Some of the things Swami discusses in this talk are: how we can prepare ourselves to be open and attuned to God's guidance; the ways in which guidance comes to us; how to discern the difference between true guidance and personal projection; and, what to do when guidance doesn't come to us.

In this talk, Swami goes right to the heart of our teachings: how to love God more. He reminds us that God doesn't care what we know, but how much we love. Divine Mother likes simple devotion, and in prayer she responds to the quality of our hearts, not our words. He also explains that when we meditate with just our minds it doesn't feed the soul; we must meditate with devotion!

In this talk, Swami reminds us not to limit our love to just one person or family, but to expand it to include everyone and to see everyone as our own. He also relates that life's experiences, especially the painful ones, help us to release our egoic pride and drop the sheathes surrounding our heart, allowing it to be softened. Once softened, the heart's natural love can flow freely through us, and we are able to love with God's love.

Swami states that relationships represent our soul's desire to expand, to unite with others, and to ultimately merge with infinity. They provide an excellent opportunity for growth by helping us to see our own faults, rid ourselves of false expectations, and learn unconditional acceptance and love. Swami also tells us to allow healthy space in our relationships, how to discuss difficult issues at appropriate times, and to give others the right to learn from their own mistakes.

Swami tells us that it's difficult to change bad habits using only thought and reason because our minds are influenced by desires and attachments. When we reach a superconscious state, however, we can change a deep-seated habit in one meditation!
