Remain pure

Spiritual purity is essential in family life. Trees give pure air, revealing God’s creation. Killing and eating animals brings impurity and trouble. Indians abroad brought culture, but meat-eating now corrupts it. You must be strong and raise children with care. Children not raised well will not stand firm when problems grow. Fighting will come, yet endurance leads to purity and God. Others will fall. Concern yourself, your children, your friends. Look at the sky—pure beauty; even clouds depend on perception. Keep the mind detached from the body. A drop of water on the palm spreads through the body with mantra. Be pure and vibrant with everyone. Earth and grass endure without complaint; learn from them. In family, husband gives all earnings to wife; she manages home and uplifts him. If spiritual calling arises, husband and wife should go together.

“But if you have not done so, and if the problem grows a little bigger, then your children will not stand firm.”

“There will be fighting. But after all of this, we will become very pure, and we will go to God, while others will go down.”

Hari Om, Om, Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. It is a very good day. Someone told me today would be very hot, but then they said, “Don’t worry, it will be beautiful and very pleasant.” It is not hot, not like that. These trees are very great. I don’t know how old this tree is—I cannot tell. They tell us whether it is warm or cold, yet they give such beautiful, pure air. I have been thinking deeply: when we speak of God, Śiva, Bhagavān Śiva, how He came here and made everything very nice. But it is all there again, as within a human. Yet those who harm are not good; they will kill everything. So how is that time? And Bhagavān Śiva said, as He was sitting there, many, many rākṣasas were coming. So Bhagavān Śiva said, “Beta, come, come.” It will be very powerful and heavy, and everything will be tossed about. But Bhagavān said, “You are mine; may I be like you.” And others, they too are pure, good, and like this. So I think, in this time, it will be very great, yes, very much so. But we will endure, we will persevere, though it will be very hard. So it is like this—you have understood. All the Indians, and these Indians abroad, they have brought everything to these countries. It would be very good if they have done this rightly. But they did everything very well. Yet inside, there is one thing: they are eating meat. It means they are taking this—like, in our own selves, they are not here. Now they are coming to India, and they are taking meat and such things. So it is very bad now. They will give money to everybody. So what can you do? What are you? But there are the best people; they are like the father, who is God. So I tell you, you should be very strong. And the way you raise your children—that is very, very good. But if you have not done so, and if the problem grows a little bigger, then your children will not stand firm. You know this? Last year, right? And how many little, little children came? And they are so beautiful and very happy—like we are, like me, because the children like me. And they came, and they come to your mother and father. So this is how it is. We have to be very, very strong. People from every country, we will be fighting. And we will remain. Many times in the night, well, they told me, “Drink water, please, water, water.” No, someone told me not to, but they were drinking something else. Let me drink, so I can drink. It is not good, but it is water. So three or four times I have to get up to go to the toilet. I said, “Where does this water come from?” And they replied, “Oh, you have no water? You told me yesterday.” But it is good. Water is water, good. Still, I was observing everything, and I had to go two or three times in the night. But I am thinking, I know what is happening. So when I am awake at night, I know what is happening. But it is okay, very good; we do not just sleep the whole night. Let me be very clear about what can happen. So this has come about with the killing of animals and eating them. And you know that many problems are now with people, even the Gaṇḍā? They all take it and eat everything now. So it will be for all, and we too, if we eat different things. And so it is said, “There will be fighting.” But after all of this, we will become very pure, and we will go to God, while others will go down. So it concerns yourself, your children, your friends. If you can do it, we will do it. Look at the sky—completely pure beauty—and there we are. And when it becomes a little cloudy, then it is good to hear, but again there is pouting. So there are both things; it depends on how you look at it. Many times, when I was sitting, I opened my eyes and said, “Please, in my hand, my eyes—and this is for me, so may there be no killing and nothing.” I am human. And then after this, we step onto the stand. Or it is a mother. “Mother, mother, give me,” we all say. Now it is between two: mother and husband and child. Now, how to manage it? And when we do it like this, it is very good: wife, mother, and father. Mother is great, very good, and father is too. But now, between these, there can be a problem. The father will act as he does or does not. And mother—do you know what mother is doing? Going to the toilet and cleaning plants—like that. That is the mother. The mother said, “It is my hand, the child.” Father is also very good, but mostly. Yes, cleaning and all such things. And father and mother, they are very good. How many times do they go out, making other women? This happens again and again. In these times, it is a burden for the father; he is very good, and he is like a mother. But sometimes, what happens? The father is doing very well, bringing something. And after a month or so, he gives the child to his mother. And she gives to her husband, “Husband, go there. Come on, sit with—oh, my God!” So it can be on the other side. So, mother is for two: a child and a husband. They are