We have our venerable sādhus and Swāmīs from the Ālagpurījī Siddhapit Paramparā. In Slovenia, we have two sannyāsīs: Swāmī Yogeshpurī, who takes care of our Omāśrams, and our dear Sādhvī Sāvitrī. They are all our sannyāsīs from different countries, leading the teaching of yoga and life, with Ālak Purījī as the Pīṭha. We have sannyāsīs in every country, though we are still missing some. So, who wants to become a sannyāsī? I am ready to give sannyāsa dīkṣā, but it involves nearly a ten-year test to see if you can follow the rules and regulations of sannyāsa life. It is not easy. Some elderly people ask if they can become sannyāsīs, but that can be a burden as they may have no one to help them in many situations. Therefore, do not try to run away from your life toward a monastery or an ashram. You have many karmas. You have made so many karmas in life, and now you wish to take the orange cloth. It will not solve your purpose. Whether you are young—20, 30, 40, or 50 years old—it is also not easy. There are certain rules. To become a sannyāsī, a swāmī, a yogī, is not easy. We have had many sannyāsīs, and many have left. They felt... So if you wish to become a sannyāsī, you must go through certain rules. Māyā is also beautiful. Slovenian girls, women, they are also māyā—but I mean not that Māyā which is a name. Māyā is a temptation; it is very difficult to come out of māyā. You may do many, many... Sādhanā is very hard as it is, but sooner or later māyā will catch you. To come out of that—what is that māyā? Temptation. And when you come out of the temptation, you become a sannyāsī. You want to become a sannyāsī. You want to become a yogī. You would like to sit on the chair with the orange dress and get Mahārāj to help say, "I am." But what is vṛtti inside? Vṛtti. You know what is a vṛtti? Yes. This vṛtti, vṛtti means your thoughts, mind, and the mind is constantly moving. The mind is like a reflection in a mirror, and you cannot catch that. But that mirror is showing you that you are. So the inner mirror—that is difficult. Often we have to be above that. Māyā. What is the Māyā? That is a Māyā which will catch you and put you in a case, like a tiger is put into a cage. It is said, "A tiger is caught in the case." The tiger is caught in the case. The tiger is so powerful. It has strength. But caught in the prison, iron bars will not let you go out. Similarly, our strength, our saṅkalpa, our vairāgya, everything—but we are caught by that māyā. And that māyā is very tricky, very tricky. And māyā will catch you in that way which you like. It is like you give seeds to a chicken. You are throwing something, and the chicken is coming into the cage. Similarly, the sweetness of that—then you cannot become that which you want to be. One saint made this bhajan. I realized that the very tricky thing is the māyā. The three guṇas. You know, the three guṇas: Sattva, Tamas, and Rajas guṇa. You know that? Who has at least often heard, raise your hand up. Very good. Sattva Guṇa, which is very clean and pure. But still, you have to go above this Sattva Guṇa. Tamas guṇa, the laziness. Laziness. And which guṇa? Rajas guṇa. Yes, a beautiful snake. A cobra, sleeping, very peaceful. But if you touch it with a little seed, like a seed of an apple, and you throw it on him, within no time the cobra will come: "Who is there?" Poison, poison. That is the tāmas guṇa: anger, hate, jealousy, greed, spite, etc. Poison. So that scent, he said, three guṇas, these are the three guṇas. And all three guṇas have a very sweetness. Yes, as long as you like someone, you are very kind, very everything. And when you have enough, then you are that cobra. So the three guṇas fast. What is the fast? Hanging. So these three guṇas, Vivek Purī, be alert. Yes, don't think like that. It's very clear. Yes, to everybody, tell them, be like that. You too, girl. So this Māyā has a rope in her hand and is trying to chase you to get a chance; that is called a trap. You put it in a forest to catch an animal. They step on it, and it's caught. That is māyā. Māyā mahā thagni, a great cheater. A great cheater, it will not give you, it will not let you free—not only in this world but after death also. After death, when you died, then Māyā is walking behind you. It doesn't let go, you this side and this side again. It will guide you into a terrible situation, māyā mātagni. Sometimes, māyā enters into the holy water, like the holy Gaṅgā, holy Yamunā, holy Dravo. All these rivers, pure, pure water. The Adriatic coast, so beautiful to swim, but there is a māyā inside. You never know when it can catch you down. And that Māyā becomes a priest, a pujārī in the temple, and through that, she catches that priest. She becomes the queen of the king. Similarly, in good things, temptation. Therefore, yesterday we said, because the subject: what is the precious, what is the precious in life? And this precious of life—I want to have a ring, a second ring, this, that cloth, this money. Money is the māyā. So, I want to eat good things, and one day the mother doesn't cook good, then Raja's guṇa comes. Always Māyā is in everything, everything, everything. Wherever you put your feet, it is the Māyā. You go to the Himālaya, in the cave. That cave becomes a māyā for