To be yourself!  When prana level is low - you feel upset, angry, dejected and not so good.  When prana level is even lower - you feel life is not worth living.  When prana level is normal - you feel yourself, like a normal human being.  When prana is a little higher than normal - you feel more creative, enthusiastic, and joyful.  And if it is even higher, you realize something much deeper. Sadhana is meant to increase this prana level in you.  If your prana level is constantly high - then you don’t need to do sadhana - that is what is Enlightenment; your optimum prana.  Some 40 years back, I remember, an elderly gentleman asked me, "Are you tired? You must be tired!" There was an 86 years old gentleman with me, he pounced on the person, suddenly saying, "Come on! A yogi will not get tired!" That is true!  Tiredness is when our senses go outward; the moment the senses start turning inward, we are tapping into the eternal source of ener...

The divinity inside us is covered by: 1. a veil  2. distress 3. impurities. These are three layers that cover the individual soul and keeps it away from the universal soul. In fact universal soul is the individual soul; there is no difference. But these impurities cover the spirit, the energy in us.  There are two aspects. There are certain things we can do and certain things we cannot do; it has to be done for us.  Yagyas are those type of purification which is done for us, which you cannot individually do but it is done for us. All the karmas and sins are washed away and that leaves you free, pure. And that's when joy wells us; that's when you experience bliss.  Bliss is deep inside us but it gets covered by a veil. When the veil gets lifted by the grace and these are those occasions where we rejoice. And it's done for the whole world.  Even those who did not come here, even they will get the benefit for sure. It is not that only those people who a...

All of you should take this sankalpa today – that whether it be your friends, family members, relatives, husband or wife, whoever comes to you should leave with more joy and peace. You will not give them a chance to complain. You will endure and go through whatever karma you have to bear, but you will make their life happier.  Why should we trouble and burden others with our karma? Sharing one’s sorrow never reduces it. And Joy never lessens by sharing, it only increases. So share joy, and surrender your sorrow and misery to the Divine, or just bear it and go through it, thinking of it as your penance.  When you follow this, then your personality blossoms and all your talents and skills get enhanced. If you just sit and cry about something or the other, and make others also cry, then what’s the use? What is the use of crying and complaining about anything? Life is so temporary, you never know when it will come to an end. When life is so short, what is the use of cr...
