Blessed Self, spiritual seekers, brothers and sisters, welcome. Blessings of Om Śrī Alak Purījīsida Pītā Paramparā. The time is one of the most beautiful this month. This month is what we call Vaiśākha. Vaiśākha means where nature begins to blossom and gives many branches, roots, and protection. The soul enters this earth, manifests into life, and there are the four ways: Udbhija, Svedaja, Aṇḍaja, and Jarāyuja. Udbhija is connected with Prakṛti—nature, vegetation, and herbs. Nature teaches us that life is just a routine, a circle, as I say. Life is a journey. Do not waste your time. Utilize your time for good things so that you do not have the time to think of bad things. Especially in India, in Vedic culture, a few trees have been introduced which are considered holy trees. They are mostly what we call the banyan tree, kalpavṛkṣa, the mango trees, āmla trees, and so on. The banyan tree, male and female, bird and people. That tree is so beautiful that it was preserved by the Australian Aborigines. Big, big, big. In the countries where there is little water, oxygen is needed more, and the desert is there. Now, in this Vaiśākha month, mostly all the ladies go and give the water, put around a holy thread, and give the tilaka and prasāda, sugars, and like this. They get blessings, and their wish is fulfilled. Many who are still unmarried, young girls, they pray for a healthy and good husband. Those who can’t get children, they pray and they get. Make experience. Come and pray to the one banyan tree here, and one is very famous, known in the Kurukṣetra. There is one banyan tree, and many people go to that tree and put this holy thread and wish, and they can get children. That tree is a blessing, but you can’t see it. Hold the trunk of the tree, you feel the prāṇa, you feel the vibration. But ask the tree, how hard is life? Any condition, the tree stays there. Hot or cold, rain, snow, winter, summer, and numerous creatures are existing in the roots, trunk, bark, leaves, branches, blossoms, and fruits, and many birds, humans, and animals. Therefore, protect nature. Therefore, in Vedānta, it is said there are four ways that life comes into this: Udbhija, Svedaja, Aṇḍaja, and Jarāyuja. Vedānta kā hai ye, bhul gaye. So, this Mahina, this is a very particular time for the protection of the environment, protection of the herbs, protection of the trees, and therefore it’s called Jarī Banaspati Jarī Būṭī. Jarī means the roots. Būṭī means those plants which give the seeds and die. That you can take the whole plant. Banaspati, it means the leaves fall down. Abhī nīm ke pattī gir rahe haiṁ. But vo nīm sūkegā nahīṁ. It leaves further, so it lets the leaves fall down, but the trees are still living. Therefore, do not destroy that one, but utilize the leaves. Vedānta is not only Vedic Saṁskṛti or culture; it is not only religious, it is not a religion. But it has to be connected to religion because most people have a feeling towards religion. Humans are, we all are very selfish. We don’t want to protect all grass and all the bushes; we will cut them off. But when you are injured and have some big wound, and someone will say, you know, that kind of bush has leaves, and put it, it will be okay. Then you are going to see where the good things are. So, this is a particular month, and this is the month dedicated to the protection of the environment for sustainable development. And therefore, this can only be if you have love in the heart. You don’t have love; then you are like a butcher. Compassion, Prem, Ahiṃsā. Jiske hṛdaya meṁ Prem hai, vaha to sabhī ko bachāne kī kośiś kartā hai. Lekin jiske hṛdaya meṁ vaha dayā pāv nahīṁ hai, Prem nahīṁ hai, voh to ek katal khāne kī tarah kām karne lag jātā hai. Bhakti without bhakti vo prem nahīṁ hai. Voh svārtha hai. Without devotion, the love is only selfishness. And selfish love has limitations. It will disappear; it will die. As long as that selfish love is active or existing in you, that has a protection. Selfish love is called hate, jealousy, anger, krodha, lobha, moha, ahaṅkāra, agni. Therefore, the material love, love towards your house, love towards your car, love towards your animals, love towards your husband and wife, love towards your