Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Good evening to everybody. Good morning and good evening to all our brothers and sisters around the world—those who have morning and those who have evening, good evening. Nāḍī Yoga was our subject for the last five days. Nāḍī Yoga is that kind of yoga which is the stage before your samādhi, nirvikalpa samādhi or nirvija samādhi. Kevalī avasthā. Nirvikalpa means there is no regulation, there is no wish, no saṅkalpa, no desires, no saṅkalpa vikalpa—nirvikalpa. Or Nirbīja. Bīja means the seed, where there is no seed of the karma, no seed of your desires and wishes. It is the state where knowledge, knower, and object begin to merge into oneness. Kevalya Avasthā. Kevalya means only one, and that means the super consciousness. Nāda Yoga: Nāda is not only the words which are spoken, not only that which we can hear through our physical ears, but more fine than that. It is that Nāda, it is that sound which can lead us to our final destination. Yoga was not designed only for your physical health, to stretch your body, build your muscles, make sorrows about your figures, eat, and sleep; that’s all. Yoga was not designed for that. That is not yoga. Yoga, the word itself, means union. The entire wisdom of the whole universe is put into one word only; that’s called Veda. Similarly, harmony, balance, union, oneness—all this is put into one word; that’s called Yoga. Where there is yoga, there is only one day. And where there is no yoga, there are disturbances, duality, and so on. When God Kṛṣṇa went away from this world, then his disciples, the Gopī and Gopīs, remained. Uddhava was a great friend of Kṛṣṇa and a devotee of Kṛṣṇa. So Gopī is saying, and Gopī is saying to Uddhava, a very beautiful bhajan, or song, or a poem, it is saying with a very classical rāga. When you hear that, not only does your heart melt, but you melt completely into the oneness. That’s an ādhā, that’s a śabda, that’s a jñāna, that’s a wisdom, that’s it. And there, while suffering, whenever a dear one dies, of course we are unhappy. True? Whenever a dear one dies, they are not here anymore. We love that one, but now we don’t know what to do. So the gopīs are saying, "Hai Uddhav, hame batādo, yog se kyā vyog kam hai? Hai Uddhav, hame batādo, yog se kyā vyog kam hai?" O Uddhavjī, tell us please, what is the difference between Yoga and Vyoga? Yoga means oneness, coming together. Vyoga means separation. When you merge into oneness, you are alone. And when you are separated, you are alone, no? The yogīs who practice yoga renounce everything, and they go to the forest, have a small hut, and meditate there. Alone. No relation. Nothing. Only prayer, God, meditation, mantra, that’s all. Their huts are in the forest, in a lonely place. Because they feel one with God. But, my dear Uddhavjī, Viyogī, who has a separation, who remains alone, his beloved is living in his heart. Alone, oneness in the heart, that feeling, that love. So yoga was designed for that. Not that you earn your money, bread, and butter, and make it exercises, and that’s all. That’s good. Better than nothing. But yoga is something. Often I say, if you understand what yoga is, you need not practice yoga. Only understanding, but we don’t have that. Because when you understand what yoga is, you become yogamāyā, yourself. You become yourself as a yogī. That’s all. But there are confusions, there are misunderstandings, there are conflicts. And this conflict, misunderstandings, and doubts made even the goddess confused and suffering. This morning I told you a story about what? Do you remember? The story of Śukadeva is beautiful, but I remember what happened or what happens when you have a doubt. I told the story a little bit about God Rāma some days ago, and from Tulsīdās again I repeated one poem. What was that? Forgotten. Answer, my friend, blowing in the wind. I speak, you listen, then it’s gone. We are... Okay, Rāgukula Rīta Sadācāra Āī Prāṇa Jaya Para Baccanāra Jaya. This morning I told you, and you forgot, you see. That’s your memory, my dear. How many percentage should I give you now? That’s why Vedavyāsa wrote down the Vedas—memory is lost. We remember what we like, mostly good things to eat, that’s all. Or we remember money, God. Kalyuga Rupīyo Rām Hai, in Kalyuga, money is God. We remember only two things: money and eating. The rest is Hari Om. You love someone very good, very much, but after some years, Hari Om, bye bye. Yeh duniya matlab kī hai, yār, yeh duniya matlab kī hai, yār. This world, these people are only selfish. You squeeze the lemon as long as the last drop comes. You went to the market, you took the money with you. You sowed beautiful lemons, you bought the lemons. Carefully brought it home, you cleaned the lemons. You gave the money for that. You squeeze it out, selfishly, as long as there was juice. Then, in garbage. As long as you have a selfish love, he or she is your darling, and after some time, Hari Om, under the earth. Hari Om Tat Sat, Baki Sap Gap Sap, Hari