Chanting Om together from the nābhi to the sahasrāra. Namo Siddhi Prabhu Dīpa, Namo Siddhi Prabhu Dīpa. Amma Śabdhās Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇa, Amma Śabdhās Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇa, Amma Śabdhās Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇa. For the last ten days, we have been chanting intensively. These mantras were for all people who have problems—illness, family issues, many things. People send messages for their physical troubles. Many know that, Gurudev, we will continue on the path, surrendered to our Gurudev, Ārādhyadev Bhagavān Alakpurījī, Bhagavān Devādidev Deveśvar Mahādev, Ārādhyabhagavān Śrī Dīp. Narāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī and our beloved, what we call the Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandajī, known throughout the world as Holy Gurujī. Holy Gurujī’s vākya means his words always came with the power of truth. Many times, some people come only for a while and then leave, or they want to get something. But Gurujī said that is not good for you. They insisted, "I want to have it like this." Gurujī said, "That will be very problematic for you. Do not ask this." But people said, "We will do it." Still, Holy Gurujī always gave blessings. He would say, "Come to this path, do this mantra, do that," and so on. That Gurujī also said that Param Gurudev’s words should definitely be the real, and the rest will fall away. So, Param Guru Swamījī—there is a bhajan. It is said that when I came to him, our Holy Gurujī said, "Then, Param Guru Swāmījī, O Param Gurudev, who is Param Gurujī?" Param means Parabrahma, Paramatmā, and this is step by step. We are all here now. It does not matter which country you are in; you are one with me. I am here with you, but you and I are all one at Holy Gurujī’s holy feet. That remains pure, and therefore it does not matter where we are—anywhere on this earth, on this ocean, and also in all the many, many different realms of the universe. Therefore, it is said Holy Gurujī always stated very clearly, "Gurudev, I don’t ask anything. And if you are coming into this world, please let me again be at your holy feet." That is our bhajan from our Brahma Nāṇjī—no, not Brahma Nāṇjī—Lala Nanjī. Lala Nanjī said very clearly in one bhajan: Gurusamaye Charanokhi Rajadena Dayalomaye Charanokhi Charanokhi Padakamalokhi Prabho Charanokhi Padakamalokhi Rajadena Gurusha May Charanauki Rajadena Dayalu May Charanauki Naimai Maangu Bhoga Maangu Naimai Māṅgu Bhoga Svarga Kā Icchā Nahī, Dharnā Dvā Icchāra Dvā, Jaya Jaya... Laal, laal, Prabhoyai, laal, laal,... laal. It is said that on that path... Today I received some very nice letters with stories and such. In the Vedas, and even before the Vedas, in the time of Śiva, etc., people lost their knowledge. They lost their feelings and became oriented toward materialism. When we go to the material, we are lost to the spiritual. But all bhaktas and great saints are not far behind, thinking, "I want to have this, and I want that..." No, they are making something for all such Divine souls. It comes from Śiva, after Bhagavān Śiva. There were many ṛṣis, many different ṛṣis. For them, their treasure was only the Knowledge—the science of the human and the science of life. Life includes a stone from the stones, coal, the forest, the water, animals, and humans. We humans are here, and the stones are there. But if they have not followed their knowledge and their feelings, they will turn again toward the stone. It can be a stone. In the Rāmāyaṇa, there was a ṛṣi with some different feelings. The ṛṣi was angry with his wife, and he touched a stone. He said to his wife, "You will become this stone." And truly, she remained and became a rock. It is said that one day when God Rāma comes, if He wishes, He will give you bliss again. And it is true. Bhagavān Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, and Sītā were traveling and came to a beautiful place of one Ṛṣi. That ṛṣi was gone, but other ṛṣis were coming there because people—what we call one after another—many are still following. So, the followers of those ṛṣis once told God Rāma, as He, Lakṣmaṇ, and Sītā were walking, "Please, God, we know that for you, this one soul is waiting." He asked, "What is that?" He saw there a very humble, spiritual, divine, and great being—the wife of that Ṛṣi. The Ṛṣi had gone into the forest for fruits. Some Rakṣasas came and one turned himself into the body of her husband. He was with her, and when her real husband returned, the Rakṣasa went away. As the Rakṣasa left the hut, he... The husband came to his wife and said, "Who was that in the hut?" That was that. Somebody is asking me something also, "Who was it?" Shobhanbhai, I will call you later, okay? So, he said he tore her out of the rock? He touched her. He hit with his leg, his feet, and said, "You will become stone. I will turn you into stone. We are not faithful." And so, for years and years, ages and ages, it was said, "When Bhagavān Rāma comes, He will make you human again." Then, Bhagavān