two. In the same way, we will come to this space. So always keep your mind off your body. My body, you know, is much more than yours. I am with the water, or on the earth, and I am just one drop only; I am this one drop in my palm—on the earth, or amidst many, many waters. So we are, and I am only on my hand, and this one drop—what will become of it? Where will my drop go? What will it do? It will fall down, it will go like that. It will go up, it will do no good. In this boat—earth and Om—we are in the middle. So how are we now? This one drop, like we said, fire: a little fire on our palm. Oh good, good... That is that, but when this one drop comes into the palm, it spreads throughout the whole body. Like fire—if it is a fire, then oops, burning. But among all these, we should have our mantra. And how are we doing? Our children, our husband, our wife, our dog—all of them. Most of all, we should be very pure and vibrant all the time with everybody, very happy and very good. And you know this earth; we are sitting on it. This grass gets broken, trampled, this and that. We sit on it, and it says nothing—no “please, don’t.” And people place things on it, and on it—believe it or not, but it doesn’t complain. Still, the grass does not tell us, “Please don’t take this, go away.” And that is like this one tree. It is all trees in everything—big and strong, or little ones. This too: they say, they are giving to so many people. It was working there, and in India we have many other people, the others, and they do not walk on grain. No, only our foot like this, nothing else. We are not underneath with our shoes. They do not go. And when the sun sets, they do not go out. And when the sun rises, or at that time, then they go. So I will tell you next time; this is what it is. And even there, there are people, some still, who have no cloth, nothing, and they walk like this. So, how many things are coming, and what is that? That is that it will go into the one. So you should be—with your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, etc.—make all of this very soft. The wife should stay here and look after the child. And the husband is doing so many things, putting the child to sleep. Then they work, they make chips, everything, rotī, sabzī, and the husband comes, he brings your cloth, nice. Yes, and it used to be like this, but now, not anymore for many people. Otherwise, there are very few people who, when men go to work, go to work. And in the evening, he came. He got the money. And what about money from her husband? He doesn’t keep it in his box. He gives everything to his wife. All money and gold is given to his wife. And good cloth, and beautiful saris are brought to her. And she is so good. She cleans nicely and does every kind of work. So, the husband works and gives everything to his wife. And what did she do? She did very well. She will go and manage the days; she has money from him. And she is a woman; she makes nice clothes and good things. She said, “I have many things with my husband.” Some clothes and this and that. And then she presents her husband, so beautifully. And it is his wife who makes everything very good. But money, she keeps it aside. You know, here, the husband says something, only looking to see that the money is with her. But she said, “Give more to the nice, beautiful clan, everything.” So this is one family, and it is like this. And 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 speak very nicely and well, and not eating like this. Then you see, we have many: your husband, your wife, your children—all this is the part that will go to God. And you know many things, and also many birds: they are, and they are going, but when the bird is one, then there is another bird. Only they are together. Yes, this will be one bird. They will not go and run with this, and then us, like this and like that. So we should try, because something has already happened. The husband does not want it like this, and he asks, “Why are you going to yogīs or satsaṅg and such?” 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 thank you, and we will go further in a good way. Yes, I will go to India again then. I will speak many things, but it is gone. Everything is there. So I told him many times, “You will come to India. And you will again come as you are, husband and wife, and you will be good there.” Yes, something. So when he was married and she was married, and then he said he wanted to be a swami, 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, to another husband.” Yes, but she is not like that at all. She was a very great one. She said, “If you are like this, I will go with you.” Yes, this is how it is. Very good. Otherwise, he can come away. She is sitting, and good, and good, and he is gone—that is not good. So they are both, as it is, very good. Yes, that is how it is. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Hari Om. Would you like to say something? It need not be long, just something pure and good—anything you can tell us, or something we cannot do, yes. So we are sitting here in this place, and do you know where we are sitting? It is like God’s place, you see. You take a breath, okay? And there is something not good. So she is drawing out good insight from him—beautiful insight. Krásný dovnitř. And what comes into the body, everything. And in that, we are inside twenty times. And all on the palms, everything taking in and giving again, as it is very good. So, just sit as you like, relax, anything. But now, look into this. Really, what is this? It is the very power, the immense power of all energies, everything. It is coming—the air is coming, all the trees, a beautiful warmth, and a nice bhajan. And we are taking it into our body with the mālā. A very beautiful bhajan from Mīrābāī, about the tree. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Mīrābāī Jī Kī Jai. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Śrī Svāmī Śivānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya.
