This story is a little hard. When I tell it, sometimes people have tears in their eyes, yes. Because in the heart also, there are tears that come. But first, the tears come in the heart, and then they come up. The heart is like a cup; you pour tea or liquid inside, and when it is filled, then it flows over. So when the heart is full of love, then it flows over, and the heart has a direct connection to the eyes. The tears of joy, tears of love, tears of happiness, or tears of sadness. Yes, stories about God. Today, we have the subject of God, and He must be very happy. Yes, that's it, and He's very happy now. He's proud of Himself that we admire Him so much. That's it. Now, in this world, there are rare people who admire Him, okay? Because in Kali Yuga, people admire money and position, that's it. Money, position, and God says, "Where I am, you are somewhere, don't disturb us, be there where you are." You know, unfortunately, in Kali Yuga, those who love God from the heart are few people like you, dear God. Merciful Lord, Lord of our hearts, omniscient and omnipresent, the one, our most beloved one. Everyone can disappoint us, but be sure God will never disappoint you. He loves. He loves. God had a beautiful house. A beautiful house where He was living, and He had a beautiful garden, the most beautiful one. And what was the specialty of His garden? That He had all the plants of the whole world, all different plants. Many, many plants. In the morning, He got up. God used to get up; He also has rest. I tell Him, "Don't sleep too much." So He said, "My problem is I can't sleep, that's it." He just closed His eyes, but He said, "I see everything." The difference between God and us is that He doesn't sleep and we sleep. What is the proof of it? I have a very clear proof of it. Your body is sleeping and you are dreaming. Who sees the dream? Why are you not sleeping? But you see the dream; you experience the dream. You know that you are dreaming. And then you wake up, the dream is gone, and you say, "I was dreaming." Who said that, "I was dreaming"? So the reality is that the one who never sleeps is always present. Either you dream or are in deep sleep or whatever you are doing. And that is God. So it means you are a part of that divine God. God used to wake up early in the morning and always make His walk through the beautiful garden. And He used to go to every plant and say, "My dear plant, I love you. My rose, I love you. My thorn tree, I love you." He touches them, and all the plants were just leaning towards Him so that He would touch them. And the plants said, "Yes, Lord, we love you. I love you. I love you." There, in the corner of His garden somewhere, was a bamboo. And the bamboo had a conflict. The bamboo thought, "No one loves me." So when God came near, the bamboo was leaning more and said, "Lord, I love you." God said, "My dear bamboo, I love you also very much." It said, "Lord, I have one request." "Yes, what?" "Please, you know, I am a stupid bamboo, empty inside. Many, many knots, and ego high up, but still my request is, let me be in your garden. I want to be in your garden. I am empty inside; whatever I try to learn goes out. I am stupid, I don't know anything. Somebody rubs me, I am so angry, fire comes out of it, and I have the knots of trickery and greediness in me. But, Lord, let me be in your garden." God said, "My bamboo, you will be in my garden; I love you also." Whenever God came every morning, the bamboo used to say, "Lord, I love you, let me be in your garden, please don't cause me any pain." Its heart, the heart of the bamboo, was always full of pain. One day God came, His hands were over His back like this, and walking, "I love you, my plants. I love you, my flowers. I love you this and that." And from a far distance, the bamboo said, "I love you, my God. Come to me, please. But, my Lord, I am afraid. Why did you hide your hands behind your back?" God said, "My dear bamboo, I love you very much." "But, Master, what does 'but' mean? How did this word come between you and me, 'but'?" The Lord said, "But, my bamboo, so today I will cause you pain." "Why, Master? What have I done?" "You have done nothing." "Then why? Why me?" Lord Jesus said to the Father, "Father, why me? Why not others? Why just me?" And the Father said, "Yes, because I send you there. You are my only faithful one." So you may say, "My son, my faithful son," not only the son, "my faithful, my faithful devotee." There are many devotees, but there are rare ones who are one with you and bring the right message of you there and will do what you want. "Bamboo, I will cut your big arm." "Lord, why? What have I done? What has my arm done to you?" "Bamboo, there