We have to solve the problems

The guru removes darkness with light, and the soul journeys through attachments to liberation.

The first gurus are mother and father, imparting the knowledge of being human. Then friends teach lessons aligned or not. The soul, pure in the womb, slowly encounters worldly toys. A child clings to toys, crying if they are taken. In teenage years, the search for a partner begins, but modern attachments often lead to broken toys and damaged souls. Man and woman are two wings; separation cuts the wings, leaving the soul wounded. Later, the last toy becomes hope, God, spirituality. With a true master, one can rise on the divine path, but falling cuts the wing again. When the wing is missing, death approaches like a cat. The master shapes the disciple like iron in fire, hammering to make a beautiful instrument, never destroying. The master who creates a statue then bows, seeing the divine. External troubles swallowed into the body attack weak organs, causing suffering. The soul then neither dares to leave nor wants to stay. A technique of chanting Om from the navel to the crown, with hollow palms over the ears, vibrates every brain cell, relieving depression and awakening memory.

"That soul is so pure, it has no worldly spots on it. Slowly, slowly, this māyā will begin."

"The master puts it again in the fire and gives the air. Again, it becomes hot. Take the hammer and work."

It is said, "O Gurudevo," master. There are many masters. "Master" is an English word, but in Sanskrit and Hindi, it is called guru. The word "gu" means darkness, ignorance. "Ru" means the light, the wisdom. Now, the entire world is based on the principle of the Guru. Your Guru begins from your life in the womb of the mother. There are different processes. One is the creation, the manifesting of our form. Second, who is protecting and still giving the knowledge already when the embryo is in the process in the body? The first guru, the first guru, is mother and father. The knowledge, the direction, given by our mother and father. First guru. Second guru is your friends, our friends. Now, the kind of friends we have will teach us that lesson. Maybe we will forget, or we will not accept the lessons which our parents gave us. But those other friends, if they are on the right way, if they are spiritual, etc., then they are joining with the education of the parents. The parents’ education means not about the schools and universities, not only this, how to survive, but there is a knowledge of being a human. The soul is happy. How the mother gives joy and happiness, and the father. At that time, that soul knows everything. But still, that brain is not developed to talk, speak, etc. And that time is that ātmā, jīvātmā. Jīvā means the soul. The soul is happy. But that jīva is so pure, it has no worldly spots on it. Slowly, slowly, this māyā will begin. The first toy: you are born in your mother’s lap, your father’s lap, and then the test comes, the toys. For the child, everything is a toy. If the mother takes away the toy, the child will begin to cry, "It’s mine, father, anybody, my everything, my joy, my beauty, everything, my toys." After that, if you want to take away this toy, they will cry; they will be angry. But one day, suddenly, that attachment to the toy is somehow gone, and we search for another toy, which we call the teenage years. Now, this toy: the girl is searching for the boy, and the boy is searching for the girl, and you know how many problems there are nowadays. All the time, it was not that way. It was only that, praying to God, there are many worships and many things that the girl said, "Lord, I should have such a husband who will make me happy and give me a happy family." A happy, a healthy family, and the same thing the boy will say, that one which will be lifelong will be my partner. A partner should not become apart. If it is apart, it is not a partner. But now, in this modern civilization, it is different. So that toy which they are imagining, until you get that one, you will not touch. But now, each toy is made of plastic, broken, thrown away, second, third, fourth, fifth. Well, the toys come. How long? How long? Slowly, slowly, separation comes. If it is emotional, but if it is with knowledge and love, then that soul, that soul, so happy, finally comes into the human body, and it becomes one, like a bird has two wings to fly higher and higher and higher. Similarly, these are the two wings of a man and a woman, the husband and wife. Or, if you are not married, still, you see, lifelong, that is your wings. When one is separated, you get a divorce, you turn to get other toys, then your wings are cut. It does not matter which second wing you are hanging here, but it is not that anymore. That soul, the soul is damaged. The soul says, "What should I do again? My journey, my journey to achieve that, my wings are broken." Well, we are working, we are doing this and that. Now, where is the money? Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam. There was no supermarket, and not that kind of vegetables, and this, which is many, many months, or who knows, somewhere the meat they are keeping, how many years. Long ago, there was a communist regime in the Soviet Union and a country called Czechoslovakia. Good people, good country, the Czech Republic. From the cradle to the grave. Husband and wife, good, they are together, everything. But now, both are saying, "Darling, let us pray to God now." Maybe God will save us. So now this toy is old, getting the second toy, the last toy. And this last toy is hope, God, spirituality. And when that, if you have a yard, that master, and you remain on the one channel, the teaching of the master, then you are going up. Or you again fall down, then you go to the other side. The wing is cut. You try to jump and go down. Getting old, the confidence is gone. Also saying to God, "God, even you cannot help me, my dear Lord." And God said, "Because your one wing is not here anymore, what to do?" Said, yes, now the cat is coming. The final solution, the cat, means the death. Coming close, and this bird wants to fly, but one wing is missing. Try to move one wing a little bit with the two legs moving away, but the cat has very sharp teeth. That’s Mṛtyu, that is Yama. So there is one way to the distraction, that’s called Patan, and second, Uthān. Uthān. Uthān means the development, achievement, everything coming, leading you to your highest divine path everywhere. And Patañjali is changing, and wings are cutting this, and secondly, also now you are completely naked without wings. Can you see how the chicken is running when it has no wings and this and that? Well, there’s one joke. It was someone gave me one nice picture, yes? One cock, a chicken cock, was very egotistical, very nice and big, with nice feathers, and here and everywhere, moving like something, like a god. And now he’s very young, and there’s another, the chicken, and she also comes. And he said, "Can you marry me?" He said, "Yes." "Will you surrender?" He said, "Yes." "Okay." So he married. He was so happy. But after two or three years, he had no feathers on his body. What happened? She took all. That is somehow the situation of some partners here. And when she came, she had nothing. But now, he has nothing, and he’s walking like an ill chicken, and she has so many jewels here, there, everywhere. That’s it. That’s not a partner. That’s not a lover. Love is different from what we think. That’s all. Inside that, the soul is searching again. But it is said, the soul, it says from himself, "It is my mistake. I changed. I was on the path, but I left." So, it is said, fly, fly, oh my dear, fly to heaven. There was once, I don’t see the cinema, I don’t see this, but sometimes there are some good things in the film. There is one film, one made from the seagulls. Maybe you are not on, and many of you know. And it is said, "Go, my dear, go. Fly, my dear, fly. Go." And so our soul has that desire. You are here today. I am here. I can guide you as far as I know the path. But I am sure that if you continue this, we, together, will be in that eternal joy and peace. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... This education is for our stomach. It is for our earning, for our living. And then, your good friends, and then is Satguru Dev, that your Gurudev who should and will and do it, that the way leads you in that direction, though sometimes it is very hard. It’s very hard. Sometimes it is said, there is a piece of iron, and now I want to make a nice instrument. This iron I will put in the fire. And then I put iron on the iron and take the hammer. Iron is very red. As red, it can be molded, twisted. And therefore, though you are very soft now, the hammer comes over. Iron said, "Master, you are cruel. I don’t want to." Slowly, slowly, his ego comes back. It is getting hard. The master puts it again in the fire and gives the air. Again, it becomes hot. Take the hammer and work. So, but the master knows that I will not destroy this. I will make that kind of tool or some instrument or something. Everybody will admire it and would like to buy it to have it for themselves. So, like this, that is the inside, the teachings of the master. Sometimes you think it is very hard, but it is something, making models in the beautiful. They make the beautiful stone, a big stone, a rock, and now the master brings that