Good evening to all dear brothers, sisters, and fellow yoga practitioners. To all people seeking peace this year, amidst the pandemic. Around the whole world, many great people are trying very hard to work for our good health and for this corona to go away. All people are longing for that. What and how will we come out of this? I was thinking this morning that in this life, we are all very afraid of certain diseases. We think about when the end comes to our life, when this ātmā, this soul, is going to separate from the body. What will that feeling be for each and every creature, but more so for humans? Humans now know what will be. I was thinking very hard about this. We all sit beside a person, maybe our families or other friends. Many think about it, and many sit beside those who are relatives and close. We say, "We are all with you. Please, God is with us. You will be in peace and harmony," etc. But still, all this in the body does not feel happiness. I think, always when I think of mokṣa, peace, and so on, that it is a liberation—liberation from worldly life to come into peace. But where is peace? In which peace? With whom? Do we think that our children are grown? That ātmā said, "When we are in this body, how will I go?" Everything I was making: a beautiful house, many things, and property, etc. For everything, we are going to the lawyers. We are fighting with other persons. But when we go out of the body, nothing. We cannot even touch anything. People say that someone has taken away my everything—these, that, many things. We are angry. We are very poor, painful, many things. And then this soul, this ātmā—it is not only the body; that is mine, and this and that. That is only the five elements, and we are inside. From the mother's body, we came out into this world. Not only humans, but all creatures which are in the body—how they are all going here and there—all they are searching for is their peace, harmony, understanding, etc. And we are doing, but now we are attaching, and we are attached in such a way that we cannot separate. If something happens—physical problems—we go to the doctor, hospitals. Maybe it was an accident or some disease. Our heart beats very hard. Each and every cell of the body, why? This ātmā and this body—this ātmā said, or this jīva, he found one body, and I think it will be now forever. I will be happy and everything—very rare. There is completely all-in-all happiness, nothing else. If we think that we are very happy and peaceful, then mosquitoes come and disturb you. In your room, there are so many mosquitoes. Then you say, "My God, I cannot sleep." You see, even we are afraid of little mosquitoes. A little, very tiny ant can bite us. And everything, when it's touching our body, we have fear. So we came in the body, and we are happy in our body. We are working hard for our body. We are bringing many fruits, and this is our food, and we are cleaning our whole body. We cannot keep many things in the body. Whatever comes to our body, we enjoy or feel good only for some hours, then it goes out of the body. Still, we are with such hard problems. What will be? We are here on the earth, and we know how we are going here and there. And now it is said, "I must go, I must go out of my body." I cannot tell you, my dears. It doesn't matter how much we pray, how many ceremonies we make, and we are doing very good things for all, and we feel very good. But what is then after? It is said, one is they said to God, to the Brahmalokas and so on, heaven and the hill. So in this life, we were not having troubles, and now what? They said, "In the hell." Where is that hell? In which body? Nothing goes with us to heaven. What is there? Somebody is sitting with us and has enjoyed everything. This is something only you can tell yourself. I have to, we have to ourselves—we cannot go as two together. Separated. We don't know. We cannot sit on the earth. We cannot touch anything. Who is touching? My soul? Will you touch your tree? Will you touch your vegetables? Your fruits? Or ocean? Swimming? Who is there? It is the body. And when the body is not there anymore, who is swimming? This is many, many stages, and everyone said many things, and many books are... and everything. And therefore, every creature and every human, they are trying that, "I will be happy, I will have a long, long life, and I will always be." And that is very hard to know, my dear. Or, this is like a balloon. Inside the balloon, the air—as long as it's a very nice balloon. And when the balloon is expanded, what was inside? Air? Where is that? So it's also for our bodies only, this. And when we're gone, there is nothing, only the air of Hari Om. So that's what some people believe about God. And when they don't believe anything, that I cannot answer, please you. It was that a