Welcome, everyone, around the world, here and there, everywhere, morning or evening. Welcome, and blessings are coming to you from a beautiful, indescribable place. It is one of the most beautiful coasts in Australia, full of sunshine. Welcome, all of you, and I am happy to be with you. Our dear Yamunājī, what is the subject? We want to give you space to speak about yoga, physical and mental health, perhaps. Mental health? I am not a psychiatrist. Thank you. Well, the subject is the most beautiful one: one in all and all in one. We are all one with God, and God is one with us. God is one, and we are many. So, all in one—God gave us a beautiful body, all different kinds of talents, and especially the knowledge, the wisdom to know the world, understand the world, and also know ourselves and try to know what is God. Hari Anant, Anant Hari Kathā. Hari Anant—God is endless. Anant, and the glory of God is endless. Who introduced God? I think we humans introduced God. So in one way, God should be thankful to us that we introduced Him among all creatures and humans. At the same time, maybe God thinks the humans have made me restless. So much work, so much work God has to do, but the cause is God. Whatever is happening, whatever has happened, and whatever will happen, all is in His divine will. So to understand God, we have to understand ourselves. If we do not understand ourselves, we will understand no one. And when we will not understand anyone, then we will also not understand God. Every individual has a different destiny. It does not matter, human or other creatures. And it means every individual has their individual problems here and there. Problem is the best school of our life. If we have no problems, then it is boring, 85%. Then we will be really very lazy and do not know what to do. Problems are there to learn something. Problems await within us: intuition, knowledge, and we develop ourselves in the ocean of our thoughts, how to solve the problem. Higher study to solve the problems in some limit, and that is why we call the lawyers. Lawyers study a lot: all the rules and regulations, the law of nature, the law of countries, the law of humans. And when we have some problem or complication or something we do not understand, we go to the lawyer, and the lawyer does their best, will tell if you do this, that can be like that. This, if you do this, then this problem, this problem. So do not think that lawyers are not good. Of course they study. They study long. They constantly, they have to study. They have to read the law books again and again, and the government changes the law, and again they have to come to this. So life is a learning process. The lawyer can show us, give us the indication, the direction. If we follow, the problem is solved. The traffic law clearly has written traffic signs. Mistakenly, you drive the wrong way on the highway, then they write, "Go back." So how can these things protect you if you do not follow the law of the roads, the traffic? And our post box comes with a very nice letter, so we have to pay a fine. Similarly, there is a layer of the cosmic law, and that is the saints, the holy saints. They meditate, they practice, they study, and they try to understand what God is, and give us instructions: "You practice this, or you do this. You practice this mantra, then it will be easier." So the saints are the lawyers of God. The self-realized one is the justice of the cosmic law, or the justice of the Supreme Court. Our mind is like we humans, and our viveka, our intellect, is that justice which will give us right answers. God has given all the rules and regulations of creation, and He gave the right place to different creatures. Jalture in the water, Thalture in the sky, and so on. Now, there are many problems, different problems. According to the cosmic law, this individual soul which descends from the astral world and comes to this material world, which we call the mortal world—no one is immortal on this earth. They come for what they came, they do, and they will go again. No one can play in the theater forever on this stage of the world. Many came and many went. Many fought for this piece of earth here. Many lost their lives, and they are gone where they are. Earth remains here. We are gone. What is the sense of life, to be here just for a time being, to create the problems and this and that? Or to do that spiritual work to become one with that which is one in all and all in me. As soon as this individual soul, nāṭan-ātmā, individual soul, enters from the high level of the universe to the astral world, territory of the astral world, there, very concrete, very clear, you will feel thyself in the astral world, and there is a desire. There is a desire to come to solve this problem or achieve the goal, so we should go back. The piece of material thing from this, we throw up, and it will come down. What we call in science, gravity. But in spirituality, we say this piece of the material, the fruit, still belongs to this earth. Earth is the biggest part of this, so that small one, which