Hari Om, praṇām Gurudev, praṇām Swami, praṇām sisters and brothers. I have been asked to say something. To make the topic a little easier—after this morning’s lecture where Śrī Gurujī looked at a future that does not appear so rosy, and the complex topics of marriage and marital cohabitation—these are not simple subjects. Swamījī spoke of hard truths about a future that seems dim, and marriage, which we see is also quite difficult. You may think the topics I choose are only on the surface, but we can reach some deeper ideas. Perhaps some have a tattoo on their skin; if it is not too large, it can be quite nice. What I have to share is something more, a higher level than a tattoo. It is, as you can see, surgery, and this goes much deeper. This is not new, but I think it will become quite modern in the future. You would be much more interesting with these few stitches on your skin as a tattoo, especially in a swimsuit at the beach. One advantage is you get it for free from the hospital, from health insurance. The disadvantage is you must take it as a bundle, with all the things to which it is connected. Slowly, I come to the heart of this topic: surgery on the heart. This surgery could bring you deep reflection on your spiritual path. Our ego signals to us how great we are, how we are the best in the wide world spiritually, but this is a very straightforward signal that brings us back to earth. This is deeply connected to a story from the Rāmāyaṇa, which you surely know, about Hanumān. He was tasked to prove his bhakti, his devotion to Rāma and Sītā. As you know, with his strong hands, he opened his chest, and in his heart everyone could see a small Rāma and a small Sītā. Thus, all doubts about his devotion vanished. It is quite difficult to do this manually because of the chest bones, but our heart can do it in our favor. It will open your heart, and in the ideal case, a small Viśva Gurujī would sit there, saying hello and smiling to the operating team. Our surgery team would open your chest, and in an ideal scenario, the surgeon would see a small Viśva Gurujī sitting and blessing him. The question is how such a surgeon would take this, but surely someone would film it, and it would become viral on social media. This did not happen on the 25th of May, as you can see. I failed in this task. This case shows we can hardly compare to Hanumān and his qualities. In reality, during such an operation, they kill you, fix something in your heart, and then revive you. As written in the Bible, you first have to die to be born again. In an ideal world, this would mean that if they kill us during the operation and we become alive again, we should be enlightened. It would be very nice if it were so easy to attain enlightenment. But in the Bible, it is written in very small, invisible letters that this means killing our ego. If this homology produced enlightenment ten times a week, Kali Yuga would end in a few years if it worked so beautifully. It really does not work that way. Gurudev always says it is not easy to achieve, to overcome the gap between our everyday life and the Guru Tattva, the state of the Guru. As our Guru also said, it is not so easy to achieve this state of consciousness, to overcome this whole gap. That was just a little piece of advice. In any case, we have here a beautiful satsaṅg, and I will return the word with the humility of the Gurudeva. Śānti, śānti. Where is the śānti? What is that? Because the śānti is that it will be all oneness. It is like a mother and the child comes with her. How are they with them? Taken out from her infallibility. But mother and child, they are very clean and best. Also, the father. When we were three—it was two, you and his wife—and came one child, and we were so beautiful, very clean. How many, many times they are with the children. Very little, and they are very great. When they come from the mother, everything is very pure. And they are going everywhere, the children. But always, the mother is coming with. And the father is also going somewhere, bringing this and that, coming home. And when they come in the house, how happy they are, all three. When the child comes, then what are we thinking? Because we were two, me and her, this boy and girl. And they were enjoying. There are only two, and these two, they are very happy, and they are doing very good. But when the child comes, then both of them are so happy and take the child in hand. That time we said, "Now we are good husband and wife." But now we are very good, but we have another now. And that is our child. What we do, what she, comes the child, very beautiful. Now we will not think too much about what we did, but we were always working for the children. And so is the coming more, brother. Height, exit, and so in the way we are here. You and your wife, then came a child. Then came the child, and there is one person. And so, is that the spiritual person? Or they see all like a guru? They then will give everything. How they are, how they are not, decided. And so then, you are husband and wife, and the third, like we are all, we are like a guru when we go like this. Then we will be very happy and very good, and we will always say, "We are coming, my child is going more and more." And how are the children doing? The one child is coming to school, that, that, and that. So, father and wife and mother, they are taking care of the child more and more and... Practicing. And then that child will be great, and now he will get a child. But the best thing is always that we are one. But now, for many, many people, they get one girl, this and that, then she goes