Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai! Śrī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai! Satguru Swāmī Śrī Madhavānjī Bhagavān Kī Jai! Satya Sanātan Dharma Kī Jai! Blessed self, all dear bhaktas of Gurudev, spiritual seekers, welcome. Today is the 50th anniversary of the Mahāsamādhi of our universally worshipped Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. Time passes very quickly, but time is not bounded in the universe. Such a consciousness, or the divine self, is known as beyond time and space. They are known as Nitya, Nirākāra, Nirañjanam, Nitya, Bodhaya, Chidānanda. They are everlasting, immortal, the wisdom and light. In that is our Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, the incarnation of light. Light means everything, because light is knowledge. When knowledge appears, there is nothing more to search for or go beyond. That light was and is Mahāprabhujī. There are some thoughts people have in their mind when such a great divine one goes away from this material world or separates from this material body. Are they existing anymore or not? In which way can they help us, and in which way can we approach them? Which relation do we have with them, and how to maintain that? There is no difference. It is as it was. The relation only through the body is temporary; it is very temporary. According to the yugas, kalpas, and mantras, this one life is just not even a second compared to cosmic time or counting. That’s not bounded by time, but we in this material world somehow begin to count according to the movements of the planets and also the turning of our earth. But if we look into the non-endless, then even our Earth is hardly visible with a magnified glass or any other instruments, like telescopes. But for our limitation in this world, we are limited, and we feel it easier to approach through the material world, through a material body with five elements which we can touch, smell, see, etc. But what we feel is also temporary. The consciousness is rising higher and higher. So in that way, they are one, and they are always there, though they are not in a material body. If not, then whom do we pray? Every religion has its prayer object, what we call God. Some believe in saguṇa-saurūpa, a material body. Some believe in nirguṇa-svarūpa, but they believe. And if the nirguṇa, the formless, is not existing, then whom are they praying to? And how do they receive the blessings? Then all the belief on which that philosophy, or those ideas, or that reality is based, therefore they are existing. We don’t see with this physical eye, but they can see us. There is no dualism; there is perfectness. In the Bhagavad Gītā, 12th chapter, Arjuna asked Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa this question about nirguṇa and saguṇa, which is better to believe and worship. It is said both are best, good. But for you, this temporary existence on this earth, for your material body, for your, this physical "I", it is easier maybe to go through the adoring, worshipping, the saguṇa svarūpa, meaning in body. When we maintain that devotion, unconditional devotion, trust, and belief, then unity is there. Then nothing can separate you. That time, one said that such a great incarnation, great saints, and their bhaktas all breathe in and out at the same time. The heart beats at the same time in the same rhythm. Why? Because they are one. The body has duality, but still the divine unity, the divine union of the cosmic self, removes the borders of dualism and becomes one space in which all the planets and stars and suns and moons exist, and they all have their movements. But this universe, which is endless, that’s called the heart of the cosmic self. That space is also contracting and expanding with the same rhythm, like our heart is expanding and contracting, the heartbeats. With that, all our veins are expanding and contracting, what we call the pulse. The pulse rhythm and heart rhythm are matching, and that vibration which goes from the heart to the pulse through the whole body, each cell of the body is connecting with this rhythm. Every cell has the same rhythm as the heart. And in that, within these very fine micro cells, which we can’t see, we need a very big instrument—a telescope, or whatever we call it, a microscope—thank you. You can see and count if you... Are you working in some laboratory, or are you a scientist or a doctor? Please research this, and then you will see this. With the same rhythm, it goes to the universe, and of course, there it becomes slow, not in the way like we, but we are constantly harmonizing with that region, the resonance with that, and through that. That, through our practicing of Kriya Yoga and our practicing of mantra with unconditional bhakti, devotion, one day we will manage to feel that consciously. At that time, there is no fear. At that time, there is no death. At that time, you see only that things are changing, but you are unchangeable. Akhaṇḍ, unbreakable, unchangeable. Nitya, everlasting. Nirañjan, spotless, pure. Nirākār, without any form. So, that is the first step of self-realization. When you come to this state of being, then all becomes very clear. You