Think over your wish

The search for eternal peace defines this age. Humans pursue prosperity, but all possessions are left behind at death. Life is held within the five elements, yet greed dominates. In previous ages, beings worked for harmony to reach higher realms. Now, negativity prevails as each claims superiority. A story illustrates the folly of arrogant desire: a being sought immortality and the power to burn anyone he touched. He tested this power on Śiva, who fled. Viṣṇu, assuming a form, tricked the being into dancing until he placed his own hand on his head, destroying himself. Therefore, actions and promises carry consequences. All seek their own good, but the divine principle is one. It is both the cosmic self and that which manifests on earth. Cultivate a humble heart. Awaken to shared joy and alleviate the pain of all creatures. The whole world is one house. True forgiveness requires releasing inner resentment. A saint persisted in his divine invocation even through execution, his faith unbroken by fire. Therefore, remain humble, kind, and peaceful. Perform good actions.

"Even many politicians... are getting money, perhaps for the next elections. But that is also greed."

"In Hanumān’s each and every hair of his body is vibrating with the name of Rāma."

Part 1: The Search for Peace in Kali Yuga Good evening to all dear devotees, all yoga practitioners, all spiritual seekers, and those who are searching for spirituality. Many are searching for eternal peace, which is a particular situation in this Kali Yuga, as we know. There is Satya Yuga, Dvāpara Yuga, Tretā Yuga, and Kali Yuga. This is why things happen in the world as they do. The reality is that each and every human is searching only for prosperity—meaning money, money, money. Everyone wants to have it; they are looking forward to becoming rich. But it is said, it does not matter how much you have, one day we will go empty. It is said that when one is born, we come from the mother’s womb with closed fists. Our hands are closed, our fingers are very tightly closed. What have they brought with them? They have brought something. I am talking about humans and other creatures. Animals also have a different kind of time in their life, and they have their purpose for coming. From birth (janma), the fist is closed. And when we die, our palms will remain open. Anything we have in our hand, we are holding as long as we are in life. Afterward, we just let go; the hands, legs, neck—all the nerves become slack. When we came, I brought something with me. When we will go, it all will be out of our hands. What does that mean? Wherever you think, "I have so much, and I want to have so much," remember this. Even many politicians, some politicians, are getting money, perhaps for the next elections. But that is also greed. They all want to do everything, but at the end of this life, it is said we lose everything, nothing, because nothing will go with us. Even the other creatures who are living, when they die, they will be gone. As long as we are in these five elements in our body, there is the jīvā (the individual soul). And for what are we looking? For life. In the Satya Yugas, Dvāpara Yugas, etc., even there, there were Rākṣasas and what they call Devas—the gods, or we can say the holy ones. But mostly there are those who are the devas, and they are working for peace and harmony so that they can come to the Brahmalokas. These are both together, negative and positive. But in Kali Yuga, it is now too much. And, of course, everyone says, "I am the best." If someone wants to tell something, they will tell only negative things to others. And for themselves, though they don’t know so well, they will think, "I am the best." But God is looking; He is observing, and God knows how long you will stay here on the earth. In other lokas and in other times, they had a long life and they were peaceful. They were not running from here to there. But nowadays, we become greedy for everything, not only for money. One finds God. You know, there is one story. One of our ancestors went to perform tapasyā (austerities). He was standing on one leg and was calling upon Brahmā. So Brahmā came and asked him, "What do you need?" He said, "I want to become immortal." He put that request. When he’s sweating, then why not? I want to have the other side, the ventilator? They would say, "Why? I