Part 1: The Law of Karma and the Sanctity of All Life No one likes to be killed, and it is not a question of only killing. There are two things. First is the pain and suffering. They are innocent animals. They have no one to complain to. They have no shelter. Second, God gave them life, and we interrupt the life which God has given. So they have to be born again and come further. He is a stupid one. The Dalai Lama is one of the most stupid men. Yes. All the politics, nothing else. His problem is to get China back. Not China, Tibet. And you know, when the tiger has the deer already in its mouth, you cannot take it out from the tiger anymore. So, Tibet is there, it’s okay. It became the province of China. Why not? In many histories, it was either China or India. It was not Tibet. The King of the Himalayas was known as Śiva, and the Buddhists killed that king and put a Buddhist monk in that palace, and they called him the Lama. So this Lama is not a spiritual leader, only political. He is born to serve, and he eats cow meat. Buddha never ate, never ate, Buddha, even a little tiny fish. When Buddha was walking, he was so careful that he did not step on any creature. We organized the Dalai Lama program in Australia with Yogananda Life and the Australian Organization of the Vegetarian Society. So there were about 600 to 700 people in Darling Harbour, Sydney. And he spoke, he spoke mostly only 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and then asked the questions only. So one of them asked the Lama, "Are you vegetarian or not?" So he said, "No, I’m not vegetarian. When I came to India, I became vegetarian, but I was ill. So my doctor said I should eat beef, and I’m eating." Eighty percent of the people got up immediately and went away. So, there is no compromise in the way of killing someone. Even in God’s kingdom, there is no compromise. Don’t think that we are human and we are the ruler and we can do all. No, no. You have other intellect, you have other kind of thinking, but life is the same. Whether you kill a human or an animal, you have killed. How many fish you ate, that many times you have to be born as a fish and caught by a hook. Then you can come to the next point. How many chickens you ate, that many times you have to be born as a chicken and have your throat cut. It is a long way; don’t worry. The creation will last long, so there’s no question of whether you eat meat or not. After the animal has died, it is also said you should not eat dead food. Animals eat animals, but humans do not. Many, but you are taking again many karmas. Each bite of the one, one bite of the meat, yeah. If I would have to touch the meat, my whole body will go like this. I can’t even look at a dead body’s meat. Yes, they also have life. Yeah, but it is said that you should not destroy the plant. And you should eat the vegetable which is called the fruit vegetable, which is ripe and is given, that’s all. So, don’t destroy the plant. My son was an organic lettuce in the ground. We’ll not pull it out. It’s the same idea as the fruit dropping. So, did you learn something from your son? Thank you. Hello. Gaṇeśa. Oh, good morning, sir. Thank you. If you have to go to the high court, the Supreme Court, it doesn’t matter how much you will try to avoid, but the judge will say that everything I accept is okay, but it is you killed, that’s it. So we are. Giving the punishment, not that how kind you are, how humble you are. In this, we are only giving because you killed. So there must be someone, some lawyer, advocate for the animals too, on the highest justice of God, Dharmarāja. And there, only that lawyer is a holy saint who is ready to give his own life, but not others’. So, that’s what our people, you should come to satsaṅg. You may not need to come one day for yoga exercises. That doesn’t matter; you will become ill, that’s all. What will happen? You will die. It cannot happen more than that, but the satsaṅg will remove, purify your karma, all. So, like she was asking a question, what is her name, Tara? So, we give you the name Tārā, okay? Yeah, Divine Mother Tārā, you know? Yes, Tārā. Tārā means star. So, how to get rid of the past karmas through satsaṅg? If you don’t go to the satsaṅg, then you will go somewhere. Then somewhere you will be again confused, or you have to change some other way. But as far as I can see, from my self-realization or the realization of the great, great sages, only one, only one, and that is it. Love each and every entity, if not more, then at least as much as you love yourself. You have a beautiful dog, and now this evening your wife would say, "Let’s eat our dog." Will you do it? And you have one child, and in the evening you said, "Okay, today we will eat our child." Will you do that? Why don’t you take all creatures as brothers and sisters? Already you are God-realized. Already you are God. Because you love and protect