Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva kī Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Gurudeva kī. Very good evening to everybody. I am very happy to see you again, especially here in this part of Hungary, the Puszta, in this very peaceful, very nice town of Debrecen. As our dear brother Kriyanan told you, we are practicing yoga in daily life. The light of Śrī Mā Prabhujī has been here for nearly two decades. Our coming together has a great meaning. It is like regenerating spiritual energy, like giving water to a drying plant. It refreshes our memories and supports our motivation towards spirituality, which should lead us towards our divine goal. You all know well that the goal of human life is self-realization, Ātmā Jñāna. The creator has created 8.4 million different creatures, divided into three categories: Jalacara, Thalacara, and Nalacara—creatures living in water, on earth, and in the air. These are the 8.4 million forms. Of course, within one form there are billions. We all belong to this planet, traveling within this solar system. This planet is known as a Mṛti-loka, a mortal world. It is such that those who come to this planet one day have to go back. What goes away has to come back. We have a very deep relation with this planet. It is our love, our attachment, our destiny. There is always a force calling us back, like a magnet and iron. We are related; we all have the same basis, the same roots. We are all made of the five elements. All creatures have the same color of blood. We all have the same principles of life and death. And we all have the same Ātmā. But we are individual as souls. Make corrections in your notebooks: the soul and the Ātmā are different. Each individual soul has its own destiny, and destiny is created through our karma. Destiny is the result, the fruit, the production of our karma. In this cycle of rebirth and death, we are traveling through endless space, fluttering on the waves of time, going through darkness and light, experiencing happiness and unhappiness, pain and pleasure, unity and separation. We come together and we separate again. This individual is like a boat on the ocean, drawn by the wind and waves in different directions. These waves are our destiny. We are conscious of being an individual on this mortal world as well as in the astral world. Often we are very unhappy because we create many relations: mother, father, children, brothers, sisters, partners, and friends. It is pleasant to come together, but painful to separate. Separation causes immense pain. Yet, with this kind of pain, we are more and more connected to each other and to this planet—though life here is not easy. We experience many disappointments, pains, and loneliness. Therefore, this individual does not want to separate from this body. But we do not understand our body. We do not accept what is happening to it. The dharma of the body is to be born, grow, and die. We accept that it is born, we accept that it is growing, but we don't understand and we don't accept that it dies. The body is mortal and belongs to this planet. But the Ātmā is immortal. The soul has a temporary function, but through the soul you experience and wander through the whole universe. Every one of us has our own destiny. Our parents can give us only birth; they cannot give us destiny. Destiny is created individually. It must not be a bad destiny; it can be a good one too. But mostly, it ends with pain and disappointment. Whatever you think will make you happy in this world will one day make you unhappy. This life is connected with that suffering. Sometimes it's unbearable, and sometimes it's happy. But you know, death is very cruel, for death does not matter how you die. For death, only one thing matters: that you die. And you know that all of us, sooner or later, will be victims of death. We cannot escape. Death is running, walking, and sitting parallel to us, only waiting for the chance. And the chance means death. We have died many, many times. Consciously we don't know about that, but our inner self knows, and that is why we are all afraid of it. We don't know who will be the first. Don't think that someone who is old will die first. Sometimes the young die first. But death for the Ātmā does not mean anything. This Jīvātmā, this individual soul, is just changing its dress. When you wear your dress for one or two days, you like to change it. When a dress gets very old, you like to change it. When you take a fresh dress, you feel very good. When you have a new dress, you go in front of the mirror and look: "Oh, how beautiful I am looking." So that is the dress of the Jīvātmā, the soul; it is the body. And this dress will be gone one day. After all this, what is the purpose? The purpose is to come to the origin, where there are no more changes, no more suffering, only Ānanda, supreme