Live spiritual life

A time for silence and reflection is upon us. The external atmosphere has become quiet, offering a chance for inner turning. While the circumstance is difficult, it creates space for family, meditation, and puja. This pause allows us to remember the goodness of earlier times and simpler family atmospheres. Contrast this with recent years of growing restlessness and desire. For those with spiritual understanding, this is a period for cultivating inner purity and love. This love extends silently from the home to all beings, including animals in the forest. True humanity is shown by loving all creatures without fear, as exemplified by certain sages who live in harmony with wild animals.

"Spirituality is not physical, but it is in our mind, in our heart, in our feelings, in our soul."

"We humans should love all creatures; then it means that we are real humans."

Indra is trying to dance here and there all the time, but it’s good. The atmosphere is very good, but the corona is not good. There is silence around the whole country, and there is little of any kind of noise. But now, in four nights, four hours, India said it will be all closed. So, in the morning, for 10 minutes, you can bring milk, vegetables, water, etc., but do not go out. Try to get this corona silent and go away. Many people are very sad, and of course, it is sad. But many people are also happy that they are at home with the children, families, and we can meditate, we can make the pūjā. Puja is very important. Then we have bhajans, and we are awakening in our mind, in our brain, our beautiful life when we were little. How was that when we were very young? How nice it was. And mostly the people, like now, 90 years, 80 years, 70 years, 60 years, 50 years, 40 years. How was it at home? How was the atmosphere? How good were the people in the families, everything? And now, what happens in the last few years? How people became restless. Everyone wants to get something, get something, etc., and a lot of the environment was not so good. So, in some way, this island is very good. Oxygen will be better. But, of course, many people are not like other people, like some government people who are getting money monthly. But some people only hold, they’re working very hard and come home. The next day will be okay, but the third day, they have nothing. But still, they are very happy, poor people. They said, "We will serve, we will save down everything. It will be good." So, the best is that for spiritual people who understand what God is, who want to know what spirituality is. Spirituality is not physical, but it is in our mind, in our heart, in our feelings, in our soul, etc., so within them is purity, clarity. One day’s love for each other, what we call that the friends, we can say the love all together, all the friends, very good friends, they will go. Furthermore, others will go, but maybe it will be different. We all, those who have such spirituality in the heart, in the soul, in the feelings, we are all praying for others, praying and giving. It does not mean that we go to their house and say, "We give you something. We give mantras." No, no. Stay at home, be anywhere, but we give to each and everyone. And it means not only for the humans, also for the animals, you know, in the forest. In many countries where there are tigers, and also the king of the forest, the lion. And we are giving the lion blessing, happiness, goodness, but from a distance. It must not be that we go, "Lion, grandfather, he was, yeah, my God, wow!" That is what he said. I have brought you all, as little my boys, go home, go all back, go. So we humans, we humans should love all creatures; then it means that we are real humans. But one thing is different. All animals, any birds, any animals, they cannot fight anything. For example, when a lion is sitting and a bird comes on his head. Tigers are lying down, and birds are coming and cleaning their teeth. Will they come to your little bird? Any animals will come, except some mosquitoes. And mosquitoes, they are also not, they are very silent. They take the blood and then leave it. Oh, human, why this quality? Have humans been humans because there is something that they don’t respect? Or kill the animals? All, and many—not many, many people—they love animals. They give food and everything, but still they cannot come close. So it is said, when one, a yogī, such yogīs... Not like we are still, we have in India, in Gujarat, lines, big, big lines, forest and the hills. And there are some swāmīs, they have a little hut, a little water pond. Somewhere he is going in a village, bringing his food or something, he’s coming and sitting there. Outside, there’s a water pond, and they are drinking water. They are coming and passing him. The sādhu is sitting there. He is going, takes his water, and he’s going to the toilet outside. Sometimes in the forest, tigers also, or the lions. They’ve just passed because they know this sādhu is our friend. Sometimes he’s bringing no water, he’s bringing the water. So that sādhu is sitting, and he said, "I am not, how to say, not angry with them or afraid. It is." Go in there. Gujarat and also in many Himalaya side, but these sadhus, others cannot. Like this, who will come? I go now to the Himalaya. I will be there after Kumbh Melā, eat very good things, and now I go to the forest. They will go. That is Prem. Prem kā pyālā prakṛt kab merā bharse? Prem kā pyālā Hari kab merā bharse? Adānā bikārī am pare kare tarse. Bikārī am kare tarse Prem. God bless you. God bless you. Very nice, beautiful, continuous, best of the best bhajan today. You will sing bhajan? Siddhifna Rām Bhagavān Kī Jai, Devadhī Dev Śrī Dev Purījī Mahādeva Kī Jai.

Why are you afraid of me? Let me do the penance; don’t kill me. So, tonight is a night of the silent. Yes, the night of the silence and day of mala. Read the books, sing bhajan, families together. Don’t go out. So now we have now 20 minutes to be silent in all your rooms. Don’t go to that one, don’t go. In the night, to that one, don’t say, "How are you?" Not this. All silent, myself. One in all and all in one within myself. The government said we have to bring back good life. Thank you very much.
