There are certain things for which we must prepare. We prepare everything, yet what we prepare is temporary and then it is gone. For example, we invite someone for dinner, lunch, or breakfast. Knowing someone is coming, we prepare. Everything we have prepared is eaten, cleaned, and finished—it is gone. When we attend a lecture or a conference, we must be very careful. We observe that many do not read from a paper. When you read from a paper, it is not coming from yourself. You will know, and you have seen a person like our Indian Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister of India speaks, he can talk for hours and hours on every subject without looking at a book and saying, "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm very nice, have a day. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you, all my friends." Most politicians now look like this. Many politicians have no knowledge. They say, "I don't see," but their secretaries and the persons in their office prepare a very nice talk and give it to the minister, who then reads it once, twice, and still reads it again and again. Modi, of course, has a piece of paper there. First of all, he has the names of all who are sitting there—all the international ministers and so on. He will take the subject, whatever they talk about, and just speak on it. I am not... because I am telling you about my Indian Prime Minister. There are many prime ministers in India and here too, but I am telling you about the personality. Many will always talk like this and like that. Some people don't like his talk, Modi's talk, because now we have to do this. It was, and it is, like that. "I have done; you are doing good." So this finger, sometimes for people, is not so good, but he is telling good. All my dear students, I know, and you will be doing good. This is why Indians and spiritual people always greet like that. Showing the finger is not wrong. And that's why, what is the name of this finger? The index finger. So if you don't talk, then he doesn't know what he is doing or saying. So there are different things to know everything. Now, there are sometimes people when you say something, or I say something, and I ask, "Yes, do you like it or not?" "It was very good. I think it was not good." Either they are all oriented, they are sitting here, they did not understand, or they are still thinking, "Should I say yes or no?" It means they are still not in their brain and in their heart; it's yes or no. That's it. And when the speaker is there and he wants to say something, we should give the motivation to talk further, yes? And then time, it is if something, then they will say, "Yes, what happens that your power, his heart and the brain opens more bright?" So there are different, different countries. The Croatians are different, Austrians different, Germans are completely different, Indians are. There in Australia, I never saw them like this because they don't have the pigeons which fly away. They have only kangaroos, so they can go like that. Similarly, here, people also, there are different peoples in that way. We should know, I said myself, not you. Please, I'm talking myself. It's very hard for me to also become one in harmony with all of you. And you have very much difficulty to harmonize with me. You like, you know, very good, but still, that's it. So when we are telling something, then he said, that time even they can't move the eyelids. When you tell something, then he said, "I'm sorry, because you don't know." I know, I mean, the speaker, he knows. And therefore, it depends—every language, everywhere, every culture. If you come to the Bangkok aeroplane, they will always stand there and greet you. Have you been on Singapore Airlines? Also, they are sitting there. India was also like this. Now, some will say like this: "Hello, that's all lost, lost the culture." Sometimes now, God has in everyone something, because God gave the humans different, and other creatures, they are 100% acting according to their life, how they are. But the British... Let's say, because here are some people, is there anybody from British culture? No, but I'm telling you, why not? Why not? It is the truth. So we are here from different cultures: China, Japan, Korea, India, Germany, etc., all. We are all together. But in that time, the British, they will say, "Hello." Then after that, if it's very clear, then we'll give the hand, otherwise not. Now, they think, "Should I give the hand first, or should he say the first God?" So there is a certain time feeling. They said, "Yes, when you come to some ministers or someone, you know, they don't say like this." Mostly they said, "Yes, the police, the inspectors, and so on, they will not say that like this to the officer, too." Officer visit, sir. Just stretch, you know. So this is like this now. The tradition of the British, we can say, let's say English, and there one should not give the hand to the woman. And it