Purity is important in every level

Knowledge is a seed within, requiring daily cultivation through sacred texts and pure living.

Sacred texts like the Śiva Purāṇa and Bhagavad Gītā contain immense knowledge. A small daily reading plants this seed within, which grows into understanding. This knowledge reveals our inherent unity and divinity. True practice extends beyond study into daily life. Physical cleanliness reflects inner purity. A harmonious home, where all share in cleaning and care, embodies spiritual principles. This purity is the essential Śakti, or divine energy. All beings, from ants to humans, demonstrate natural order and care. Our human duty is to live with this conscious purity in every action, seeing the divine in all.

"Just one seed, a little seed. The seed is so little, and it comes little, one plot, and that comes more, big, big trees."

"Clean means thinking. Thinking good for this person, they are good."

Part 1: The Seed of Knowledge and the Power of Purity Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Devādhideva, Devapurīṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. It is a very nice day, with beautiful, warm sun, and we are all here in our center. We have our beautiful exercises, our lectures, and many things. So, it is like this: we have to learn again and again. Even if we have learned only once—and many people know very well—mostly, we are receiving that knowledge again and again, a knowledge which is very important. You know that we have many holy books, like the Śiva Purāṇa. We know we have Bhagavān Śiva’s Śiva Purāṇa. All yogīs, all students, all masters, all brāhmaṇas, and all others, they see Bhagavān Śiva. In this Śiva Purāṇa, everything from Śiva is given. We don’t know, we cannot, but we know we want to have it. So every day, at least ten minutes—ten minutes is more than enough. Even just five minutes goes into our brain, into our bodies, our understanding, our feelings, and the whole day we know what it was and what it is that is like that. Also, the Bhagavad Gītā—you know Bhagavad Kṛṣṇa’s Bhagavad Gītā. There also, how many people have learned very much in whole countries, in whole languages. But it is like this: no one can see this is not right. We have to make it right, correct. There is nothing to be corrected. Every morning, daytime, anytime when we see our books and open them, there is that which you may call God, may call our life, our knowledge, or our being, because we are humans. And it is everywhere. Just one seed, a little seed. The seed is so little, and it comes little, one plot, and that comes more, big, big trees, yes, and big, big fruits. Like this, the seed is very little. That means we have within ourselves immense and immense; we don’t know how much we can, only God has given. We know that whether we are yogīs, the Swāmīs, or our yoga teachers—all are trying to get within. But all of us sitting here are full of immense peace, harmony, love, understanding, and knowledge, knowledge, and knowledge. You know that in India, because what is in India is what is there; nowhere is anywhere else. Definitely, you can come and see. So, they also said, "Our knowledge, this is the mother." So you know that when we—everyone in India, though now many people have lost it—otherwise, in the morning they come to school or college and they make praṇām, prārthanā. Yes, and it was prathana also in Europe I have seen. But now, there is nobody selling anything. We can go to the church. Enter the church, we will learn something. We will pray something. And slowly, slowly, the people are also leaving that. That is why the lost has gone, the human’s peace. So, like the Bhagavad Gītā, the Bhagavad Gītā is just a little part. What is written more in this? You can imagine. We cannot learn completely. Very rare persons can do this. But knowledge is in that book, Śrī Bhāgavata. Śrī Bhāgavata. We have to come and see that. And so, you know, my dears, everyone, the Bhagavad Gītā. When we come to learn and see, it’s unbelievable. Knowledge. How much knowledge? Each and every chapter. That means this chapter is in the book, but it is in our brain, in our bodies, in our feelings, in everything. That means now we are in yoga. The yoga exercises we are doing are very, very important. Why? Our body should be healthy. Our body should be in good health because I have to learn more and more. I want to come to that God, and I will become like space. Well, sometimes you can say the Muslims said Dalla. But where? We have not seen him. But they know. They say it is that. And they believe and worship. It is there in the space. They said there is no moon. No. On the moon, they are doing something. Sūrya also something, but that is completely other things, but they don’t know. They are feeling, feeling, they are praying very well. Also, in the case of Jesus, how many countries, how many languages, and how many... but how is that? How did that happen? And do we have now, understand that one? It is said, even the God Jesus said, "Let me be killed, but not others," and not really. No instrument to kill someone. No. Everything. And now, how much we are trying to force this country to that country, to that... religions and that. Is that what Jesus said like this? And mother? How much was she Jesus’s mother? And you know, we can pray. We should pray. Say only one name that comes, this mother in heart. Don’t say only Jesus, people here and there, this mother. No. It doesn’t matter, anybody—Hindus, Muslims, Christians, anything—that mother is for all. And that mother is not only that one; all women, all