are not struggling. But many people lead different kinds of lives, talking something, thinking something, feeling something, doing something, and again nothing is there. It is a lost, confused consciousness, camel brain. The camel is also good, but the camel looks only from one tree to another, where the green bush is. So, when we harmonize and come to this rhythm through our practice, what are you doing, O Brahma-niṣṭha Śrotriya Ṣaṭ Gurudev? You are doing Kriya Yoga, Kriya practice, and mantras. Nothing, but you try to find the keyword through which you can intertwine. But every doubt, every negative thought, every negative activity, ego, selfishness, anger, hate, jealousy, doubt, ignorance, pride—these are the biggest obstacles that do not let you go through. It does not penetrate these waves into those waves. And meditation. What does meditation mean? We try to join this rhythm with that cosmic rhythm. Though the cosmic mother is nourishing us with the breath, we are constantly connected to the cosmic mother. And this rhythm, which was already in this jīvātmā, from the ātmā, coming to this material world, and this, twinned again in your consciousness, this rhythm is twinned by the mother’s body, so it doesn’t matter. Human mother or animals, it is tuned this in. What about the life which develops after through the eggs? Yes, because in the eggs there is already this quality, this rhythm, or this vibration. So that’s why it is said, matṛ devo bhava, that the mother’s resonance in the body, that twinning in our body perfectly, and birth is given, connected to the mother’s body, to the navel. And when the child is born, and then we are separated from the body of the mother through the navel, at that time it is said, "Tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam." Tryambakam is the Lord Śiva, the third eye one. And so, tryambakam, at that time, Śiva has four hands. Generally, Brahma has, Vishnu also. Shiva, very rare. But that time, Shiva sits in meditation, and with his two hands, the Gaṅgā is coming, pouring on his head. That is a picture called Tryambakam. That is Lord Śiva, Śiva in the form of Tryambakam. In that one, it is his presence and his coming that he put this out of his body, in his universal body, not this physical. Sugandha means duft, a very pleasant smell, aroma, pleasant. And where there is unpleasantness, the exercise is called "stink," stinky. When you inhale, or you can smell, immediately you feel bad in your stomach, you feel bad in your throat, vomiting. And your whole body becomes unpleasant in different situations. Sometimes you can’t stand near somebody. Especially when you’re holding in the bus like this, and the person is higher, and your nose is only till that part, and it is summer, sweating. You know what aroma is there, so the asurīśaktis are in us also existing. You are anger. You are doing the same thing, but if someone is doing it, you are angry. You are jealous. So anger, jealousy, hate, and many other things which we do are obstacles to connecting these very fine wires after the cosmic. We are the slaves of our body. We are the slaves of our indriyas. And we are slaves of this material world, the money. Kalyug, God is money. This money can destroy all relations. Beautiful relations of brothers and sisters, sisters and sisters, brothers and brothers, parents and parents, neighbors and neighbors, colleagues and colleagues. This money, Bhagavān Dīpna and Mahāprabhujī therefore said in his garden preaching, "If you make business or borrow money from your best friend, it means now the process to break the friendship has begun. And this friendship will convert into, or turn into, the enemy. If you don’t want this, then you borrow, but never ask, 'When will you give the money back?' That’s all. If it comes, it will come. If you don’t come, it is your friend you give, that’s it." All are not like that. Just for a few square meters of a small room in one house, which three brothers and sisters have to divide. Only that small corner they couldn’t manage how to fit. There will be fights, there will be cases, and in such a kind of case, most of your money is going to our dear lawyers because they also need money. It’s good. So these are the Āsurī Śaktis. And Asurī Śakti guides you in the wrong direction, and it is a very fine connection, a resonance. You can’t come through. If you had come through, today you would be different. Today, you will practice further, and your devotion will increase. Doesn’t matter what happens. Day by day, my devotion should grow. To the Omah Prabhujī, that no power in the universe which can hinder, which can shake my faith or anything. The mighty Himalaya can begin to shake, move, but Gurudev, my faith will not shake, no matter what happens. That time you are sure, now your connection to the cosmic without form, you may call Allah, you may call Īśvara, you may call Holy Father, or you may call something different, but our brother Jewish religion, they are waiting till that will come or is. That is one. There is no duality; there is no boundary. And now you have united your consciousness there. Out of courtesy, out of mercy or compassion, love, and feeling of