Good evening, and blessings of Mahāprabhujī to everybody in this hall and to those brothers and sisters who are with us through the webcast. We are in Vārāṇasī, so the cast is coming from Vārāṇasī. Indeed, the last fourteen days passed so quickly we could hardly finish all our programs. Knowledge has no end. The source of knowledge is Brahman. There are two kinds of sources of water: one is underground, and one is in a tank. The water in the tank is limited. The flow of the river Gaṅgā, which comes from Gaumukh in the Himalayas, is endless. Similarly, there are two kinds of knowledge: intellectual knowledge and the practical Ātmajñāna knowledge. There are two kinds of learned ones. One is called Vācārthī, and the second is called Lakṣārthī. Vācārthī is limited to this material world. All kinds of knowledge we learn here are for this material world. Nowadays, humans have become more and more greedy. Everyone is running behind titles, diplomas, higher education, and academic education. I was asking all other saints and holy incarnations. Yesterday, in my visions, in my dialogue, I saw all sitting as in the Mahānirvāṇī Akhāṛā—all Ācāryas and Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras sitting together, from the Varāha Avatāra till Kṛṣṇa, and from Buddha till Jesus too. I asked everyone humbly, "What is your title? Which diploma?" Suddenly, all were looking at me like this. I said, "What’s your name?" "Rām." "And you?" "Kṛṣṇa." "Yourself?" "Buddha." "And you, sir?" "Jesus." They didn’t say God Rāma. They didn’t say God Krishna or God Buddha. They didn’t say director, Mr. Professor, Jesus, because they are themselves Jñānamūrti, the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom. They are Lakṣārthī, who had their aim, and they achieved that Brahma Jñāna. All jñāna is jñāna, but real Jñāna is Ātmā Jñāna. This human life is not given to run here and there. The best education is to learn human qualities, to be human. To be born in a human body is not everything. In this world, there are many humans, millions. We shall develop those dormant faculties within us, those abilities where our humbleness and kindness all reside. Don’t run behind others; this is otherwise called the walk of the sheep. You will see the sheep walking one after the other; they don’t look up, they are looking at the back legs of the other sheep, only the back one, not the front one, and they are walking. A big hole came. One sheep falls in. The second falls in. The third falls in. The fourth falls in. A hundred fall in. Two hundred fall in. Sheep are one of the very tough animals. Even if you cut their leg, they will not scream. They just fall in. The last one remained, and there was some little noise. It looked there, knowing my friends are not what is here, standing in front of the veil. Now eyes open, now it doesn’t fall in. Similarly, the Vācārthī—this world is a world of Vācārthī. Competition, this is a status. "My father was a professor. My mother was a doctor. My uncle was an engineer. And now I am this and this. My children must be this." This is emptiness. This is not your aim of giving birth to a child; that is all, to bring it into human form. You were grown in this part of the world, and you know more stories from the Bible. Jesus had also many offers, but he didn’t accept any positions. So the Lakṣārthī jana knows and has awoken within them that awareness. Yes, I would like to be one in all and that all in one—Brahma Jñānī, Brahma Jñāna. Ātmā Jñāna is Brahma Jñāna. This week and last week we had Brahma Vidyā. I tell you, Devpurījī is every day giving new lessons. I am so lucky. For many years, he was observing Mauna. Finally, he became more friendly, more kind, more merciful. There is a beautiful, beautiful yantra chart of the Brahma Vidyā. You will get it one day. All these teachings which you have had during this week, think them over and practice. This Kriyā, which was only three—and these three kriyās, maximum fifteen minutes. When it is in practice, then nine minutes. You can do it if you have time, half an hour, one hour. But at the same time, that kriyā which you got before last year, that you should practice too; that is to awake the dormant Śakti in you. And this Brahmā Kriyā is for the purification of all prāṇas and five bodies, kośas, and consciously bring your awareness from the seven lower worlds to the seven upper worlds, Chaudhā Loka, and then enter into the Brahmāṇḍa. In these seven lokas, Brahman, Brahma, the Brahman, the highest. Aṇḍa means the egg, that’s why I call Brahmāṇḍa. That Brahmāṇḍa is within our own phenomenon, and we are occupied; we have fourteen territories that we have to cross. Only Brahmavidyā can let us through. Otherwise, this material knowledge, this Vācārthī jñāna, the intellectual, the book knowledge, it will keep you here. And you will be that worm which goes into the one being, eats the whole being, and dies inside—what we call bookworms. So, what is that when you get three, four, five diploma titles? What is that? That doesn’t solve your spiritual human aim. Wake up. Decide something. Don’t be that sheep, running one after the other into the hole. So one sheep is called doctor, one is engineer, one is