Welcome, everyone who has come today. This morning, we had many beautiful thoughts to talk about, and also today. In this world, in every country, there are so many black magicians. People are very much frightened. They speak of ghosts and such things, and many claim they can take away the black magic which is supposedly on you. In the Satguru Chalīsā, our Holy Gurujī said: > "Jantar, mantra, jādu, ṭonā, sab kī sab bandhan kāṭo." These are the jantar and mantra through which people send negative ideas and negative thoughts. Jantar, mantra, jādu, ṭonā—and also some kind of jādu. What is jādu? Magic. Many people in the world become very, very involved in this negative magic, etc. If we believe in God, then believe in God. God will give everything, and God will never do anything negative for us. But some people, who are getting some kind of power to obtain money and influence, find that it gives them more and more fear. There are many black magicians. They say, "Don’t go there, don’t do this, don’t keep this in your house." So, there are two beautiful stories. The First Story: The Village and the Magician There was a little village, and there were some black magicians. All the village people were afraid. Whenever they had some problems, they would go to that person. He would come and say, "Oh, that is very terrible, and this... but I will do this and I will do that." They would say, "Look, that is going away, that look is going away," and like this he would take money and leave. There was the mayor of the village—in those times they were called kings. He had a beautiful house, properties, and all was very nice. That king had only one son. The son went to England to study. When he began to learn there, he found there is no such thing as this blackmailing. He met some good master there, a guru, who showed him these things are just nothing. The guru said, "If you don’t believe, I can take out that power. If you are very strong, open the windows. All magic goes out. We can leave it." So, the prince learned everything very well. All the windows were open. There was no magic, only good things, good air. In that village, the king had died. There was a man in the village who performed a ceremony. Like you also go to the graveyard and give flowers—every year you go there to give flowers. You believe. You cry, "Oh, grandmother, oh babička, my baby," and keep crying for many years. But she is already born again and has become a girl, and she also marries. Yet, we all keep going there. Now, this magician said to the wife of the king, who was crying and crying, "My husband died, my husband died." He said, "Yes, now more and more you must cry. You must love your husband, and your husband has very nice qualities. You know, your husband is very sad because he has a beautiful bed for sleeping, made of very nice wood, comfortable, this and that. But there in heaven, people are running here and there, lying on the ground, and it is very cold. They are freezing. So, the good people, who have good quality, will close the windows so that everyone is comfortable." This magic man told the wife, "Please, what to do? Yes, you give the bed to me, and I will send it to heaven." She said, "Please take all—the water jar, the light, carpet, many pillows, everything. Also, the electric blanket, everything. Give it all." This lady said, "Yes, please." He asked, "When should I give it there? Tomorrow?" He said, "Negative energy can come again, day or night. Just let it out now." And she said, "Yeah, my husband is so happy now. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Dobronoč." Then the man said, "What do you feel?" She replied, "Oh, my king, my husband, I am so happy." Then he said, "My husband was giving everyone donations. And there is now all negative energy here. You have to give all, whatever money, give it to the king, because he will be the king and the richest one there." So, this woman gave all money, everything. Well, the next day he came again. "You had some very beautiful items made of silver—a tobacco water pump, what did they call it? He always smokes with this water pump. The others say, 'He’s a king, he should do good.'" And this magic man took everything from her. Then, one week after, again the magician came. "God, I know there is something wrong. Oh, you have a beautiful cow, and she gave birth to a very nice baby. That milk of that cow, only pure cow milk, he used to drink. He doesn’t take any milk from anyone. So, what can I do? You give it to me, I will send it to heaven, this cow." This magician took the cow as well. Well, after two, three weeks, the son came. There were no airplanes; it was only boats, and he came by boat. His mother was crying. He said, "Mother, don’t worry." Then he said, "I want to go to my father’s room to make praṇām." He saw there was nothing. "Where is my father? His bed?" "Yes, my son, there