Alakhpurījī Mahādeva kī jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān kī jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Purījī, Gurujī Devakī kī jai. Worldly life means everything—your property, your house, everything. But how far does that Gurudev follow the soul? To bring the soul of the bhakta, the devotee, the disciple, to the Brahmaloka takes time. The biggest mistake a disciple can make, the greatest error a bhakta can commit, is to first say, “Okay, I will do it tomorrow.” “We will do it the day after tomorrow.” And sometimes today we are distributing chocolate after satsaṅg, okay? So if children want, then they can be silent. Otherwise, they can go outside and have ice cream. “I will do it next year.” “When this work is done, then I will do it.” Neither do you say no. They give up and go away. Do not expect that in some days, a few months, or a few years you will receive a miracle. There is only one miracle: that you will go away. That miracle means you have no miracles. So do not expect that you go to the doctor and the doctor gives you an injection and now you feel better. Such a soul has to wait long in the waiting list of other lokas. There are many, many different lokas. Also, you speak of hell, heaven, and many others in the fire, etc. In Christianity as well. That is exactly taken from what we call the Purāṇas. The writings of the Purāṇas are many, many thousands of years old, and this new religion, with a few thousand years, has accepted this, which is good. We should accept what is good, and we should not accept what is bad. Therefore, when you expect many things, many disciples say, “I was with that master, and I didn’t get any experiences. He didn’t give me anything.” He gave you a blessing. And that blessing will remain until the end of your path to the Brahmaloka. That will lead you once when Gurudev puts his hand on your head. That is called the shelter of the guru, and it will protect the disciple until the end. But do not think that in this year, or next year, or in this life, it will happen. Can you think of your karma in this life? What have you done? How many things? How many times have you married and divorced? How many times have you been with one person and then given up? How many times have you been angry? Many, many things. There is no way out anymore, and finally, they seek the shelter of the holy saint. When there is no way out, there is nowhere left to go. So be happy that now the purification has taken place. But there are tons and tons and tons of the Lord there in your soul. To dig it out takes time. But when one says yes, then it will bring you there. However, when you have negative thoughts, you go away and you try to say it was not good, this, this… this. Then you also have parallel difficulties. So there will be difficulties. As it is said in the Guru Gītā, you listen word by word, therefore do not expect any miracles. And if you want to expect miracles, then you will become psychically ill: depression, hallucination, wrong imagination. Do not say it, do not believe that Svāmījī will give me liberation today. Of course, I can give you liberation. I will tell Parvati, “Send this person away, hurry home.” That I can do now, but I will not do this. So, ages and ages, lives and lives—but be sure that Gurudev will not let you be lost in darkness. Gurujī told one story. There was one farmer who had a small farmhouse and a little land. It was about two or three kilometers far from the village, and he was living there. His wife died. She had one son. So the father and son were working in the field. One day, a saint, a sādhu, was moving, walking by that farmhouse. And he felt there was some soul longing for something. So he went to that farm, and there was a man about fifty years old, and he was so happy to see the Svāmījī. He quickly ran and brought a nice bed or chair to sit on, and brought him nice milk to drink. In that time there was no coffee and no tea, you know; either yogurt, lassi, milk, or juice, etc. And that farmer told him, “Svāmījī, please stay here some days.” So he said, “Okay, I have no problem, I have no duties, I am not bound to anything, I can stay. I have no fixed time to go somewhere—seminar, this, this…” That is called prapañca. So he stayed there. Every evening there was a satsaṅg, and the farmer and his son, both of them were listening, that’s all. And Svāmījī himself, the third one. So the farmer said, “Please stay more.” And the neighbors were coming. Well, one day, Svāmījī decided, “Now I will go.” The farmer said, “Guru Dev, you are my Guru, you gave