Good morning to everyone, and good evening to all who are far distant from here. To those joining us through the webcast, welcome. And blessings from our Siddha Pīṭha. The bhajan we just sang was written by Gurujī: Bhajore manva śrīpūjya dīpa dayāla parabrahma avatāra Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa. From the very beginning of life, from birth onwards, we try to achieve or get something. We meet many things and many people, and we try to fulfill our wishes and visions. We all brought our destiny with us. We are victims of destiny, guided by it, controlled by it, and kept by it. At the same time, we have a duty, a dharma, and our feelings, thoughts, and attractions are always moving in that direction, though we are often not aware of it. Many people do not know what they want, and they are not happy. They cannot stay in one place. They change things, thoughts, places, and professions. But suddenly, you find something. It opens your inner space, and whether you like it or not, it reflects in your inner self so that the inner being accepts it. Then you realize that many things you did in past days, months, and years were fruitless. They created many different thoughts, feelings, energies, and qualities. Before we can proceed further, we must purify those pollutions. After trying many things and still not getting what you want, you suddenly meet someone. Gurujī is describing Mahāprabhujī. So then Gurujī said to himself: Bhajore Manwā, O my mind, now pray to Mahāprabhujī. Meditate on Him. Parabrahma Puruṣottama Svāmī, kar deve najara nihāla Parabrahma. He is the incarnation of Parabrahma. Puruṣottama, the best, the highest in human form. We are all human, no doubt, but certain ones possess special qualities. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa is known as Puruṣottama. So, though he is Kṛṣṇa, though he is Rāma, or he is Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī—they incarnated in human form. Therefore, they are in the list of humans, but the best of humans. They come here to protect and to liberate us. As much as you come near, as many times you have darśan, as much as you repeat their name, as much as you meditate, that will help you to forget or purify the past karmas, the destinies. Karādevī Najara Nihāla. Najara means their kind look. When their kind look falls upon us, Nihal means we are successful, we are happy, we are rich. We now have everything. So, after searching here and there, we suddenly find something in life. Then all our sādhanā, our search, comes to one point. But this does not mean you have now reached everything and need do nothing more. Now, the work begins. What you did before was not counted. But now you realize your real work begins. Now the milestone is set. And if you lose this, you will have to come again in the next life. But there is no promise you will come as a human. Therefore, it is said that even the devas in heaven pray to God, the merciful Lord: "When all the good karmas through which we came to heaven are exhausted—we get all our credit back, we enjoy it, we use it—now we must go back to Chaurāsī. Please be merciful and give us human life, that through bhakti, through guru kṛpā, we may attain mokṣa." To come to heaven is not mokṣa. Heaven is a temptation. You may call it heaven, or paradise, or Svargaloka. It is, in some way, a temptation for poor people. You will get all beautiful things. You will be ever young. You will get a nice husband or a nice wife. No pain, no sorrows. Divine. And we poor people think, "Oh, we want to go to heaven." But when you come there to Svargaloka, to heaven, it is boring. The yogīs spent a few hours, a few days in Svargaloka. Everything is made of gold. Big bathrooms—one bathroom was half the size of this room. The bedroom was so big he did not know how to get out. A big bed, sleeping on one corner. Hot water, cold water. But he said after three days, when he went out, he was liberated. The luckiest one. So this temptation is for those kinds of people. We humans very much long for pleasure, comfort, wealth, health, this and that. It is like a good chocolate, that we want to come to heaven or to Svargaloka. But this is just an apartment. Brahma Loka is something else. That Brahma Loka is where all is within you and you are within all—one in all and all in one. So, Parabrahma Puruṣottama Svāmī, Karādevī Najarānī Hal. Can you imagine? Mahāprabhujī appears and He just looks at us. That is more than enough, my God. Many have dreams where Mahāprabhujī was looking at them. We adore our Gurudev, and many others have their Gurudev or their God. That is okay. A divine look is a divine look. Divine mercy is divine mercy. But when you feel it, then you do not separate. If you pluck an unripe fruit from a tree, the tree suffers, the branch is injured, and the fruit also suffers. You need a big power to break it. Both sides feel pain. And the unripe seeds cannot grow again. We came nearly nearby that. We were climbing to the peak of the mountain on a cable car, and we were happy. We were coming to the cabin to get out, only 7 meters away, and some stupid one came and cut the cable. What happened? You not only came down, but you were finished. You did not just return to where you began to climb or got into the cable car; you landed in the hospital in an ambulance. And from the hospital, hardly having reached it, you