We are that drops

Compassion for all creatures defines the human journey. The divine gift of human life carries the responsibility to bless and protect all beings. Humans alone possess this understanding, yet often fail to act upon it. Killing animals or harming any creature contradicts this sacred duty. All life is interconnected, just as a single drop is one with the vast ocean. The individual soul is a drop from the ocean of the supreme soul. At death, the body is surrendered, and the soul returns to its source, taking nothing material. One must move beyond the cycles of earthly and heavenly existence to realize this eternal oneness. In this age, inner strength is needed to turn from harm and realize the divine unity within all.

"God has given us, and therefore we should not kill anyone."

"The individual soul is a drop from the ocean of the supreme soul."

If there is light, then it is good. Otherwise, if you don’t make a big hall, the sound won’t be good. If there is a small crack in it, then it is good. If it is cold, then it is hot. If it is hot, then it is cold. And if it is cold, then it is hot.

Śaraṇa-parāyaṇaṁ śrī-prābhū-dīpa-nārāyaṇaṁ. Om nāma śrī-prābhū-dīpa-nārāyaṇaṁ śrī-prābhū-dīpa-nārāyaṇaṁ... Śrī Prābhū Dīpa Nārāyaṇaṁ, Śrī Prābhū Dīpa Nārāyaṇaṁ, sattis anātanda. Well, I came yesterday from Europe, and I’m in India. Many of my bhaktas from India and many bhaktas from different countries are in this machine, around the whole world. Now it is going to all countries, everywhere. So, I came to this ashram, Om Ashram, and there are many great yogīs from different countries. And they are here doing their sādhanā, and sometimes they are giving karma yoga. Karma. Karma is the best. Karma yoga. Karma yoga is the best yoga. That means that when we are working, doing seva, we are talking in India, seva. Seva means we are giving peace, harmony, understanding, cleanliness, peace, harmony. So, even when you go and there is even an ant, a little ant, we should not step on that, not kill that. In India, very, very much, in Gujarat, Rajasthan, there is more power, it is all full. So, when it’s a very hot day and there’s no water, but all creatures are everywhere. Jalachara, Thalachara, Nabachara, all these, those who are in the water, on the earth, and in this space. Jīva-jīva-bhakṣate, jīva-jīva-bhakṣate. Each animal, or whatever these creatures, jīvas, they eat each other, some. And mostly also, they only, they don’t eat animals at all. Gai, bass, bakari. All these animals, big, big element. You know, they do not eat anything, only grass. Praṇī, and praṇī means all creatures, all. But they don’t know more, so they take from each other. Then it is said, Bhagavān, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva. Bhagavān Śiva said, "Mayātumāreko, I give you that you are a human." And I give you everything, but I give you, I will not tell anymore, only give good or bad. So if you will bless all creatures, take care of us, then I will take you to Parabrahma, Paramatmā. And when he will be... Like in the sky, only in the sky. Rest of the cities, we have what we see: all the Sūrya, Candra, and many stars. But Vedānta in all is only sky, and in the sky is that where we all are one, and how we can see them or not. We are all humans. But those humans, still they did not understand. They did not understand why we kill creatures. And we are, we know God has given us, and therefore we should not kill anyone. In time, very hot time, ants have no potter, but they have somewhere in their place where they are growing always. So, I mean, now it’s very rare, people in India also, here or Rajasthan or this. Otherwise, what are we people doing? We bring some grass with thorns, and we put it there where the ants are. And then they put some stone. And then they put on the water, morning and evening times. And at the same time, they are giving, like, for the chapatis, attā. That we give there where the, what do you call it? Kediyan. Kediyan. So they are going there, and water they put in the earth on it. So the ants come and they chew it. What happens there? Some animals come and take it away. That’s why they put a stone on it. It is that they are looking at how our ants, in our house, and ants do not go. They know where they want to go, something to get. If we put it there, ants will go only there, in our kitchen. Kitchen, they will not go in. But somewhere we put it, something, some atta or something there. Only ants will go there. And ants, from where they are coming and from where they go, they don’t go everywhere. They have their road, everything. And ants, ants have, for ages and ages, had their palace under their inner yard. If we make a building and we take out all from that, even that, those ants