originated from this, is always going to come back to the origin. Origin. Similarly, the individual soul searching the way to the origin, that is the universal God—how you understand, how I understand is different, but He is He as it is. That God, the Divine Mother, the Śakti, the energy, the consciousness. So the wise people always try to come up to the higher level of consciousness. One who does not have that belief and achievement in oneself, who does not believe in oneself and does not understand oneself, is going down and down and down. Fire, for example, the flame, it is the symbol, origin of, from the sun, then always heat goes up. The flame always, when we light the candle, the flame goes up. So when the candle is lighted, then it goes up. Similarly, when the soul, especially in human life, enters, then it has a higher thought. So higher thinking and simple living will bring us more and more quickly to the Supreme. Whatever you understand, Supreme is there. Now, every soul, when it enters the era of our sun system, there are seven different worlds, and above that are the other sun systems. A yogī declares 2,100 different cosmoses, like one sun system. When the soul is descending, coming through the sun, light there will be. The sun is the door to the Brahman. Now, it has a longing to come back there. This is our aim. So this earth is designed by Brahmā, the creator, where the souls will come here and they will become alive through the elements, the five elements. And according to their form, God gives them capacity or some kind of abilities. Every creature has some ability, but humans have more, and that is dormant energy, hidden powers in humans. If we can awaken, we will come back there. On the time when they enter into this system, everything is recorded. Where? Within our phenomena. Within our phenomena, everything is recorded. Where you crossed the border and where you went back. And the automatic system will lead them further through the universe. So, what I used to say is that this individual soul, for ages and ages, has been traveling through endless space on the waves of time, floating, experiencing happiness, unhappiness, light, darkness, etc., etc. We do not know how it was in the past, where we were born. We were born, which war we were fighting, which accident we had. We do not know, or which creature we were. Maybe we were that one fish, and someone threw the hook and pulled you out of the water. Do not be happy, and do not ask, "Oh, I caught one fish." Ask this innocent creature how much pain it has. Fish does not die once. Until it gives up the body, the soul goes out and dies a thousand times. Every second is like a death, a death pain. So it is not that he will die or not, but the process through which this creature goes, that reflects on one who is catching, doing this, and who orders to make this, karma goes there, etc., etc. The constellation of the different planets and different stars definitely influences our life: where we will go, where we will come, and how it will happen. Animals do not know, but humans have studied, humans have experienced, made experiments, those great saints. And for every, for example, the seven planets, nine planets, they all have an effect on us, especially the seven. And very interesting that husband and wife are together, but the wife has different constellations and the husband has different constellations. Those constellations can trouble us physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, financially, politically, etc., etc., etc. And when the effect of this planet is moved, then another comes. All doors are open. Is it different? Now what to do? So not only did they tell us or make a kind of indication, but they also found a way to come out of that. And there are some mantras. So, not only this one mantra, which you get from your Gurudev, whom you take from your master, but there are different mantras for all these actual energy effects. That is the biggest problem. That is the biggest problem. They have written in that constellation how you came into this world and how long you will have a happy life with your wife. I wish till the end of your life and her life. But my wish may help, but there are some other justices who are giving judgment. There are many different lawyers. It is very difficult to defeat Jupiter with Mars and Mars with Saturn, etc., etc. So the lawyer is that great saint who researched the spiritualities in the form of, let us say, astrology. Astrology is greater than the other knowledge of astronomy. And that is printed in our own body, in our own phenomenon, and these have five different layers, and within there is one energy, and we are inside, like in a balloon. The body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the causal body of our desires, the cause of the problem. Similarly, they have designed a kind of mantra and rituals or ceremonies. Among all these, the most powerful ceremony is formed, like we do not know how to make anything other than prayers. So, it does not matter which religion you