Part 1: The Rarity of Human Life and the Cosmic Law of Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate Chant Om three times. You have learned to chant the Om very nicely. Somewhere, not here, but somehow you will get there. Okay? Deep inhale. Alakhpurījī Mahādev Kī Jai, Devādhidev Deveśvar Mahādev Kī Jai, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagvāne Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagvāne Kī Jai, Satya Sanātan Dharma Kī Jai. Human body, human life, human consciousness. It is very rare for this jīva, this soul, to get this body. There are 8.4 million different kinds of creatures. There are many, even such small creatures, that we cannot see with our eyes. They are also a jīva. Water itself is life. It is said, water is life, and life is water. The trees also have life. Everything that grows, the algae in the ocean, the grass, bushes, trees, etc., all that is growing and is life. On one tree, how many creatures are there? Thousands or millions of creatures live on that. Also, it is said, "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate"—life eats life. When that cosmic law gave this to all living beings on this earth, what will they eat? How will they live? And if everyone will just come and come, it will be like rocks and rocks and rocks. No one will move anywhere, just lying. No activities, no karmas. How will they overcome the karmas through good karma? After long thinking, Bhagavān, or the Viśvakarmā who designed this earth—there is one day which is worshipped as Viśvakarmā. Viśva is this universe, this world, and it is he who has designed it; he is the engineer. Mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers, deserts, forests, everything, and so many creatures. But how will it move? How will it proceed? Even the bacteria are included in the 8.4 million. There is also life. There are some creatures which are just born, manifested, and die. Some are only for some minutes, but this is moving. And that’s why many other saints, when they speak or go, always keep a cloth like this. When they talk, they talk like this. Many Indians you will see. And there is one spiritual movement that is called Jaina, and they have all the time this white mask here. Why? Because when we speak, from our toxins, which come from our dead air, it is like a poison for other creatures. And they are moving here, so many creatures, and they die. And that is called hiṁsā. Hiṁsā means violence. You are killing them, so you see what we call the sin. Sin is a very high principle, a law: one should not do it. So it’s called hiṁsā and ahiṁsā. Hiṁsā and ahiṁsā. Ahiṁsā means non-violence. And violence is not only what you see, but invisible; it is also life. Now, the karma is valid for the humans. Animals, they have to go through the karmas, and even they have some good karmas. Some dogs have such good karma, and some dogs have no karma. Some creatures on the road die, and the car just keeps moving, and the animal is suffering and suffering there and dies with a lot of pain. Other cars also drive over, and there are other creatures sitting in the car. On the lap of that lady, the husband is driving, and she has her cat or dog in her lap. And if the husband doesn’t drive properly, then she shouts at him, "Take care, the dog is nervous or in pain," or something like this. Yes, this is karma: good karma, bad karma. So, hiṁsā means violence. Even we should not unnecessarily chip off the branches of the trees. So, this is called hiṁsā. Ahiṁsā is non-violence, and now you know that Gandhi was bringing the message very strongly, and he got the freedom of India through non-violence. Ahiṁsā, ahiṁsā, and you know, now there is a day. The United Nations have declared the day of non-violence and the day of peace. Well, so, but the creator said, "Jīva jīva bhakṣate," which means one life will eat another life. And that you see sometimes how one animal is attacking another animal and the other animal is suffering. But it is their food. They live only from this. There are many other creatures, birds, and the like; they don’t eat dead bodies. They always eat fresh bodies. Many, many birds also. So then Viśvāmitra, Viśvakarmā, he created this earth to keep the balance, and now we have created pollution. We destroy many, many things. We dig the mountains, the forests, the dams. We block the water flows. Śrī Śrī... We are pressed with the concretes so much, we can’t breathe anymore. So we humans, how far are we going to destroy this earth, our planet? For our comfort, we are killing others. That is a hiṁsā, but supporting it is ahiṁsā. Well, so it is said, jīva jīva bhakṣate, life will eat life. When it is said that all jīvas, all creatures, will come on this earth, it will come like a growing up, and more earth is getting up and up and up, this all soil and the stones. So, they said, "No, we give them soul, jīvā." But jīvā, what will they eat? So first, it is said, the Agni, the fire, said, "I will enter into the body of all living life." Even the plants are aware. So we have a navel, the fire, our Maṇipūra Chakra, solar plexus. The word "solar plexus" comes from the sun. So it is the sun, the sun, that śakti, that power in our navel. And that pure consciousness, or that soul, ātmā, is coming through the sun. As Mahāprabhujī has written one bhajan, and there is one book—you had this from one bhakta from Jaipur—he rewrote