Worship every God and incarnation

Christmas approaches, and with it the remembrance of the holy mother’s suffering and joy. Candles are lit, one already burned, the second soon. People prepare sweets and good things, thinking of Jesus. After Diwali comes Christmas, just as devotion shifts from Krishna to Jesus. Jesus was born among animals, not in a house, because of the mother. Every mother, whether of a god or a simple being, suffers greatly in birth. The cow giving birth also feels pain and then love for her calf. Worship of God must begin with worship of the mother. God is present in all beings—animals, birds, fish. Creatures eat one another and feel pain, but humans are given to sense the pain of others. Yet some humans kill animals and call it ceremony; that cannot be true worship. Hanuman tore his chest to show Rama and Sita in his heart. Similarly, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is shown as a symbol of love. The light of Christmas brings happiness, like Diwali’s light. Before sleep and upon waking, think on the holy mother. Then the divine child will come, not as a baby but as God. Respect all religions; be human first.

"If you worship God, then first worship the mother."

"God is that which is said to be in all animals, birds, fish, and all other creatures."

Good evening, all my dear sisters and brothers. We should all know, and we should meditate and pray. It is already one week that we are at this Christian holy place. So, what is coming now? Christmas. And for Christmas, mostly in every religion and in every country everywhere, what do we think about that? Not only we, but also the children. Every day, children are looking, and there is a light that is lighting. With what? In Europe, we have everything very nicely now. So one candle is already burned, and the second one—when will it be? Sunday. When is Sunday? The day after tomorrow. And in this way, many people—it doesn’t matter if they eat meat and so on—but they are thinking about Jesus. It is like every other religion; many are also worshipping, and some do not want this religion or that religion, and so on. Where are we? Who can all worship, or at least give happiness? And saying about this is a God, or this. If people would all think about how Jesus’ life was—even though it was very hard, he became great, and we all see God. How do we worship? Worship means that we are very happy. He can come back again. He was, and many people, they were also like fasting, counting. Yes, everyone is preparing something good. You know, we had Diwali, so it was after Diwali, and after Diwali is Jesus. So, in Diwali, it is Bhagavān. Who was that? Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, and then Kṛṣṇa. Yes, so you know that who is thinking about more, the Kṛṣṇa, and when they say Kṛṣṇa, they are saying like a little boy, a child, etc. And similarly, what was Jesus? How did we get at him? How was that? You know all the many, many things: where he got birth, where were the cows? There was one, I think, some donkey, and there were some other animals there. And who was there? The Holy Mother. Why was the child born there and not in the house? I cannot tell this all because many things I have lost, I have forgotten. But that was a mother. It is a mother’s. We always know when one’s birth is, whether it is a boy or a girl; it doesn’t matter. Somehow we are very happy, very this, and very not. And so, where we see that some say, “Oh, beautiful,” and this and very good and like that, a darling and so on and this and that—we are born all like this, but like Kṛṣṇa. And we know how Kṛṣṇa was born or incarnated. We tell about Kṛṣṇa, but what was it, how he was born, and his mother, how much she was suffering? And then Kṛṣṇa came and everything again, make something. Similarly, I think, that mother was suffering. From Jesus, but then we came. Jesus came for us, really, and how happy we are. And how we are thinking very much after all nine days, and we are all this one year, no? Twelve. And there, now, for all, worshipping. But for me, I am a little bit that way: always, Jesus is only on the cross. We are thinking, but it is still far, because it was not Pontius Pilate putting him so nicely—not nicely, not good at that time. This is another thing I cannot, because these are Christians, and they are always making things in this way. So, but this is the day. And then there are many things about the different countries. When now in our Europeans, then we said where is Jesus and how mass and the snow and everything beautiful? Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam Mahāprabhujī Karatā. They are making beautiful, good sweets and this and that. They are already making. And some, like in Croatia, Australia, and New Zealand, they said that when it’s so hot, that’s what they want. Oh my God, we are nice, and we go to snow—is it not there?—but we want to go to the ocean. So, this is how the people are. Then we are making this or this and that, but still, we do worship that. That’s such a great saint, like Jesus and like Kṛṣṇa, and you know, also about Rāma, Bhagavān Rāma. You know that also he was going through, and what is that about Sītā? And so, that is very… people don’t know. We are only thinking that we want to have a good dress now, and now we want to be very good, and then we want to have some clothes, and we want to have good eating, and this and that. But others were, many were, every whole way. One month they are worshipping, nicely worshipping this. So the Christian time is now here, my dears. And we are all here, mostly in our āśrams. They are from other countries, different countries. But still, we are coming from where mostly they are worshipping Jesus. And that we should worship. We, in our Hindu tradition, say we worship everyone and we respect everybody, and this. That means that is the one who knows in their heart and in the brain all religious worship. Those who said, “No, only this and that is other, not good,” then it means still you don’t know what is God. God is that which is said to be in all animals, birds, fish, and all other creatures. We love them, we feel them, and that is why it is said that jīva jīva bhakṣate, each and every animal eats each other. Jīva jīva bhakṣate, they are each other’s food. They know they suffer, also, and in pain, and like this, but animals are like that. Then it is said, when it is like this, each and every animal eats the others, then God said, “Why