Mystery Of The Universe
A satsang on Hanuman Jayanti exploring consciousness, incarnation, and the nature of the universe.
"Hanumanjī is also known as the incarnation of Śiva." "That insensible entity, which we cannot comprehend with our senses, is the root cause and support of this entire creation."
Swami Mahajanandji begins the morning discourse on the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti, explaining different types of divine incarnations and the principles of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (creative energy). He is joined by His Excellency Shri Gaurī Śaṅkar Gupta, the Indian Ambassador to Hungary, who speaks on the mysteries of the universe, using scientific analogies to describe the power of subtle elements like space, time, and the universal consciousness (Brahman) that pervades all creation.

| 00:00:05 | So, Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Devīśvar Mahādeva Kī Dharm |
| 00:00:15 | Samrāṭ Satguru Swāmī Mahājānānjī Bhagavān Kī Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Aur |
| 00:00:25 | Gajananjī Mahārāj Kī Good morning. |
| 00:00:36 | Today is a very, very special day, an auspicious day, |
| 00:00:50 | a divine day, because today is the full moon, Pūrṇimā. |
| 00:01:03 | And the day of the incarnation of Hanumānjī. |
| 00:01:14 | We call Hanumānjī Jayantī. |
| 00:01:18 | Hanuman Jayanti, the anniversary or the day of his incarnation. |
| 00:01:30 | Hanumanjī is also known as the incarnation of Śiva. |
| 00:01:42 | As I told you many times, there are different kinds of incarnations. |
| 00:01:55 | Nitya Avatāra and Nimit Avatāra. |
| 00:02:02 | Nitya means every day or very often. |
| 00:02:12 | Nimit only for a particular purpose. |
| 00:02:23 | So in Nityāvatāra come all the holy saints. |
| 00:02:32 | Or what we call Satgurus. |
| 00:02:38 | Nimit avatāra comes in every yuga, or maybe twice in the yuga. |
| 00:02:53 | As yesterday our Arjun Purī was singing, the boy, |
| 00:03:06 | From the 14th chapter, where Kṛṣṇa is saying, |
| 00:03:16 | "Whenever dharma grows weak |
| 00:03:25 | and adharma is suppressed, then, in every yuga, |
| 00:03:36 | I come to destroy the āsurī śakti, protect the bhaktas, |
| 00:03:48 | and again bring the kingdom of the sanātana dharma, or the dharma." |
| 00:03:59 | We know the trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva. |
| 00:04:13 | First in the universe is Śiva. That's called Swayambhu. |
| 00:04:24 | Shiva means light. Shiva means the truth. |
| 00:04:31 | Shiva means the consciousness. Shiva means the liberation. |
| 00:04:38 | And at the same time, Kṛṣṇa said, |
| 00:04:44 | "Time to time, I manifest myself through yoga-śakti." |
| 00:04:54 | And that śakti is that energy which is in the entire universe. |
| 00:05:06 | So that's why we call Śiva and Śakti. |
| 00:05:12 | Shiva is the consciousness, and Shakti is the maintenance. |
| 00:05:23 | Not in the way we literally understand. Here, women are |
| 00:05:31 | the Śakti and man is the Śiva; this is wrong. |
| 00:05:41 | There is nothing to say about gender. |
| 00:05:48 | Therefore, Shiva himself proves that he is Gaurī Śaṅkar. |
| 00:05:59 | And now His Excellency's name is also Gaurī Śaṅkar. |
| 00:06:06 | Yes, so the half is Gaurī and half is Śaṅkar. |
| 00:06:20 | Shankar is Śiva, and Gaurī is Śakti. |
| 00:06:28 | In every, for example in every male, there is more the Gaurī Śakti. |
| 00:06:38 | And in every female there is a more Śaṅkar Śakti. |
| 00:06:51 | Always, that male is more in the memories, |
| 00:06:56 | feelings into the Śakti, in the Gaurī. |
| 00:07:01 | A férfiban mindig erősebbek a gaurī, a śakti emlékei, érzései. |
| 00:07:08 | And the females have more of that tendency, and it is |
| 00:07:12 | stronger in the male, and they are always attracted towards the male. |
| 00:07:16 | A nőkben pedig erősebben benne vannak a |
| 00:07:21 | férfi tendenciák, ezért vonzódnak is a férfihoz. |
| 00:07:25 | There is one coin. Van egy pénzérme. |
| 00:07:29 | And this coin is originated from this earth, so earth is stronger. |
| 00:07:40 | And this is a little stronger. So when we throw up, it comes back down. |
| 00:07:50 | Why? Because that always goes to its origin, |
| 00:07:57 | more so there. What we call gravity, where we call attraction. |
| 00:08:18 | If it is completely separated, the creation will stop. |
| 00:08:26 | So this is the material world. |
| 00:08:28 | But of course, that consciousness is representing Śiva. |
| 00:08:40 | Satyam, Śivam, Sundaram. Satyam means truth. |
| 00:08:48 | Shivam means Shiva, truth and Satyam, Shivam. |
| 00:08:54 | Sundaram means beauty. |
| 00:08:55 | So this, the Brahma, Satya, Jagat, Mithyā, is indicated to the Śiva. |
| 00:09:13 | Satyam, Brahma, Satyam, Jagat, Mithyā. |
| 00:09:18 | Shivam, that Shiva, Swayambhu, the consciousness. |
| 00:09:27 | Sundaram, that is a beauty. So that is the beauty of the entire universe. |
| 00:09:41 | Then where was the necessity of the śakti? |
| 00:09:48 | It is said that consciousness has no desires. |
| 00:09:56 | Consciousness has no desires at all, and matter can't do anything. |
| 00:10:04 | Then, how does the creation take place? |
| 00:10:11 | And therefore, there is between the energy, the Śakti, |