believe in; in every religion, there is a prayer. Whenever you feel scared and when you do not see the way out of your troubles, pray. That is one of the best ceremonies if you do not know any other. So every religion has prayers according to its culture, according to its beliefs, and that is very powerful. Now, these are connected with the earth, and within the earth, in the womb of the mother earth, there are miraculous or immense energies there, resources. And there are some stones, which can influence because they belong to that particular planet. There is also help, there is help in it, definitely help. With that, there is a completely other mantra. So as long as you have this graha, this influence of that particular constellation, you should do this kind of mantra, this kind of pūjā, ceremony or yajña, and everyday prayer to your iṣṭa devatā. Iṣṭa devatā means whom you have accepted as your inner guide, inner master. So you sit in the car, it does not matter which kind of car it is or how the car is, old or new. The main thing is this car brings you comfortably to your destination. So we are in this world, sitting in the car of this world, and we are struggling to come through. So, mental problems, mental peace does not depend only on you, that you will get mental peace. The disturbance is coming from outside. So they are called mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Mala is impurity. Impurity in itchings, impurity in the behaviors, physical, mental, emotional, intellectual impurities. So this impurity pulls us more down and down and down. After that comes vikṣepa. Vikṣepa is the disturbances. You are living here on the coast, by the ocean. Many waves are coming every day. I try to count how many come, and I give up after three minutes. 24 hours, how many waves? So you lost your ring somewhere 50 or 100 meters inside the ocean. You look, but you cannot see because there are so many waves. On the bottom, there are no waves. The surface is a wave. Similarly, in our heart, in our reality, there are no disturbances, no troubles. But in our mind, in our intellect, on the surface, there are many, many disturbances. If we can come from here down to the heart, suddenly we will feel peace. So what you have lost in the water where there are waves, then you have to design a window frame, a glass window. You put it on the water, the waves break, and you can look in very clearly. Yes, there it is. Similarly, when we meditate, we should create a frame of protection from the outer world through our mantra and through our ceremonies of the pūjā. Then, when you meditate, you will find that peace. Then nothing will disturb you, nothing. Outside, people are screaming, fighting, hammering, drilling. You cannot meditate. Oh God, oh God, my neighbor, oh God, I cannot sleep. Because you are here. If you come to the heart, there is no more disturbance. But you cannot go down. There are too many waves of emotion. In the motion of the emotion, we lost it. When your neighbor is drilling and moving or shifting his furniture, do not feel disturbed. Feel happy that finally he or she is repairing the flat, and it will be good. Or, a person needs to shift the furniture from here to there. What about you? When you move, you go to the toilet and press it three times or four times in the night, and the neighbors here say everything. The neighbor will say, "Please do not flush your toilet in the night." You will say, "What?" Similarly, the other will feel. So understanding any kind of noise, even someone is going with a water bottle, do not take it as a disturbance. He or she needs to go somewhere, so they took such a vehicle, okay? It is not easy. It is not easy for us because our mind and our intellect do not accept. But as soon as we come in the heart, so it is said, "Mā Prabhujī, hameṁ haiṁ kām satsaṅg se jagat bake to bakne nahīṁ. Hameṁ haiṁ kām satsaṅg se jagat bake to bakne nahīṁ." That is nice. I will not sing old, will I? So it is said, I have to meditate, I have to do my satsaṅg. If the people are, if they are screaming, let them scream. If they need my help, I will immediately go and help. Otherwise, we cannot prohibit others. Only we should prohibit ourselves. Do not feel disturbed. Take it as it is. This is saṃsāra. So vikṣepa means the difference, the problems in the world. Mosquito is a vikṣepa. When you are sitting, meditating, and go, "Hmm," then come west. Oh God, why? A snake is a big ship. You are meditating peacefully, and then your Australian tiger snake comes. And you said, "Wait. Let me first meditate. You wait, I meditate." Then we will have dialogue. So it is not so easy. Therefore, God gave us intellect so that we can create a frame of protection—a mosquito net, a good door, etc.