A photo from a satsang on a stage with dark red curtains. Behind him stands a gold-and-red throne backdrop with garlands in green, orange and yellow and a small gold deity murti. Seated before him on the floor, a group of devotees in white and orange clothes, including a woman in a white sari, a young man in white dhoti, and a woman in pink, listen in a seated satsang gathering. A silver tray of rice sits at lower left, and a gilded throne armrest appears at right.A photograph of a ritual scene in a plain room with pink walls and a red curtain. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on mats in rows, many wearing dark lanyard-style cords with rudraksha-like beads. They hold brass bells and incense sticks, with smoke drifting through the air, and open books or papers rest on their laps. In front of them are brass plates with flowers, turmeric-yellow powder, oil lamps lit on the floor, and small bowls of food offerings. Standing behind them at the far right is another figure in white. Nobody's face is singled out for identification here; the scene shows a group pooja with bells, incense and lamps.A seated man in orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation on a mat atop a circular platform of white stones and painted floral designs in an open dirt yard. He has a red tilak on his forehead, long swept-back hair, and a small brass cup or vessel rests near his hand. Behind him stands an orange stepped pedestal topped by a dark deity murti draped with yellow-and-purple marigold garlands.

His Divine Holiness explained that when you retain the pure conscious state in you, that restful awareness, you get into a space where you see the whole, and not just things related to the five senses you are carrying and when you see the whole the picture about your life changes the idea about your life changes. He explained that when you dive into that deepest awareness, the understanding which happens in you liberates you from all fears,all greed, all disturbances and you will live in a liberated way.
