Atma is the same in every being

Faith is the essential foundation for all spiritual progress and worldly action. Time is precious and must be used with decisive purpose. The divine light of the one Paramātmā resides within every being; seen as the ātman, all are one. Souls incarnate to experience the fruits of their karma, which is inevitable and bound by time. Action is in your hands, but its fruit is divinely ordained. One must act with discernment and wisdom to avoid error. Devotion atones for past sins, for there is only one Master, though called by many names. True dharma is eternal and universal. When all thoughts become one, universal peace can be established. The human duty is to protect, not destroy, all living beings. Realization comes from asking "Who am I?" and knowing "I am the ātman." Great beings manifest to guide this understanding. Proceed with thoughtful discernment to manifest excellence, preserving culture through right sanskāras.

"All beings are my ātman, and the ātman itself is Paramātmā. When seen in the form of ātman, we are all one."

"The action is in their hands, the deed is in your hands, but the fruit of the deed is in our hands."

Today, we villagers are truly fortunate to be blessed by the grace of such great beings. Time is precious. You have given form to time and shown a vision for the village, leaving no room for doubt. We must move forward without hesitation. This is a matter of great joy. Victory to the Kī Jā Ho! I am your devoted servant, Sarpan Saib. I offer you a little time now. Faith is essential for villagers; without faith, nothing can be accomplished. This assurance is not for the villagers alone but extends to the very trust of the water. The ritual of the spoon is also known, and that too is based on faith. I bow to their hands and feet. This was my teaching today as well. Your dedication is our destiny, our expression, our fortune—that saints like you have graced the steps of this institution. We are very proud. With you, there will be progress; with you, we will receive teachings. At your lotus feet, there is true, heartfelt reverence. Please grace us by staying a little longer. My humble request to Varampojī Gurudev is that you do something to uplift the ignorance and the old customs in which we have been entangled for centuries. When everyone in the world grows weary, people turn to Gurudev’s presence. There, we receive guidance on the path. When there is no support anywhere else, there is the support of Gurudev. Please purify our villagers, our children, our women, and all the influences within us. For good education, good discipline, and good organization, please grant us your cooperation, grace, and blessings. Sat-satvandanā. The lamp of light is the Brahma dīpa; all enchantment is adorned by its flame. All perception is the lamp; all that is possible is auspicious, bringing welfare and enjoyment. It destroys the enemy of the feet and is the arrow for the destruction of suffering. Salutations to that, the revered Gurudev. The root of the Vedas is the Guru; the root of worship is the Guru’s feet; the root of the mantra is the Guru’s word; the root of the Vedas is the Guru’s compassion. Om śānti, śānti, śāntiḥ bhavatu. The siddhi mantras of Bhagavān are like the divine lamps of the revered Devīśvara Mahādi Gurujan... Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī was teaching this dāo here, his caraṇ racā, and right here in Agvel Āvare, where our soul singers, anem, satrmente, and tilī’s āvare are, there Bāb Jī used to reside. Gurujī also used to come, and this... Prajān prajñā prajñā... There is only one Paramātmā, one Īśvara, whose light resides within every being. All beings are my ātman, and the ātman itself is Paramātmā. When seen in the form of ātman, we are all one. But when seen in the form of jīva, we remain separate. If that thread breaks, then the pearls will scatter. So these impulses are the limbs of the body, and impulses are also going from here. If you remain like this, then all your actions will definitely fulfill your desires. Souls have come to experience the fruits of their karma. Karma spares no one, and time is limited; it waits for no one. The time is coming, therefore beings no longer have the right to perform karma, nor the karma they have performed. The action is in their hands, the deed is in your hands, but the fruit of the deed is in our hands. Just as you have a letter in your hand, you can either throw it away or keep it. But once that letter is thrown, you cannot catch it again. Similarly, Bhagavān told humans that He has given you every kind of... Whatever you decide to do, do so with discernment. