The Path of Humility, Prayer, and the Eternal Light

An evening satsang on spiritual practice, humility, and the purification of karma.

"Only through humbleness. With humbleness and kindness, you can obtain blessings."

"Prayer, prayer. Gandhi said, 'Physically, I can fast, but mentally I cannot fast, because my mental tonic which gives me this strength is my prayers.'"

A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, weaving together themes from the previous days' discussions on karma and dharma. He emphasizes humility and prayer as the means to receive divine blessings and navigate life's difficulties, recounting the prayer of Arjuna to Krishna. He warns against the divisive use of religion in politics and stresses the importance of satsang and a true guru for spiritual continuity, illustrating this with Rabindranath Tagore's parable of the sun and the lamp. The discourse culminates in an explanation of a specific mantra dedicated to Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, describing its power to purify the mind, awaken the inner light, and grant protection and liberation.

Good evening, dear sisters, brothers, aspirants, and spiritual seekers. These four days have been beautiful. We have had a dialogue concerning what we call karma and dharma, especially the purification of karma, both in theory and practice. I gave you many practical examples: if we put on a light, darkness goes away. If we put off the light, darkness is there. So, if you do not believe in karma, at least believe that when you put on a light, darkness is removed. Similarly, if you put those thoughts into practice, then karma is purified. Yesterday evening, as well as this morning, we covered six points: dharma or Dharma—righteousness, justice, and injustice; jñāna and pāpa—where jñāna signifies good things or piety, and pāpa is sin. The fifth and sixth points were āśīrvāda and śrāpa, blessing and curse. In ancient stories and literatures from every culture around the whole world, you can experience this theme of blessing and curse. So, how does one receive blessings? Only through humbleness. With humbleness and kindness, you can obtain blessings. When it rains on the mountains, the water flows down to where there are deep valleys or a lake. The deep valley or the lake signifies being low, so the blessing automatically goes to those who possess humbleness. Human beings try everything and find that still, without the help of God or without the help of the spiritual master—the luminary, the spiritual luminary—we will not manage to come through. Therefore, as I told you yesterday in a story about Arjuna: he came to Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa and said a prayer, a request: "I have tried everything, my lord, but I cannot. Please help me." Tameva mātā ca pitā tvameva — You are my father and mother. Tameva bandhu cha sakhā tvameva — You are my relative and you are my friend. Tameva vidyā draviṇam tvameva — You are my knowledge and you are my wealth. Tameva deva sarvam vidhyā — You are my knowledge, and you are my Lord. You are everything, oh my Lord. Tām eva mātā ca pitā tvam eva. Tam eva bandho cha sakhā tam eva. Tam eva vidyā draviṇam tam eva. Tām eva sarvam mama deva deva. — Everywhere you are, my Lord. And after the prayer and practice, we say, "O Lord, through my mind, through my senses, through my mind and through my words, I am not capable to worship Thee, O my Lord. If I make a mistake, please forgive me." Humbleness, kindness—just try, and you will see in life that suddenly beautiful things will come into your life. It is like this: there is a fog, and you cannot see. Suddenly you see the fog move, and then you see the road clear. It is said, whenever you feel scared, pray. When you do not see the way out of your troubles, pray. Your prayer will always be there and help you. Your prayers will be listened to immediately by God. Prayers come in different kinds. It does not matter which language or to which God; all is one. So the God which you believe in from the enchanted time onwards—that which is in your blood, that which is in your relation—will help you. Prayer, prayer. Gandhi said, "Physically, I can fast, but mentally I cannot fast, because my mental tonic which gives me this strength is my prayers." He said, "I understand why people have to fast once a week or on a full moon or like this." Because on that fasting day, you use the time for your prayers. The time which you spend cooking, shopping, eating, and cleaning—that much time you should pray more instead of doing that work. Confucius said, when the day is dark and dreary and it is hard to find the way, do not let your heart be worried. It is better to light a candle than to stand in the darkness. So the candle, the flame of that hope and the flame of that prayer, will always be with you, and it will grow. So, any language, prayer is prayer. Any language, love is love. Any language, God is God. Duality resides in the human mind, and duality is what creates division among humans. That is why there are wars. There have been religious