Roots are different

The supreme principle is non-violence, which is the highest dharma. Anger destroys spiritual progress, like breaking a vessel of water at the doorstep. Life is fragile and can end suddenly. We must purify our heart and mind to avoid rebirth. Spiritual practice requires the Guru's grace. Techniques and initiations are like a passport; they are non-transferable and must come from one's root Guru within an authentic lineage. Sharing them with others renders them void for both parties. Respect all teachers, but do not mix or abandon your foundational spiritual connection.

"Anger means it destroys everything. How many years we do sādhanā, and if someone says something and we get angry, we destroy it."

"These techniques... my dears, all my kriyās and techniques, if you go away and you give them further, it’s nothing."

Today is Guru Day, a day dedicated to the Guru. This is why people observe practices like eating only once. For Śiva, it is on Monday. So, every seven days, there is a beneficial observance where you fast for a day. Why? It is connected to the sun and moon. We are human, and for humans, there are many principles through which we can achieve our cosmic Self. Many countries and other religions have all kinds of festivals and observances. But there is one principle called Ahiṃsā. Do you know what Ahiṃsā is? In your language, it is non-violence. So, Ahiṃsā Paramo Dharma. Ahiṃsā means do not do anything wrong to others, do not kill anyone—including animals, everything. Ahiṃsā is the supreme dharma, and that is Paramātmā, Bhagavān, God. This dharma is the holy dharma. So we should do good and not harbor negativity in your heart or your brain. Do not become angry sometimes. Anger means it destroys everything. How many years we do sādhanā, and if someone says something and we get angry, we destroy it. It is like going to bring water from a river or a lake. We bring water in a pot, and when we come to our house, just one step away, we get angry and say, "What?" The pot falls down. Everything is broken. You know this very well, but I will tell you. We know our body is very good, very strong. But it can also happen that suddenly we fall down or something happens, and our body is gone. A few days ago, from our ashram, a very nice person—a couple, they are very nice—the husband went out with his friends somewhere. He came back around midnight on his bike. He did not see, or it seems he did not see, that there was a car. A truck or a bus or something came; I did not know the details. On the spot, he died. He was a beautiful boy, a strong boy, a good boy, a spiritual boy, and he was always ready to help anyone. But suddenly he was gone. So there are two things. Okay, he died very quickly, and it was good that he did not suffer in that way. But we are suffering; we go to the hospital, leaving for the hospital. That is also a kind of punishment. So one has to see within the heart, the brain, the eyes, the movements—in everything. If we have something [negative], then again we have to come back [in another life]. That is why we are all here, and we still have to practice. Maybe some are completely very nice; some are trying very hard. Therefore, Guru Kripa Hi Kevalam. Guru Kripa. Kripa means blessing, mercy. So in everything, it is said, it is something great. But we do not know. I am also not so completely clean. I also say things sometimes, but why? There are two kinds of anger. One lady has a nice child, and she is breastfeeding him. The little child is kicking his legs. The mother is not angry. Now, the child is about five years, or two years, or one year. We get angry with children, but that anger is not from the heart. Not from each. A little anger, but it is the mother’s anger. And the child, within no time, is again happy and says, "Oh, me and good," you see? So there are two kinds of anger, and there are sudden times of anger. There is another kind of anger. His wife said something, and the husband is coming home. He asks, "Did you bring my book? That thing is very important." And she says, "I’m sorry." And the husband is so angry that he slams a glass door. You know what is happening now? For how many days have we been hanging this in the front? Yes, many, many skirts inside. And for a few days, our eyes were looking this side for a little second, that kind of thing. We are angry, and now we see, my dear, my hand, dear, I will not kick again. So anger has many different kinds, and afterward, one is very sad. "Oh God, why? I said, but I did everything," destroyed. So one crystal glass falls down and the glass is broken, but we are also like crystals within that second. Died under the car. Therefore we should... then we will say, "Yes, now we are a yogī." Only just little mantras and little this—is it very much? No, there is nothing. No, no, it is great, but we have broken it now. Can we bring together this glass? Similarly, what have we done? Again, we will say to your father, your mother, your friends, "Don’t worry, we will do it." Or somebody will get angry with me, and they will say, "Okay, Swamiji," or I will say, "Sorry, sorry." Sorry is a sorry, but that is gone. So, one anger is for your love. What is love? Your child, your father, your husband, your wife. Yes, your husband comes in a little angry, but he says, "Darling, I’m sorry." Or she also says it, so it means that was not very deep in our heart. But this heat, the hate, or anger, will be there all the time, the whole life. It doesn’t matter, even for Kṛṣṇa, or Hanumān, or Jesus. Yes, Jesus said many times, "God, I cannot. I don’t want." There was one film in America I was seeing about Jesus, very nice. And you definitely have many things. So Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Buddha, all are on the surface. So when your father is angry, but again he will say, "My son, okay, do this and this." Or the children will say, "Father, I don’t want this and that," and then run away, but again they will come home to the parents. So there are many different kinds of anger and hate, but we should not break that. That is important. So today I was here; I had two programs. They had a mantra, so first I told them, "Come, then our Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, and Kuṇḍalinī," and this we were talking about. And this, what we read, this sādhanā—so cakras, kuṇḍalinīs, cakras—and that’s very, very, I would not say powerful, but very, very good things for us humans. And this I have given to all, many, many of our thousands of yoga students. And there are many doing it, and many have gone out. Every day they are doing it. So, in that, it’s about cakras, kuṇḍalinī. This sādhanā, and in this kriyā... Then I should bring them to the sādhanā of, "You are doing what you are doing," anuṣṭhāna. I was thinking everybody has that kriyā anuṣṭhāna, and anuṣṭhāna, so kriyā anuṣṭhāna sādhanā, and that is different. I thought about what I did with this