O Bhagavān Kī Jai! Śrī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai! Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai! Satya Sanātan Dharma Kī Jai! And blessings to all of you, the blessings of our Divine Universal Worship, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Alakpurījī, and Gurujī. Also, many blessings and a good evening from Europe to all our dear brothers and sisters around the world who are with us this evening through the webcast. Yes, indeed, it was a long time, nearly half a year, we did not have the opportunity to be together with the webcast. So today is again the first time this year. Blessings are coming to you from the beautiful country of the Czech Republic and the Śrī Mahāprabhū Deep Satsaṅg Foundation, Střelky. Welcome, all of you from different parts of the world. You have a blessing of Divine Mother Gaṅgā, Holy Gaṅgā, which is flowing through the Holy Land India, from the Himalayan hills to the Gaṅgā Sāgar, the Indian Ocean. Many of you have been with me in Haridwar, bathing in the holy river Gaṅgā. I was blessed by our Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī and Gurujī, and having the opportunity to have an anuṣṭhān at the bank of Gaṅgā in Haridwar for two and a half months, I had opportunities to have a darśan of millions of sādhus—not hundreds and thousands, but millions of sādhus—and millions of devotees, spiritual seekers, practitioners of the spiritual path from different countries. They were from the whole world, millions and millions, and that is something. Before that, I also had the opportunity to stay nearly a month in the forest, a completely uncivilized forest with untouched vegetation and many different creatures in Australia, our ashram in Dengong. Time to time, the message came to you also. I had blessings to visit, for the first time, a beautiful Ireland called New Zealand, and another most beautiful called the Fiji Island. People around the world are beautiful, kind, and I had divine experiences with them. A great saint said, "I went to search for the bad people or a bad person. I didn’t find it anywhere, but when I searched within me, no one was worse than myself." We see in others what we have inside us. Our inner experiences, our inner problems, disappointment, negative qualities, anger, jealousy, and hate are within us, and we see through that mirror, the inner mirror that is reflecting outside. When you are angry, that is a picture of yourself showing you in your inner mirror. When you are jealous, that is a reflection of your inner qualities through your inner mirror. That’s why Gandhijī, Mahātmā Gandhijī, said, "Be the change you want to see." If you want to see loving people, loving hearts, then you have to become a loving person. You have to become a loving heart. If you want to see the holy person, first you have to become holy. If you would like to see good people, you have to be good. So everything is a reflection of our inner qualities. But this human life is not given to reflect such qualities. Human life is not given to have such qualities. Contrary, human life is given to be above everything. Our beloved Holy Gurujī used to say, "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." If you want to become one with God, then sacrifice everything. The material things to sacrifice are nothing; they are zero. Because nothing belongs to you. It is given to you. When you were born, you had not even one centimeter of cloth over your body. You were born completely naked, nothing and nothing and nothing. But you had a gentle touch of the hands of the nurse or a doctor nowadays, what you call. That will remind you ever and ever. And then the loving touch, the touch of the care of your mother, father, brother, sisters, friends, relatives. The first cloth was given to you by a nurse. The first one who washed you and wrapped you again in nice cloth, and a mother too. Now what I want to say, nothing you brought with. Everything was here and was given to you. What you got, good or bad, you brought with as your destiny, as your karma. Father and mother, the parents, can give you the birth. They can’t give you the destiny. They can’t give you the karmas. Everyone has a different destiny written in the book of fortune or destiny. One family, one father and mother, had four children, beautiful children, healthy children, and they got the same education, same care. One became a king, another became a saint, the third became a beggar, and the fourth became a butcher. See the destiny. So if the parents could have given or could give the destiny, then all four could become a holy saint or a king. But the two had not good destiny, a beggar and a butcher. Destiny is what you inherit from your past lives through your karma, your actions. If you are jealous and jealous and jealous, jealousy is a fire. There are many different kinds of fire, and fire means it will burn you to ash. Wood will burn, turned into coal, and coal will burn and turn into ash, and ash will be blown away by the wind. Nothing remains of you. The real fire will burn you within no time. But the fire of anger, fire of jealousy, fire of the desires, fire of greed, fire of hate will burn you lifelong. And not only this life, but also many, many lives. So what we brought with is that we will meet in the future again. But the material things, even the parents, husband and wife, children, and relatives, God has given to you. Destiny has given to you. Even your houses, your properties, your belongings, everything, including your dog and cats and