Part 1: The Precious Human Life and the Unseen Journey of the Soul There is a beautiful bhajan by our beloved Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī, where he describes this body and what is within it. He describes the body as a bungalow. I think on the Adriatic coast now, it is very hard to get a bungalow; so many people are there. Similarly, there are many, many uncountable souls in this space, in different lokas, in the mother’s body, some in eggs, and some are in the school. And some are very old and preparing for a new body. It is said, Gurujī said, our Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī: "All my brothers, sādhus"—meaning practitioners, aspirants—"Ajyabhrathamara, the wonderful coach of my body." Wonderful. When we say it is wonderful, wonderful means indescribable. Jīva, the soul, is the same; it doesn’t matter. Where this soul is, in a little ant or in a big elephant, the size of the soul is the same. How? There is a big fire, a big coal chimney, and there is one, the Australian, they said, sand fly. These sand flies are not visible to our eyes, but they bite you and you feel it. And as much as you are itching, it is making more and more feeling. That also has the soul. Now, how? There is a big fire, and there is a small mystic fire that can also burn the whole forest. Chol, Jīvā is Jīvā. In many of your European countries, life you call also Jīva. Jīvot. Jīvot. But that Jīva is involved in certain actions. And according to that, that jīva will enter that kind of body where there will be ignorance, suffering, etc. You know, recently there was, you saw on the web, on Facebook, how they are burning the mouths of these dogs and things like that, the life of dogs. He is in the lap of the president’s wife. Her husband, the president, has no time to be on her lap, and she doesn’t mind. But she wants to have a dog in her life. So this dog, which is in the lap of the president’s wife, or a little child, and that is not a dog. Dog is a dog. But which kind of soul has come in that one? And that, we don’t know. There are 8.4 million different creatures. And we don’t know which creature, what kind of karma it did. Jīv jīv bhakṣate. Today, life eats life, but humans are above that. But if the human begins to backbite—backbite means talking badly about someone behind their back—in front of you is a smile to your boss. The boss calls the secretary, and she is coming. And she said, "Yes, sir, please type this letter. What subject?" This and this. "Yes, sir. Igen, Uram. And please order some coffee." "Yes, sir. Igen, Uram. And buy some fruits." "Yes, sir. Yes, man. Okay?" Yes. And then she goes to her room. "Stupid man. What an idiot? Bring me fruit, bring me this, bring me that. One hour more, then I just go. Crazy man." So this is a backbite. In the front, you are happy. "Yes, sir. Yes." Maybe there are also, "Yes, Guru Dev." But then, what are you talking about? So, if you are talking badly about your husband, your wife, your neighbors, or other countries, etc., that will come to you. What you spoke, bad things? Then it is said, "Hold your tongue." No? We call it, "Hold your tongue." In some countries, I will pull your tongue and cut it. Every different country has different words to speak. So when you have too much negative energy, then you cannot digest. We can digest, relax, chant mantra, pray, and look to the tree. We can digest, we can purify all negative thinking. But no, you think that I will destroy this person. Brother and sister, the brother wants to take all the property, and the sister wants to take all the properties after the parents. So they are fighting, then they go to the lawyers. So it means most of the property goes to the lawyer. And it takes about 10 to 30 years, or 40 years. You die fighting with your brother or sister. And your children will fight further. And the lawyers, they said, slowly, slowly, and both lawyers are friends. So, karma. So, who knows? This dog was burned, his mouth. Whose soul was in that dog’s body? And who was that dog? Who was on the lap of the president of that country? And that not only the wife of the president is in security, but the dog also has the best security. So we don’t know where that soul went. And we don’t know; we cannot bring that soul back to us again. Therefore, it is said, do it yourself. Do it yourself. Don’t depend on anyone. So do it yourself. Self means to do good karmas. Never destroy anyone mentally. Hard words. Even do not give bad words to your dog. A bad dog does not feel that. But the soul in the dog is that—wait, let me come out of this body. Then what I will show you is this. So, my dear, we don’t know. The karma, even God can forgive you. But karma cannot. Two things: time will not wait for us, and karma will not forgive us. Only we have to give back something. What does "give back" mean? That for these karmas to purify, we have to do the tapasyā. Now, we have to feed the birds, we have to feed some other animals, we have to give water to the plants, etc. Be good to other people. Who are you, or who am I, that I can judge you? If you are judging, do you know? That’s why, you know, sometimes in the court, the judge has to give judgment. But sometimes they are sweating. Others say like this, and others say like this, and... Again, they are checking, and they say, "Oh my God, they come at home, and the wife is so, ’Why you come late? And this is in your car? Why are you stupid?’ and this..." The brain of the judge is like a burning coal. So don’t think and say the judges are not working well. They are afraid, not because of the people, but because of their own karma. They don’t want to do bad to anyone, so how can you judge someone? And that is how the jīvā, the soul, is one. It splits us all. I have here lavendula. It’s just a little bit. But now the smell is in the whole hall. And said, "What is the smell? Lavendula. Where is that? I don’t know." But in this hall, there is a lavender. Similarly, your energy, your soul, your thoughts, spread them throughout the whole universe. We can’t hide ourselves. Therefore, we are—I don’t know which good karma we had—or how God was merciful to us. We are thankful that God, or our father, or our mother, or God, gave us human life. Do you know the value of human life? We can’t buy this. You cannot buy the human body again. You can say, "God, I give you billions and millions of money. I give you. Give me my body again, new, young." So we can’t buy money, buy our body, and we can’t rewind our body back. It is only by chance. What I told you once, one lady was saying, "You have yoga." Use it or lose it, so you have this beautiful yoga in daily life. Use it, or with your criticism, lose it. Finished. Next, where I will see you next time, I was walking near a lake, and when the fish said, I said, "Oh, I know you are here." So we don’t know; we go to fish, and another one comes and puts a hook in your mouth and pulls it out. And this fish said, "Guruji, Guruji, now," I said, "It’s not in my hand." Because if I tell this man, he will not give you up. And all of your throat is destroyed. Doesn’t matter, but the pain is not. Doesn’t matter. That is, the main thing is the pain. And pain is what we call the punishment. Thanks to God. Whether you believe or not, I believe. If you believe, and Gurujī used to say, next to God is the doctor. The doctor will give an injection, and will you have pain? No, God, doctor, thank you. My doctor cannot heal you. But this medicine, which doctors have made, this medicine, the painkillers, it will kill many things, others in the body also. But in the present, you have no more pain. That is like a liberation. So, it doesn’t matter how doctors are doing; some people say doctors are like butchers, but they are not. Every doctor, 99.9%, wants to heal your illness and make your pain less. And so is our Guru Dev or a spiritual person. With those mantras, with those words, those satsaṅgs, we kill all our karmic sufferings. And it can come back until the last minute, the last second. When the soul goes out and you open your mouth, then God said, "Now you are in mokṣa, Hari Om." But as long as you are in the body, you may do one karma again. So you cannot come to that mokṣa. That’s it. So as long as you are in the body, enjoy your body. Live a very beautiful life. Eat good, pure, sāttvic food. Be kind to all creatures, loving to all humans. Loving means not that you hug now. I go to the web in a sombathay, and I love everyone. And someone is coming, I say, "I love you." So love means not that you must go and hug. We send them our blessings, our humble thoughts, etc. So karma is not easy to get rid of. And janama janama is rotating. Janama means life born again. One life to another life, one life to another life. Karma said, "I have time." I don’t count days, months, years, or what we call the yugas. Karma has a peaceful time. The lawyer will just take money from you, and you have a time. That means, okay, in two months you will have the bail. But in two months he has to go to Tokyo. So he said, "It is postponed. You can’t do anything." And so our karma is relaxed in our body. I will give you your good things, and I will give you your bad things also. In life to life, so there is one bhajan, very nice, and in that bhajan is Kabīrdās’ bhajan, that after death, if I have to be born again, Gurū Dev, let me be with you in your service. Karma, so this human life is given to us to purify all karmas. The bullet in the gun and the word in your mouth are the same. A bullet can kill you, and one word can kill you. That’s it. Therefore, with sweet words, good words, and kind words, there will be no war in the world. We don’t need all these atom bombs and this and that. Why are we fighting? Neighbor to neighbor, they are fighting. It’s very easy to create peace, but this is not peace, this is what you call money. So, it