Rāma was purposely passing through that forest. Some ṛṣis came and told Him about this rock. He said, "Yes, I know." Bhagavān Rām placed His foot on that stone, and she became human again. That science is very difficult: turning rock into humans and humans into rock. It was strict. Now we are lost, more or less like animals—eating like animals, living like animals. But still, in the whole world, there are great people searching on the path of the holy saints. Guru Kripa means blessings. "Guru" is a Hindi word. "Gu" means darkness, and "ru" means light. So, Guru knowledge takes us from darkness to light. Now we call "guru." You can say in school, college, everywhere you have a teacher. Yes, the teacher means that guru. Further, some other saints or religious people also call some name, or there the Holy Spirit, etc. So, it doesn’t matter if it’s a guru or teacher—they need knowledge. Still, in India, many people... They can progress forward even without formal learning. But in the other world, now in this world and the body called the Western world, or any kind of world, you cannot step further if you... For driving a car, maybe you have seen people driving, but they will not let you. You must go to a driver to learn, and then they give you a license. When the license is there, you can sit in the car under your own steering. Who was that? That was your guru who taught you how to drive. How about a cycle? Who will teach you how to go? An aeroplane—the pilot. Nobody can sit inside except their masters, their teachers, the professors who teach how to fly the aeroplane. In the beginning, if you sit there and say, "Okay, I start and I go," where? Into a ditch somewhere, that’s it. It is very difficult. Only a lone pilot—how many miles should he fly alone? There is nobody inside. And we are driving, flying here and there. Per day, per week, per month, how many miles will you fly? Empty yourself. Then again, that is... you know. But I’m telling you how stupid. I’m telling you again, you know, but some may still not know. Then the Guru comes, who is the master of the pilot. The master sits and tells his student, who is in the pilot’s seat. The master says, "This curtain down, dark," and the master says, "Bye bye, start your flight." And go. Blind, sitting there, Gurujī went out, saying, "Go." But before, Gurujī was teaching him, showing him everything, all the signs. Then he will see only on the screen, and he goes. On the screen, everything is written. What we call now when we are driving our bus or anything? Navigation. So, navigation was the navigation of the Gurudevs: "Go there, don’t go there, go this way." But you are saying, "No, I will go there." Then you can say, "Curse it." Similarly, now you take off. A pilot who wants to be a pilot, someone has to... but he said, "What will I do?" Going up, he said, "Oh," and he sees everything. But there is a screen, dark, but there is his monitor. He said, "Oh, I am going up. Go on, there is my village, there is my church, High Church." Nobody was cursing the church. It is automatically going up and up and everywhere, but it is down. That means that again, after not one hour, you have to—minimum, six hours you have to drive or fly big aeroplanes, yes? And then again, you land there exactly millimeter there. Then you come out, and his master will say, "Ah, my friend, my disciple, my son, boy, you are a good boy. You can fly, that’s it." So even in Europe, they cannot do anything. For example, electronics: we make a house, a little room of 20 or 40 square meters. You are one house, and now you are making all the electronics yourself. It will not be allowed. You can make a bias of the best cables, but do not take it out. Who made it? And you will not get permission for this house to come in. So, you have to have studies and schools, college, everything. Like our Gītā, Gītā knows how she has learned, and she’s teaching our... So in Europe, you cannot take the initiative for making some electronic work, yes? You can do something for yourself, like this and that, but because they said this is not for you only, but for others also. Similarly, you are like a yogī. I am a guru, but it’s not only for you. When there are thousands of your disciples there, you should know that we have the electronic connection from Alak Purījī’s, Dev Purījī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s, Holy Gurujī’s. Now the cables are in my hand. I don’t know what to do now. Yes? And there are so many cables, and if I go out, I will be burnt. So, I have to give the cables to everyone. What does that mean? My soul is inside. The Gurudev or God has given it in. But now we come to the very physical part: each and every net of our nerves in the whole body. If just one nerve is not in order, the whole time our finger will go like this, everybody will go there like this. Why? Not like this, because some nerves are out of order. So, we know, you know, you know more than me. Why? Because it’s your nerves, so you should know what you are. Similarly, the little toe—the whole body, from the toes