Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai Madhāvanājī Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jaya, Satyasanāyatandā Kī Jaya. Every day we sing bhajans, we ask praśna, and we do our best to understand and become yogīs, to become spiritual, to grasp sādhanā. If this is not done properly, then it is not good; your life will not be good. That sādhanā which Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Ārādya Bhagavān Śrī Mahāprabhujī have given us—you know it. Many of you know, many do not. Take the example of Premānand. Premānand worked—no, he did Sevā. And that Sevā of our dear brother Premānandjī was not easy. His life, too, was for Gurujī. Now we are living, and how should that living time be? But that time was the best life, truly great. It is the reality of gurus—all gurus, this whole world, mother, father, everything. We think we are very good, we have everything, and so on. But now it is not easy. I had a student here in Jadan. He lived here in the ashram, in our school—our college did not exist yet. I go, I come, I know how I achieved with my Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, and many others. This one student came for one year, I think, or one and a half or two years. Back then, many people came to the school. There was a very nice teacher from Udaipur who taught us all. But one day, one man—because he belonged to another tradition (we have Sanātana Dharma and others)—he wanted to be with his own Gurudev. His parents were there; they had sent him to us. And he said, “I want to learn, but now, with my language here, I will not be teaching what I want.” Kālī Gurujī said, “Yes, I can see. You should go there. It is very near here.” His parents came and said, “It is okay here, and now we will teach him our lectures, our way of sādhanā.” Now, twenty years later, I see he became a great light, and once he came to me. He was offering praṇām with full hands and such. His Gurujī also came to offer praṇām to me. But he had learned so greatly, and now he is one of the best yogīs there. Our yogīs, we are Sanātana Dharma, we are these Śaṅkarācāryas and the others—yet he is so great. He practices, he learns. Now, when people come to him, old and young alike, they are drawn like this. Another one, from Jodhpur, where they follow the same religion for themselves. There were two little boys, and he was coming and going. One day we were in the school—not the college, the school, Swastik. And there was this very good Swāmī. He always had two or three children with him. So there were two, and he was asking for some lectures. He was about, let’s say, seventeen or eighteen. Avatārpuri was sitting there, looking on. But this boy gave one lecture, and he spoke at length. One thing he taught: take proper care of your dress, and what we call these bottles—buttons. If you fasten from the other side down to the bottom, it is wrong. You have to open this and then go like this. So, he said, go from dhāvā, bottom to top. If you do it differently, then one is not right. Why not go step by step? If it is very step‑by‑step, then even if you lose it or no longer want it, there is no problem. They will agree, because whether cold or hot, an open button is like this, but if from here you go, there is hanging like that. Of course, maybe his Gurujī had given him that lecture, and then he passed it on. One day he came to me enthusiastically, still giving lectures, that boy, and he said, “Swāmījī, you should give me a lecture.” But I said, “I want to listen to you.” And he replied, “Okay, Gurujī, I will do it.” Now, there was a father and a son. They were sitting on a train. The father was not giving him money or something like that. He only wanted a little, but he wanted to get more, and things like that. The child was not little in age, but in height he was small. And his father said, “We are on the train, and at this age we don’t need—okay—a ticket.” He said, “Okay.” Now, sitting there, this boy is at the railway station. Actually, I’m not telling you a joke about somebody. So he said, “Tell them I am only ten years old, coming to the sixth, but it is nearly above twenty.” The father said, “Okay.” When father said, “When they come, then ask how old they are and if they have their ticket,” he said it’s about between six and seven. Now he said, “Ice cream costs a little money, no?” The father said, “No money.” “If you will not give me ice cream, then I will tell him I am twenty.” Okay, he gave the ice cream. Others were coming; the other, what you call, didn’t get down at the station, but the person got out and another one was there. Again, because they were going from here to Bombay, British, the same thing happened again. And he said something about biscuit and something more. So it is said, “If you give me money, please, otherwise I will tell.” Again, he gave the money from his cupboard. Likewise, all the time, otherwise said, “Father, I will tell them.” And then it will be, you have to give more money or something. When he came to the end of the train, he said, “I am so sad, I am not good. If I had given the ticket for the train, it would have been only about 500 rupees, only that. But I did not give, always.” And so, he lost everything, and the child was not good then; it was wrong. And so, the person who told the story is from Jodhpur. He was very thin then; now he is big, like our students here, and he is already in college. I have learned, I think, very much. But he is a very great, very great yogī, very good. And his Gurujī is very nice, with all his white dress, very much and very good. He produced many yogīs; his teachers made very, very fine ones. Some went out, and then they went with somebody, and then they were here and there. And what he was, he was a really, I think, spiritual or God‑like boy. He is from Jodhpur, and here in Jodhpur and everywhere, from time to time, he speaks