is in my hands, my karma. And in your hands is your karma. That’s it. There was one story. Should I tell you a story? You like the story. It’s very good, no? So there was, in one village, a very spiritual family, and one sādhu came. So, this family, their housewife, she ran and said, "Gurujī, Gurujī, please come in my house." What a luck for us, and he went. She, her mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband, children, the whole joint family. Some people’s families are being destroyed. One child is in Tokyo, another child is in San Francisco, another girl is in Johannesburg, and one child is somewhere in the Himalayas in a cave. And the husband is somewhere in the Middle East, and the wife is in Italy. And he’s joined families, so try to stay in your country. Try to stay for your families, your culture, your friends. That’s very important. That’s called the united families. But nowadays, there’s no education for family love. Nowadays, it’s only education for money love. Go somewhere, get your titles, this, that, work there, get money, this. And maybe the time will come. You have only the right to give birth to the child, that’s all. After the birth, they will tell her, "Hurry home, go." And they will take the child and everything. There are still people that take away the child, officially. Therefore, we should remain with the families. So, in this big family, one sādhu, one saint came, and they asked for satsaṅg. And also, of course, gave a good meal. And all were sitting and listening to satsaṅg, so silent. In English they said, "Be silent." And when, after two hours, the Swāmījī said, "Bless you, I go now." So, he went, and the whole family is still sitting there. And the house boss, grandmother, as long as the grandmother is, even she is half-conscious. But still you will say, "Grandmother, can we do this?" And she will say, "What is that? I don’t know." No, mother, all you give blessings. So we do adore our ancestors. Like in the Pitraloka, the many souls are hanging there, like hanging in a tree, like Batman. Yeah, they are hanging like this. This is the Pitraloka. So this grandmother said, and everybody said, "Yes, grandmother." The children said, "Yes." And what did they say? For two hours, as long as Swāmījī was in our house, it was raining diamonds. The raining of the diamonds means each word of the satsaṅg, each word is like a diamond. So they may say, "How lucky we are, how blessed, how rich we are now! A sādhu saint came, and diamonds were worshipped wall to wall." They had one other person in the house, and that one, what we call the prostitute, she listened. Part 2: The True Sādhu and the Path of Inner Nourishment A sādhu comes, and diamonds rain. I am so sinful, doing bad karmas, I don’t know. Even if I don’t have a single diamond, I will also invite a sādhu so that I may have diamonds too. She went to search for a sādhu. The dress doesn’t make a sādhu. It’s not easy. So, she was walking and going into the forest. There was sitting one sādhu there. And she said, "This is a great sādhu. He has nothing?" Only one dress? Sitting in half-sādhu and half-sun? And doing tapasyā. Because when she was coming, he sat very straight, like this. This must be the great guru. Nāgā Mestre, Nāgā Guru, Śrīmad Praṇām, Mahārājjī, Swāmijī, Gurudev. He Prabhu, My Lord, please hear my word, my prayer, don’t disturb me, get up, go out, this must be a strong, good sādhu. Again and again, she is asking him. He said, "Don’t disturb me. I’m coming from the Himalayas. And I’m going now to the other mountains in Gujarat, a beautiful holy mountain." "Please, just come into my house and have your food." "I don’t go to eat anywhere." "Please, today you have to go to sleep. I am poor, I am lost, I have no one, only you." "What is time? It is nine o’clock in the morning. Okay, eleven thirty I will come, and I will stay only forty-five minutes. I don’t stay in anyone’s house." But Gurujī said, for 45 minutes, even half an hour is enough, come please. So she made good food, and he came, and she is serving the food. And he is eating, and she is looking up. And again, looking up, he said, "What happened?" "Nothing, please eat." "Is that something? Is something wrong?" "No, no, Gurū Dev, you came here, nothing will be wrong. Eat, please eat." And again, he said, "What’s happening?" "Guru Dev, yesterday in this my neighbor’s house, even a beggar sādhu came. And as long as he was in this house, the diamonds were raining, and you are such great tapas yogīs. And already it’s 35 minutes, and nothing is coming." He said, "Oh yes, let me eat." And she’s sitting. "Gurudev, when will the diamonds fall?" After that, he said, "Those bhaktas and those sādhus are different. I know who you are, and I am just a player. In your karma and in my karma, no diamonds will fall. If I stay longer in your room, it will not come, the diamonds, but the stones will come. Bye-bye. I was hungry for two days. That