—so that other creatures are also not disturbed, and we are also not disturbed. So, this kind of frame—what we want to do is our spiritual thoughts, spiritual work, satsaṅg, and our mantra, which Gurudev gives us, a mantra that keeps all at a distance. If you go out, maybe the red bell is there. The tiger snake did not want to stay so long, but the red belly came. So the red belly was frightened, then came the, what you call, the gray, gray, brown snake. The brown was also a very nice event of it. You go a little more out, and there is a sitting tiger there. So this means worldly problems are a vikṣepa for us, as those creatures are fearful, frightening for us. So when you go out of this frame of practicing mantra or a master’s word, guru-vākya, then the worldly, all creatures will come. So that is called vikṣepa. And third is called āvaraṇa. Āvaraṇa is a curtain. Symbolically, that means the ignorance. We do not know. It is not transparent; it is a curtain. So we do not know who is coming, who is going. So the āvaraṇa of ignorance, and how to remove that curtain, is to go to satsaṅg, listen to the lectures, talk of the wise people, read good books which inspire you, which make you happy and relaxed. So, mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa, these are the three first causes of mental restlessness. Impurity, the disturbances, and ignorance. Within them, every creature is a victim of that. It is called ādhibhautik, ādhidaivik, and ādhyātmik tri-tāpa, three kinds of problems. Tapa means a fire, but we can see problems. This is the problems, disturbances from the different disturbances of the physical body, mental problems, and from the higher level. There are, there are some spirits, you may not believe in ghosts or this, but there are some which are influencing our thoughts. Suddenly, doubt comes. Suddenly, something comes, happens, an accident. For all this, there are many different mantras, different ceremonies, different colors, different sounds. But one should not be frightened. Now do not be, do not feel frightened, my God, now what He has awakened in our mind. We did not know all of this in it. Now He is sitting here and talking. I do not understand what that is. Maybe something is true, but what is that? So do not feel disturbed. Search the way out. And that is within ourselves. It will come. If you wish, it will come. Our wish one day will be fulfilled. Better to have a positive and good wish. If you have a negative wish towards someone, it is not. God always said, "I will think over why you have negative wishes towards this person." It means trouble is also in you, and that person’s wish is also bad for you, and you feel bad. So God said, "Let me wait and see the record in the cosmos, in the universe, then I will give the judgment." So mental peace is, take it as it is. To see the blue sky, you need not travel anywhere, one philosopher from Germany said, Goethe. To see the blue sky, you need not travel from here to Tasmania. There is also blue sky, and here is also blue sky. So that peace is within us, and we shall practice to awaken that peace within us, mental peace. Mahatma Gandhi said, "There is no way to peace." Peace is the way, and that is within you. Why are you not happy and so much disturbed? Because you have too much. So he said, "Renounce and enjoy." Renouncing is very hard, very difficult. This telephone rings at midnight there and always disturbs me, and I feel disturbed. Gandhijī said, "Throw it away." No more disturbances. But that is not easy, my dear. We have attachment, and I do not know, my brother, what he is doing. Maybe my brother will call me, and he is in need, and I am not there. This kind of attachment grows day by day, more and more. There is a type of sand on Earth where, if you step in, you sink deeper and deeper. What is that called? Quicksand. Yes. You try to come up, but as you struggle, you sink more quickly. That is called Jīvita Samādhi—a living samādhi. You go inside and then… So we are sinking day by day into the material problems created by the human mind. Mental pollution is the most dangerous pollution. All the pollution we have created comes through the human mind. Humans study and research how to make more money and create more troubles. A hundred years ago, people did not have so many things. It is hot, and we have air conditioning; I think there was no air conditioning a century ago. They had little, and we now have everything, yet they were happier than we are. Now, this air conditioning may cause allergies, throat pain, and many other things. So one way is good: we develop our lives comfortably so we can meditate more, do more good things, and be on time. Use these comforts; do not abuse them. Our Master Gurujī said, "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Ask yourself until tomorrow: how many things can you sacrifice, and how many things are you collecting? We have collected so many things in our houses from around the world—myself included. I sometimes think that people are listening, but they should listen, especially my Austrian devotees. When I lived in a small apartment in Vienna, wherever I went, someone would give me a souvenir, and I would put it there. A person would come after a year and say, "Oh, Swāmījī, I gave you a nice Gaṇeśa statue. Where is it?" If I do not keep it, they might think I took it merely as a courtesy