Om. Put earth on it in the graveyard. Or, before, some try to put it before. God Rāma, we told the story about Sītā, and so on. He was in Sri Lanka, again the battlefield was there, and God Rāma got the arrow. Ravana shot the arrow, and the name of that arrow is called Nāga Pāśa. At that time, weapons had no power. Power was in their siddhis and their people’s meditation. It’s called Śabda Bhan, Śabda Bhan. Śabda bhan means you can, where the sound is coming from, any animals or humans. Siddha Siddhā... He begins to squeeze and lets the poison out of the whole body, and God Rāma became blue like Śiva. Rāma falls on the ground, lying completely wrapped by the snake. Lakṣmaṇa couldn’t do anything with his arrow. Hanumānjī couldn’t do anything. No one could free him from this. And slowly, slowly, the poison entering in the body, that’s called God’s Līlā, the miracle. He wants to tell us what can happen. And when something happens, it’s not only for one reason. There are hundreds of reasons. When God incarnates, He doesn’t incarnate for one thing. All were standing there, Hanumānjī and all this. What to do? What to do? Jamvat, the bear. The bear? That bear was a wise one. He said, "My brother, dear Hanumanjī, we have only one chance." Search who is the enemy for whom. Who is the enemy of the snake? And said, "The enemy of the snake is the eagle, Garuḍa." The eagle can kill this animal or snake; no one else can. Garuda is the chariot of Rāma, Viṣṇu, God Viṣṇu. Shiva has a Nandi, and Vishnu has Garuḍa. You know that in Indonesia there was God Rāma long time, Sumitrā, Bālī, islands, all on the Rāmāyaṇa stories. And the aeroplane name is also Garuḍa. Garuda is the vāhana, the chariot of God Viṣṇu. Hanumanjī said, "Where is Garuḍa?" Where is he? I will go and bring him. Why didn’t he come? They said he is on holiday. How long? As long as Rāma will be on this planet, God Viṣṇu incarnated, and all Garuḍa go on holidays. Where is he? He will be somewhere in Brahma Loka and Swarga Loka. Hanumanjī said, "No problem." I will bring him as soon as possible. Hanumanjī had many siddhis. He was a perfect bhakta. He said, "Oh." Jai Śrī Rām, and he flies. He found Hanumān Garuḍa somewhere in the Himalayas, sitting in the cold under the ice, on the snow, on great chairs or what you call them, meditating on God Rāma, Viṣṇu. Hanumanjī came and said, "What are you doing here?" My brother Hanumānjī, what can I do? Don’t ask me anything, come follow me. Why? Because God is in trouble. God in trouble? This is the first time I have heard that. My Lord in trouble? Impossible. And if he is in trouble, do you think I can help him? Hanumanjī said, "No philosophy. Come, follow me. Every second is precious." So Hanumanjī and Garuḍa flew, they came. Garuda came with folded hands and saw Rāma lying on the ground, unconscious and blue, with a snake coiled around his body. Garuda wanted to make praṇām. Hanumānjī said, "No time, no praṇām, no discussions. Go ahead, free him from the snake." Hanumānjī did it quickly. So Garuḍa killed that snake. Rāma inhaled and exhaled, and he looked at Garuḍa. Rāma smiled and said, "You can go." All were very happy. Garuda was very happy. After going a little distance, the doubt came, and ego came out. Is he really Viṣṇu? Is he really God? And if so, why does he need my help? It means I am greater than him. Doubt came, my dear. A minor crack one day will become the major factor in breaking the building or anything. Little doubt, and what happened? Garuḍa lost love, devotion, lost. It’s something he never had. Now he cannot meditate, he cannot relax. He goes to the people, one to another, and talks. His doubt, they said, is not like this. He said it is like that. He was unconscious. I had to go to free him. I cannot pray to him anymore, but I am unhappy. I am so unhappy that I want to hang myself, to die. Because I loved him very much, I love him, but love is lost. Love lost, trust lost, everything is lost. Guru and disciple have unity through that trust. And when the disciple loses this, he is lonely and lost in the universe again. Who came to the Garuḍa finally? Nārada. Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. No? Nārada. Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa Prabhu. You look a little bit nervous and disappointed, worried about this. Garuda said, "Yes, I am ill. What happened?" And he told this story. Please, Garuḍa, Nārada, can you help me to build up my confidence again? You are that great sage who has free entry anytime in all the three worlds. Nārada said, "Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. This is an incurable disease." What? Incurable? I will have to suffer like this forever? I didn’t say this. Go to Brahma, and he will cure your disease. Garuda is very tired, exhausted, like he has depression. He went to Brahma. Brahma said, "Yes, Garuda, how is God, Viṣṇu?" He said, "I don’t know." Brahmājī said, "I am surprised to hear from your mouth that you don’t know how your beloved is." He said, "I am depressed and