The importance of purification

A spiritual discourse and prayer session focused on inner purification.

"O Gurudeva, please purify me from the body to our consciousness."

"We have to purify ourselves, inner, our inner. And bring inside good, not negative."

The speaker leads a prayer and satsang, using the metaphor of dust to describe physical and mental impurities, particularly negative thoughts and gossip. He emphasizes the need for constant spiritual practice, such as mantra repetition, to cleanse these impurities, and shares teachings on the stages of mantra practice, anecdotes about human behavior, and an allegory about the soul's journey akin to the water cycle.

Hari Om, Namo Nārāyaṇa, Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Alaka Purī Jī Kī Jai, Devādhi Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhvarāṇjī Bhagavān Kī, All Savi Deva Devitāoṁ Kī Jai. All the Devas and Devīs, we pray to them all. With this, we hold a prayer, and prayer means that I surrender myself. O Gurudeva, please purify me from the body to our consciousness. There are immense impurities, especially in humans. That is like, you know, which is not good. And we cannot get out. We cannot free ourselves from it. More and more negative thoughts are coming to us. Přichází k nám víc a víc negativních myšlenek. Negative words. Kritizování. And that is coming more and more into the body. It takes time, not one day, but slowly, slowly, like dust collecting. If we can purify, we can, just with our breath, dust it out. Therefore, we pray, we ask Gurudeva, Om Namaḥ Siddhi Prabhupāda, Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam... Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇa. Haṁsabhādāsa Prabhu Śaraṇāpārāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dī Pārāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Haṁsabhādāsa Prabhu Śaraṇāpārāyaṇam. Haṁsabhādāsa Śaraṇāpārāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhudīpa Āyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhudīpa Śyāvaraṁ Rāma Candra Bhagavān Kī Devādideva Deveśvara Mahādeva. Alaka Purījī Kī Jai, Bhagavān Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai, Our Satguru Svāmī Madhavāṇjī Bhagavān Kī Jai. So, this is called Holī. Gurujī always says, how we pray or say praṇām is purifying. Like I said, the dust and dirt is from the earth. But you know that the dust can fly in the sky. Sometimes there is less in this part of the countries, but let's go to Hungary. And from Hungary, when you go, there is what is called... they are on a very flat land. Yeah, the pūṣṭa. And suddenly comes air, very strong. Dust is going. In the Sahara, its dust goes up. In Khatu, there is so much sand. It looks like clouds. But this dust is only dust, nothing else. So that first dust comes to you. You feel, you think, "It is my good shadow." But it is dust, and dust comes after one hour, two hours. Then it is very fine dust. If you don't clean, two, three days, more and more dust. Similarly, our behavior, our thinking, that we cannot digest, and that dust is also dust. And that dust goes into the body. There are two kinds of dust. One is the dust physical, like this, and the other one is like our feelings, our words. That means from many lives, this dust is inside, and we come into the human body, and that dust slowly, slowly has its time. One day, that dust will bring a time when we can hardly take it away. For example, I should not say, but we, the animals, have also something, but the humans, I'm talking. And nowadays, it's more that kind of dust, and it's what, unfortunately. I wish, O Mahāprabhujī, please take this dust away. Like, for example, cancer. Yes, and you cannot take any more dust out. But the big one, the growth one, we could have cleaned it. So that is kind of what we call backbiting. The backbite, and that backbite is the cancers or many other diseases. So, all humans, we have both kinds of dust. We have impurities, eating, drinking, etc. And another one about the backbiting. Not only cancer, there are many, many things, so that dust comes, comes on the last times of life, and tells before going, "I saw you, that this is your dust. I can't do anything." It is you who did. Go ahead, so physically and mentally. Mentally, physically, and inner feelings of negative things. Sometimes we think we are very pure. But it's not. And then, besides this, one is telling negative, though it's not positive. So positive is not a corona and this, but I am talking about, therefore, Holī Gurujī said, as much as we can make our mantra. You know, yesterday I taught what Holy Gurujī taught in this, what he said about here, the Sadguru Chalīsā. There is a Sadguru Chalisa, and also the letters. So we have that. Where is that? On the other side. Everyone is bringing it up, after I will see. So it is said in that bhajan that each and every time dust goes in. Inhalation and exhalation. Inhalation is coming, the