In reality there is no birth and death

The true birth is the soul's descent from the cosmic source, not a single calendar day. This journey cycles through all forms—plants, animals, and humans—in an endless ring with no clear beginning. The soul itself is eternal and unchanging, while we experience the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Most people live in confusion, identifying with temporary roles and relationships that scatter like birds flying to unknown trees. True freedom is realized by those who understand their eternal nature, not those who claim spiritual titles out of ego. Worship of form is a starting point, but the divine consciousness is one, beyond all geographical or human distinctions. The goal is to realize the true self, which merely rests in the body as a traveler rests under a tree.

"Where will it fly? Those who think that I am, I am a saint, I will be this, I am this and that... then you know, there is a very good someone taught this on the top."

"Ātmā is, ātmā is the ātmā, amara, that we call amara. Amar means forever."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Good evening. How are you all? So, how have you been this morning? Good. Only three said yes, and others are completely like this, yeah, with masks closed anyhow. The day was very good, and every day is a good day. The past day was perfect; it’s gone. And tomorrow we don’t know, but we wish that tomorrow will be a good day. Many times, once a year, we are worshiping or saying, "Good, my birthday." But when was your birthday? Our birthday was when, from the cosmic, when this all was coming down, descending, and was going through and through in the clouds. First, and then coming on the earth, in many different ways. But there is coming like a life. It may be in grass, in the fruits, etc. This is all in many, many plants. Then, in this, there, what are we coming? Like living beings—the trees, grass, they are also living, but they are more close to the water and entering in that water. And then where will it go? Into those animals, or also birds, the fish. They are those who have done against it, and the humans also. So it means our birth is coming from the cosmic. That time already, so what was that day? Tell me, please, when was your birthday? When this soul came in the mother’s body, it was already birth, understood? And the mother’s, after we said... This is birth, and this is birth, and this is birth. So this is number one. And then it is said, finally, that early morning, or tomorrow, that today is the birthday. Tomorrow is again the birthday. We are counting ourselves, but that is not right. There is no day in that way. Because the sun is all the time, so where are we from? We came where? Where are we? Where will we go? It is a cycle, and the cycle, the ring, and we don’t know in this ring where is the beginning. And so is life. Life is good. The ātmā is good, and we are as our birth. That we today we had by nice cloth over us, and tomorrow morning we will put this out and go under the water, and we take the new one. What and where? How should we come in this? Only great saints, they know. We don’t know, but we know that we are, and that’s good. At least that we know, that we are. And so we are in these three: jāgrata, suṣupta, and svapna. Every time I spoke many times that this, and it shows also that life. In this, we are there. Our consciousness is different, but we awaken, sleeping and dreaming. This is that ātmā, the soul, is constantly one only, and that we should try to realize. And then, if we know that, then it is said, "I must, I should, I will, my life, that I will not, I will not lose." Because there will be many, many confusions, many problems. Many times, it was very good: families, father, mother, sister, brothers, etc. But now they don’t understand, and they go away fighting, gone, etc. So that we don’t know which bird will fly on which tree. I used to say, "Where I will go tomorrow, I want to have, can you come to my programs or something?" So I tell now the Swami, the yogī, that who knows, that one is completely separated. It is separated and is not separated, but became one. So they said, "Will you come?" So I said, "When the trees... the bird is sitting on the top of the house, and I don’t know in which direction this bird will fly." And so is that, swāmīs? So is the... Sadhus, so who has realized, who knows that, and they know when, how, where they will fly, and that is freedom. If you want to see freedom, then see a bird, any kind of bird. On the top of the house, or on the tip of the temple, or on the mandira, on the top of the mandira, there is sitting one bird. And we are looking only, but where will it fly? Those who think that I am, I am a saint, I will be this, I am this and that, there