very great languages. So, coming lectures, comings, and he is very great. I don’t know the names, I have forgotten, but you definitely know. He is coming to Gujarat, Jaipur also, Jaipur, Pali, Rupawas, Pali, Nepal, and beyond Nepal. Anyhow, he went to some other countries, but because of his language—he is good, but he is English—he cannot control the words with foreigners. So they are going all over, wherever Indians are in other countries, there they are going and giving like this. So that is what we have to learn from the mother, from the father, from brothers, from sisters, from uncles, what we say, or from your guru in schools, or from the one who gives you that—a sādhu. There was a boy here who is now a great sādhu. So, it is a… you have to, we have to come to that: yes, my Guru, Gurudev, he is the one who bestows grace. Guru, Mahāprabhujī was once sitting behind his āśram, Baḍīkhāṭū, a little āśram, and Horī Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī was sitting there. Eleven o’clock or between this and very hot, garam garam gathana sand is coming, hot hand sand. Or Mahāprabhujī ne ka ke, now you should go and learn and see the vakta, or this how go? Mahāprabhujī only was going. That time there are two. Two City Work House, One One Chhota Gaav, Chhota Gaav, Chhota Gaav Jate Bhiksha. This is not a long, it’s not, I’m telling wrong, I’m not saying anything. In the book it’s there. So, Mahāprabhujī go for Bhikṣā. Abhī vahā̃ par vah, Holy Mother, Mādār hai nā vahā. So the Mātājī there, she was a little lower than me in terms of language. So Mahāprabhujī, so in that time, in a very small time, Horī Gurujī, no. His family all knows, so Mādhavānandajī goes to bhikṣā. And all people, they are coming immediately, wanting something, this and that. And they said, “Please eat something.” Rabrī, they like mostly people very much, Bājrī kī Rabrī also, but Gurujī said no. My Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, he gave me, “Go for Bikṣā.” He didn’t say that you eat. Bikṣā, Gurujī brought, whatever is there, Roṭī, Bājrī, Bājrī, whatever it is. Gurujī used to come, Gurujī’s, like this, big, hair, long, and Gurujī’s dress. So, Ek Kumbhrā Vo, Jaise Bhāī Nā, Photo Likā Huā Mahāprabhujī Kā. And he comes, he comes, Mahāprabhujī is near. Mahāprabhujī said, “Āgayā bikṣā leke ke, Raghde Ya, Raghde Ya.” I am in other countries now for a long time, so I forget that otherwise. So, Mahāprabhujī said, “Go and bring the Ūtrā Miṅgnā.” So, where? Saṅgarī, it’s a tree, isn’t it? Saṅgarī? Saṅgarī. So Gurujī goes, there was nothing. He says, “Go and take your clothes, they are big.” From there, Bābājī used to come with us. He used to bring us to his Bhakti Bāgh. After that, he used to tell us to go and wash our clothes. We washed our clothes. After that, Bābājī used to tell us to go and bring Khaṭum. There was no road. There was no road. Sand is everywhere. Everywhere. So Bābājī, javtā, dauṛ ke, dauṛ ke jāte the. Kabhī to Gurujī kehte, auro pachā, auro, auro. After coming, you went nearby, doesn’t matter, go back and bring it. Yes, it’s in the book, not me, I’m telling you. Guru, ek śiṣya kī, kaise ho guru kyā, us śiṣya ko barābar banātā hai. And when the fear comes, then people start to think, “What will happen to me?” Then, when the time of death comes, why did Mahāprabhujī call him back? So, when Mahāprabhujī said, “No, I was very sad,” then Gurujī said, Mahāprabhujī said, “In him, there was the shadow of the Akhāṛā.” He was not there. He was not there. He was not there in the mountains. He was not there. He was not there. If you want to become a Guru, then you have to become a Guru. Otherwise, that’s it. One day, Gurujī was sitting in the back of his room. Gurujī said to him, “Now you have to go to Bhikṣam.” Now you have to go to any country or village. Now, where should I go, Gurujī said. Gurujī said, “There is some shade. There was no tree.” Dheere dheere subah ā gayā, dhūpeyār kā ā gayā, to chhāyātī ne bhī nahī, chhāyātī ne bhī nahī hai, thoḍe kabro hai, Bābājī re uṭhe hai, to Gurujī ne kā, beṭhe, ro re, kī mere Gurujī, mujhe chhoṛ de, kahā̃ jāūṅgā, Mahāprabhujī āye, kyā oge, nā kahī. Nahi, Bābājī kahī nahī̃, anthāyī tum hai bolriyo hai, thāre man meṁ kyā bolrā hai. Are, tū kahī rahegā, Ādam rahegā, maiṁ roṭī lenā hū̃. All of you, this is a spiritual practice, it was not caught, it used to be divided. So, the human being, there is a bhajan of Bābājī in it, right? No, I am not lying, I am not lying, say it. Gurujī said, “Wherever you are, I will bring you food.” He is called a disciple, and he is called Guru. Who? Bhagavān. So leave all of them. There are a lot of sādhus in our India now. All sādhus are of no use. Look at our Akhāṛā. They don’t want to do anything to each other. They don’t want to do anything to him. Where are the sādhus? So Bābājī said, “I have forgotten one point. How much is this? How much is that? How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is this? How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? I have forgotten one point, very good. How much is that? So, millions means a thing, crores, that is very much above that, and in that, no one is, maybe one or two. This is of Mahāprabhujī. Don’t say that you are saying this to me. Don’t say that Maheśvarānandajī is saying this. You don’t say that I am saying this to Avatārpuri, I am saying this to Bābājī, I am not saying this to him, I am saying this to Premānandajī. In the same way, I am saying about Premānandjī that Premānandjī’s penance is done by Mādhavānandajī. Others are there; all of them are there. There are many, but only one is there. Where are the others? They are in Almanithākoṇī. This is about Premānandjī, isn’t it? Polīśī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, Kī Jai, Deva Dī Dev Dev, Purījī Mahādeva, Kī Jai. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Śrī Devīśvara Mahādeva Kī Jaya.
