Feel compassion in your heart

A global community of spiritual practice faces collective grief.

The community has practiced together in peace and harmony. A global situation of suffering has arisen, causing profound loss. Many have departed, and the living endure great pain, often unable to perform final rites. The appropriate response is heartfelt prayer for the departed and their families. All practitioners are united as one family in this remembrance. The essence of practice is the feeling within the heart, beyond any ritual form. In times of conflict, relinquishing contention brings inner light. The community stands together with those who grieve.

"Better than the mantra is what is in the heart. What is the feeling there? That is what matters."

"If there are problems and fighting with each other, it's not good. We should say, 'Okay, let it be for you. I'm okay.' Then immediately, both sides of the heart will have a light inside."

Good evening, dear sisters and brothers of Yoga and Divine Life around the world. This past year and the year before, the community of Yoga and Divine Life has been practicing sādhana and yoga peacefully and with happiness. They are very good people, one family, who have practiced āratī, pūjā, mantra, concentration, meditation, and āsana prāṇāyāma. I have heard and know from many countries that all yoga people have been practicing and helping others. They also made a beautiful satsaṅg—a satsaṅg where everyone practiced together through telephone techniques. It was very nice. All came together as one, all were brothers and sisters in great harmony. They spoke to each other from a distance about where Swāmījī is and where he will come. Swamiji is always giving lectures, and all our yoga teachers and practitioners are practicing for and helping each other. These are great things. You know the situation is very terrible now again with this Corona. It comes to one country, then to others. Sometimes, when all governments say, "Please be peaceful, stay at home," etc., then the corona subsides. But when people come out quickly, the same thing returns. So this cycle is happening again strongly. For more than a year now, our friends, families, and different countries have been suffering. It is not only physical suffering; many have lost family members. It is not easy to know that your father, mother, brother, sister, or friends have died. It is not easy to feel that. Moreover, when someone died, no one could come for the funeral. That was again very painful for others; they couldn't come. So I was thinking today we should pray for those souls that have departed. We give blessings, peace, and health to their parents. That is all we can do. This evening, when you go to sleep, don't engage in jokes and other things. Instead, sit down and do some japa mālā for our departed friends in every country. In Australia also, a very, very loving person passed away—not from corona, but from cancer she had for many years. She was involved in everything: New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, everywhere. So we said a prayer for them today, and tomorrow morning when we rise, we can offer them water, something like that. We know that one day we will also go, but not in that way. We know we are getting old; this is life for us, and we are going. But this manner of departure has created a great... peace? No, but in our heart, there is pain. We shall help them. So, my dear ones all around the world who are listening to me, who see me, those who are sleeping and will open their television tomorrow morning and will know—we are all with them. We are with your parents. We know we have our guru paramparā from Satyugas: Alak Purījīs, Dev Purījīs, Mahāprabhujī’s Satguru Swāmī Madhvanānjī, and we all, my dears, we are all one. I am not something higher than you; I am like you. Because if I were to say now, "I am your guru," or something—no, no. It is said: the higher you go, the more easily you can fall down. If we remain on the earth, we will at least not fall down. But, of course, those who have thoughts and feelings in their mind, who think "I am," or "I don't know what I should do"—these are different things. But we are all guru, brothers and sisters, and we should, we shall, go hand in hand together. I was thinking much today of many other countries. Every day I receive telephone calls. It just happens, and I am with them, and they are with me—oneness. We will not separate. We will be oneness. We are with them, with their parents, and we are praying to Mahāprabhujī to please take care of us. This was for today. How can we do this? We do mālā mantra; it is different. But better than the mantra is what is in the heart. What is the feeling there? That is what matters. Therefore, it is said, "Guru gives us mantras," gives everything, gives the practices and everything. But in the end, he said, "Do what I said." And that Gurujī told: "What you practice, what you did, what you are visiting, what you are talking—whatever it was, we are bringing it in front of the holy feet of our great gurus, saints, and holies. We offer it to them." Yes. So also, prathānā, the prayer, is powerful. This power of prayer we do—it doesn't matter if you are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, etc. They have their own prayers, and that is very powerful in our heart. So practice this. Another thing is like this: if there are problems and fighting with each other, it's not good. We should say, "Okay, let it be for you. I'm okay. You go. You do. You take." Then immediately, both sides of the heart will have a light inside—lightening in the heart. That is very important. So today, what I said is that we shall think of those who went from the heart—out, it's all gone. For them, we are. And for those who are still here, we feel their pain, and we do too. Deep Nāma Bhagavān Kī Jai. Now we have a few bhajans. Yes, Hari Om. Haripurī, after Phūlpurī, is the Vivek, Yogeś, Premarañjī, then comes the Avatthāpurī, and then comes the best one. Yes. God bless you.
