Our adoration to Śrī Deveśvara Mahādeva, our adoration to Bhagavān Śrī Nareṇa Mahāprabhujī, and our adoration to our Satguru Dev, Svāmī Madhavānanda Purī Jī. Welcome to all of you. Today is a specially organized day for a special subject: the Anāhata Chakra. Blue, blue, blue—like a cloudless blue sky. That is what will come. This is organized for you to see the Anāhata Chakra. Mother Earth has a red color energy and a light yellow-orange color, which we can see in the aura now as that light color. To understand the awakening of the chakras, consider when we sit in one of the most harmonious spots—maybe on the beach, on rocks, on high hills, by a beautiful flowing river, a pond, or in the desert. Everywhere is beautiful where you feel peace, harmony, and no desires. That is perfect awakening. We wish for such a situation throughout our whole life; that is very important. This joyful, peaceful, harmonious, balanced situation is like life in Brahmaloka. We have not seen Brahmaloka, and we cannot say how it will be. When you come to Brahmaloka and you do not like it, you cannot come back, because there is no road back. The navigator guides you round and round. Both heaven and hell are here on earth. When the situation at home, at work, or with someone is quarreling, with no understanding and very negative, that is called naraka. A painful life, illnesses—that is naraka. Naraka means hell. A harmonious, happy, peaceful, divine state is Svarga, heaven. Both we can see on this earth. We can manage this through our karma—by doing something, thinking it over, and then taking the step. Now we bless this newly married old couple; they are happy, and we wish them happiness. At present, they feel very high. In the German language, there is a good word for marriage: Hochzeit—a high time, the highest time in life. If you cannot maintain it, then we fail. And when we fail, it was not what was meant to be. Also, when you become a sannyāsī, you have the same situation. And when you do not marry, you have the same situation. Because the saw is cutting on both sides; saw on saw, we are in trouble. So it is said: "Chaltī Chakī, Chaltī Chakī, Chaltī... Chakī..." There was a mill for grinding flour. "Chaltī" means "for grinding." Dīyā Kabīrāroya Kabīrdās was crying. Why? Because between these two grinding stones, no grain remained complete. Chaltī cakkī dekkar diyā Kabīr roi, Do pāṭhan ke bīchmeṁ sabit bācar na koī. No one remained untouched. What we call a beautiful forest, untouched nature. So he went to his master and said, "Oh, master, this is the situation." The master said, "No, my son, no. Their son remains complete, untouched." But it is rare. Where these two stones come together, there is a mechanism to lift it up or down. In the middle, there is a rod inside. It grinds like this, and the rod holds the upper stone plate, and the mechanism moves it up or down. It comes from below through that one stone and on the top. You do not know because you never saw it. That is why you cannot cook. If you can cook, then you know everything. So for us, whatever comes, we eat. But the person who has the seeds, the grains, goes to the field, works with the plow, prepares the field, sweating. He creates sweat from his blood and puts the seeds in the ground. He waits for the rain, and when the rain comes, that person is so happy. Every day he goes to look to see if they are already growing, if they have sprouted. Yes, on the third day, you see a little green. The fourth day, ten days, one month—that person is happy, takes care of it. Finally, it is harvesting time—hard work. Then, taking the seeds out, cleaning them, still not eating. Carrying it home, then bringing it to the persons who make the wheat flour, the meal, and gets the chapati flour. Then he gives it to his dear wife, and she makes, with great love, our own harvesting. That kind of corn gives us good karma. We earn it, we make it out of our blood and sweat—meaning hard work. That gives us health. That gives us strength. That gives us good thoughts, and we are waiting for the next season. Therefore, the farmers are suppliers of food to all others. Then you know what it means. Therefore, it is said, "Anna devatā." Anna is the grains. Devatā means God. Food is God, and God is food. Therefore, do not throw food away. Do not throw bread away. It is a sin to throw away bread because in the bread, in the grains... there is a Jīvātmā, there is a soul that enters into our body, and the Pūrṇī, where you have these grains, homemade grains, grown Sādāpūrṇī. So you know, there are many farmers. They are so happy, they are very happy, hardworking. But proudly, they make their own bread and give the neighbors some of our homemade, homegrown corn. Yes, with the stone, a really stone-ground flour. And in the coal oven, we made bread. And honeybees make honey, they give with great love to the neighbors, and the neighbor gives again to others. One gives bread, another gives milk; one gives melons, another gives apples. What a human society! Humans can make such a joyful life, but without greed. So the Master said to the disciple, "Some seeds fall in the center, middle in the navel." They do not come on the stone near where it is ground, and that remains as it is—the symbol of this poem. That is called Ek Jīva or Duja Brahma. One is the Jīva, the soul, the individual soul, and second is Brahma, or Māyā and Brahma. As Surdas said in his bhajana, between everyone is ground. Very soon, our number will be there. We will become ketchup. Yes. So this upper is Brahma, down is the Māyā. Between those who come will be ground; only one hope: seek the shelter of Gurudeva. There, māyā has no more chance to squeeze us into ketchup. Therefore, O Kabīr Dās, do not worry. Let it be. You should remain strong; no one can look to you. Mahāprabhujī said in a bhajan—Mahāprabhujī said, I think he said, or Lālā Nanjī—"Death cannot come close. Because death is the nourishment of that protector." That is a beautiful bhajan, beautiful. So there is a chance. Hold on. As soon as you come to the Kuṣaṅga—it means you come from the center point, from the center, a little away—then the kuśāṅgas. Everyone pushes you back with elbows, again into the māyā-prapañca. So when the little finger is held, the grinding stone will suck you. There is not even time to say, "Oh!" Before "Oh," you are powdered. Therefore, dhire dhire—slowly, slowly. Mahāprabhujī: Adhīra caraṇam, caraṇāgara caraṇare bahi, Īśvarakara caraṇare bahi, Gaganāgara caraṇare bahi, Gaganāgara caraṇare bahi, Chant, Chant, Chotirāta andherī rāste mechikanai... Chant, chant, Chotirat, Andheri Raste Mechikanai. God bless you.