it, and Mahāprabhujī, you have that one book, the letters book. So that was one person who unfortunately died. Time goes so quickly, already 20 years, I think, or 18 years. His book is very beautiful and very nicely written, and this book is only the written letters, that’s all. So these letters were written to me and sent to me, and he wrote about his experiences. So he could not meditate. He wanted to meditate. He wanted to have sādhanā. So he came to the Gurujī, and he was coming and doing the sādhanā. So Gurujī said to him, "You should have," he asked, "Gurujī, can you initiate me and give me the mantra?" "Oh, that’s very good. Thank you." Yes, the divine perceptions, Bhagavān, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ, Mahāprabhujī, this is so beautiful, you must read it, you must read it. Then you will say what a yogī is, what practice means, and what a master or guru means. Now, in this book, he has all his handwritten letters, what he wrote. This is his handwritten letter. He writes in each letter the date and everything. So, he asked Gurujī, "Please, Gurujī, can you give me the Guru Mantra?" And Gurujī said, "You should get from Maheśvarānanda, my name." He said, "But Gurujī, you are." He said, "Yes, but he is very high." He is strong. Always, Gurujī wants to push me back to the front, you know. Always, but it is his māyā. It is Gurujī’s divine power. When he was waiting, when I came, Gurujī said, "Give him mantra." I said, "Gurujī, you are here and I give him mantra?" He said, "No, no, you have to give." There are many things in this letter, many, many things. So, one story in this letter you will read: he asked Gurujī, "Gurujī, I cannot meditate." So we got a mantra, and Gurujī always gives two words to Mahāprabhujī, and then only works to me. So this is Mahāprabhujī’s picture, this is a beautiful Mahānā. Now he is meditating, but he is writing this book; it is all handwritten. He said, "Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, I see Kṛṣṇa. I meditate and I see Kṛṣṇa." But he is so restless. Kṛṣṇa is so restless, like this little child. Here and there, he said, "I cannot meditate, I can’t concentrate." So he said, "Ask Mahāprabhujī." He prayed to Mahāprabhujī. And Mahāprabhujī comes in his meditation, not in a dream. And so he prayed to Mahāprabhujī and said, "Mahāprabhujī, I have meditation, and I have always..." The visions of Kṛṣṇa, but he is so restless. So Mahāprabhujī said, "Tomorrow I will tell him." Whom? Kṛṣṇa. So he is sitting in meditation, and he is scribbling in his letter. And Mahāprabhujī said to Kṛṣṇa, "Be silent." Until his meditation, meditating, do not move anymore. And Kṛṣṇa stands there, and Mahāprabhujī is in the vision also. Mahāprabhujī said long ago, about 52 years, he is in samādhi. Next day he came to Gurujī. Mahāprabhujī came in my meditation. Kṛṣṇa came, and Mahāprabhujī told him, "Don’t move. Give him darśan all the time while he is meditating." So, until his last life, his last birth, his last breath, he was having such miraculous things. And this miracle at the end of his life, I did not write. Only what he wrote himself in the letter. In Jaipur, this beautiful city, there is a very ancient temple of Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa. And every day he used to go to this temple to have darśan. And when he was ill or he couldn’t go, then he would pray at home. And he had one friend. He was also devoted to this Krishna temple in Jaipur. And now he is very old. He can’t go. So he comes, he comes, this person, and goes to his friend. And his friend, he’s lying in the bed, he can’t sit up or go and lie like this. He said to him, to his friend, "Once, can I see this again, to the temple, to the Krishna?" So he talked about Mahāprabhujī. So he said, "Okay, I will ask Mahāprabhujī if he can give darśan." So in his meditation, Mahāprabhujī comes, and he asks that he wants to have a darśan. Mahāprabhujī said, "You go there tomorrow and show your hand above him in his face." And then what he sees in his palm, this whole temple and Krishna is touching. His eyes were tearing, and then he said, "Now I am happy, I am content. I saw Krishna," and then he looked at his hand; there was nothing there. So these miracles, yogīs get bhakta. When the bhakta has that kind of devotion and surrender, without any doubts. When in doubt, you are out. Hari Om Tat Sat. And the doubt to remove is not. Sometimes, some situation comes and you have doubts. And this is a call; it’s a test. The divine energy is trying to know if you are strong enough, if you are bhakta enough to come to that highest level or not. So, Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate, life eats life. Well, the solar plexus becomes active. What does that mean? Hunger. Even a very lazy crocodile will not move anymore. But when his stomach is empty and there is jāṭharāgni, the fire of hunger begins to burn, then he is moving that crocodile also to eat something. Each and every creature has the hunger. Little mosquitoes, less than little mosquitoes in Australia, they call sand flies. You know the sand fly? You have, really, but you can’t see them. No, they are not these flies. The sand fly is in Australia, and they are not visible at all. All you feel when they bite. And when they bite, you still can’t see them. So small a creature, and why is he biting? Because he sucks the blood. And as much as you