Don't break your decisions

Life is a journey through the world's labyrinth, contrasted with the heaven of the heart. Human life is a mystery where the mental waves of decision and doubt are strong. Modern roots rot as principles are lost, seen in broken promises and relationships. Life remains merely life without enduring commitment to a solid, truthful decision. The ability to endure and remain strong is given; only those who understand life's aim and find their path do not give up. Our gathering is the result of past karma and divine law, connecting destinies. The awakened heart chakra is an ocean of immortality where impurities like doubt and ego are sharks repelled by organic purity in thought and action. Divine love awakens through self-love, recognizing the ātmā within as God. The heart's powers include will, action, and mantra, which eventually resonates through one's entire being. Human talent carries immense power for both creation and destruction. Prāṇa is the divine essence and breath of life, more vital than any tonic. God is not seen externally but is the inner self leading us; full self-realization is rare and ultimate.

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

"First, love thyself. Don’t hate thyself. Don’t think that you are unhappy. You are above this."

Praṇām Gurudev, dear brothers and sisters, and dear yoga friends. What is the labyrinth of the world that every one of us knows? But during this week, we could have, we tasted the heaven of our heart. This darśan and this insight into our Anāhata was given to us by our Gurudev. Dear Vishwagurujī, please accept these flowers as a sign that we all love you. You are in the heart of every one of us, forever. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Life is a journey, not a destination. The life of a human is a big mystery. The human brain has many waves, or vṛttis. Saṅkalpa and vikalpa, these two things in the human are too strong. Saṅkalpa means to make a decision, and vikalpa means to again break, to give up. So very rare humans are there who can decide. The decision of the human should be solid, truthful, and everlasting. In modern civilization, human roots are getting rotten, and principles are getting lost. It is very visible. You get married, and again you divorce. And again, you get married, and again, you divorce. You find a friend, and you again change it. That is not a human quality. A promise is a promise, a decision is a decision; otherwise, you can’t reach your goal. So life will always be only life, not a destination. So God gave the abilities to endure the situation and to remain strong, and face the conditions, situations. That one will come through. Others will be only life, again and again, different life. So it’s not so easy that you think or I think that we will realize God. God said, "What do you think? I gave you duty. I gave you principles. You didn’t follow. I gave you freedom. Freedom. But you don’t follow. What can I do?" Therefore, we meet different good spiritual masters. This world, Mother Earth, has not lost her heroes, her children. That proudly we can say, "Thank you, Mother Earth, that so many spiritual people and so many spiritual masters present time on this earth, and due to them, this earth is surviving still." But what about us? Where are we? How many times have you broken and joined again, and broken again and joined again? So life. To live a life, everyone is living. Animals are also living, but the human life is a challenge. Yes. Then many obstacles come. Many, many. So many obstacles will come, they will disappoint you and frighten you and give you such a condition that you have to give up. But those who have realized what the human life means and its aim, and when they find the path, then they don’t give up. You know, there is one animal, a little creature. In German, in Austria, they say "checken." Not the check, this check. So, in English, they call the tick which goes in our skin, bites. And they turn like a screw. And when you want to take them out, even if they cut their neck, they don’t leave the place. That faithful they are to our skin. Even at the cost of my life, I will not give up. So learn from the check. So the decision was made by the supreme authority, the cosmic, the God. His decision was that he sent us here as humans. He has connected the wires, the connections: who belongs to whom, who will meet whom, and so we are here. It is the highest law. You are born here. Someone is born in Romania. Someone from England, someone from Poland. And someone is from India. How did it happen that we are together here? Why just we? Because there is a past life. Some karma there. It must not be bad. Karma means good, too. So when we say karma, karma is good also. Karma we can say bhagya. The fruits of the karma are the bhagya. Bhagya means destiny. So the result of the action, the fruits of our actions, is our destiny, bad or good. So we will always come together as long as that destiny is there. After we’ll separate, so definitely that higher level decision of the higher level has tied us together. Therefore, don’t be angry with anyone. Be happy, be friendly. Enjoy. Open your heart wide and open your heart chakra. Oh God! What a beautiful chakra you gave us. Lord, we are floating in the ocean of immortality. Anahat Chakra. But God, one thing. Please, don’t let free in the ocean of immortality the sharks. Yes, sharks of doubts, sharks of guilt, ego, many, many things. So let’s go very deep somewhere else. That’s why it is said, oh, beautiful, though there are sharks. But they don’t come close to us. They have no interest. Because the sharks smell us. Nowadays, humans have junk food. So human blood and human flesh are not organic. So, better they go to have other fish, which is organic. What does it mean? Organic is pure, and inorganic is not pure. That means our actions, our thoughts, our behaviors, and there, no one will come close to us. Well, the positive aspect of the Anahata Chakra is the awakening of divine love. Because of the saṅkalpa śakti, that’s great. Jivan Jyoti, the light of life. Jivan Jyoti is the light, the flame of life. Ātmā Bhakti. Devotion to thyself. First, love thyself. Don’t hate thyself. Don’t think that you are unhappy. Don’t think that you are a sinner. You are above this. Yes? Ātmā bhakti. First, dedicate to thyself. If you love yourself, you can love God. Because love thyself, ātmā, is already God. There’s no one else here. It is an ahaṁ. Empty space. Go and search, where are you, God? I want to give you love. God, I want to give love, and different gods are sitting somewhere. And say, what happened to this person? So where is God? Our ātmā, our self, we are God, not this body. Everything goes to that Supreme through us, so you all are divine. You all are with God, not