rock, sits on the rock, and begins to, what? Make the model. Air and with the iron, the master is sitting on that rock like this, and with the shoes, working, and then making a cigarette and putting it on the rock like this. Yes. But on that one day, that rock becomes a beautiful statue of Kṛṣṇa or Rāma or Buddha or Jesus, etc. And that master who made this statue and put it on the altar, the same master who was working, hammering, that master fell down in front of that statue and said, "Kṛṣṇa, forgive me. I am your creator, Kṛṣṇa, but not now. You are my creator." Like this work, how many masters should we have? Our friends, our mother, our father, our teacher, our professor, etc., etc. Through that we went. The soul is happy, content. I am on the right path. I am on the right path. The knowledge, two kinds of knowledge. One is the knowledge of the śāstras, books, whatever we learn in university, etc. Thanks to God that in this age we have so many possibilities, and our intellect has expanded very much. But spirituality is going down. It is better, the brain and heart together, then that is the path to spirituality. So, searching for the master, I am searching for the master. And when you saw the master, just a glimpse, and then, no, he disappeared, then you are searching for that one, for what you need. So, these girls will sing Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. So, where your soul is, I can tell you. Maybe you still don’t understand. But in your heart, your inner self is like swimming in very pure water. Free, free, fluttering on that joy or happiness of thy inner self, of thy soul. Let’s come. Bhagavān Kī Jai. Darśan jaldī denā, O my Lord, be merciful and give me your visions, your darśan, as soon as possible. Our soul is in our body, thanks to God. Yes, it is everywhere in you, and you are the love, and that love is your soul. And that your soul, which is coated round and round by ātmā, ātmā and ātmā, is the mixer of that eternal self. But now in our body, that Ātmā is there. Our soul is in our body. Our soul is the president. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhujīp Karatā. All the joints, all these five kośas of our body and our mind, our joy, our happiness, our desires, everything is within us, and everyone would like to be happy. Sometimes we have problems with our foot soles, and Jīva cares about that too. Sometimes he follows, gives more attention towards our foot soles, the problem there. Similarly, we have these two worlds. One is within ourselves, and we each and every one have different desires. Second is the outer worlds, which also we have that desire, that difference. Sometimes we swallow. We swallow in our body. Someone who speaks badly about us, or someone is angry with us, or backbites, etc. We swallow this. And when we are swallowing this hard situation from the outer world, the inner world, maybe we can somehow make our citizens happy. But from outside, sometimes our atom bombs are already there to destroy us, yes. So we take in our body, we can’t digest, we can’t solve their problem, and we can’t fight against. Maybe anger of your husband, anger of your wife, anger of your children, anger of your dog, anger of your neighbors, etc. Or your boss, your workers, etc. This we take in this body, and one of the organs which is weaker in our body, there the external negative forces are attacking, which we are getting in our body. Avatāra is suffering because we are taking it down into the trunk of the body. It goes as a tension first into the brain. The brain is seeking, coming closer and closer, becoming like a very hard, very hard, the, the, what we call the dao, the dao of the brain. We made the dao very nicely, and with one, two, three days remaining, it stayed outside on the table. It sucks back again and becomes harder and harder, so that we have those problems. Many who have that psychic problem, that is, have constantly headache or loss of memory, many, many things. Or our thyroid gland. Many people have problems with the thyroid gland because of certain issues. It must not be only that at all. There are many different diseases, but mostly it is the thyroid, and mostly women have this. Because it is not only the different hormonal problems of women, but women, they are so taken over by them. They don’t tell. I can’t get any more. They will not fight. They said, "Okay, but everything is there." Someone’s liver, someone’s kidneys, someone’s heart, someone’s pancreas, gallbladders, intestines, joints, muscles, eyes, ears, etc. This body God has given us is very pure. Mother gave it very clean and nice. But how did the external come, and why is this soul suffering? The soul doesn’t dare to go out, and