wish, I want, I’m sweating, and I put this side, why not?" Not everybody will say, "Why are you making it like this?" Everyone is, of course, happy, and they said, "Yes, of course, why not?" For example, we are all sitting, and suddenly there’s only one door, and there’s a fire in the door. We will not sit and listen to the lecture; we will run out and call the fire brigade. So why not? I move this ventilator here? No, thank you very much. Everybody who is listening, I’m sorry to take your time away, but I need some time, my time too. Thank you. And it would be good if it’s a one-foot close. Thank you, it’s a good idea. Thank you. Why not? So, Brahmājī, God Brahmā, said, "I cannot give you immortality forever." He said, "Why not?" Brahmā said, "No one is forever. Even Śiva is not forever, Viṣṇu is not forever, Brahmā is not forever. Nothing is forever. This earth will also not be there. But what you like, how long you like, we can do something." But he said, "I... I want..." To have some siddhi (power), yes, one wants to have a siddhi. That’s why I have some disciples; their name is Siddhi, and they are very nice ladies. They are siddhis, but they are still working very hard. So everyone will go; every yuga will change. But he said, "No, but I want, and you are here. You cannot go without saying anything." So the rākṣasa said, "I give you some siddhi. And what is that siddhi you want? Whatever you want." So he said, "Give me the siddhi that if I touch anyone’s head, they will be burned." Brahmā said, "That’s great." He said, "Thank you." And the rākṣasa said, "Thank you, Brahmājī." He went away. Then he goes to Śiva and said, "Śivajī, you know that you gave me the siddhi that I can burn someone when I put my hand there." Śiva said, "Yes, I gave you this. Your hand, when you put on anyone’s head, they will burn." He said, "Anyone?" Śiva said, "Yes, anyone, also God." The rākṣasa said, "I am very happy, very good now. I am immortal." But he said, "But I don’t know that you gave me the siddhi. I go away." No, no, no. "If you gave me the siddhi, then I want to see how it is. So I put my hand on, O Śivajī, on your head." Śiva said, "No, no." He said, "Of course I will do it, if it is a siddhi." And now, so you know, they are saying that Śiva was running and running. The snakes were also rattling like this, and his triśūla, and his big mālā, and he was a little bit of stacked bodies. So through the rocks in the Himalayas, running and running. And what is chasing behind, running, running? He needs only to touch the head, that’s all. It’s like electric. There is a beautiful cave. There, Viṣṇu Bhagavān is residing. And Śiva was running and coming, coming, coming. He came to the hill, there under a very beautiful cave. And Viṣṇu said, "My Lord, what is that? You are so tired." Śiva said, "Yes, but sit down peacefully. What happened?" And he said, "No, but that Rākṣasa, he cannot come in." So Śiva said, "Viṣṇu, what happened?" Then he told this. Viṣṇu said, "Oh, Viṣṇu Bhagavān, relax." Śiva said, "It’s easy for you to be relaxed. I will be relaxed. You think so? The Rākṣasa is coming." Viṣṇu said, "Relax, sit down. I will go and I will complete the job." Bhagavān Viṣṇu is on the rock. He turned into one woman, one girl, nicely dressed. And the rākṣasa was coming, and he sees, "Oh, God!" And he said, "Ah, such a nice, such a nice girl, or the one lady, standing like this." She said, "Yes, how are you? I’m..." For you, Rākṣasa said, "Really?" And he ran away towards that girl. She said, "No, no... Stay there, because I know you have a siddhi, and I want to give you a better siddhi." The rākṣasa said, "Yes." She said, "You must learn dancing, otherwise your siddhi will completely..." Śiva didn’t tell you completely? Yes, that’s... "Why was I running behind Śiva? Where is he?" Viṣṇu said, "He’s somewhere else. I will teach you a very nice dance, and then your hands will be... you will be like that, and from a distance you can burn everybody." He said, "Oh yes, that’s great." So she, Viṣṇu, said, "I am here, about 40 meters distance. You have a very nice rock. I have a good rock." And he said, "Then teach me dance." She said, "Yes, of course." And he’s moving his leg. Tip, tap, tap,... tip. I don’t know what is how. We should ask our Bhakti Devī. She should have been here today. Anyhow, and then this. And all the