dust. Exhaling is bringing empty space to bring more. Therefore, svāso svāsaḥ, that I breathe in and out. Inside is a mantra, and that mantra is purifying. Just for ten minutes, or half an hour. A prayer or something. It's very little, my dear. Dust is too much. Therefore, it is said, work physically and mentally. But besides inside, we have the name of God. So, must we have to say quickly and easier? Then let us say we can have one mantra. Holī Gurujī said, and he has his mantra, which mantra he gave me, and I try to do, and then the rest mantra Gurujī told again. And it is not only for me, it is for everyone. And Mahāprabhujī said to Devapurījī, and Devapurījī said to Mahāprabhujī, and Mahāprabhujī gave to the Holy Gurujī, and Alakpurījī gave to Devapurījī, like your parents. It is like with your parents, if they are positive. Tak také předávají dětem to dobré. Ale víte, že dnes je velmi těžké předat dětem vzdělání. Vy to nevíte, and therefore your children cannot. Well, there are some people, for example in the Muslim, I don't know how and what they are doing, but from childhood till death they give that kind of knowledge and mantras or whatever. And we're not. We know that Christians are also very religious. But now only on Christmas day, under the tree, get something. Yes, so also Indian. On the time of Diwali, Holi, that's all. And then only for jokes. That's it. So, but those who are yogīs, and there are different kinds of yogīs, They think like a yogī, but they are more gossip. So, it's not easy to know who is a good saint or a good guru. And so, all people also. So, it's like we said a few mantras or prayers. And that also not. How many here, for example, But I will not tell you your name, and I will not tell you hand up or down. But you should know, my dear, do you pray this time? Every day gossiping? You can go. You will go for jumping. You will go walking. You will go swimming, or you will go somewhere gossiping and things. Do you know it is your time for prayer? We will pray. Maybe Christians, Indians, Buddhists, etc. But again I say to you, even in the aeroplane and at the airport, in every airport, there is a prayer room. And who's going inside? Ninety-nine percent Muslims. They go and they make prayer there. And others, sometimes they say, "Oh, prayer." They look in. This is different, and so, just a few words or something also that we cannot do. How will you get in this boat? Yes, you know that you are doing everyday prayer. Or morning and evening you are doing, that's all. I don't want to tell you what you are doing and what not. I know who is doing it, but that also I will not tell. Because shopping is there, so there is a call. Well, you know our sādhanā. Pomlouvání, to ano. Víte, že tady se věnujeme sādhaně. Mantra. Mantre. And how is this mantra we have? A jak je to s tou mantrou, kterou máme? And how many do we have? Mantras, steps of the mantras? Kolik je kroků té mantry? And first is? And first is? First we are writing. First we are writing the mantra. Likhīta mantra. How many times did you read your mantra? How many books did you have? Your mantras that you were writing, it doesn't matter if it's in Hindi language, Sanskrit language, Czech language, or Hungarian language, it doesn't matter, but did you write? But gossiping, they can do. I told yesterday, and many times I am telling what Gurujī said. And that he said, "Japa tapasyā or pakṣī pyāre, śubha or śyām." You know that? Yesterday I spoke very long, and spoke the same thing again and again. Birds and animals, they are all also doing their prayers morning and evening. O human, how much are you doing? Then how can we say we will purify it? Then what is it like? Some are doing prayers from time to time, but after doing so many negative things, thinking of praying for oneself, but you are killing the animals and you are eating them. In your mouth and on your tongue, the dead body's flesh, the dead body's flesh, goes into your living body and onto your tongue. Do vašeho žijícího těla si dáváte mrtvolu na svůj jazyk. So, my dear, purification, and this is many, many things. Čili, moji milí, to pročišťování se týká mnohých věcí. And sometimes, I don't know, I'm not such a high yogī. A někdy si řeknete: "No, já nejsem tak pokročilý yogī." But maybe Gurujī said, "Give me," or told me, or he's doing it, not me. And when Gurujī talks about it, is it something that he should do, but I don't? It comes to me. It doesn't matter if I'm far away. You know that one Swami who had these chakras. This is a Muktānandjī, not Muktānand. Okay. And what did he say? Disciples will come and disciples will go. But my Lord, I will be Thine. And even I am here or very far. But still, I am thy master, and if I go high above the stars, But my Lord, I will be Thine. And if I die, On that time, my Gurudeva, you know, when I die, look into my eyes. I will be thine, my Lord. Then you know that, yes, what is your guru and what is