Truly, Devpurījī performed these miracles. Have you heard much about it here? Yes, but Devpurījī is great. The mahimā (glory), the miracles of our Devpurījī, are great. Yes, he was an avadhūta. He had no desire. He did not want any money, but when he needed it, he had it. Wherever he was walking, if some people said, "I have no money, please," he would say, "Okay, dig here, and we will get it." This siddhi he has not given to me yet. But Devpurījī gave me more in my life than I can think. Our Gurujī Mahāprabhujī—you cannot imagine—many, many, many bhaktas received a great deal. But it requires what we call faith. Faith means devotion. Devotion means confidence. Confidence means that you are completely immersed in it. It is the same with Gurujī’s miracles; I have them in my letters. I still have letters written by Gurujī in his own hand, and I was also writing to him. When my letter came to Gurujī, the postman was bringing the letter and said, "This is a letter for you, Gurujī," and added, "It is from my son-in-law." The postman was leaving, and Gurujī said, "Come back, come back, come back. I give you ten rupees. Thank you. You brought a letter of Maheśvaranām." Then, as the postman was going, Gurujī said, "Come back. Whenever you bring Maheśvarānām’s letter, you will get ten rupees." At that time, ten rupees was like fifty or a hundred rupees. That was the love of the disciple for Gurudev and Gurudev’s love for the disciple. Let it come. Jai Hari Om, Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Devādhi Dev Deveśvara Mahādeva Kiṁśaya, Alak Purījī Mahādeva Kiṁśaya, Satguru Svāmī Mādhvānandjī Bhagavān Kiṁśaya, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kiṁśaya, Aum, Aum. We had some meditations this week. Regarding these meditations, what you are thinking and telling—please, can we put it on our telephone or in a letter? That does not help you. Why do you say, "I want to have this meditation"? It means you did not understand; you did not properly concentrate. If you are very alert, then you will not ask again, "Can we record?" Recording has given big problems. It is lost. There was a time when Gurudev was speaking, giving any word. The disciple was completely like a thirsty person who drinks a whole glass full of water. That you should remember, you should concentrate, and then you may give it to someone. But if you give it further to someone and you lose a few words, then it is not fruitful. Or if you put it in some book or any… that is gone. And that one can be used negatively. Gurujī said, "Do not write anything confidential on a letter." Which is your confidential, or something. He said, "No, no, it will always be with me in my pocket." So Gurujī said, you get that in your pocket, you write something. It is only between you and me; it is good, but suddenly it is harder. Even if you had it in your hand, you would open it. So we have to be there and understand and swallow it in our heart and in our thoughts. In the book Līlā Amṛt, which Gurujī has written, there is a beautiful city in Gujarat, Ahmedabad, where Mahātmā Gandhi was also living in his last few minutes. This Ahmedabad is the capital city of Gujarat. I am giving you the lecture. I am giving you knowledge. I give you information. This is a lecture; it is not a joke. This is how we learn. Gurujī has an ashram in Gujarat where I stayed for a few years alone. It was outside the city. Anyhow, that is different. Gurujī likes walking. So from his ashram, going to the center of the city is about 10 to 15 kilometers walking. Some bhakta invited Gurujī: "Please, Gurujī, come to our house and have a meal." So Gurujī was walking and sat there for a while. They were cooking nice food for Gurujī, and they were singing bhajans. People were coming and singing bhajans together. Then Gurujī said, "Bless you, I am going back." Again, 15 kilometers walking or more. So, 30 kilometers going for a bhakta who invited Gurujī for food in his home, walking 30 kilometers going and coming. At that time, there were not so many transports. There were city buses, but they were coming from time to time, every 20 minutes or 15 minutes or something. Half or half a minute. So Gurujī said, "I will wait 20 minutes, and then I will go on for about five kilometers. Then I will walk again. Let’s walk." This is a lesson. It is a master’s love, respect, and giving of blessings—all these three things. In the capital, Ahmedabad, there is one part where all the politicians and officers and so on live. There is the residence of the governor. It is big, his