Do good and be human

Sanātana Dharma teaches a life of peace and harmony. Upon waking, recognize "I am human." This human life is a precious gift. The ātmā, the eternal Self, is the essence within all forms. While nature operates on a principle where life consumes life, the human birth offers a unique opportunity. Humans possess understanding and capability far beyond other beings. This potential should be directed toward good, peaceful, and humble actions, avoiding harm to living beings. The current age is turning toward purity. Regardless of differing religions, the human capacity for goodness unites all. Affirm this human potential daily.

"All humans know everything. They can do many things."

"In the morning when you wake up, say, 'I am human. I am a human being.'"

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Alakhpurījī Mahādev Kī, Mādhavānanjī Bhagavān Kī, Devpurīṣa Mahādev Kī, Mādhavānanjī Bhagavān Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī. Sanātana Dharma is the best for all. Live your life with good things, peace, and harmony. That is what we have to take in our life. Mahāprabhujī has taught this, and so has Devpurījī. You have seen that yesterday was Devpurījī’s day, and there were very beautiful programs everywhere. On that day, there is a consultation, so it happens. I did not know that before Devpurījī’s time, but Devpurījī gave the samādhis and everything. And the next day, I think, I was born. My dears, we have to see that we can, in the morning—as I have told many times—when we wake up, when we take bath, early morning or in deep sleep, daytime also can be, but sleeping. If we can sleep for half an hour or one hour, but when it’s deep sleep, our eyes open. And when we look within ourselves, then it is said, it is my day. I open my eyes as my Self. This is what I always tell you. So, in the morning when you wake up, we say, "I am human." Human. Well, it is said, Jīva Jīva Bhakṣyate. Jīva jīva bhakṣyate. Jīva. Jīva means life. As long as we are alive, it is still life. But when in the body, not our ātmā, this, then there is only the bodies, different things which are in the bodies. That time is all as one ocean, and then under the whole, other parts up there are like all in the ocean, ship after. And then comes a drop down again, and that little drop or the whole ocean, it is the same, like a very first child, or animal, not animal, the child, and that till the old man. We are in that all the time. So, ātmā, ātmā has given two, and one is that jīva jīva kṣyate, all people they can eat them, eat others, like these animals and this and that and that. But it is said Bhagavān Śiva has given one, and that is the human. It has come slowly, slowly. Many things come, and now in these times, all humans, we know very good things. We understand everything. It doesn’t matter from which countries; everyone has good concentration, and good, and good, and that. But it is said that God has given, Śiva has given. Humans should be like God. It will be like God. But of course, there are always two, and that is why Śiva is there. There are both sides. There are other people and other people. Some tell negative, or this or that: rākṣasas, these, etc. All who are there, God itself, you are great, your mother, your father, we are all good in this. Why? Because we are coming to the supreme, highest, everywhere, whatever it is said. And so, this is life, so that is what is said. The human knows. It doesn’t matter what they are doing. All humans know everything. They can do many things. They can cycle, they can do this, they can do that. They can do all things. Other animals may have this, but not very much. They have nothing that much, and so we, we are human. And we are human, and we are doing good things, great things, and many, many things. Our studies are very good, our college is very good, and everything is good. And the other side is coming, then put it at two points. One is this: how the humans are teaching, giving many things, learning very great things, coming to the science, and so on. I would not say that humans cannot do it. I say Hanuman, this is like Hanuman, the son of Śiva. So Shiva and Shiva is that. So it is said that all are great, all are great. I cannot tell anybody that they are not good people. We are all good people, and the other is that there is more difference inside in this. That is like ṛṣis and munis. They are doing satsaṅg, this, this, very much. Both are also great, very, very great. So, besides this and that, the only thing is this: if we cannot kill living beings and not do like this, otherwise it will come once more, something like that. So, you have today, you have in your hand, today, taking your right and left hand down, and take this from today. I will say it to my Gurudev, that everyone should be peaceful, humble, good, and doing good for all. No killing, not this and that, just to be like that. You know that many people, they are great. They are also, if they are eating other things, but still they are humans, very good. And one day it will come, we will go in other directions. So what we give you today is only blessing. And what are then my blessings? Is that you? You are, and you will be. Do all for others, your children and other people. And you know that now, about five years or a hundred years, it was a hundred or something, Kali Yuga, Kali Yuga, very... but now in the Kali Yuga, it has turned now, you will see. Some years more again, how the moon and sun, how it is coming, then it will become in the purities and good things, and our all, doesn’t matter who is who. Religion is different. Religion is different. My religion, my religion,... This is different. But in humans, it is said that a human knows that my eyes are good, my ears are good, I know I can work, I can do many, many things. Everything can be done. Oh, my dears, we are all humans, humans, and we shall pray to that in a way that we will do good things. So every day, again I will tell you, in the morning when you wake up, say, "I am human. I am a human being." In this, we have to run. But if we are telling this half and then going too far, that is coming, something is coming. Therefore, my dears, thank you very much. This day is a great day. I think many people have to go home now or something. So I will tell you only one: I am human. Yes. Who is now the human that you know you should take it? Thank you very much. And I wish you all for everything you need; God will give you. And I will be with you so that we can be together, working.
