Sve može dati dhavalāc, Sve može dati dhavalāc. Dīpa Dayāla, the Merciful One, Dīpa Dayāla, the Merciful One, Mahāprabhujī, Mahāprabhujī. To give is something very powerful. And giving is not easy. Giving makes you great. Giving gives you holy sand. Giving makes you the merciful one. On the other hand, what does it mean, giving? Also, giving can make you the most miserable person in this world. Giving can give you a lot of pain. Giving can destroy all your beautiful work. Giving can destroy all your friendly relations. And the giving can bring you into the prison of rebirth and death for a long, long period. Giving can make you a loser. Therefore, the word "giving" has great meaning. But the giver should know what is being given. If you give someone trouble, then you are in trouble. In two days, we will celebrate the day of non-violence. Gandhijī tried to follow non-violence. And non-violence is the main point of yoga. What we call Rāja Yoga. Rāja Yoga has 18 steps. Not only is it wrong to say Aṣṭāṅga Yoga, it is 18. And that 18th chapter of the Rāja Yoga is completely described in one book, the Bhagavad Gītā. And so in yama and niyama, which have the ten steps, and then comes āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, samādhi, and so on. Ahiṃsā, non-violence. Ahiṃsā paramo dharma: the highest principle is non-violence. Dharma has two meanings. Generally, one understands Dharma as a religion. But Dharma means the principle. Dharma means obligation. Dharma means duty. Dharma rakṣitaḥ rakṣitāḥ. If you protect Dharma, Dharma will protect you. Your dharma is to be friendly. If you are friendly, then this, your friendliness will reflect back to you and will protect you. If you go against your friendliness, if you go against your friendliness, you go beyond your border, which means you go to the negative heart, ego, jealousy; then it reflects back on you, that you are not a kind person, you are a bad person. You may think you are not bad, but the action was done by you. Doesn’t matter how good you are, but in that minute, you lost your dharma. You acted against your dharma. And therefore, dharma brought you back the fruits. Non-violence: Do not cause pain to anyone. Any kind of pain—physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain, intellectual pain, social pain, and so on. There are many, many different kinds of pain which you can cause, and that means every thought which you think, which is painful to others, may be for you. The pleasure, our pleasure-ness, is the way to the destruction. Our pleasure-ness is the way to our complete destruction, and that’s why it is said in Rāja Yoga: tapasyā, austerity, pokorā, to endure, to endure the pain, to endure the insult, to endure the... Cold and heat, titikṣā, the word titikṣā from Dhyāna Yoga, and titikṣā means to stand above. It is not easy, but you need willpower, but you lost your willpower, and that second the negative thought appears in your mind towards others. The sin, what we call, is not only physical sin, but there are many, many different kinds of sin. Who are you? Or who am I? To judge someone, do I understand someone’s position? Do I understand someone’s pain? Do I understand someone’s feeling? If that one will be sad, or that one is ill, or that one has some reason, but you don’t know. Simply, you try to see the mistakes, but that mistake is within you. No one is bad; finally, our self is bad. Therefore, giving pain means violence. That means, not an ahiṃsā. Any kind of violence you do, Prakṛti, the nature will come back to you. It’s not easy, my dear. You have a white dress, completely white, and white shoes. White gloves, white cap, and white dress. Now you had to walk five kilometers through the coal mine. And you had to come out of the coal mine completely white. Nowhere should there be a black spot. Walk very carefully, but it can happen some dust falls on you. This is a coal mine, the saṃsāra, this world. Everywhere is black coal, black dust: the mental pollution of the humans, the greed of the humans, the anger of the humans, the pride of the humans, the jealousy of the human, the doubts of the human, the conflict. Of the human desire, of the human all negativity, the human made this planet unbearable for other creatures too. Very rare one who can come as it is. Like Kabīr Dājī said in his bhajana, very beautifully, these are the guru-vākyas, these are the teaching of the masters, doesn’t matter which religion, the religious feeling destroyed the human. We belong to one religion only. That’s called humanity, and we are only one. Not what we call this, or this, or that. Not like Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and so on. We are human. We are born as a human, and we die as a human. We live as humans. We are known as humans. So that’s why we are human, and our religion is humanity. We believe in God. We should not have the territory divided in our brain. On the map of God, on the map of the Creator, there is no Slovenia and Croatia, there is no Serbia, and there is no Bosnia, there is no India and no Europe. It is one planet, Mother Earth, that’s it. On the day when in your brain the oneness will awake, my birth, my birth... My birth, my world, my motherland, all are mine. Then you are the holy, talking about one thing and