Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānkī, Deveśvara Mahādevkī, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavānkī, Sanātana Dharmakī. There is a beautiful bhajan, which I have forgotten, written, I think, by Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaram Lalanandjī Mahārāj. Its subject is the Anāhat Chakra. The Anāhat Chakra is a beautiful chakra that leads us to the right path. I am sure you all have read, and are reading daily, the book Hidden Powers in Humans. The position of every cakra is centered according to the spinal column, but they are not inside the spine, nor are they stuck to it. They are neither in the nāḍīs of Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, nor are they connected or attached to any part of the physical body. Yet, if we measure in centimeters, the location of each chakra is approximately there, going parallel to the spine. It is that kind of organ in the body. It guides the energy in the body, like a navigator in modern technology. It guides and changes the energy. Every chakra has its border, determining when which chakra takes over, according to the fourteen lokas—the seven above and the seven below—which we have spoken of. This is all written in the chart within the book Hidden Powers in the Human Body. First, we should read the book, then study the chart, understand the chart, read the book again, then review the chart once more to grasp the principle. Because it is a foreign language—translated from Sanskrit to Hindi, Hindi to English, English to German, German to Czech, Czech to Slovak, and Slovak to Russian—it has changed many times. Every language is good; no language is bad. But according to culture, tradition, and language, words sometimes carry different meanings. Therefore, translation is very difficult. If you merely know a language and translate word for word, it is wrong, for that word may not express what it should convey. To translate a spiritual or philosophical book, the translator requires three qualities. First, knowledge of the language. Then, it is called bhāvārthaḥ, which is very important. For example, one apple in the left hand and one apple in the right hand. An official translator would say, "In one hand, an apple, and also in the second hand, an apple." But the bhāvārtha may be that in one hand is a real apple and in the other a plastic apple. The translator cannot write "a plastic apple" because the text simply says "apple" for both. So bhāvārtha means the reality, the feeling. Then there is jñānārtha—jñāna is knowledge. And śabdārtha—śabda is the word. What does this word mean? Sometimes you must provide a different translation or meaning: śabdārtha, bhāvārtha, and jñānārtha. When you can translate incorporating these three, then you will enjoy the book. What is typically translated in books is the śabdārtha. In the chart, there is a little jñānārtha in brief, but bhāvārtha is not there. Therefore, I always try to explain all three to you: śabdārtha, bhāvārtha, and jñānārtha. You can look in your dictionary, but nowadays dictionaries are also manipulated. People look into the computer: "What is what?" Sometimes what the computer translates is completely amusing, because computers have no words to say, no tolerance, no respect, and no emotion. But a living computer has tolerance and respect. These cakras are in those parts of the subtle body which guide and influence particular organs. When rain falls, it makes us wet. That water can be used to clean our clothes or our body. The same water falls on trees and grass, and also on the road. New drivers may drive quickly, but we have to understand that. People are still singing that bhajan incorrectly. It should be "Binajane," not as they sing it. "Janae" means something different: "without knowing." Yesterday, a girl was singing it wrong again; of course, she does not know. I explained to her. Language can change many things—the śabda, the words. When we understand this exactly, we are not angry, confused, or disappointed. We understand, "Okay, it is like that." This is very important to understand in the practice of spirituality and yoga. Cakras are in the subtle body, and energy is in the subtle body, but the energy acts equally. Mental strength is stronger than physical strength. Many people train for sports, preparing for championships. They need mental training as well. Certain people have bodyguards; the protector may sit for two or three hours talking, while the bodyguard stands. How many times will we shift our legs, get tired, and look around? That requires mental strength—training mental strength. Thus, a cakra influences different organs in different ways according to its nature and function. For example, if you have an operation, it does not damage your cakra. A spine or muscle operation does not affect the cakra, so do not worry. But I wish you no operations. May God protect us. We know that one day we will pass away, but I pray you live a happy life until the last minutes. Depending on someone is not good; the most unpleasant is physical dependency. May God protect us so that all our motor systems function until the last minute, and also our mental level. When mental energy is withdrawn and memory is gone, it is like being an animal. That is not a good situation. With no memory, even your own children come and say, "Father, I am this one," and the father just looks and says, "Yeah, yeah." Where has the memory gone? Those who have eaten pure vegetarian food, honey, butter, and nuts have a good brain. I am not a doctor, but you can look in books. The brain needs fat and sugar, yet our doctors took these away, so our brain system became, in German, solid—I do not know the Czech word. Solid, like a cookie that breaks easily, or something on ice cream. Therefore, we should be solid. In my childhood, I ate very solid food, my God. Try it, no sound. So: physical movements, nourishment, and mental strength. Never let your mind go to anger. Anger, jealousy, disappointment, and sadness harm our brain cells. Therefore, always be in ānanda. Let your mind follow spirituality. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said: Hātha chhoda, mana chal saṅg toye, ātmā beda batāvat. Hātha chhoda, mana chal saṅg toye, ātmā beda batāvat.