| 00:10:19 | and that means activities, creative movements. So, |
| 00:10:29 | when that movement is united with |
| 00:10:38 | the consciousness, then there is life. So, what moves? |
| 00:10:44 | Is life as long as your heart is moving, pumping? |
| 00:10:51 | You are still alive because the consciousness is also there. |
| 00:10:58 | What moves is the life, and when it |
| 00:11:05 | is not moving, it is death. |
| 00:11:11 | But the question is, does our car also have a consciousness? |
| 00:11:22 | The car is also moving, no, but |
| 00:11:28 | that doesn't have that consciousness. So that |
| 00:11:33 | pure consciousness is in the life where God has entered himself, |
| 00:11:47 | so each tree, every leaf of the trees, |
| 00:11:52 | has the consciousness; it is in the lower level. |
| 00:12:00 | But it doesn't matter, the fire. There are many different kinds of fire, |
| 00:12:07 | and the strongest fire tattva is in the water, in the ocean. |
| 00:12:23 | That we call dhāva agni. So agni in śāstras is a fire. |
| 00:12:34 | And one kind of fire is what we call a physical fire, |
| 00:12:38 | visible with our eyes. Now, also lightning, clouds from where the |
| 00:12:52 | fire comes, so it's called Dava Agni. |
| 00:12:56 | That is when, very cold, the whole tree begins to burn. |
| 00:13:08 | Lava Agni, the Vulcans. |
| 00:13:15 | Then it's called Chitta Agni, when the dead body is burned. |
| 00:13:29 | The Havana Agni, when you make the yajñas. The jāṭharāgni in the body, |
| 00:13:37 | the digestive fire; krodhāgni, |
| 00:13:45 | the fire of anger; kāmāgni, |
| 00:13:51 | the fire of passion; and also it's called vairāgni, |
| 00:13:59 | the fire of longing, the devotion. |
| 00:14:04 | All great saints are all poets and |
| 00:14:12 | Writers who write something which is very emotional. |
| 00:14:28 | Very touching. |
| 00:14:32 | You would like to read again and again what is written there. |
| 00:14:37 | That's called viraha. |
| 00:14:41 | Mahāprabhujī's entire one book is called the Padāviraṇī book. |
| 00:14:51 | Mīrās, all bhajans, they are on the viraha. |
| 00:14:58 | Surdas bhajans are also viraha bhajans. |
| 00:15:03 | When the God Kṛṣṇa went back to Veṅkuṇḍa. |
| 00:15:09 | Then all the gopīs and gopas were unhappy. |
| 00:15:19 | They said Kṛṣṇa had 16,000 gopīs. It means 16,000 female disciples. |
| 00:15:31 | But there were double gopīs, the male disciples. But in Kali Yuga, |
| 00:15:39 | Kali-yuga is the yuga of the women, |
| 00:15:44 | and therefore we emphasize more the female energy. |
| 00:15:52 | When you have a particular government, then you are on that side, |
| 00:15:55 | and when you have a particular government, you are more on that side. |
| 00:16:05 | But there is equalness. There is no imbalance. |
| 00:16:11 | We call first Gaurī Śaṅkar; we don't say Śaṅkar Gaurī. No one has the name |
| 00:16:24 | Śaṅkar Gaurī because first is the mātṛ devo bhava. Mother is the first. |
| 00:16:32 | We say Lakṣmī Nārāyaṇa; we don't say Nārāyaṇa Lakṣmī. |
| 00:16:43 | Or we say Sītā Rāma, first Sītā, then Rāma. |
| 00:16:53 | So similarly, there is equality. So Virahāgni, when God Kṛṣṇa |
| 00:17:01 | went back, always said all were crying. So Kṛṣṇa had one good friend. |
| 00:17:19 | And one of the gopīs was crying and asked Uddhava. |
| 00:17:29 | Uddhava was Krishna's friend also. So, Gopī, this is Sūrya Dās is writing. |
| 00:17:41 | And singing. |
| 00:17:44 | Hi Uddhava, please tell me, what is the difference between Yoga and Vyoga? |
| 00:17:57 | When you realize the yoke, you become one. |
| 00:18:11 | And yoke means separation. |
| 00:18:16 | When you are separated, then again you are one, alone. |
| 00:18:19 | You say that I am lonely. Finally, you have to become alone, one. |
| 00:18:34 | Because only that one is the truth. Finally, Eko Brahma. |
| 00:18:42 | To tenacity, where there are two, is not reality. |
| 00:18:47 | It doesn't matter how much you |
| 00:18:51 | love or how deep a relation you have, even like a mother and child, |
| 00:18:56 | sooner or later one day it will be separated. |
| 00:19:05 | That's why Vedānta doesn't believe in these duality things, |
| 00:19:14 | because there is only unity, one. But that one in all, |
| 00:19:26 | That consciousness, Śiva consciousness, is in everything. |
| 00:19:35 | And everything is one. |
| 00:19:39 | So Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā are called the trinity. Viṣṇu and Brahmā, |
| 00:19:46 | they are the holy three. According to the Mahāśivapurāṇa, it is |
| 00:19:53 | Brahmā and Śiva who also manifest and create Viṣṇu. |
| 00:20:04 | And tells Vishnu, "Go and make tapasya." |
| 00:20:13 | And out of that tapasyā fire comes the water element. |
| 00:20:22 | When it's very hot, you are sweating. |
| 00:20:33 | Fire brings water out, and you are freezing very cold. |
| 00:20:42 | As it becomes colder, your hand begins to burn. |
| 00:20:48 | You hold the snowball. The beginning is cool, |
| 00:20:53 | and then it's like your hands are burning. |
| 00:21:01 | And then it is said that from the navel of the Viṣṇu comes the lotus. |
| 00:21:16 | Then Shiva creates or manifests as Brahma. |
| 00:21:26 | And Brahma, Shiva asked Brahma to take a seat on this lotus. |
| 00:21:37 | When the creation and Śreṣṭhikī Rāṭchanākaru |