the soul doesn’t desire to stay longer in the body. Where to go? Where to go, my dear? Where to go? So there was one other story I will tell you tomorrow, maybe it’s a little bit long, this story. And so, we have to solve the problems from our brain, again to awaken our brain, awaken our strength. All strength is here. We can say, "Okay, it doesn’t matter what happens, let it happen. Okay, I don’t suffer for that." Okay, you can kill me, no problem, that’s it. How heroic you become, become the hero. Make yourself free. Expand yourself. So, begin to make one technique. Theory is that, but other techniques, and this technique to relax and expand that volume of our brain’s thinking apart, far away. And this we will do now, okay? Yes, sit nicely in yoga postures. Just not very long. I will not torture you today anymore. Yeah, you think that Swamiji will take so long? But you have to sit very straight and very nicely. In yoga postures, first, we were learning how to chant Aum. From the navel begins the light of the sun. Solar plexus, that is the solar plexus. Now, because we know in our body, according to the chakras and kuṇḍalinī, when we come to the navel, we call it the solar plexus here. Now, our scientists, they begin to take the light of the sun, and we made the solar panels. To get the light, get the heat, water, and so on, how we are using the light of the sun. And so, similarly, that sun and this sun have a constant connection. On the day when our soul will say, "Okay, I proceed further," that time the body will dissolve. Then the sun has no connection to this solar plexus. You are a soul. Our soul is like a light, a beautiful flame. Tomorrow we will go in this path, we will go in that. Try to experience or imagine how the light is then going. Okay, so there are three letters generally: A, U, M, or O, M. That’s all. In English we say Om, but in reality there are three words, three alphabets, and so Om, come to the heart, Om, our heart here, Om, Om, A, we learned yesterday, A, A, then double A, A, then U, U, then U, then U... So, making the volume in our, hey listen, listen, the vocal cords and in this part of our hearing and our mouth. Then we close the lips. So this humming sound touches Bindu Chakra and Sahasrāra Chakra. At that time, you will feel that a very wide volume appears in front of you. That is how your tension, your headaches, and your many problems are going to be dissolved. Also, there will be other training in a list of other techniques; there are a few. Spiritual and spiritual health: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health through the science of yoga in daily life. I’m not telling because it’s our system we developed, but sometimes I’m sorry for how many people in the world are teaching different wrong teachings of yoga. They think yoga is only torturing the body like this and like this. Yeah, like I spoke before, the master with the hammer. But people are coming this side. So one man had a problem with his back. And he was going like this and went to the orthopedic doctor. He was going like this. And the orthopedic doctor said, "Lie down and step on it." So it was like this, a home, he came home like that. So that is the position and condition of the people who teach wrong techniques. My dear, A, A, it means double A. But don’t make a cut; it should go smoothly, sound, like how Susi was singing. Or our opera singer, you know, how their voice is. They don’t make them like this anymore. It goes constantly, constantly. It’s a training. And that, with music and singing, they have to work with the solar plexus and abdomen. So similarly, A, sorry, A, A, U, M, M, A, A, U, M, but not like this where I am cutting, so, A, got it? Yes. Second, your palms, make the hollow of the palm like this, and just bring them close to your ears, so you don’t hear from outside. Now you will hear like you are under the water, yes? When you dive deep and you listen to the sound of the ocean. Similarly, we are creating that kind of vacuum so that it will transfer the energy, the resonance, into the brain. It means it will awake, it will vibrate each and every cell of the brain, the circulation of every nerve it is. It is one of the best treatments for depression. Those who have depression, give this technique. Second, the memory. How to awaken our memory again through this technique. And there are many others. We will continue. It is already time. The time is gone. People are waiting to go to sleep. So, like this, close your eyes. Keep your hands like this, and 11 times. You will chant Oṃ 11 times. Keep your hands like this. If you cannot hold like that, you can do like this. Okay? But don’t make a vacuum. Somewhere the sound goes out.
