Today’s session concerns the essence of life’s energy, the vital force that nourishes and strengthens us. It is through this prāṇa that we grow and flourish, and by controlling it, we attain liberation. This practice is essential for spiritual progress and awakening. Let us now begin the second part of the session, focusing on strengthening this vital energy through deep meditation. Puṣpā masmarpī ādārā viddhāni kuppāni masmarpī ādārā viddhāni kuppāni... masmarpī ādārā vid... Paramātmā Gurudev kī śrī caraṇ kamalon mein kauṭī kauṭī sāstāṅg ḍaṇḍavarta manch par virājmān sabhī... Today is a very auspicious day because another newly created facility is beginning to be utilized. The thought was that a minister was invited—to your place or ours—and he said he would come. Unfortunately, he could not make it on time, which is a matter of regret. The villagers and people around have lovingly and enthusiastically given their time for him. I, too, canceled and stopped my foreign trip. If our respected minister had come even for ten minutes early in the morning, the village would have gotten a little energized; that is what happens. The tradition of the Rāgu pul rīda has always continued; when the prāṇa departs, the word remains. Who should come to their station here? Therefore, to all the leaders of our India, tell them this: for you, we go to Burma, but if you give us your word, this... He has come, and this news will reach them—that a minister wanted to uplift the people of this village and the surrounding area but was unable to do so. This is a matter of regret. If any of you become a minister, do not act in this way. Our beloved V.P. Chaudhary jī had called me on the telephone just two days ago. He even asked what should be done, saying that Swāmījī will definitely come. They also had a meeting, so at night, sitting with friends, they wanted to come just for a few minutes, but they gave half an hour. They came from Jodhpur—from Delhi to Jodhpur, and then from Jodhpur here. Pushpendra Sī is very good, it is not like that. But if the hope we have turns into disappointment, you also say here, "Oh, someone there is talking nonsense, just look ahead," and then you get more entangled in that nonsense. Ajmer is not far away. This is a place called Mahroli in the Shikhar district, and from there you can reach the destination. It performs very miraculous work for the people of our Bhāratīya culture, for the Sanātana Dharma. Our Prime Minister has spoken very well about it. Khemārāb Jī, I was talking about water, the five of Dhāriya, its... Nerī Nipal Bidār ke, just this much only, because I got into syālish, and in syālish I know that ba... This does not serve us ahead, nor does it serve our presentation. It will work, it will happen—this is your physical aspect, it will happen 100%. When you go, some brother will tell them in a bitter tone, repeatedly it will become kevalī. So this is today’s Bhāratī; we follow the Sanātana Dharma, our dharma. There is compassion within, great compassion; we have karuṇā, dayā, satyatā, and ahiṃsā. Our culture, our culture is the best among all the cultures of the world; it is the base. But what is happening in the world now is not a good sign, and we are the ones causing it by not arriving on time. Those people created this culture of not arriving on time. When foreigners or the English had a friend and needed to go somewhere, they would tell the friend, "Sit, you take your time, shave, and prepare." Then the friend would say, "You have to go, right? There is a morning frame." So what would they say? "Oh, it’s English time." Come on, brother, come on, brother, let’s have some tea first, yes brother, we do that. After that we used to take an hour or two, but now we don’t. Dreams of others are not sweet, we wait, we wait, so never say, “Indian time.” Indian time means the train has arrived late, stuck in traffic—that we accept, yes. So, one, what do we call it, a state arises, what do we call it, we get stuck, conditions arise, but it’s okay. Whatever happened, because I also came with hope that today this would happen. The day this hope... Religious towns or all kinds of people live together well; there is a little bit of friction, but as long as there is friction... If it does not happen, if awakening does not occur, then I have great concerns that through this tank, all the people of our village as well as the animals will receive water and remain healthy. Our previous devotee had said that using water would be misuse. Why at this time? There is a great scarcity of water; I greatly emphasize this. Dharma, in our India, is paramount; we are very happy about that. But what are we doing for our ātman? Our ātman, this jīva, is immersed in bliss, floating on waves of bliss, moving through darkness and light, through happiness and sorrow. And when a person receives the opportunity, the actions are in their hands; they can act accordingly. But the result of those actions is in the hands of destiny. If the actions are in our hands, we can do them anytime until we die. But once the opportunity slips away, then we cannot grasp that moment again. If it has gone, it has gone. It means that according to our actions, our destiny will be shaped—whether good or bad. This is why the human body has been given: to worship Bhagavān, to unite the ātman with the Paramātmā, and to live in harmony. All beings are my ātman, and the ātman itself is the Paramātmā. This āśrama in Nepal belongs to the people of Nepal, to all the noble ones around us. This āśrama is not anyone else’s; it belongs to all of us. Whenever any work needs to be done here, this āśrama is yours. There is no need to ask for permission. You have come with great joy, without any hesitation, because there are still two and a half more to go. What could Sume have done? Sume felt it; I fed the children on the very first day. Even those children are becoming restless. There are many kinds of cultures in the world. In our country, there is freedom of expression. We can say anything within our country, and we are happy. Do not think that... Hindustān is rich; do not think that Hindustān is poor. Those who call Hindustān poor have something between their two ears. No country or state of Hindustān has ever been invaded.
