O Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Deveśvara Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmījī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, and the eternal Satya Sanātana Dharma. Good evening and blessings of Mahāprabhujī, Alag Purī Siddhapīṭa Paramparā. Today is a beautiful day in every respect—pleasantly warm, bright, and early in Brahmamūhurta. The whole of nature is opening up. All living beings, especially the birds and bees, rejoice greatly, singing the glory of God. Winter is also beautiful, but spring is special. All situations that God created had a purpose. Now is the time when we should open ourselves. Perhaps we withdrew during the winter seasons. The days were shorter, darker. That was the most beautiful time of winter. Nature supports us again. To bring down even more darkness means clouds. Just as the day is short, and on top of that, beautiful clouds, gray within gray. Why? That is also not enough. Even though winter is so dark and the clouds as well, we close our eyes and meditate. God cannot create anything darker. Why? Because we seek the light. The light we seek is not what we see with our open eyes: the sun, moon, stars, or physical light—electricity, oil lamps, candles, flames of fire. Automatically, whether we know it or not, we close our eyes to see the true light of the breath. In meditation, when one says, "I see the light," that light is only physical. Yes, our entire body is filled with light. Every atom in the body shines, has much light. And so, all the souls in the body, which move with our circulation and generate the light, the movement. But all of this is also physical. Yet it gives us a bit of contentment. Even today in meditation, I saw great light. That was by chance. Somehow, the various cells of the body have come together in our Ājñā Cakra. It touched, it passed through the Ājñā cakras, and it has perceived our eyes, our inner eyes. But the question was posed to someone blind from birth, who knows nothing of what light means and what light is. They can only feel that it is warmth. But they have a light within themselves, and that light is also physical. Yet what they see is even closer to Ātma-Jyoti, the Light of the Ātman. And so, when we close our eyes for our calmness or a small joy, when we see the light upon closing our eyes, the Jīvātmā seeks the light itself, even within the Ātmā. Ātmajyoti has a completely different light, as they say, indescribable. Where there is no moon and no sun, no stars, but there is Jyoti, the light. It comes to us from time to time even in our sleep. In sleep, there is a radiance of the Ātma-Jyoti, because through the dream, the body of rays wanders far away from our physical body. And through the astral body, the Jīvātmā sometimes comes closer to the Ātmajyoti. That is why Nature or God has given us three stages: wakefulness, sleep, and dream. Jāgrat, Suṣupti, and Svapna. Dream, svapna, can only last a minute or half a minute. But in that space, time is different. In one minute, one can experience multiple lives. And so the speed of the astral body is faster through the Jīvātmā, faster than the mind. Thus, the Creator... the Creator... so that all living beings withdraw. But then one must awaken again. Some cannot awaken; they are in a coma. And when they are in a coma, a wasp, a bee comes and sings something. She awakens us. And these are the words of the Saint: Guru Vākya. Here is a beautiful little book, a bhajan by Sūradāsa. And that is in the session where the Bhajan was composed. It says: O my mind, repeat the name of Kṛṣṇa, the name of God. Follow the words of the Guru, steadfast in action, and associate with the saints. Follow the words of the Guru, steadfast beneath the moon and the sun. The words of the great souls never fade. The sun and the moon may change their course, but the words of the Master will never change. And to realize these words, engage in sādhu samāgama. It is about Satsaṅga, where the Sādhus are. And Sādhu means nothing, just a uniform. Sādhu means a simple, uncomplicated life. Simple living, higher thinking. Now, simple, easy living does not mean that we live like a pauper, renounce everything and so on. Simple means a way that returns from here, from the head, back into this area, the heart. If one remains only in the mind as intellect, intellectual thoughts, where there is no love, no simplicity, then it is like a plastic cap. But when it comes from the heart, then it is a true apple. We have a plastic apple here and a real one. I said, I will try the Sāgarpurī once. And he said, it is very good—very