residence, and it is on the bank of the river Sabarmati. Gurujī was coming somewhere at about 1:30, very hot. He was walking, about 45 minutes walking, and Gurujī was thirsty. He said, "Water." So Gurujī went to the governor’s residence, to a nice lawn like this. When Gurujī went in, the guards of the governor, they knew Gurujī. So they ran and brought a nice chair under a beautiful tree and said, "Please, come in the house." Gurujī said, "No, I am here, okay? Just bring some water, and if the governor is here, tell him Swāmījī is here." The governor is the head, the king of this whole Gujarat. Many people did not dare to go in. He was sitting there, and Gurujī asked this guard, "Is the governor here?" He said, "Yes, he is eating." He was having lunch, so Gurujī said, "Okay, do not disturb him. Just give information that Swāmījī is here." He was a governor, and he was a Muslim. There are some religious conflicts between, but those who are educated people, like governors or ambassadors, etc., they do not make it like this, dualism. While his person went and said, "Sir," the guard came there and said to the governor, "Yes, Satgurujī came," in the name of Gurujī, Mādhvānandjī, and he is sitting in the garden. "I gave him a nice chair, water, and a table. He just told me that I should tell him that Swāmījī is here." The governor of the whole Gujarat country immediately took a glass of water, washed his hands, and washed his mouth. He went immediately, within two minutes, to Gurujī. He bent, touched the feet of Gurujī, and said, "Gurudev, what can I do?" Gurujī said, "But you were eating. Why so quickly? You should have eaten. I am sitting here; I will not go away." He said, "Yes, Gurudev. I know that you will wait until I eat and come. I do trust you, Gurudev, but I have no trust in my life. If I die, I will miss the blessing of your Gurudev. Eating, I am eating my whole life. But Gurudev’s darśan and Gurudev’s blessing…" Then Gurujī was sitting, and Gurujī gave him a nice lecture and a little bit of blessings. That is how, for those who have such a feeling, it does not matter where the Guru is; it is there. And therefore it is said in one bhajana: "Guru Deva Darśana Dhanahou, Guru Deva Darśana Dhanahou." So he said, the governor said, "Guru Deva Darśana Dhanahou. Your darśana, to see you, it is a great wealth for me." Darśan dhan ho, and dhan means two: dhan means prosperity or spirituality. Then they were talking further. Guru Deva Darśan Dhan Ho, Guru Deva Darśan Dhan Ho. Chetanayan Dhan Ho, Darśan Dhan Ho. Guru Deva Darśan Dhan Ho. Śeṣa Maheśa Kare Guru Seva, Śeṣa Maheśa Kare Guru Seva. Mujhako Śaraṇa Raho Gurudeva, Mujhako Śaraṇa Raho Gurudeva. Prabhu Dhanamāna Dhanārpaṇa Ho. Prabhu Dhanamana Dhanarpan Ho, Gurudeva Darśan Dhanam. Guru Deva Darśan Dhanahu, Chetan Anand Gannahu. Guru Deva Darśan Dhanahu, Ṛṣi Muni Sumare Avatāra. Vedatake nahi bhavata para. O Gurudev, shana dana gurudev, cheta gana cheta, japa tahi bana ave, japa tapa yoga nahi bana ave, karuna nidhi daya karva ave, karuna nidhi daya kara. Vāraṁ vāraṇam anahou... Guru-deśa-nandana vārśana-dhīrata-sāra, sattakuru-dhārśana-dhīrata-sāra. Jo jana-pāve-bhāgya-sitāra, jo jana-pāve-bhāgya-sitāra. Haribhava Vandyanabhagavanna ho, Haribhava Vandyanabhagavanna ho. Guru Deyana Danna ho, Nithyananda Danna ho. Satta Guru Se Meriyehi Vandana. Prabhu, Mujhapar Raaho, Prasanna Ho. Guru Devata, Rishanadana Ho, Chetananda Gana Ho. So, Ārādhī Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī wrote this bhajan, and it says the glory of Devpurījī. So it is in the bhajans. Bhajan is the best philosophy. You can write books and books; it is not that one. Because it can be changed, we can again make something we do not like; we can do revisions. Functioning is separate, but poetry is not. In bhajans, it is not so. So let us count how many Gurudevas you have. How many bhajans are there? That is so. Writing the books, everything, everyone can. We write about, let us say, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. In the Bhāgavatam, there are eight different kinds of yoga, and we will see this and read something. But what is written by Vedavyāsa about this Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa’s… Kṛṣṇa has not written. But Vedavyāsa said how Kṛṣṇa was acting, and so, a dialogue between Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa—disciple and master. So if you write only the next book, what we call the next book will be written. We are writing differently. You know, we have a very great master, and he