Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Devādhī Dev, Deveśvar Mahādev kī, Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān kī, Alak Purījī Mahādev kī. Good morning. I think the Day of the Bee is very soon. You will recall that on the occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā and my birthday at the Strelky Ashram in the Czech Republic, we announced that we would protect the bees, to save them. Unfortunately, the time has come, and truly, the bees are disappearing. This year, around Europe and also in many other countries like India, in some places 70% of the bees have vanished. For example, in Strelka we have hundreds of fruit trees. They were blossoming, but there was no beautiful Bramrī Prāṇāyām sound. When you came close to the almond tree, the cherry tree, the apple tree, there was no beautiful sound. The major remedy in naturopathy or Āyurveda is honey. And we know how valuable our bees’ honey is. It should not happen that in the future, people will have only on paper a record of how bees once were. And this is the act of humans. In this way, whatever research all these scientists are doing, it is not good. We should multiply, we should foster good health in our nature. In this manipulation with seeds and fruits, etc., they cannot be grown again. You have to buy the seeds. They can grow only once. And the result of this is that humans cannot have many children now—only one or two. And if a woman gets pregnant, the child is maybe 80% disabled. It is a world organization, but still, we all should do something. Now you have in your hands a beautiful instrument. We call it an iPhone or something like this. Many of you have Facebook, social media, etc. Every one of us, every day, writes more of this distraction of human life, and others do too. Do not think that we cannot do anything. At least we will come in the stories, in history. Because there were those people who were shouting, writing, suggesting, and talking, saying we should not destroy this earth. So, what is the greatest happiness for us, the subject we have this weekend? We have no happiness anymore due to humans’ acts, by those so-called scientists. Scientists should turn back, come to yoga, practice, meditate, practice mantras, and think of our body, mind, and soul. Ban such education centers which are making experiments on how to destroy our nature and humans. In every aspect, if I ask you, are you happy? Or, what is happiness for you? We are completely ruined. We do not have family. We do not have a proper partner. We have no education for our children. The children are out of your hands. So what can I tell you? What is happiness in life? So please try. We are hundreds, thousands of people. How many thousands and thousands of people, what percentage practice yoga in their life in Slovenia? And we can, you can bring something, a change in your country in a good way for your people, for your vegetation, for your forest, and for education, etc. Otherwise, humans will be lost, living like a deer somewhere. You will think, "Yes, I had a child, but I do not know where it is." So the happiness in our life is to see our world healthy, peaceful, harmonious, understanding, and full of brotherhood. The world has become a small village, and we have all information: what is in China, in Afghanistan, in Africa, Mexico, America, India, Europe. We know everything, and if anything happens to one human, we feel pain in our heart. So it is said, a very ancient slogan: "The whole world is one family of God." We are all children or generations of the great Ṛṣis. We are the one seed, and that is Svāyambhū. We have to think for ourselves. How many of us are sitting here? I am sure there are many who have jealousy, ego, conflict, and pride. How will we change this situation? What I am telling you today... We shall love and respect that one which you think is a person against you. It is very hard. How will you change? How will we change this humanity, the humans? That’s it. Close your eyes. Please close your eyes, everybody. And in front of you is a blackboard. A blackboard. And write on this blackboard with a white pencil. Please be honest. Be honest if you are. For a while, become human. And write how much jealousy you have. How many people do you hate? How much pride do you have? Selfish anger, cruelties, negative thinking. Please be honest. And if you are not honest, then write also that I am not honest. I give you the time. You are sitting in the university’s area, and the university is not only for Slovakia. It is for the whole universe. So, right, right. And you tell so to God. Today, I brought this, my Lord. I am this. I will tell you one story. Go ahead, writing on the blackboard? If you cannot write on the blackboard, then I put to you one question. When the zebra is born, which was first painted, black or white? Tell me, so did you write the white one or the black one? I will tell you the story. You go ahead writing on your blackboard. Or on the white, you can write black. There was one merchant, and it was lunch time. The merchant had a big shop of fabrics. It was a very hot summer, and the merchant was sitting on his sofa. He was the boss, a rich person. And he had, at the entrance of his building, one water pot. And there was one glass. So one street worker came and he asked the merchant, "Sir, can you give me water? I am very thirsty." The merchant said, "Wait a while. A person will come and give you water." After five minutes, the thirsty man said, "Sir, I am so thirsty, I will die from this. Can you give me the water, please?" So he said, "Wait, some man will come." After a few minutes, the thirsty man said, "Sir, I am dying from thirst." He said, "Yes, a man will come." And the thirsty man said, "Sir, can you become for a while a man?" And so it is that if we say it, someone will do it. Someone will do it. I have no time. Then you have no more place to write on the blackboard. Because