Guruvakyam

A spiritual discourse on the rarity of true discipleship and the prerequisites for divine realization.

"How dear is to me the words, the Guruvākyam, all I know. Others will not understand, and what can I explain to you?"

"Spirituality means purity: crystal clear, spotless, pure through and through, transparent—through body, through mind, through thinking, through your words."

The speaker explains that true understanding of a guru's words is exceedingly rare, likening genuine disciples to diamonds among stones. He stresses the guru's need for caution and outlines the path to higher consciousness through rigorous personal purification. This involves practicing Anuṣṭhāna and purifying one's speech for twelve years—avoiding all criticism and negativity—to ultimately attain Devavāṇī, the voice of the divine.

Therefore, we said guru-vākya is rare; only bhaktas can understand guru-vākya. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said: "How dear is to me the words, the Guruvākyam, all I know. Others will not understand, and what can I explain to you? Because you will not understand, how dear it is to me." So there are rare disciples who will understand. Consequently, when you become a guru, you must be very careful. Otherwise, you will have big problems. Parents and gurus have to protect themselves very much. I have tested my disciples many times. They say, "My life belongs to you, I am yours," and one day I said, "No, don't do this." They reply, "Why not? I will do it." That is not a disciple. So there are three categories: flower, follower, and fall-over. 99.99% are the fall-overs. That's it. All stones are not jewels; all stones are not diamonds. Diamonds are rare. So you are that rare one, but still I do not dare. Though you are very rare, I have to be very careful. I have to take very great care about what I talk. Yes, that is a reality, and that is the reality. We will sing Swāmī Lālānandajī's bhajan afterward: "Nāda rūpa para brahma." The supreme Self is that resonance, that sound which is residing throughout the whole universe—in every heart, even in the heart of a little ant, and in every grain of sand, everywhere. But that sound, that nāda, can only be realized when you practice Anuṣṭhāna and Nāda Yoga. Perhaps our next Anuṣṭhāna will be with Nāda Yoga. But Nāda Yoga can only be successful if you purify your body. Pavitra vāṇī—purify your language. When is language pure? When is your speech pure? For twelve years, you do not talk negatively about anyone. You do not criticize anyone; you do not even say "bloody one" in a dream. Ani ve snu nesmíte říct "zlotřilče." Yehé saṅkalpā. This is the saṅkalpā. To je saṅkalpā. That is the anuṣṭhāna. To je anuṣṭhāna. That is the mauna. To je mauna. That is the vāṇī. Pure vāṇī. To je čistá vāṇī. "Hon tārī bulāun se, Prabhu, mārī khabar tun le. A to tārī mārī benivāt se, Koī krīzo na jāṇī le." This is a Gujarati bhajan, you know. If your words are avichal—it means if your vākyas are true, unchangeable—then, "Yes, Lord, I am yours." To znamená, že jestli vaše slova jsou pravdivá, tak ano, pane, pak jsem tvůj. So, even not writing bad things—also not writing bad things in school, not telling bad things to your friends. Purify your body, then you will attain the second level of your body, and that is called Dev Vāṇī. Devavāṇī means the voice of the goddess. Everyone is longing for that: Devavāṇī, Ākāśavāṇī, Brahmavāṇī, Brahmavākya. That then becomes the Brahmavākya. Therefore, purification. Spirituality means purity: crystal clear, spotless, pure through and through, transparent—through body, through mind, through thinking, through your words, through your behaviors, and through your social position, truthfully. So pavitratā—purity, purify. Thus, anuṣṭhāna is for the purification of the unconsciousness, subconsciousness, and consciousness, to enter into the superconsciousness. And there, mantra is the best.
