Shivaratri Satsang with Vishwaguruji

We are the essence of Śiva, Śakti, and the Guru. From primordial space emerged three elements: space, air, and fire, associated with Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Śiva and Śakti are one unified power, with Śakti as the dynamic force and Śiva as the conscious principle, manifesting as duality within a single body. This power is in all things. The five elements—water, earth, fire, air, and space—are alive and conscious. Our individual ātmā is like a drop from the ocean of universal consciousness; we are never separate. Everyone is a guru, as a guru is one who imparts knowledge, from a parent to a teacher. All spiritual paths and rituals, like holy water, connect to this one power. Do not reject helpers like doctors, for we may need them. True knowledge unites the scientist and the spiritual guru.

"Śiva and Śakti, Śakti is the power, great, everything, and the other is that Śiva."

"We are all one, and we have one heart here and our ātmā here."

Filming location: Vienna, Austria

So, all my dears, that is what we are, what we want, and from where we come. And there was—Śiva was not there. It is not that it suddenly came, but there was only space, only the space. And three different elements began to come: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. What is that? No one. But it is space, air, fire—these three. And so we are always making, we said, "Om, Om." And there it comes, that air. And with this air, the prāṇa, and it is said, it came—Śiva, the God, or whatever we say, the person who is that. And now we have this, we know what Śiva is. Many think that the physical is that, but how will he come? And he was there, but how will it be further? So someone said—I don’t know, but I said someone said—that Śiva and Śakti, Śakti is the power, great, everything, and the other is that Śiva. This is another, what is. So it asks, "Where is the male and where is the female, let’s say, in this world?" Śiva stands up and they said, "You are only one." But you have Śiva and everything for the humans telling. And this is also for all, for animals and all. So Śiva is standing, and suddenly the left part of the body is female and the right is male. And these both become one, both in our body. And in the female is power, but it is going to Śiva, otherwise nothing. And Śiva has that power, but he goes to the Śakti. And these two powers are now for us in everything. Water. Water is very powerful. If there is no water, there is no fire. And when there is no fire, there must also be water. Between these two, then it comes what we call the wind. That means expanding. Wind in that, in this comes to what is called the earth. And we, as our earth is like our mother. Once I saw—it’s a long, long—it was in Vienna, but it was a long time—and there was the scientist. They were talking about something, and they are making... when. What it is and what it is, everything they, yes. And there was coming in television always, and in that television there was only black and white, there was no color or everything. That time, I’m a very old man, you know, so maybe you... have not seen that white, okay? And so it is that you stand on the earth, and you will not believe how many different creatures are under your foot, all earth. But we have this: there is life also. It was a scientist. Said, "I didn’t, I understood there were so many things. Once in every week, there was one day, was this they were showing us." And so, our, where we are living here, it is a life. A stone also life. And so, in this, we cannot understand, or we cannot. Take in the hand we would like to, then I am telling, and we can become so that our body will be all the times very clean and very good, and no ill and nothing. Yes, but it is said, when all will be as it is, then the whole earth will become like a stone. We all come together, together, together. So this is the life in this, for every energy, everywhere it is. Ātmā, ātmā,... ātmā. Ātmā in your heart, in my heart, in his heart, everyone’s heart, this. And now, in our heart, is one. We are all one, and we have one heart here and our ātmā here. But we are all here, but we are all then one. How? There is a drop of water, and this water will become the ocean. Or from the ocean, it will become a drop. So we come to the ocean, and take one drop in our palm, and look: down is the ocean, and here is one drop. It is said, it is the ocean, and in that, it is said, that drop falls where? In the ocean. And we say, no, no,... give my drip, my drip. Now drip is not there. And so it is that we are never separate. We are always with one and one and one. And so it is that we call the power of Śiva, more or less, in this way. That’s why those who are going to meditation, or they are making spiritualities, or something, the