will come again there in the buildings, somewhere, because it is there. Similarly, other animals, If you are human, you understand, then you can. Otherwise, what happens? It will go back. Another thing is this: we are humans. And our humans still did not understand how they are killing animals. Now, humans are taking so much, killing animals, etc. So it is said, human is a human also, everything. Animals are animals, birds are birds, fish are fish, etc. But any creatures, except also the humans, when we die, One is not like this and this, and one is very good or not. But when they die, means our body gives up. You know that we say, when we were born, when we were born, even from the egg, came again animals, they also have their legs and legs from that. So let’s come. We are talking about India, Europeans, people. So that any child, little baby, is coming out from the mother’s womb. Then our hands are like this, full like this. And we open that. It means we said that God has given to the children, and to everybody, something like that. And when he dies, what happens? With the hands like this, "I brought from God with the mother’s full of the hands, and I gave you everyone." And when I give it to everyone, he said, "I will not take anything. I gave you what God gave me. Now I give also them back." There is the, humans should understand what it is, number one. Number two, let’s say, for example, ocean, ocean, samandar, samandar, samandar. And take one drop of the water in the palm, and we are sitting over the ocean. But our drop is also the ocean. This is just, but when it goes down, nothing else, only ocean. From the ocean, water goes up, and in the ocean above, always, kitnā pānī hogā? And then it comes drop by drop everywhere. And sometimes, over the ocean, again, the rain comes and it goes. So one drop or the whole ocean is the same. So prāṇī, the jīva, the living, there are two. So one is in our heart, and this is the whole body. That will go one day, anyhow. But oh, I am there, this drop I am, this drop of that ocean, it is mine. We will go there, our śarīra, when we die, when we take away, then how quick from our heart, our ātmā jo hai, that’s going quickly, you can’t see. We are all here now, everyone. There is a fire. All are inside. Mithī, sarvāt, sab kus. And kyā kaitā hai isko? Agar, agni. Bas. Ab iske andar mein, in this, how much power you have inside, all, till that we will stay. And when there is no more oil, what will happen to the flame? Where did the flame go? It is in our body. We have it in our body; we are. And who are you? We are that Ātmā, Ātmā. And that it is. Again, this flame will go. And where it is, we don’t know. So it is that we said, when someone dies, now, may you say it is from Africans, or the Australians, or Americans, or Europeans, or Indians, all, but one is all, that Paramātmā, Ātmā, Paramātmā, that is now. There is water that runs, so where does the water go from? And what is the other one? River. We go in the river, we clean and clean, and we come there. Others sometimes go somewhere in the dirty water, on the other side. When we are again there where we are, but again the dirt will come and clean it. So, Jīva Jīva... Bhakṣate, but Paramatmā ke manusya, humans, shouldn’t we know that now God has given us that we will go Parabrahma Paramatmā. Rest, either, no, in heaven, yes, heaven is heaven, but heaven will also again go. And what is the down? Hell. These two are this, and we have to come out from earth and heaven. But after that, the other is we are Parabrahman, Brahman, Ātmā. Just eating, drinking, looking at the human being is said in our language. In our, so it is something like this, you know, that all creatures, everything, even the trees, the grass, many things. When the sun goes down, everything is going to sleep now. And again, sunrise, and again, everything is coming. Oh, humans, do you not understand? Go to sleep, okay? But they go to sleep at midnight and wake up very late. Everything, Kali Yuga, this is a Kali Yuga. But in Kali Yuga, and in Kali Yuga, they are all... we will now, we should be more strong, and we should go that we will come to the Parabrahma, Brahmat. We cannot tell anybody, "Hey, you can come," and many people will tell. Hey, why will I eat meat? Eat, eat? Why alcohol? Why? Don’t tell, please. Only we can say inwardly, "Oh my God, please give everyone this, that they will not kill again." So, manuṣya, Manusia, humans, is that understands and everything in this Nepal. So, anyhow, my dears, everybody, I am, and I came yesterday to Vienna, from Vienna to your ashram. And all this will be a satsaṅg, bhajans. Thank you very much. So I made it also a little. Thank you very much, everybody. See you tomorrow, and aap vīrāje toh. Om Śānti.
