Śāntī Jī Mahārāj Kī Jai. Where are you going? Sit down. You have to listen to the satsaṅg. When I got married, I said to my wife that I am going to Mādhāvalā. I said to my wife, "I have to go to Mādhāvalā." For the sake of others, there is a sense of guilt. I said, "I have to go to Mādhāvalā. Bihavrā Gīt, three minutes left." Keen sabhā mein hai? Gyānī Sikh wale Sikh wali hota hai. I am Prajāvanśī Devī, and I say, "Go to the temple, Hari Om." With blessings, Mother says, "Go and take a photo, go to the satsaṅg." Do not go to Ankal, go to Kākājī. Today, I didn’t get anything; tomorrow, I will get it. I don’t have anything. When I come back, I will speak in English. I don’t believe it. When I come back, I will speak in Marwadi. When I come back, I will say, "No." I don’t know why I didn’t come today. Good evening, dear sisters and brothers in this hall and around the world. Welcome. The blessing is coming to you from Holy Bhārat, Jādan, Rājasthān, India, Bhārat. Dear spiritual seekers, life is given to serve, to meditate, to love, and to realize. The great saint Swamījī Śivānandajī of Ṛṣikeśa, his slogan was this: Love, serve, meditate, and realize. Rare is the human life; fortunate are those who have attained human life. But it means not that we all behave with other creatures negatively. No discrimination towards any creature, nor towards the vegetation, nor towards the lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans. If we do this, to neglect and discriminate, we lose our spiritual game. The game is the achievement of Brahman, to come out of that painful and suffering game of rebirth, the cycle of birth and death in 8.4 million different creatures, the cycle of birth and death. The only way is to come out through using, awakening, realizing, and utilizing the human qualities. For that we need great blessings, we need great guidance, and we need a safety shelter at the lotus feet of the Gurudev, like Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. Therefore, our beloved Gurudev, Holy Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī said: Śrī Pūjā Dīp Dayālu Dātā, Lākhoṁ Praṇām Śrī. Śrī means wealth, the spiritual wealth. Never say that you are poor. You are not poor. You are only poor because of your laziness, and you don’t want to work. Nowadays in India, what do they call BP, or what do they say? BP, L. BP, L. BP is a company of the petrol. You know the BP petrol pump? Good. I mean, I am not making an advertisement, but I just say it is good, it is good petrol. Below poverty level, the people who are below poverty level, and we should support them. The question is, why? Yes, if one is disabled physically, mentally, or old, and no one is there to support them, okay. But such ideas made the humans more lazy. One is poor because one does not want to work. There is enough work. All humans have ego. "Oh, I am a doctor, I cannot work in the field." Why not? The doctor has the same stomach, and the farmer has the same stomach. But this is a psychological conflict within oneself: "I am this, I will not work on this." I asked one of our āśram workers here, "Now your duty, after this, is to be the gate man." And he came to me and said, "Swāmījī, what is offending for me? What will people say? I am just the gate man, why not?" Who is the gate man? It is a great sense to let you into the Brahmaloka, Guruvākya. So as long as humans will not renounce the laziness and ego of the profession and the ego of the position, they will go empty-handed as they came. Śrī, Śrī means prosperity, Śrī means wisdom, Śrī means luck, Śrī means Lakṣmī, Śrī means the ash of the fire, and Śrī means beauty. And that’s why in India, before that name, we write Śrī. Then we write Lab and Sub. Lab means benefit. Sub means pleasure. Good. So even before Gaṇeśa, because Gaṇeśa is the first which has to be remembered for all your successful work, Śrī Gaṇeśa. So what do we say first? Śrī Gaṇeśa. Jai Gaṇeśa, Jai Gaṇeśa, Jai Gaṇeśa Deva, Māta Jiski Pārvatī Pitā Mahādeva. