Maṅgīlāl Jī was a disciple of Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. He was a great scholar, yet he still could not see what he truly wished to become. Then, once, he came to the holy Gurujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, and Maṅgīlāl Jī became His disciple. I will not relate the entire long story, though there is an extensive discourse about this. He came from near Kachārāj. After Mahāprabhujī, Maṅgīlāl Jī also arrived there. And Mahādvanandjī Bhagavān, Mahāprabhujī, had a very fine cave made below and seated him within it. The world did not know, Mahāprabhujī, for how many days or months Maṅgīlāl Jī sat inside that cave, absorbed so deeply. Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā... Karata Mahāprabhu Mahānśvar hai, aur āp Gurudev ke hai, aur usko pahle usne kahā, ke Gurudev, apne Kapil, jaise Kapil hai nā māre Kapil Jī, Kapil Jī hai, wo hai, usī ke hai, to Maheśvarī, ye Maheśvarī hotā hai, aur unke vahan jo wo hai, wo Maṅgīlāl Jī. Maṅgīlāl Jī said to Mahāprabhujī, “Please make me a sannyāsī, please make me a sannyāsī, and spread this cloth upon me.” Mahāprabhujī replied that your colour is not a cloth; rather, you must create that colour within your heart so that it dwells there—then do not take the outer cloth. And to Maṅgīlāl Jī, Mahāprabhujī gave instruction and made him a sannyāsī. There is no one else like Maṅgīlāl Jī. In the same way, his devotion is a model that we all carry with us. So we must recognise that these great beings... Guru kṛpā hi kevalam śiṣye ke ānanda maṅgalam. The bhajan that has just been sung comes from Maṅgīlāl Jī’s book, and you may take that book. There are many of his bhajans; that is why I wished to share one more, though I have offered only a little of Maṅgīlāl Jī’s composition. To all of you: as you know, in our books everywhere there is much about Maṅgīlāl Jī, and we have been continuously practising and sharing in our classes and in many other countries. So today it was very beautiful that you showed us this. Once more, one bhajan more. Bol Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Thank you very much. Your mantra and dhyāna bhajan make us all very great. You understand mostly because you know that you have been introduced to Maṅgīlāl Jī. Maṅgīlāl Jī was great, and just as Holī Gurujī said, Mahāprabhujī declared that there is no one great. And you know that there was only one Rājā, and that Rājā possessed this sādhanā, and after that one, the extra came—Maṅgīlāl Jī. Maṅgīlāl Jī, Mahāprabhujī said, the Holy Gurujī was great, so saying. Thus we must learn to understand ourselves, and not only our body, but within the body, and beyond. So yesterday we had a programme that was very beautiful—a whole day, two days, so many sādhus and many bhaktas and many, many more. The entire area here was full of people; I do not know where they slept, but everyone was resting here and there. The hall was full, and so were the other rooms; everyone was present. But no one was thinking, “We don’t need something we have like that.” So we were all one, very great, in our bhajana, and we will be here for one year, one day more tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we depart. So for two or three days I am here, and we will still speak about that. We are all tired, and all of you have done your work. You must take your seats. Thank you very much for coming here and sharing in the satsaṅg. If you live among humans in the company of such great men, then they transform humans into Bhagavān, Parvara, and Paramātmā. Mahāprabhujī karatā, Mahāprabhujī karatā. He only gives the same to His disciples, and it is not that He is a sannyāsī. He says that His Gurujī never says anything to Him. He does not abuse Him. He is this. He is not like that. He is not a Guru, and He is not a disciple either. Every disciple is equal to the disciple and the Guru, yet even so the Guru holds the stick for them. Who has held it? What is that? So why does he say that? I will go up there; my father will do Gāṇā for me every day. He will do that for me. So there is a lot of Gaṇa, it happens, and it goes away. He says so much that I will cut off all the hair of your beard. One by one, your hair will go inside it. Still, that Guru will never say to you, “I am sad, I am not happy.” He is there; he becomes the Guru. And he can become their Guru in front of them. If the fire comes from above, then there is no other place that is as dry as this place. And the other place is in the middle of the mountains and in the middle of the sea. All the garbage is there. And then, which of them can it bring down and bring forward? And the more he goes out, the more he is purified, the more he is purified... He is the disciple, He is the Guru, and He is the one who takes it. So see, he goes all the way there. If you look at the water, you will see that it is flowing like this. But He is the one who takes it. If He takes it, then He will drink it. The other one drinks it, and the other one is there. So after that, we will talk again. I bless all of you—Bābjī, Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Bābjī—and all of you who are coming, you must now go.