movements, and there and this, and then this and there, or this. And do like this, I’m telling. He said, "Yes, the exercise, big, oh, this side." She said, "Do like this." He said, "Oh, oh," and she’s doing that, and there, and there. And she said, "Oh, you are great, you are getting very nice, very nice, very soon you will be completed." And then she said, "Wait, wait... You should know, every movement will be immortal. And every movement you do, it will be great, but you have to go through from the toes, then hold the toes." He is holding down like this and that on the foot, so Viṣṇu Bhagavān also thinks so. Very good, and this, and there, and there. Yes, beautiful, moving everywhere, knees and the heels, and thighs and the buttocks, my God. It’s like, what you call, let’s say running and the stomach, and then you see your body will be good. He said, "How I make your body like me?" "Oh, that is great. I love you." She said, "Yes, wait." Body became nice and little and this, and say now to come up higher, and this we will fly like a, what? Like the beautiful, um, one be not eagle, um, what is that? Not a butterfly, a swan. "This is good, then I can run quickly and find Śiva." She said, "Yes, immediately you will just go with your wing," and she was gone. Yeah, oh, that’s good. Then she said, "Yes, come on, dancing. And are you sure that she would say that? In any head you touch, it will burn." He said, "Yes, in my hand is a power. On any hand, heads..." Very good. And then, Viṣṇu Bhagavān, He knows, He plays always very nicely. And then she said here, so he’s really also so, and then she said so, and he’s also doing so, and he’s doing say, and he’s Thai, and Thai, and Thai. He makes the Rākṣasa do Thai, whole fire, everything is good. So, therefore, be careful. Don’t ask without, you know, in your and our thoughts, actions, everything. And what we promise, give it. Otherwise, that will burn, or will be good, and everything. So therefore, even for ages and ages, many devas were also thinking like this, but they had samādhi, they had peace. Sometimes, great ṛṣis, they became... a rock, a big rock. Now what will you do with it? And when they are gone, the ṛṣi is becoming a rock, the ṛṣi, their boss. And so is now this in this world, what we are doing in our life. Everyone from the whole globe is searching for different things: "I am good," "my good," this and that. But that is said, prāṇa, but it is said, God is one. And that God is not physical, that God is not visible, but there are two different kinds of God. One is the cosmic self, and second is that which comes to this earth and gives many, many good qualities and good things. But many are turning to the wrong side. They think we are good. Many things we want to destroy, many people, so it will be good people there. But if we don’t know who is good and who is not good, therefore it is said that whatever you do, do good. And therefore, even God Rāma, He did not want to kill the Rāvaṇa. He was also not running quickly and taking his wife and killing the Rāvaṇa, also no. He was very humble and everything, and for a long, long time He was asking again and again, "Forget it, forgive it, please become," but... That was the Devas and Goddesses, but now our anger, our hate, is so strong that we can kill a human immediately. What is that? So they think, like, you are one mosquito. So this is because there is no knowledge for that. But we are human, and we should feel happiness and joy together. This is in every heart. Awake your heart. Awake in our hearts. When the heart becomes humble and good, then our whole thoughts will become free and good. Good. So we said prayer every day. Going, walking, we should do the prayers. We should know that everyone has life. Everyone has good feelings, and everyone has bad feelings. Even the animals, if we are beating them or putting a knife on their body, they are also immense in pain, and that pain goes into you. And when you are in that, then your inner peace and love are not anymore, and when the love is not... More than this, it is like going to the other part, to other things. So we shall always, no matter how, remain humble with peace, with harmony, and be humble to all children, women, the old, the very old, grandparents, and our friends and neighbors. What is a neighbor? We are in one house. And what is one house? The whole globe