Part 1: A Heart and a Soul: Remembering Holy Gurujī I wish everybody a very good morning, Hari Om. Swamiji will come a little bit later; he has some duty. Today we celebrate and sing very much on today’s incarnation day of our beloved Holy Gurujī, the beloved, respected Gurudev of our Swamijī. When Swamiji says to speak about Gurujī, I cannot explain how holy Gurujī was and is. When I saw Gurujī with Swamijī together, we say in German, "a heart and a soul." They were one heart and one soul. When they were together, it was like one heart and one soul. Holy Gurujī was all the time doing his mantra because of Swamiji and because of us all. And there is again one thing Swamiji always said: it means the father is making everything. And this was really Gurujī. Everything he did, everything he made, was in order. Holy Gurujī was so much respected and loved by Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī ho. We have also here in Stryky, Holy Gurujī’s room where he was staying. Always, when we go in or see this and remember the presence of Holy Gurujī here, we have his footprints here in the Kāṭhu room, the Kāṭhu room there on the altar. You can go there and touch it. Many of us know Holy Gurujī. I think very few of us did not meet him. I think that very few of us, in reality, did not meet Holy Gurujī. Very few of us, because we are more advanced in age. We were in the beginning. When I met Holy Gurujī—I can speak for myself—I met Gurujī first. I was a little bit afraid of him. This was a little bit, I don’t know now—he was very serious always. And he didn’t come; he appeared. Gurujī, when he came, he appeared. He was such a… like a lion is coming. It was such a personality, such an energy, such a power, like the sun itself. He appeared; he didn’t come. And once Gurujī looked at you and smiled at you, you just melted. Just one day, two days, three days, you are high. There was once when we were in Jadan. There was a crazy situation a long time ago. We were sleeping in a karma yogī house. There was no White House and nothing. We were all sleeping in the karma yogī house. Swamījī had his room there. Many of us were sleeping on the balcony; there was not so much space. Gurujī was outside on his bed under the tent, making his mālā. Gurujī wanted to have a massage. Somebody was going around asking who can massage, who knows massage. He came also to our room, to my ear, and said, "No, I know. I learned massaging. No, I can do it. You are a woman, you cannot go near to Gurujī." And I said, "Why not? Woman or not woman? What is this? I’m not a monster when I’m a woman. If you go to Gurujī, you have to cover your hair and head and everything." I said, "Okay, give me some cloth, I will cover my hair and head." Then I couldn’t speak Hindi. Gurujī is not English, so I covered myself. When Gurujī was in front of this, and Gurujī was… I was standing there, and Gurujī then opened his eyes and, smiling, said, "Massage, massage." And I stood up in front of Gurujī. He looked at me and said, "Massage, massage me, massage." I was lying there, and I pressed Gurujī, not like this, what we learn, massage, but in the way of massage, pressing. And he was lying there, and I was, I think I was sweating, and I had nerve, blood pressure very high. And I was massaging Gurujī, and like some Jesus, he’s doing. And till now, till now I remember Gurujī’s feet—how they feel, how they touch, and how they aren’t. It was very hard for us when Gurujī passed away. I should not be sad or emotional, sorry. It is, let’s see. And then when Gurujī said, "Ah, bas," then I left and I went back to the room, and I was so proud. I was so proud, and I was so, how to say, ah, yeah, high. And they always asked, "How was it? You were there?" And I was lying on the bed like this, and it was beautiful. It was beautiful. Gurujī always, when Swamiji sees something or when he goes shopping, always said, "This is for Gurujī. This would be good for Gurujī." Always, always, Gurujī was first. Gurujī always is first. Now we need not to be sad, actually. Why am I sad? But it was remembering that this is still not above the emotions. I think time cannot let grass grow over, never. And what I know from Swamiji, we miss him very much. Gurujī is one with Mahāprabhujī; this we know. Sure, we are a thousand percent sure that he is one with Mahāprabhujī. But we are behind. Not behind, but we are here. Swamiji misses him very much. We do also. Gurujī passed away in 2003. It’s now 16 years. Today he is in Ganesha, that we