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says to Arjuna that before acting, one should understand the true nature of the cause. If you act with wisdom, you will not do anything wrong. But if you still proceed without discernment, then the burden of sin will not fall upon you. Therefore, on one hand, a person should engage in devotion to Bhagavān to atone for the sins accumulated from past lives. The Lord whom one worships—there is only one Master, only one Bhagavān, though His names are many. There are two types: one is the religion created by humans, and the other is... Bathing, dharma, īśvara—what has been established as the dharma of humans—just as Bhagavān is filled with knowledge, He is formless; it is said in the Purāṇas about Muhammad Sahab as well, and I do not deny that, but his message is from the Mālik, from Īśvara. Īśvara is that very dharma, that very eternal dharma. Similarly, everyone has their own dharma... Whether we call Paramātmā the Nourisher, or the Viśvar, or the Master, if all our thoughts become one, then not only in our India but throughout the entire world, universal peace can be established. You do not know what this atheism that is happening today is doing. In Guṇār, it is said that if you have killed one human being, you have cut off all humanity, but they have forgotten this. This is the very sorrow—that so many people are entangled, pulling each other, one person pulling another’s mother. There is such a person, isn’t there? A person indeed. It will reach. Just like a needle reaches its mark. You may strike me in the stomach, but I remain silent like Ramjās. This is how it is; everything will eventually be revealed. The soul’s true nature is to realize, "Who am I? I am the ātman." After leaving behind the body along with all actions, one attains completeness. If of that infinite, if of the infinite, if of that sky, if of the inner space and light, having existed as time, having become intelligence, if any jīva alone performs good deeds devoted to the Ātmā Bhagavān, then one attains a human body again. When one attains a human body, then first of all... It is said that humans are protectors, not destructors. We are guardians, not devourers. We should protect every living being. Everyone experiences pain, everyone feels hunger, and everyone has causes for these, but they lack the knowledge. The intellect of living beings, birds, and humans is such. It is that a person realizes that they are gaining wisdom, that wisdom has been bestowed upon them. Whether it is any creature—a cow, a buffalo, a donkey, a dog, a cat, or a bird—there is a great effort to calm that wisdom. For all of these, Bhujudev is said to be the one who grants wisdom, the one who can transform even a donkey into an elephant. So, Paramātmā is indeed one, but He is realized through us. Therefore, believe in Bhagavān, in whichever Guṇa you believe, in whomever you consider the inner Ātman. Even a single person can connect with Paramātmā through that. Bhagavān, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa, Mahāprabhujī, their grace, their teachings, their darśana—many great Mahāpuruṣas have been among us, are present even now, and will continue to be. Because in a diamond mine, diamonds are found; in a marble mine, marble is found; in a coal mine, coal is found... Who else but India calls itself Bhārat Mātā? I am not saying that America calls itself America Mātā, or Pakistan calls itself Pakistan Mātā, or Nepal calls itself Nepal Mātā. This is the truth, and that very country is also called Gaṅgā Mātā. They are the inhabitants of the country where the Ganga flows, and our culture is one that calls the cow Gavamātā because Gavamātā is so called since during the churning of the ocean in the Satya Yuga, fourteen ratnas were obtained, and among those fourteen ratnas was this cow. Kamadhenu is that which fulfills all desires. So within Hindustān, all kinds of excellence can manifest if we proceed with thoughtful discernment, acting as Hindus. The ātman is like one sun, one in our Brahmin community. Just as the sun is unique, so too in this Brahmin community. That is why Gurudev said, 14 people, 21 Brahmins, 14 people, 21 B, 2100 Brahmins, 2100 suns—like suns, there they are. Up to the point of experiencing, a yogī, a siddha yogī, a ātmasākṣāt yogī, like our own Mādhavāyajī and Badvād Dīpanān Mahāprabhujī, who said, 14 people, 21 brāhmaṇs, with all their faculties, today the time has come, so it is ongoing; yes, yes, continue until evening, but at least once, please record it for writing down. But what happened was that although I was not asked to bathe, the discourse was very long. However, this