Self-awareness, the elements and symbolic language

Guruji describes the spirit as a connection beyond time. Self-awareness and recognising the elements are discussed as the beginning of communication with them. Understanding comes before going beyond something; the body and its elements are used as examples. Yajna is also discussed as figurative language: life as an offering.

[Opening word uncertain: when/you should] become aware of yourself. Every element has its own [consciousness?] and a different way of behaving, and you will recognise each of it. Only after you have recognised each element which is combined in your body—the body is a combination of them—that is the start of the communication process. [Final brief words unclear.]

You need to be smart enough to be able to communicate with them. Otherwise what will you talk? [Next sentence uncertain: what you do not understand, how can you go beyond it?] You need to understand exactly what I am saying. Then you can go beyond. [Question:] What about the physical level? Can you balance the elements? [Response:] If you ever balance [them], you will [unclear].

[Question about stories and beings/names; the names and most wording are unclear.] No, no, they are [planets? word uncertain]. [Rest of answer unclear.]

[Opening exchange unclear.] Yes, we read this story, but we are talking about your control, to be able to control it. [A following phrase about an element is unclear.]

11
Speaker unverified

That I have never seen anyone so far. [Question involving an uncertain term and yajna.] No, no, yajna is an expression. [A few words unclear.] We also say life is a yajna and we are the offerings in it. [Brief words unclear.] It is a way of expression, language.
