual self with the divine self." "Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī means every blood cell, every soul, becomes filled with energy and light—light that is love, devotion, joy, bliss, wisdom, and reason." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 316

The world's conflict demands dialogue, tolerance, and compassion. Yoga is not merely exercise but living in harmony, aiming for union of the self with the cosmic Self. This Ātman is immortal, indestructible, and dwells within all. Ignorance veils this truth, creating fear and insecurity. Knowledge is twofold: Aparāvidyā is worldly learning, while Parāvidyā is knowledge of the Cosmic Self, transmitted through a true master upon inner purification. We are entangled in negative qualities like hatred and greed, which must be overcome. All religions speak of one truth and one God; the divine spark exists in every being. True religion is service, helping others. Realization frees one from karma and these negative states. Parāvidyā comes through love and surrender, not mere words. Live consciously in every action, including eating with awareness. Spiritual growth brings humility, not proclamation. The goal is to live yoga daily, transforming thought and action, leading to a pure, spiritual life where the individual self unites with the divine. "The goal of Yoga is union. It means the Self becomes one with the cosmic Self." "Parāvidyā comes through love. It means surrender." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 315

Today marks the 43rd year since Mahāprabhujī entered Mahāsamādhi. He lived 135 years through discipline and contentment. Our modern life lacks this, filled with worries that burden the body and shorten our lives. Past generations lived more peacefully and longer, aligned with nature without today's stressors. After age 35, the body's vitality declines. Divine incarnations occur to restore balance; saints embody this consciousness to guide humanity. A perfected being like Mahāprabhujī is an incarnation from Brahman, mastering the elements and radiating light. He foretold his departure, promising his energy remains with devotees. True spirituality is personal and neutral, beyond religion. Purity of heart attracts divine grace. "Where there is only purity, divine consciousness comes." "Birth after birth, in every life, please let me be your servant." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 314

Forgiveness is the path to end suffering caused by past hurt. The mind may wish to forgive, but the heart may refuse. Ask that refusing part what it wants to do instead, for any negative action creates more bad karma. The hurt happened because it was in your destiny; perhaps it was karmic revenge for a past action. If it was not, then by not forgiving you only create new karma and ensure your own constant suffering. The event itself is not terrible; suffering comes from a lack of understanding and an inflexible heart. You are not forced to suffer; you choose to by holding on. Therefore, forgive for your own benefit. Even holy beings must suffer their destined karma. Life is waves of happiness and unhappiness; the body's nature is to be born, grow, and die. This body is a house of disease and trouble, yet we are attached to it. Use this lifetime well. "Whatever you will do against them, it's again gaining more bad karma." "A person who cannot forgive, a person who is not flexible... this kind of person will be suffering all the time." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 313

Repetition is necessary for spiritual development because we forget and remain trapped in the cycle of saṃsāra. Our inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa—mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego—is dominated by the mind, which makes us its slave. The intellect must return to viveka, or discernment. The influence of Kali Yuga promotes greed and selfishness, making gold into a false god, contrary to all spiritual teachings that advocate a simple life. Our dormant mental tendencies, like fire, can awaken and destroy us. We are actors in a drama, but only in human life can we meet the Guru and achieve liberation. Therefore, one's aim must remain clear. Satsaṅg is the vehicle that carries you to your destination regardless of turbulence; it is the essential shelter and the remedy for a stressful life. Purify the antaḥkaraṇa daily and do not withdraw from satsaṅg, even when difficulties arise from past karma or relationships. "The mind is my slave, and you are the slave of the mind." "Satsaṅg is that aeroplane which will bring us to the Brahmaloka." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 312

The continuity of spiritual practice requires unwavering motivation and love, which are easily lost. Many begin practices but fail to maintain them, like teachers who instruct yet do not practice themselves. Starting is easy, like building a house, but continuation demands inner effort. Your aim provides motivation; losing it means losing your path. Sādhanā is the bucket to draw water from the well, and motivation is the rope. If the rope of willpower breaks near the top, all progress is lost. Negative thinking rots this rope. Doubt is a bacterium that can kill mighty motivation. A story tells of a yogi ready to quit after forty fruitless years. Watching an ant persistently carry a grain up a tree, falling and trying again, taught him never to give up. Life has problems and noise, like a water pump; to have water, you must accept the noise. Problems are the school of life and will never be fully solved. Therefore, you must find time for sādhanā. When love is lost, everything is lost. Water your practice with love, care, and wisdom, as a dry plant revives with water, light, and fertilizer. This harmony for body, mind, and soul is possible only if you do it. "Your negative thinking towards your aim is very bad. You should not have this thinking." "Love is lost; everything is lost. Then you have no motivation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 311