is one house. And there we can be anywhere. So try to think peace, forgive. It doesn’t matter, even if they say that you will forgive, but they will feel that they are not giving you forgiveness. There were many, many—about how many years? I think already 20 or 18 years. So they said, "We will forgive you, but we will not forget you." That means inside it is still there. So we have to remove that, and that’s not so easy. And so, there is one book, learned one book from one Swami in Jodhpur, and he also wrote one bhajan. And there was one, maybe it was a Sufi, or a Muslim, or anyone, I don’t know. And that is a Sufi, and he was a great saint. He realized the self-realization of God, that God. And others, they said, in this religion or this thought, they said there is no God, not in a physical body and no God. So it’s okay if they are there, and they are humble, and they are meditating and praying for that, because finally, God is that like Skype only. So his name was Akalhal, Alakhal. Analak. So they said, "We don’t want to believe in God." Alakhal. So he said, "It is there." And they said, "No." So it is said they tried him, gave him a lot of troubles, but he always said, "Analak, Analak." Then they hanged him up like Jesus. And blood was dripping. And from each and every blood drop, sound came, "Alakha, Alakha." They said, "Oh, it is a rākṣasa. He’s like a rākṣasa. Even his blood is like this, so we will burn him." So they, otherwise they crave it. So they burned him. In the fire was coming sound, alakhā, alakhā. Annalak, Annalak, you see, he is a Rākṣasa. So burned and still the fire, Annālak, Annālak, Annālak. They were waiting until the fire was gone, because he would make everything somewhere. And then the ash was completely cooled, and still there sat Annalak. Then they go down. There must be something. And when the front of them give the praṇām, from there came the nāda, and from this sound. So there were, in many, many countries, many great in every. Therefore, we should all be humble, kind, and peaceful. And besides us, everything we should take care of it. So this world is now, this is called Kali Yuga. And those who go quickly, they will go to the Brahmaloka, they will go like this. Still not so far ended, I mean, not so far ended. And that will not be easy, or it will be like this: the whole globe will turn into water, waste, again in the ocean, and Viṣṇu is again there. Then they will come, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, and then they will say, "Let’s go somewhere. After, we will come back." So it is like that. So we should do as much good as we can. That’s very important. Everything, so, but we have to be very careful. Now is a time for that. Very good. Part 2: The Open Door and the Guru's Grace There are some countries—here also—where people do not have locks. They go to their farm to work, and if others come and enter the house to drink water or such, they do not say, "Hey, who are you? Where are you going?" No. Once, a family of five, six, or seven members was working in the grass, in the field. A couple or two men came and went into the house. A boy asked, "Father, where are they going?" He replied, "They are going into the house." It is their house and our house. Only if the house itself one day says, "Don't come in," would it be different. So, the house is open and welcoming to everyone. Everyone is everyone. Perhaps they are hungry or thirsty; it is okay. I have seen this many times—I don't know about here, but in Europe. I have heard about it in many countries; it was told about Austria. In the mountains and hills, farmers go to work on their farms. The door is open, and on the table, there is a basket with fruits, bread, a knife, and everything. A note says, "Please, please eat." If there is nothing more, there is some money—not rupees—in the basket and a paper that reads: if something is missing, here is money; please go and buy it from the shop. That kind of people existed. And still, in many, many mountains in the Himalayas also, they do not take things away. They will even come and help. In these big, big cities, there are many, many different things. So, my dear, we should have a good heart, but we should also try to protect ourselves. We should protect ourselves, and then protect others also. When you go on an aeroplane and they talk about security, when the