Today is, more or less, the final day of our seminar. We have learned a great deal. There is a final kriyā we will come to one day, but first we must prepare the gomikā; we must prepare the field. If you remember, I told a story about a farmer 30 or 35 years ago. Some of you were not born then, but it has been repeated many times. It is a very simple story. A farmer receives a piece of land. On that land, there are many thorny bushes. First, he must remove them. Then he sees there are many small rocks inside, so he must dig them out, which is also hard work. Next, he sees the whole field has many holes; he must level it again. Then comes cultivating, waiting for the season to sow the seeds, and taking care until the harvest. These thorny bushes are our negative qualities. It takes time. We remove them all, and suddenly the next one is growing. Such bushes have very deep roots. Even if it does not rain for months or a year or two, they will not die. So we try to purify these qualities, and you come home to find they have grown again. We must remove them for a long time—not just two years, but perhaps two lives. That is very important to know. When we remove these thorns, no matter how careful we are, sometimes they stick in us. Then come the rocks: the rock of pride, the rock of ego, and all such qualities. These are very difficult to root out. When we begin to dig them out, we see the field has holes. These are the holes of uncertainty and self-pity. Before, you were full of ego and pride, and now suddenly you think you have nothing. The holes of uncertainties and doubts need time to overcome and realize. Then we begin our sādhanā. This sādhanā must be taken care of. When you put seeds in a field, it does not mean the field is clean. Weeds will grow, harlequins will grow again, many animals will come, and many bugs will come. These are the mental infections: doubts again, laziness, sudden feelings of hopelessness. We lose our confidence again. A farmer’s life is not easy; they work very hard. We are the farmers of our inner field, and this work is not easy. Therefore, in one of the bhajans of Maṅgīlāl Jī, he said: follow or obey the Gurudeva’s words and teachings. When you come to follow the words, there are obstacles, for you see you have a field but there are many hindrances. He said, "Kām krodh ko dūr hatau"—remove desire and anger. This is all I told before. Kām krodh ko dūr haṭāo. Now purify the field, your inner field, your physical field. Purification of the body, inside and outside: Śaṅkha prakṣālana, Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Dhātā, Kapālabhātī—the Ṣaṭkriyās. And the diet: when you practice Kun̄jal Krīyā and also Śaṅk Praks̄ālan, when you practice neti every day, cleaning your tongue and eating sattvic food—more vegetables and fruits, and having some spices. Spices are for our gland systems. Sometimes one thinks garlic and onion are not good. Yes, they are not good sometimes. Some people do not like their smell. But for a yogī, garlic and onion are very important because they support the practice of prāṇāyāma. Garlic thins our blood, and prāṇāyāma then helps you more to purify your nerve systems, the nāḍīs, and the blood. After eating garlic, you must take what is called mukhvās. You find this in every Indian restaurant and house. There is a bowl containing a mixture; you take and chew it. It is called mukvās. It is a mixer; it is called sweet anise, which aids digestion and protects against acidity. When small children have stomach problems, you give them anise tea; it is sweet, calms the digestive system, and removes acidity. Inside are also sesame seeds, which remove acidity, and then cardamom and cloves. You should chew this. You will always enjoy your own breath, and others standing beside you will also enjoy that you have a good smell. Bad breath comes from poor digestion and not eating fresh, sattvic food. So: more carrots, soup, fruits, salad, good vegetables. And chili must be. Chili must be. Chili can be a protection against cancer. But that kind of chili, like a Hungarian paprika—you see, a little bit bare bones, I must make a point for Hungary. There are some chilies that are small, about two centimeters. When you bite them, it is like a scorpion sting. That can cause stomach cancer; it makes holes in the intestine. Avoid all kinds of chilies that have very thin skin and little fruit, with more seeds inside. That is not healthy. The other long chilies have thick fruit, and that is what you have. Slovakia also has a lot, and Hungary is, of course, worldwide famous. But unfortunately, they are losing their quality because they add color, which has destroyed the Hungarian quality. So if Hungarians want their economy to rise, they should stop mixing in colors. Chili also creates coolness in the body. Chili has no hot effect on the body. When you eat chili, you sweat. When you sweat, a nice breeze comes, and you