wars, there are religious wars, there are economic wars that use religion, there are political wars, there is the oil war, now the water war, the oxygen wars—many will come. And how do they use it? They use the humbleness and kindness of the people in the name of God and in the name of religion. People are innocent. They believe, and people are manipulated with such words. They use words to touch a sensitive point, and that sensitive point brings conflict over religion, culture, tradition, and ancestors. They divide: your place, my country, my people. "Now we believe this, and we are this, and we want to have this." That is how people are divided and manipulated, because every politician needs a vote bank. It does not matter who you are or what you are; they need your vote to come into power. So you are the vote bank for them. At election time, they will be kind and nice. One politician will come to your home, have a cup of tea and talk, and you will say, "Wow, this is such a good person." And when he or she wins the election, then you telephone and say, "Can I visit?" They say, "Sorry, I have no time." You cannot even get through on the telephone. There is a friend's room, and someone is sitting there. They do not let the telephone call through. That is all. When will you see the face of that person face-to-face? At the next election, they say, "Oh, yes, I am sorry. I did not know. I did not get it. I have been definitely at some meetings, very busy, or I was not here. My secretary perhaps forgot to give me the message, but I..." Never forget it. Always when I drive by, I say, "You have my friend's house." So it is called selfishness for the time being, and then it is gone. But the spiritual relation, brotherhood, that remains forever. So God incarnates and comes for those simple people. God brings that love, God brings that oneness, humbleness, kindness. Remembering this, and then as I taught in the satsaṅg just now—you all were there—the best yoga, the best spiritual path for the best development of spirituality and for the realization, ātma-jñāna (self-realization), is the satsaṅg. What is the Bhagavad Gītā? It is a dialogue between master and disciple: Kṛṣṇa, the master (guru), and Arjuna as the disciple. What is the Bible? The name of the Bible is also called the Gospel of Master and Disciple. Who was the Guru? The Master, Jesus. And who was the disciple? His disciple. Guru Vakya—the Guru tells, Jesus tells that, "Believe me, I am the way to God. What I tell you will give you self-realization." But he never said, "Only me forever." Now, the people who are pure-hearted, they are drawn. They say, "Yes, Jījā said, 'Only I am the way.'" So only he is the way; no other is the way. The process is blocked. The continuity of the spirituality to lead you into the cosmic unity is that spirituality where you meet a personality who is called the guru or master. Otherwise, there is darkness, again the darkness. When the sun sets, then you must have on the light, be the light. Like Ravīndranāth Ṭhākur, who won the Nobel Prize in poetry long ago. At sunset, he was standing near the bank of the Gaṅgā in Calcutta, and he saw the sunset. Now, as an artist, as a philosopher, as a poet, you always have different thinking. According to your profession, you have your thinking. When you go for a walk or stand and look somewhere... One day, one man was looking like this, and I was in the street. I said, "What are you looking at?" He said, "Yes, I am looking at this design of these windows in London." I said, "What? But you have seen many." He said, "Yes, in every street I go and I look, all windows have the same size." You know, in all of London, the old houses were designed by one architect. You go to the market and say, "I need my front window from my left side." Okay, you do not need to get the measurement; you do not need to get the size. Everything is the same because all are the same. And you should know the house number; otherwise, you do not know which house it is. It is like when your car, a beautiful Jaguar, is standing in the showroom of Jaguar. They also have a used car lot, and there are used cars also, nicely cleaned and washed, and the plate number is removed. Which is your car? How do you know which is your car? But now you have your key. You press the button, and your car says, "Come to me." The light is blinking, flashing. So when you go to a certain part of London, all houses are unique and wall-to-wall. Every window is like this, so it is hard to see. Now, all philosophers will think according to philosophy. An engineer will think as an engineer according to his profession. So Ravīndranāth Ṭhākur was standing there; he had a long beard also, and like this, and was looking at the sunset. And now he has a dialogue with the sun. Yes. So he is asking the sun, "Why are you sad? Who said?" Ravīndranāth Ṭhākur. The sun said, "Well, Mr. Tagore, I am sad for my children, all my friends here. On this earth, I gave them the whole day, the light, and everything. Now my time has come; I am setting down, and the darkness