Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Jī, Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva, Mahārāj Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Jī. Good evening to everybody here and in other places, those who are with us through the webcast. Good evening to all of you here and in all other places through the webcast. And to those who are here in this hall, in this seminar for Brahma Vidyā and Brahma Kriyā, I am very happy to give you some techniques. And of course, our dear friends, brothers, and sisters on the webcast who are with us—they will one day receive it personally, and I hope you will come. So the technique I have now taught you is the one that will purify the antaḥkaraṇa and the three obstacles: mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. This Kriyā you have just practiced, and its significance, is directed toward balancing body, mind, and consciousness. As I told before, God or Mother Nature gave us everything we need. When a little baby goes to kindergarten, the parents give the child everything: water, some sandwiches, and so on. Everything. Before we came to this world, the Cosmic Mother, the Divine Mother, she took care of us. And she blessed us with everything. That is why God’s creation is called sustainable. And continuous. This continuity brings unity into eternity. That is called divinity. That is Brahma Vidyā. So, now you know that the whole world is looking for it, and the United Nations is also organizing many programs, lectures, and conferences for one thing: sustainable development. But unfortunately, we don’t understand. Because people think sustainability is about money, business, and everything going smoothly. That is not sustainability. That is a misunderstanding. This will change. There are two kinds of worlds: one is called the God-made world, and one is called the man-made world. The God-made world is perfect, and the man-made world is not perfect. The man-made world destroys nature to create its world, and that is not sustainable; it will destroy again. If we think that all these highways and roads are sustainable, or multi-floor buildings—do you call that sustainability? If this road is damaged, will the road principle automatically repair it? No, humans will repair it. But when man, or humans, or other animals, or nature is damaged, automatically children grow. Automatically, generations grow. This is sustainable. Sustainability means continuity. Nothing is blocked. If we understood this economic sustainability—money, and this is happiness—God has given us a lesson again. What we now call this economic crisis, and all are suffering. How many people are afraid and lose their job? They lost everything; they lost knowledge, they lost abilities. Previously, humans were able to do anything. They could do gardening, driving, cleaning, writing, philosophy—everything. But nowadays, humans have become one-sided. You have one profession, an intellectual profession. There was one conference, so they brought engineers, specialists in ceramics, designing this and that, many things. Then they brought someone who actually makes ceramics. They gave the same material to both: one who was not an engineer but who, by generation, used to make things out of ceramic, and the engineer who had studied five, six, ten years. And they said, “Now, please create something.” The person who had not studied engineering made a beautiful pot, and in no time, many, many beautiful pieces. But the one who had studied for a long time, measuring how many grams of this, how many milliliters of water, how much clay, what kind of water, how long to mix, how long to let it rest, again mix—when he tried to make the pot, it broke, and everything stuck to his hands. When he lifted his hands, the clay went this side or that side. The other one, who didn’t study engineering, got the moment right. He wet his hands a little, touched the clay like that, and it grew. Then he put his hands nicely, with love and gentleness. That is what we call the touch of a mother’s hands, the touch of a father’s hands—completely different feelings, different knowledge. Mother’s touch, father’s touch—no one else can replicate. Similarly, we should have practical knowledge. In the present situation, with all the economic problems, happy will be those who will never be scared about this. Now, people in cities don’t even know what vegetable leaves look like. And 98% of people have lost their knowledge of cooking. Just boiling something and putting spices in is not cooking. Out of the sixteen vidyās, one is called cooking vidyā—that is Pākaśāstra. It has a complete philosophy. Since women and men lost the ability to cook, now you see the world: humans are more ill. Children are ill. From childhood, they have diseases. Every house has many illnesses because one thing is imbalanced. I don’t know how to cook. Which spices or which vegetable? We lost the feelings, knowledge, and importance of the season. When the season comes, we should eat only that season’s fruits and vegetables, etc. So when winter comes, we eat summer things. And when summer comes, we eat winter things. Because our globe is very big; in some parts it is winter, and in some parts it is summer. It takes about twenty-four hours or even less to bring fruits and vegetables from summer countries. They are brought here. But you are the winter one. All your tissues, everything is changing. Mother Nature has prepared to fight against this coolness. But we create central heating. We are sitting in a centrally heated room; outside it is snowing, and we are warming up and eating ice cream. Can you understand? So sometimes our dear God said, “Oh Shiva, what should I do?” Shiva said, “Just observe.” It is a preparation for new creation, so we lost feelings, values, and knowledge about decisions. Besides this, we lost the knowledge