We are on the chapter from the book Hidden Powers in Humans, where we speak of the most beautiful things that exist in the human phenomenon: the journey through the astral world, the transition through different levels of consciousness, experiences in this physical and astral world, and spiritual experiences—those which are spiritual and those which are not. Each and every creature is the light of God. Each and every entity is connected to the Cosmic Mother. That cosmic light, energy, and consciousness dwells in every entity. But humans are different. Humans can realize this and liberate themselves. Humans can transfer this power to others if they have realized it, if they have awakened those energies within themselves. That is the most beautiful thing that exists in humans. Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. That is the work of the Master, what we call Guru and you call Master. There are many different Gurus. Even your car driver, who teaches you to drive, is your driving Guru (Vaš učitelj vožnje je vaš guru vožnje). Your driving guru can save your life and the lives of others (On može spasiti Vaš život i živote drugih). Any profession you learn from someone makes them your guru (Sve ono što naučite od nekoga, taj je bio vaš guru). Your swimming guru, riding guru, biking guru, skiing guru (One koje Vas je naučio skijati, plivati). Therefore, I often smile when Western newspapers write about "Guru." It means they do not understand; they are writing about themselves. A journalist is a guru. A journalist's writing should lead people to freedom, liberation, and happiness. You put your wisdom in the newspaper. Your writing should not frighten people, should not make them dependent (Vaše pisanje ne bi trebalo ljude činiti ovisnima), and should not confuse them (Vaše pisanje ne bi trebalo zbunjivati ljude). Your writing should create in them confidence, faith, love, and trust (Ono bi u njima trebalo pobuditi ljubav, vjeru i vjerovanje). Your writing is like a Guru Vākya. A spiritual writer always writes spiritually, and people cut out such articles and keep them at home. Many books have been written, but rare are the holy books. Krishna did not write the Bhagavad Gītā, God Rāma did not write the Rāmāyaṇa, and Jesus did not write the Bible. People wrote them afterward, and we adore these books. It is said that when you hold your pen, it is no longer in your power. It is Mother Saraswatī, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Vidhātā, the Goddess of Destiny. As without a will, your pen moves, and that comes out in your writing. Therefore, whenever you write, pray to the Lord God and Saraswatī for her blessing. If you do not worship Saraswatī, your writing will be funny. When a student goes to write examinations, they should pray to Saraswatī. There is a special prayer and mantra for her. Try it, young students; your test, your writing, your examination will be the best—not only on the day of the exam, but every day. So, wisdom—that which gives you knowledge—is the guru. He removes the darkness of ignorance, and you should be faithful for life. On the day you do not follow your guru, on the day you do not follow your driving guru, an accident will happen. Your driving teacher did not tell you to drink and drive (Vaš učitelj vožnje vam nije rekao da pijete i vozite). How many accidents happen on the road because people drink alcohol and drive (I koliko se samo nesreća događa na putu zato što ljudi piju alkohol i voze)? Your driving guru did not tell you to drive as fast as you can (Isto tako, nije vam rekao da vozite što brže što možete). He told you, "Follow the road rules" (Rekao vam je da slijedite pravila na cesti). He did not say to overtake anywhere. If you overtake on any curve, an invisible curve, accidents will happen. It is the same principle in the material world, the astral world, and the spiritual world. So we are there in the beauty, the beauty of human consciousness. In the most beautiful garden, where there are many different beautiful flowers, you are the bee taking nectar from every blossom. These blossoms are opened through the love of bhakti, devotion. When there is no devotion, your spiritual garden will dry out. Where there is no love, the sense of life is finished. When there is no love, the human is lost—a lonely, unhappy, greedy, angry, jealous, and dispirited person (Sam, pohlepan, ljud, očajna osoba). That love, that contentment, that happiness is a universal principle, and it is within you. If you think the love of others will make you happy, forget it. The love that makes you happy today will one day make you unhappy. And you yourself, who make someone happy today, will one day be the cause of their tears. You have to pay back each tear of theirs; one tear you must pay with a thousand tears sooner or later. Evidence never dies. Justice will be justice. That is why you must dwell within the beauty of your inner garden. Then you will be happy forever. When you are within thyself, in this beautiful divine garden, your inner self sings beautiful songs. How happy you are! You are intoxicated with Divine Love, Divine