is coming. I am sad because I have no successor who can illuminate the night." The same thing will happen with you, my dear, too. When you are old, and you have a lot of houses and properties, then you will say, "I have no children. What will happen with my house, my beautiful flat in Brisbane, my big..." Or you have a different profession. I also think, "How will it be? My successor will... my success... they have the same love for all my devotees." I never tell my devotees, "You are a bad person, and go out," though the devotees, between them, are fighting and every day crying, "This and that," and "This is a terrible person," and "This is that." And what do I say? Yes, it will be better, God. It will. I pray to Mahāprabhujī, "My Lord, that work you gave me, and I brought your light into the world, different parts of the world. Please bless some soul, some saint, who will bring this light in that way, with guru bhakti." Nowadays, in Kali Yuga, a disciple would like to be like a guru, and the guru has to provide everything to the disciples. Yes. So the sun tells Tagore—Gurudev is known as a Gurudev also, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. The sun said, "Who? I do not know. I have no succession." In that minute when the sun was just setting, half was still out. And what bell was ringing in the Śiva temple. And Ravindranath looks to the Śiva temple, and the pūjārī, the paṇḍit or what you call the priest, was just lighting a ghee lamp for making pūjā. And Ravīndra Dāda Tagore said to the sun, Sūrya Nārāyaṇa, "This flame says, 'I cannot be the sun, but I will try to give the light. I cannot replace you as a sun, but I will keep the light. Those who will come near, I will give them the light.'" Similarly, we cannot be that Kṛṣṇa. We cannot be that Rāma or Śiva or Brahmā. We cannot be Devapurījī and Mahāprabhujī. I try to keep this gentle light in all of my palms, and with the other hand, by protecting the flame of my devotees, the spiritual flame. Sometimes they themselves blow out that flame. They have a flame; they are carrying it carefully, and then the flame is blown out. So, what does that mean? "Cha," you make it "cha," and the flame is blown out. That is a vikṣepa, that is a kleśa. And before you are sneezing or you are coughing, you know that, and it is told you to turn your face to the other direction. When negative vṛttis come, turn your face to the other side and throw the negative energy there, and protect the light of spirituality. Like a mother with a young child, just born, one month, one day, one month, two months, three months, going through the rain or snow or cold storm. She will face the water and cold on her body, but she will carry her child like this and go like that. No? So that spiritual light is your child that has to grow in you. And that we learn in satsaṅg. Sat means the truth, and Saṅgh means to be with them. Especially, pray and love your enemy. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said in the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā—that is the chapter of devotion, Bhakti Yoga. According to the Bhagavad Gītā, there are eighteen steps of yoga. In Rāja Yoga, it is only these four: karma, bhakti, rāja, and jñāna. But Kṛṣṇa clearly divided and he modified the philosophy of yoga in 18 steps, 18 chapters, where the entire human existence and philosophy is given for how to become successful. If not this, then that. If not this, then that. The Bhagavad Gītā is one of the books. You read the same mantra every day, and you will get new knowledge, new wisdom. Because that is within you. That is within you. These are the words of the great incarnation of the saints. Śabda, the wisdom, the Śabda. Who gave us this one word called "love"? Every day you get a new meaning of love. Every time, millions of different creatures and countless creatures—even a little, very tiny ant is running here and there to get love. And we are also struggling for love, love. We love money, we love our car, we love our house, we love our horse, we love our dogs, we love our bed, we love many things. We are searching for love. Who gave us this word "love"? What power has been put in one word, "love"? All are utilizing love. All are enjoying the love. All are sharing the love. But love does not get smaller. That is wisdom. That is truth. And therefore, it is said, God is love and love is God. Because you cannot minimize God; you cannot diminish God, who will always be. Who died? The body. Who died? The mind. Love never dies. Love never dies. If you understood love, if you give the word for your love, love will never die, my dear. It does not matter what happens. When cruelty comes, then suffering comes. Why? Because you sided love on one side. Keep your love in your heart, and take your gun and go to the battlefield. You will not be able to shoot the person. The actions. So there are many, many things which are given by great wise people, saints, philosophers, or whatever you call happiness. All we are struggling to be happy. All we get happiness, but happiness does not become