Śivam satyam śivam satyam śivam satyam śivam satyam... Sundaram Satyam Śivam Sundaram Satyam Śivam Satyam Śivam Sundaram Satyam Śivam Sundaram... Satyam Śivam... Sundaram satyam śivam, sundaram satyam śivam, sundaram satyam, sundaram satyam śivam, sundaram satyam śivam sundaram. Sat deep nārāyaṇ bhagavān kī brahma satya, jagat mithyā. Vedānta says, "Brahma satyaṁ, jagat mithyā." What does that mean? This life is like a dream. It is also said this world is like a dream, and a dream is not reality. Maybe it is a reality of our vāsanā, desires, but it is not a reality. What is changeable, movable, is not immortal. And what is unchangeable, unmovable, and everlasting is the truth. Everything is changing, but Brahma does not change. And that Brahma is the highest truth. Therefore, it is said, "Brahma satyaṁ, jagat mithyā." This world is unreality. Who came will go. Who went will come. What is created will be destroyed. What is grown again will fall down. That’s why it’s called charāchārī. It is all changeable, movable. So that is called satya. Satyam. Śivam. Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means ānanda. Sundaram is the beauty. There is only that beauty which is not visible. It is visible, but you can’t see. It is touchable, but you can’t touch it. You can smell it, but you can’t smell it. That is called Ākāśvara. Sky. So we see only this empty space, and that is the final beauty, and that final beauty will never change. Others will change. Look at your picture from when you were 10 years old, when you were just born, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years. Then you begin 8, 10, 9, 20 years, looking often into the mirror. And after 45 to 56, you look often in the mirror; we would like to go back, but it’s not possible. But for our own contentment, we developed a lot of technology. It’s called the beauty operation, make-up, then it doesn’t stop. You come 70, 80. Some days ago in Vienna, I looked at my picture, which was being painted. The picture is from 1980. My eyes were big. And yesterday I looked exactly, my eyes are not so big. So I said, "What has changed?" And then I was looking: there is hanging some skin down, and the other boy up above. So then I made it like this, and they said, "Yes, Maheśvarānanda, that’s all." But we don’t accept that. Such truth is bitter. But for the wise persons, like you, age is nothing. Will change. Ātmā is ever young, ever unchangeable. Jñāna is unchangeable. Evidence will never die. So evidence remains framed behind the glass. So we do have memory, we do have feelings, because that is that reality, and that will never change. So that is because it is connected to the Brahman, and the Jīvātmā is connected to the Brahman. The mind is just nothing. Intellect is also just for a while, and then it will disappear. But this Jīvātmā, this soul, we can’t say it is a very old soul. What do you mean, "the old soul"? The soul is never old. Ātmā is never old. Māre janme yeh śarīr. Born and dies, this body. Main to ajar amar ātmā sun. I am ajar amar ātmā. Unborn. Nezrodeni. Immortal. Nesmrtalni. Ātmā. Nesmrtalne ātmā. Oṁ to ajar amar ātmā, sum mare a janme se śarīr. Dying and born is the body, zomiera a roḍī sa telo satyam śivam, śiv śavarūpa and the sundaram, the beauty: satyam, śiva, sundaram, krasa. So one saint said, "If you want to look your beauty in the mirror, then there is no difference." Between a stupid monkey and you. Even the birds are angry. The bird is fighting with itself, but she doesn’t know that it is she. So Ātmā-jñāna is given for the humans because humans can realize. If we are not blinded, if we are not in ignorance, If we are not caught by this saṃsāra, this world. So there is something which we spoke about this morning, the kośas and certain parts of the bodies, what we call the sthūla śarīra. It is called sthūla śarīra. Sūkṣma śarīra. Sthūla śarīra is the physical body, and sūkṣma śarīra is the astral body. In the seat in the body, the kośas, what we call the kośas. And this we spoke this morning very clearly, five kośas. Which are? It was beautiful. Like in this school, children are repeating. Annamaya kośa, very good. Prāṇamaya kośa, Manomaya kośa, Vijñānamaya kośa and Ānandamaya kośa. The guṇas. Which we know. How many guṇas? Trinity. Which are these? And sattva. What a combination. The guṇas, characters or the qualities. Tamas guṇa, rajas guṇa, and connecting tamas and sattva guṇa, rajas and sattva guṇa, they are coming together to work together. Only with pure gold, you cannot make an ornament. You have to put other metal inside, for example, the copper. So similarly, if you said, "I am Sattva Guṇa only," Then you have no immunity; you will become ill. If