Good Morning and Good Evening, Hari Om, Dobré Ráno a Dobrý Večer. We have had a beautiful time three times today. Early morning, when we arose, we remembered our life, our parents, and all our families. Then the morning had nice programs here. Later, we came together again, and there was a very nice practice for those from the Anuṣṭhāna Kṛiyā. Other teachers and students were at the holy feet of Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī’s temple, and the meditation at that time was beautiful. That is what we should know: how to live life. Yesterday was again about living life. The afternoon was your sādhanā, and now this evening—how beautiful the light is, the beautiful blue sky, and the light is coming. The sun is going to the other part of the world, and we are here; it is beautiful. Many times I have said that each and every creature is coming back to its home. We can see the bird’s nest; that is also their house. Other creatures are sitting on the earth, and they are all looking for this sunset time. We too, after our whole day’s work, are here again in the evening. Our Gurudev, Svāmī Madhavānand Jī Bhagavān, said: "Japat paśu arpakṣī pyāre." Japat means meditation, prayers, and so on. Paśu means animals, any kind of animals, paśu or pakṣī—all flying creatures. They wake up and they sing their prayer. We know how our prayer is; they know their prayers. So it is that everyone, in their own time, remembers God. Paśu is animals, flying animals, and all of them remember this. O men, you should know this thing I am telling you. Even morning and evening, they remember God. Every creature does. We think only we are good. It could be that we have more talking, talking about many things these days. But many humans have forgotten. They do not know when the sun is rising and when the sun is setting. Of course, we know many people, but they do not remember this. So slowly, slowly, from this Kali Yuga, the humans are getting lost. And then it will be very difficult. O men, think on this. Remember this. You can see God in yourself. If you do not want to see another God, okay, no problem, but that God is within you also. So sometimes, some people think, "We do not believe in God," okay. But you should know at least that you have within you something. You do not give it the name God, but still you are living. You are walking. You are eating. So you cannot be that; you do not remember God. And sometimes people do not believe anymore in anything. There is one nice story. In the world, mostly people are believing in different things, whatever they believe. At least you believe your wife. And at least your husband believes in you. Belief is that we are going to sleep. That is also belief, so there is belief in everything. So, there are some who do not believe in God at all. We call them atheists. Well, there was one person who did not believe in that, in anything. He was an atheist, a man who did not believe in God at all, but he liked climbing rocks. He liked that. Maybe it was in the Himalayas, or maybe somewhere else in Europe, in some mountains. He wanted to climb very nicely on the rock. One day, what happens? He was one meter from the top, but somehow his grip was lost. Now he is holding on to the rock. He looks down. He is down, down... and there are sharp rocks below. More or less, it means his life is about to finish. His hands are like this, holding. Then he said, "I do not believe you, God. But if you are God, then come, please, and help me." God came. God said, "Even if you will not believe, I will save you." "Then save me." God said, "Wait." He said, "Do not wait! God was just about 20 meters on the rock." He said, "God, God, please, if you save me, then I will believe. And I will tell the whole world that we believe in God." Well, but that man, he said, "Save me quickly." God said, "Do not worry." He said, "I worry, not you." "But I will save you. Do you believe in me now?" "I believe in you. And I tell you that all my property I will give you for the spiritual programs, in the temples, in the mosques, everywhere. But quickly, do not talk." He said, "Yes, I will do it." "So, you trust me?" "Yes." "You will do everything?" He said, "Yes." "Okay. So, I will see that you really trust in me?" "I do." He said that is good. "You will do everything I tell you?" "Oh, my God, I am too... My fingers are like fire." Then God said, "Then leave your hands free." He said, "So stupid I am, not you. You do not believe in me." Then God said, "You do not believe me, so do it yourself." So that is that. People think that, "Yes, okay, I believe in you, and you are my dear," and this and that. But you have no confidence. Even if he would fall down, God would take him in His arms. But there is no confidence, and so it is. One man got one woman, and he said, "Very happy and very good and everything." And then they said, "We will give our life even for us." And after some time, "I want to go." But it was good. He said it was good. Now it is not good, and so is the Kali Yuga. Therefore, we should have confidence in ourselves, which we have, but that confidence, we do not believe