all, love them, feed them, don’t eat them. So, at home, is your dog or your child? You love equally. When the dog is ill, you will go to the doctor. You will give the treatment. When the dog dies, suddenly the house is empty. Children are unhappy. The whole family is unhappy. When we have something in the throat, something, ah, ah, and pulled onto. And can you imagine a fish, with a hook in its throat, living still, and then pulled out? That fish doesn’t die once; every second, she’s dying. And that pain is the karma that will come to you. If you believe or do not believe, belief does not change anything. We can put a dark curtain, and we say, "Now is the sunset." Okay, we all say, "Oh, it’s the sunset now." We believe, but it is not sunset. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a fish, or a goat, or a chicken, every mother loves the child, and every father loves the child. When the mother bear comes, you go and tell her, "Go away, I take your baby." Before you take the baby, the mother will take you. Therefore, if you eat, all your spiritual practice is zero. It doesn’t matter who is who; they will challenge. He is a politician, he is money, he is power. In my yard, there are more sheep. That’s all. How much are these people doing to kill others? Now in India, in Nepal, we have a big problem with missionaries. They pay the money, they give the money and convert people. Until now, you are Christian; you can eat the beef. Big, big... big problem. In Nepal, big, big problem. Which you had problems in South America? God said, "Jesus may be, thou shalt not kill." And what was it when they were killing people to accept the religion? So it is the same thing if you kill humans or animals. You take the new baby from the cow, and the cow sees, she feels, but she can’t do anything. She is not free. She is depending on someone, and she has no one to complain to. Only her heart is bleeding. And, cow, when the cow says, when you take a baby cow, say, oh, you know, she feels her womb. There is not a sound from her vocal cords, but there is a sound from the mother’s body. Sorry, I took your time. This is a very, very sensitive question, a very sensitive question. Therefore, don’t worry, don’t do anything. Don’t do prayer, don’t meditate, don’t do anything, but don’t do one thing: don’t eat animals, killed animals. Rest, I will take your responsibility. I will replace your meditation. I will replace your prayers, everything. But you help me, that no touch, no touch. Even one week you don’t get anything eating, ten weeks you don’t get anything eating. Don’t kill and eat. When there is nothing to eat and you have to survive as a human to do something good, then it is said, maybe, but if there are some green plants, leaves, or herbs, then don’t kill anything. Viśva prāṇī merī ātmā hai. All entities of the world are My Ātmā, Myself. Ātmā sohī Paramātmā. This ātmā, which is within you and me, is Paramātmā, the Supreme, the God. And He knows what we do. Here now, what you did and what you think now, what I told you, in this room there are only two who know. Completely, thousand percent, you know. There are two who know about you now. One is yourself. You can’t hide in front of you, and second is God. So these two are always with you: yourself and God. One man came, and two friends came to become disciples from some master. Master said, "Okay, I will first test you." You have to go through an examination. So they said, "Okay, oh, we are ten minutes late, and you can go on." And the master said, "Bring me two pigeons, the birds." So both of them caught one pigeon and brought it. Yes, Master, here is this bird. Master said, "Okay, go somewhere where no one sees, and kill this bird and bring it to me." So one man went to the other side of the room, killed the pigeon, and brought it. So, Master, here is that. He said, "Okay, put it here." The other one, go and kill this pigeon where no one sees. Okay. He went into the bathroom and he came back. Said, Master, I was in the bathroom and you said no one sees, but I see myself that I’m killing this bird. He said, "Yes, correct. Then, tie your eyes." So he put a cloth on his eyes in the bathroom, and he came back. He said, "Master, I couldn’t kill this bird." He said, "Why?" Because the bird sees I’m killing him. Oh, just put some cloth or something on his eyes too. So he tied it with some cloth and went into the bathroom with a knife. And he came back again. He said, "Master, I still can’t kill." He said, "Why? Why could the pigeon see you?" He said, "No, but you told God sees everywhere." So I closed my eyes, I closed the eye of the pigeon, but can you tell me how to tie the eye of the God? He said, "Now you are the successful one. You will be the right one to become my disciple." Free this bird. And then the master took this dead pigeon, which the other one had, and he said, "Now, my child, sorry for you, but