Ma tells us that we have to cultivate Sattva Guna as Rajo Guna and Tamo Guna are constantly trying to influence us and make us suffer. The way to cultivate Sattva Guna is to constantly introspect over the ephemeral nature of everything in this world. Nothing here can give us permanent happiness, rather they ultimately give us unhappiness. Also our mind is full of desires about various things and these desires make usrestless. So a wise person must cultivate sattva guna and remove all the desires.

Poojya Swamiji enlightens us that there is a lot of science behind temples, installation of deity and deity worship. God is an all pervading presence, yet it is very difficult for most people to think or visualize his Omnipresence. So, the Priest who installs the idol, implores God to come and be present in the idol. He instills the force and power of Prana into the stone.

What is the purpose of religion? It is to instill spiritual values that will make the mind stronger and purer. With the help of examples from our epics, Poojya Swamiji explains the purpose of religious and spiritual practices.

In spirituality, what matters are dispassion and yearning for liberation. Even if one does not have dispassion, practice of introspection will bring it. When one understands that the whole world is fleeting and ephemeral, how can there be attraction towards it? The focus naturally lands on the substratum behind all the changes, and the yearning to know it grows.

The existence of the world is depending upon us, the observer or the experiencer. This experientiality is the factor that we have to use in the whole of Vedantic study and pursuit. After hearing this, one should introspect or ruminate over whatever has been heard, until at last the knowledge becomes assimilated. This requires mind to be pure and endowed with virtues like truthfulness and sincerity.

Poojya Swamiji delves into the need for development and nourishment of qualities which enrich our inner personality. Only a guileless heart can know the Self. Thus, the values like straightforwardness, truthfulness, etc. become very important in the spiritual journey.

Poojya Swamiji speaks about the glory of this austerity of Brahmacharya, what mental bhava is required for its practice, and how it is one of the greatest offerings to God.

Every quality is an embellishment, is an ornament, an enrichment to our system. But what is the way to cultivate the qualities of mind and intelligence? Poojya Swamiji gives us a simple formula.

Our perception of the world, our response to it, and the joy or sorrow, these are all the products of the mind. Hence, if we can train our mind to produce good thoughts, it will be always joyful.
