Om, chant Om. Sayo nitya dayanti yogīna vandam mokṣadam che Om, kārayana namo śubham karoti kalyāṇam ārogyam dhanasampadah śatrubhude vināśaya. Our adoration, our salutation, our respect to all the holy saints and Gurudev. That is a beautiful bhajan which we began to translate yesterday. This bhajan is very good: "Gurudev darśan dhan ho." "Gurudev darśan dhan ho" means it is a great blessing to have the darśan of the Gurudev. The darśan of the Gurudeva is the greatest wealth. Darśan means the vision of God. There is darśan, and there is kudarśan. Kudarśan refers to the āsurī śaktis, the demonic symbols, the Rakṣasas. Darkness is the asurī śakti, and light is the divine śakti. As I spoke yesterday, what do we get through darśan? First, what we all search for is to see holy things: temples, God's statues, God's holy places, and also the darśan of mother and father. When you get up, first, when you open your eyes, you should see the darśana of the Gurudev or the God in whom you believe. As long as you have no Satguru, then you have a darśana of your parents; they are the first God. They brought us here. One cannot be thankful enough to the parents, to the mother, to the father. And the children, this is the second step. Therefore, the parents should always be in harmony with the children. Separation, divorce, this is not good. This is an education for the human. Humans have knowledge. Humans have viveka, and humans know what the family means. You are not marrying only for a few years, but it should be lifelong. Many times it is said a couple has many, many lives together. When one dies, the second one will also very soon pass away. There are many stories. When the father died, your father, soon the mother will follow. Or when the mother dies, soon the father will follow. Because that soul is waiting, and so they will meet each other. That is called the human life, the meaning of the human. And human life is an education for all. So, Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava. Mātṛ Devo Bhava—first is mother, God. Pitṛ Devo Bhava—Pitṛ means father. So Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava. Ācārya Devo Bhava and Ṛṣi Devo Bhava. So, the Acharya is the one who is giving us knowledge. Your school teacher gives you knowledge. And it is not easy. The whole year, you are sitting on one chair. That chair is not so comfortable. Ask your buttocks how hard the pāsīna is. Always sitting, always writing. And the teacher tells you, "Silent. Why did you come late?" Many things. And he said, "Yes, he said, 'I am sorry because that is your guru.'" That is called the Vācārthī Guru, the teacher of theories. Nowadays you are torturing children, already after one and a half years sending them to kindergarten. We know in Europe, at least six years, and then go to school. But before, you are already torturing them in kindergarten. The mother has to be at home, or the father. Then there is a ceremony to go first to school, Vidyā. Vidya means knowledge, and there is a beautiful ceremony. We are doing here in Europe also, in some countries, I think. Maybe in all European countries, but when the first day you come to school, the teachers welcome the children and give them something nice—some chocolate or something, nuts and this and that. That is a ceremony. But the real ceremony is when the ācārya, a paṇḍit, makes pūjā and gives blessings with dhava and ho. So be good, educated, or knowledgeable. Dostaň dobré vzdělanie, poznanie—so your teacher is your second guru. Pravda. Guru, you know, everyone, we have many, many times spoken. Guru means darkness. And guru means light. Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from the darkness to the light. So, darkness is ignorance, and light is knowledge. Lead us from darkness to the light. We have everything. We are born human with all abilities and everything, but it is still dormant. It is the treasure that is locked. You have to open it, that is it. There is one bhajan: at that time when the disciple sees the God. That same sees the teacher. What happens then? In this intellectual knowledge or this theoretical knowledge? And when we come to the Satguru, whom we meet, Gurudev, that is the Ṛṣi. Mātṛ Deva Bhava, Pitṛ Deva Bhava, Ācārya Deva Bhava, Ṛṣi Deva Bhava. So when you come to the school, you all went there. Then, systematically, getting like a flower, a lotus flower, in the dawn, early morning on Brahmamuhūrta, that opens that lotus, the enfoldment of the petal. And as one petal to another petal is opening, there is aroma. Similarly, in our mastiṣk, in our brain and in our heart, one after the other, the petal of knowledge is opening. That is like our chakras. So, it is said—that is one story. So in this bhajan, I wanted to tell, there are two or three bhajans coming in between. When I am sitting here on Alakpurījī Siddha Pīṭha, and Gurujī