smaller. No one tells us to hurry up because there will come a time when there will be no happiness. What will we do? So we shall take happiness and preserve it in our storeroom, more and more. So, happiness, love, joy, freedom, and bliss—this is given by God freely to everyone. You have it; use it or lose it. If you are unhappy, it is your own ignorance. If you are angry or disappointed, it is your own. So love never dies. That is the evidence. Evidence will never die. And that is God, and that God is everyone. If a little ant enjoys the love, when she finds a piece of sugar, you know what her happiness is? She holds the piece of sugar in her mouth, and both ears go slightly, you know, and she is walking. Oh my God, the little ant becomes her majesty. You can create happiness in a small child; in your hand, you give a little toy, and immediately happiness is shining. How easily you can give happiness. So do not try to create unhappiness. And it is said, "Yeh din bhī calā jāyegā, yeh din bhī calā jāyegā"—this day will also pass. There was a great queen, Madhalsa, in Indian history. When she married, she made one saṅkalpa and prayed to God, "All my children who will be born through my womb, I will give them that self-realization so that the soul will not need to go again anymore into another womb." And when she got a child, she taught Brahma Vidyā. When the child was in the body, when she was pregnant, she used to speak with the child: "You are a Brahman, you are an Ātmā, you are divine, you are light, you are happiness, you are love, you are joy," giving instructions that influence the subconsciousness of the child. And when the child was born, she taught them, and they all went to the forest and became great ṛṣis. The king asked his son, "Queen, you gave everyone such knowledge that they all went and became sanyāsīs or ṛṣis. Who will take care of the kingdom? Now your and my time is gone. You have to prepare and teach the knowledge of governing the kingdom." And she taught the science of ethics. Ethics were created by ṛṣis, and politics is a symbol or philosophy of the ethics. Do not think that politics is bad. Mahātmā Gandhījī said in his life book, what he wrote, "The Experiment of the Truth." Lastly, what he is writing: if one thinks that politics and religion cannot go together, it means he or she either does not know what politics is or does not know what religion is. You cannot separate them, because they are both politics and religion; they are colored in oneness, in love. To whom? To all. That time was that ethic. So she taught her son, and when the son was only 15 years old, 16, she and her husband gave him the kingdom, and they went. They said, "Now our time is gone to renounce, and we will go to some caves and meditate." The young child said, "Mother, if I am ever unhappy, how will I send you a message? Can you give me your address? Or I will be very happy and have some event to celebrate. How will I invite you or send you a message?" She said, "Yes, my son, I give you my address. I give you what you want." And she gave him one ring, and inside the ring was written: "This will also pass away. This will also go away." So he said, "Mother, what does this mean?" She said, "When you are unhappy, then come to mother's lap. And these are the words of your mother: 'Yeh bhī chalā jāyegā.' This sorrow, this pain, these troubles also will pass away. Now prepare for happiness. And sometimes, when you will be very happy and overjoyed, look at the ring, because you want to run to the mother and say, 'Mother, mother, how happy I am.' This is my answer, dear: yeh bhī chalā jāyegā." So yeh din chale jayenge, aur hum bhi chale jayenge—this day will pass, we will pass. But who will stay behind? How will they live? They will stand with empty hands, thinking, "My parents or my Gurudev did not give me that wisdom." So you have to listen. So there are many prayers, many ways to be happy. And so our dear holy Gurujī said in this bhajan: "The best to purify the karma is Deepa Niranjana Sabaduka Banjan." Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Sīmā. O Vemana Manjana Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana. Mahāprabhū Deepā, the incarnation, divine incarnation, Bhagavān Śrī Deepā Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. And Holy Gurujī said this mantra: Prabhu Dīpā Nirañjan, Prabhu Bhūmaṇḍal. Bhūmaṇḍal—this is called our earth. On this earth, which incarnation comes? Nirguṇa says, "Saguṇa banāī." From the nirguṇa, they come, manifest themselves in the form of saguṇa. Form leads to form. Where? On this earth. So, who is coming to this Bhū-maṇḍala? We call Prabhu, Parabrahma incarnated on this Bhū maṇḍala. That is the light of God, Deep. Niranjan is pure. That pure cosmic light descended on this planet in the form of Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. This mantra, this Nema, Prabhudeep Niranjan Śabdak Bhañjan, removes all the trouble, all the pain. Yes, the experiences of 78 years of our beloved Satguru Dev Swami Madhavānandajī. He practiced his mantras, you can