Devotion to Gurudev

The light of the Guru dispels all sorrow. Remember the Satguru day and night to make your life successful. Through devotion and constant remembrance, one receives the Guru's grace, which grants liberation from all bondage and fulfills all true desires. The Guru works tirelessly to transform the disciple, just as a wasp patiently prepares its nest. True disciples are those who stand firm in devotion, not those who run away. By concentrating on the Guru in all activities, one finds divine light within—a light of peace and insight, not an external flame. Perform your duties, but let your heart and mind always be with the Guru. Through this practice, all fears dissolve and all prosperity is attained.

"Satguru ko sumro bhai, tera janam safal ho jāī."

Satgurjī ko sumro bhai, terā janama safalo jāī. Satgurjī ko sumro bhai, terā janama safalo jāī. Terā janama safalo jāī, nāma safal ho jāī. Ārādī Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī kī jai. Devadidev Deveśvar Mahādev kī jai, Satguru Devakī. This bhajan which was just now chanting, singing, by our dear sisters Parās and Suśilā, and the second one is Puṣpā—these are the three which I told you. These bhajans, I tell you, have definitely been made by our Gurudev, Holy Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān. This bhajan is towards his Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī. We have seen many other sādhus, many yoga practitioners, but very few possess that divine glory and devotion towards the Satguru Dev. There are some, of course. But our Gurujī, for 18 hours consciously, he was repeating the mantra through meditation, through sitting, even while making lectures, walking, etc. When he was aware, and also for the other six hours, he would not sleep so long. But he also had his mantra constantly. He had his mālā, then a little later he fell into sleep. And the mālā was in his hand, and then the mālā fell down. But Guruji’s fingers were repeating like this even when Guruji was sleeping. Myself, I have seen Gurujī many times when I was young, in the schools and in Nepal, when I was going with Gurujī. Many times I saw Gurujī, and suddenly I was frightened because I thought under his blanket there was a fire—so strong a light inside. I said, "Gurujī, Gurujī." Guruji said, "What happened?" I said, "It was a fire." No, no... fire. This Gurujī, Dev Mahāprabhujī’s light, the light of Pūñch Harī. Only bhajans can do that; one who has that kind of devotion. And devotion is also in the heart. And sometimes it is like a pain. But that pain is not that kind of pain; it is a longing for that. Like Mirabāī, how many bhajans by Mirabāī. And she never saw Kṛṣṇa. But she had him in her consciousness, in her feelings, and then she saw him. It is said in the last life of Mīrā, she was running around the forest, and she came to that one temple where the temple of Kṛṣṇa and Mīrā is. There she was very sad—not that kind of sad that is pain, or anger—and she went to the temple. And there was a deepak light, and Miras were sitting there, and she said, "Now I will give myself finished. I want to become one with you in your flame." And suddenly she fell down, and flame came. Two flames became one, and the flame went, and Mirabai gave up her life. Her soul went with Kṛṣṇa. Similarly, there are many. Yesterday, I was looking on Facebook. He’s a great saint. He’s blind by birth, and he studied all of Sanskrit completely, perfectly. All four Vedas he learned by heart, and the Rāmāyaṇa. Any time in the night, while sleeping, you can see Swāmījī. From that place, he will completely tell, "Yes, this is this, and this like this." He, and also the Bhagavad Gītā and Upaniṣads—there is no one who can bet him. This is a great saint. When I got Mahāmaṇḍeśvar in Haridwar, Holy Gurujī was there, and Holy Gurujī knows him so well. So many times, Gurujī was going with him. There was a satsaṅg, and that great saint was also there. I met him for the first time. I was sitting there, and his Gurujī came. Gurujī sat there, and he was blind, but he said, only from his wife’s place, his voice and come. I’ve written here, and he said, "Is your disciple with me? Come, come." He was pulling me very close to him. Well, it was my first time. Then our one bhakta, Gajananjī from Germany, he was there, and then Gurujī said, "Gajanan, sing bhajan." And that Swamiji was so happy to listen to the bhajan, and then he was singing. That bhajan was so good, "Bharat about India, dhan dhan ho." And so, when the bhajan was finished, that Swamiji goes to his hand and he says, "Come here." He came and he hugged him, and he had tears because... He sang about Bharat and Ṛṣis, which Gurujī has given. He is Chakṣu. Eyes are not, but his knowledge—with very few people you will find in India. He has got a great gallery. He