Cut the lock of God's treasure box

Satsaṅg is the association with truth and purity, while kusaṅg is negative association that causes suffering. Kusaṅg includes tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and negative speech, which harm oneself and others. One must make a firm saṅkalpa, or resolve, to abandon such habits. This human birth grants the discernment between truth and untruth, a faculty animals lack. Life involves navigating this duality, as illustrated by the Pāṇḍavas' journey. Yudhiṣṭhira's final test reveals that steadfast righteousness is what endures. Do not harbor jealousy or speak negatively of others; instead, transform negativity with understanding. Clear communication within relationships ends lifelong suffering, as misunderstandings create unnecessary pain. The teaching given is not from the teacher but from the collective consciousness of the gathering itself.

"Sat means truth. Saṅgha means to be with."

"Tell, but not negatively. Not jealous. No hate."

Ārādhi Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī kī. Jaya. Devādhi Dev Deveśvara Mahādeva kī. Jaya. Satguru Swāmīmādvanjī Bhagavān kī Jayā. Alak Purījī Mahādeva kī. Satya Sanātana Dharma kī. Jayā. We offer our heads at the Holy Feet of the Gurudev. Merciful one, bless the entire world, including all creatures and forests. Be prayer in thy holy words. Two holy words: Om namaḥ śrī prabhu dīpālā. Om namaḥ hamasabhadas prabhuśaraṇa parāyaṇam. Om namaḥ śrī prabhu dīpa nārāyaṇam. Om namaḥ. This is a wonderful satsaṅg. What is satsaṅg? Sat means truth. Sat means pure. Sat means the best. Sat means purification. Sat means that I speak truth. Saṅgha means to be with. Saṅgha means purity. Saṅgha means oneness. Saṅgha means in quality. So, sat and saṅg: truth and quality. The opposite of this is "Ku," which means negative, not good feelings, not good quality; everything is wrong. We all need satsaṅg, and kusaṅga is not good. Sooner or later, we will suffer from it. Kusaṅga can be, for example, tobacco, drugs, alcohol, killing animals and eating them, talking negative thoughts, etc. It is said that if a holy saint or a holy bhakta is present, and someone throws a cigarette outside, it is like when one fish dies, the whole pond is spoiled. First, we should all make a saṅkalpa that from today, we will give up tobacco. The coronavirus can enter your lungs with the cigarette in your mouth. One might think it is good to die quickly, but that is not good. We sit here, and some have nice perfumes. When the wind blows one way, it reaches everyone, but when it blows the other way, it carries negative things. In this way, you are not just killing yourself, but also others. I am one hundred percent sure that all my bhaktas in our āśram everywhere should not smoke, and no one should bring tobacco into the house or āśram. Are you sure you all know that cigarettes do not belong in the ashram and that smoking is not allowed here? Many people you call sādhus are not holy saints. At the Kumbh Melā, you see many foreigners sitting with them and sharing a chilam. It is like an infection, spreading everywhere. So please, all of you here and there, make a saṅkalpa. Do you know what Saṅkalpa is? Who knows? Raise your hand. Very good. So, you are all in smoke? Thank you, sorry. Sometimes you don't smile, and everything seems weird. Yes, everyone here, our bhaktas, some are smoking because their lungs are very strong. But slowly, a net will form inside. Please tell your brothers, sisters, children, and friends that they should not enter the area with cigarettes or any alcohol. There is a word in Hindi or Sanskrit. Let us say it: even in the name of God, we are making the negative. "Śiva. Śiva tabák." I think Śiva said, "I never saw what tobacco is." He eats vegetables, many fruits, salads, roots, etc. On Śiva’s day, we do not offer sweets or tobacco, only fruits, milk, yoghurt, butter, and such things. But somewhere, someone is making a chillum, putting Tillum and Pillum there, and Śiva said, "I am gone." So maybe there is only a stone, but Śiva is not there. Of course, sometimes we cannot say anything due to the needs of family members; we cannot throw them out. But if your husband or wife is smoking and the other is not, sitting nearby gives you the smell. That is also like a claw, catchy like the coronavirus. Can you make a saṅkalpa? You should say, "I want to marry you." Nezáleží. Make a saṅkalpa that you will give up more of that. I will not do alcohol, tobacco, etc., please, lifelong. Then I will marry you. Whom? Wife to husband, or husband to wife. Because tobacco and such things first kill you. Your lungs and everything are gone. In the brain, with more tobacco and other things, our whole brain is destroyed. People are sometimes very happy and nice, and sometimes so aggressive, or they will cry. That means they have destroyed their human life. You are a human, and so are your children. You are also giving this to your children. The father and mother give knowledge to the children. Your children should also tell others not to take tobacco and other things. First, it destroys yourself; then we destroy others, and this human life is gone. We should be healthy