land in the graveyard. And not only in the graveyard—after three or four days, we do not know from where these creatures come, the vikāra, and the whole body is eaten in small bites. That is the last prāṇa. This prāṇa, even when we die, does not leave this body immediately. The body is not ceased; it is not completely finished. That Naraka, you go again, and so many worse things, because you lost it. You lost your faith, your confidence, your bhakti. O my mind, you lost everything through kusaṅga. Then all that we were praying for, some help—it helped. That will come back. It takes time. From there to the hospital, to the graveyard, takes time. And it takes more time to be complete, to be finished there. That is the first step. What is further, I will tell you next time. So Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Gurujī came to liberate all creatures, all souls, not only humans. Then our sādhanā is successful. There are, then, two things for those who are blessed and lucky: Seva and Sādhanā. First is Seva, and the rest of the time, when you find it, do Sādhanā. But not like this: Gurujī is calling you and you say, "I am doing my mālā, I will come after, please, half an hour." So Gurujī asks, for what or for whom are you doing the mālā? "I am concentrating on you, Gurujī." Then you need not concentrate; just come. It is very difficult to understand sādhanā and sevā. Seva is the sādhanā, the best sādhanā. Again and again, I pray for that blessing. Which blessing? "In every life, O Lord, let me be Thy servant." When the Holy Gurūjī took sannyāsa dīkṣā, he asked Mahāprabhujī, "Now, how and in which way can I serve you?" Mahāprabhujī said, "To serve the entire creation is service to me." That is it. So if we think Mahāprabhujī is one and we all go to help and serve only Him, my God, there would be no space. Now, He is in all—in every tree, flower, human, animal, in everyone. That is what Ādi Guru Bhagavān Śaṅkarācārya said. The first step of self-realization is this: you see thyself in everyone. That is why it is said: Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you. If you see yourself in others, you will not do bad. But it is ignorance, and you are preparing yourself to come to that grave, which will be the grave of torturings. Why did all these great saints say this? To awaken us. Because for many, many lives we have suffered pain. We had no knowledge of wealth, no knowledge of health. We had only the knowledge to eat, enjoy, and live. But the pain, the torturing, is very much. Many people have a little bird in a cage at home. The whole family speaks with that bird. They feed it, give it water, clean the cage, and you think she is so happy. She is not happy. It is a life prison for that bird. In prison, people may be nice to you. They give you food, clean your room, but still you are in prison. Similarly, do not make the mistake of keeping these creatures captive in your home. Otherwise, the revenge, the karma, will come back. In the next life, you will have to go through this karma; you will be in the same cage. Can you imagine the joy, the happiness of freedom? That is it. We all pray for freedom. Bandhan means we are tied. Nirbandhan means we are free. Mahāprabhudīp Karatā Purījī, Śrī Madhvānanda Purījī... So Swāmī Brahmānandajī said: Aśi kari gurudeva dayā—like that my gurudeva was merciful to me. Mere mohaka bandhana todhyā—he cut off, or he broke, the bondage of my attachment of ignorance. Bandhan hī duḥkha kā kāraṇa hai. That kind of attachment is the cause of all troubles. Moha kā bandhan toṛ diyā, mere cañcal citt ko mor diyā. Chanchal means restlessness, like a fish in the water, very chanchal. If you try to catch it, it is gone. So, citta, our vṛttis, our inner waves of thinking, our citta is very cañcal—here, there, there... "I will be happy there, I want to be this, I want to be that," all the time. That is cañcal, not steady. Nam, malaḍ egī hai beṇ so mere cañcal citt ko moṛdhyā he—he twisted my cañcal citta in one direction, wherever he goes, but there is only one way to come: bhakti. That is bhakti, that is knowledge, that is mokṣa, and that is our aim. All the holy scriptures contain beautiful, great, divine words, beautiful visions, but also... they are full of fear, full of such words that frighten us, and frighten us in such a way that we do not want to go out of this line. If you have to walk on a wall twenty meters high, or the sky scrapers, now you have to walk, but the wall is one meter wide. Still, we know how to walk very carefully. So this path of human life is put in such a way by spiritual injections. That is why humans remain on the line of spirituality: sin. What is sin? Suffering. Punishment. All these are there. In every grand time, every book, it is not for animals. If you tell your child, "If you do this, you will have this punishment," he will say, "I want to eat." So this is designed for humans. Animals have to go through their karma, their destiny. Therefore, when we meet that Satguru Dev, he will tell you the sādhanā. Not only was Holy Gurujī serving Mahāprabhujī, but then when all was finished in the evening and the time came, Gurujī said, "I was so tired, I want to sleep." And Mahāprabhujī was sitting and said, "Now I tell you one technique." He was so happy. He tried to wake up, but his body was so tired. And Mahāprabhujī told something, and he said, "Yes." Two