The real Guru is in oneness

A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path.

"If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness."

"The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean."

The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānkī, Devādhī Deva, Deveśvara Mahādevkī, Satguru Svāmī Madhvarānjī Bhagavānkī, Alag Purījīkī Deva. Whenever we come to our sādhanā, our practice, our ceremonies, or to satsaṅg, the first thing is to pray in the name of God. It depends on you which God you worship. I will not tell you to do this or that. I support you in taking care of your guru, your god, your parents, or your chosen deity. Similarly, I—and I think we all—adore our paramparā. You will notice that most who sing bhajans first adore one guru. Let us say you have a guru whom you adore very much. But at the same time, you can adore any other god or goddess. It is not only "my Gurujī" and no one else. If the guru is real, if the saint is real, then we should be able to worship anyone. We can speak of God as Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Durgā, Gītā, etc., or other religious figures like Jesus, Holy Mother, etc. Because the real one is in oneness. If a God says, "Do not worship that God," then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness. We are human. It does not matter which country, colour, or language; there is no problem. We all come together to sing bhajans or beautiful poems. This morning, I began to talk and gave a whole lecture without saying anything to Mahāprabhujī. I think Mahāprabhujī was sitting there and then said, "And now I want to give you my blessings." I was talking for one hour, one and a half hours, and then I said, "Let's go." After Mahāprabhujī spoke to me, I was waiting, and you didn't even look there. So I said, "Today I will." Therefore, we shall remember our Gurudev first, with this bhajan, this mantra: Isī mantra se hove mana mañjana, isī mantra se hove mana mañjana. Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana śabada, Dīpa Nirañjana śabada, dukha bhañjana. Alak Purījī, Mahādevakī deva dī deva, Devīśvara Mahādevakī. Haradāye Guru Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Hindudharama Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānanjī Bhagavān, Lālanānjī Mahārāja, Śiva Nānjī Mahārāja, Brāhmaṇānjī Mahārāja, Bodhānānjī Mahārāja. They are all our gods. Všichni jsou naši bozi. And God means, a Bůh znamená, our Gurudev. All of them are God. Všichni jsou bozi. Those whom we know well, we can always, from time to time, whenever we can, say a blessing. We can always greet them, honour them, whether aloud or just in spirit. Jenom si vzpomenout. And you know that not only people, but many animals, other beings, are quiet. But what is in their mind, in their thoughts, in their feelings, what they want to return? So many times, sitting here, many people—and there are many—have said, "Innerly, what they are thinking, we don't know." That's what they call a spy. The spy is talking to that side. But from time to time, they are looking like this. From the back side, what are they talking? Or someone remembers, "My God," or "My mother, my father." That is in our heart. Otherwise, it is said, "In the mouth is chocolate, but in the armpit is a knife." Do you understand? Only a few people know. Others didn't understand. They are all from here. The mouth is closed. The ear is filled. That's why I said you should open your mouth. It doesn't matter. This should be inside, but we can talk about everything. How are you? Again, just like yesterday, I told you. What is that? That. What? What was? Okay? Yoga smíchu. No, no, no. Very few people were laughing; only a hand was up, but leaves weren't. And the tongue will not need too much power. Ha, ha... the tongue is relaxed. So, come on once. Ha, ha, ha. Say, I know. Therefore, there is an energy. We do not know what is in our brain, in your mind, in your heart, and what is in your stomach. There is a snake that people call a poison snake, and this snake is moving like this, and you don't know how much poison is there. It looks beautiful; its skin is very clean. Did you ever see a snake? Full of that mud on it, though they have no hands and legs to clean, but this movement is like this. It's called poison. Have you seen the snake sometimes? Who has not seen a snake? Very good. Are they your friend? Yes, but distance. That's it. So those who, me or you, or they or all, still we don't know. And when this is done, then it is no success. Your heart should be my heart. Your mind should be my mind. Feelings must be my feelings, everything. And you, whatever you are, I am feeling it as this. Time is running. And it is second by second. We will not get it back. We cannot wait a moment for a second, no. Like an aeroplane, an aeroplane has no back. They have no back carriage. The aeroplane is going straight as it is, and when it pulls out, it also has to pull. There is no back, rear. So we