the disciple? And when you are backbiting Gurujī or backbiting the disciple. And so I see, I feel it. Tak já to cítím, vnímám. Ale nechci toho říkat, protože se snažím pročistit to vaše pomlouvání. So, Gurujī has given you a mantra, everybody, that one? Gurujī, vām dāl mantru? Mentally or verbally? Ať už mentálně nebo slovně. And Gurujī said, "Guru dīp, Guru dīp, Guru... dīp,..." And no voice, also not mouth and no tongue, only that fifth step of the mantra. Guruji si neustále opakoval Guru Deep, Guru Deep, a ani to nemusel vyslovovat, a byl to ten pátý stupeň mantry, kdy ta mantra plynula sama. Čili šlo i o to množství. Byl na té nejvyšší cestě. Čili jaká je ta první mantra? Likhyta. Likhyta means writing. So you have to learn very, very much and show me at least a little book, how much you have written your mantra since you came to me. And when I give you mantra, I told you what to do. That you cannot do. Gossiping you have all the time. It is not like that, yes? And then speaking. So we are speaking, pronouncing the mantra. Of course, every country has different words. Samozřejmě, že každá země má trochu jiná slova. Ale v tom svém jazyce to říkáte hezky. Já to tak nedokážu, ostatní taky ne. Protože to vychází z té konkrétní země. Vy jste vzešli tady z tohoto. If you believe or don't, you came out of this earth, and you will go again in the earth, either as a whole body, or the sand, or in the stomach of the fish. Yes, and that will go again in the earth. So, my dear, Earth is mother, and every country and everywhere you are, it is your country, my country, their country, all countries. It is that. So we were writing, then pronouncing, Because the tongue, our tongue, so those who are constantly having a good word on the tongue, they will not talk negative. And sometimes negative looks very sweet. There was one lady who is, I don't know how to tell. I will make a story; it's a lady's story. So she telephoned me. Gurudeva, how nice and beautiful, and this and that, and so good. And then she called someone, or others called her. And so negative. So what? So one person was talking to her, "Oh my God, and this and that," and he said, "Oh my God, and my child," and she's taking all kinds of her weakness. And she said, "Yes, please tell. I don't tell anyone." I will not, you are like my child. Yes, I think, yes, yes, please. And going into the stomach. And talking about one hour, and she said, "I will tell no one, nothing." Even God, I will not tell. And she put the telephone out. She goes to drink water and telephones me. "Oh, Gurudeva, it is such a terrible girl," or, "It is that so terrible, this boy or the man. They are so negative." And they are talking about this and talking about that. I was fed up. That is a terrible person. I said, "Well, why did you talk so long?" So, there are people there who tell this, and then they make a bite. Therefore, when gossiping comes, it is negative. Or just nothing, then they talk, what you are talking, some work, this, that, so finished. Better we should say, "Om Gurudeep, Om Gurudeep, Gurudeep," just only Gurudeep, Gurudeep, only in the name of Mahāprabhujī. To je lepší si pak opakovat Om Gurudeep, Om Gurudeep, Mahāprabhujīho jméno. Je v každém vlásku našeho těla. They are full of that divine light, so that we have to learn. Not only that, I'm a yogī and I meditate; I do Kṛiyānusthān. And in Kriyānusthān, how many are thinking about that hall? Not by speaking, but by looking. Then what are you doing? Your knees and your buttocks are in heat. Yes. And if you will go into the divine, your buttocks will not be red and burning. Then you will say, "Oh God, this buttock, better to go to the toilet." And these knees, and your stepped-in ankles, and ankles. These ankles, yeah. So what do you say? Is it negative or positive now? Are you positive or negative? Say both. So according to the corona, we are negative. And the rest, we are positive. You know, there is one man in some company, and about 50 people are working. And one person is always gossiping a little bit, gossiping people. And he said, "Always, they said, 'You are not good. You are not positive.'" He said, "There is no positive. You don't talk positive to me." And one day he went to the hospital, and in the hospital the doctor said, That you have negative, and the doctor said it's very good. He said, "Good," and he said it's negative, so it was the positive, sorry. So all said negative, negative, and then it is said, "I am positive, the corona." So that is the corona, negative and positive, that he said. So, my dear, we have many, many good books, holy books. We are reading, we see good things, but how much are we swallowing inside? And not only that, yes, it is my religion, my God, my this. And you said you have in my body. But do you give back again, good, positive, nicely? So it doesn't matter even if you are a saint. You said you are a saint, or many religious people, yeah? They