Good morning. Hari Om. How are you? Very nice. Those who are here in this space, living tomorrow—so many are going. We will all live it up. That is life. Sometimes it is said that it is difficult to consume the truth. You can consume everything, but knowledge is very difficult to consume. Some people have little knowledge and means. Some people have little knowledge, but nevertheless, they are learning. In modern language, modern rich people say something only when you ask them. And when you ask, they try to use the Bible. Viveka, viveka... Wait and see, the karmas will end. Wait and see, destiny will lead you. Avoid, but his holy presence means that through the holy presence, automatically the answer is there, in the answer. Similarly, we are searching with questions. We would like to think and act immediately. You may take time, again and again, to speak something. I have told you often the old name for the holy chair: Vyās Gāḍī, Pīkaudarśī. It means the knower of all three chasms, and the one to whom all the Vedas were dictated to be written. He said before it was not in this form. Vyāsa was a very great sage. We call him Veda Vyāsa. So now, be simple. If you sit there, this place is called Vyāsa Gaḍī, the Holy Throne. Many times, people prepare a lecture and give a lecture. But when they came to the stage to start reading the papers, they said something different than what they had written. And they realized that what they had written was something they needed to read. That means that something different is speaking inside of you. And therefore, any text within the name is speaking in the name of Guru Deva or Vyāsa. Of course, there are some. They have to speak only according to the ambassador. So, they are bound to it, to speak only according to the protocol. But for satsaṅg, there is no protocol. There is only one protocol: speak something good for all, spiritually. You should be able to inspire, motivate, and guide people towards spirituality and serving. All this that we are talking about, this is the problem. And those who sit on that are known as Vyāsas. Of course, someone who speaks and who is sitting there should be a Vyāsa. Povedal Mahāprabhujī: "Please reside in my heart; enlighten my intellect. May the Saraswati, the wisdom of my language, be strong." And this you should also think, and so, the inspiration. It’s Guruvākhya. It is someone, some divine. Call it, Lord, make me the instrument. And that is why I would like you to be firm, so that you do not break your heart. A tool that anyone can use. It is easy to say that I would like to be a tool, but it is not easy to be. But only he can survive. Only he who has thinking within himself can survive. I am not the perfect one. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... What does it mean to be the instrument of God? Of course, we have to use our knowledge. Sometimes the instrument has to be very hard. Sir, the story: I asked him for one thing, and he gave me two. The first story he told me was about a snake. Only one snake, very old. They have a long life, a very hard life, a hard life. No legs, no arms, no ears. A snake can’t hear anything; he feels the vibration on the earth, that’s all. That’s the hard life, and, of course, all are afraid of the snake. The snake stayed and lived somewhere close to the garden. People saw him many times, but they didn’t kill him because he didn’t eat anyone. Just people escaped. He stayed there. Every evening satsaṅg. And somewhere, the snake got the vibration of what the Master is talking about. One day after lunch, Master sat alone under the tree, and he came after him and said, "There are so many people who are coming after you. I did not come after you. First, I am afraid of people; they will kill me. And second, if I come, people will be afraid that I invited you. But now, there is nobody, and I came to you, Lord. You spoke so wisely. You opened my eyes. You melted my heart. You made me think. You made me think. Yes, Master, you spoke a few times in satsaṅg about mokṣa, depression, mantra, guru. Guru, so I came to you, if you can give me, accept me as your disciple, if you can give me, accept me as your disciple. All creatures are welcome." And my teacher spoke through astral body to astral body. "There is a form of a snake, but the astral form is not a snake. Your form is human now. In the astral form, you will not have these hands and legs and all of this. So don’t worry about an accident. Nothing will break. In astral form, just a spring. Awareness that you are existing. Like when you are in deep sleep, you know you are sleeping. But you are not aware of any limbs. So this is a different form. This is the astral form where samādhi, which is not so easy to get, otherwise the telephone companies will go bankrupt. Then nobody will give the mobile phone. So, thanks to God, we made something in favor of those companies." Master gave him my trowel, and the snake said, "Lord, I should give you something." As a Guru Dakṣiṇā, if offered to the Master, but you know, except this body, Master said, "Well, you need not give me anything. You gave me your heart, your confidence. It’s more than enough," he said. "But please, give me some duty. I would like to fulfill the duty." Master said, "That’s good. Don’t bite anyone, no animals, no people, Urvakī, Urvakī, Sunki, Sunki..." "But since I have a mantra master, my life has become unbearable, because you told me not to bite anyone, and