This śloka, this bhajan, this mantra—whatever we understand or take into our heart—brings immense peace and harmony. That is why we always chant some kind of mantra first. Language does not matter. It can be Sanskrit, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, German, or any language. There is a language that comes out of the human vocal cords from the brain, shaped by the mother tongue. The difference is that one says "Om" and another says "Arihom", yet all is the same. One says father, one says pitā, one says uncle, and so on. Language exists, and therefore nearly every religion acknowledges it. Everyone can speak about every religion, but some people prefer not to speak about other religions, only their own. Mahātma Gāndhījī used to sing one song, one bhajan, but of course Gāndhījī was different. He was not in a temple; he was in his āśram, and in his āśram he was very free because he understood everyone. There is an āśram in Gujarat, on the Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad. The Sabarmati is a beautiful river, flowing in the monsoon time. Many years ago, our Prime Minister Modī Jī brought water from another river—not Gaṅgotrī, but Narabdha. There are so many rivers, and they are all feminine: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Jamunā, Sarasvatī, and many more. All these rivers are sources of purification. They are soft, they are flowing. The Gaṅgā comes from the Brahmaloka, the realm of Brahmā, and all these holy rivers flow upon what we call Bhāratmātā. Bhārat is the name of a great king, and Māta is mother, and also mother earth. So the mother flows on this earth, within the earth, and above the earth. These rivers exist, bringing purification from their very source all the way to the ocean. She brings first water for everyone—that no one may be thirsty: humans, animals, birds, fish, and many others, as well as vegetation and trees. Mother Earth herself also needs water. Surfaces may appear dry, but as we can see, the whole earth has water inside. This earth is very large, yet the oceans are four times larger. You know, everybody says that the earth is like a kind of pot with just a little lid. That lid is only a very small amount compared to our dāl, and yet the ocean is many, many oceans. That which we call "Mahā" means high, very big. And so this Bhārat has a big, big ocean: Mahā Bhārata, Mahā Sāgara. Mahā means mother, Mahā means wide, great, big. And as a mother, she gives everything. The water flows there, and it is a vast, vast river: Mahā Hind Sāgar. This is the ocean of the Hindus. And that earth stretches from here to Australia. When I fly from Delhi or Mumbai, we take off, pass through Singapore, and all this is Rāma’s kingdom. Many, many temples of God Rāma, many, many festivals about God Rāma—everything is there. Further, we come to the touch of Australia: Perth. I always land at Perth, and when I see Perth landing the aeroplane, how wide the ocean is, and the sand is so white, beautiful, very clean, and the beach is so far—hundreds of kilometers of very nice beach. And of course, there is everything, but there are sharks welcoming you. The shark’s nose is long and its mouth is down, so it cannot bite you this way; you have to turn like that, and there are many, many teeth, just like a ring. Sometimes I go to the ocean, but only up to my thighs, because of those sharks. They said, “Oh, my Indian Swāmījī,” so I didn’t want... I say, “Yes, welcome you all,” but the water is very deep with very heavy waves. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp. Ardh is the mother. We are between this, so everywhere there are seven biggest oceans. Can we know how far that is? Our whole globe—when we fly, then mostly we are flying over the ocean, and they block the windows, making them dark. You sleep, and sometimes we look out, there is nothing to see. Purījī, Purījī… Sometimes people joke; scientists talk about this and that. And then I have to make people laugh, make them smile—not only smile but laugh, and not only laugh, they end up hurting their stomach. Yes, happiness, why not? In an aeroplane there are 300, 400, sometimes 500 people, and everyone has a lot of food to eat and water—Coca-Cola, Tola, Pola, sparkling water, soda water, Śrī Śrī... Mostly, Indian people are laughing because Indians are joyful, jolly. Why should we sit there like that? They get up and move around, and then the hostess tells the pilot, “That’s all.” And he says, “Please sit down. This is a long Asian journey.” Twelve hours, so then they are coming. Kumbha Mahāprabhujī, dip karatā. Kumbha Mahāprabhujī, dip karatā. Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam, Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam, Mahāprabhujī Karatā. It’s okay. But at that time, myself too—when it’s going like this, my permanent driver in the British style, somewhere with a white car, drives on very wild roads, like this. It’s okay, but my aeroplane is five times more. Oh, God. Kya Kareṅgī? What will we do now? Mahāprabhujī, please, Devpurījī. Kālī Gurujī, please, let my Om Āśram complete. Yes, that is. How high? Nearly about 11,000, 12,000 feet. And the speed is nearly about 9 point something, or 10,000. Once a chick, always a chick. Before we come down, we become like a pāpaḍ. Who will eat this pāpaḍ? The shark. So, what does this come to in sādhanā? What we are doing first is to learn and understand our body. And we should always remember that we are human. Animals are also animals, birds are also birds, and fish are also—they are happy and unhappy. Birds are unhappy, animals are unhappy, all creatures are unhappy and also very happy. Joy exists, and humans are also unhappy and unhappy. However, it is said that until the day you give up the idea that you