The Living God Within: Teachings on Life, Devotion, and Self-Care

The living God is within all beings, recognized through yoga, devotion, and self-care.

Yoga's spread across Europe brings divine presence through Alakhpurījī and Mahāprabhujī. Seeing Alakhpurījī unifies the seer with him. God is a living reality, not merely a historical name. The living God permeates the five elements; if one ceases, life ends. God enters human form through birth. Śiva and Śakti symbolize the male-female unity in each person. All life, from birds to trees, contains divinity. Dharma means non-violence; Jainas avoid harming any creature, walking barefoot. Prayer connects to the divine and gurus through morning-evening devotion. Physical care, like consuming calcium, sustains the body for spiritual life. Life exists everywhere, in earth, ocean, and air. Humans must know the living God directly. Devotion transcends specific names, embracing all divine forms. Self-care preserves the body as a vessel for the living God. Non-violence extends to all living beings in daily acts. Spiritual practice includes prayer for all gurus, not one.

"But the difference is that we have to know the living God. And when we see the living God, then you will know my God, the living God."

"Life is everywhere. And all we can have doesn’t matter on the earth, in the ocean, in the air, etc. Life, life is the life."

Our Gurudevas, Mahāprabhujīs, holy Gurujīs, and all our friends and me. And if you think that yoga has truly come into your life at that time, then understand how much yoga has grown. It has spread very much in Europe; our yoga has entered their lives. Especially it was very strong in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and other areas, and then it spread further, reaching everywhere: Mahāprabhujī’s lectures, Mahāprabhujī’s words, Mahāprabhujī’s blessings—it is as if God is with us directly. And of course, I did not see Mahāprabhujī, but I can say Mahāprabhujī is always with half of us, in a great way. And Alakhpurījī has come. So, do you know the Alakhpurījīs? Yes, our Alakhpurījīs. I can assure you 100% that you Europeans have brought us the Alakhpurījīs. Yes? Yes. That’s it. And from where did it begin? It began here in Czechoslovakia, and then in Vienna. I told about Dr. Shanti. She was going there and here in Jokhe and from Europe, so we have brought Alakhpurījī Mahārāj. And you know that all the Gurujīs have bhajans, words, everything from Mahāprabhujī’s and Alakhpurījī’s bhajans and books. Yes. And now we have Alakhpurījī. How do you feel when you look at Alakhpurījī? How do you feel? Nobody said anything? Yes, Alakhpurījī. Alakhpurījī has given me three visions. The first vision was like in the clouds, like a very strong man, a very strong man, that you have, I have given somebody to make him very great and very strong—Alakhpurījī. And then Alakhpurījī’s crown was there. Alakhpurījī is from the time of Bhagavān Śaṅkara, that Śaṅkara Śiva, and you can see in the Śiva books there. That is from Alakhpurījī’s very greatness, and we, many people know in India, and like this, many sādhus know him very much. But we have brought Alakh Purījī, and it is very nice to get our vision of Alakh Purījī, and our eyes on the day when you first saw Alakh Purījī, it means that you became one with him. Understand? Devadhī Dev Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva Artharade Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kī Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... My dear sisters, brothers, all our yoga students, I am very happy to see you, and I am bringing you the message, and that message means to our God. Yes, how we come to God. There are many things, and of course, God has given at all times, everywhere, everything. God—we are all thinking very much, and everyone says, “My God,” they say, “My God,” they say, “God is my God.” And it is sure, it is, God is God. But that God which we have seen or not, when we got God, and now God is their only name. And of course, we see the forms of the gods: God Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all others. And also, Muslims, they have, they see their God, Allāh, etc. But also, I have not seen. In the beginning, they have given, but they feel, they think, and they know. So, they have not seen. They have not seen, but it is in the heart. It’s in the bodies, and they said, “My God is there.” Also, Jesus. And how long was Jesus’ time? And how did you not see? He was there many times. There are books. Yesterday, some person was giving a lecture. And he also said that where Jesus was, exactly, it was in India. And this and that. Why not? God is God. But now, he’s gone. But we have his name, and the name is the best. The body we don’t know how it is, but the name. Also, we can say Buddha and others, spiritual masters—they say God. But the difference is that we have to know the living God. And when we see the living God, then you will know my God, the living God. So let’s say Śiva, but how many ages of the Śivas, but still the name is that, and others like this, but God is living; there is a living God. So you can tell any from Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, etc. But living life is God. And we are talking about humans and God. The more understanding they have, they said, the more human they are. And that’s why Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, etc. God comes on the earth, who comes in the air. Many creatures are in the space, maybe sometimes coming down, something, and then they are in the air, going, coming, going, there is. Five elements, and these five elements are that living God in them. If one is gone, that one element is gone, then all will die, all will go. And so, when the time comes, then God comes. Yes, what is that? Living. That living, how is there? We cannot see still. Let’s say that it comes in the mother’s womb. It is the father. Yes, the father is the father. And mother is the mother, and both have to be. And that’s why, you know, when you see Bhagavān Śiva. And when they said, “Shiva, but he comes, how did you come?” They said, “No, where is it? The house does.” Then Shiva stood up and he said, “Look at me.” And what happens? Half part of the body is Śiva Bhagavān. Left side is Śakti, the Gaurī Śaṅkara Kao Bhāṭā Barīko. That Śakti and Śiva, what we call the humans, the men, and both you can see in one part, and it is in you, still in you. You are here. Now look, you are a human man, but half is female, and the one female, but half is human. It’s not something like this we are thinking. What is that? It is in us very much, and this is very different. For example, the birds. These birds, they give only eggs, and then they develop inside. And they are coming all that. There is more. Like this, they are flying in this space. Also, in the water, in the ocean, there are more creatures than on the earth. And coming from the ocean, it is said that the humans are coming slowly, slowly like that in this. But the name, the light, the prāṇas are in this way. We know that there is only one man or woman, and so. And if it is said that the man, the real one, is a horse. Horse. We humans also have what we call that chest, yes. And we have a temple and everything, but not a horse. And that horse was brought when Śiva said, and they brought it from the ocean, and that was our horse. Horse is one, God. And others, the females, of course, they are also divine. But these females which we have, now yesterday, day before yesterday we have a little baby given there here, always we are thinking that we don’t want to ask, please don’t tell doctors that in my womb, is it a daughter or a brother, or the man or the male or the female. And they said, “Please don’t give that. My child will be there, man or female. It will come, then I will do.” And yes, it’s a beautiful daughter, by default, very nice. And also, when the boys... is that the boys? But still, again, the same thing which is told before, like that. So, there are different kinds of what we call ants. Ants also give the egg. And from the eggs, then it gives further what they are doing. Not only this, but also like grass, or all fruits and trees. It has the egg, or that it is coming, the fruit, and from it comes out again the seed. Each and every thing, the grass, is beautiful, very good, and living. And you know, in India, there are different kinds, and they cannot go on the grass. They don’t kill any animals. They don’t step on the little animals. This is the Jaina. Jaina, and in the night, they don’t want to make a light. Evening, when the sun sets, wherever it is day, they are there; they sit, they sleep. And in the morning, when the sun is rising like this, they get up and they don’t take their shoes. Because when they are working, they are going slowly, maybe some animals are there, and they don’t want to break or kill them. So they go without shoes. They are great people, many, many. You see that. And what we know, so that is called dharma and adharma. What did they say? Dharma. Dharma is God’s feeling, happiness, and all good things. Not doing anything wrong. Dharma. Dharma, Dharma, whatever you do, if it is something good, this is Dharma. For the birds, even for the snake, all living beings, no, you can go and see there, on the grass they will not work steps. And when they sit in the, on the, this place where I am, this is wood only, wood only. They will not sit like this. And then, when they have it all white, very pure, they just put it on their bed and sleep. Of course, when it’s very cold and like this, they only have a blanket and sleep on the floor. Or when it’s very wet, and this and this, then it’s like this; they are like this. Come and live with them for one month, one year, or two months, and you will see how it is. They are everywhere in India, and they don’t go; they are not going over the river and ocean, no. And they don’t want to go anywhere to any other countries. And I was in, now about a hundred, now fifty, fifty-one, I am in Europe, and Europe and everywhere. There were no sādhus, but I said, “Please come.” And I told this to three or four people who came to America, somewhere in London. But now in London, they are not cooking; they are going to their people, who are these Jainas, and