you think, "I clean my body all," Very soon, you will have so many allergies. So we can’t see, and we would not like to see, what kind of germs are existing in the body. Thanks to God, after all this, he made a nice cosmetic. Means, he pulled over the skin, and now everything is okay. Only the doctor knows, or the nurse knows, when they open this part. In our case, we will have no appetite some days. So similarly, everywhere in the body, This is called vikāra. Māla, mūtra, or vikāra. Mal means stool. Mutra means urine. And vikāra means different kinds of bacteria. So these guṇas, sattva guṇa, give the intuition or ideas. Tamas and Sattva Guṇa create the positive knowledge. Rajas guṇa makes the movement and activities, etc. Therefore, pure qualities cannot be in certain things. So we need all three guṇas, otherwise God will not give this. If God will not give tamo guṇa, then we will not sleep. And when we can’t sleep, we can’t recover from all the tensions and tiredness. Automatically, this machine always switches on to sleep. All buttons are out, and we go to tamas guṇa. Sleep. It is tāmas guṇa, but the result is sattva guṇa. All the stress, all the worries, all the fear, everything is flat in sleep. At that time, we all know that our brain centers are again upgraded, updated. So do not quit your sleep. Yes, we can replace the sleep if we practice a lot of prāṇāyāms and meditation or yoga nidrā. Relax the whole body. Feel your breath. I know that I’m inhaling, and I know that I’m exhaling. Don’t sleep, but if sleep comes, let it come. If it goes, let it go. Be aware of the breath, inhale. This is within the yoga nidrā. Poor are they who are practicing beside. So, your teacher has to research who is going quickly into yoga nidrā and snoring. They are on the higher level. So we have to shift them into another room so that others can also develop. That’s it. So one day Holī Gurujī said the word in Hindi, sleeping, "sonā so jāo." "Sonā" also means gold. Gold is very expensive, and gold is very dear to us. Similarly, for the body, sleep is so important and very dear to the body. Therefore, God has given this system because every creature sleeps, not only humans. Otherwise, all will be crazy. What others said? Who is not sleeping? Yogi or Rogī? Rogī means the ill person, and yogī means the yogī. A yogi is not sleeping, always waiting. God will come. A yogi is not sleeping, always waiting. God will come. Me, just for once, come to will. My days fly without seeing thee, my Lord. My days fly without seeing. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee, night and day. Night and day, night and day, I look for thee, night and day. Yes, like the story, you know, the man and the crow. Or the person who is in the hospital has immense pain, can’t sleep, and is waiting for when the doctor will come. But the yogī said, "Nīndrā uskār jāye." Yogin povedal, "O sleep, go in that house. Nīndrā uskār jāye. Jis ghar hari bhakti nahīṁ hoī." In that house, no devotion to God. Gurujī used to say also, "This jīvā, this soul..." Slept many, many lives. Now you are human. Don’t waste your time in sleep. Therefore, sleep, sound sleep, peacefully, deep, so that you are relaxed and again you work. Not only the humans and animals are sleeping, The trees are sleeping. We have in Jadam also, in India, many trees. As soon as the sun sets, the leaves go together and sleep. Like a lotus flower also, when the sun sets, it goes and closes. And not only this, the Earth is sleeping. Therefore, do not dig into the earth at night. And in constellations, there are certain periods when Earth is sleeping. Astrology says all constellations are very good. According to your horoscope, very good. The day is good. Everything is good. Perfect, best. But Earth is sleeping. So you can’t make an earthquake ceremony. Digging the foundation. If you do it, it will be bad luck. So Jyotiṣ is not only that which is good for you or not. It has to be everything good. You can’t imagine how good my father, my brother, was in astrology. When we made the foundation for Om Ashram, I invited good paṇḍits, learned paṇḍits, and good astrologers from Jodhpur. No? Remind me? And so I asked Bikaramjī, "Our next days or something, Bikaramjī, what do you think, my brother? What do you think about all this?" He was very calm, peaceful, never angry or this. He said, "Yes, it’s good, but," I said, "What is a ’but’?" Many times it will begin and stop the work, and that I remember still. And if it is true or not, Premanand is a witness that work will start and again stop, and start and stop. And in certain cases, you have to rebuild again. These were the two words from him. That’s it. So astrology is known as the