| 00:21:41 | now make the creation, so it is not right |
| 00:21:48 | that one said |
| 00:21:49 | Brahmā is born from Viṣṇu's navel through the lotus. That's wrong. |
| 00:22:04 | As you remember, last time His Excellency spoke about body, |
| 00:22:10 | mind, energy, |
| 00:22:20 | and how the soul is coming, the water element. |
| 00:22:28 | So first, where the jīvā is, the soul, that is as a seed, as a Viṣṇu. |
| 00:22:44 | And he is the protector. |
| 00:22:47 | So this Veṅkuṇḍa, or the Milky Ocean, again is a mother body. |
| 00:23:01 | And in that body, the embryo is developing, and that embryo is a lotus. |
| 00:23:11 | And then comes the buddhi, intellect, the Brahmā, the creation. |
| 00:23:23 | So, in this trinity, Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva, |
| 00:23:31 | Like here we have our parliament, our law, there is also cosmic law. |
| 00:23:38 | There is understanding. So one time, |
| 00:23:44 | when in one yuga when incarnation comes, Viṣṇu is coming. |
| 00:23:55 | That time, Shiva comes to take care of it. And when Shiva is incarnating, |
| 00:24:04 | then Viṣṇu is coming in the Śiva. |
| 00:24:09 | So, when the God Rāma, as a Viṣṇu incarnation, |
| 00:24:17 | Now, there is one movement called Hare Krishna. |
| 00:24:26 | They are singing Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma. |
| 00:24:31 | But they do not mean that God, Rāma. They are singing to Balarāma, |
| 00:24:37 | the elder brother of Kṛṣṇa. |
| 00:24:43 | Which is not that Viṣṇu incarnation. |
| 00:24:48 | So Rāma is the son of the king Daśaratha, the Raghu dynasty. |
| 00:24:59 | And that Raghu dynasty is the sun dynasty, since the sun. |
| 00:25:02 | That's called Sūryavaṁśa, |
| 00:25:08 | the Sūrya dynasty, and Sūrya, the light, |
| 00:25:14 | is the source of life. So when Bhagavān Rāma incarnated, |
| 00:25:21 | then Hanumānjī will come |
| 00:25:28 | to support, to maintain, to organize, so we see Hanumānjī. |
| 00:25:38 | As an embodiment of Shiva, and finally, |
| 00:25:48 | he manifested as Śiva. When Bhagavān Rāma went |
| 00:25:55 | back to his world, Vaikuṇṭha, or whatever you call Rāmaloka or Śivaloka, |
| 00:26:07 | then Bhagavān Rāma said to Hanumānjī, |
| 00:26:14 | because all the bhaktas of God Rāma, they went with him. |
| 00:26:23 | Into the Brahmaloka, including all the monkeys, |
| 00:26:31 | all the bears, it means that God doesn't love only humans. |
| 00:26:40 | God can liberate and will liberate |
| 00:26:45 | even every creature. God loves every creature. |
| 00:26:53 | In these 24 incarnations, none of that, God. |
| 00:27:01 | Incarnations were eating meat. |
| 00:27:08 | And all these major heads, or |
| 00:27:12 | whatever you call them in different religions, |
| 00:27:17 | they were also vegetarian. |
| 00:27:25 | Buddha was Hindu, and Buddha was a complete vegetarian. |
| 00:27:33 | When Buddha went for bhikṣā, then he was walking |
| 00:27:38 | with one technique, what we call in yoga, Udāsī Mauna. |
| 00:27:51 | Udasi Mauna is like, you look like you are sad. |
| 00:27:58 | And Mauna is silence. |
| 00:27:59 | He was stepping, then looking to see if there were any ants under his feet. |
| 00:28:11 | So if you follow Buddhism, you should not eat meat. |
| 00:28:19 | Muhammad was a Rajput, Kshatriya, warrior. |
| 00:28:23 | And it is said that he was also vegetarian. Jesus was also vegetarian. |
| 00:28:36 | So, do we follow them or not? That's it. |
| 00:28:41 | So all these incarnations, they love God. God loves all creatures. |
| 00:28:51 | All are his children. |
| 00:28:53 | So today, my dear, is the Hanumān Jayantī, and full moon, beautiful, and I |
| 00:29:05 | wish you all the best, and blessings of Hanumānjī, from Śiva, and so on. |
| 00:29:17 | We are very happy and thankful to His Excellency, |
| 00:29:28 | the Ambassador of India to Hungary, Śrī Gaurī Śaṅkar Gupta Jīnaka. |
| 00:29:39 | And Gupta, that means different names and different meanings. |
| 00:29:48 | And Gupta means also hidden, you know, confidential. |
| 00:29:57 | So hidden, so you never know what is hidden in him. |
| 00:30:04 | So he is going to manifest something today. |
| 00:30:09 | So his excellency is representing the Indian government here, India, |
| 00:30:20 | but I would say he is more |
| 00:30:25 | a philosopher and Vedāntic than a politician. |
| 00:30:31 | De én azt mondanám, hogy ő inkább védānta, |
| 00:30:35 | tudós és filozófus, mint sem politikus. |
| 00:30:40 | It is said that only a king can be |
| 00:30:44 | successful who has the yoga vidyā, rāja yoga, and the politics. |
| 00:30:50 | És azt mondják, hogy csak az a király lehet sikeres, |
| 00:30:54 | akiben ott van a yoga vidyā, rāja vidyā és a politika. |
| 00:30:58 | Mahatma Gandhījī writes on the last pages of his life history, biography. |
| 00:31:11 | If one thinks that spirituality or |
| 00:31:14 | religion and politics cannot go together, |
| 00:31:17 | then Gandhijī said, that person does not know |
| 00:31:23 | what religion is and what politics is. |
| 00:31:35 | As I told you yesterday, spirituality and management, |
| 00:31:43 | if there is no spirituality, then management means, now you see |
| 00:31:48 | what is the condition of the world in the economy. |