good, juicy, full of flavor, sweet, pleasant. Fruit is a divine blessing. It may be that someone feels unwell from other types of food. Other kinds of food might cause discomfort or nausea, but when one eats fruit, there is a pleasant feeling throughout the entire system. This is a sāttvic nourishment, and therefore it is said that yogīs should be vegetarians. Now, the Frutarians are of two kinds. One is only fruit; that is Phala. Phala means fruit. But they eat everything except grains. That is not Frutarian. Also drinking milk is not a problem either. Perhaps one can take nuts. It is a practice, it is a habit. After a long time, our body returns to nature again. One piece of fruit is enough. One fruit is enough. And so they say, Frutarian. Fruit has a simple quality, but inside it contains everything: vitamins, as well as the various minerals, everything. So, simple living is the magical skin. Our naming, our words should be very simple. Simple means love. Simple means grace. A saint or one who has attained more spirituality, their words become more pleasant. Your words become more pleasant because he speaks beautiful, gentle words; there is no need to philosophize. It is like this: everyone says, it would be good if someone would still speak to me or please stay a few minutes with me, let us talk a little more. Harsh words, filled only with intellect and superficiality, they are boring. So, the company of the sādhus is the best. Sādhu means simple. Sādhu means sādhana, practice, discipline. Discipline. Whoever practices every day has this quality or these attributes in their heart, very soft, very beautiful. When one is selfish, when one is angry, or when one hides something, speaking behind someone's back and so on, one is still in darkness, which means always in a coma. But it comes from the coma, from the wasp or a bee that descends into your heart. A bee gathers nectar. So, the nectar is an immortal substance and it captures our Ātmajyoti, the light of the Ātman in the heart. There are many Upaniṣads, and there is one Upaniṣad. In this book, he writes in the heart. It is a very small place in the heart, like a little sheath. And there is the light, a very soft, blue light. You can't see my endography there. I have done my endoscopy five times or six times. And every time I looked into the garden on the monitor to see if I could truly see the light there. Yes, there is the light, but there is the other as well. So, that means, physically one cannot see it. So let us speak in Sādhu Saṅgat Kījī. O my mind, go where the Satsaṅga is. In Satsaṅga, the words should be very simple and clear so that all listeners can understand. And so, as I said, the Sanskrit language is a very beautiful language, very, very beautiful. But ordinary people understand nothing. So, someone comes and gives a lecture, like Dr. Śānti, she comes and speaks Sanskrit, no one understands. And they will all say, yes, good, good, Śānti, very good, thank you. But when she speaks the dialect of Austria or Viennese dialect, all the Viennese sitting here are very pleased. Such a Satsaṅga, Sādhu, Guru Vākya, is the language that everyone understands and that finds a place in every heart. And so, spring is something that is an awakening within oneself, inwardly. Automatically, the energy enters our body and everyone becomes lively. Yes, every blossom is opening now. All kinds of vegetation begin to grow. It is a beautiful fragrance. Yes, a newly born baby, a little baby, has a different fragrance from the body. Of course, the Elder as well, just as some of us. We also have a good fragrance, which means nothing bad. But it has a bit of a mixture of garlic, wild garlic, and other kinds. Because we have a different quality through a certain kind of food and a certain type of drinks. But these are matters of the body. Spring is awakening. The more you wake up, the more movement there is, more happens, more unfolds outside, and you see how beautiful nature is. There is no conflict within oneself. Perhaps in winter some conflicts arose, but now everything fades away and unites into a beautiful fragrance. Yes, that suddenly becomes boring as well. Yes, we do not always want to be a small child. And then suddenly a beautiful summer arrives. Wow, summer, my God. All green and such, dense forest and many herbs, that, that, that. Yes, now is young, now is the time, puberty is already gone, now it is the real life to work, beautiful, work, work, but with full power, earn a lot and all that, now you should give back. This is called the third āśrama, the Gṛhastha āśrama. Prepare, withdraw, and