director, one is manager. So, these all have a competition. And in the front is the hole. All will meet again together, all in one. That’s it. So Brahmajñāna is that knowledge which is specially given, designed, and introduced for human consciousness to develop. Designed for human consciousness, that’s it. We will continue, and we will now be in our other ashram for one week, and there we will systematically begin again this science of the Brahmavidyā, for long years. So I’m looking forward. I pray to Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, and Gurujī to guide us like this, and he gives me the opportunity, and I feel myself very honored. I am a little bit worthy enough that this nectar of the immortality of the Brahmajñāna could be given further. Mahāprabhujī spoke one Gītā, that’s called Śrīdīp Vijñāna Gītā, the Gītā of Mahāprabhujī. In that Vijñāna Gītā, Mahāprabhujī said that an iron spoon is constantly in the pudding, moving, or in halva, or in the honey bottle, but that iron spoon cannot taste the pudding, or halva, or honey. So there are many in the lectures, many are listening through webcast. You know if you are an iron spoon. You are that iron spoon, or you are that wooden spoon. The iron spoon will go down in the water, but the wooden spoon will float on the top. But if we connect this iron spoon to a wooden spoon, that wooden spoon will not let the iron spoon go down. Similarly, those who are real bhakti and really longing for that, they can also help their friends, at least to come up again, to cross. Why doesn’t wood let iron go down? Because water doesn’t let the wood go down. Why? Because water has nourished that wood, like a mother nourishes her child. Mother will not let go down. Similarly, the mother water will not let the wood sink, but iron, which is the ego, ignorance, etc., will sink. Therefore, learn to open your heart and open the inner door. These titles will not help you. After the end of life, we will be sorry. How many of my beautiful years I wasted. How much I was tortured. "Learn this, learn this, learn this." And I was learning. And I was standing with the professor. I’m sorry, I did finish my examination. All knowledge will come. You should study, you should go to university, concentrate on your vidyā dhyāna, as I told five days ago. Vidyā—no student will fail if they have one hundred percent interest and concentration in that study. But nowadays, students have 90% interest in worldly things and 5% in study. And from 5%, 3% is in laziness, and 1% is moody. Only one or two percent remain, really studying. What do you expect for your future, my dear? That’s it. No student can fail anything if you try from the heart, if you have a love for that. Therefore, Arjuna, practice, practice, practice. Abhyāsyā, abhyāsyā kaunteya, abhyāsyā. Also, your spirituality—you cannot just sit under the tree and say, "Oh, I’m so happy, there’s nice oxygen. Oh, very peaceful. Birds are singing." After three or four hours, I said, "Go eat something." But where, and what? You know, just longing for the trees and oxygen and wasting time there is also not a spiritual path. Remain everywhere where the civilization is, where humans are suffering. Don’t be individualistic. Just go between. No noise should disturb you, because your consciousness is hooked in the eternal peace and light. No pollution can pollute thy consciousness. No noises can make vṛkṣepas in your vṛttis. Inner awakening, that’s it. So Brahmavidyā and these techniques will help you a lot. And this, I think, will also be a healing yantra. But wait, every day Devpurījī is giving little, little injections, because he knows if he gives me the whole injection once, then I will fall down. It means I will sit in samādhi, and you say, "Swāmījī, Swāmījī, chai, Swāmījī. He is still breathing, Swāmījī, it’s time for a class." One day, two days, five days, one month. Therefore, this is slowly, slowly giving, always releasing a little, little energy. It’s a training. At once, if you push in all the air, it will blast. So the Master is training disciples every day, little by little—one day with humbleness, kindness, and very sweet words, and then testing a little with hard words. You see, ah, still there is some old negative energy stuck inside. A long entire time it takes to polish this, and you have to change many brushes, the iron brushes, till it comes that sign, that sign that shows your face. You can bring this sign on the wood, on the stones, on the metals. Therefore, there is one song: "Mukhda dekh le prani, darpana me." Oh man, look to your face in the mirror. I will not tell the whole song. Therefore, okay, we should learn something to earn our bread and butter, that’s all, and awake those divine qualities. Suddenly, you become so divine, all people who have many, many titles will come to you and get a blessing. We all, it doesn’t matter who is who. Even the president of any country will go to their religious place and bow down. Why? Because that cosmic light, cosmic energy—just now I was speaking with a young man; he is completely burned out, there is no luster on his face, no sign, it is said. What kind of ocean is that where there are no waves? What kind of youth is that where there is no shining face? But today everyone is like a Coca-Cola tin; it’s Christian. What happened? You do not look so good today. It’s a training, part of training that brought this color in the face. If she had been doing that training, yoga, and daily life and meditation, it will be a shining face, like this 35-year-old lady looks like a 17-year-old girl. Look, her face, that’s it. That’s called Nūr, Khudā kā Nūr, the sign of Allāh, Khudā. Khudā means Allāh, His blessing, His light. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said: "Devāna Satguru Nāma Kāmasthāna Bhagavān, Kī Jai." You’ve forgotten the text. So, I told her she should do the exercise. If you do the computation, then do like Holī Gurujī, 18 hours. Otherwise, the condition of her today was like a pinched tire. No air. No shining, that’s it. Nūr, Khudā kā Nūr, Khudā kā Nūr means—Khudā means Allāh, Khudā means Ātmā. And when his spiritual light is radiating in you, then that is called life. Otherwise, okay. There was, I think, in the Sufi, one great holy man. He used to repeat the mantra, "Anal Ḥaq." Anal Ḥaq is something like So ’Ham, or like Aham Brahmāsmi: "I am Brahman. I am Ātmā Brahman. So ’ham. I am that which I am." So according to the Islamic teaching, there is only one Khudā. There is no one who can say that I am that one. But here, his name was Mansūr. He was always saying it, and because he was self-realized, a Brahmajñānī. But the community didn’t accept. They were trying to torture him in many things. "Stop saying Anal Ḥaq." But he said, "Anal Ḥaq is Anal Ḥaq." They crucified him, like with Jesus. But constantly there was sound coming from within. The blood was dripping from the bone. Every drop of the blood was resonating, "Anal Ḥaq, Anal Ḥaq," like "Om, Om, Om." They said he is a Satan. Normally, they bury the dead body in the ground. Exceptionally, they said we should burn him, so they burned him. From fire was coming Anal Ḥaq. After the fire finished, everything became ash. So much wood in his body, all became a little ash. But from ash came the sound "Anal Ḥaq." Then they realized that Mansūr was a great saint, a holy incarnation. Then they bowed down to him. When they surrendered to him, the sound "Anal Ḥaq" disappeared. That’s it. So spiritual energy, spiritual wonder, the light, spirituality is completely different. So I hope she will understand me and practice a little more sādhanā, which Gurujī gave years and years ago. Anyhow, Brahma Vidyā, this Brahma Vidyā knowledge is very rare, and I tell you it will be very rare. It directly comes from our Gurudev, Devpurījī, Alakhpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, and I hope you will preserve it and give life to it. Amit Vān Add Tovab, Amit Vān Add Tovab... So, my dear, you are all very highly developed saints sitting here. Just, you came from some loka again; it was Mṛtyu Loka. This is not yours. This is a stranger’s. O traveller, O foreigner, don’t fall in love with this planet. You have to go. So, what do you get? Warmness? If you just put grass in the fire? And very soon, the flame goes up and down. So what is there to feel in love for some foreigners? It will disappear again, so we are in the foreign world. Our home and our citizens are Brahmajñānīs. Those who are awakened, day and night they are looking to be with that beloved one. Where Brahmajñānīs are—Mīrābāī said, she wrote a letter to Tulasīdāsjī: "Where I live, no one has interest in God, only socially or on the surface, no one respects my Lord." Tulsidas is writing: "Where there is no love and respect for thy beloved, renounce that place." Mīrābāī said: "My body is here, but my ātmā is with you. Yato Kali Kholia is empty; my body is lying empty here." That reach, that consciousness—so you have it, don’t lose it, you should use it, come back to your spiritual sādhanā. Gurujī was an example for us, and still he is sitting with us. Every time I see a smiling, beautiful, sweet smile and a mala. That’s it. And prasāda, just a little bit of prasāda. Lucky were they. Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī holds the mālā in the hand and with the same hand gives the prasāda, because two fingers were holding the mālā and three fingers the prasāda. It is not the quantity, but the quality. And therefore Ācāryamjī said—because once Ācāryamjī was strict, too; his Gurujī was strict to him and sent him away, and told him, "Do not come to me for so many years." So when Gurujī, his Gurujī was passing by, he was hiding himself behind a railway wagon, a train wagon, and looking to have a darśan of Gurujī. But that Gurujī doesn’t notice that I am seeing him, otherwise he will be more angry. And sometimes he didn’t see him, so he told his Gurujī, and wrote a bhajan. Sing: "Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Paramahaṃsrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, Sattva Gurudeva Kī Jai, Hari Om." Next webcast will be tomorrow, 7:30 evening, according to European time. Wish you all the best. Tomorrow we will meet again here in the morning, and the program will be announced afterward. All the best, and bless you in the name of Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, and Gurujī.
