You know all about prayers. In many countries and different religions, everyone is praying. Some felt very devoted toward God, wondering how to come to God, how to see God. For example, the Jews were in the desert searching for water, and they were told to strike the rock. On the other side of the rock was water. This was told to me by one of my very nice Jewish friends. He explained that they all go toward the wall wanting to open it, for there is water. Or perhaps it is different; I have not thought so deeply about their religions, but of course I know of them. I see many people. And also regarding the Christians: there are many, many different kinds of religion within Christianity. When you go to America, you will see how many different kinds of Christians there are. So in many other countries, and also here in Europe, they worship differently, but it is in the name of Jesus, the Holy Mother, etc. There are ceremonies—many, many different kinds of ceremonies. Also, the Christians once a year give a tilak here. This is the same as from the fire. Fire is there, and we have it every month, every day. Why is it like that? I have only asked them, and they said, "We are giving this sand," or earth above ash. It has something, because that is called the kiśmat. Kiśmat is more like a Muslim word, but it is very nice, very good. Many people, all Indians also, use it. That is very important. Kismat means luck. This kiśmat means... I will tell you, because one thinks of only one word. Kismet is so vast you cannot think. And kiśmat is that we are full of the kiśmat. For example, you drive your car and an accident happens, but nothing happens to you. It was my kiśmat. Or I was going to school, and when I got there all my records were very good. Oh, that was my kismet. I want to go swimming, and it was nice, good, clean water, and we went swimming. It was my kismet. Oh my God, there was one girl... He is a very nice boy, very good. He wants to marry me. It's my kismet. What a good boy I found. Or, what a good girl I found. But after some time, that time is not. That time was very good. For example, in Christianity, when you marry your wife, then if one dies, the other will not want to marry again. Yes, now it is different. When I came here to this part of Europe, of course many, when they married and then something happened—one died—they would not marry others. And if someone is marrying, it will not be in the church. And now people don't care if it is in the church or not. "I will marry and then let go. I will go to others." Now it is a rum-dick-dack-dick-dack start, but that was what God has given. So, let's say two males marry—he and he, male and male. They marry; of course they want to have children, maybe. They have emotion, probably toward male and female, but not for so long. Slowly, slowly they become more like a mother and father, like this sometimes. Sometimes the husband says to his wife something like a mother, so it is not about something emotional, but about love. But love is there: that this is my friend, my husband, my father, or my wife, and we are at home and we are very happy. We can work with each other, protecting each other. That is very important at times, and that is why also your marriage was only one in the church or in the temple. But now, you marry today, and after three days you go by another's car, meet somebody, and you say, "I don't want to go with this girl." So this means that if we lost it, it is like one bird sitting here flies to another tree, and from another tree... But still there are many, many who are very good in the church, in the temples, and others. You see, there are many villages with very nice people. So that is because of their kiśmat. And those who are in big cities have no kiśmat. They are here and there, I don't know. So, because we were in our society... We were in one village. After a few kilometers, there's another village. But about people, there are a hundred houses, or a hundred houses, but they are all very close to each other. Children know each other very well in their school. Coming home—my house, my house, my mom—everyone is very nice in village life. But in very big cities, we don't know from which countries one has come, how will they come? So there is that. In such a big city, also there is a kiṣmat. They were working; there were some companies doing like this. They have taken a lot of money, and they call it my kishmat. And money you have, and then your money is gone. How kismat is not. So, in some very big companies, they take some money—a lot of money—and then, without something, they caught money only. And then they use all this money for something: going to one country, to other countries, giving more money, little money. There is a party that I don't know, I never saw, but there was a party where people are moving money inside. Hmm? Casino! I have never seen it, but it is a casino. So, there is a casino and a kismat. So, there is a kismat, and there is a casino. Oh, a casino, a casino. And you know what for us a casino means? It means to slaughter animals. Yes, you see? So there are always people thinking like that. So money is very much, but you know, everyone knows where your money is, and so one goes to take somebody, some other village, countries, some go with other people, like this. And there are many companies together, and about one, two, three months, they are controlling, looking. And money was... where is the money gone? And then comes the police and tight like this. What is this? Tantsui, tantsui,... vikoce, vikoce,... come on. Yeah, my God. And where does it go? To some other room. Not in the beautiful hotel. How many years? This is not a kishmat. That is not good, no good luck. Where it was a good, not good luck, my guy. So luck, luck means