Svanta Sukaya, Because it Gives Me Satisfaction

Through the space, through the walls of the stable flows the breeze of the divine energy which becomes your breath. This divine energy passes through you, as it enters you, as it leaves you.

The non-self-centered meditation has certain features to it. It is dedicated entirely to the will of God, and to the grace of the guru lineage.
Further Advice on New Practices (2010 – 2013)

So far as the AHYMSIN family is concerned, upon seeing you all I feel deep satisfaction – that there is a sense of deep stability here.

Children’s Spiritual Training

Nowadays, in all cultures, there is an increasing anxiety about the lack of discipline and loss of non-violent values in the society, especially among the youths. This is equally true of India. No amount of social programmes, whether for the rich or the poor can change such destructive tendencies. In spite of tremendous amount of funds allocated for preventing drug addiction in both the developed and “developing” countries, the problem of addiction keeps increasing. However much the Indian national pride may deny the epidemiology of aids, this has become a fact of life.
