The human body is an instrument for divine expression.

This instrument is made of material elements, yet something unbelievable resides within it. The source of its sound and action is not the form itself. One must inquire into who made this instrument and what its true purpose is. A story illustrates this: a tiger raised among sheep believes itself to be a sheep until shown its reflection. It must recognize its own nature. Similarly, humans often forget their true essence, acting contrary to it. The words and actions produced by this instrument carry power, creating positive or negative effects in the world. The sound of a holy name emerges from within, yet when the instrument is still, there is nothing. The core task is to look within the mind and heart to understand what we truly are.

"Look in the water... Look at your face. You are my tiger, and you are also a tiger."

"The instrument is not here, and we are not doing it, so it is nothing."

Your words, your good words, are forever. Our body is not so quick, but what is within it? It goes through and through. We are sitting here, and you are making bhajan. What I am telling you, you are learning everything. So it is with you. Take this instrument, this hour, in your hand. Who is receiving? You? Come. You see, in this instrument, it is unbelievable. That is something one cannot understand or have insight into. That is what I was telling you today. This is only from some instruments. That is how it is. It is from wood, something from iron, etc. But in that, what has come in? Unbelievable. And so, that is what I tell you: what is this, how much is this, what is that... everywhere. But this instrument can give us beautiful everything. And it is going from here. It is going all into the space, further and further. It is like this, but coming more and all the better. So there is not only this one; there is another one. He is such an instrument, a very good and sweet one, very nice, and he is only speaking, only telling. There is nothing. There is nobody sitting inside. Is anybody sitting inside? But this, it is, but we don’t understand. We don’t know, and how will it be? What is it? And then, there are other things that can come. And there is, what is this instrument there? You have nothing in. But he will just make like this. What has come from inside to the outside? Yes? And so it is like this, what I told: that we have, we can see with eyes only, that, yes? But we don’t speak, so that is the difference. So, in that way, we all should always look at our whole body: who made this instrument, how it was made, and for example, our self. And now, God has sent us something from somewhere, and suddenly a child came with the father and mother, etc. And so, for one child, let’s say, nine days. Elephant is for more. Kṛta, how many? Two doors. Two, no? Not like this. And the other is a very little one. And that happens inside. That is on this side. When it will begin, and this we can. We can. What can we do? What we can do, we have for us all. So, something very beautiful, good things, the world can be. Or, we can tell negative things and negatives, and this and that. Is there also inside? Do you understand me? When we say to someone, we say, "Hello, hello, my friend," this word only. Our, or my, my friend, my friend, or your nature, stupid man, get out. What is inside there? And this can be like this, same in this as it is. So, in that, when we go, thank you. So, what becomes? One little thing is a very little thing, but the heart, it can become what it can become. So, let’s say the child, it will become a child in the mother’s body. How did it come? It was just nothing. First came air, and it is in our navel. That something is. How is that? Is that everything? And then the man may understand, or maybe it did not happen, and he accepted the thought. But the woman, she thinks maybe it is something for me. But it comes. How is it coming? Everything. But it is, there is only one very drop of the drop of the drop, and what is inside in that, and that we are making, then it is, we are all becoming. And now, how is that inside? This child is very good, and this and that, and this will be everything here. All people are not very good. Negative this, that, that. From where did you bring this? My, how have I brought that? And in this, there are maybe two children, two in the body. And one is something like a, let’s say, very holy man, holy, great holy. And the other one is not like that. Negative anything, and this everything’s not good in mothers in her body, but how it is coming and how they are coming, they tell the parents. They tell, "Oh, my child, and with good, and this and that, okay," but his inner side, you are not this. And that, you know, the same child goes around, or anything, this and that, and that. And what is, we said, my God, what God has given this, my child, like that. Or, be very nice, great, like a God, like a God. So in this, we have our instrument. Can you open it, please? And just now, let’s see what will happen. Yes, you see, this came to the church. Yes, all that. Yes, yes. And now this one. Thank God. Yes, this is something different. Where is that? How will it come? Why is it that? And in this, this. And from what is coming on us inside, in this. So, we will, then she will make something nice, some word, yes, you see. So, whatever comes, it will come, and we try, no, it will be that, but it will be others. So, in this, we have to go into our mind, into the heart. Everything. So, how many things are in our body? Let’s say our body. How long? How can one die immediately while still a child in the body? Or whatever these things? You go? Okay. So, there is something and not something. There was a person, one man was in the forest, and with him were the animals. He likes, they are for milk, for the milk. And what happened one day? One tiger came, a little tiger baby, and it was a baby. He fell down and went away. So the man took him on a hunt and brought him with all these animals, the cow, what was that? Sheep. So the sheep are there. So they brought him into the house and gave him milk and this and that all the time. And they were grown big. They are coming, tiger. But he became like this animal, this sheep. So he was going with the sheep. Yes, he goes there, and coming home, they are giving milk and this. So, he was going with sheep. One day, this animal came, this buffalo—not buffalo—this tiger, tiger, yeah, and the tiger came and he sees there is a bit of sheep there, a little one, like a little baby, like him. But he ran quickly and went away. Well, he