Go on your spiritual path

The world is tension and noise. Stress arises from one-sided attempts to overcome difficulties. Awareness of one's limitations is essential. The human being is the problem, born with humans. Incarnations and prophets did not solve it completely. So understand the situation: let it go as it is. It will develop more complications, laws, difficulties. Live in the noise; if the noise stops, life stops. Do not give up. We hang on a very thin thread, and that thread pulls us to the Divine.

Yoga brings light into consciousness. Practicing āsanas and prāṇāyāmas peacefully unites you with yourself and God. Do not hurry. The thread is in God’s hands. Doubt loses time. Simple techniques release tension. Massage the jaw muscle near the ears, clockwise and anticlockwise. Massage the root of the nose near the eyebrows. Massage from the nose roots down to the corner teeth. These send messages to the brain center, releasing stress. Or mentally repeat the neutral mantra, counting one to five repeatedly. This binds the mind and dissolves stress.

“Deen Bandhu Dīna Nāth, merī dorī tere hāth. The thread on which I am hanging, it is in your hands.”

“Only that spiritual path can create peace in the world.”

Time does not wait for anyone, and karma will not leave anyone. This is one hundred percent certain. We are in between, but we will come through. We were talking about tension, stress, and the cause of this stress, as I told you, is one-sided power. One tries to forget or overcome certain problems or difficulties. So first, become aware of your own life and be aware of your limitations. It is said that even if God were to come to this earth, its problems would not be solved. Whenever God incarnated, something became better, but the majority did not. All these twenty-four incarnations—after what we call Jesus or some other prophets—could not solve the problem. So the human is the problem. This problem is born with humans. So that will continue like this. You know, there is one story Gurujī told many times, and I have also told it again. A man was riding on the back of a horse, and he came upon a farmer who had a water pump powered by a diesel engine. The horse was very thirsty. The rider brought the horse to that farmer and said, “My horse is thirsty. Can you somehow give us some water?” The farmer opened the pipe, which was discharging water into the earth, onto the sand, but a little water was there that the horse could drink. The horse was thirsty. As soon as the farmer starts the generator, it makes noise, and the horse is frightened. It does not want to drink. So the owner of the horse said to the farmer, “Please, can you stop the generator for a while?” He stops it. The noise ceases, but there is no water. Again, the rider said, “Can you start the pump, please?” The farmer starts the generator. It makes a noise, and the horse again backs away. A few times, the rider asked the farmer to stop and start, stop and start. When the generator is stopped, there is no water. When the generator is running, it makes noise, but the horse does not drink. So this is the world. This is that world. If you want to get everything, you must get it in this noise of the generator. If you stop this generator, there is nothing; you will die. Therefore, understand the situation of the world. Let it go as it is. It will develop more and more. Every day, one after another, ideas are coming. Many complications are arising, many different laws. Finally, they are making so many laws and so many difficulties. So it will remain only one. Many people will commit suicide because there is no money, no work, so many rules and regulations, illnesses, etc. That is humans creating their own troubles. Can we not live in harmony? Why do we criticize others? Why are we blackmailing others? Why do we put somebody in trouble? So, this is Kali Yuga or Satya Yuga. And Satya Yuga was also not as happy as you think. There were big problems: Rākṣasas and Devas. Can you remember the churning of the ocean? It was in the Yuga, and you know how much fighting there was in heaven. All the time, he is dead. So that is why we shall try to understand. Let it come what comes, and let us go. But we should not give up, for maybe it is a very thin thread, but we are hanging on this thread. And this thread will pull us to the Brahmaloka. Deen Bandhu Dīna Nāth, merī dorī tere hāth. Deen Bandhu, O Lord of the meek ones, Deen Bandhu Dīna Nāth, O Lord, merī dorī tere hāth. The thread on which I am hanging, it is in your hands. God, will you sometime pull this thread towards you? So we are all hanging on these threads. We are like puppets. But we shall know that we are puppets of God, of the Satguru. So we shall work towards overcoming our depressions. It will not come in one day, five days, twenty years, or fifty years. For example, if you have some problem and there is a capable