say, in the last 20 years, day and night. Though he was sleeping, still his mālā was moving in his hands. Gurujī’s tapasyā, Gurujī’s devotion, and Gurujī’s wisdom; Gurujī’s bhajans, Gurujī’s appearance, and Gurujī’s radiance. My God, like a sun, the light has come. So, Holy Gurujī repeats this mantra, and he tells us this: what is that? Prabhu deepa niranjan sab dukha bhanjan, isi mantra se hove man manjan. Through this mantra, your mind will be purified. All the negative thoughts, all the negativity, all the dirt will be washed away. All will be enlightened. What is in the darkness will be enlightened. Prabhudeep Niranjan Sabduk Bhanjan Ishi Mantra Se Hove Maha Manmanjan Herde Kamal Ki Aakhe Kul Jave. It opens the eye of your heart. What is that? Mercy. Holy heart. When the people asked Hanumanjī, "You always said, 'My God is in my heart.' Can you show us?" And Hanumanjī tears his chest, and what is inside? Rāma and Sītā both are sitting in the heart. That is a holy heart, and the same thing, Jesus gave his holy heart. Every incarnation is doing the same thing. Hanumanjī was a great incarnation. He was a Śiva. Once Shiva comes in service to Vishnu, and once Vishnu comes in service to Shiva. Hṛde kamal kī āṅkh kul jāve jo ḍāle nīta nemā kā añjan. If you put the ointment of this mantra, this name, this mantra, as ointment in your heart, then practice your mantra from the heart. Hirde kamal kī āṅkh kul jāve. This mantra you should practice. You can drive a car, practice, and sing. What happens when I open the eye of the heart? Viśvadīpa jyoti urme jāge... Abhayapada Pave Kateshava Vandana, Yabhayapada Kateshava Vandana, Sridipa. In your heart, the cosmic light will awake. Which cosmic light? Light of God, light of knowledge, light of wisdom. In every heart, God lives. The light of God is in every heart. But my adoration is to that heart in which this Viśvadīp Jyoti awakes and speaks to us. That is adorable. Sabbandhan abhaya padh. Padh means position. Padh means the level of the consciousness. Abhaya means fearless, not scared. Let them say what they say. Let them talk what they want. Let him write what he writes. You email, SMS, anything. Those who will throw dust on the sun, all will fall on their own head. Do not let anything touch you, because you are a light outside the darkness. And now, darkness has made a union, what? They said, "We will go and attack the light and make all darkness there." And the light is there, a little tiny light flame. Now, the whole union of the darkness is coming through the door in and disappeared. Where are they? They cannot touch the light. So when this cosmic light awakes in your heart, viśva dīp, jyoti urme jāge. Viśva is the universe, dīp is the light, jyoti is the big light, urme is the heart, jāge means awakening. Abhay padpave—that person who got self-realization is not scared of immortality. Kattesab bandhan—bandhan means all the bandages of the saṃsāra. Then you are free, nirākāra, nirañjanam. What happens then? Put off your computers, two-two you can take. Thousand photos, but do not make 2-2. Graha gochar kā tāp nahīṁ lāge, gochar kā tāp nahīṁ lāge. Bhūta pretakā bhāge, saba pāṇḍanā, bhūta pretakā bhāge, saba pāṇḍanā. Śrī dīpa nirañjana, prabhu dīpa nirañjana. It means the influence of different planets will not disturb you. Yes, it will have some kind of effect on you, but it will not disturb you. Because the Viśva Dīpa Jyoti is with you, the darkness cannot come. No troubles from that side. Bhūta is the ghost. Preta is the spirit. If there are negative energies, ghosts, and this and that, they will not come to you. They will always remain outside, like darkness outside. Try to come in, into this hall. And there is a light, and that does not trouble us at all. So, bhūta, preta, all go there, where those who have negative energy, who have negative thoughts, who begin to destroy something and talk badly about others. Then this means already Rāhu, Ketu and Śani. They attack that person to destroy. How? Tulsidājī said in Rāmāyaṇa, when the negative constellation will attack you, then you have viparīta buddhi. Viparīta means opposite. What you were doing always, now you turn to the other direction to that, because now the troubles are waiting for you, my dear. Like a cat is waiting behind the door for the mouse. The mouse is enjoying going in the kitchen and this piece of bread, and... There is chocolate and this and that. When a cat is waiting and looking, let him enjoy a little, anyhow. This big chocolate will also go into my stomach. And so, that is bad luck, because you turned opposite. You began to criticize the things, and this will destroy you. So bhūta pretaka bhageśava pāṇḍan—all these troubles go away. Mantra se hove mana manjana, isi mantra se hove mana manjana. Sri-dīpa-nirañjana, prabhu-dīpa-nirañjana. Vichala sukha-pāve brahmānandaṁ, avichala sukha-pāve brahmānandaṁ. Sri-dīpa-niravidi, dīpa-niravidi, dīpa-niravidi,... d The mantra protects you from the physical, the mental, and the astral attacks of other creatures, the mental problems, and the... astral, the