Gagana Gara Charana Revayi, Gagana Gara Charana Revayi, Shri Desaiya Guru Meradivi Senalakai, Svayī Pāsaṇyāsī, bole guru kṛpāse, pāī mānavā, thank you. So many things we have to renounce. Renunciation is not easy, but one who realizes what renunciation means can renounce. There is a beautiful story Gurujī told long ago—maybe when he was 36 years old. Today it came out, a beautiful story. So, remind me, please, when I will tell you. So, the Tattva of the color, which we have already spoken about, the Tattva of the Anāhata Chakra, is movement, energy, touch—touching the skin. But wherever somebody touches us, even a mosquito, immediately in the form of pain, fear, alarm, it is in the heart. It is called skin touch in Sanskrit. It is a touch, so the sensitivity is in the heart, everywhere, anywhere. When you get an injection, it is the heartbeat which goes higher, your stomach movement. It does not go higher, or the mouth does not go like this, or the eyes do not go like this. The maximum reaction when the painful... that injection—not the injection, but the signal—comes from the heart. Therefore, Tvak, Tvak is the fifth Jñāna Indriya. So movement, air—it is that sensation which transfers very quickly. Therefore, do not play with your heart. Be serious. Yes. When the heart is offended, the game is out. So the training for the Olympic champions: one thing is the most important part—the heart. Certainty in the heart gives a signal to the mind. One of our disciples, who is practicing this—I call it Yoga Day Life—under his training, three people won the Olympic gold medal. Do not think this is just Swamiji’s biggest joke today. Joke of today? No, no, no. You all know it is our Tyāgpurīs of Debrecen. Again? Then, the forest peasants, they are thinking, "What happened to the people?" The peasants who are in the village, living in the house, when they fly, they make like this. And when our peasants hear the forest peasants, when they fly, they go like a swan. They do not make pat-pat-pat-pat. So, Gajananjī, your duty is to find out where they are and analyze their movement. So, the story. There was, at that time, mostly kings. Always the stories of the kings. You can say minister, but ministers are temporary. So there was one farmer, and he had a beautiful garden or a field with different kinds of flowers. Then there was another man, a bhakta of the Gurudeva. Guruji’s ashram was about three to five kilometers from the village. So one bhakta told the farmer, the gardener, "Please, every day when I am going to Gurujī, prepare me one flower garland." And I will give you one rupee. At that time, for one rupee, ten persons worked the whole day, and then they got one rupee. Yes. Peniaze. Yes. You come here and lean here, okay? She is tired, and then she has to sit like this. Ahiṃsā must be on both sides. Only dentists have no ahiṃsā. You know that the girls who are working at the dentist, they have to hold it like this for 15 minutes. Their hands are like this. They could have some different techniques, or they cannot. Or at the operation theatre, you know, the nurses. When it is over, they say, "Thanks to God, it is over." Of course, they are paid. But we should not think if someone is paid or not paid. That hardness of work, that we should think. Well, anyhow, every day, morning, seven o’clock, that man—you can say the farmer or the businessman—had one rupee, and the gardener had a garland, a mālā, in his hand. Every day, it does not matter if it is raining, hot, or stormy, he wanted to go to his Gurujī, make a praṇām, and give him the mālā. Now Guru Pūrṇimā came. One day before, the businessman said to the farmer, "Please make tomorrow the most beautiful garland. Put all your talents, your artistic knowledge, everything. Make the most beautiful garland." And those flowers, he should choose them. You will get five rupees. Every day, only one rupee. So he made a beautiful garland. On that day, the king and queen also decided to go for Guru Pūrṇimā to have a darśana of Gurudeva. So their chariot was passing by that garden of that gardener. The queen said to the king, "Please ask the chariot to stop. It is such a beautiful Mālā that I would like to give this to Gurudeva." The king said, "No problem." They stopped the chariot, and the king said to the gardener, "Come, please. Give this garland for the Gurudeva. How much money should I give you?" He said, "I am sorry, I cannot give you this garland. This is someone who has ordered, and I prepared for that person. I can do a second one for you." "How much money will he give you?" "Five rupees." "I give you twenty-five." In that minute, the merchant came. "Is it my mala? Give it to me." The king said, "Twenty-five rupees I give." The merchant said, "Five hundred rupees." The king said, "Five thousand." My God, going up, auction. Went to the millions. The gardener was thinking, "Now I know why he is a king and why he is a rich businessman. While giving a mala to Gurudeva every day, they became rich." He said to the king, "Sorry, sir," and also told the merchant, "While giving a mala, such a good mala, you became a king. And you became such a rich merchant. I remained poor; it was my flowers. Please, can I offer this Mālā today to Gurudeva? Let me have a chance." The king said, "OK." The queen said, "You are the real bhakta. You are not a greedy one. Even so many millions we offered you, but you knew the value of this—giving the mala to Gurudeva." Devotion, the love. So love you cannot buy, devotion you cannot buy; that awakens in you. And love does not feel sorry to give, because while giving, it does not become less, but multiplies. The king got down from the chariot, the queen also, and the merchant came also and said, "Thank you. You are greater than us. What is your renunciation?" Being a poor person, he was offered millions, but he kicked away the millions and accepted devotion, bhakti. That was Gurujī’s story long ago. That is it. All the best.
