Gurujī, the Emperor of Hindu Dharma, Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, used to give a specific instruction from time to time. Now I shall speak in English so that our Satguru Bhagavān Mādhāvanandajī’s teaching may be clear. He gave this first instruction to people. It concerns your activities throughout the whole day: what you did, what you are doing, what you talked about, and what activities you undertook. Within these activities, there is sometimes negativity. There are negative actions and thoughts from others directed at us. We may have done nothing, yet they say something about us. When such thoughts—whether spoken, backbiting, or anger and sadness from others—reach us, they enter our consciousness and our thoughts. This first affects the nervous system, pushing it into depression. Energy is sent to the brain. Sometimes we ourselves engage in backbiting or think negatively of others. Others return this to you, and that also enters our nervous systems. The nervous system then reflects these vibrations onto the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and so on. These vibrations are very hard to calm down. So, perhaps we are reflecting negativity from ourselves to others, or others are reflecting it to us. Now, Gurujī said—and I often repeat this—that every morning and evening, every bird sings to release its tensions. How beautifully we see different birds on the trees. Why do they come and sing, moving from one branch to another? Other creatures do this as well. Even the water, the ocean, moves up and down in waves. So, what should we do in this case? The best practice is when we come home. Of course, home has its own different activities and atmospheres. You have children, parents, husbands, wives, mothers, and so on. They too sometimes bring an atmosphere that is not good. So what is to be done? The best thing is that when we come home, first we should wash our hands and feet. If you wish and are able, washing the body is good, as it removes negative vibrations and dust. So, cleanse yourself. Second, when you arrive, nicely welcome or greet your wife or husband, your children, your disciple, or your master. After that, in every house—I think 99% of houses, and in other religions too—people have an altar. We should go and offer praṇām there. Gurujī said that when we bow down, all the dirty things, all the negative thoughts, and all depressions leave our head. In which direction? How? This is very important. When we bow down, it happens automatically. How do you not give? I do not know. But we are giving. What are we giving? Devotion. There, in that act, everything is already calmed down. That means my Lord, my God, my Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī—all other great masters—when we surrender to them... Definitely, our masters—Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Holy Gurujī, and all other great sādhus who renounced their entire lives—they take our energy without asking, and then they give to us. This is very, very beautiful and very good for removing stress. Another practice is to pray. Whatever happens, good or bad, we say to God: "My Lord, whatever I did the whole day, I surrender to Thee. If I did bad or not-good things, I surrender to Thee. And if I did good in this, I also surrender to Thee. I give it to you." This is very important. If it is ego and you say it with ego, then you will have more negative vibration in the body. That is it. So do not say "this and that." God, if you want to do, do it. The other way is finished; then it is not good. So, what does surrender mean? It means receiving blessings and vibrations, even from a book. For instance, when you go to temples or to hotels in different countries, you might see the Bible, the Quran, or the Bhagavad Gītā. What does that mean? When you see the book, even if you do not open it but only see the name, in the name is everything. Or when you see the face of your best friend, wife, or husband, you need not express anything else. It is there. So when we go to Mahāprabhujī's, Devapurījī's, or Gurujī's seat, it gives you immense peace within. And of course, you should do something. You should give something. What should I give? Chocolate, fruits, ice cream, money? No. We give mantra. And through the mantra, we give our devotion, and they give us blessings. Therefore, we shall always be blessed by God. If people do not understand, it is their problem. We know, and we are. Always, you know, many of you have a Mālā with you or without a Mālā, we are always thinking of Holy Gurujī, or Mahāprabhujī, or Devapurījī, or Alakpurījī. Because we have this source, and our source is from there, from Ālakpurījī. There is one very nice bhajan about a frog. You know the frog? Yes. That frog is in a little water, enjoying himself. The water is just like that left in a cow's hoofprint stuck in the mud. The cow went away, but water remains inside. The frog sits inside and says, "This is my whole world. I am in the water, wholly in my world." But a big bird comes and tells the frog, "My dear, do not be proud of your world. Very soon, you will see this crow will eat you. Therefore, oh frog, why do you not jump into the ocean?" What does this mean? Our pride, our little pride, is just like that little water somewhere. But when you open your heart to peace and harmony, then the whole ocean is within you, and you are in the ocean, and the ocean is in you. What is that? Our little egos are not like that. We shall have devotion, peace, harmony. Deh Dariyā. There is one bhajan; I have forgotten it a little. Deh Dariyā. I have this bhajan; I will tell it. It is very good. It is written in our bhajan book for satsaṅg. So Gurujī said, "Always bring thy thoughts in your brain to peace, to mantra." We know we will not live long. Maybe some hundreds of days, or hundreds of years, or more. But one day, sooner or later, we have to give up this body. But then, when that time comes, how will you go there? Then, if you have no foundation, you are only in this space; you are nowhere else. Neither here nor there, neither down nor above. No one. Yes, you talk about your mother, but it is a far distance. Father, everything... When you are looking, then you call to your mother, "Can I come to your lap?" But she cannot understand; she does not see anything. And you are just like air, nothing. The jīvātmā is also just not connected with anything. No physical body, no good dress, not this, not that... I do not know, but I will ask: Does our soul feel cold or heat or burning? How? Who are we? What will happen? But consciousness is there. So that sādhanā, yogic sādhanās, and humbleness—we can come to that path. It does not matter; religion does not bring us too much, but religion is our path. It is a path. But finally, there is only one door, and all will go through that one door, and then after... That door, there will be some different doors or something. So if you are a Hindu, or a Buddhist, or a Christian, or of any faith, one day we all go to the path of that Supreme. But that cannot happen only from anything. So Gurujī said, "Sit down, relax, and do your mantra." And while doing mantra—when we meditate—again we talk about this ocean and that, then again you are lost. Come to thyself. But I am in myself. Yes, you are within thyself, but you are not aware of thyself. So you are meditating, everybody, but sometimes we are a little depressed. And then we think, "This happened, and that happened, and that happened." That is nothing other than mantra. So mantra and all of this... It is very hard, very hard to come to oneness. So now, you do what you did. You did karma yoga, definitely. You did it with your love. What means the love? Devotion. What means the devotion? Happiness. What means the happiness? Greatness. What is the greatness? Again, surrender. What did you surrender into my body? For what? I feel that I give something to Thee, O my Lord. So, sādhanā.
