The one who is pure and flawless, the remover of all sorrows... How should one enter such darkness? Mahne had great love for brothers and children; he also taught them English. We will remember Mātar Jī for ages and ages. Now see, she did not know Hindi at all, and after Hindi, our Nagaur dialect as well—she learned to read that too. Now your Bāb Chī is said to be somewhere, but the language was not ours for her. She also used to stay alone at night. She cared for all of you with great love and was very disciplined. And because she was born there, in Europe, even after that, Paramātmajī always wondered what was being studied in the mountains, but what could be done? The peacock was very lovingly cared for by Mayūr Gośvī. Even monkeys would come at night during the heat; Mother used to sleep upstairs. The monkeys would come and go, and they never caused any harm to her. And she was very strict as well, but as they say, those who are the strictest are the ones who love the most. In their heart was love for all, a feeling for everyone, a spirituality. And Mataji, early in the morning, Mataji—I hardly stay here, you yourselves say—this is what I want to tell you, that Mataji, at four o’clock in the morning, whether the tea was hot or not, would light the lamps in the temple, and at five o’clock, the āratī would begin. There were many mothers and devotees of Gurudev who used to come to our temples. Some were devotees of Viśvakarmā Bhagavān, some of Rāja Śiva, some of Kṛṣṇa’s mother, and some of Gaṇeśa. I didn’t even know how to place the lamps properly. They would tell me how to light the lamps, and I would say, "How should I light them?" So, I used to say... What has happened, this black, black—what a great Mātarjī! I didn’t even know whether to call it black or white, but in every way, her essence is coming into India. And I have also met many people in India; she also says, "Look, Svāmījī, I come to India, but when people speak, they laugh, yet inside them there is darkness." Swāmījī kept saying repeatedly, "That man is coming," and I was constantly sensing it from my heart with great discipline, very strict discipline. So today, two or three people from our place were saying that Bāp Jī and Mātā Jī are like our very own mothers, deeply devoted to us. Now see, everyone has to go eventually. What we are and the peace we have, that alone receives love. Our peace is imperfect, and this place is the tapasyā of our Ārādhi Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī—that is what He is revealing. After this, our Ārādhi Bhagavān Satguru Svāmījī Mādhvānana has done tapasyā that few others have done. The people here in Gānkhē all say they are broken people. Very few have ever been as devoted in serving a guru as Mādhvānana Jī; that is indeed true, isn’t it? In Kagna, if you call it tapasyā, then tell Mātājī how fortunate she is to have found such a place here, this place of her samādhi. How wonderful it is, how blessed she is to have received this. We have worked hard, going from temple to temple. So, you are very fortunate; you are truly blessed to have such a pure soul who has come from Europe. Having come here and having performed tapasyā here, and having connected all of you from the heart to such a soul, today you all, with such devotion, with such feeling, with such bhakti, with your sincere faith and the grace of Vadan, may your spiritual power increase, may there be happiness and peace in the home, and may the tapasyā of Mātā Jī, the chanting of Mātā Jī’s name—worshipping Māta Jī is the very tapasyā of Māta Jī—and thereafter, whatever karmas take place, the bāṇḍārā happens, we ask for the tangār bhujī. Sanskrit and Hindi terms include: cakra, prāṇa, kuṇḍalinī, ātmā, Brahman, saṃskāra, dharma, karma, mantra, kīrtan, om, aum, namaste, praṇam, satsang, Hari Om.... These mantras, with their own flavors, gradually, gradually...