and just put it aside. You see so many things. I have many beautiful small children who make little drawings. In Europe, during my programs, there are about one or two hundred children sitting peacefully, listening. They get pieces of paper and draw, and at the end, they come to me for fruits, nuts, or chocolate. They bring me their drawings—some draw me with my hair going like this. It is very nice. They say, "This is you, Swāmījī," and I say yes. Now, I receive so many every day. If I throw them away, my heart… Can you imagine this innocent small child, maybe only two years old, how much concentration they put into it? When we first wrote A, B, we held the pen like this. Slowly, now we can write properly. So many memories, so much love, so many things. But sometimes I think when I am gone, people will have a problem moving all this; they will need one or two trucks. That is attachment—good attachment, but still attachment. If possible, buy all these pictures and put them together in one week, but renounce. If we do not renounce, one day we will have to. Everything will remain here, and we will go. In one house, I live alone, or you live with two or three people. What will happen? Those who move into that house will likely throw 80% of it away. We are attached to these memories—memories from here and there, beautiful memories of people. We value, love, and respect them; we keep them. What happens afterward is in God’s hands. God gave, and He will give further. To whom and how He will give—these are good things. When I come from anywhere and see a picture from the ashram where I am sitting, I suddenly remember Prakāś. He made a beautiful seat from bamboo. People ask me, "Swāmījī, what is that? It is a beautiful seat." I say yes. Bamboo grown in the bedroom; Puṣpā claims her land, the place where she lives. Our dear Prakāś worked very hard and made this seat from bamboo. Do you know the bamboo story? It is a beautiful story. If I tell you, you will have tears in your eyes. What karma did this bamboo have that it became a holy seat? What kind of best karma does the person who made it have? And who has the good karma to utilize it? When I sit here, I must be a brave boy, no? We check it every year, Swāmījī. Yes, so I should be. This is the seat of justice—spiritual justice. It is called the Vyāsa Gaḍī, the seat of the great saint Vyāsa, who wrote all the holy books. This seat is like the seat of the Pope. Only one with that title or achievement may sit; others cannot and should not. The Pope cannot sit on this seat and eat his spaghetti. It is not for eating. It is only for holy ceremonies, for holy words, and to speak the truth of God as written there. Even when I come, I must greet this seat first. I say, "Thank you, God, that you chose me, that I dare to sit here." Anyone who comes as a successor may only sit, not others. Automatically, wisdom will awaken in your body. So, mal-vikṣepa-āvaraṇa-ādhibhautik, ādhidaivik, adhyātmik—these three tapas, three causes of troubles. How to protect ourselves? Then come higher levels concerning constellations and such. Life is very easy; it does not disturb us so much. For example, one man is sitting in front of me. Are you in front of me or the camera? In front of the camera, maybe me, and behind you. He has a wife, children, a father, a mother, brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues, neighbors. He is connected to all and lives within all this. Similarly, we live within problems. How happy are we within the problem? The problem of my mother’s health is my problem; the problem of my brother’s health is my problem. My problem is my brother’s problem. We are connected from problem to problem. But do not take this as an ultimate problem; it is a social obligation. It is said that if you want good friends, you must have a good mantra. Then Tulsīdās, in the holy book, said the best mantra to make all best friends is one mantra. Clear? If you want all your friends, there is only one mantra: give up hard words, harsh language. Kind language costs no money, while hard words can cost you your life. That is why humans have received what they created: social conduct, socialization, friendship, happy words. Those without such talents, education, or satsaṅg speak as they like, but that is not it. You may like to eat mangoes, but another is allergic. You cannot force someone; we must be considerate. Do you think what I think you like, everyone likes? No. Do you think if I am very rude to you, you will still respect me? No, no question. Vāśīkaraṇa mantra. The word vāśīkaraṇa means if you want to have all as yours… Tajadeva chanda kathor—the heart’s word. On the telephone, in SMS, in emails—it does not matter if male or female. Do not misuse this medium. Do not even think it, but if inside many things are blocked, you may unconsciously say something and later feel sorry. You know the book Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad Gītā. The Bhagavad Gītā was spoken on the battlefield of Kurukṣetra. The cause of this battlefield was Draupadī, the wife of