me mantra, everything. You create so much attachment. I am so much attached to you, Gurudev. I can’t survive without you.” Gurujī said, “No problem, it will be. I will always be with you.” He said, “Yes, but I would like to go with you.” Gurujī said, “Okay, let’s go.” “Yes, but there is now… but I will go, but still my feeling, my attachment, my sorrow towards my son—he did not marry yet. I will organize his marriage, and then, Gurudeva, I will go.” In old times, people used to think very deeply about families—to which family should my daughter marry, or to which daughter should my son marry? That was the time when people were happier. Now they are marrying every day and going away every day. Now it is ariyob dasat. That is why all mankind is suffering. It doesn’t matter, boy or girl, they are suffering and getting more and more problems and difficulties, that’s it. He said, “Gurū Dev, when my son is married, then I will go.” After a few years, by chance, Gurujī came, and the farmer was very happy. And then Gurujī said, “After two days, I am going.” “Oh, your son is married?” “Yes, Gurujī. My son is married, and I’m so happy and lucky that my daughter-in-law, she is Lakṣmī—like a goddess. Since she came into my house, when she stepped into my house, Gurudev, it changed everything so positively.” You must know, when you are properly married, you are not marrying for sex. You are marrying for a happy, healthy, peaceful, divine life. If you don’t find that, it doesn’t matter. Don’t marry. Don’t go into hell. Every day, I’m getting letters, you know. Mostly all consultation about husband or wife—yes, but you don’t think. At least you should educate your children and take care of that. So Gurujī said, “Then let’s go.” “Yes, Gurudev, that is my burning desire. But, Gurudev, my son is alone. And you know, if you are a householder, you are a married person, you must see a child. Otherwise, Pitraloka—I will be in the Pitraloka. I will bring the Paṇḍitjī there.” My dear, it is a story. This is a fairy tale, but it happens. So he said to his daughter-in-law, “Putravatī Bhāva,” this is a blessing. Putravatī Bhāva means: “See me, I bless you with a beautiful son.” That old man was so happy, so happy. After three years, Gurujī came again, and he said, “Oh, I am so happy. But you know, Gurujī, the wedding cost so much money. I had to borrow money from others, so I have to give it back. Otherwise, my son—he is so innocent—people will come and take all the property away.” That is why now people don’t marry in the traditional way. It costs them only a few crowns to go and sign a piece of paper, and then you are married. It’s only a piece of paper. You were married already long ago. That is not a marriage, a human marriage. So don’t cry, don’t ask Paṇḍitjī anymore that you want to marry him. Paṇḍitjī is already married. Yes, this is stupid thinking. When it is in your kismet, it will come. Such a husband is like a sun rising, or a wife who, when she enters your house, brings wealth, harmony, divine prosperities. That is a wife. That is the son of the husband. Nowadays, there are… But you spoiled it already before. The watermelon is still not ripe, and you cut it off. Hari Om Tat Sat. So, meanwhile, the old man died, and Gurujī came again. The farmer’s son came and said, “Gurujī, my father died.” Gurujī said, “That is life.” Gurujī was meditating: where has the soul gone? And what happened? That soul came as a cow, a beautiful cow. And he spoke with it through that which is called Sūkṣma, the astral soul to soul. “Now, do you want to come with me?” “Guru Dev, there is no guru in the whole world like you. Thank you. But still, I have to help my son pay back all the debt.” The Master went. After five years, Svāmījī came and said, “How is your…” (it was beautiful). He said, “Master Gurudev, it was beautiful. After one and a half years, I was working, harvesting. But where is he?” He had been working so hard, without rest, that one day he fell down and died. Well, as God wished. He meditated again, and there was a little puppy, a little dog puppy, moving its tail in front of Gurujī. He had taken birth as a dog (kutte kā janm). Now he dissolved, went down to the dog, and said, “Now, do you want to come with me?” “Gurudev, my only wish is this: what a great Gurudev you are, you always take care of me. Then let me go with you. Yes, Gurudev, this is my burning desire, but you know, I work so hard, and I grew so many crops, I harvested a lot, I paid back everything. But still, my son and his wife, they sleep so deeply, and thieves can come and steal