depends on which kind of can is that, so. You stand there, and if she wants, she will say, "Give your hand." Then you should give the hand. And if you really, really did... A few times, I had my Māta Jī, my disciple, in Vienna. Her name was Katerina. She was from the royal family. And when we were going to London, and like this, into these people, and I gave the hand, then she was standing beside me, pulling my... She was very... She gave me so many things to do. And so, gentlemen, should not festival. If she says this, then of course you will. And then you should not shake. And how the Indians are doing now, they don't know. So they shake my card sometimes. It happened, I tell you, please. It's not really a joke. Someone had this, all the things like this. It was not in India, it was in Hungary. And Hungary's president, he was there. And someone, the president or the ambassador of India, and he came in and he's like this. I'm so sorry at that time. So the person of the power who was taking care of the president, he was just looking sorry. He just said, and the ambassador was also very sorry. So, really, sometimes they are shaking hands, shaking hands, "Thank you, oh God," which is some way of hand like this, and some way of hand is soft. So this was not for that. So, traditions of the humans always, like now, still remain in China, few in China's, but Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore's, this all and that. They all now again, the China's was giving hand, Indians giving the hand, now Europe also was giving hand second, but now God said. I should bring something again, back the knowledge, but knowledge is not easy to give someone. So now God said, "Okay, I will bring the tradition back." And what? Today, this illness was coming, that Corban. And everybody said, the Germans said, "Griskot. Danke schön. Danke." Yeah. So it was never said like this. So it was like this. And there is a tradition, which means there are certain things. The first is that you and me, we are one. And when we give the sake hand, like one hand, and you don't know, you give the one hand, but in the other hand, you... Have to? Yes, there are some times. So, therefore, both hands, my hands are empty, but it's for you completely. I humbly welcome you, you and me, in my heart. This is a feeling. Another thing, we don't know which kind of infections you have in your... Hands, and therefore we don't shake, but we give like this. So there are many, many traditions. When we go to the God, also we are going to the God, and like this. When we go to the Daoist, no more traditions are gone. But at least, at the time of peace, from the religions in the heart in the church, then they are not seeking a hand. It was when only he put your hand like this, the ring. And if then, if he gives you, then you will take his hand and symbolically kiss the ring of Jesus. That is like for Jesus from the Pope, and like this, and now these traditions are gone. After all, when the people are going from one country, you can see, and the Pope comes and they say, "Hello, woman, who is sick," and hug him. Okay, no problem, it is a hug. But there are certain traditions, and these traditions are very, very nice to know. And how is that God? How do we trust God? How will we trust? Let's say you can say Śaṅkarācārya or these others, and that in a similar way we can, the Pope and this. So there is a joke. It is a joke, but the joke is very good. You like that joke? And in that joke, you will get the truth out. We want the truth. I have done one other story also, thief, how to get out of the thief. It's a very good, it's a very good, simple, but I'm going to the, the piece of, not piece of, the father. Hope, and there were some thousands and thousands of people who came to Italy there and were standing. And there is always coming to bless the Pope. All are waiting, and little children are with them. And everyone has their devotion towards God and religion. There are still more people who are spiritual than others. And that is spirituality, what they believe. According to their belief, their religion, what it is. That's it. That's it. So the Pope should come exactly at four o'clock. And all is looking up. Now will come, now it will come. Now, no, no, nothing, no. Nine, ten, eleven. People are waiting. Of course, they know that maybe he's praying or doing something, and this. Eleven o'clock, eleven thirty, very hot, thirsty. Children were all looking, all looking. The Pope will come, come... Then comes one person, and he comes, makes like this, this side or this side, I don't know, okay, but doesn't matter, like this, this, and yes. So he said, "All my brothers and sisters, I have some message. What, what..." Tell, tell, so it is said: the father, the Pope, he has a heart problem. Many doctors are there inside, and these are there, said, "Yes, please, yes, please, we pray for him. We pour prayer for him, yes, wait." They went out again. He