bliss. That is very important to realize. And that can only be realized through the human intellect. The difference between other creatures and humans is this: the human intellect can be trained endlessly. The human intellect also needs education. Oh human, why do you worry about your life? Who gave you life? He has arranged everything for you. You will get everything that you deserve, and what you don't deserve, you will not get. Therefore, be content. Inside, be relaxed and accept the destiny, and try to come back to the origin. That is called Ātmā Jñāna, self-realization. The body is given to us as an instrument. Use this instrument not for fulfilling your physical desires. Blind are they, ignorant are they, who depend and concentrate only on fulfilling physical desires. The heroes are they who are above everything. Of course, it is not easy, but for those who are spiritually developed, it is very easy. If you are a good driver, a good mechanic, and you know that your car will not survive driving on the highway, and still you do it, an accident will happen that will take your life. Similarly, the wise one knows that desires are those cars which are completely destroyed, but still you are driving your feelings with them. Then be sure you will not come to Ātmā Jñāna. Tons of theory is nothing compared to a grain of practice. You may read, you may speak, but you do not have that knowledge, the knowledge of the self. So human life is given for only one purpose: to get self-realization, to know thyself, that you are the supreme Ātmā. Otherwise, you have to repeat miserable lives—you never know how many millions of times. Go to the pig farm. Did you never ask yourself what destiny they have? Go to the chicken farm. All these animals, which are tortured by humans, did you ever ask what destiny they have? And did you ever ask yourself? Maybe you were once among them, one of them. Did you ever think it could happen that you will be one of them? Don't think that you will always be born as a human, and don't think that you will come to heaven easily. You have to deserve to come to heaven. This is a bitter truth. Some people don't like to listen to this, but you know, reality cannot be changed. No religion, no culture, no politics, no mentality, no philosophy can change the reality. Truth is ever... Truth, the evidence of that truth, will never die. Therefore, God was very gracious to us that He gave such a beautiful human life, and He gave the intellect. This intellect needs spiritual education. Otherwise, to eat, to drink, to create children, and to work—animals are also very active. If humans are only trying to do this, then there is very little difference. Therefore, think peacefully, meditate. Who are you, and what is the purpose of your life? After all this, finally, we have to find Satguru Deva and follow the Gurudeva's teachings. Don't go here and there. Don't change your spiritual master like you change your thoughts. It will not help you. You have to stick to one path. You have to decide, and be in a hurry to decide. You never know when is the end of this life. Therefore, you have to practice. Begin. Nothing is more important in life than to practice. Follow the Guru Vākya. Therefore, one of the disciples of Śrī Mahāprabhujī said in one of his bhajans: follow, obey, follow the words of the Satguru Deva. When you follow the Guru Vākya, then something will happen in you. And what is that? What will happen? What you have to do is to follow the words of Gurū Deva. Don't think that in one summer you will practice yoga and then in winter you will forget—"it's too cold," and "now I have to marry." This is one of the biggest problems. To marry is one of the biggest problems, but to get divorced is even bigger than to marry. So this is not a problem, so don't change. But how to follow? We don't understand. If we understood, we would follow. So it is said that you have to root out two problems, and these two problems are the biggest problems. Chalabho nema dharam kā bīja oṁ kā bonā hai, bhai. Bīja oṁ kā bonā hai, nibāna hai. Nibāna hai satya gurūjī kā bachana, nibāna hai satya gurūjī kā bachana. Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jaya. Calma krodha ko dūra hatao. If you wish to follow the teachings of the Gurudeva and the holy persons, if you wish to realize Ātmā Jñāna, then remove two things. Root them out. Calm the passion, sexual desires. These desires have killed all creatures and have made so many humans' lives miserable. And always you think, "I get new Mary, I get new Mary, I get new Mary. Better, I will have other Marys." This is all your biggest ignorance. All men are equal. Don't think, "This husband is not good, I will have another husband, and I will have another husband." The husband is like a band playing drums, and it will play sound as you play. So how you tune the instrument will have the dead sound. So don't think that the next man will be better. I can tell you, all men are beautiful and nice, and no man is better than the one you have just now. And no wife can be more beautiful and best than the one you have just now. You are not born just to choose husband and wife. Husband and wife animals can have also. Mother and father animals can have also children. Animals can have also. But Satguru Deva can have only humans. But between you and Satguru Deva is one problem: that is your desires. This is the one. Second, Krodha. Krodha means anger, and there are many different kinds of anger. Jealousy is anger, complexes are anger, hate is anger, greediness is anger, sorrow is anger. These are emotions which have many different faces. So the desires and anger too don't let you come up calm. And krodha is fire. Krodha is the devil, and that devil will destroy everything. Therefore, remove them far away. Purify and fill this body. Clean this body from the desires, from the angers, from greediness, and from the not good nourishment. Be disciplined, regularly disciplined. So cultivate your field with your daily practices. It is your daily practices that will help you. Like a farmer: first he takes all the stones and bushes out of the field, then he goes with the tractor; he is cultivating. Then bīja oṁ kā bonā hai—then the mantra will come. When your heart, the field of your heart, is clean, pure, and ready, then Gurudeva will come and will give you the mantra. Without mantra, your sādhanā cannot be completed. You may do whatever you want; no mantra, no success. This body is like a statue which has no soul inside, and so you have to practice as much as you can. Do it: your mantra, walking, talking, working, meditating, doing āsanas. Each mantra, when you repeat once, is like you put one dollar in your bank. So as many times as you repeat your mantra, that is how many dollars you will have in your bank, meaning the credit in your spirituality, the spiritual bank. If you repeat per day a million times, you have a million. In two days, two millions; three days, three millions; ten days, ten millions. And if you practice in ten days only three times, then your account is empty. This worldly money will not go with you, but your spiritual money—repeating of your mantras, meditations, and spirituality—that will go with you. You will have in the astral world, in heaven, the golden card. You can access anywhere. That is spirituality. So, it depends on you and this money which you have. Spiritual money means the mantra. No thieves can take it away, and it will never get less, and you will have day-by-day interest on it. Therefore, repeat it. It is said that no breath should go empty. Each and every breath, in going and out coming, should be full of the mantra. In one year, you will see your life is completely different. You will have a spiritual aura. Richness will come from your body. Don't miss one day. But do not practice mantra like a fixed thing. There are some people who put mantra on the tap, which is endlessly running. That is not spiritual; that is brainwashing. That is not good. When you have to work on something concentrated, maybe you leave your mantra aside. You should do everything that you are doing, all normal work. When you go to sleep, sleep by repeating mantra. Then, the whole night, your mantra will become a japa, and you will have very beautiful sleep. Therefore, it is very important that you have a mantra and you are practicing your mantra. Otherwise, you put one dollar in the bank and after five years say, "How much money do I have?" There is one dollar. "Why only one? I have five years mantra." Yes, you have, but you didn't put it in. Therefore, when the inner field is ready, your consciousness is ready, then mantra will function in you. What will happen then? Nibhāna hai, re Nibhāna hai, Satgurū jī kā bachana Nibhāna hai, re Nibhāna hai, re Nibhāna hai. Dayā dharmahari ālī chāi. Dayā dharmahari ālī chāi. Ī pāsā martī oṁ jā. Ī pāsā ālī chāi. Ī sat-gurukūpa batāyā bā, sat-gurukūpa batāyā bā. Ab to nir pilana hai, pyārey, ab to nir pilana hai, nir, nir... n. Beautiful green. All seeds which you put in the ground grow. That means dayā: compassion. Compassion towards all creatures. A spiritual love. That spiritual love awakes within you: kindness, love, attention towards all. But there is no water anymore, no rain. And it's drying out. It means there is no rain of wisdom, no rain of the blessing. But Gurudeva has shown us the water well. Now we must give water to these young plants. Which water well? Satsaṅg. In satsaṅg you get intuition, in satsaṅg you get motivation, in satsaṅg you get the wisdom, and that wisdom is like a nectar raining for your heart. Lucky are they who can go to satsaṅg, and unlucky are they who don't go to satsaṅg. It doesn't matter how far or