little mouse, is given to you, and what is given has a limitation. You borrow it, and you have to give it back. So what is given to you, you give back, is not a renunciation. You are just giving back. Renounce what is yours. It is not yours. This body is also not yours. It is given to you, my dear. And even if you don’t want, it will be taken away. So money, material things, parents, children, friends, everything is temporary. So what is given will be taken, whether you want it or not. What came will go. What came together will separate. And which separate will come again together. Who knows? The river is flowing, and suddenly there comes an island. Water separates because between is an island or a rock, but after the island, again water will come together. So, who knows? Now, what is flowing with you? Your anger, your jealousy, negative qualities—again, you will meet them there. They are there. Hari Om. Or good quality, divine love, understanding, respect, spirituality, helping, kindness, helpfulness, generosity, you will meet again. You know, if you love all, then all will love you. How nice. You are only one. How much can one person give love? But still you give love to all. So now you are a limited person. Your love, your care is limited, but you distributed it in such a way that now, suddenly, all comes back a thousand times. When you respect a thousand people, you are only one. And now, thousands will respect you. Or you are jealous of all the thousands. Ten thousand times, jealousy will come back to you. What you give, God gives you a thousand times back. So, it must not be only the negative qualities. But you know, some used to say, "One ill fish spoils the whole pond." True? One drop of lemon spoils maybe 100 liters of milk or 1,000 liters. One drop of the lemon, so one negative quality of hate destroys your beautiful positive qualities which you gave to them before it comes to you, destroys. Giving is easier, but to receive it back as it is, is not easy, my dear. So we are giving, though we don’t expect anything, but still, deep in the subconscious we know, "I should be good, so that others will be good to me." Yes, there is that. And so, Holy Gurujī said, "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Yes, sacrifice all your negative things. Stand above and sacrifice your dear feelings, not money and this and that. Your dear feelings, your kind feelings, your human feelings, your wisdom. You have so many good qualities; you have treasure within you. No one of us is poor. We are so rich. You can’t imagine how rich you are. Money is not richness. The beauty and richness of a human is their wisdom, their knowledge. Therefore, it is said, "Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti." One is the truth that is supreme, the Brahman. When Brahman is spoken about, that is only God. And Brahman, which is nirguṇa, is the formless God everywhere. And that’s why in the Vedas and Upaniṣads, in very old scriptures, it is not described about the name of any incarnation, because God is only one. But those incarnations which were in the past, which are, and which will be, they had such qualities and blessings that what a human can imagine, what a God can do. And so we call them God or incarnation. I don’t think that incarnation of God is always very merciful and humble only. No. His incarnation is for the protection of the dharma, protection of the bhaktas, the devotees, protection of every creature, and to destroy the devils. "Arjuna, from time to time I manifest myself to protect my devotees and dharma and to destroy the negative qualities, adharma." Yadā yadāhi dharmasye glānir bhavati bhārata. You know this mantra from the Bhagavad Gītā, 14th chapter. And therefore, you will see it sometime, he is incarnating as male, and sometimes also as a female, and sometimes half human and half animal. Why? That it has a reason, many, many reasons. In that spirituality, in Brahman, there are no differences or duality of the genders, male or female. It is only the body, and the body is mortal, not immortal. Therefore, don’t think that you are female and you can’t achieve the highest consciousness or ātmā-jñāna. But you, female, have to follow this female dharma. And you, male, should follow also female dharma. No, the male dharma. Yes, what does it mean to be a human? What is human love? Do you know that? How much can you dedicate and renounce? You can’t. There were very faithful couples together, very, very nice, very, very nice. And his wife died, and they went for the funeral after five days. After the funeral, they came back. In Western culture nowadays, they go to some pub or a restaurant. Sit and drink, and everybody says, "My condolences," or so. And in that condolence, he fell in love with someone. He fell in love with some other lady, and he said, "Well, my dear friends, in five days we will have a wedding, so you are welcome." You see, still his wife is there under the earth, but it doesn’t matter, still she is there. But he forgot her. What did you renounce for your wife, boy? Or what can you renounce for your husband, girls? That in which way we now live, in this modern way, will not lead you to the ātmā-jñāna. Forget it. Sorry. Now what to do? What to do? All our hope, Swamiji put in the cold water. Everyone, maybe very few have clean hands. Those who are here under five years old, what to do? The pot is broken. Glass weighs. Or the ceramic waste falls down, broken. So what you call a broken heart, broken emotion, broken thoughts, everything is broken. Swamiji, please