go fly." And he flew. The story of Devpurījī. So God sees everywhere. Where is there no God? Can you tell any part? And as far as you know yourself, you know everything. So in this room now, what you think, what I taught, what you imagine, everything, only you know and God knows. Therefore, human life is given to work out, purify, and free oneself from the past life’s karma. But at the same time, you have to be careful that you don’t create the same karma in this life. Out of our ignorance and out of our weakness, as our Manipūra, Mūlādhāra Chakra, and Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra had been telling. Same thing, many people, the human now, they think we can kill the animals and eat them. It is one of the biggest ignorances and the biggest karma, or not a karma, but the sin. There is somewhere written in Christian scriptures that Jesus said, and I read this on one wall written, big, big restaurant, vegetarian restaurant, there was written, it was in one city in Europe called Novi Sad, ex-Yugoslavia, Serbia. Don’t eat those who have eyes. God said, or Jesus said, don’t eat those who have eyes. That’s enough. Already clearly told. Also said that when ill people used to come, he said, "You are ill because you don’t eat what you should eat." And you are eating what you should not eat. Eat the grains from the field, the nuts and milk from the cow, and the honey that the bees bring, nectar. It means the grains, nuts, milk, fruits, and honey. Now, in the whole world, the honey bees are dying because of the pesticides. There will be no scientist who can produce honey exactly like the honey that bees bring, and there will be no one who can create a honey bee again. Like we say, dinosaurs, we find somewhere in... How many millions of years they were, but can you create one now? Though you found skulls and everything, you can’t give them soul and life. Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā... If all this disappears, then you will not have fruits. No apples, no cherries, no bananas, no what you call the pears, many berries, there will be no fruits. You like the good apple, but you can see the picture. We will read in the history that yes, there were apples and bees. It will be only in the pictures and histories. What a sad thing it will be. So, nature balances, nature maintains itself, and we should not suck out the blood of the Mother Earth with more and more pesticides. All the mental problems, all the physical diseases, the cancers, increasing day by day, and this is because of the pesticides. We are killing ourselves day by day, slowly, slowly, through this poison. So karma, past life karma is here that we can work out in this life through the satsaṅg and through the wise words of self-realized masters. There are many masters, and there are two kinds of masters. One is called Lakṣaratī and one is called Vācaratī. Lakṣārāti means one who has its aim and destination very clear for self-realization or liberation. For that person, this life is only a journey, not a destination. Therefore, try to survive, to walk on this path without greed and without causing the death of others. Do not take away. Vācaratī is the only speaker, what you call the bookworms, theories, read and read and read the theory. Theory, tons of theory is nothing compared to a grain of practice. So, as sometimes I used to say, your native Indians, American Indians, one of the wise persons said, When the last tree will be chipped off and the last fish will die, oh man, then you will realize that you cannot eat your money. So now people are concentrated on creating and earning money. Money, money... but you can’t eat. And you can’t take a single dollar with you when you die. All your properties and everything will remain here. You will go, carrying on your own back, your karma. Like Jesus had to carry, if it was true, the cross on his own back. So, you are the next one to carry the karmas, and these karmas also include what you eat, what you drink, the society with whom you spend time, and what you think. So, these four different kinds of karmas which we can do have great meaning. So, we need the quality, not the quantity, and quality is the nectar of wisdom. That nectar makes us immortal. Not only reading this and that, it inspires us. It is motivation-giving, but it cannot liberate. You are very hungry, and there is a beautiful picture on the wall with a very nice menu. Good vegetables and this and that, very nice, and good fruits, and for children, nice ice creams and everything. And we are very hungry. But we can’t eat. It’s only a picture. Similarly, intellectual knowledge is only a picture. But intellect is very important, but put this in practice. And put in this practice means self-realization or that knowledge. That one is dear to God. That one is, and God made the humans as his helper. And God gave everything to the human. But the