The essence of life is love, which all beings seek as happiness. Our body is the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, where the eternal war between dharma and adharma occurs. Dharma is our compassion and love; adharma is our ego and hate. Victory depends on which side we fight for. Divine connection requires love, not mere ritual. All existence is a temporary wave within a permanent ocean of unity, connected through sanātana relations. Spiritual practice requires holding fast to the master amidst life's grind, dedicating selfless service as true gratitude. Our ultimate aim is liberation, not material gain. "Prem hī jīvan hai, life is tas, liben. Love is the life." "God will not come without love... if there is no love inside, it will not come." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 310

The eternal divine light requires constant, devoted care to keep it burning. For thirty years, this light has been tended in Schikanedergasse, its flame spreading worldwide. Each person carries this inner light, a small flame capable of dispelling darkness. We are guests in this world, one of 8.4 million species, distinguished by our mind and intellect which require true education from parents. This light is the highest Self, present in all beings; it is divine consciousness. Ancient wisdom, like the prayer "lead us from darkness to light," is the best therapy for modern ailments like depression. God does not appear separately but exists within every aspect of creation. To see God, one must first illuminate one's own self with wisdom. This work began humbly, without furniture, and has grown like grass filling a garden through daily, persistent effort. The goal is universal: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health for all. "Therefore, in the Upaniṣads... it is said: 'Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya.' Lord, lead us from darkness to light." "Confucius says... 'It is better to light a candle than to stand in the darkness.'" Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 309

Excessive thinking consumes your energy and destroys concentration. This loss of mental energy is a violation of brahmacharya, which means losing vitality not only through sexuality but through illness, nervousness, and restless thought. Thinking that brings happiness gains energy, but thinking that brings unhappiness drains it tremendously, leading to a loss of focus and personal radiance. Your own negative thoughts are a form of self-torture, harming you and distancing you from your spiritual path. Life is a flow; dwelling on the past or future wastes the present moment. This mental mechanism is like a reactor and is very difficult to stop. Every thought and word you emit affects you first, like a boomerang returning. The external world from Satya Yuga has not changed; only your internal attitude has. You must therefore master your inner world through disciplined practice, positive thinking, and following a structured spiritual life to regain energy and purpose. "Thinking which makes you unhappy, then you are losing energy. It consumes tremendous mental energy, and your concentration vanishes." "Every thought that goes out of your brain, whatever you speak, will first influence you or come back to you." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 308

The light of life and the tree of peace symbolize our spiritual foundation. An eternal light was kindled thirty years ago, establishing an ashram with a sacred intention. Life originates from primordial sound, which manifests the five elements: fire, air, water, earth, and space. The Vedas contain the knowledge of the entire universe, revealed by sages through meditation and discipline. All existence, including vegetation and stones, contains divine energy, or Śakti. This conscious power is present in all things, from a kitchen knife to a growing tree. Human life is a precious opportunity for self-realization, often squandered by slavery to the senses and negative thoughts. True success is realizing divine consciousness, not acquiring material possessions. Our thoughts possess the power to liberate or destroy us. The planted tree, watered with coconut milk, unites light, life, and nature as a symbol of this eternal peace. "Through sound, vibration, throughout the entire universe, in the endless universe, an element came forth: the fire element." "To live successfully means to realize divine consciousness within oneself." Filming locations: Türkenschanzpark, Vienna, Austria. DVD 307