hours went, and Mahāprabhujī said, "Is it clear?" And Gurujī said, "Yes." Yes. So, sometimes it is understood. We are all tired from this world, and we are sleeping in ignorance. In the sleep of the moha, it is said in this one bhajan—how is that? It is very nice, and that is a very good bhajan. So, O brothers, wake up! Gurujī is saying to himself, "Every writer writes for oneself." But they are kind enough; they write it down, because the self-situation can include others also. Nidrāvidyāchayere—deep sleep of ignorance. This ignorance is a deep sleep, which is the cause of this deep sleep, janam janam dukhay—every life and lives and lives you will suffer. Wake up from this sleep of ignorance. When we wake up out of ignorance, then there is something more: moha, attachment. My, my, my. My money, my house, my parents, my love, my wife, my husband, my children, my kitab, my book, my jewelry, my this, my that... We made a nest, like a spider makes a nest, a nice net. That is a trap for other creatures. Any mosquito or tiny creature that flies is caught in that trap, the net of the spider. And the spider runs quickly to eat that. But sometimes, the spider itself is caught in that net. It cannot go out, now hanging there, and dies there. We sometimes see a dead spider in the net which it created itself. So that is moha, and one day you will die again in this. You cannot come further. Moha Jāl Kī Phāṅsī Meṅ Phāṅsī is like a noose which hangs you up. That is a faśī. So moha, attachment, is that faśī. It does not matter; sooner or later, you will be hanged there. Why do you die like a spider? Wake up, wake up, wake up. We have a very nice song. In the morning at school on the day of independence, early in the morning, the children were going through the village singing a nice song. Everyone liked to sing that song. So, children, try to wake up the people early morning, four o’clock, five o’clock, and it is said: O traveller, we are all tourists. O traveller, wake up. Now is not a night to sleep. It is already dawn there. Those who sleep will lose it. Those who are awakened will gain. They will get. So the whole night was in the life of different creatures. Human life is the dawn; we are already in the sunrise. And still, if you are sleeping in ignorance and caught by māyā, then you will lose everything. So jagat hai, ho pavat hai—those who are awakened, they will get. Those who are sleeping will miss it. So the sādhanā that Gurudev gives in only a few words—then you have to find out yourself and work yourself. Mahāprabhujī lived long, but he should excuse me. I think he did not speak as much as I speak. He spoke only a few words, but people were so clever they got it. And some of you have been sitting for 30 years with a friend of mine, and you say, "Guru Dev, I have a little doubt." Then go to the toilet. We generally say doubt means you have a pressure to go to the toilet. So then go. So, how much I am explaining in the last 40 years, how many million hours I have been talking. So wake up, wake up. Therefore, when we concentrate on this technique, after we are doing it, on the Dhuni... Chetana kā Cilka Dikhalāyā Diyaśrī Devpurījī ne—that the reflection, the light of the Caitanya, the super-consciousness, Gurudev has shown us. So that goes from the navel, from the Maṇipūra Cakra. You know, last year we had, in summer, this Kriyā, which technique we did, and which we are doing. Lucky are they who are with us only a short time, but they get such a Kriya. But I can tell you one thing: do not lose it, otherwise you will be sorry. Do not lose it. Practice, practice, because it is said that no matter what happens, no one will help me—my friends and my enemies, no one will help. Finally, I have to help myself by the help and guidance of the Gurudev’s mercy. So work, work, work all thyself. In the Maṇipūra Cakra, which is balanced strongly with our Vajranāḍī—the Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā are the software, but Vajranāḍī is the hardware. Capito? Understand? Therefore, this hardware has to be very strong, the Vajranāḍī. At that time, you will feel it on your Maṇipūra Cakra. So these four āsanas, which we did yesterday and we will do now also, are in order to strengthen our digestive system, and that will automatically happen when the maṇipūra is in order. If you have diarrhea, constipation, gastric problems, digestive problems—everything depends on our Maṇipūra Cakra. And that Maṇipūra Cakra has a strong, solid foundation. That is Vajranāḍī. Vajranāḍī. So, let us see how we can make the Vajranāḍī strong. That Vajranāḍī means our strong immunity in the body. And as much chemical and chemotherapy you take, or so many antibiotics, then your Vajranāḍī is out of balance. And the entire immune system collapses. Then come the asuras, infections. Quickly, they come and they tell you, "Do not worry, I will help you, we will help you. Do not worry, we will free you from this life. That is why we come in great numbers." That is it. So let us listen to something and do something. Further, not a new. And I wish you all the best. This evening will be another very special message. To all our dear ones around the world, we wish you all the best. Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva, Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Sanātana Dharma, Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ.