money, this is just a momentary love. This love is just like water in the hand. Very soon it will drip out, but that love, that love remains unquenched. And what kind of love is that love? Our Satguru Bhagavān Mahādwāja Mahārāja used to say in satsaṅga, "Love you cannot hide, because love creates the light of that wisdom. You cannot hide the musk, kasturī. Even if you put it somewhere in plastic and in your suitcase, the smell will come, and if you can’t smell it," The most clever dogs will come and smell. Two men were walking, one dog was between them, and one small child said, "Pittā jī, ye do ādmī jā rahe, inke bīch meṁ kuttā kyū haiṁ?" To uskā bāb kyā thā, ki "Betā, do re bīch meṁ, koī ne koī to intellectual, intelligent honā chāhiye nā, gyānī." To do ke beechme, between two men, one dog is walking. And the child is asking, "Father, why is the one dog between two men?" And the father says, because between two, one must be intelligent. This is a Hungarian joke. His father told me, the Krishnanand. Yes, that’s my Hungarian. So, but you know, love has no borders. And we can never have enough. This is another problem. The real love is that which is increasing, increasing. And selfish love is decreasing and creating fear. Bhakti is increasing and creating fearlessness. Let’s you come out of your depressions, your fears, your this and that. And therefore, our Satguru Dev Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān said, he is praying to Gurudev Mahāprabhujī’s Viṣṇu Avatāra. Sab kusā deve dātā dīpa dayāl. Janam janam kā daridur meṭhe mahā dhan deṭh viśāl. Sab kus deva idhātā dīpa dayāl. Mahāprabhujī said to Gurujī, "Arre, tum kyā māṅgnā cāhtā?" Ki Gurujī bole, "Kis kus nahī? Janam janam ke liye bhakti cāhtā hoon." Mahāprabhujī bole, kuch bhī chāho le lo, bole mujhe paisā, dhan, māl kuch nahīṁ chāhiye. Mahāprabhujī kahtā hai, Ṭukiyā ke jholā meher ko lākho bharē śalām, if even for a second my eyes turn towards you, then lakhs of people will salute you. But devotion is needed, not devotion of selfishness, but devotion of Gurudev. Therefore, Gurujī said, "Prem kā pyālā hari kabh merā bhar se? Prem kā pyālā hari kabh adh na bhikārī ham khade khade tar se? Se prem kā pyālā hari kabh merā? Se prem kā pyālā hari kabh merā bharat?" Adnā Bhikārī Hum Khade Khade Taras, Adnā Bhikārī Hum Khade Khade Taras. Prem Kā Pyālā Harī Kab Merā? Bhārat Se Prem Kā Pyālā Harī Kab Merā? Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī. O Bhagavān, O Gurudev, O my Lord. When will you fill my bowl of love, piyālā, katorā? Abhī khālī paḍā hai, it is empty. When will you fill it? That piyālā, prem kā piyālā kahā hai? Heart. Our heart is that bowl of love. Fill my heart with love. What kind of love? Dayā, Prem, Bhakti, Jñāna, Kṣamā, Śānti, Santoṣa. That’s why Tulsī Dāsjī Mahārāj said, "Dayā dharma kā mūla hai, aur pāpa mūla abhimāna." Tulsī, dayā na chhoḍīye, jab lākh ghaṭ me prāṇ. Dayā, the mercy. The mercy is the root of the dharma. Pāpa mūla abhimān, and the roots of the sins is the ego. When the ego enters your mind and intellect, the heart dries up. Like a pond dries, there is no water. And when the pond dries, then the clay begins to break. The pond dries, the bottom dries, and all the fish die. What is the condition of the dry pond? Thousands of birds are flying, sitting, and looking at the pond. There is no water. It was that negative intellect which set in your inside and caused there to be no rain of love, no rain of kindness, understanding, and mercy. That died. Therefore, that pond should never dry out. O Lord, I am the beggar at thy door. Whole day and night, I am longing, I am longing for thy mercy, thy blessings. Ādā bhikārī hum khade kha tarse, Ādā bhikārī hum khade kha tarse. Prem kā pyālā hari kab merā bhar, Prem kā pyālā hari kab merā bhar. Then what do they say? What is lacking in your court? What? Is lacking in your court? Why should we go hungry from your court? Why should we go from your court? Oh Lord, in thy kingdom everything is there, nothing is missing. In thy kingdom, nothing is missing. Why should I go hungry from thy door, my Lord? It means bhakti. O Mahāprabhujī, you are the ocean of mercy. You are the ocean of bhakti, jñāna, and vairāgya. Give us