third eye of God. Trinetra, the third eye, but you should know exactly the astrology. Not only see that, oh, you are horoscope this and you were born there and it was good and this and that, where is the rest of things? Many people asked and came to him for consultation for the marriage of their children. And he would say a very true thing, where you can marry, but one of them will not live long, or different things. So, every soul, every soul has a partnership from many, many lives, and you have to wait for that. Wait. Maybe that soul is still not here, and you marry another. You may do it. But you will not be happy. There will be illness, Quarrelings, disharmonies, many, many things. And if those souls are both coming, it is automatic. It is like in the techniques, there is a certain part, a mechanical part, it is exactly, you put it and it’s in, because it belongs there. Why is the world so unhappy nowadays? Why are the families destroyed? Why are the children suffering? Because you did not choose that soul which is your partner. Don’t think that it’s our culture, and this and why not, and that and that. And it’s a mistake of the parents. Now, children, parents can’t give them any knowledge. So this child, you think, "Oh, okay, they are children," and let it be. You are thinking that in India they are marrying the young kids, and what is here? You don’t marry them; you destroy them. You destroy their future. Sixteen years old, fifteen years old. And parents say, "Yeah, it doesn’t matter, they should go together." They are not parents, they are enemies. So this is how we destroy the humanity, the human world. This is not human nature. The human culture is different. Animal culture is different, but now even animals don’t do what humans are doing. And this is because you don’t consult with the exact, proper astrologer. Now, there are many astrologers. They read something, they type in the computer, they don’t have to work. Everything is wrong. They ask for money, that’s all. Once I also went to one of the disciples, or a good friend, or bhakta, in Jaipur, exactly opposite, it’s called the Wind Palace, Hawa Mahal. And it was very modern at that time, the first computer, the horoscope through the computers. And I went with the group, we were sightseeing, and the man said, "Swamijī, please come give me the data, I want to print your horoscope." And because if I will do, then all ten or fifteen people with me, they will also do. Buy one and get fifteen, and one from the group has the same horoscope, same, came from the computer. I said, "How is it possible? I was born in India, and this person is born in Europe. I am a sannyāsī, this person is not a sannyāsī, and my brother would tell everything." My father, my brother, they predicted two things. Either he will not live long, or he will become a swami. Yes? So it is. There is always something different. Everything is okay. 100% okay. But that spot where you were born was not okay. The child was happy. The mother was happy. The child was healthy. Everything was good. But the mother gave birth. It was perfect. But immediately, the child fell, falling into the fire. And that no one could say, but it was predicted in your, what you call, destiny. So there are still some people whom I know very well. Very, very good. Both are my brothers, again. Means the cousin brothers. So this is how we can see, and why God has done this. Therefore, sleep is the best. And you know, when some person has mental problems, psychic problems, then you go to a psychiatric doctor and they give you some medicine, a tranquilizer, something that makes you sleepy. Dull, Thomas, guṇas, too much, so you have no time to think, and of course that medicine has side effects also, and it makes you dependent, so when you don’t take it, again you are there, so this medicine... What we have, this modern medicine is very good. Out of thirty, one will survive, the other will be killed, perfect. And this one who is survived has to be very careful. It’s like a football: you go in the water and hold the football and press down. Hold your football under the water, and he said, "Oh, I have itching, just for two seconds, itching," and the football is gone up from the water. So, allopathic medicine is that football, night and day you have to hold. So, medicine is good, but always you have to be alert. So, one day, one doctor said to me, "Swāmījī, it’s the same thing that you are predicting." You said this body is not immortal, so why do you blame the medicine? So, or the so, you will die. Then let me have money in my pocket before you die. Therefore, at that time they said, "The first happiness is a healthy body. Practice yoga, have healthy