in it. Therefore, it is said, "My body is good. I eat and everything." Keeping my body, and then there is the brain. My brain, my mind. Do you remember in your mind? The mind is very powerful. Nothing is as quick as the mind. I have told this example many times. Jupiter. We are already there in our knowledge, that Jupiter. But then we said, "Let us go. It is not possible." So we cannot believe in our mind. The mind is good, and the mind is not good. The mind can do everything, good or bad. Many times people, and here little people are thinking like that. But in some other countries, mostly in America, "I do not believe in you. Okay, I am okay. I will come. I am sorry, my mind, I changed my mind." Many times, so if you can give up your mind or change your mind, then why do you not make your whole body? Change your body. "No, that I cannot." So what does the mind mean then? And therefore, mind. Mind. The mind will not die, or it will say, "I die." Who, the mind? Man marā, the mind did not die. Mamatā means desires. Mamatā. I like this. I want to have this. That is very nice. Mamatā. Desire, desire, desire. Man marana mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīra. But many times our body died. We are born again; we came back. But death was not confidence in death. Man maran, mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīra. Āśā tṛṣṇā nahīṃ gayī. So, my God, there is a big aeroplane going. So, āśā tṛṣṇā. Āśā means hope. Hope. Naděje. I hope. Ja doufám, mám naději. Like, for example, we are standing at a bus stand. And we stand there, and the bus will come. The bus will come. And you are in hurry, hurry, hurry. Waiting. Waiting. And the bus did not come. Still. So he ran away, only about 100 meters. The bus came and went away. That was man marā, mamatā marī, marā marā gayā, śrī āśā. It was a hope: the bus will come, hope, the bus will come. But we did not have the confidence to stay. It will come. Āśā tṛṣṇā. Āśā means hope. And tṛṣṇā, desire, desire: "I will get this, I will get this." Sometimes you want that; now this one girl wants to get one boy. And that boy thinks, "This is, I want to have this girl as a wife." And thinking, and thinking, and thinking. But it will not come. Because there is no confidence, both sides inside were not that Seva, inner Seva. Manmaran, Mamatā, Marī, Marmar, Gayā, Sarīr, Āśātṛṣṇā, Naimarī. Kagayadāsa Kabīra, the great saint Kabīr Dās, and Kabīr Dās made this poem, and that I am telling. It was Kabīr Dās, not me. Or, like Holī Gurujī said, "Jāpat paśu arpakṣī pyāre śubha aruṣam." These are the good, such a poem that gives life a life, keeps the life or destroys the life. You go the wrong way, go the right way, but we go the wrong side. That will not be like this, so therefore. In such a day, morning, how was the morning, lunchtime, and dinnertime, and coming midnight, but before the midnight and sunset, what was there? Satsaṅg. Satsaṅg can be with two persons only. Satsaṅg can be your families. It was the time that evening, all children were coming at home: grandparents, the parents, and children. So this time we all were at home and making nice things to eat, and they were cooking nicely. And as far as I know, when I came, that was 50 years, 52 years ago. Here also, people were at the dining table. And they prepared the food. And mother said, "Children, all, please pray for the meal." And they did, father, husband also. And it was not saying, "Come, do it, do it," no. And some were standing up. I saw many people there, and now we do not know where we are. We are sitting in the car, and the other is in the office, and that is going on for cooking. Like this, we have lost. We are scattered everywhere. And even in the garden or in the field, in the farms you are eating, and farmers, lunch time they have lunch, and they come, sit, and they also sit in the garden. Similarly, we also. Annapūrṇe, Annapūrṇe, Śaṅkara prāṇa valla bhāī. So we know this whole: Annapūrṇe, Sadāpūrṇe, Śaṅkara praṇavallabhe. This is a prayer. But now we have also forgotten. Some are doing it. And many Indians, they lost. They will come and have the television. In some, day and night, the television is running. When I came to Europe, it was black and white. And in India, some cinema and television was coming. So someone brought one television, black and white, or one radio. So lunch this time, they are all waiting. And then, because they come quickly, there is one television only. In this, they see the news; inside the news, there is also prayer, etc. And now, not only one telephone, but two, two telephones on the left side and the right side, and one is hanging here, like this. Who is going to remember God? But still there are many people, farmer people, the country, country... They come, but now they are too much in alcohol. And alcohol, but there is something stronger, whole. What you call, what we call the drug. And it is in that way we humans are destroying ourselves. God, maybe He did not talk to me, and I could not hang anywhere. I went to God, but I could not hold. So I said, "God, please, God, can this side, that side? God, here? God, where?" But