I do not. But now the people came to know that I don’t fight, and the children and people did not leave me; they nearly broke my bones, these little children pulling here and there. Master, please give me some different duty. What should I do?" "I told you not to bite. I told you not to frighten them. So if someone comes near to you, you frighten them. Make it." The next day, this neighbor was sitting, and some man came and wanted to take him. He stayed awake, raised up, blew out his cheeks, and the man ran away. So it means to become a breeze of the instrument of love, which does not mean that everyone abuses you and you are suffering. You should keep your discipline, you should keep your dignity, and use your viveka. In that way, you become the instrument of God, and not that now I will do it; that’s completely wrong. Without doing, one cannot be successful. So, the second story Mahāprabhujī told me when we were sitting after a walk, in the afternoon on the meadow, we just closed our eyes. Do you remember? And this is a story which has been told. There was living one sādhu, a holy saint, somewhere in the Himalayas, and he had a beautiful hut made out of bamboo and grass, finished. When he finished this hut very nicely, the next day he began to dismantle it, and when it was completely disassembled, he began to build it again. A few days again, it may be, and there again it is made. So when people used to come to this sādhu for help, asking, "We are not successful in our life," he said, "That cannot be. You are not working enough. To every field of life, you can be successful. Look, I dismantled the hut, and again I beat it successfully. Again I dismantled it, again I beat it. So similarly, you should continue work, don’t give up. On the day when you will lose self-confidence, that you can’t do well, you can’t be successful, then you cannot be successful. But you will continue in your life by using your viveka, respecting everyone’s feelings." It takes time until a tree becomes a tree. So your thoughts, your ideas, your aim is that large banyan tree. The tree which has the air roots, the tree which has the air roots, is undestroyable, because the main trunk may be eaten by the herbs, but the air roots became the trunk already, many, many months. So these are your branches of work, these are roots of your thoughts, and that makes the strong tree; your mission becomes solid, and you can be successful. Everyone begins from the grassroots project. Grass root project, slowly, slowly, and that’s also your spiritual work. You begin with your spiritual work, and if you think before how your life is, how must you know the wisdom? How must you know the wisdom? You know so much, but when you are in trouble, you can’t use it. If somebody is unhappy, you are very expert at calming them down. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Mahāprabhudīp Karatā Purījī, Siddha Purījī, Siddha... So sometimes even God can’t help you; God lets you wait for some time. One day, Padu came and stayed there for a few days. Every evening he was absent, and one man stood up and said, "Swāmījī, I have a request. There is one very poor man. We are all very sorry for him. You can help." So he asked one. "I go to the bar, but don’t think that I am crazy. I will play as a crazy one, only to help her. Sometimes, to help the crazy one, you have to become crazy. When you are with the goats and cows, you have to become like that to understand their feelings." So, this sādhu took one beautiful ceramic vase. He took this beautiful ceramic vase and held it in his hand, and walked here and there in front of her in the graveyard, saying, "All my ways, how beautiful you are," and she was crying to her husband. And she said, "Now may you come back, oh my dear, come back. I am tired of it. Please get up, let’s go home." She was, and he said, "After a little walk we will go home." And she was gone, and that’s what happened. Suddenly he let the vase fall down, and it broke. Five meters away, it broke. He collected the pieces of the vase. "Oh my darling, oh my dearly. Oh, my only one. My wife asked me to go back to work, and I started crying." I said, "Lala, have you gone mad? Why? It’s broken. It’s broken, can’t you tell? The broken vase can’t be repaired." He said, "It’s not broken. What do you see? It’s finished. It’s your brain." He said, "My dear sister, your husband is only 15 days dead. Don’t you see that? He cannot come." And she comes, and the year is like this. A prayer for you, yes. So sometimes the fixed ideas, it is very hard to get rid of them. And that is where the self is. Of course, the love, the attachment, we have to understand. In India, we used to say, "Blood is thicker than water." Means blood relation. If something happens to our blood relation person, we feel more. And that is what we call not only human, every creature feels that. So it means you should be very humble, but it does not mean that you let yourself be sold. But it doesn’t mean that you have to sell yourself. You should also be strict, and you should not give up. Don’t be lazy. Keep on working. Self-discipline is the key to success. We will be successful in life. So, this was this evening’s message. This was today’s evening message. I wish you good evening. Kī Jai, Purī Samā, Kī Jai, Kī Jai. So we will have now prayer. Sit down, put up your body. Now we will pray. So that you will never forget the most beautiful day of your life.