will be completed soon. Dear ones, you have come here to see your own Ambuliya, and for this, I am very grateful. And our little girl from here, she... Blessings, also show this to Bhagavān, to expand the guru school here, or if you have so many students to grow, then expand it—there will be schools up to the tenth grade, up to the twelfth grade. You know how many teachers are needed up to the twelfth grade and how many preachers there are, how much money you will need for this. The master is the one to whom the government is to be given, and most of all, the master is for enjoyment. Enjoy, celebrate a lot... So, who is less educated for that? Whose number is it? Who is educated, who is not? So look, right now in our group, I am teaching two classes where there are so many children, and now see, there is a class in the first and eighth grades as well. So even there, who should be promoted, who should be advanced? Here, whether it is prāṇa or kuṇḍalinī, come up to the bāri when it rises. When the prāṇa increases, our demand is that, brother, it is said somewhere that if given, it is taken; whether it is bār or bārthan, it is small. When the people fill the bīcchā and the gurumaraṇ is filled, therefore, it is easier to connect with the government. Now I see that you are also teaching some private lessons, and what are you teaching the children? If you have not done English, then... If we do not learn English, then how will we serve the country? How will we protect the country? How will we preserve the culture? Culture is conveyed through sanskāras, so you must have sanskāras. Today, you have kept your father warm, father... What is it, there is one Paramātmā, then there is ātman. So I said, all the suffering and all the sins—what are they? The feature of the Lord’s feature is that He goes among the people and liberates them. So the reason for sins is ignorance, which was not spoken of before. That is also the cause. Oh, why not remove the ignorance of sins? Those who are seated here and will honor the Islam religion, this is not an act of penance, this is not the fan of Māmi, it is the fan of Guvarī, the fan that is cherished in Guva, the bāung here, some are connected to the bāung. Therefore, half of my effort today will be successful; those who say that the Udvādī is mine, where is the Udvādī’s slogan? Every individual has something to achieve, something to attain. Some may say it is the beginning, others may say it is the end, but... In the beginning, the right belonged to all of us; initially, Banwa gave it to everyone. Then the government took it without permission, yet the government gave it. If the government wishes, it can even hand over the land to Nivedi, so it showed the land. Therefore, those who are our friends, they do not look at these issues, ah, ah, so... If there is no pipe, yes, then he himself brought the pipe, so the head will definitely ache, it will definitely ache. If I have the pipe in front of me, then I have the pipe today itself, I got it today itself. Such is the matter of Sanātana Dharma. Let me tell you all something—if you speak on just two pure thoughts, then you will see, you do have the strength for it. I am sharing this well-known parṇiṣan with you all: whenever sādhu saints or masjids or temples install electricity, it is not for commercial purposes. Even if they do install it, it is not for commercial reasons. In commercial terms, if traders want to do business, then you should follow the government regulations. And then, do not give too much leadership to the Muslims... So do not bother us, just do not trouble us in any business. Yesterday, when you all came, everyone was served food, vegetables were given, everyone who came was offered tea and food. If you want, if you want... I am not saying this to all of you, not everyone carries wounds, this has not come even to the gaushālā, even the gaushālā has become a part, if the gaushālā has not become a part, then the government is not the same everywhere and everywhere... Teach the children of Iskūr, you teach, teach in your own village and your Iskūr, give them sanskāras, impart sanskāras, there is no one above sanskāra. When I did not teach a single village, I realized that the teacher did not teach; the teacher came, and I kept going step by step... Goal. If we begin with this claim that our parents are the ones who are our gurus and teachers, and if they have not taught the children this, then surely it must be so. You might say, "Not all of you, I myself forgot," so the children become like broomsticks, breaking and falling apart. Now, come on, don’t waste this moment, do it now, as much as you can.