person came to one other person and he said, "Master, can you give me this? Can you give me that? Can you give me that? Everything whatever you are telling, Master, it's only you are talking. I also can speak to myself." But is there somewhere? So every day he was making the master all the times, all the times, always troubling. Then he said, "Yes, then you will see. I tell you that you can go to heaven." And then tell, when you come back, how was it, everything. So he said, "So I am going to die, because he wants to go to light and peace, and this and that, heaven and everything." He went. Nowhere, nothing. The balloon is gone. The air and the space also in the balloon, and that has become space, finished. He said, "Where is there?" He's calling, "Master, where is that?" He said, "Even I don't know. Should I come back? No. You have given me so much trouble, always. And now, where are you? How do you want your karma?" So he said, "Then where is my karma? At least any karma." There is no karma, good karma or bad karma, also not in that heaven. Heaven means it's space. Oh man, maybe animals know something a little bit. They know they have fear. Also, they are afraid of death. And they don't know that birth and death may be for the animals. But only the pain. How can someone torture them? Killings, heat, cold, many things. And after, we don't know. So who is there? Many people are telling many, many stories. Many people, there are holy books and many things, and telling many things. They said, in heaven there are holy people. The gods, you know, what is coming? Angels. Angels. Where is the angel? In which body? How is the body? This is just thinking. And how did we think of the angel? When we were little children, we said, "Oh, like an angel." But have you seen any angel? There was only thinking, thinking. And that is also only in the physical body. So there are many nice bhajans; some ṛṣis are talking. Maybe we say that we have a God, and we say Viṣṇu Bhagavān is in the ocean, and how He will come. Yes? Viṣṇu, Lakṣmī. Which Lakṣmī? Where is Lakṣmī? These are the toys. All we have are toys. So this is a kind of play of the dolls of the little children. See, we are also. Therefore, the fear will never go away. It doesn't matter who is who. Even if we are sitting in temples or in a church or anywhere. This morning, there came some kind of a balloon, and the balloon doesn't let you touch it. When you touch it, it will explode, like the children take from the soap water, and when we make like this, it is beautiful and colorful. And if we just touch a little bit, we can't see where it is. Or from the air, touch. It's not long. So therefore, it is said, "How many years' time will we be in the body?" So, my dears, I don't say anything from others. There are very few other great persons, but I can say, "Try to live in this body." And we know we have to go through the pain. If not, then we fall down. The bones breaking is the pain until the doctor will come or somebody will come. But until that, how many minutes or hours? We have to go through the pain in Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī and Holī Gurujī. In Rajasthan, there was one city, Ajmer, and there was an eye doctor. There is a doctor hospital, very, very nice, and so the holy. Guru, Mahāprabhujī had in his eye something. So the doctor said—the doctor was a disciple of holy Gurujī in Ajmer. So Holī Gurujī said, "Mahāprabhujī, please, for your eye, please." So many people, about ten people, went with Mahāprabhujī. And his bhaktas, with Holī Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, and one person is still living now. He is in America, in Atlanta. He was a disciple of Mahāprabhujī, and he knows, and he wanted to go to America. And Mahāprabhujī said, "If you go to America, you will not come anymore back. You will be there." And it happened like that. He is coming to America, Europe, of course, and India, but he is completely not permanent in America. Anyway, so Holī Gurujī was with Mahāprabhujī and some other people, and one doctor, he was a Punjabi doctor, very, very, very nice, great. So the doctor said to Mahāprabhujī, "Please, I will give you a little injection so that you will not feel pain for the operation on your eye." All the people were there outside, sitting, and Holī Gurujī was near the doctor there. It is a truth. In our Leela Amrit book, you should read what I am telling you. So Mahāprabhujī said to the doctor, "Let your injection be for the next others. You can do it without injection operation." The doctor said, "Gurudev, I know you are Gurudev, you are great. But there will be some pain, and if something, a needle or something, goes in, your whole eye will go away," the doctor said. So Mahāprabhujī said, "How long?" He said, "About 15 to 20 minutes." Mahāprabhujī