oxygen mask comes down, they give instructions. You know that if you have your child with you, first take the oxygen mask for yourself and then aid your child. Why? Because if you try to help the child first and you have a lack of oxygen, you will die. So, do it quickly yourself, and then do it for your child. Like this, we should establish security first for ourselves and then for others. So, my dear, it is a time for what we are doing. Somebody put a question here about Gurujī. Śrī Gurujī has made a beautiful call, the Kākā Bhaṭṭīśī. What is a Kāka? Kāka is an alphabet. Kākā. These are alphabets for learning. So, there is nothing. Śrī. Śrī is prosperity, and this and that. Bhaṭṭīśī. They are Bhaṭṭīs. How many Bhaṭṭīs? 32. But there are others, making 52. These are the letters for a learning person. A very good guru is made. It is for students who cannot learn properly. But when you can sing like a poet, or with stories, then you will remember. So, what is ka? Then you say, what is ka? Ka, ka... ga, ga. The tongue is hanging there all the time. You don't just say "ka, ka." Ka, ka,... kha, gha, gha, gha. The tongue is hanging there all the time. Yes? You can say everything. Ka, ka, kha, gha, gha. Where was the tongue? That’s why. So it is ka, ka, gha, gha,... da. Ka, ka, gha, gha, da. You can sing it like ka, ka, gha, gha, da. These are the vocals, as you said, Premanājī. He learned the whole poem in Australia. He is Australian and was grown in the salt of the mountains. That’s why I call it Salzburg. "Borg" is a mountain, so salt is from there. Very good. But it is a dohā. A dohā always has two lines. The first is: Śrī Pūjā Dīpa Dayāla Hari. So, Om Pūjya, the worshipped, Dīpa Dayāla, Bhagavān, Dīpa Nārāyaṇa, Mahāprabhujī, Dīpa Dayāla, Hari. Hari is, who is Hari? Not Viṣṇu, Viṣṇu. So, Śrī Pūjā Dayāl Hari. Hari, who is Hari? Dayāl. Merciful, and who is that? Deep Mahāprabhujī is Hari. Understand? So my holy Gurujī said, Śrī Pūjye, that merciful, worshipful one that we are worshiping here, Deep Mahāprabhujī, deep light, deep dayāl, merciful. So become merciful. I was just talking about merciful. So Śrīpūjā deepa hari Param Param, the highest Puruṣottam. Now he, that highest one, was birthed in the human's air. So hari, Bhagavān Viṣṇu incarnated, but different. He came, Viṣṇu came to the earth, in the humans. So he came there. So Deep Dayal Hari, the Merciful Lord Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, came from Viṣṇu, as a Hari, as a Viṣṇu. And yes, there is, and he is still here. And you know how many people came? It is not that I give you blessing; I will give you. No, no, no. He knows that which is how and there. Param, the supreme also. Param, the highest, Puruṣottama. Puruṣa is the human, and Puruṣottama, the supreme. So the highest, blissful, and best is God in the human form. Khas. Khas means yes, really. Yes, really. And so this Holī, Gurujī was making in 1965 in Nepal Ashram. Satguru Chalisa, this, this everything, and Gurujī was always making mālā, and then after he was writing, and then again walking in the ashram, and then again—that is my life. I didn't know at that time what he was doing so much, but then after one day I came to know this. But he said, "No, sit down and you sing." Yes, repeat, repeat. I said, "Okay." But now I know what Gurujī was giving me. This is the knowledge of the Guru, and that’s called Guru Vidyā. And the rest is for living worldly life. So Bhagavān Gurudev Mahāprabhujī said, "Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī is in front of me. Mahāprabhujī is there." And who said, and what? Why am I saying? Mādhavānand kar jod kahe, Mādhavānandjī, Bhagavān apne Gurudev, Mādhavānand kar. What is kar? Hands, both hands; kar means many, many things. But so, Madhavānand, kar jod kahe? What is jod? Folded hands. So Gurujī bowed down with his hands to Mahāprabhujī, and what Gurujī said after: "Śimru swās, śimru. I am constantly, 25 hours, I am chanting your name: swās, swās, swās. Inhale and exhale, my each breath." In my going in deep, going out deep, Mahāprabhujī, Om Prabhu, deep swāso swāsa. So it means whatever goes in my body, even the breath goes, only that is Gurudev. And what it brings for others also, from that Gurudev also, exhalation and inhalation. And all who have seen Gurujī know how all the times Gurujī... Mālā, it was so big a Mālā. Gurujī gave