Good evening. Today was a beautiful, warm day. People were running under the trees to find a little cool shadow. Then a nice, cool wind came, and to make it more present, people ran under umbrellas. So, we are not happy this way, nor are we happy that way. Our first day of this seminar started with the chakras. When we speak about the science of yoga, it is the science of the chakras. Everyone has a different place in this body to concentrate on, to imagine, or to focus their awareness on. Everyone has a particular chakra that is more awakened. Every chakra is good; they are carrying energy, and within that energy is a different karmic reaction. It is stored from the past, many, many lives. It presents awareness. In this presence of awareness, we don't know. May God do good so that we don't remember. If we were to know what we did in the past, either we would be happy and feel divine, or we would be so sad that we couldn't live anymore. It is said: everything is in the womb of your time. They are divided; they are active or inactive in different chakras. There are two kinds of people. One is called Chetana: awake, přebuzený, alert, pozorný, aware, bdělý. Another one is Achetana: sleeping, unconscious, ignorance, and in darkness. Both are divided, or both exist according to our karma, our past deeds. When the pot is full, it flows over. A person who is in ignorance, their pot is flowing over too. So a person who is in ignorance hides oneself, running away from oneself. That person immediately becomes angry, exploding because of anger. Anger is because of ignorance. Where there is knowledge, there is no anger. Suddenly exploding. And we know how many they are. A Chetan Puruṣa, a chetan, an awakened person, will just smile. On what? On the ignorance of the person; it is the divine Ātmā, the divine soul. But in ignorance, we are like fish in water. Similarly, though we know, how many times do we hear of God, the Ātmā, the Divine, the beautiful spiritualities, and we do our sādhanā? But anger is like popcorn on a hot fan. If you don't know, the Hungarians have developed a very good technique, and many people are very happy. The Hungarian brain is very good at inventing things. So it is already made. It is something wrapped in a kind of poly, and you hold it to the heat, and inside, all the popcorn opens. Everything—salt, a little lemon—everything is inside. Maybe that's fast food, but I like it because it is not that kind of fast food. So, what does the heat mean? Heat is an inner fire: anger. That person is still in the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra. And we have the subject of the Anāhata Chakra. Now we are talking about the Anāhata Chakra: Hṛdaya Kamala. Hṛdaya means heart, and Kamala means lotus. Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Śabad Prabhu, Dīpa Nirañjana Śabad. Īśī Mantra Se Hove Mana Mañjana, Hove Mana Mañjana. Śrī Dīpa Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjanas. Hṛdaya is the heart. Kamala is that lotus. Our heart is like a lotus. Hṛda kamala kī ākhe, the eyes open. If every day you put this ointment in the eye of the heart—that mantra... When we have a kind of infection in the eyes, then we put some ointment. Nowadays we make makeup, but not inside, only outside, very carefully. That ointment of the mantra, the medicine that opens the eye of the heart—what does that eye mean? Knowledge, love. So we have three different eyes. Two are our physical eyes; the second is the eye of the heart. And the third is the third eye of Śiva, where you become Trikāl Darśī. You close your eyes and you see far distances. That siddhi only appears if you have no darkness of anger or ignorance. But this siddhi only appears when you have no darkness, no ignorance, and no anger. An angry person cannot open the third eye. "Why not? Śiva is also angry, and he opened the third eye. Master, tell us. Why not?" Yes, my dear. First become Śiva and then ask me the question. You show your light of this little mystic to the sun; you compare this with the sun. Don't do what Śiva did. But do what he said. Don't do what the master does, but do what the master tells you. That's a beautiful story. The master did, and the disciple also wanted to do it exactly—what you call imitation. How the experience was so strong that the disciple... completely became wet. It took twelve years to calm down, to recover. And the Master again asked him, "Do you want to imitate me again?" He said, "No." "Will you do what I tell you?" "No." "Then what do you want from me?" "Liberation." Very honest. Guru kṛpā hi kevalam, mokṣamūlam guru kṛpā. So what do you want? Thy Kripa, Thy blessings, nothing else. Heart. The heart has the presence of that soul in the body, love in the body, fear in the body—everything filling in this part, the heart. This machine is something indescribable; that’s why its name is called Anāhada. It has many more definitions. But hada means the border. Anā is without limitation. Anāhada means the limitless, beyond the borders