Oṁ Samādevakī, Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavānakī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavānakī, Deveśvar Madhevakī. Blessed self, sisters and brothers around the world and here, today is a very beautiful day. It is the fourth day after Dīpāvalī. This fourth moon night, and these fifteen nights from the new moon until the full moon, are very significant for the vegetation. In that part of the world where the crops are now ready, it is time for harvesting. In other parts where spring is beginning, it is very important for the new blossoms which are coming. God Kṛṣṇa tells, "Through the moonlight, I enter the vegetation as a nectar," as a very strong influence on our planet. It was always the moon which balances the human as well as the other creatures’ consciousness. That’s why the moon is constantly changing to keep the balance, which we call the Anuloma Viloma Prāṇāyāma technique. We inhale through the left nostril. Prāṇāyāma should always begin with the left nostril, because the left nostril is connected to our mind. Mānas devatā, the principle of the mind, is the moon. Mānas devatā is Chandra. And the Chandra principle is water, and that connects with our emotions and mental activities. Constantly, the moon is changing from the full moon to the dark, and from the dark amāvasyā to the full moon. Similarly, our mind and our feelings are constantly changing, as are our thoughts and so on. What you call "I" changes my mind. Therefore, one great saint said, "The mind is very restless, and the mind is a thief." Don’t act according to the mind. It is time, which is one and a half hours. And Palak is one second. Every second, every hour, every day, the mind is still changing. Man lobhī, man lalacī. Mind is greedy. Man lobhī. Man lalacī. That man has more and more desire, feeling tested to get the test out of it. Lālacha bala. Mana lobhī, mana lālachī. Or man chanchal, man chor. The mind is restless, and the mind is a thief. Man ke mate na chaliye. Don’t act according to your mind. Ghari palak man aur, therefore intellect and viveka is there to decide. Therefore, when we begin the prāṇāyāma, we go through the left nostril, and that connects to the moon, and the moon controls our emotions. And the moon, in order to control the emotion, disturbs the mind, not in a negative way. In a positive way, the moon doesn’t keep all at once. If you do, then you will have depression, you will have hallucination, you will have nervousness, and you will be what is called a dull person. So thanks to the moon principle that always awakens the mind. Like a driver who is driving, and the co-driver is sitting beside, always trying to talk to the driver, you know. Yeah, and you see, how was it that? And you always have to keep awake. Now, the modern scientist also gave one beautiful example: you have one needle standing, and this needle is iron. And there is a magnet which is going around the needle, so that it keeps the balance of the needle. And so, for this planet, the moon is like a magnet. It goes around to keep the balance, emotional and physical balance, on this planet. So the mind, the prāṇa, the prāṇayāms, the man lobhī, man lālacī, man cañcal, man cor, man ke māte na calye, gharipālak man aur. At the same time, God Kṛṣṇa said, "Arjuna, I am the Kapil Muni, Siddhānāṁ Kapil Muni, Siddhānāṁ Kapil. All the Siddhas who were in this world, the greatest Siddha was Kapil, Bhagavān Kapil Muni." So Kṛṣṇa said, compared to all the siddhas, I am the Kapila, I am the Airāvata, that ten, eight, eight-trunked elephant, or seven, seven-trunked elephant, Saptadhātu, and Uccaiḥśravas horse. These are the 14 Ratnas, which means the 14 kinds of qualities that came out of the churning of the ocean. And the ocean was not churned just for two or three days. It’s not that every day something came out. No. Many, many yugas, ages and ages, the Devas and the Rākṣasas were tired. But they couldn’t give up because they wanted to have the Amṛt. Definitely, that’s called a kṣīra-sāgara, the ocean of the nectar. They call it the milk ocean, churning the milk ocean. Now, in our body, all the liquid is the kṣīr-sāgara. And our breath is that which is churning, or like a driller which goes. Oh Prabhu, Mahāprabhujī, my inhalation and exhalation, all is yours. My name, my breath, not a single breath should go empty without thy name, oh my lord. But clarity must be there. At the same time, Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī said in a bhajan, "Kapata kī bhakti prabhu nahīṃ māne." A tricky, selfish, or doubtful devotion God does not like. One day you will fail. "Sachāyī rachāyī madana gopāla." With that honesty, with that truth in your devotion, then Krishna is happy. So this moon, these days, are very, very important. Not only for vegetation and