the whole blackboard is full of those qualities which tell negativity. And this is that first you have to remove those qualities, and then you will come to know what is the happiness or what is the good life. Many, many yogīs, ṛṣis, they were in the caves, and when someone came and said something, not a good word, that yogī sitting in the cave would be so angry, so angry. So that cave and the university have no difference. If you have not learned to save the world... Our water is polluted, our rivers are polluted. The lake is polluted, and our groundwater is completely polluted with these pesticides. You know how many people have cancer? And the cancer attacks a very fragile organ of your body, not on the muscles. But some organs, which are very important organs, are targeted by those chemical things to destroy the world, humans, and everything. Where there is a will, there is a way, and we will do it. We shall work for protection and to save our world. But you cannot. You cannot. Look to your blackboard now, please. Honestly, what you have written there, read it. That’s a beautiful bhajan that I will tell you about later. The Bhakti Devī from Vienna and Narsingh Purī from Slovenia come and sing this bhajan, which I will tell you after. Please read your blackboard. When you read now this blackboard with white letters, until you delete all this, you will not achieve what you want to achieve in this world. That is why Gandhijī said, which I told you yesterday, "Renounce and enjoy." Renounce and enjoy. Renounce your pride in whatever way you are proud. My teachings, my mission, my aim is to bring this message of our spiritualness. That is only what I can give you. If you can walk on this path, then you can save the world and turn it in another beautiful direction. We are many. I am not one. Very good. Open your eyes, please. That your black belt is not anymore black, it is white. The bhajan was different, which I meant, but also what they were saying was good. I told you, a different bhajan. And your hands, your hands... Your hands, your hands, your hands. Oh merciful one, Now I surrender myself in your hands. My victory, if I am a loser or a winner, is in your hands. If I am to be a winner, it is in your hands. And for us, winner means Mokṣa. And if I fail, it is also in your hands, my Lord. If I live in this world, then let me live like a lotus in the water. So this bhajan is so beautiful. So whenever some negative waves come out, suddenly anger comes out. Anger is the thief which will steal from you everything at the door. Therefore, whenever I come into this world, into this saṁsāra, I am the prisoner of this saṁsāra. But saṁsāra is in your hands. You can liberate me. These are the awakening of the longing to Thee, O my Lord. The difference between you and me is only this: that I am a human and you are the God. And my life is in your hands. This bhajan is so beautiful. So now I surrender all the burden of this life into your hands. O my Lord, I surrender all the burden of this world in your hands. My victory or my loss is now in your hands. With this, we said, "We will save our beautiful bees, the honeybees." You know, sometimes your mother tells your children, "My honey child." And sometimes husband or wife, who said? I do not know who said. "Husband says, no?" My honey. The wife said honey, and the man said beer. Is it different between beer and honey? Yes. So, wherever we go, whatever we read, we should read good books. Good company, good people, loving the animals, touching the trees and loving the trees. So it means we are like a bee that goes to every flower to bring the nectar. And we bring the nectar all from the Holy Scriptures, the satsaṅgs, the good people. Protecting the forest, the water, everything. Morning, when you wake up and the first time you go to the bathroom, you open your water tap and you touch the water. Feel it, how beautiful and gentle feelings. And you take a handful of water and put it on your face. Only there are two: either your mother, when she is breastfeeding and touching the baby’s face, or this beautiful water on your face. There are only these two. So we can create within us that kind of honey. It will always be sweet in the world for everyone. It is said, be like a bee. That bee, even from the poisonous cactus, she will bring the nectar. So some people are like a thorny, poisonous person. But you go to this person, and you will bring only the sweetness, not this bitterness. We have to walk on that path. There are so many thorns on the cactus, and the flower is somewhere under the thorns. How carefully the bee will go through the thorns and get that nectar. And that is that the honey bee is so happy, and the honey does not drink or eat itself. It gives to others. So many babies are fed. That’s it. Do you understand? So, what is the joy of life? What is the beauty of life? What is the happiness of life? To get this, we have to walk there. The next bhajan, in order to reach this, we have to follow this path. Yes. Pradīp Nareyam Madhvan Kī Jai, Sattā Gurudeva Kī Jai. Pahale Sa Cā Sukha Ke Valamila, Thā Cā Sukha Ke Cāla, Gurudeva Ke. You have to drink Paramparā. There is sound, light; it is also a therapy. Sounds are different, which harmonize, awakening in the body certain energy, or the sound which is disturbing. There was one man long ago, and he was very ill. He was in America, and maybe it was cancer. That time, it was not discovered as cancer. So he said, "How to heal myself?" So someone said, "There is one country called India, Bhārat, that time, and there are the sādhus, or the gurus, or the saints." It is said that they, through the blessings or touching, can cure. So he and his wife began the journey to India by ferry. At that time, there were no aeroplanes. They came to India, I do not know where, but that person was completely healed through singing bhajans, kīrtans, prayers, and completely positive thinking. He