something. Give in my heart. I don’t ask you anything. I don’t want money. I don’t want wealth. I don’t want anything. People throw money at your feet, saying, "Gurudev, do not throw money in front of you." Some say that people throw money in the temple. Why should they throw money? They throw money in such a way that God will take your money and bless you. No, no, this is not the case. They say to God, "There is no money in front of you." Gurudev flows in your feet, the river of love. This is true. Why should we go hungry from thy house? Khālī gayān koī āpke ghar se, Prem kā pyālā hari kā bhar se. Ādā bhikārī hum khade, khade taras. Ādā bhikārī hum khade, khade taras. Prem kā pyālā lahari kā bhar se, Prem kā pyālā. Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Dev Puruṣa Mahādev. Jo tere ghar pe āyā, sab kuch pāyā. O Lord, those who came to thy door, they got everything. They got everything. Nobody went with an empty bag or empty pocket from thy home, thy door, my Lord. Why don’t you fill my heart with that bhakti, with that devotion? Bhakti-hīna-paśu-samāna, where there is no devotion, one is like an animal. Isiliye, kali-yuga-kevala-nāma-ādhāra-sumira-sumira-nara-hoi-bhava-pāra. It is said, kali-yuga-karma-pradhāna, kali-yuga-karma-pradhāna. In the Kali-yuga, karma is the main thing. How to dissolve this? We are trapped in the trap of karma. We are trapped in the jail of karma. How to open it? So, Tulsīdās jī said in a very simple language, that Kalyug is only the beginning of karma. So, Tulsīdās jī says, Kalyug is only based on the name Ādhāra. It has only one basis: the name of Bhagavān, your mantra. Kaliyuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira na roi bhava pāra. Therefore, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa speaks about karma yoga, but Tulsīdās jī speaks about bhakti yoga. Finally, Kṛṣṇa had to accept and create the 12th chapter, the 12th one. Maya vese mano ema no, which one is it? Not the third, the twelfth. Oh, I am saying Finally, kaliyuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra. So, in kaliyuga, kevala gurudeva kā nāma. Kaliyuga is the main thing. In kaliyuga is the karma, and there is a struggle between. Karma and dharma, the justice of the karma, dharma rāja and yama rāja, they are constantly having the conflict. But Tulsīdās jī has solved this conflict of karma and dharma. He is a devotee of the name Ādhāra. And therefore, Mīrā Bāī says, "We have found Rām Ratan Dhan. That khāyo na khuṭey, chor na lūṭey, din din badat savāyo, koī na lī jāye, kāī na lī jāye." Aur din prati din, vo merā account bank kā badtā rehtā hai. My account, vo ādhyātmik. Once you say, "Om Prabhu deep niranjan sabduk banjan," you have put in your account money already. Deep Niranjan Sabduk Banjan, hundred euros. Banjan, hundred euros, he wrote. Śānti, yes, that is that. Jis par mahār bhai, jis par mahār kī najar bhai, prema amṛta hari, e hadabar se, prema amṛta hari, hadabar se, prema kā pyāl, hari kā ba mera, prema kā pyāl, hari kā ba mera. Jispar mehar bhai, mehar ki nazar bhai hai, on whom a gracious look, a kind look of Gurudev, jispar mehar ki nazar bhai hai, prema amṛt hari behad barse, ṭukiyā kī jholo mehar ko lakobhāre lagā, Merī nazar daulat hai, what? Meri nazar daulat hai, my kind look is your prosperity, that is your wisdom, that’s the prosperity. Jispar najar, jispar mehar ki najar, vahey mehar, yani blessings, kindness, prema, amrit, Hari. Behad verse, there is a raining of the prema. Not only your bowl is full, but there is, what you say, the flood, amrit kā flood. We all will swim. We need a nice boat, very good. Therefore, that’s beautiful. Behad varse. Behad means limitless. Gurudev kā āśīrvād varastā rahatā akhaṇḍ. Once when Gurudev gives you a blessing, the hand may come back, but that’s constantly that nectar, rain, blessing of the cosmic Self is showering on you. Behad. Wow! Gurujī was a great saint, a great poet, a great writer, a great thinker, and a great speaker. What? Not? We are all surviving with Gurujī’s jñāna, vākya, bhakti. I am the questioner of my cup. Sometimes I give mercy, sometimes I curse. I am the cup of love. I am the cup of love. I am a poor beggar. I am standing. I am standing. Premā