human said, "Now, God, I will kill you." So God put a, quickly, quickly, the combination lock. So you can’t open your kuṇḍalinī and the chakras. There’s a combination lock. So you see how, you know, my dear, all the holy saints, all who were the incarnations, Sooner or later, the human tries, or they did, to kill them. After they begin to cry, after they realize, oh God, what a great mistake we did. The whole world is crying on Good Friday, how Jesus was crucified. But at that time, no one cried except his mother and a few relatives. And you understand, all went, but only the mother. She stayed under the cross, crying and crying, and she leaned her head against the log. Where Jesus was crucified and blood was dripping on her. Where they were, some came for her, but only Mother knows what it was. So, people are ready to kill such persons. It doesn’t matter who was Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Buddha. Buddha had to escape. He escaped to China, though he was a great person. Śaṅkarācārya was poisoned. So, my dear, as soon as you become great and holy, people are jealous and they try to destroy you. But they can destroy your body, but not that light. And this is, we have to come to the satsaṅg. If you miss the satsaṅg, you have missed a big chance. If you don’t practice, it will get lost. If you have planted and organized one field, there is a lot of crops—weed or wheat or corn or other things, like soy—then you have to take care of the weed which grows there. And you have to take care of the other animals, so they will not destroy your whole field. So take care. When you drive the car, you have to observe, watch your traffic rules, and all four directions. A driver has to be alert. Every second, a driver knows what’s happening in all four directions. Behind, left, right, and front, the driver has all mirrors there, and you always have to observe. You are talking with your friends, sitting and relaxing, laughing and everything, but your concentration is on the road because you are driving 150 km or 200 km per hour. So our spirituality is like that. It doesn’t matter where you sit or what you talk about; you must be aware of your path and my path. Yeah, and so the master is that pilot. So very soon, on the runway—and the runway is our life—we will take off, and we are all going to the Brahmaloka. Okay, beautiful, beautiful. So, you know, I’ve been coming here for 35 years, and previously, I came only for one person. For me, it’s not a quantity, but the quality of the bhaktas. If I can liberate one, it is possible. It is like thousands, millions. And so, if you miss the satsaṅg, then the whole family life will become disturbed, and you are nowhere. So listen everywhere, go to satsaṅg everywhere. Part 2: The Path of Practice and the Nature of Svādhiṣṭhāna Wisdom is wisdom, and light is light. But you must follow the path your master has given. Most of us are in the afternoon of our lives; the major part is already past. Our years are now limited. We must hurry and manage everything within this time. If you keep changing—once here, two weeks there, one month somewhere else, and then you are only present when Swāmījī comes—you remain empty all the time. Upar se bhare, nīce se jhare, Guru Mahārāj kyā kare? Do you understand? From above we are filling, pouring the water, but below there is a hole, and everything drips out. What should the master do? What should one do when everything is getting lost? First, repair the bottom. Then it becomes complete, pūrṇa. Pūrṇam adaḥ, pūrṇam idaṁ, pūrṇa... Therefore, if you neglect your satsaṅg, you are lost. If you neglect your exercises, you have missed it. Your illness will attack you. And if you don’t do your kriyās, your sādhanās, your mantras, then you are already far away, gone back. My dear, in a river, you can only dip once. You cannot dip a second time in the same water. You dip and come out. The second time you dip, that water is no longer there; it has already gone far. New water will come. Do you understand, Mr. Deen? Try to dip once, twice—you cannot. Life is passing. If you come out once and then come in again, that atmosphere, that divine energy, is no longer there. Many will realize and understand what Maheśvarānanda was telling. That is why many people do not like me, because I tell it very strictly. It is a challenge. It does not matter who is who. If it meets, it will never come to God’s heart inside. You may imagine, "Yes, God is with me." He is with everybody, you know. You have to become God, to be God. It is loving in the heart, so we have to become one with God. It is so simple, very happy, and all creatures are happy. The whole balance is on the earth. No pollution, no problems. So practice your kriyā, practice your āsanas and prāṇāyāma, and practice your meditation. Never miss the satsaṅg. Never miss the satsaṅg. And when you do not know what to talk about in the