Remain pure

A great tree endures storms and provides shelter without complaint, teaching us about strength and purity in a troubled age. This time is very hard, marked by killing and eating animals, which creates many problems. People have brought their ways to new places, and now those ways return, making things bad. We must be very strong, like a tree. Our strength comes from purity in family life, where mother cares for child and husband, and husband provides everything to his wife. But now there are often problems between husband and wife. We are like a single drop of water or a spark of fire in this world; our role is small but must be pure. After the fighting, the pure will go to God. You should be your wife, your husband, your father, your mother—make it all soft. Sit and relax, taking in the power from the trees and the air.

"There’s a thousand storms and a fury of rain. It suffers us, yet does not complain."

"To those who hurt stones with feet, yields fruit with no touch of remorse."

Hari Om. Om. Śāntiḥ. Śāntiḥ. It is a very hot day. Someone told me today would be very hot. I was speaking to someone about it, and they said, "Don’t worry, it will be beautiful and very good. It’s not hot, not like this." These trees are very great. I do not know for how many years this one has been here. Could you tell me how old that tree is? How many years does it have? A hundred? Very much, no? We are like children here. And they tell us whether it is warm, or cold, or very beautiful. They give nice air, which has given me much to think about. We were speaking about God, Śiva, Bhagavān Śiva, and how He came here, making everything very nice. But here, it is all again like with humans. But they are not good. They will kill everything. So, how is that time? Bhagavān Śiva was sitting there, and many, many rākṣasas were coming. Bhagavān Śiva said, "Better? Come, come." It will be very powerful, heavy, and everything will keep going like this. But Bhagavān said, "You are mine, I will rock you." Others are also pure, good, and like this. So, I think in this time, it will be very big, very much, but we will... and we will... but it will be very hard. So it is like this. Do you understand? In India, Indian people, you see, Indians have brought everything to these countries. It would be very good that they have done this, good. They did everything very well. But there is inside, one. They said, and they are eating, so it means they are getting this, like in us; they are not here. Now they are coming to India, and they are having meat and this. So it is being very bad now. They will give money to everybody. So you can do whatever you want, but there are the best people. They are as far as it is a god. So I tell you, you should be very strong. How you get your children is very, very good. But if you have not done, and it was a little bigger, more, then your children will not stand. You know this, the last child? And how many little, little children came. They are so beautiful and very happy, because they are like us, like me. Because the children like me, and they came also, and they came to your mother, father. So this is like this; we have to be very, very strong. From every country, people from every country, we will fight, and we will remain. Many times in the night, they told me, "Drink some water, please, water, water." No, so then someone told me, "No, no, drink water, water, water." And they are drinking some dip. Let me drink, so you can drink. It’s also not good, but it is water. So three, four times I have to stand out in the toilet and go. So I said, "From where comes this water?" And they said, "You have no water." Yesterday they told me. But it’s good. Water is water. Good. But I was looking and seeing everything, and I was going two, three times in the night. But I am thinking, I know what is happening. So when I’m in the night, I know what’s happening. But it’s okay, very good, all of us. That we should not just sleep the whole night. Let me be very clear about what good can happen. So it has come with the killing of the animals and eating them. And do you know how many problems there are among people now? Even in the Gaṇḍa, they all take it and eat everything now. So it will be for all, and we also, if we eat different things. And so it is said, it will be, it will be fighting. But after all this, we will come very pure, and we will go to God, and others will go down. So it is yourself, and your children, your friends, and this. If you can do, we will do. Pure, look at the sky. In the sky, completely pure beauty. And there we are. And when it is little, little, then it is good. But it is again pouting. So there are both things. But it is given on the birthday, look, that’s it. When I talked many times, when I was sitting, and I opened my eyes, and I said, "Please, in my hand, my eyes, and this is for me, so may not think killing and nothing." I am. I am human. And then, after this, we step onto the strength. Or it is a mother. Mother gives me, we all say. Now it is between two, with mother and husband and child. Now, it is how to do it. And when we do like this, very good, the wife, mother, and father. Mother is great, very good, and father, we. But now, between this, it can be a problem. The father will be, how he will do, or how he will not. And mother, you know what mother is doing? Going to the toilet and cleaning, just like this. That is mother. Mother said, "This is my hand, the child." Father is also very good. But mostly, the father said to his mother, "Yes, so cleaning, like this, everything, this." And father and mother, they are very good, and they can do everything. And then the child will be very good. And there is someone who says, "I don’t want to be with you. I’m going. You can stay here, or this." And now, how many times do they say that they go out, make other women? This goes again, and like this. In this time now, but it is a boon for the father, it’s very good, and it’s like a mother. But sometimes, what happens, the father is doing very good and everything, and bringing something. And after one month or a little bit, he gives the child to his mother. And she gives to her husband, "Go there, come on, shoot it." Oh my God. So it can be like the other side. So, mother, mother is for two, but the mother should take care of both of them, both the child and the husband. Yes, so that we will be healthy. And when he does nothing, then the mother and the child are fighting. In the same way, what we call, we will come to this space. So you always think of my body. And my body, you know, very much more than you. But how are we thinking of my body? When that is in the water, first say, "I am human." I am with the water, or on the earth, and I am one drop only. I am this one drop in my hand, on the earth, or many, many waters there. So, we are, and I am only on my hand, and this