fruits or new beginnings, but also for human spirituality. Mera Jeevan Terī Pūjā, O Lord, my life is a ceremony to Thee. My life is a worship to Thee. Human understands, and human leads that spiritual life. Otherwise, khānā, pīnā, bhogānā, paśubhī, param sujan, eating, sleeping, creating children—animals can also do. And one Mahatma said, "Even the animals and birds and all, they remember the name of God, morning and evening." So this was a very beautiful, today’s beautiful day. I wish you a very good day. The information, the knowledge is endless. You see, there is one picture of the God of wisdom, Saraswati. Goddess Sarasvatī is the Lord of wisdom and sees the students as long as they are studying. And so we have in every school the picture or the statues or names of Goddess Sarasvatī. It is not a religion, but it is that principle of how the knowledge comes in us. According to the science of kuṇḍalinī and cakras, you see the Sarasvatī and Brahmā. Saraswati is born from Brahma, and also Saraswati is a devotee of Brahma. It is difficult to understand. So that our buddhi, intellect, is the Brahmā. And that information which is in us, that is born in our intellect, that is Saraswatī. And with this intellect, we act to bring the message of the Brahmā to others. So, different occasions, the different phases, like a full moon and the amāvasyā, Pūrṇimā and amāvasyā are completely opposite. Last two days, we were 36 hours on the road. I was, you were a little less, but more or less we were the same distance, 36 hours. And in 48 hours, 48 hours, Dr. Shanti, don’t look like making Trāṭak. It is true. Now you can find out how many hours we had a rest. Five hours from that I had programs and satsaṅgs and programs with the people. So five and five, ten. Thirty-six and ten, forty-six. And now, how much is sleeping? In two days left? Two hours. That’s called a Seva. Therefore, "Mera Jīvan Terī Pūjā," my Lord, my life is a worship to Thee. That is called Svaso Svas. Tumārā Sumanan. That is that. Therefore, in each and every atom of your body, there is a vibration of that divine energy, and it is very beautiful to be the servant of God, the divine, to bring the divine message, to produce that divine energy through thy being here in this planet, world, or on this planet. Yes, so therefore. Wisdom, the knowledge, has no end. So, there are two, three very beautiful events or information, very interesting, and I was thinking I will share with you. Should I share with you? They said no. They said yes. Okay. This morpheus, you can take. It is a sadness or happiness. The life has two sides: the shadow side and the sunny side. This life is like at the bank of the river. Both banks of the river, one river, one bank is one side, the side of the happiness. Or pleasure or good, but the other side is unhappiness. Both are going together. Where the curve takes that side, the bank of the river becomes a little lighter, is happy, but where the pressure goes, that side is more cutting. The bank is so, but it is said the river has a curve, not the water. Situations in life are like that, but the ātmā, if you are a servant of God, then it is not that you think it will be. In Khattu Gurujī’s veranda, one chart is hanging, somewhat you call a part, a cloth, where written one śloka of the Bhagavad Gītā, and very nicely explained what happened was good and what’s... What is happening is good, and what will happen is good. What was, was not yours. What you got is yours, but when you lose it, it is not yours. So it means it was not yours. You got it, it is not yours, and tomorrow it will be someone’s. Yesterday it was someone’s, today it is yours. You got it, but tomorrow will be someone else’s. Arjuna, why are you sad? Why are you crying? You are this body, you are these relations, you are this property. It is given to you for a moment. That’s all. But, of course, we are also, I hope, normal human beings. We are just normal humans, and we can’t renounce. We speak and listen about renunciation, but it is not easy, so it is a story about sadness. The parents, Gurujī, knows him, I know him, this family. In their family, how they were: they are three daughters and one brother, and from childhood. The brother used to say to the parents, "Don’t create attachment. I’m not yours, and you are not mine." But I adore you. I touch your holy feet, my father and mother, because you gave me birth. That’s all. For parents, it was not easy to understand. When they made something, he said, "What are you doing this? It will not be with you. One day, it will remain here." When he was 13 years old, they made his birthday celebration. He was 13 years old, and he cried. He cried. So father asked, "What happened to you, my son?" He said, "Father, with this celebration of my birthday, I lost one year of my life." I