got Satguru, Brahma Guru, many things. He got something. And so that is called kṛpā. Guru kṛpā, he gave them. That was about, they were in some television or something. They were asking, not a television, but interviews, and interviews which were great also. And he was asking questions from there to there. And he said, "Yes, that is in that page, and there are there." And then someone told, "This is Ramayana written, this something." And he said, "Yes, but this is not that what you are telling. It is great." He explained in such a way, otherwise. People misunderstand now, so this is a great, great Swāmījī. So you can imagine his knowledge. You can ask him anything, he can explain anything. He has learned everything, everything, and he is great, still there in every... Kumbh Mela, I try to come to see him. If I will go to Kambeda, I will go to him. This is a great, great saint. But the sādhanā, and so is Gurujī’s bhajan, what it is there? Gurujī is saying so. This is a very beautiful bhajan: Satguru ko sumro bhai, tera janam saphal ho jāī. Hey, my brother, meditate, concentrate, devotions, etc. Satguru ko sumro bhai—day and night remember your Gurudev. Bhai means brother, or we can say it’s the sister. It doesn’t matter, sister or brother. There should be no doubt, and maybe Gurujī can be angry. He can tell you many things, but his word is not a harsh word; it is sweet words. The other one can run away. Gurujī said, and there is a written bhajan of Mahāprabhujī’s bhajan, and in there it is written, so there are three kinds of wasps—three kinds of wasps like bees, but other ones, and they have the sound. These are the bees. That one wasp is going and searching someone to create into the verse. It is like a worm, and these are three kinds of worms. So, this bee is going all the time now. So it’s called a bhraṁ bhraṁ bhraṁrī mudrā, ya bhraṁrī. Pranayama. Now, one worm is big and gets up and quickly runs under the grass somewhere, afraid. Then, quickly, quickly running, this worm in the grass, that wasp said, "This is not a real one. This is not my disciple," running away. Then comes the other one. The third one comes and is singing. Immediately, he also runs away. He does not hide somewhere; he runs away. But the wasp is constantly searching, searching to get that into the wasp, the boar. And then, there is one, and that is Burmārī going, and there is coming like a worm, and it stands on. She’s standing, and again this one comes, constantly there. Then that kind of wasp is these, they bring first from the mud, the waste mud which is water on it. And she brings somewhere on the wall, somewhere, or in some other part of some tree. Mostly somewhere on the wall, outside, not inside. And there he made a beautiful house. And there are so many holes, little, little. Other is so thick, about half an inch or two inches. And that is like this inside. And it is very nice, neither hot nor cold. So then she comes again, the voice goes away, and again this womb is standing and looking like that. One is completely in that kind of knowledge or sound. And again she comes, and she goes again like this, and now you can... See here in our ashram, here if we have a few, they are very nice here. This not this yellow, they are not, they are other one. And then she goes distance, and that time the wasp is walking like this. Then this wasp said, "Yes, this will become." The verse, and she gets him and puts him in that house, and there is one, two, three, four, five rooms inside, for every different, and then she is coming and she gives, like, what we call the stick of the like. From the bees, and that becomes like meditation after a while. Again, this process, disciple, look how the disciple is working so hard to make the disciple and make the master itself. That’s the truth, I’m not making a joke, Joshī. Okay, and then she’s looking. And again, coming, going inside, giving food, stick, sorry. And then, what is making that disciple and guru should have the same? And so, the wasp is going, "Hmmm," and that wasp begins to say also, "Hmmm," both. And she slowly goes away, and she is inside, "Hmmm." And after a while, one hour, two hours, this wasp comes to that door and listens. And he listens to the sound Brahmari inside. She said, "Oh, now she will become the Buddha." And then she gives her the stick again, and again she goes. That one is also making, then she is going away without sound. Again coming, then this different voice, and then she looks inside. The different movements, the winds come, and then she opens a little, opens a little hole, and then her mother or master guru is. Going, and that wasp is jumping out with the feathers and flying behind, and far and far they go and sit somewhere in the very sweet flower. We don’t know many flowers are sweeter. Very nice. And they