How To Change The Destiny

The inner world and the science of karma govern human potential. God grants endless abilities, which the mind and intellect direct as tools for good or bad. Action inevitably creates reaction, multiplying destiny. Good actions yield positive fruits; bad actions yield negative ones. While action is your responsibility, the fruit belongs to God. Utilize energy outwardly with wisdom and kindness, and inwardly through meditation. Meditation without a Guru-given mantra is like entering a dark treasure room; the mantra provides the light. Yogic techniques awaken dormant energies and chakras, allowing travel within the endless inner universe. Without the correct techniques from a guide, one cannot discover or safely utilize these inner treasures. Spiritual practice is serious; turning back risks a severe downfall.

"Where there is action, there will be reaction. And the reaction will also be answered with action."

"Meditation is a key to our inner world. Meditation is the door to enter into the inner world, and meditation is to discover our inner world."

Oṁ Vāśya Dīmahi Deo Pracodaya Śānti Śānti... Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma. Adoration to our Holy Linnés, and blessings to all of you in the name of our Holy Linnés. Very good evening, dear ones, here in this hall and elsewhere in the world with the webcast. This morning, we had some thoughts about the endless energy, abilities, and tendencies in the human body. It is said that God has given every creature some abilities. Some creatures are limited only to eating, drinking, and creating. That’s all. Some have little more, and humans have endless. All the good qualities which we have can be utilized for good things, or they can also be converted or awakened in bad things. It depends on our mind and on our intellect. Our body, as well as all tendencies which we have, is like a tool, and our mind, our intellect, is the master who is using these tools. For example, you have a knife in your hand. With this knife, you can save someone’s life, and you can also take someone’s life. How will you handle this instrument? Similarly, all our qualities and abilities, we can do good or we can do bad. The decision is in our hands. If we do or not, but the reaction or the fruits, that is not in our hands. That God gave these rights in His hands. So that’s called the science of karma. And karma’s principles are these: where there is action, there will be reaction. And the reaction will also be answered with action. And again, that action will create the reaction. In this way, we multiply or strengthen our destiny. Good actions have good reactions. That is a plus point in our life. Bad action has a bad reaction, and we have these minus points. Both are in our hands, but the fruits are not in our hands. Go ahead, do your karmas. Fruits will be given; fruits are in God’s hands. This is the preaching of the Bhagavad Gītā. These energies, or these tendencies, abilities, and actions, we can use for two things. In the outer world or within our inner world. When we use it in the outer world, we should be creative and protective. Our every action, every handling should be full of wisdom, kindness, love, and understanding. That will be counted as a plus point for human life to proceed towards liberation, mokṣa, or self-realization. So the spirituality or practice in action, so our actions should be spiritual. Wherever you are working, in any company, in any office, in any field, if you do it with positive thinking, that will have positive counting in your karmic field in this life. Similarly, we should also take time every day to check our inner feelings and inner actions. When things are not clear, don’t act. Otherwise, we will be sorry. So, to make clear the way to oneself is meditation. Meditation is a key to our inner world. Meditation is the door to enter into the inner world, and meditation is to discover our inner world. And that meditation, if it is without mantra, without Guru Mantra, then you enter into the inner treasure, but there is darkness. You don’t know if there are snakes and scorpions inside, or something explosive, or something beautiful, precious things. This we can only see through the light. And that light is the light of your mantra. And the mantra which we should always use in meditation. In meditation, without mantra, is a body without soul. So this mantra and meditation is leading us to our inner world, and there are some techniques to utilize those dormant energies. We know, but now how to use it, and these are the yogic techniques. Through the awakening of the different chakras, the awakening or opening of those channels through which the cosmic energy is flowing through our body. That is what we call the feedback or regenerating. That energy is circulating. Energy is circulating everywhere in the universe, even through the rocks, but in our body it’s more conscious, more alive. So those great yogīs, those great saints, the first were traveling through their inner world. Our inner world is endless. You can dwell in your inner world ages and ages, you don’t see the end. That’s why it is said, hidden powers in human, ananta śakti, endless power. For example, you dream in the night or afternoon when you go to sleep, and this dream is only a few minutes. Or maybe half a minute, but what