went out, and after half... An hour again, he came. They said, "He's okay or not?" He said, "It is serious. It is serious, but your prayers and everything is good, doctor. The surgeons, they are there, and they said, 'We need the heart, one heart of Jesus.'" They said, "Yes, then quickly tell the Pope." I will give, I will give. He said, "Who am I to say?" The Pope then said, "Take your heart. He will choose. Then go quickly, please." So again they come, and what people said, "Please don't make time away." He said again, and he said, "My heart, God, my heart." All was. Whole beautiful voice, he said, "No, no..." I go in again, then he came again, the father. The poem said, "Take this feather of the pigeons." And then he said, the father said, "Throw it there in the sky, sorry." And said, "Then leave it there. On whose head or chest it will fall down, not in." The hand, you should remain like this. Then, from that, you will take the heart of that person. That holy father will have, meaning he accepted your heart. That's a quickly, please, quickly. So he was standing there, and all said, "Quickly, quickly, my heart was..." And then he was letting this fire go like this, like this. And when the fire came close, he said, "My, my heart, my God, close came, my." So the Pope was healthy, there was nothing. Just to know how many really believe in my God and my Father. And so is also anyone, your master, your disciples, your anything. It is reality or not reality, and that will become the next Pope. Others, not. And that is because he, now different things, stories further, but that I will not give you. That is our present, private, you know. When I'm sitting here, me and Lakshman and these two, then we are talking ourselves, but there is nothing hidden. But they are saying what we can do, and so, anyhow, so will you? One guy will send you. We have to go to the park, and maybe that. Fina will not come on us, he will fall on the bush. Similarly, the faith that is, and that will be chosen as a guru. Now he is a guru. Bhagavān is very far and there. So maybe you have studied a lot, you have good knowledge, you have everything. And one is nothing; he did not learn anything. He is there, and will choose that heart as my, what you call, follower. Like this, there's another story, a beautiful story, very, very beautiful. One family had two brothers only, and they did not have a sister. This boy said, "We want a sister," and they said, "What can we do?" He said, "Mother, I have to have a sister, and this." So children are always like that. When they are big, maybe some, but some not, it doesn't matter. One brother is very intelligent, reading, learning, learning... Everything, university, diploma, this, that, everything. And the other one is like our Layalpuri. Everybody sees Layālpuri like he is sitting there. But he is very correct, and his heart is something big. Everything he is talking is from the heart. Or if I don't tell him, maybe we may take the Bhaktānanda. Anyhow, who is someone? Now, one brother became a temple worshipper. And he went into the forest. And in New York, here, there is a forest somewhere. And you have also, nowadays, your hills are just, no trees on it. But somewhere, okay, and so it is in the jungle. And near the one little, the ocean is there, but one, what we call the one corner of the ocean, belly. He went there, and there was a little Śiva temple. Shiva temple, little, and little Shiva, Shiva liṅgam. And this word, he's only making mantra, Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya. And morning and evening, he's giving water and prayers to Śiva. But he doesn't know any knowledge, but he knows about Śiva. His whole body, mind, soul, everything he dedicated to Shiva. The eldest brother, he's so angry. Why doesn't he study? I told him a thousand times, come to the school, learn this. But he said no. He's in the forest, sitting. One day, a brother came. Of course, it is your brother. So, brother came there, brought some fruits and this and that, and one nice cloth, sitting there together, having a picnic. And then it was midnight, no, midday. So the brother said, the youngest brother, "I have a pūjā to do of Śiva." He said, "Okay." But he was doing the pūjā, but not properly. He did not know what is a proper word, and then this and that, but he's doing something, elderly brother. You don't know what he's doing. Because the elderly brother is not that brother. Like Lakṣmaṇ Purī, all the time his eyes are closed. He doesn't know what Swāmījī is doing. Yeah? Yeah, that is it. Now I've made some mudra, you've forgotten. Yes, now you will never have that. So in the lecture, either you have open eyes, or you get out and lie down and sleep. There's no problem, okay? Now he said about some mantra: "Oṃ Tryambakaṃ, Śivjī Grahoṃ, Nama Nama, Śivjī Kariyam." And elderly brother said, "God, even he doesn't know the mantra of Śiva." So he said, "Your eldest brother said, 'My brother, come