a Mālā; Mahāprabhujī gave it in Bodhaguda. This Mālā, like my big Mālā, you know, and it was big, and he made it so very little, like this Mālā chal tī hai. So sometimes mine is also becoming smaller, maybe it’s only touching here, not... But something. Om Namoḥ Guru Deva Goṁsai. Om Namoḥ Gurudev Gosai. Tulsī Dās Jī bhī kare hai. Tulsī Dās Jī kare hai Dev Gosai. Bhagvān śuddh buddhi gyān dījai. Prabhu so Mahāprabhujī said, "Please give me śuddh. Pure thinking. In your thinking, there should not be anything negative, not any bad things. Don’t talk to everyone, 'Yeah, this is a stupid person, and this is not good.' Then it is not easier now. Śuddha, śuddha means pure, purity. So śuddha buddhi. What is the buddhi? Buddhi, what is? How is your buddhi, your intellect? In your intellect must be the purities and that kind of knowledge. Please give me." Who said? Our holy Gurujī, "Gyān dije prabhu mohi." "Prabhu" is Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī or Bhagavān Rām. Always "prabhu," "prabhu"... Who said? Hanumān jī. Hanumān jī bar bar kahte ki nahīṁ, "Prabhu, Prabhu, Prabhu... Rām, Rām, Prabhu." So that Prabhu who is Bhagavān, He is my Bhagavān. Who is he saying? Hanumanjī is saying, so likewise, our Gurudev again and again says, "Prabhu, give me knowledge. Prabhu, mohi, please give me that knowledge." That kind of, no, any words, negative words come from your mouth. No. Everything then is something very important. Brahma, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, Deva. Brahma, Viṣṇu, Śiva, the Maheśvara. All these Devas are God. Sabhī kar tumhārī sevā. Guruji said, they all, Brahma, Viṣṇu, Śiva, they are worshipping Mahāprabhujī. Who knows what Mahāprabhujī did? He sang a bhajan day before yesterday. Our Pushpa. She will sing again because someone asked the question. What was that name? No, no, no. How did you... No, no, no. Day before yesterday, no, no, no. So, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, Deva, sabhī kar tumhārī sevā. Kar, kā matlab, with folded hands, they are worshipping you. So, when I was with Mahāprabhujī, or Holī Gurujī, in Khatu, Śivbāghme, and I was walking with Gurujī and going to Gurujī’s room, and Gurujī said to me—I was, I think, in the room—Gurujī said, "Mahesh, this banyan tree." It is only my witness, nobody knows. Here, few are there, but they are, but that, but I saw that. I saw that Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, all there, and in the Khatu where our Mahāprabhujī’s samādhis are, and where we have our Siddha Pīṭha, in that area where it is, Gurujī said that Hanumanjī is doing parikrama here in this place, Hanumanjī. Those who know, know. Others, not. Maybe they will say, "Ha ha... gada danki, ha ha..." So Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, Deva, sabhī kar tumhārī sevā, terā nām sab sukhkārī, terā nām sarva sukhkārī. To isko galat likhā huā hai, make it ok: terā nām sarva sukhkārī. Thy name, O Mahāprabhujī, it is one, very best and very comfortable. Sadā dhīje charno kī sevā, and therefore please sumare sukhī hoi naranārī. So those who will sing the mantras of Mahāprabhujī, then all men and women, it doesn’t matter, all will be very happy, very comfortable. And therefore, Mahāprabhujī, you are, you are the God of the Gods. All Devas are your Bhaktas. Therefore, O Mahāprabhujī, please give me every day the dust of your holy feet. And those who will meditate only on the Guru—many times Guruji said to me, many times in our books—all people now in the whole world, they are making only Guruji. Said that all want to make themselves like, "I am a great yogī, and I want meditation, and I go up and there." It means you are lost everywhere. Only Gurudev. Go to your real Gurudev. Within there, don’t go to the Himalaya, don’t go to the ocean, don’t go there, don’t look in the sunrise, don’t look left, right, and don’t say this darkness and rightness and lightness and brightness and quietness. All is, Gurujī said, nothing. There is one seed, do that’s all. Hold that seed, and that seed will again grow. Otherwise, it will throw away everything. That is it. Therefore, meditate always. Your mantra must be with you at all times. Yes, we can meditate sometimes. It is a way to bring peace somehow, because the whole day there are many, many troubles, this and that. So we are meditating, and we are talking about what is the