renounce. Renunciation, that is Tyāga, to give everything. What do you have? You must give. If you give nothing, it is lost. And therefore, all your money, give everything to your children. And have a little money to go hiking or to meditate in an āśrama. The most beautiful time is now. Meditate beautifully, relax. Paripan̄ca, no Paripan̄ca. Yes, then winter comes again. How beautiful. Finally, the horses come home. Every bird returns to the nest. All the goats and cows come into the stable. And the babies are happy there. And they take everything from you, the milk. You become the giver once again. You give and you give. Breath Jyoti. Then the light of the Ātman will come. And so all yogīs, all practitioners, all saints, regardless of religion or culture, all have a longing for God and seek God within you, and God Himself is also outside. If someone says, "I do not believe in God," but you believe, you believe that you believe nothing, yet I believe that you do believe. Who believes in nothing, in God and His Mother or Father, dies, he is holding a funeral. Why? A funeral is also a ritual, it is also a ceremony. Why do you do that? If you believe in nothing, then you lay your father on the street when he is dead. Just as you give away your old clothes somewhere. No, we cannot do that. That means, in some way or another, everyone believes. And that is why it is immense. If you believe in nothing, this kind of belief that many desire does not mean that the person is bad. No, they are a good person. No one is bad; it was only ourselves because we have such thoughts. And Sūradāsa said here in his verse, the words I speak to you are not my words. These are his words, not my words. And therefore, oh my mind, Sūradāsa was a bhakta of Kṛṣṇa. So Sūradāsa has Saguṇa-Bhakti and Kabīradāsa has Nirguṇa-Bhakti. That is the difference. Nirguṇa and Saguṇa. Saguṇa means personal deity and Nirguṇa means omnipresent. But both are the same. As in the Bhagavad Gītā, Arjuna asked Lord Kṛṣṇa, what is the difference and what is best to believe? So Kṛṣṇa said, both are good, but as human beings, for us it is easier to walk our path if it is a personal path or a personal deity. But Arjuna, no matter which path you take, in the end I am there, at the door of Brahmaloka, I sit there. So Kṛṣṇa means God. You can say Kṛṣṇa or use other names. So, know the names of Kṛṣṇa, speak the words of the Guru, and be familiar with the company of the sādhu. And always to remember and repeat the Name of God, the mantra. Believe the words of the Master and go into Satsaṅga. Yes, you should study, but truly study. Study your existence, your life, the meaning of life. Why have I come here? Studying means recognizing the meaning of life. And to recognize and learn that is the purpose of Satsaṅga. Let us enter the treasure realm. Other kinds of studying create a space, a hole, that is never full. Never full. In one lifetime, you eat 80 tons. 80 tons. And in the end, it is still empty. It will never be full. These types of hunger will always be hungry. Always hungry. And that is a bug. And bug means hunger. And many are hungry. One is hungry for money. One is hungry for position. Another is hungry for power. One is hungry to have a good partner. Many things. And another hunger is nourishment. All these kinds are a form of nourishment. Greed is a nourishment. Longing is a nourishment. And this longing is never fulfilled. But when the Jñāna, the Ātma-Jñāna comes, then everything is complete. And then there is no karma, no longing, no extension, only one: I was once and multiplied greatly, but now I want to return again to my Self. So that means, every bird flies back to its nest in the evening. Every living being returns in the evening to where one belongs. Thus is the Manuṣya, man seeks his nest, and that is Ātma, in Ātma, one with Ātma. Learn virtues, devotion, and Bhagavat. Thus, learn good qualities, devotion, and Bhagavat, devotion to God. What more can I tell you? Without the name of Kṛṣṇa or the name of God, everything is nothing. It is pointless. Why are you wasting your life? All these others are meaningless. In the end, there is nothing. That is it. In the end, there is nothing. Not even the body goes along with us. The body will also say, now it is enough. Ātma jñāna towards God. The name of God is like nectar. Drink, drink, drink. This is the nectar. The thirst of Tṛṣṇā. We have spoken about Tṛṣṇā. Into the Strelke. We have spoken about ātman, cintan, and cintā. And so, the Tṛṣṇā. Tṛṣṇā means such a longing, always having a longing, it is never fulfilled, never, never. So, Tṛṣṇā, you