was a good meal. I know you very well." And so, making a dress or something does not make you a sannyāsī, a sādhu, or a guru or something. You have to have tapasyā. You can all be sādhus. You are. With a cloth knot, but with those inner qualities. And that is what we should come to, we should practice. But first it is said, Pellasuk Nirogikaya, the first happiness, the first joy, is good health. And for good health, we have to do, first we have to change our way of eating. It is which are food, what we call the three qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. So, which qualities do we have? How does food come to us? How must we eat? How must we digest? Etc., etc. And there are these five different kinds of food. The air, the space, the water, the earth. All this is nourishment. From that, our body is surviving. That’s first, and that’s what we call Āyurveda. Āyu means life. That is the expense of life. If you are living 200 years, that is your life. So that’s called Āyu, Āyuṣ. It means a healthy and happy body. Ayurveda has no medicine. Do not think that Ayurveda has medicine and you will be healthy. There is no injection. But all that you will get from Ayurveda, even in a capsule, is a diet. That is a nourishment, so Āyurveda will give you essence from nature. And it will slowly, slowly, slowly develop in your body. But don’t say allopathic medicine is not good. That is very wrong. We need spot medicine. And Ayurveda cannot do anything for us on the spot. You know what "spot" means? Who knows? Hands up. Okay, very good. "Spot" means you have had an accident, and you are broken, with many bones and pain. Now, Āyurveda will come. It will not help so much, but an allopathic doctor will come and give an injection. And then, even he will put his hand like this and like that, no pain, and bring him to the hospital. That is spot medicine, immediately. Or you take Āyurveda, but you have to suffer. And you will die on the spot, because you are in Āyurveda medicine. Because of the pain and this and that, so my dear, one hand and the second hand, Ayurveda, allopathic, thanks to God that this science has developed, and allopathic is the imitation of Ayurveda. Any kind of medicine you get from the allopathic, it has a name, what you call the language, Latin. And Ayurveda, Sanskrit. But when you compare, both are the same. So, that is also coming from Āyurveda, but it is manipulated in different things. So, better to eat the normal, not manipulated. But when urgent, we shall take the allopathic medicine. That’s it. When you don’t get a proper guru, then at least you should not, how do you say, criticize; at least you can sing any bhajan. Sing the bhajan or some mantras. Or some kīrtans. Have something; it will hold you. And you will come there. Understand? The diamonds of wisdom, every word from your mouth, sweet words, you say, "My dear, my darling," then others will say, "Yes." But don’t tell your wife when she’s angry, and don’t say, "My dear darling, stupid, get out of my kitchen." So, you must know the temperament and situation, so you know where and what we should do. You know, you know very well, the man is, man is a man, it doesn’t matter, please, let me for one minute, let me, the man is the best, yes, so, the man is the brain, deciding, the wife is not, the wife has no work, but the wife is the neck. Man has nothing, no power with the neck. So, man decides, but wife will say yes or no. The brain, the whole brain, is in the hand of the wife. Yes, so if she said, if she does not move at all, why, if his dog falls in the cold water? So both have to come, that’s why Iḍā and Piṅgalā, intellect and the heart, together, we have to come. And so in this body, God has made that, but Holy Gurujī said, "Sadābhāī, Hajābrata Hamārā, Bēṭhā Parambara. O Sadābhāī, Hajābrata Hamārā. O my brother Sādhus, my bungalow, my coach is so wonderful, in which I sat many, many times, very comfortable, and then there are many, many minds and Buddhis." And vivekās and everything describing inside. So similarly, in our body, there are different energies. So there are 72,000 nerves in the body. There are 72,000 nerves in our human body. Very fine, from millimeter to second, different functions are changing. According to yogic anatomy, there are 72,000 nerves, and from there, four are most important: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Balancing and protecting the Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā... Sushumna is protected and kept in balance by Vajranāḍī, and that Vajranāḍī means, in the whole body, immunity. So Sushumna also can become... If there is no power in the Vajranāḍī, and therefore Vajranāḍī, and Vajranāḍī is also known... As Bank Nāla, so Nāla means a pipe. Bank Nāla, this is a Sanskrit word, we can look one day. But still, Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā will not make you that one. But you have to enter into the bank vault. Then you will find, you will search Banknall. And from this banknall, in this modern system, what they made they call the one word I will tell you, it will come in my mind, and there can be searched anywhere, everything. And similarly, like in the computer, that is also developed from that part, that banknall. All the systems, and so from this, again we have to come, if we understand the science of yoga and yogic anatomy, that is indescribable. What our modern science has discovered is only 15%. 