Mahāprabhujī’s divine message was to limit your needs and limit your greed. Clear from your mind all the conflicts, all the doubts and jealousy. Take it as it is; accept your destiny, accept the situation of your life. If you don’t like the situation of your life, then try something and pray that it will develop. Definitely, we are a part of our life situation. But we are not angry with ourselves; we are angry with others. If you are not here, the situation is not here. So you are also a part of that situation. We are one organ of the body. We are one part of that motor which is running as life. And so, don’t blame someone. Don’t throw the dirt on someone. Try to clean the dirt from you. You are in the dirt, stuck. Therefore, the only way is to pray, to meditate, and to ask God for forgiveness. If you believe in God, if you don’t believe in God, still it will be good if you change your life in a positive way. And you cannot have everything forever, you see. And everything forever would be boring. Its changing is good. When we were small babies, we liked only milk, nothing else. When we grow, then we get some baby food. And if someone gives you baby food now, will you like that? All right. You will say, "I am not a baby anymore." That’s it. But time will come again when we will be 90 years old, then we will give baby food again, because the clock is going back. Now, in Kali Yuga, in this fast food, junk food, what people are eating is 35 to 40 years. It’s a maximum going up and then counting back again. That’s it. So those who are 40 years, they are in the list of the top level. Yes, now it’s counting back. But before, 100 years or 80, 50 years, 30 years, it was 70 years, tops. Then came 60, then came 40, 50. So, thanks to God, many of us are in our 40s or 50s, and others are overtaking us. They are already in the forties, they are on the top because of their way of living. So, yoga and the teaching of the great sages is meant for the good of humans, and also for the protection and love of the entire creation. Practice makes the master. If we do not practice, we will not get. So, without making any difference. So every master, every holy saint, according to the culture, climate, country, and situation, gave the instruction to the people on what to do. The essence of the instruction is the same. So Bhagavān Śrī Dīpnā and Mahāprabhujī’s teachings were very simple, very understandable, and were for every man, everyone to understand. Therefore, Holy Gurujī said in a beautiful bhajan, and one mantra, many listeners who have no mantra, and if they would like to have a mantra, if they want to practice the mantra, you can make an experiment with this mantra, you will get benefit. And in this bhajan, Holy Guruji is talking about this mantra, which I will translate for you. Mantra is like this: Dīpa nirañjana saba dukha bhañjana. This is a mantra. Dīpa is the light. Nirañjana is pure. Saba is all. Dukha is darkness, pain, troubles. Bhañjana means to remove, to free. A very simple mantra and a very powerful mantra. Beautiful melody. It’s very easy to sing. Once more. Very perfect. You need not play your instruments, okay? Harmonium, give to the rest. Dīpa, deep is the light, the universal light, the name of Mahāprabhujī also. Nirañjana means spotless, pure, crystal clear. Saba is all. What? Dukha. What is dukha? Troubles, pain, these, that, all. Bhañjana, free. That’s very powerful, very simple. We also add there, "Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Saba Dukha Bhañjana," but you can also have the short "Dīpa Nirañjana Saba Dukha Bhañjana." Pronounce once more: Dīpa Nirañjana Saba Dukha Bhañjana. Dīpa Nīrañjana Saba Dukha Bhañjana. Now Gurujī is saying, what happens when you repeat this mantra? That’s important. What happens? You have to follow me, not that I follow you. I know you know the mantra and bhajan, but this is not only for you who are sitting here, but also for our dear brothers and sisters who are in the far distance from here. Through this mantra, Isi mantrasī hove mana mañjana. Hove means it will be, it will. Mana is the mind, and mañjana is purified. When you brush your teeth, then you have very nice, clean, shining teeth, no? Who didn’t brush their teeth, always sitting like this. Who brushed their teeth nicely? Come sit there and make sure. When the mirror is dusty and you clean it, then it’s beautiful, very clean. Mañjana means purification, cleaning, polishing. Shining, transparent. It’s not nice? What will be transparent? It cannot be transparent. It’s not that a glass can be transparent. Your mind will be very positive, very pure, very clean, shining. Did you see how the mind is shining? You have to look inside to your inner mirror, then you will see how your mind is pure. There is a grass called jute. You know what is jute? Jute bag. The bag made out of jute. And also, from this jute, they make very big rope. You know the thick rope which you tie the ships and the boats? You know the rope? Yes? That rope, even if you put it in the water for a long time, it will become stronger, tighter. It will not become soft. Understand? The nice robe, even if you suck into the Gaṅgā water, it will become tight, ego. So there is one point. Kapaṭī jana sudhāre nahī̃, kapaṭī jana sudhāre nahī̃, sā santa ke saṅga. A tricky, kapaṭī person who is tricky and this and that will not be better. Even he or she will be with hundreds of saints. Even if you dip in the water of the Gaṅgā, still it will be very slight, like this. So, purification of the mind. The mind is a