feel cool. Therefore, all people in hot countries and on islands consume a lot of chili because it is too hot. And countries like here will very soon be hot countries too. The climate is shifting—not changing, shifting. It is natural. When night comes, day; when day comes, night. This is not climate change; it is climate shifting. This year you had 40 degrees; we should not be surprised. Next year, maybe 45. Some parts of ex-Yugoslavia already have 45 degrees. Why not? Enjoy the heat. So spices are very healthy for a yogī. You must take them—in limited amounts, not too much. Spices are scientifically proven to keep your gland system active, alive, and functioning properly. You will be protected from many diseases, especially cancers. If I talk more about this, you will all be hungry now. Someone told me when I was in India, and when I return from India, for two weeks I still have a good smell from my mouth. Then I begin to eat tāmasic food: old bread, cheese. This is tamas guṇa—but paneer is not, because paneer is freshly made. There are many such things: alcohol, beer, sauces. No wonder your smells kill all the oxygen in a room. And the poor wife says, "Well, I want to meditate. Can I sleep in another room?" Purification, inner purification, will reflect on the outside of your skin. On the surface, you can use a lot of makeup, but it will not reflect; it is temporary, and you become dependent. I do not know how expensive cosmetics are, but they are. Many men complain that most of their money is used by their wives for cosmetics. I say, thank you, very good, I am happy for her. At least she is making the economy move. So, sad karma, sat karma, is hatha yoga kriyā. This pañca karma is taken out of the ṣaṭ karma. So tan kī khetī sāv krao. Tan means the body, and kheti means the field—the field of your heart, the field of your consciousness, the field of your intellect. That has to be purified, cleaned. Its name is dharma. Hal chalau. Hal means kalti; nāma means discipline. Dharma means to keep the quality, spirituality. Nāma dharma kā hāl calāo. Now this cult is two: discipline and spirituality. This should cultivate your field. Bees om ka bona hai, because you should know that in that field you have to put a seed inside; that is called Oṁ. Nibbāna hai, nibbāna hai. Satguru kīrti kī bachan, nibbāna hai. Follow the instructions. So this Brahma Vidyā Kriyā that you learn about—if you do not follow it, next year we will be here again, sitting as beginners. Then he said, "They are dharam kī harialī sāī." Now your crops begin to grow. The whole field looks beautifully green. What is that? Dayā dharma. Again, dayā means mercy, compassion, kindness. Now in your heart, dayā comes. Tulsīdāsjī said in the Rāmāyaṇa, "Dayā dharma kā mūla"—the root of dharma is mercy. Where there is no mercy, there is no dharma. Therefore, where there is no dharma, there is adharma. Adharma is a sin. So when we lose dayā from our heart, then adharma will take its place, because it cannot remain empty. When your flat or house is empty for a long time—you lock it and go away—there is no prayer, no mantras, no humans inside. Then the devas go away, and asuras come and take their place. After five years, you come to your farmhouse and look: oh God, so many spider nests, a snake there, a spider hanging. You open the window, a bat flies out. You go to the kitchen and open a drawer, and a mouse jumps out. Because we left it neglected for so many years. The house needs someone to live in it. Of course, those creatures are also beings, but they have a different culture, a different way of living. When you come, they are very angry; they think you will take their house away. They say they have a birthright in this house. So if you do not practice, that will be your condition. So, dharma or adharma. Tulsīdāsjī said, dayā dharam kā mūl hai. If you want to maintain your spirituality, your dharma, your righteousness, then keep the dayā. That is why we always pray: "Dīp dayāl kṛpāl Mahāprabhū, āp rakho lāj hamaārī. Dīp dayāl Mahāprabhū, karke dayā"—O merciful Mahāprabhū, please bestow thy mercy on us. Kořeny hříchu—the friend of your eyes. Wherever you look, there is only a dark spot. So when there is so much negative quality and prideful ego, you no longer see any light. This life is in darkness. Never give up your mercy as long as you have life in your body, in your heart. Afterward, you do not know what will happen. So, dayā dharam harayalī sāī—now in your inner field, the greenness of dharma and mercy is growing. Pyaasa marti vo murjai—now they are thirsty and there is no rain. So this crop is hanging down, very sad. It will die. Satguru Kumbh batāyā, bhai—but Satguru Dev has shown us a veil. Ab to nīra pilānā hai—now we should give them water again. Kup means the water well. Gurudev has shown this water well. Again, in the heart, the bhakti—the water of bhakti, the water of love. Now you must give