The Anāhata Chakra is the center of the body. It conducts all our functions within this body: intellect, consciousness, awareness, mind, emotion, happiness, unhappiness, liking, and disliking. All that we can imagine in our life is connected, and signals are sent around the whole universe. This is the Anāhata Chakra. It is the center that connects thought, consciousness, intellect, emotions, happiness, and unhappiness. The paths are created all over the universe, and they connect to the Anāhata Chakra. It’s still up to us, whether we like it or not. Every atom of the body is very important. All have their functions, but they are connected to some center, and that center is where the Self is residing. That’s why it’s called the Anāhata—endless. When the soul is descending, it is guided or accompanied—not guided, accompanied—by all its co-workers. When the co-worker queen honeybee flies, she doesn’t tell everyone, "Let’s go." But automatically, all will fly. This is true especially for all elements, the tattvas. Every part of our body, the human body, is designed, modeled, prepared, and then assembled. The question always comes: is the soul in the brain or in the heart? In modern medicine, when a brain hemorrhage takes place, the patient is in intensive care. The doctor says the brain died. Very little of it is still functioning. They keep the person on machines because the heart is still pumping; the heart is living. If it is a heart attack, the heart dies. The brain also dies immediately. So this is one evidence among many others that the Jīvātmā is in the heart. The heart is very important. When the heart is fixed or placed in the body, then that light comes. That light means the light of life: Jīvan Jyoti. Jīvan means life. Jyoti means a flame, that flame of life. The other very important chakra is called Maṇipūra, which we spoke about for the last two weeks continuously. So in yogic practice, a yogī will respect and keep in their view every function of the body. Nothing is neglected. But the main points are Maṇipūra, Anāhata, and Sahasrāra. These are the junctions, these are the steps, these are the headquarters. The main quarter is the heart. If love is gone, out of the heart it is gone. Often, I tell one poem which you know, so I need not tell it. So you know, and according to that poem, we understand. When a bell (bale), which we ring, made out of brass, has a crack, then it has no resonance. It’s a very fine crack. Even our hair will have difficulty going inside. So that crack is misunderstanding. As long as you have a complete, beautiful resonance, it is whole. So when you get married, you must know if both clocks are healthy. And therefore, at the time of a wedding, a marriage, they give them a brass plate or a brass bowl or a brass bell, that you should take care. And when one dies, they put a brass bowl on the Anāhata chakra and carry it to the funeral or to the crematorium. They leave it there, don’t take it home. There are certain people who have a right to take it. It is said that when milk is spoiled, you can’t make any more butter from it. It’s changed. You may make the paneer. Make a nice paneer for the halushki. It’s changed, chemically changed. If a drop of lemon spoils the milk, no more butter, no more ghee. And such a word, one word or one action, can destroy your married life. You can excuse a thousand times. But you will not win that butter, that love. Okay, you will compromise and say, "Okay, all right," but it’s not that one. When we blow out the flame, we cannot search for where it is. The flame is gone, then that love you can’t find anywhere. It’s disappeared, gone. Yes, we can put on a new one again. But that one is gone. Many lives we will search. Therefore, that flame is that love. That love is light. That is the light of God which keeps us together. When you marry, it is not a material love; it is a matter of the confidence. Matter of the oneness, matter of the understanding. So that light of confidence is gone. Similarly, in the heart, the mind, what we call mind, has a very deep relation, function, position in the heart, the mind. Man phaṭā, kahā gaī pṛthvī. Like milk is spoiled, similarly, that mind is also broken, gone. Therefore, you should keep the heart healthy. With love, like the love of a mother. It doesn’t matter what happens. Her love is always for all her children. Mother is ready to offer her life, but not the life of the child. Children may fight, may try to separate. They will complain about many things to the mother. Yes, mother will be angry, mother will be sad, mother will be disappointed. But one thing she will not break, that is love. This love is given by God to the mother in the heart. That love is called eternal love. It’s not a selfish love. And that love, in this bhajan, is said, give it to Gurudev. More than parents, God loves you. And more than God, the Gurudev loves you. If you understand, because the love, thy life, thy soul, that Jīvanjyoti that we are trying to bring to Brahmaloka, not this body. So Kāśī phūṭī, jana kaha gayā? Dūdh phāṭā, kaha gayā? Ghṛta dīpak bujh gayā, loka calī gayā, mana phāṭā, kaha gayā? Prīti... This is the poem. So this jīva, this jīva, we are individual physically also, but who is inside? Who wants to enjoy, who wants to be happy, who wants to be comfortable? It is the jīva. So wherever we go, there are different expectations. Many birds are flying, trying to sit on a tree, on some branch. But there are some other birds sitting, which are observing, "Now tonight it will be my dinner." On the tree trunk, somewhere, there is the nest of the owl. No bird sits there. So there are many owls now in Kali Yuga. It is not a good situation. From some country, someone told a story. Not a story, but the real things. Friday night is a night of the Asuras. Drugs, alcohol, throwing bottles anywhere, many things. So every Friday you should come here in Stryvky and have a nice satsaṅg weekend. Abhaṁ Guru Śaraṇsukh Pāyā, so that Jīva said, "Now I got the happiness, the Sukha, because the shelter, at the shelter of Gurudeva." Jīva says, "Now I found my happiness, Sukha, the