wrote a book, like Gurujī writes Līlā Amṛt. So this is what we call your master’s glory or something you are writing. So that one master, he was writing. It was about, let us say, two or three hundred pages maximum. And now his law went away. So now they are writing, the disciples, from somewhere put it inside, from others put it inside, and nearly a thousand pages. So somebody writes inside, and there is the name of this person. That is not right. But when there is the best bhajan or this, no one can change. And if you change, you will feel that it is wrong. And therefore, it is Anāhata, our heart, this mantra and this cakra. And Anāhata means also the endless. So what you have in your heart is an immense amount of love, and that kind of love cannot have anything more. You will find nothing other than this one. So anāhada, nāda. And nāda means a sound. So our heart, our heart is speaking, but we will put it in different words. Your heart, someone’s heart said, "I did not steal anything," but the heart said, "But your Viśuddhi does not dare to bring it out." And so many, many people, they are not, they do not be trustful. And when there is trust, it is not there. Then there is a difference. So Mahāprabhujī said that one point of Gurujī’s, which I have forgotten, my mystic… So it is said that if it is the truth, then the heart will tell you. So this poem is beautiful; I will think again. It is very nice. So, you should have a nice poem, but not, how do you call it, learn or write from others. What will you call this? Not a copy. Copyright? Anyhow, everybody sees differently. Of course, this is good. But it is like that you are taking the anyhow out of my memory nowadays. We call it in Hindi nakal. Yes, that is right. So nakal means not truth. Nowadays, in this time of our world, many, many companies, many, many things, they just put one word inside and then say it is mine. Your copyright is there very nicely, and we have OM and this other will take OM, Śrī, and this is mine. And someone will just give it without OM and Śrī and say, "Well, it is already ours, it is already different." And they just change it or add one word and say, "Well, it is already ours." And that is how it goes in Kali Yuga, and that is how you do not get anything. All these bhajans of great saints, there are many Sufi saints. They have very beautiful bhajans: Kabīrdās, Sūrdās, Mīrābāī, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Olegurujī, Brahmanānjī, Śivanānjī, and many others. There is the knowledge. That is the treasure in those bhajans. So we say learn; we can learn. But some people say, no, we do not know. Okay, we will put my name in. Then it is my if. Kabīr Dās said, "Kabīr Dās, Kabīr Dās, Bhajan, I said, ‘Kabīr Dās, I can do nice glory for you.’" But it should be like this: when you discover Kabīr Dās, you should say, "Kabīr Dās, I will glorify you, I will give you glory." And so he just says, "I will do it, I will glorify Kabīr Dās," but actually Kabīr Dās is like pushing. And he says, "I will glorify you here, Kabīr Dās," and then his name. Do you understand me? So one day in Jaipur Ashram, our Gurudev was there, and one nice, good, learned person came, and philosophers, etc. He came, and he wanted to speak something with Gurujī. He thought, "I will ask Gurujī. What answer will he give? He will not give me a proper answer." But he wanted to see, "How is this Swāmījī?" So he was a great learned man. He came to the Gurudev, he was in praṇām, and talking something. Then he said, "Gurudev, I have a question. I asked many people, but no one could give me the answer." Gurujī said, "When such great persons cannot give you the answer, then what should I answer?" He said, "No, no, Gurudev, I have confidence. Please answer my question." He said, "Gurudev, these beautiful poetries and bhajans were wrought by many saints: Kurū dās, Śiva dās, Kabīr dās, Mīrābāī, etc., etc. Gurudev, they all took it, the butter, butter. And what remains if you call the buttermilk? So it is only the white water. Butter, butter is gone. So what can we do? They took it, the whole butter. We have thin water." Gurujī said, "Yes, you are a great, very nice, but Gurudeva, can you give me something?" Gurujī said, "Of course I know, that is why you came to me, and I have to answer you. Well, he said, ‘Butter is gone.’" Gurujī said, "Makhan khāyā to kyā khāyā?" If they ate all the butter. Makhan khāyā to kyā khāyā? Dhenu hamāre pās, but my cow is with me. Feed her with good feed, and milk, die at night, you can get as butter more and more