The Eternal Dharma and the Tale of the Priest and the Dog

A spiritual discourse and parable on Sanātana Dharma and karma.

"You know, when I go to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, etc., the people who come are all from Bhārat, India. All is that all."

"Bhagavān, God, who is God, keeps his people in such a way that God says, 'I am below you, but you children are in front of me, sit down.'"

The speaker delivers a wide-ranging discourse, touching on the origins and spread of Sanātana Dharma from India, interspersed with personal travel anecdotes and observations on other faiths. The talk culminates in a parable about a priest who unjustly beats a dog, leading to a divine court where the dog speaks, illustrating the karmic consequences of harming living beings.

Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī, devādhi deva deva purīṣa mahā deva kī, mādhavānandajī Bhagavān kī, satya sanātana dharma kī, mātpitā gurudeva kī, satya sanātana dharma kī, oṁ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabodhi Prajñā. ... Namaḥ sabhās prabho śaraṇa-pārayaṇam. Oṁ namaḥ śrī prabodhi nārāyaṇam. Namo śrī prabhu-dīpa rāya. Namaḥ sabhāṣ prabhu-śaraṇāpah. Namaḥ yom namaḥ śrī prabhu-dīpa. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī. Satya Sanātan Dharma kī Ārādya Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Amare Paramapuṣya Bhagavān Śrī Madhavānandjī. When I saw Mahāprabhujī, I understood what was what. Then Madhavānandjī Bābjī said to Madhavānandjī regarding Mahāprabhujī that whatever exists is for the Guru. The Guru is of many types. One is the mother and father. After that, if you understand that it comes from our mother and father—their thinking, their gifts, that which we have to give to our child, but how and when—we know that this is our Hindustan, Indian Hindustan. The Hindus, from where they are living, many things... nearly half of everything was this Sanātan Dharma. But gradually, it will come. One lecture day, they took one, another, some other, and like this. But still, in all this area, they all know and understand themselves as a seminar or a yogī. You know, when I go to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, etc., the people who come are all from Bhārat, India. All is that all. And then, there are many, many people in India. In this part of India, where there is an ocean, and on this side, where I go many times, all the people are coming from over this side. But these people, others, they have a language which I don't know. They are mostly people who are not so tall, slow, a little... And from there, they are all speaking. But these old people, even now, in their house, in the evening, early morning, lunchtime, afternoon, and before going to sleep, they are doing these things. We don't understand this language of this person, but they live there about God, yes. When I came, I saw this in this area. They said that we know he is coming from India, people there, and these people. Here, you know where we are, we have what we call dharma, our understanding about God. Because India is a very big, very great... India began from that nearby Vienna, and there are where London and this and that other. The other side is the Christian missile, yeah. Only that we have a very big law in this, and they are living there. When I come from India, from Vienna to Europe, and we come there—I was there very long ago with... For Christians and Muslims, but they have good there. And what they said, yeah, they made this. I went long ago, that very, very, and from that day, I began to make for all many days, to make one tree, one tree. And somewhere, what they gave me something like this, so I was there. And then I was there from that side for the first time. They brought me very much, and that is all. So that was in there. We went to see this Mahāviṣṇu. So we went, about twenty, twenty-five people. From there to there, Muslims are there, yeah. Good, they are nothing wrong, but they eat in this and there. So, our whole group went to go a little far distance, half a kilometer or something, one kilometer more, I don't remember. So, we went there and there. These people, they are looking all the time in different kinds of countries, and they all see what is in this earth. Here we know where it is coming from. Where in this, in India, is also so. It was there we went, and there were about 20 people. They are like this here and here, and they're dealing out some of this. And what they do when they see Earth from the Earth and see slowly, slowly the house, and that house is gone out from up, I think, or something, but there's... One room, this and that, long, long years, that time and that time, that which is the Muslims, they are this also, who is coming to India and like this. That time, they were not there, Muslims? No, there is nothing, so we get there. We see that they are drilling something, and in that drilling, like this, it comes: "Bhagavān Śiva, Śiva,... Śiva." So it means that at that time, so many years, and it was deep, a little bit. Like this, and I have seen that, and we all