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Deva, Māta Jānakī Pārvatī Pitā Mahādeva. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Deva, Māta Jānakī Pārvatī. Always first remember Gaṇeśa. Gaṇ it, Īś. Gaṇ means all principles, all elements, all goddesses, everything. And Īś means Īśvara, the Lord, the Lord of the entire universal functions. When Gaṇeśa sleeps, all will be paralyzed. And you know Gaṇeśa is the most beautiful one. Doesn’t matter how you decorate, he is always beautiful, very beautiful. And his smile is so good. Anyhow, Śrī, so Śrī Pūjya, Pūjya means adorable. Whom we adore, whom we worship, whom we celebrate, and that is why we call the universally worshipped Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. Dayāl, Merciful, Merciful, God of the meek, God of the poor, Helper. Śrī Pūjā Dīp, Dīp is the light, the universal light. Light has many forms: Gyān Jyoti, the light of wisdom, the Gyān. With this physical eye, we cannot see that light. But Gyān to Gyān hī hai. It is said in one poem: "Aur Gyān so Gyānārī, Gyān hai so Ātmā Gyān." All knowledge is good; it is knowledge. But the real knowledge is called ātmā jñāna, the self-realization: know thyself. Not that your body, mind, ego, jealousy, hate, and this and that, but so’haṁ, light. It is that light which will guide us. Don’t think that when you meditate, you will see this light and then you will die, and you see, "Oh, light is coming, everywhere light." Yes, light is all right, but which light? Don’t fight for that light which you want to see in the night of darkness, of ignorance. That light is called the light of wisdom when the day is dreary, foggy, dark, and the way is hard to find. Do not let your heart be worried. Just keep one thought in the mind: it is better to light a candle than to stand in the dark. Which thought? God. That name of God, your mantra. Jab jab man ghabrāye tum prathānā karo, Jab rāha nazar na āye tum prathānā karo, Whenever you feel scared, pray. When you don’t see the way out, pray. And that prayer is that light, deep. Deep Jyoti Parabrahma Deepam Sarve Mohanam Deepanam Sajjate Sarvam Sandhya Deepam Sarav Satyam Subham Karoti Kalyanam Aarogyam Dhan Sampada Shatru Buddhi Vinashaya Deep Jyotir Namastu Śrī Pūjā Dīp Dayālu, the Merciful One. O Merciful Lord, Lākhoṁ Praṇām, millions and millions salutations, adorations. Śrī Pūjya Dīp Dayālu Dātā, lākon parṇām caraṇ meṁ, lākon hāṁ bigaṛī banāne vāle, hāṁ bigaṛī banāne vāle, lākhoṁ praṇām caraṇ meṁ. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī datā, not this computer data, okay? Always, when I am talking about data, I say data, computer data. That is data, and this is data. Data and data are different. For Indians, the year is different; for you, the year is the same. Data is a giver who is giving. Tulsi Dājī said, "Tulsī, kar par kar, kar par kar, kar na kar, taḍin par kar, kar taḍin maran kar." Tulsi Dājī said, "Tulsī, kar par kar, kar par kar, na kar, taḍin par kar, kar taḍin maran kar." That’s it. Very good. All is clear? Very clear. Good. I am very proud of you for knowing that. Tulsi Rājī said, "Tulsi Kar Par Kar Kar." If anyone asks you for something, put your hand up. It means give something. Give. Data can give. A beggar cannot give. But if you have something, you can give. If your pocket is empty, you cannot give. So, Tulsī, the Hājī said, "Kar, dusre ke hāth," and others’ hands, "kar par, kar kar," put your hand above. Par kar kar na kar, don’t put your hands down like a beggar. Ta din par kar kar, jis din tu bhikṣā māṅgne ko chale jāte ho, ta din maraṇ kar, that is like a death. So one saint said, "Mar jao par māṅgu nahī, apne tan ke kāj," even I will die, but I will not beg for my benefit or my body. But asking for social work, asking for the well-being of the planet, for others, I don’t feel ashamed. Māṅgana maraṇa samāna hai, otherwise begging is like a death. You have to pull your ego completely under the footstool