In the bhajans, God is present

A true devotional song reveals the oneness of all life. A beautiful bhajan once moved a teacher to give alms, demonstrating its profound power. The source of a bhajan matters less than its divine essence, which transcends all worldly distinctions. This spiritual unity encompasses every being and every tradition. All life returns to a single source, just as rivers flow into the ocean. Death comes to all—humans, animals, people of every faith—and in that moment, all superficial divisions dissolve. The essence of life is universal, connecting every creature and every element of creation. A genuine bhajan expresses this fundamental oneness.

"Life is life, life for everything, even for little things like animals or something."

"It is above everything, at the highest height... What is that? God."

Mahāprabhujī was once seated when a sādhanā came and began to sing a bhajan. Horī Gurujī was so deeply struck by its beauty that he took money from his own pocket and gave it to the person singing. It was not only Horī Gurujī; others felt it too. I mean to say that anyone... it must not be that... Okay, so any bhajan you have, if it is very good, it is good. Who tells a very... and we see someone who is not. They take bhajans from one person, then from another, and then from yet another, and it ends with no name or anything, like this. This is not good. But if you know that it is, for example, your child... Everybody said, "Where is that?" And then this child will tell, or the mother will tell. Five mothers are sitting. Who will tell suddenly? Why? Because she, we take the child in her arms to give it a drink. And all was good. They said, "Oh," or somebody will say it also. I think now you should give milk to your daughter. Yes. She said, "Oh, yeah, okay, I will do." So it’s like, so nice is that all the others were... it doesn’t matter. It is our, in Kumbha Prabhujī, Devpurījī, Alakhpurījī, and all of us—it’s all one movement. The movement is also very good, Muslim. They are very great. They have such nice bhajans, or something, very great. All Christians, yeah, that also have everybody, how that is. So, it is like this: when it comes to these bhajans, it is above everything, at the highest height. So, it doesn’t matter, anybody there, only but only that one is that. What is that? God. So, when anybody dies, whether Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or anybody else, you will see there—and we saw it a few years ago—just how people died and how they were given. So they were all together in Christian, and what happened two years before that? These memories, which were that. So, also that the animals which were dying were also put in the earth or something like this. And they said, "Yes, please go quickly, quickly, cows, anything." They were crying, and so all was together. Yes, and people who can think have no time. So they can give any of these words, or put it now in some, yeah. So then, who is there? So it can also be some words; it became snake. So the life in that life that we know, what everything is this and this and that and that, and when in their life, not their life, in that. It was for all. It will go anywhere. Not only in our garden, but somewhere, the snow. Now the rain comes, it comes. Yes or no? Yes. And when it is coming, and then it is coming, then again, where is it going? Why? And that is still not pure to something. But it will always go dirty, or anything, or we drink water, or there are certain days that the trees—or not the trees—one name I have forgotten, I don’t know. But in the time, it is like we will come very... very soon after, then our garden, very nice and warm, and these and all things, like you want to get water or this and many, and there is only one, and he will not drink water. And what? He said, "Only I will drink from you." Yeah? What is it? Papaya. Papaya, yeah? So this papaya, he’s standing there. I read water enough. Why don’t you drink? He said, "No, no." And so, everybody will drink water, or it’s good, and the water has come, and like this. But why did he remain alone? Because he bought that pew, that pew, pew, pew, oh. And that is that great one who will be to God. Everything else is in this way, and so it is very nice, your bhajan. And we will have now one bhajan more, okay? So, this is any bhajans, but it has to come like that, yeah? And it is like this: life is life, life for everything, even for little things like animals or something. That is also good, and the other is that. So they are all humans also. What are they eating, and how will they go? What are they doing? And it will go all in again into the ocean, all into the ocean. But that, he doesn’t want that. Because this is the time in India, as we call here, and here also, water will come, pew, pew, pew. A woe should know there is nothing, but he wants to die. But he’s lying, I water. And really, for that, it will come and drink to him. And he said, "I am with you, my Lord, Bhagavān." And what is that? We. We are here. We are many from different countries, many places. There is a mother, or a father, or anything. And where will it come from? So that is what is said. That will be everywhere, and many people have told me, they tell me very much, that they told me also nothing is coming out. This is a problem, only a little bit of liquid. So, any animals or anyone, but they who are the one, this will be good, or what? Only now I have is mine, and that it will come. And so, my disciples, I am always telling you, and you know for how many years and since when. So, my disciples, they were very young also, with me, or little, or like this, or me, also old, or this. And many of my disciples, very, very many, have died now. But they see there are many people in their house or there. What is everything? Their families, they said, the Swāmījīs. Many, because they were not aware of where everything is, or who is doing good, and who is not eating meat or something like this. But on that day, when he is dying, then they all sit like this. I was not like that, yes. And so are those beautiful bhajans. And this bhajan is from, it doesn’t matter from whom, pew, pew, from where the traffic is coming, from where it is coming. And into the, if he will come like this, like this, no. He is the only one to whom it comes. So, any bhajans, good bhajans, you want to send anybody, please? Anybody, you believe, Arṣā Devī? Yes, good. Yeah, because he was very much, did it already very good? And you will, and after, you will, yeah. So, anyone would like to do bhajan very nicely, but what kind of bhajan is that? And that, Holī Gurujī was listening. Many other sādhus were coming, and he was making bhajan, and he was so good. And after Holi, Gurujī got a hundred or so rupees from his book and gave it to him. He did not say, "I was sitting there." I said, "Gurujī, you are giving money to somebody." He said, "No, no,... Mahesh." So many sādhus, many are very good. Lectures are also good, every reading, but not inner, inner not. Water is coming, dripping already. But see, one is thinking that, will it come to me? In my mouth, that’s coming, so many. Hari Om. Śrī Alakhpurīṣī Mahādevan, Śrīdeveśvar Mahādevan, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, Kī Jai, Hari Om. O Gurudev, your ātmā is Paramātmā, Mahātmā Puruṣottama, the immortal and divine. You are the inner Lord of all the worlds; you are the soul of all living entities. You are the pure, complete, and conscious Ātmā, the true form, as all-embracing as the sky. Meditation on you opens the eyes of knowledge to that which has neither beginning nor end. Your ātmā is the Supreme Soul. Beyond all earthly glories, you are above all the elements. You are that immovable Ātmā. You are the invisible giver, the merciful protector of all. O Prabhujī, your Ātmā is Brahman, the supreme omniscient witness. All the yogīs and saints meditate on that Ātmā to attain the infinite bliss. My deepest respect to you, my Guru Dīp, you are that Paramātmā. He who is devoted and meditates on the Guru will overcome the burdens of the world. This is Sivānanda’s prayer to you. O Omnipotent and Omnipresent Guru Dev, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, Kī Jai.
