OM ŚABDASĀ PRABHUSARAN PARĀYAṆAM OM NAMO SERĪ PRABHUDĪ PARĀYAṆAM OM NAMO SERĪ PRABHUDĪ ŚRĪ DĪP NĀRĀYAṆ BHAGAVĀN KĪ Good evening to all dear bhaktas, all yogīs, and all other humans who are contemplating. What will happen to us? Many, of course, do not take any care. They say, "When it happens, it will happen." But most of us are thinking not only for ourselves but for all—not only in India, Italy, or America, but the whole globe where humans reside. My thought is this: each and every creature is a child of God. Therefore, we must respect and care for them too, not only for humans. For all creatures and all vegetation, all forests, everything. Then we can say that yes, we humans are now living in peace and harmony, leading a very peaceful life. Yoga is the way, but yoga is a way for good health. And health is not only wealth; it is life for all. We should first think of all creatures and what is happening through humans to humans. You see, 99% of all creatures are not affected by such a disease. Why not? We should think why it came and why it is affecting only humans. Humans are living beings, and other creatures are also living beings. But we humans did not respect, and we do not respect, all other creatures. We think they are only food for us. That is not God. He did not create them for that. Perhaps animals are suffering. If someone kills it just for a second, then okay, but torturing them, causing them immense and immense pain—maybe that is why it came. It does not matter how it came, perhaps through humans. It is due to human stupidity that we are torturing all animals and just eating them. It is said by the ṛṣis that we should have only sāttvic nourishment and only that which we get, like falling fruits. We have some vegetables called Jadībūtī, Vanaspatī, and Būtī. These all give to us. When a plant's life is complete, then we can take the roots, the whole branch, or everything. Also, regarding animals, if an animal dies, then you may eat that. But God did not say, "Kill this and eat this." That is criminality. Therefore, in India, we all believe in everyone. But unfortunately, from some other countries and different places, they have given the habit, and we see that we should eat meat and this and that. Otherwise, in Bhārata, in India, only those near the ocean were taking fish. That's all. And even there, they did not want to eat it always, because on the beach there is a lot of vegetables and fruits and everything. So it means that in Kali Yuga, or any Yuga at the end, something like this happens. Our Prime Minister, India's Narendra, that Narendra, he is great. Now the whole world, all Prime Ministers and others, have accepted the ideas and thoughts that Modijī said. Similarly, you all, my dear, are vegetarians. For the last 52 years, throughout all of Europe, those who learned and understood that have sent love and confidence to the animals. They only take as house animals what we call pets. So the animal is not a pet like this. Okay? So we have a carpet. Your animal is not a carpet. Let them be free. Of course, many people will give their own life but will not let you kill their dog or little mouse, etc. But what about others? When you kill that, you don't want to kill one dog, but you are eating other dogs. So think about that: home animals or wild animals. They are the same, and they deserve respect. We need our trees for oxygen, a lot of oxygen. We need greenery so that our earth stays cool. You know how many times now in one year, here or there, an earthquake occurs. Why is the earthquake so frequent? Because all forests are destroyed. Also, there are many problems with what we are doing with the water, etc. Therefore, Gurujī said that we should learn: all one, one in all, and all in one. All are God's, and all are from God. God does not want to kill them, and God does not want to save only humans. Do not think that only we matter. Therefore, we always pray for animals, for the forest, for the ocean, for the earth, for wildlife, and of course for our humans. Yoga is that, not only these āsanas and prāṇāyāmas. Yoga is great, different from this. But it is said: if there is no body, there is nothing. So the body is nothing, but without the body, nothing is there. Therefore, keep your body healthy. Yesterday, or this morning, I saw a webcast or on Facebook: one woman, one sister, maybe she was a doctor or something, and she gave such a talk. She explained how we can be healthy and how we are getting ill. She said, "Whatever you eat, solid food, not meat, not fish." She never said that, because that is nothing for humans. But, as