are millions of people in the world, and animals and plants. Animals and plants are okay, perfect, but the heart of the human is totally closed; there is no love in it. And Master, you cut my arm, and what will my arm help?" "To open their heart." The Master said, "Yes, bamboo, I will make a flute out of you. Myself, I will blow the prāṇa, the energy, my breath into you, my dear. I would like that you are the channel of that, and a beautiful sound, resonance of the flute will come, and when the people will hear this, their heart will marry the music. And so you may call any flutes, or there is one called pan flute, the Romanians, and they are beautiful. When they hear the flute, our hearts are open." And that was the first flute, the flute of Lord Kṛṣṇa. How the first flute came. And so be that bamboo and be ready. God will send the message through you. Be a channel of God. Chuck, cut it, formed it, and made a flute. Well, the bamboo was happy that God made me a flute. But the bamboo said, "Lord, whatever you do with me, do it. I am yours. But let me be in your garden." Always God said, "I love you, my bamboo. I love you, my plants. I love you, my flowers." One day again, God came with His hands on His back. No plant was afraid; all were happy. They thought the Master is tired, so He has His hands on His back. But the bamboo in the corner was looking all the time to see what the Master is doing, with whom He is talking. And now the bamboo said to the Master, "Master, I love you." The Master said, "I love you, my bamboo, my dear one." "Yes, Master, but." The Master said, "Why today did you say 'but'? From where does this 'but' come now?" It said, "Yes, Master, this 'but' comes out of my experience." He said, "Yes, bamboo, you are right. Today I will cause you big pain." "Master, why this? What have I done?" Yes, I will cut off your trunk. You will cut off my trunk? He said, "Yes, but it will grow again." And therefore, Confucius said, "The cut trunk of the tree will grow again." Those were the words from Kṛṣṇa. "Why, Master, will you cut my trunk off?" He said, "Yes, there is a country where there is no rain; there is a drought. It is dry, and animals and humans have nothing to drink. And nearby there is a high mountain with snow on the top. The snow is melting, but the snow falls and water falls somewhere in between the rocks, what you call the cliffs there. I would like this water to fall over the rock and come to this country so the people will have to drink." "Master, you cut my trunk and they will have water? How?" He said, "Yes, I will cut your trunk and place it there as a channel pipe. So water will flow through you, over the rock, and people will have water." "Master, thank you. If it is like this and you can use me, I am ready. But please don't forget me. Love me. I am thine." The Master said, "Yes, I am yours." This needs the heart. Where there is a heart, there is no disappointment. There is no pain, and there is no doubt. Where there is love, there is no jealousy. And where there is attachment, then there is jealousy and fear. And where there is love, there is no fear and no jealousy. So yoga means to unite the heart, the union of the heart: the cosmic heart and individual heart, the divine heart, the holy heart, and this mortal heart of the human beings or other animals, that unites the cosmic cell. So union, union takes place only when heart-to-heart language comes. When brain-to-brain comes, then quarreling is there. And then the quarreling is like this: the heart is blocked. Your dear wife, even in the morning when you get up and you say, "Good morning," she's looking at the video and says, "Good morning." And the husband is looking into the newspaper and says, "Good morning, how are you? Thank you." And there was a day when they said good morning while looking at each other, smiling, happy. Where has the love gone? Because the heart is blocked and the brain is too much used, and the brain is never satisfied; it always has thoughts more and more to have something different. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, the heart is the most important organ of the body. And here is the seat of your real self, your immortal one, which is never born, never dies, everlasting, eternal, divine bliss, delight, and consciousness in the heart. And that heart is completely and constantly, permanently connected with the Supreme. That love, you can't understand. That love is indescribable. Holy Saint Mīrā C said, "I am ill out of this love. No doctor, no Āyurvedic doctor, no one can give me any remedy or heal me. Lord, only when you come as my doctor, then my illness will go away." That's it. The Lord has to come.
