Om Śānti, Om Śānti, Om Śānti. Once again today, Mahāprabhujī has given us something very good. Yesterday was also very good. When we went to sleep, there was snow. In the evening, when we all went to sit, we said, "Okay, we will go walking." So the whole day we were very good. Thank you. It was very, very good. It is our great fortune that you have come here. We will ensure that this ashram and Mahāprabhujī’s name always remain here. People should come from many other countries. It is not just about traveling that distance; we see that his atmosphere is here. The place is not very big, the land is not exceptional, and it is not a large park. Yet we are very good, very peaceful, and practicing here. You can do the same from your different countries. People from these countries sometimes come, go out, and see Europe. Europe is very good, different, and beautiful. Do you like it? Yes. And in all the different cities and places, it is very good. We have ashrams here, and you can be with many people in comfort. You can bring others from different countries. They are coming from Australia and will continue to come. They also wear [the robes]. This is a very great thing that we have done and are doing. It is because of you. It is your 'yes'. If I say I am not one, and if I am one, then I am sitting here. So, you are all the reason I can sit here. I can think about giving, about our Gurus, our Prabhujīs, and everything. This will be in my life as long as I am. But afterwards, we will have our sādhus and sannyāsīs. It is not necessarily sure who my successor will be after me. I do not know who it will be. I took him as a young one, like my son. He is also good. I do not know who it is. It could be someone only from Europe. That would be very good, even better. It must not be an Indian. It will be like this: I will bring something. I will say, "This is that." That is all. When that happens, that person will be our whole Guru. That is everything. We will have to say to that one person, "This is that." There are many other Swāmīs with many disciples. But their Guru is for all of them. Now he will say, "Yes, this is mine," and we must say, "Yes, Swāmījī said it," and "Swāmījī made him this type." Then, are we all together every time? It is very nice. We have been in so many countries, and we will come to more as we do many things. Thank you. Yesterday we were talking about this time. We said, "Oh, it’s not good with the eating. In the morning, before lunch, we will have something good to eat and we will exercise." But Mahāprabhujī didn’t say that. He said, "No, no, no, and water, pānī." Hurry home. So we came there. Okay, my point was there by sitting there. But for others, of course, it was not good. Everybody will perhaps do there, and some people there are, how to say, they like this and that, and then they do like this. That’s why it was not me. Mahāprabhujī said to us, "Mahāsāradān, go out, yes, and so you should also come." So, Guru is Guru. There are many; they are only making what you call cinema. Niyata. Niyata. But a sant guru is like this. Our holy Gurujī—many of you have known him and many have not. How was Holy Gurujī sitting? Here he was sitting. This tree was on this side, and then it broke, so here. And there, Holy Gurujī was sitting. I was always sitting from here and looking there, thinking, "Holy Gurujī is there." One day Holy Gurujī said to me, "Maheśvara Nānak, come today on Dīvālī and Guru Pūrṇimā, for this program." Mahāprabhujī said, "Come this side." I was always saying, "Gurujī, you do it in India," and I took everything like this. So Gurujī said, "Gurujī never said anything." He said, "Okay, Maheśvarānand, do it." Gurujī was so much taking me in, my Gurujī. He took so much love for me. He said, "Okay, okay, all that you do, Maheśvarānand, I said, Ānand, it will all be best." Everything, no matter how it will be, it will be your heart’s will. Everything, my Gurujī, Madhavānandajī, Bābājī, and because I don’t know Devapurījī—I did not see him at that time, nor after. So, like this, we don’t know who it could be when that time comes. Now, for example, you go to the Christians and then another pope. Pope? The pope. There are many who want to have, "I want to be the pope, I want to be the pope," you know. But then they will tell them. And there they are, everybody respects us, so you should have to say... I’m telling you because I am the old man now, or something, as long as I will be—I hope—but we will let that one you should choose. That is this: not choosing anything, but choosing everybody. Avdarpurī, Phūlpūrī is very good, Phūlpūrī. Yeah, she’s also, she can help, or there is another one. So like this, it is everything. So, like children, somebody, the disciples, they were very little and young, and then