both are sitting, and though both are standing in front of the flower, they are talking, I think, hmm. And this becomes the same verse piece, the other one that is called guru and disciple. So there are three qualities: one is called kaniṣṭha, madhyama, and uttama. Kaniṣṭha is in the negative, and the third is sometimes yes and sometimes no. That’s a god, yeah, and suddenly go away. He’s coming and so... and uttama means the best, pure purities. That is then it, it that becomes. The Guru, that’s it. Then that Gurudeva said, "Gurudev, I will go with you." Om Śānti Śānti. So the Guru is hard working, really hard working. Then that becomes the master, guru. They were both monks, same. And in Australia, I saw one kind of... they call them like... in, in you have in the here the... you, Yugoslavians? Beach? This little, yeah, Chigana, Chigana... So in you go, Australia, there is so big, and once I want to, I want to stay there one month or twenty days and write my book, something book. Then when the sun rises, that is all we are, God day and day. I can’t teach the yogic program, we cannot meditate, we cannot speak, we can... Not read, and they said after three years of the five years that mother, they are in the wood bark, and after comes the mother body, but from the back of the body, that other, this chigar comes out. So there are many, many things. So, so is the guru, Dev Guru is. Coming though one is not good, but still will try this year, life, next life, or something, but you don’t know where you will go. So all cannot be like that. These wasps, they are not biting. This is a very beautiful one, and so if you have... Negative thinking, if you are angry, if you are many things, then you are not there. It doesn’t matter what happens. I am Guru Varame Chalun. So come on, everybody, for a while, try to become the best for everybody, okay? And all. Those who are listening, you should also sing there, okay? Yes, my resonance is in the whole world. My resonance is in Brasilia, my rose in China, in the whole part, Australia, everything, and Europe, Africa, everywhere. This sound of this master is there. Who is listening? Who is not a disciple? Still, he will get open his eyes. Yes, I want this, my guru. And that Gurudev is not only for one, but if you are, then one is becoming that great one. That will be that. It is, and the second, you will not get that what you... Want to still get? Even you are the best of the best, but you cannot get because there are two milestones there. Still two milestones, your means your two steps means two breaths. In these two breaths, that you can bowl or speak. Then it is that one, but the same thing, but up and down, up and down. Everyone has something, but inner that is very beautiful and good. Everybody, come on. Mudra, go ahead, everybody, according to your breath, more and more. Go ahead, go ahead. This is the time our neem tree is blossoming, so beautiful, and there are thousands of different kinds of bees. Many, many different kinds of bees. And that is so resonant, just exactly what you are. Yes, morning you should go near, but don’t bring your nose there because some bees can touch you and then give a good, you like it, you will say, "Oh, it bit me! Bite it louder so I can hear you!" Very good. We are inhaling, but not we are exhaling, but the resonance we are getting. Through the two nostrils, near our vocal cords, from the palate, there are two holes, and through this goes that resonance. It is from behind where we have the hanging, what we call this—not nonsense—tonsil, the tonsil, tonsil... I don’t know what a tonsil is, anyhow. So there is a breath coming from down, and that is running through both nostrils here on this part, and exactly to the bindu cakra, and so on, according to the... Hidden powers in humans, in that book, from the different chakras and different deities, there is a lot of, a lot of science, or beautiful yogic science in this one. Very little point, but so us, so, so, but that disciple, that... Disciple, don’t divorce. Every divorce, divorce and devotion, devotion... very good. I am devotion, I am devotion, devotion. I am, I am devotion, I am devotion, devotion. Devotion, devotion... Dev. Sumro means day and night, in any way, in any questions, in anything. Remember, remember and get it. Bhai means brother. Do this, or sister, terā janam safal ho jāī. Oh, what Gurujī said. Terā janam, our life will be perfect, complete. Safal ho jāī. We will be successful. All kinds of success, but don’t jump yourself, right? And this, no, you have your profession, yes, you must do your profession. Your food, yes, you should eat your good food. Walk, you should go for a walk everywhere. But there is that Brahma Loka—what is it called? Those who will concentrate on the Gurujī all the time, like Brahmṛṣi. Yes. And