Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Śrī Śrīdeva Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī. Good evening and blessings of our Ālag Purījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. Our humble adoration to Śrī Devapurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Holī Gurujī. All my dear ones, it is a great happiness, a great joy to see you again and be all together as one family. Life is great. Life is divine. Especially human life. If we understand what my life means for me, we understand what my life means for me. To eat, drink, sleep, and create children—even animals are also very perfect. Jíst, pít, spát, plodit potomstvo, v tom jsou i zvířata velmi dobrá, v tom jsou zvířata dokonale. If a human does only that much, then one did not understand what life is. As soon as one has lost the motivation or the spirituality, then one is lost in this world. We are all bound in one chain of spirituality. And it is not easy to keep this relation or connection. It is not only once that you just get a mantra or blessings, or once you go to one program and now you do not need anything more. Every day we need to wash ourselves; it is not that once a year we wash ourselves. Every day we have to clean our cups and plates. Every day we have to brush our teeth, and every day we need nourishment. Similarly, to maintain the spirituality, we should do it every day. That is why satsaṅg is designed. The time which we spend in satsaṅg and the time which we spend with the holy saint, that will be counted as the life of the human. The rest of the time is passing like other creatures. Satsaṅg is that which makes the human human. It is one of the highest techniques. There is no higher technique in any system than satsaṅg. On the day when you will lose your feelings towards satsaṅg, it means from that day onwards our dark days begin. Now begins the down counting. So the saint said that day will be counted, and that day I meet a sadhu, a saint. A sadhu is representing the highest supreme; do not look to their body. But look to their essence. It does not matter how is your president, from which religion, which country, which color, but automatically is a protection to the president. Where the queen flies, the bees fly behind. And where the queen leaves, the bee heap leaves. All the bees leave their babies, their eggs, their honey, and everything. They all fly behind. Because of that quality, because of that chair. That holy chair. We have to be loyal to our holy chair. Yesterday I met one very great bhakta on the aeroplane. I came from India and stayed one and a half day in Vienna, and one and a half day I was in England. So yesterday I came, and today I am here. I met one person who believes or belongs or is a follower of the Sikh tradition. In the Sikh tradition, there are many, many different traditions. In Hinduism, there are many, many different traditions. And in Islam also, there are many different traditions. And the Buddhists also have many different branches of tradition. And in Christianity, mostly, or many traditions are in Christianity. That is what we call sectors, and this name of sector was given at the time of the Holy Saint Assisi, Francis of Assisi. He goes to Rome and meets the Pope. And he asked for his practice in France. And the Pope realized the spirituality, the divinity in the holy saint Francis of Assisi. And the Pope said, "I declare that your sect will be acknowledged as it is our Church." So that sector means the sect. Now, in Kali Yuga, where there are a lot of conflicts and misunderstandings, and the word "sect" is understood very badly—it does not matter which religion or other sects—there is nothing negative, divine, or holy. You see, your country has a president, but you have a small NGO, and you are only five members. By the law of your country, among five, one is president, so president is president, but who has more members is a majority, the union, the power. Similarly, all are the same. So I met one from a great tradition, the Sikh religion. Sikh religion is a suit of Hinduism, Sanātana Dharma. Buddhism also. And Islam too, though they think they are from the different side, like the Bible side. Because the founder of Islam, Mohammed, was a warrior, a Kṣatriya, a Rajput, a Hindu. So it is a suit of the Hindu, Sanātana Dharma. And on the other side, you call it the Celtic. So, Sanātana Dharma, Celtics, then Judaism, these are the most oldest. So, but all are one. Yeah. How many people are we sitting here? We are all one, which means we are one human. Whom should we not respect here? Whom should we kill now? No one. Because we are one, so if you say God, Shiva, Brahma, Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, or Allah, or Holy Father, all, their name is called God. Like I gave the example of the president. So either the president of the state or your NGO, the president is still the president. Similarly, it does not matter in which land, which climate, or in which culture God incarnates, but there is only one word with three letters: God, Jyoti, God. Now, then we say God, Kṛṣṇa, or God Rāma, etc. But God has no name. God has no form. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said in the Bhagavad-gītā, the twelfth chapter, Arjuna is asking, "Bhagavān, what is better, to worship the individual God or an individual God?" Nirguṇa or Saguṇa, the formless God or personal God. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "Arjuna, both are good." Because both represent the One. But for this material body, the material senses and this worldly intellect, it is easier to perceive something that you can see, what you can imagine, what you can touch, smell, or decorate. It is easier. Nirguṇa is just like a sky. Finally, you have to come to that point. But after that, so personal God is the best. Every mother is a mother, but a child runs to its own mother. So, the own mother is a personal mother, and mother is just an impersonal mother. So, it is easier for us to hold something. If you cannot swim and you fall into deep water, you cannot hold the water. You just sink deeper and deeper. But if there is even one thread inside which you can hold, that thread can save your life. So we are all hanging on that one thread. O God of meek ones, O merciful ones, the thread of my life is in your hands. Please, can you pull this a little bit towards you? So, what we call, we are like a puppet in the hands of God. But God is only one. Why should we fight? If we understand and accept this, there will be no problem. I come to my point again. Then I am explaining to you. So in Sikh tradition, there is one guru paramparā that is called Nāmdhārī. They have a white turban, a different way of tying the turban, round, and thick like a tricot. So you know immediately that this person is from Nāmdhārī. Nam means God’s name, Gurudev’s name, and dhārī means adopted, accepted. Who took the mantra from the Gurudeva? Once you got the mantra forever and ever, your ātmā is merged into oneness. Like one drop falls into the ocean, and now you want to separate it, you cannot. And if you try to separate immediately, then you have to take a basket full. And in this, how many drops are in this basket? Now, you are the cause of one basketful of drops separated, and you never know where it will end. So, maybe one person who had that karma, and the aeroplane was cursed, and they all died in one. So this is how one person becomes negative inside. Becomes separate from Guru Bhakti. Now, that one takes all which is surrounded by that person all into the darkness. Therefore, that Namdhari means "initiated one": Guru Mukhi, not Man Mukhi. Guru Mukhi means one who heard the mantra from the mouth of the Guru Dev, ten, který slyšel mantru z úst Gurudeva. And manmukhī means? Or have a mantra of own mind. Ah, I know. Ah, it is okay. It is not okay. Yeah, it is okay, but not that okay. Namdhari and their Satguru Dev, his name was Jagjīt Siṅgh Jī. And in 2000, the millennium, there was a beautiful World Religious Conference. And many, many saints came. I was standing to one side and looking at all of them, from every religion. I saw a beautiful lake, and different colors of ducks were swimming. And one was like a swan, so the swan is swimming differently. So that was that Satguru Jagjīt Siṅgh Jī. I told one of those bhaktas, "Do you see the swan here?" He said, "No, Gurudev." I said, look, that is a swan. And that person did not study. He had not high, what you call, high education, no academic. That is it. Those who have too much academy, they have an epidemic of ego. That Swamiji, many of you have seen him. He was in Hamburg too. And in our ashram in Hamburg, we have his photo. Very simple, very great, but it is hard to realize who is who. Like in bhajan, it is said, I think from Brahma Nānjī or Lālā Nānjī, only who knows the diamond can say, yes, this is a diamond. Those who know the Dhyāna can say, yes, this is the Dhyāna. Debran Bhagavān. Beautiful Vajrayāna. Who are Gurudevkadās? When you see Gurudev for the first time, milan ho to aisā ho, what a union! Milan in Czech language is different, Miluška. So when we say that everybody, Czech people think, "Oh, it is a nice word: love, darling, lovely, dear one." So when you see the Gurudeva, what a union. I am walking towards him. He awakes me. What is awakening? The consciousness awakes, that is it. So, bhajan, you know, we will translate sometime. Well, unfortunately, this Satguru Jagjīt Siṅgh Jī passed away a few years ago. And I asked him in the aeroplane, his bhakti, I said, "Who is now the successor?" He said, "Gurudev has chosen a great one." Definitely, definitely. And then he said to me, "Guruji, only the lamp is changed, the flame is the same." So only the lamp, the pot, that is changed, but the flame is the same. So now you see here the flame, which is out of the ghee, or maybe oil, or maybe petroleum, or maybe what you call the candle wax, in a different pot. So the color of these lamps, the flame is the same. So, what will remain in this vessel, on that holy chair, to have that light? So it does not matter what the form is, or what it is made from; we have to do with that light of the Buddha. So even our uniform reminds us that we are the light of Ālapurījī Siddhapīṭha. We work for