on.'" I teach you the mantra of the Śivam temple, pūjā. And he was three, and the youngest brother said, "Oh, brother, thank you very much." Now, I will have five times. He was Pooja's not of people; he was only three. Now, I will do the five times. Brother said, "I lost my brother." Youngest brother said nothing. Now he goes back, and brother goes way back, and there was a boat. In that boat he went, and the youngest brother is standing on the... Beach and looking to the, and his brother standing and looking on the boat. Then he, then it was about half a kilometer in there, that was it by the boat, the beach other side. And the youngest brother said, "I have forgotten the mantra what my father said now." My brother said, "Oh, God!" So he said, "Brother, brother!" But, of course, he can't hear so long. So what he did, he was running on the water, the youngest brother on the water. He was quickly, and brother said, "The principle of the principle." He says, "My brother." Walking on the water, and even I cannot sit properly on the boat. And he came, "Brother, brother, one mantra, can you tell me once more?" He said, "My brother, your mantras, what I tell is just nothing. Can you tell me what mantra you have, my brother?" He said, "Brother, I have no mantra, but I have in my heart my Lord, my God." And that's why I could run. Sometimes I can walk on the water. Why not? If it is real, I want to have it. Otherwise, I can't swim. So I was running like on earth. Similarly, that we need, if we have that respect, devotion, love—clear it is everything. You can't give anything but that. Is that, then, we are becoming one to that? And so, is this few stories? But there is a real. I had one in them when... Welling, no? And in Welling, I gave one story there. You know that, eh? Yeah. Which kind of story do you know? Do you know that story? Do you know the stories? Yeah? Yes? All were listening very good about the story of the master, and everybody was very happy how it is, no? Nāginwai. Are you sure, 10 days before, what did you eat at lunchtime? Only vegetables, that's it. We are vegetarian. So that is the story of the master and disciple. That was on that. So, how the master became the disciple and how the disciple became one with the master. So this story is that. Next evening, May, I will tell. So I thought that I will talk some lecture, but this is also a lecture on awareness. And we know that any lecture we hear, any professor, counselor, this one or that one, for one and a half or two and a half minutes we have concentration, then we don't have concentration. We will listen back, this and that, and we forget it. We have forgotten, but that story is there; that story will never forget. And therefore, there is another science: how to make the memory and all the knowledge and everything forever and ever you will be. Mother told the stories, the little sister told you the story, the brother's story, your friends told the stories, your father told the stories, all teachers told you the story; that will always be in the heart. But you give the whole lecture, like Nāgin Vaibhūti, and he read it, and he said, and then Swāmījī said, and then he said, "Now, do you know what you read?" Because we cannot read in the book. Yeah, the book is just to learn it, and then go within ourselves. So, yoga is a yoga which gives us that kind of knowledge, that we have to go in such a way within ourselves. And so, the story was that I began today, that we again we should say like that. And another thing is that we shake hands, we don't know what. Was on your palm, and you don't know what is in my palm, and this goes in their hand, and it goes into my hand. Therefore, now in China, they all begin to say it like this, and also it is said, "Hug." So the hug is, again, there is this energy, the infections, etc. But, of course, it is our child, our mother, our this we are hugging. But it was another tradition at that time, and the Japanese, the Japanese have more dear and very the techniques and tradition there. Maybe you know the Japanese here? Have you been? Japan, you have been to Japan? What did you see? Yeah, so when we go to someone's house, even if we have great, good friends, still we will come to the house, we will sit in vajrāsana and grow like this, and sit like that. Then the... In a household, they will say, "Please come, sit comfortably." Then you come from vajrāsana. Otherwise, all the times you are sitting in vajrāsana. This is a tradition, this is a knowledge, many, many things. So that is how we shall learn the practice. Of the yoga, I am not telling you that religion. I don't want of that religion. I don't want that tradition, but I would like to make that how we take in our all five principles. Five principles are that's called: one is annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, so manomaya kośa. Consider the body as the food-body, the annamaya kośa, sustained by what you eat. You must