Gurudev fulfills every wish

The Guru's grace makes the impossible possible. Physical gathering is preferable, but mental unity through devotion also connects us. The Guru's will transcends ordinary limitations, as seen when weather defies forecasts. The Guru principle is not a person but a divine, conscious reality beyond duality and the three gunas. It is supreme bliss and pure knowledge, its awareness vast and impartial like a clear sky. Even divine incarnations like Rama and Krishna followed their Gurus. We must guard our intellect from doubt and jealousy to progress spiritually, aspiring to the Guru's state of unattached consciousness.

"Nothing is impossible for Mahāprabhujī. Nothing is impossible for God to do."

"Brahmanandam Paramasukhadam Kevalam Jnanamurtim... His consciousness is like this clear sky today."

Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī, Devī Svarmā Devā, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavānakī, Syāvar Rāmacandra Bhagavānakī, Kṛṣṇa Kanayālālākī, Sanātana Dharmakī. Good evening, dear brothers and sisters, all devotees of Mahāprabhujī, here and around the world. It doesn’t matter where you are; today we are one with our astral being through the waves of our thoughts. Often, I say on the full moon night that we shall all look at the full moon at the same time, and you will see our spiritual radiance going to the moon. Then I see, like, an umbrella, and we all meet there. To tell the truth, to be physically together is much better than to be only mentally together. That is also beautiful, but it is very difficult. It is not easy to give satisfaction or contentment to our heart. Okay. But nevertheless, we are here. And thank you for your good wishes and congratulations for my birthday on the 15th of August. Gurudev Mahāprabhujī always fulfills our wish. Govind Purī was saying something about Gurujī’s love towards his devotees, and especially to me. But you know that my love for him was not only in every mantra and every breath of the heartbeat, but a complete oneness. Holī Gurujī said many times that whatever I wish will come true. Yes, now he has said it, and Mahāprabhujī has to work hard. How is it possible? It will be possible, but it is possible. In India, many things you think are impossible become possible. Mostly, when people are traveling from Jaipur to Delhi for the airport, there is a lot of traffic and traffic jams, and they say, "Oh God, we will miss our airplane." They are near Delhi, 10 km or 5 km from the airport, and there is so much traffic that they are sure they will miss the plane. But finally, they are surprised; they are sitting in the plane already. So everything is due to the Guru’s grace. Well, exactly three days ago at this time, Pārvatī and I were trying to organize a very big tent for today’s satsaṅg and program. The biggest tent we could find was about 800 or 900 square meters, which is not enough for half of us or a quarter of us. Pārvatī said perhaps the weather will be good. So I said to Horī Gurujī, "How nice it was when Horī Gurujī was here, and my birthday was here also, and Guru Pūrṇimā was also." So please make nice weather. The weather forecast was saying rain, that it will be rainy and cold, that the cold waves will come. The cold waves came till Brno and the Austrian border, and then it changed. Surprise. Yesterday they said the hot waves will come. And so, today, at this time, we don’t see anything in the sky except airplanes flying. Such nice weather. Whatever you wish in your mind, by the grace of Gurudev, nothing is impossible. What you wish, God will make true. Nothing is impossible for Mahāprabhujī. Nothing is impossible for God to do. Yesterday we spoke about Nitya Avatāra and Nimit Avatāra. A Nimit Avatāra has limited possibilities to fulfill wishes, like Brahmā, for example, or Viṣṇu, or Śiva. When Bhaktas ask for immortality, they say, "Sorry, we can’t give you immortality," but they can fulfill any other wish. It is said that to make you immortal is in the hands of Gurudev. A Nityāvatāra has this power. Therefore, it is said: if God has done something wrong, the saints can correct it. But if saints have done something wrong, God cannot correct it. And that’s the protocol between them, an understanding. "Hoṇī guru kar sākhe, hoṇī det mīṭāī, par brahma gurudevhe, sab kus det banāī." What is not possible, Gurudev can do. Or, what’s going to happen? Gurudev can remove it. Parabrahma Gurudev—He is Parabrahma. He can make everything, but we must have the faith. You know the story about Śrī Devpurījī, and you have heard this story many times: the Kailāśa Āśrama in Kailāśa and in the village of Kailāśa, and the neighbor. The village, which is not even one kilometre away, is called Dinkpur. There was a merchant, a businessman, and he didn’t have children and wished very much to have some. Both husband and wife were above 50, nearly reaching 60. One day Devpurījī came, and Devpurījī said, "One chapati, one son; two chapati, two sons." The lady who was making breakfast had already made three chapatis; she ran and gave all three to Devpurījī, and he said, "OK, so you will get three sons." And they did. That son, who was born with Devpurījī’s blessings, and his children, they