your inner field nice, pure water: Bhakti. Bhakti... Bhakti. What will happen? Now it is harvesting time. Our crops are grown and ripe. Another saint said, "Oh, my mind, you did not guard your field. The birds ate all your harvest. Now you can cry, but it is already too late. Your crying will not help anything." So you put the seeds in your field, take your rucksack and passport, and go on a four-month holiday because the crops will arrive in four months. And he said, "OK, now it is September, harvesting time." And you go there. Only dry grass is there; there is no corn left. Oh, God. Everything was for nothing. So some saint said: do not cry. You did not take care of your field. You neglected it, so the birds have taken everything. Similarly, what you have learned, what you heard, you must take care of it, so that the birds of kusaṅgas, the birds of blackmailings, etc., should not destroy your inner peace. Now, all the ladies went for work—mostly female work. The hard work is done by men, and the fine work is done by women. And when you count in the evening, actually the women work more than the men, but I will not talk about that now. All Sakya means all these friends, girls, went to harvest. Now Sakya means our inner indriyas, our sūrtas, our devotion. They went to harvest this rich crop. Sab sakhya mil toḍen dhāī, ab to ikṛti karlo bhāī. Now, please collect your crops. It is a spiritual bhajan directed to worldly things. So they brought a lot of crops. Now we have heaps of corn and wheat lying in the fields. Up to now, we have to bring it home. Now we must find transport. Rāsa banāyā, māl ghar lāyā—now we made transport and brought our goods home. Nibbānā hē, nibbānā hē. Satguru kā bachan nibbānā hē. Follow the words of Gurudeva. slovy Gurudeva. Then you wait for selling in the market. Of course, the businessmen—experts, decision-makers, very quick, honest, but full of knowledge—say, "Oh yes, this crop is good. Oh, this is nothing. Okay, this sells at half price. But for this, we can give double the price." Yes, that is it. Quality decides, my dear, like our Basant. He always goes for quality. Whatever he makes, he makes with quality. Even the mistakes are quality mistakes, so no one can repair them. Anyhow. The price? Invaluable. More than your imagination. You ask for a thousand crowns, and they say, "We pay you five thousand crowns." Quality. What? No compromise in quality. So now you have brought these crops into your heart: viveka and intellect. Now you have realized the seven levels of knowledge beyond the Turīya. By Chinkubājār Siddāī—now you went outside to give satsaṅg. And your satsaṅg, your words, your wisdom... People’s praises: "Oh, how nicely he was talking." This is wisdom. This is wisdom. As I said, that must be Brahmavidyā Kriyā. Brahmavidyā Kriyā. His kundalini must be awakened. No, no... he is enlightened. Of course, Ātmā Jñāna. So your words, your speech, come from your mouth like shining pearls. Light, light,... light. It is full of light. Rāsa banāye, mālgar lāye, bēchenko bājār siddāye, vāpar mōl a mōlak pāyā. Nibhānā hē, re nibhānā hē, Satgurujī kī bachana nibhānā hē. Follow, follow the instruction you received in the seminar. na semináři. Přišle ostatní farmáři means all practitioners. How did you get this knowledge? And so the farmers said, "How did you produce such good crops? What have you done? Your field and my field are near each other. How did it happen? Can you tell the secret?" Of course. Nothing is secret. But discipline, Mahāprabhujī, has made these crops. It is His wisdom, Prabhu. Deep kheti nipjai Mangilal kai, mere manbhai. Then Maṅgīlāl said, "That is what I liked." Birla Sant Miharam Jani—rare saints will realize the mercy of Mahāprabhujī. The rare bhaktas will understand this. Birla Sant Miharam Jani—those who realize His mercy. Adbhuta Rupa. Rupa means form. Adbhuta: indescribable, endless Ātmā. They attained that self-realization. That is called Abhidhuta Yogī. Abhidhuta is a very high state of yoga. Abhidhuta is like Jivanmukta. Abhidhuta is above all, living in this world but above it, like a lotus flower. Devpurījī was known as an Abhidhūta Yogī. Prabhu Deep Kheti Nipjai Mangi Kaye Mere Man Bhai Birla Sant Janmehram Pai Avadhūta Rūpa Prasanna Hai. Dev is realized; there is the Avadhūta form or knowledge of that. Nibhānā hai, Satgurujī kī bachchan nibhānā hai. If you follow the words of your master, you will reach there. Otherwise, you will be neglected, not selected. So be solid, be strong. Work. The days are going, passing away. Every day is a lost day. Every minute is lost. And our time passes in gossiping. Wake up. Begin at least now. Therefore, say it. So it is said. That is not santa-jana. If one is a sant, then a sant cannot be without this. So everyone, please make the correction in your bhajan. That is it. Now we will have 15 minutes. There will be a 15-minute break, and then we will see you again.
