Our jīvana is for the sādhanā. Sādhanā means we do all very good things. We bring ourselves onto the good path; we do good things. We are listening, hearing, singing, practicing, and meditating. In our beautiful ashram, Bhagavān Śrī Mahāprabhujī’s mandir ashram, with Bhagavān Śrī Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, we have been here for more than 20 years. This is a beautiful atmosphere in a beautiful village. The people here in this city or village are very good, peaceful people, and there is a spiritual essence coming from within. So many Bhaktas come, and many have living houses here because they want to be under the shade of this ashram. People come here to Barikhatu, Nepal, Jardin, all in Rajasthan and India, and from other parts of the world. Our Satguru Dev, Madhavānandjī Bhagavān, and all the holy gurujīs we revere here, have been to Czechoslovakia two or three times. It is a very nice place. Sādhanā means we do good things. It means we should not engage in nonsense thinking or create noise and empty joys. O human life! Consider what God has given in the form of a human being. How many times has this Jīva, the Jīvātmā, come and gone? In which life were we? Do not think the soul is very big or very small. Do not think only the elephant is good, or the buffalo, etc. Humans and even the tiniest animals are all equal. But they are in different forms; they came and have to go through all this. For example, our Gurudev said, "Look at the ocean. We are all happy when we see it." We cannot see where it ends from this side. All the seven oceans contain so much water. Yet, a very fine drop of water is of the same essence as the ocean. Perhaps we are in a very hot, dry time with no water, feeling sad. But even a single drop of water comes from the ocean—from a very big ocean, big clouds, a vast layer, many rivers. Somewhere there is only a drop. Both are equal. Somewhere there is a very big fire, a volcano, and somewhere a small depth of water. They are all water, and one day they will all return to the ocean. This is the nature of water: the ocean, the rivers, vast bodies of water, and a tiny drop. This is the point: when a human does not understand or see God, who brought us so far as humans. O my Lord, O my God, O my Deity! God has made us, but what is that? Human, still you do not understand? Why did you come in a human body? It is said that once Bhagavān Śaṅkara Śiva was approached by a Rākṣasa who demanded a boon. Brahmā came, and the Rākṣasa said, "Please give me immortality." Brahmā said, "That cannot be. Even Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu will change themselves. I cannot give you immortality, but I can grant a long life." The Rākṣasa then said, "Give me the power to do something great." He said, "Wherever I put my hand on someone's head, that being will die. It will be fire." Śiva granted this blessing. The Rākṣasa then said, "Śiva, how should I know it works? Let me test it on you." Śiva said, "You will burn me?" and began to run. God also has to act. He ran and ran until he came to a very big rock with a cave. Viṣṇu appeared. Śiva cried, "Oh my Lord! The Rākṣasa will kill everyone!" Viṣṇu said, "Hide here." Viṣṇu, who can make everything, transformed into a beautiful lady, a very nice dancer with fine ornaments—a beautiful woman. Every woman is a beauty; do not say a woman is not beautiful. Every woman is the beauty of beauty, but you may not see it. So Viṣṇu came thus. The Rākṣasa, looking for Śiva, saw her and said, "Oh, this can be my wife." He said, "I want to marry you." Viṣṇu, as the girl, said, "If you can dance with me, that would be perfect, and you will be great. But first you must learn dancing." The Rākṣasa agreed. Viṣṇu said, "Stand on that rock about 50 meters away. I am on another rock. You must learn, then you can marry me." Viṣṇu, as the girl, made various dance figures. The Rākṣasa imitated them. "Let's go, chal, da-da-da-dang-dang-dang," said the Rākṣasa. "La-la-la-la-la-la. Tak-ti-tak. Tak-ta-ta-ta-ta." The Rākṣasa said, "Ta-ta-ta." Then, in his excitement, he put his hand on his own head. Prrr—fire! Because his head was on his head, he began to burn. Bhagavān, God, knows everything. They are God. Spirituality is all, but some are filled with negative energy from inside. They always tell others, "This is not good, I don’t want this," and they go astray. We are all here to become one—one in all and all in one. You are my brothers, sisters, my students, my disciples. My guru has given me to be a guru. What is that guru? It is said to be like the sun. When the sun rises, it is not only for us. It is for everywhere, everything—all little animals, all trees, waters, everything. The sunrise does not say, "No, I will not shine on this." Even if we sit inside a house, the heat and light of the sun are there. If you think, "I don’t want this; I want only for myself," then you go into darkness, somewhere under the earth. There are people and many animals who come out at night, and when light comes, they go back into the earth. We all seek oneness. Those who separate themselves, saying, "I don’t want this, I don’t take this," will sooner or later split off. We do not want to split. We want to become one with the light of the sun, the ocean, and the earth—with all that is beautiful. That is what our whole body is. We have the sun within; we have the ocean within. Our body is what we need, and we must realize it. We must realize ourselves. As long as we sometimes think, "This is not good, I don’t want that," it means we are lost. It means all dirty water goes out of the Gaṅgā, and all dirty water will go to the Gaṅgā. The Gaṅgā will make it pure. So you are all Gaṅgā. Become a Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā Devī. Gaṅgā Sarasvatī. Alaknandā. You are all this. That is inside. We went to Alakpurī, Alaknandā. I thought I would go into the water. It looked like very little water, but it was so powerful we could not cross. People were falling down; I also fell down. So water is water. Water is powerful. You may think it is just a little, but it is not. All our bhaktas went to Alakpurījī's. We went, and those who were there entered the water of the Alaknandā River. There were some people—girls, ladies, men—who went in. Through that person, all their negatives went into the river. But sometimes, a very big animal—you know what that is? An elephant. An elephant goes into the river or lake, swims, then comes out. It takes earth and puts it on itself. Other beautiful, clean, nice water is there, and again it takes the dust. So even if you go to Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, or Alaknandā, and you swim or clean yourself, then come out and have negative thinking about someone—"this person is not good"—again the dust is there. It is not easy, my dear. That is why so many spiritual people, through prayers, meditations, concentrations, and helping each other—not killing anybody—strive. It is not easy. We sit with someone very nicely; we clean ourselves, but inside is dirt. You know our body? Our body is not very clean inside. That is why we constantly clean our body. Through what? Our breath. We inhale purities and exhale. Just look at yourself now. Take a moment. Inhale. Ah, nice. Now put your hand there. The exhaled breath is hot and not good. Sometimes people come near, and we go far. Oh humans, the human body is not so pure because we eat everything. That is the problem, and that is why many diseases come to humans. Therefore, practice, practice, practice. We have to clean every day. Our breath in and out pulls out negativity. That is also a thought process, but there are so many. Alakpurījī's river, which flows, will become clean of the clean. And we are all—you are my brothers, sisters, all my mother, father. So let us be more and more pure. Just thinking negative is broken. It is not easy. So many humans, but it does not count for all. Brahmā will see who goes up and who goes down. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Devadhī Dev Dev Puruṣa Mahādev Alag Purījī Mahādev Kī Jaya. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī kī jaya.