are living in Jaipur, and always when they come, they tell me this story. They say, "Gurūjī is protecting us. What is not going to happen? It can happen when Gurūjī can." So our benefit is that we follow Guru Vakya. Rām and Kṛṣṇa are the ones who lead to our success. They are the gods of all three worlds. Who is greater than God Rāma and Kṛṣṇa? They also had a Guru Dev. Still, they surrendered to Gurudev and followed the Guru Vākya, followed what the Guru says. We have to understand Guru Tattva. We have to understand these divine elements, Guru Tattva, in the universe—not a body. Don’t think that he or she is also like us. We eat, we drink water; they drink also water. We sleep, we are ill. This is Prakṛti, and they are above the Prakṛtis. They are above the Prakṛtis. "Brahmanandam Paramasukhadam Kevalam Jnanamurtim Dvandatitam Gagansadrasham." The Gurudeva is called the supreme bliss, meaning supreme happiness. Brahmanandam paramasukadam kevalam jnanamurtim: the embodiment of Gurudev is only wisdom, knowledge. Look at that knowledge: brahmanandam paramasukadam. It is above all this "yours" and "mine," and dualities. His consciousness is like this clear sky today. There is not even a single spot of clouds or anything. Equal everywhere. This is the consciousness of the Gurudev. It’s not that your master loves you less and others more. That is our ignorance. The sun is shining for all, not for a particular person or animal. Gagana sadrasya tasmasyadi lakshyam: this is the aim of everyone to achieve. Ekam nityam vimala achalam: only the one truth or God; there is only one reality, and it is one. Ekam nityam: everlasting. Ekam nityam vimala achalam: pure, spotless, and achala—not movable. The sky doesn’t move, and so that Guru principle doesn’t move, and is now everything and above. All conflicts, dualities, differences, changes—bhavātītaṁ triguṇarahitaṁ—above the three guṇas. Therefore, satguruṁ tam namaḥ. And so we adore and bow down again and again to our Satguru Dev, our Siddha Paramparā, from Śrī Alak Purījī from the Himālaya. From Śrī Alak Purījī till now, we continue, and we pray to Guru Dev to protect us. Protect us from doing bad things or making mistakes. Protect us so that we can take care of this holy chair, the holy Siddha Pīṭha of Alakpurījī. For this, I wish you all the best and the blessings of Gurudev, and that Gurudev helps you to come forward in your spirituality. As Jayaprakāś said, we don’t have to come again and again; perhaps we finish all in this life, and then we will be ever in that divine consciousness. Even Kṛṣṇa or Rāma or any incarnation—the holy land India has given so many incarnations and holy saints to the world that we can’t even count how many they were. So where is the holy? Everything is holy. We are in this ashram; it means we are this ashram. We are within this ashram. And so everything is there. From which point of view you are looking, how you respect and accept—this is this. Mahāprabhujī said, "The spoon, which remains all the time in pudding or in honey, cannot taste the sweetness of the honey." And so, people who have a lot of negative karmas, who are dust-overloaded, cannot understand or see that divinity and holy place of that holy land, India—Bhārat, Ārya Vrata—and so many, many names from Vedic times. So, I wish you all the best, and thank you for your good wishes for my birthday. And now, all the best. Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān. Dear brothers and sisters around the world, I bless you. Mahāprabhujī je s námi. In their name and all other holy saints or gods incarnated in different parts of the world, I pray to them to bless us and give us good thoughts. The Buddha said, "Good thoughts lead us to do good things." And if we can’t do good things, at least we should not destroy good things through our behavior, through our gossiping, words, chatting, and so on. Always, we should pray to God to give us good intellect and good thoughts. Keep your intellect under control; that’s all. There should be no infection; bugs should not enter in. If your intellect is good, protected, taken care of, and guarded by you, then it is sure that your spiritual development is rapid. But suddenly, doubt and jealousy arise again, and you fall down. You climb a thousand meters, and with a little doubt, you fall back down. Again, you have to try slowly, slowly to come up. How many times did we fall down? Only we know. So, take care of this part of the body between the two ears. When this is in order, then here will be very, very good. He is always in order, but here is not. That’s what Patañjali is constantly talking about: vṛttis (thoughts), indriyas (senses), and so on. So tomorrow, we will continue on Patañjali. Today was this festival here in India. Today was our Indian national day, Independence Day of India, and also, according to the Catholics, a very holy day: Mother Mary went into heaven again. When she goes, then someone has to come back, that’s it. So perhaps she told me, "Boy, you go." Anyhow, I had to. Follow the mother. But when mother says and children don’t follow, then it’s... but sometimes, you know, mothers are too pushy. So, deep night in Bhagavān. All the best, and God bless you. Thank you.