think like this. We will do everything, and so this body must be very powerful and peaceful. This is only one life, and it is only one. Do not jump here and there. And do not think, "I will not be there; I will be lost." You will be lost? Not lost. You will always be there. You will always be there. Just recently, a very good friend of mine from childhood—we were in school together—his parents were in Mumbai because his son has a shop there. The father was very old, and the mother was there too. The father died, and they brought the body to Rajasthan, to my mother's house and family. I was there. They prepared to take him. The wife—the boy's mother, and the wife of the man who died—she said, "Is he gone?" They said, "Yes." She said, "Then make a place for me." And there she was sitting. She finished. She died? No, she cried. She said, "Oh, he is going. I go with him." Really, really, this is no joke. It happened just about two months ago. They brought her to their village, Nīpal. They both, when they were married, they became husband and wife, a nice traditional couple, with cloth and much jewelry, and very nice, with some nice color on the hands and like this. Now they both made that boat. They were about 90 years old. They washed them and put them in nice dresses—the father's, their father or husband's dress—and also her beautiful, clean dress, the kind she had. They let them lie down on one... what do you call it? The śava is the dead body, but the coffin is a cloth. So there is one more, anyhow one. They were all singing bhajans, singing all kinds of that, as if they are married now again. They burned the body; we are doing that. Everybody was saying this, that both were like holy, both were holy. It doesn't matter that they are married and have children; that's okay, why not? There's no problem. But don't turn, jump here and jump there. Then it is not "jump here," it is "jump here." You know what is "jump here"? Jump here. They are hanging up this bird, and now the Chinese eat it, and yeah, jump, yes, yes. This is so. We are when they spoken that your words is your words, light is. Going Śakti is going with that is Śiva, Śiva, Śiva... Namo Śivāya Om, Namaḥ Śivāya Om, Namaḥ Śivāya. So I will finish one story more, okay? I never thought from my place where I... I am here to come to this story. Maybe I will teach you today Śīrṣāsana or something, but I said this seat, when you sit on it, it's not your power. It is the power of all our gods, our masters, the masters of us. This is the, like you have the creations, the chair. And this is the chair of Jesus, and this is the chair of the Pope. Anyhow, let's get Śiva. That's a beautiful night, and very, very painful. Yes, should I make it more painful or more? Yes, I have masalās. You know what is a masalā? Who doesn't know the masala, please hand up, so I can tell you masala. One, two, three, okay, very good. There are some who don't dare to say, "No problem." Masala is when we cook something, then we make something very nice, which we call masalas. Tasteful. Salt, but not too much salt. Chili, not too much chili. Tasteful. That's called masala, okay? And just you go, and a bite is nothing. Many people are making here. Now people have lost cooking. You make a big, nice bread, but you don't know how to do it. The people who were doing the bread, it was through and through packed. And now it is outside, like burning, inside is just like it, so masala that yes, we can say one name. I think somebody will do it already, because my videos, the whole world is listening, we can say the Masala Yoga Center, yeah, that's very good. This will be many Masala Yoga tests, yes, many people will go. Okay, anyhow, so this is one story. God has to play. God is not only like this. God has both in his hands. My Gurujī said, "In one hand, I have nice sweet laḍḍū." We say, "Then you can say ice cream is good, and on the other hand is a stick. What do you want?" So I said, "Gurujī, whatever you want." He said, "No, no, then put the ice cream on one side." So anyhow, that is something. Śiva was, when it was long, long ago in the very beginning, Śakti. Her name is Śakti. Śakti means the power. The motor of your car, the machine, the motor, has power. And how many horsepower? Now you don't say horsepower, maybe you say electric power. So that power, that's called the Śakti. Without Śakti, you cannot stand up. I told you a story in Wellington, but that's a very nice story, I will not tell you all. Then what will I do this evening? Everything is empty then. So this is a story that Śakti, that's a long, long story. And then Śiva's, her father's families, they were not very good to Śiva. Because Śakti was married to Śiva, and that story is longer. And there, somehow, for one ceremony, there's something, and her father did not invite Śiva. Then it doesn't matter. But Śakti, Śiva's wife and daughter of the king, was so angry she humiliated herself. She said, "Me and my