Recorded on 12 July 2025 with worldwide participants
0:00 Intro
0:07 People today have an expectation of instant results, what is the importance of patience?
6:14 Do we first need to realise that peace in the mind is what we need?

13:37 "Until the last breath of life, put in efforts"
14:18 How do we avoid comparing ourselves to others?
15:37 Do we judge others in a wrong way due to our mental habits? Do we need to restrain ourselves to avoid further indulging these thoughts?
20:34 Is patience still necessary for a Yogi or is it effortlessly there?
22:12 Is every action of a Yogi for the benefit for the student?

44:29 A family member is suffering from health problems. Can Babaji speak about the acceptance of destiny in this regard?