should not speak about passing away. But today is the day of His incarnation, so we should not speak about His passing away. Then suddenly everything changed. Like Mahāprabhujī said, the sand is living, but inside he is dead. Like in this bhajan, "Divāna Satguru." He is alive, but inside is not anymore existing. This is not anymore this person which we see; this is one with the divine. And this also Gurujī was, and Swāmījī is also. Maybe we will be also one day like this channel, like this instrument, to give this father, like in the bhajan just now Nārasiṁha was singing: with Ajah, Sakira, Mary from Gurujī, beautiful bhajan. Only Gurujī is singing this bhajan. He was a master in writing bhajans, like Mahāprabhujī. Suddenly he was writing, and he is writing here, "My friends, how happy I am today. My Guru Dev came to the door of my house." And here I remember one story. There was once a devotee of God, and he was searching for God everywhere, everywhere, and everywhere. All around he was going to find God; he wanted to see God. And very, very disappointed, he came home. He came home. And what he saw in front of his door, standing there, was his beloved Iṣṭa Devatā. Standing there, and said, "I am waiting here for you so long. Where have you been?" And then he opened the door, and both went in. So this is our meditation, our sādhanā: when we open the door of our heart wide, "I open my door of my heart, I wait for thee." Once you will come, I will quickly close the door and let you not go anymore. This is what Swamiji always said: when we have once darśan, then everything is done once we have the darśan. And here Gurujī said, "My Satguru Dev came in front of the door of my house." Through his blessings, all sins, all negative karmas are purified. This is once when Gurudev steps in our house, this place is blessed. That’s why so many want that Swamiji comes home. "Swamiji, please come and bless my house. Bless my house, please." And we know the real pilgrim place is there where Gurudev is staying. This is the pilgrim place. We can pilgrim everywhere: to Badrīnāth, to Kedārnāth, to Vārāṇasī, to Nāthdvārā, to Māyāpur, to Badrīnāth, to Kedārnāth, to Dwārakā. But the real pilgrim place is there where Gurudev is. His footprints, where he is present, is the real, bigger place of our Self. And here Gurujī said, "Today my life becomes successful. Today it becomes successful." And I made a very nice āsan for my beloved Gurū Dev. He is sitting like on the throne. He is the king. He is standing above. I can see him with my own eyes. I have his darśan. I can see him through the nectar of his lotus feet. When we make the pūjā, washing of the feet, we make pūjā, and this water we keep. This is the nectar. But Swamiji said this is the holy water. This holy water purifies everything. Swamiji always has it. He got once a little sand from Mahāprabhujī’s where Mahāprabhujī was stepping. Holy Kulchikā. Awesome fact. This he has in a small shrine in Vienna on the altar. Always still, he’s putting sometimes one kwan. But this we should have the value. Some don’t understand, some don’t know, it’s okay. But one understands, this is great, great value. And this is also where Holy Gurujī stepped here in the ashram. I remember very well this Guru Pūrṇimā, when Gurujī was here. I heard his voice, and I saw him walking and sitting here. And all of us were sitting there, so many people, Swāmījī and Gurujī. And also in Vienna, he was in Eniglistrasse this time, and still I have the carpet from the Eniglistrasse. The old carpet was blue, but I still have one piece of this carpet where Gurujī was stepping on it. And the bandage where Gurujī’s foot was hurt when he came back from London, I have these bandages, I kept them. And Hemlata from Vienna, she still has Gurujī’s room and his bed where he was sleeping. And Gurujī, it’s a pūjā, it’s a pūjā room, it’s an altar also here in Vape, where Gurujī was. This house always, when Swāmījī is passing by, he says, "Here Gurujī was staying, and here Gurujī says, ’All I gave him, all my deeds, all the nectar of my deeds.’ I put it to his lotus feet. Everything I offer to my Guru Dev—my body, my thoughts, my mind, my wealth, everything. It is yours, and what I get, it is Prasād. Mahāprasād. He is protecting me." Gurujī once told, we know the story. When Mahāprabhujī sent Gurujī away for giving satsaṅg. Because Gurujī was always with Mahāprabhujī in Kāṭhu, traveling and carrying the books for Mahāprabhujī. And once Mahāprabhujī said, "You go and give satsaṅg." Gurujī was a little sad because he was thinking Mahāprabhujī sent me away. And not to show his thoughts and maybe tears, he went behind the kāṭhu. At that time, it was only a little room, not like we have now, a small one room, the ancient, the original room without windows and without doors, because Mahāprabhujī said, "I don’t need a window, and I don’t need a door, everybody can come." And once the thief came, remember Gurujī said, "The thieves are coming, there’s a thief in the night." Then Mahāprabhujī said, "Shh, silent, don’t disturb him, don’t disturb him. They need something, let them take." So then Mahāprabhujī, always he was giving, giving, doesn’t matter what, he was just giving. And Gurujī was also like this, his heart was so big, Anāhata, endless. And then Gurujī was behind the Kāṭhu and Vṛttis was there, Vṛttis came. But Mahāprabhujī, he knows everything, and Mahāprabhujī went also there and was asking Gurujī Mādhava, "Why are you all sad? Don’t be sad. To whom does the world belong? To you, Guru Dev, and you are living in the world. So to whom do you belong? To you, Gurū Dev. Then why do you make sorrow?" Because Gurujī had svārāj—what he would eat and where he would sleep, what he would talk, and who would be there, how he would travel. "I don’t have anything, because now Mahāprabhujī was always there and taking care." Dear Mahāprabhujī said, "Even you don’t. Get eating on the highest peak of the Kailash mount. I personally will come there and bring you food, so don’t make sorrows. Don’t make sorrows. You are mine, and I am yours." There is a Guru Rā Kailāśa cintāmaṇi karaṇa, cintāmaṇi karaṇa, nirbhaya raho niśaṅka kapi matatāraṇa, tuma nirbhaya. He rakṣakartā Rāmabhu kisi se nahīṁ māraṇa. Saddharāhe ānandalīyā guru śaraṇa... Chintamattakarna Nirvayi Nishankakabhimattadharna, Nirvayi Nishankakabhimattadharna Josumare, Bhāve bhāvām āhi janam nāhi dharanā, yehe ammāra sandeṣa sātyāhi samajanā. Manir Bhairaho Nishankha Kabhi Mata Dharana Chinta Mata Karana Nihir Bhairaho Nishankha Kabhi Mata Dharana Nihir Bhairaho Nishankha Kabhi Mata Dharana. So here Holy Gurujī was writing his experience. What Mahāprabhujī said is that Guru Dev is always protecting you. That’s why, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Him, the Lord is protecting; nothing can harm. Who is repeating the name of Gurudeva, the holy mantra? He himself is with you. Because once God Rāma said, what is higher, the person itself, or his or her name? It is always the name which has a higher value, because the person itself will go and the name remains. We have the story about God Rāma and Hanumanjī when they want to cross the ocean to Śrī Laṅkā. The Rāma said to the bridge that time was built, the bridge between the mainland and Laṅkā. All the apes, the mountain people, the monkeys, all were helping to put the stones in the water to make a big bridge, but all was going down. And they said, "This is impossible to make this there, it’s impossible." And then Hanumanjī had this idea that he was writing the name of God, Rāma, on the stone, because he said wherever the name is written, nothing will go down. And he was writing Rāma on the stone, Rāma, Śrī Rāma, and putting it in the water, and this stone was fluttering. And all the apes and the monkeys and tribes, and in that way they built a bridge, and still this bridge is there, the Rām Setu. And here Gurujī says, "Also, who has the protection of the divine name, the mantra? Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it." Then Guru Dev itself is with you. And so when Holy Gurujī was still in sorrow about sending away Mahāprabhujī, he gave the blessing that Mādhava will always be with you. "I will take care of you wherever you are." And here, Holy Gurujī is singing this bhajan. Everything I give to my Guru Dev—my body, my mind, my wealth—everything is His. He is protecting me. Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation of the Highest Self. Holy Gurujī says, "Today I am singing the glory of my beloved Gurū Dev Śrī Dīpnāre and Mahāprabhujī. It is Ājā Śākyamere." And today we celebrate the incarnation of our beloved Holy Gurujī. And today we are celebrating the incarnation of our beloved Holy Gurujī. Bhagavān Śrīdīp, Bhagavān Mādhāvanāñjī. We had such a beautiful week here, such a beautiful time in the presence of our Guru Dev, if he is with us. If he is there in his room. He is always here. You do the sādhanā. Everybody did his or her duty as much as we can. I think and I believe that everybody from us did whatever was possible, because none of us come here just for fun, so far traveling, so far traveling, so much money, saving the holidays. Organizing everything that we can be here some days, some weeks, some time, because time does not wait. Time does not wait for nobody. I don’t know where this time remains, what is behind us. Where is this time? Suddenly, so many years. And where is this time? Swamiji says there is no time existing. It is not existing. It is like the sand in our hands; it just runs, it’s gone. And like yesterday, we heard the story about one bhakta. He’s praying, "Only bless me with your bhakti, and may there be a next life as a human and as your bhakta." And it’s Gurujī, also Holy Gurujī, he said when Mahāprabhujī passed away, he didn’t want to leave anymore. And then Mahāprabhujī came to him; he had a, how to say, vision. "Mādhava, this is not good, what you are thinking. You have to stay here. You have the duty. Your bhakta-s, take care of them." Like God Rāma gave the duty to Śrī Hanumānjī to stay here and take care of the bhakta-s. This duty also our Swāmījī has, to take care of all of us. And we seniors, we are seniors, gray hair, we take care of the newcomer to help them, protect them, and be sometimes a little bit strict. Because when parents want the children to become great, greater than they themselves, with love they are strict. Swāmījī always says, "Give a slip, but with love." Yeah, but with love. So, always to be too soft is not good. So, we as yoga teachers and parents and trainers, there are some principles, and there are no compromises. It doesn’t matter what it is, either this or this. There is nothing in between. And this is also that we, our bhakta’s, devotees, disciples, there are no compromises. And there are no tricks. Either this or this. If not, then back to the clay mountain, and wait for the next life. Gurujī was very strict. He was so, I don’t know if Swāmījī hears, but I remember times, I don’t want to speak about it, but sometimes Gurujī could be very strict. And, like Swāmījī tells, sometimes the experiences that we had with Gurujī, he came at a young age to Holy Gurujī. After his father passed away, Swamiji, I think he was 13 years old, went to the Nepal ashram. At that time, the ashram was not like we have now. Part 2: The Arrival of the Holy Gurujī and the Wisdom of the Kitchen They had to make fire, prepare, and collect everything, working and going to school. Gurujī said he always used to hear, and Swāmījī was afraid there alone. There were no doors, the village was far away, and there was little sleep. When we remember the first Kumbh Melā, we were in Haridwar when Swāmījī received the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara initiation. It was 2000, I think—no, 1998. I had a tent behind Holī Gurujī’s, me and five others. It was like a hut. Holī Gurujī, at 3 o’clock in the morning, had his day pre-kvada, and he woke up singing bhajans. At the Kumbh Melā, you could not sleep. You were whole day and night in the same level of consciousness. You heard the mantras, you heard this. We had water in the tent, so it was a little bit… it was tapas, and it was hot. Holī Gurujī was there in his tent behind. At that time, I didn’t know about Gurujī. He was also a newcomer. I had no idea about anything, and it was good. We were there, and Holī Gurujī was singing his bhajan. I don’t know if he was in Swāmījī. He was there on the other side of the tent. When we were in Chatan the first time, in the tents, Gurujī was staying in an old house. What was there? With Premanānjī. Premanānjī was in one room and Gurujī was in another, but he was there. And we were in the tents. There was nothing, nothing. There was nothing holy; Gurujī was there in the kitchen. We made it like this: we cleaned the area of the stones, took all the stones out, and made with stones one wall, round, round. Whoever stepped over the stones had to take off their shoes because this was the kitchen. We cleaned the room, and whoever wanted to go to the stone had to see it because it was the kitchen. At that time, Varili prepared tea for Svāmījī. He made the tea so strong and so thick that Svāmījī could not drink it. Most probably it was so loud that Kudrči was looking from his room above down there and said, "You cook tea, Svāmījī." I don’t know how to cook tea, but that time I started to cook tea. And he was smiling, the Gurujī. So the Gurujī, always he was with, always he was there. And Swāmījī made him a very