kindness, that Supreme One incarnates and comes here on this earth. And he or she, it can mean also there is no duality of the masculine and feminine. The gender duality is only in this material world; after it’s gone, it’s gone. It will manifest in two forms, which will be like a gender duality, masculine and feminine. But they have no kind of feelings, senses, or organs. That is because there are some reasons why this has to come like this. There is a man, a neighbor, who is very angry. He doesn’t want to talk to you, and he only wants to make peace if your wife comes and speaks. So you will sit and you send your wife, "Please go." Or they will say, "I don’t want to talk to you. I want to talk to your man, your woman. Go in. Okay, then he comes." So you never know which cause it is, that is why the divine may sometimes appear, what we call in this material world, male and female. But no duality. The females have the same power, same strength, same miracles, same light, and wisdom, as you would say the male. But that is called the gods, goddess. And we are just mortal beings. We develop from as reptilians, slowly, slowly, slowly. We couldn’t raise our heads up. As slowly, slowly it develops, and your spine becomes stronger, and you can raise your head up and up and... stand on two legs. And now you are, this is a complete development through that spine. So, Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī was the incarnation of light. You see that here, Deepak, I put it here today. This is a beautiful Deepak. And it reminds us what Gurujī said, that Mahāprabhujī is when he was born. This Deepak on Diwali day, we need a little scissors. Diwali day automatically was again lit. That was a sandeśa, that was a message; light has come. And therefore it is said in bhajan, Mahāprabhujī says, "Dīpaka jale dīpāvalī, dīpaka jale dīpāvalī, dīpaka jale dīpāvalī, dīpaka jale dīpāvalī." So that was the Sandeś, meaning the message. So, the message of Mahāprabhujī came through the Dīpakas on every door. It was not so big, small. But on every door, on the Diwali day, everyone was putting countless dīpakas. This is called Deepak, and that’s also a name according to the astrologic. His name, Mahāprabhujī’s name, came with D. And it should begin first with the D. Every name you cannot choose, that "I want to have this and this and this name." It is decided by that cosmic self to continue your beautiful relation and resonance to that one, and harmony in the universe. So the stars gave you that constellation, and on that is what we call the Jyotiṣ. Jyoti means the light, the knowledge. Tiṣ means 30, 30 days of protection. That is Jyotiṣ. You can look into it. Then that will give you the alphabet in which it is coming. Sometimes only two, sometimes maximum five, and out of these five alphabets, any name you can choose, but the first should begin. With this is alphabet, so it came, Mahāprabhujī’s "D". So when they said "D", it was deep because it was the Dīpāvalī, and whenever you put this light, it is Mahāprabhujī’s there, deep. Deep jyoti, this light. Deep jyoti para brahma. It is the light of the para brahma. Deepam sarve moharanam. This light, this deep, everywhere removes the darkness of moha, ignorance, attachment, suffering. Deep jyoti para brahma. Deepam sarve moharanam. And every time in Sandhyā, day and night when they’re meeting, again it is an exchange of the light. Where the bhakta, disciple, and master are meeting, it is an exchange of light and darkness. That is what is called a Guru. Guru means darkness, and Guru means light. But there is a danger, it is said. Sabbe sahayak sabal ko kohun nirbal sahay, pavan jagavat deep ko, Pavan bujhāvat dīp ko, āg hī detā bujhāy. Sabbe sahayak sabal ko kohun nirbal sahay? ar deep hi deta bujhay. Everyone tries to help the one who is stronger, who has a high position, who, in Kali Yuga, has more money. So everyone helps the stronger one, no one the meek one. Sabhe sahayak, always they are helping and coming and trying to have friendship. Sabhe sahayak sabal ko, who is the stronger one? Kohun nirbal sahay, no one is a helper of the meek. Like what? Pavan jagavat aag ko, the wind when blows, a little piece of fire, it supports that wind so much that it becomes a big fire, the whole bush fire or whatever you call that. Wind, strong wind, small piece of fire support it to become great, likewise, but the same wind will blow off the dīpak, so the disciple, in the same time, is like a little gentle flame, and you have to take care of this flame and hold through this. But also take care. You are holding like this very close to you, and you breathe. With your own breath, you will blow off the oddy. It means your own mistake, your own doubts, your own ego, your own jealousy, your own hate, your pride and ignorance. You blow off your, that divine light which is in you. A deepak gave you light, gave you the Gurudev. So Mahāprabhujī was the incarnation of the light, wisdom, love, kindness, humbleness, simpleness, everything that we can imagine, he had. And he has, and he was, and he is, and he is with us. Those who, with great devotion, believe in Mahāprabhujī and devote themselves, that person has no more troubles