said, "Okay, go ahead. But Gurujī, you will say something like this." He said, "Don't worry, my son, doctor." So, the doctor's hand was like this, but Mahāprabhujī went into samādhi. No movement, and it was about 25 minutes or more. Then, after he came back, he put some cloth on it. And he said, "Yes, Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī, you told only 15 minutes, 10 to 15 minutes, and you went above for 25 minutes." He said, "Gurudeva, did you pain?" "No, pain is nothing, but I'm telling when some other have oppression. Then you should know, tell only two minutes or so, even." That kind of many, many ṛṣis, great saints, they said, "We have, I am above my bodies. If it goes, it will go. If it is here, it will be here." And this kind of, that is the great saints, gurus, whatever you call. And they understand, I think again, I'm not only saying that their soul, or we call it ātmā—some say ātmā is different and soul is different. And that it will come now, so we know we are doing great, but neither will there be your country when we die. Neither your house, nor your money, nor everything. Your families and children and neighbors, they will be behind; you don't have any more then. So, when does the soul in the body go out? Then it is like when a star is falling. When we see the dark night, a very clean sky, very dark, and we see the stars, and some stars are falling. And what is the speed of that? Like that. Our soul goes like that; it goes out. He doesn't want, my God, how much I was suffering in this body. We humans are making ceremonies and these and many things, but he's not there; he's gone. So neither he or she, me or you, thy or mine—all this drama is here. So, but we are, and myself, I tell you, it's very easy what I'm talking and you are listening, but I know that I'm not so far like that Mahāprabhujī. So we are only on the surface, we are not deep somewhere, so we are suffering. Suffering is only in the body. We have to suffer, and that is it, but we shall do our best and always pray to God. You gave me such a beautiful body. Please, let me as it is. It's not easy. You know that Mahābhārata we were here watching. And only one from the Mahābhārata, there's one, he went with the body into heaven. It's like the balloon is gone. And, balloon, we have gone very far, we don't know, and everything is split at Philae Bay. So in that, I yesterday told you about our prayer. Śivanenjī Mahārāj was Mahāprabhujī's disciple from Nāgo district and Chhoṭṭikāṭṭu. And Baddhikaṭṭu is the other one. There are two villages, so one has more people there, and one is a little bit. And so he became Mahāprabhujī's disciple, and he made this beautiful prayer. And when he made his prayer to Mahāprabhujī, he prayed to Mahāprabhujī. I am praying to my Lord, my Gurudev Mahāprabhujī, but not this body, but I am praying so it is like a Śrī Guru Ātmā. My Śrī Guru Dev is Ātmā. That Ātmā is a Guru. Ātmā is a mother, father, everything. The body is nothing. Paramatma. Atma is normal, all people and everyone. And Paramatma, the highest one, Atma. We have a, how to say, school child. And in the universals, it is professor. A distance, difference. Similarly, paramātmā, paramātmā, which is on the earth and in the bottom heaven, they said, sky. So again, ātmā, paramātmā, and paramātmā may hide further more, mahātmā, puruṣottamā. And that ātmā is puruṣa, is the human, and that comes into the human's body which karma, which sādhanā, what have been done. So Śrī Guru, Śrī Guru, one, two, three, four steps of the ātmā. So we sent Mahātmā Gandhījī. They gave him the title. Mahatma, Mahatma, so many people say Mahatma, Mahatma, but only the Mahatma, Gandhi Mahatma, Gandhījī. And Gandhījī was not Mahatma from birth onwards. How much hard work did he have to do with all these things? He had to work very hard. When there is a Puruṣottama, the highest of the highest, then he is the God or the Lord. Lord is in British, the Lord is your house also. Whose house is the Lord? So therefore there is not a God. So sakal jag ke antarajāmī. Sakal jag means all creatures, all creatures in the world. And in all souls is that Paramātmā. So he became that great one, like Mahāprabhujī or something like this, more heavy. They again become, when they go into the space, they become again, coming into the other ātmās to help them, to bring them up. In the physical body, we are trying very hard. But when we are not anymore in the body, then we are very equal to all. Chara, chara, kya, ātmā. Chara, chara, kya, ātmā. Chara, chara, is that the movable, living, going, as a plant, tree, standing there. So charā-achara, one is movable and the other is not movable. This plant is standing here, and the other is immovable. Naba rūpa vyāpo satyayāpo vimal chetana ātmā. So, naba rūpa, that's