Oneness is the core principle, where all existence is a sacred manifestation of the one God. Hinduism believes in one God, Brahman. All other deities are manifestations or principles, like the five elements, given holy names to inspire respect and prevent pollution. Every living being is a light of that one God. We celebrate and respect all creation, including trees and animals, recognizing their divine roles. This respect extends to daily life, where food is God and nothing should be wasted. Harmony with nature is essential for happiness. Human relationships, like marriage, should seek oneness, ideally guided by astrological harmony rather than mere emotion. Your name, chosen based on birth constellations, carries protective power. Numbers and symbols also influence life. Regular satsang, communion with truth through prayer, good company, or meditation, is vital to avoid negativity and stay aligned. The body is a divine, temporary garment for the soul; keep it pure and do not waste time. "Eko-Brahma-Dvitīya-Nāsti. There is only one God, that is called Brahman." "Lead your life in harmony with nature. Then you will be happy." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 306

God speaks through the human heart as a divine instrument. God is in every heart, but adoration goes to the heart through which God speaks to the world. To share that wisdom is a blessing. Our duty is to serve and protect all. When you work selflessly as a karma yogī, you become God's instrument. Though you have limits, extra energy comes, and you enjoy the service; this is God consciously working through you. Like a runner's high, selfless work awakens extra spirituality. Be like a great tree offering shade and fruit to all, not a barren palm tree. Joy is in giving. As you give, you receive manifold. If you give unkind words, you suffer more inside. If you give kindness, you have inner peace. Serve until your last breath. To be a teacher of this wisdom is to be a channel of God's love through practical help. You never know if you will get such a life again. Protect the dignity of your origins and serve all. "Baḍā huā to kyā huā, jaise ped khajūr. Panthī ko chāyā nahī̃." "Service to all creatures is service to me." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 305

True spiritual wealth is found in satsang, not in material greed. A woman heard that a saint's visit made "diamonds rain," a metaphor for spiritual wisdom. She invited a fraud, hoping for literal diamonds. He revealed her greed, explaining true "diamonds" come from sacred company, not deception. This illustrates the two paths: Uthan (elevation) through Sat Sangha (good company) and Patan (downfall) through Ku Sangha (bad company). Satsang is the rare, transformative touchstone in this age. A greedy man asked God for a golden touch, a wish that ruined his life, showing that desires for powers trap us. True grace is wishing only for divine mercy. The Guru transforms the disciple's essence, unlike a stone that merely changes metal. "Therefore, it is said that in this Kali Yuga, it is very rare to have a satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, you cannot achieve and you cannot get knowledge." "Paras makes iron into gold, but Paras does not make the iron into Paras. The Guru makes the disciple into a Guru."

Understanding the new generation requires observing their different world. Each generation experiences a unique world situation, society, and living conditions. The youth have a different attitude and vision, shaped by circumstances unlike those of the past. They lack the direct experience of previous hardships and take many things for granted. Therefore, one must understand and observe them without imposing outdated expectations. Attempting to force change is like hastily uprooting nettles, which only causes infection. The approach is to lower expectations on both sides, accept the present reality, and let go of the need to control. A great help is often to not help, but to remain inwardly relaxed and available when truly needed. The situation is that we do not understand them, and they do not understand us. "Therefore, take it as it is. Just relax. Let it be, that's all." "And so it is with the children, who live in different worlds... So, just accept it as it is. You cannot change everything right now." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 303

The Ātmā is your true self, the form of peace and divine bliss, which is immortal and within. We seek happiness outside, but it is our own nature. Realization is obstructed by three impurities: Mala, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa. Mala is impurity in thought, emotion, and action, which blocks clarity and love. Vikṣepa is disturbance from external problems and restless thoughts that agitate the mind like waves on water. Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance, not knowing the Self and not listening. Remove these through purity, minimizing trouble, and satsaṅg. Then you see your immortal Ātmā. Animal energies like anger and jealousy, rooted in the lower chakras, must be purified through renunciation and directing all consciousness toward the divine. "Where there is impurity, love doesn't come. Where there is impurity, the Divine Śakti doesn't come." "Remove the āvaraṇa of ignorance. To remove the āvaraṇa of ignorance, the best way is satsaṅg."

Health is the primary goal, attained through daily practice, not given but earned with personal time and effort. Life changes suddenly, and later regret is useless; therefore, wise time management is essential. Dedicate two and a half hours daily, reclaiming time lost to idle habits, for targeted exercises that bring balance. Health cannot be bought; it depends on your decision and sustained effort. A midlife crisis often arises after age thirty-five, a time to set aside worldly interests and think rationally. Psychological health is crucial; all beautiful things are transient, and we must endure life's varied conditions like a solitary tree. External pursuits like money or the perfect partner are unreliable; only your own practice supports you. The awakened must awaken others, passing on wisdom so it is not lost. True service is carrying forward this light through daily practice, not just menial tasks. Focus on the genuine spiritual lineage to receive the authentic teaching. "Nothing is gifted to us from heaven. The effects will manifest only if you practice." "If you try to have everything, you lose the other, because you are aimless."