are some people, they are saying I am a yogī, I am very great, and this and that, then you know, there is a very good someone taught this on the top. Of the temple, people are coming into the temple for prayers or to bow down. Like this, many people, and so one bird is sitting on the top of the temple, and another bird is coming to sit there because there is only place for one. So the birds, they are flying, others are coming, parting, and going. So other birds tell him, "What are you doing here?" He said, "You don’t know. There are all these people going into the temple because they pray to me, and I am sitting on it." So what happens? One little animal came up, like some cobras or something like that. And the bird flies away. They say, ha ha, there are many people still praying. What are you running? He said, "I’m not this." So, they were praying in the temple to that God. Which God you believe, that’s okay. We have to have some statues or the photos or only the stone, but we have to worship first. Then it comes, soul, life, comes in that. If you believe, okay, if you don’t believe, okay, but it is. Many times people said, "Naya, there is no God and nothing." Others said, "We have God, we are making prasāda, we are praying this and that." So some said no, and some said yes. But God said, "It doesn’t matter. If you want to, you will not worship me, or you will worship. It is yours. But I know that I am." And so the bhaktas who are coming, they are worshipping. You will see here in Jardhan, we are in Jardhan ashram, about 200 people or more than that. How many, Yogeśvarjī? Now, 200 people are in our ashram in Jardhan, in our Shiva ashram. And how many are sitting in the temple for prayers, in which I am giving satsaṅg? Out of all Indians, who is there with the children and so on? It is only now three inside here, and all others are Europeans. But God said there is no Europe and no India, no Africa and no Australia. It’s one, but out of the one, how many will? And so, who is there on the prayer times to hear him or listen? And how many are there? About more than 200? They will not go there. They don’t know. They think, but they don’t know. Some may be sitting somewhere and thinking and listening to the prayer. That’s all. That is a difference. When you go to the church, there are many people there because, in other countries, for example, Australia, Austria, Czech, Slovak, etc. When there’s in the church, they’re making prayers. Mostly going are the women, and the boys are sitting outside on this Sunday. So the women, they are going there and praying to Jesus or whatever it is, and they... are all waiting outside with the now? It is not very much, but they are smoking this pipe, and they, why are they waiting there near the church? Because when their wife comes back from the church, they are waiting, that they will go now to the restaurant to eat. There, and then go home. They are one couple in one family, in one house, and they are with each other. But when the soul, the ātmā, will go, it will go differently. This bird will fly there, and this bird will remain there. Then after, we’ll fly, perhaps that’s it. So we don’t know when is our birth and where will be our death. There is no birth and no death. Ātmā, ātmā is, ātmā is the ātmā, amara, that we call amara. Amar means forever. So we have in this body different kinds of feelings, and whatever we put in the body—eating this, that, blood and flesh, and our bones and everything, and more, something more. That’s all, its nest, and the world will never again come and say, "This is my nest, my nest, my nest." So take concentration, and to become thyself that I am. I am just, I came on the path, and I was tired. I sat under the tree for a while, and I’m going further. Like this, life is to go. Only sitting, and I will meditate, and I do like this. No, realize thyself. Thyself, realize thyself. And that’s why it is the gurus, our gurus, our Maa, holy Gurujīs, Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, etc. And we are all just sitting here, and they are giving us something, that energy. It is coming, coming from our, all these great, and it is only like a photo. But this photo, it is not only a photo. Inside that, it is, and we don’t understand what Gurudev has given you and is giving. That’s it. Other things are always then go in, and go in, and go. That is a very beautiful story. It reminds me now of what Holī Gurujī said. It was great, very nice, and a big bāṇjā is going on. And so, Holī Gurujī said something very nice, stories, but I forgot and just became so. Now, it will be beautiful. Bhajan: Deep Narayan Bhagwan ki, Shri Deep Narayan Bhagwan ki, Shri Deep Narayan Bhagwan ki, Satguru Dev ki. Uttar Jagam Jo jagat hai, so pāvat hai, jo sovat, so kovat hai.