very good luck. So many things there, but also the luck means good things. So, that person, why do they do it? They do many things. I don't know how it is. So, kishmat is something, God's kishmat. And so, when you have a very nice boy, then the kiśmat of the girl and the kiśmat of the boy, they are so happy. So happy, happy, not hippie. Yes, but they are doing, and this is so, my dear. That is what I wanted to tell you, but because Umapurī told me something, only one word. So, one word? Every word is not only one word. Yes, only one alphabet. If you have this one 'P', the 'P', but we don't know this 'P' is only one, but other letters come to form other words besides. Which kind will it come? Will words come negative, or will more beautiful words go to the good people in the church, temple, mosque, everywhere in good things? Or can it be on the other side? How do the numbers and names come? And that's why our kismet, our luck... We are good, we are happy that I wanted to come to this Praśana Satsaṅg. And so those who have a kiṣmat, they will at least three times say praṇām to God, or prayers. Even you know, many, many, many people, when they go to the car, sitting in the car, they make praṇām. Some do like this. Yes, that's for my kismet. It will always be good, very good. And sometimes, black kismet. And when the kismet dies in the accident... I have my kishmat bugs going in my hair. With my crack, it will go. So you have kiśmat. They said, everybody said, "I don't know." Some said, "OK, this or this." But more said, "I want a boy. I hope I will have a boy." Why do they always say, "The boy should come, the boy should come"? So then, it is said, God said, because one always said, "Boys, boys, boys." But they are saying inside, God is there. It should be more girls, and they said girls have a qismat, qismat, qismat. But the girls, they really, really want to have a good man. A good boy will have a good house, and boys also. I hope such a girl will be that my house will be very nice again. Kishmat, there are many different kinds of kishmat. There were two boys, and they were very good friends, and they were very spiritual. They used to go to the temples, and they used to go to satsaṅg. And in satsaṅg, they had one guru. So he has only an ashram. And like this we are, people come in the evening and sing bhajans, sometimes Gurujī is making lectures, and people come and people go. There were two young boys from college, and when all people went, they were still cleaning everything and giving blessings from Gurujī. They were massaging. And said, "Gurujī, do you want milk or something? Now can we go home?" So they were nice men. Their voice was so good. One day, they said, "We have cinema." This cinema today is very nice. Let's go to the cinema today. Why? Oh, we don't know, but it is something very interesting. The other boy said, "No, we don't know what they are doing there," and this and that. We saw your casino, not casino. This is different. So one friend said, "I will go." He said, "I will go to Gurujī." Well, one went there, the other one there. And the next day, the man who was in the cinema—five minutes, ten minutes, something—and then there was so much dancing and this and that, and he was sitting there like this. He wanted... I don't know what the cinema is looking, I also am not in the cinema, but I said, "I don't want to go to cinema," but the kismat is coming, or the kismat or not kismat, so it is said, "If you don't want to go to cinema now, then..." Lifelong, you will have this cinema. So he went there, and on the way, he found some silver coins. Five, six there were. It was expensive, very expensive. So he went home, he said, "It's my kismat." Because all the time he was thinking about Gurujī. And the other one, when he went after, he got a thorn in his foot. Well, morning, both brothers came together. He said, "What did you see in the cinema?" He said, "Oh God, they were dancing naked inside. And this, my whole Gurujī's satsaṅg, all my, my, I'm very sad I was. But, you know, when I went, I got so many coins on the way. This was my kismet. And how about you?" He said, "My God, the whole satsaṅg time I was only thinking about you. We don't know what kind of dancers were dancing on the dance floor. How was it there? But their dress is like this, up and down. And when I went, there was a thorn in my foot." You got gold coins, and he had a thorn. "Gurujī, I do always, and what happened? I have the thorn. And he was in such a satsaṅg that is kusaṅg." Satsaṅg, kusaṅg. Satsaṅg is like this. And ku-saṅg is many things: drinking, going, cleaning, mind. Well, they said, "Tomorrow we will go to Gurujī, and we will tell Gurujī, 'Please, Gurujī, give us what we can do.'" Gurujī said, "Your kishmat was very down. But you had a kismat, but you didn't come to the satsaṅg. You were in the cinema. So only a few coins came. Otherwise, you would have become great, great, great." And he said, "Gurujī, what have I done? I have thorns." "Yes, you had not good kishmat. You could have died, but because of the Yuban Satsaṅg, only the thorns came, and your was good kishmat." So that is, we don't know when or how it's coming. Always, we are very good and live, and suddenly it is said, "You are angry." Therefore, that's very important: how to do, how to be. But we are in our life, and in life we did many things, but you have to come back again. Therefore, it is something. Tomorrow will be satsaṅg. More now, where we will go, there is another satsaṅg, and this satsaṅg is called the friends and all eating, sitting together, like always. Definitely, in little villages, always after eating, people are coming outside and sitting all together, and so. We have this. If we want, we will sit. Otherwise, you are tired, you can go to sleep.