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, harmony, and union. It is ancient, as old as the planet itself, and not merely a physical exercise. The many branches and teaching styles are like different architects using the same materials. The core principles constitute a way of life: sāttvic vegetarian nourishment, ahiṃsā, love for all creatures, positive thinking, and the ultimate aim of God-realization. This spirituality is essential; without it, practice is only a physical, unreal pursuit of a destructible body. One must cultivate mental power and self-inquiry. Yoga must not be commercialized or turned into competition. While no one owns yoga, specific quality programs may be protected to preserve purity. Inconsistent practice, such as mixing yoga with meat and alcohol, contradicts its essence. The various yogas—Bhakti, Karma, Rāja, Jñāna—are interdependent, like the elements of a body. Human tendency is to think negatively, but yoga develops positive understanding and trust. "Yoga is that principle which balances the entire universe." "Without spirituality, there is no yoga."

Mastery of destiny is a lifelong task requiring personal effort, not external miracles. The body, mind, and feelings are natural; a healthy being experiences all emotions. Mastery comes through discernment and applying one's own wisdom to oneself, for we readily comfort others but not ourselves. A true master solves their own problems. Personal problems can be known and resolved through this wisdom, while impersonal ones must at least be understood. Be vigilant, observing the constant change within; always use your intellect. "Therefore, a master is one who can solve their own problems for themselves." "Personal problems can be known, resolved, liberated from, or mastered through one's own wisdom."

True knowledge is Ātmajñāna, self-realization, as taught in ancient wisdom. We have forgotten this natural Dharma. Even celestial bodies like the sun and moon, understood deeply through meditation by ancient seers, reveal divine immanence. The path requires the Guru's instruction, service, and grace. A story illustrates this: Viśvāmitra, after great austerity, sought the title Brahmaṛṣi from Vasiṣṭha, who refused. Consumed by anger, Viśvāmitra killed Vasiṣṭha's cow and plotted his murder. Upon overhearing Vasiṣṭha spontaneously call him "Brahmaṛṣi," Viśvāmitra was transformed, begging forgiveness. He offered the fruits of his 60,000-year Tapasyā. Vasiṣṭha offered instead the fruit of one minute in Satsaṅg. A dispute arose, taken even to Śeṣanāga, who demonstrated that the merit of a minute's Satsaṅg outweighed millennia of solitary penance. Thus, true attainment comes not from forced effort but through grace and righteous company, leading to the ultimate truth beyond time. "Scientists now say moonlight is more important for plants, vegetation, and fruits than sunlight." "One minute of Satsaṅg is much, much more than 60,000 years of the torment of the Bhāṣya."

The true Self is the universal Ātman, distinct from the individual soul, which is a mixture of that pure Self and accumulated karma. Every soul is a unique collection of past actions, yet the underlying Ātman in all is identical and perfect. Our journey is the soul's longing to realize its true nature as that ocean of consciousness, overcoming the temporary islands of separation and ignorance created by karma. The hidden forces within us include both divine qualities like love and devotion and negative emotions like anger and greed. Through education, ethical living, and practices like meditation and mantra, we can nurture the good and uproot the weeds. These practices harmonize the five elements within us, aligning the individual with the cosmic vibration from which all creation arises. The ultimate goal is Self-realization, where the knower, knowledge, and known become one inseparable whole. "Please correct once again: The soul is not the Self. The Self is the Ātman, which is entirely different from the soul." "Every ātman is the same. And every Jīvātmā, every soul, has a relationship." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 296