we said, if you eat your chapatis, your rice, etc., for one meal, digest it for 16 hours. But we eat something, after 10 minutes we eat something else, after that we eat something, after we drink something—so all this is in the stomach. She was explaining very nicely. I would tell you that we will bring this information; it is from a doctor. If we eat fruits, then for fruits it is five hours, four hours; in four hours you can digest. Similarly, it was a great explanation. What we are eating, we do not take care. All our inner organs are in the trunk of the body, and the trunk of the body contains all organs. All these organs have activities in the body, and they want to work. But before they finish their work, we are putting food in again, and again, and again. Like in building: there are bricks, now there is cement, now there is this and that. Everything—what should we work with? Yes, so if we do systematically, then it will be solid. Our body will be solid. That was a very good talk this morning. I liked it very much. Similarly, we have to practice yoga. Yoga in the Bhagavad Gītā also: yoga is that which we do, all our activities. I think, among the many yogīs, of course, some may be much better, but the one who is demonstrating personally is what we call Rāmdev. I really respect that. He said, "Do prāṇāyāma, do prāṇāyāma." That is why I am doing this. But it will also be gone. It does not matter how much you take care of your food, how you take care of your movements, how you take care of your family, who will take care of your money. One day, everyone will leave and go, like a musāfir (traveler). So where is he going? Which kind of yoga, which kind of sādhanā will we do? There are many sādhanās; one is doing Śakti pūjā, one is doing Bairū pūjā, Hanumānjī pūjā, but this is not that one. If we want to achieve, then follow your Guru. But the paramparā of the Guru: one Guru will come. He will be very good, very great. He speaks everything. That Guru has many disciples. But now the Guru is giving up his life, or you can say he is dying, whatever you say. It means that one guru comes from this country, across the border, to go to another country. You are standing there, and they say, "I am going, let's say, to Australia or Austria." But already at the border of India, in New Delhi, they say, "Yes, sir, where is your passport?" I have no passport, I cannot go. They say, no, go back. Similarly, that passport is a guru's. The guru is that; he has that, he can go further and further. Therefore, maybe you become like a guru; you have all knowledge about that. But you have no passport, my dear. You are a very great person of this country. You can stay in this country, but you cannot cross the border because you did not show your passport. And you will say, "Let me go." Then, other countries will say, "Where is your passport, my dear?" Pull him out. That's it. Therefore, guru paramparā is very, very important. Some people are doing, how to say it, like we are eating, how? We go to a restaurant, or we come to India. Or there are Europeans who also have this, like when they have their birthday or marriage day or anything. Then they put a variety of little different kinds of food on the table. What can I eat? This? Or should I do this? Hmm, this is also good. But there are some countries that have different customs, so what? Are they doing something? They take a little, and then take another. That makes a scandal, cheating. Very good, my God. In some countries, they do not touch when they serve us, and then you can eat. You will not make them like this and take from them like that. Why? That is okay, but infections. That was always the practice because, before going to the table, wash your hands and mouth so that your mouth is good and fresh and your hands are clean. Then we eat our meal, and afterward, though people eat with a knife and fork, even then you should wash your hands and mouth. Many people here in India also now say, "I didn't touch anything without that." It is not about that touch, but that test, and that test, what you did not respect, you take within yourself. So always, you know, when I go to Austria, or Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, mostly—let's say I am going to Austria—sometimes, of course, I will go to the hospital. I had some time with a heart issue, or this and that, and I see the purity and cleanliness in Austrian hospitals. The doctor will wash his hands like this and like this, use sprays, and then he does not touch anything. The nurse comes, and she puts a glove inside the gloves here also, and