husband," and she said, "Don't go, it's okay, no problem." But she said, "No, I will go and I will tell my father," and they were fighting, and there... Before already, she said, "Don't go, it's okay." Anyhow, they did not do this and that. Long, long story, and she fell in the yajñaśālā, the ceremony by fire. She fell in, sat there, and she died. All were angry, thirsty, and happy, and very sad. But anyhow, the message came to Śiva in the Himalayas, and Śiva was also a little angry. And Śiva took some of his hair and threw it on earth, and fire came, and out of the fire became a great, great devotee of his, or whatever it is—that I will not tell that also still—and said that she died, so he brought Śiva's wife, the Śakti in arms and brought her into him to a temple or in a Himalaya, there in the caves. And when Śiva saw that Śakti had died and this had happened, Śiva took her on his shoulder, and he, Śiva, disappeared into this space. That which is called the oneness of the friends, the husband, the wife, the mother, the parents, what kind of attachment or oneness we have to be. If humans live like this, there will be no problems and nothing. But that time, there were also Rakṣasas like that. And so Śiva took the power of Śakti on his shoulder, and he just defied. We don't know where it is. The space is endless, endless where it is. So again, they all, devas and bhaktas, come together and go to Brahmā. They said Brahmā has come and Viṣṇu. They said, "We don't know what to do, what to do." So they were some Viṣṇu, and everybody said, "Viṣṇu, please save us all and bring Śiva back." Śakti is not there, so Viṣṇu has in his hand the Sudarśana Cakra. Sudarśana Cakra gave the Śiva to Viṣṇu. For one big story, tomorrow I will give, evening maybe, you remind me. So, the Sudarśana Cakra is a cakra. It goes in the sky, but only Viṣṇu said, "Go there." Free the Śiva from the Śakti, and so about 52 pieces from the Sudarśana Cakra kill or cut 52 pieces of the Śakti, and that for all or there, which is in India, and there are that's called Śakti Pīṭha. Pīṭha means the seat, and so in many caves, a piece of the pīṭha was there. And so there is a 52 pīṭhas, there's a holy cell, and one should go there. You will feel how the energy is there. One pīṭha is very close to my... country, my district, Jaipur and Gujarat, and between there she was on the hill. Who is that? Koṇe? Which Śakti is that? Near the Bābā? Ambā Ben. So, her name is Ambā Ben. Still, there is a fire burning in the people for going to the oil and this. We should go there. We were climbing, but now there is a lift, and we should go and see that holy, divine Śakti. And my Indian Prime Minister, Modi, offered me, how many, about 200 hectares of land to make an ashram here. And I said, "Okay, I will do it." I said, "I have burdened so many ashrams, I have, I don't want to do." But if you wish, definitely I will bring you there, and you will sit there near the mother's cave. I will bring you there, and you will sit. And there, there is a night down there. There is one lady or man down somewhere in the hills, and we don't know how old she is. And she does not eat anything, not a drop of water. And she's living there, and she has, because she dedicated herself to Śiva, she has all the time female's dress. And one month, two months, six months, people came and kept her in one room with respect. She was there, no drinking, no eating, nothing. She's still there. Do you want to come with me? Yes, yes, really, it is not a joke. That is life still that. So Śiva came back, and Śiva was all happy, the God. So Śiva, then there was that Yuga, Alakpurījī, our grandmaster. Grand, grand,... grandmaster, Alakpurījī. And on the name of the Alakpurījī is a river called Alaknandā. And Alak Nandādevī, and she is the god, disciple of Alak Purījī. And so, like this story is going, okay. And so, Pārvatī, there was that king of the Himalaya, and every name of the king of the Himalaya is Śiva. But slowly, slowly, when Buddha came, and the Buddhas, they killed the Śiva king, and since that time, now the 14th generation or something, they are Buddha took over, and the one of you that you call them, um, their Dalai Lama, so Dalai Lama took over that kingdom, yeah, and there it was said that will be lost. And it is a lost, he's gone far anyhow. That is this story. Further, I will tell you again. There are many, many things to listen now. So, that king, his daughter was Gaṅgā and Pārvatī. So, river Gaṅgā, the name is from Śiva's daughter. Gaṅgā and Pārvatī, and she wants that she wants to marry Śiva, but nobody knows where is the Śiva, who is this Śiva? But she said, no. And she left, went somewhere. The king and his mother and all, they don't know where she is. So then someone said she is making tapasyā sādhanā like this in the forest of the Nanda Devī. And in Nanda Devī, there is the Śiva Liṅga. And there, Pārvatī is making sādhanā. And so that is Nanda Devī, who was the disciple