lost one year in my life. Please don’t celebrate my birthdays. Who will understand when your child is talking like this? So they respected him. He was a brilliant student. Always, he had above 95 or 98 numbers. And you have? How much? Yes, it means something is wrong. He used to meditate two hours in his room, and he told, "Please, nobody should disturb me." He had no telephone, no mobile. And he told his father, "In one place in America, in my last life I was there, and now I have come here." Father forgot the name, but I thought maybe somewhere odd, so he will see. At the age of 22, he finished his MBA. He got the diploma, and he came home, and he gave the diploma to his father. He said, "Father, just for your contentment, that your son has a diploma, it’s here, but it will not be useful for you." Unfortunately, he got diabetes and something else, so he was in a coma. Or some, I don’t know, I didn’t ask him, and they took him to the hospital, and they referred him to Jaipur. He was nearly one, forty minutes, or one hour dead. Again he walked and said to the father, "Don’t take me to Jaipur. Why do you give all these chemical injections in my body? I’m not here anymore." And in the hospital, the doctor said, "Yes, he’s breathing, but the brain is dead. He died." When I heard this, I went to pay my condolences and bless the family. So his father told me these stories, so there is something in all of you. All you know, but you don’t want to know that you know. All you are afraid to know. Because our attachment is so strong, tapasyā is not there. And we all know that one day we will go; everything will remain as it is. The case in which this bird, the bird of the soul, which is inside, in this case, Kāvīk, is getting day by day old. And one day you will fly out; you will be rotten. This was a beautiful and painful experience. Because the three sisters were crying a lot, because only one brother was, and parents and mother. So I told, look, your son didn’t die. He changed, and he came in me as your son. So see me as your son. And they all were, you know, they got some hope inside. But father, try to understand, but it is not easy to understand. Blood is thicker than... Water, and that is our moha. It is very hard and very easy to say, to Kabīr Dās. Mohatum, hari bhajan ko māri bhajan ko nayan diya darśan karne āth die kardānare śravaṇadye sunnagyānare hari bhajan ko mānāre tu hari bhajan ko mānāre Haribhajanako manāre matkar Haribhajanako manāre Haribhajanako manāre. Nadiyā gaṇathadhīye karda, Athadhīye karda re Hari bhajan ko mānare tu, Hari bhajan ko mānare tu... Kar moha tum Hari bhajan ko māṁ, kaṁsha nani pājata-khānare Hari bhajan ko māṁare. Tum Hari bhajan ko mahanare, kar mo hato, mat kar mo hato Hari bhajan ko mahanare, Hari bhajan ko mahanare. So, we humans are also animals of feelings. And we are very attached to those feelings. Though we know, we can’t give up. There is one old, very nice song: "Pinjare kā panchī re, pinjare kā panchī re, terā dard na jāne koī." O bird of the case, in this case, terā darad na jāne koī, nobody knows your pain. I will write the text of this, and then I will explain to you the whole bhajan or song. It is a beautiful song, very beautiful. A person who is singing has a very good voice and is very, very nice. And so we are pinjare kā pānsī. Pānsī means the bird. Pinjara is that case in which the bird is closed. Terā dharad na jāne ko. Man hi man rota hai. Inside, you are crying in your mind. Only the key is that viveka, the knowledge, that can free this bird to fly to the Brahman. Yes, then the second event, which I had this morning, as I left at 7:30 from Khattu, Śrībhāg Āśram, and at 8 o’clock I had some visit to somewhere, some of my disciples, he had an accident, fell down, he is about the age of 60, and he was sitting. Behind on motorcycle, and there were two, and the third one, the young one, was driving. And on the curve, the motorcycle slipped, no? Slipped. And he had a big injury. Luckily, only the skin and flesh. So I went to see him and wish him good health and recovery, and so on. In that village, there was an evening satsaṅg somewhere on the occasion of some Swāmījī’s anniversary. There were a few hundred people, and someone told me that they had heard my name, that I am in Khattu. And they would like to invite, we should invite Swāmījī. And then many said, "No, I think we don’t dare to invite." We don’t know what all formality and this and that. I said, no any formality. Formality, I am simple. Maa Prabhujī, Holy Gurujī said, "Lagutā se Prabhutā mele, Prabhutā se Prabhutā dūr." I have translated many times the competition between the elephant and who will take the corn of sugar. I told you many times, I will not repeat. So I came, and so many people—it was morning after the prasāda—they left. So many