the Pāṇḍavas. She said to one man, the son of her father-in-law’s brother—I do not know how you say it in English—and that king was blind, Dhṛtarāṣṭra. They played for his son. They made a kind of beautiful swimming pool, about half a meter or one meter deep, in the palace. In a very artistic way, they arranged flowers so it looked like a carpet, with not a centimeter of space for the flowers to move. It was a beautiful carpet. The prince, the son of the blind king, walked on it. Draupadī observed from the balcony, wondering what would happen. Duryodhana walked, thinking it was a carpet, and fell into the water. She laughed heartily. He heard her and she said, "The son of the blind is blind." He became so angry. On this one sentence, the whole Mahābhārata, the battlefield, took place. Never make a joke about someone who is physically disabled. It cuts deep. It is said: if you are hurt by a knife, the wound will heal. But if you are hurt by the heart’s word, it will remain in your heart forever. Even an elephant will not forget you; your dog will not forget you. Every creature feels the injury. Therefore, even if one is blind, you should not laugh and say, "I am a blind person." That is protection for us: to use kind words and humble language. Bani aisi boli man kā āpā koī, oran ko śītal kare, āpu śītal hoy. Speak such a language that everyone becomes happy, and you also become happy. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said that each word you speak should come like flowers blossoming from your mouth. For the wise, each word is like a drop of nectar. Then many problems are solved: our ego, our pride. The soul, which descends from the origin as a ray of consciousness—like a sun ray—collects all pollution passing through the planets until it reaches Earth, becoming an individual, a bundle of karmas and destiny. That is called the song. One day, through good deeds, all this will melt and become one with Brahman. Like ice or snow melts, or frozen butter ghee melts with warmth, our heart, hard like a stone, becomes soft like butter with kind, loving words—that warmth. Oh Lord, my heart is like a stone; make it soft like butter. We must store this in our subconscious, unconscious, and conscious minds. Our intellect is colored with the color of love. One said, "Oh Lord, color me, oh my God, color me—not in yellow or pink, not in green, black, or red. Lord, color me in your color." What is the color of God? That neutral color which can accept any color and still remain pure. This is mental peace, because there was a question: how to get mental peace? Yes, you can meditate. Meditation will give you peace. But as soon as the neighbor takes out the drill, peace is gone. Or somebody makes a telephone call, and you say, "It is too late, finished." You do not know what happens to them. There may be a fire or a heart attack of the father, and your brother calls you, and you say, "It’s too late." Many times I get telephone calls, and a person says, "Swāmījī, I cannot sleep." So I say, "Okay, but I can sleep. Tomorrow I will tell you what you should do, but you should answer." Every telephone call from someone who loves you or has something to share is not just a joke. Otherwise, you will see many people have a telephone, but it hardly rings once a week. An old person in an old home, or you are very old at home, your telephone is there, and you are living in Africa, Jonas bear. On your birthday, you call your father: "Hi, Dad, happy birthday. How are you, Dad? Take care of yourself. Are you okay? Everything is okay? See you. I will come next Christmas to see you." Are you finished? What should the father say? Every day is not equal. Gurū Nānak said, "Every day is a golden day." For whom? For the wise. Otherwise, for worldly people, every day is different, beginning with our outer troubles. So… be content. Peace is there when we have contentment. May you have thousands of elephants. Can you imagine having thousands of elephants? You would need half of Australia. There are people who are proud: "How many elephants?" They had gajadhana, bhajadhana, and they had golden birds, golden eagles—gajadhana, bhajadhana, or ratanadhana khan. They had mines of precious diamonds or stones. Jabhaya santosadhana—but when you have contentment in the heart, sabdhanadur saman, all property or everything is like dust. So who is rich? One who has no desires. Who is poor? One who wants more and more. Speak to yourself, to your body, your mind, your intellect. I am asking myself also, not only you. Then we will have that peace—mental peace. So from here we should enter here. Listen to everyone. Give an answer if you can. What you promised once, keep your promise. Do not break the promise. This is mental peace. So you can. Our dear Yamunā is a very good person. She is also a very good astrologer. What are you saying? Yes. Yes, that is why he is happier than her. Thank you. You keep her happy, yes? But a real astrologer will never tell your future. I will tell you that at this and that time you should be careful, but will never tell