85% still, we humans have not discovered that. But that yogī can do it. And that one can come from what we call yogas and yogas, see the yogīs are still there. So, therefore, we will have this one Kriya, and everyone should practice it. So this is from the navel, the lower energies and upper energies. And from this Prāṇa Apāna, from Maṇipūra, immediately comes the heart. And what is the name of the chakra in the heart? Anahata. And what does the Anahata mean? In the Austrian dialect, they say Anāhata. The Ana, one. I know, but anāhat means limitless. No boundary. No limitations. That’s called anāhat. And what is anāhat? It is a sound. And what is a sound? Endless. My so many lectures which you have are all in this space. In these 57 years, my yoga work is in the universe. Similarly, you are also vibration there. One can, one point you touch this, and the whole Maheśvarānanda’s vibration, talk and lock and balk and gong and ding-dong, dag-ding-ding-dag-dag, da-dag-ding-ding-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig. The nāda is the supreme, the parā means endless and that is in the heart, that’s called anāhat, so nāda rūpa, the nāda is in the navel, rūpa means form, so the manifesting is coming from here but manifesting in the heart, Banknāl. Then from this comes the sound forming, and that is called the vocal cord. From the navel to the anāhat to viśuddhi. It goes to Amṛta Bindu and Sahasrāra Chakra. From that, it comes back to these three nāḍīs: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā through the Ājñā Chakra. There it opens, then the space. From there you dive in, and we come again to the Maṇipūra Chakra. Of the Aum and Rām, Aum is everything, but within that is that mantra, the bīja mantra of the Maṇipūra is Rām, and so, like this, you listen. Again, you come to there, from where you began. Again, we are Rām. Ismét. Om Rām, Om Rām,... Om. It will take, we have more techniques in it. So actually, the Aum is in Sahasrāra, and Rām is in Maṇipūra. Read the human powers in humans, and read all petals. Study very exactly. In the fifty-two letters of the alphabet, Devanāgarī, these are our vibrations in the human body. If we concentrate and give our attention to all these chakras, that is the awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī. When the kuṇḍalinī awakes, there is no feeling, no vibration. There is no cobra coming up. Don’t worry. But of course, if you want to have a cobra, in Jadān Āśram we have many. So you can rent it one. So, this is inner, inner vibration, and that’s how, then it is said that it doesn’t matter if you become a sannyāsī or not a sannyāsī, you are inside, like read in Līlā Amṛt, Mahāprabhujī’s, when Maṅgīlālji came to Mahāprabhujī, and Maṅgīlālji said, "Please make me a sādhu." So he said, "I did it, but my cloth," he said, "do you want to have a color of the cloth or color of your heart?" He said, "The heart." So Mahāprabhujī said, "I already colored your heart. You need not color the cloth." And you know, he was a Jīvanmukta. It’s not easy to get a Jīvanmukta. And when Maṅgīlāl jī got samādhi, Mangilālji entered samādhi, he died, and they put him in his samādhi, in his grave. At the same time, he appears in Balagoda Ashram, and the people were sitting in the ashram, and they all stand up and said, "Mangilalji, you are here. We got a telegram just a few hours ago that you went into samādhi." He said, "Oh, there are many samādhis," and he disappeared. It was not a hallucination. All were sitting and seeing Him exactly in that way, coming, walking, this and that. But before they could touch His feet, He disappeared again. Jīvanmukta. It’s not easy. The one Jīvanmukta was the father of Sītā, from Rāma, Janaka Videhi, King Janaka. Videhi means he was liberated with his body, that’s called Jīvanmukta. So let us work so that we all become Jīvanmukta and Hari Om. But there is one word, very nice. "Bukkhi bhajana ho Gopāla," one says to Kṛṣṇa, "O Gopāla! O Kṛṣṇa! With an empty stomach, I cannot chant your mantra. I give your mantra mālā back. Bukke bhajana Gopāla ye terī mālā." So, we have enough time for coming to lunch. Wish you a very good lunch. And this kriyā, we will continue, and so we will have one bhajan, something, one bhajan. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam... Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam Maṅgalālajī Bhajan, O Gurudev, remove all my worries. I seek shelter in Thee. Okay, Harjo.
