We are in a blessed place

A great tree stands, seemingly unassailable. A sādhu claims it will die, but the tree boasts of its might. The sādhu possesses only a small piece of iron, insufficient alone. With a friend's help, applying that small iron, the tree is felled. The cause is a subtle, persistent force, not a grand assault. In an ashram, a tree fell because people cut a little and sat upon it. We must not break things but give goodness. Our actions, even small ones, have consequences within.

"The trees are very big, and it will not happen easily. But I will cut this and that, and the third will fall."

"It is only the little ones."

He was giving a lecture. There was a tree, very big, very tall, and very thick. People could come and go beneath it. One day, a sādhu came and said, "This tree will die." Another sādhu who was sitting there said, "No, we will not die. I will never die. I am so mighty, so great." Then the first sādhu said, "I will cut you down so that you cannot be." The sādhu replied, "I will come and tell you, it will come to nothing." And he left. The tree said, "If someone wanted to cut me down, it would take a very long time." So no one attempted it. Then the sādhu said, "I have only a little with me." He had a small piece of iron. That alone could not fell the tree. But he said, "I have a friend, and this little piece of iron will kill the tree. It is only the little ones." He was playing with that small piece of iron. When they put it to the tree with his friend's help, the tree fell down. The other sādhu had fallen too. After a few years, the sādhu came back to the man and said it was his God, his God. When he came, he cut everything. He said, "The trees are very big, and it will not happen easily. But I will cut this and that, and the third will fall." The tree had been standing with them. You cannot beat it. But there is this little thing only, and this will make it go. So the sādhu came back and said, "My friends, you couldn't do it. You couldn't make it happen." But there was one thing that had broken it. And what had they done? They used fire. And it was gone. He said, "Where is this? There is nothing here." The Sādhujī came and told him, "Please, do not come with what is called. You think it will stand here because this iron..." And it had killed it. Like this, in our ashram here, a tree fell down. It was in front of us. Why was this tree broken? Only because people cut something, a little bit, and they were sitting on it. From that, it broke. And it will be on the other side also. And now we know how it will be still. So please give him, tell him, please, we will be, we are your friend. And we will not do anything with you. We will not bother you anymore, we will not do anything to you anymore. This is how it was. Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, was telling this story very nicely. And even Holy Gurujī was here. And Holy Gurujī said then, "This is standing only as an eklav." And then Holy Gurujī said, "It is very nice, beautiful there, but someone has pulled something in, round and round there, and they put something inside, and that broke it." I have seen that here, and so we were speaking about Mahāprabhujī, that this was gone. What we did, we took everything nice, and put all into this, and we will give them good. We will not break them. For a few years it was like this, and they put it on like this. And then it came in there, and then he was dead. If we had not put something round, otherwise that would not fire. So here inside now we have done, and he is doing very nicely here. What is very nice here? Everything. He made it very nice now, and it will be very good. So, is that it? They are doing themselves. Only that we can give the water or something in this way. So, when we come here to this place, we are so happy. We are all looking. I am always on one of these, I am touching. It means, "My God protects, protects, protects." We think that we thought this, and we put other, so we tried very much. For two years already we tried here very much, and we all tried very much. We were pregnant, so that is gone. And so is that human. O human, you are very good. Very, very good. You are a human, very nice. You are God. Because we know very well, and we will not kill them. But what we are doing, what we are killing—animals and many other things, and good fruits, very things—they will make something else inside, and then it will go down. So, we have all—today you are here, you know how many days you were here, how was your air, everything, and whose people are speaking while they are making bhajans. And this all is that. So this is our Bhojaka, Vāsanajī. And Vasanjī has done many, many good things. It is very, very much. And so everybody has good rooms, many, many of everything. So we are here. So now we are sitting. How? And now the other, this. Here and so. Inhale left side. Close left side. And exhale out. Inhale, exhale. Inhale from right, exhale left. Inhale left, exhale left. Inhale left, inhale left... go ahead, yes. Lift round to left. And place your hands down. From the right. Z pravá. To the left. Na levo. Line. Inhale, left. And then again, inhale left. Inhale from right and go, place your hands. Inhale, exhale nicely. It’s coming from both sides. Beautiful, straight, straight standing. Pravou rukou. Nádech levou. Nádech pravou. Exhale from the left, it is one, one, two, three, and so it will be twenty.