you experience a lot. So, there’s one story. There was one man, the father of one family, what we call normal. They were traveling. So, one day, this elderly man was having rest in the afternoon. He slept. Now, he’s dreaming. That he died, and he had a funeral. He went to the astral world, and then again he was born into one very nice farmer family, with a big land and many fruit trees, many cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and a happy, happy family. He was a family father; he had about 16 children. Yes, it was a pride of the people to have more children. Because children were the security for the parents, children were the insurance bank for the parents, that my children will help me, and my children will take care of my work and property. And since people lost this family relation, the European population is decreasing. So, I think all yoga and daily life practitioners should again multiply the population in your country. No problem, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. Your government is a very good government; they are giving support, financial support. It must not be that your children are engineers and doctors. When they are engineers and doctors and what not, then they will go somewhere, and again you are alone. For what do you have children? So, educate them that they can read the newspaper and do some nice handwork. That’s enough. They will survive. The time is coming. They will survive who have the multi-talents. Who is bounded to only one particular profession will have a hard time to survive. So, the first step to survive is to learn cooking. Really, it’s not a joke. If you can’t cook, you have not completed human birth. Second, to grow the food, vegetables, grains, etc., you don’t need any work. You don’t need—yes, you want the cow to drink your milk? Organic farming, happy children, that’s all. That time will come again. They had to come back because money you cannot eat. Don’t produce more and more plastic. Plastic is a Kali Yuga ātmā, so ātmā is immortal, you can never destroy it. So, one is our ātmā is immortal, and second is plastic is immortal. So that man who was born as a farmer had many children, and a very happy wife, a proud mother, and they had about 150 years of life. That’s why they could have 16 children. Still, they were healthy. And nowadays, we are not even 40 years old, and the doctor said, "You should not have a child, or you can’t get a child. Hurry up." That is the result of the fast food. Fast food, fast finish to life. Back into the place. So he died, and now he was born again as a gypsy or nomad, and he was traveling. So, a big family: grandfather, great-grandfather, his wife, children, had a very nice coach with horses and donkeys. Goats and sheep and chickens, traveling through country to country. They came to one place, and in that place there was a king who died and had no children. So the king wrote a testament. In the testament, he’s writing, "My whole kingdom is they are my family, my children and daughters, sons and daughters, but my most loyal is my elephant." So I give power to my elephant to choose my successor, the king. When the time comes that you have to choose the kingdom, give a beautiful flower garland to my elephant, and in whose neck he will give this garland, that should be taken as a king. So the king died. Time came, and many, many people and children of other kings came and were sitting with great power, expecting to get a mālā. They had special perfumes, and maybe an elephant will go there. So three or four hundred princes were waiting. And some farmers also, mighty elephant, a very wise one. They showed him the testament, and the elephant was doing, eeeh! Yes, and he got the garland and walked through. Who dared to take the garland out from his trunk? Otherwise, someone can take it and run away. The elephant went through. He left the people and walked out. And they were walking behind him. He walked out of the city, slowly, slowly. And this, The caravan of the gypsies was passing by. And the old father, who was sitting on that couch and had a big mustache and long beard, was smoking his pipe when an elephant came and stood in the front. Well, all were frightened. The elephant was looking, and the other came, coming near to make praṇām to the elephant. So may the elephant give the mālā. But he put the mala around the neck of that old man. And the elephant stood there, and he raised his trunk like this, indicating, "Sit here," so that the old man understood. He sat on the trunk of the elephant, and he brought him on his back. A beautiful garland elephant was walking toward the palace. He became king, he was very happy, had a beautiful kingdom, and his wife became a queen. They enjoyed life, then he died. Again, he became a farmer, and in the afternoon, or noontime, after working in the field... He was having a little rest and dreaming about all this, and someone came and woke him up. He woke up; it was that man. Just he slept two minutes, and in these two minutes he had three lives and experienced so many things: 16 and 16 of children. And he woke up and said, "Yes." Please come home, so he went home. His only child died. They always said, but now he’s thinking. They thought he got a shock. They said, "Do you know your child died? Are you not sorry? You don’t show the sadness." He