that, collecting, collecting, collecting. So for the yogī also, māyā. So you run away to the Himalaya, but she is coming behind you like a shadow of your body. You cannot run away from your shadow. Even if you fly in an aeroplane, then you see there is no shadow. Thanks to God, Māyā is not here. You come to the airport, out. The shadow is there. Oh God, Māyā again here. So that Ādi Guru Śaṅkarācārya said that one side is death, and one side is life. So our shadow is death, and that death is very relaxed and happy and has no hurry, because one day is my chance. It means your death. So life and death are walking together. And finally, death said, "I am the winner." Four days in the moonlight night, and again, then the darkness. So these four: childhood, teenager, married, and old. These are the four situations when death is looking and is smiling. "Do you have more strength to do further? Come with me." So it is said, "Who is very happy?" Who have you known? What is it? You are happy, you are content in anything. Yes, if it is good eating or not good eating, good eating or not good eating, do not serve it to the Master, otherwise the Master will be in Tamo-guṇa. So the Master also has Tamo-guṇa. So don't awake the Master's guṇas also. Therefore, there is only one way to come out. There was one helicopter. And in the helicopter were four people. And they landed in the wild forest of Africa, where there are a bunch of lions. Somewhere, tigers, and they want to shoot them, but they landed and got out of the helicopter. Lions were so angry, and they ran and attacked to get them. It was about 50 meters distance. People jumped in the helicopter and came up. Lions and tigers are looking. But the helicopter lifted you up. Similarly, our helicopter is our spiritual sādhanā. We will come to the Brahma Loka. We will not die. We will be immortal. Then this Māyā will look to you and give up. And at that time, the lions will walk like this, gone. It is said, "If you want to become immortal, then eat that kind of sweet." That sweetness is that which makes us immortal. And what kind of sweetness? Sweet words, good words, divine words. Whatever you speak from your mouth comes: the pure white, the light, the energy, and the sweetness. Do not use harsh words, even in your dreams. And sour, you know, the lemon? Lemon, very sour. And I think, not only me, many of you, from the name of the lemon, you have your mouth full of saliva, yes? So that lemon, one drop of the lemon water juice, can spoil your ten liters of milk. Or the more this sourness, and so such sour words you speak, it will spoil your milk—that milk, the mother's milk, gave you birth, gave you good life, etc. So, then you can become a saint. Otherwise, yes, color is not important. In Līlā Amṛt, you read definitely one of the disciples of Mahāprabhujī, Maṅgīlāljī. So when he met Mahāprabhujī, he said, "Mahāprabhujī, please give me sannyāsa dīkṣā." Mahāprabhujī said, "I gave you already." "But I want." Mahāprabhujī said, "I colored your heart already." You need not to color your dress, so if you can color your heart with that love, that Guru Bhakti, the Guru Vākyas, Guru Seva, etc., you are the saint, that's it. So it is said, "Who have no desires is ever and ever happy, ever and ever have a good life." But we have to kill that ego, that's it. So many of you... I would like you to become good sannyāsīs, and I will be very happy, but then don't change again. If, when you become a sannyāsī, you again go into the other part, the māyā, you give up your promise to the Master. Then you are neither here nor there. That's it. So it's very important to purify all our qualities. All qualities. That's very important. So, all the times we are longing for that divine nectar, divine love. Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī made a beautiful bhajan. And this bhajan, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī made the bhajan when Mahāprabhujī was gone. But physically, he was gone. Mahāprabhujī was 24 hours with Mahāprabhu, Holy Gurujī. Like how when a mother has a child, it doesn't matter, human or animal, always the mother is looking after the child. The father may sleep deep, but she does not. Even the cow, even the dog, even the cat, even the birds, every mother is a mother. Similarly, Holy Gurujī said, "Every second Mahāprabhujī is under. He gives me protection over my head." But still, Gurujī said, "Please, can you fill my bowl with that nectar, the love? I am standing in front of thy doorstep. And my bowl is empty, I am the beggar on your door. O my Gurudev Mahāprabhujī, O my Lord, when will you fill my pot with the nectar, the love? How many saints drank this milk of the love, of that nectar of immortality? Like Mīrābāī, Sūrdās, Kabīrdās, and many, many saints. O Lord, will you one day pour your love, the nectar, into my pot, my heart?" So when they sing now, bhajan, I know you can sing better than them. These people who are sitting there and singing, all with instruments, but you know that you are singing better than them. Therefore, don't follow them. Let them sing, and then you show your talent after them. So, let them sing first. They will sing, then the second time they will sing again, and you sing with them, yes. God bless you.