till the top of the head, until... There, and not all the nerves. Now, the hair—the hair is like an antenna. These are our antennae, yes. So take care. When you are not in order, your antenna goes out. So many people are here. Only, so I always say, "My hair, please, my antenna, remain there." By antenna, my antenna, antenna... There is some name in Croatian, no? What is the name Antonia? Antonia, yeah? So Antonia, Antonia is Nick Tanya. So these are everything: our tooth and our tongue. And the tongue—a little nerve or something, this tongue cannot function anymore. If you eat, the tongue will be gone. How is all this? This is an aeroplane. How is it monitoring? So, how is our tongue going? How is our tongue speaking? So, my dear, that is a guru within our self, our body, and that’s why. The ṛṣi said that, "Tīrtha yoga, yoga, what is that? Atayoga anuśāsana." Patañjali is atayoga anuśāsana. Anuśāsana means there is the principle, and where we don’t have principle, then we break many, many things. So in this body, it is innate. You can’t imagine. Sometimes I’m going and dreaming, or I’m meditating, or whatever it is, I see like a beautiful way, the nets, many, many nets, different and very fine. So, meditate always within thyself, not outside of yourself. Those who are giving us the meditation and say, "Let’s go," yeah, we give the... maybe we are also saying, "The trees look there." This is only for those people who cannot understand their own body, their own self. They are completely out of control, and therefore we are just first making that we said good trees and good is all. Now in Europe, you know, European—my god, in Croatia and Slovenia, you can’t imagine, very nice fruit, not tomatoes, something. There, night. What are they? Strawberries? Oh my God, there’s strawberry. And my strawberry, my strawberry is calling me now because my story strawberry said, "Eat as much as you like. I will not disturb you. Your sugar will not go up," and therefore it is very good. And then strawberry said, "Why not a little bit of cream on it?" Yes. I or they said, "Why don’t you make it with the machines? What is that?" Yes. So life is the life. The life is the life into the life is the life. And that will help us understand our body and our Guru. So our ātmā—that ātmā is in our body only for us. Why? Our ātmā is controlling and looking and giving the whole body—all nerves, all glands, all cells, all organs, every bone, everything—all in good order and control. We sleep at night and close our eyes. In the morning, we open our eyes and we see. There are times when it happens, very rare, but some... I had a friend, an old man who died long ago. I was about eight or nine years old. This old man was about 60 or 70. In the morning, he got up and was completely blind. He slept very nicely, everything was fine. Then, doctors—no doctor could do anything. So, our ātmā is watching us, controlling everything. We are, our ātmā, our jīva said—not this jīva, there’s other jīva—and that always controls us: how to sleep, how you will breathe, how you will exhale, many, many things. Because when we go to sleep, we don’t know, but the ātmā and our heart, they know. The whole body is functioning normally. Our heart—I will say my heart. One day in Slovenia, Croatia, on the Adriatic coast, I was swimming for five, six hours. It’s very nice. Anyhow, I said once I will dive down. But my heart, it didn’t say, "I will also slightly, no." The heart was beating more nicely, and the breath also. But breath can stop for a while, but the heart will not stop. That’s called, "Is my heart? You are my heart. That’s my heart." And this heart is there, my ātmā. In the Upaniṣads, it is said that in the heart, in the cave of the heart, there is a very tiny thing, like a small rock, and that is... like a blue color, and that is the ātmā. A doctor will not find it, but it is there. In this somewhere of the Upaniṣad, it said, "Which impression is that?" "It is I, I will know." So there is a written: so guru is first our self. You are the self, your guru, but now you have forgotten. If you are a real guru, then you will not do these stupid things: go to alcohol, go to buy, now meet them, meet. And then, you are not "know thyself," but... If we don’t know ourself, then we should go to the Gurudev. Learn, listen to the Gurudev. Gurudev, śaraṇ tumārī, cintā merī mitāde. Gurudev, śaraṇ tumārī, cintā merī mitāde. So let’s say your heart is very good, but your leg is broken. You don’t worry? My heart is all right, but we have to go to the doctor so that we can again repair our leg or our toes or our heart or anything. So, from the whole body, from within our skin, and even our hair, they are all we are washing through. Controlling our nourishment, our yoga, our meditation, etc., etc. Only humans know how to progress further, because God said, "I gave you everything. Now you go there, or you go there." And so He said, "Of course, I will give you some support, but... you are not calling me, and you are not everything. Then I am the God." Many see there’s no God.