shelter of Gurudeva." Immense joy, happiness, and oneness. Like what? Sagar, lehra, samaya. Sagar is the ocean. Lehra is the wave. Now this wave again merges into the oneness, into the ocean. So, here is that which becomes individually in the ocean, the wave. We don’t say ocean, the waves. It came from the ocean, became like a separate entity, and again, merged into the ocean. Sometimes it hits on the rock. And it flows somewhere else, but finally it comes back into the ocean. That ocean is a mother. That ocean is a Gurudev. Sāgara lera samaya abhāma gurū śaraṇa sukhapāya jñāna gata le satgurū āyā amṛta jala barṣāyā. Jñāna means knowledge, and gata, it is a very heavy cloud from one side of the horizon to the other side of the horizon, like day before yesterday, Gyān gata le satguru āyā amṛta jala barṣāyā, and he let rain nectar, let rain the nectar. So gyān gata means we couldn’t see anything there, all was... That is the knowledge, only knowledge and knowledge and knowledge. No ignorance. From that cloud, what rains means from that knowledge, because knowledge is endless. Whatever drops fall down from that cloud. It is a nectar for the vegetation, but that knowledge which comes is a nectar for thirsty souls who have a thirst for the Brahmajñāna. Amrit nir piya man bharki. Amrit, again the nectar, nir means very pure, clean water. Drink. Manbhar, my mind was content, my thirst quenched. We are very thirsty, and then we get nice, clean water. We drink one glass, two glasses, three glasses, and now I am okay, I don’t want. Now I became fearless. Fear is the fear where there is fear, there is suffering. Fear is the cause of the ignorance. Where there is ignorance, there is fear. When this fear is gone, nirbhaya, nechal, without any movement, without any fear. Nechalathaya, I am now in that ocean of the nectar. The words Gurujī have put together, I can tell you with the measurements. Everything carefully measured is a beautiful word. So Gurujī said, "Parāśāhe Gurudevahamāra." My Gurudev is this Pāraś stone. Pāraśāhe Gurudevahamāra. Loha kanchan karaya, he made the iron as gold. Soham śabd diya sarvānme, he gave me the mantra soham. Dalmi mantru soham in my ear, do moi houha soham śabd diya sarvānme. Kouwa hans banaya, he made crow a swan. Urobil zvrani labuť, who could make iron into gold and who can make a crow into a swan. That is not in our hands. At least I can’t. Maybe you do it, so it is still that there are many crows. Bring some here, and make one swan. Then we will say, "Yes, you are the Satguru Deva." The crow is the darkness of ignorance. Where there is a lot of jealousy, a lot of anger, a lot of doubt, greed. So these are the pious words. These are poetic words. Kovahans banaya. Anant janam chaurasi bhoga, mar yama ke khaya. Many, many lives I was suffering in this world, born and died, born and died. What worldly problems we have. Anant janam chaurasi bhoga. Bhoga means, here you can say, facing. Facing the troubles. Many, many lives I have suffered. Mār jamov kichaja, at the end, was bitten and slaughtered by the yamas. Why? Prečo? Ask them. Karma, thoughts, actions, many things. Gurudev, Yama’s danda chūḍāyā, lekha pūrā karāyā. But luckily, Gurudev came and he freed me from the Yamas. Lekha pura karaya, Gurudev. Let all these karmas be finished. We had a debt of karma. We couldn’t pay it back. But Gurudev paid everything back. Through what? While giving that mantra, so your mantra is your treasure, your richness. We pay back all karmas through the practice of our mantra. Aage janam anekī gamaya, O God. In the past, I lost so many lives because I did not know. I could have gone directly to the Gurudeva, but we went to some other place. When nowadays you go somewhere in the night, here and there, can you see the young people’s condition now? Everywhere in the world, they go to some restaurant, some pub, or some clubs, and drugs, and alcohol, and they get beaten. And they are screaming and destroying it. They are coming home in such a terrible situation. That’s like their parents, but if they go to meditate and practice yoga and satsaṅg, dead parents say, "Where have you been? You are so crazy. You don’t want to go there." Someone asked, "Look, do you think that your child should go there, to this club and that club, and all the boys are beating and doing what they want with your daughter? You like that?" And if they go to the meditation or the yoga, that’s very nice, peaceful. What have you against it? The parents’ answer was this: that we accept where it is bitten, drugged, tortured, and misused. That’s okay, it’s a life, but not there, yoga. So, there’s another bhajan of Gurujī that I will translate next time. I did not understand what is the meaning of life. When I came to know the reality. Khed means sorrow, and bhed means that you came to know exactly what it is. So khed is unhappiness, and bhed is knowledge. Paya bhed, khed sammitgei. So I came to know, I realized Ātmā Jñāna. Ur is the heart. Within my heart, the sun rises. We see every day sunrise and sunset. But one day the Ātmā Jñāna sun will rise. Ātmā, poznanie, výjde. There we are awakened. Śrī Pūjī Bhagavān Dīp Dayālu Behad Haṁs Patāyā, the merciful Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī Behad Haṁs Patāyā, countless swans he liberated, Kahi mādhvānanda Holi Guruji hovorí ānanda, he now is bliss, divine bliss. Teraz je to very happy. Janem maran naihāya, now I will not come, born and will not die. So, this bhajan indicates to the Anāhata Chakra. Evening continues. I wish you a very nice day. Good appetite. Many of you are hungry. And you will say, "Swamiji is endlessly talking." So, all the best. Enjoy. Take the prāṇa food. The junk food we get always in the cities. This air, this forest, these vegetations, this atmosphere, this harmony—this is the best nourishment. And wherever you meet, somewhere under any tree or anywhere, you see this smile. She tells you, "Hari Om, how are you?" Yes, so enjoy. You know what? Enjoy. Be in that joy. Enjoy. Hari Om. Deep Nain Bhagavān. Devī Svarmahādeva. Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān. Sanātana Dharma kī.