eat, scratching, more and more itching. Oh God! So, our bhaktas from Australia who come for karma yoga to our Jadan Ashram, they brought their clothes in a suitcase, and now it is so much, so hard. Part 2: The Solar Path: Energy, Cave, and Compassion Many people, for nearly 40 years—no, 32 years—they are at home. They are in your mat, and this and that. You cannot get out of it. We try everything. So, such a little creature, but hungry. Otherwise, why should they bite? Yes? So, it is said, bhūkhe ko bhojan dāna. Feed the hungry one. That is the highest principle. Give the hungry one something. Okay, we go that side, not anymore. So, the solar plexus—solar is the sun. That sun is all the time feeding our nābhi, the Maṇipūra Cakra. There are two powers; it is called prāṇa and apāna. Prāṇa is inhalation, Apāna is exhalation. Prāṇa is always bringing the energy through the whole body. And then, the toxins of the body are put out through the apāna. Without apāna, we will die. All impurities from our body, it is Apāna which is bringing them out. So, Sūrya, this is Sūrya Kiran. Kiran means the ray of the sun. But you have to be very careful, very careful. Some people do Trāṭaka on Sūrya, but only when the sun is rising, for half a minute or one minute, you can look there. After that, no, otherwise you will lose your eyes. And also at the sunset, very gently. So at sunset and dawn, there you meditate and look straight to your forehead. There comes this, the Sūrya, this energy goes into our body, and from the nābhi, from the navel to the throat, and this is our Viśuddhi Cakra. And this is a kriyā which we are doing, a prāṇa, how we do the prāṇāyāma. You have to do further. And it is about what I have taught, which is about one quarter. Three quarters are left still; it will come. So that solar from the sun. So Mahāprabhujī is in this book, written—not the person who wrote. He said that Mahāprabhujī saw that if you want to go beyond this sun range, to the Brahma Lokas, the only way is through the sun. And a door of the sun, Devpurījī is sitting. Devpurījī, Alakhpurījī, the Siddhas—that is such a great, great, great sense. I said to myself, "I gave him the mantra, but how could he bend so quickly, high up?" Because he was ripe; the fruit was ripe. It just needed a little bit of air, and the fruit came down. The fruit which ripens on the branch, that is the real taste of the fruit. Otherwise, they are plucking all the apples and fruits, and all are half-ripe. So they can put it in a cool place somewhere, and it takes time to arrive slowly, slowly. And then they put some chemical on it. How much they need, they take out for one day, then put some chemical, and they arrive. So, eat the fruit. But then it is said of fruit, that sun energy, sun energy to arrive. But Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said that in the vegetation—it means the fruits also—"I come as nectar into the vegetation through the moonlight, through the moon rays, and to give life and growth in the sun." So the moon is our Bindu Chakra. The moon, if we see the Amṛta in the Bindu Chakra—we will come after—it is, now is Viśuddhi, then comes Ājñā Chakra, and then comes the sun. So this is sun. You can say Sādhanā, some say Kriyā, some say the light, enlightenment. So, that is what I want to say. This book you should read it, reprint it. We have to reprint it. How many? Do you all have this book or not? Every day you are going, passing, but you do not see. I can tell you one story, okay? There is a small village, and there is a little hill. And people are passing, coming, they do not pay attention. There is a big rock, and other rocks like this. One day, there were a few friends, young students. They were in the university or in the college; they had different subjects, and one was in science; he was studying science. They were walking one day in the afternoon, four or five young students, and suddenly they saw a cave in the mountain. They said, "So many years in our whole life, and no one told us there is a cave." So they went into the cave. Young boys, no? They went five meters, ten meters. They put their hands in their pockets, talking and looking, going and getting distance, getting distance, getting dark. So maybe they were already 100 meters inside. One boy said, "Hey brothers, where are we going? Still we see a little, like internal light, to go out. If we go further and more, and we lose the path, we will not come out again. So, do not go alone into the cave." They said, "Yes, brothers, it is a good idea. Let us go back. Where are we going?" So one boy, who is a student of science, said, "Let us get some earth and stone from here to bring to the research." How? What kind of stones are there, and sent here? So, what happens is that the student of the science goes down to get the earth from there. It was stones, little, little, and so many, and the sound came. "Hey boys, careful, you will be sorry if you take anything." The other said, "You are stupid. Always you are giving stupid things." The science students, they are all shouting to the science students. He is still going down, hand down. Again, he said, "Boy, I warn you, you will be sorry." Others held him and said, "Please let us go out." Fear, life is sweet to everyone, dear to everyone. They said, "Let us have, let your science somewhere, anywhere, come. Out. Forget your silence." He said, "Yes." Now