will criticize a lot, so we have to learn, my dear. Otherwise, it will be very bad. So please now begin to purify, clean those dusts which we have from a long time. Maybe the dust will not go out a lot. But at least it will not be so painful. That is very, very important. So again, I said about Mahāprabhujī. And so this is our mantra. So first, writing. Then repeating mentally with the tongue, then only the tongue moving inside, no noise coming, sorry. And then completely, no tongue is moving. And then finally, coming to the fifth one. And that is going automatically. Now, I can tell you that Gurujī was having his mālā, and he lay down and he's sleeping. Mala falls down beside him, but I myself have seen, and many bhaktas may be, who were sleeping beside Gurujī. His mala, the fingers were moving like a mala. And you know when Holy Gurujī was in the hospital? And he was in deep sleep, but his fingers were moving. And what is that mantra? Om Guru Dīp. Om Guru Dīp.... Om Guru Deep. Constantly. That is the last mantra. What is it called? Which we don't need to move at all. That's good automatically. In each and every hair, so I know you are many, many. You are doing practice. You have your mantra, or maybe some other guru gave you a mantra. You came here to watch some program with me. I respect you as my disciple also, but you have other types of mantras, other gurus, and you have another guru and another mantra. Then that is the mantra that you should repeat. Don't cross. When you cross something, then it's not good. Therefore, you should also do. What is your way? Otherwise, sometimes one can go negative towards the Gurudev. Then you know it will go like worms into the hell, and then the worms will fall into the naraka. Heaven and hell. So there you will be like worms. And when these worms will come up out, you don't. So, don't neglect any holy picture or any photos. If you don't greet, you should not neglect somehow. I always said, like everyone, you have sitting is your parents. The second one, who is sitting, has their parents. The other ones, parents, also others. And now we are all here. How many we are, great people. And everyone, we have our parents, and we love them. We feel very much, and we are the same. Similarly, there are many, but you should know how it is. Otherwise, when you have not learned anything, then it is negative. So this is what we were singing, so let's again. In this saṃskāra, we can also say our good things or bad things. So we have brought with us from past life and from past vows, and we have to go through it again. But luckily, we are, we become a human. But it looks like a human, but it's like a devil or who is biting. But luckily, we came to the human, and now, my dear. We should be pure human. I'm not talking about our group. There are many other groups. They are very kind, very humble everywhere. I will not say that only our people are very good. I said my people are very good, but others are also. And how nice it is if we are together, so it is like this. We all come from one thing. We are in the ocean. And then we see from the ocean, it comes, the sun. And from that ocean, we are coming up like a steam. And through this steam, we are going up and up and up quickly. We wanted to go out, but as soon as some second out of the millimeter... We said, "Oh God, make a mistake now." Where am I going and going up and up? And where am I going up and up and with the wind, far away, far away? Only sand falling there. You separated because you are mistaken. And now, but you will come again, but it takes a long, long time. Or good karma. Again, from the ocean, you will fall water inside. And many will go through the canalization. How much dirt is in that? But sooner or later, every drop by drop comes and goes to the creek, and from the creek to the river. And that river enters again into the ocean. We say this is this river, that river. But when it is in the ocean, then all is one ocean. But when they will come, Many years and ages, you will not come there. You are nearby there. Ocean, where is some kilometers? No, meters distance. And the bird took the water, and she flew away. And where does it go? So, where is the kismet that we cannot? So, my dear, We have to purify ourselves, inner, our inner. And bring inside good, not negative. Don't bring the poison. Bring the negative deep, and, what do I say, not poison, but nectar. So let us come to nectar. Bring in your body nectar, but you have this negativity. Then our whole body will be full of these negatives. So, poison or honey? What do you want? You have to take. I cannot give you. I can give you the honey, but when it comes on your tongue, it's a poison. Because the tongue is also very good in everything, but the tongue can also be like a poison. That your tongue is full of poison. Negative again and again, backbiting. So think, please. I'm so sorry to speak like this. Yes. Dīpa Nambaghwa Neki.
