In this material world everyone wants to enjoy more and more sense pleasures, but they always receive suffering and unhappiness.
⁠Maya is very powerful.
⁠Sloka: daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā (Bhagavad Gita 7.14).
⁠Our only hope is to receive the Guru’s mercy.
⁠In Maya, the person becomes a slave to anger, envy, etc.
⁠Who is happy? Everyone thinks that the one who is the richest is happy, but no one is happy in this world.
⁠About Vrtasura.
⁠Sloka: mamottamaśloka-janeṣu sakhyaṁ
saṁsāra-cakre bhramataḥ sva-karmabhiḥ (Srimad Bhagavatam 6.11.27).
When bhakti awakens in the heart, vairagya and jnana manifest naturally.
⁠Three types of jnana: tvam padartha jnana (knowledge about the soul); tat padartha jnana (knowledge about God); jiva brahma aika jnana (knowledge about the union of the jiva with God): this must be REJECTED!
⁠History of the jnani and the sadhu’s teaching on love relationships in family life.
⁠Sadhu, Guru and Vaisnavas travel around the world giving their energies (their potency) to everyone. Sing the Holy Names!
