Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavānkī, Śrī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādevkī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavānkī. God Brahmā created this world very carefully, and this tree is our life. We cannot imagine the world without trees. We cannot imagine the world without any vegetation. In Hinduism, the tree has the title or equal place as a saint. "Sarvar, Tarvar, Sant, Jan, Chautha Barshi Mei, Parmarat Ke Karne Charo Dari Hai Dei." Sarvar means lake, Tarvar means the tree, Sant means the saint, and Mei means rain. These four manifested, incarnated, and are here on this planet for the benefit of every creature, not only humans. Therefore, it is our prime duty to protect, to serve, and look after these four great living examples: the tree, the sand, the lake, and the rain. Yesterday we spoke about love for all creatures. It is not accepted that humans kill animals, also destroy the forests, and pollute the lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans, and do not respect or listen to the great saints. If we would hear, we would be liberated, but humans became greedy. Humans have got, or humans are caught by the prison—the prison of attachment. As long as you say "my, my," you are not free. But it is our planet, our brothers and sisters living in different forms of life on this... Now you see a nice, cool breeze is coming. Everyone is feeling good. No trees, no air element—finished. And the space, Ākāśa, has so much room for everything to multiply. The wind comes and takes all our smells away. We are sweating now, and whoever is sitting there has an intensive quality, but the space sucks it in, divides it into billions, and that means purification. No air, no cool air. From the trees, only hot and hot and... hot and... hot sun. Can you imagine? Many of us cannot imagine because we live in this part of the world, which is very blessed. One time, when I was first in Nagaria, we made some journey through the country, and we got up at three. At 4:30, we started our journey, and we packed our picnic, our food lunch pocket, and I said, "Somewhere we will sit under a tree and have our eating." From 4:30 till one o'clock, we didn't find one tree. We drove about more than 800 kilometers, 900 kilometers, and I told them, "A tree will come, a tree will come." No trees, hot sun, little little bushes, thorny bushes. Then we said, "Okay, we have to stop and eat something. We will sit under our car's shadow, the shade of the car." But the sun was exactly above, so the car didn't have shade for us either. So there is a life struggling. So we need this beautiful forest. And that's what Patañjali speaks about: citta vṛtti. So yesterday we spoke: citta vṛtti nirodha, citta vṛtti nirodha. Citta is our consciousness, that part of our consciousness which is awakened, which is connected with our intellect. And there are so many thoughts, you cannot imagine. Within your consciousness, there are so many thoughts. It is a jungle. This kind of jungle is healthy, but the jungle of thoughts is not healthy. So how to prevent the citta-vṛtti, the restless thoughts, nonsense thoughts, unhealthy thoughts? First, give up attachment. Attachment and detachment. Attachment is a prison, and detachment is freedom. Imagine that you made some mistake and were given the judgment that you have to be in prison for 18 months, one and a half year. How do you feel? You don't say, "Oh, 18 months, I have nothing to do." Don't think you have nothing to do. They don't let you relax there. You have to clean, you have to work in the field. It's not that you are just sleeping and relaxing. There was one old man—I remember a story—about 60 years, not very old. But now in Kali Yuga, after 35 years, we are all old. After 35 years, that is the highest peak of our life; then we go down. Maximum, we will survive 70 years. And the young generation, we don't know how long they will survive because of the pollution, pesticides, chemicals, so many in the nourishment and everywhere. Their way of life for the human, they made themselves a very, very miserable life. Money is not everything. One wise American said, "When the last fish will die and the last tree will be chipped off, then, oh man, then you will realize that you cannot eat your dollars." You have a lot of money. Your whole car boot is full of the check crown, and you are hungry. But there is nowhere to buy any food. Can you eat your crowns? But there is one man who has a small house and a small garden. He doesn't have money, but he has potatoes, tomatoes, kukurucha, apples, many fruits. He doesn't have so much money, but he has, he's happy, he