O human! Know the true form of wisdom, worship and karma because these form the core strength to proceed towards a new era.

O human! Know the true form of wisdom, worship and karma because these form the core strength to proceed towards a new era. In Kaliyug - age of machines, only those techniques will be a source of deliverance which require one to work on oneself.

And all this is possible only when we are aware of these moments through dhyan yog - true contemplation and pure consciousness.

Only those who will do the penance of trying to achieve gyan, bhakti and karma - absolute wisdom, devotion and right conduct at the right time - will be able to keep pace with the silent steps of time which is moving towards Satyug.

This penance is not to be performed by rituals and external displays of devotion but only through a conscious awareness of our reality.

Absolute knowledge is complete knowledge of apara and para gyan and with the combination of these, dhyan - true contemplation, vivek - wisdom, and sadbuddhi - good senses are ignited, collectively called gyan-dhyan tattvabuddhi by Guru Nanak.

Apara knowledge is that which is obtained by studying the worldly sciences. Para knowledge is that which is prevalent in the entire universe.

It can be attained only by being detached, away from happiness and pain, mine and thine, existence and non-existence of the self. Divine grace is showered only upon a human with a one-point programme.

Absolute devotion truly means being pious, pure and have nectar-like sweet love for every matter and being, just love and only love. Only when such divine love merges with complete and whole surrender, true bhakti yog is ignited.

Absolute karma is represented symbolically by the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. That is why the entire universe is so perfectly organised. O human, all three of them are within you.

Create something new every day, and deriving the bliss out of creation, become Brahma. Take it towards perfection and become Vishnu; and Goddess Lakshmi herself will then be at your feet – give you wealth; but never the wealth that go to your head.

After experiencing the joy of creativity and perfection, play the damru, the drums of balance. Do the tandav - dance of destruction to annihilate deformity, irregularity, and ugliness.

Through dhyan yog, ignite the power to open the third eye, the agya chakra – the chakra of intuition. Become Shiv. Destroy imperfection and be the cause of making the world satyam, shivam sunderam – truthful, rhythmic and beautiful.

Everyone has within them a spark of divinity. Only, it has to be awakened. The first step is to know your truth and accept it, and this is possible only through dhyan.

We have to be aware of when and where we have faltered on the Laws of Nature. Just by being aware of this much, Nature herself shows the way and provides assistance to move forward.

This is what is meant by prabhu kripa ananta – the divine's grace is endless. It has to be experienced. This is the Truth. The Truth is here.
