Blessing of the Saints

The call is to preserve nature as the foundation of spiritual life. Do not fear, for the Guru's grace protects. True experience is of the unborn, formless reality beyond all qualities and names. The mind's creations are meaningless without divine grace. One seeks to become an instrument of that bliss. The Guru's compassionate glory ferries souls across illusion. Human activity is now destroying the vital sources of life. Mountains and rocks are not inert; they channel and preserve water like roots for the entire ecosystem. Dams and deforestation for short-term gain are destroying rivers and forests, creating deserts. Water is life and divinity itself. True spirituality and yoga extend beyond the self to actively protect water, trees, and the entire Earth. This preservation is the essence of spiritual duty.

"Where there is water, there is God."

"Yoga in daily life is not only because my āsanas are good... we have education that we should not destroy our globe."

Do not worry, do not be anxious. Remain fearless, but do not become reckless. Remain fearless, but do not become reckless. Your Sattva Guru takes care of all concerns. Remain fearless, you remain fearless. Śaṅkara is the protector, Rāma is. Do not fear anyone, do not bow to anyone. The power has awakened, the leaf does not tremble. Victory to Śrījī Sattva Guru Swāmī Mādhava Jī, Sattva Guru Deva. Swāmī made the devotees experience the unstruck sound in the Anāhad Begam… Swāmī made the devotees experience in the Anāhad Begam, where form after form is but māyā, the Satguru Himself is unborn. There is no other knowledge, no karma, no body. There is no other knowledge, no karma, no body, O friend. Swāmī sounded the drum of experience in the unstruck sound… Entering, entering, nothing is found, not even a trace of this māyā. Entering, nothing is found, O friend. There is no quality, no quality, both are beyond. There is no Rāma, no form, no shadow. There is no quality, the quality-less melody, no Rāma, no form, no shadow. Swāmī sounded the drum of experience in the unstruck sound… Falsehood, falsehood, none can say, no one says. In the end, the Formless-Void-Infinite-Formless Soul is realized. Swāmī made the devotees experience in the Anāhad Begam. That knowledge, that meditation cannot reach, cannot touch. Swāmī resides, Gurujī’s shelter, the Indescribable, the Invisible, understand this. Lord Dīpa, Sattva Guru’s indescribable, invisible grace, understand. Swāmī sounded the drum of experience in the Anāhad Begam. Swāmī sounded the drum of experience. May there be such grace that life does not seem meaningless. This mind does not know what it churns. It could not become anything of its own making. This mind does not know what it churns. It could not become anything. Of its own making, these relationships, now… May there be such grace that life does not seem meaningless. O, remaining attached in this very world, remaining attached in this very world, day and night. Meaning, for whose happiness it bears millions of sorrows, these days are still spent thus. Bearing sorrow for happiness, these days are still spent thus. Now, may there be such grace that life does not seem meaningless. I wander and search for such a one, may I become a lover of divine love. May I find You, I must keep a relationship with the world. May I find You, keeping a relationship with the world, something should happen. Now, may there be such grace that life does not seem meaningless. This mind does not know what it churns, it could not become anything of its own making. Fill this heart with good feelings, O, fill my heart with good feelings. May such a time come again for the dance of the Lord of the Heart… may it come or not come… Now, may there be such grace that life does not seem meaningless. Bind me, make me Your instrument, make me a knower of bliss. I have placed my hope in You. Make me a knower of blissful wisdom, I have placed my hope in You, O Mother. Now show the way, may life not seem meaningless. This mind does not know what it churns. It could not become anything of its own making. Victory to Satgurudev, victory to the True Seat, victory to today’s bliss, victory to the song. Go, O Gurujī, describe Your glory… Go, go, describe Your glory. For the sake of mistaken souls, You came to ferry them across. Go, go, describe Your glory. With compassion and grace in the heart, devoid of all deceit and guile. In the Yadunāth, the refuge of the people. Describe Your glory to the four directions. Always distinct from sin and virtue, You are not of the three guṇas, You are dearer than all. The question is of the primordial time, the ordainer of destiny. Describe, go, O, describe Your glory. Go, O Satgurujī, describe Your glory, for the sake of souls You took incarnation. Go. Describe Your glory. Your glance is filled with sweet, intoxicating love, it erased the fill of mistakes. The lock from the house is opened, the big lock from the house is opened. Ferry across all sorrows, go, O… You are the Divine, O, Satgurujī, You are the Divine. The abode of Devāpurī is attained through the Guru, the illusion of my mind was dispelled. Śrī Devāpurī’s