when you go for begging, you know. Māṅgana maraṇa samāna hai, don’t become the beggar. Jo koī māṅgan jāye, who is going for this, lekin unse pahle vo marā. But before the beggar, that one died, jiske mukh se nikle nā, "I cannot give you." That’s it. Then again it is said, Kabīr Dās: "Chidiyā chāñch bhar le gaī." A bird took with the peak water. From where? River. Chidyā chāch bhar le gayī nadīnā ghaṭyā nīr. The river didn’t lose the water. Dharma kīye dhanāna kaṭāya. Therefore Tulsīdājī said, while giving some donation for good things, your wealth will not become less. It will grow more and more. You know, around the whole world, people are asking for blood donation. No? In the whole world, people are asking for money for the Red Cross, through the Red Cross, for the hospitals, for this and that and many things. And so, Dr. Shanti is also asking for the hospitals. It is not that Śāntī puts money in her pocket or somewhere, no. We thank Dr. Shanti, who has worked so hard for the last 12 years, not 16. Avatārpuri is 16 years old? The society was founded, and we celebrated there. On the day when we were in the third district, we celebrated. We got news that he had come there. Still, I am old, but my memory is a little bit, but somewhere it is. So, data, data means give. It means not that you have to give millions, no. Even if you can give one grain of rice to a bird, that is also counted as your good deed, your good work. A pious soul, and how a soul becomes pious, dharmātmā kaise bantā hai? Even with one drop, many ants are running in the hot season. Put a little drop of water, and you will see immediately a few ants will come to lick that water, to drink that water. Therefore, in the hot months—June, July, May—in desert areas, people are giving... What is Kedināgra? What is Kedināgra? Okay, because they don’t do it. They are young boys, you know, they are kids. I am the old grand, grand, grandfather. So, kīrī means the ant, ants. Nagra means the nagrī, and nagrī means the city of the ants. Śrī Śrī... Put the water around there, and it’s coming. What? Ants are coming and eating and drinking the water. But you have to be very conscious. If you do, and you go away, who comes? Birds. And birds will eat the ants. The birds say to the man, "Thank you, you brought my food out." You are the guilty one who brought this. You gave the temptation to the ants to come out. And now, they came out and they were eaten by the bird. Therefore, what are they doing? They get dry bush branches, a lot, and put them there, and put stones on it so the birds cannot enter. That’s it. Otherwise, we said, Kedī hīche tītar khāye, or pāpīro dhan parle jāī. Otherwise, if you act without knowledge, then your money is wasted and it becomes a sin. It means this is not only the bird or the ants; where and how you spend your money is multiplying your sin. Dharmātmā or Pāpātmā, a pure soul or a sinner. Of course, we don’t hate the sinner, we hate the sin. Dayāl Shelter at Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī is our Gurudev, Devpurījī, Holy Gurujī. Lakham Praṇām, millions of salutations. Lakham pranām charanme asherī pūjya deep dayālu dātā asherī pūjya lakhon pranām charanme dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī. Bigidī means spoiled, destroyed, something went wrong; now we can’t save, we can’t help. But Mahāprabhujī can help, and Mahāprabhujī can again repair everything. Anhonī Guru kar sake, or honī det mitāī, par Brahma Gurudev hai, sab kus det banāī. Anhonī Guru kar sake, or honī det mitāī. What’s happening, what is not happening, Gurudev can make happening. And what’s happening? Gurudev can make... no, it will not happen. Because Parabrahma Gurudev, Gurudev is Parabrahma, which is above this destiny, above the Dharmarāja, Sab Kus Det Banāī, can do everything for his bhakta. Dhaṅg Bal Ho Mahā Jot Mahā Vīran Kā Vajra Sarī Similarly, God is waiting to neutralize the negative energy and protect the bhaktas. Now, why am