are afraid, that you are fearful, that you are in darkness, how will you know where you are? In your stomach there is boiling happiness or joy, anger, jealousy, hurts, this and that. Animals also have this. But you see, humans have that kind of energy that no animal wants to have. Human energy—no animals like it. Animals will respect other animals. For example, a tiger is sitting, and a beautiful bird sits on his head or his neck. The lion doesn’t care, but the same bird, if you are sitting even peacefully in meditation—have you ever seen a bird sit on your head? Or on your shoulder? At most, the bird will sit on a tree and drop something on your head. That’s it. All animals can go together. There are different ones: cats, snakes, and when they have eaten properly and enough, then they will not kill anyone. But humans, they eat, and they take more with them—that is everything. So, humans, animals will not take something home to eat later. Purījī, Purījī… Pūrṇiya and Pāp. Pāp is what we call sin, and happiness is a good thing. But for animals, there is no Dharma or Adharma. Dharma is religion; Adharma is the absence of religion. But animals have no such thinking: “I will be a sinner or a righteous person.” The animals don’t know this. But they have love—so much love. If we do, you cannot imagine. We have three beautiful dogs. At dawn, the lady of the house wakes because of the dogs; she gets up, washes herself, and then goes to the dogs and sees how loving they are. They jump on her, this and that. You see, I always say: when you have one dog at your house and your husband comes home, and then your wife comes home—what will the dog do? He will not jump on the husband’s wife, but he will come to her. Then suddenly the woman comes, she gives the man away, and the dog jumps on her. They don’t want to make dirt; they don’t know what dirt is. Purījī, Purījī… We hug them. We received fire, the friends, but we love those animals, and they like it also. So where is this feeling that humans have, but humans don’t know? Animals said, “I cannot trust the human.” Yes? But a house pet—the situation is not very good for the animal. We keep house pets, and they also have pets in the car. Why do you have a pet in your car? You have a pet at home. Yogījī, you have a pet at home, but why do you have a pet in the car? I can’t understand. You always have a pet in the car. Yes, the carpet. And that’s it. Animals can make us very happy too. And you can’t imagine how happy humans also become. Some may not. It’s okay. In an aeroplane, something is very good, and everyone is laughing. One, two, three, let me sleep, but I can’t. What happens? What happened to me this morning? I was laughing and running this and that in my room. And then the Agni Devī came to my flat. She said, “What? What?” I said, “Look, I’m so happy! What? Our horse, Mummy, gave a little baby.” Now she’s still giving, and we are happy, and we are also afraid. I hope everything is okay. And this baby, a horse baby, and I said, “I pray that it will be a girl.” Other men said, “No, it will be a good boy.” But I said, “We need...” And then the baby came out. My driver was going; we called him, “Please come quickly.” The florist goes there and comes back, and she goes near the horse and then comes back. She was completely out, yes? She’s calling, yes? Then our Poker comes, and he is a strong-bodied man, and so he—both legs were already out, the face also—so he brought it out. And the other three, four, three other horses, it is very interesting, and they are all over my āśram, you know the horses, and they are all standing there, all these three, and the fourth one was giving the baby, and they are all standing, and their grand, grand, grandmother elephant of the... my horse, mommy, daddy, yeah, didi, daddy, daddy... yeah, but to take you, you know what you call that? A grandmother, Babuchka, Babuchki, Babuchki, Babuchka, Babuchki. Yeah, I have Babuchkis in Canada, in Vancouver. They are all there. When I go, I say, “The Babuchki.” They are more than babushkas. They are birds, like, okay, anyhow, so all they are. And now, Poker was trying to bring the baby out, and the horse is coming near. He said, “Go away.” And they went away again. And they came again, and he brought it. Other horses again went away. But the grandmother, she came near, and he tells his granddaughter. See, it was so beautiful. Now, he can’t get up. I was so sad. Because a horse wakes up quickly, it stands up. Any animals, except buffalo, the cow also stands up very quickly. And cow babies say, like mother. And he said, “Ma, Ma, yes.” Anyhow, let’s go further there. So, our grandmother there, what is her name? Mahima. She again smelled; Pocket takes away, then she came slowly and smelled, and then she went and stood, how happy she was also, all. My dear, you see, everyone is happy when you have a little mouse at home, and how happy you are. So happiness is everywhere. But then I came to my room, and he was still sleeping there, lying there. I was sad. I hope that his legs are in order, the back leg. But then he put it and took it on his horse table. And his leg is so high like this, exactly so high. So how will his legs be here? He will be very high, beautiful. Now he sees very well. So all people are happy with the animals too. And those you don’t like, they don’t like that too. So we don’t go there. Anyhow, so life to the animals—that is why we love the animals. It must not be only in our room, must not be in our pocket, must not be in a garden; but we should save the animals. You know that every Guru Pūrṇimā, I try to always take one saṅkalpa. So: protect the honey bees. The bees are slowly, slowly dying. And one day you will see what you will end up with: two things. First, you will have