God is in the whole universe

A spiritual discourse offering solace and practical wisdom during the pandemic.

"One person is very hungry, and we have food for that person right in our hand."

"Don't worry about anything... your body inside is God."

The lecturer addresses the spiritual hunger exacerbated by lockdowns, using parables of starving people being shown pictures of food. He advocates for direct spiritual nourishment through mantra and devotion over lengthy intellectual discourse, sharing insights from India's response and emphasizing faith in God within. The talk concludes with prayers and mantras dedicated to Gurudev.

Gurujī said: "One person is very hungry, and we have food for that person right in our hand." The person is starving, someone is bringing food, and their stomach is making sounds from hunger. But the person holding the food talks left and right, saying, "These are these vegetables, and these vegetables are from that garden, and that was this, and that was my this, and I have that oil inside," and so on. He talked for so long about where he got the vegetable, how he boiled it, and where the oil comes from, that the hungry man fell to the ground. For example, students are sitting in a university or school class. From the morning until twelve, they sit on a chair, their buttocks getting hot—that doesn't matter. But it is said that young people, young children, get hungry after two hours. Maximum four hours, then everyone's stomach rumbles. They are students. Now the professor, or the teacher, says, "And now bring one chart," and there is a beautiful chart about food. Very nice fruits, and these are night chapatis, or what we call these sabjīs, sweets, and many, many things. The teacher says, "This food is very good, and that is very nice for health. This is good for our mind." For five hours, the students sit at one table and chair. Some are falling down, and the hunger grows more and more when we are only showing pictures. This is the situation now. With Corona, it has been nearly a whole year this year, and we are very hungry. Very hungry to be free, healthy, and good. How can we do it? Because we are always closed in our houses and they don't let us go out, now inside we have many, many problems and tensions, and they are all going down and down inside. When I was in India, I will tell you more—it was very, very hard. This Corona was in many, many whole villages, in whole cities, and people were very sad. But our Prime Minister Modi sent into the television all kinds of very good films: like the Śiva Purāṇa, the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyaṇa, and many, many ṛṣis and great beings. There was also about Jesus. People were all listening because there was nothing else, and so they put their time to very good use, and they learned again more. There, in every countryside of India, there is a different language, and they sent it for their language, and many games for children, and also showing the teachers what they will, and writing, talking, and speaking. So now, if scientists like this—and we know they are not scientists—we need a chapati, or we get the spiritual bodies that God, and this and that. So, my dear, holy Gurujī, our Gurudev, Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, he said that then we can tell one poem, short and sweet, and people will understand for many, many years, "Oh, that was the best," and stories, and like this. So, of course, there is a subject, and from time to time we should hear about that, but first we should have our food, not only on the plate, but let it go into our stomach. Then we will wash our hands and mouth, and then we can say, "Oh yes, that was a good vegetable, and good, and that." In that way, now in six months here, in my ashram here in Strelka, I tried always to arrange all our lectures in such a way, according to this situation, and so people were always very happy. And there are many others; they are also giving, not only me. There are many good yogīs, many other yoga āśrams, yoga teachers, and other friends who may not be yogīs. All our humans in other countries, and we offer to them something. One is speaking, let's say, from France, then one is talking about China, one is talking in Sanskrit, one in the English language, and one is from the Czech Republic speaking, etc., many, many. And they are all sitting in one conference hall, and they are all hungry. Very hungry. So they need not a lecture; only we bring the food, and everyone takes, "Yes, please, yes, please, yes, please." There, we don't need a language; we need our food that we can feel in our washed stomach. So, as it is now, still the situation... So, all many good people we are teaching, and they're giving always how to... Pick the humans that it will be okay. We will be okay, and we should give them some things that nobody's said. And so, let's see when bhajan, for example, or prayer, or mantra. Bhajan, or prayer, or mantra. OM NAMO. The OM is eternal. OM NAMO NAMA means "go down." OM NAMO namaḥ znamená "skláním se." We adore. Uctiváme. Om namo śrī prabhu śrī, the glory of Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. Śrī slāva Bhagavānu Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa. We glorify Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī, we worship you. Om namo śrī prabhu Dīp Nārāyaṇ Nārāyaṇ... Nārāyaṇa je Viṣṇu. Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīp Nārāyaṇa. And then, what is that? Because all are sitting near me. Ah, what is that? Všichni sedí poblíž? So, then we said, "Hama Sabdhās, we are all your devotees." Všichni smetví odaní. It doesn't matter in which part of the world, now, in this minute. But we are at once, we are into one. And who is the one? Mahāprabhujī, we say. One in all and all in one, Holī Gurujī said. When the sun rises and goes high, then how many countries can see the sun? But the sun is in one place. Similarly, one Gurudev. But Gurudev is that one who is God itself. Every God—it doesn't matter which religion you want your God. If a physical body comes, then we think it's normal. But what is inside that? That we don't know. One person brings in your one bag. Very nice mangoes, beautiful. And one brings very nice rye cherry. And we see the cherry already moaned; they have the water already. And somewhere there is honey; some brought the honey. So everything comes in everyone's whole body. So one is mangoes, one is cherries, bananas, etc. But the inner intestine of our body, in our stomach, they say, "Let it come to me, come to me. Don't ask me what is this and what is this." That's it. That's beautiful. So all this, what is a good thing? Sweet things, very sweet means not only sugar, even a bitter fruit is also very good. So, that is all coming for different, similarly, the sun is one, and for many, many countries, not only humans, vegetables, fruits, everything, animals, water, everything, the sun is on it. So when the sun rises, how many flowers are opening? How many bees are now going to bring the honey from the flowers? Animals are awoken: cows, buffaloes, dogs, all are awakening. But there is only one, and so is that Gurudev is one. And that, Gurudev, that's why we hamsaḥ, all we are. We bow down to Thee, O Gurudev, we are Yours, we are devoted to You. Om Namah Siri Prabhupādīpa Nārāyaṇam. Om Namah Shri Prabhu Deep Narayanam. ... All we are collecting to the lotus feet. Všichni jsme pospolu u lotosových nohů. We meditate, we bow down, we are worshipping, whatever we say. So that guru is, that sataguru paramparā, from the sunrise till the whole again comes back, all is the power from the sun, and all through the moon sweet news comes. It is said, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, that in the night by the sun. Moon, there comes the nectar, the sweet nectar. So in that way, we should not be sad. Don't think it's not good anymore in this world. In which time was it not good in the world? It was very, very different there. Many humans at that time could not live long, and there were many diseases also. He was killing each other, other animals killing. Life for humans is life, is also not so easy. And thanks to God, and thanks to our life, and that we know our knowledge, and so, how many humans we are. Because we, human to human, have so many medicines. Many talk techniques, and so we are good and we are happy. That's it. So this corona is okay, don't worry, it will go away. And it was written, my life is only till that day. So it was that, the corona or any disease, but it was in your karma, it was only life that was. And we, again, we will be there. And so we should not worry about that. It is said, "Holi Gurujī." One day, the tiger or the lion is beautiful. How nice they are looking, and we love them, but from a distance. There are nice or other big animals, snakes, and you can see. Oh, very nice. A bug coming and going, yes. Beautiful, very good. But we should not go to hold it, so that's it. Corona was this. This was this. So we should keep, we should be a little bit in distance. And we should, if something, we should close ourselves. We can close our door. Like this, so in that time we should use this: that I am God's child. You believe God, or you don't believe God. But it is there, and still humans are doing great things, but still not enough. But are the cells in humans? How many nerves, bones, and many other parts are in the body? Brain, eyes, nostrils, everything. How quickly God can bring it. So it doesn't matter if you are the greatest of the greatest scientists. But we cannot make that God, that human, children. We can make something, children, through the men, or now we have the eggs. But still, this egg is not something you have created. God has created similarly like this, so we should not say there is no God. Those who believe that there is a God, and we need not to see the God, because he is the whole universe. What we call, the Muslims say, Allah, Allah is the whole globe, whole universe, yes, that, and finally we have to go to that, like Allah, but we are physical, and we have to be physical. In the Bhagavad Gītā, Kṛṣṇa said, "What is better, nirākār or sākār?" Krishna said, both are okay, but we are physical now, and therefore we also worship and look at a statue or pictures or a father or mother or anybody. Because we don't know. We say it is sky. Okay, go. Who asked you not to go? Stand up. Therefore, we have to believe. Don't believe the religion, don't believe some statues, but at least believe your body, and your body inside is God. Therefore, don't worry about anything, and you. Know our scientists and our doctors, and more, all they are bringing some kind of medicines, and some medicines and the injections, the vaccines, what we will also not call the vaccines. Why? Because of impurities in this world now. And so our scientists are bringing, bringing, so that we can make some kind of vaccine, so that in our body we'll be stronger than Corona. So whenever you are driving a car, or doing this or that, or have nothing to talk about, that means mentally or loudly: "Om Namah Siri Prabhu Deep Narayanam. Om Namah Shri Prabhu Deep Narayanam. Hamsabhadas Prabhu Sharan Parayanam. Hamsabhadas Prabhu Sharan Parayanam." Om Namah Shri Prabhu Deep Narayanam. Om Namah Shri Prabhupadipa Narayanam. So, live peaceful. Feel spiritual. And live life happy. We will, we have the time. And at that time, Namah Nārāyaṇam, we go to the Brahma-lokas. Brahma-lokas. Not heaven. Not hell. There, in human life, there is neither heaven nor hell. Hell. Like a house, we have a beautiful balloon. And children have a nice balloon, very light, and we are sending it up and say, "Oh, this balloon, this balloon, this balloon!" And if a little needle comes touching, gone. Where is that in the balloon? That air, where has it gone? So it is that our God has given this. Now I give you all toys to play, and now no more toys are at home. Let's go. So, always we should have prayer. So this wish I have told yesterday, day before yesterday. Om Jaya Guru Dev Niranjan Dheena Nahit Kari Prabhu Jaya Guru Dev Niranjan Dheena Nahit Kari Jaya Jaya Chalapadmurat, Jaya Jaya Chalapadmurat, Bhav Vandana Hari, Hari Om Jaya Jaya, Jaya Gurudev.

