Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu. Deep Nārāyaṇam. Haṁsabhādas Praśaraṇaparāyaṇam. Haṁsabhādas Prabhu Namayom. Namoseri Prabhudī Paṇarāyaṇam. Oṁ Namosi Prabhudī. Aṁ Śabdhaś Prabhuśaraṇ Parāyaṇam. Śabdhaś Prabhuśaraṇa Parāyaṇam Śrī Prabhudī Śabdhaś Prabhuśaraṇa Parāyaṇam Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Today, I am giving a message to the whole world. If we can all help someone, it is a great thing. We know the whole earth, and the ocean within it, is vast. The ocean is immense, but its water is not sweet; it is salty. In one way, this saltiness is essential. Within that salty water, many, many creatures—like fish and others—live. They live inside that bitterness or saltiness. When we come out onto the earth, we cannot live in that salt water; we desire what is good. From this, we see there is an immense variety of creatures. Even on the land, there are many different kinds of life. This year, in many countries, it is very hot—not only in India but also in Africa, Australia, and elsewhere. Animals have no water. I speak now for India: many, many animals, including cows, buffaloes, and others, have no water to drink. They are running in the extreme heat. Many animals are dying for lack of water. What can we do? India is a vast country. Somewhere there is abundant water, but in some parts, not a single drop. I do not know how to help in these few days. In the past four days, I have seen animals dying of thirst. What is this? What did God say, and why? Why does God not provide? We do not know. I do not know. I would say, one must live as one will live. There is a story—a significant one. I do not recall the name, but it is about a family. A husband and wife had a child. After two or three years, the child, a boy, said, "Mother, father, I will not stay here. I am going into the forest." The mother and father said, "It is your wish; you may go." They went into the forest. There were four or five brothers. At last, the youngest boy, when he was about twenty, was told by his mother, "You should stay. We are going with my husband, your father and mother. We go into the forest; it is finished. I give you everything, alright?" But the mother gave him a ring. She said, "I give you this ring. Whenever you face any problem, good or bad, when you need, I will be there for you." One day, when he was having a difficult time, he took the ring and said, "Mother, you gave me this ring, and I am in trouble." The mother said, "Look at the ring. Good days will come." When he was very happy and prosperous, it was said, "Take this ring. Happiness will not last forever; it will change. Therefore, my son, I give you this ring. When you are in difficulty, this ring will tell you, 'Do not worry. Days are coming. You will be well.'" And when you are very happy, it will say, "You will face problems again, but they will pass." Therefore, the mother and father said, "We go to the forest. We are not returning. We have given you to a great person." There are many such stories—not mere stories, but teachings documented by many ṛṣis about how to live. In the same way, we will not always be in difficulty or in good fortune. It is within you; circumstances will change. One day, you will be reunited with your child, and you will live accordingly. If we are together all the time, that is not how it is. This is a very nice, true story. Perhaps I will say Holy Gurujī wrote this. He saw Holy Gurujī write it in his book. He wrote about which ṛṣi, which mother, father, and children. After so many years, we should give to them and then go to the forest. There are many stories, and their purpose is to teach us deeply. There is a story about Ādarṣi, who was a king. I will tell you about that king next time. He was one of the best, like a god, and people always spoke of him as such. I will also tell about Vandṛṣi. There was a situation where everyone was saying, "Give me this, please. I must give, but no one can show what it is." One person came who was not healthy, not of good body—someone others might disregard. But he came, and there is a long story I will share tomorrow. He wanted to give the answer. The king was there, and all the Brahmins and Pandits were giving answers, but the correct answer was not found. Who was that person? He was a sage, walking like this—Stavakra. Ah, Ashtavakra. He came and gave the answers. So, there are many good things and good problems. Since that time, he is there. Who was that king? Janaka. And who were the Janakas? His mother, his father, and his daughter Sītā. Sītā and Rāma. These are not just stories; they were real. We will speak of this tomorrow. We will say that either that one or Mahāprabhujī said it. Mahāprabhujī said that one of his disciples, and his disciple in turn, would become. He said, "Gurujī, give me this cloth so I may become a sanyāsī." But Mahāprabhujī said, "No." So you are like... who was that? Maṅgīlāl jī. It is written in the letter, in the bhajans of Husain Mahāprabhujī, about him—he and King Janaka. Janaka and these two are unique. Mangilalji, that is great, very great. So, Jīvan Mukta. Jīvan Mukta. One who is liberated while living, then gone, and yet living. Maṅgīlāl Jī is a great verse, very great. I have not seen him, but Holy Gurujī said so. Holy Gurujī said. This is the heart of the matter: when I see many animals dying and there is no water, I know something good will come again. It will return. But we must say we should help. We should help. So now, when we use water, we should put water outside for the cows, dogs, and birds. We should offer water like this. We should conserve our own water, not wash excessively, but use that water mindfully. There are people who wash their hands and then pour the water onto a bush so the bush may thrive. That time has come. Animals, even at night, have no water. Still, they open their mouths, hoping for water. So we should help. We should help everyone—not only humans, but all birds, animals, and every creature. What we can give is what we have. This is a great blessing for everyone.