can survive because he has something to eat. So concentrate on nature. Someone said, "Every culture is a good culture," but very important, and the best culture is agriculture. So concentrate on agriculture. The global crisis which we have now, with the talents, I can tell you, if everyone will learn some kind of handwork, then there will be no problem of employment. Yes, learn handwork. Many, many things are, and all your gardens, don't we? Give water only to the grass. Cultivate some things: fruits and vegetables, and corns and wheats and grains. Own a milk cow, yes, you can. Among five families, one cow. How nice. No pesticides. You don't need anything from dairy production, or you don't know how. The water they are putting in... The global crisis can be overcome, and people can be released from this kind of shock if they develop multi-talents. Multi-talents were learned, different kind of work. So the 60-year-old man... His wife was very angry with him, always. Children were also not following him, you know. As long as there's juice in the lemon, you love the lemon, but when everything is squished out, that lemon is a subject of throwing in the garbage. So, 60 years, my dear, then you will see if your darling still loves you as a darling. Yes, the reality will come, don't worry, it will come. It is not me who is saying it, it is Mother Nature who says, "Man was not happy at home." And one day he was angry, and he beat his wife. So the wife went to the police, and the police said, "Well, he was right because she gave him the report. Why did he do it?" But the police had to take the report, and the judge gave him prison for five years. Boys, don't beat your wives, okay. All you like, do it and relax. Five years later, when the five years came to an end, they took him to the court, and the judge gave the judgment. "Mr. So-and-so, your five years have passed. Don't make such a mistake. And I have good news for you: today you are free from prison." And this man, meanwhile, became how old? Sixty-five. And he begins to cry. What was he crying loudly? He just said, "Perhaps." He's emotional, he's happy that he's crying too. He's happy to go home? No. So his lawyer asked, "Why do you cry?" The judge asked, "Why are you crying?" He said, "I don't want to go home. I want to stay in prison." Just said, "Why?" He said, "Because here was much better life than at home. I don't have to quarrel every day with my wife, to ask her ten times to make me a coffee." So the lawyer told him, "Do some mistake again, that you can come in the prison." And that man said, "Good idea." He stood up, and he was sitting on one chair, he took the chair and threw it on the judge. Oh God, he just got a big scar on his head. He just said, "Seven years prison." He said, "Please, ten years, or should I throw one chair more?" So there are different situations, but the most terrible prison is attachment, greediness. My, my... And those whom you call "my," they will not be thine. Therefore, finally, for all of us, the last shelter is God. We trust in God. We believe in God. We believe our holy scriptures. We believe the Guru Vākyas, and we should wake up to realize that we are human, and this human life is given to become free from this prison, this karmic prison which is torturing us through the destinies. The destiny is the fruit or the result of our karmas. Therefore, where to give our love, where to feel belonging? Therefore, we say, "The whole world is my family." When I concentrate on individual persons, then I am very much bounded and attached. The earth is our... Be the sky as our roof, and the whole world as our house. All humans are my brothers and sisters, and all creatures are my friends and brothers and sisters also. Universal consciousness, then you have God realization, divine visions, enlightenment, and whatnot. Therefore, Patañjali is saying, "Citta vṛtti nirodha." Try to overcome, try to reduce, try to have under control all your thoughts and feelings. The greatest enemy of humans is laziness. The greatest enemy is laziness. Mother and father you had in every life, brothers and sisters you had in every life, husband and wife you had in every life, and children you had in every life. But Gurudev and God realization and the chance to become one with God is only in this life as a human. This jīva which is in this body was sleeping many, many lives, but still the laziness didn't become less. The time which you spend in sleep is lost time, and the time which we spend through our laziness is called sin. You are not aware about the time God gave you in this human form. This is a discrimination towards the time. You kill the time, you lose