at the same time, in many, many spiritual people... You know, even in little villages, there is a church, and people, morning and evening, at this time, they go to prayer. And also the Indians, also the Muslims. Every day they do, they believe. The Muslims are strict now. Jewish, they are also very... But Christians and Hindus, they became not very much. I go to Croatia, Slovakia, and there is one little village, and there is the house of our bhaktas, and they made one cottage for me. It is only on pillars, and we have about, I think, how many meters? I think, five meters. Five, six meters high, so high. And then they made a very nice cottage. And people are coming from the car on the road. It is on a hill, and they say, "What happens?" There is only one building on the top; down there is nothing. So they are all stopping the car and looking, "What is that? Like a UFO." Anyhow, there is one little church, and this time, sometimes, because we go to other cities to give a lecture in the evening, we come back again. So, there are going about two or three old ladies and maybe one boy, man, and two in the church. And may it come, great mother, mother, so they also made maximum five, six inside. What should we believe? We are there only at the time of Christmas. We go there only on Christmas or when we can get something there. And that is it. But these people outside are still doing it. But this new generation is not, my dear. I am very sorry that other people, ancestral people, they made every place in the name of God. Somewhere also in this forest, when we are going for walking, there is a holy mother’s on the board, some tree, wall. About ten years ago, so that Holy Mother’s hanging, but the frame was very red, old. And there was the image of the Holy Mother, but the frame was already so old. So I told our people here, we said, "Make it nice, good again, then hang it there." But I told them, "Please, can we ask here the person from the church, or these people of this city or village, can we again hang the Holy Mother’s?" They said, of course, it is all right. And the people who are coming and going, they are getting prayer to Mātājī, Mother. It is there, but not that much. And one day, what happened? Someone threw a stone. I do not know who it was, how it was, why it was, and we made it again. So this, we lost it. Therefore, jīva, jīva... bhakṣate. Now the animals eat the animals. Jīva, jīva, bhakṣate. Only God can tell humans, but now humans also, not only eating, they are killing, that is all. So, Kali Yuga is that very far. So, my dear, we should not wait for others. And sometimes we cannot tell them, let us pray. Even maybe like a farmer in their house. And two persons come more. They do not dare. Let us have prayer. Like Christian or anything, it has become a photo. That is our picture. But we should do, and that is why many people in the countries and in the big cities and so on, if someone has a spiritual dress or something, then they are afraid. They think, "My God, they think we are stupid." Really? So why are you afraid? Yes, but someone who has confidence towards God. Many times I have seen in the aeroplane, or the time in the aeroplane, and there were two Muslim brothers, and they just, in near where the feet there, they make prayer, and nobody said anything, and also in the airport, we are waiting inside next flight or something. Or we are waiting until the flight comes. And there they are making prayer, and now in international every airport there is called the prayer room. Now, if you go inside, the Muslims are going there and praying. Maybe one or two sitting, meditating. Otherwise, mostly they are coming and looking, and they say, "What is this?" Hańka, what is this? Hańka is a pihańka. So, my dear, we, you believe in Christianity, why not? The Jews, why not? Muslims, why not? Hindus, why not? Buddhists, why not? Then we will say, because we said our God, and you know how much we said God, if we all will remember and we all, in their religion, peacefully, why not? But we want to take that this religion was come only my religion, and others should die and kill them, and this and that. So in this way, it is not a good life. We should believe in all, and we should pray on. And we will go in our life, slowly, slowly, we will go through. That is it. So we have here one airport, this is for training airport, and for our prayer here, when one comes, always he makes pradakṣiṇā here. Yes, yes, really. So he makes prayers. Anyhow, my dear, that is what I want to tell you, that we should be, and we are, and we should remain on the path. There are many, many ages of our path through our spiritual masters, or the gurus, or yogīs, whatever. So this is Alak Purī from the Śiva times. And we have now our path, Alak Purījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā: Alak Purījī, Dev Purījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī, and now we all. And how? Who will walk on the path? We will together, and someone will go in the rocks and hang there. We will go and take them out. Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān.
