The drop returns to the ocean

Brahmari is a profound practice for the soul and the entire brain. Practice it gently without pressure, for just a few minutes, ensuring it goes deep. Doing it for too long, like twenty minutes, is not good. The correct placement is a little up, not on the nest. Consistency is key, as many people start but then stop. Even I have missed practice during travels, but I begin again. This practice is a great gift. Our human life is precious, yet transient like all creatures. At death, everything is released; nothing is for us. Purity ascends, while other qualities descend. Reality is within you.

"Never, never pressure. If you have always felt a hurting like this, then it's not good for you."

"What is done? Diet means gone. And when gone, quickly, they don't want to be in the body."

Did you practice Brahmari every day? Yes? Good. And did you feel something? Very good. Brahmari is very great. I have found there are so many Brahmari practitioners, so many. I also practiced this, and it came very, very good. Many people in India are doing it, and they say "Brahmari" very quickly. They do it quickly because they cannot sustain it for long; they only do it like this. But even doing it like this, some people do it for about twenty minutes or more, and that is not good. It was not good. What is it for? It is for the soul. And the whole brain—the whole brain—and it comes out the other side, and many parts here in the heart, no. Whenever you learn something, it was very great, but never apply pressure. Never, never pressure. If you have always felt a hurting like this, then it's not good for you. Just hold like this, and the heat will come. That is one of the best practices for all. But if you press like this, or differently like this, or like this, that's not good. So, it is a little up, not on the nest, here. It must be here. That was very, very good. And then after, where was it? Brahmari? Oh no, Nābhi. Nābhi, this is. There it was, and then Brahmari. And then another point came. Tomorrow, perhaps in two or three days, we will come to that point for our health. Meditation varies a lot; it is very good. But many people only do it for a few days, and then something is gone. And sometimes they are on the thing. Then it's not like that. Practice is where we are practicing, really, really. I can tell you, I make a mistake. I did not make a mistake, but I did not do it, so it was not a mistake. I was going from India to Australia, then to New Zealand and Fiji, and sometimes there were so many problems and many things, so I had no time to practice, to really practice. Or, from here I came, and I went there. So I was a little tired through all this. And so it is. And now, today, I come and I begin my exercises again. Two hours, and also then a little bit I did not need. So this morning, with you here, is very nice, very nice. These Brahmari practices and these few things must be very, very, very good, everything. So we should do this, and only not too much—just five minutes or something—but it should go very deep inside, very good. So we will go tomorrow, and further on we have some very good exercises. I have called out some rings, and Madhavānandjī Bābājī, how holy he was. Gurujī was doing different exercises, and the exercises were this. Mahāprabhujī was always making a mālā. But in the mala, it was through everything. At night, the holy Gurujī had the mala in his hand a little bit, and he was sleeping, but the mala was still going. Then the mala, Gurujī was a little bit—he was sighing, or he was sleeping—but the mala was still there, and like this, and again. So he was sleeping, but again, the mala was a little bit down. Again, he takes the mala that is with Mahāprabhujī. So Madhavānandjī, Bhagavān thought very great. Mahāprabhujī's also holy Gurujī's make, and he was saying, "Devapurījī's, I don't know, but he was everything, everything, a great, great thing." So this, what we have, is a very great thing. It is our life, and this is a human life. And, you see, I tell you, I don't know what happens or what it is. One human, and now the human dies, so he's like... When our mother gave birth to us, we came in like this, and the child came out. And then some women, so they were working, and they come out again, and like this, and again this, and again, both hands, you know, all like this, and like this, and this. It means that the child became like a very good gift from God, with Him, and brings always good, always then, and always. And so, our whole body is going. Also, our legs and everything, everything. And everything—this is what I told about that morning: open your mouth, our eyes, our eye, and say, "I am human. I am human." So what is a human? What is doing or not doing this? And so we are giving everything. Little babies, but I told that we got all open and we give them everything. And then the day will come when we will lie down and fall down. Then our hands will not be like this. They are opened, and it means now is that. Nothing is for me. All is gone. Other animals also, anything—birds or any other animals, or this. And they also, and even the ant—this is when they have the moving, going, and when they are coming, died, little, and they are sitting like this. It is the same together, maybe with the cows, or the buffaloes, or the dog, or anything like this. And all we can put them together, they don't know, and they were gone. Here, this, but, they are all gone. What is done? Diet means gone. And when gone, quickly, they don't want to be in the body. Like this, and they are like this. So, where and how are they? I said, "I can't control." I told, I'll be telling this, that, and that was this, and this was this, and Brahmā was, and Viṣṇu was, and Kṛṣṇa was this, and Rājā Mahārāj was this, and all. But then, when this is also... so we can... I always talk, I told everybody, I said, "Yes, this God was good, and this and this," but it is nothing. I have seen. But what is going on? They are all going together. A little ant is going there, and the buffalo is going like that. And so, in this, it's like an ocean, and one drop, one drop of the water. And when this one drop is in our palm, and one drop we give to the ocean, and a little, little drop, and they say, "Oh, give me back." It will not go. All is like that, and that is difficult to get. This, and then it comes like this. When this water, how is it going up very high? Then it is very good, very good. And when it's coming to the ocean, everything, dirt in, and not it, and nothing is like that. This is how we go, and how we go north side. This is that purity, purity... purity. It's not so easy. And that's why it is said that when you die, then you think you were, you were a Swami, or the, who was good, was a daughter like this. Otherwise, so purity goes up and other qualities go up. And that goes down, so we are all good. I think you have, but some men, I—some tell me they speak with me, and many all in that, but they are about half a week ago or somebody's dance, and they said sometimes they are eating meat and... Everything with them, oh my God, and he's my disciple, so this is different. Also, again, so it is your... no need. My, I can think, I can tell, I can do something, but reality is in you, in us, and so is this. Many, many things. Many people, and they were all doing, "We are very pure, we are very pure, we are good, and we don't want it," sitting lectures and making very good, and then gone, hadiyom tarsat, and making some lecture of the something, God or something, but then they are gone, they don't see anymore. But how we, you are and me, I think, are we not very real? Yes. If you don't stay, you can go, you can come back again, okay? I don't tell not this or that. We feel like we are family.
