The living God

The light is twofold: the external sun and the internal light within all. This inner light is constant, unlike the rising and setting sun. The science of the material world is great, yet different from the science of yoga. A story illustrates this: a professor of science questions a meditating yogi about God, seeing nothing. After a flower falls on the yogi, the professor dreams the yogi becomes his guru, showing spiritual realization surpasses intellectual knowledge. Many claim one external God, yet in Sanātana Dharma, the divine is lived and expressed through countless devotional songs and realizations. You ask if I have seen God. I have looked from airplanes and never seen a form. Yet God is within the heart. When that life force departs, the body dies. Therefore, each being is a living God, like a drop containing the whole ocean or a spark holding the full fire's power. All living creatures possess this same life. Consuming other lives creates a karmic debt, as one must repay by becoming that which one has eaten. The truth is to recognize the living God within and cease causing harm.

"Have you ever seen God? I have never seen a God."

"God is within your heart. You are God. I am God."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Mādhāvānanda Jī Kī Jai. Guru Deva Kī Jai. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Devādhi Deva, Deva Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī. Sadguru Svāmī Mādhāvan Jī Bhagavān Kī. Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī. Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī. Māta Pitā Gurudeva Kī Jai. A very good evening to you, or perhaps it is morning for some. Some were sleeping and are now waking up. This means that around the whole world, that Prakāśa, that light, is everywhere. That light is twofold. One is what we see, like the sun rising. The second is that light within ourselves. But we do not understand how to know why there is light or dark. Dark is when we think the sun is setting and we go. This is the difference. But that kind of light, if it comes, is with us all the time. Yogī Janakī Yog Nidrā. Yogī Janakī Yog Nidrā. Sare viśvame prakāśa is coming there. Our Ārādhī Bhagavān, Swāmī Śrī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, He is the great light in these times. Everywhere in India, he was all the time thinking, making pūjā, etc., to know that his guru is Bhagavān Mādhāvānandajī and Mahāprabhujī. Now, there are different things. Every difference in all countries, many, many countries. So, how many countries are there in the world? Some know, and why should we want to know all? But we want to be. So, in all countries, every country has a flag. What is the flag of India? Tirangā. So, there are many countries, and they have their flags. And that flag means happiness, joy, good, everything. I have been through so many worlds because of Mahāprabhujī, because of Mahāprabhujī’s grace. Prakāśa, Pūjām, Mṛtka, Sāgara, Śrī Dīpā, Hari, Mahādanī. Sare viśvame goñjarāhiye, Prabhukī amarānī. Ye jo śabda, what, just now they were making bhajan here, and I thought I will tell something. So, Prakāśa Puñja, wo Prakāśa hai, that Prakāśa hai, Jñāna, the Jñāna. Through this, in Yoga, now we have two things. We have what we call the science. And science is going higher and higher. It’s very good, very great, everything, but also our aeroplane. It was that time when Śiva. That time, Śiva, and from there, Śaṅkara Bhagavān, he gave us this. And you know, Bhagavān, who made this helicopter? It was our Bhagavān, Rāmakathā. Okay, doesn’t matter; it was everywhere. But now it is very, very good, very scientific. So, all of this is what we call the science, the science. The second is the science of the yogīs. That is through yoga. Yoga is the science of humans. Yoga, that is also great. And this is also great, but those who are scientists, everything did very good. Many are spiritual also, and some said no, they don’t think of any, that is, there is no guru or not this and that, and some people are thinking like this. Once our Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, told a story. It was in Gujarat, and there was a park, a beautiful park. In the park, there is a university or a college somewhere in Gujarat. And there is one professor, or maybe more. So, every day, morning and evening, that one person wears a very nice stick and a very nice cap, and walks around the well. Every day, he is going very nicely with the cap and leg; he is going very perfectly. There was one yogī, a man, and every day he was sitting there, also under the tree. Sometimes there was too much sun, and this and that, and he was meditating like this. And the professor, always looking, and all the time when he’s passing by, he sees this boy, Kankerai, and he’s meditating. What is that? What is that? One day he thought, "I must tell him something and give this boy something to learn." This is that. What is that? You come to me, I will teach you, and further we will come to the science. The yogī was sitting like this, and that professor came and said, then he opened. He said, "What are you doing