| 00:32:01 | So, I'm very happy that His Excellency came, and he has written many books. |
| 00:32:11 | And one of his latest books appeared just now. |
| 00:32:19 | And we are going to integrate the book, so ask His Excellency for that. |
| 00:32:32 | You can remain seated; otherwise, the photo will not come. |
| 00:32:53 | Hungarian and English. |
| 00:33:16 | Beautiful. Mystery of life. |
| 00:33:48 | Orange. I'm waiting for your retirement. |
| 00:34:00 | Also, I would like to welcome our dear |
| 00:34:06 | one from Hungary who made a great effort. |
| 00:34:12 | Szívesen üdvözöljük kedves magyar barátunkat, |
| 00:34:15 | aki nagy erőfeszítésekkel és szeretettel dolgozott, |
| 00:34:19 | és ahol szeretettel dolgoznak, ott minden jól megy. |
| 00:34:28 | Nagy erőfeszítéssel megjelentette ezt a |
| 00:34:35 | könyvet magyar és angol nyelven egymással. |
| 00:34:43 | What is your name? Joseph. Joseph. |
| 00:34:54 | Always, when we do something, then we say, |
| 00:35:00 | "Where can I get? Where can I get?" |
| 00:35:06 | So I got you someone who you can get there, direct address. |
| 00:35:11 | So it is published by a publishing house available in, |
| 00:35:14 | I think, all the bookstores in Hungary. |
| 00:35:17 | And sometimes people say, "I want to have a signature, |
| 00:35:20 | I want to have a signature,"so I requested His Excellency. |
| 00:35:24 | If he can sign some books already now. |
| 00:35:27 | So there are some books with his own signatures. |
| 00:35:30 | Mindig azt kérdezik az emberek, hogy hol lehet kapni, hol lehet kapni, |
| 00:35:34 | úgyhogy most a közvetlen eredeti forrást |
| 00:35:36 | itt prezentálom nektek, a kiadó igazgatóját, |
| 00:35:39 | őtől lehet kapni, és azt hiszem, hogy egész |
| 00:35:42 | Magyarországon az összes könyvesboltban kapható ez a könyv. |
| 00:35:46 | És sokan mindig kérik, hogy kérnénk egy aláírást, kérnénk egy aláírást. |
| 00:35:50 | Of course, we don't have a thousand books here. |
| 00:35:58 | In English, they say, "Only the bird finds the first cherry." |
| 00:36:12 | So there are some. So, your excellency, the floor is yours. |
| 00:36:19 | First of all, let me express my sincere gratitude |
| 00:36:27 | to Swāmījī for his very generous and kind words, |
| 00:36:34 | and also for formally launching the book today in |
| 00:36:41 | front of all of you, the devotees of Swāmījī. |
| 00:37:05 | Swamiji has already given you a very profound |
| 00:37:13 | talk on the creation of the universe |
| 00:37:20 | and the oneness, or the singleness, |
| 00:37:25 | of the consciousness which constitutes this universe. |
| 00:37:36 | Now, Swamiji has directed me to speak |
| 00:37:44 | something about the mysteries of the universe. |
| 00:37:51 | So, I will make my attempt to talk to you on this issue a little. |
| 00:37:57 | Like Dala. Like Dala. |
| 00:38:08 | You know, when you sit down in the night |
| 00:38:14 | and look at the vast blue sky above you, |
| 00:38:21 | you see millions of stars, the never-ending sky, |
| 00:38:30 | horizons not to be seen anywhere. |
| 00:38:36 | Now, this universe, which has been described, |
| 00:38:41 | or discovered partly by the scientists, |
| 00:38:53 | It has been admitted by scientists themselves that it's infinite. |
| 00:39:01 | I'll give you some scientific statistics about |
| 00:39:04 | what science says on the universe. |
| 00:39:09 | As of today, science says that only 4% |
| 00:39:13 | of the universe is known to them. |
| 00:39:25 | And do you know how much that 4% constitutes? |
| 00:39:31 | 78 billion light years is the diameter of that 4%. |
| 00:39:41 | And you know what is a light year? |
| 00:39:46 | The distance which sunlight travels in one year. |
| 00:39:57 | In one second, sunlight travels 300,000 kilometers. In one second. |
| 00:40:04 | So in one year, how much will it travel? |
| 00:40:12 | And then in 78 billion years, how much will it travel? |
| 00:40:16 | You can't even imagine. |
| 00:40:30 | Even the most sophisticated computer available today |
| 00:40:33 | cannot make this calculation. |
| 00:40:44 | The science also says that there are at least |
| 00:40:48 | 100 billion galaxies in the known universe, only 4%. The galaxy we live in |
| 00:41:07 | is only one of those galaxies, in which there are many solar systems. |
| 00:41:21 | So each one of the hundred billion galaxies has, |
| 00:41:24 | say, about four hundred billion stars. Each one of them. |
| 00:41:37 | So imagine the enormity of this universe. |
| 00:41:47 | The man has only gone up to the moon, and they have sent a vehicle |
| 00:41:52 | up to Mars, but there are billions and |
| 00:41:54 | billions of Marses and moons around this universe. |
| 00:42:07 | So the question arises, can we really understand this universe? |
| 00:42:13 | Can we understand the mysteries of this universe? |
| 00:42:21 | Yes, we can. Let me give a small example of how. |
| 00:42:33 | You see a huge tree outside in the garden there. |
| 00:42:39 | If you start counting the leaves and branches and the flowers |
| 00:42:43 | and the fruit of the tree, you will end up spending years. |
| 00:42:56 | And then also, you may not find everything out. |
| 00:43:02 | But if you understand the seed of that tree, that small |
| 00:43:06 | little seed can tell you what this tree is all about. |