they begin to go, turn back. Sound came. "But I tell you, if you will not take, you will be sorry." Oh God. If you take, it will be troublesome, and if you do not take, you will be sorry. They said, "It does not matter how it is. Let us go out." Another one again said, "When it is, the voice is coming. If we will not take, we will be sorry." They said, the other friend gave him a slap on the cheek, "Your signs, come on, let us go." So he quickly went down, took some stones or sand, and in the jinn, he came out. When they came out of the cave, five meters away, the cave disappeared. They looked left, there was no cave. He looked, what was it? All diamonds. They said, "Oh God, we could also have taken this diamond." He said, "I am so sorry, I could have taken both pocketful." So is it certainty or uncertainty? So when you go, you have to go more. So, therefore, all this is within us. So then it is said, all are killing each other and eating. There is a sin, but for animals, they do not know what a sin is. Only humans should know, and humans know. So God has created one as a human. So jīva jīva bhakṣate, animals. But humans should not kill anyone and not eat that animal. That is called. And so ahiṃsā is for the humans. Hiṃsā is for the animals. And all kinds of creatures try to save their life. So, love them, feed them, but do not eat them. Then our spiritual development will go rapidly upward. Do not think, let us kill a fish. No, you know when a fish comes out of the water, how it is suffering. How is this creature suffering? Now, somebody will take you in the water and push your neck under the water, your mouth. And you will say, "Please let me out." You cannot even speak. You cannot speak. How is that? So this is every jīva. A jīva is a jīva, is a life. And so the developing of this soul, ātmā, and soul with long, long journey, long, long journey, like from the ocean, the water comes and goes in far distance somewhere in the Sahara or in the sand. Like Australia, they are round. Australia is completely surrounded by the ocean. And rain comes there on the coast. Thousands of kilometers, there is no rain. It is very rare. And where that water falls, there, that water thinks, "God must have given punishment. When will we come to our origin? When will this water come again to the ocean?" Similarly, that is all when departing from the cosmic universe, coming, coming, coming to go back again. But hiṁsā is there, no ahiṁsā. So yogic sādhanā and prayer to God, but at the same time, for example, you have a wedding, and in the wedding you give the feast. Now you are going to pray in the church or in the temple or anywhere, so you go to the church and we get a blessing from God. God, Holy Father, Holy Mother, Holy Jesus, etc., etc.,... And ask for the blessing for a happy life, for the weddings, this and that. God, please save us, protect us. But at the same time, you are making a grill. You slaughtered, slaughtered, you slaughtered two, three living beings. They were suffering because you wanted to give them something to eat. Now, will God bless and be sorry for these creatures? God has no time for giving blessings, such a feast if you are giving. So now, when you are so doing, then that is a kind of, now, how the marriage is. Marriage for humans is very, very holy, and you as husband and wife have such karma that you bring a soul into your body as a human. Can you imagine all these elements and karma, all the indriyas, and this, what we are talking about, these cakras and this? You are giving birth to God. The birth of God is that child who knows how it will be. But we fall into the māyā, into the emotion. Anything we are ready to avoid or forget, but that emotion, that emotion you want to catch completely, which will pull you somewhere else. So, it is said in one bhajan, but now time is over, because some people have to sleep. In some countries they say, "Swāmījī, how long will you speak still?" Yeah, in Australia and in some different parts. So, our Viśuddhi Cakra, this Kriyā is what he said. So, the sun, the solar plexus, the energy which is going through our Maṇipūra Cakra, it is entering, ascending to the Viśuddhi Cakra where all the wish is purified and the sunlight comes. The sunlight purifies everything. Now we have color pictures nowadays. We put our picture somewhere, and there is a daytime light; sunlight is on the... In one year, the picture will disappear. Purījī, Purījī... Our memories, our whole head, it will not become like that, but it is very light, expanding our consciousness. So you should all have this book, read it not only once, but two times, three times, four times. And then, whenever you have some difficulty or something, look in this one of the pages, and it is coming. Here he is writing on page 41. He is writing to me, "Parampūjī Gurudev, Swāmī Maheśvarānandajī, sadhyā praṇām." Also, he is writing to me. They are all letters. And then we have given it in English. It reads very nicely. Anyhow, these five days were beautiful, very nice, and you had this time, very powerful, beautiful techniques and kriyā, solar powers. And next time, as Mahāprabhujī’s, Gurujī’s divine blessings will be, we will come. Hari Om, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Dev Purīś Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānanjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Alakh Purīś Mahādeva Kī Jai, Hari Om.