The lineage of grace begins with spiritual birth from parents rich in heart through lives of austerity, not fanaticism. Such couples are tested across generations. A holy soul incarnates into such a family. Parents naturally desire conventional happiness for their child; renunciation from disappointment is not pure detachment. Rare are those who find and recognize the true spiritual lineage and master. This meeting is the fruit of destiny. The time of Godhūlī, when cows depart, is sacred. Cows embody divinity; harming them is a grave sin. Spiritual power from the masters is an inheritance we multiply. Spiritual progress requires renouncing negative qualities like jealousy and anger, or one risks lower rebirths through karma. Your speech and actions reserve your future state. One should avoid places where God is disrespected. "Rare are those who find the Satguru Deva and that spiritual lineage, which assures spiritual development." "Your criticism reserves your place. It is not dependent on me or you, but on our actions: what we think, feel, and speak." Filming location: To be DVD 295

To be a teacher is to become a channel for divine wisdom, a special blessing. All knowledge is God's gift, flowing through you to others. Knowledge requires additional knowledge; you must know when to use it and when not to, like a loyal monkey with a sword who removes a fly but also the king's nose. A teacher, especially a yoga teacher, must know what, when, and how to teach. Spiritual knowledge is universal, not bound to religion or country. If you do not use your knowledge, it disappears with your death. A master gives guidance in physical form, but his grace remains after the body is gone. You must surrender to the spiritual lineage. If you teach with ego, saying "I can do it," you create a blockage. Spirituality is lost if you treat it as a temporary holiday. You must dedicate your life and learn to give. To teach, you must first master yourself, answer your own doubts, and be clear. Otherwise, you are not a true channel. "Knowledge requires another knowledge. You must know when to use it and when not to use it." "A master can give you liberation and guidance as long as he is in physical form. Afterward, if you pray and meditate, some of his spiritual energy will come as a kind of protection." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 294

Yoga is the balancing and harmonizing principle of life and the universe, essential for human existence. It means union and is the foundation of all realization, from building a happy family to seeking knowledge. The common practice of postures and breath is merely kindergarten; the full path leads through ethical living, self-inquiry, and ultimately to asking "Who am I?" We must live by principles like non-violence, love, and forgiveness. Our condition is like Arjuna, who was with God but did not recognize Him; a curtain of ignorance separates us from knowing our true Self. Yoga in daily life is a 24-hour system to transform human into divine, requiring we protect ourselves from negative speech and thoughts, symbolized by the three monkeys. It means building up the human, protecting the environment, and using kind words even towards the unfriendly. The goal is to achieve life's aims—duty, material needs, right desire, and liberation—while inspiring spirituality in others. We must wake up to the rare chance of human life. "Yoga in daily life means leading your life according to yoga 24 hours a day. If you deny or break the law, you have broken that chain." "To be a practitioner of yoga in daily life means you are learning how to rescue creatures. You are the saviour of all seekers, all beings." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 293

A yoga teacher's effectiveness is destroyed by subconscious prejudices, which must be cleansed to experience the true value of practice. We carry wrong ideas like hidden salt, making all experiences taste the same and blocking real benefit. Many teachers fail because they operate from these impressions, losing the devotion and confidence that define spiritual teaching. Without this inner conviction, one becomes like a wingless bird, vulnerable and unable to fly, searching externally for what can only be found within. Practices like Sūrya Namaskāra and Kathā Praṇām each have their own dignity, but one cannot discern or enjoy their unique benefits with a contaminated perception. The loss of faith leads to a hollow search through other disciplines, but the inner emptiness rejects all substitutes. True teaching requires deep personal experience, analytical ability, and unwavering love for the path, free from commercial interest or negative gossip. The core principle is "nahaṃ kartā"—I am not the doer; the divine is the doer. "When you have yellow glasses, then you see everything yellow." "If you have not found within yourself, you will not find outside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 292

Yoga is the principle uniting space and consciousness. The universe is endless space, Brahman, filled with Universal Consciousness. The balance between this cosmic body and its conscious essence is yoga. This balance manifests as harmony, resulting in the union of the individual self with the cosmic Self. The obstacles to this union are internal: negative thoughts and qualities. These disturbances are like insubstantial bubbles, yet they create suffering through projected ignorance. Only you can remove these obstacles through honest self-enquiry. Many approach practice like a child refusing to stand, remaining paralyzed despite guidance. True yoga is the divine balancing principle of the universe, from which creation arises. Common physical exercises are not yoga; liberation requires changing the inner attitude. Meditation is essential, but it cannot be forced; it arises spontaneously like sleep, from dispassion towards worldly entanglement. Attempts to meditate often remain preoccupied with worldly problems. The transition in meditation moves consciousness from worldly concerns to divine and then cosmic awareness. "Yoga means the balancing principle. The manifestation of this balance is harmony, and the result of harmony is unity." "Meditation cannot be practiced. Meditation comes of itself, like sleep."

