There was a poet who wrote poems and songs. He lived in Rajasthan, in the beautiful city of Udaipur, and his name was Uday. He was a disciple of our worshipped Satguru Dev, Swami Madhavānandajī. He wrote a beautiful bhajan, a prayer for the glory of Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. "Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī." "Ish" means Īśvara, God, Brahman. Mahā is great. Prabhu is God, who descends on this earth to liberate the devotees. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ—Nārāyaṇ is Viṣṇu, Dīp is light. In every glory, there is a name of Mahāprabhujī or Gurujī, Devpurījī, etc. You can see in every word: Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī iske avatār Jagjīva, jinke nām se ho te bhava parāhe. Jagjīva—all creatures in this saṃsāra on this earth. Jagjīva jinn ke nām se—if they hear this and hear the name of Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, they will cross the ocean of this māyā, this ignorance. To cross the ocean—the ocean is symbolic—we come to the shore. We are sitting on the beach, and now we know what water is. Here, we don't know what water is. There is a very nice song. One is telling the water frog: "Oh frog, what are you doing glorifying thyself in this little pond of water, or in the hoof-print of a cow stuck in the earth and filled with water?" The frog thinks, "Oh, my world is so big, very big." But he doesn't know. On one side, he is trying to catch a moth, and on the other side, a snake is waiting and counting the breath of the frog. On another side, a cat is waiting, and on yet another side is the little white duck. All these arts are telling this frog: "Frog, what are you making yourself proud for? All these enemies are counting your breath." Dederia, chod chileyari asa. O chileyo ghali upalagkaka. Give up the hope of this little pond. This will not last long. It’s only some minutes or seconds. Why don’t you enter into the endless ocean? What a beautiful bhajan song. Only they can go where the sunlight cannot reach, beyond that point. You have freedom. You should also do something. Make some poem, some song. But we think there is nothing to do. Once, a man came to Holy Gurujī, and Gurujī asked, "What are you doing? What’s your profession?" He said, "I’m a writer. I’m writing articles, translations, songs, bhajans. But Swamiji, I have one problem." Gurujī said, "What is the problem?" He said, "The cream is taken away. The butter is gone. What remains behind is the buttermilk." It means the thin water of milk, or thin yogurt. Nothing is left. They have eaten all the cream. Mīrāmbāī, Tulasīdāsa, Sūradāsa, Kabīrdāsa—all these saints. They took these good words, and nothing was left behind. Only the buttermilk remains. Buttermilk means the butter is taken out; only the thin water of the milk remains. Gurujī said, "Yes, that’s right." So the man said, "Swamiji, Gurujī, can you suggest something to me? Because I know you are a great saint; you wrote so many bhajans and so many poems." Gurujī said: "If they ate the cream, it’s okay. But they didn’t eat the cow. Feed the cow with the grass of love, the feeder of love, and milk your cow day and night so you will have enough butter again. So if butter is eaten, what does that mean? The cow is still with us. Chara Dalo Premka—feed her with love. Do a dinner and milk her day and night. So this cream is with you. That wisdom is with you." But that is a buddhi. That is intellect. Knowledge. So every one of us has a particular path. And we concentrated on that way, and we became successful in that. Every day, new technology is coming. Yes, because they have that kind of thought in their brain. So there is no end. It is endless. But if you remain thinking, "This technique is enough, and don’t worry, and I can’t do anything," then that is at least a small pond. So you are that little lazy frog, jumping here and there, and in the night, singing and dancing. But he knows very soon the cobra is coming... da-da-da-da-da... We cannot swim with the strength of our arms. Okay, 100 meters. Okay, 200–300 meters on the Adriatic coast. In other oceans, they are beautiful, beautiful. They have a title called shark, a beautiful shark. And she’s dancing like this. She bites you, not like that, turns like that. So there are also many enemies, not only the enemy for the little frog, but for you too. And these sharks are temptation. I don’t know who is a shark, she or he. That’s it, which will swallow you. So