Some people who know the Strilka Forest—we need someone who knows how to shoot here. This is where the picture of Holy Mother Maria is. That’s it. Hear me also? Yes? Slyšíte dobře? The webcast is good? Dobře. Was the walk good? You were quicker than me. Warm weather? So today we are in another hall that’s called Kailash View Hall. Yesterday was the Shiva garden, and today we are in Kailash View. The speciality of this hall is that you have a vision or a look far into the distance, and the horizon is far. And also, you see behind the Satguru Kutīr, the Satguru hut, or Satguru Nivas, the residence of Satguru, where the Satguru resides. And this direction, when you look, that’s called the Himalayas. There’s a castle of the King, Himālaya, Pārvatī’s father. So there’s a castle; you all are accommodated in this castle. And here in the hut, Satguru Dev is accommodated. And then you see this side, beautiful view. So everything is very good, harmonized, and in perfect balance. Welcome, all of you, dear bhaktas, devotees, friends, spiritual seekers, here and in other parts of the world. Yesterday evening, I promised to translate one bhajan. So, I hope that we will be able to begin to translate. You know, there is a pre-arrangement, pre-destiny, pre-production for every soul. Určité přeturčení, nastavení, and where and how and what will happen. We are all seekers. Our search will not stop until we find what we are searching for. There is one beautiful version. Once, Holy Gurujī sent me that bhajan to Vienna. He recorded it. Gurujī used to record the best bhajans from Indian radio. Every day they are broadcasting, one hour bhajan coming, noon bhajans coming, and evening bhajans coming. That’s called bhakti yoga. And there he played bhajans of different saints. And holy Gurujī, in the morning when he was sitting in meditation, ninety-nine percent of the time Gurujī had his bhajans playing on a cassette tape recorder. One day I asked Gurujī, "Does this disturb you?" So Gurujī said, "It doesn’t disturb, it helps me." Now find them, Vṛtti and Muktānanda, that they are here. So, because otherwise vṛtti goes to the material world. Music has a very deep influence on your psyche. The sound. There is some music, what we call old classical music. There is a beautiful, nice, what you have here, different symphonies. And you hear it’s a very nice harmony, like a peaceful sea or the ocean, with nice waves. Where even the beautiful swans swim. They don’t feel disturbed by the waves. Tchaikovsky, I think, wrote Swan Lake. And this is a very famous theater, no? Or opera? So one day I was in Cherkasy in Ukraine, a beautiful village, a beautiful city, and the mayor of the city, the mayor of Cherkasy, and his wife and all, they are bhakta-s, and he said, "Swāmījī, we would like to take you for a little sightseeing." I said, well, actually I’m not interested in any sightseeing. Because when once Gurujī came to Prague, and people said, "Gurujī, we would like to organize sightseeing for you," Gurujī says, "I don’t like side-seeing, I like straight-seeing." Joke. So that mayor, he took me to the countryside. And he showed me a very, very old tree. Several hundred years old, or maybe one century old. I mean, a few centuries, sorry. And the tree is under protection. And nicely, heavily, buried around the tree, that no one goes and touches, always the tree. Sometimes a branch was broken by the lightning from the clouds. And if I’m not wrong, then I think that tree is under protection by UNESCO. Like this tree is also under protection of the government, so you know, we are not only protecting the humans, and like this, we are also inheriting and protecting our trees. Similarly, there is a very old, very, very big gold tree in Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada. Now, that tree is not a tree anymore. It’s only a trunk, and inside is a hole, and that’s called a hollow tree. And anyone who goes to Vancouver, the sightseeing bus takes them there to see that old tree. And many people have signed there. You need several hands to hug the tree. And when you go in, all of you look up. Just you hit yoga, and then life. And when you make parikramā, high up, about six meters, someone has signed yoga, and then life. That Stanley Park is something. You have seen many parks, but not like that. What you call untouched nature. If the tree breaks down, they let it lie where it is. Other trees grow on that, and like this. Unfortunately, two years ago, there was a hurricane. And about 2,000 trees broke. A very sad picture. So around the world, there are many good things which remind us of history. So when I’m in Vancouver for four days, every day, one or two hours, I’m walking in that park. Don’t miss. So he showed me, the tree. The mayor of Cherkasy, Ukraine, and then we came back. And he took me to one lake, and that lake was half of our lake