When we have a clean heart and understand how the law of 'action' truly works, we have the best chance of enjoying the game of life, and all the consequences we bring back to ourselves. As a whole we can see the consequences of these on our dear planet and why people and governments across the globe are now seeking to address the need to change our habits and actions so the earth and humanity can flourish again.
 
Let us explore how in any situation we need to stop justifying our negative emotions as right or necessary, and how nothing and nobody is to be blamed.
 
Brother Shantanu will explain how this journey starts within each individual and how it is the time to strengthen our inner being so we can align our actions with our original benevolence.