of any kind, and all happiness and joy. But when we are selfish, then we say, "Mahāprabhujī, please help us." And then Mahāprabhujī agreed, okay. Some people said, "I was looking to Mahāprabhujī, and I was asking him for help." Then he said, "Okay, I will help you to get divorced." But the same day, next day, he said, "I will bring you some other partner." Mahāprabhujī will never say yes. Mahāprabhujī will say one thing: "Okay, if you don’t like it, separate it, but that is finished, no more." So, boys and girls, be alert. Don’t ask for separation. When you separate, then he said, "No more, finished." And if you are doing it, it will come and go, come and go. There is no more, no more relation. You destroyed it. You blew it with your own breath. Similarly, our heartbeat, our systems in the body, our nerve system, 72,000 nerves, the divine mother, the divine one in you, great one, the consciousness, the Shiva, is flowing in us, that jyoti which appears and manifests in this. But still, it is the breath of that Shiva. It is still the expansion and contraction of that universal body of Śiva that comes and goes. That Kriyā Yoga and mantra practice will continue to keep the relation, the connection. You are driving on the highway, a long, long highway, but you are still on the right track. You are driving. You are getting the petrol, the fuel. You stop. You eat something, but you continue in this direction. You will reach the destination. Similarly, we are all on that highway. But our stupidity and our little ego intellect, sometimes we are in doubt. Yeah, okay, but. That, but that means that was a seizure which cut it, you like, "Oh, but fall down." "Janam janam dukh pai re bhai, tum jago re, tera aushar bita jai." So, Mahāprabhujī, I myself have not seen Mahāprabhujī in physical form, I came three years late, but his divine grace often have been. He appeared in my meditations many times, or dreams, whatever I had. He blessed, he gave, he said, "Don’t worry." My beginning, my spiritual path, which I didn’t tell you very much, but it was so much love Mahāprabhujī gave me, and because Holy Gurujī was too strict with me, and I was, and once in a vision when I was alone in the Nipal Ashram and sitting, and then I slept, and Mahāprabhujī came in, and he said, "It is his nature, don’t worry, he doesn’t mean like that. Come, we go up." He took me with his hand, carrying it. One day, maybe these Vienna people and some people will give me the peaceful. Time to dictate or write a little bit of my life stories. Mahāprabhujī took me, I remember it was a wooden iron stairs from the garden going up to the upper floors, and like a little baby you have in the hand holding, he was carrying that, that. It was unbelievable, so beautiful. And in one other vision, he held my hand and took me to a field. He sat there and said, "Mahesh, I give you mantra today." And I remember what he gave me, and that is all the time. So he is here. He will help you, but don’t change the altar pictures. Always, one day you believe this, then you go for that seminar, then you go for this seminar, and then you are going this logic and that logic, and physiology, and heterology, and psychology, and I don’t know where. Lazy and lazy one, do you will achieve everything? You try to do everything, you will lose everything. You are confused, like when you give water on the roots of the tree. The whole trunk and tree, leaves and flowers and fruits and everything will get water. But if you take water in a bucket and, with this cotton, put water on every leaf, you can’t reach every leaf, and the tree will die because it will not get that water. Do one thing, this is the root. Here, pour the water, and all automatically the tree will get it. Similarly, this root is the Guru Bhakti, the Gurudev, like Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī, Devpurījī. You and me, we are very beginner kindergarten. I’m a little bit perhaps in the kindergarten grade, KG 2. There you go, KG 1, KG 2, you know, and KG 3, so I may be. I hope that my resonance will continue. My resonance, my bhakti. So Mahāprabhujī is here. He protects. Begin and read in Līlāmṛt. Every day before going to sleep, read one story. There is immense wisdom inside. And read this Maṅgala Charaṇ of the Holy Gurujī, what he’s writing in this very beginning of this book, before any chapter begins. And after the introduction, beautiful Himālaya Prabhujī’s, Holy Gurujī’s devotion, this Maṅgala Charaṇ. It’s beautiful, and page number 23 in your Lilāmṛt book. So today is the day of our beloved, universally worshipped Bhagavān Dīpna Mahāprabhujī, and where there is the light of Devapurījī. It is said in that book you have read from one Bhakta, Mr. Ghaṭānī, Purushottam Das Ghatani, you have this book, yes? And there, what he experiences—and I’m not talking, he wrote with his own hands—that’s why the letters are there, his own handwritten scripts are there. That the sun is the way, the door to the Brahmaloka. And on this door is sitting Mahāprabhujī, so that you can go through Mahāprabhujī to the Brahmaloka. Devapurījī is the sun there. These letters you should read, this beautifully, beautifully done. I think, is it done in