here. And that was the lake where Mr. Tchaikovsky sat and wrote "The Swan Lake." Historical lake. You see, it’s about hardly 50 by 50 meters. But can you imagine the creation of the human mind, the human brain? What has awakened in the whole world consciousness? Something? The lake of swans. That’s called art. That’s called talent. That’s called vision. That’s called imagination. That’s it. So you can take from anything the beauty out. And that’s that: even from a stone, you can manifest God. It depends on you. If you see that lake, it is full of mosquitoes, and no one would think that such a great artist, writer, would sit there and write this. But that is his hometown, his home place. So similarly, in this world, we have many things which remind us. So there are certain souls which have a pre-prediction of where they will come, whom they will meet, and what will happen. The bhajans, the sound, will direct your concentration towards your aim. So when there is nice music, then you feel yourself relaxed and calm. All these symphonies are this classical, ancient music, anti-stress music, even the songs. Union, family, friends, faithfulness, love, God, and so on. So, like a beautiful lake has nice waves, and those waves become the waves of your cittavṛttis. And it draws you to that soul. The soul is where you would like to come. Or a stormy sea. My God. Waves 30 meters up, down, this, that. That’s now the modern music, my God. When I mistakenly see in the music, in the television, my blood pressure goes to Jupiter. My finger goes directly to the red point. And wondering, thousands of people are just in so bad air in the trance. No wonder that the world is full of stress and aggressivity. I don’t know how to release this aggressivity. And they think through this they will get something out. But it’s a big damage to their brain, to their emotion. Many things. There is another kind of music which makes you sad and depressed. In the Nāda yoga there is also Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. These are three different kinds of resonance, the sounds. If there is vocal sound inside, not only instrumental, then the vocal sound supports you more to go in that direction. So when it’s more hot music, and then there’s some kind of song that makes you more crazy, it leads you in that direction. And a very calm spiritual song, and words that lead you to spirituality. The aim of human life is finally to come to eternal peace, and not in the clouds of the thunderstorm. That’s it. So in that bhajan, when there were nice bhajans on the radio coming, immediately Gurujī pressed the recording point button. When the cassette was full, I can tell you, sometimes it came with the post, and I have those cassettes. Unfortunately, I gave it to Navī Sādhu Chidānand, and I don’t know what he did. All disappears. I’m sad about that. Look at the love of the Gurudeva for the disciple. So Gurujī wrote with his own hand on that cassette, "Dear Mahesh, these bhajans I have selected for you, like a best gardener will select the best flowers to make a garland." That’s the love of Gurudev. So don’t think that your Gurudev doesn’t care about you. And in that, there was one bhajan which, I’m guessing, is unfortunately lost by Chidānanda. O Lord, I want to give you that flower, the flower which I want to give you, dedicate to you. Phul medundan paya, that flower I couldn’t find. I searched through the desert, mountains, meadows, hills, banks of the rivers, and the shores, but I couldn’t find that flower. But Lord, definitely that flower is there, but maybe it was my mistake, or I was not capable, that I could try more to find that flower. So when you hear such bhajans, and you are meditating, it leads your consciousness, uplifting. Yes, one thing. You have to understand the language. That’s true. Many of you know by my translations. And unfortunately, many translations by many good English-speaking people—there are scholars in English—so they translated so well that you can’t understand anything. Poetry has different meanings, and it’s nearly impossible to put that bhāva, those feelings, into a different language. For example, we say in Hindi "sukha," and "sukha," there’s no translation. Sukha, you may say happiness, but for happiness, we have another word. Khushi and, or comfortable. You will translate comfortable. Sukha. But we have comfort in the word called āram. So there is no word called sukha. And we cannot translate that exactly. You will not understand. And duḥkha also you cannot translate. All you can say is pain, or trouble, or unhappiness, or obstacles, and so on. Sukh, dukh, sukh means that you can’t translate, but sukh means happiness, joy. And dukh means painful things. So similarly, if you listen to bhajans, of course good things have a good energy, but if you understand the words, that uplifts you, that means for you, it