We should unite with the Supreme

The individual seeks union with the cosmic.

A drop of water is held, looking at the vast ocean. The drop wishes to return to its source, the ocean. Until it falls, the drop appears separate. Upon merging, no separation remains. In the same way, individuals see themselves as separate on this earth. Yet the goal is to become one with the cosmic, so there is no return. This body and all possessions will one day cease. The path is walked alone, each following a unique direction. One bird sitting with others will fly its own way. Which direction it takes is unknown. Mothers, fathers, friends, spouses—all are temporary companions. Even physical forms of the divine will dissolve into the ātmā. The drop returns to the ocean and becomes one.

“A drop of water, you have water in, and there will be over the ocean one, no, no... boat. And we are on the ocean. And we have one drop in our hand... Until it falls into the water of the ocean, and then you don’t know who is who.”

“All of you are sitting like one bird sitting on the roof of the house. And these four or five birds, we don’t know, they will fly... One bird flies that side, and one flies the other side.”

Hari Om Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Dev Purīṣya Mahādeva Kī, Mādhāvanānjī Bhagavān Kī, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī. All my dear sisters and brothers, all yogīs around the world, always beautiful things are coming. Always coming good and good and good. Why not? Coming good and good, what? We are getting older and older, yes? That's it. Day by day we are rising up. We are not old. We are getting more and more. Mahāprabhujī, Karatā Mahāprabhujī, Karatā. So, it doesn’t matter how far the child will run, but still, how far will he be? Thirty-five years. And we cannot come there together. And so it is that you have a nice day, a beautiful day, day by day, happiness. And when you are, you think, "Now I am little, and the child is crying, and then a little bit, and I want to have toys and this, and then I want to play, and then I want to do this, and then I want to not go to school." They are playing, but they are growing slowly, slowly coming. And so is the time for all of us. Doesn’t matter how long or short, but this time is going, growing, and growing. We would like to know, and we want to do that. We will come to the, if you call it God or Brahman or whatever it is. We want to come into the purities, the very cleanliness, happiness, love, and joy also in life, and be that. I have achieved my goal, and which goal? That I want to become one with the cosmic. And there I will be again, again, one more. Like what? A drop of water, you have water in, and there will be over the ocean one, no, no... boat. And we are on the ocean. And we have one drop in our hand, and we are looking for water in our hair. One drop is just in our palm, and the ocean is so big. And now this drop wants to say, "I want to go to my water, my ocean." Will you become one? We don’t say, "We want," then you are not anymore. I am here myself. Do you want to be myself, or do you want to know the ocean? Are you sure? I said, "Yes, the drop is nice." Until it falls into the water of the ocean, and then you don’t know who is who. And so it is that we are all like one drop. We know we are on this earth. We are individuals. Our body, everything that it is. But we want to become one with that, so that I will not come back again. Therefore, it is said, "Give me the power, Gurudeva," or any Deva that will come to you. And then you want to become the one. So we are not always crying and running, and this, everything, this is mine, and that and this and that. It will go one day. It’s finished. And you don’t know. You don’t know. Where will you go? Your mother gave you birth. Your father and they gave you a lot of love, respect, knowledge, clothes, school, and so on. But what is there after? What will you go there for then? What? And I don’t know myself, myself, my dear. I’m trying, I’m trying. But still, I’m an individual, and similarly, you are also like that. And I will tell you, to someone I will tell, go towards the east or go there. Go there, tell there. Will you achieve that? I don’t know. But you know that you want to go, your heart, your thoughts, your feelings, what you will be happy, you think so be. And you have five brothers or sisters. All of you are sitting like one bird sitting on the roof of the house. And these four or five birds, we don’t know, they will fly in their eye. One bird flies that side, and one flies the other side, and one flies that side. We cannot say the bird goes that side. If you are in the case, then, of course, you take him to this side or that side. Pichan, Pichan is sitting there in your house, and you think you will be the winner in football. I said yes, it will be. But Kabutra, he will fly; we don’t know which direction. So, my dear, you are, we are this bird. We are like seeing something, and that is very, very... you don’t know if it is your father, your mother, your brother, your friends, your husband, your wife, etc. Not forever. Again, we have to walk on our path. All children of the parents will not go on the same path. We will go there, and there, and there. But one day, that drop of water drops into the ocean, then it becomes one. Therefore, who are you to talk to somebody, "Hey, go there. What will you do there? Hello?" Okay, it is our life, but this is temporary, temporary. So, let’s practice. Let’s have myself and yourself too, so you know where I will go. That’s it. Even what we call God, physically, he will also have to go. Or the Holy Mother, every mother is a Holy Mother, but we don’t know where it will be. And when there is a male or a female, they will melt into the one as the ātmā. That is all the ātmā. Sakala jag ke antara jāmī charāchara kī ātmā, Prabhu charāchara kī ātmā. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, Kī Jaya, Satguru Svāmī Mādhāvanandjī Bhagavān, Kī Jaya, Alakhpurī Jī Mahādeva, Kī Jaya, Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Hari Oṁ. Vishwaguru Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva, Kī Jaya.