confused." I came to you for your help. I seek your help. Brahma said, unfortunately, this disease is so big. I can’t cure this. It’s not in my power. Brahma, the creator, you said this. He said, "Unfortunately, yes." But I am sure Lord Śiva, go to the Kailāśa mountain. Lord Śiva will help you. He is the Lord of lords, and he will help. If you want, then go. Garuda goes to Lord Śiva, and before saying anything, Śiva knew. Śiva said, "Garuda, I know the cause of your disease, but my dear, I am not capable of helping you." Garuda said, "You, Lord of the universe, Shiva?" If you want, you can do everything. He said, "Yes, but this, I cannot help you." Gurujī said, "Lord, is there anywhere in this universe a hope for me that I find again my love in my heart for God?" He said, "Yes, there is. Go to the Himalayas." There is a great saint in the form of a crow, preaching and giving satsaṅg. A crow is giving satsaṅg. And all goddesses and gods, and even I, go there to his satsaṅg. He can help you. And, you know, his tappa, his name of Kāg Bosandī, his tappa, his spiritual power is so strong that several kilometers away, when you enter that area where he is living, because he asks, "How will I find it?" there immediately your disease begins to disappear. Like you have no oxygen, and you open one window, and oxygen comes. He went to search for Kagbhusaṇḍi. Pārvatī was angry. You didn’t see Parvati yet, no? Powerful, great. Parvati was angry and said, "My Lord, sorry to say, but..." Shiva said, "Yes, dear, what means ’but’? From where did ’but’ come?" She said, "Lord, I don’t understand you." He said, "That’s my problem always." Śrī Śrī... Remove your doubts and all weakness, and give you again that knowledge. Second, he has such a big ego. He is full of ego now. He thinks he is great. Then, Viṣṇu. So, the eagle is the king of the birds. And do you think this king will go and surrender to the crow? Did you ever see the eagle sitting like this in front of the crow, and the crow makes a peck on his head? No. So, today I want that ego to surrender to the crow, that ego should surrender. Before he does not surrender the ego, these doubts, the disease cannot be cured, and in satsaṅg, there he will see many, many saints sitting there and listening to the preaching. Of the Kagavushandi, she said, "Lord, I am sorry." Shiva said, "I know. At the end, you are always sorry. That’s why I am not angry." Garuda even can’t pronounce the name of God, but when he came near where Kaghbhushandi was, about 50 kilometers distance, and suddenly from his mouth, the name came: Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa; Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa Nārāyaṇa Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa Nārāyaṇa Nārāyaṇa Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa Deep Nārāyaṇ Nārāyaṇ Nārāyaṇa, Deep Nārāyaṇ Nārāyaṇ Nārāyaṇa... Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Before reaching Kāga Bhūṣaṇḍī, Gurujī got in his heart that love, devotion, my God, Viṣṇu, my Lord Rāma. And he sees from afar, Gurujī is sitting there, or Kāga Bhushanḍī is sitting in satsaṅg, and all, like we are here sitting, you all, like all goddesses and gods and all divine beings sitting there and listening to the words of Kāga Bhushanḍī. Satsaṅg, therefore Holy Gurujī said often, "Satsaṅg hī bhava sindhu tīrne kī lie jahāj hai." Satsaṅg is a boat to cross this ocean, this worldly ocean. Those who cannot go to the satsaṅg, day by day you will lose your devotion, and again you are lost. So, yoga is designed to get that divine consciousness at any price. And you have to remain strict, very strict to yourself. Holy Gurujī said, "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Mahātmā Gandhījī said, "Renounce and enjoy." Jesus said, "Thou shalt not carry." You know many of you about Jesus’ life. How hard his life was. One day, sitting alone and crying, screaming, "Father, why just me?" I don’t want anymore. I can’t go through. The voice came, "Know, my son, I trust in thee, and for the sake of that trust, I love you. And this is that love that you have to go through the suffering." When you love someone, pain’s problem is just nothing. If you don’t love and doubt, you are lost and out, without any doubt, forever. Therefore, we always pray to God to give us devotion, confidence, belief, and love for all creatures in this world. Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, my Lord, all should be happy. No one should suffer any pain. No one should be hungry. And me too. Help, Lord. Ye jīvana eka svapna hai. This morning I told you the story of King Janaka. This life is a dream. This life is like morning dew on the grass. As soon as the sun rises, it will disappear, these drops of water. We are the drop only, śaṇa bhaṅgur. Śaṇa bhaṅgur means just for some minutes, that’s all. Therefore, it is said. Avasara Jāve Guru Samajāve Avasara jāve dhan, daulat, aur māl khajānā, ye sab yahīṁ jāve, anya tulat aur mahal karatā Mahāprabhujī karatā hai kevalam...
