Spiritual practice and love. Don't miss the Satsang -- but the Satsang should be SATSANG!

The spiritual heart is a field cultivated through compassion and watered by the wisdom of satsang.

Compassion makes the field green, but it dries without wisdom's rain. Satsang provides this nectar, a well of intuition and motivation. True satsang consists of the Guru's words and teachings. The harvest yields fruits of knowledge, humility, and love. The senses, like workers, gather these crops. One must be like a bee drawn to nectar, automatically going to satsang without complaint or invitation. The harvested wisdom must be collected within the heart and intellect. This gain must be shared with others through satsang, not hoarded, for it requires flow. Discipline is essential to avoid bad company and protect this harvest. Realization comes through following the Guru's word. Life is for self-realization, supported by practices for health and balance, though the ultimate goal transcends them.

"It is said it doesn’t matter how far or difficult the path is, but never miss the satsaṅg."

"Those who have mantra, those who are pure in their heart... they are concentrated on those crops, going automatically to satsaṅg."

Dayā dharam hariyali sai. Then your field became beautifully green. All seeds which you put in the ground grow. That means dayā, compassion towards all creatures. A spiritual love awakes within you—kindness, love, attention towards all. But there is no water anymore, no rain, and it’s drying out. It means there is no rain of wisdom, no rain of blessing. Yet Guru Dev has shown us the water well. Now we must give water to these young plants. Which water? In satsaṅg you get intuition. In satsaṅg you get motivation. In satsaṅg you get wisdom. That wisdom is like nectar raining for your heart. Lucky are they who can go to satsaṅg, and unlucky are they who don’t. It is said it doesn’t matter how far or difficult the path is, but never miss the satsaṅg. And satsaṅg should be a true satsaṅg: Mahāprabhujī’s words, Mahāprabhujī’s bhajans, Mahāprabhujī’s Līlāmṛta, and so on. That is a waterway, a well of nectar, endless. What happens now? Now, coming to the fruits. Oh. Saṅkhyān mil tūr na jāyī, sab nepe ikatī karalo, ba nepe ikatī karalo. Phir to na bhāī, phir to sabana re nibbāna, re nibbāna. Mujhika bachana nibbāna. Now my field is blossoming, and the crops are ready to harvest. Which kind of fruits? The knowledge, the wisdom, the kindness—the fruits of humbleness, kindness, love, and understanding. Now, all the ladies, all the workers in the field, go to collect the fruits. Why "ladies"? Here, "ladies" means our śūratā, our intention, our senses. Now your senses are so happy, completely satisfied, all concentrated on that wisdom. When in summer beautiful flowers blossom, all the bees go to collect the honey. Bees don’t go to dirt; you will never see a bee sitting on a toilet. Her nature is to go to the flowers to collect nectar. But those who have no bee nature, having the nature of other flies which sit on toilets, will never go to get honey from the flowers. So those who have mantra, those who are pure in their heart—and inside is bhakti, their all feelings, all senses—they are concentrated on those crops, going automatically to satsaṅg. No one is invited to satsaṅg, but everyone must go. Recently, we were in Kumbh Melā. You know how many millions of people were bathing—more than twenty-five. No one had an invitation to go to Kumbh Mela, but they came, and no one died from hunger. Everyone was happy. No one was blaming anyone, "Why didn’t you organize properly?" They went with the law. Similarly, automatically we go to satsaṅg. That person never says, "I don’t like this person in satsaṅg, I don’t like this organizer, I don’t love this." It means you are that fly who sits on the toilet. So you should be like a honey bee, always ready to collect. Let us harvest our spiritual energy, our spiritual knowledge. Firtó rászbanána he, and let us make some tools or some parts to carry it home. So your heart becomes that big part, that vessel where you can collect it all. Your buddhi, your intellect, your brain becomes that endless part; you can collect as much as you like. But what will you do with so much harvesting, so many crops? What will you do? Therefore, it is said: Mā Paramolak Payā Vāpara Yā, Taba Merā Man Mā Bhai, Taba Merā Vachana Nibā. Now you have to be very careful. You have to concentrate. You have to follow the discipline. Create the discipline. Create the barriers. Don’t go towards the kusaṅg. Otherwise, you will lose everything. You know, many times people, just because of one man, leave their entire spiritual families. And after five years, that man pushed this lady under the screws, driver. And the pressure, you brought everything home. Means, you brought now your cetanā, your concentration, yourself to your own home. Means, ātmā jñāna. When you gain spiritual energy, when you gain spiritual knowledge, don’t keep it only for you. You cannot digest it. This awakening of spiritual consciousness needs the flow. That means you should give satsaṅg. You should share your spirituality with others. Bechenko Bajar Siddhaya went to sell the goods in the market. Vápar mól a mólak páya, and there I got a price, very much—so much that people were not able to value it. When I spoke in the satsaṅg, when I appeared full of love and humbleness, with no doubts, no jealousy, no anger—only love, only wisdom—people said, "Oh, what a spiritual man," or a woman, both. Then I was content, then I was satisfied that I have got this knowledge. How did I realize this? Prabhupāda Pradīpa Kheti Nipjai Pradīpa Kheti Pradīpa Kheti Nipjai Pradīpa Imaangilal kahe mere man bhai maag Viralasanth jan meram paai Viralasanth jan meram paai Bhai avadhūta rūpa pisanahe Re nibanahe Mahāprabhujī helped these crops. Harvesting was possible. And Maṅgilālji said, "Then I was content." Birla Shantajan Mehra Majani—very few, very rare saints got this understanding or this hint. Very rare are those who understand the Guru Kṛpā. Avadhūta Rūpa Paisanīye—they got the realization of Avadhūta. Avadhūta means the self-realized one, the one with the Supreme, one without a second. And how? Through following the Guruvākhya. Guruvākhya követése által. Nibbāna, hernī bāna, satta gurujī kā bachana, nibbāna, hernī bāna, hernī bāna,... Jāni gurujī kā bachana, nibbāna, hernī bāna, hernī bāna, hernī bāna,... hernī bāna. Dear ones, life is very precious but very short. This life is given to realize God within our consciousness, to know thyself. Who are you? For that, we need to be healthy. We need to be balanced. We need to be content. And for that, there are some exercises, what we call yoga: āsanas and prānāyāmas, some kriyās. These are all for your physical and mental development. But finally, that is different. So, Maṅgilālji was a very great saint while living a family life. You shall read in the Līlāmṛta. Everyone, do you have the Līlāmṛta of Mahāprabhujī? Who would have written it? Before going to sleep tonight, you must read this. Tonight, before you go, read this.