no fruits. No fruits. No bees, no fruits. Because bees come to the flowers and take the pollen. Will you go like this? No. No honey. When there is no honey, there is no funny. No honey, no fun. Therefore, sometimes on this screen they will show us pictures. These are the bees, like that. The people will see, “Ah, the bees are like this,” and we will see in the pictures—now we have honey, but only in photos, in film, on the screen. Children will say, “Oh, mummy, I want more. Hey, mummy, there is no honey.” She puts so much poison, and hundreds and thousands of bees die in one day, two days. Second: save the birds. There are really very few birds left because of all these poisons: pesticides, everything. When we spray animals, vegetables, or crops, all bees die, all different kinds of creatures die, earthworms die, vegetables die, and birds cannot survive because birds eat and then birds die. So there will be no more. Three years ago, in our āśram, there were about 36 or 62, 76 birds in our Jadān āśram. And suddenly came the cats, and day by day, many, many died. They are sleeping like this, but without that it is also not possible. Birds and cats are good, very beautiful. Always, they come and they are touching your thighs and your knees, and the tongue goes like this. Yes, they are so beautiful. You know, my father loved the cat, my mother also loved the cat, but my father loved the cat, and my mother is loving the cat because there were so many mice coming, and so she is in the room, a little house—not so big a house like Jadan—so always they are coming, and we are feeding them. Śrī Śrī... They frame things. Mostly they are sleeping with the pet, not with your husband or with your wife. Yes, that’s good. Why not? Yes. They are beside; the cats are so nice, they make like this. Yeah, they are very nice. Cats are very nice. Oh, but a cat is a cat. Some are suffering because of this cat. Why? It’s my cat, and why are you suffering? Because the neighbor is allergic to the cat, and the cat is always thinking so—there are things we have to understand, my dear. All is very, very good. So our sādhanā: how to become happy first? First happy, but you must not only be happy yourself; the others should also be happy in that way. Therefore, we give them how everybody... but those who are having physical or psychic problems, they are ill. And someone who has psychic problems may take some animals, and those animals are very good, and really, they love them. I had under my bed—in my house in Australia, in Dungong—my house is about 50 square meters, a wooden house. Mahāprabhujī kī karatā, Mahāprabhujī kī karatā. I’m not under my bed. So now we put it in net. He was big, about so long, about two point something. And so we had one very nice woman, a girl, she was a teacher. And unfortunately, her husband died. So she was sad; her husband died, and she was angry and alone. So she liked snakes, and she took a python and was petting it, and it was very nice. She was giving food, and he was sleeping with her, meaning beside her, in Jaipur. It’s a truth, not a joke. Now it happens that she was always sleeping like this. And every day she slept next to him, and she gave up eating. After three days, she took this snake to the veterinarian. But they said something else to me. I am saying veterinarian, they said. Okay, so the veterinarian there said this and this. He said, “Did he lie down beside her?” She said, “Yes, give it to me, your snake.” And he took it somewhere in the... She said, “Why?” He said, “Tonight was your last night.” “Why?” “Because the last two days he’s been measuring you, and how he will make it like this, and then...” Swallow it. So love sometimes is also different. Similarly, we have with us someone who is addicted to alcohol, and one day he will take one more, and beside him, he will die. Or someone is alcoholic or a cigarette smoker, and one after another, he is sleeping, and then he goes to alcohol, and he is going out, and the cigarette is in the room on the bed, and the whole bed was burned, and the building burned, the house burned. That happened to one of our disciples, about eight years ago. So it is like this: inside we also have a problem. And this inner problem can destroy us through what we are doing. So, in this, it is the Kuṇḍalinī Cakra, and what we are talking about is Kuṇḍalinī. And in kuṇḍalinīs, there are how many kuṇḍalinīs, how many cakras, how many petals inside, that we shall see. And that’s why you said, “Please, can you show us each and every petal of the chakras?” And there is a one-by-one alphabet, tier. And that is what Hari Gurujī was giving us—a very clear point—and that is called Satguru Chalīsā. So, the Satguru Chalisa, that is exactly what we are having here on our chakras. And from these chakras—in these chakras means all different—we have them with our body and our side, around our house, outside, etc. So we are practicing, and we have to be happy, always to be happy. Don’t say that is negative, that is this. When you are talking that, “Okay, I don’t like you,” or “I don’t like my snake”—well, he likes his snake. There’s one man, the whole year he’s living with this snake, and he’s flowing with the flower, flower... and the snake is also happy. But if he wants to give me, “Swamiji, can I give you your neck?” I say, “No, please.” And some like it all very much. But still, we should have in our inner nerve systems, so the nerve system should be very, very strong, and therefore the new, that is in the Kuṇḍalinī cakras, we will continue something perhaps in this day, and we will see then the cakras. So let’s come to the Chakras again, Kuṇḍalinī Chakras. And therefore, what will we do? Bolo? Bhajan. Bhajan sunle re mana, Bhajan sunle re mana, Bhajan sunle re mana. Chalo.