satsaṅg, then just call me. I will appear. Yes, and now it is very easy to appear through Skype. You will see me here, and Swami will say, "Mr. Dean, you are not here." So, the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is a very interesting chakra. You have stolen my subject, but something was very good, so I am not sorry for that. Sorry, okay. Hello, yes, hello. Agnya Chakra, get off. Please repair my Agnya Chakra. Sometimes we have to blow through. Okay, hello, hello. Oh my God. I spoke for 30 minutes about nothing. Oh yes, everything is existing in the space. Whatever you speak exists in the space. It will exist for hundreds of thousands of years. Now people are trying to get the voice of those who died, voices that were not here. But their voice is still resonating in the universe. The universe is big enough, a big file. You can hear the dialogue with your father and mother. Though your mother and father passed away long ago, it is coming. The technique is coming. Through meditation, you can see all. And when you come to the grandmother or grandfather, the grandfather will say, "My child, did I tell you to do this, my son? Give me an answer." "Mama, I don’t know." "Yes." Okay, so again we are coming to the position of the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra. We spoke, and it is just a little above the Mūlādhāra Chakra. Color activities are energy, the joy and hope, the hope to come up now. But if you do not work to achieve what you hope for, then it is said: hope is a walking stick from cradle to grave. Your whole life you will have hope, hope, but you have done nothing for it. You are only hoping from birth till the grave. This hope is a walking stick. If we practice, then we can give up the stick. We will reach the grave, but we will not come back anymore, because we get liberation; we are free. Then our spiritual energy, our ātmā, will be here helping others. So it does not matter when you died, how many million years ago; still your consciousness, your energies are around the earth. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā, Mahāprabhujīp Karatā, He Kevalam. He helps them, supports them, so it does not get lost. Yes, the bodies got lost. Every element will merge into its origin, but the consciousness, that spiritual energy, will remain. Those who think, pray, or remember will receive this energy or the karma. That means that as much as you take, that much it grows. That is called Pūrṇa. Pūrṇa means complete. What we take from the complete is complete. And what remains is also complete. Pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. At that time you become the Pūrṇa, the self-realized, the complete. As long as the body exists, there is a tolerant space. It can happen that you fall down, you fail. You may be the best champion or player, but judgment is there when you win the game. You kick the ball into the goal, but you shoot one more time, and there you failed. Ah, that is it. So the last step—we can miss our steps. Therefore, you should know the last steps: whether you have some guilt or not, and to clean it. There is a beautiful, nice story. There was one master who had a long beard, a little longer than mine. He had many disciples, and the master had a very nice position. All the people in the village respected him very much. One day, the master was walking with his disciples to the market. About twenty or thirty disciples were with him. There was a shop owned by a Muslim. This Muslim shopkeeper wanted to make a joke. He did not mean it, really, but just some stupid thoughts came. He said, "Good morning, Master, how are you?" The master said, "I am fine, thank you. How are you? I have one question, yes. What is the difference between your beard and the tail of a donkey?" The master just walked away. The disciples wanted to kick him. The master said, "No, no, come on, let him." They went. That shopkeeper was very unhappy. "Why was I so stupid that I told such a thing to such a nice person?" People said to the master, "Can we go and give him a lesson?" He said, "No, no, leave it." About forty years, fifty years passed. Now the last days of the master came, and he knew that in one day or half a day he would pass away. So he told his disciples, "Please go and call that shopkeeper." "Why? He was so nasty." He said, "It does not matter, go and call." So they went and said, "Master is remembering you and would like to see you." He was so sad. He said, "I do not know how to show my face to the Master, that I told you, 'What is the difference between your beard and the tail of the donkey?'" He came and said, "I am sorry, I am sorry, Master." The master said, "No, no, it is okay. Okay, my son, you know, I did not want to die or go away from this world because I owe you one answer. If I do not answer, then I have to come back again in this human life to answer you. And then, I do not know how