Good. This is our third meeting, and we begin today with some questions and answers. If you have questions, please ask. Question 1: Ancestral Pain and Ceremony Yesterday, when you spoke about ancestors, she felt that all her ancestors went over her in some way. She felt a lot of pain from their dying, cried very much, and still feels this. She asks if it is normal. Yes, it is normal, and now you should do something. Just as she already is doing. There is a very beautiful ceremony according to the ancient Vedas and mantras, to free and remove their negative influence on us. This ceremony should be performed either on the birthday of the ancestors, on the day of their death, or during a special 14-day period for the ancestors. This tradition is thousands of years old. You also have something similar at the beginning of November in Christianity, the day of all souls. There is a kind of ceremony, pūjā. Can you do it if you know someone here in Mexico City, some paṇḍit, that you can find through the Indian Culture Center or some temples? You will really find a great change in your life. You will find peace, and things will again begin very positively and come into order. Or it could be organized. I can try to organize someone from the USA or somewhere. I don’t know if they have time, or if you travel to the USA? Generally, it is done in India; there is one place called Gayā—Bodh Gayā, we call it now. Buddha became enlightened there. In very critical situations, people go there. You really find inner peace in many things. Question 2: A Mother’s Love and Separation Yesterday, you spoke about the love of the mother, the blessing of the mother. I have two daughters. They are alone with me. On Monday, the little one will go to Holland to study. I’m very happy in one way for her, but I feel sad. You spoke about this... attachment. I got the teachings very, very deep yesterday from you. The question is, what do you recommend? Due to circumstances, I will not be able to do certain things. So, what do you suggest? How to have the family together, as you spoke? Because she’s going now, and I will also go to another place to work in another town. I have another home to go to, and all the road up. Yes. The love grows even over a great distance. Pure love. There is no doubt. There is no fear. When there is only a selfish love on the surface and the person goes away, then love dies slowly, slowly. It creates doubts and jealousy. You should, as a mother, give her good advice: what to do, what not to do, where to go, where not to go. Nowadays, through the internet and telephones, you can often be in touch. As a good-hearted mother and a good, loving daughter, you will always be together in this way. This evening, I will give you something so you can give it to her whenever she has difficulties or is unhappy. She should hold it in her hand, and it will help her. So we will think, what can we get for her? If there is an Indian shop, there is some little Gaṇeśa. In a store in India, Mirza will look for it, I hope. It’s a small Ganesh. Does she have an Indian shop? Ganesh is Mirza. Family is asking if you know any store of this type. Yes, sir. Okay. We have one Ganesh. I hope we can have it before the practice. Okay. You have only one Gaṇeśa? Do you have a small Gaṇeśa? Okay. Do you have some small crystals? Crystals, crystal. Okay, if you can bring the Ganesha or some crystals, maybe some people also would like. So, for everyone who would like, they can, of course. You have to pay her. I don’t know the cost. For my blessings, you don’t have to pay anything. Question 3: The 27 Generations Yesterday you mentioned that there is a relationship of 27 days or 27 generations. Could you explain a little more? It was not quite clear. It means that your genetic relation is not only physical, but it goes emotionally, with your intellect, with your behavior, with your feelings. And then it goes till the soul, and from there, peace in the soul, then it dissolves into the universe. But good connection, not bad. We don’t even know, till the 27th generation, who it was or who it will be. You don’t know your grandfather’s grandfather’s name. We have no family dynasty. Therefore, it’s very important to keep the family book. Now you begin from where your father, mother came, where their parents were. So find out, make a family history till now and for our children. Then give this to your grandchildren, to your children. That is something beautiful and research work. In old times, the whole histories were kept; there were special people who kept the history of the kings, as well as the history of other people. So we don’t know them, but we can pray. It’s a beautiful mantra. She can then, afterward, write and give it to you. This mantra is a victory over death. Victory over all the obstacles in the astral plane. We don’t know who our great-grandfathers and grandmothers were, and we don’t know how they were, good or bad, but we do hope they were very good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so good. So what we have now is from our parents. And what our parents have is from their parents. What you work and how you will work, it goes to your children. So there is one mantra called the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra, the victory over the great death. Chant it five times in the morning when you get up, after the bath and so on. You take a little water. And very slowly, like this. Or you can take water in the hand. Look: Oṁ Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt. On some plant, you pour water, chant this mantra, and pour water. For example, on a house plant you definitely have, or on some nice stone, a symbol of Shiva. That is called Abhiṣeka, for peace, harmony, and liberation. For you, for your family, to bless with harmony and peace in the family, and to liberate all my ancestors. Oṁ Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt. Five times. So you have to take water in a nice little jar or cup, and you can