person, and you talk to that person, “Please, can you help me?” Then, if the person says, “Yes, I will do it for you,” that is it. But do not go and ask again and again, “Can you help me, please? Will you help me, please?” Then this person also becomes a little bit angry. So do not cry every day, here and there. So become aware. Awareness: all that is coming, all kinds of thoughts, are within us, not from outside. We have to awaken that awareness in everyone, that we shall go on the spiritual path. Only that spiritual path can create peace in the world. And now, in this time, yoga is something that will change the world. You know, not millions, but billions of people are practicing yoga. Let’s say twenty percent are nonsense. They are making nonsense theater. But eighty percent, you can say, are here to save the world. And it will grow more and more. So the time has come that yoga has brought light into human consciousness. Become aware. So it does not matter if you believe or not in God, or in some religion, but practicing yoga, āsanas, prāṇāyāmas—only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas, relaxation—will change your life into the positive. Because when we practice āsanas and prāṇāyāmas peacefully, we are one with ourself. And being one with ourself means we are one with God. He is with us. So keep on practicing, doing. Be aware. Everyone wants to come to God quickly, but do not hurry. That thread is in His hand. And definitely He will bring you one day. Like there is one book from Kabīrdās, and Kabīrdās has written many beautiful bhajans. There is one book which is written, The Weaver of God. It means God’s bhajans. So when you are making socks or something, you know, or a cap—these ladies are doing, you know, what is that called? Hitting, huh? Striking. In the strike. And mostly women do it. So be sure they will be successful. So we are doing. And that is why we have this bhajan, Guru Deva. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, so certainty, if you are a little in doubt, then it is a doubt. Should I or should I not? Should I or should I not? In this, you will lose time. That is it. So make thyself aware of what you want. And do not think that you put a seed of a fruit in the earth, and tomorrow you will have the fruits. It has its time. But when someone has tension or stress, then there is one point: when we are doing Yoga Nidra, we are relaxing, then we call the temple. Now, these two fingers, or three fingers, two fingers, here, muscles between here, and just hold it. Now, bite your teeth, like you are chewing something. Here is a muscle. You feel it? Now, there, you relax your teeth. And rotate with these two fingers, with a little pressure, massage. Clockwise ten times, and anti-clockwise ten times, then you relax. This will send the message to your brain center. It will release a lot of tension, and also for those who have a headache. It is a mantra. It is like a mantra. So repeat it a few times. Or you are sitting in your office in a chair, looking into the computer, and you are tensed. Nowadays they call it burned out. You are not burned. There is no coal, no ash. So put your elbows on your table, and then sit and make this massage for a while. Close your eyes. Immediately, your stress will release. The second point is like an acupressure. It is here, near the roots of the nose, near the eyebrows, and here with both thumbs. Close your eyes and gently massage here. Ten times clockwise, ten times anticlockwise. And then only press, gently press and release, press and release. Two minutes. And then the third technique, you go like an alphabet V. But this V, like in Victoria, but this upside down. So it means that we go with our finger, middle finger or any finger where you have more strength, and from the roots of the nose, slowly, while massaging, bring it down until you touch your tooth root, the corner tooth, here. The corner tooth, so you go from here slowly down, down. The nostrils, and coming to the teeth, left and right. Also, eleven times. After, close your eyes. And a few times, deep inhale and exhale, your stress will release. No tablets, no injections, no therapies, no hours and hours of meditation. Yes, how easy it is. Or there is another one to release stress with meditation, but then… Remember your mantra. Practice your mantra. Concentrate. Then your stress is gone. You become thyself. You become thyself. And that is very easy. Someone does not want a mantra, someone does not believe in a mantra, someone says it is not my religion, it is not my culture, etc. So there is a very neutral mantra, and that will release your tension. How easy it is. This was the technique of one of the yogīs. His name was Maharṣi Maheś Yogī. Did you hear his name? Who does not know? Hands up, Maharṣi Maheś Yogī. Hands up. Okay, now you know. Ok. So, first he said, of course, mantra is the best. But there are some people, so-called high intellectuals, yeah? Lost ones. So you sit straight and close your eyes. Close your eyes. Relax. Concentrate. Concentrate. And now, mentally, repeat that mantra, which I will tell you. That is mantra, so God, some big companies, money, people, and they do not believe in mantras, but they want to release the stress. So this is a mantra for those who still have not found the path. But it functions. So, mentally repeat the mantra, not loudly. I will loudly chant, and you will chant with me. It is a beautiful rhythm, and we have to go step by step, five. Relax, concentrate, and now practice this mantra. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Yes. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five… One… Now repeat mentally. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,… 1, 2. Otherwise, you miss the number, so that you do not miss the number. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Besides, you do not go to Budapest, Hungary. Budapest, no. Then the number is missing, so no other thoughts come. That is called Cittavṛtti Nirodhaḥ. Patañjali said, “Cittavṛtti Nirodhaḥ.” One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five, but you are completely bound to it. So this is a technique to release the stress. Do not go somewhere and pay five hundred or five thousand dollars for one or two days of meditation to release stress. And there are some who have big stress, and they charge $25,000. And they put them into meditation, and then only count. You are billionaires. So, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions, one, two, three, four, five, billions… or your mantra, but now your mantra, when you repeat, your thought is somewhere else. So if you can meditate and repeat your mantra, mānasik mantra, they concentrate on oneness. Then there is no stress. So, try this, and next time when we come, you can ask me if you are in tension or not. So, you have a tension, or you are in tension? What is your intention? What kind of tension do you have? That is it. So, we can sing one bhajan. Let’s sing one bhajan. And this mantra is a very hidden mantra. This five number is Śiva. Oṃ Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṃ Namaḥ Śivāya. This is Śiva’s number, and the best Rudrākṣa is the five-lined. So, you can also give some of your friends a nice Rudrākṣa. Mahāprabhudīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhudīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhudīp Karatā He Kevalam… Not only this seminar, but all the seminars from Kranj, Strilky, Vape, everywhere were really, really nice seminars. And we learn a lot of new things. We hear—I joke today with Muktānand—we hear the best definition of Nāhaṁ Kāratā. Try to be the least obstacles that divine force is doing through you. And in each seminar, I always have only one thought in my mind. How is this possible? We hear so many lectures from Viśvagurujī. And all the time, Viśvagurujī makes stories in such a nice way. That is a miracle. And we learn, and we hear a lot of talks about Divine Līlā. But we must be aware that every seminar, every satsaṅg is Divine Līlā. And really, Divine Līlā is that we are all together here. Because in these days, not only in the Kali Yuga, but in this month, everybody is only shopping. But Viśvagurujī had that strength, that we are all together, and we are all together in a spiritual way. Because mostly these festivals are now only material and nothing else. But through yoga, through being in satsaṅg, this festival again has a real meaning, and that is the spiritual meaning. In the most darkest day, night, in the year, a new sun, a new king is born. And that is that conscience, and that is that hope. And we hear that in the future, there will be so many laws and so many diseases. It is not just in the future, but nowadays we are terrified with life. And if you do not have spirituality, and especially if you do not have a master, life is really saṃsāra, without any meaning and sense. And everything is going only in a circle: eating, sleeping, going to the toilet; eating, sleeping, going to the toilet. There is one song in Bosnia, “Kuča Poso, Poso Kuča.” What does that mean? It is home, work, work, home. Home, work, work, home. Nothing else. And in Kali Yuga, we also lose a family. We lose security. And life is really not so nice, and we think that we have freedom. We think that if I work more, I will have more freedom and more joy. But in the end, we are slaves more and more. And here is a way how to not be a slave. And Viśvagurujī is teaching us how to go from being a sheep to becoming a lion. And that is the most important thing, and for that, because I have this great luck, I have the closing words on this stage. Satsaṅg, thank you, thank you so much for these moments, not only in the web, but from all these satsaṅgs, from past, present, and future.