many stupid things will happen. So, my son, my answer is this: yes, there is a difference." And he passed away. So we owe to everyone for everything. Therefore, this life is very, very fragile. Physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, politically, economically—in every aspect we have to be careful because we have to pay back. We have to get the answers. And so the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra is where the awakening will take place, where the energy will take place. The body where this Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra is, and the color appears beautiful orange, like dawn, morning dawn. When the winter dark night, the long winter night, and you go to the mountains or the beach, and there is no fog, how beautiful the dawn is. And then the sun comes out, a very nice red. That is Mūlādhāra, and that radiance is the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra, the awakening of consciousness. That is why many masters try to give the instructions for meditation. The tattva of this chakra—tattva means the element—is water, which you drink. As we spoke already, it is flowing. It is flowing. What remains flowing remains pure. What remains stuck becomes stinky water. And so the energy is flowing. In Mūlādhāra, it was solid, frozen, and now it is getting open. It is flowing. It is like the light, very gentle. Energy is flowing, but you must control this energy. Do not let it get lost somewhere. So the tattva, the water mantra, the bīja mantra of the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is very beautiful; it is called Vāṁ. It holds the energy back. It helps. The kriyās for this are two: Vajrolī Mudrā and Amarolī Mudrā. Vajrolī Mudrā and Amarolī Mudrā are not so easy to perform and master. Khecharī Mudrā, where the tongue goes in. Just about twelve or fourteen days ago, I met one yogī in Haridwar. He is also a Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar of Māyākāra. He became Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar after me, after ten others, and he is a yogī. He is a very good friend or teacher of the yoga of Rāmdev. You know, you have heard the name Rāmdev in India teaching. So Rāmdev’s ashram and his ashram are wall to wall in Haridwar. Now, of course, he is very big and different. He knew about me and was always waiting for me to come to him and speak with him. He wanted to talk very much, but he did not know how. Well, at the last Kumbha Melā, I spoke with him, and he said, "Oh, please come to my āśram. I will show you Khecarī Mudrā." I said yes, and then again I had no time. This time, especially, I went to see him and the performance of his Khecharī Mudrā—perfect, perfect. That would be the best thing for the Prem Prakāś. You must go there, okay? Even if you die during this, no problem. He can roll his tongue back and go behind the palate. He has been doing it now for many, many years. For a long time, he had a taste of something bitter, sour, salty, and unpleasant. But now he got the nectar of the Bindu Chakra. That was, for me, evidence. He said he can stay one hour, but then it is a little hard to bring the tongue back; you have to go with a finger. Half an hour he can do without any problem, and he says, "Swāmījī, from the Bindu Chakra, the nectar I get, I am completely in the divine." After half an hour of doing the Khecarī Mudrā, he said he had to drink two or three glasses of water because his mouth was so sweet. So sweet, and he is very healthy, no illness of any kind. So that was evidence for you to show. You want to see this? Okay. I will show you. Evening. It is in Vāṁśā Devī’s video. So, that is water, tattva, jal tattva. The mantra is the one that is holding the energy, guiding the energy on the trek. If you lose the way, you are lost, finished. The Śabda Mantra, which is for each petal of the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra—each petal, when it opens, has different energies and different directions, and you have to concentrate on this mantra. This is what you have to go through. It is called the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra Purification Mantra. So you have to go round and round the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra. It is Bhaṁ, Bhaṁ, Maṁ, Yaṁ, Raṁ, Laṁ. These are the six mantras. You go clockwise from one petal to the other petal. Then say Vāṁ. Again go through this and then say it eleven times. Then you meditate further. This is for the purification and awakening of the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra. The lotus petals symbolize the six obstacles on the path of development to be removed. And which are the obstacles? Again, these lower chakras are very much connected to desire and passion. First is anger. Anger is a mighty elephant. Second is hate. Never say through your mouth, and your tongue should not taste that negative energy