how difficult the path is, kṛṣṇam sepan. But never miss the satsaṅg. And satsaṅg should be a satsaṅg: Mahāprabhujī's words, Mahāprabhujī's bhajans, Mahāprabhujī's līlāmṛta, and so on. And that is a water well, a well of nectar, endless. What happens now? Now come the fruits. Ab khetī meṁ nepe āī, ab khetī meṁ āī, sab sakhīyā mil ṭod na jāī, sab nepe ikaṭī karlo bāī. Now, my field is blossoming; the crops are ready to harvest. Which kind of fruits? The knowledge, the wisdom, the kindness, the fruits of humbleness, kindness, love, understanding. Now, all the ladies, all the workers in the field, they go to collect the fruits. Why ladies here? Ladies means our śūrta, our intention, our senses. Now, your senses are so happy, completely satisfied. All are concentrated on that wisdom. When in summer beautiful flowers are blossoming, all the bees go to collect the honey. They don't go to the dirt. You will never see a bee sitting on some toilet, because her nature is to go to the flowers to collect the nectar. But those who have no bee nature, having a nature of other flies which sit on the toilets, they will never sit to get the honey from the flowers. So those who have mantra, those who are pure in their heart, and inside is blossoming, all feelings, all senses, they are concentrated on that. Crops going automatically to the satsaṅg. No one is invited to satsaṅg, but everyone must go. Recently, you know, we were in Kumbh Melā, and you know how many millions of people were bathing? More than 25. And no one had an invitation to go to Kumbh Melā, but they came, and no one died from hunger. Everyone was happy. No one was blaming anyone. Why? You didn't organize properly, but they went with the love. Similarly, one automatically goes to satsaṅg. That person never says, "I don't like this person in satsaṅg, and I don't like this organizer, and I don't love this." It means you are that fly. He sits on the toilet, so you should be like a honeybee. Dhai, all went to collect. Nepe ikti karlo bhai, let us harvest our spiritual energy, our spiritual knowledge. Phir toh raas banana hai, and let us make some tools or some pots to carry it home. So your heart becomes that big pot, that vessel where you can collect this all. Your buddhi, your intellect, your brain becomes that endless pot. You can collect as much as you like, but what will you do with so much? Harvesting so much crops, what will you do? Therefore, it is said: Moolak pāya vāpar, ya tabh merā man mānā. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī raas banāyā, māl ghar lāyā. Now you have to be very careful. You have to concentrate. You have to follow the discipline. Create the discipline. Create the barriers between satsaṅg and kusaṅga. Do not go towards the kuśaṅga. Otherwise, you will lose everything. You know, many times, people, just because of one man, leave their entire spiritual families. And after five years, that man pushed this lady under the screwdriver, under pressure. Like your husband, you can say, like my husband, "Ras banāyā, madh ghar lāyā." You brought everything home. Means you brought now your cetanā, your concentration, yourself, to your own home. Means Ātmā Jñānam. When you gain spiritual energy, when you gain spiritual knowledge, don't keep it only for you. You cannot digest it. This awakening of the spiritual consciousness needs the flow. That means you should give satsaṅg, you should share your spirituality with others. Bechān ko bāzar siddhāyā—went to sell the goods in the market. And there I got a prize, very much, so much that people were not able to value it. When I spoke in the satsaṅg, when I appeared full of love and humbleness, that I had no doubts, no jealousy, no anger, only love, only wisdom, people said... "Oh, what a spiritual man or a woman, both." Then I was content, then I was satisfied that I have got this knowledge. How did I realize this? Prabhu dīpa kheti nip jai, prabhu dīpa kheti. Prabhu dīpa kheti nip jai, prabhu dīpa. Imaangilal kahe mere man bhai, māg Veerala santa jan meram pāī vira. Baiyāvadut rūp pisana hai. Nibbāna, Nibbāna, Satgurujī kā bachana Nibbāna, Nibbāna,... Mahāprabhujī kā bachana Nibbāṇa. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī prabhū, dīpa kṣetrī nipajai. Mahāprabhujī helped so that these crops or this harvesting was possible. And Mangilalji said, "Then I was content." Very few, or very rare, saints got this understanding or this hint. Very rare are those who understand the Guru Kṛpā, and who understand the Guru Kṛpā, they got the realization of Avadhūta. Avadhūta means the self-realized one, the one with the Supreme, One without second. And how? Through following the Guru Vākya. So, therefore, my dear ones, life is very precious, but very short. And this life is given to realize God within our consciousness, to know thyself, who you are. For that, this life is given.