| 00:43:09 | De hogyha megértitek annak a fának egyetlen egy magját, |
| 00:43:13 | az a mag mindent elmond nektek arról a fáról. |
| 00:43:17 | Look at our own body. We don't understand what the |
| 00:43:20 | human body is all about, what a miracle it is. |
| 00:43:24 | Nézzük a saját testünket, még csak nem is értjük |
| 00:43:27 | a saját testünket sem, nem tudjuk, hogy milyen csodát működtet. |
| 00:43:30 | It is the most miraculous creation of the universe. |
| 00:43:35 | You see, the food we eat is inanimate; it is not alive. |
| 00:43:45 | But it becomes alive as soon as it goes into the body. |
| 00:43:58 | And from this live, conscious body, |
| 00:44:01 | we get these hairs and nails, which are dead. |
| 00:44:05 | So, how do the conscious or animate and |
| 00:44:10 | inanimate exist together in our own body? |
| 00:44:22 | It is said that there are millions of microbes, |
| 00:44:27 | millions of small, small insects in our body. |
| 00:44:34 | They live in our body, millions of them. |
| 00:44:37 | You eat yogurt, and there are millions of |
| 00:44:40 | microbes in that yogurt which you eat. |
| 00:44:50 | So these are the mysteries of creation. How can we understand? |
| 00:44:59 | But these are not so difficult to understand. |
| 00:45:02 | Let me give you some examples to make it clear how we can move forward. |
| 00:45:08 | First of all, we must understand that |
| 00:45:15 | as things become progressively smaller and smaller, |
| 00:45:24 | Subtler and subtler, they become more powerful. |
| 00:45:27 | Először is azt az elvet kell megértenünk, hogy a dolgok, |
| 00:45:33 | minél kisebbek és apróbbak, |
| 00:45:35 | minél finomabbak lesznek, annál erősebbek. |
| 00:45:39 | And the most powerful thing is insensible, |
| 00:45:42 | which cannot be sensed by our sense organs. |
| 00:45:47 | A legerőteljesebb valami pedig az, |
| 00:45:50 | amely érzékelhetetlen az érzékeink számára. |
| 00:45:53 | Let me give you some examples to illustrate these points. |
| 00:45:56 | Eating food is very important for us to survive. |
| 00:46:04 | You can see the food, you can touch it, you can smell it. |
| 00:46:11 | It's sensible. But you can live without food for maybe 60 days. |
| 00:46:22 | But without water, no. Water is more |
| 00:46:29 | important than food. And water is sūkṣma, |
| 00:46:35 | it is thinner, it's more subtle than food. |
| 00:46:45 | How many days can you live without water? Maybe five days, ten days. |
| 00:46:53 | But even more important than water is the air we breathe. |
| 00:47:02 | Air becomes even thinner. You can't even see it; you can't touch it. |
| 00:47:06 | You just feel it when you breathe in. |
| 00:47:17 | How many minutes can we live without air? |
| 00:47:22 | So it becomes more powerful as it becomes thinner. |
| 00:47:26 | Even more thinner than air is the space. |
| 00:47:30 | This is space, empty space, which is surrounding us. |
| 00:47:41 | If this space is not there, none of |
| 00:47:44 | us can even exist, can't even think of existing. |
| 00:47:46 | And science doesn't know what this space |
| 00:47:51 | is; they can't even define what it is. |
| 00:48:03 | But this empty space surrounding us is one |
| 00:48:05 | of the most powerful elements of creation. |
| 00:48:08 | So, as things become thinner and |
| 00:48:13 | more subtle, they become more powerful. |
| 00:48:30 | Let me give you another example of our own body. |
| 00:48:33 | We have this huge, big body, which is very, |
| 00:48:37 | you know, we are proud of all the time. |
| 00:48:40 | One is a not hot almost test in America |
| 00:48:44 | island on all this cake for you, but this |
| 00:48:47 | body is controlled by the senses. If we... |
| 00:48:50 | Don't have eyes, ears, nose, or tongue? |
| 00:48:53 | What will this body be? It will be |
| 00:48:56 | like a vegetable. The *āstā* is tested as so. |
| 00:48:59 | These small senses control the body. |
| 00:49:11 | In old age, when the senses don't work, you become like a vegetable. |
| 00:49:18 | But then, the senses are not that powerful in the body. |
| 00:49:33 | You see, the senses are controlled by the mind. |
| 00:49:42 | It is the mind which sees, it is the mind |
| 00:49:45 | which hears, it is the mind which tastes, not the senses. |
| 00:49:47 | Senses are just means to that. |
| 00:49:58 | All of you have your ears here, |
| 00:50:00 | but you will not be hearing me, listening to me, |
| 00:50:03 | unless your mind is with me. |
| 00:50:13 | And where does the mind exist? It is in the thin air. |
| 00:50:18 | Can you touch it? Can you smell it? Can you hear it? |
| 00:50:27 | No, it is not sensible. It is beyond the perception of sense organs. |
| 00:50:38 | Even beyond mind is intellect, which keeps telling the |
| 00:50:42 | mind what to do and what not to do. |
| 00:50:48 | It keeps telling you, "Do this, don't do this. |
| 00:50:53 | This is good for you, this is not good for you." |
| 00:51:03 | And where does that intellect exist? Can you show me? Can anybody see it? |
| 00:51:13 | So it is more and more subtle, and it becomes more and more powerful. |
| 00:51:19 | Now, Swamijī just said that everybody has that consciousness, |
| 00:51:26 | which is given by God to all of us. |
| 00:51:35 | What is that consciousness? |