I telling you this? That time, Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān, Viṣṇu, Sudarśana Cakra, and Sudarśana Cakra went and chipped off the head of the Śiśupāla. Chakra came back, and Bhagavān said, "Okay, done your duty." But what happened? Chakra went, and there was an injury to the index finger of Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, which was bleeding. Everybody was looking, "Oh God, God..." The finger is bleeding, this, this. No one was thinking to put on some kind of plaster. Everyone was dressed well. Only there was one person, and that was Draupadī. A very precious, very expensive sari. She didn’t think this was expensive, so she just tore her sari and wrapped it around the finger of Kṛṣṇa. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa looked to Draupadī and said, "Draupadi, you bound me for something which I have to pay you back. Draupadī, tumne mujhe reṇī banā diyā. Kya ki tumhārī sārī phaḍ ke jo lagāī, Draupadī. Jitane tere sārī me, as many threads are in your sārī, when you will need, I will give you millions of threads." Everybody was smiling, what Kṛṣṇa is saying and what Draupadī is saying. But Bhagavān is trikāla-darśī, God is knower of our past, present, and future. We don’t know. Kalka, you don’t know what will happen second, and talking about tomorrow, only God knows. Mahāprabhujī knows. Time came, the Pāṇḍavas and Kauravas were gambling, and there time came that the Pāṇḍavas played even the whole kingdom, all the monies, and only remained Draupadī, and they were forcing. He did not play the Draupadi, you know. This time came, they wanted to take the sari away from Draupadi, and all were paralyzed. Bhīṣma, Duryodhana, and all kings, they were all looking. No one dared to say no. All was bound by some kind of law. At that time, no law applies; only one law helps: support Dharma. Dharma Rakṣita Rakṣitāḥ. Duryodhana, the stepbrother of Arjuna and Dushasana. Duryodhana said to Dushasana, "Go and pull her sari away." Help, please, Draupadī. All were looking, and Duḥśāsana begins to pull the sārī. At that time, she had no one; she looked. Neither her husband could help, nor others; all were sitting and looking. Only one, who? God, Kṛṣṇa. Hey Kṛṣṇa, hey Govind, hey Gopāl. And what happened? From nowhere, the sari was coming and wrapping her body. Duryodhana was pulling and pulling and pulling. Naivo, Dushāsana, like this whole our jūpā. But Draupadī is still fully covered. He was completely exhausted, completely. But Draupadī said, "Satguru, rakhō lajā merī, Satguru, rakhō lajā merī." Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān. Therefore, God needs a pure heart, pure consciousness, and pure actions. But now in Kali Yuga, even people try to cheat God. There was a time when bhaktas were making the shelter. Look how it is. We seek shelter for God, and we are making shelter for God, the temple. But that is not a shelter for God, but this is a shelter for the bhaktas to realize and meditate. Everyone makes their house, everyone makes their factory, everyone makes their company, only the bhaktas. They make the ashram, temple, church, mosque, and so on. So that’s what we call Śrī Pūjā Dīp Dayālu Dātā Lakho Praṇām, Bigāḍī Banāne Vāle Dātā Lakho Praṇām. With which kind of feeling should we have, which feelings Draupadī had at that time. Prahlāda, at that time, he had to go and hug a fire pillar, and an elephant was caught by a crocodile. So it means even animals call to God, and God will come one day for all. And Mīrā Bāī was poisoned, but she said, because Rāṇā’s chain had the poison, and said, "This is the Caraṇāmṛta of your Gurudev." So she drank. Paggunga Rubandh Mīrā Nachire Paggunga Rubandh Mīrā. So tomorrow, today’s satsaṅg time is over. Wish you all the best, very good evening. And all dear brothers and sisters around the world, I wish you all the best. Tomorrow will be webcast again at 7 o’clock, 7 p.m. according to New Daily Time. God bless you. Om Śānti.