they go to Bhikṣam. Buddha also was just going to see something for eating. And only for if it comes or not, and what it gives? He gives the five, the Buddha. For the ants in the water or somewhere, a dog, and one friend, or some guest, or something. And Buddha, he ate that. It’s great. He never was killing, no meat and nothing. And you know that in India, where the Buddhas are, there is one very beautiful tree. It’s very big like this now, and that we call people. That tree is people. And this, like this from the purple tree, I have about 11 years or 10 years, maybe more, 11 I think. And someone brought, because Americans and Australians, they don’t bring anything from there. But someone brought this little seed, maybe, and this tree is coming. I went to Australia, and in the middle, the center of Australia exactly in the middle there, some people were calling me, and so I was flying there. I was there, and then again I have to go back on the same day, and then I was also once sleeping there. But when I first came there, people were coming and saying, “Swāmījī, I have brought this pīpal tree, that much.” And can we give you? And they invited me, they brought me. Aeroplanes, I came two hours or one hour maybe. And from there, I was there, and many people came. And there were also some Indians, about 10-15, from Nippal Ashram, Jadan. Yes, something. And so, there is a very big farm, or not a farm, but like a, you know, we have very big, beautiful gardens. There is no garden like that. And they brought, and this is the government’s forest there. And so they brought me, and I will put it here. And then on the stone, a very big stone there, the people from there, they wrote it on it, on the stone, my name also, and it is there. And now, there is one of our disciples. She is old—not old, but very—and she is from Germany and living there. She is a very big one. And then I told her, “How high is this tree?” And she said, “Swamiji, it’s very high.” And then she went, some few days ago, she was standing like this. She’s very German. So, like this, and above her hand, like this, and there, more still, there is the tree like that. Yeah. Yes. And there, the government, when it’s very cold there, very cold, then they put something so that it will be warm. Yeah, really, and there are many people there. There are those who are in Australia. The people were different. Now, British people came after a few thousand years or something like that. So that tomorrow I may show you this, the name and everything. And so this is that life. Life is everywhere. And all we can have doesn’t matter on the earth, in the ocean, in the air, etc. Life, life is the life. Many people in India, now in the cities, unfortunately not, but many, many women, they are still doing it. Because when it’s very hot in Rajasthan, like this, very hot, and there isn’t anywhere. So, what are these ladies doing? They are going. They bring some kind of, no, from some bush. And that bush, which is like a drip, they cut it and put it like this, where the ends are there somewhere. And what do they do there? They give their water and some, like our chapati’s pulp. But what happens? Then other animals come, and they will eat the ant. The ant is not good. It is more, we are not doing it. So, what these ladies, they are all, they put like this and a stone on it. And then they shoot inside and water, giving there, and eat this. They are bottles, just very little, only like this and this. This is called, “Oh human, you are the god of the god, please give me, save me and others.” What we are doing here? There are also many people who say everything is killed in the chemicals, so this is what we are doing. It’s not so easy that we go to God. When we go to Parabrahma, Brahmajñāna, it is not so easy. Doesn’t matter if you say yes or no, but you know what we are doing. We are also doing very much, we have many things, this and that. For that, we are doing prayer. When we are making morning prayer, Guru Āratī, Guru Praṇāma, “Jaya Guru Deva Deva,” this bhajan or prārthanā, why are we doing this prārthanā? Hey Bhagavān, Mahāprabhujī, holy Gurujīs, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Allāh, Billa, sab jo hai, greatest they have, they know, yes, in their heart, they don’t kill everything. What we have to drink, we eat the fruits, we eat certain mental things, that is why we are making morning and evening prārthanā. Prārthanā, what we said, prayer, prayer. For what? To our Gurudev. What are you asking Gurudev for? Gurudev, O Bhagwān Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, or other Gurujīs, all Brahma, many, many, don’t say only my Guru, behave all Gurus. In India, everyone has a living life, God. So, you are born, you are like that. Your father will die, maybe your mother will die. You are born, you go further, etc. Living, we are living. Now, there are two kinds of living. One is with the spiritual, pure, good, or they are cutting the other animals, killing them, taking them. Where will they go, and where will they go? Prārthanās, pūjā, everything. In the, we go to the, in the Jesus Mandir. And there, also they are coming