Purity in daily life

The soil of this land is sacred, and every child is divine. This body is a temple, and every person is a helper. Each child is an idol, a manifestation of the divine. All beings seek happiness; this universal principle is your true reality. Spirituality leads there through mantra, meditation, prayer, and satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, happiness and spiritual development are impossible. Impulses to avoid satsaṅg arise from past karmas awakening.

Spirituality means purity, happiness, forgiveness, clarity, and fearless action. Do not fear death. Human life is unique among 8.4 million life forms; humans are spiritual protectors. Do not declare yourself unhappy or unloved. Purify yourself through action, nourishment, good company, reading, meditation, mantra, prayer, and song. A spiritual family is built on harmony, not conflict; parents must love each other and raise children with great love. Spirituality resides at home in a tolerant, respectful family, not only in temples. Lead a life with pure thoughts and sattvic nourishment.

"Every creature wishes to attain happiness and to overcome unhappiness."

"Spirituality means pure thinking, pure thoughts, pure nourishment."

The soil of this country is sandalwood. Every village is the soil of this country. Every child is the idol of this country. Every child is the idol of this country. Every child is the idol of this country. Every child is the idol of this country. This body is like a temple; every human being is a helper. Where the lion has become a cow, where the cow is lovely. Where in the morning the sāmbā is played, the lullaby is sung in the evening. Each and every idol is a child of Lord Rāma. A child of Lord Rām, whose soldiers sing songs in the battlefield, where Sītā plays lightly in the field. Jīvan kā ādarś jahāṁ par, Parameśvar kā dhām hai. Har balā devī kī pratimā, bachchā bachchā Rām hai. Bachchā bachchā Rām. Kalyāṇī hai, tyāg aur tap kī gāthā hai, gati kavi kī vāṇī hai, gyān jahāṁ kī Gaṅgā jal sā, nirmal hai, abhirām hai. Har Bālā Dev Pratimā, Bachchā Bachchā Rām Hai, Bachchā Bachchā Rām. Candan Hai Is Deś Kī Māṭī, Tapo Bhūmi Har Grām Hai. Har Bālā Dev Pratimā, Bachchā Bachchā Rām Hai, Bachchā Bachchā Rām. Every creature is longing for happiness. Holy Gurujī, my master always used to say, every creature wishes to attain happiness and to overcome unhappiness. And because that happiness is a universal principle, that is your real reality, and so that is a spirituality which can lead you there through practicing your mantra, meditation, prayers, and coming to the satsaṅg. That is very, very important. If you can’t go to the satsaṅg, you cannot be happy. And you cannot develop your spirituality. That is, Mā Prabhujī’s bhajan you were singing before I came inside here. You must read about Mahāprabhujī in this little book, Līlā Amṛt, the holy Līlā Amṛt book written by my master. The biography of my grand master, who lived 135 years in Rajasthan, passed away in 1963. When you read this book, you will say, "My God, is there such a person still incarnating in the human body?" And that one said about satsaṅg. And if you think, "No, I don’t want to go to satsaṅg, and there are... what do I do? People are singing, and I am sitting here." It is not you who is saying this; you are not saying this. It is your karmas from past life awakening in you and trying to take you away, that wind from that tree, to blow you away. So spirituality means purity, happiness, forgiveness, clarity, clear action, clear thoughts, no fear, no fear at all. Don’t be afraid. Even if you die, okay, you just die, that’s all. Because one dies only once in life, you know, so don’t be afraid. You will die only once, and then you will have a beautiful view from above. All views, you know, oh, the world is another view. You come back again through this. Many, many process through the astral world. Again, you come to this beautiful world. Lord Kṛṣṇa said, "Then, through the moonlight, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar, that life." Our life is very much connected with the moon system. In this solar system in which we are existing, there are many, many systems, many processes. Our health is not depending only on our physical planet, this planet. Also, there are other planets which are influencing our health, our planet, our mind, the mind of the politicians, this war, and everything. Many planets are there, playing many roles, you know. And that is that. And through mantras, we can change certain influences of some planets. And that’s why every individual has another constellation according to their śikṣaṇ, their destiny, their karma, their luck or bad luck. Spirituality means pure thinking, pure thoughts, pure nourishment for a yogī. For us, it is very clear. One thing, for example, is that in