do it like this, okay? It will give you strength. I will write you the mantra. Everyone can have this mantra. It’s a very, very ancient, thousands and thousands of years old mantra. Question 4: Reincarnation from Human to Animal Can you explain to us how the reincarnation from a human to an animal is saved? You see, the soul is like a balloon, and the balloon flows in the direction in which the wind blows. The soul goes in the direction where our karma, our destiny is. For the soul, it doesn’t depend on whether it goes into a human’s or an animal’s body. That is like a football. It doesn’t depend on one door. And it doesn’t depend on which player will shoot the ball into the goal. So there’s a football in the middle. Eleven players on this side, eleven players on that side. No one can tell now what the destiny of this ball is, and who will kick this ball into the goal. Now, there is a... from eleven, tens are in your favor, and elevens are against. And for them also, who have the ball, elevens are the supporters, tens are supporters, and elevens are against, including the goalkeeper. That is our great protector, who tries his best to protect. Now, what is the destiny of the ball? No one loves the ball. Everyone tries to kick it without mercy. True? When you kick two together, there is no one who will take the ball and say, "Oh, I’m sorry." Sometimes the ball goes out, and so on. Similarly, there are good karmas which protect us from going in the wrong direction. But there are also bad karmas which try to kick us there. We have good friends, and we have bad people too. Therefore, the decision is in the destiny, because the soul is everywhere. The soul is like a diamond, maybe 100 meters deep in the earth, or in the ocean, or in the dust, or in the dustbin, or in the jewelry shop, or on your ring. So you have the karma, you can choose the karma. If you want to do good or bad. But you can’t choose the fruits of that karma. Therefore, it must not be that the soul goes again to animal life. And it can go also to the animals. It can go to the reptilians. Yes, so that is why we should do good. Human actions are more effective than animal actions. Animal life is only to go through the destiny, but in human life, you can do something against it. Question 5: A Teacher’s Path Forward I am a teacher for 30 years, a teacher of physical education. In this moment of my life, I come to the point that I begin to question how to follow my life. Even though I have a family, two daughters, a life very beautiful, this moment I feel answers from here. Here, how to follow, to which direction, what to do. Well, happy to hear your question and happy to answer. You lived your life harmoniously and with a loving family. And you helped many, many young people through your teachings. You see, you cannot give health; you can only instruct how to gain health. In Āyurveda, it is said that the first happiness is good health. And some philosophers said that health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. So you had a beautiful life, and you still have a beautiful life now. Carry on your family life and do all your work and everything that you used to do. But besides this, the time has come for you to turn your feelings and thinking toward spirituality. Meditation. Practice your mantra. Mantra is very important. Without mantra, spirituality is like a body without a soul. You have always been an honest person, and you should lead your family with the same loving heart and stay with them. Also, awaken the spirituality in their consciousness. You need not change something, you need not go somewhere. Everything plays in your heart. That’s my answer. Question 6: A Grandmother’s Concern I have one little child of six years. Her mother abandoned him, and his father also. I am his grandmother. I don’t know how to help him. This child is very sad. He’s with you, right? Yes. Then you give the child your love. Explain to the child that the parents are in a difficult situation. Don’t worry, it will be okay. It will be good. Psychologically, do not talk against his parents, but talk about how they are not in a good situation. They have troubles, and they think, and you think also, it would be good for you to be with me. And the time will come you will have all of them. That’s it, you know. We have to take it as it is. This is not only the situation of your grandchild, but many people have it. This is why, in this modern civilization, this modern way of life, so many humans are suffering. And that’s why yesterday I spoke about love in relation to the ancestors’ families. It is easy to get a child. It is difficult to educate. And it is very difficult to give them some place where they should be and where they should not be. As parents, we can give them love and birth, but we cannot give them destiny. But destiny can be mild, a little bit, through the good education of parents. Question 7: A Father with Terminal Cancer Master, I’m going through a very difficult situation because of my father. He has cancer, and he is in a terminal stage. He has been asking us to help him to live in peace. Yesterday, when you talked about family and ancestors and to keep in peace, how to talk to him? What to tell him to make him live in peace? Because we know there is nothing that can be done but to help him ascend to his new state of consciousness and spirituality. I still wonder how to help him to have peace. What does it mean that he tells you to live in peace? That he doesn’t want you to visit or what? He asked to help him to have peace, inner peace. Okay. He said that he cannot live because he is not in peace. He is worried about my mother and me because we are lonely children. My mom is very attached. She feels very anxious. Well, you and your mother and other family members should visit and come and tell him that we love you. We pray for you, we pray for your health, and we are with you, and we will be ever with you. Put your hand on his chest and repeat this mantra: Oṁ Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam... mentally or loudly. Tell him that Master said this mantra will keep you with family forever in a loving relationship. This will be it; that fine thread will always be with you. You know, that which we call the children, people, they fly up with the thread. A kite. When the children play, they don’t fly, but you do. Yes, so the father, you will always be for us that beautiful kite, and we will always hold you. Question 8: Dialogue in the Heart How to learn to have a dialogue in your heart? Meditation. There is one meditation in yoga and in life: self-inquiry meditation. In yoga and in daily life, there is a meditation called self-analysis. Dialogue in intellect can sometimes not be correct. But the dialect in the heart is perfect. For example, you have a very beautiful flower vase from your great-great-grandfather’s mother, so it is very precious for your house. But one day, by mistake, your husband kicked it and it broke. You are so angry at him, and the wife is so angry with the husband. "You stupid, you crazy, loco, loco! You know how precious it is for us, for my great, great parents, that was from my grandparents and grandparents." And he said, "I’m sorry," and he says, "Forgive me." What should I do with your sorry? Can’t make even the salad with your sorry. Well, that time you must develop the dialogue in the heart, from here to here and from here to here, and think if you would be in the place of your husband, and he will be so rude to you. How will you feel, my dear? Similarly, he feels. So, this is a hard dialogue. But with the fine thinking, viveka, it is said, "Brahma-satyaṁ, jagat-mithyā": the world is changeable, but the Brahman, the highest one, is everlasting. That is the truth. So who came will go. What is created will be destroyed. What appears will disappear. Everything is changing. Every second, every minute, something is changing in your body. Every second, every minute, something changes in his body. So with that, we can’t stop, so we have to accept it. Question 9: Incurable Sickness I would like that the Master speaks about the sickness that is very difficult to cure, like cancer or some viruses that are impossible or very difficult to cure, and how to live with this or how to cure it. Well, something we can do, help, and something we can’t. That is in our destiny. It’s unbelievable. You have an infection in the nail. You see, this is a kind of fungus. It’s attached to you. But you can’t get rid of it. You try to get rid of it. It’s always coming, so that visible we can’t cure. What is going on in the body? But we can somehow mellow it. Make the process slow. We can make the process which will not be aggressive. That is through the diet. Nowadays, cancers are coming more and more because of too much meat eating. We have to come to the natural diet, vegetarian, drink more vegetable juice, all kinds of root juice, spinach, and orange or lemon. This kind of juice will help you a lot, even after the chemotherapy, it will help you. There are a lot of things in Āyurveda, so you may consult with some good Āyurvedic doctor. But I can tell you, we can dim it, we can make it lighter, and sometimes we can cure it. I would not give you a promise that yes, you can do it. Also, this allopathic medicine we should not deny. So, naturopathy, allopathy, homeopathy—this all is very good. To take what helps us, we should take that. That’s the answer. Prāṇāyāma is good. Āsanas are good. Kapālabhāti and Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma are very, very good. Do you know these Prāṇāyāmas? Do you have the book Yoga in Daylight here? It’s a very, very good book, and many, mostly teachers, are using this because it’s like a handbook for the teacher. Many yoga teachers say, "This is my bible now." If you find here some company who would be interested to have this book, to print it, to publish it... If you find a publishing house here in Mexico, so if you know, or if you can find out, let her know. I will give this copyright to the publisher here. He knows one editorial of Metaphysico. Editor? Metaphysico, and they do books with low price and everything, and he will give us the regular book. They make books very, very low price. Very good. And also these two books, the Chakra book, Hidden Powers in Humans. And we also have another book that looks the same, made in Spain. Spanish. And we also have another book that we received that is from Mexico. It’s the book of the chakras, and from the practice. Yes, I shall come again. Question 10: Illuminating Consciousness How can we illuminate our consciousness? How to awake our consciousness? Yes, that’s why I’m here. This evening there will be a lecture about consciousness, a plática de la conciencia, about enlightenment, self-realization. So that is the subject for the evening. It will not be here. It will be in another place that we will announce to you afterward. That will be very interesting for you. And this mantra we definitely need. That’s one mantra which I will give to people this evening, those who want. This is a mantra to remove all the troubles, all the problems. "Aum" is cosmic resonance. "Prabhu" is descending on this planet as a protector. "Deep" is that light, universal light. "Sab" means all. "Dukkha" means troubles. "Banjan" means remove all. And this, I think you need this mantra, but not only that you got it. You have to practice it. There is also one bhajan we can sing on this mantra. This evening, those who would like, they will see mantra, they should be there at 5 o’clock, 5:30, at 5:30 p.m. Those who want to have a mantra should be there between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. And then I will speak about consciousness. Question 11: Intuition vs. Ego How to differentiate if our answer comes from the intuition or from the ego? That is, if it is selfish, only for you, or for the well-being of the world. It depends. When one is hungry, he knows that he needs food.