is this man, and he is so kind. He took the whole from this room and sent it to heaven so that your father has a nice bed still." Well, he didn’t want to make his mother sad. Then he said, "We will make some kind of ceremony." "So, how much money do we have?" "All is gone to your father. He is richest in heaven. This money went to heaven. He has this. It is a very good paṇḍit, and so many mantra he has." The son said, "Okay." Then he asked, "There was a beautiful walking stick with silver and gold and diamonds. Where is that stick, mother?" "Of course, he went through the whole house because when your father died, immediately the devils came in. But this pundit was so good, and he needed that stick because he had one of the best walking sticks." Then he said, "Mother, we had a beautiful cow, and you wrote me a letter that the cow is going to have a baby very soon. It is a beautiful cow." "Yes, yes, my son, yes." "That magic saint, because your father only drank this cow’s milk, and with the little cow, this cow, all took the Panditjī. The cow also went to heaven." "Yes, my son." He said, "But one thing is good, mother, that he didn’t take you also to heaven. I was waiting for you. Mother, don’t worry." Now he arranged some kind of ceremony. He invited many people. There are some people who eat meat, so for them, he made arrangements. Why? "Because your father said in heaven that sometimes he was eating meat, and he can’t stay in heaven without eating it." So, he called all the people who were eating meat. "But he said sometimes he had pure cow milk, and this. Okay, I will make a ceremony, Mother." Now he made beautiful offerings—beautiful, good eatings. All sattvic, all vegetarians, all kinds of food. All were very happy. But it is said, there are these people called magicians, and they eat only milk and good things. "But my father said, 'They have to eat meat today.' We don’t eat meat." Other Pandits said, "I don’t eat meat." The prince said, "No, no, no. My father is waiting for the meat. You are always bringing everything there. But now, today, my father wants to drink alcohol and eat meat." Others were eating beautiful, all-vegan food. "I will put you all in this house like a prison. Eat, eat, my father is hungry." They told him why they couldn't. They said, "No, no one can bring the meat there." "Then how did money go there? We didn’t send money. His bed? No, no, you can’t take it to heaven. And my cow? Of course, it cannot go to heaven. So who was it? Only this one magic man." Then he said, "Tie him here on this pillar. Eat the meat for one week here. My father is all hungry." The magician said, "I cannot." "How did you bring the cows and all property? It’s in your room. Bring it back." And then he put him in a lifelong prison. So, people who are giving sometimes such negative words, they say it’s magic and magic and magic. That is your complete whitewash, and you become completely, completely brainwashed. So, anyone who wants to say, "I want to give you something good, but in your house you have this and that"—why? This is very important: every one of you has the guru mantra. Nobody can do anything. And if you don’t have a Guru Mantra, you have no spiritual progress; still, no one can do anything to you. That is, you are a human, and if you believe otherwise, then you will suffer. From this fear, day by day, you will see your life will be very terrible. And only that fear will make your life worse and worse, day by day. So, nobody should think like that. The Second Story: The Ghost in the Chimney Now again, there is a second story. They said, "If you don’t believe, we will show you. There is a ghost." But there is no ghost. And people said, "There is." Many people go away from the village. They remove the house. It is really a black mill. One day, one farmer gave some kind of feast. He married his daughter, so they kept the daughter in the house. The second house was like a hut. All people stayed in the home. The husband, who was just married, they gave him a nice room there alone. Some people from this village said, "František, in that house is a ghost." That’s all. This is called blackmailing. Don’t tell anything. Don’t tell too much. As little, that’s more. This young man, he’s just married, but it is the tradition that he can take his wife only when he goes to his village. So, at eleven o’clock in the night, his brother-in-law went with him to show the room—a beautiful room, nice bed, everything, water. He said, "Okay, thank you." When he went, he locked the door and all the windows. Though he was a very strong boy, about 28 or 30, he was fearing sleeping. So, he covered himself with the whole blanket like this and kept looking sometimes. Even when the wind blew and moved the leaves of the tree outside, he would think, "Oh God." What happened about 2:30 at night, like now? Today, the moon rises. There was a