of that word called "I hate." Please do not stir the poison in the nectar of your immortality, the word "hate." And because you hate that, it was against you, and you would like to have that. That is called greed. And greed is that python; it will swallow you, that greed. And when you cannot manage, and it is not in your hands, then hidden powers, which are hidden, can destroy like termites destroy a tree. And that is called jealousy. Anyone of you who is jealous, please put it in a washing machine and dry it out. When jealousy is there and still you cannot manage, then you take in your hand a knife called cruelty. And that cruelty is towards humans or animals. When you kill them, it is cruelty, cruel. No mercy. So, there is a mantra, a beautiful mantra, which one of my good friends, a Christian priest, said: "Swāmījī, we also have some mantras. What mantra do you repeat?" And he said, "I repeat mantra: I pray to thee, I pray to thee for thy mercy, O Holy Mother Maria. I pray to thee for mercy, Holy Mother Maria." And when he repeats this, he feels that mother’s love, her mercy, and he feels safety. So every mantra is a good mantra. The problem is language. Fighting is because of the language. Nothing else. So, cruelty. And when you have done all this, or you cannot manage, then you try to give up; you are too lazy to do anything. So, these are the six petals of Svādhiṣṭhāna. You have to purify in a good way: anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness. And that is laziness. You are in laziness, but these five qualities are still inside. So it builds a picture of the crocodile. When you find a chance, you will quickly throw away your blanket of laziness to catch it. And that is why it is a crocodile. The crocodile is also an animal for the water. It is the chariot of Divine Mother Gaṅgā. She is riding on the crocodile. So that crocodile eats all negative qualities, and others who will dip in the Gaṅgā will be liberated. And so the animal is the crocodile, and the divine divinity is Brahmā, the creator. Brahmā and Sarasvatī are there. Sarasvatī is the wife of Brahmā as well as the daughter of Brahmā. It means, when you pray, the wisdom is your daughter. When you get wisdom, it is your daughter. And when you have the wisdom, it is your mother. And we pray all to this mother, Sarasvatī. So both aspects are there, but people will not understand. The explanation is that wisdom is born through Brahmā and maintained by Sarasvatī, the consort of Brahmā. Sarasvatī is a daughter born out of Brahman, knowledge, the Vedas, and she is a mother because she gives this wisdom to all others—the milk, the milk of wisdom. Clear? Sarasvatī is knowledge, intellect, and viveka, and the symbol is a crescent moon, a half moon, filling tides, the female cycle, all like a moon: from the crescent moon to become the full moon and then become again the dark moon. This is the cycle of life. We have our ancestors’ relations until the fifth or fourteenth generations. After fourteen generations, still we have something to purify, karma, another fourteen. So, from full moon to the dark moon to the full moon. And this karma is from both sides, from the mother’s side as well as from the father’s side. Father’s side, so we always have to keep the balance on this. So laziness is something great. Everyone is suffering from laziness. And if you press a button for their condition, all will be fresh again. The first level of human development is consciousness, the Svādhiṣṭhāna. And aspect, Hiraṇya Garbha, the golden embryo. Eko Haṁ Pahuṣyāmi: I am one and now I will multiply. The golden womb—you have to write "embryo" here. Garbha, pralabdha, destiny, karma, past and present karma, influence of the earlier action on one’s destiny. So, whatever we have done or we will do now, it can develop or change our destiny. You go to someone; someone promised, "Okay, bring your old papers, and I will do it for you." So, what happens? You are happy that everything will be done. But you brought some karma between, and you came to the office and said, "Stupid man, you are calling me all the time, 'You will do and do.' Now do it today." He says, "Now I will not do it." So very soon it was realized, but your anger gave such negative words and a negative impression. So your destiny is changed again. So, with many, many things, with karmas, we came closer and we change our destiny. Therefore, be careful. Yes, that is it. The aspect of the Brahmā influence of the earlier action on the karma, the positive aspect. Thanks to God. Icchā Śakti, willpower. It develops our willpower. Kriyā Śakti, the vigor or drive for our kriyā. And the negative aspect is again coming towards: egoism, passion, pride, envy, doubt, laziness, etc. My dear, to cross the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is like crossing a yellow river. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti.