they become disciples, and they are bringing bhajans or bhaktas, or like this. So you are for me. In this time, you know that each and every one of you is only for my one in the heart. Yes. When you shoot like this directly to the heart, all will be here on one that. That’s it. That is known. The Guru knows that. Why have I said, "My Guru is very good, my Guru is this," or, "How am I telling?" and they don’t do anything. They are only, how to say, bringing the people together. And even they have not given to gurus; they don’t see them, and like this. That is not a guru. A guru is that all countries can be, but what is that we take in our heart like this? Look, like a little child comes, and how this child, and all that is on the heart. And these little children, they are also very good looking, like this. So, I said, Alag Purījī said, Devpurījī Bābājī said, Devpurījī Bābājī was very strong, you know. Devpurījī had a horse, and he was sitting with a horse on his back, in the stomach, and the horse is coming. When Devapurījī was like this, and that horse ran, and he went in the air. Yes, and that was also Holy Gurujī himself. One day he saw that Mahāprabhujī was sitting there, and Devapurījī came. At that time, Madhvarānjī was not there, but all the people saw that. Everyone, they said, "How is that? Is that a god?" That’s such a Devpurījī. Dev, dev means god. If you can see, think, it is something. It is the very pure disciples and guru, or whatever it is. And I tell you, the Holy Gurujī has a book where you can... See what is written in the book, in Līlā Amṛt. And in Līlā Amṛt, it is written there what it was, these books were. So he said, even Mahāprabhujī came, then Dayalpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Holy Gurujī, Holy Gurujīs. And then Alak Purījī came, yeah, and all sādhus or anybody, they were sitting like this, yeah. And many people were like this, they went away, because Devpurījī, his horse was going like this with him, nothing, only horse. And then he jumped in on his stomach, on the back. And they said, "Oh." And then Devpurījī came. And Mādhavnābha, holy Gurujī, said prayers like this. And so many, you know, indigenous books that read, please, dice. Each and every point, the whole book, you should list. You will know how it’s there, and me, I don’t know. I did not see that, Mahāprabhujī. I also, I did not see. When Mahāprabhujī became Paramātmā, he went. Then after three years, no, three days, three years, no, three months, yeah. And then Holī Gurujī came to his village, Nepal. And Holī Gurujī made their temple and this. And there was a ceremony for that. So at that time, and I always know, I tell you something, this is a very great thing that you should know. So in my village, a little village, like this village, or little, maybe, but like this. And the aeroplanes are going from there, Jodhpur. And when they were coming, then I said to my father and my mother, "Mother, look, mother, your brother, oh, your father, oh, my brother, it is my, it is that my Gurujī." And I always said yes, and yes, I don’t know. What is a helicopter? I don’t know. I don’t know, little village from here to here, nothing else. And then once, Holi Gurujī brought Mā Prabhujī there, and his sister, and my three brothers, we are, so they should go one with my mother. And I was only, I was crying, "I will go with mother." Not only me, I go, children are children. Yes, I went there, and then I saw Gurujī, because at that time my father passed away. Then my Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, came. Holi, Gurujī. And there I saw what a person. He’s very great. When people see Mahāprabhujī, Mahādwanājī, yes, everybody, people see what? What will that personality, personalities, that is that, and you know that all my bhaktas are looking, everybody, all my disciples here, all, and I see you are so good, everybody, like my Gurujī standing, yes, yes, no. When I get up here, you all stand up. You are, it is not only that others like this, but you are from this. This Guru is only this, and I am with you, and I will ever and all the times I will keep with you. If you will know it, that I am not anymore, yeah, but I will be with you, you will be with me. It is like Mahāprabhujī is also Alakpurījī Aage. What do you think about that? And you know, you can really, I told you, Alakpurījī has brought us now, and you are all, it doesn’t matter from which country you are, you are of the Alakpurījīs. Because at that time, there was no religion, this religion or that religion. No, it was only the Hindus, not all people, that all, very only one. All was one. All was only one. They know, but we know that we don’t know language. We did not know each other, but now we have come to many countries, and we know