nice room. He gave him a room in the Karma Yoga house. Swāmījī prepared him a beautiful room in the Karma Yoga house. He had a good tent also, holy Gurujī, everything. And when we were looking from Swāmījī’s white house to there, Swāmījī was always looking to see how Gurujī was sitting already there. Always he was concentrated on him, and still he is, still he is all the time, all the time. So this is today, the day our Holy Gurujī came into this world. We celebrate, of course, also in September according to Western culture, Western astrology. We celebrate also. When I sing to Gurujī, I hear him singing, how he was singing. We have this very nice collection of his bhajans. Swāmījī is coming, Swāmījī is coming. The very nice collection of the Gurujī’s bhajana. We have a beautiful collection of the Gurujī’s bhajana. So we will continue with Swāmījī’s coming, and this is finished now, Hari. Yeah, it’s good. So we can sing one bhajan that Gurujī was writing. Many, many bhajans. But this we can also, okay? Who has the ear for that, okay? This is such a beautiful, beautiful bhajan. Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, made this bhajan in Khattu, in Nīpāl āśram, in his room. For our Gurujī to write a bhajan is like a lecture. He could give hours and hours of lecture only through bhajans. And the new bhajans, not the same. So there is a… What is that? No, yeah, it’s okay, it’s okay. So it is, we have in our heart that wisdom. When you make very nice apple strudel, apple pie, many are doing, but there are certain… Then it is a completely different taste, completely different. Many people make the halvā, and you know what halvā is—explain it to them. Halvā is an Indian sweet meal made of flour, sugar, butter or ghee, and spices. Not a buffalo, cow, butter, or ghee. Many people can do this, but the real master cook, his or her hands are great. Well, there is Slovakia, and Slovakia has its own kind of food. And that’s what they call the haluśkī. Yeah, many people are making halušky. The Austrians are also doing it. But it’s not. Yogīs also. Yes, but not that. Slovakia, the Czech people are here also. But they cannot. This means my lungs are still good. Sorry. I’m sorry. So, but there are these Slovaks, and these Slovakians, all cannot. There was a competition in Banská Bystrica for 200 people or something like this. And then one competition was the election, and one person wanted to be a minister, and he made halušky very quickly, very tasteful. All were happy. People who were there, they ate a lot, and the other two. He was the winner, and he became the minister. And he was the minister of the army, what you call the… Defense. And who was that? No, no, no. A kaniṣ. Yes. So someone has it in their hands. And they know what to do. 85% of people in the world cannot cook. Or maybe 90%. Just cooking, making is not cooking. You see, cooking is a science. And that is, it is said, one śāstra, one scripture, one Veda. In Āyurveda, it’s called Pakṣāstra. Śāstra is some scripture, like Patañjali, like Bhagavad Gītā, etc. So they made a competition, and it is said that the best cook can cook for us the iron. We have a rod of iron, and he will cook it, and you will eat something soft. That’s called the master of the Pak Śāstra. So someone said, "I can make it," and he said to the king, "I cannot only make this iron. Your Highness, you should have a golden or a silver one. I can keep the silver," so he said yes. And he made a very nice silver plate. Nice spices on it. It has to be, which kind of spices we should give. And it is said, you should not be angry. For one subject, you must please be angry, but don’t be angry. So it is said, it is exactly how it is said in the poet. I don’t know, but food, machine, and wife should be separate. Yes, so therefore in many countries, the women should be controlled outside. Here also in Europe, a few centuries ago, we became very good. But we gave them freedom, and we lost. What? Cooking. Okay, we are all men, swallow down. Doesn’t matter how it is. Because now they’ve forgotten; the women also lost cooking. Because some said, "Why should we cook the women’s? Cook the men? And good men, husband?" An American said, "The good husband dies in the kitchen." So then they said, "I don’t want to cook. You can cook for yourself. I go to the restaurant, eat, and come." So now we are oneness. Very good. It’s a good life. We gave the freedom to the woman. That is a divine blessing. Let them. But how long? My God, where am I