you exactly what will happen. Predict? Never. You can make someone unhappy, cause troubles, or it may not happen, or you will be in trouble. So those saints who can see do not always tell. And if they do not tell, they may lose their abilities. Sometimes I meditate, and I go, and suddenly—sometimes, not always—I see what Yāgyur is doing. I just put a curtain; I think it was only a dream. So you must have the heart of a mother and a father, and it is clear. Because when you can see something from above someone, it means you must be above the astral world. When you die, or I die physically, then this glass is just nothing for me. If you have, or I have, or somebody has nothing, it is gone. Sometimes very close people think, "Now Swāmījī does not know me." And I say, "Yes, dearly, I do not know." I do not know only one thing: that Gurudev is with us all the time. Sorry. I will tell one story and finish, okay? One master came to the Sunshine Coast, and many people wanted a mantra from him. Two persons came and said, "Master, we would like a mantra from you. Can you accept us as disciples?" The master said, "Okay, I will make a test to see if you are really ready to be disciples." The master said, "Bring me one pigeon, a bird." He gave one to each and said, "Go somewhere where no one sees you, kill this pigeon, and bring it back." One went to the bathroom and brought a dead pigeon, placing it before the master. The other, Hugo, also went to the bathroom and returned. He said, "Master, you said no one should see, but the pigeon sees me." The master said, "Then tie its eyes with a cloth." He went, tied the pigeon’s eyes, and returned. He said, "Master, I cannot kill it." The master asked, "Why? I told you no one sees." He replied, "But I see that I am killing." The master said, "Then put a cloth over your own eyes as well." He went in again and returned. He said, "Master, I cannot. I think I failed, Master." "Why?" "You told me to tie the eyes of the pigeon and my eyes, but you did not tell me how to tie the eyes of God. He sees." The master said, "You will be the best disciple. You get the mantra." That is it. So God sees everywhere. Gurudev sees everywhere. But we think, "Okay, I close my curtain and my door, okay." It is not okay. The divine eye, the third eye of Śiva, is always moving in every direction. When it is like this, it is only here and there, but when it opens fully, the whole universe—this side and that side, everywhere. When you are in Australia and I am in India or Europe, or you are here in Europe and I am here, there are no problems; it goes through and through. That is called divya-draṣṭi. On the day you get divya-draṣṭi, compassion and understanding awaken in your heart. But never predict. If you do, there will be troubles or some kind of separation. Therefore, the best astrologer will tell us, "This and this is coming; now you have to be careful." What does that mean? For example, you take your car and drive from here to Sydney now, and your mother says, "Take care." You return and say, "Mother, why did you say I should take care and drive carefully? Did something happen?" She says, "No, take care." So the indication is enough. That disciple will become the master one day. In a stone forest, there is one stone; when you touch iron to it, the iron becomes gold. Parents make the iron rod, but the guru makes the disciple a guru. The paras (philosopher’s stone) cannot make the iron into a paras. This is the difference between stone, pearls, and a master. But that master, with Divyadraṣṭī, and the heart of the disciple is clear and transparent. Then you can proceed and advance. Otherwise, we must come again and again for many lives. I am happy to come back again, no problems, as a disciple. Your Gurudev is sitting here on the altar. He is a Gurudev. So things are different in life, but we should not be afraid. Gently, with wisdom, with carefulness, we should do all this. We will come to our path, our destination. But if we try to go a little to this side and then a little to that side, we are gone. Mental peace means accept all. It is short and sweet. Renounce and enjoy. Do not lose your nerves. You cannot lose your nerves. One said, "I lost my nerves." So I said, "Okay, I will go and search where you lost your nerves." Or, "I burned out." He said burned out, no? Yes, burned out. Then where is the 'S'? Can you bring me the 'S' out of the room from that fire? So this is a mental thing. You and I, all of us, are swimming in the ocean of Divine God’s love and immortality. We did not lose anything. We do what we can, and what we cannot, we cannot. We ask others to help us. If others say, "I cannot help you," okay, understand. He or she said, "I cannot help you." Definitely, the person is not capable. With this, I wish you all the best, my dear. If I have taught something wrong and you did not like it, give it back to me. Take the good things. I wish you all the best. Tomorrow, again, if technique allows, see you at the same time. Thank you for coming to Soundimation, and we will see you next time!