then again he will say he does not touch anything still, even with gloves. Then they make like this and close the door. All cloths are green, and one instrument the doctor has touched, he will not take the same again. The nurse immediately takes it and cleans it, bringing a new one. That is what I see in Austria, in Europe, in the hospitals. In India now also like this, but some, at that time—I do not want to say this—but there are many, many hospitals in India that are also following what Europeans did, but when they come out from the operation theater, then they go sit and eat cheese and everything. This is a changing of that, which is not good. Therefore, let us come to purity, and it is only once, oh human, we do not know what you will become. Again, a human, you do not know where you will come. You see so many. I do not know, but in Europe, they are learning sometimes some words, you know, like, what do they call it, a pig? And they say, "This is like a pig, yes." They respect very much that this is a pig and we are human, and very good. But some are doing like this, and here also many are like this. So we have to get purification. Once you have respected and accepted it in your family, in your friend, in your husband, in your wife, in your children, then you should know that this will be my path and that will go this way. It is not, but it is life. And life is not for desires. Desires are just nothing, but life goes further. Life goes further, and that means when we have the eyes, we can go through that light. Otherwise, we are in the dark. You know, Gurujī told many very good stories. There was a big hall, like we have this hall. There were two doors, and a blind man came inside. He sat there. After he got up, he had a stick. He got up, went straight in one direction, and touched the wall. With his left hand he has a stick, and his right hand is on the wall. That blind man went with his hands on the wall, going slowly, slowly... He is going out to get out of the door, and when the door came, what happened? That blind man was walking slowly, but he had an itch on his head, so he took his hand from the wall and was scratching and going further, and again he put his hand on the wall. The door was gone. Further, he is going and going and going. He came again to the door, and that time he was itching on his armpit, and then again, but he is walking. So again, the door was left. Again he was walking, and he came again near the door, and he said to himself, "My God, how long is this wall? I want to go out." And again he put his hand on the wall. There was one man who said, "My dear, you lost three times your door." And that man said, "Blind one, are you stupid?" We are blind men, but we are more clever than you. All the times we touch our walls, and I want the door. He said, "Yes, but how many times did you put your hand away from the wall?" He said, "No." He said, "You did." He said, "No." "Can I tell you?" He said, "Yes, my dear friend, you were scratching your head, and it is only a one and a half meter step, but the door is bright." Again, you put your hand on the door, which was not a door, but there. And again, you came, you were itching on your armpit. Again, you lost that way, and then you were screaming. When you came near the door, you said, "My God, how long it is?" You lost again, my dear. Similarly, we humans also think we are good. "I will do everything. I will enjoy everything. I will find this. I will enjoy my itching on my head, or on my scalp, on my armpit, or on my stomach, or with..." The walking stick, or holding and sitting down something—similarly, humans are always changing: changing the body, changing the feelings, changing the profession, also the knowledge, also the spiritualities. Everything. And then you are nowhere. Therefore: Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ. Then what? Dhyāṇa mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ. Concentration there; all this that you are doing is just nothing. Hanumānjī is great, but he has limitation. The Durgā Śakti or anything has limitation. Śiva also has limitation. Śiva himself created and came. Now he is inside. Now he is in the middle of the ocean. Shiva does not know which side he should go. And when he tried to rake, little white comes where? Big, big, big fish. What is it called? Shark. And it pulls Hanuman to Śaṅkara Śiva’s back. Shiva said, "Please leave it." Again, he comes out, Shiva, and then he goes. A cobra comes to his neck. Yes, cobra said, "My lord, be careful, I can check you like this." Shiva said, "Yes, please be on my