cannot, our second, even the half second, quarter second, or the gun—the gun is okay, but inside is a bullet. Keep it, it's okay. But when you pull the trigger, then it will not go back. It will go straight, will not come back. Or it can go to you also. Then, you have many people who are doing like this, no? So this means that life is gone, and so each and every second is very, very precious for us. Very precious. It is said that you cannot, with any things or money, make it come back. Doesn't matter if you are a mother or a father. Our sisters or brothers, our friends, our dogs, any creatures, they cannot go back, but their life also will not go back. So, oh my mind, oh my heart, oh my ātmā, please give me that kind of knowledge and my prayer, that I come there where my destination is. In that way, what we are coming to... So if you are your heart, your everything really, then this religion and that religion, they both are the same. If it is like a god, if he is the best master guru, it doesn't matter which language or which country, that will not give negative or wrong things to other religions. They are you. That I am. It is in my mind. I am sitting beside you. Good. But we say, no. It is our religion. We will take something. Etc., etc. And that's why in the world there are wars. But not that God. Sooner or later, God itself also goes away in this space. And he knows. And he sees, but still he also cannot come back. Yes, he has power. He will think, but his successor, your God, and second is also your God. But that God has to be trained. So in that way, if it is, then it doesn't matter which God it is. He will tell you, "My child, my boy, my girl." No differences. Water is water. It doesn't matter in which form. In the leaves of this tree, there is also water. Yes, if we clean filters, it is pure water. What is mixed in the poison is also there. So, from our big toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes, what kind of feeling do we have? In our body, we have toes. We have many, many organs and many, many feelings. Muscles, our muscles, they are sometimes very healthy, sometimes they fall down. Bones, joints, glands. All everything, all feelings, so we have to bring all this in positive. Except Corona. Yes, so if you know Corona, then don't laugh, and if it's negative, you can say, "Ha ha ha." But neither do you have corona, nor do you have the negative and positive. So there is a third point: that is death. So, corona or the positive or negative, then you cannot speak. I'm talking and talking. Then I will say, "Please bring the dead body, let it be brought back." So I give you still this one, but you can say something. So, I think we should give it to the doctor and see if it's corona or not. Okay. Tomorrow, please, in the line. And one and a half minutes, my meter. We can get some two doctors from here, so we will give you the injections. Okay? Until I am coming, so it is so that positive—I am talking now a different way—so be our negative, different things, it will remain in one place. Or if we have exactly all negatives, then you go back. What means back? From the human, the solids in the human quality, now, going towards animals, animals, animals. Animals are okay. Why should I tell the animal is wrong? But they have no language. They cannot speak. If there is, for example, someone slaughtering a cow or a goat, or a rabbit, when they are killing them, a horse, they can only do "ha-ha-ha," like that. They cannot say, "Please do not do this." They will talk, they will do good and bad, but they have no. Similarly, after this, when negativity is so much, you go back. You may think, "I'm hiding, and I do this, and I will not then... I will make a wrong, put that and put something. I will kill somebody or this." Such kind of moving, they go back. Similarly, people who only do negative things, they hide somewhere, kill someone and so on, then they go back down. But there is something, as we said, in your child. And your child can be naughty, or crying, fawning, throwing something. Mother will be very angry, but in her heart, she is not angry. That is it. There is nothing. You know how? Water bubble. So, water bubble is very nice. But inside, there is nothing. Explode, and there is only air. So the mother is also like that, only for a little time, then again she takes the child in her lap. So we have to come into our inner body. The whole universe is in us. So, how many universes do we have? We are endless, and they are also endless, and one day it will be one. The ocean is somewhere, how many kilometers from here, but there are drops also here. And that little drop here on the grass, when will I come to my ocean? Well, I will become one. Sooner or later, it will come. And so we are on the way, and now we are sitting near the beach of the ocean. Takže my jsme na té cestě a jsme už na pobřeží oceánu. A teď vstupujeme do oceánu, do vnitř. A vzali jsme kapku vody do oceánu. A pod tím, pod tou rukou je oceán. V