the time, because you don't know the value of the time. In Western countries, they say time is money, but we say time is so precious that you cannot buy it with money or any precious stones or anything. Time is as precious as your life. Time is as precious as God. Can you imagine that somebody tells you, "Now you have five hours only, then you will die"? Can you imagine how your psychic condition will be? How many SMS will you send? "Please come quickly. Mama, mama, papa, Prashim, quickly, quickly. It's only three hours left, you know?" Every second is like billions of crowns or dollars, time. And you try to speak to the doctor, "Please, I'm ready to do anything and give everything. Please save my life. Give me time." Then you will know what time is. Now we don't know. So, especially in Brahma Mūrta, the morning hour, one hour before sunrise till one and a half hour after sunrise, or two hours before sunrise and one hour after sunrise, is called Brahma Mūrta. And this is a very, very special time. In the Brahma Mūrta, nectar is flowing. Nectar which the sun rises, life is coming, the energy is coming. In this time, if you meditate, then you have more benefit. And if this hour you sleep, you lose it. Holy Gurujī often used to say, "Those who have many sins in their past life and those who have a dark destiny, in Brahmamuhūrta the sleep is very sweet to them." Nothing is more beautiful than sleep at that hour. If your dear husband tries to wake you up, my God, he should have some bulletproof jacket, or your dear wife wakes you up, he said. So the sinner, pāpīko brahmamūrth, amṛtvelā, that we also call amṛtvelā, the time of the nectar. Now, laziness becomes your destructive power. He is sitting on you. Like a devil, you can't come up. Like you take a football and press it under the water. The football would like to come out, but it can't. Laziness and laziness is a very tricky, very sweet. He plays such a game with you that you like it. And that's why everyone likes Yoga Nidra, you know. Afternoon, we have Yoga Nidra. 98%—98% of you all who practice Yoga Nidra—nothing but laziness. After ten minutes, you don't know what the instructor is saying. Now, therefore, the time which is given to us in human life is very, very precious. And this human body is that diamond. You cannot buy this diamond in the entire universe. And you cannot exchange this diamond. Now you are old. Do you think that you get out of the body and go to some new? Tell someone, "Can you give me your new body, young body, and jump in it?" No. God doesn't know this business. He doesn't want this business. Therefore, Holy Gurujī wrote a bhajan, which you know, that bhajan: "Bhai tum jāgo re, terā avasar." Oh, my brothers, wake up, wake up. Your chance is going away. You are losing your chance. "Tum janam janam dukh pāye bhāī, tum re tum janam janam dukh pāye bhāī, tum terā avasar bītā jāye bhāī tum." Jag nidrā vidyā, the sleep, sleepiness is the sign of ignorance, tamas guṇa. Nindāvidyā chhāy rahī, like the heavy clouds. Wherever you look on the horizon, it's very dark, with heavy clouds sitting overhead. That is your laziness, that's your sleep, that's your ignorance. And you think, "Ah, beautiful, get up." Yeah, you have to go to work, darling. I know, I have still 20 minutes. That is a laziness result. Janam janam dukh pāī. Life after life you will suffer. Every life you will suffer. You have to go through different kind of life, the form of the life, and there you will suffer. No one can help you, you know. Just now we heard, "Don't go to the forest, four o'clock the hunters, they're hunting the animals." We can't do anything. We can't go to those hunters and say... Please don't kill them, though. Animals would like that we help them, but you have no power to do anything. What is their situation? They are ten or five together, and one targets and shoots one deer. Others, poor, they know what happens. They love their family, they love their children, they love their parents, they love their brothers, sisters. Don't think that they don't know what's happening, but they can't do anything. So this killer, next life, they will be that deer, and that will become human to shoot them again and again and again, so janam janam dukhpāī. Through this laziness, you will suffer lives and lives and lives. When the doctor comes with an injection, though it is a very fine, small needle, but still our heartbeat is going up. Everyone has a fear. Even a tree has a fear when you go with an axe. Therefore, try to develop those vṛttis in your consciousness, healthy vṛttis, that I would like to be like that, and I will respect the time. Quit your television program in the