away or he goes away, and where is it? Now it is that. And we don’t know what it is they are doing to people. We don’t know, and we can die. So first is what we should eat. For example, when the child comes, and now the mother, she’s drinking for the child. And how many times the mother is looking, and she wants to drink for the child. And how is very pure for her mother? But when we begin to think, and then we are eating some different thing, and this and that. And it is the whole world. Now it is like this part where people are living. We have now in every country, but who is there? So we have our ashram, our ashram... And you have in your house, but there is a, what do you call them? Mandir? Temple, and that is in countries they have this new, very nice. We have here very nice this church. In every country there are different religions. These religions also have temples in which there are altars. Here in this country, you have a church, and you see that everywhere. We have like this, and other Indians, they also have. They always, they are thinking and giving the children. And good weight, good child. But you know, does it all come there in the ashram? And when those who do not come here, then what will happen? If we can go morning and evening in the temple, not that they are not doing anything, and that is now it’s gone very much that people, and they are not going in spirituality. So, how is it now in this time? And so we should be very careful. Really, really, and really. And this should go with his mother and father and brothers, and this all is like one person. And you know, now they call, everyone has gold, gold, money. And how is it they bring that? And when more and more money, we are getting negative things. Now, everyone in every country is coming and taking money, money, money. So they have money very much everywhere. And everyone is looking for a way to get as much money as possible. I will go. I can do. And then everything is going on. So, on this day, we will be. But beautiful one, and good one, and real one, that we will remain. So we also tell you that everywhere I am, like in our place, and we are practicing, and we should do. So, in the morning when you are sleeping, do you go to sleep but say something for God or something? And when, in the morning when we stand, then we see ourselves. I open and open my eyes. How is it happening with me now? I was sleeping very well. And morning, and in the morning, I open my eyes, my thinking, and what is that? What will I do? Where am I going? And how? The whole day, there are so many people. Many, many people tell, "Now I can’t do." I don’t know. What I can do. This is now, in this time. So you should have your children, but children take very nice. Otherwise, it is your child, but slowly, slowly, they are going out. So what he told us, he had to me now, that he was telling very nice. He was speaking, and I was thinking very much what was in my heart. So, this is what we should do in these few days, however many we are here. And therefore, these days that are now waiting for us here together, we should clean everything from our insides. All negative things from our insides, we should clean out. And come very nice, very happy, and you will all be friends, very good. So we also practice how we are doing. So when you go in meditation or sitting, but what do you think? He was in another room there, practicing. Here is practicing. Here, there are others, and somebody is working nicely, making very nice eating for our good things. So, where, what are we seeing? What is happening? I’m sitting, closing my eyes in this room, and what is now? I close my eyes. I was sitting and not speaking. What am I doing? What I am thinking, it will be good what I do in my body. And in everybody, I am only in my body. But I want that I will go in very peaceful, good feelings, good thinking, and we open our eyes, and beside me is our friend, beside is also other everything, this so that we are all sitting here so still, we are all. And we are speaking, but how is it thinking now? What is happening now? We will go here, there, going to sit and part the ring, tilak. We are sitting here. I would think very much myself. How will I be? Will I be really very clean and pure? I will go through and through and through. And so, when you have children, take care of your children very much. Then it’s ready and good. Otherwise, children will be all little, and they will not think of father and mother; they will do this, and they will do this, and like this. And the time is this. Your parents, it doesn’t matter, anybody can do. And their parents, they tell, "Sit down, do this, please, not this." They say, "No, why?" I will not eat. I eat now, but we make prayer. No, no, I don’t want. I will eat like this. You know what is happening now in this whole world? So, when the child is coming, we give them very good, very, very... very for them. So we will come more and more good people, yeah? I said in my heart, OK? You will be very good. And it is said, if someone tells something, we should go back. We go back. If somebody, or anyone, tells some words, anything, and then you can, OK, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We say, "Sorry." So now we, ourselves, should be careful. So this morning we were speaking about something very nice. How was it? It was very nice, okay? And many, last time, our friends and everything, they went back yesterday. They were also very great, good. So, we, not me only, me, all. So now you should be very, like, very, to work very good and think everything yourself, your children or