one drop—where will it go? My drop, what will it do? Will it fall down? Will it go like that? Will it go up? It will do no good. In this, both earth and home, and we are in the middle. So, how are we now? This one drop, like this. Like we said, fire. And a little fire is on our palm. Oh, good, good,... good. That is that. But when this comes very, like this, one drop comes in the palm. It’s in the whole body. Like a fire, if it is a fire, then, oops, burning. Just a spark of fire, and you feel the fire. And so, to have a better past, we have to have our mantra. And you know, this earth, and this on the earth, we are sitting on it. This grass is breaking, going out, this and that. We are sitting on it, and this doesn’t say anything. Yes, and they put it on, and in it, we leave it off. But still, grass doesn’t tell us, "Please don’t take this, go out." And there it is, this one tree. It is all trees in everything. The big and strong, or the little one. This is also, they said, they are giving so many people. It was working there, and in India we have many other people, the others, and they don’t walk on the grain. And you know that in India, there is a group of Jains who don’t even step on the grass; they don’t want to step on anything alive. And they only go barefoot to make sure they don’t step on anything. We are not with our shoes; they are not going. And when the sun goes out, they don’t go anywhere. And when the sun comes, or at that time, then they are going. So I will tell you next time if this is what it is. And even there are people, there are some still, who wear no cloth, nothing, and they walk like this. So, how many things are coming, and what is that? That is, it will go into that world. So you should be your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, etc., like this. Make this all very soft. The wife should stay and see the child, and the husband is doing so many things. Put the child sleeping, then they are working. They make chips, everything: roti, sabdī. And husband comes, he brings your cloth, nice. Yes, and it is like this, but now not anymore for many people. Otherwise, there are mostly very, very few people that, when men go on working, they go to work. And in the evening, he came. He got the money. And what did he tell his husband? He doesn’t give in his box. He will give everything to his wife. All money God gives to her husband. And good cloth, and this sea bride brings her, and she is so good. She is cleaning nicely and works on every kind of thing. So, the husband is working and everything is given to his wife. And what does she do? She does very well. She will go, bring days, she has money with him. And she is a woman; she makes nice clothes, nice good things. She said that I have many things with my husband, some clothes and this, this, and like this. And then he brings his husband, so beautiful, this and that. And it is his wife who makes everything very good, and this and that. But money, she puts here on this side, you know? Here. The husband tells something, he’s only looking that the money is with her. But she said, "Give more to the nice, beautiful clan, everything." So this is the burnt family, that’s like this, and then it will go up. But now, how is the woman, and who is the man? How is he? And then in the evening, they are coming home, they are speaking very nice and good, yes, and not eating like this. Then you see, we have many: your husband and your wife and your children. All this is the bit that will go to God. And you know many things, that also many birds, they are, and they are going, but when the bird is one, then there is one bird more. Only they are together. Yes, this is one word. They will not go run with on this, and then us like this and like this. So we should try. And so we should try to do it. Because there is something happening already. Husband doesn’t want like this, like this. Why are you going to yogīs or satsaṅg and this? Or the husband will come along, but his wife will tell something. So, these are always problems. That’s it. And so, now you all know what you should do, I think, and we will go further in a good way. Yeah. I will go to India again then. I will speak many things, but it is gone. Everything is there. So I told many to him, "You will come to India, and you will again come like you." Husband and wife, they will be good there. Yes, something. So when he was married and she’s married, and then he said he wants to be a swami. Then she said, "Why? Then I should also be like you. You will have this dress, and you are married now." And then she said, "No, then I will go somewhere as the husband." Yeah, but she did not at all. She was a very great one. She said, "If you are like this, I will go with you." Yes, it is how it is. Very good. Otherwise, he can come away. She is sitting, and good and good, and he’s gone. That’s not good. So they are both, as it is, very good. Yes, that is like this. Yeah. Siddhī Pānara and Bhagavad Gītā. Hari Om. Would you like to say something? It is not long. No, really pure and good, anything you can tell us, or you cannot do, or something. Yes. So we are sitting here in this place. And you know where we are sitting? It is like a God’s. You see, you take the breath like this; a husband gives to a woman. Everything, and there is something not good, so she is making out good insight from him, and beautiful insight. And what comes in the body? Everything. And in that, we are inside, 20 times. 20 times. These trees and all on the palms, everything is taking in and giving again, as it is very good and beautiful. So, just sit as you like. Relax, anything. But now, look in this. Yes, really, what is this very power, this very much power of all energies, of everything. Wherever we see, that is that. Now, the mālā, with the mālā, but see, all beautiful souls, it is coming, the air, it’s coming, all the trees, beautiful oṁ, and nice bhajan. And we are taking in our body with the Mālā. Very beautiful bhajan from Mīrābāī about the tree. Śrī Dīpna Rāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Mīrābāī Jī Kī Jai. The top, the way of the tree, And from the cares of the world become free, And from the cares of the world become free. Who come to cut it, it does not help. No, who come to wear it again. To those who hurt stones with feet, yields fruit with no touch of remorse. Of the ways of the tree, from the cares of the world, becomes the trees of the tree. There’s a thousand storms and a fury of rain. It suffers us, yet does not complain. It suffers all, yet does not complain. This winter’s frozen, this summer’s here, to provide to your birds a safe retreat. This is the result, become this of the tree. Sit down, listen, stay, take it on. For salvation, you truly find. Śrī Mīrā Bāī Jī Kī Jai. Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai Śrī Svāmī Śivānanda Jī Gurudeva Kī Jaya.