that one will get the liberation, mukti. Mukti, mukti. There is one mukti here. Who is mukti? You are a mukti here? No. Śakti, bhakti, mukti? Oh, I have mukti. Yeah, in Vienna is a mukti. And also in Slovenia. Okay. Many, many mukti. Hey, I have Mukti here. Also, my cow babies are there, one of that, yes. And you know, we have Nāgeśvara, and you cannot imagine, Nāgeśvara came to me and he didn’t want to go away at all. And I was with him, and he was so, so divine. And mother came back. Mother said, "Let’s go, cow." And he said, "I don’t want to move." And then I brought chapatis, and there were two chapatis, good. Both mother ate. He had no idea. He had no concentration about chapatis. He was with Swāmījī. Is something divine? They are all divine souls. Maybe they are from the other life; they were bhaktas, but still, something was, so they came for seva. Yes, it can come, you know. I’m not in the dogs so friendly, or I’m the friendliest, but I don’t want to always, but as soon as I saw the four. And suddenly it was in me, and I talked. I got these three, four little puppies, and they are now so nice. Every animal is very nice. All is good. Love is love, but don’t be like a dog when you love one dog and the second dog comes—mmm, my God—this means that this is a dog, dog... Nature, then that’s why it will. Gurudev again will say, "You are separated, again separated." Anyhow, very good. If your concentration, your devotion, your everything, it will be in Gurudev’s seva. And you know that we have many Seva disciples? Many, many Seva. And those who are sometimes in seva, they fall down again. Then they fall into the, how so, in water? Well, we send one basket with the rope, and we get the water. We pull the water, and water, and after that, one meter left, the rope go. You leave this rope again, it will go. Therefore, It is so. It’s called jo guru sevā chitalai, concentration, concentration, ush jamro kā darā nahī, and that one has no more fear from the Yamarājas. A yama is that which comes here and takes persons to kill and lets them take up. That is good. Uṣ jamro kā dhārā nahī. But they don’t have any fear because Gurudev was there. To ṛddhi, siddhi, śukha pāī. O Bhāī, O my brother, O my Bhakta. Riddhi, siddhi, and sukha. Prosperities. Happiness, pleasant, this is Gurudev. Tere sab ānanda ho jāī. Then your all ānanda, you will be ever for the ānanda. If someone will say, "Hey, stupid man," he said, "Okay, thank you. Yes." If somebody will shout something, he said, "Okay, thank you. That’s it." If someone is stolen, okay. If you take away from my hand, okay. In my brain, in my heart, in my navel, and in my everywhere, Gurudev or God has given me. All they can take from my hands, but not from my brain or my heart. If you will kill my heart and this, I will go with my soul with the same, that kind of it. Then, in our heart, when you make mantra mala, definitely you will feel the light in your heart. Not that light like this. This is outside. This is not a light, not that sunlight, not that moonlight. Light is that divine insight, peace, love, respect, everything. And so, by the Gurudev’s kṛpā, do the sādhanā. Practice what Gurudev says, and then everything will be met. You will get everything that you want. But don’t say that I want to become stupid. No, no, no. I want to drink alcohol. No, no, no. I will eat meat. No, no,... not like this. So we have to become good. So therefore you should repeat and repeat on Bhagavān, Dīp, Nārāyaṇa, Mahāprabhujī. Gurujī said, "Sab man acchā phal pāyī." So whatever you wish to have, you will get everything. Mahāprabhujī will give everything. Ya Mahādvānanda Satgave. Holy Gurujī said, "I am telling you the truth, what I am saying about my Guru." Thaane sachee baat batai. That I have told you the truth. The truth, bhajan, the story of this. So, bhajans, this is coming from the glory of Gurujī. This was a bhajan, Holy Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī. And that was early morning, Brahmaloka, Devapurījī Mahārāj, Devapurījī Bhagavān in Kailāś, in Kailāś Āśram. Brahmaloka, two hours before sunrise. Devapurījī went to the Śivaloka, and Mahāprabhujī called the Holī Gurujī and said, "Sit down." And Mahāprabhujī was a little bit emotional when Devapurījī went. There was no telephone, nothing. But Mahāprabhujī said, "No, now Gurujī is going." And so, Guru Sahib, Mahāprabhujī said, O my Satguru Dev, why are you separated? Jag Daryava Atang Jal Bhariya, this world is that ocean, and my boat is in the middle of the ocean. Gurudev, I will come, cross that ocean. Who said? Mahāprabhujī, you will sing bhajan, okay? Gajānanda’s problem. So, one bhajan more and then finished. I want to give you meditation, but this was more than meditation, you know? Come on. I don’t know, you all know, what is the custom of the poor.