and clean. Do you know what tomorrow is? Tomorrow is Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s birth. You know how Kṛṣṇa came, and it was not easy. You have heard about Kṛṣṇa’s mother and who performed the ceremonies for Krishna’s mother and father. Gārkācārya gave them the ceremony. That Gārkācārya was the guru of the Kṛṣṇas, his mother, and her father, the king. Ale říká se, it is in their jyotiṣ. It was said this girl, who became Krishna’s mother, would suffer. It was written in her destiny. But it had to be that way. The wife has a child, a son, and that will be the god of the whole world. So sometimes, maybe your parents are not good, alcoholics and meat-eaters, fighting each other. But your child is coming, and that is completely different. So karma is that: how it is coming, how it will be, and how it has to come. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa is coming tomorrow as a little child. Something I think will make tomorrow very nice: a cradle, and inside will be Krishna. We all have to—they are all mostly girls, and then boys maybe. And this is a crown. So, I will hold Kṛṣṇa, and you will come, everybody, and let him sit. Tomorrow at this time, we will begin, and it will take some time. Those who know some story or some song about Krishna’s mother, etc., Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa. You know that Kṛṣṇa was also like, he was also suffering. Not suffering, but still he had to fight very much. He has no negatives or anything, but he is showing what is happening out, and what I will bring back to the gods. You know the Mahābhārata? How much was there? And at the end also, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa suffered. And Rukmiṇī? She is Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa’s wife. She was suffering because they both left from that place where was the birth of Krishna and Rukmiṇī, and they ran, walked to Gujarat near the ocean. We can see that one day, if you want, this video, but it is a very, very long one—one week, two weeks. About one or two hours per day, that is just something. Or Bhagavān Rām also, what is wonderful. Or, let’s say, about Jesus and Jesus’s mother. We cannot say that they are the best and very good and this. No. First, we know how they were suffering. But they are suffering for us. Everything, the Holy Mother and Jesus, and that they were for us. And Krishna, also for us, Bhagavān Rāma for all, not only the humans, but all for the animals also. Now you know it is a Kali Yuga, and Kali Yuga again will be very hard. Very, very hard. But in this, we are keeping still. There are some sādhus, the best ones. It doesn’t matter if it’s Hindus or other religions. Morning at noon, this beautiful sky clear, and again came clouds and brought the rain, and again this field. So this is a māyā, coming and going, but this space, that is space, equal. So, time to time, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, and all time to time we are coming. So that is very important to know. So in this, there is good or bad. And that is called satya or asatya, truth or untruth, and that is for humans. Animals have not got this; animals cannot say satya or asatya. Tell your animal, "Are you good or are you bad?" They have not, they don’t have negative. Of course they have; they are animals, and they are eating what they like to eat. But Satya and Asatya, God has given us. That ability to distinguish Satya and Asatya, God gave to us along with how we received human birth. A jā jdu. I’m relaxed. I’m retired. So I give you everything. But then what happens? That human said, "Father, I will check you up. I will kill you. Check. I know all, yes." And that you can see in the Mahābhārata and in Krishna. So I, God, who said, "You gave me everything, good and bad, and that." God said, "All treasure I gave you, but because of your negativity," So I gave you all the treasure, everything. But now I have a lock. A number lock. Now you can open. So we are all suffering now, opening, opening, but we can’t open. And if you don’t believe, Then someone brought the technique. We have a lock. And we have the number. How many days? Your whole life you can do this and that? You know, some people are playing with... Frisbee? No, not frisbee, money, gold. They want to get money, and they lose and come and lose. So, you are against the father. So their father said, "You suffer, or you will be good." So this is God has brought this, then negative and positive, good and bad, and though we are locked, and that lock you cannot cut. If you want to cut that log, then you have to cut the sky. So we go in the sky like this, but you cannot make the hole in this. On the earth, everywhere we can try, even on the rock, the hole. But in the inspired space, no, we can send the gun. Ballot. Ballot go up. And then after we bring looking. God. Where is the hole? God said, "My son, I gave you the key, and if you can, then do it." So, therefore, everything is given to us by God, and God you cannot see anymore now. You know about the Pāṇḍavas? The Pāṇḍavas wanted to go to the heavens, to the sky. But they could not come. Glaciers. Only one, Yudhiṣṭhira. And then