Gurudev is for all of us

A spiritual discourse on unity, humility, and conduct within a community.

"Humans and our heart—we should be, and that is the best one, and that should have to be so."

"I'm not that God, but I'm only a servant, and a servant is for all."

A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, emphasizing the oneness of the heart beyond physical or cultural differences. He discusses the need for humility, encouraging long-time attendees to make space for newcomers, and shares parables about compassion and containing anger. A listener interjects to agree and seek clarification on a practical ritual, to which the teacher responds by reiterating the core message of openness and inclusion.

Filming location: Vienna, Austria

We are all human beings here in Austria. But we exist in physical bodies, and there is a difference. The soul is good, but we are different. It is very good if we proceed in this way, in these directions. Many people say, "No, no, this is that, this is that." Okay, we are like this. It has been a long, long time. Always, people were learning the same thing. But now we have gone on; it's okay, no problems. Yet, in the end, something comes. I am Indian, and you... but you Indians, your bodies and my body are the same. We are, but on the Chinese side, it is different. And this goes to the Africans, and so on to others. But now we have a time, and we know, and we are good. Okay, there is nothing to tell me. It's okay, but still. In Austria, there were... what was this? Kings or what? Okay, yes. So still there are, yes, and why not? It is good, and there is something good, but we have to see that we should not see only the bodies. We don't want to do this, but we should. Humans and our heart—we should be, and that is the best one, and that should have to be so. In that way, we have to give to our brothers and our sisters. They come here, you are all coming, and they said, "Yes, I'm going to the ashram, and I will hear." There I will say the prayers, and I will see these. Somebody said, "I'm sitting there because they are only first; they are the first people." And then after some time, many people go away. Yes. So we should sit back and bring others forward. That is like this, but many times I tell them they are sitting in the front. They will be the best and go, "I am this," and sit here. And they, yeah, how are you? And there and there. But I am in the forward words. This is not good. That is what I was saying, okay? So it doesn't matter. It is, but that's why I was telling. They are coming from a far distance, and we others, but they are our sisters and our brothers. And they came from a far distance. How many? Three, eight, eight... Good train, obviously. Three hours, no? Airport, yeah. So they are coming from there to here. And we are here from Vienna. Here now is Vienna. And we should, and we are doing. When they come, our people here say, "Oh, very good, you came, and thank you, and thank you." That's very good. So let them come and say something more. What can I give you? This and that. So this is in our heart, and the heart is like one drop of water. And this one drop of water goes into the rivers, and the rivers will come to the ocean, and the ocean will go further in different ways. So this is... We have to make our yoga sisters and brothers, and there we will, because we have so many yoga centers now. They have yoga centers or yoga teachers and something. Umāpurī has three, four places, or four places, and the other one is there. Are many? I even I don't know where they are giving exercises, but there's a good income. And we are doing. She is, Umāpurī is making very much like pārś and pūjā and this and that, like this. But also this other one, Annapūrṇā. And this Annapurna is also very great. She is like a sanyāsī, yeah. This dress doesn't matter. This is completely other, yeah. And so, is that okay? Did I tell you something that I didn't tell you? Definitely, I tell good, but bad things I also maybe. Still, it's my heart and my mind, and your mind is different. And this is this. So feel, feel, just feel it. There's some person said that some person did something. He took money or something, and many people came, and he was beating him and so on. And then one person came and said, "Please, moment, moment, please." They said, "No, no, it is like that, but yes, but please, please, please." And then they are angry, and he's also angry, but he puts his anger inside, in his heart. And he saw this person and said, "Please come, come to me, okay?" Let them, and such a heart. Many people are beating, and this and that. But suddenly, one hold in the throat that definitely this person will be again, okay or good. That's it. It's like, just knew you have the, the Jesus, how he was had that life, and half people, they killed him, and like this, yeah, but. Then, we took it in the hand, heart, yes. So this is that we have to learn, yes. There is something wrong, and these people say, "Yes, but okay, thank you." A person tells many times, "And