dlaní mám tu kapku vody. The little drop said, "Please, can I become one with the ocean?" Sometimes you will put it in your mouth. Or it falls on your head or somewhere. Again, you are not in the ocean. But one drop falls into the ocean. It becomes itself, then the ocean. From that drop, it was my drop in my palm, and I wanted to keep it, but now it's falling into the ocean. I will try to take all the water as much as possible, but your drop is not there. This is not a good word, what I tell you, but we say there is nothing. The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean. Which kind of ocean am I saying? That Brahmaloka's. We are, and we are not. Then we are all one, or we are like this suffering because we have that negative in the whole body, not only in our thinking but also in the body. So all these points, so prāṇa is also similar, like God or prāṇa, or what we call our ātmā. So prāṇa, we call, as long as prāṇa is in life, in the body, you are living. Maybe this tree, maybe this grass, tiny animal, elephant, or ourself. Prana is prana. So prana is a power, energy, or like air in the balloon. Our prana, so it is said, prāṇa chalā gayā, as we say in our language. The prāṇa has gone. So it means, prāṇa chalā gayā means it is dead. They think the jīvā and the prāṇa, they are comparing. And something is hit by our body, neck, or fall down, or something, it hurts our prāṇa. And we call to God, "My God, you are my prāṇa, not Nāth." Nāth means God. "O God, you are my prāṇa, my prāṇa. You are Gurudeva, or God, Mother, Divine Mother." It is oneness as prāṇa. Where are you going further? The body and prāṇa. Every animal has prāṇa. And as long as prāṇa is in the body, we have fear. We have pain. We are suffering. When we are in the hospital, lying in the hospital, and the doctors still have not come for the injection, who is crying? Prana. Prana is suffering. And Dr. Martin came with an injection, and he said, "OK, I will do it." When Martin comes and nicely he's talking with the eyes, before he was crying. Half prāṇa relaxed only when you see the doctor. When a child is crying and somebody comes, and again my child is still crying. And when mother comes, only from far, The prāṇa, my child is happy. Now that child is crying; before, it was crying. Before, when others were crying, "Come here, come here," they were crying. A když jiní lidé říkali, pojď, pojď sem, tak stejně plakalo dál. Takže ten strach z toho pláče. Ale když vidí maminku, tak to dítě ještě pláče, ale už uvolňuje tu bolest. A podobně, když lékař přijde, and even if he gives the injection wrong, only water, he said, it will be okay. And he said, "Yeah, doctor, yes, thank you." Then he said, "But I will bring you one more, very nice." And when the doctor came, it was only water. But the person says, "Yes, doctor, my doctor was so nice." So that is feeling. And that feeling is also coming from the prāṇa. And so, as long as prāṇa is in the body, life is in the body; that is what we still are. But when the prāṇa is inside, then we are doing something wrong. Pitting, killing, etc. There is a prāṇa, but it is suffering very hard. And when good comes, mother comes, father comes, everything is good, then it's prāṇa. So please concentrate on your prāṇa. And we call prāṇa prāṇ-nāṭ. Nāṭ means God. Prāṇ-nāṭ. Prāṇa is Prāṇa. But that Prāṇa is not my God. Look, ask anybody. Now, here you will see if someone, this animal, is dead or not. He is still alive. So life, life... prāṇa. So anamaya kośa, our body with all this food, water, etc. So mostly, it's the physical body and water. Hlavně je to fyzické tělo a voda, ale pak je ještě vzduch, prāṇa, teplo, dech. A pak jsme velice bdělí a víme všechno. Many animals don't know until you will kill them. But we know all very well, and there we have more and more fear. And fear is that, putting this prāṇa is painful. After the prāṇa is mind. Mind is not one mind. We have many minds. "I want to be with you" is my mind. I don't like it; I'm in that mind. So we are changing our mind. And that is very, very difficult. This we cannot control very much. But there are some who can control. That is a great, you would say, yoga or yogī or guru or disciple or whatever. And about such people, we say that they are great yogīs, or masters, gurus, priests, whoever. There is one tree there, and other trees there, and down is water. Deep water, or some stones, and there is a rope stretched there. And now, one boy or girl, lady, doesn't matter, you know, and what they have? One stick, or even nothing, just walking like this on the rope. And we cannot go on a wall, only a wall very high, even one meter wide. Oh my God, then we will go like this, yes, but with the rope. And it is said even with a knife, but not very sharp, but like a knife. And there you will walk. That is successful, and we all will fall in that. So it is a dhārī kikhaṇḍ. Dhārī kikhaṇḍ. Dhari means the knife, very sharp, that knife. And so it is like cheese. You know, you