Śrī Devapurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Mādhavānanda Jī Bhagavān Kī, Alak Purījī Mahādeva, Satya Sanātana Dharma, Māta Pitā Gurudeva Kī. Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Oṁ Aum is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, and from that emerge the five elements. We must be very clear and in control of what we want, and understand why we might resist the guru. The greatest guidance comes from Devapurījī and Alakpurījī. I have not spoken much, yet we know everything. Devapurījī—'Dev' means God. 'Dev' represents that which is supremely spiritual, pure, clean, and humble in this entire world. This is the essence of all gurus, of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. In our Hindu tradition, in India, in our language, that is Deva, Dev. And Dev is God. So, all of you here, and I include myself with you, we should become one in happiness and joy. Dev is God. All these holy lectures... I am sure of it, yet how many differences exist? For many years, I was deeply connected to Ligwet. There, everything had a name—the names of persons. "What is your name?" You know my name. There is a very good word: "sat" (truth). I have heard that when people from other countries inquire, they are shown a name. I do not know what they do. Our beautiful words are like that name; words encompass a whole life. "You are a good person." Perhaps I am very good; I am doing this. Everything happens. Many others give different names. Someone once told me two things about Jesus. When Jesus came, people were seeking God, gold—they were preoccupied with material things. People sing that Jesus said, God said... but at the same time, it is a long story. Many of you were not born then. The point is not gold, but the heart, pure spiritual spirituality. Do you know that? When Jesus was in his country, Israel, and he came, people said, "That's nothing, God. We must have God." They focused on rituals and objects. But he said, "This is not. God is nothing." It is about understanding love, peace, harmony, cleanliness—everything. Let us go and help all. This has always been in my mind. I heard it, and I truly felt I am Jesus—not in the sense of gold, but in the sense of that which is love and peace. Similarly, many people ask, "What is my name? What is my name? Where is this?" And there you see it is a human. What is the human? We say we are human; of course, we are humans. As it is said: "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate." I have taught this many times. "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate." Life eats life; they are eating each other. It is said that all creatures are like this, not fully aware of their actions. Then it is said we are all human, all people. There are two paths: one is deeply spiritual, focused only on the Name—God, all gods, nothing else. Others say, "Of course, it is everything," and they justify killing animals and all. They also speak of marriage. The boy and girl and their families go to the church. Everyone goes, and we are happy. There is the ring. Who gets the ring first, wife or husband? Who is first? It is a great man, a good man, who takes it. First, it is given to the mother. We take first, and first give to the child. The father is the man; of course, he is great. He has to take everything, he will do everything, and then he will take control. Control is good. So we all said. In any house, my dears, I sometimes see—I was once with good friends at wedding ceremonies, mostly in Vienna, Austria, and also in India. In India, when they marry, the girl first becomes a woman. First, she goes. The ceremony is very nice and good. It was like that here too, but not so much now. Come to India and see what a marriage is. Yes. Some time ago, a man wanted to marry his daughter. My man was also there. His daughter went to another city, very far. I would tell you that today a man came, like a brother to me. He is coming here, and he could have told you. Tomorrow, if possible, I will tell you how it was. They made a huge, beautiful palace. I have pictures. It went on for three days. Many people, about 200 or 300 from many countries—friends, people. For one girl, my dearest girl, how much money? You cannot imagine. They gave very nice cars to many people, to other friends, because of his daughter. That is his daughter, and that is his brother or father? No, that is his... my husband or my brother, and this is his daughter. They are together. Long ago, I thought, "If I would have married..." then it would be like that. I didn't say it was a joke. For me, everything... every time marriage people come, they come first to me for blessings. It is good, great. So they marry, and this is the daughter. She got everything, many things. Tomorrow you can see that person, his brother only, not that one. His father made these animals like this. So this is how... I mean, now because people are not doing this and that... okay. This is going on, but sometimes it is great. We are not only about marriage. We have a ceremony three times. We go around the fire. First the girl goes, and her husband is behind. She goes slowly, step by step, with people sitting. Only those very close are there. So three times first he: one, two, and three. Then the husband says, "Come out," not like please. Then he goes out front, and she is behind, holding with good control, respect. The husband goes first because he is taking care of everything for her, bringing everything. "I will do everything. Don't worry." Many marriages now are different. This is not a marriage. It's marriage, yes. And Mahādeva means Mahādeva. Anyhow. Namo Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Namo Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Namo Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Namah Śivāyohm, Namah Śivāyohm... Namah Śivāyohm,... Namah Śivāyohm. So this is it. Both are happy, both good, whether you marry or not, but you are that in the heart. What is this heart? Here, this is very important; there is nothing else. First you are young, marriage, and you are girls and boys. They are always going somewhere. In a few words: one month, two months, maximum one whole year. After that, you don't know. Maybe it is there, and you're not. You know what is happening? Also, in your country, I am telling you from here how your people were like that. Not only Indians. Someone told me long ago what happens. Everyone, when they marry, they are married forever, both. There was a school nearby, and the children... from that time, there was no kindergarten. Do you know why kindergarten came? You must know. The husband, the man, was working very hard, and the wife was at home only with the children and a girl. The husband worked very hard, and she brought everything—cloth and these. I'm telling you, when your husband gave the money after one month, he came home. That lady said, "Okay, dobre, good, dankeschen." He gave the whole money to his wife. I have seen that forever, many times. She put it away, and he never