Good evening to everybody, to all dear sisters and brothers, yogis and yoginīs around the whole world. We are all connected as one, like a mālā on a single thread. This thread is Gurudev. This thread is our saṅkalpa. Do you know what saṅkalpa means? Saṅkalpa means, "I said, I wished. I said I wished that I will follow, I will be good, I will do this." It is a wish, a desire, a resolution. "I wish, and my wish will be fulfilled." We are all bound on that thread of our heartfelt wish. Your world is a thread. Others, too, are connected in oneness. Often, you do something, you lose something, you make and break things. This means you are still in human life, but you have given up your word. In Sanātana Dharma, it is said that long ago, there was only One. There was only one God, and we are all in that. After the Dvāpara Yuga, the Tretā Yuga began, and this is good. More people study this, and the thoughts become clearer. But it does not matter which religion or which name of God we use. God is only one. As we go through life, we come to know there is only one God, whether called Bhagavān, God, or another name. We are connected by our wish, and that wish will be fulfilled. But you have broken the thread. There is a story. There was a deep-water well. We dug down 50, 100 meters deep. We have a bucket on a thread or a rope. We lower it empty, going down with hope. We find beautiful, pure water. In the past, for 80 or 90 years, there were water wells. People could go to any well, draw water, and drink. It was pure and good, from the upper water, not so deep. The bucket hangs on the rope, coming up from below. We hold in our hands nice, pure water. Sometimes, people used a cloth to filter the water as it came up, in case of dust, so they could drink it clean. If I do this, my thread does not break. My pure water is drawn, the bucket is emptied, and I lower it again. But if the rope is not good or you lose it, the bucket breaks free and sinks into the well. You cannot retrieve it. You are left there, not knowing when it will come back. There is a beautiful poem about this. Someone in a satsaṅg said, "Guru Dev ke bāre." The rope is connected to Gurujī. Gurujī goes down into the well and brings back good water for the disciple. It is very nice. Many listening may know this poem. I have forgotten it because I have been in other countries. "Guru ho to aisā ho. Sishe ko andar..." It is a very nice poem. I will get it; someone will tell me tomorrow. This is about a promise. Otherwise, everything is broken. This is a mālā—Rudrākṣa, Tulsī, or other kinds—but the thread is one. What is that thread? It is your word: "Yes, I will." You should not break it. That is why in India, when someone comes to your house, you offer them a glass of water and food. It means you have eaten salt in my house. Salt is significant. It is said in the Bible, "the salt of the earth." In our house, and in many countries like Czechoslovakia and Croatia, when you come as a guest, they bring prasāda—bread and salt. They ask, "Will you respect and take my bread and salt?" If you say yes, it means you are now my friend, like my father, husband, or wife. We are connected. It does not matter what happens; you will be a helper and stay with that person. One who came to my village, to my house, and had my salt and bread should not do anything bad. Many people still have this custom. I was in Europe a long time ago, in Austria. Farmers in the mountains have nice houses. The whole family works in the garden. They do not lock their doors. The house is open. There is bread, butter, and many things. In a basket, there is money and a note: "My dear friends who came as my guests, please eat; there is everything. If not, here is money; you can go buy and carry." It was like this. In another country, whose name I forget, if anything is lost—even jewels, money, or a necklace—people would hang it up. Gold would be hanging. No one would take it. It would hang for three or four days. Then they would write, "Please, who lost this?" Now, in Kali Yuga, even if we are hiding, we might take it and run away. That was Satya Yuga, Dvāpara Yuga, Tretā Yuga. Now, everything has changed. People want to take from everybody. I wanted a small job done for 100 rupees, for less than half an hour's work. People work all day for 400 or 500 rupees. But humans have lost their connection. They have lost human to human. Similarly, this is about Yamala Saṅkalpaha... No, fasting. Upavāsa. Today is Hanumanjī's day. I will keep upavāsa. I will drink water, maybe, but not eat anything. There is very nice bread with gourd and oil inside, because Hanumanjī liked oil. It is very good. When I was in Rupa Vasu as a child, with my sister and mother, in the evening before dusk, they would give prasāda to take to a certain tree. Is your tree still there, or is it broken now? You give the prasāda, come back, and then you can eat. If you say, "I will fast," but then you eat a banana, apple, papaya, or chocolate, what fasting is that? Can you drink water? Otherwise, the connection between us should not break. This should not break. Gurujī gave me this mālā, and it is still with me. I hope I will not forget it somewhere. Sometimes I have forgotten it under my pillow. Once on an aeroplane, I saw my mālā was missing. I quickly asked the hotel people, and they sent it back to my passport address; it came to me. Gurujī's mālā was broken sometimes. I was there. Gurujī said to me, "My son, mālā love." Gurujī restrung this mālā for me a few times. This mālā was for me. So if you learn to do this, then do it. Otherwise, do not make a fasting vow. That is also okay. But ask for what you are asking, and also for what you are not asking. You have taught me, "Swāmījī, I am yours, and everything is yours." And then after you are gone, it is broken. Broken is broken. It is like the human body and a glass. The glass falls and shatters. We are not like this glass, but we can also break. This body... So many times we do something, and for that, I pray for them. I pray very much. I say, "Mā Prabhujī, Kole Gurujī, please." Therefore, tan, man, dhan, bachan—body, mind, wealth, and word—I surrender at Gurujī's feet. Everything to Gurujī. Tan man dhan bachan āpke charaṇ kamal me, Mahāprabhujī. Please. Many... What do you do in the morning? How do you speak to Mahāprabhujī, or the holy Gurujīs, Alagpurījī, or Devpurījī? What do we say to our Guru? "Gurudev, praṇām." Praṇām is that, but tell what you surrender, what you can give. I have nothing, only my vachan (words), my body, my all, my name. Gurudev, that is it. I was smiling today; you came with so much nice prasāda. This prasāda should be cooled down, please. So tomorrow morning we will not eat cooked breakfast. This will be a nice breakfast tomorrow. Therefore, do not say, "Today is Pūrṇimā, then we have Halī Gaurī." Do not speak like this. Either do it or not. If you are doing it, maybe only one person is doing it. That is okay. One person will do it. It does not matter if it is sweet or not. He will also say, "Gurudev, I have done my morning, washed my mouth, and now I will eat something. Sādhanā. Sādhanā." Sathya sādhanā cha akṣa tumhārā, jīna se hove akṣa tumhārā, Sathya sādhanā ve Hanumān Chalīsā. Hanuman Jī Chalīsā, okay? Chandra Bhagvān kī jai, Saṅkaṭ mocan pāvan suta Hanumān kī jai.

In the morning, if you can chant, this is very good, and then, of course, have some prasāda. One day, Hanumanjī said... only one day when it comes again. Which day is that? It is Maṅgala. Very good, thank you. Now, who is somebody? Oh, both of you are coming very good. What will you chant here? Very long, okay. Here, yeah. To hold both in your hands, mask can put a little down.