Yudhiṣṭhira was there and said, "You have to go by seven steps." Then I will come and take you to God. And it’s a glacier, seven steps. One step is double this height. Or maybe more. And from Alakpurījī’s cave, you can see those steps. And it is said that they should go to get blessings to go with Alakpurījī. And you know that Draupadī and the other three brothers, they died. Because glaciers, they could not. It was very cold. But this is a path where Pāṇḍu went, Yudhiṣṭhira. And there, I think, he got a blessing. When you will come to the Himalaya, to Alagpurījī’s cave, you can see with good light. This side is the Lakṣmī forest, and this side is the Alaknandā River. And there is another beautiful rock, a very big rock. And that is between, there is a path to go. And so he arrived at seven stairs, and then said, "Yudhiṣṭhira." Immediately, there were two guards who came. And he said, "Yudhiṣṭhira, Dharmarāja, he came and sent me a message." To take you up into heaven. So it was like, you know, what we have, like something, what can we call it? Chariot? Not chariot, something like... lift? Not lift, like a balloon. Like a balloon, yeah, but like this, and all the times there was one dog. A black dog, and three Pāṇḍavas and their wives. She died, you know. But the dog was with Yudhiṣṭhira. The dog also went very, very old. And very cold, and snow, glaciers. But always he was with him. So when the messenger came from heaven and said, "Yudhiṣṭhira, please, respectfully, come." The dog jumped in also. They said, "Wait, Yudhiṣṭhira Jī, only you, Dharmarāja." Only he said he will go. The dog, we cannot take you with. So Yudhiṣṭhira was there, down. And the dog was there, and again they were talking. And the dog walked from Yudhiṣṭhira in front of Yudhiṣṭhira, and the dog looked to Yudhiṣṭhira, thinking, "Will he take me or not?" And Yudhiṣṭhira was sad. Then this dog went outside, left side, behind Yudhiṣṭhira. And I came to the other side back again. Yudhiṣṭhira, I am not the dog. I am myself the Dharmarāja that was till the end. All you were, did you were very best, and everything I was all the time was with you, if you have done something wrong or not. So, I am Dharmarāja, Yudhiṣṭhira, let’s go up. There are times like this, whether you believe it or not. You see, believe or not, believe doesn’t matter. For him, for God, or anyone who is clear, then it doesn’t matter if you think negative or positive, but I am the best. So many, many, many millions of humans, čili mnoho milionů lidí, they are like a Yudhiṣṭhira. All doesn’t matter, male or female, you are here, my dear. But many are negative, talking negative, then you lost everything. So, you know, there is something, one kind of flower here, and that is just after some times, if you go near, it goes away. So even you don’t backbite with your husband, with your wife, with your brother, your sister, your friend, etc. But your tongue, you should cut out, but don’t make like that. We should give them only right, right, right love, everything. And if there is a negative person, then we should make him positive. So it means in this that what is dark, you have mentioned that you make it light. There is a person who has done many negative things, and everybody wants to beat him and so on. But one person comes and he said, "One moment, please. I will take him." And he or she gives such a knowledge. Sit down, you are my dear, you are the best. They did not understand you, that and that. And the person becomes more and more, again, prāṇa. And he said, "Okay, let them. They are people like that." So the person gets lots and lots of knowledge and good qualities, etc. So negative, we put in the positive. So we are so many inside here, you are jealous of someone, someone else is jealous of another one, even of me, and how? Many are thinking, why is she always sitting here beside? Or why is Hanumanpur always here? Why cannot? You can come too, no problem, but not all. So you are welcome. I told someone today, because she has a lot of work to do in her shop, and you know that it is a beautiful holy water. So, a holy water, and she’s living in the shop in the holy water. She doesn’t need holy water, because she’s in the water. But sometimes she thinks differently. Then, the holy water is coming towards me. So, tomorrow, holy water. I don’t think that it’s enough. They have, but not more. Three, four hundred? Oh, but it’s three, four hundred. One thousand bottles we need. I hope she will not put normal water in bottles. So, the best quality is now. And, you know, I mean, there are certain things. So now, we can make something that all becomes oneness. So look in this area. I hope, if you are a little bit gentle, jealousy, that’s good. Jealousy. But if you have something like this, "She’s not good," or "He’s not good," or "That is not good," and "What we are doing is not good," then please come on to me. I will make you very clear. So this is what we have to learn. We have many holy books. We have yoga books. Many lectures are given. This is normal. But what we need is that we go inside of ourselves with humbleness, kindness, and very hard and very soft, everything. So this is satsaṅg. What I’m