is giving me so much, Mahāprabhujī is giving so much, Devapurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Elapurījī, sometimes Paṇḍājī is doing abhiṣeka, you know, with little water and flowers. But our Siddhapīṭhas, our Gurudevs, they are putting like a waterfall; that is called Guru Kṛpā. Guru Kṛpā, he gave them this Vidyā. This, what you are learning, this is for your surviving. What we call, we can eat and have something, our material life, existing, to live, existence. For that, we are learning. Of course, we are learning; we are doing something good for the world, then this and that. It is also knowledge, but you are paid for that. That is it, existence. And nowadays the whole world is a slave, who is working somewhere, under someone—government or factories, companies; it is a slave. And you have to come on time there, and you have to work till then. If you do not come, you will be absent. Even the ambassador, if he comes a little late, then I will come. Even the prime minister, the prime minister, minister, they are the slaves of the public. So this is called our worldly vidyā. The other is the spiritual vidyā. That only we can get through surrender, nothing else. Humbleness, surrender. So, this bhajan we were singing many times. When we have darśana of Gurudeva, what happens? We know everything, we know many things. So likewise, vidyā, that vidyā that comes through blessing, not through this worldly knowledge, because that is within, and we know everything. And the other is out. So it is called vācārthī and lakṣārthī. Vācārthī is that which we can read, which we can talk about. And lakṣārthī is that one who has aim, lakṣa, and that lakṣa is called our aim. So that I will achieve that. There is one bhajan, also there are so many beautiful bhajans. When you meditate and when you cannot concentrate and meditate, then remember all these bhajans. And there is one bhajan, a very nice bhajan, and that bhajan is forgotten, but I know. But the beginning, I do not know, so it is said: Whether you have to walk on thorns or you have to burn in the fire, you will get it. You will get the truth. You will only get happiness. That is it, the real, this Ātmā, this Jīvātmā. This ātmā gets happiness, security, peace, love, and harmony. That ātmā gets that there is no more danger. And that is at the shelter of the Gurudeva. And that comes through the blessing. If there is little doubt, you are out. That is it. A little doubt, you are out. Without any delay. Without any delay, you are out. And then we said, Čukěko čarasi. These are words, these are folk words, folk languages. But the words are so good that you put that nail in, and no one can take it out. Like Gurujī said, four Vedas. There are four Vedas, and if you learn all four Vedas, you have to be stuck on the āsana, not on the chair. It begins morning three o’clock and till eleven o’clock, morning three or four till eleven. Then you get a little some juice or a little milk, and then again chanting and again chanting, about five to six years, eight years. One Veda. By heart, by heart. Then other Vedas and this Veda. Takes years. Then Purāṇas, Qurans, everything. Char Vedas, six Śāstras, Indian philosophy, six philosophies of India. The essence of all these Vedas, Śāstras, and philosophies is the final, final, final essence of that. Only two. Two words, but that is all. My God. 30, 40 years, 50 years, you were chanting all the time. But all that is only two words, finally. Śuk diya śuk hothe, duk diya duk hoy, finished. Ariyom, śuk diya śuk hothe. If you give others good things, pleasure things, if you help them, you make them comfortable, healthy, happy... Because there is no world exist in German language, in Czech language, in English language. Maybe in some other languages, but in Sanskrit and in Hindi it is śukha. Śukha and duḥkha, these are two words. So śukha is comfort, happy, pleasure, everything. Sukha diya sukha hote. If you give someone this comfort in every aspect, you help them, then you also get sukha. Dukh diyā dukhā hote. And if you give troubles to others, then you will also be in trouble. So if you want to be happy, you want to be comforted, then you should give to others. That is very important. So in the Śāstras, what is written? Gurudev said this. So, where there is true happiness under the shelter of the saints. When you go to the church and a priest or someone is preaching, giving the words of Jesus, how do you feel? Or is it a different religion? Also, when they are going to the mosque, definitely there is so much devotion, very much devotion. And if you can go and listen in Guru Dvārā, in Sikh religion or tradition, and they read Guru Granth, the holy book, it is so beautiful, so great, so divine. You are totally in the... Like samādhi, guruvākya, the whole guru grantha is guruvākya. India has so many, so many scriptures, holy