everything. Gurudeva, the whole night, without closing my eyes, I am watching and guarding, so no one can enter the house.” Gurujī said, “Okay, when will you go with me?” “Gurudev, when I have one wish: to see my grandson. Then my stairs are golden stairs to heaven. Gurudev, it is like a lift.” Gurujī went. One night, thieves came, and the thieves said, “We can’t go into this house—always this dog is making noise, walking. He wakes up, so we have no chance to steal something.” They took a gun and killed him. After one year, or two years, his son got a son—a beautiful little baby, about three or four months old. The farmer’s son was working in the field, and his wife went to bring water from the well. She was drawing water, and this beautiful new child lay in the cradle. In those days they had a cradle, like Kṛṣṇa’s—nowadays you don’t have one. You are always putting the child here, and the child goes like this, and there is no oxygen. It is not good to have a child like that. Some people think, “Oh, on the heart.” This is not good. Children need more oxygen. Someone told me, it was in Russia, someone got this technique that the child should be here. A mother went somewhere for a walk, in winter, minus 30 degrees, and she was wrapping the child tightly, and the child was crying and crying. She went to the doctor, and when she opened the cloth, the child got oxygen. So the doctor said, “He is not crying from pain, he is crying for the oxygen.” So do not hang your child on your back or like this. When hanging on the back, sometimes the neck hangs like this. My dear children, learn how to get a child, but take care of the child first. These girls don’t know; suddenly they are surprised they are pregnant. Before getting a child, you must have two days of training, or two years of training, from your mother, your mother-in-law, your doctor, a nurse—everything: what to do, how to do. Otherwise, come to me. That I will not tell. So, this child was in the cradle. The mother went to bring water, about fifty meters away. The father, the young father, was working in the field, about a hundred meters away. The child was in the cradle, and the sun was rising. A strong sun fell on the child’s face, and the child felt unpleasant. That old man, who had been a dog, had now become a snake hidden under the treasure where the money is. In the life of the snake, the cobra, that grandfather felt great pity. “My grandchild is suffering from the sunlight.” The cobra came and put its hood like this. And smiling, it thought, “My grandson, my grandson, how come the cobra is smiling with its tongue?” There was love, attachment, and the Gurudeva is following step by step. The mother came, carrying a pot on her head, and she saw the cobra near her son. What she did—maṭkī paṭkī—she threw the pot down. She was screaming, and the cobra said, “Why are you so hurt? He is my grandson.” The young farmer came running, brought a big long stick, and he was beating the cobra. Guru Dev arrived first. He saw this and said, “Please wait, wait… wait. Don’t kill him like this. I will give the Gāyatrī Mantra so he will get mokṣa.” The farmer said, “Gurudev, the biggest Gāyatrī Mantra is my stick. Soon I will give him liberation.” Gurudev said, “Wait, wait.” Gurujī caught that cobra in his hand, speaking with the astral body. “Farmer, bhakta, now can you go with me? See what your condition is now. In life, in the form of the cobra,” that farmer said, “Svāmījī, what have I done to you? Why are you all the time behind me? Whether they kill me or not, they are my family. Please, let me be alone.” Gurujī said, “Now I will not talk to him, because he has already gone—the soul has gone to the reptilian.” This is the lowest form of life: no legs, no hands, no ears. Well, so that died, the snake died. Gurujī is following his soul. So that soul became like a worm, which became like a moth. Early morning, Brahmamūrti, before sunrise, the Apsarās, the angels, used to bring lotus flowers for the worship of Bhagavān Viṣṇu. So what did Gurujī do? He made a miracle. That worm, from the mud, was sitting; Gurujī put him in a lotus flower, and in the evening, the lotus flower closed. The angels came at four o’clock in the morning, and they took that one lotus for the pūjā to Bhagavān Viṣṇu. And as it came to the lotus feet of Bhagavān Viṣṇu, the lotus petals opened. And that man looked at Bhagavān Viṣṇu and got mokṣa. So, how does the Gurudeva lead your soul further and further? Even if your karma is getting worse and worse, one day it will be that you will get into the Brahmaloka. Purījī, Purījī…