night. Quit your internet program in the night. Quit your going to the pub or gambling in the night. Quit a few telephone calls in the night and go early sleeping. If you can't sleep, meditate. Next day, get up at Brahma Mūrta. Doesn't matter how. Tell yourself, "Go under the cold water." I will see if you wake up. Not the whole day, don't sleep. Evening, go early sleeping. You can't sleep? No problem. Make your... Mala, early morning, get up under the cold water and run, and asanas and pranayams, and whole day working, no sleeping. Evening, you will be very quickly. That's how to change the program. Very easy, depends on you. So this jīva have been sleeping in many, many lives, there's no end of the sleep of this jīvātmā. So, a human should wake up. This bhajan we will sing this evening. So, citta vṛtti, what Patañjali is again and again saying, now when you are inspired by the master's words, Guruvākya, when you are inspired by the śāstras, means the ancient literatures, when you are inspired in satsaṅg, then some new vṛttis awake in you. Now what to do? Where to begin? That time, Patañjali said that put your vṛttis in the direction: don't control, don't stop the thoughts, but give the direction to your thoughts in beautiful thoughts. "Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe 'vasthānam." That time, the draṣṭā means the seer, the you. You are the witness, the one that fixes your thoughts in your svarūpa, your ātmā, yourself. Realize the situation which I told you, and now, where is the solution? The attachment above the attachment. As the Śaṅkarācārya said in his beautiful bhajan, you know very well this bhajan, where he said, "I am not these elements, I am not these thoughts, neither this body, nor I am these indriyas, nor I am these prāṇas. I have no mother, and I have no father. There is no master, no disciple. I am the Divine Chidānanda Śaurūpa, the Supreme Consciousness, the Cosmic Consciousness, the Ātmā." But if you have attachment, you are the same little mouse running under the furniture from here to there and to here to there. There, it depends on you. It is in your hands. So, "tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe 'vasthānam." That time, through the meditation, the draṣṭā, you are the draṣṭā, svarūpam. What is my svarūpam? My form, who am I? I'm not the body, I'm not the indriyas, I'm not these prāṇas, pañca prāṇas, upa prāṇas. I am not a mother, father, child. I am ātmā. And you fix your thoughts in the ātmā jñāna and ātmā, then can be the liberation or realization. Otherwise, it's not so easy to realize what I tell you. So develop the discipline. Wake up tomorrow morning, everyone. 20 minutes past five. One, two, three, four, five, and 20 minutes, two and zero. Get out of your laziness, the dark cloud of your laziness. Come out. Put all your bad things, which are sleeping in the halls, in the garden. Go under the very cold shower. And then go around the whole garden, walking here. And go to your program, sit there, meditate, and pray. That will be. For what did you come here? Why did you come? You gave the money. Beautiful, precious holidays, family. This you could have done at home too. And in order to get rid of laziness or become a little easier, try to eat less bread, try to eat less rice. It means all kinds of grains, reduce 50%. You will see how it will be. Next morning will be so easy, or don't eat anything after this dinner. But our real dinner begins 11:30. No, you clean your, of course you have to clean your freezer. You empty the whole freezer, that something is not rotten, that is not a way of life, and even the dinner, now eat only 50% of your diet capacity. So maybe tomorrow will be no dinner. Hurry home, no flute, no bamboo, no flute, no noise. Very good idea. Tomorrow, the Americans, they said. Quit the dinner, okay? Thank you. And breakfast will be only some kind of liquid, and your dinner or lunch will be some green leaves. How nice, very nice. So, wish you all the best. So, "tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe 'vasthānam." At that time, the practitioner in meditation realizes, "Who am I?" and draws all their vṛttis, their thoughts, towards that direction. What will happen then? That I will tell you tomorrow. I wish you all the best and a very good time. Relax, get out of your laziness, and go and have a little dinner. We will see for prayers, bhajans, and again we will have what, Śiva Purāṇa. Till that, all the best and God bless you. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī Jai. Devī Śvara Mahādeva kī Jai. Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān kī Jai. Satya Sanātana Dharma kī Jai. Hari Om, everybody.
