Mahaprabhuji is endless joy

Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source.

"Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev."

"We are those birds. We want to fly away... Again, only in God can we come and rest."

The joy of the joyous is very short, but the suffering of the joyous is longer. Do you understand what I mean? Joys and sorrows are parallel, but the joy of the joyous is shorter than the sorrows of the joyous. The joy of happy people is shorter than the sadness of unhappy people. And in everything where we see joy, there must be other sorrows. The same quantity of sorrows is present. So if you are happy about something—to get something, to have something or someone—more than that, much is hidden in that unhappiness or suffering. An equal or even greater amount of suffering and unhappiness is concealed within it. But the joy of the joyous Supreme One is endless. The joy of the joyous, the beloved one, is endless. That’s God. Mahāprabhujī is incarnated for us. He is the liberator, the savior of our life. We understand Mahāprabhujī is incarnated. He is the liberator, the saviour of our lives. About all other holy incarnations, we can only read. But about Mahāprabhujī, we cannot only read, but we know those who have been experiencing with Him. We cannot only read about Mahāprabhujī, but we can also know people who have met him. Therefore, it is said: "Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev." Blessed are those parents who gave birth to such a Holy Incarnation, or such a Holy Incarnation has chosen them as the parents. And fortunate are they who are the brothers and sisters of that Holy Incarnation. And blessed are those who keep His name and Him in their hearts. In our holy book, Līlā Amṛt, you can read everything. Though we have that holy book, which we always read, why do we still have some problems? Because we only read. We don’t follow. Reading and following are two things. We are searching for different things. We are searching for happiness somewhere else. So this afternoon, I was meditating in deep yoga nidrā, and Mahāprabhujī came. He wrote me a message saying that the joy of the joys is little joy, but the sorrow of the joys of the joys is more. The joy of those who rejoice is still less than the grief that befalls them when those who usually rejoice become sorrowful. And he went away. He said, "Sleep well." He wished me good sleep and left. So this is the anniversary day of Śrī Mahāprabhujī. Today is Mahāprabhujī's anniversary. There is an Incarnation day, and there is a Samādhi Anniversary. Its light again dissolves into the light. For him or for them, there is no death. Death is for that soul which is bound or still stuck in karmas. So, can we imagine Mahāprabhujī’s 135 years of age? And still, he was healthy, movable, talking, walking. Everything. And we are who is 35 years already, feeling nearly like 100 years. I can talk only about myself. But whatever I got and I get is Mahāprabhujī’s divine grace. He can give you everything. No one can give what He can give. He can give you everything, but he can’t give you what he can give you. We need only confidence, that’s all. We need only trust, that’s all, without doubt. So I know without any doubt that Mahāprabhujī is God. If there is a God on this earth incarnated, then He is the Mahāprabhujī. It doesn’t matter when or what happens, I always turn to Him. There is a boat on the ocean, a ship, and on it is sitting one seagull, and the ship is in the middle of the ocean. Every direction is thousands of kilometers from the shore. She will want to fly away from that ship. But she can’t fly thousands of kilometers. That bird again comes back to this boat, to the ship. So we are those birds. We want to fly away and sit somewhere else. But there is no place to sit in the whole universe. Again, only in God can we come and rest. Again, it is Mahāprabhujī. We can have eternal peace. But you must have this devotion, this feeling, this faith. The joy which is in his name and the bliss, the divine bliss which is in his power, is nowhere in the universe. If you can realize this, you will be the richest of the rich. Luckiest of the luckiest ones. Then everything will be clear to you. Then you don’t need mokṣa, mukti, because mokṣa becomes your servant. So Mahāprabhujī gives everything.