of cooking. And it is said, “Mother’s hands cook the food.” Even a twenty-star hotel cannot replace it. And mother’s milk, no other substance can replace it, because in that milk is that kind of love. Only a mother has that. For her own child, every mother is every mother. So when you get a child and you don’t want breastfeeding, and you take milk of goat and sheep and like that, it is not good, except for allergies or something. In certain cases, the doctor advises. Similarly, cooking is lost. When this is lost, many talents are lost, and we become one-sided. That’s it—not flexible. The people sitting here who are about eighty years, seventy years—for a hundred years, maybe someone’s memory, singing songs and this and that, is better than our memory, we who are here for twenty, thirty years. How many telephone numbers do you know by heart? I always ask. And the people, farmers from villages, they know more telephone numbers by heart. Why? Because from the very beginning, we begin to write down. That was the first mistake. Second, now we record it. That is the second mistake. Third, we now only tell somebody, “Bring me SMS so I can register it on the telephone.” I can record it on my telephone. And we are changing the language in a funny way: “Please feed in my telephone.” Is this a living being? A cow? Is it a goat? Or your house dog? “Please, I’m going, can you feed my dog?” So we can register, we can write in the telephone, and we all say, “Feed, feed, feed.” And the child is crying, and the father says to his wife, “Please feed the child.” “What are you doing, father?” “I’m feeding the telephone.” So you see how we lost the talent. And that is the dark future of humanity. Therefore, do not lose all natural knowledge. The first step you should take: learn cooking. Learn cooking. You think you put water in the cooker and put potatoes inside? And peel them, add salt and butter—is that cooked? Every day, potato, potato... and then he comes to me: “Guru Dev, how do I lose my weight?” I said, “How many potatoes do you eat?” So potatoes are very good, but from time to time, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Similarly, in our body, that energy of the Maṇipūra knows where to go and how to help. So, if we concentrate, if we practice this Brahma Kriyā, then Mother Nature or God has given us that factory which produces all the hormones, medicine, vitamins, and everything. But we didn’t utilize it. Our factory is closed, and we are suffering. So, yoga is to regenerate all the functions in the body. But again, you awaken a little your Maṇipūra Chakra, and now you eat a very nice, warm meal—self-cooked, with correct spices. You are always talking about Āyurveda. I’m happy about that. I’m happy about India, that they earn a lot of money now in the name of Āyurveda. Whether it helps you or not, that you know. But the government is happy because they get money at home. Now, your karma. Correct medicine of Āyurveda has a function. So in our body, we eat a nice warm meal. But besides this, while eating, we use a cold Coca-Cola or a cold drink. If not this, then after eating, you have ice cream. Now, your Maṇipūra is sitting like this. I don’t understand. You see? Oh God, oh God. I don’t understand this human brain. You did everything very good, oh God, but why did you give humans such a brain? That’s it. So, we always make mistakes. So, in yoga, you should also know which exercises you do with the solar system. That is like how you think, “Which mantra should I give?” And how the energy is distributing in the body through the prāṇa and apāna—five prāṇas and five upa-prāṇas. So Brahma Vidyā Kriyā brings all the organs and glands into harmony. But we, again, think differently. We did Kriyā for only twelve minutes, and you have forgotten everything now. You didn’t sit straight, and still you feel the effect of that Kriyā. So, this body has enough. Jumping in hot water and cold water, hot water and cold water—okay, once is enough, but the body cannot constantly resist. So this kriyā which I gave you, this with the solar plexus, with that mantra Śivo’ham, like Śivo’ham, Śivo’ham. And you know on which set point you were concentrating. Because many are leaving tomorrow, and I want to give you this kriyā. Three days ago, our sisters received this beginning of exercises, and all men, or brothers, were purifying the Antaḥkaraṇa to clean the lake. But this kriyā we will do again tomorrow. And I hope, and I believe, that you learned it. So, but slowly. Always slowly. Don’t hurry up. Even if you will die, don’t worry. Mahāprabhujī will take care. Mahāprabhujī will order me again: “Mahesh, go and look after them.” “Yes, Gurujī.” So I am a servant here, in service of all. But slowly, and be sure. What Mahāprabhujī said: Dhīre dhīre. But our consciousness, our sūratā, should always be connected to the divine light, moving toward the divine light. So, getting detached from the material world, getting detached from all the emotional attachments—to your car, to your moped. Yes, many have an emotional relationship with them. Many, when they sell their car, are nearly crying over that old red car. This is attachment, emotional attachment. Can you imagine this beautiful āśrama? For the last twenty years, we have been working very hard, and now if someone tells us we will die and leave everything here, we will be sorry. Attachment to money, animals, our beautiful tree in the garden, a nice house plant—we are attached to them. You know, humans are also very weak persons. That is a plus point. That love, and that love is our protection. If we love all the creatures, our world is already heaven here; we need not go anywhere. But Yama comes. He said, “Get out.” He said, “It is my house.” He pulled him out. So it is. So our Śruti should leave the things behind without suffering and let Śruti go to the Divine.
