Today is a beautiful day. Every day is a good day. Every minute is very good. But it is like this: we know this one thing. Every second is irretrievably gone. So it is that we should always, and always, we can leave the past behind, but be now with ourselves, and we know we are looking forward. That which has passed, we can leave behind. We can be now in that which is just happening, aware that something is still ahead of us. We know we have sin and everything, but it is gone. All that we have experienced is gone. The present is very great. The present is great. And the future we do not know. The past is gone. The present is here, and what will be coming, we don't know. We can think, but may we die? So this is not for us, but we shall be with the present. And we are worshipping that the future will come, that good will come. The past is gone. The present is here. And the future we still don't know, but so it is: the present is just now. We tell ourselves, my dear friend, my husband, my fire, Father, everything which is just with us—even when we are eating something, and we take anything we are taking, eating in the hand, and we take it near the mouth, and suddenly, this is the time of that. We take it in our mouth and we bite. We know we like tasteful things, everything. That is in the... in the... Oh, very nice. Don't take it too quickly. Chew nicely for the stomach. The taste, everything is in our mouth. So, at least chew each bite 50 times. Yes, every day I make what I'm eating, but at least 50 times I don't eat. Sometimes, more biting. So the taste of it is only in the stomach. Very nice. And it is very good, sweet. This sweetness means we are tasting very, very good. When we swallow it, then we don't know. What taste is, we don't know. Where it will go, how it will be there. It's just going somewhere, so bring something good. And then you should bring it into your test, and how we are there. So the same thing is that when we sit down and then we have our mālā, and this mālā has the beads, but it is on this finger, and we are holding this bead, and it is coming into our hands. This is for us. We call that God. Beauty, peace, everything, even our step as we are walking, the next step. So there is one great saint, a sādhu, and that was the greatest, very great, more than the kings. And we know that in India, on the Indian flag, and on the top is about that king who was. It is like that. And his son became the king, and he became very spiritual. Buddha. And Buddha, he was studying and everything. He said, very deep, deep in the ocean. And there are any creatures or anything, and stones and this and that forest, everything coming from the trees and this, everything, testing everything, he comes and comes to the, in his heart. That's the Buddha. And you know that it is a very beautiful river. In India, there is a very holy tree, the Bodhi tree. He did many things. But he was, after everything, sitting under the tree. Under the trees, that's all. Then someone made a little hut, but he was sitting under this tree, on this tree. He makes this. As books are written, many sādhus told me in India, in the forest—I was a few days, years only in the forest—and there were also tigers and everything. And there is some water from there where it is coming, very hot water on one side and cold water on the other side, so we got... The little thing is eating, and this is what we get: the seeds, any seeds, and with our dress, a little. And you think, "Yeah, hot water," and I put it down, and very quickly it became like cold, something cold, very hot, and just eat this. And we were about two, three. Same race, but our bee was there in the rivers. Sometimes it was other animals, also big animals and certain little animals. But they did not bite anybody else, just going past. It was for one and a half years I was in the forest like this. No shoes, and just one like this, and one like that. We get some fruit, something, or this and that. And so we saw also my Gurujī, he told me somewhere. And that one Holy Gurujī said about Buddha. And Buddha's, then he was to his father, he was king, very king, the highest king, king of the dead, what we call. Whole India and many, many countries, everywhere. The king of that Buddha's father, but he went to the other side, Buddha, and this king, he became old and old and old. The time came, very old, and he was in his palace. And many people wanted to become his king. So, which successor will be? But he said, "No one will do for you as I do." For the Buddhas and others. Many, many balls are coming, many, many kings and this, but he knows you are not like that one. But the old king refused them all, saying they were not the right ones. Everyone tried to get something from it, and who wouldn't want something. The king had only one daughter. And his daughter said, "Prince, no? Princess." And she said to her father, the king, "Father, king, I will be, take your job. I will do everything that you say. You can read the books, big, big, this, like, in this book. It's not like this only." So he said, "My daughter, you will not be my king here. You will marry a new daughter." She said, "I will not marry. I will do it for you." So she said, "Yes, will you?" "Yes, father." "Then you will be for my Buddhas, and this all you should do, what Buddhas was wanting. You will be here in place of Buddha and you will do all that Buddha would have wanted." And he died. And she became the big