of these worldly troubles. That Anāhata will lead us to the Brahman: Hṛdaya, Anāhata Cakra. We have done many times a kind of experiment. Where is the soul? Where are you? Who said this? Our hand goes, "I said, it’s mine." Who is here, mine? Why don't you say, "On foot, Saul, mine"? "Mine." Only when we make a mistake: "Ah, stupid." All the stupidness here. But pure love: Ātmā. When the child is born and the child is brought again, given to the mother, what does she do? On her heart, it is here that there is love. And where there is love, there is no anger, no hate, no jealousy, no any negative feelings. Unfortunately, the Anāhat Chakra has a connection to the Svādhiṣṭhāna. A dispirited person, a jealous person, a disappointed person, an angry person, creates in the heart a knife coming from Svādhiṣṭhāna and manifesting in the heart; it opens the eye of ignorance. One said, "I don’t care. Even I will die. I will sow." That is ignorance. My dear, don’t play with your heart. Don’t play with the heart. Try to take care of your heart, the most sensitive organ in the body. And the heart is our most loyal organ: obedience, faithful. It doesn’t matter what you do. You may forget your heart, but the heart doesn’t forget you. All the time, the heart is pumping so that you feel comfortable and you are alive. Like a mother, all the time aware of her baby in the womb—maybe the animals or humans. Mother is mother. Not animal mother, not human mother, but mother. Our heart is always, always pumping, and we don’t take care of our heart. Did you ever say to your heart, "I love you, my heart. You must be tired today, you rest"? Don’t say. And even if you say, "He will not follow you because he loves you." He takes care of our life; it’s our duty to take care of our heart—heart protection. You know, we have a remedy now for heart protection. It is a miracle. Prāṇāyāma is a miracle. Certain āsanas are a miracle. And a particular or good diet. The heart needs our support, and He supports us. The Anāhat Chakra is the temple of our spirit. Anāhata Chakra is a meeting with God. This morning there will be a meditation coming morning about Anāhata. The Anāhata Chakra is described in many bhajans and in many books. When our heart is opened, then we are in divinity. And when the heart is closed, it has a cramped psychic mental. Therefore, Anāhat Chakra, we have to learn about that. Anāhat Nāda. Nāda means sound, resonance. Anāhat Nāda is awake in the heart chakra: the call of the soul to God, constantly calling, "When will I be one with Thee, O my Lord?" Disappointment, suffering, and many bitterness are in the worldly life, but finally, with God. Who became aware of the heart? Who became aware of who is in the heart? Then where is the distance? A beautiful bhajan of Mīrābāī. Beautiful. Finally, she said, "Only one can treat my disease." O Krishna, if you come as a doctor, no one knows my pain. With this pain, I am wandering from forest to forest, door to door, sword to sword. No doctor I met, no Āyurveda. Allopathic medicine was still not so advanced at that time; more with Āyurveda. Viraha, kī mārī viraha. You know what is viraha? Longing, vairāgya, viraha agni. That love is like a fire: vairāgni, jāṭhāragni, haunāgni. Many, many different kinds of fire. Jāṭhāragni is hunger. Vairāgni is vairāgya, the love for God. Chitāgni is the crematorium where you burn the body. Havanāgni is where we do the yajña, where we do yagyu. So there are many: krodhāgni, the fire of anger or God. So the agni have many, many forms. So, which kind of agni? Vīrah kī mārī, ban ban ḍolū. I am burning in the fire of the viraha, running here and there. It’s our connection, our relation: child to father and child to mother, parents; husband to wife and wife to husband; friends to friends; to the animals, to the forest. It is that love in the heart. And every creature has this. That’s a quality, not a quantity. Can you imagine a very tiny creature, smaller than the ant? The Australian called sand fly. You don’t see it with your eyes, but when they bite, then we know that it must also have a heart. How big must that heart be? So don’t think that someone has a big heart; every animal has a bigger heart. Elephants are big. So it means the elephant will have bigger love than we? Go, friend of him. So that is a quality: the touch of God, the light of God. If you would not feel this love in the creature’s heart, if you do not feel this love in the heart of all beings, all this will be destroyed. Anāhata is perfect. Hṛdaya is in the heart. O Mahāprabhujī, listen please to my heart. Kar kirpā moje satsaṅg bhī jo. Please, merciful Mahāprabhujī, be so merciful and give me satsaṅg. So, tomorrow we will continue the Nāḍī Cakra. This was only a glimpse of the Anāhata Chakra. There are many miracles in it. That I need not tell, because you have the heart, so you must know. So it is said, yes, that’s the truth. I wish you all the best. And see you tomorrow. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti.