Gurudev, yagya, yordana, havnatap, vahubhati, vakina, Swami Vahubhati, kina bina guru gyānan hove, bina Prabhu gyānan hove. That much I gave you the Hindi translation into your language. Tolik jsme zatím přeložili z hindštiny do vašeho jazyka. Then it is said, moho, māyā. We have too much moho. Moho, attachment. Māyā means all our, what you call, my money, my house, my wife, my husband, my this, my this. Māyā, saṁsāra. Sansār in this world, this is only sun. It will again be nothing there. This māyā saṃsār is very big, very big. But to cross the ocean, The ocean is very big, very high, and heavy. Satsaṅg jahāj chalākar, satsaṅg jahāj. Jahāj is the boat, satsaṅg is the boat. Satsaṅg: sat means truth, saṅg means with that we are. Satsaṅg jahāj. So where we are sitting and singing bhajans and prayers and so on, that is a boat for us. And that time is our going through satsaṅg, chala, satsaṅg jahāj chala kar, so we let go our satsaṅg go. Guru Dev, within no time, our boat will be brought out of the ocean onto the beach. Satsaṅg jaya calakar, satsaṅg jaya calakar. Gurū pāle tyārī. Hari om jaya jaya... Gurudev Śrīdīp, Nārada, Bhagavān kī. Tomorrow we will continue. Zítra budeme pokračovat. I took too much of your time. Teď už jsem vás připravil o hodně času. Tomorrow, we are going to have a nice time. Be happy, don't be afraid. We are strong, we are human. We have knowledge, we have power. We will do everything, so be happy.
