Good evening to all our dear sisters and brothers around the world, in yoga and daily life, wherever we are, in all yoga centers, ashrams, and everywhere. We are all humans, and as humans we are now thinking very deeply about what we can do, how we can emerge from this Corona disease. Many people are suffering and are very sad. Mahāprabhujī kā prasāda hai kevalam—it is only by His grace. In India and other large countries, indeed in the whole world, all governments are trying very hard and very sincerely to return to peace, harmony, and a healthy life. Still, many people do not understand, or they do not want to understand. So it is that if one person is not wearing a mask, others may be. But a person without a mask who talks, speaks, and spreads things to others—there are now many yogīs, many brahmins, paṇḍits, and similar spiritual practitioners. They take up sādhanā, different kinds of sādhanā. Sādhanā means that we should learn something, speak something, and purify our body, our thoughts, and so on. Many, many people—many brahmins, yogīs—are performing numerous prayers and mantras. A mantra is also like a medicine; that mantra is a power within. But people have lost the knowledge of how to chant, how long to sit, and how to cleanse the body. We must go under water, wash our entire body, remove all clothes, then put on clean ones, and only then go to the temple—or everyone has a small temple in their house. Each person has their own goddess, god, or guru, and according to that, they chant their mantras. Yet if we do not properly clean ourselves even during sleep, then our mind is somewhere else. It is true that all the centers in the body are trying to purify and relax the whole system, but at the same time, we need to expel negative energy from our body. During sleep, we bring it out. That is why when we wake in the morning, we cannot instantly jump up and run; we slowly emerge, feeling as if we are lazy. This is because throughout the whole night, all the different kinds of centers in the body’s machinery have been working, trying to expel everything that is not good. So when we come to water, we wash ourselves, and then we approach the altar of Guru, Gurudev, or whichever deity we wish to worship. We come there with pure thinking, pure words, pure feelings, and as a humble being. Not with the attitude of commanding God: “Please give me today, and let my work be good, and this and that.” Not immediately. You know that many people either never visit the temple, or when they come to the pictures or statues, or to the living Gurudev, what do we say? We come and say, “Gurudev, please, thank you very much, and bless me with this and that.” We are always asking, asking. Do not ask. Mostly, when students come—it is their exam time—they go to temples and deities at home and plead with God to get good marks and a good name. Why? First, they should go, chant mantras, offer kind words, peace, and many auspicious things; they should sing bhajans about the Guru or God. But no, we have no time. We quickly approach God and say, “Please, today I will take this and that.” Then God says, “I am not your servant.” Many who behave like this eventually stop coming near the altar. Because in the altar, it is not only a picture: God is standing there, sitting there. Believe. Belief is the key. It is said, if you declare something good or not good, God says, “I do not ask anything.” If you call it good or not good, that is your problem. If you believe with confidence, then the whole energy in your body, all the organs—heart, eyes, mood, words, ears, everything—and then you bow down. Not to quickly ask, “Please make me healthy and give me this and that.” No, that will happen. God says, “Don’t ask me. I know when you come to Me, I know why you came. And you will be taken care of; I will give to you.” But you keep talking again and again. Then He says, “Okay, go as you like.” We have śakti, bhakti, jñāna—all this we need very much; they are very, very beautiful. So always, when we come at night, we have released a great deal of energy from the body, similar to oxygen. Good oxygen is inside, and the other is expelled. Therefore, the first thing is to wash, offer praṇām, and practice your mantra. What mantra do we have? For example: “Oṁ Prabhudīp Nirañjan Śabdūk Banjan. Oṁ Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Gurur Kṛpā.” But do not say, “Please give me this, please give me that.” God asks, “Why? Have you cleaned your body? Have you cleansed your thoughts? What are you doing?” There are many things happening now. Morning, evening, any time—but in the morning, when you wash yourself, you are very fresh, and energy comes very strongly. In this way, I have heard over these past two days that many people have performed some kind of yajñas, or mantras, and various kriyās. It is said that many who were ill have become healthy again. This has been reported by many, many people. So, medicine is also good, but spiritual medicine is something different. Yet, what kind of spiritualities are we practicing now—what we talk about, how we think, so many things. I can tell you that we who are here from many countries, we came here—I also came here—but I think many of us have different vṛttis. A vṛtti can destroy everything, and it dwells within. You do not speak it outwardly. There are... always, if someone comes and says, “Go away from me,” it means, “You are not good. You are like that.” Please. Sometimes, you know, there are grandmothers, and when the children come from school or work, the grandmothers are very happy, very nice and good. But if that is not the case, if there is negative thinking and negative thoughts, then many glands in the body produce negative energy. Good energy, good hormones are absent, and other, detrimental ones emerge. That is why yogīs, brahmins, or those who have studied the Vedas or other holy books, read, read, and read those scriptures. And yet, how many people nowadays read their holy book two or three times? That’s it. When you go to bed, do you bow down? Do you think to understand or read? Remember, that’s it. “God, I am going to lie down and sleep. Please keep me safe in sleep and wake me up.” Yes. So, God is extremely alert for every creature. If we can come to see this, it will be very, very beautiful. Do not think, “This is not a good person. I don’t like this. I don’t want it; I want it like this.” When we say such things, a tremendous amount of energy is already stretching in the brain. Everything is like that. So today I try to think: “Peace, peace...” Harmony, love, understanding, giving to others, humility, kindness. My dears, my friends, thank you. Then our whole body will become more healthy and more good. Therefore, we shall reflect. When you leave this satsaṅg now, wherever you go, how are you thinking and how are you running inside? I know that very well. And so you are the bhaktas; you are the students. Even if you are old, you are students, disciples. A disciple is like your own father and mother combined. Your other sons may be professors or presidents, but for a mother, he is not “Mr. President”—he is “my child.” Mother, yes, because that is the truth. Mother and father are a very powerful energy for all three: mother, father, and the child. Animals, too. All these four together are within the power, the energy of guru or God, or something like that. Think about that. How will you go now? I will ask you now, and perhaps tomorrow you can tell me what you did. How could you not sleep? Restless, listless, faceless—so we are not even one hundred percent. Yes, I tell you. I wash myself three or four times, my face and everything, because I go to the bathroom. Yes, very good, nice water, clean, and all that. But still, but still... Gurudev is here, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī, Devpurījī, Alakhpurījī, yet our body is not pure. Our thoughts may perhaps be pure, but inside our bodies there are more impurities than purities. That is why we wash with water and do many things to cleanse our bodies—very, very much. And if we are not working, only sleeping, lying down, and cheating, then we become lazy. What does lazy mean? It means that, again, the energy is not clean, not clean. Many things are dying in the body—certain different kinds of cells. Therefore, the question is how to purify for everyone, not just for one person. Now we are all here, and all will become clean automatically. Very nice. That is something we know. And so, just like in the bhajans—the very best bhajan should be all-purifying, purifying everything. Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Whoever sings it, drink it.