people heard that I am in the same village. A few houses away, so many came, so one man came to me also. And he asked me, "What is the Gurujī of Mā Prabhujī?" So I said, "Devapurījī." And he said, "Swāmījī, you don’t know." Only those who saw and who know are those who were Devapurījī. I said, "What do you mean?" And he told me a few stories. So I invited him on Holy Gurujī’s anniversary on the 2nd, and I told him that he should speak in front of the camera. Good idea? Because everyone thinks that because he is your Gurujī, you will always glorify him, no? Who will be the stupid one who will talk bad about his Guru? So everyone talks highly, good about Guru, his Guru. But there are some people who think, "We are not so stupid as to accept what you are talking about your Guru." This is the conflict in the world. So when one will hear from the third or the fourth person, one will think, "So there were a few stories he told. I will tell you only one story or two." The first story he told was that he came to that village near there, Devpurījī, long ago. It is a story from his father, and this man is about 75 or something like this, and his father’s grandfather was a witness of it. They came and they were sitting, three or four farmers, in their field in their farmhouse, you know. You saw around the two houses, four houses, two houses like this. And they had one goat. So Devpurījī came, and Devpurījī, you know, he has his bala. So he took the goat and then he dug a big hole in the desert, sandy. And he put the goat inside, and he put all the earth on it. And they didn’t dare to say anything, and he went to their house, was sitting there, and said, "Thirsty, bring water," drinking and so on. And they all came, so one of them said, "Swāmījī, what have you done with the goat? The poor goat maybe died." He said, "No, no..." She was so hot, and she wanted to have a bath. She said, "But it’s not a monsoon, there’s no water." What is about 200 meters deep? He said, "No, no, she has a good bathtub, dry sand, nothing." So he told them, "Honor of this, okay, bring her." It is too long. She’s in the water. He went and he took the earth away. What he sees, the goat is sitting in the water. Sandy, completely, sand was dry. And he removed about, let’s say, 50 kilos or 100 kilos of sand away. The goat is just enjoying and looking. And sitting in, like, in the bathtub. Now people will think, "Hallucination, hmm, that’s kind of unruly." They are so blurred in. We often eat that is the only sender there. We’re talking, I, ah, sign highly, but they said it was, and you know how serious these people. Are telling, and then he said that he moved further, and in other farm’s house they had a few sheep, and one was a beautiful black sheep, and he said, "Give me this sheep, I like it, it is very beautiful." And the farmer said, "No, Gurujī, this is so beautiful, and I have all, this is one black sheep, and I would like to have it." Black wool, you can take any other, they are all the same. He said, "No, I won’t have this black one." They said, "No, Gurudev." So he said, "Oh, you don’t want to give me? Okay, no problem." He went, Devrījī went away near the house where Mahāprabhujī was born some kilometers away, and there should be evening satsaṅg. What happened after Devpurījī left? In two hours, one wolf came and took away the goat. At that time, there were more jungles, more wild bushes, and all kinds of animals were there. And they took it away, run maybe somewhere, finished. And evening, this family, they went to satsaṅg for Devapurījī’s satsaṅg. And when they came, they saw the animal took it, the goat was more or less new, died. But when they came, same beautiful goat. I was sitting near Devapurījī. They were looking, and they would say, "This is not a beautiful." Also, they said, "Yes, very beautiful. Would you like to take this one?" I said, "Yes." Then, "If it is, don’t you think it is yours? The same it seems like that." Then, call her name. Or this, she will come if it is that one, and it went with them, so we can’t do anything. Even we can’t call a mosquito; only we can call the mosquitoes to us, that’s all. So it is, the world is... what I want to tell is, the world is full of... Miracles there are, and you are miracles. You have this, just look within. Try a little bit, create the faith, that’s it. So I wish you all the best. This was my two days out of many other experiences. There were many beautiful events. But I will tell next time. I wish you a very good evening, and now I have to go to one satsaṅg somewhere, which will also be two, three hours of sitting and listening and talking. See you then tomorrow. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī, Mādhava Kṛṣṇa. Bhagavān Kī, Sanātana Dharma Kī, Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti.