boss, the queen. Yeah, queen. And she really became a great queen. Very great. She was great. And she went towards the other country, China. She traveled to other lands as well, to China. That time, there were not so many humans, people. Now we are many, so she was coming to little villages, little places here, little places there. In the Buddha's time, people come and all are looking. She said, "In my garden," she said, "every day I'm in satsaṅg, many people are coming, but they don't say something good. Every day so many people come to my satsaṅgī, but they say nothing, nothing good comes of it. They just stare at me silently like this." And so she said to her guard, "Can you tell all these people here, they come, this and that, but they do not tell anything good." They say, "Good, but nothing happening, no satsaṅg. Can you tell me why all these people come here and stare at me like this, but say nothing, and it isn't even satsaṅg?" She said, "Why? Why is it so?" she asked. She said, "Haya King, they only want to see you because you are so beautiful." Only always looking beautiful. She said, "OK." Then she told, "Bring this, what is that oil, like oil, what is that?" Acid. Acid... She went into the garden, into his bathroom, where there's a glass, and she put it on her face like this. How it was burning and everything. Quickly, all came, everybody in health, and this and that. So, about one month or so, she became healthy again, but her face was not so good. And she was giving satsaṅgs and beautiful things. And then this Buddha, she was going to become a disciple for that. By this she managed that everyone at their satsaṅgs became Buddha's disciples. But when the Buddha becomes, before, he was not named a Buddha, other names. Buddha was not originally named Buddha, he had another name. And he was going for food. And he was going, went going. He cannot go quickly, very slowly. No ants, no animals, nothing should die, and then went for food. That's called... So, you know, everywhere in the Buddhas, in many, many countries, there are still people, students, all, they are becoming with the food like this. So when he was going, he was very careful, not stepping on any animals or ants, and so on. And when they give something to him, then give, if there are some friends there or some, to give something. Dogs, some birds, and one for him, that's all. And his food, which you have, this point, like this food. And then he was eating clean, and put it like there was nothing inside. This is it in the books, and people, many, they have not told. Buddha was in India, and there is this river and this beautiful tree. Beautiful. It's very big, big,... This tree, the banyan tree, banyan trees. And from that, in America, in Australia, in the middle of there, and I was there, I went there, they brought me people. Someone in the airplanes, so I was flying one and a half kilometers or two kilometers, and then I came back again. The separate aeroplanes, they gave it to me to go there. And there was a park, and it's very hot and very cold. There are not so many trees like this, and someone brought this. How did they get it from this Buddha's tree? This banyan tree was like this, and these people said to me, "Swamiji, this is from Buddha's tree. We gave it here, and please, can we handle it here?" And we put it there. And then I went, it was the forest there and the city. There is a city, so they took this, and very nice, they're taking this. And there they wrote on the stone, a very big stone, and there they wrote my name: "Those who are taking forest and these, what you call, the trees and so." And there, immediately they brought rock and this, and they brought my name and their name also, the people's, you know. And this is the Buddha's tree now, a banyan tree. So it is only this height. When it is very hot, it is okay, but when it is very cold, then the government, who is looking down on the park people, they put some cloth. And once more I came there, again there. So I was there, this beautiful tree, and there are my disciples, and this is the middle of the whole of Australia, the very middle. So, I would think I can show you. This is the one lady, and she's from Germany, and now she's living there. And now I've told her, she's my disciple, so I said, "How long is it? Tell me." So she said she went to the park, and she saw now this about five, like, times, one year, one year or something. Do you understand? No, you cannot see. So now we make and see. Good. There's a rock, and there's names and everything. Good. So this is how I want to tell it: we can say God, Buddha. And Buddha was not eating anything, meat or anything like animals or like this. Now, whatever he thinks and he does, we don't know how it is happening. But in that literature, many are like this. So it came from India, then from India it went to other countries somewhere, and then it came to China, and now it's everywhere. Who knows the Buddha? So that is like this, what we always see. So disciples are this, it's very interesting, and have a master. Otherwise, it is just like nothing, this and not, this thing and that thing. Tasteless, insipid. So sādhus, śānta, they are like this. There are many, many people we are working, doing this and this. That is not a guru. Just because someone works or does something, that does not make them a guru. So sanātana and dharma. Sanātana dharma. So that's very good, thank you. That's very good. Thank you.