Yoga in Daily Life is the systematic practice to realize harmony for body, mind, and soul. The body's dharma is to be born, grow, and die. We are like mobile trees but often live unhealthily, creating disturbances. Suffering arises from three sources: other creatures, astral forces, and the mind itself. Through exercises, prāṇāyāma, nourishment, and meditation, we harmonize the body's systems. A harmonized body leads to a calm mind. The world is created from the mind; your thinking shapes your reality. If you think you are lonely or poor, you are. If you think you are happy and loved, you are. Mastering the mind is essential; without mastery, you are its slave, like the king in the story. A disciplined daily routine of practice fills empty space and creates happiness. True, lasting happiness is not found in external, temporary things but within. Harmony for the soul comes from inner contentment. Live according to yogic principles for 24 hours. Accept what is. If you see faults in others, you are mistaken. Nothing can disturb you when you are kind and friendly. "Being a king does not mean that you are a master of your mind." "Mental harmony is only how you think—harmony or disharmony." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 290

The six purification practices of Haṭha Yoga are essential for health. Netī cleanses the nasal passages, providing a good feeling and better sleep; a little oil in the nostrils afterwards offers protection. Dhautī means cleaning, with Jal Dhautī, or Kunjal Kriyā, involving drinking and expelling warm salt water to purify the stomach channels. It should be done weekly, not daily, and is unsuitable for those with high eye pressure, certain diabetic eye conditions, or hernias. Sūtra Dhautī uses a swallowed cloth to clean the digestive tract. These practices are very healthy, especially for mucus or asthma. Prāṇāyāma, particularly deep breathing and Kapālabhāti, expands the chest and lungs, providing oxygen against asthma. A vegetarian diet of fresh fruits and vegetables provides living energy, aligning with Ahiṃsā. Agniṣāra Kriyā awakens digestive fire and cleanses. Nauli involves churning the stomach muscles and promotes great digestive health. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, a full intestinal cleanse, should be done seasonally under guidance, followed by dietary restrictions. These Kriyās define Haṭha Yoga practice. "If you practice Netī, you have a very good feeling the whole day, and in the evening, you sleep well." "Prāṇāyāma is very, very good against asthma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 289

Haṭha Yoga Kriyās purify the body to achieve health and balance the three nāḍīs. These six actions, or ṣaṭ karma, are independent practices done for a positive result. The first kriyā is neti, a nasal cleansing. Use lukewarm salt water to clean the nostrils, which filters air and removes dust. Salt prevents irritation and aids cleaning. After neti, perform kapālbhāti to expel residual water and prevent sinus issues; inhale through the mouth and exhale forcefully through the nose using abdominal pressure. Do not confuse it with bāstrīkā, which also uses abdominal breath but for lung capacity. Neti is best done in the morning or several hours before sleep, and can be done in the evening to clear pollution. Practice regularly. "Haṭha Yoga kriyās are meant for the purification of the body." "After practicing neti, you must do the kapālbhāti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 288

Haṭha Yoga is the union of Iḍā and Piṅgalā through willpower and purification. It is defined first as forceful will, illustrated by four types: a child's stubbornness, a woman's determination, a king's command, and a yogī's independent resolve. The second definition is from scripture: Ha represents the lunar nerve Iḍā and Ṭha the solar nerve Piṅgalā. Yoga is their balance and union, awakening the central Suṣumnā. Modern practice mistakenly labels āsanas and prāṇāyāma as Haṭha Yoga; these are actually steps of Rāja Yoga. True Haṭha Yoga involves Ṣaṭ Karma—six purifying kriyās like Netī—which can cure diseases and rejuvenate the body. Success requires willpower, a settled life, and pure diet. It is a science of awakening the body's inner nerves and consciousness. "As soon as you are depending on someone or something, your will is lost." "You are practicing Rāja Yoga but thinking it is Haṭha Yoga because of a lack of knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 287