Christians, they have a church and they are going all there for what, the Muslims from here and Allāh, whatever said. How they are coming together, it is like there are many others, and Hindus from how many years, that everyone has this. And we are, in reality, our ātmā is equal. It comes to us. This drop is in your hand; the other is in the other one’s, and there. One has one drop, one has a glass of water, one a bottle, and so on, but there is only one little ant, very little, and we see the ant, how quickly it is running, what it is eating, drinking, what it is. Everything is that life, and this is all which is bringing us as Śiva. And that Śiva and Śakti powers, and this power and the spaces, both inside. Furthermore, there is another program today. They are giving how to make bhajans and give the abhiṣek. And what is that abhiṣek? Abhiṣek is this. Umāpurī will tell. How they will make all, and we will see that, and from that it comes holy water. You have holy water in church. When we go, left side there is water, a little bit. Yes? Yes. And so is that like the Śiva, which is, we are making this, and all they go in the head like this or drinking. I have forgotten, but I have seen it many times. So it is when we go to the church, then we don’t think. I myself, I tell you, please understand. But as soon as I see in the church side, then it becomes only one, the one power, one energy. Others will tell like this, and this is different. Now, what is there? Now we said that, because Jesus said, and mother, and they are all humble, and for this, nothing doing bad and this. And people here, when I came to Austria, some people at that time told me how the Christian people, the women and the men, were living and washing their dresses and such, and were very humble. There was nothing, and now we have this, and we also have killings. That which we are listening to was not like this. Holy Mother sees, feeling that it is not good. Don’t do it like this. So in your church, when you go, you don’t feel, but when I come on the step of the church, it’s all my bodies, in my ātmās, comes that, "Yeah, this is God, this is this." We go to my temples, exactly the same thing. So there are all this for us, Śiva, and for this Śivas, what I am thinking. That we bring to this oneness: five elements—water, earth, fire, etc. And we all, we are all. And time comes that all five elements go out. What is then? There is the pure purity, pure your ātmā in your, in the, your salt here, and that. Is pure, pure ātmā. All you, all you and me, all we are the one. Water is water, earth is the earth, air is the air. All in between is ātmā, and that is our yoga in life. I am well teaching, giving, and that is exercise is good because yoga practicing for our health, and we should be more living and good, but beyond this is something that gurus, who can be guru, I can tell you, in front of me, all you are sitting here, you are gurus. Yes. Guru is not only the name. Here all are, you can say, we are human. Yes, human. And what is a guru’s, for example, to kill? The guru comes at that time in the mother’s womb. And that begins to tell in the mother’s doing. And then from the mother, she comes out, the child. There is already that guru. In what part of the guru is the mother’s side to this? Then, little child. Then we are asking, taking care of the child. We are holding everything. After that, we come, and I will come not to like this, but we are bound to have a cycle, a little cycle, and we give the cycle to the child in the hand, to control. Afterwards, nowadays, we make a car, and for the car, we have the person, what you call the professor or no, who is giving us training. I’m sitting here, staring, but I don’t know. But besides, there is the professor or teacher here. So he holds us, and we are going. Some days, one month or something, and then we are given training. Then their master stands out and tells, "Now go drive one kilometer." My God, yes, I can, but I am nobody else with me inside, so the heart is like this, yes. And then you have completely... so then we go to further and further and further. So knowledge is that. In us, that power is this, and if we have not learned, then these energies that are gone, or this is that different. And so, when my teacher—what kind of teacher?