attainment through the Guru, the illusion of my mind was dispelled. O Swāmī Dīpa, at the shelter of Your feet, Lord Dīpa, at the shelter of Your feet, I take refuge. Go, O Gurujī, describe Your glory. Thank you, our dear Puṣpā Jī. Thank you all, people in the whole world. Day by day, I’m getting the message: "Please make more bhajans." And, of course, they would like to have them, to even catch them. So, those who would like to… Of course, we will make this, and this will be for our ashrams. However we will utilize it, but first of all, we respect and we are very, very happy. We love her very much, and that she is great. So once more, everybody, he said, "Thank you," yes. And every day, there will be nice bhajans. Thank you. These bhajans that we have, they are bhajans from Mahāprabhujī, Lalanānjī, Maṅgīlāljī, Brāhmaṇānjī, Śivānānjī, and our dear Satguru, Swami Mahājānānjī Bhagavān. All this glory. But it means that we would like to know something. Of course, we are talking a lot about our past. And we have the Vedas, we have many scriptures, and many great people. But at present, there are also some great saints. And there are two kinds of saints. One kind does not do anything, but just lets the radiance from their whole body shine for all creatures and for all humans. Such saints may sit in some house with a family or in some big little hut. Some may be somewhere in the Himalayas or any other peaceful places, what we call their rocks and also their caves. And we know that though the mountains are high up and we are low, and we think that we have more water here, we have more… but in all the mountains, like the Himalayas and others, there is a vibration, and this, what we have, is great. Now, human generation is too much, and they have enough. We have enough, but still we are going to the Himalayas, and many are trying to cut the mountains. Now you see, in the whole world and in India too, sooner or later you will see. There will be no more rocks, and it’s not only on the earth, but they are going deep. That means we are destroying. We do not understand what they are really doing, the science. What they are making is something which no one has done, and I said, "I don’t accept this," because they are saying, "I have done the best," but they destroy the rocks. They rock and block the rivers, all little or big rivers. We are blocking, so there are no more trees. And we see there are people sitting here, those who are here about, let’s say, 14 years, 35 years, maybe also lower, that they don’t know. So I would say that from now, today, on the 40 years… I’m talking about desert land and how much of that India has, like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, etc. And there, constantly, the rivers were flowing, and water came from the rocks, from the mountains, and this water was… going from the rocks, mountains, and there are little, little rivers or the creeks. But there are a few times when I flew from Mumbai to Jodhpur or other parts. So we were flying from, for example, Jaipur or Delhi. We flew to, what are they called, Udaipur. Udaipur, there are mostly all these Aravalli rocks, and this, when we fly, suddenly you see there, there’s a down desert, but it’s like roots from the whole, whole rocks, or what we call the mountains. It looks like there are roots, really. It is like if we pull out one tree, and there are how many roots in this tree, round everywhere. And from this rock, this is where the rocks are. In this, there is water somewhere; they are preserving it. Because of big, big rocks, and water is on the rock, and slowly, somewhere, different parts, the water is going now from the Aravalli rocks till that you can say, till Pakistan or the other side, or what we call Punjab, and this from here till… There is one rock, it is one rock which is about how many hundred kilometers? A black, black rock. People are drilling for water, they need the water now, and so when the rock comes, and black stones come, they give up because the rock itself is about 150 meters thick, and there’s no water. Somewhere 100 meters thick, somewhere 40 meters, etc., it is. But these rocks, and there’s our all mountains, these are our life. And so wherever the roots are, the roots are searching for the water. I experience here, we made many, many here in our ashrams, the water tank, about, let’s say, three meters deep, four meters deep, and a little like this, and the trees, banyan trees or other trees, they are about, let’s say, about 20 meters too far. And how they get from the tree, the root, and searching where water is, and very tiny hole or little bit weight that rocks are the roots. They are going slowly, slowly, like our hair. You know our hair? Somebody has, don’t have, but I have. I can show you my hair, and so it goes like one hair and enters into the water tank. And then slowly, slowly, this root becomes thick like our thigh, and from there it is sucking the water back to all these trees. Similarly, from the mountains, the roots are bringing water for all the trees and vegetation. I went trekking there from this airplane from Udaipur. Suddenly, I come to our routes, and the routes