of the Alak Purījī. And she was as one who is taking care of the cows, the shepherd. Come, always they are taking the test, who is real or not. And so one comes, a big tiger, and wants to kill the cows. So Nanda Devī, she became a cow. And she said, "Wait, I know you will kill me today and eat me, but before that, two promises: one, where I am here, there should be my temple." And that temple is there now. When we go to the Himalayas, we are going to see this darśan of that Nanda Devī's temple. It's not so big, but there. Second, I want to have my Gurudev's name with this river, and therefore this river is called Nanda Devī, Alak Nanda River. That's a holy river. In the literatures, in many, many ages, there's no joke. I tell you only half or little, what I know, but it is there. So there, when you are—we were in Alak Purījī's, there we all had this. There's not one door, not one gate, no bathroom, no toilet, no house, nothing, only rocks and rocks and government. It doesn't allow anyone to do anything. It's just like a forest, and a forest has no trees or anything like that. That is our Alak Purījī's tapasyā. Let's go further, because I have to finish the story of where I went. And so, Pārvatī, Śiva Pārvatī, and Gṛgācārya, the Ṛṣi Gṛgācārya, who made the ceremonies for Śiva and Pārvatī. That Gṛgācārya is my destiny, destiny, or what do you call it? Destiny or what? No, no, destiny. Ancestors. So my, my, all this great samāj, we are from the, from the gṛgācārya. Okay, that's going as a further. So, see Pārvatī's marriage, then finish, Haryam, everything. There were many, many things, but anyhow, Śiva had to marry, because Pārvatī was such a strong Śakti then. And so, now again, there is always a problem: male and female. Often, there is something, yes, or... No, sometimes, and there is a very good, so, Nārada Ṛṣi, Nārada, the father of Brahmā and all, there are many from Brahmā, but there is one, which is Nārada Muni. And Nārada Muni, he cannot stand more than five minutes or five seconds, and he goes away. Still, he is in the universe, and he always makes it a little bit real, but a joke. A real joke, but in a nice way, and then we will be fighting. And the fighting means we will come to the truth again. So Śiva went for a walk, let's say, in the Himālaya somewhere. And Nārada is coming. He is in the sky all the time. He comes down and, "Mother, Mother, Pārvatī, Mother, Mother." And Pārvatī said, "Oh, how did you come here?" He said, "Mother, I just want to have your darśan, and I'm going." And then he said, "Where is the Śiva?" She said, "Śiva went for a walk. Oh, pity." I cannot stay more than two or three minutes. Then I have to go again, Nārada said. And Nārada knew that Śiva would make trouble for him, so he went away. Śiva came, and now Pārvatī is a little bit angry. So Pārvatī said to Śiva, "Nārada said, Nārada, why so many malas on the heads of the humans? Why?" She said, "I don't know." Then ask, "Be sure, maybe he will hang you also." And he went, and she told this and this. And Śiva said, "Don't ask me, I will not." She said, "Please, you have to take it. Not necessarily you will be unhappy." She said, "No." Then he said, "Dear, you know how many had skulls of the humans? And these are all..." Śaktis, and I love them all. They are mine, and that's why they are hanging in my mala. That's my mala. So it means you were hanging me here also, he said. I didn't say you, she said. Why? And why are you not dead? He said, I am immortal, then. "Why don't you make me immortal?" He said, "Do me." He said, "Yes, but a sādhanā, a practice. Be the disciple, and it doesn't matter what happens. You will become like that." Otherwise, you gush up here and gush up here. Pārvatī said, "No. Please tell me this vidyā, the knowledge, how to become immortal like you." He said, "I cannot." She said, "You have to do it." Please, please. He said, "I can do it. I will choose some cave or some place where no one can see and hear, even a little bird cannot hear." And so it happens that there is one very nice cave near Kashmir, India, and for one month or ten weeks, there are people going to their cave to see. That day is coming, the snow, and it's like a Śiva pūjā. So Śivajī said, "Okay, I will sow on that day." Do you know what egg is there? He said, "Nobody." Śiva said, "I go to samādhi and give you that liberation forever and ever, but you should not sleep." Then he said, "Very long, this mantra." So, if you sleep, then you are lost. He said, "How?" He said, "Just you said yes, yes, yes. I tell something, and you should say yes. And like that, disciples have to always tell the Master, 'Yes, thank you.' Yes, otherwise you are lost." Around about three o'clock at night, Pārvatī was so tired, and she leaned her head on the shoulder of Śiva. But Śiva is in other consciousness. And there was one parrot in the very cold and snow. There he was sitting. And he heard Śiva. He got knowledge. And that parrot said, "It