Guruji stated very clearly in one of his bhajans: whatever is given—not only material things but anything, life, happiness, health, everything—is given by Mahāprabhujī. One should have this consciousness, this trust; it is not merely a matter of belief. I observe daily that many people possess trust and beliefs, yet after some days or years, they change. This implies that a person knows, perhaps, that after five years they will change their stance. How certain are you? No one can tell you; only you can know. Such uncertainty can shake your relationship. Many things may happen, but that trust should not change. This is very important. Our life, our birth, our happiness, our knowledge, our buddhi—everything is given by Gurudeva. All that we have is His. Therefore, when everything is yours, what do I lose? But this human intellect always tries to run away. It is a horse, a very wild horse. It needs to be observed and controlled every second, twenty-four hours a day. So it is you; it is your thoughts that can destroy you. It becomes your reality when you speak negatively about someone to another. It may be something about someone, but when you speak about someone to someone else, you become the sinner in between. It has happened to you, not to others. And that poisoned, self-poisoned vṛttis—the cells in your mental modifications—are very hard to get rid of. It is like, you know, when there is a cancer disease, they operate to remove everything, but some cells escape through the blood and again try to multiply elsewhere. Therefore, they require a very, very harsh therapy, partially called chemotherapy, but still some remains. Similarly, this is not only physical. The physical is perhaps easier, but these are self-projected or self-produced. With all these thoughts, which we ourselves have created and projected, they cause us problems. That means for many lives.