giving you is not me, it is you. You told me. Now when I came, I did not know what I would talk, but someone told me. This someone gave this. You are all giving me such nice, good things, and I’m giving you back. So, whatever it is, something we should open. If you will not give one to the other, something negative or positive, do not take it home. How many days and how many years will you take, all the time suffering? I remember one story. Should I tell you the story? Are you sure? No? And then you will say, "My God, why did you say so many stories?" There was one school student from the kindergarten school. One boy and one girl, about three or four years old. They were nice together. Going and going and going. Studying, and then they were going, eating. They became good friends, so they were eating together: breakfast, evening lunch, breakfast, dinners. So, in the morning, they were making breakfast. So this young girl sitting in front, the boy sitting in front, sometimes the father, their father, their father. So this boy, he wanted to marry this lady. And she would like very, very much that I marry him. And as much as one, please don’t be angry with me, okay? You can throw this stone, but I have this here. It will come back to you. So the females or girls, it doesn’t matter. They are very pure, and they want, but they don’t tell. And they are behaving like, no. But this side said no, but that side is pulling. So they were bringing the loaf of bread. And you know, always, the male is always, how to say, "Please, can I help you?" So he takes the knife and cuts the bread. And in the beginning, hard bread. He cut it and put one side. And then he made these shells, and made some butter, and he put it for this girl, and he took this hard one, because men are so, "Say please, you are first." And she’s always looking that side. Well, she said, one day, my inside, she said, One side, I will do something. So either I will marry and do him like that, or if he’s not married, I will also do like that. But now I wait. Let me see, some years. Then they married. Very big wedding, and everything, and they also cut bread and salt. Not in this country, Russia, and this and all. And we in India also, that if you eat in my home, That means you ate my salt, and now you have had salt in my house, so you are my brother, my best friend. We will not do anything negative to anybody in our family. And she was married, and again he was cutting bread like this. And she said, "Let me." You will see. Every day, the husband is making breakfast. After one month, she didn’t want to eat his bread. Anything that he made for breakfast, he said, "Not in this." Good morning, so he’s looking at her, and she’s looking in the window. Sometimes she says, "Uh-huh, uh-huh," like Śiva and Pārvatī. So, well, it was always in, I’m talking about old, old age, okay? You have good tradition, you have good tradition. But before, let’s say, a hundred years, or less than that, or a hundred and fifty years, it was very respectful, women and men. Few may be something that is different. Very respectful women were here also. And here also now, but different. When marriage is marriage, finished. It was about 60 or 70 years old. And there was our golden jubilee, not a golden jubilee, but which is the second one? Diamond. So they went to some other village or somewhere for the weekend. So, can we go? She said yes. They go to the hotel. The husband made a very nice hotel room. So there are two beds, and she’s looking at her side and she’s talking at the other side. Please, can you make a nice, good lunch and dinner, or more breakfast and flowers? So they made a very nice table in the garden, like this, and an umbrella. And he said, "Let’s go for..." So she said, "It’s not this man, his mind is like this." Why does he act like this? I don’t like him, but he’s sitting there. Then he said, "Darling, it’s our wedding day." She said, "Hmm." He said, "But why? You know, please, I don’t know." "Have you something against me?" the man said. "From childhood till today, I want to eat this hard bread, and you always eat it and don’t give me." The husband said, "Please, do you understand?" So this bread is for you, and the soft one is for me. And she said, "Darling, otherwise I will die without this food." Then the husband said, "I am so happy now. Why didn’t you see?" Because all the times I was wanting to eat soft bread. I give you fresh butter, very nice, and soft bread. And my teeth are breaking. So then it is said, "Now we are married, real." So, like this. And we have today a new wedding. So, sometimes, you know, what we are thinking and we don’t tell. Lifelong, we are suffering. Tell, but not negatively. Not jealous. No hate. But tell it is like this, and please, I will not sell anymore. Forgive me, please. She said, "No, no, it doesn’t matter." So clean everything. So when you come in the house, you wash your hands. So similarly, when anything is there, we suffer it. So this is something very good. Now we do the prayer, and for that we have a little video. So Siddhiprāṇa Bhagavān Devpurī Samaḍeva Devādideva Devī Svarmā Deva Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Om Śānti.