kā pyālā, Harī kā bhaktā meṁ. Prema kā pyālā, meṁ hoon sawālī. Merā pyālā khālī, meṁ hoon sawālī. Kabhī to dayā lūḍatā, dayā ham par kar se. Kabhī to dayā lūḍatā, dīp nāl Bhagvān kī. Gurujī just came to Mahāprabhujī. I am questioner. My question is to thee, O Lord, why my bowl is still empty? Jispar mehar kī nazar vahee, amrit behad barse. O my Lord, on whom you have bestowed thy mercy, endless the blessing nectar is showering. But I am asking you, I am standing at your door, why is my bowl still empty? But one thing, my Lord, I am sure, kabhī na kabhī, one day, sooner or later, kabhī na kabhī, sooner or later, dayālu dātā, dayā hampar karase, sooner or later, O merciful one, you will bestow thy mercy upon me. Therefore, I am still standing at thy door; fill my heart with thy mercy. Mīrā Bāī, Gurujī said, "Mīrā Bāī drank that nectar." Arre, Rana ne to uske sād daga karke zeher bhejā, aur kahā ki ye tere gurujī ke caraṇa amṛta hai, pīlī. To jān, chamrā, caraṇa amṛta pī gayī. Arre, Mīrāmbāī ne, prem dhā, to prem jeher ko amrit meṁ bhī badal detā hai. Where there is love, the poison can be converted into nectar. Mīrā Bāī, Nārsī Bhakta, Kabīr Dāsjī, and Tulsī Dāsjī. Like these Ānanda Bhaktas, endless Bhaktas, O Lord, all the Santas, they drank that divine nectar of thy divine grace, blessings. PP Karke Harsi, Haras. Haras means happiness, happiness. What kind of happiness? Darśan Rām Jī Mahārāj said, "Happiness! Now I am divine. I am in divine because I drank the juice of God’s name. Now, all this enjoyment of this material world is tasteless." That is the Prem, that is the Pyālā. "Why are you not listening to me?" Gurujī said. Why are you not listening? Your treasure is endless. The treasure of Kubera is always full. But not the treasure of gold, silver, or diamond. This treasure is endless. No one comes here. This treasure is a treasure of knowledge. That is why Ācāryanāmajī Mahārāj says that Kubera is also present. Whoever still spends his days with alms, if he is careless, then he is like this. If he is immortal, whoever eats sweets, then he is like this. And if he is cut from his mind, then he is like this. So, Kubera is also present, but he does not care about it. Akhil Khajana, therefore, Mahāprabhujī, thy treasure, thy love, thy wisdom, is endless. Kabina kabi dayalu ampar najar karse, O Gurudev, I am sure that you will lose nothing. Give me one drop from thy ocean. One drop is enough. And that drop will multiply into the endless. Śrī Madhavānanda ke prema ānanda paraso Śrī Madhavānanda. When my soul yearns, then only I will drink the cup of love from my soul, the cup of love, the cup of love, the cup of love. Akal kha jānā terā kyā kote, Akhil kha jānā terā kyā kote, Prem kā pyālā rī kā bhā me, Prem Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān. Therefore, Laghī laghī sabhī koī kahī laghī nahī ligar, Laghī uskī aisī laghī ho gayī param param. Everyone says, "I was hurt, I was hurt," but you were not hurt. Those who were hurt by that arrow of wisdom, love, bhakti, and jñāna, went through and through. So, we only seek the divine mercy of the merciful one, Gurudev, or anyone whom you believe. Seek only the blessing, not money, not this, not... The one who comes to the Guru for money, to make a change in his life, will get such a change in his life that he will say, "Bāpujī, I am not calling you, I have already called you." So, every day is a divine day. Every month is a divine month. You see, Navadurgā, Navarātri, Rāma Navamī, Kubera Bāratā, Hanumān Jayantī, and now today is Easter Sunday, my God, for the Christians, those who believe in Īsāmasī, Jesus, and this Christian philosophy, they today are celebrating Easter Sunday. So I bless you all, blessings for the Eastern, all wherever you are, and wish you all the best. As Mahāprabhujī’s blessing, if we will survive, you will survive, but if I am alive, tomorrow again I will come on the way, casting, same time and same space. Bless you in the name of Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, and I pray to Mahāprabhujī that He fills first your bowl, your cup, and then my cup. O Lord, you are the giver of life, the giver of life,... the giver of life. Mahākācya dukkha bhag Om śānti śānti...
