Bhajan evening in the Strilky Ashram

Awaken from the slumber of ignorance. Time is slipping away after countless sorrowful lifetimes. The human birth is a priceless diamond, not easily attained again. One wanders through existences trapped in illusion without the True Guru. Take refuge in the True Guru to shatter illusions and fulfill this birth. Search for the Ātman within, for the divine resides in the heart. This world is false, a cage of karma and qualities where the soul suffers. One is bound by the "I" and attachment, yet is of the nature of immortal bliss. Through the Guru, one unites with Truth and ends the cycles of birth.

"Search for the Ātman within the human body. Rāma is found within, brother, awaken."

"This world is false. The True Guru explains the truth, but the fool disbelieves."

It is about a bird which is closed in one cave. And he has very much pain, and he is crying. And there is a song in this song: nobody can understand your pain. And for me, it is a little bit symbolic, like for the soul, which is still closed in karmas and qualities and ignorance. Ignorance? Ignorance, yes. And for me, it is a symbol of a soul that suffers because it is trapped in these karmas and unconsciousness. Well, but we have good, we are here. But we are good because we are here, and we have our mantra. But still, we are not free. But still, we are not free. So maybe sometimes this bhajan resonates with some state of mind which we are sometimes going through. That it is about great, great, great pain, but I think that pain is part of life. And I think that as much pain you can feel, that much joy you can once enjoy. And one day we will be in Ānanda, in Sat Chit Ānanda. Maybe we can sing once together, "Om Sat Chit Ānanda," because I think I made you all sad. About one bird, and that one, someone had taken him and put it in a cage, and he’s looking at others. They think that I am good. And very, very, very happy. But he’s sinking. You know that I am inside. And my life is not there. Many people come, they look at him, how nice is one, someone turns into something, but he’s very hard. This is like, so that we should not take some animal and not take it inside. Let them be free. That is very nice. So it is very, very hard. And his life is long. They give him something, and this. But it is in the case. So there is one, so the bhajan told. So in that, the person who told it said already how much pain, very much pain. That was it, yeah. So we should let him open and let him out. But how will I do it? So, like this, all we are sitting, so you should also think. What is the problem with me? We are also in the cage, which is that "I am." Everywhere, my guṇa, other, this, everywhere I am going, I am in India, you are in America, everywhere you are. But everywhere. How many people is that? That is really very, very nice and relaxed. But what are we doing? Money, money, and many, many things. But it is inside, my God, what will happen? How can they do my, oh my God, this bird, the bird, and this bird sitting there on this cane, in the case. And he’d come out, but he’s standing in the tree. And he said, "Where I will be, how God has given me there." So you have given me a very open. Thank you very much, my friend. But where can I go? I will fly. I fly very, very far. And I see if there is someone, my friend, that I can come here with him, and I can eat well and relax well. Everything. Oh, my bird. How I did like this. So this is like this, bhajan like this. Do you understand? Another bhajan. So, you know that we are people, we are many, many people now. They leave these birds or anything, give them free. We know we have like this, even it’s so big also here, but it is not that. We think he is good, and we give them this and that. But it is not that, and so we are like that bird. And where we go, we always go home with your wife, your husband, your children, and so on. What is there inside? So let us come, it is the day, Bhajan. Bhajan is the best. He has done it for us, you see, our world, and he brought it inside, and it’s free, so they come in, sit, eat, and fly. So he made this, like, very nice. Thank you very much, Vasant. Yes. One bhajan that... it’s not really about the bird, but I was trying to find one that will at least somehow have a similar topic. So this is not really a bhajan about birds, but I tried to find one that will have at least a similar theme. Ghanadina Bhaṭakire Me… Here Mahāprabhujī speaks as a young girl, he says. Mahāprabhujī in this bhajan speaks as a young girl, as if he would be this girl locked in a cage for a very long time. And for many lives, she is searching for her beloved husband. And she says, "I was without my beloved one, but everyone called me married already." And without, I was living in this way without any shame in my heart. How I was surprised that it wasn’t my beloved. And so many senseless karmas because of this I have collected over the lives. This human body I have got in the dream, and like a deer, I was running here and there in the forest. And I have lost this human life many times, and for many kalpas, I was searching for a wrong husband. I was like a small child who just can’t walk yet. And so I was living like this, but I could not find my avatār, my beloved Brahmagyānī. And then I have found, Mahāprabhujī says, my beloved Śrī Devapurījī, and I have dissolved in him. With one look to the divine form, I have got my beloved husband who is immortal and unborn. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai.
