Journey of the soul, Perth, Australia

The soil of this land is sandalwood, a place of penance where every divine idol represents the eternal child.

This body is a temple. Life is a brief drama of coming and going. The soul undergoes births: entering water, vegetation, a male body, a womb, and finally physical birth. Destiny is created by our own actions; once an action leaves our hands, it becomes our fate, returning like a boomerang. The cycle of rebirth is like a leaf falling; it may not return to the same branch, but through recycling, it returns in some form. Life lasts only a few days—yesterday and today. Therefore, live in harmony without conflict. Spiritual practice involves pure thought and can influence planetary forces affecting our destiny.

"Every action will have a reaction, and every reaction will have an action. That is a circle in this universe."

"Life in this world and in the astral world is something very peculiar, very mysterious. But it returns back."

The soil of this country is sandalwood. Every village is a land of penance. The idol of every Bālā Devī is the child of the child Rām, the child of the child Rām. Yah śarīra mandira sa pāvana hara mānava upakārī hai, jahaṁ siṁgha ban gaye thailanī gāye, jahaṁ mā pyārī hai. Jahaṁ saverā śaṅkha bajātā, lorī gātī śāma hai. Hara Bālā Devī kī pratimā baccā baccā Rāma hai. Baccā baccā Rāma ke sainika samara bhūmī gāyā karte Gītā hai. Jahaṁ kheta meṁ halke nīce khela karatī Sītā hai, jīvana kā ādarśa jahāṁ para parameśvara kā dhāma hai. Hara balā devī kī pratimā, baccā baccā Rāma hai, baccā baccā Rāma. Jahāṁ karma se bhāgya badalate, śrama niṣṭhā kalyāṇī hai. The songs of sacrifice and penance are the words of a singer and a poet. The Gaṅgā Jalsa of the world of knowledge is Nirmalā and Abhirāma. The idol of Hārbālā Devī is Baccā Baccā Rām. Candana hai isa deśa kī māṭī, tapo bhūmi hara grāma hai, hara bālā devī kī pratimā, baccā baccā Rāma, baccā baccā Rāma. Candana hai isa deśa kī māṭī, tapo bhūmi hara grāma hai, Karbalā Devī kī pratimā, baccā baccā Rāma hai, Baccā baccā Rāma, baccā baccā Rāma, baccā baccā Rāma. The transmission of the soul when it goes from the body out into the astral world—the Upaniṣad describes how that astral being, the astral body, the astral soul, through the clouds and the rain, enters into the vegetation. It enters into the seeds, and then through the seeds into the body of a creature. And then, into the mother’s body, it develops another body. This is the development. So our birth, the first birth of the soul, is already when we enter from the astral world into this physical element, what we call ap, water. The second birth is when we enter into the grains, into vegetation. The third birth is when we enter into the humans or the male energy body. And the fourth birth is when we enter into the mother’s womb. And the fifth birth is when we are born from the mother’s womb. So the life circle, life is a mystery. It’s very interesting. You close your eyes and you see how your ancestors are wandering, or how they are going and coming. You sit on the beach and you see everything. Definitely, you see where they are now, which station they are at, which level, and so on. Then you can help them. Pralabdha pehale racā, phira racā śarīra. This is a very, very important śloka. Prārabdha is destiny. We all have different destinies, and destiny is caused individually. Destiny is caused by the individual. My destiny is different from your destiny because I am responsible for my destiny. And destiny is the product of our actions, karma. And karma, action, is in our hands. I have this, some material or this stone in my hand. It is in my hand. If I wish, I can put it here, or if I wish, I can throw it. Still, it is in my decision, in my will, under my control. But as soon as I throw it away, then I can’t run behind to catch it. It will hit that target, that point. So what is gone from hand is not anymore in our hands. People say it is in the hands of God or in the hands of someone, in destiny. But that has become destiny. We call it bhāgya. Hatho se bhāgyā gayā. Nikal gayā, chalā gayā. Gone from your hands, but you have done that. And this becomes your destiny, and sooner or later, that will come back to you. It will take you there. Every action will have a reaction, and every reaction will have an action. That is a circle in this universe. So you have this small weapon in Australia, the boomerang. And when you throw it, then it will come back to you. That’s it. That is the circle. It’s going, coming. So, where you will come, you don’t know. You have a