scriptures. And when the Mughals came to India, the Mughals, the Turks, they came to India, and so they brought Islam, you know. When they saw the scriptures, how many books written by the great ṛṣis and sādhus and philosophers. Ṛṣis, sādhus, and philosophers, and they burned all the books. How many months was it burning? In that university? In Nālandā University? They burned the book for six months. They were burning it. What a pity. All knowledge was gone. Therefore, the Vedas, which teach, they say that can happen: the books will be burned, but in your brain it is. Anyone can take away from your hands, but no one can take from your kismat. That is it. So, what I am talking about is the value of the mother and father. And now, in this Kali Yuga, children say to parents, "It is my birthright, now it is my property. You can go first, sign." You know what is the condition with the families now? If again... World peace comes, and again Satya Yuga begins. Then it begins from the women, because the mothers, they have to become a real mother. The mother should realize to her child what is mother’s responsibility, duty, and then give the knowledge to the children is the mother. There was one queen, Madalsa, and when she got married, then she said, "If I will get a child, the child which will come in my womb, that soul will have..." Only the last birth from the womb of the mother. Does not matter, animals or anyone, that will come to the Brahmaloka; it will be Brahmajñāna. And when she got a child, she was, when the child was in the stomach, she was teaching them Vedas and saying, "You are immortal. Aho vācīlā mu, sī nesmṛtelné. Tu ajar jamar se, tu mar to natire. Bhajan he. You are ajar amar. You are ajar amar. So, you are immortal. You will not be born again." And when the child was about 15, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, sent them to the forest, and Brahmajñāna. With the Brahmagyāna, their stories are bigger. So darśan, that is all in the space, longing again to have darśan of mother and father, that I come on this earth, in this mortal world, and I get brahmajñāna. So, do you know what "you" means? "You" means you, couple, your wife and your husband. This is a creator. Do not separate. Do not destroy your life with alcohol and drugs. And you are not giving the children because of all your physical desires. You have responsibility. You are getting God’s child, God’s all. That is very important. So, who are the Gurū Devkā Darśan? Milana hoto, Esau. And therefore we are searching for that darśana. Then I was sleeping in the sleep of dark ignorance. And I awake into the light of the cetanā, awareness. Gurudev darśan dhan ho, chetana ānanda ghan ho. Ānanda means bliss. That awakening of the awareness, the consciousness was so clear, Ghanahu, endless. So we call it Ghan, when a big, big, endless... from that horizon to that, a big cloud, and the thirsty earth is looking up. All the vegetations, they are awakened. Now this rain comes, and we will have pure, good, nectar water. And so is the bhakta when he comes to have a darśana of Gurudeva. If you understand what is a Gurudeva, then in our heart that divine light awakes. I am not talking about dead Gurus, which people are taking—this guru and that guru and that. There are many kangaroos, not a guru. We are searching for the satā guru. And people who are talking negatively about gurus, because they have not seen a true guru until now, and they should come eye to eye. Chachma, chachma, sab kohī kahe, chachma me kheer khilāndā hai. Mahāprabhujī said, "Bahut acchā bhajan hai Mahāprabhujī kā." So Mahāprabhujī’s books are a holy grant, a holy book. So chetan ghan ho, ānand chetan ghan ho. Gurudev darśan dhan ho, cetana ānanda ghan ho. Śeṣa Maheśa kare Guru Seva. Śeṣa means Viṣṇu, who is residing on the Śeṣa Nāga’s body, which is coiled, and Viṣṇu is residing in the Milky Ocean. And so Mahesh is Shiva, Mahesh is Shiva. Mahesh does Guru Shiva, they all... Mahesh does Guru Shiva. Even they are serving the Gurudev. They said, who said? Mahesh, they said, "O Gurudev, please give shelter to thee." We are seeking shelter in thee. We are seeking shelter in thee. O Gurudev, my body, my mind, all my desires, all my imaginations, all I surrender to Thee. It is a dying Gurudev darśan dhan ho, because I have now this darśan. Therefore, but who does not understand, has still doubts. Yeah, talking. Many are saying, many times they said, "Do not worry, do not be unhappy or angry." It is just Swamiji, do not worry. Yes, but not me. This Gāḍī, this holy cell, that is it. From there comes that light. It is not my body, it is that which is within me. When we touch the tree, all the energy of the tree you can feel it. Therefore, we shall understand. Om Namah Shri Prabhu Deepa Narayanam. Ham Sab Das Prabhu Saran Parayanam. Ham Sab Das Prabhu Saran Parayanam.