help us. Yes, I am here to help you, definitely. Definitely, a thousand percent. I will help you if you help me to help you. You understand me? I will help you if you help me to help you. So, remain on your spiritual path now. Don’t go left and right, go straight forward. And look forward to the next life. Yes, and in the next life you will be that one, you will be a self-realized one. This life is song. The mala is broken. The pearls just disappeared. Two days they were together. Who has gone in which direction, we don’t know. So the condition is that we cannot collect all the pearls where they fall down or disappear, rolled away. But there is the way, "ab sop diya is jīvan kā sab bhār tumhāre hāthoṁ meṁ." Bim. Bam. Enough. So first is, we have given our life to God to follow this path and understand purity. Purity of your nourishment, purity of your love, purity of your society, purity of your language, and everything in everything. With this kind of thought, well, there will be... it doesn’t matter how it is. A great saint, Sūradāsa Jī, was by birth blind, and he had Krishna’s visions, and he said very nicely in his bhajan song to Krishna, "O Lord, O Krishna, O God, O Gurudev." "Mere auguṇ chitnā dharo, guṇa and auguṇa." Guṇa means good quality, and a-guṇa means bad quality. So, Prabhujī, "mere auguṇ chitnā dharo." Chit means consciousness. Chit means your attention that you notice in your mind. Lord, please do not notice or keep in your mind my doṣas, my bad qualities. Lord, you are known as equal vision, one who doesn’t make a difference between sinner and pious, who doesn’t make a difference between male or female, who doesn’t make the difference. All are equal in your heart, in your vision, and in your thoughts. Prabhujī, "mere avaguṇa chitna dharo, samadṛṣṭi," equal vision. "Hai nāma tyāro," you are known as, your name is, O God, samdṛṣṭi. And that, and the day when you will have samadrashti, that you love all, then everything is repaired. What happens? Everything is repaired. The broken pot will again become as it was. Who can do that? Only he. Only Maa Prabhujī can do. It is said, one piece of iron is at the home of the butcher, who is killing animals as a knife. And one knife, or one piece of wood, or the iron is on the altar as a lamp, or some bale, or whatever is on the altar. The bale on the altar, or the knife on the altar for preparing prasāda, is holy. And the same iron is a knife at the butcher’s hand, full of the blood of many animals. "Paras guṇa avaguṇa nahī deke," my lord, the paras, the stone paras has the capability to turn iron into gold. "Paras guṇa avaguṇa nahī dekhe, kāñcan karat khāro," the paras doesn’t see the differences. It makes both knives, or both pieces of iron, gold. If you make a saṅkalpa, if you say, "Now enough, finished," then there is hope. There is a hope, but if not in this life, that will follow your tapasyā. This is a tapasya. Renounce. That’s it. Renounce those stupid feelings. There is one letter, brought to me by one, but I don’t want to tell her name or who that is. Just crying for some man who is a schizophrenic. Not because he is a schizophrenic, but he lived some days with him and went away, and he is crying for that. She should cry for God, for that, for what life has given. Life is not given to cry for this and that, which is not yours. Ātmā jñāna, self-realization. We are all one. Thousands we are sitting here, but different bodies. And that is not your body, not my body. It is anybody, but it is somebody. That is only a body. But we are one as ātmā, ātma jñāna. When you see this, then you will not be jealous. Jealousy is just like a flame, blown off, you don’t know where it disappears. So, Lord, you are known as the equal-vision one. If you wish, Lord, you can let me come through. Yes, you will come. So your mantra, your prayers, your Iṣṭadevatā is that one for whom you should cry, be happy, or belong. There we belong. That’s it. So when we belong there, then automatically we will feel one with it. You know, there are many, many deer—a hundred deer in this forest and a hundred deer in another forest. You bring one deer to another group, it will not feel happy and will always feel lonely and alone. But when he sees the other group of his, where he used to run and feel relaxed and at home, so is that. So, where do I belong? From where did I come? Why did I come? What am I doing? And where will I go? So, renounce those negative qualities which disrupt you in others. Always, you will say, "Now, why is Irenka always sitting and drinking coffee with Parvati?" When Irenka and Parvati are in Andhra, and Andhra and Parvati are sitting together, then I am jealous. Why are these two girls always sitting together? Why are they always together? Yes, it disturbs me, and that quality I have to take away. That’s it. If you cannot remove this, you cannot achieve anything. So, what disturbs you in others, that you have to renounce. So it’s good. In Germany, people used to say, "Das ist gut. Das ist nicht mein Kaffee," no, it is not my coffee, yes, it’s their problem. That’s it. That is a very good mantra. We learned something from Germany, too. Okay? Yes, that’s it. So, enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice. Mahāprabhujī told Gurujī, "If you want to be one with me, meaning in God, then renounce." Renounce your inner feelings. Let it be, let it go. Then you will see how happy you will be, and therefore it is said, we will continue tomorrow. European time, 10 o’clock morning. Wish you all the best. And good night.