first, and then I sent them to the Anuṣṭhāna. Because I gave everything to my disciples, so one week he is doing an anuṣṭhāna. Sometimes Swamī is doing. Some Swamis there are doing, so I am happy. I think they are doing all. Today, I open my eyes. Oh, the path is gone, the other side. But no problem, I will control. I will control what I control, not them. My control, I have so much, you see. That’s, sorry, I don’t want to say, but I’ll say that from morning, about nine, seven o’clock morning, till seven in the night. And between is always my machine, which is coming from other countries. I don’t want to put it down. Why? Why? Why can you not sleep, Swamiji? I am like a mother and a little child. And the mother will put the child somewhere, and the mother will sleep about five hours? No. How many times does a mother wake up for a little child? So, like that, the mother is the guru. And so, the little child is all but the students. Then it is coming up. Otherwise, we say, "Finished, tomorrow this, that." So, that’s many things. Now, I was thinking, and I will again bring you to control myself. But my control is that my other ones, they have forgotten. And that, others don’t know how to do now, so they all must have this Kriyā. Kriyā Śakti? So you must have a Kriyā Śakti. I gave some people the name Kriyā Śakti, no? Yes. So again, I will now sit down, and all papers lift and are out and down, and this brings again nicely because it’s for you, not for me. So I will talk about this something, not all, giving the techniques, and many people took it and then they went away, and they are giving this technique to others. And somehow, something is problematic. It is not then going further. Why? Do you understand? I give you something to do. And all who are sitting here, including myself, we have something, and that is yours. Even if you think you know, but it is not yours. So you are from here, the Czech country. All people from these Czech countries. And everyone has their passport. And there are the Hungarians; they have the Hungarian passport, and the Mahiśvarānand here sitting, the Mahiśvarānand has the Indian passport. Can you go with my passport to Hungary? Can you go from your passport? I go to India? So now, how nice we have done. Everyone has a passport. But even you cannot take your passport from your countries, you cannot take that. Understand? And if I take your passport from Austria and go somewhere, yes, I will go to some border, and from there, go where? There. Yes or no? And that passport, they take it out and give it to the other. This looks very simple, but it is very, very strong. And when you have your passport, and you are going to Africa, then they will be very happy, everything, because you have your passport. But you think, "No passport, I’ll take other ones," and you go there. So, in the same way, these techniques—today what I was thinking—so when you will take these gurus, the spiritualists, everyone they have, and it’s very good, and they will give. It is right for them, but mine cannot go to others. So, my dears, all my kriyās and techniques, if you go away and you give them further, it’s nothing. That’s why, you know, you all, my very, very great, beautiful, friendfuls, by all you are so nice to me, and I am also to you. And therefore I said, all techniques, anything I give you, I ask, do you have a mantra from another guru? Then I will say, I am very happy. You have your guru, and you have your guru’s mantra. But that my guru, his guru’s student, he can come to me to learn. And I will respect him like his guru. And I will say, this person who is here, I will say, "Please, your guru is that." But you are like in my house, and I respect you very much, and whatever you need, I will give you. But my guru is that, and my disciple will go to your gurus there, and if that guru will say, "Oh, Māheśvarānanda is nothing, and you are great." He said, "Yes, I give you mantra." That is not a guru. Yes? There is one street here, this Streliki. So one mother gave birth to a child. Otherwise, there is some other mother who got the child. So we cannot change the child. And we cannot be only one woman here; only she has the children. Nobody should have children here, not possible. So, how nice in the street: many, many ladies and many children, and more fathers. That’s beautiful. Your child, when in the hospital, born, and others, and one said, "I need a son. Can you take yours and give me another?" It’s not like this. Then the path is going. Many people in one, on the ocean, Jaya Jays, big Jays boat, all sitting in the boat. How many, you know, sometimes hundreds, but it’s only one boat, and this boat is God, and one captain. But inside, all is different. So God is there, and this human is one, but they live as they are. So if you have some other guru, very good. But if you want to come and practice, of course. Or you can go to other gurus also to learn something, but the root is in me. Then you will be coming to the Param Brahma, Param Guru. So there is one nice bhajan, "Param Guru Swāmījī." So this is that. How will I speak? You are now in Anuṣṭhāna. You are doing, I will not take you back. But please ask them, we have to do this sādhanā. That will be very good. It means I have to give you a passport. And when you take this passport somewhere and use it, then you are lost and they are lost. This is a spiritual passport. We can say, "OK, I want to have a passport in Vienna, Austria." They want to give me the passport, they said. A long time ago, there was a minister. So he said to me, "He was coming to my yoga class." So he said, "Swamiji, you are always asking for a passport, visa, visa. I give you the passport." I said, this is very good, but I was born in Rajasthan. So if you will not give me a visa here, I will go to India or to other countries. "But if you can give me a passport and visa, thank you very much." He said, "Oh, yes." And so also, you should not change your passport here and there. If you want to go to the roots, and of course, do you have two passports? This is your father and mother, two. But roots are very good. We have to know blood. From where is this blood? And this blood with which mother and father, so men think it is what we are saying. This is okay, worldly thing, the worldly things. But similarly like that, but that spiritual or anything that is also like this, but only oneness. We are happy. We are happy, our mother, child. My mother sent you me somewhere? No problem. Father is there also. It’s okay. Wherever we are, but still the womb of your mother, and it doesn’t matter if your father was angry, this and that, but still it was the seed of your father. So we have to come there. Did you understand me or not? What is happening? Who came? It’s okay. So today, this lecture, which I said, is not only for me, but all people and all gurus are thinking like this, and they are happy. So we are everyone, but the roots are there.