So we have to learn singing. Including the singers, because I want to know how they are singing. That's why I pushed you down, but don't do it. Hurry, hurry, sing slowly. Good voice, clear everything. This is also sādhanā; it's a different... It's a difference, my dears. Okay, next time, so who is ready to become sannyāsīs? So make a decision, and then I will give you some training. Okay? So, santoshi narsadha sukhi. So, who is happy? What is the most precious and happiest in life? That you have no longing, no desire. What will come, will come. If it will go, it will go. If this train is gone, the next train will come. If no next train comes, I will hike it. If there are no cars coming, maybe some donkey will appear. And if the donkeys will say no, then God gave us two legs. Don't give up. Slowly, slowly,... this human life is very precious, and we don't know what will be in the next life, in which form. Must not be that a human will again be born as a human. The result will come at the end of life. It doesn't matter who or me. Dharma Rāja, the God of justice, who has everything on his record. And that's our destiny, and destiny is from the past. And that is what has happened in the past, the Dharmarāja, the justice of the truth. And automatically, it will guide your soul in that direction. Many, many lives we have experienced on this earth. Finally, we came to the center of Gurudev. And Gurudev means not this physical body only, but what is inside that. What is in this basket? And what is in this basket? There is a difference. The baskets are the same. Here is a cobra. Oh, here is nectar. So, that is that. The Guru principle, it means it is that principle, that knowledge, that light that will lead us, not these bones and not this flesh. This body will remain here, but it will go out. That Guru will go out of this body, like a mother. She gets pregnant and her womb. Growing the baby, and it will come again. Similarly, you have that pure knowledge. This, that, that,... then we become guru. So we are all disciples. We are concentrating on our spiritual line on the day when you are still in the physical body. And you said, "I am the master, I am the guru." Now you lost that guru principle. So bade badāī nahīṁ kare, badā ne bole bol, rāhīmāṁ hīrā kavāke, lak hamāro bol. Bade badai nah kare, the great one never said, "I am the greatest one." Bada ne bole bol, one does not prize his glory. Rahim and Hira, they point, his name was Rahim. Rahim and Hira, the diamonds never said, "I am a diamond, and my price is so much," but the dweller knows what is a piece of glass, or a crystal, or a diamond. Only that one knows who knows what is a diamond. But the diamond will not tell you, "Oh, don't take this, this is a crystal, I am a diamond." Then you are not even the crystal, that's it. So we have to purify inside. So, Gurudev, śaraṇa, not so quickly, Gurudev. You see, when we just say this melody, our heart is waking up. We are all singers, but in the opera on the stage, that singer sings. A thousand people are going to listen to that singer, no? But how long did he practice, he or she? Because the sound, that sound, That's it. That's a training, so we should sing with Vairāgya. That's it. So, wish you all the best. And what Gandhijī said, Renounce and enjoy. Satya Sanātana Rāvaṇa Śānti Śānti.