Come with me. We shall give you the knowledge of the Ātmā." This bhajan about the Anāhat Chakra is located in the center of the chest. We all know it is somewhere there. We cannot pinpoint it exactly—somewhere in this area. Therefore, when we meditate, should we imagine it along the spinal column or the front side? Is it clockwise or anticlockwise? In which direction should we look? Look every way; it has no door. It is without a door. It is the Tattva of the sky, the sky Tattva, and its color is blue. This is Śiva and Śakti. The blue color is beautiful. The blue color is not a blue; it is a white that, as it expands, becomes a different color. It is a pure color, representing purity. It is very pleasant, containing purity within it, and it is expanding. It contracts with our bhāva, because the Anāhat Chakra is the seat of bhāva samādhi. Some people speak of bhāva samādhi. There is a story in the Līlāmṛta about someone who went into bhāva samādhi, and the parents wondered what was happening. Mahāprabhujī said he was in Bhāva Samādhi. Here, bhāva means bhakti—devotion. When people sing—like those chanting "Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama"—they are not singing to God Rāma. They are singing about the brother of Krishna, Balarāma. But they do not say Balarāma, just Rāma. Many think, "Oh, they are chanting Bhagavān Rāma," but they do not believe God Rāma as an incarnation. This is a different subject. When they chant and dance, 98% of people are merely replacing their movement with dancing as in a dance club. But 2% are in bhāva samādhi. They are chanting, they are one with that Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is bhāva samādhi. So bhāva means devotion. Now, coming back to translation: Bhāva also means value. You go to buy trousers and ask, "What is the value of this? What is the price?" That is the price, but value is different. Then another meaning: emotion. You are crying—that is emotion. So again: śabda, jñāna—śabdārtha, bhāvārtha, and jñānārtha. Bhavasamādhi is temporary. After the emotion is gone, you are back again. It is a short anesthesia, a temporary state where you do not feel certain things. So bhāva is important. Bhāva means price. Another meaning of bhāva? I am talking about the translations of Śabda, yes? So bhāva: value. You bought a product for 100 crowns per kilo. Now the price rises to 1,000 crowns per kilo. You profit 900 crowns. Why? The price went high. Bhāva went high. But if you bought at 100 crowns and tomorrow it is only two crowns, you lose 98. You are bankrupt. Similarly, the power towards God, or towards the Master, or towards your husband or wife, can rise or fall. One day your wife makes you happy, and you go shopping, bringing many bottles, cheese, and so on—my God, the husband comes home with hands full of bags, good quality juice, organic food, everything. The wife is happy because she made you happy. But when the bhāva is gone, from her side it makes you cry. That is it. Gain and loss are in bhāva. As long as your bhāva bhakti is there, everything is good and you are improving. When your bhakti is lost, then you are lost. Bhāra bhāra vardhānī yei māṅgu. Janama janama hari, dāsa rākhi jo. O Mahāprabhujī, again and again I ask for Thy mercy. In every life, let me be Thy servant, Thy bhakti. tvojej milosti. Bhakta jagatme narehe—so that the bhakta becomes that human. When the Anāhat Chakra awakens and bhāva awakens, others may not understand you. But one who has eaten honey knows its taste. One who has never eaten it only knows intellectually; you tell him it is sweet, very soft, very nice. So one who has love, who has devotion, possesses the bhāva. Therefore, it is said: Nena Tappa Ke Nihir Kya Tum Jaano Haal Hamara, Mere Satta Guru Mahāryati Kya Tum Jaano Haal Hamara. Me rehe gyān nī guru mā har yā hatī, O māro machī lalāve, Merā sunnā karā jñāna gambhīr, O māro machī lalāve, Merā sunnā karā jñāna gambhīr, Hare hare sunnā karā jñāna gambhīr. Bhāyā dhāra dhāba dhīlā ke āndā, jānē nā pāṇḍitā pīhī, jānē nā pāṇḍitā pīhī. Khyā tum jānō hāl hamārā? Mere satta guru māryā tī kya Mere jñānī guru māryā tī laggī āyā karachoṭā hamāre, laggī āyā karachoṭā hamāre. God bless you. God bless you.