are eating too much cheese. The Slovakians, they eat cheese very much. And they say something more. But the thing is that now you can say, "How? Who will be crossing that?" So that is Naraka and Svarga. If you fall, we are down, and if we came, we are in the Mokṣa. So, what does that mean? I will not tell you that you will walk tomorrow. It is in our heart, our thoughts, our feelings, everything. How pure, clean we can be. What does that do? Do not take away something: money, talk, this, that. You take someone's house, you take someone's land. You take someone's house, you take someone's money. So this is that way, what I was talking about, that a guru or a god. A to je to, co sem říkal, že je to guru anebo bůh. And God, we can say, also can be female. A bůh může být i ženského rodu. So we get Śakti and Śiva. And then we speak of Śakti and Śiva. Male and female, but they both have the same thing. Life, everything. So let go, let her be on the way. So then, if it is a God, then every day is a God. But we will say, "My God is only God," your head is not good. They said, "No, no, no. My God is like this and that and that." Then they are not like that. A human is a human. All organs inside are the same. Only the colour is sky, that's all. So then, what is the difference? So God is God. The Czech humans are humans, but Croatians are also humans. Poles are also humans. Africans are also God; they are humans. The same prāṇa, prāṇāt, we call "my prāṇāt." Prāṇāt, when you have problems, pain, and some problems, you go to God or Gurudev, and don't think this is also... I'm talking too long. That someone thinks who died is not anymore. This means that their disciples were not right. And they were waiting and waiting for Guruji to die so that they could have everything. No. Look, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Holi Gurujī are here. I am worshiping this. You are worshiping this. I am still only human, and that is the best. But who is not my guru, or not respected? Then they say, "Yes, my Gurujī was there and then." There are so many sādhus now. They are very famous. But they have no Guru, and someone, they have killed their Guru. Or someone was, you know, everyone. That time, they were nowhere. So, whenever you have something, we come to the altar. Hey, my Lord, my God, please protect me. He said, "Guru Dev, may it not protect me." Nath has many meanings. Also, nath means that in the nose we have a ring. But that nāḍī in the nose, only female, not male. But in the years of preaching, also men have only this one down. And women have it in different places. Because these are where the women are controlling themselves, because their Shakti is very strong. And that she keeps very much in the control of herself, her husband, her parents, her children, her friends, everything. So there are many things to say. He is not. We can say, "Just only He, not 'he'." "He" means He, God, He, Nāth. "Protect me, help me, give me," etc. Nath or Mera Pran Nath, Mera Pran Nath. Pran is the God, Nath is in the body. Pran je Bůh a Nath je v těle. Hey Pranad, my Pranad, and the child is very ill, small child or big child, and his mother said, Hey Pranad, please give my life to my child. It is hard. We'll call your child again back, so this is how we are, a yogī doing yoga. But we should not only sit like this, or mantras a little bit, or meditation, no. Now we have opened our whole body, and we see now all through our body. And when you will see what is in the body, you will die before the body is living. So when the doctor comes there for the operation, you close your eyes. And you know, if not, then they give you incisors. And then your eyes go automatically down. And you talk, doctor, how will it be? Is it very good? Okay. And now injection is there, and doctors are cutting something in the body. Five-hour operation, and that time remained in your brain, in your mind. Still, Dr. Sa will be very good, and OK, Dr. Sa, yes, yes, it will be good. So he's talking only there. And that is the point where he is alive. Others, the doctor, is feeling as it is. So this is many things, many, many things. So a doctor is different. Others, kind of, who have different logics, processes, or professions. And similarly, the spiritual. So those spiritual gurus, and this doesn't matter if it is a profession or no profession. He gave his life, and that is a further spiritual act, which is bigger than any profession. So we shall keep ourselves very clean. He is not. There is one bhajan I have forgotten. But we have a very nice bhajan, a prayer. So I am very happy, very happy that you are here, you are practicing, and you have got immense power, energy, and love. And let us go further, so there should be no differences. There are seven oceans. There is a name. But water is the same. Water is water. So similarly, this God, that religion, this religion, don't fight, please. Duality is within us, not about God. Om Śānti Śānti Śānti. Thank you. Thank you.