English also? Yes, in English. Yes, that’s very great. Unbelievable. After his age of 65 or 70 years, 75 years, he came to Gurujī and he asked for a mantra. And Gurujī said, "Now I am in retirement. Mahesh, I give the duty now to Mahesh. Mahesharan will come, you should take mantra from me." Mantra from him, and he was surprised. Guruji said, "My disciple, give you a mantra. It is something like this, unwished, you know, like a second hand." But then he realized what Gurujī means. It was Gurujī in me who gave to him. And he sādhanā, and he could see in visions very consciously the Kṛṣṇa. And Krishna’s name is called Nāthkaṭā. Nāthkaṭā. Nāthkaṭā means very vivid, very energetic, you know, down city of this and that. And he said, "I can’t concentrate." Mahāgurujī, he said to Mahāprabhujī, "I look here and Kṛṣṇa is there, and I look there, he’s here. So I can’t catch him." So next Mahāprabhujī said, "Next day." And when meditation, Mahāprabhujī came and held the ear of the Krishna and said, "As long as he meditates, don’t move." And he didn’t move. This is not my words, my dear, what he said, that man, and how was his death. And how Mahāprabhujī could tell one of the bhaktas, whose great wish was to have a darśan of the Kṛṣṇa temple in Jaipur, and it’s a beautiful temple and very great, but I was so long time there, but I’ve never been there in the temple. One day I will go to the Govind Devjī temple. And his friend was so ill, he couldn’t go, and he had only one wish: to go and have a darśan of Govind Devjī temple inside. So he asked in meditation, and Mahāprabhujī said to him, "To Puruṣottam, you go and so tell him, 'Look in your palm.'" And he was telling him, "Look into my palm," and he saw, and he folded both hands. The Govind Devajī’s whole temple altar was like a television or like this in his palm. He had a darśan, and Puruṣottam is asking him, "Do you see?" He said, "Yes. Have you had darśan?" "Yes." "Are you completely content, satisfied?" He said, "Yes." I have darśana of Govind Devajī, and then he took the hand and looked. He didn’t see anything. That was Mahāprabhujī. Like in the Mahābhārata, that blind king wanted to see what happened in Kurukṣetra between the Pāṇḍavas and Kauravas, my sons and the Pāṇḍavas. So, one of his caretakers or soldiers or his minister, what was his name? Sanjay. So Sanjay got the divine visions. While sitting there, he could look there and see the entire battlefield, and he’s giving a report to the king about what’s happening: which one is fighting with whom, and what is happening, and how many people are involved. Like we see in the televisions in the Olympics, and someone is giving commentary, who is how and this and that. That’s called divya-cakṣu, divya-draṣṭi. Divya-chakṣu means divine eyes, and divya-draṣṭi, a divine look, where you come to this, what we call, above turīyātītam, above this turīyātītam, beyond the past, present, and future. That level of the consciousness, rare bhaktas can attain. Which one? Who really maintains this resonance from which this heart to that heart? No problem. Why are you worried? Mahāprabhujī said, "Why are you worried?" Beautiful bhajan, you know this, so read in the līlā, this is written here. When Gurujī got sannyāsa dīkṣā, and after a few months or so, yes, I don’t know, and Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī said, "Now go and distribute the prasāda of the Gurudeva in the world." And Gurujī is a very young sannyāsī, where will... I go. What will I do? Who will tell me, "Come and stay with us, give me this or that"? No, I don’t know anybody. Just like from the nest, maybe try to fly, fall into the thorny bush, but still try to come out. But then the inner will said, "Try, I will help you." And suddenly the wind came. The bush was opening, and the baby flew. Mahāprabhujī said this to the Gurudev, our Holy Gurujī. Lucky was Holy Gurujī, blessed was Holy Gurujī, divine was Holy Gurujī, and great was Holy Gurujī, and whatever we can tell, he was the luckiest that he could spend some time with Mahāprabhujī and see with his own eyes. And so, when many people and bhaktas were coming, they said to Mahāvalī Gurujī, "Please look to us, because we can’t see Mahāprabhujī, but these eyes have seen Mahāprabhujī, and if you look to us, it is for us as if Mahāprabhujī is looking to me." Those eyes, for me, for us, were the most valuable things in this world. Such experiences. And Holy Gurujī taught me many times, many, many times. And when he taught, he was having tears in his eyes and his Maheś. Unfortunately, pity that you came a few years late, three years. If just you had seen Mahāprabhujī or spent some days with him, I am sure that he would have given all that he wanted to give, which I refused and I couldn’t, but he would have found you worthy and said, "I said he is giving me, he is giving me through you." So whatever we have... Whatever I have, it is the blessings of our holiness, and I bless you on this their name. And we pray to Mahāprabhujī’s nirguṇa svarūpa that his nirguṇa and saguṇa light and form be always in our visions, in our hearings, in our feelings, and in our words. With this, bless you all. Hari Om. Dīp Nayan Bhagavān. Dīp Jayā.