women, yes, Śakti. When even Śiva sometimes cannot, but the Śakti, that will give us Śakti. You have to become a Śakti. But that Śakti is purity. Very much purity should be. And therefore, even people cannot come close to that Śakti. Mother. Mother means all our mothers, but that we have lost also. Now they are thinking differently, doing this and that. And so, there is a one in, an in-in-one. When it is said, "Śiva," at that time, there was no body and like this, and Śiva’s house, then it is said, yes. Just he took from his body’s left side, and that was who was Śakti, yes. If we, you all, come into purity, that is very important, and they are doing very much. And the man also, of course, yes, man he is that, protects, clear it is. When you, let’s say, are born as a man and as a mother, and when you know, you don’t know which it was, but now you want to become one, śakti and bhakti. So, bhakti, bhakti means what we are doing, working, everything, Mother. Śakti, yes. And so, you know, how many years, once a year, how many times for the holy mothers. Jesus’s time, or Kṛṣṇa’s, or Rāma’s, or Śiva Śāntan. This is in every one of you, my dears. But you have your mother, you make a child, and your husband—you are both, they are one. But what happens now is unbelievable. The mother keeps the children; the husband will go away, or the husband, she will go and have only the children, and they are disturbed. You know, the children love the mother very much and also love the father. Yes, when you have one child, you have already finished. Now, don’t think that you will do everything good for me. Now, if everything is your child, what do you do? You do the seva of children. We are not only to go to that one and throw that of others, and then this and that. Then it means, I am sorry, please, please, but I can say, when you separate your children, it is already no anima from that which God gives like that. Even animals, every animal, they have, even the birds, a little egg. And after that, the birds, babies, and they are mother and father, both are there. And further after that, they give them, but still they said that yes, they are my trees, on the trees, my all the birds. What is that, birds? Let’s say there is one tree, a beautiful tree. From it come beautiful flowers, and then comes the fruit. And these fruits are for these trees, like my children. Yes. And this power, energy-taking, is my father. And we are giving further that. These are things that we are doing. Everywhere we are talking of how we are doing good, and this isn’t that. We should. We are all great. Now people say it is unbelievable. So much knowledge and everything they have, so men or women. But through everything, there is one thing: that mother and father, husband and wife, they come together at home. Yes, there are many aeroplanes, and he is bringing with the aeroplane from here and there. What we call the, who is from the aeroplane? Pilot. The pilot, if you understand pilot, and we are all in the big aeroplane, in the aeroplane very much. But this one is that pilot, and he is bringing us up from here, up into space, and how exactly nicely he is coming, making no problems for us. We are all, you can say, they are all our children, our friends, and others, but one has protected us. Similarly, your mother or your father, they should be one in this. Come again, please. But why does someone drink too much of different things, and they don’t go this side and that side? This is the one, and that means the humans, and what humans are, we are humans. But there is something; the qualities are different. Not all, I mean, please, that mostly, very, very many people, everyone has their house. They come to their mother, their child. Always, the whole day they are working, they come home. How nice it is, how nice it is. This is number one. Now you know that there are many animals. Let’s say that you have one animal, not a dog, in the garden, in the forest, deer, and also a little rabbit, and the other one also one bird. What are they doing? They make their nest, they just sit in their place, they clean, and then they sit on it. How many? So we see that, where we are, how they are living, all creatures. And they make it clear. Some kind of, that they are giving dirt, and they sit on it and then go. That is something. Otherwise, all animals make it clear. And so, we can see even the wind. When the wind comes, that wind brings that purity to make it there. Water comes from the ocean, up into the sky, and brings such purity. That purity is. But we people, we make the dust very much now, very, very much we are. So not only for humans, but for all animals and many things, there are impurities. What we need, how much we need to eat and drink water, I mean, or mother’s milk, if you can. Now, vegan people said, "Mother’s milk you cannot take." It is a cow, a buffalo, a goat, etc. They have, mothers have given to their babies, but we give little milk and then we take all the milk away. So that’s why, you know, the vegans, they don’t want to have milk. They have the milk of your mother, and that was invented. Mother’s power, mother’s power, lifelong. Yes. And the father also knows that. Immense happiness and power of the fathers, and all of this. So, we see now, even you can see a little ant, and an ant will go only on your path. They are going and coming, you know? They are going that side, another is coming the other side. And what are they doing? From time to time, one ant goes to the left side and another comes to the right side, and just for a second, or not even a second, they say hello to