going? So, anyhow, you see, when you give a child, only a mother can give you milk. Not your father. That’s all. So it has nothing negative. Not negative at all. It is the nature. We said first, God is the mother. Means the woman, but it does not mean that, like this. So the god Śakti, they are also giving us eating this, that, that. Okay, let’s forget it. It was that time. Now we are making houses begin in San Francisco. If you don’t trust in me, I can tell you that someone is sitting here. Is there someone? Yes. They make a building, but there is no kitchen inside. So the lady said, "Husband, there is no kitchen." So there are all big, big, big buildings, but no kitchen inside. And now, very good, how to make the man down. Every house or flat has different cooking. Fish, chicken, this, that. Chilis, Indians, all smell well on the corridor, and so they said, "No kitchen." Very nice, clever people. But downstairs we have two, three, four, five restaurants. You can go and eat, give the money again, lost both cooking and cooking. That’s it. How we are losing our self, we are losing everything. Come back, come back to the nature. The good food for your children is good for the mother’s hands. And good food is good for the husband. That husband is completely happy and relaxed. Then the wife is also divine, great. And the children are so happy. But why are they separating now? Only the kitchen is a problem. 90% is a kitchen problem. That’s it. Anyhow, where am I going? So, king, the cook came and said, "King, your highness, today I will cook for you a silver dish." For how many? The king said, "For myself, my dear queen, prince, only for that." OK, how much? One kilo. OK, one kilo, give me the silver coins. He put it in his bag. Because the kitchen should be, no one should go in the kitchen. That’s another principle. Only that goes who is cooking, and as it is. Whenever I go to America and we go to the retreat, there’s a nice kitchen. Hey bird, what is that? It’s okay. Maybe water, or the bird was doing something. No problem? Okay, so we used to bring kitchen from some other kitchen. So the kitchen is locked, and we asked ourselves, "Can we go in the kitchen and take the water?" We said, "No, no... no." You cannot enter the kitchen. They brought food. They want to go. Said, "No, no, don’t come in." Don’t touch. There is a window, and we will serve you. Can we make tea? In this kitchen, you cannot touch. Why? It’s a law. Have you a certificate about your health? Therefore, he said, "I will lose my job." That is very important. In America, it’s like that. Of course, in your own kitchen, you do what you want. But for the public, it has to be very, very much controlled. Is there anybody who knows what I’m telling? Yes, that’s it. So what I’m talking, don’t make Swāmījī making a joke, but this is a knowledge. I wish very much that in our kitchen, no children run in, and no mother can take for my child. This, the people, the governor people, will come and lock the door. Yes, and time for eating, then close. And if some food remains, of course, if you want to eat more, you can. Otherwise, it will be thrown. Everything is cleaned. And it will bring fresh, new cooking. This is that principle. Now, that’s called Pak Śāstra, like Āyurveda. Like this is Śāstra. But there are some people who can make even the king look stupid. So he said, "Sir, one kilo is too late." Okay, two kilometers. So no, two kilometers. Put it in his bag. And now, you know what we have with Seva Devī here? In our kitchen. She makes beautiful white, what we call reddish, long, and then he cleans, makes it one size, and cuts that, and makes a nice vegetable, and says, "Sir, your highness, this is your dish, silver." And the king said, "Oh, so tasteful." His wife said, "I think it is very good." The children also said it is better than chicken. He said it is very good, either evening or morning, so he was taking it every day, cooking. Slowly, slowly, the whole treasure of the gems, silver. And he said to the king, "Sir, Highness, there is no more silver. But I can go to some merchant and get some cheaper." So again, he got all the silver back, and he said, "I got it in 75%." And 25 less, so he got all the money. Again, he cooks. Then he said, "Highness, let’s cook the gold. That is good for the bones. Good brain. Can you cook the gold? Your high days. Your cook can cook even you." He said, "Really?" That’s good. Gold. So he was giving the gold, and he went, "Nice, nice, red carrots." And he cleaned, and they