The path of harmony requires acceptance and wisdom. We aim for harmony of body, mind, and soul. The body's nature is to be born, grow, and die, like a tree through seasons; this cannot be altered. We cannot expect perfect lifelong health. We must learn to accept all that happens. To resist reality is to swim against the current. Yoga offers a practical way to balance our nature. Practices affect us, but the effect depends on guiding our thoughts with wisdom. For every situation, use wisdom to find a solution and accept it. Good health supports balanced thinking, but without it, thinking weakens. Do not blame others for your lack of acceptance. Learn to live together with compromise and understanding. The world is changing like a dream; you cannot relive yesterday. Develop self-confidence and willpower. No one is physically immortal or perfectly healthy forever. Work spiritually to understand life's purpose. Learn to overcome every situation through your own wisdom. There is no one to blame for what happens to you; it happened because you are here. The wise do not run from their mind. Self-respect comes from respecting others; where you cannot, that is ego. "Therefore, we cannot promise or expect perfect health for our entire lives. There will always be something, and we must learn to accept it." "If you do not accept, it is your problem, for reality remains. To resist is to swim against the current."

The spiritual river flows with immense energy, accessible through the vessel of your devotion. Pollution now contaminates the physical world, a self-inflicted torture ignored even by the educated. The greatest threat is climate change, which will bring universal suffering. Your mind creates your reality; thinking you are happy or lonely makes it so. Solve problems at their root in the subtle bodies, not just the physical. Maintain the ashram's spiritual atmosphere by leaving jealousy outside and concentrating on your practice. The divine feminine is revered and protected, symbolizing devotion. Bhakta and Bhagavān share an inseparable oneness, as God is present with every true devotee. "The amount you receive depends entirely on your own love and devotion." "Your world is as you think. If you think you are happy, you are happy."

Life is eternal and meant for celebration, not sorrow. The Ātmā is never born and never dies; only the body perishes. You are that immortal Self, beyond all physical and mental forms. Realizing this ends suffering, for misery stems from identifying with the transient world. Practice Ātmacintan—the constant remembrance "I am the Ātmā." When consciousness descends to bodily attachment, jealousy and loss arise. Uplift it yourself. Human intellect is a singular gift for realizing the divine, yet it is misdirected toward materialism, causing all planetary troubles. Life continues based on karma, so heed your actions. True change comes from within, by altering your thinking and inner attitude. "Thou art Ātmā; you are not the body, you are not the mind." "Human has only one plus point, and that is intellect. The human can develop through this intellect to realize God and do good things." DVD 284

Āsana has multiple meanings. It can refer to the mat or cloth you sit on, which holds your personal energy. It can mean your bed or your residence. Primarily, it denotes any comfortable, steady posture, with 8.4 million said to exist in nature. The postures practiced are often derived from observing creatures at rest. Every movement affects the body's systems. Practice must be safe and individualized, not imitated. Difficult postures can be modified. For example, Sarvāṅgāsana requires careful technique to avoid spinal injury. Its duration depends on personal capacity. Yoga is highly individual; group classes teach techniques you must adapt. Excess weight burdens practice; long-term dietary adjustments can help. "Generally, nobody should sit on your āsana because it is your energy inside, and if someone else sits on it, then the energy is mixed." "Yoga is individual, not general... What we are learning in the group is the technique. You have to choose for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 283

Attachment binds the soul, while love liberates it. Ancient texts describe ascetics meditating in forests, sustained by natural foods. That forest is gone, replaced by a human one. We must now practice where we are. A story tells of a sage who rescued a deer embryo, becoming deeply attached to the deer. Upon dying, his soul, fixated on the deer, entered its womb and he was reborn as a deer. He realized his rebirth was caused by that attachment. Where your attachment lies, there you reside. Love differs from attachment; one brings freedom, the other bondage. Learn from animals: they care for their young but then grant freedom. Unhealthy attachment is a chain that keeps you suffering in life's fires. You think you are responsible, but destiny belongs to God. Your duty is to educate and support, then release. Most parents suffer because children do not follow them. Cultivate good friends and disciples instead, as they may care for you more. Attachment is ignorance. What you think is yours is not. Free yourself from this prison. "Where your desire and attachment lie, there you will reside." "As parents, we can give only birth, not destiny." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 281
