Anusthan practice made V

This sanctuary offers perfect peace and spiritual nourishment, free from all material and technological pollution. Modern holidays often become mental torture with constant noise, but here balance is maintained through daily spiritual practice. The environment itself is nourishment for the mind and heart. True heart nourishment comes from a heart-to-heart connection, which can be found even with a pet, not solely in human romance. This intensive spiritual practice is not a daily routine but a profound, periodic purification for body, mind, and soul, to be done only once or twice yearly. You are now renewed and must return to the hectic world.

"The nourishment of the heart is another heart."

"This Kriyānusthān is not a capsule program... It is like Saṅghaprakṣālana, which you do only three times a year."

In this short time, I believe you have learned many things. You have recharged your physical, mental, and spiritual energies. This place is truly getting better and better every day. Every year, we receive more spiritual energy here due to your presence. Through Śrī Mahāprabhujī’s blessing, it is a pollution-free zone—free from material, technological, and electronic pollution: no televisions, newspapers, radios, discos, or anything like that. We are also free from chemical and technological pollution. I tell you, if you had gone on holiday to a beach, it would be a horror now. Until one or two o'clock at night, there are open-air concerts and discos; you cannot sleep. The daytime is also noisy. These are not holidays anymore; it is mental torture, and you cannot maintain your peace. Here, we have perfect peace and balance every day with satsaṅg, prayers, singing, and teachings. Svaki dan imam svoju sādhanā, satsaṅg, bhajan, mūrti. As Mr. Gulab Kotari said yesterday about nourishment, the environment is also nourishment. The mental environment serves as nourishment. Speaking is nourishment, and not speaking is also nourishment. Now he is coming—his long life, you know. In India we say, "Remember somebody, and he appears." It is a long life this morning. You can see if someone had high blood pressure; after this week, it will be normal. But now you have to jump back into the hectic world. This old technology has made humans very individualistic. Humans are cut off from humans. Everyone has their own television and laptop, their mobile, always on SMS, so we are getting farther and farther apart. The love of human for human is missing. Gulābjī spoke yesterday about nourishment for the heart. The nourishment of the heart is another heart. But do not understand this only as between husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend. Sometimes you can have a better heart-to-heart feeling with your cat than with your husband. In modern psychology, they advise people who have depression or certain problems, who cannot maintain their life, to have a house pet. Then they see the blood pressure goes down and many symptoms in the body, which the doctor couldn't cure, are balanced or cured. This is a heart-to-heart connection. Like little children with a doll—they are so happy, always carrying it close to their heart. When they are nervous, unhappy, or crying, the mother gives them a toy. This toy is a heart-to-heart for them. So, do not understand 'heart-to-heart' now to mean you must immediately find a wife or a husband because Gulābjī said you need another heart. Of course, if you are missing that, I wish you will find it. You can find a happy heart in a cat. Another thing: you had this anuṣṭhāna for one week. In this anuṣṭhāna, there are very selected yogic kriyās, but these are not for your everyday life. All these kriyās you did from morning to evening in different sessions—different kriyās with chakras, with breath, with concentration, with mantras: chakra śodhanam, chidākāśa, dhāraṇā, all these anuloma, viloma, śuddhis—all this technique from morning onward is like a complete course to be done once or twice a year. Nowadays, in modern language, they say "capsule program." You know what a capsule program is? It means you just take one tablet, and that's enough, and you take it every day. These are only a few exercises which take five or ten minutes. That is a capsule program. So this Kriyānusthān is not a capsule program. It is not medicine to take every day. It is like Saṅghaprakṣālana, which you do only three times a year. You may like Saṅghaprakṣālana very much, but do not do it every day. So this was a Saṅgha Prakṣālana, an Anuṣṭhāna, a Śuddhi: mana śuddhi, ātmā śuddhi, tantra śuddhi—the purification of the body, purification of the mind, purification of the ātmā, so that your soul feels good. I wish you a very happy, very safe, and very pleasant journey back. And I will see you again very soon.