for pūjā and doing, yes, yes. But now, sometimes the happening is there. I went to Croatia, and there is one very great mosque, yeah. And there is a bed, like Jesus, they are spreading like this. All they are going to the Guru’s feet. But now they have slowly, slowly, after a few—one, two thousand, hundred thousand, two hundred—how many? And from the first war. In there, before that, how much for Jesus and the people, women and men, and how did they have a cup, a dress, how much they were working, how they were doing so much. Now, who’s doing that? But those who are like that must not be that; all are not that. There are many, many who are worshipping, worshipping, worshipping. We should also be worshipping morning, evening, every time. When we are going to eat, we first make praṇām and pūjā, and then we give. I was, when I came to Australia, here, Europe and Austria, Germany, at that time when I went, mostly the people, when eating, would sit down and say some words about this. And now, before, like, why are they talking this and that? We lost it. We lost it. So they are true. They will go all again, and you, my dear gods, we are going on the path of God’s grace. Don’t worry. Anybody tells you, “Make this and that and that.” No, thank you. I was in that other life. The animals and this, they have no time, or many people, you see. People are killing many animals, yeah, hunting them. That hunting is not like that. Yesterday I saw on my telephone, yes, and there is in America, in America, and one man, very nice, very good dress and has a gun, and he wanted to kill that one deer, a very big one. And he came, and he was, so put him, not let him come where he did, and that legs and this, and he was running there, and he pulled him and threw him there. Yes, and that somebody, it was inside, you can see that. My dears, if we have, then we will not have war. Why should we fire each other in there? This is a problem. So, in this way, take your life to the gods and all, all. We should not tell why you are doing this and this. No, no, no. If you want to say something, say it in your heart, inside, please, for my friends or for this. And now, if you tell somebody this, they will say, “Okay, I get it.” Therefore, in that way, we are here. We are not talking only about āsanas and prāṇāyāmas. This is for our body, and our body is our body. We are living here in human bodies, and we will go there. Therefore, we should take care, very great care, to take all of this. Tomorrow, I will tell you, and you know that in India, one man gave a very nice lecture, and then you will understand. I also, please, I did not understand that, and then you people will all see when you are going to India, and you... See somewhere in this little shop, only like this, and one man is sitting there, and he has the lips. They are little lips, big, and he gets the lips like this. This is clean and very good, and then put on it something little, little. What is it? It was something from the, what was, here, here. So they put it so, like a, like this, like a powder, yeah, stones, powders, and this or this or, so put it like this, and then put a little something, something more. And write it and put it in mouth, and people say, “What are they doing?” And today, somebody was giving, and I was listening, very nice, twice. And it is said that, “What is the camps? What is it?” I’ve forgotten that name that I will give, so. You should have three times beat this battle, yes. And what is that? You will never, ever have your knees and these all joints... all the joints will be best for about... 50 or 60 years. We must have to tarry. Women, when they are older, then they cannot get children, and they don’t make the auto condom, doing this. Then they have to have read this kind of, they will be healthy and very, very good. And so women must have that, mostly that. It is our sisters, our mothers, what is there? We should talk about this. You can go into London, and you can get this in London. There are many Muslims and Hindus, and they are eating this chunā. Yeah, chunā. And what is that chunā? What? Calcium. That’s calcium, yes. And this is really yogurt also, milk also, after that, and the ghee. Also, in this inside is, and then other is more, that is, tomorrow I will tell you. Which are very beautiful lectures? This has been given, and our joints, all our joints, will not have any problems at all. Our eyes are not because we don’t have eaten this, and it will come to my knees. And organize this. Yeah, and I will go in and get it in my room. Yes, would you like to have my ideas? Do you like to have it? Okay. We will bring it from the government, or from India, or from everywhere. It’s very good. Where is one bed? Yeah. Tomorrow I will give you everything again. Okay? You will tomorrow or not? Okay. Okay, so, my dears, life is the life, is that life. And so, in our life, or the life of our life, is that life. We will have the life to live that life. Devadhī Dev, Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva, Mādhavānandjī Bhagavānakī, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī, Alakhpurījī Mahādevakī, Jaya, Bhajan.
