Bhajan singing from Strilky Ashram
22:25 - 23:06|Recorded on 22 Oct 2023
The mind is the root of all bondage and liberation. The mind is the only cause of both suffering and freedom. When the mind is attached to the world, it is bound. When the mind is turned towards the Divine, it is liberated. The world is an illusion projected by the mind's modifications. To know the Self, one must still the mind's constant chatter. This stillness is not inactivity but a state of pure awareness. In that awareness, the true nature of the Self is revealed.
"The mind is the only cause of bondage and the mind is the only cause of liberation."
"Where the mind goes, that is where you go; if the mind goes to God, you go to God."

A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage.
"O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet."
"Please remove all the chains of my karmas."

The human opportunity is singular; the mind must repeat the divine name. Surrender to the true Guru at whose feet all pilgrimages reside; he destroys doubts and bad qualities and grants liberation from worldly existence. Through his grace, one receives his vision and realizes the true Self. The Guru, established in the absolute, is the universe's protector and his glory is beyond description.
"Give your body and mind to Sāddhā Gurudeva, and he will destroy all your doubts and all your bad qualities."
"Through Guru Kṛpā, through the mercy of Gurū Deva, we receive his darśan. And at his holy lotus feet, we recognize the Ātmā."

Use your common sense!

Discerning Guru Vākya with common sense is essential. When a Guru speaks, the answer is often for the person asking, not for everyone. Hearing a reply meant for another does not make it Guru Vākya for you. Direct personal instruction from the Guru is for that disciple alone and should not be broadcast as a universal command. Consider the agarbattī example: modern chemical incense is harmful and prohibited, yet pure agarbattī was once used sparingly. This illustrates that context determines a teaching’s application. People frequently misuse the term Guru Vākya to force their own desires upon others. They wield it as a sword, as blackmail, claiming divine sanction for personal wishes. Common sense, viveka, must be exercised. Be aware of who relays the Guru Vākya; the source may distort it. Just as fake news spreads, false teachings circulate without knowledge. Do not be critical, but think about what is heard. Often, one only hears the Guru Vākya that aligns with personal wishes. What Grandma wants, Grandma will dream about. Being near the Guru can challenge the ego, causing inner conflict; this is normal. Only when empty inside, like the bamboo flute, can the divine play through you. Thus, discern with awareness, using common sense to navigate the multitude of sayings.
“If you are passing near the gaddi of Viśvagurujī, and somebody puts a question and you hear the answer, that answer is for that person. For that person, it is Guru Vākya. For you, maybe it is not.”
“Mostly people use Guru Vākya, only that kind of Guru Vākya which is going to my wishes, what I want.”

Satsaṅga reveals the universal path of truth and unity.
Satsaṅga means good company. It is the company of sattva, the very essence of everything. Sattva is truth itself. Sat is truth, and truth alone is truth. This truth pervades the entire world. The divine presence moves everywhere, in all places. Truth is not only for humans but for all beings. Like a mother follows her child, the divine cares for all. All are to come together and stay as one. There are many countries and many languages, yet beyond this diversity there is unity. All names and forms are secondary; the divine alone is the doer. The village Rupāvas symbolizes the spiritual home for all humanity. Humans are humans, beyond caste or creed. The name of the divine is love, Prem. This love pervades all hearts. The great light does everything; not the individual self, but the divine light alone acts.
"Sattya hī sattya hai"
"Now we will not say which caste it belongs to. Our caste is of one India."