| 00:51:36 | That consciousness is even more subtle than the mind, intellect, |
| 00:51:44 | and the space we talked about just now. |
| 00:51:58 | I'll come back to that a little later. |
| 00:52:00 | Let me give you one more example before that. |
| 00:52:01 | You know time. We all talk about time all the time. |
| 00:52:13 | Where does it exist? Can you show me where it exists? |
| 00:52:18 | Can anybody touch it? Can anybody hear it? Can anybody see it? |
| 00:52:24 | Can anybody do that? |
| 00:52:31 | It doesn't exist anywhere. Still, it controls the entire existence. |
| 00:52:43 | With time we become old. We grow every second, you see. |
| 00:52:51 | Why do we grow with every second? It is time which makes us grow |
| 00:52:58 | from fetus to childhood, to young age, to old age. |
| 00:53:01 | Mert az idő az, amely megváltoztat minket |
| 00:53:05 | a csecsemőkorból a kisgyermekkorba, a fiatalkorba, az öregkorba. |
| 00:53:09 | Az idő definiálja a létezésünket az életünk során. |
| 00:53:16 | Bár önmaga nem is létezik sehol. |
| 00:53:21 | So we must realize that things which do |
| 00:53:25 | not exist in our viewpoint do exist somewhere. |
| 00:53:33 | Which our senses are not |
| 00:53:41 | sensible enough, let me tell you that way. |
| 00:53:44 | Our senses are not sensible enough, not powerful enough |
| 00:53:47 | to understand the subtle existence. Now, I was talking about the space, |
| 00:54:00 | how powerful this space is. Let me illustrate it with a few examples. |
| 00:54:04 | Whatever exists in this universe exists in this empty-looking space. |
| 00:54:22 | This air we breathe in, which is essential |
| 00:54:25 | for us, exists here. Can we see it? No. |
| 00:54:35 | The sun's energy, which is the vital energy for the survival of species |
| 00:54:40 | in the universe, is all absorbed in this space. The space has it. |
| 00:54:55 | Why do we feel it has become cold or it has become hot? Because these sun |
| 00:54:59 | rays are more or less in this space. That's why we feel it is cold or hot. |
| 00:55:06 | When you put your clothes here, the water goes out. |
| 00:55:12 | Wet clothes, water goes out; it disappears in this space. |
| 00:55:27 | Millions and billions of tons of water get out of |
| 00:55:31 | the oceans every second and disappear into this space. |
| 00:55:34 | There is a lot of water in this space. |
| 00:55:37 | All the sounds which we talk, they all exist in this space, meticulously. |
| 00:55:57 | You put 100,000 cell phones in this room, and each one of them |
| 00:56:02 | will get its sound exactly the way it is supposed to be. |
| 00:56:11 | How can that happen if there's no intelligence in this space? |
| 00:56:28 | There's a huge 100-story building. It is set on fire. |
| 00:56:33 | It disappears into smoke. Where does that smoke go? |
| 00:56:36 | It disappears into space. |
| 00:56:45 | These are only a few examples; there are many more things. |
| 00:56:54 | And despite all that, if you put your |
| 00:56:56 | remote control here, and there is a TV there, |
| 00:56:58 | it will still get the signal, and your TV will start functioning. |
| 00:57:10 | And all these complex things exist simultaneously in this space. |
| 00:57:14 | Water exists. |
| 00:57:15 | Air exists, dust exists, sounds exist, |
| 00:57:20 | energy exists, and everything works perfectly. |
| 00:57:35 | So this is the power of the insensible. |
| 00:57:37 | Now, imagine the power of something |
| 00:57:46 | even more insensible than space and time. |
| 00:57:56 | That is the power of the universal consciousness |
| 00:58:02 | which Swāmījī was talking about in the beginning. |
| 00:58:06 | That insensible thing, which we cannot understand with our senses, |
| 00:58:13 | is the root cause and root support of this entire creation. |
| 00:58:21 | In the Upanishads, it is called Brahman. |
| 00:58:40 | Which means that it has the capacity to enhance itself infinitely. |
| 00:58:46 | It can grow as large as you can't think of. |
| 00:59:05 | And this is this Brahma which grows into this universe. |
| 00:59:13 | And it can also take it back, like so. This power of the Brahma, |
| 00:59:26 | which is... we most, quite a few people say, "Where does God exist? |
| 00:59:33 | Where does Brahma exist?"They must understand |
| 00:59:36 | the power of the insensible and the process. |
| 00:59:44 | And the process that, as the things become more... |
| 00:59:49 | And more subtle, they become more and more powerful. |
| 00:59:59 | Not only are they powerful, they also become more unified. |
| 01:00:06 | You can separate this table and this sofa, but can you separate this space? |
| 01:00:15 | Space is one unified all over the universe. |
| 01:00:28 | So is time. And the creator of the time and space |
| 01:00:34 | is the one who is even more supreme than that. |
| 01:00:38 | A teremtője ennek a térnek és időnek pedig az, aki még |
| 01:00:43 | felsőbbrendű annál, ez a Brahmā, ez a Śiva, ez az Isten, az, |
| 01:00:57 | amely mindannyiunkban létezik, and that is what we call soul, human soul, |
| 01:01:03 | or the part of the universal consciousness which exists in us. |
| 01:01:09 | Ezt hívjuk emberi léleknek, az egyetemes tudat. |
| 01:01:13 | Azon részének, amely létezik bennünk, amikor meghalunk, |