illnesses. You are protected from all these, and after this life, you are in the Niranjana, in purity. Is he mantra? Say, "Ho, a man, a man, young deep Niranjan, sabha dukkha banjana." Read this: "Siddhi, Sukha, Sampati Pave, Nama Sumaran Se Kaya Hove Kanchan." Nāma Sumaraṇa Se Kāya Hove Kañcana Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Saha. 2. Siddhis are perfections, and riddhis are what we call the wealth, prosperity—not just wealth. Prosperity means not only material, but prosperity has many, many other aspects: happiness, health, and so on. Exactly, Hṛddhi-Śiddhi words I will explain to you perhaps next time; I have to find exactly the sense. Riddhi Siddhi Sukh Sampati Pave. Sukha means happiness, and Sampati means prosperity or harmony in life. Through this mantra, "Riddhi Siddhi Sukh Sampati Pave, Nama Sumaraṇa Se Kāya Hove Kañcan," even our body becomes pure and free from many diseases, becoming Kañcan, like gold. Though the body has five elements, we will have some vikāras, we will be ill, and so on. But in this body is that divine soul, that spiritual, enlightened soul, and that is radiating through this body. That is indescribable. So, regularly disciplined at the particular time. If you will repeat this, make your five mālās. It does not take a long time. Deep Niranjan, Sabduk Banjan, Deep Niranjan, Sabduk Banjan,... You see, five minutes go so quickly. With your friends, you telephone and hang on the telephone longer than this, so that time goes so quickly. And then you say, "Oh, my telephone bill is so high," but how many minutes did you talk? Not long. You look, it was 56 minutes, and in this 56 minutes you can do 11 mālās. Oṁ prabhu dīpa nirañjana śabdok bhañjana... Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Śabdoka Bhañjana. How many? Thousands go, or slowly sing: "Prabhu dīpa nirañjana śabdoka bhañjana, Prabhu dīpa nirañjana śabdoka bhañjana." If you will practice discipline, then you will have darśana of Mahāprabhujī, darśana of Devapurījī. You will have darśana of your ātmā; that is what we call ātma-sākṣātkāra. Self-realization means you see your Ātmā. And when you become self-realized, at that time, Devī, Devatā, Kāreśa Vandana—at that time all the different goddesses, they will adore you. When you appear in the universe, they will throw flowers for you, bow down, and greet you because you are that divine Ātmā already manifested on this earth as a mortal being. And from mortal, you realize the immortal. What a beautiful thing. And this is hard work, my dear. It will not be done by next week. You have to practice and follow the disciplines in living, in eating, in drinking, in sleeping, in walking, in talking, in writing, and in thinking and acting, and what not. So turn life in the other direction. It is not difficult. Just give the back gear. Turn your car from the right direction again to the right direction. Your GPS will say again, "Counting, new counting. Calculating, new calculating." So when you change your spiritual path, then a new calculation comes for your karma, and you have no more time. Maybe by turning back, accidents happen. Therefore, be on the right track. That is a Gurudev who shows you the path. Do not change your altar again and again in your heart, and do not change your opinion always. Do not let darkness come in your actions. And... Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī is immortal light, immortal eternal light. He is merciful. Deep Dayālā, a merciful one. Akhanda Ujala, the unbreakable—it means everlasting, immortal light. Bali Bali Jao Chandan Nandan—my adoration to him again and again. To whom? The son of Chandan Devī, who is the Holy Mother. Her name was Chandan Devī. So Bali Bali Jao Chandan Nandan—O Holy Mother, my adoration to thee and to thy godly son. Śrī Mādhavānanda ke ānanda bhaya bhārī, Śrī Mādhavānanda ke ānanda bhaya bhārī. Śrī Mādhavānanda sumara sumara padhapaya, brahmanandana sumarasu. Śrīdipani ranjana sabadhu, pravdipani ranjana sabadhu, isi mantra se hove man manjana. Hove man manjan sridipani ranjana sabadhu Dev Narayan Bhagwan. Our universally perceived Satguru Dev Swami Madhavanandaji said, "Madhavanandaki Anandbhaya Bhaari." Bhaarī means immense. Holy Gurujī said, "Ānanda, I got immense of Ānanda. Which one? How?" While repeating and repeating this mantra, I attained the highest position in Brahman. Brahmanan, the bliss of the Brahman. So, my dear, purifying of the karma is not so difficult. Just dare to jump into the river and clean all your dirt. The river is flowing here, and that water where you dip in is not anymore here; it is gone. You cannot dip twice, only once in that river, in that water. You go, dive in and out. The water is gone. You cannot anymore say, "I want to again jump in the same water." New water will come. So this is diving into this saṃsāra. You dive in, you burn, and again you will come out, gone. Samsara is gone. Next time, he knows in which life you will come. So enjoy, take the opportunity, and bathe in spirituality. Wish you all the best, and I pray to Mahāprabhujī to bless you.