this, and you are done, and then this, and yes, and that." In this, one person is standing like this, and why don't you tell me? And this, he's living. Then what is doing? The person is going back, and if other will say yes, and this, then this bite him and bat him, and this, just go, become cool. They will say, "Yes, he's a cool, yes." But he's a cool person, but still they will go away. That is that in our heart. It is like this, many things. And that is how we, all of you are here. Your heart is so pure, and with very spiritual rituals, and with love and understanding, we are all one. One came from so far, this side, that side, and here, everything, and you. Are like this, and maybe I am also like this, and my heart and your heart. So live this, and that someone is always said, "It's only me and not he. He should not be in that." Then only you will sit here. Others will go one by one away. This cannot be. We cannot. All thousands of the bhaktas of Mahāprabhujī's, and I'm only helping that like this. I'm not that God, but I'm only a servant, and a servant is for all. And if you say, "Oh no, only me and not that, and this," then it's okay. One, only oneness should not be like this. And I think what I taught, definitely some words are not good. Someone, and they don't ask me again, but something may be like this. I'm completely not clean of water in me, okay. But I try to be like this. No, we can ask the questions, or not a question. Somebody can tell something, please, so that I can again get something, clean myself, truth. Not like this, okay. (Unhappy when you wanted to make a tent here. So, thanks to God, you changed the rules and gave others also the possibility to do Buddha and come here. I wanted to say the same, almost. It was very clear, very true what you said, and very good. Something is good, something is not good—why? And that was... but please, she should not tell negative, okay? I could not learn from it; I could not hear properly because you were like this. Okay, come a little up. Rather, thank you with this mask. This is a problem of our time. Without a mask, you can come this side.) No, I wanted to say I agree with Umāpurījī very much, and as always, you spoke very clear today, very clear words, very true words. And I think now we start to understand also, because every day you are telling us, and it takes time that all is going inside. And I think you analyzed also our situation here, because it is sometimes that people are going in distance or don't dare to come because we old people, we old disciples, maybe are too much in front sometimes. So it is like this: when we could not hear properly, and this, so it was not clear, and that was it. Now, words came good, and it's been clear. So, how did clarity come? Good. I know what she was talking about. I know that. But I want to come here and see, really, that now, you see, how clarity is there. I would like to ask you, please, don't come forward because of the light because you have the feeling or the fear that you are doing it wrong. Sometimes you say it like that. It would be very, very valuable for us if you could really explain exactly how you do the light, how you do it with the putscher. Because often you have the impression that if you go too high, you don't like it, and it would be really good if it was explained. In my opinion, that is also a reason why everyone hesitates a bit. Do I come forward now? Do I do something wrong? I don't want to do anything wrong. Yes, so thank you. It is like this: we should tell people, and people want, but they didn't want, could not. They think, "No, like this, that was all the times I am." And now, one day, I will sit behind that side. Yeah, many times. It's not only here. In other lectures, and some otherwise in Hungary or in Czech and different, I see it. I see there are many who always come to the front like this. Yeah, it is very clearly, I'm telling you. But, of course, many people, they said, "No, no, please come to our friend." No, no,... cannot. I want to be. So we have to open. We have to open. And some, they put the lectures of their cloth there and are going to come. And there, but it was mine. I'm sitting here. Can I? So these are like this. It's not only here, it's everywhere. Can you give me water? Buddha, Praśim. Yeah, thank you. So it's very good, please. So, everybody, many don't want to come. Some are like this, they don't want to sit. They are, yes, it's good, no problem. But many are waiting. Many are waiting. I know, yes. Well, this is also satsaṅg, no? Would you like that? This, yes, we opened. Yeah. And I know who will always come again there. Again, I know this, so it's okay. But then I will always tell you, and I'm always telling you. And then, but one day it will be good. One day it is good. Yeah. It is in the mother's womb. It's always inside, baby, but one day it will come out, yeah. And then we said, "I'm going there for it." It is like this, so we are in the mother's, in the mother's, and after the mother will give, and it will go a far distance.