there are many, many in that ocean, and that ocean is endless. And that is saṃsāra. We have no chance to go. Great Surdā said in one song: "One bird is sitting on the boat, a big ferry, and this ferry is now going in the ocean. From one morning till evening, now a bird is born to go back but can’t see the shore." The bird is sitting on the boat. The sun rises, but the ship is very far in the ocean. Now the bird can’t see anywhere the soul, any trees, anything. But try to go. Fly away. Stretching the wings, and it takes flight. After 40 kilometers or 100 kilometers, the bird cannot anymore fly; it’s tired. Where to sit? It will sit on the water. There, many will become gone again. That bird tries to see if there’s anywhere shelter, and there’s only one shelter: that ship, and flies there. Surdhājī said, "O God, I am that bird of that ferry, born to fly away, but I don’t see any shelter but thee, O my Lord." So we are sheltered in Gurudev’s. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, Ish ke avatār hai, jag jīv jin ke nām se hote sadā, bhav pār hai. The bhāva is the ocean. Bhāva means this world. Bhāva means where we are. In which world are we there? It doesn’t matter where we are; by the name of Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, it means our paramparā will definitely let us cross the ocean of ignorance, because it is He. He is Īśvara, avatāra of the Īśvara. Because he is Īśvara, avatāra of the Īśvara, we will get liberation. We will get it, and if we get that, that means we will truthfully get liberation. Charanraj jo sadhā mastiṣk dhare—the dust of the Gurudeva’s lotus feet. If every day you put on your mustisk tilak... It can be just one grain of sand. It’s not the quantity, but the quality. Or mentally, in your meditation, after you put that, you are putting the dust of your master’s Lotus Feet. And what happens when you have, every day—don’t forget, every day this test—Guru kī anupam kṛpā, by the blessing of the Gurudev. Sad bhakt—the real bhakt, the pure bhakt, not changing every day. No doubts. Doubt means you are out without any excuse. That’s it. Confidence. Faith. That’s it. The embryo in the womb of the mother—both mother and the embryo have that kind of relation. There is no second. That is the ocean. There is another ocean in the womb of the mother, endless. When it’s born, it comes out and is liberated. But we came to another world, another womb: the womb of Mother Earth. Now we are in the womb of nature, and that will let us cross this, what we call the Guru Kṛpā. There is an eternal light; a flame is burning. As long as the flame burns, there will be light. But when the flame is blown out, you are again in darkness. And so it is with Guru Bhakti. The devotion towards the Gurudev is very fragile. The flame of the devotion, the flame of the knowledge, the flame of Bhakti should not blow off. Don’t cut it off. You don’t know when and how you will again light that light of faith to the Guru Bhakti again. That’s why Anant, endless, they lost the path again. They lost again in the darkness. Śaḍ-bhaktas—real bhaktas, truthful bhaktas, not always launa, the moody. I’m not telling you, okay? You are not that one, okay? But there is someone who feels inside, "It will be okay." Then, balance. Din raat śumiran kar—day and night. Iyan Appal. Śumiran kar. So you see, the Sumeran came here again. So not only Nanak Dasi said, not all the other saints said, but every saint said, and the poet also said: "Say Rām, Rām." Not the "Rām, Rām." "Rām, Rām" means the name of God. Ram means money, money, money. That’s it. My money, my property, my house, my body, my car, my bank money, my tent money, my jewelry, my this. My money, money, money. Rām, Rām,... Rām not Dām, Dām,... Dam, God will give you dam, dam, dam also, but then when the soul goes out, nothing can go with you but Rām. Rām will go with you, so "Mukh me Rām, aur ātme kām." "Mukh mera" means have a name of God in your mouth. And your hands, you should have work. That’s it. Dīn Ratha Sumiraṇa Kara Gurū Kā Gurū Kṛpā Tuma Pāvahī, Jisa Se Tere Jaga Ke Vikaṭa Sadā Nikata Nāhī Āvahī. Therefore, repeat your mantra. Through this, you will create the Guru Kṛpā. Through that, no troubles will appear in your life. No troubles, no complications will come near to you. It will be coming, but it will not affect. It’s only your vṛtti, your mind, you know, our ignorance. Ignorance is suffering, not the devotion, not the knowledge. Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the avatāra of God, whose name is always in the name of the living beings of the world. God is the avatar of God, whose name is always in the name of the living beings of the world. Vah Parabrahm Prabhu, vahee jag ke vidhātā, man tu jag dees ke avatār, sṛjan har unkā, unko jā nahī. He is Parabrahman. And he is a Brahman. He is a Prabhu. Who is that? Who is that? Mahāprabhujī. Vidhata, you know who is Vidhata? Who is writing the destiny. So he said, "Mahāprabhujī has written the destiny of this world. Oh dear bhaktas, the destiny of you is in the hands of Mahāprabhujī. O Kedvesh Bhaktak, a sorshotok Mahāprabhujī kezében van." Jag ke vidhātā jānatun, jagadīś ke avatār sṛjan, sṛjan. Jagdīś ke avatāra—he is the incarnation of Jagadīś. Jag means the world, and īś means the Īśvara. Ūs Jagadīś incarnation, Jaga világot jelenti, īś pedig Īśvara. Jagadīś ke avatār sṛjan har jān unko. So he is sṛjan hara, sṛjan hara and visarjan hara—the creator and the liberator or destroyer. If you have the kṛpā of the Gurudev, but you know, with one hand you cannot make a sound. You need both hands. If you know hands, then you have a cheek. So it should be from both sides. That’s it. Sadguru Kripa says, "Therefore, by the blessing of Mahāprabhujī, the karma, meaning desires and wrong actions, kāma-krodha, because through that comes anger." And krodha—holy Gurujī said, the krodha is that devil which will take away everything from you on the door. You can’t take anything in. From the door, he will steal it. So you have to purify your antaḥkaraṇa: mana, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāras. Mana, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāras—ego, proudness. Give up. Then your bhaktas will get that devotion to Gurudeva. So that through the Guru’s grace, all this illusion and all this will be far away. The embodiment of the Guru-Dev is so beautiful. Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru-Mūrti. Always have a vision of the Guru-Dev. Always inside. That, in our inner altar, there is sitting Gurudev. Many other masters are there. If there is something good, you can learn, no problem. But our shelter is there. Then we can come through. Otherwise, you fly from here somewhere, and there is no more shelter, because only once you have the Master. Then this Mohamāyā Mohanī. Mohanī means who can attract you, lead you to the wrong direction. That Mohanī came through when she was giving. Viṣṇu took the form of the Mohanī, and on one side she was giving the nectar, the amṛta, and on the other side, soma—alcohol, that’s it. So that was the Mohanī. Mohanī is a beautiful name. You can be your name Mohanī, but be very careful, otherwise, okay? I will not tell further. So, "Gurū kī māno har mūrti, man meṁ sadā dhāraṇa kare." Wahan jag lubhavani mo maya, ke jaal se phir kyon dare. Then, the net of the trick of the Mohanī, don’t worry, don’t worry, because she cannot do anything to you. Yes. So when you have a temptation in your mind, and that temptation tries to touch your heart, then it is said, "Gurū kī manohar mūrti manmeṁ sadā dhāraṇī kare." Immediately see the form, the picture of Mahāprabhujī, inside in your... visions, then the world will appear differently. Satguru kripa. Through the blessing of Guru, Ankh. Ankh means what the Vidhātā, the destiny, has written. Ankh Vidhānā. The Vidhānā is that destiny who is writing. Vidhānā is the destiny who is writing. Guru Dev can delete what she has written. Yes, many times I have experienced from many people that destiny, which Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and the Vedānta say is fixed, can be changed by Gurudev. There is a beautiful story. I will tell you next time. So, Satguru kṛpā hī aṅk vidhānā kī mitha vanhār hai, jis par kṛpā kare gurū, unkā hī veda pār hai. So, jis par gurū bedā, means that it lets you cross through the whole universe to the divine Brahmaloka. When you drink the holy water of the Gurudev’s feet, then the call that Yamarāja will never come near to you. Hira-de guru kī jyoti nita hī. Then you will have always in your heart not your light, but Gurudev’s light, enlightenment. Hira-de guru kī jyoti nitā hī. What is that in Hindi? This is written of the Gajānand. So the poet Uday said, by the grace of Mahāprabhujī, that light will always be in my heart. He gave this point to Gurujī. Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī isake avatāre jagjīva jisake na... Oh, he’s imitating me. All the best till tomorrow.