saw this and that. So many or few sādhojā Indians, they go there and they see, and they see this is about this, this is Bhagavān Śiva. So there it was still like this, and from there when I come. I tell you that when I come from Europe, and from Europe to come time where I'm coming, which is that very nearby Europe, and there is a big, big ocean—not ocean—the whole three mountains, big mountains. And these mountains, it is situated near Vienna. Of course, it is about two kilometers or something like this. Then they come there, the stone. And this is that is a coming very stone, like Himalaya. So the Himalayas are late. In the whole world, the Himalayas were placed last. Isn't it? And that's why it is very difficult to agree. There were how to go, and this and that, everything. So from there, you go there, very high, very, very high, and it's coming till there... ... ... They are not Muslims; they are Christians. So, how many years have they been there? Not even 100 years. And this Muslimwala is not even 1,000 years old; it is so old. It is okay, it is not that far. So from the time of Lord Himalaya to that time, they have the name of Hindu. Hindu, when I come from an aeroplane, in some aeroplanes, I come from here to there so many times, this is there. So in that, one should say something like this: there is a girl, in front of her, the children sit and tell her to go to sleep. Tell her to go and sleep. Go and sleep. Good night. Yes. Everyone who wants to go, go. Otherwise, go. Hari Om Tat Sat. Everything else is Tat Sat. No, no, he is working very, very much the whole day. Thank you. So from there, it's coming down. And that it comes from there, near Gujarat. Where does it come from there? Gujarat. After that, after Gujarat, it goes to Mantua. And after that, while using it, then that became a big thing in this, more. Indra, so yohan se le karke, aur dusra aapar bhi tete, ki amare there was a very big store of water or something like this. And there was this side and a little other side. So, the Hindus, the Hindus or the Christians, from there it is coming, this all, like Premanandajī, Gaṇeśa, Prabhupādajī, all of them, and we, who? This is what we call Hindustān. So whatever happens from here is very good. So we are all here, whether it is our Hindustan or our Jumer, our country. So those who are ours, from there and from there, half go to the other side. And the other side came to this side. And that side had so much water, and then again snow, and then very much. From there, slowly, slowly, from there, it is coming like this. And from this, we came here, and there, and this. But now, in India, there are so many different kinds of people, and they are all like that. This was it. And from that, it is said, we are here like Indians or Hindus. Now it is now, for example, after how far, I don't know, I cannot tell. But from these people, there go there, there is only little, and like this, and black, and this they have their name very many that is there, and other it has come. What do you call it in India? Our we are all this is that, this is this, these are all whether you... Go to Vienna, but this is like that together. And so, from where London, America—America is complete, they are not there. They are not there. They came here from Europe, from here, from Europe, from there. And where did they go? London. So in London, they were not there. They all went from Europe. And Europe is where he was. There are how many? They are like this man, this man,... and this man. They are fighting, and then he is like this, and this is like this. And in Jalandhara, America, they are still there. But for how many years? America is 300 years old. Not everyone has come to America. They have only come this far. And the others were those who were called Hindus. What do they call them? Yes. So they are those. The others are a little different. They are these, but they used to do that religion. But whatever came, those people caught the others. They did everything to break them, and the way he was, he was caught and brought back to life. So he is the second one, but in that Simthang, and then America. Where is America? Where is America? In both. In what? Tell me. They call him American, Indian. So what is the reason for being Indian? India means Hindu. Many think, "Okay, it doesn't matter, it is good, everything is good, we are." But how about the people? Where is it coming from? And so, how long it was—long, long—it is coming. So, Bhagavān said, once, Bābājī said, Madhavānandjī Bābājī said, That Bhagavān, Bhagavān Śiva, and after Śiva, you know, who is he? Rām, Rām, Bhagavān Rām. So, Ram, who is with Ram? When all of Ram's things happened again, so Bhagavān came back. So he always watches what he has to do. It is a very good place; it is very beautiful. So what happened? That when Lord Śiva, who is written as Lord Lakṣmaṇ, started to rest, everyone became a saint, because Lord Rāma is there, and Rāma says to everyone that he is Lord Rāma. Now, what is happening is that all the sages and devotees used to come there. There was one saint, not a