We are all practicing mantra, and we know many things about it. The day before yesterday, and also yesterday morning, I spoke about the origin of the entire creation. The origin of all creation is the sound Oṁ. If you remember, we spoke about two powers: Āsurik śakti and Devik śakti—the negative force and the positive force. This is where it has existed, is existing, and will be existing. How to keep peace and harmony has been the first question even in the mind of the Godheads. This is not very new. So, at that time, they had already found the way to avoid or to win over the negative forces. You can be a winner only if you are stronger. Now, that strength, the "stronger," means different things. Physical strength is also very important, but it’s limited. Mental strength is much stronger than physical strength, but that’s also not strong enough. The atom bomb, the willpower, the inner willpower—that’s stronger than mental power, but that’s also not enough. They began to think, "Where is the source of our strength? From where does the strength come?" So we must find the source. The source was in that powerful world, the sound which created the entire universe. The source was found in this powerful word, in the sound, in the OṂ, which created the whole universe. So, how to come to that source? To come there, they found some way, and that way you may call techniques. They found certain paths for this, which we call techniques. In many different kinds of social life, or in this physical world, there are also different kinds of powers. In the physical world, as well as in social relations, there are different powers. The man has no power, but the chair, the position, has a power, and that’s very important. That power in the universe is divided into two parts: the negative and the positive. We must find the techniques to weaken the negative power. We need to find a method by which we will weaken the negative power and strengthen the positive power. This is very important. So how do we weaken that power? Before that, we should know what that negative power is. If we know, then we can fight. It may be some illness. First, we should know what kind of illness that is, and then, which medicine will help? So, which kind of mantra will help us to weaken certain powers? That can be political too. One politician is looking for the weaker points of the other politician. So that has been from the very beginning, even in the spiritual world, in the astral world. Every incarnation of God had nights and nights, sleepless nights, discussing how to manage that negative power, how to destroy it a little. How to manage that we are winners? How to show what is justice? How to show what is right? In every walk of life, we see the fighting of the negative and positive. If we look closely at life, we will be able to see the positive and the negative, and it doesn’t happen only with us. It is happening with every creature. So we must take the source of that power. Our physical strength, our mental strength, our emotional strength, our spiritual strength is not based on the material world but is based on some spiritual world, the energy. And that energy is a spiritual energy, not visible with our eyes, but it is there. What we call the human language is the most powerful language. We are trying sometimes to make some programs or some conferences, and we are searching for a title. But every word of the human language is a title. On every word, we can make a conference. It means that every word has so much power and meaning that we can discuss it for many, many years. Every single word has such a huge power and so much meaning that we could talk about it for years. Every word has so many meanings that we could discuss every single one of them every year. Make a conference on the word "hate." We can organize a conference on the word "hate," and you will see how many experts will talk for many, many days about what hate is. Or, let’s say, the word "ugly." Many, many experts will speak on this. Is there something ugly, or is it only the word that we are using? It is said, God is beautiful. Everything that God has created is beautiful. So, there is nothing existing that is ugly. Then why does this word have so much power? Because the mantra is that word which can create immense happiness or unhappiness. Mantra is a word that can create a lot of happiness or unhappiness. It can create a war, or it can stop the war. If you tell someone, "You are beautiful," you create immense happiness and joy in that person. Now, can you describe what is beauty? There can be conferences. The economy is dependent on beauty—beauty salons, beauty cosmetics. And if you tell someone they are ugly, it will make that person so unhappy. For a lifetime, that person will not forget this word: "That one day, that person told me, 'You are ugly.'" The wound which is caused by some weapon or a knife can be healed, but the wound which is caused by the words of humans cannot be healed for a whole life. So when we know that there is nothing existing that is ugly—that God made everything beautiful and nothing exists as ugly—then why does it make you unhappy when someone says you are ugly? So there must be something more to it. And that is the power of the word. So it’s snaga reči (the power of speech). So, what can we find? In which way can we weaken the āsurī śaktis, the negative energy, so that we can win over the asuras, the negative ones? And there were used mantras. What is a blessing? Blessing is a mantra. And this blessing, anyone can give you a blessing. The one who can tell you "ugly" can also tell you "beautiful." So, it is better to have blessings from everyone than to have negative thoughts from anyone. Blessing comes from the heart. Your mother can bless you. Your father can bless you. Your brother and sister can bless you, the elderly one. Anyone can bless you who is older than you. A holy man can bless you. Now, this blessing is the power of the mantra. Or anyone who has spiritual power and knowledge can bless you; it doesn’t matter if he’s old or young. And everyone who has spiritual knowledge and spiritual strength can bless you without a doubt.