problem. We said, "I changed my mind. Oh yes, I accepted, it is beautiful, very nice, yes, I liked." And next they said, "No, I changed my mind." How did you change your mind? It is not like a spare part of a car that you change. But this is that our mental problem. The mind is our problem. Suddenly, you turn the key in the other direction. You say, "No, this, that, that." What is a conflict? Conflict is the mind. What is a pollution? All this physical pollution is a pollution of the human mind. So, this mantra says, "Hove mana mañjana." Through this mantra, your mind will be free from tensions. Your mind will be free from negative thinking. Your mind will be free from making self-negative thoughts against yourself. There are many people who are not happy with themselves, many, many. When you go to buy shoes, how many times do you try them on and go near the mirror? Only the shoes. You put the shoes on, you go near the mirror, and you walk, tap, tap, tap. And again, you turn left side, and again, you turn right side. This is only shoes. It means you are not happy. You close one eye and then make it something like this. And then you look how you look with one closed eye. God gave you two eyes, why do you close one, and then another one? And then looking with the mirror this side, with the mirror that side, with the mirror that side. This means we are not happy with ourselves. This is this. Some don’t like the way of their own hair. Always, they go to the hairdresser and say, "Please color now this, please color now that." Very, very hard. When you are worthy enough, when you have enough experiences in your life. When many times you were against the stones, how do you call your foot, kicking the stones, and many, many disappointments? How many times, how many years sitting in school and learning? Finally, now you’ve got the white, grey hair. If these boys and girls who see it for twenty years want to have a white beard, they cannot. Yes, they can color it, that’s all. But all these boys, you know, still you have to have many, many kicks from your friends. Then you will get gray hair, white hair. You are worthy enough that God gave you now the white, gray hair. And what are you doing? Your white karma, you put again black. The white karma, you put again, black karma. So it means we are not satisfied. So repeat this mantra. Āṅkhe khol jāve. Hirade kamala kī āṅkhe khol. Hirade kamala kī āṅkhe khol jā. Hirade means the heart. Kamala is lotus. Lotus heart. The lotus of our heart, āṅkhe khol jāve. We have also eyes in the heart also. We have six eyes. Do you know? Two eyes for looking at this world, okay? Two eyes with our viveka intellect to make a decision. Then there is some very serious point, or a businessman, you have to decide something. You say, "One moment, let me think it over." What are you doing? You close your eyes and say, "Yes, 20 million dollars, okay." How did you see with your inner eyes? Inner eyes. Two eyes for looking and taking care of this, our worldly life outside, and two eyes are for our decisions. But these four eyes, two physical eyes and two of our intellectual eyes, can put us in trouble. Because physical eyes will put us in the temptation of beauty. I like this, I don’t like this. When you see a big ball of ice cream, two or three balls on it, colorful, then you have temptation. Color, these eyes are for color. And then you ask your intellect, and your intellect will support your selfishness. It will look at your greed. It will look to your benefit, not the benefit of others. So, these four eyes there can lead us in the wrong direction. Therefore, God gave us another two eyes, and these are from the heart. So, in the negotiation in business life, you tell in business language, "Where is your point of pain, the border of your pain, that you cannot go any lower than this?" Then you go to your heart and you say, "Really, okay." Your heart will tell you the truth, and then when you see with the heart, these inner eyes will have beautiful glasses to see clearly, the intellect. And then your physical eyes will radiate and say, "Okay." So we need to open the eyes of our heart. Hirade kamala kī āṅkhe khulā. Hirade is the heart, kamala is the lotus. Āṅkhe means the eyes, khulā means open. Hirade kamala kī āṅkhe khulā. Hirade kamala kī āṅkhe khulā. The eyes of the heart will open. When and how? So, if you put in, if you will put ointment of mantra, it is now your ointment. Now the mantra becomes an ointment, a medicine. If systematically, every day on time, you will put this sentiment in your heart, then it will open. Otherwise, it will not open. So you have to make every day systematic, very correct, then it will happen. Those who put this meme in your heart every day, this mantra in your heart, then it is said, your inner eyes will be opened. When the eyes of your heart open, then you will see the world completely differently. How? Positive, everything is beautiful, nothing is disturbing, no conflict. It’s something indescribable. When you get up in the morning, when you open your eyes, five times you should say your mantra. Then, while cooking your hot water, boiling hot water, putting tea inside or coffee inside, the best is a neem tea. Boil the water and put a little neem inside, and then you drink it, and it is bitter. Oh God, early morning, your day begins with bitterness. It is bitter, but the effect is sweet. So when it is bitter, you should say, "Dīpa Nirañjana Saba Dukha Bhañjana. Isi mantrasī hove mana mañjana. Āṅkhe khol jāve hirade kamala kī āṅkhe."