here?" He said, "I am meditating on God." Where is God? What are you doing there? There is nothing. He said, "No, God is God. No, don’t make your life away. Get up, and I will teach you something." He said, "What will you teach me, sir? Yes, because there is nothing." He said, "I will bring you to my college, and I will teach you this." And where is God? He said, "God is here, up." He said, "How is God? What is God doing? God does great. Why are you sitting under this tree? Yes, that is a big tree." And what happened? On his head, in that, under the Neem tree, on the Neem branch, a flower fell, which was coming down slowly, and it fell on him. Then he said, "Oh, what happened? What is that?" There is nothing, he said, "No, no..." What means, you said nothing? Nothing is something that is nothing. Little, if this will fall on you, that is nothing. He said, there is a very big fruit, tarboos. Tarboos? What does this mean? Big trees should be like that, and this should be like this. And Daddy showed how to bring this there. He said, "If that turban is on your head, what will happen?" Oh yes, this is. Yes, you. But nothing that, you come to me, and so he was sending this in that way. So science, he said, oh yes, I should talk more about the science. He said, "Science is already, first of all, such a big fruit. How will you go to it?" To Paramatmā, God has given the dawn on the earth, which is for everybody’s benefit. And for little, little fruits, the down, it is okay that God has done. Oh yes, I think I will tell more about God and tell you. He says, "Sir, tomorrow when you come, I will give you—you should give me some lesson, please, you my sir. But I am meditating now, sir, you can go." The next morning, he comes there and stands there again, and he was meditating. What he said, that professor, he put his head on his stick, and he was sitting there. And that yogī opened and said, "Sir, you are—what are you doing here?" He said, "In the night I was thinking so much, and then I was sleeping. In the dream, it is said, he told me that the lesson by thee to me, for that you are my guru." Who said that? Professor. So, like this, Sanātana Dharma, now it is coming. It is said, "There is my Guru or my God." Every country has a God. Of course, why not? And it has to be. But they have one God, and now they have nobody else. Worshipping every year and so, that’s only that one, and we cannot worship another because it is that only. That means there is no other God. But Sanātana Dharma, by the gods, all in Sanātana Dharma, there is, for example, let’s say, many countries, and they have very good bhajans, not bhajan or bhajans, some song. And their songs have only two or three words, or sometimes maybe it did. See me, any that who can have so many bhajans in other countries in them. And we can see in any book, any person, so many, so many bhajans. Hai ke ko ni? Jitne sādhu, sant ho, little child is singing. Every woman is singing bhajans. All men are singing bhajans. And not only are they singing their bhajans, but they are composing the bhajans. Have they anywhere, somewhere like this in the world? And that’s because Satya Sanātana Dharma, or that Sanātana Dharma, from there to come to this. Now, what is this? So, it is said, God is only one there, and this and that, and this was said. Now, I will tell you, and you should also tell me, and tell everyone, please. Kyā āpne kabhī Bhagavān dekā? Have you ever seen God? And if, then please show me. Myself, I have flown so many times around the world in airplanes. And it was about, how much, nine hours or more? I look, night, maybe some stars, down, side. I have never seen a God. Agar āp dekhe vā to jāne māne batā do sā, sabhī jagat dekhā hindī. So, did you see God? Did you see God? You see God? But we have in this, in our Sanātana dharmas and yogīs, these are all from the yogīs. And so we have living India, living God, living this. In which way? Now, one God is this, which is great, and so people have told us good, and good, and... good. But it is like this. We all have sinned against God. Everyone has sinned against God. And I will tell you about God in a moment. I will tell all of you about God right now. Which God is there? In your heart. You have it, haven’t you? My time is passing. That, and when, what does it mean to die? When God goes out, we are all finished; the body is gone. So, living God. We are living God, everyone. You are God. I am God. There is a big ocean, and then there are rivers, there is a pond, and we are in the clouds, and we see the water, perhaps. And we see only one drop of the water coming from the dripping on our palm. And what is that drop of water? That one drop, which is there, that too is an ocean, a complete ocean. What is it that is near me, and what is it like? So what does it become? The ocean. Pūrā ocean ban gayā. Or, let’s say, the fire is burning, a lot of fire has burned, how much it burns, how great you are, but just a little spark, just a little, can also burn everything. So, that is a burning, and which is just now, it is, both have the fire in. Similarly, that God which we are thinking of there, or