are they all eating each other? Please, can you give what?” And then God has given us as a human. God said that in each and every creature, there is God, the life, this all. But we don’t know that much. Therefore, it is said God gave the humans. And God said this, that jīva jīva akṣati. But now you say that we want something. Then he went to the humans. Of course, it’s not so easy at that time to know that. But slowly, slowly it came that pain is not only for ourselves, but for others also. Yes, and so we came as that kind of humans that we want. They don’t want to, they cannot, and they don’t feel like this pain from there or this. And so, those who are worshipping—so, “jīva jīva bhakṣyate” is different. And what are spiritualities, or feelings, or livings, or blessings? That which is blessing? Humans are blessing. And how do they bless? There are people who say they are worshipping, but they are killing the animals. How they are, animals are very painful, but they say it is a very good ceremony. That cannot be a ceremony. And in that way, I would like to, from my side, for this, for Jesus, I respect very much, love very much, but I cannot feel like that Jesus’ life which was killed or like that. And Rāma was also not so easy, and his parents also, and Kṛṣṇa’s also. So in every god, the mother is very much suffering. She is very painful for her. And not only like that, the birth of the gods, or Jesus, or Kṛṣṇa, or Manoj and Bhagavān, everything. But that mother also, every mother, she was suffering. And therefore it is said, if you worship God, then first worship the mother. Yes, you don’t know, we don’t know, oh boy, oh man, but how a mother is worshipping inside for her child, sister, girls, or the boy—it doesn’t matter. So the mother knows how she is, and what is coming, what is bringing girls or boys. But we feel that this is life, and we wonder how this life is coming. So in every religion, they have their worships, and they should, I hope, and I don’t know, I don’t want to know how they are doing. But in our tradition, that was mostly for Sanātana Dharma, and what is understood as religion in Hinduism, and so on, was full of that. But again, from time to time, they lost the feeling of that, and how many are also taking meat and killing the animals. Then it is said, “That is not you. You are not for that mother, of that mother.” Which mothers? The mothers of the humans. And also, you see, when our animal, our cow, gives birth to a calf, that cow is also suffering. How many months she is suffering, but how she feels? She feels what is love, mother, child. And it’s not easy that she brings such big animals, like cows or buffaloes or something like this. But they know, even if it is so painful, in her heart that mother said, “My child is born.” The cow gives birth, the mother to a baby boy or a girl. Say that, and it’s not that, okay. She knows it is very painful, but she’s so happy, “God, I have my child.” And the people take them and kill them, and the animals are looking there. What is that then? So, in a way, now is the month of Christmas, and people are all happy and looking good, and we are praying that, when we are here, you are in India here, in our āśrams, on that day, we should worship Jesus, very nice, very light, and like this, because that light was very nice. God Rāma and Rāmā have made it very nice, and so it is also because when Hanumānjī came, people said, “Where is God Rāma? There is no Rāma, no God.” He said, “My God is in my heart,” and they said, “There is no, you are not like this,” then you know that. Hanumānjī said, “Where is Rām?” and they said, “Because Rām and Sītā, they went,” but he said, “No, he’s in my heart.” I said, “Where is it in your heart?” And then, you know, Hanumānjī took his nails and tore open his chest, and saw that. There was Sītā, and you see that many, the heart of the God Hanumānjī. And so, after what we see, they are also showing about the same thing, the heart of Jesus. And you see there is also the Jesus heart, there are two. We should know that from time to time. So, God is sometimes, we don’t know where He is and where He is going, everywhere. And so it shows a lot of problems, very wishful, and like following in this way. I wish you, and we will speak more about this, and I’m sure that all our yoga people, yoga in their life, people around the world, from my side to say, we worship Jesus, and we are taking the day, we are coming. Day by day we will come there, so thank you for all of you. And every day before sleeping, or in the morning when you wake up, think about the Holy Mother, okay? Your mother, your mother, and then she will come, that will come, Jesus. Baby, but it’s not a baby, it will be God. We have to know each other. And so it is not only that. Many, many countries and many, many religions, and everybody is thinking about their God, and it is very good. Why not? They are very good. I worship. I wish that all are like this. We should be. And that is not to say that I am only Hindu, or that I am not a Christian, or I am not this, but we all should be humans. In these very nice bhajans, and I was not here for the last three or four days, and we will see again tomorrow. May we, I hope, come to the satsaṅg here, because I have three places to go, but it should and it will be. If I come here earlier again, then I will, of course, come tomorrow; otherwise, I am there. And so, we have very nice, beautiful bhajans of our Ārādya Bhagavān Śrī Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and our Lālā Nanjī is very great. He was very great, very great. And I went to see this year, and some came with me, and I want to see that place of our, yes, yes. And Lālā Nanjī had there a very beautiful, great palace. And he had so many horses like this. And it was very nice. We were with you at Premānandjī’s. And how many sādhus were there? So I wanted to see when we go to the Kelās on Khattū, then we will come to that place to see Lālanānchī Mahārāj, okay? And they want me to come there. Unfortunately, that palace is falling down a little because some people cannot work, and there was this and that. Otherwise, that time was a great thing. Like this, all sādhus were very great. But they know how to do, how to work, how to feel, and this. It’s not easy, it’s not easy that you have that, your power in you that otherwise is gone. And so, very good bhajan, okay, the best one. Yes, Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai.