said, "Yes." But I’m thinking, for whom should I cry first? I left three families behind. Should I cry first for them, or cry for this? Similarly, the time of the astral world, and when we go through the dream locale in the astral body... We travel through our own body; every part of the body is a different universe. That’s said in the Vedas: yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe—what is in the universe is existing in the human body. And what is not in the human body is not in the universe. So make the journey first within thyself through very correct yoga techniques, kriyās. Otherwise, you will get nothing. So awakening hidden powers in a positive way is like a combination number lock. So we should try and try to find out which number it is exactly. And that number’s combination number is 108. So from 108, you have to get all in one line. Which one is correct, we don’t know. So that’s why all the times we are repeating, "Oh no, no, no." May the lock will open. So sādhanā and particular techniques. Therefore Mahāprabhujī said in his bhajan how to open this lock. He gave us everything. We are very rich disciples because our fathers were so rich. And they left such a big treasure with us, but we should know how to open it. So Mahāprabhujī also said, he gave the key. Utilize it. And which bhajan? No, no, no. It’s the wrong key. That is it. God bless you. Therefore, without Gurudeva and correct techniques, which we get, we cannot discover all our inner treasures, and we cannot utilize them. And these sādhanās are very serious. Kriya, when you get certain kriyas, then Gurudeva tests you long. And asks you, "Are you ready? And did you promise?" You promised. And it is said that if you stop, if you misuse, if you go out, then you must know what you are waiting for. Then it will revise back. It’s like you are going up on the mountain with the electric or the cable car. And nearly you come to the peak of it, and it falls, and it rolls back, with what speed? Higher speed than you were going. So, like this, then all your spirituality will collapse, and the negative energies will awake. Now they find their chance; they are celebrating. Now we have the chance to push this person back again to that Naraka. Veer Bhadra awakes, and we have no chance. Therefore, meditation and correct yogic techniques, also prayers, it doesn’t matter if you pray in the church, in a synagogue, in a stupa, in a temple, in an ashram, or in the forest. All prayers have their principles. So human life is beautiful, we are fortunate ones, but at the same time, it’s not easy. It’s not easy to succeed in human life. Do we come out spotless? Kind of spotless, that we did not follow the spiritual principles, how many we harmed, how many we made unhappy, how many we misguiding. How is it if you are coming spotless back home? And therefore, one sense tells in the bhajan about spotless nirnjan, alakanī nirnjan, beautiful bhajan. Jinī re Jinī kī Rām nām rasabīnī... Chadariyā jīnī re, jīnī charkā banāyā. Pach tatva kī pune aṣṭakamalaka charkā banāyā. Pach tatva kī pune chadariyā, pach tatva kī pune. Thank you for watching. God bless you. ... Genie, genie means very fragile. Very gentle about this body. You think you are a bodybuilder. Some are the building builders, you know, and you are the bodybuilder. It’s a surprise. Who are you to build the body? God has already built it. So you have stolen the intellectual property of God, but if you still think you are the mighty one, it doesn’t take time to finish the material of the five elements, like the cottons or the wool. Aṣṭakamala kā carkhā banāyā, the spinning rod. Cārakha Aṣṭakamala, eight kamala, eight lotus: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. Aṣṭa kamala kā cakra. These are the eight kamal, eight chakras that are working to build up this body. It begins from the Manipūra cakra. Now, this mass, munanko laga, it took nine to ten months to complete this body. Murg, the foolish, did not understand the secret of this body. Day by day, we made it dirty: impurities, impure thoughts, impure actions, impure qualities, impure nourishment, impure kuśaṅgas, etc., etc. Many, many lives you will wash this pot, you will not become spotless. But when my shalom was done, I brought it home. A birth. Rangreje ko dini, because I wanted to color all this. To that fabric person who is making colors, Raṅgrejā. Rangrejā, who is making the colors. Dayū. Rangreje ne esā raṅgam. He made such a beautiful color. Red into the red, into the red. Red blood in the body. Do you have white blood or red blood? I also have red blood. You also have red blood. The cow also has red blood. The rabbit also. Every creature has red blood. That is God’s līlā. That is a ragṛeja, that is our mother gave such blood and everything, so this life is very gentle, very fragile, and inside is sitting that Ātmā Divine. Tomorrow before noon, we will talk about this inner world. Holy Gurujī wrote one beautiful bhajan about the inner world and this body. So, wish you all the best, and tomorrow at 10:30 will be again, webcast according to the European time. All dear ones who are watching our TV, wish you all the best and blessings. Do good things. Don’t get a spot on your Antakaraṇa. Om Śānti, Śānti,... Hari Om. Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandījī Bhagavān Satyāsana Tantra Kī Jai.
