Maha Kumbh Mela 5

A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela experience and the essence of the Guru.

"Keep your conscience, your intellect, and your devotion pure. Do not fall into doubts. Do not fall into complexes."

"The Kumbh Melā is not a religious festival; it is a spiritual festival. And it is for every human being."

The speaker addresses the assembly, congratulating those who attended the Kumbh Mela. He emphasizes the paramount importance of realizing the 'Guru Tattva'—the principle of the master—and maintaining purity of mind and devotion, warning against negative traits. He describes the festival as a universal spiritual gathering and shares observations on the mutual respect between Indians and foreign disciples.

It was divine. I congratulate those who were there. Keep your conscience, your intellect, and your devotion pure. Do not fall into doubts. Do not fall into complexes. Do not fall into jealousy, greed, and offense, and so on. Otherwise, it is like this: the black crow—you can wash it with the best shampoo, it will still always be black. So realize the Guru Tattva. Realize the divinity. Understand what a master is. If you wear the Kumbh Melā and still you do not understand what the Gurū or master is, then you are that black crow. If you were at the Kumbh Melā and you still do not understand what the Gurū or master is, then you are the black sheep. The Kumbh Melā is not a religious festival; it is a spiritual festival. And it is for every human being. It does not matter from which culture, religion, or nation. And I must tell you that all Indians, the millions of Indians, were respecting and admiring all our foreign disciples very much. I can also tell you that all the Indians admired our foreign teachings very much. So it was divine. To be there among these millions of spiritual people is a completely different feeling. It is indescribable. Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Weekend seminar