said, he taught him and gave him some other eating. And he said, "No, no, I will not eat. You will kill me. You kill me." I go home, yes. But he said, "You are a tiger, me." He said, "No, no, every boy, me, me, me." You are not. Then how? Then the tiger said, "Come here, and I will tell you." Have you seen a tiger? Or have you thought about other animals or something? You should know who you are, but no. Then he brought him this, held it like this, and said, "Look near the water, look in the water," and gave some fruit, or some chapati, something, bread. So, look, he hears, and this is thrown out. What is that? This is this animal. He said, "Oh, it’s mine." Then he said, "He gave you meat. Do you eat like this?" No, no... I never eat. No, no. He said, "Now you will like." So he told him, "Look in the water," and said, "Oh, tiger, so this is you. Look at your face. You are my tiger, and you are also a tiger, and exactly my life, how I see my whole body, everything." And then bring that one other animal. So he came there, and he brought it here. Said, "Look, is that your friend, or your sister or mother?" No. What is my dress looking like? This and that, and how? And these others, they are? So said my friend, "You are a tiger." And you should come, and you will live like this, and so on. And the other sheep, the sheep was not like that. So then he said, "So what can I do now? How?" So he said, "A tiger? Another tiger? Come with me, and I will tell you everything." And then he became a very great tiger again. This is that. Many things where it is, which will come, something will be that theme. Others will not like that, so many who are in who. What is that? Our animals come, birds come, birds howl, ducking. Others can do ducking. So, we are Hindu. I am Hindu, and Hindus, humans, people, you know, and there it is, you can do this or you can do that, and so they said, okay, I am the human, so I am human, I am human. I am not meat. I am not this. But all they are doing, people are doing. And that’s why you see how many come. It is not. They will not go. We will not go, because we are the body. Okay. But we are eating meat and this and that, and killing and this and that. Then we are not that human. And, on the other side, this child you bore, how very nice it is, and how the mother is taking care, giving milk, giving, yes, and this is very nice. And this, you see, it’s everything. So there, we have to learn ourselves. We cannot not tell. Everybody is telling everything. Okay, you can do. And many still don’t know. Many, many don’t know what it is and how they are eating this and that. How are the humans going? I told me sometimes, somewhere in other times, I don’t know, where there are many people, and many are eating meat and this and that, and there is some kind of, they have many whole, the big animals, and now the sun is coming. And in the wind, and very cold, and it’s all coming, it’s very much snow everywhere, snow, snow. And they take the people. It is like a, like a, what will I say, an animal, an animal, but he’s only grass, he’s eating only grass. My horse, and now what they gave, big, and they killed him, yeah, and they hung him there outside the door, in their house, all the time. Because about three or four times, or this much, however long they are living there, days again, and they are eating, then eating, and eating, and... like this. Others also have their horse, and they are very nice. He told me this, my doctor in Czech, Martin, and Martin, the people are bringing him because he’s very good for this. So they are calling him to the Martin, and Martin said once more that, really, the halls are very many, many good, and this and everything, but also how they are killing like that and putting like that. So they don’t understand. They don’t know anything. They think everything, whatever it is, eat and eat and like. But what is a human? What is a human? So, in that way, they can do negative or positive. So, in your instrument, now you will speak, and what will you speak on it? Or what? Speak of negativity on it? Yes? So, you will make nice, okay? Good, okay? And there, in this now, you have not had anything in your body, okay? Nothing. You don’t know, yeah, but you will. The instrument comes, and you said, "Śrī Rām," or anything, yes? Then from where comes this name? What comes? "Śrī Rām, Śrī Rām," or "Rām, Rām..." Or Śrī Rām, or bhajan, or this, anything that comes to you. But it is not that. But now it’s coming from your body. How is it coming? So it comes good, and the good will come. So, come to bhajan like this, please. Yes, one more, yes, yes,... Any bhajan, any, anything, and look, we don’t know, still we don’t know anything, yes, and how it, this comes to you now, yes, and then we’ll go, life, whole life goes with us. So now you have your instrument, and you hold it in your hand, and everybody shows you this. And you were doing something, and it came inside. And how did the name Maheśvarānanda come? And this instrument, the sound—the sound came very nicely. How it’s boiling! It means everybody understood what it is, everybody liked it, and this, but now the instrument is not here, and we are not doing it, so it is nothing. So, this is like this: what we all form in our mind, in your thoughts, you know, the thought, yes. So, it’s everything in your language, and my language is a little different. I have begun now. Many times I speak only differently now, so I lost something, okay? But you understand something, no? Yes. And so, this instrument, it is from wood and this, but what is he doing? I am thinking this is only an instrument inside, meaning that is a good word, and something like this, and what I am okay with, so what is coming? Chanting inside, and that is inside, but if we sit there, we don’t know anything, so who is that? And let us see, and so in this, like this. That which I told you, I told you that I see that our book, and then we have this, and then we get there, and we can further this with aeroplanes, and then furthermore, and this with everything, yes? Understand me, because I said this is one thing, this one instrument, and this second instrument, and this is like this, this... everything, yes? But further it is going, further what? And so this instrument is everywhere; anyone can play it, apply it, and just do it. But from where is it coming from outside, and then how is it going there? And so, is that the instrument? What is speaking? How is it speaking? And how does this, that will make us, whatever we will do, we go everywhere. It will be more than this, and this is how to be inside.