something, OK? So now it is like this. You know, you have learned everything from me. And Gurujī’s, and then there are many books. Best is that all these books look like they are in India, but we have books. What are these all? Holy books. But beautiful books. What is inside is very pure, good things. But they don’t read, not reading. Yes, all books are lying there. And now they are making other books, not that beautiful books for us, everyone. But it’s going out, and they take out others. And what do we call God? Which God? Where is God? Where was God? So, in that God, they are writing something wrong. There was a very nice book here. It’s here. With heaven here? No. It should be very good. And with this, if you will see, then what is that? And this is not that. So it is a warning, early morning, what I told you many times: some things, I don’t open my eyes until I am human. And a little drop of the water in the whole body. I stand upon the earth. And then further I will be telling, or every time I am telling. But now you yourself, you yourself make these books, read this. And this, when we will read it nicely, what is God? This and that. So these books, you have Christians, and the Christians, they have a holy book. And I’m in Europe. How many languages I was here, you know, how there. And they said many times they have taken it out, what they keep. I see it. There is also where it is. But why do they like other things then, no? So we said, we have two books, that old one. And so we have this one book, very nice, and not even one word can open our chains. So I would tell you, if you want, to take this book. Do we have it? Yes? You can bring it. Until she comes, we will do something. Bhajan, good bhajan. This bhajan should go in our whole bodies, each and every inside. And so the Mahārīṣis’ and this bhajan, Madhvanānjī’s and Māpurījī’s bhajans, and how nice it is, very good. So, can you do one bhajan? Good. Okay? Śrī Śrī Devpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai. Śrī Satguru Swāmījī Madhavānanda Jī Bhagavāne Kī Jai. Viśva Guru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Parahaṁsṛī Swāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jai. I will try to say a few words about the Rāmāyaṇa. The Rāmāyaṇa is one of the most famous Indian epics, and together with the Mahābhārata, it’s called Itihāsa. This means, in translation, it happens like this. Rāmāyaṇa takes place at the end of the Tretā Yuga. Because at the end of this epoch, there remained the negative energy of Asuras. And it was necessary, the good action. As we know from the Bhagavad Gītā, God Kṛṣṇa taught that all the time when dharma is losing and adharma is increasing, and those who follow dharma are not in good condition, then God always presents Himself on the earth. This was the same case when God Viṣṇu incarnated as Rāma. And Rāma became an example of those who followed Dharma at all costs. He was an ideal son, perfect student, perfect brother, perfect king, and perfect husband. And then he became an example for centuries. I think we all know this story, but there is a lot of important information for us, a lot of wisdom, and I think it’s very important for all of us—for those who don’t know this story to know it, and for those who know this story to read it again. I will say a small story from Rāmāyaṇa. It’s from the time when Sītā was choosing her husband. It wasn’t really a case that she could choose the husband, because it was already given that only the man who could carry the bow would become the husband of Sītā. This bow was given by Paraśurāma as a gift to the father of Sītā, and it was Śiva’s bow. So we know this story: Rāma succeeded in this test. And then there was a wedding, and also the brothers of Rāma were taking their wives. And after a few days, they were returning back to Ayodhyā, where Rāma should sit on the king’s chair. They came back on the chariots full of gifts, and suddenly Paraśurāma stood in front of them. And all became frightened because Paraśurāma was an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Patañjali, it was an incarnation of Viṣṇu. And his aim, the Paraśurāma aim, was to punish all the Kṣatriyas who lost their dharma to protect. And Rāma and his brothers all were Kṣatriyas. And when the father of Rāma, King Daśaratha, saw this, he fell down on his knee in front of Paraśurāma, and he asked Paraśurāma for the life of Rāma, as he is very young. But when Rāma saw this, he got off his chariot and came to Paraśurāma. And he just realized that Paraśurāma is very old, and that it is not correct to fight Paraśurāma because that would be against Dharma. So he greeted him, he bowed in front of him, and he just fired into the sky. And when Paraśurāma saw how wise Rāma is and his humbleness, then he blessed him, and he blessed all. So instead of killing, there was a blessing. So there are plenty of such beautiful stories in the Rāmāyaṇa. One page? Yeah, one page. So I will try to read, it’s in Sanskrit. And this means that I’m greeting the devī of the speech. Who is the source of the sound? And they represent an alphabet, and they multiply the things through the sound in a very poetic way, with the using of rhythm. They give a goodness and a blessing. So if we can see and think about this, so, one little point. So it is a very long book, but if you would like, then you can have English and Indian. Yeah, Gratia. When you have seen and understood, it is great. And I think I have done already today. For all of you, just one in the morning and evening sight. In India, there are many things, but there is nothing like this anywhere.