| 01:01:18 | hogyan halunk meg? Azért, mert ez a |
| 01:01:22 | tudat kimegy a testünkből, és az egész test tehetetlenné válik, meghal. |
| 01:01:25 | Ha meghalunk, hogyan halunk meg? Úgy, |
| 01:01:29 | hogy a lélek elhagyja ezt a testet, és a visszamaradó test... |
| 01:01:33 | Mozdulatlan semmire sem képes már, |
| 01:01:36 | and no medical science, no other science, has been able to identify |
| 01:01:40 | what is that which goes out of the body when a person dies. |
| 01:01:51 | So as soon as that part, that insensible part, |
| 01:01:55 | goes out of the body, the whole big body becomes useless. |
| 01:02:09 | So, in short, this is the mystery of the universe. |
| 01:02:22 | You don't have to go to planets and stars and moons and galaxies |
| 01:02:26 | to discover the mystery of the universe. |
| 01:02:36 | How will you go there? We can't even count the hair on our body. |
| 01:02:40 | Can any scientist correctly count the body here, on our own body? |
| 01:02:55 | It's only counting, not even analyzing |
| 01:02:57 | what it contains and how it happens. |
| 01:03:00 | So no science can really analyze these billions and billions of stars |
| 01:03:12 | and galaxies and planets, and God knows what all exists in that. |
| 01:03:26 | We just need to understand one simple fact. |
| 01:03:30 | That the universal consciousness is beyond the perception of our senses. |
| 01:03:37 | It is the most powerful element which creates this entire universe. |
| 01:03:42 | Csak egy apró tényt kell megértenünk, |
| 01:03:46 | hogy az egyetemes tudat, az túl van az érzékeinken, |
| 01:03:50 | és ez az, ami az egész világ mindenséget alkotja. |
| 01:03:53 | And which also exists in each one of |
| 01:03:57 | us, which we call the Ātmā in our body. |
| 01:04:01 | Now let us also understand the power of |
| 01:04:06 | this ātmā, just briefly, two minutes more, Swāmījī. |
| 01:04:22 | I told you that as soon as this goes out of |
| 01:04:24 | the body, we die. How does it enter into the body? |
| 01:04:27 | In the Bhagavad Purāṇa, it has been very clearly described, |
| 01:04:37 | also in the Bhagavad Gītā, that at the time when the |
| 01:04:47 | sperm starts, when the sperm gets into the body, |
| 01:04:52 | the soul enters through the sperm, and then the conception takes place. |
| 01:04:58 | No conception is possible without the soul. |
| 01:05:01 | Getting into the sperm, into the body. |
| 01:05:17 | Sperm alone cannot grow into a fetus and grow into a body. |
| 01:05:21 | It is the soul which enters the sperm, and then the conception takes place. |
| 01:05:28 | And it is the soul which sustains this body throughout our life. |
| 01:05:49 | And the moment it leaves, we are dead. |
| 01:05:55 | But let us also see, |
| 01:05:56 | every day we experience certain things which we |
| 01:06:00 | do not recognize, we do not give attention to. |
| 01:06:04 | Every day, each one of us experiences that. |
| 01:06:06 | De van valami, amit életünk során mindennap, |
| 01:06:09 | mindannyian megtapasztalunk, noha nem vagyunk tudatában. |
| 01:06:13 | For example, right now, I am in a conscious state. |
| 01:06:16 | I can touch this, I can see you, |
| 01:06:20 | I can feel, I can, you know, listen to you. |
| 01:06:24 | What happens when you are all of a sudden overtaken by sleep? |
| 01:06:37 | You don't know where it comes from, but your body and your senses become |
| 01:06:41 | completely helpless. Where does the sleep come from? |
| 01:06:55 | Even if there's a fire there, the person says, |
| 01:06:58 | "No, no, I'm sleepy, I can't get up." |
| 01:07:06 | All your senses, your big body, become completely helpless. |
| 01:07:18 | And then you go into a state called the state of dreams. |
| 01:07:21 | In which you create, your soul creates, |
| 01:07:26 | your mind creates a new world for you. |
| 01:07:35 | All this world doesn't exist; it disappears. |
| 01:07:41 | A new world is created, and you live in that world as a player. |
| 01:07:45 | Look at the power of the soul. |
| 01:07:51 | It creates a world for you. Every day it creates. |
| 01:08:00 | And then you go into a state of deep sleep, where there are no dreams. |
| 01:08:09 | In that, both the created world and this world disappear completely. |
| 01:08:14 | They don't exist for you. Even the bed you are sleeping on |
| 01:08:25 | does not exist. So that is the power of the soul |
| 01:08:31 | which is given to you. Every day you experience it, each and every day, |
| 01:08:37 | but we do not realize it, |
| 01:08:44 | do not recognize it. So I think... |
| 01:08:49 | I will end here. To understand the mysteries of |
| 01:08:53 | the creation, to understand the mysteries |
| 01:08:56 | of this universe, we must understand the |
| 01:08:59 | power of the insensible and should not |
| 01:09:06 | give too much emphasis on our sense organs, |
| 01:09:15 | because they are not reliable; they are not powerful enough. |
| 01:09:18 | Hurry home. |
| 01:09:28 | Thank you, Your Excellency, |
| 01:09:50 | Śrī Gaurī Śaṅkarjī. It is endless, |
| 01:10:00 | and we should not go somewhere which is ending. |
| 01:10:07 | So we have still to travel through the infinity. |
| 01:10:19 | So our life is a journey, not a destination. |
