Regarding Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna: Over the last three, even four decades, many hundreds and thousands of you have learned this Anuṣṭhāna Kriyā. A question arises: "I still have not had any experiences." And I agree with that observation. Why? There is a great saint, Kabīrdās. He provided the answer, which you can accept. He explained how our soul, our being, our body is purified. In one beautiful and famous bhajan, he writes that this body is like our cloth, called a chādar—a blanket. In this bhajan, he describes everything. It is not that in two or three decades we can become like Brahmājī. We cannot become God. First, we must purify. When we find gold mixed with stones, we must purify that gold. The more we put it through heat, the more its purity emerges. So, this heat—have you gone through this heat? This means tapasyā, sādhanā, the nourishment. Do not blame anyone—neither your master nor your friends. It is you who must purify. There was a question: How is it that when a wife does not eat meat, but the husband eats meat, it affects her? It means you are with the cow and the buffalo; they are different. It is said that even if you give milk to a snake to drink, that milk will turn into poison. So, this is the answer. It is easier, and yet it is not easier. Either you give up all your desires, or you remain in the dirt. So, Kabīrdās, in this bhajan, speaks of the chādar, the shawl, your cloth. And what is that? It is our body—our own skin, not this external cloth. Now, this skin is colored. How is it colored? Either by the name of God or by worldly things—everything: eating, titting, pitting, hitting, sitting. So it is. The answer is very clear. You can practice for years and years, but this color is not easy to attain. There are many examples. A very easy one, yet not so easy: One goes to the doctor for a blood test. We check through our blood what we have and what we lack, what is mixing. When the result comes, iron is missing, okay? We take iron tablets for about a month, and what happens? For that month we suffer—with constipation, yes? After a month, you go again to the doctor. The iron is still missing. "But I was eating so many vegetables, blueberries, many things. Why? I drink, I eat, I take tablets, but I cannot get this iron into my blood." Then the doctor gives an iron injection, and then it comes. The iron is good in the blood. So, you need an injection from the Master. You cannot only sing bhajans and hold a mālā and do this and that. It is not that. So, Rām Nām, Rāma, God Rāma—you may say Kṛṣṇa, you can say Mahāprabhujī, you can say Allāh, Jesus—but from the heart, you should have a constant injection, and that is your anuṣṭhāna. Yet many are in anuṣṭhāna with a big problem. How many times do you get up, get down, think of your problems—this, that, and many more? But if constantly you receive the color from God's name... He spoke about Rāma, God Rāma. So, my shawl, he said, is colored by the name of God, Rāma. It is very good. It is so very... what could I say? The word? It is very difficult. If you touch it, it will break, yes, or other colors will come. Which is that color, and which dress? Your inner soul is very fragile. If you touch it, it breaks. And what kind of touch? Saṃsāra. What is saṃsāra? The world, worldly life. It is not easy. Many times I tell Mauna, "You will speak, no?" And she says, "Yes, I must do this." After five minutes, we go out of this room. Only at the door, you know: "Hello, hi, hi, hey boy, come on, what is that?" The spot on your soul—the spot of desires, anger, hate, jealousy, greed, etc. So he said, "How can your soul be clean, pure?" So this, whatever we get—these bhajans, songs, poems—it is not easy to write them. Therefore, our Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī, said you have to color your heart with jñāna, knowledge. So when the Anāhata Chakra awakens, then you will see that color will come. Do not think that now this color is there, you will come here from here to here and from here to there. You say, "I will go to my heart and open my heart completely." You cannot imagine the dirt upon dirt upon dirt. Close your heart and say, "It doesn't matter. Now I will go to another part?" No. So, do not ask anyone a question. Do not blame anyone. It is we ourselves. We should enter our hearts. And here, how many of us are sitting? They all have these problems. This one has a problem, that one has a problem. All oranges are very good. Orange skin, then something different, then some juice, and you say, "Oh, it is so sour." Extra, everything. So, the name of God... Who is God? Guru Brahma. So, it does not matter whom you believe as God. You have to become a disciple and take that as your master, your guru. So, the name of Rāma—how many times will we clean this? We will wash and wash in the water, clean and clean, and come back again with a spot. We make our dress very nice, clean, and we put it on our body. It is very hot; we are sweating. After ten minutes, it is smelling—that's it. So, how can we do something so that our dress does not have any spot of this smell? For years and years, life after life, there are rare ones who come as very clean. We have a beautiful, beautiful white dress. Now we have to walk five kilometers through a coal mine, and then we come