fresh. He held like this, "Guru Dev, Guru Dev…" Month after month, I was searching; no answer gave me like this. So if butter is eaten, but they did not eat the cow—yet feed her and milk it—you will have more and more every day, more butter. So he said yes. Anāhata cakra, awake the Anāhata cakra from the nābhi, anāhat, kaṇṭha, kamal, and then voice from the viśuddhi cakra. Let your buddhi, your intellect, your knowledge, this is how to come. This is your mantra, this is your guru’s blessings, the sādhanā given by guru. That is the cow, which is your bhakti. Feed this bhakti with the guru’s seva. So this is your bhakti. All the great saints, that bhakti is the cow. All the sādhanās, the giving, the lectures, these are the makhan. You will get it. Everything is with you. You need nowhere to get it, so it is our buddhi. He has to come out. Do not run outside. If you are only out and out, that is why nowadays in the world, husband and wife, they are just going away. Your butter is your child. It is eaten by the mouse. It is melted with the ants. Your cow is not there. The cow is gone. So this all is within us: our devotion, our respect, our understanding, our humbleness, and understand the buddhi. Yes. Do not think that you will always be the same. It cannot be. Our life is changing. Our age is changing, but our respect or our love will not go away. We are old as a body, but our man, our mind, our ātmā, is never old. Day by day, more and more immortality is coming from heaven. So this is what you are doing in Anuṣṭhāna. Or you went for a walk. Someone was making a joke. And someone was eating a lot of good fruits, etc. Very rare was going with the mālā in the hand and walking. You know, nowadays there are those drones, so I put my drone up, so I could see once where they are, here and there. So I told Hanumān Purī, "Some lost the way." So we went with the car, and I said, "Yes, they are. It is a good trip on the right way back." So it is not easy to come into the anāhata. We are always outside, outside, outside. And if you go out, then go in. It means that you are ten people, and you all become one. How? You have that kind of subject. While that is going on, a good subject is speaking. Does not matter which saint, any religion or no religion. But come to your heart. Therefore, it is said, Kabīr Dās Jī’s bhajan says, "O Gurudev, give me the wealth of your bhakti, nothing else." That is it. And further, it is also said, "If I die, then please be with me, and I do not need anything. Please give me again the human life so that I can go further." This is bhakti. These are the devotees. These are the yogīs. And so you are all like this. So, more philosophy and philosophy, philosophy, and see, that is all. So where the philosophy is there, there is quarreling. Because this philosophy, then other philosophies, then another one. So it is the duality; others say non-duality. Now, Śaṅkarācārya is a non-duality; others are duality. So, he is looking. There is one snake lying on the floor or on the road, and he said, "Look, there is a snake." It means duality—that there is a real stone, and me. Śaṅkarācārya said, "Look properly." Oh, there is some piece of wood. So these are different dualities and no knowledge. So what you are doing in your anuṣṭhāna, we try to get up again more and more in our inner self. But not like inside. Yes, Guru Dev. Not this. Inside means keep the room in your space. Ignorance goes. Fear goes. All goes. Expand, expand. And that is what you are doing with your mantra and doing with your prāṇas, your cakras, that you are expanding. I am I am thyself. Thyself means I self. Bhīṣma Prabhujī said in one poem, Bhīṣma Prabhujī in one poem, Bhīṣma Prabhujī in one poem… Bhīṣma Prabhujī, in one poem: "Mera nij aap hoon, tatva masi, nirmoy karta hoon me, vandana mujko meri hoi." Beautiful poem. I am myself. Yā sem sām sebo, yā sem svim, yā sem ātmā. "Mera nij aap hoon, tatva masi, nirmoy"—and I am nirmoy. I am no, I do not have any attachment to my self, because that and this is one. So this Mahāprabhujī said this beautiful śloka, and it is also written in our book. You should read it. So we have two days more. Two days more, and go more within thyself. Yes. What have you learned? That is it. If you want, you can go for a one-hour walk within our area. Little up and then to the farms, or that side where you came. Please take care of the traffic. So, one hour go and come back. There, our buddhi will purify because you have energy inside. So, wish you all the best. And Dīpner Bhagavān.