will be a big, big mistake if this Vidyā, this knowledge, is gone. I am listening all the time," he said. And now, Mother Pārvatī, she is sleeping. And Śiva said, "I will be lost." So Pārvatī said, "Yes." Yes, yes, and the parrot said, yeah, yeah,... exactly, giving a long voice. And when the sun is rising and Śiva is coming, Om, and Pārvatī is sleeping. Śiva is so angry. Sometimes, you know, man is angry and woman is angry. Śiva said, "You lost everything." He said, "The science knowledge is gone. But you were all the time saying, 'Yes, yes, yes.'" The parrot said, "I was it." He ran away. And Śiva took his triśūla and flew behind the Śiva point. Here, there, here, there, here, there. Came near the Ālagpurījīs. There is that, the Ṛṣi Vyāsa. And Vyāsa was going walking somewhere, and his wife was waiting, thinking that her husband would come and make food. And the son was going down, and Vyāsa came back. But his wife, they are all, they will not eat till the husband will not come. And she was waiting and waiting, and what? She was tired, his wife, and she said, "Oh," and the parrot said, "This is the best safety for me, in this stone." And now Śivajī said, and he wanted to put his triśūl, and the ṛṣi said, "Lord Śiva, please, pregnant woman." Śiva said, "Okay." And now, that is this parrot we call that papaya, papa. And now he is in the stomach, but he doesn't want to come out. And Śahara is getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And all, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, all said, "Please come." But he said, "No, I don't want to come again to the saṁsāras. Here, Paul, I want to come to the heaven, the supreme. I don't want anything. This is my mother, and forever and ever. Or give me all in this world. This would be the mokṣa. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, all others. They said, "Yes, we will give the liberation." All will be liberated. And then he was born, that who became the ṛṣi. What was the Manu? What was his name? Not Manu. Okay. Śukadeva. The Sukhdev Ṛṣi. In the Vedas, the name of the Sukhdev. Sukhdev came, and he was only five years or something. And again, the Māyā in the Saṃsāra began. So he was so angry: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, his parents. Why did you let me out then? So he went into the forest and he wrote many, many,... Many great, great, great books and this, that is the stories of the ṛṣis. We don't know. Nobody knows, but you don't know what kind of miracles are happening here. That's it. And so, ṛṣis, that is a sādhanā, not your books, but bhakti, love, harmony. It comes, it will come. And therefore, this story is a true story, not in life. Even Vedavyāsa, writing 18,000—hundred, yeah, no—18,000 ślokas he's writing in the book. And one little part is the Bhagavad Gītā. And that was from those Ṛṣis and Śukadeva Muni. So, my dear, there are so many stories of the great scriptures of the very, very great ṛṣis. That is real yoga. It doesn't matter. We must not have a thousand, but even a hundred is enough, or one is enough. My Gurujī said, "A hundred goats and one tiger is more than enough." Yes? Therefore, you are that one nice tiger. Don't worry, but your confidence is there. You don't know what will happen. There are many, many other stories. So this was very good. I'll satsaṅg and wish you all the best evening. We will come to the other. Lecture: Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Deva Puruṣa Mahādeva Satguru Svāmī Mādhavān Bhagavān, and you can buy these scriptures. They are, they are... Written in Sanskrit, in Hindi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, it is available. English is a little less, and many things in English they have put out when the British came. And the Muslims did—the Muslims have killed so. Many were burned, all the holy scriptures of the Hindus. How many? One year? How many were burning? All the scriptures were burned. That was sometime. Humans are neither—you are neither Hindu nor Muslim. Neither inside, in the case I... we are only humans. We are only humans. That day when all will feel their love, then it is you and your wife and your family. Is this okay? Of course, other families, is it okay? Opaque? Why not? But we are a beautiful city, and in our city all people are good and happy. So, what is that? What is that? So that story, and there we go also for a holy journey, and there is snow coming from, and there remains the Śiva Liṅga. And many, many... I was there once, long ago. So it was a story of the 52 pieces of the Divine Mother Śakti. And it's there. Those who have the feelings and devotion, you will see. You see that light, if you can see that the Jyoti of the near Gujarat and Rajasthan, And Ambā Devī, there is light, very beautiful, and they now made the temple down, very big, nice temple. So where the scriptures' statue is there from down, and on the hill you have the light when they are making prayers in this.