—he’s giving me cycling. Now, the car, and the snow running, and this and that, and we become again. And both are coming then, yes, I can drive very well. And both are sitting there. What are you now? What do you have? Your eyes are the only eyes. The ears, the mouth, the hands, the body. Everything it was. But how has it become me as a driver? Training. What is the training given to us? There was one time, again, it was in Czechoslovakia. A long time ago, there were also other sides to this. And it is said that they made a test. Now they are Czechoslovakian; they were not at that time. That was because of others as well, all this, you know. And in that, they said, they brought one child. And they gave him a child, just like, but no speaking. No one, anybody should see. Just go and give him something to eat or something, but no, see that. And it was going more and more and more, about 20 days, years. And now that this person, child or now is bigger, but he cannot know, speak, know this, nothing, and just nothing. Eating was coming and not kind. And then they all came and controlled him nicely, and kept training and training, and then he became more human. So there is only eating, hunger, and sleeping, or this is in the body. But then from here, in our brain, what we are learning is coming like this. And that is also called Śivaprāṇa. Śivaprāṇa. Prāṇa. Power of the power, knowledge of the knowledge. And so today is like this. We will do something good, and you know all are. You are very great. That’s why I say you are all guru. You are all guru. Guru means who is giving us. What means giving us? Training, etc. So there are so many gurus, and then it is coming spiritual. And in spirituality, it comes like that, gurus. And now there is parting, two points. One is like this, what we have now, very much long, saintly, and this. And the other is that guru or spiritual or other powers. In this between now, some people said, let’s say I don’t like the doctors and this. Sometimes people say, "I don’t want any medicine now. Everything, yes." And then suddenly, an accident, and doctors come, and people come quickly, and the doctor comes, and the doctor brings the hospital, and like this. Then he said, "Thank you, doctor. Please, thank you, doctor." So, thank you, doctor. And before that, he said, "No, doctors are not good," and this. And when it is that, then he said, "Yes, this is." And so, never said that any one person who is doing good things is a good thing. They are doctors, they are doctors, and yogīs are yogīs. And so, we are coming to the yogic part, and in this, we are with us. So, do you understand me? So, I never said that doctors are not good. And you know, now, how many hospitals? When I came here to Austria, there were hostels of ours, but not so many. And now it’s in every street, you can find it nearby. Good, everything we need. So we should never say it; that is not good. Good and not good is that I don’t need now. But when it is, then I need this, that same thing. And so are meditations and concentrations and the guru. That is the highest point, where either the scientist or the guru, that’s both are together. And so today we will come together, both Brahmā and Viṣṇu, where Śiva is together now, to make something of it. So you are a guru, you are very guru. You are going to the office, working somewhere. In your office, and what are you doing there? That work, and this, and this. What is that? Knowledge. Then what kind of work are you doing? Anything, this and that? Yes, it is yours, from the brain and your energies, you are a guru. And this guru can also be a wrong guru. It will come, break things, and this and that, negative things. This is then going into other parts of this. So we are sitting here, and I see in my Austria, in Austria, people, this also you see, it is, we are very good until I am here. Before, you had problems also, everyone in this. But now, our people, our very old ṛṣis, they say, "Good, and so and so, okay?" And so, we are in one day, one day. I am born from other countries, but we are so good sitting here, very humble and peaceful. This is Guru Kṛpā. What? We are all eating, drinking, everything that is in our bodies. Okay, have you any questions? That’s good. When nobody speaks, then there is nothing left. Hari Om. Thank you. Deep Nayan Bhagavān kī jai. Thank you. So, you have a guru. You are the gurus. Gurus mean knowledge, and knowledge means what we speak and what we give. This is that. Then is coming one guru’s mother, father, then teacher. And further, the spiritual and spiritual gurus, that is coming from the Hindus or Hindus or whatever there is. They have power, gurus. Gurus, then, are those who have the energy inside, the power. If you ask, or you don’t ask, or who himself is still not giving, but it is inside, coming all the side, all that side. And so, like an ocean, come the clouds, come the drops, come the rivers, and coming again, the ocean. So we are one, connected. We are all connected, but the liquid in our bodies, in my body and in all of us, is the same thing. When the ātmā is gone out, then all five elements are again merging on their other side. So, meditation, we will tomorrow. Yesterday, I am again here. Yeah, there we will have meditation. We will have the techniques and these things, okay. Hari Om, my dear sisters, my brothers. Hari Om. Hari Om.
