Final Essence Of The Teachings

Mahāśivarātri is a transformation of consciousness from impurity to the divine. Śiva is the source of all spiritual science. The essence of all teachings is that happiness comes from giving happiness, and trouble comes from giving trouble. Selfish, emotional prayers are often contradictory and fleeting; divine grace understands the soul's true need for healing beyond temporary wounds. The feeling of pain or pleasure resides not in the body but in the soul. Perform abhiṣeka with a spiritual wish, repeating the sacred mantra for liberation.

"If you are good, then the whole world is good for you."

"Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt."

Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

You don’t know discipline, so come to you. You still did not understand me. Come. Sañjīvanī, come. I say it. Listen to me. Look. Most of the people will be only these people come, then after they will come, then after they will come. Now you all rest there, then I make you here, all rest there. Now there were so many people, but now there are only two remaining. They all go there. It’s like in Kumbh Mela. Where? Gajananjī is very good, isn’t it, Gajananjī? Gajananjī is not singing? Hari Om! Hari Om! So another Śiva bhajan. Aptum dayā karo gurudeva jī, ke lāsa virajana varama. Hama dāsa tumhāra khāyā, charaṇa śiṣa nibāyā. Āpa śaraṇa āpa kī āyechī, tuma pāra uṭhāranavālā.

Prabhu, nirādu idharā, Jalnā phir charā hetā. Ajīt dikhā dayā. Prabhu sata karo, pradha palo Sumbha, Īśvara deen dayā lo. Prabhu sata katho, pradhi palo Channa sipa ravi Omita channa. God bless you. So that’s it. We have today, as I told before, the satsaṅg for Śivarātri. Śiva is the first in the entire universe, and Śiva is the Lord of Yoga. All the sciences come from Śiva: the spirituality of yoga, bandhas, mantras, yantras, tantras—all the spiritual science. It is his manifestation. Now, those who still did not make abhiṣeka, they can come and do it. While giving the water on the Śivaliṅgam, you are repeating the mantra: "Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt." So those who have not done it, you should do it. Whatever your wish, repeat it in the heart and make the abhiṣeka. But not a selfish wish. That’s it. So something spiritual, something good worldly? Don’t, because Śivajī said one: someone comes and says, "Lord, please, please bless me with a good husband," and the next one comes and says, "God, please, please help me to get rid of my husband." And so, Śiva is completely... So therefore, these are the little things. It is said, "If you are good, then the whole world is good for you." Yesterday was subject to... Four Vedas and six philosophies. The final essence of their teachings is: "Sukh Dhyan Sukh Hothe, Dukh Dhyan Dukh Hoi." If you give someone happiness, you get happiness. And if you give someone troubles, you will get troubles. If you do good, helping, then you will automatically get the good help within you. These are sayings by great people in the local languages, which have a great, great meaning. So, as Holi Gurujī said, last I told you yesterday, Sabhi prāṇī ek cāhte. All creatures want one thing. Śuk kī prāpti or duk kī nivṛtti—to get happiness and get rid of troubles. And the root in this is: if you are good, then all will be good for you. So why does this situation appear? That you pray to God to get rid of a husband or get rid of a wife. Then why did you pray before to get him or her? Now he gave you a good husband. It was your prayer. Now you can’t take prayer back, so he will not help you to get rid of your husband. So go through your karma, karma, not dharma. So little, little things, this will change always. That’s why God does not fulfill our wish immediately, because God knows this is an emotional situation, and it will go away. The doctor says, "Now he is operated." This is a wound, but it will heal. In a few days, similarly, God knows our emotional wounds. He knows one day it will heal. You know, the body doesn’t feel pain. Pain you feel in your soul. When the soul goes out, the body doesn’t feel anything. You can burn it, bury it, or cut it; this body doesn’t feel anything. So the feeling is in that individual, that soul. Happiness, unhappiness, pain, pleasure, all is in that one. So, prayer for the healing of the soul. To help the soul, so that it can proceed to the light. So today is a beautiful day. You have a beautiful opportunity to make Abhiṣeka. So if you have not done it, you can do it. Tomorrow morning, Abhiṣeka will begin at 5 o’clock. Till we finish our lecture, and then tomorrow evening will be with Yajña, with the Śiva dance and Śiva’s Abhiṣeka in Prague. I don’t know if you can come or not. So I have one wish. Not praying to Śivajī for this wish, but I can ask you to fulfill my wish. Open the windows. Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt.

DEEP NARAYAN BHAGWAN DEVESHWAR MAHADEVA. Now, distribute the prasāda. And who can sing "Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya"? Who knows a good melody? Gajānandjī? Anybody? Oṁ namaḥ śivāya, Oṁ namaḥ śivāya. But he’s okay. Okay. Some good news. The Salzburg was not here. Nobody’s here from Salzburg. Only Hilde was here. Nobody else. They were not here. So, this is to certify that. So and so, born on the date of Tho in the place there and there, has successfully completed a course in yoga and daily life.

And Dāna Jakov, Jakov Stelekova, Durgā Devī from Haradish, Karlovy. Finally, thank you. All the best. Thank you. And David Hanneberg, Chitrāpurī from Prague. We have to put some more below. Everybody hurts here, their head, you know. Yes, everybody gets a blessing like that. Okay, so now you can have half-hour meditation or one-hour meditation, as you like. In the morning, from 5:30 till 8 o’clock or 7:30, you can make abhiṣeka or meditate. Abhiṣeka will be silent, OK? After you have breakfast, then I will come. And around 9:30 or 10, and then the program will be about one hour. Thank you. Those who are going tonight, I wish you a good journey, all the best, and many blessings. Take care, drive slowly. So from my side, good night. Adió.