became very spiritual, he became a believer, and went back to America. Then he made one society or one NGO for healing. So many people were coming. There were many people, a few hundred, or maybe a hundred. I want, I do not know. But they had a charity organization. People used to bring and give money and so forth. This is an ashram. One day, the principal of the school came to that man. His name Gurujī knew very well, I have forgotten. And the principal came and said, "Sir, lunch time is coming in three hours, and we have nothing in our kitchen. No fruits, nothing." That person who came to India learned these mantras and these bhajans and the faith, the trust. So, what he said? What time is the lunch time? Twelve o’clock. So he said, "Ring the bell at twelve. The children and people will come to the dining hall." "But we have nothing. Master Gurudev, I told you, we have nothing, we cannot even make a soup." So he went into his cave, his meditation cave, and said, "Fifteen minutes before twelve, ring the bell. Do not disturb me." Again, he goes there. "Yes, Gurudev said, Swamijī said," but he did not understand. "We have nothing, and we ring the bell?" The quarter before twelve, the lunch bell was rung, and people came, children came. They had their own pots, always. All of them came and sat in the dining room. The principal was nervous. What happens? One big truck comes ten minutes before twelve. We do not know whose truck it was. And it came to that ashram and called the principal. "Sir, I have a great request. We had a big conference with about 500 people. And due to some problems, or we do not know why, the conference was cancelled. But food was prepared, what to do? So someone said, 'Send it to that NGO.' So then, they loaded, they had like a lunch pocket, and brought it here. Please, can you accept this?" The principal said, "Gladly." So from the back side of the kitchen, food was delivered, and everyone got the best food. It was many, many varieties, like today, and yesterday you had here in the kitchen. I got tempted, so I said to Dada, "Do not cook anymore, I will go there." People ate, and still a lot of food remained. The next day, they could eat again. The principal goes to the cave. "Gurujī," he said, "What? Did the children eat enough?" He said, "Can I bring for you?" That’s it. So it is said, man is proposal, God is disposal. Trust in God. And so, this power of the spiritual songs, the beautiful instruments, and positive sāttvic food, it can heal many diseases. But faith, only the faith. If you do not trust, you have doubt, then you are out. Without any permission, you go out. So, bhajan, we can do it, we can do it, make once a week in our centers, ashrams, bhajans. No discussions, no talking, no jealousy, no hate, no hate, okay? And also, have in your instrument that you can always, whenever you have time, listen to this. So, sound and color and environment. Now we shall try to—we do not promise—but we should, and we can. Try to reduce the plastic things. And all your used cloth, your bed sheet, etc., etc., wash nicely. And listen to your bhajans and make some bags. A small bag, bigger bag, bigger bag, bigger bag, bigger bag, small bag. Very good. A strong bag is your gene. Only you have to knit it on the downside and upside, make two hangers. You have one bag. So when you go shopping, please do not use this word: "Can I have a plastic bag?" We should say, "Can I have a cotton bag? A paper bag?" But all we in our tongue, we have, "Can I have a plastic bag?" So this is the first step for us. So, try also not to use chemical things in your kitchen, in your bathroom, in your laundry. There are different kinds of natural washing powders. Neem powder. If you use the real neem powder, just take a little bit and it goes on your body. You will smell like a fresh neem tree. No infections. The skin will be so beautiful. So try to, and you have also many, many things here in your country. Many, many things. Now is the time to collect the many, many herbs. Dry them, powder them, and put it in a glass bottle. One spoon of dry powder in one liter of water, and in the morning, use it for everyone: a liter for you, a liter for you, a liter for you. You wash yourself, take this water, and wash with this. You will have good smells from the herbs. You have so many in Croatia, Slovenia. God has given you such beautiful soil. So let us begin to again bring the environment healthy in nature. So what is the happiness of life? The black bowl must be completely white, and use all used cottons and this and that for our pots for carrying, but sometimes we cannot avoid plastic. Even though that one from Adelaide, the father, what was his name? David. David. We said, we said no to plastic. And the premier of that, of Adelaide, distributed them in all the old cities, the cotton pots, also in Sydney and so on. One day, Father David telephoned me, "Swamijī, I cannot say no to plastic." I said, "Why?" "Because I have an operation in my stomach, and I have a plastic operation. So in my stomach is now plastic." Many parts of the aeroplane are plastic. So there are plastics which can last longer, but these little, little things we should not look at, and not get any kind of pitch-a-pitchy with the aluminum, not in aluminum. Yeah, also not in aluminum. Aluminum is more dangerous than plastic. So please do not wrap anything or this in the aluminum. It is a heavy metal. So let us make one step today, that we will give up all these things which are harmful, and go on writing, writing... I have you cancer? This is because of this. Have you cancer because of this? Is have you post-prostate problems because of this? Have you the female problems because of this? You ate the fish, you ate the chicken, you ate this, you... Yes, fill it in the whole Google. Okay? Revelation for our dear beings. That’s it. Then what shall we do? What should we do? Let us continue with the food. Om Śānti Śānti Ādi Om.