made it nice like gold, gold. Then what? Coins, and nice haldi on it. And nice taste, and this, and yes. It is gold, but don’t eat too much. He said, "No, no, you bring me more. Of course, I am your servant." It’s a good test. Yes, you need iron in the body. Silver in the body. You have enough iron; don’t take it. And he took all the gold away. That is a kitchen. You see? So that’s why the lady said, "Don’t bring your husband in the kitchen." He will take half the money in his pocket and come with the alcohol bottle. So, man, you should wait. I will cook and give you. You may clean the dish, and then she said, "No, no..." Don’t clean the dish. I know in one month, three times, you broke all my dishes. Go with the children playing. That’s why the women are called the Lakṣmī. So this is what we call the Pak Śāstra. And if you don’t know, then, of course, you will have money. What will you get? Junk food. From the gold, you are taking junk. And we are so fast, so quick, we are making hospitals and rooms. Many, many rooms are missing. And now, what happens? In some countries, nurses don’t want to work in hospitals anymore; they will go to America. They go to Switzerland. The nurse is gone. What happened? What is the situation? That was an example. Example is this: my wife is very intelligent. She is gone, and her husband is hanging with the junk food. So in the hospitals, you should also give good pension or good money, good respect. To treat the nurses in a good way, like a doctor. Sometimes they let them stay two days in the hospital. So those who treat their wife like that, no question that husband will be without a wife. So there is work for the man and work for the woman. So today was what we call the Pakṣāstra. And next year, under this tree, if God will give us life, I will give you something different. Oh, my God, you will say, "Swāmījī, this is the best." In the next life—sorry, not next—so Gurujī said, and then Gurujī said: O Lord, O Bhagvān, O Gurudev, Prem kā pyālā, prem, the love, pyālā is this ball. Please, fill this with love. Kab mera bharse, O Lord, When you will fill this bowl of love? Love means happiness, joy, protection, knowledge. This is a prayer, the prayer of the God, the frame of the tree. Can’t you imagine, and have you not understood? We were under these trees. How much love this tree gave us. Nice shadow, nice cool, nice grass. What do you want more? But still, we want to have more. Adnā bhikārī, I am the beggar. I am waiting at your door. I am with this pot to fill. I am waiting. I am in your house. Why should I starve to go to your door? Prema kāpyā laharī kab merā bharā se, jo tere darā āye sab kuch pāyā. Prema amṛta harī, behad bhar se. Prema kā pyālā harī, kabh merā bhar se, jo tere dar āye sab kuch pāyā. Khali gaya nahi koi apke ghar se. Those who came to your door, they got everything. No one went with empty hands. Those who came to you and on whom you were gracious, you are blessed. Amṛta means nectar, prém means love, the love of the wisdom. Hurry, behead mercy. The God is so like lot of rain falling on us, even we have to open your umbrella. When raining, what do you think? Everyone will run away. Take this and go, go,... go. But someone is feeling this Amṛt Baras. Someone perceives, experiences that Amṛt Paras. O my Gurudev, O my Gurudev, I call to you. I’m asking you, my Lord. Why is my bowl empty? But my Lord, one day you will definitely fill my bowl. One day you will be merciful, merciful, O my Lord, on me. One day, my Lord, you will love me too. O Gurudev, Mīrābāī, Narasībāī, Kabīr, Tulsīdāsjī, endless saints, endless bhaktas, Many sent, they were drinking and drinking, they were very happy and, "Oh my Lord, when will my pot be filled?" the giver. Why you don’t listen to my word, my request? You have endless treasures if you will give it. Fill my pot; your treasure will not be empty. Prem kā pyālā hari kābh merā se, adnā bhikārī meṅ khāde khāde tarsāy. Adnā bhikārī hum khāde khāde tarsāy. Prem kā pyālā hari kābh merā bhar se. Gurujī said, "Śrī Mādhāvan jī," Ānanda baraso, please let it rain of the ānanda. Anand and anand and anand, jab hi merī ātmā har se ṭhen, my ātmā vilhares means will be happy. My ātmā will be then forever and forever happy. This was Gurujī wrote one day bhajan, and this was beautiful. It is a beautiful bhajan: Deep Nanda Bhagavān Sat Guru Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Sat Tiśnāthandar Devādhi Dev Deveśvara Mahādeva Alak Purījī Mahādeva Samy Bhakt Sājnokī. Yeah, buddy.
