Whatever You are Doing will Come Back to You

A spiritual discourse on the purpose of human life and the law of karma.

"You cannot keep water in an unburnt clay pot... Similarly, you cannot keep quicksilver in paper. The kingfisher does not know what to do with pearls, for pearls are the nourishment of the swan."

"Every step will be counted, every thought will be realized, and every word will be heard. Therefore, know that you are human."

The speaker uses poetic metaphors and analogies to explain that spiritual wisdom is only for the prepared, awakened soul. He emphasizes the human capacity for liberation, the inevitable return of all actions, and the dynamic between positive and negative energies. Listeners are urged to cultivate their human qualities, avoid herd mentality, and focus on their spiritual mission.

Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar

Kāche ghare nir nahīṁ thare, nahīṁ thare kāgaj meṁ para, buglā motī ko kyā kare, motī haṁsā kā chārā. You cannot keep water in an unburnt clay pot. It is made of clay, but if it is not fired, the water will seep away. Similarly, you cannot keep quicksilver in paper. The kingfisher does not know what to do with pearls, for pearls are the nourishment of the swan. The swans represent spiritually awakened souls. Every spiritual technique influences our body, mind, and soul. Conversely, every negative action or technique also affects our body, mind, and soul. If you take poison, it will kill you. If you take nectar, it will save you. Everything we do, think, and feel returns to us. Co děláte, to získáte—what you do, that you gain. Therefore, humans possess such an intellect that they can liberate themselves and also help others attain liberation. Your prayers will be heard. Whether you pray aloud or in silence, your feelings will definitely be felt by Him. Sooner or later, His gracious glance will fall upon you. He will not keep you on a waiting list for long. Only a human can understand this; others cannot. Other beings merely eat, sleep, drink, and procreate. They do not understand the mission or purpose of human life. Thus, whatever you do will come back to you. Here, what you are doing—your spiritual sādhanā—will grant you immense light, happiness, and joy. If you bring a tiger into a tiger’s cage, they will not attack immediately. But if you bring a goat into a tiger’s cage, they will attack at once. So it is with Āsurik Śakti and Daivik Śakti, the negative and positive energies. If a little positive enters the negative, they try to overtake it. If a little negative enters the positive, the positive will overtake everything. Every step will be counted, every thought will be realized, and every word will be heard. Therefore, know that you are human. Ask yourself: What makes me human? What are the qualities of a human? How do I cultivate those qualities? And what is the mission of my life? Do not fall into the trap of herd mentality. It does not matter who tells you what. You should be like a bee that takes honey from every flower. Learn lessons from everyone, but keep your main concentration fixed on one goal alone. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