each and every one of us, we are living in ourselves, we are living God in our heart, and before that, it is coming to our Father, yes, and that creates that fire. And mother and mother make the little child, and that is that. Now, the other will go, but that is leaving that again. And so, Sanātana Dharma, all is called, is called living life, living, living God. We are all. If you don’t want to, then go and see. If you, let’s say, I don’t know, then cut your finger. Oh, oh. Or then it is said, "I go, you can cut your fingers and everything, nothing will happen." So, living, we are sanātana dharma. We have to come all in this way to know that really, even a little mosquito is also that life inside, like I told you, a little drop of the water from anywhere. That’s why, in India, long ago, but now, I cannot say, because I’m about 52 years, I’m in other countries, and I did not think about and see in our India and in Rajasthan also. So, at that time, in my house in Jodhpur, there used to be a place where eggs would go, and other places where it would happen. Now, all the eggs and grains are eaten, the cows have become the eaters here. Oh brother, what are you doing? Voham Sanātana Kā, Satya Sanātana Kā jo hotā hai, usko āp kaise kar riyā diyā hai, hai, lekin uske andar mein phir doosrā ho gayā, to usme hai, sab janwar, jo bhī hai, living creatures, we died, all have the One path, and in its joy, like humans have, their life for the second, that will go, others will fall again right now. That’s why this bhajan was, was, Prakāśa, Prakāśa, Poñjayam, Ṛttaka, Sāgara, Śrī. Dīpa, Hari, Mahā, Sare Viśvame Goñjarāhi, Maheśvarānanda ne goñjar karā diye, Sare Viśvame Goñjagarī. So in this way, we have to give everyone the truth, the true life, that I am alive, whatever meat was eaten, the one who was cut, the one who died. After doing so much for you, I will come forward again. I was in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. So when I was there, one sādhu, and that sādhu was nearly 108 years or something more. And they are, we went from here, those people went from here. So that old man was sitting, Guru, he was a saint, and I was there. So I said to Tafiji, he is Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Swami Maheśvarānanda. So Mahārāj Puran, he was a laborer, so he came and sat, satsaṅga, so he brought me, so I went. He went up, and he wanted to give the blessings or something to me. I said, no, no, you are great. He said, "No, no, you are Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara." And in that way, after that, we will go home, okay? Uske bād mein ghar chalenge, ṭhīk hai, khānā pīnā karā denge. To, vahāṅ jahāṅ baithe, what did he say? He said, "How many fish were you eating?" First, you have to become a fish so many times, and they will eat you. Then, bakrī kā, kutte kā, bheṅs kā, jis janvaron kā, jisne jo māṁsa khāyā hai, jo kaṭā huā hai, jīnde ko khāke khāyā thā, usko tumhe ko, bhai uske paise to vāpas denā paḍtā nā. What you are doing now, how many ages you will have to die in it, what happened in it, now what do you do? So I was listening, then later, there was an old man sitting there, so he said, "O ek buddho lo karo, yun jaane betho Mahārāj Jī, yun Mainī khāun, Mainī khāun, konī kā dāhī Mainī kyā bolī, yun kariyon, khāun, konī vairā." Chere to shol jayega andar me. Haan, dekh le na, marengi. To chahe āp, anyone you are, humans or animals or anything, jab vo martā hai na, uske bād dekh lo ki voh kāṁ jayā nai. To koī brāhmaṇa hai aur nai voh kīśya hai aur nītrā koī voh dūśra hai, sabhī hai śarīra mese prāṁ to chilā gayā aur vyab pada hai. Chai, who does it belong to? Who does it not belong to? Hey Prabhu, my God. Then it is said, "Please, please... I did not know. I did not know. Please forgive me. I will never do it anymore, please." And so, the many peoples in many, many countries, Maheśvarānanda ke dvārā kitnō ko māṁsa mokērā chhoṛā diyā. Abhi yahā baithā hai na, sabhī videśa mein. And when we were here, now in Croatia, now in Vimaryan, right, Karuṇā. To, amara jo hai yoga in daily life. So, my yoga and daily life are from there, so I was told that you are saying that yoga, yoga... So I said that my yoga is yoga and daily life. How many of you must have died from that disease? So my old ones are something like this, of course. Otherwise, my yoga and... Daily life, and they did not die so much. Maybe one doctor and nurse were working there, but they came back again. But they said yes, and India, you may add your do. Ab main nahī̃ ke saktā hū̃, ke buno ne khāyā ke nahī̃ khāyā. Isliye ke many people jo jo mar rahe hain, main kā vo bhī main nahī̃ ke saktā hū̃. Abhi abhi agar hamāre kar de, to hamāre lie saimpla. Sabhī ko kar dī jīye ki āj se bār meṁ aṇḍā, māṁsa, madhira nahī̃ karūṁgā. He Prabhu, galtī kar dī, galtī kar dī. Aur Śyām subah pūjā kar kar ke, kar kar ke kare to voī hogā. Vo Sab Dukh Jo Hotā Hai, Vo Dukh Chalā Jāyegā. That is why, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Devādhi Deva, Deva Purīṣa Mahādeva, Alakh Purījī Mahādeva Kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Kī Jaya Ho, Madhavānandajī Kī Jaya Ho.