should not walk in hope, for that hope can never be fulfilled. Sūradāsa hari caraṇa tāki surati jiset, concentrate, remain, meditate at the lotus feet of God. Make your janma successful through this; through this, you will bring success to your life. So, we think, what is the meaning of our life? But that does not mean that we do not work. Karma must be done. Arjuna said to Kṛṣṇa, why, Kṛṣṇa, do you work so much. He said, Arjuna said to Kṛṣṇa, what do you need? You have everything. What are you still working for? Kṛṣṇa said, yes, there is nothing in the universe that I cannot have. Everything is attainable for me, yet still, I act, I work. What I will do, have the others do as well. Work through that. It is better to do something than to do nothing. When you are lazy and cannot do anything at all, you take a thick blanket of karma and always disappear under your thick blanket. Throw away your blanket of laziness and act, do something. Then suddenly spring will awaken within you, and beautiful light will come. Nothing else, nothing will happen. So, what is the meaning of life? Everything we have achieved, yes, whether good or bad, remains. Our name remains, a memory, but it is gone. The baby has flown away, and the bird has also flown away. The nest simply lies there. What remains in the nest? All kinds of dirt from the babies and droppings from the bird. So, please do not leave any rubbish behind in this world. That is called karma. Cleanse everything that then simply goes away. Oh human, even a cat or a dog that does something with two legs, it gives the earth to it. Yes or no? Work, do something, do not let your laziness take over. It means karma. Your actions, your thoughts. Give something good if you can. There is still time now for us to correct our mistakes. And when you say, constantly remember a mistake, that means all the karma comes to you, all the dirt comes to you. Others move forward in purity. So, every day the Name of God. Calm my mind, O my heart, your entire life belongs to Hari. Without the Name, what is the meaning of life? So let it be something beautiful, write something beautiful. Whoever reads will be inspired. Just one word. Write one word, but something good. Apart from your anger, your hatred, your envy, your jealousy, and so on, if you write a harsh word. That is engraved, one says engraved, inscribed on the paper of your consciousness. Forever will walk with you, in every life with you. And so before we go, we shall delete it all—the waves and everything we have written or spoken, reconciliation. It is very difficult, reconciliation. Yes? Man, man is too proud. I will not do it. Yes? You will also go. But that will pass. So therefore, love is so gentle, so soft, and do not give your work to someone else. This blanket of laziness, blanket of your sleep, blanket of your courage, and what you do not want, but even though you do not want it, it still comes back to you. The body always needs activation, and through this, new energy and new souls enter the body. Thus the beautiful, magnificent twilight and our indriyas, our thoughts, our vṛttis, our beautiful feelings, all begin to blossom. And so reflect until the next webcast, when I may speak a little in German again to learn. What is the purpose of it? Never do anything out of your greed or ego. Do it with love. This is not only for you, but for everyone. And so it says not thorny bushes, but fruit trees and also the berries, so that she can consume all living beings. We plant a beautiful apple tree, and the apple tree grows very old. But every year there are many, many apples. The one who planted it is already dead, but he lives in this apple tree. His work, the good apple, comes to us. The fruits come to us as well. Not only to the one who has planted. So plant the beautiful tree so that everyone can have fruits. And so it is said, you inherit everything from your parents. And so, we inherit everything from our master. Who has understood nothing from the Master, can do nothing. To inherit this spiritual quality from the master. And so write something beautiful, speak something beautiful, do something beautiful. Build a beautiful house, no matter who will live there, but they will be joyful. How old is it? 200 years? 2000 years. And where are those who built? Where are they? We do not know. But still, everyone comes to Austria and comes to Vienna. Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Prague, Budapest, Vienna, a bit of Paris, a bit of Rome, but Vienna is Vienna. So, in the spring in Vienna, go walking on the Ring, there is a song. So, who has done all this in the design of the Viennese, for what purpose? They are not here. What did they do? They have done it for children, for the coming generations. People often tell me, why do you make such gestures and put in so much effort, this and that. Perhaps you want to satisfy your ego. I said, yes, I hope that my ego will truly be satisfied then. But it is not what one thinks. And who am I to build raw makers? I didn’t even give away a small skiff with cement there. It is all thousands of people who have placed this burden on my shoulder, that I should continue to inspire, that it should be built. I am sitting here, but that is growing, the people are building that over there. I have built nothing. I am not alone. That is that. I am not alone. Today, I read a saying in the hospital from an actor or singer—I don’t know who he was. And he has a poster there that says, I am not alone. So, we are not alone; we are all together. And that will be every help; whatever is put into it, it will be as it is, not just for a few years, it will remain, a memory. And the karmas return to us as good. Every stone that is placed into the Omāśrama will always vibrate that Sāgar Purī from Vienna has donated a stone. And where is the stone? There! It says Sāgar Purī, Sāgar. Sāgar means infinite ocean. Omāśrama is spiritual, a sacred place. There is something beautiful in this as well. Do something good. So, in Vienna, we have a church, Stephansdom. And how many tons does it weigh in the bell? Yes. Okay, Gießen wasn’t like that, but lifting so many tons up 100 meters high. How many horses did they use there to slowly, slowly lift a crane up? No, 20,000 horses. Ah, where now 20 tons, yes, 20,000 kilos. And in Linz, my God, that is also the second largest. Why did these people do that? Why? Why didn’t they just lie down on the banks of the Danube and roll around a bit in the sun? It was nice. Showering, bathing, good. They are there when this bell rings in the Stephansdom. It is not the bell. These are the inner voices of the people who, with such love and devotion, made this bell and brought it up, so beautifully weighing 20 tons. My God, this is like a bomb. Perfectly balanced. You should also do something, you must also take action. Not just throw plastic bags around. Yes, that is not good deeds. Build something beautiful. And such beautiful trees, truly magnificent. Such is life. A person leaves behind a trace. Everyone will marvel, everyone will say, how beautiful. And when a word comes, like "how beautiful," it means you have created a beautiful vibration in someone's mind or thoughts, and he or she said, "how beautiful." Yes, Mr. Mozart. Mr. Mozart, born in Warsaw. Where? In Salzburg. Yes, the sound of Salzburg resonates throughout the whole world and in all operas. Millions of people listen, and how pleasantly beautiful. So create a sound that makes your hearts and your thoughts, through your words, the sound that will always resonate, sound of eternity. This is the purpose of human life. And there you have already realized your prāṇāyāma. You are automatically in Brahmaloka. So, let us continue working so that Grandma becomes quick already. Then Puja is performed. And everyone, everyone here must participate and you must kiss a stone. In grandmothers, you must, yes, but you must remember, I do not know which stone is yours. So that I have yours as well. You must know who your child is. You should know who your child is. Dogs give birth to around 80 puppies, and when they give birth, they return to the stable. Every baby immediately finds its mother. Immediately. And so you too should immediately find the stone that is yours and you must caress it. But it should not be the name of false stones. So, each and every step will be counted. Each and every voice will be heard. And each and every thought will be recorded in your phenomena. Thank you, that is enough for today. Tomorrow there will be another webcast in Vienna, Strelke. And I am happy to see you, either in Strelke or through the webcast. Ādi Om, all love, all goodness. In the name of Bhagavān, the Lord of Lords, Devīśvara Mahādeva, Madhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, and the eternal truth of Sanātana Dharma, Om Śānti Śānti Śānti. And so, when you come, I make a joke, it is reality. Your right hand and left hand touch your pillar from the Omāśrama. Close your eyes, you will hear your name. Yes, if you have put something into a Zillinge, yes, a large one, not just a Zillinge, a large one. Do you know what greatness is? A great one, twins, right? Good. All the best, Hari Om.