beautiful forest and ocean and this. But with that, we are with Rām, Rām, Rām. Just Hanumanjī, you know, I taught many times about Hanumanjī. When Hanumānjī and God Rāma and Sītā and all came to Ayodhyā, then there was a meeting. So, Lakṣmaṇa was standing with Bhagavān Rāma. Sītā was sitting on the left side with Bhagavān Rāma. And Bhagavān Rāma is sitting there, and Hanumānjī is sitting in the front. Bhakta, always Bhakta goes and sits there, or standing, anyhow. So, there is a meeting. What is that meeting? What kind of meeting? I don’t know. But there were so many. So maybe they had some program, this, that, I don’t know, but Bhagavān Rām will always have the good things and best things. So Bhagavān Rām is sitting there, Sītā Jī is there, his brother Lakṣmaṇ is standing here, and Hanumānjī is sitting there, and Hanumānjī is looking constantly on the holy feet and toes of Bhagavān Rām. Who? Hanumanjī. And in other man, he has said always double, double Rām. Or sometimes Rām. Sometimes, one has some kind of feeling, and so it is like there is something not good, and that was Sītā. And someone may say it. I did not say, "Please, yes," and I don’t know if someone said it or not. But it is in the Rāmāyaṇa book; it’s there. And so Sītā was a little bit, not sad, but she thinks, "He loves me more, Hanuman, and he doesn’t love me so much like that." Lakṣmī, now Sītā, and Bhagavān Rām. Rām knows everything. Gurujī said anything. I was sitting somewhere under a tree. There were not so many trees in Khatu, and maybe he got this boar. You know this boar from the thorny bushes, some fruits. And Gurujī was sitting there. And there is nothing that Guru Mahāprabhujī has not seen, where it is and where this is. It was a very hot day, so Gurujī was sitting down there, and after he ate a few of these, he, and Gurujī said, "These boars were too sour." Gurujī said, "What? Gurujī, you were eating boar, but they were sour? How do you know, Guru Mahāprabhujī?" You don’t know, I was sitting beside you, you were eating, and you didn’t show me to my side. So what? A gurujī said that always Mahāprabhujī was with him anywhere. That was that bhakti, though guru and śiṣya is that to become one. So Bhagavān Rāma found out. He knows that Sītā is a little bit, a little bit, uh, this way, smoky, but yes, the women are mostly jealous always. Men will not be jealous. Men will be, but anyhow. So Bhagavān Rāma there, he put his head like this, a little bit, and near Hanumān’s ear, and took one hair from there like this, and Hanumānjī was smiling. Hanumānjī was smiling. Oh, my Bhagavān at least took my one hair. But the Rām, Bhagavān Rām, took the hair from the Hanumānjī’s beard; he took it with his left hand and brought it near Sītā’s hair, ear. And what was the sound in that hair of the Hanumānjī? Rām, Rām, Rām. Chant, everybody. What a resonance within the whole body! Bhagavān Rāma said, "In Hanumān’s each and every hair of his body is vibrating with the name of Rāma, Rāma." That’s why I had to concentrate for him also, and so is that bhakti, and therefore it is. Said so, Gurudev, this is bhajan by his other same sadhu, very good, very, very good. So in that way, that is yes. Now is the good, and many you have very good gurus, but inside you have doubt. You said, "Burning in you," and there is one path. One side is a little far, but good water, and one says, "A very thirst, dirty water, but I don’t know if I will come till there, or should I go there?" Then it is not there. There is another story I can tell. So this is what Gurujī was. That’s Gurujī’s satsaṅg, Vedas. In the Upanishads, we have read everything. You have read many times, yes? Take the Upanishads, you will read them. Hanumān, Bhagavad Gītā, you will read them, you have. But what is in the Gurudevs? That’s what is said here. Gurudev said Sabhi kar tumhari sevah, Tera naam sarav sukha kari. Sumare sukhi hoye naranari. Sadguru Swami Madhvaranji Bhagwan, Deepnan Bhagwan ki. And so, let’s be finished, not complete, but only two. And now, one or two bhajans. Sari Om, Deep Narayan Bhagwan. Prakāśa puñjaya marta ke sāga siddhi pārī mādanī o sāre viśvame guñjā rahiye prabhukī amarā kahānī prakāṁ jai amarata kisaga sitīpa. Mahādeva Kī Jai, Hindu Rām Samrāṭ Svāmī Mahādevan Jī Mahārāj Kī Jai, Viśva Guru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Svāmī Maheśvaran Jī Mahārāj Kī Jai.