everything, and like this. But it must not be a language, not words like this, but in our heart. And in there, where is, so it is like this, that beautiful everything, but there are many, many stars. So, all, like we are all the stars, we are all here. But when the sun rises, we can’t see them, all of this. And the sun, and that sun is shining. And why are we not shining? Everything, everywhere. How? And what is it he said sometimes? I don’t know about your countries, people don’t know, but in my country, and in India, and in my, that, they mean my father said to me something, but that doesn’t. So when the sun rises, then it’s all shining. Not only one person, or not only some like a good one. You are all we are when the sun rises, and not only for people. The sun is not looking only at humans. Everything, trees, everywhere, everything, and it doesn’t matter where it is. It runs, it is coming also from the ocean. The water comes up, and it’s coming again, water. Now, here is a sign, our tree, not in the morning, a sign, yeah, no, not. The sun, not the water, rains. And when the rain is going, this rain is not only for the humans, but for the grass, for anything, for the trees. Everywhere is this, not for you alone, my dears. And so we should say it: we are not only one. We are, and we are that who we are with that guru, that person. That is, and that is, therefore, it is said, very good, every form. So you are, that said somebody, so said, okay, okay, yeah, yes. So in this way, you are, when you come, when you come in this area, where is, whatever it is, under the trees, on the trees, on the leaves of the trees, this everywhere, there we are all with this stone, a little, little ant, all there. We are, they will be in the guard of that which we of Mahāprabhujī and Alakpurījī have come, and therefore I said, as long as we will be in that sun, we are all, all doesn’t matter who is who, but when one sun coming, and so our children. We said, "Always, my son, what they said, my son, light in my son." And so, in her heart, it is like this: many countries, different, this and that. But when our body is built, lie down, then we will go away. That go anywhere, so we don’t know who is will be. God, how and where we are this, but only how long we are? We are each other’s, and we have in body all what we have inside. All animals have like this also, there on way, but we are human. And this human, please become that, and that will become. The sun, sun, we are the sun, and that will come up free. But the water in the ocean, a very big ocean, and from the ocean comes again the water. The humidity goes up, takes, comes, nothing remains, only peaceful, pure water, pure. And it is going up, look. It is like that, and that it is coming again down for us, yes. Then how will water go? How will it go? And this and that, so we are water. We are, we are the ocean. We are all ocean in this area. After when, when you go, and how do you do? Then it is dust. Will come in the ocean, yeah. The ocean is with all dust, everything, but when it will go up, that is it. So there are some children, little people, also coming here. So in this way, this week was very great for you. You came from many distances, also from America, Australia, and each other more, every side. And thank you very much for this. With this, I am so happy to say, and now we will do something. A little bit of exercise, and that is we close the eyes and only be in your heart. Just in your heart. Yes. This heart is from everyone. After, if someone is doing something, it is only thinking, what is speaking and thinking, and like this. But this human body, see inside what it is, how peaceful. So we are very good. And think in your heart, put your right hand and see that other left, as you like this, that, or like this. Just that warmth will come, and what is... It always, my heart, my heart is very warm. It is warm. Left hand on your navel and right one on your heart. You should feel on the navel, left hand, middle knee, and chest. In our heart, navel, they are making that movement, or each and other, from navel and in your navel. From this, I will tell you this, which I told, still not told, and this is that. Think, try it. It will be so your heart and your navel connect to your thoughts, or mentally, in your eyes. Eyes are closed, otherwise everything is negative. And there, feel thyself, including ourself. You are in me, and they are whole in this ashram. Let us see our life as an ocean, the whole in our heart and navel. Warm, you will warm, and you give the warmth to everyone. We feel it makes us warm. The two points from where the warmth now is thinking, and in your mouth you feel mine and you. We are one peace, peace and peace, and now both hands together. And they are going like this.