each other. Do you see that? Yes, they are coming, and then they are going. You understand this? That’s it. All creatures, then why not we? Which purifications? Many, many great house mothers and fathers, but mostly the women. How do we know how clean your house is? Even the mother is a little bit ill or something, but no, she will stand up, go to the garage in the kitchen and clean, and give to her husband something good, and she will take again all this to clean, or this, and we will come, three boys in our house, boys only, and other boys will come and they eat and clean, but where are they? Part 2: The Purity of Daily Life In the morning, one cleans. This is that Śakti, Bhakti, Ānanda, Jñāna. That is the Mother’s. Oh my Mother, yes. And the Father is the Śiva Bhakti, Śiva. He does everything. He will protect everything, not other things. In the evening, we come from work. The family gathers; the mother is cooking. The father can also cook. But the mother comes, and they all help. They clean the kitchen completely. We do not leave the leaf platter; after eating, we clean it the next morning. When we cook in our kitchen, preparing our vegetables and everything, then we eat. And our plate says, "Please keep me clear, very clear." What do we do? Everything is left there, and we go. How will it be early the next morning? In that house, Anna—you know Anna, the seed, which is the kind of seed of our vegetable, for our Bhajan, our roti—yes, we are making chapatis. These are the seeds we have been given. If we do not clear it, then it is not good. It will not be good in your house. There will be no purity, and there will be problems and fighting. Not fighting like that, but still, it is not good. Therefore, go very clearly. Go with everything, and then go where? To your bathrooms. Also, clear it. Everything. And then what? We come to our bed and we sleep. But before going to sleep, we speak to God. Everyone was doing it, but now no. They never do it; they come jumping on it and then this and that. "Hey, hey... hey, God, oh my food, oh my this." It is divine. You come to your bed, you sleep, you speak purity, cleanliness, good things. And in the morning, you know what we are telling? Many times I am telling you: I open our eyes and we say, "I am human, that’s all, I am human." It doesn’t matter, women or men; it doesn’t matter. They are only humans. This is only different in that she is a woman and he is a man. It has to be mother and father. This has to be. Otherwise, completely, we are the one. We are one. So we said, "I am human." And when we said, "I am human," what is a human? How many powers, qualities, many, many good things. All humans, we are humans, my dear. It doesn’t matter, women or men; I am human. And if we are human, we will not make war. But who is doing it? Not animals. How is that? And so there are these: one is this side, and one is that side. If you said that Jesus would never say to kill somebody or beat somebody or something. Even he said, "I will give you, but not the others." How is that now? About them taking other Gurus, that is, other Gurus, other Jesus, or this means. No. All is one, it is said. Which country, which religion, which language, etc.? It doesn’t matter as long as your body is there. But when the soul goes out, then it’s not your religion or this religion or that. It is like coming from the ocean and bringing the water up, and then coming as one drop. It is one drop, but it is the ocean’s water. And so all is that. It doesn’t matter which religion or from where it’s out. We are all that water, this water. Water. Water stories are big, big stories. Next time, I will tell you this. So, when you come into your kitchen, you are eating, we are eating and cleaning everything completely. Śakti, Bhakti, Clarity. And, of course, men also will come and help. Men also come to clean and say, "No, no, you sit down. I will do it." Who said that? Women. And they clean, they go into bed, and they are sleeping. A happy home, very good. And then, coming again, both of them clean the mouth. So, I am human. Then we go to put our foot on the earth. We say, "Mother, may I step on you?" Which mother? Our earth. Earth, that is water, is also me. Fire is also. Without fire, nothing. If there is no fire in the ocean, where will there be nothing? So fire and water, they are together. Yes. How, when they are doing, becomes warm, hot, this water, this everything—the five elements. So, when they go to sleep, they see everything clearly. Everything—if they have a dog or this or that—they give them everything as well, and then it becomes pure and clean. You come, then this, then you see your kitchen, beautiful, clean, everything nicely. Then, of course, we are cleaning this and that, and we go to the bathroom, the toilet, our cupboard, anything. Will you throw it like that? It doesn’t matter if it is my wife, or some of my helpers, or this. They put the thing like this. Let’s go like that with this. They are making it like this comb, and they are throwing it. Sometimes, people go to some other countries or somewhere, and there is a hotel, and the hotel is very nice. Everything is clean and nice, and things are coming. Oh, that’s nice. And the next day, when you go, how you live in the room, then it means you are not a real human. If you were eating, you would wash your hands. Your bed, at least you should clean it and put it in order. Don’t throw it there, something, and we go. Yes, we know that, they said. We give the money and let them there, we go. So, yes, okay, money is given, everything, but other people will come and