is something. Therefore, your own language is great, so you have to put all this in your language. So on the day when you will find what you were searching for, that time your joy is indescribable, your happiness is indescribable. You get immediate strength and energy. A little example: you know, there is one big worm called a leech. We have many in our lake here, and they suck the blood. When she bites you, then you pull her away. May it break the neck, or mouth, or the head of this lake. But will not leave mouth open. You can pull it. Only when it will be full. It can’t suck anymore. Till mouth full, then will fall down. So when you find that love, that point that thinks what you are searching, then you are like that hungry. You are sucking. Nothing is more interesting for you, no more search, and that is God. Suddenly, when you find that, then... Everything is senseless, meaningless, hopeless, nothing. And so, secondly, that one got a lot of disappointments. And we are searching for that which will remain with us forever. But you know, when that will come, your heart will feel it. So don’t decide only emotionally. Use also vivekā, not only intellect, and wait. And you know, when someone is searching, and disappointment, and again searching, and if someone finds something, even if it’s wrong, and you tell, as a father or mother, "My child, this is not good." Your own child will be so angry with you. This is Kali Yuga. It’s my life. It’s my decision. Who are you to tell me? Now I am grown. My whole life I was following you, and I was waiting until I would be 19, 20, 35. No, you have nothing to say. So parents should be very careful. Protect us, God, from such a reaction of the kids, or anybody else. One and a half years ago, one lady who is sitting here, but I don’t want to tell her name, she brought one man and asked, "You know, what do you think about him?" I said, "Very good." I always think good about anybody. And internally I say, it’s too late that you ask me what I think about this. If I say it’s not good, either you will be angry or sad, or that new love—I don’t know what he will do to me. So it is said, protection is in protection. Sometimes, say good. You cannot say so clearly. You must have a heart like a German. Germans are very clear and very good. They will answer. This is then coffee. It’s your problem, so therefore, that one is gone. So that is like a petrol flame, and that’s not yours. Wait. Wait one life. Two lives. Three lives. Four lives? Yes, wait. Don’t worry. 8.4 million different creatures. So you have time to repeat it all. You had one man or woman. Partner, and now you gave up and you’re searching second. And searching fourth and fifth. What are you searching in that? Everything is the same. That’s it. So it is a human that humans have to decide. What I should have, what I can give. Don’t try to take. Give. And when you come to that point, then there will be light coming to you. Not that emotional love, you know. And really, in reality, neither you nor anybody else is searching for sexuality only. That may be for some days. We are searching for someone, a human, a human to the human. How nice when you come home and someone is waiting for you with a warm heart and is telling you, "How are you? How was the day?" And not when you come home and find a piece of paper. Darling, I love you, but sorry to say to you. I think we don’t understand, and this is my goodbye to you. I’m not coming anymore. Anyhow, take care. Bye. Many times, it happens like this. Many times, that’s called one without feeling. Love is that which becomes your own skin. Separation is like someone is pulling out your skin, and that is a universal love, the God’s love. And when we find that, then we are so concentrated, the entire universe is manifested inside. And so that’s why it is said, Akhila Satguru Charaṇāmṛtam. My eyes are dedicated to my Gurudev’s lotus feet. Beautiful. So, tomorrow at 11 o’clock, I will translate this bhajan. And in the evening, 5:30, I think, is our webcast. Special exercises for the back pain. This time we decided on theoretical, spiritual, or philosophical lectures and practical sessions. And evening, after dinner, eight o’clock. We will be going to the hill, Strelka Hill, up and have evening meditation on sunset that will be recorded, and afterwards it will be released. Until then, I wish you all the best. And if someone didn’t like my words, or it was not acceptable or painful for you, please excuse me. Because you know, I’m an old man. I’m from some other centuries. And many are from this decade, so maybe you have other imagination. But young or old, the reality is one. And therefore, what I talk about is what is human dharma, what it means to be a human, and what is the aim of the human. With this, all the best. God bless you. Take care. And till next time, and we will see you again.