| 01:10:26 | So we hope that Gaurī Śaṅkarjī will continue with us through the infinity. |
| 01:10:33 | Until we come to the unity. |
| 01:10:45 | Yes. What scientists want to do, just to come to one planet? |
| 01:10:55 | How many millions of dollars do they spend? |
| 01:11:08 | These dollars they can spend on that planet, which is |
| 01:11:13 | a just-born child in a poor family, and support them. |
| 01:11:18 | That will be the best planet. |
| 01:11:31 | Even you can't count the hairs. |
| 01:11:37 | Because until you come to the end, they have already grown new. |
| 01:11:41 | So, thank you very, very much. |
| 01:11:49 | And there are some books in English and some books in Hungarian. |
| 01:11:54 | And I would request some volunteers to stand |
| 01:11:59 | so that there is no crowd in one place. |
| 01:12:05 | Kérnék néhány önkéntest, aki kiáll a könyvek mellé, |
| 01:12:09 | hogy ne legyen nagy tömeg egy helyen. The Mukti from Slovenia |
| 01:12:13 | has a birthday today. All the best. Satya Devi Borek from Budapest has |
| 01:12:20 | a birthday, and his son was born. So, they have spent 70,000 forint |
| 01:12:27 | for one prasāda. Thank you very much, and all the best. And one... |
| 01:12:33 | And one Babīch Mūlder Maida, Suraj Devī also |
| 01:12:42 | has a Yoga and Daylife Diploma, so please come. |
| 01:13:04 | I wish you all the best and a good journey. |
| 01:13:06 | There was a question yesterday about this |
| 01:13:10 | baby who doesn't want to eat anything, |
| 01:13:13 | only a little mother's milk, |
| 01:13:17 | and it's already more than two years old. |
| 01:13:21 | Don't worry. Leave it as it is. |
| 01:13:23 | Feed mother as long as you have some liquid. |
| 01:13:27 | And there were some other questions |
| 01:13:36 | about diet, which I spoke about yesterday. |
| 01:13:51 | There's a question. |
| 01:14:04 | Maybe this is a question for Śrī Gaurī Śaṅkarjī. I can't read it. |
| 01:14:08 | As a care, there's no Russian country. |
| 01:14:11 | Who is it? It fits. We are subject to the TMA |
| 01:14:14 | house up to logic. Short time again, |
| 01:14:26 | the emptiness beyond the space is filled by |
| 01:14:39 | diodine existence. That is what somebody has |
| 01:14:42 | said from science, and then what is? |
| 01:14:45 | Beyond that existence, can they explain to me? |
| 01:14:48 | And what is beyond that existence? |
| 01:14:51 | There can be no answer to that. |
| 01:14:55 | It's an infinite process. And if nothing exists beyond that, |
| 01:15:10 | what do you mean by that? So this is a question. |
| 01:15:18 | Which cannot be answered by science. Once you will think a little more, |
| 01:15:28 | you will realize that this has no meaning at all. Thank you. |
| 01:15:42 | There is one question. One person has lost one kidney |
| 01:15:48 | and practiced āsanas, yes, carefully. |
| 01:15:49 | So one question that you have against schizophrenia and some... |
| 01:15:55 | Psychic disorders, which asanas, I think, have to be constantly under |
| 01:16:01 | medical care, and don't meditate, don't make prānayāms too much, |
| 01:16:07 | but make the physical exercises and go for a walk. |
| 01:16:20 | You have to be in a state of deep meditation. |
| 01:16:28 | You should not practice meditation, you should |
| 01:16:32 | not practice pranayama, and you should walk. |
| 01:17:26 | Okay, thank you very much, and time is not existing at all. |
| 01:17:38 | Because time is man-made. There is no time. |
| 01:17:46 | But there is no time, but there is movement. |
| 01:17:53 | So we think that is the time, so something is growing. |
| 01:18:01 | So that growth we may call somehow counted. |
| 01:18:04 | So there is no time, but the sun doesn't stop to turn. |
| 01:18:16 | One second, how many? Three hundred thousand kilometers. |
| 01:18:23 | One second. And there's a first ray with ṛṣis counted. |
| 01:18:38 | So when something is turning so quickly, |
| 01:18:42 | the first ray is out of the computer brain. |
| 01:18:53 | But there is sitting one ṛṣi. |
| 01:18:55 | The computers are not enough for this. The ṛṣis have |
| 01:18:58 | been discovered, and here is a ṛṣi who is sitting here. |
| 01:19:06 | He counted, and he gave the name to that first ray of the sun. |
| 01:19:13 | Uṣāpānī, the first touched by the sun ray, the healthiest water. |
| 01:19:19 | Thank you, all the best. |
| 01:19:28 | Take care and come home safely. |
| 01:19:38 | And there was a question about this girl who is a teacher, |
| 01:19:43 | an assistant teacher, so tell me, okay? Kṛṣṇa Nānjī. |
| 01:19:47 | Praṇām Gurudev, Praṇām Excellence, Praṇām Gurudev, Praṇām Your Excellency. |
| 01:19:57 | I would like to thank you, I would like to thank |
| 01:20:08 | you all for this time which we could spend together. |
| 01:20:19 | Maybe there is no time, but our happiness is endless, |
| 01:20:22 | that we could spend this time with you together. |
| 01:20:59 | And we thank very much His Excellency, Gauri Shankar Gupta Ji, |
| 01:21:07 | and the beautiful words, through which |
| 01:21:10 | our minds have been illuminated. |
| 01:21:23 | And we thank you, all of you, that we could have been together, |
| 01:21:28 | and we are looking forward to the |
| 01:21:32 | next moment when we can be together again. |
| 01:21:38 | We'll be right back. |