shoulders." Shiva also has to run. You know what the story of that is? There was one man who was doing a sādhanā, and he said, "I want to be immortal." So there was no one. Brahmā came. Brahmā said, "I can give you everything, but I cannot give immortality. Tell me how long you want to live, this, that." So he said something. Okay, then who can give you? Shiva will give. Okay, so he went to Śiva. Śiva said, "I give you blessings." And the blessing is this: I give you, he said, give me the miracle. So Shiva said, "Okay." He told him, "You are the king who was this." He said, "I give you one technique, only not more. If you put your hand on someone's head, it will be burned, just nothing." He said, "Thank you, Śiva. Great you are, the Śiva." And then Śiva was going, and he, the rākṣasa, became... He said, "No, no... Shivaji, you cannot go away." He said, "Why? I do not know. Are you truthful or not?" He said, "Shiva is always truthful, but I cannot respect you. I want to test." He said, "What? Because you told me that anyone's head, if I put my hand there, that will burn. Therefore, Shivaji, I will test on your head." And then, you know how that was? Hanumānjī was walking. Śambhrama, Śivajī, and cobra is like this, and man is Śivjī going this side, Śivjī going this side, and Vorekṣa is going there. It came to the cave, and in the cave there was Bhagavān Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu was there inside, and Śivjī came. So Vishnu said, "Gurudev, prāṇāyāma is two parts. You practice two strong prāṇāyāmas today, Gurudev." He said, "No, no,... please save me." What happened, Gurudev, Lord Śiva, what happened to you that this has happened? Okay, now the demon cannot come in. Shiva is sitting there, Bhagavān Viṣṇu is watching, and Rākṣasa is standing outside. So, Viṣṇu Bhagavān, from the other side, he became a woman. Most people say, "Beautiful woman." Yeah, the beautiful woman, I do not know what is beautiful. But it is all beautiful. I would say all women are beautiful. And men, more beautiful. But sometimes it is this and that. So that Viṣṇubhagavān went on the rock and was dancing, "Chink, chonk, chink." Then Śrī Akṣasa said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am Apsarā." "Apsarā?" "Yes." Then he said, "Can I dance with you?" He said, "No, first you have to learn. First you learn, then you can." He said, "Will you teach me?" "Of course, with my great joy, I will teach this, and you will be like that." He said, "Okay." And Śiva, he said, "Forget Śiva, poor man. He gave you good things." And let him go. Then he said, "Okay, then teach me how to dance." Then Vishnu said, "I am on the rock, and you will be far there, so you see me how I am doing. Oh, my god." And Vishnu Bhagavān said, "Dance." The Rākṣasa, I do not know what his name was—Bhashmada, his name was Bhashmada. So he said, "Dance in this." And Vishnu said, and so. And then he said also, and Vishnu said, and this. Bhīṣmada put it here. O Gayā es. Khatam. And Bhagavān Viṣṇu āte hai. And Śivajī says, "Viṣṇu, thank you very much. You saved me." So this is Brahma, Viṣṇu and Śiva. They are playing such a game. So that also, Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam. Therefore, it is that many, many things are happening. Therefore, Guru Paramparā will bring us there. We all were on the wrong way. We were born in the wrong way, maybe. Then we had a wrong way, too. From birth, they gave us some different kind of milk, then gave me some meat, then this and after that, and after that. Poor children do not know what they should do after that. He went to one person, then went to a third person: one girl, a second girl, a post boy. Then the Guru comes with this stick. Daṇḍa kartā hai ṭhaṇḍā. What is ṭhaṇḍā? Cool. When this is a Guru kā, har ek Guru kā, yā Śiv jī kā, taluslā kā jo hai, yeh jo hai, iske andar mein śakti hai. Aur kitnī wo Guru is śakti ko pakaḍ ke rakhtā hai. Yeh śakti us Guru ke hāth mein hai. And if he leaves it, and someone does something like that, then Shakti, in one danda, we will turn Shakti into Bhakti. Therefore, disciples should also have one danda. What is a daṇḍa? Not this daṇḍa, this, like this. This is a physical one, but you should have a daṇḍa, meaning tell yourself, tell your thoughts, love to yourself. My body, my ātmā, my thoughts, my everything must be under my control. That which you have, discipline, is called this daṇḍa. And where there is no discipline, we see for one day discipline, next week you are different. That's it. So, Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam, Gurudev, Gurudev,... Gurudev.