beautiful house here in Perth. You built a nice house, everything according to your choice. And you say, after death, I will again be born in this house. Forget it. Unfortunately, it’s not like this. Otherwise, perhaps things could be a little easier. So the one wise man said, "Pattā ṭūṭā ḍāla se," one leaf falls down from the branch. "Legāyī pavana udāī," the wind has taken away. "Ab ke bichhaḍe kab milenge?" This separation, when will we come together again? Do you believe that leaf will fall down from that branch, will come again and stick there? Yes, I saw it. I was surprised. Not only all leaves, they come back out of the tree, and they go back there. You don’t believe me, but I can make you believe. And you will believe that I saw it. You know, when the strong wind came and leaves were falling, someone made the video. And then, rewinding the plane, the whole leaves came back. You believe me? Thank you. So now, if this leaf which fell down can come back to the same branch, or the same spot, or the same place, then you can also believe that after death, if there is a next life, then you will be born again in the same family and same house and in a human body. Pattā ṭūṭā ḍāla se, the leaf falls down from the branch. Legī pavana udāī, the wind has taken away. And that wind is our destiny, my dear. That is the destiny. Therefore, enjoy your life. Enjoy. Be happy. Don’t fight with your wife. Don’t fight with your husband. Don’t fight with your children, with the neighbors, with society, with other countries. Enjoy, happy. God gave us these few days, two days, to live together in harmony. Only two days of life. And these two days are: one day was yesterday, and the second day is today. Tomorrow, no one has seen. Till today, no one has seen tomorrow. Every day is today. Why are we fighting? And you know, when a family member dies, then we think, "Oh, we could have done this better or that better, this and that." Then everything comes back to your mind and memories. Yes, now you miss that person. This life is just for some seconds, a short period, this life. Again we came and we will go. Yeh chārā chārī kā khelā. This is a drama of creatures, a beautiful drama. Every creature plays its role very nicely. Yeh charā charī kā khelā jag meṁ do dina kā hai melā. In this world, there are only two days of festival. Koī calā gayā, someone has gone. Koī calā jāyegā, someone will go. Someone has just packed the luggage and is standing alone to depart. Which luggage? Karma, destiny. Gone, gone. Oh my darling, lost and gone forever. That’s it. So life in this world and in the astral world is something very peculiar, very mysterious. But it returns back. That leaf which falls down will go to the recycling process, and sooner or later, sometime, maybe, it will return in some form to that tree, and it will grow in it again. Do you believe in the recycling process or not? If you believe in recycling, then you must believe in rebirth. The word "recycling" has been taken from rebirth. And so this Prahlāda Pralhāda Rāja, first is done our karma, destiny, lifelong. God gave you free hands, do whatever you want to do, human, do it, good or bad, everything is. You have two decisions. God gave freedom to the humans: do what you like. But there are two ways, up or down. Decide where you want to go, and then you will get the slaps of your destiny. Again, come back to this world. Don’t be afraid, even you. Die, okay? Just you die, that’s all. Because one dies only once in life, you know, so don’t be afraid. You will die only once, and then you will have a beautiful view from up. All views, you know? Oh, the world is another view. You come again back through. This many, many process through the astral world, again you come to this beautiful world. Lord Kṛṣṇa said, "Then through the moonlight, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar, that life." Our life is very much connected with the moon system. In this solar system in which we are existing, there are many, many systems, many processes. Our health is not depending only on our physical planet, this planet. Also, there are other planets which are influencing our health, our planet, our mind, the mind of the politicians, this war, and everything. Many planets are there, playing many roles, you know, and that is that. And through mantras, we can change certain influences of some planets. And that’s why every individual has another constellation according to their śikṣā, their destiny, their karma, their luck or bad luck. So spirituality means pure, pure thinking, pure thoughts, pure nourishment.