little window, and there was—like we have here—a heater, what we call a chimney. Before he went, his brother and son said, "If you need more blankets, you can take them from here." So, it’s a very big chimney, white. When the moon was reflecting on all the chimneys, he said, "A ghost is standing!" He closed his eyes and screamed, "Screaming, help, help, ghost, ghost!" All the people who were near, all the village people came. He said, "Please help, I’m killing, he’s killing me!" But nobody dared to come in; they were all outside. "Oh God!" So, one man came—oh God—that is the magician came, who had these stupid ideas always—magic, peaceful. "The ghost is very cruel, very strong. He can kill the whole village within no time. He can kill us. But I will do the mantra, I will let him go." And he makes the mantras. Nothing is my God. "Ghost is a very great, and all people are not a cold." Then he said, "Bring the Gaṅgā water." So, they threw the Gaṅgā water through the window. Nothing happened. They said, "Is something happening?" "Yes, this ghost is so terrible. He is urinating here, very terrible." Then someone, like someone bringing some agarbathis and making smoke—nothing happened. "This ghost is one of the most terrible. You have to purify your house, burn everything." Nothing is happening. Then one person came at four o’clock; for two and a half hours they were all screaming. So, one person here, like, what is his name—our Vasant Purī, Vasant’s wife said, "Get up, what is there? Tell them there is no ghost." So, he came. Who? Vasant. Now he said, "What are you doing the whole night? Disturbed people cannot sleep." They said, "Vasant, now you said always, 'There is no ghost.' And see, now your grandfather is here, ghost. Look, Vasant, go. Go." He said, "There is no ghost." "But you can see, here he is." He said, "No problem." So, he said, "Open the door." But this man, he was frozen on his bed. He cannot get up, and everybody said that a ghost is sitting on him. So, Vasant opened the door. They were telling him, "Please open the door, open the window," but he said, "I cannot. The ghost is sitting on me, killing me." Who? So, Vasant opened the door, and what happened? That young man threw his blanket away, ran to the window, and jumped out. Now everybody said, "Oh, my God, the poor boy just married tonight." He said, "Look, here it is." So, then go all together. Nobody dared to go inside, so Pandit Vasiṣṭha Vasant took the torchlight and walked in. "This is the chimney? Oh God, you threw the water there. So, where is the ghost? No ghost." So, it is only someone trying to give us such a kind of fear. Now, you see some people there, they are killing their children. Just now, somewhere I heard, because the ghost said, and that they are suffering—there is no ghost. So, don’t think that anyone can do magic on you. For them, it’s just: you have your guru, or your priest, or your religion, whichever God you believe in, be there. Nothing can happen. That’s why you have a cross in front of your throat or your Māra. No ghosts are there. No ghosts. So, you are a yogī. You have prāṇas, power; no one can come close to you, nothing, nothing, nothing. So, this is very important: no ghost, no blackmailing. They are making fear, and from this fear one becomes very weak. Understand me? That’s very important. Therefore, when you have mantra, you have bhajans, you have gurus, you have a satsaṅg, you have your village, you have your country, you have your parents, you have all friends—who can kill you through the magic? No, no. But killed is your fear. Our fear is killing us, and you can’t, you don’t know, they can’t tell you what it is. There was one disciple, my disciple, and she was completely mental. Then she thought, "Everywhere is something killing me." And she died under the table without any dress and fear, and after some days we opened the door. From this, she died from fear. Many know. So many people are, in the beginning you think, "Oh, they did very good for me, very good," but now it’s your chance. Now you will become there inside. Therefore, we can say we have our religion, we have a church, we have a mosque, we have a temple, we have our religion, our God, our holy books, all our bhajans. We are God’s children, and God will not do like that, that we must be happy and don’t be fearful. And those who are like this, fearful, will be experiencing very negative things. That they, from their fear, are killing themselves. That is so. These are two stories which I told, that’s it. This you can take back again, yeah? I read your whole book, whole book I read it. Take it back again. This is my, my magic. This is my magic. It’s a crocodile, many things like this. Therefore, in many ways, humans are sometimes very weak people. Yes, in the night, don’t go anywhere because there are some wild animals, that’s all, but no ghost. That’s it.