Intoxication, Bhakti, Devotion, Love, Friendliness, Freedom, Understanding, Forgiveness. If you forgive someone, first you have forgiven yourself. If you are merciful to someone, first you are merciful to thyself. One who dwells within one’s Self has purified the antaḥkaraṇa—malabuddhi and malavikṣepaṇāvaraṇa—the antaḥkaraṇa: manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—and has opened all the cakras, is constantly moving in this inner beauty. Every chakra has its beauty, but you must understand and follow the discipline. It does not mean you can do whatever you want; it is not easy to open the chakras. It sounds good, but it is hard work. Rare are those who can open the centers. Bhakti devotion, the devotion, the devotion. Now we are in the Manipūra Chakra, the center of the digestive fire, the solar plexus, the prāṇa śakti, the hara power, the life forces. It is the first milestone in this life, where the manifestation of this physical body began. During the nine months in the mother’s body, this jīvātmā had to go through many processes and experiences. Many evidences had to be written, many karmic documents cleared up. God, destiny, Mother Nature gives you this beautiful body. Who takes care of you in your mother’s womb? There is a divine energy, a divine consciousness. If that Divine Mother, Divine Nature, or the Creator did not give you one eye, you would be born with one eye. No one can give you a second eye here. Or you are born with only one hand; no one can give you a second hand like this right one. Though you were in a limited space, He measured everything exactly—the exact measurement of both legs, both hands, the nose. If He had given the nose one meter long, you would be delivered. So you see, therefore, Devpurījī said God takes upon Himself the destiny of the devotees. We cannot be thankful enough to that One. You are proud of your body; you look in the mirror every day and think you are the most beautiful one in the world. But do you know who gave you this beauty? God. Mother Nature. Did you ever thank Him? Did you ever say, "Thank you for this beautiful body?" The great saint Kabīrdās Jī writes a beautiful spiritual song. Symbolically, he said this body is like the soul’s cloth. It is a very fine, gentle, fragile thing—to break this glass or this body. The body is the same; it does not take time. Aṣṭakamala Cakra Banāyā. He made the spinning wheel with the eight chakras. So it means first were the chakras, then the body, for chakras are the psychic centers. Pañca tattvakī puni—and these five elements, five tattvas. This is the material of the body. The body is made of five elements, and the weaver is God, who tuned it with the chakras. Aṣṭakamālaka Cakra Banāyā Pāñca Tatvakī Puni Navadāsa Masa Bunanko Lagā. It took nine to ten months to weave this cloth (Trebalo je devet mjeseci da se istka ovaj šal, this body). Everything: skin, hair, flesh, nerves, blood, bones, organs, glands, brain, heart, digestive system. All functions in the body. The perfect heavenly engineer, heavenly architect, within nine to ten months. What a beautiful body. Murk meli kini chadaryam—but a foolish one did not understand the body, did not understand this fine cosmic art, and destroyed it with drugs, alcohol, and many different things: negative thinking, anger, jealousy. Do you know what it means to have this body? It is your real house, the temple of your spirit. If there is a God in the universe, He is in your heart. Know thyself. Do you know what it means to have this body? This evening, before sleep, look in the mirror, open your eyes, and say, "My God, beautiful love, I don’t need any more smacking. What is smacking? I need no more; the makeup of God has makeup only." These are universal principles, and no one has copyright. For your beauty, no one has copyright. For your ears, no one has copyright. For your nose, no one has copyright—whether thick, long, upturned, or downturned. Anyhow, that is the beauty of creatures. Every creature is beautiful. It depends on what you mean by beauty. Is this beauty only for your eyes, or is it beauty for your heart? The beauty for the eyes is only surface, but the beauty of the eye is love. Who searches for beauty for the eyes only? That foolish one did not understand God. It does not matter how long you meditate, how many mantras you do with both hands—"Gurujī, Gurujī"—or how much you teach yoga and sit in front saying, "I am a yoga teacher." To teach yoga is beautiful. To be a teacher is divine, but you must be divine to teach. Lucky are they from whom wisdom comes. Guru Kṛpā is coming; otherwise, as soon as ego comes, it will be no more. It is not that you make postures, that you can do netī and naulī and this and that, no. We need your beauty—the beauty of your words, the beauty of your wisdom. We do not need the beauty of your body. Today you are like a bodybuilder; after 60 or 70 years, you will walk as if searching for something. People will ask, "What are you searching?" Because I was walking like this, and now I have to walk like that. Therefore, yoga is not this, what you call. Die within thyself.