a house you should have a pure atmosphere. When someone dies in the house, we remove the dead body because where the dead body is lying, then all this negative energy and many things come. But now in this Kali Yuga, what’s happening? People remove, yes, their family members when they die, the body is removed away. But they break the dead body of the animals, and the stores in there freeze. Don’t mind, please, if in your freezer there is a dead chicken or something. I don’t want to offend you, but I tell you that your life problems may be from death because you constantly have dead food there. A dead fish, a dead chicken, or dead things are not good to have there. Don’t touch that. So we don’t preserve only in the house the dead body, but we bite into that. Oh, that is not. So for human nourishment, that is anādevatā, anāpūrṇe, sadāpūrṇe, that is something very divine. So there are 8.4 million different creatures created by one creator, and they are divided into three categories: Jalcha, Thalcha, and Napcha. Creatures which are existing or living in the water, creatures which are living on the earth, and creatures which are living in the air. All together, they are different creatures, 8.4 million, and out of 8.4 million, one creature is the human. And this human is completely different than other creatures. Therefore, humans have free hands, free... And human is a spiritual, divine human. Humans are protectors, not destructors. Therefore, just dive within you and look, who are you? You are a great friend. Don’t say that you are unhappy. Don’t say you are lonely. Don’t say no one loves you. Oh, everyone loves you, but you don’t love yourself. If you say nobody loves you and you are alone, be happy you are alone, that you have time to meditate. Yes, then no bothering anymore. Because when you are together, then okay, one day, two days good, three days, five days, then it’s quarreling, you know. Many who are sitting here, tell them, ask them, how are you? Yes. Husband said this, wife said no. Husband said yes, and wife said no. And wife said no, husband said yes. Husband throws the door, wife throws the plates, and finished. These are the many things my disciple always informs me. This is this, and one should never beat the husband. And one should never beat the wife. That’s very important. If you are beating, it means you have no control over your emotion. It means you are still in the lower chakras, and you are on a lower planet. You are on a lower development, full of aggressive aggression in you, aggressivity, and that’s... Not good. So, man who raised the hand on wife, he has raised the hand on the entire universe, never. And the wife who raised this cooking spoon, big wooden one, on her husband, she has already raised the spoon on the whole universe too, it should not be. Why this happens? Why it comes? Because, innerly, you are not satisfied. Inside, there is a lot of impurities, and so purify through actions, through nourishment, through company, through readings, through... meditations, through mantras and through prayers. And through singing. Sing, husband and wife together at home, a nice song, a nice bhajan. Listen to that music which you like. Go for swimming. To be together, it means something; it’s not only physical love. This is something different. A man is a medicine; a human is a medicine for humans. But if you don’t like it, then it’s very good to be alone, that’s all. No more disturbances. If you understand, then it is very good to be together; otherwise, be alone. That’s all. But don’t torture yourself, that’s it. You are torturing. If you don’t like each other and there’s disharmony between the two of you, then the children are also suffering. So we love children, we should love children, we should grow the children with great love, and parents should never fight. Parents should never be angry. Parents should love each other in great harmony. That’s a spiritual family. That’s called a spiritual family. So the whole family can be very spiritual. So spirituality is not hidden only in the church, or in the temple, or in the mosque, or in the monastery, but spirituality can be at home, too, in a spiritual family. A very kind spiritual family. So make a spiritual family, and it will make the spiritual world. But not a narrow-thinking family. Then it becomes fanatic. And when the fanaticism is strengthened, then the family, society, and world are suffering. Therefore, tolerance in religion, respect for every culture, and understanding for every nation—that’s very important. That’s something about spirituality. So you are spiritual, you are highly developed, you have everything. Just change your way of thinking and lead a nourishing, good, vegetarian, sāttvic, balanced diet. Thank you. God bless you. Hari Om. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti.