ātmā. Naba means sky, completely sky. Rūpa means form. We have also, she is sitting beside me here, so her ātmā, another's ātmā, and rūpa, rūpa means the form. And form of the rūpa, good, beautiful. Every creature, everyone is beautiful, because beauty is the ātmā inside. These are the beauties when we were born. And how nice, beauty child, this, this beauty, beauty, our skin, skin is coming good, making your beauty, and then again it's kicking back and back, getting old. But that Mahatma, the greatest one, Nabha Rūpa. Nabha is sky, nābha rūpa, nābha je nebou, rūpaha vyāpī. So now it means after our soul is gone, immediately, just like a balloon is gone. So there is in the whole sky, I don't know how far, beyond the moon, sun, etc. That they are great ones, others are mosquitoes going up here and there in the air. Set them up, and that is the truth. And what is that truth? There is no negativity anymore. It's only that space. Even the stars are in the space. They cannot touch that. Vimal Chetan, vimal, vimal means there is no spot on the body. So, many said that humans should not make any kind of tattoo anywhere. There is one story, and the story is from the time when the Muslims were coming to India. And at that time, they were calling the Bahatsa; they called the Bahatsa, the king of all. And he had one; he was a good secretary. Always, he was telling his disciples this and that. And he was very truthful. So one day, something happened. There was a knife or something, and it cut him, a very big wound. Well, they put some plaster on, and in the morning his secretary came and Bhadza said, "Oh, I have such big pain." He said, "What happened? Oh, I have a big wound from a knife." He said, "Very good." Bahasa said, "I have pain, very big," and you said, "Very good." Go away. Out of my house. Okay, he went. After two, three years, that Bahatsa and his people, they went, they took the horses and into the forest. Well, that time was little humans and very nice forest, and like this. So they all were with the horses, and they were going to go for hunting or something. And so that bahatsa, who was his horse, and the horse was the best and good always, and the horse went through the forest, jungle, now he doesn't know where it is. And there were the people who were living in the jungle only, and they had some ceremonies, and they had their master also. So that he had, with the wood at once, made a little, like, āsan, and they had one festival. And in that festival, they offered a human. So he was sitting, there were about 100 people around, or 14 people. And he said, "Go and bring some good person." And Bahā’u’llāh was completely exhausted, and two people began, and he said, "Oh, some people are here." So they got Bahā’u’llāh, and they tied him, and said, "He's here." Okay, then wash him. Take the dress away. And they will take the soap and oil, and they want to wash his body. He was tied with hands and legs. He said, "Now my life is in its last day." And they said, "How is he? Is everything good?" He said, "Yes, he's a very nice, strong man, very nice." But there is, what do you call it, a scar? They saw me on their big wound, that I cannot get for the ceremony. Take him out. So then, and he was, oh God. Then he took his dress, he took his horse, and he came back. And then he called his secretary again. Birbel, his name was Birbel. And he said, "Come on here, please." He said, "Your Highness, what can I do?" You were right when you made a wound here, and I told that, and you said, "OK, very good." And I was very angry, but what he said was right. And therefore, I'm sorry. So, what I'm saying. So, in that same way, vimal chetan ātmā, vimal—there is no storm—chetan is awakened, completely awakened, night and day and night. And so, who is that? Our heart, day and night, our heart is beating all the time, and that in the heart, there is a tiny, tiny place. There is a very blue little, you have to see, and that is ātmā. And in our heart, there is such a small blue light, and that is the Ātmā. All in one, Satyapū. And that is the truth, one. Rest not. Rest will fall down again, dust. Chaitanyātmā, dhūna, dhyānayoga, agam, jāge, nigam se nityātmā. And that ātmā, dhūna, they are always in the gods, in everything spiritual. Don't talk. This is not good, and that is good, and that was that. Many people, when somebody is a little good, will try to touch him. So they are thinking about their not here, and here we are going further. How is it? We are going somewhere with the car, and there are many trees and this and that, but our destination is there, very far. And there, awakening everything. Nigama se nitya ātmā, and so nigama everywhere, nitya nitya ātmā. Śrīdhivna Bhagavān, tomorrow we continue so that, because this prayer is very beautiful, and we have to learn it.