back again. Look who has a spot, who does not. So this saṃsāra, this world, is like a coal mine from here to there. You go, and you are completely colored with different things. If you just touch it, it goes on like an electric seat. Therefore, for anuṣṭhāna, I often say that when we are practicing, you should have a little space. But now, when space is too little, you should go to your soul, ātmā, so that no one can hit you. So it is there. You go to your Anuṣṭhāna, your Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. And Kriyā—what is the Kriyā? Is it something great? But five times I looked in your window, in the Gaṅgā Hall, Saṅgam Hall. I know who is sitting there. Someone is lying down. Four times, Maheśvarānanda's eyes are there. And all who are behind me, around me—I go in such a way that they cannot see I am there. That is why I put this question. Eating meat: your husband eats, and you get the sin. When you touch him, you kiss him, he is all behind you; you can eat also, very often. Yes or no? That's it. So, do not ask a question. It is you; you have to decide. That is why it is called becoming a sannyāsī. But still, being a sannyāsī, you have to be in that color from the heart. It is not that you do not touch anybody. You can touch, you can speak, but you know you are that kind of crystal. No dust remains on that crystal. You did not buy my mālā today; it is about 30 years old. Before, around my neck, around the whole world many times, but that crystal has no dirt at all. Maybe the thread has a spot. That is called clean, pure, like a crystal. Aṣṭakamalaka Carkhā Banāyā: The eight chakras, for us all, are very clear. What are they? Aṣṭa: Svādhiṣṭhāna, Mūlādhāra Chakra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Bindu. These are eight chakras. He tells us this is like we are working with the wheels for making our dress. Aṣṭa kamala kā carkhā banāyā, and again further, pañca tattva kā pūnī. So, what do we have from the cotton? The cotton, and these are the five tattvas. These five tattvas are like the cotton, and with this machine, what are we making? The thread, and then we are making the cloth. That's it. Further? So, it took time to make this beautiful cloth from eight to nine. So, from the beginning of our life in the mother's body, there your chādar, your shawl, was made by the mother's body—not this you see. I was with a doctor, and the doctor gave me a very good injection for an operation. He made it perfect. I... cannot read anything before I could read everything, and therefore, nā smaraṇa ko lāge, mūrakha meli kīnī. So, for so long, this—our body, our skin, our soul—was worked on. But the stupid one, day by day, makes it dirty. The dirt of that karma, many, many things we do not understand. Kabīrdāsjī said... That is again, it is Gajānanda's. Okay, so I do not want to make it like I am reading like a stupid one. So, please, can you tell me, okay? This is another bhajan; I will do it, I think. So Kabīrdāsjī said, "Your mother was working very hard from eight to nine, this month, eight to nine months," and then she gave it to us. But if you were not making this pure, keeping the purity, then day by day we are putting dirt on it—the dirt of karma, the dirt of everything. It is very pure, so you can throw any kind of dirt on a crystal, and nothing will remain on it, like that. But then he said, "When I got this so beautiful, pure my chādar, what did I do? I went to someone there who is coloring the cloth." And who is that? Gurudev. Gurudev gives you that color. And what kind of color? Red. So, all beautiful, that is the right one. The red into the red—what is that? My blood, my blood in my soul, very pure. So, like many great saints, they all brought pure color, the color of the pure soul. And Kabīrdās said Kabīrdās gave to God as he got pure; he gave further to God as pure. So, what kind of purity do we have? Always angry. You do not like this person, you like that person, and I am... I am swimming in a beautiful ocean where there is much fighting. Yes, I am there, but many sharks are coming. And when I look at the shark, she dances and goes away. This and that. So, śuddha means purity. So, someone said—Gurujī said, or someone said—there was a person who was not good. He was taking everything from people, angry, jealous, many things. So everyone told him, "Bad, bad." But then a sādhu came and said, "My child, my son, you are pure, you are great. Let me hug you." And when he hugged him, what happened? All dirt went away, and he became very pure, very high. So we need to hug someone, yes. And "hug" means that you accept that person. That is very important. Then your sādhanā is pure and successful. This is very, very important to know. Then our Anuṣṭhāna will be pure. We all know that we are very good. "I am the best one. They are so stupid. They are angry. I am good. I am. I am, you know." So this is "I." In Hindi we say "I," somebody "I," a woman's eye, or a goat's eye, or a cow's eye, a buffalo's eye. So, eye—what eye? That eye means ego, and that ego does not let us come any further. There is one beautiful bhajan of Maṅgīlālji, a beautiful bhajan, "Sādhavaī." How does it go further? Yes, Sādhavaī, Ajabara, no, he is the Holy Gurujī's, okay. Holy Gurujī is best. Come on, the bhajan of the Holy Gurujī, so beautiful, so beautiful.
