All the incidents and deeds of our life give the rope of life into the hands of God. "Deena Bandhu, Deena Nātha, my rope is in your hands." A devotee was engaged in deep devotion, believing God was always with him. Wherever he went, he held the faith that God was walking alongside him. Then, an incident occurred. He was in a jungle. The road was rocky, the forest vast. As he walked alone, he felt utterly abandoned. "There was no God with me." He became very sad. "When my life was good, you used to walk with me. Now this problem has come, and God is also not with me." Walking on, he left the forest and saw a beautiful green tree in full bloom, with a cool breeze blowing. He sat there and noticed someone sitting nearby. He said with dismay, "O Lord, when I had good days in my life, you were with me. When such a terrible incident happened, you left me alone." Then a voice came: "No, son. At that time I was walking, and as soon as I put my hand on you, what do you call it... it is torn. What do you call it when it burns? Torn, torn. I was walking with you from that side, but you did not know." Thus, when the time comes, God accompanies us. There are some incidents that happen in life to finish off karmas in this life itself. We think, "Why did these incidents happen?" But in this life, they will receive the pleasure of heaven or elsewhere. It will be found. For by throwing a stone in the mud, that mud will come upon us. That is why, if there is any such incident in life, our mind says we have not done such a deed. But if some external garbage has fallen on us, then this too will be cleaned. A great saint named Surdhājī Mahārāj prays to God: "Surdhājī would never have done such a deed. Even then, it seems I have done some deed." So he says, "O Lord, please wash away my deeds. Please bless me. You are my reflection. May you remain my reflection. May you remain my reflection... Remain my reflection. May you remain my reflection. May you remain my reflection... Reflection, may you remain my reflection. May you remain my reflection... Prabhujī, mere auguṇ chit na dharo. Sam drashti hai nāma tyāro. Chahe tu par karo, Prabhuji, mere augun chit na dharo." In this Kali Yuga, we do not possess the power to confront anyone in conflict. We sit as if crippled. But Prabhu will help us. In the end, truth alone triumphs. Where truth is, it will manifest. These are some difficulties for some time. When the war of Mahābhārata ended, Lord Kṛṣṇa thought he would now go to Dvārakā. Lord Kṛṣṇa had his disciples. Gopī is his disciple. The one who is called Gopī is his disciple. Now you call them Gopi and Gopi. In our language, we call them disciples. Lord Krishna thought that before leaving, he should meet Kuntī, the mother of the Pāṇḍavas. Lord Kṛṣṇa went to Kuntī’s room and knocked on the door. Kunti said, "Come, Lord, come." Kunti was wearing a garland for her children. A mother is a mother. A mother should never be a mother? A mother can never be bad. One who did not serve his mother, who did not respect his mother, has finished the life of a human being. Mother, father, brother—you will get everything in this life. You will get a husband, a wife, a second husband, but you will get a mother and father only once in this life. And only in this human life will you attain the Guru. In the previous era, it was the opposite. In the previous era, there was no such thing as mother, father, son-in-law, father-in-law... If the good soul does good deeds, then the good soul does bad deeds, then the good soul does bad deeds. Do you call your father as your father, or your father? If you call your father as your father, then you are abusing him. "O sinner, you have not found a place in hell. Rām Rām, your father is doing bad deeds. He gave birth to you, at least believe him." And mother said, "Mummy, he is a dead body. Why do you beat your mother? Live a long life, my mother." "Tameva mātā ca tameva bandhu ca sakhā tameva tameva vidyā." Does it come or not? In today’s time it is the same: the service of mother and father. That service is the greatest. So Lord Rāma goes to Kuntī’s side—Lord Kṛṣṇa. Kuntī says, "How did Kṛṣṇa come today? I am going to Dvārakā. If you want something, ask for it. And then I will go away." Kuntī thinks in her mind, "Will you give me? That is why I have come. If you want to give, then I ask for one boon. Giving to devotees is a sorrow, and giving to the nāsthik is a joy." Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says, "Rām, Rām, Rām. Why have you gone mad? Have you eaten your bhaṅg? What is she asking for? 'Giving to devotees is a sorrow, and giving to nāsthiks is a joy.' Think and say it once again; I am enjoying." Kuntī says, "I have thought about it and said, Kṛṣṇa, Kuntī never makes a mistake. Like you, I never make a mistake in front of Kṛṣṇa to ask for something. So once again, say it. This is what I say: the devotees are sad, and the ascetics are happy." Then Lord Krishna says, "Why are you asking for this, Kuntī? At least tell me the meaning of this. If I say 'Tatashtu,' then it will be done." Then Kuntī says: "Śukh par śilā paḍe, nām hirde se bisrāy. Śukh par śilā paḍe, nām hirde se bisrāy. Balihārī ush dukh ko, pal pal nām liray." Say, Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān kī. When there is happiness, come to clubs, discos, parties, go here and there. There is a lot of money, God forgets. And when you go to clubs, you have to hold a glass of alcohol. Take it and drink it. You don’t have to take Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān, and prasāda. As soon as there is happiness and money, you forget God. That is why Kuntī says, "May the name of happiness spread across my heart. May the name of happiness spread across my heart. May the name of happiness spread across my heart." When you feel sad, you say, "O Lord, O Lord... O Kṛṣṇa, O Lord, O Lord, now you are the only one." Lord Kṛṣṇa had a grudge against him? Draupadi tore off the sari of Lord Kṛṣṇa? He put a bandage on his finger, and Kṛṣṇa smiled and said, "Draupadī, you have made me a queen. But I will give you back so much of each and every thread." Nothing can be said. When Draupadi started crying, Draupadi saw that all the great Mahārāṣṭrians who were sitting there, they all became weak and powerless. In the end, only one solution was left for Draupadī: "O Krishna! O Govinda! O Gopal!" Immediately, Bhagavān increased his sari so much that he pulled out the Duśśāsana and became naked? But not even a centimeter of Draupadi’s body was naked. So, God gives back the time to the devotee. That is why when you feel sad, only then you remember God. This means that now your good time has come. That sin is over. You put your clothes in the washing machine. And what happens to the clothes? You leave hot water inside, you put powder inside, and it comes clean. If the mind that has been washed for many lifetimes is dirty, then so be it. If the mind that has been eaten for many lifetimes is sweet, then so be it. If the mind that has been eaten for many lifetimes is sour, then so be it. So this stain of karma that has been applied for many lifetimes does not come down from washing. It can only come down from satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is the basis for us in the future. So friends, the life of a human being is very difficult. We should make this life successful by praying to God. Four days of moonlight, finally, dark night. Now you are young, you are jumping and dancing. But one day you will walk with a stick. Now the time has passed. "chuggayi khet. Ab pistane se kya hoga? Ke Bābajī, bache tabra ne panade? Un bache bhajan karo? Arre, śakti hīn ho jāo, phir kyā bhajan karoge? Same hai abhi se bhajan karne kā, aur apne santān ko acchī śikṣā dene kā. Imātrā ek yehī samā hai." From the Supreme Father, Paramātmā, from Gurudev, there is a prayer: May God protect you in this Guru Pūrṇimā Parva and Śrāvaṇa month, and may God take the name of Lord Śiva and chant the mantra of Lord Śiva.
