The Sunday Satsang began with spiritual chants and silence. Upon arrival, Masterji was welcomed by the Abhyasis and honoured by two devotees on their birthdays. He then began his discourse by questioning the real purpose of **Adhyatmikathe** (spirituality), stating that it is to **discard accumulated negativity** within. This process, he said, is possible only through the **energy and guidance of a Guru**.

Masterji emphasized the need to identify and willingly discard one’s negative traits. The goal is to experience **“Nothingness” within**, which signifies spiritual progress. This state of inner emptiness, free from ego and qualities (**guṇagaLu**), leads one towards **liberation (Mukthi)**. To reach this state, one must practice **Silentation** and stay connected to the Master’s divine energy, which can destroy humanly-acquired qualities.

He explained that **God is Zero (Sonne)** and all existence originates and dissolves into it. The soul too is zero, and spiritual practice leads one back to this source. **Desires**, he said, are the root of suffering and cause rebirth. Experiencing “Nothing” dissolves desires and leads to lasting peace.

Masterji elaborated on the connection between material objects (**Vasthugalu**), sensory experiences (**Vishayagalu**), and thoughts (**Vicharagalu**), which originate from the mind (**Manasu**). To attain peace, the mind must be thoughtless — a state called **Mano-nasha**.

He described the ideal spiritual state as that of a **Sadhu**, one who is non-reactive and unaffected by external circumstances — a condition of **living death**. True progress begins when one honestly acknowledges the presence of desires and strives to move beyond them.

Masterji concluded by urging sincere practice of **Chivality**, aspiring to reach the state of **Zero**, or **Nothingness**, where the individual merges with universal consciousness.
