Śrī, Bhāī,... Ālak Purījīho Siddha Pīṭa Paramparā. Welcome, all of you. We are here in this beautiful holy place. It is the atmosphere of Christmas, and we know what Christmas means for all of us—not only for us, but for the whole world. I mean, not only for humans, but for all creatures. Whenever a divine, holy soul descends on this earth, it comes with immense light and blessing, which is a healing power on the earth, what we call peace on the earth. Time to time, there are incarnations of great holy saints, and we are all surviving only because of them. It must not be that they are with us physically; it must not be that they are physically here. But their energy, their words, their being here, is still vivid. Whenever we think of that, it brings peace to ourselves. For the bhaktas, spiritual seekers, the believers, when they hear the name of the great saint, or they remember the name of the great saint in their heart, they are developing or feeling the peace. Immediately, the heartbeat is different. The blood pressure becomes normal. Because of that, happiness, peace, and security mean protection. Hard times come, or one gets scared, and we remember the name of a holy saint or God. We deeply inhale and exhale automatically. It means new prāṇa comes, and within ourselves, the jīvātmā finds peace because that is the reality. And that is the light of the great saints or God. There is no duality. Holy saints are holy saints. But there should be the holy saints. There are many differences. Great holy saints. Many are self-made, so those who are self-made, they have to come again and again many times. Then they can enter into the level of the holy saints. It is a work of many lives. So they have no desires to have something, but they give something. Now, in this Kali Yuga, there is a different atmosphere. But spirituality, the holiness, doesn’t change. Maybe minimizing. When the dark night is there, then we see many stars. But still, the darkness doesn’t disappear. But for some time, the full moon comes, and a little light comes in the darkness. But when the great sun rises, the small stars disappear. The moon also does not have that light. So that is the great sense of the incarnation. And so, if we can think of Jesus, and for us, we can think of Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Gurujī. And now you know in your awareness that we, our origin, our roots, we found it. And that’s called Ālakpurījī. Alagpurījī was at the time of the first one mantra, many yugas. There are four yugas: Satyuga, Dvāparayuga, Tretā Yuga, and Kali Yuga. Again comes the Satyuga. So many Satya-yugas have been repeated, and from there is the immortality of Śrī Alagpurījī, which are among the great, great saints in the Himalayas, and so is Alagpurījī too. We have much evidence in many holy books; it’s called the authentic literature. In that is coming the name of Alak Purījī. Jesus, Krishna, Rama, they were not of that time. They are very late; they came. But there are twenty-four incarnations. In their very beginning is this Tattva called the Guru Tattva. And every different kind of saint, different kind of quality, may call devas, asuras, rākṣasas, many different kinds of qualities. But they also have their guide, their master. If they are not in their master’s tradition, or with that, they are lost because they have to join some power. And with this power, they are existing. It is not proper compromising, not a compromise, but like what you call the groups. So we cannot compare with that, but it could be a little example. In Kali Yuga, now we have political parties. And so, every party, so who is supporting which party? And they are according to their nature, their intellect. Their feelings are joining to the one party. Similarly, there are in the astral energy different kinds of energies, and from time to time, developing their power, and for some time, they try to govern. But above all that, there is that, it’s called the Brahma Tattva. It’s called Śiva Tattva. Brahma Tattva, and above that is called Guru Tattva. Therefore, it is said, "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu." So all incarnations, all saints, they had their master. It doesn’t matter how much spiritual energy you have, or which star you are, but you have to get initiation to enter into that particular stream of spirituality. So they have their own path, and every path comes to one path. So it is said, those who are just thinking of the path, they will not find anything. But they have to go beyond this path. Then it becomes the oneness. So many rivers. Some will stop. Some will dry. Some will join somewhere. But they have the names of the rivers. But when they merge into the ocean, then there is no path. There is no river. There is no name. All this will disappear. Only one ocean, and that is only one Brahman. That’s called Brahma Satya Jagat Mithyā. Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti, only one is Brahman. Dvitīya Nāsti, where there are two, they will not remain forever. This consciousness has to merge into that cosmic consciousness. And so it reminds us, their life, their being here, their blessings, everywhere is with us. And for humans, for some it is very difficult to understand, and out of ignorance they are lost. Even they are fighting against them. They were fighting against all goddesses. And when the real incarnation comes, when yugas change, when darkness is too much, Rākṣasas, asuras, or satans, that time, he comes with blessings or with weapons. Because that darkness has to be removed, that devil has to be removed, and save these pure souls. Therefore, such a time is giving us a lesson. Even in the culture, in children, they understand God. There is one example: the day before yesterday, I was coming from somewhere, and Mansa Devī and I, so we got out of the car. So, generally, sometimes a small child is frightened when they see some different person. So, I was with my orange coat, my orange dress, beer, so that one young lady came, and she had a three- or four-year-old child. And the child was calling loudly, "Mother, mother, the Christmas man again." And then again, the child was coming towards me quickly. So, and she said, "What he said?" Saint Nicholas gave comment. What do you call him? So he said, "You are the God-man." I said, "Yes, I am." And he was so happy, and if it were at another time, maybe the child would hide himself behind the mother. So, how do children understand this culture, or traditions, or speaking, or time? Parents explain to them. So if we learn in our cultures, and remember from time to time and tell the children stories, then they will learn, they will follow. You all have been doing this. It’s a culture, and with this culture, for this one Christmas, children are waiting. And the small children, they believe. So what kind of knowledge do you give them or teach them? They believe the parents. And so, what they are doing in Europe, I have witnessed. That on Christmas Day, they have a Christmas tree in Europe, and then they are making decorations, and they tell the children to go in the room, and Jesus will bring something for you. And they are all in the room, waiting and waiting. And then they open the door, and they run. And the parents said, "Yes, baby, Jesus was here for you. He brought this. But we didn’t see him. He’s so busy. And he had to bring her from billions of houses, children. So you came just ten seconds too late. Next time. But he brought something for you," and children believe. They believe. And now, if it is not like this, then we take away this joy of the children. So similarly, we also have the same kind of traditions. So God is here, God’s prasād. And when once I was in Christmas time in Australia, there was no Christmas tree, and children don’t know anything about it. They go on the beach. That’s it. So, Deśa and Kāla, according to the place and time. Now we are here, they are harvesting, everything is finished. The winter night came dark. A lot of snow, there is nothing to work in the field, so people have nothing to do. So what they do? Eat and drink and fight. But suddenly comes Christmas, and there again the spiritual awareness awakens. So who is drinking, they will drink. But generally, people will turn spiritual, so we know which season when we celebrate some holy incarnations. So, whenever we have some problems, we are fearful, scared, don’t know what to do, then we should remember God. Jab jab man ghabraye, tum prath na karo, jab raha nazar nai aayi, tum prath na karo. Jab jab man ghabraye, whenever your mind is scared, prayer, and when you don’t see the path, prayer. It will come. So these are such beautiful things. And our coming together in satsaṅg, with the presence of the Gurudevas, is immensely purifying. Many lives’ karmas are getting little less and less. But we have to follow. Our whole work, years of work, we can destroy in seconds. There is a beautiful glass vase, and how much work it has caused. How the process was, went into the heat, in the fire. Melting, and the person, the master, who learned to make the vase, nicely carved or painted, it took time, but just fall down out of the hands, within no time it breaks, it splits everywhere. And this is that, many, many years we do our sādhanā, our faith, our confidence. But suddenly, who knows from which life, some darkness, karma comes and is suddenly destroyed. All the good work is finished. So the āsurī śakti, negative energy, darkness, negative karmas, they are too quick. But to get again to that divine, it takes time. Therefore, it is in Manavadhiri Dhirachal. Be careful. It means be careful. Always, negative thoughts can destroy very much. A beautiful, beautiful white shirt just came out of the laundry. Ironed, and you are wearing it. And you want to go somewhere, and in the street somewhere or a staircase, suddenly someone says, "Hello, friend, how are you?" in black figures. So again, there is a spot, so again you have to bring it to the laundry. It takes... The process to again remove the spots, so we have many spots in our citta and antaḥkaraṇa, there are many spots. It is said, anek janma dohe, many, many lives we purify our mind, but still there are some spots that are very difficult to remove, but if we continue our sādhanā, our faith, then it doesn’t matter how many spots are there; you will come through, and that’s very important. Practice and remember. I am very happy to see you all, and we have nice programs. So we have here so many Swāmīs sitting left and right. First is our Swami Shantī Devī and Hṛdayakamal. You were together, Sannyāsnikṣa, you were first. You were first, and then Gajanan. And then here they come: Pārvatī, Yamunā and Śāntī. So many, many people are sitting here in a great sense. My God! They can get up one after another, you know. They are sitting, like in the Himalayas, peacefully in the caves. Because they don’t want to work. They send someone to go to the saṃsāra. We will bless from here. So those saints in the Himalayas, they are sending blessings. But some who are very curious, so come into this world. Practically help them. I wish you all the best.