said, "How much money was there? Where is the money?" No. "My wife, it is mine," she said, "but she will bring nice dressing for all, good colors, cloth, nice shoes." When you go for chocolate or something—that time there was no chocolate, only sweet fruits—she would give him. If one day her husband wanted some money for something tomorrow, she said, "Of course, it is your money." "Why? Money is here, but it is a..." How can you see the money? That's all. Her husband said, "Okay," but she gives more. Then his wife would tell him, "Yes, this was very nice at that time." From that time, divine... There were children. They became children, first class, second class. When they were about five or six—we had five or six children then—they brought them up. They gave both children, girls and boys, and they were very good. They were like brother and sister, very close. Slowly, this boy and this girl became nice, good friends. Then they thought they would marry, and their parents said yes. They were about 25. Before that, no marriage, don't touch. Everybody worked. Both they said, and their parents said, "Marriage to children," and they were very happy. This girl was very happy, and he was very happy. They were together sometimes at home. They would make food at home, bread and butter. This boy, this man, brought the bread and butter. He gave her, and the other he just put like this. Okay, so she doesn't like it, but she already said, "My husband will be..." He also said, "I have to work more for him." Every time he took the bread, he cut it: one side and the other side. The soft part he gave to the girl, and the hard part he kept. During the marriage and all, he was always doing it for her heart. After one month, his wife didn't say anything when he gave it like that, but she thought, "How many years with you? I have been with you, and it is hard that you give me not, and you have only brought, but need not tell." He did not tell anything. What happened? She would always look at her husband like this. When they cooked, her dislike was always like this. But her husband was very sad. He tried his best. He made bread for her. Yes, I told you once. Then it was 50 years for both of them. So, 15 years we are old? What is that? We are jewelry, golden jewelry, and his wife. His wife was just like this, and this husband is very good. They were in a park or a hall, a very nice hospital or something. He said, "Please, can you make today very nice for our marriage? It is that we are 50 years, everything nice." They said, "Good." Her husband said, "Darling, can you... let today we should be good." She said, "What should I be good about?" He said, "I always... and you don't do something." Said what? She said, "All these years you never gave me this bread, the good one like heart." He said, "What is it? Because you never..." He gave her a little bit from his dish and said, "Darling, my whole life I was only eating the hard part and gave you the nice, soft part." She said, "I didn't want this, but this is like this." He said something like, "Darling, this is yours, and this is mine. It is hard, and this is soft. I'll give you an example like this." She said, "My darling, so good bread. Why didn't you ask me before? Why should I ask you? You are a husband. A husband should know everything about giving." Then they came again. The bread is very nice, everything, food. Somebody said, "It's good, everything okay." Said, "Not good." He said, what? "Because we are now marrying, we marry now, and therefore we go again to the father tomorrow." You see how long this husband and wife were together, but how they... He said, "Even till I die, I will not do wrong, but I will say yes." Didn't tell me, but I was all the way for my husband and my wife, like this. There are, but she or he did not run away. That was it. Now, how many children? How many are married now? Very few are gone. That's our children now. In a little child, you marry and everything. Nice child. Then one of you goes away, and the other goes away. The little child cannot say, but why, my father or my mother, my mummy, my puppy? But he said, "Go, they are gone." Many children, till how long? Then they sometimes come, okay. Otherwise, in their heart, it is not good, the children. But anyhow, this is Kali Yuga. What is it called? Kali Yuga. Nice. So everybody said, "Kali Yuga." So they said, "Very good." So this is like this. What are we going? So Guru Dev be that head. What is that? It is that only. What am I asking? The Gurujī said, Mahāprabhujī said, "I am not telling you money. I am not telling anything for you, but only that I'm telling that my whole life, my holy Gurujī said, 'What is a darśan? To see God, to see light.' Sit, good friend. Everything, but what? Not money, not lectures, nothing. This only, that it is all best and good." Don't think like, "You marry and after, I told you, maximum one year, then is Hari Om, or maybe only two weeks." Yes, that is happening. So it is not like that. It is said that time, in many books and very nice in the series, is like this only: from childhood to marriage. The child should be nice, and we should give children everything good, and we should be very happy. But now it's okay. It is too little and too much, and too much and no little. It is like this. Anyhow, so, Gurudeva darśana dhana ho. So, what is that? Gurudeva darśana. Darśana means we see each other. We see each other also, not only humans—animals, trees, everything. Darśana. Darśan means I see God, the best one, always like this. So, darśan, dhana ho. Dhana, you know what is a dhana? Dhana has this: first is great, very much. Dhana means like money and everything. No, no... only you and we are good friends. You are all my friends. All are my friends. Not for money, nothing. Only like this. And which is this called, that dhana? This dhana: meditation, mala. See that? Everything. This is called, "This is not me." Don't tell me, please. It is Hari Gurujī’s book, and Holy Gurujī has, yes? So this is what Gurujī has done, not me. So dhana ho, dhana. And dhana, you can say also, like a lot of money. But not these monies, but this happiness, that joy. Ho, chetana, dhana ho. What is that again? This is the other one. There, who made this? This is... I don't like this. Yeah, this is very good. Other only this, only this, and then I'm gone, finished, because this is not written like this, okay? So, very nice. Guru Dev Darśan Dhan Ho. Guru Dev Darśan Dhan Ho, Chetanāyanandakāna Ho, Chetanāyanandakāna Ho, Guru Dev Darśan Dhan Ho, Guru Dev Darśan Dhan Ho. So this is what is said: Gurudev, Chetan Ardhan Ho. Tomorrow I will talk about these two words. It is only this one word that Holy Gurujī has given. How much even I can tell you, it is all more than more. Very good, it is. Gurudev Ardhan Ardhan Ho. So darśan again. Tell it: darśan. Darśan means to see. I see you, and you see me. I see God, God leads me, everything. Dhana deva, dhana—that dhana means charity, everything, passion. So in this bhajan, next, tomorrow we will come.