are so beautiful. But we see how many, and at that time, 40 years before, there was water in many, many rivers. And now there is only dry nothing. And when there was water flowing, sometimes water was not flowing above, but about half a meter, we can dig, and there is water inside. We were going, there is a place called Mela, and we were going to Mela, and really, and there are some times, on that Mela, for three days, water comes automatically, and people are all drinking water there, and then again it goes down. Now, Nippal Ashram of our Guruji’s, you know, many of our holy Gurujīs, what we call left side and right side, the rivers, so the bench of the river, you can call bank of the river, big, big… Very beautiful trees, many, many mango trees, and these trees and that. And after a few kilometers, or twenty kilometers, there is another river. There may be somewhere about 30 to 40 meters. But all were in the ground, completely water. There it was going, and water was everything. Now what do we do? That there is no water, and those trees are not there. You can see the Gurujī, Holī Gurujī’s photo. Holi Guruji was sitting in the ashram, and from behind is a river, and backside is so big, big,… big trees. And now there is nothing. Why? This is because we humans have made the dam, and we want to have water only for, let’s say, one kilometer or half a kilometer. People can get something for the vegetation, water, but that is another thing. Then nobody speaks about that. Nobody always speaks about that, but I tell you this: maybe the government or others, what they are doing, they make a dam and throw in the water the fish seeds inside, not a seed, the eggs, and that is for these people. For to eat this, what we call the fish, only because of the fish, and only what is some money for them, the whole forest is destroyed. Similarly, in many, many parts of the world, and also in India, there in some parts of India, there is so… much water, because the Himalayas have so much water. There is one of the rivers, which is, I don’t know, what river have you bought? The Brahmaputra. And this Brahmaputra is very, very deep. I don’t know, from here to, let’s say, half of Jodhpur. And how much water is going there? If the government could bring this water to this side, we can be. But of course, there are always problems, this and that and that. So, similarly, many other countries are like this, but there are some countries in Europe also, they don’t want to make any dam, they don’t want to make any pond, and they will get the water even from the other side, but they will not dig water from that, because this is our treasure. And every year in Hungary, there is a water conference. And once I was invited, and I was there. And of course they said, "Because we don’t ask, tell the people to dig a water drill." No. Because you have only about one meter or one and a half meters of land. Below is our government. Yes, in India too, if we will see and see with the gold, a government will answer that this is not your land, it is our land. We have only on the surface, and so many countries, those ministers, those people, they… We are saving the water, and now there is no water, and people are fighting for the water. Before, there was something, now about the water, and we don’t know what, not more. Therefore, this water is life. Water itself, water is life. Jaha jala, jaha jagadīś. Where there is water, there is God. Jala jaha jagadīś. And there are some Europeans who said, "Boda jīvot." The body is water. Water is light. That’s it. But many are lost, not only here in India, but in Europe and in many countries, they are now destroying the mountains. They are very careful. They are from somewhere inside the mountains, and they are taking the water coming. So people don’t see how many are destroying the mountains. This is that our life, and so what you people are coming? So we shall more and more try to save something: water, and save our vegetation. That’s our life. Our life is that. Because we are not a life of the tree, but the tree is our life. We are not water, but water is for us. Therefore, yoga means not only your body. Yoga, spirituality is not only yourself, and what about others? If spirituality is, then come and save all the trees and vegetation, and save again and empty all the dams. There is one dam for drinking, very, very big, for humans and animals. But not every 10 kilometers or 20 kilometers are they blocking the creeks or rivers. That is also spirituality. It is life. We don’t know where God is here, and so in this way we shall save that. Yoga in daily life, in our world, they are really very much, they are working. Many people, they have yoga in a different way. They are making acrobatic, this and that, and that, no. Yoga in daily life is not only because my āsanas are good, but we have our Gurudev. We have mantras, and we have education that we should not destroy our globe. Thank you very much, and tomorrow we will again come to you. Namah Śivāya Om Namah Śivāya Om… Namah Om Namah Śivāya Om Namah Om Namah Śivāya Om Namah Om Namah Śivāya, Om Namah, Om Namah Śivāya, Om Namah,… Om Namah, Thank you.