without God. Why do you or I think that it is a problem? Therefore, it is hate. So, in our ocean, there are no more sharks. This is our ocean. We are at the shelter of the spiritual masters. They are here. Don’t think it’s only pictures. If you see only pictures, then you are blind. And if you see the light, it is alive. Then you have those divine eyes. So I pray to Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, to always protect you and me and everybody. So the aspect of the quality of the Anāhat Chakra, the heart—your heart and my heart, their heart and our heart—everyone has a heart. It’s only one heart that is a heart that belongs to everyone’s heart. That’s God. So that’s it. So positive is Icchā Śakti, the power to build. Kriyā Śakti is that which always drives us. Always let go. Saṅkalpa Śakti, the power of wish, to fulfill everything. Mantra Śakti. And mantra, we have. Don’t think that your mantra has no power if you repeat once your mantra. Say once your mantra. Let’s say, O Prabhupāda, let’s say, O Prabhupāda,... You know how much energy you have produced or created in your body, in your consciousness? And how much positive energy have you sent into the space? Only repeating once, and when we repeat it a hundred times, you know how strong that energy is. So in the beginning, you were feeling. Now you don’t feel. I can understand you don’t feel. It has an explanation. When we go to swim in the lake, the first time we go in the water, we say, "Ooh," an intensive feeling of the water on the skin. After two minutes, five minutes, we don’t feel the water. We became water. Water became one with us. So now you have become mantra yourself. You are a mantra. Your whole being, your each and every atom is resonating with your mantra. Ajapa. So it is great. Mantra Śakti. Ajapa Śakti. And the seed of feeling and emotion, creative writing, artistic talents, many things, but in this we can make big mistakes. Yes, a very good artist can also produce and design a very nice gun. But that action of that gun is negative. You can be a very good artist, writing a very good article. Morning, you can let throw the stones on the president’s head through one article, or the next day, immediately, the president gets a lot of garlands. This is the brain’s vibrations putting in such a negative way is also art of writing. To change the other’s brain waves, so that the talents you have are also in the heart. So, what we should create and what we should not create? The person who made the atomic energy did not know what it would be, but after that realized, "Oh God, now what can this atom do?" If I’m... Not wrong. Someone told me that the person who invented the atom and came to know what humans would do with it now made suicide. So, my dear, the human brain and human heart have immense power, both negative and positive. And now it’s getting more and more negative waves. So, yes, talent. The positive aspect of the awakening of the divine love, we have many times said love, love... Have no more value. Negative aspects, which we have already spoken about, change emotions. Emotions have many forms. Sadness is an emotion, happiness is an emotion, negativity is an emotion, crying is an emotion, making music is an emotion, singing is an emotion. So many things make you move. It becomes an emotion when you are biking. What they call nowadays a mountain bike, and you are biking uphill. That’s also an emotion, an emotion of that greed: "I’m strong. I will do. I manage. I want to do it." So emotion is many, many kinds of emotion, positive and negative. So, the negative aspect of the emotion is changing. Giving up or developing, the prāṇa is breath. Yes, our heart needs a lot of fresh air. Prāṇa. We call God Prāṇāt. God. And that God who takes care of my heart, that is my Lord, and that is prāṇa. So God has many names, many forms. Prana is very hard to describe. There is no exact definition. We call it when someone dies, no more prāṇa or no more life. So, what is the difference between prāṇa and life? Maybe prāṇa is a god or the soul. This creature gave up prāṇa. Praṇa choddhyā, have left the prāṇa. So prāṇa is the essence of our life, the source of our life. And so, as good prāṇa, we have that comfort. We feel comfortable. We feel long life. The hundred kinds of different tonics you cannot compare with one gram of prāṇa. The liters of tonic, if we can’t compare with good prāṇa. How lucky we are that we are sitting in such a pure, clean atmosphere, the prāṇa. These trees are our life. These big trees here, whatever we see around, they are our lungs. Do we know the value of this? What can be more God? Yes, breath more. Every morning, how nice a feeling we have when we come and sit here. So, you will never see God. And when you see God, you will not believe that this is God. We say, "Please, God. Please, God. Come, God. Take me, God." Then God came. Okay, my child, come, let’s go. My God, I did not mean this. If you want to take me, I would not have called you. Child, come, let’s go. God wants to take us away. How will you describe God? How will you feel that God? And how will you recognize that He is a God? Without any doubt, have you any picture of God in that way? If you have, let me know, so I also will search for that one. So he is our ātmā within us. So God is sitting in us, and he is leading us to different objects. Ātmā. Sorry. Mahāprabhujī said, "I am my own Ātmā." Mē mērā nīj ātmahū, tattva masī nirmōi. I am that tattva, aham brahmāsmi. Mē mērā nīj ātmahū, tattva masī nirmōi, and I am that without any emotion or attachment. Karta hume vandana, I pray, meri musko hoi, my prayer should go to me. Who is that? Ātmā, so self-confidence develop in you, then you are self-realized, but that will not come. It will come some second before the Hari Om Tat Sat, before death. Because every second we produce the karma, and 100% self-realized, then we will not live anymore. But rare saints, they can then, they are not affected by that karma. Oh, prāṇa breath, the Maharloka balance. Maharloka, the planet is called Venus. My God. Oh, again, this planet has saṅkalpa-vikalpa. Forming and discarding of ideas. Changeable thoughts, etc. Next time I will open your heart, na budúce otvorím vaše srdcia, one by one petal of the heart, How? Ako? Just for once, come to me. Will thou come? Will thou come? Just for once, come to me. Will my days fly away without seeing thee, my Lord? Will my days fly without seeing thee? So, in this way, I wish you all the best. In this way, I wish you all the best, and we will open further other petals of the chakras. We are upgrading, coming more and more good things. So next time, bring a big suitcase. Thank you all, and all the best. The next webcast, I don’t know when it will be, otherwise, for Guru Pūrṇimā, there will be a webcast. Adio.