saying others are bad: our religion is best, our philosophy is best, our politics is best. You are not a holy one, but you are that one who is confused, who has a clear mind, clear thoughts. It’s not easy to walk through the cold mines. Very rare are those who can come through. So the border of Slovenia and Croatia, the border of Italy and Germany, Italy, the border of France and Spain, and so on. It has been borderline on the human mind, not anywhere else. So, who are you? It is somehow we divided: I am Indian. What does it mean, I am Indian? Nothing. Nothing, but I am the human on this planet. Oneness. This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition. Giving. Giving which makes you great. Giving which makes you holy, giving makes you free. Give your understanding. Understanding of their situation. Do you understand someone’s situation? It is very easy for you to say no. Very easy for you to say that’s terrible. Give like you give your finger to a small child to walk. How happy you are, how much love goes from you, this gentle hand of this small child, and you know how that small one feels, the support, the protection, only giving, while this small one’s finger, that’s giving. Without expectation, you give your hand to someone who can’t walk, a crippled person. Give a hungry one something to eat; it doesn’t matter if it’s an animal or a human. That’s why I say, feed them, love them, don’t eat them. But you feed them, you keep them; that is love. But when they are big, you kill them and eat them; that is not love. That is not a human dharma. Thou shalt not kill. So you should become a model of dharma. Dharmamūrti, you are a dharmamūrti, you are a model or embodiment of the dharma, Dharmapurī, so you should be the city of the dharma, but you can become a karmapurī, but good purī, good karma. When the doctor gives an injection to someone who has a very big pain, a very strong pain, a... The doctor gives you a painkiller. It doesn’t matter what you think, whether it’s a chemical or whatever it is, but you are released from that pain. It doesn’t matter what you think about the doctor, but this action that the doctor did now will have a very, very good fruit from that. He gave you what? Injection, medicine, remedy. Similarly, there is a remedy for your pain in the heart: a kind word. Unhappy person. Desperate person. A fearful person. They need your kind words. That’s it. Your kind word is hugging someone. And your hug can save the person’s life. Therefore, giving can make you great, or giving can make you the most miserable one. Depends on what you are giving. Give the nectar, don’t give the poison. Give the hand, don’t give the bullet. Give the love, don’t give the hate. Give the understanding, don’t give the criticism. It comes to you because our behavior, if it causes someone pain or trouble, you will get it back a thousand times. That is the law of karma, whether you believe it or not. Because you put one seed in the ground. It is a seed, one seed of one cherry tree. Now, you will get, in due time, millions of cherries. One seed gives millions of seeds. Similarly, one thought, one action—a good one will give you millions of times good things, and a bad thing will give you millions of times bad things. That’s why that one becomes either great or destroyed, miserable. When you don’t know what to do, then don’t act. That’s very important. Similarly, the parents give education to the children. Of course, parents will tell you, don’t go there, don’t do this. And you think my parents are dominating? My parents are strict. And suddenly in your mind, thoughts come: "How terrible are my parents." You don’t forget them, and you are waiting to become grown. Twenty-five years. Until twenty-five years, you are a child. But for parents, even if you are 125 years old, for your father, you are still a child. But until 25 years, we say, still the mother’s milk hasn’t dried on your lips. You are a milk baby, and parents will still instruct you what to do. But the problem is this: you don’t understand. So that education which you give, maybe the child doesn’t understand. And the child has lifelong problems that you do not question. Then the last word was my parents. What they said was right. And still I am suffering. Twenty-five years, my parents are gone. But still you are suffering, and you think you will go to some therapy? That therapy will confuse you more. You will remember many more things. Therefore, understand, you were innocent once. You did not know. You could have made a big mistake. So be thankful, though it was hard, but be thankful that your parents protected you. And they were strict. We know when we are little, we know, I was also thinking, oh God, my parents. I was always asking my mother, "When is father going to some other village?" She said, "Why?" I said, "Because I can go to play." Evening, we like to go and play, and when the father was at home, we had to be right on time at home, sit, and learn. So, I was always praying, "God, let my father go somewhere for ten days." That’s the reality, I can tell you. But now I know what he meant. He protected us, so he gave us education. Sometimes we misunderstand education. Of course, mostly, education is best when it’s through love. But maybe that love spoils you. Sometimes