food, and walk every day early morning, like Dayā Rāmjī. Dayā Rāmjī is walking." Zdravo a chodívajte na prechádzky tak ako Dayāramjī. but one village is a little different site. And he wanted to have evidence to show me that he was there at 5 o’clock. How will Swāmījī believe? So he took a photo of the village, and he said, "Look, this is it." So, yoga, good food, movement, positive thinking, and go to sleep. This is the best way. So, rest we will do tomorrow, and I would like to tell all of you that our Dayā Rāmjī is coming from near, from Jardin. He has his guru-paramparā, and he has many, many followers of his paramparā. Hundreds, thousands of people, A few million come to their ashram. He is a successor of that lineage, Mahātmā Gāndhī, Pitā Deśvar. So one day we were sitting together, and I told him, "Would you like to go with me to Europe?" He said, "No, no, I don’t know English, and what will I do?" But I put this bug in his brain. Next time when we meet, he said, if you want, okay, I will come. And he made the passport, and he came. So he’s very busy, like we are. Now it’s already a fortnight here, and there are a few days left, one week. I think it’s good that he will see some different countries of Europe; one can’t always come. But he said to me today afternoon, Swamiji, I fell in love with these trees and all this here. So he said, "It can be possible that these trees will call me back." So I said, "The taste of the West is the best, but you have to be careful." So thank you, Dayārāmjī. We wish you a good journey. And there are some people whose duty is, Premanājī, Mālā, yes, yes, when you go to Sīkārpura, he will get, hey, photo, photo, like English. Yeah, hold them all again. Look to him. Good. Yes? All the pictures, yes. Okay. So, Dayārāmjī, we wish you a good journey. May God protect you and come back. Yes, she wants to say something. I will translate it. Dear Dāyāramjī, I would like to thank you on behalf of the participants of the seminar for being with us for a few days in Mahāprabhu Dīp Āśram. I would like to, in the name of all participants, thank you for coming here to our āśram and spending a few days with us. And we tried to be the best host. And we are aware that sometimes we manage to do something good and something little. But still, we know you visited one of the best places in the world. But we know that this is the best place in the world, and you have come here. One of Sivanandjī’s bhajans, it sang this, what was said: "Guru Charaṇamaya Rasatahe." That all the holy places are in the feet of the Gurudev. Not only that, you were walking around here in the forest. But you were bathing with us in the ocean of mercy. And we are feeling here as home. It’s home for us, and we hope that you will always feel welcome here. As adults, we are trying to express our feelings with words. And all the children will try to express their feelings and thanks with a picture. So once more, thank you very much, and we wish you pleasant days in Europe. We congratulate you on this auspicious journey and wish you all the best. In the name of Swāmīśrī Mahāsuramaṇḍhanjī Mahārāj, I bow my head. I bow my head in the name of Swāmīśrī Mahāsuramaṇḍhanjī Mahārāj. Today, in the Ānanda Āśram of this Stil village, with the blessings of Gurudev, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to Europe. And all of you, Yogīrāj devotees and Bhāvikās, were very happy to meet the sages. And all the experts and non-experts of Gurudev, the officials and the servants of this organization, With the feeling of their service and so much enthusiasm, they gave me. That, after staying with all of you for so many days, Whenever I met all the great Gujaratis, not once in a day, but ten times, everyone said, "Hari Arum." Jaroor bula isliye, mahāparampūjaniya Swāmī Śrī Meśvarānandjī Bābājī ke bāra bāra śaraṇau me vandan karte hue, āp sabhī bhaktōṁ ke ujwal bhaviṣya kī śubh kāmanā kartā hūṁ, aur parampūjaniya parambandaniya ādaniya hamāre Gurudev Rājeśvar. Bhagavān se praṭhnā karta hoon ki tamām bhaktoṁ ke parivār mein sukha, śānti, smṛti, aur āp sabke parivār kā oṁ śānti, śānti... Short and sweet. First of all, Dairāmjī offered his respect, salutations, and devotions to Holī Gurujī and to myself, that I gave him the opportunity to travel with me to these countries. He was happy, and so many days he spent with you all. It doesn’t matter how many times walking here and there, whenever anyone met, every time he was greeting, "Hari Om, Hari Om." This all will remain in my memory for your respect, for your hospitality, for your kindness. I am thankful for that. And wish you good health, a healthy, happy life, prosperity, and peace. With this, all the best. Thank you.