they clean. But if some person will come, and then, oh, the people were very nice, so they cleaned everything. That’s it. Humans, that’s it, and humans, so humans, they say, "No, no, I will do it. Please, you can do it." Say, no, no, I will do it. They say, no, no, I will do it. How is that our human? Like the window is open, the water is going out. I was living here, I gave so much money, let’s do M.I.D.S. Then you are not that. People will say, "Well, they are cleaning; they are cleaners." They tell somebody good or somebody not. And many, many hotels, many good persons are there. Because I am oversleeping there sometimes. Have people, many people, they clean, putting nicely, cleanly, and put some money on the plate, on the table. Maybe a little bigger, but they put something like, or some, they bring some fruits there, or something. Because they said it was very nice, a very nice, clean room, and they said thank you, and they went like this. For the people who are coming, they say, "Thank you, how good these people are, how these good people are." So this is that not only one, that I am okay, I have money, I am okay, go, Oṁ, Oṁ, Oṁ. You have to say "Oṁ, Oṁ," but what is a "dum, dum"? No? This is what we have to, many, many, they are talking language, they are making good lessons, many lectures and many things, and I’m a great master or guru or professor, but what have you left behind? Then you will see that that was it. A rabbit brings also a little on one side, not while going like this. So I’m not telling you about here, but if you understand, please don’t say, "But if you go here, you are coming here in the ashram." We have nearly, sometimes we have a hundred people, a thousand people, or however many, and many rooms, and like this, everybody, they put... That’s nice, everything. When and where do they go? So many are throwing, yes. They saw me, so they are throwing like this, and through making the room like this, and then another one is coming slowly. It is our ashram. It is your room. And if not yours, it is others’. It’s also this room, and this room is that room. It doesn’t matter who can be in the room. The room said, "I am so pure, pure and good. You are with me, and you go." But now he said, "Go like this." So, this room seed, this will come in this life. Then you will go into the other animals. Other animals, they will say, "Yes, no, no, we are also making clean." This is what we have to bring into our being, then we will say, "Yes, I am, I am." What? Helper, cleaners, help, friends, I will do it. I will help you. He said, "No, I will do it." The husband will say, "I will do it." She said, "No, no, you do it. I will do it. You sit down." This is the, what do we call, human. This is in the way. Cleaning, now you will see today, you are going, and you will see your room. I never go to your room, ever. Maybe in one year, somebody said this, somebody said that, but I don’t go into any rooms. They have made many, many rooms now, very nice, I don’t know, but people said, "Oh, very nice room, they have made very nice rooms." Yes, he has made it very nice, clean, and very good. But then you should go and see what they have there. Dirty things, then it’s a little bit. People are not saying this. So, we go into the room. After we are going, then please, we should at least clean—make your hands also, your hands clean properly, and not somewhere else like this. This is that. It’s not you; it is a me. And it’s not a me; it is a you. What, me? You are my brother, you are my body. I am human. So, the humans. So, how are we doing? Maybe the pilot, he’s maybe not good at this or that, but when he’s in his aeroplane, he knows 100,000%—everything is very clean, good views, everything. We are running, we are working, we are going in and out, everything. But the people who are working inside, and the pilots too, they bring you. How nicely we are here. And we are just running out of time, mostly there for a long time. Always, when we came down, everybody was saying, "Thank you." Everybody was doing it; there is nothing there. The thing which is there is humanity. And this is our yoga in daily life, what we are doing. All our Gurus in our house are very good Yogīs, the Gurus who are doing everything very cleanly. Not only am I a Yogī, or my disciples, there are many, all in and out of India, so many Sādhus. They are Gurus and their disciples, they are beautiful, very clean, very nice. What does clean mean? Clean means thinking. Thinking good for this person, they are good. Not said, "Oh, this is not good, that Yogī is good." The people are doing. Their Guru doesn’t say it. And if then somebody is telling this, "No, this is good and this person is not good," then that is also not a Guru, and that is also not that which is ours. So, you all, my dears, in Yoga in Daily Life, become pure, clean, straight, and never tell. Negative for anybody’s? When then, good things. And we were working, and we will do so. This is purity. So what is purity? Not only dress, not only washing, not swimming, but there are more, more that we will come to furthermore. In this, I am very happy to see you. Hari Om. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Deva Dī Deva Deva Purīṣa Mahādeva Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Satya Sanātandhara. Satya means the truth, pure, clean, oneness, no fire, nothing. So this is Sarva, Sat All, Sarva. Now we will have the Bhajans. Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Kī Jaya. Śrī Śrī Sattva Guru Svāmījī Madhavānandajī, Bhagavān, Kī Jaya. Śrī Śrī Alakh Purī Śāśidāpit Paramparā, Kī Jai.