that. We surrender for that. We guide for that. We develop for that. And we belong to that, because we are that one. So we shall keep our uniform higher. And what color I chose a few years ago, and the color was chosen here in Strilky, in the presence of so many countries, organizers, and many bhaktas, many, many different colors. And then I chose, and the first color that I saw, I gave to Luděk from Kopřivnice. I said, "Put on your body and move and show everybody." Everybody said, "There is a nobody, there is nobody, anybody, or somebody," but we are all one body. And so everyone chose this color. When you go anywhere, you say, "Oh, yoga is a dead life." When the Czech flag comes, oh, the Republic of Czech, the Austrian flag comes, oh, the flag of the Republic of Austria, when the German flag comes, they say, oh, Austria’s neighbor country, Germany. So, my dear, that is our identity. We are known by this. Similarly, God gave one identity: the human body. Does not matter if it is Africans, Chinese, or Japanese, or Asia, Middle East, Near East, or Europe. Does not matter who is there. One human. That is God’s decision, so we are proud of having this body which God gave us, and therefore respect your body, love your body, take care of your body, and take nice nourishment. Similarly, take care of your uniform of yoga. In their life, there are always those who do not like, because human will go there where humans are sitting. And lions and tigers, they will go sit there where the lions and tigers are. And critics are always, fears are always. So that the lay who understand unite. But that one negative will take many with it. So many watch a crazy who shot the aeroplane. How many lost a life? So that shooting means our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, our ignorance—to create something is not easy. But to destroy is very easy. That is why God sent the humans here as a creator, protector, not a destructor. Proto Bůh poslal lidi, aby tvořili a ochraňovali, ne aby ničili. So, vahī in lekhe lagegā, just in santamīlī, that day will be counted in our life when we see the saint. In this Kali Yuga, we have to search where we can be. At least we should have a darśan of the picture. And that time will be counted as a human’s life when we are in good company, in the satsaṅg. So, coming to the sādhanā, to the seminar, you are lucky ones. And coming in the seminar, you have to create now the noble ideas, noble thoughts, not criticizing. Do not think anything negative. Try to purify antaḥkaraṇa, manabuddhi, citta, ahaṃkāra. So this seminar has a great significance for us. You are lucky, I am also lucky. You know, I get more benefit than you. For me, it is like a rehabilitation from all of saṃsāra’s karmas. This year, twice I have moved around the world. And a lot of pollution is there, but now all is relaxed. So, to sit together with our real brothers and sisters means our Gurudev’s family. So enjoy. Enjoy the spirituality. Keep silent. Do not talk too much. And completely keeping silent can put you into depression. Like when sometimes a doctor gives someone a little sleeping medicine, or tries to put them in an artificial sleep, that person is so weak they cannot bring back the power again. So it is easy to develop some techniques which are not authentic, which are not śāstroktāḥ. Śāstroktaha means not authentic literatures, and the techniques which are given by Śiva to the yogīs. Shiva is also known as Yogeśvara. Thousand names save Shiva. So too much, extremely doing something is not good. In that intensive inner observation, silence leads us to our past. Future, we do not know. We only hope. And hope is a walking stick, from cradle to grave. I will be, I will be, I will get, I will get. It is as if you do not know what will happen after one minute, one second. The past is gone, and in the past, we all did something. Consciously or unconsciously, purposely or innocently. We liked it, but others do not like it. So many, many problems from the past. So everyone’s hands are not so clean. There is hidden in the womb of the past that which should be born in the future. But it is already a miscarriage, too quickly born in your awareness. Maybe there is a problem with the parents, friends, marriage, many, many things. A few hours ago, I told you, in this modern civilization, in this Kali Yuga, the marriage system is a misconception. How many are happy after marriage, please? Actually, one or two years is okay. So, how many are happy who did not marry? They are also not happy. Gurudev, will I find a good partner? My answer is yes. I wish, Gurudev, is it horrible with my husband? Will I get rid of it? Yes. Wait, it will be. If not, then by the date. So, because inside we have fear and we do not want to meditate, because we will come to know who am I, therefore yoga in life, meditation is known as self-inquiry, not "Who am I?" but "How am I?" That is great. So dive deep as much as you can, according to your lungs. And your body will automatically pull you out again. Even if you want to go deep, your body is like a balloon; it will pull you out. So therefore, do not do it intensively. Slowly.