saint but a paṇḍit. He was very good. Pundits are not counted. There is no pundit there. Who is the pundit? Who is the paṇḍit? Who is the paṇḍit?... There was a great priest who went to visit. So, that priest was going for meditation or going to work on something, so he was going. There is a lot of land here. What do they do with it? So it is going, and as it is going, maybe left side or right side, and a distance from here to there. What is the name of the grass? It is called grass, isn't it? So, there is one nice, very nice dog. So, you know what is a dog? It is a dog, or it is called a dog. It is a dog, isn't it? So, the dog was just lying like this. So, the dog is sleeping. Pundit has not come yet. Go, don't eat. Go and get some flour. So what is that? Wow! Puṇḍit. Who is eating? Go, go. Otherwise, you will get sick. One has not eaten. Go, go, go. Jāt Guru Samījī, open the door. Open the door. What to say about the true guru? So, Bhagavān, God, who is God, keeps his people in such a way that God says, "I am below you, but you children are in front of me, sit down." Isn't that so? Why? What is the reason? There is a father and children. So how can a father not take his child with him to his home? Now the priest is leaving. Take a stick. He saw a dog. He said, "Why is there a dog?" He said one dog was beaten, like this. He said one dog was beaten, so the dog ran ahead. What happened? That side, dog, dog went directly to Bhagavān Śiva. Rām, Rām, Bhagavān Rām. So, Bhagavān Rām ke liye, Rām ne kitne logon ko bulā ke rakā, aur woh baithe. Woh ek kuttā ko āyā. To kuttā ā kar ke kahā, he said to the Lord, "I have not done anything." I was sitting somewhere in the garden, and there was a garden, and he was going on and on there. He is a human, he is a human, and I am a dog. But see why? He took the stick two times, and Panditji left. But when the dog came, he went there and called everyone. He called everyone, he called all of them, and the dog came and stood there. And God said to him, "Look, all of you have come." Why are you here? Because I may or may not do wrong. I will ask all of you, what happened? The priest sat there, and the dog sat there. The dog said, "I have not bowed to him. No, I sat near him." And why could he be? Tell me. So, Bhagavān ke rahe hai, ki bhai, āp sabhī batāo, sabhī ko iskā kyun? Why did they do what? Killing him? He was taking, so what was beating or this? Sabhī ko kahā, everybody said it was not good, it was not good. And to me then, God said, God said that this animal, this animal, that is also there, so you, what do you call it, dog? So the court said, Gurujī said, "You tell me, why? What happened?" So I went to Suvarata Dur, and this Panditjī hit me twice or thrice. Then God said, "Panditjī, why did you hit him?" Did he hurt you? Did he say anything to you? Something or the other has done something to you. He said, "No, I have done nothing to them." They are tough here. Why you boss then to this dog? Dog, Kutta, Abhishek, oh, they okay. Can I, the Bhagwan, Nabi, kasha mean a car? Pundit naka ha, so Pundit jī, hey Brahman, hey, who's Kaka? Kebhap ko kya kena? Sabine kakim, Pundit jī, go kya? I'm good. Dinda kare, kush kare, hey go Sabi. After that, the dog said, "My all, my brothers, my guru, everybody, I am a dog. I will tell you that you should have a very good birth in a good place." What did he say? Oh, he did this. That dog tells the priest, "You eat, do everything." See ahead what will happen to you. What will happen to you. He said, "How did he do this?" So everyone said, and God and that dog, all of them joined their hands and said, "I am going, and I will not harm you. You will be fine." And the second time that will come in your life, what will happen to you in that birth? And that Pandit, that dog Pandit went. At that time he came again. What did he get in that? What did he make? Yes, a very good man's, elder people's, they made him do it. That he will go there and get a lot, he will do it. So what happened inside him then? What happened? He did not see. So he said that he will do this much. So he said that what he has done is this. And now he is bringing there. He gives it to him so that you can take this, and then he was good because he got Pandit, Pandit hai naa, Pandiyo, they called him Pandiyo. So that now hai mani itni, mani itni, itni, itni. Aur ek oho bare kitna paisa kiya. But that day, he had such a disease that he was very sad and went to hell. Where did he go? To hell. So what is hell? What do you say is hell? Heaven. In the same way, the animals that are in it are not your animals. Whether it is a cow, a goat, a dog, a horse, a camel, a bird, whatever it is, oh brother, if you hit this animal, it will go back into the water, and it will go and make it a little better and put it in hell. That is why whatever you have, it may come to you, but if you do it, it will come out. Even if you do that, that will also be a lot of pain. Om Namah Śrī Prabodhi. Om Namah Śrī Prabodhi. Amma Sabhā Dāsa Prabhu. Amma Sabhā Dāsa Prabhu.... Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ...