someone has such a nature that love is too gentle. So there is an example. Here is a piece of iron, and I want to bend it. I cannot, so I will put it in the fire. Until this ego of hardness melts. Then I take it out of the fire, and in order to bend it, I will take a hammer and beat it until that ego comes back, becomes cold. Again I put it in the fire, again it will become hot. You can only bend the iron when it is hot. As long as it is hot, you can form it with a hammer. So the strictness of the parents and the master is a fire. And the words of the master and parents are like a hammer. But suddenly you became such a nice piece of iron. Which is standing in front of the Master, very carefully, everybody is bringing and putting here, and even the Master is looking, oh, that’s the Master’s work. So, people will say, "Whose child is this?" Oh God! Who were the parents of this child? Or, they say, "Oh, whose child is this one?" First of all, we thank their parents. The father and mother have such a great child like all of you. That’s it. Therefore, giving has many forms. Give love. Give understanding. Give strictness, but with love. That’s it. So when I was giving a lecture on giving, the next day one lady came to me. She said, "I was angry with my husband, and I gave him a slap." But immediately I said, "But I love you," so he forgave me. I understood. Two kinds of giving. If I wouldn’t be quick enough to say, but with love. If I had not said this, instead of one, I would get back five. Multiplying. That’s it. So, this problem that is written here, take it out of your thoughts. Even if it was strict, forgive it. It’s gone. Noontime was a thunderstorm, but now it’s a clear sky. It’s gone. Be great in your heart. A holy saint is one who is never angry with anyone, who understands everyone’s situation, who understands another’s position. Everyone is angry: "My God, I didn’t get that room," "The eating was not at the right time." I paid money, why can I not be there? Take your money in your pocket and go home, and next time organize yourself such a seminar, then you will know what it means. So don’t give such a judgment, give thankfulness. How thankful we are that someone organizes. All who did this seminar organization, they are... Not paid one kuna, I will be happy if they get two kuna. And if you give them four kuna, I will give them eight kunas. And then it becomes many guṇas. Guṇa means multiplying. And the coachman is beating the horse to run quickly. No one understands. Even the owner of the horse cannot understand his pain, his tiredness. What to do? That horse is thinking, "God, give me some other life next time." Mera dard na jāne koī. Mera dard na jāne koī. Mīrā Bāī said. Mera dard na jāne koī. Nobody knows my pain. No doctors. Nikakvī doktorī. No professors. No professors. No pandits. No pandits. No scholars. No one understands my pain. Out of my pain, I am becoming yellow like a leaf of the autumn. No one understands me, and no one can heal my pain. O Krishna, O Lord! Only my illness can be healed. When you come to me as a doctor. A human can heal you. We need that human love. That’s it. And humans are capable of giving, so give good things: forgiveness. Give rights. Give place. Give food. Give a hand. If you cannot dry the tears, if you can’t dry your tears, don’t become the cause of tears. That means ahiṃsā paramo dharma, non-violence is the highest principle. Saba Kusa Deve, Dātā Dīpa Dayā. Therefore, Merciful Mahāprabhujī can give us everything. So when we make a mistake out of emotion or out of ignorance, we can say sorry. There was one man from Maribor who told me a story. Long ago, about 28 years ago, he told me a story. And he said, "My grandmother had her own way to teach us something." I said, "What?" He said, "I stole the mice from the neighbor’s garden." And I came and gave it to my grandmother, and she was happy. And she asked me, "My child, from where did you get this?" So he said, "I went to the neighbor’s garden." And I took this good corn, and what did they say? They didn’t see me; I went far from here. She said, "Aha, okay." Happened, it happened. Take this, my corn back. And go to them and say, "Sorry, I stole your corn," and give it back. Now, of course. To stand in front of someone as a guilty one, that is hard work. To go and just steal it, it’s not hard work. But to go and stand there as a guilty one and say, "I’m sorry," there your ego goes under the ocean. Tamo vaše ego dolazi na dno oceana, u patal loku, vaše ego, a kako se vi osjecate, very empty like this paper, but empty means very clear, all black spots are gone. Therefore, it can happen that out of our ignorance, selfishness, greed, we make a mistake. But we should correct it quickly. Don’t cause anyone any kind of trouble. Any kind of trouble, and if you do, that is a hint. So, you have not even passed the first step of yoga. Still, you have 17 steps. That’s why to be a yogī is not so easy. To teach yoga does not mean one is a yogī. You have to become a yogī to teach the yoga. Many things you have to understand. And to be a yogī, you cannot only attest to one. You have to be in the heart of all. Live in the heart of all. It’s not easy. That’s it. So, Sabkūs Deve Dātā Dīp Dayā. Giving makes you great, and giving makes you miserable.
