Sing Bhajans Always

The power of devotional song surpasses intellectual discourse. Bhajan harmonizes the five elemental principles within every being, creating a universal vibration beyond language. Lectures are beneficial, but the clarity of bhajan is unique. Pride is the great peril. A humble king, ensuring no one in his kingdom was hungry, became proud. God tested him by appearing as a starving beggar the king could not satisfy, revealing his spiritual poverty. Ego destroys everything. Do not claim a fixed seat or position; such attachment is empty pride. Perform good actions now, for the future is unknown. Chanting is good, but bhajan holds a special power.

"Bhajan is that which goes in every human, and also many animals and birds, etc."

"In my kingdom, no one should be hungry... And every day he comes and tells, 'Is anyone who has no something?'"

Our idea, one city, Nara and Mahāprabhujī, they were the day they wish for my day. Beautiful bhajans, or bhajans are very beautiful. After many, many lectures, many, many giving some kind of questions, questions, some lectures cannot be compared with bhajans. Bhajan is that which goes in every human, and also many animals and birds, etc. Because it is like a tune, and that tune is Bhajan. And there, in everyone, all five tattvas are in oneness, balance, harmonious. And therefore, we should always sing the bhajans. Of course, there is also what the people call, and that’s called the, what they call, that kind of chanting only. Only chanting, yes, we can: "Sītā Rām, Sītā Rām, Jai Rām, Sītā Rām, Jai Hanumān, Jai Hanumān..." Jai Jai Hanuman, Jai Hanuman. So, this is we are just going in one part, but nothing is leading something with indecide. So, chanting mantras is good, but bhajan, there is a clarity. Of course, one thing is not, and that is the lectures is okay, we are talking, but bhajans, if we don’t understand the language, then of course we are a little back. But those who don’t understand the words, what is giving? That vibration, but of course, if someone tells, for example, myself, if someone is singing bhajans in the French language, okay, I will think it is a bhajan, but it is not that which we can understand. So it is said everywhere in different languages. And there are bhajans in every country, there are good bhajans in every language. They have the bhajans, we call a bhajan, they call singing and the spiritual things. So lectures are good, okay, but everything is going in all five tattvas. Going through the bhajans, we see now that in this nearly three months, with the singing of these bhajans, prayers, and thinking in a humble way, there was no disease, nothing came to us. We are all very clear and very... So, it is very nice, nice to see you. Yesterday, I was in Khaṭū and Śivag, where Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī mostly was. There was a beautiful house, and there is one bed and a little to sit, that’s all. So in his room, Mahāprabhujī was resting, sleeping, and in the other room, Horīgurujī was sleeping mostly. And so Gurujī, Horīgurujī, said that he didn’t know if Mahāprabhujī was really sleeping or not, if Mahāprabhujī was dreaming or not. If Mahāprabhujī is in what we call samādhis, who am I or who are we that we can say Mahāprabhujī was sleeping or dreaming or in samādhis or else? Could you understand our beloved Holy Gurujī, and he knows when and what happens with Mahāprabhujī. So that is that great. We don’t know if God is sitting beside us or not. There are many questions and many things. It happens, and there’s one story I told you one time because Horigurujī told the story, and God is testing. God will also... See, God will see that this master is good or not, this king is good or not, that master is good or not. That person who said, "Yes, I’m in the temple, I’m a holy person," so God comes to make it: how is this person? So, one king, the story I told a few... Sometimes I think that was from Holy Gurujī, so that time what they called the king, and now are the prime ministers and ministers, and that is the same thing. The good ways that our ministers are only for five or four months or four years, and then... They, if they are not good, will go out. Hurry up. But the kings, they were completely caught in them. So it doesn’t matter if he’s a king, is he good or stupid or whatever, but his son, his son in that family, only they are all the times. As the kings, and one who has no chance to tell them anything, so we know now how we are happy and we are very good. Yes, everybody thought they want to, but they feel, "Yes, I am a minister, I am this. Yes, I am rich, I have power." How long? So there was one humble king, and that king’s kingdom extended from Rupawas to Pali, at maximum. Or Sojat to here, a few five, ten lands, or the villages or something. Or some had a big, many, like Jodhpur, Jaipur, Nagar, etc. Okay, that is a bye-bye, okay? But very, very many kings, they were like a saint, and it is said the kings are there, that if it is rājā mahārājā. Rājā is the rājā mahārājā, and that is above. That is the master, God, yes. That was so. It is said in the śāstras, a king is that who is a yogī, and a king who is not a yogī is not a proper king. And where is not a proper king, is not a yogī’s, so that. Kings were like holy saints, and then they were saying not only their family but the whole kingdom, all people, were for the king. It was like his children, and therefore it was many times said that the king has so many children, so many children. Yes, because the king tells everyone, "They are my children." "My children" means that, like, all of them—all women or the ladies—they are my daughters, and their father, or their children, they are my children. That’s it. One king, he said. In his kingdom, he sends all his messengers into our territory. In the kingdom, no one should be hungry, no one should be unhappy, no one should have problems, etc., etc. Everything is as my own child who is crying, and we have in life that was. That king said, "No one should be in my kingdom hungry." And every day he comes and tells, "Is anyone who has no something? Problems to take out, or this and that?" One day, God, the king, he comes from his palace and comes to the on it near. The house or palace and nice trees, and this morning, sun rising, and the king has his mala and only wants to know: how is my kingdom, how are my people, how are my animals, how are my birds, how is my forest? Everything, and then one day the king said, "In my kingdom, everything is so good. I am very happy." But he became proud, became proud. And when one is proud, then pride is ego. And then that spirituality, that happiness, the love for the whole kingdom... Slowly, slowly, that I am, like, you know, sometimes we see in Rāma Bhagavān Rāma’s, and there was the Śrī Laṅkā’s king, and that Rāvaṇa. Rāvaṇa always said, "My kingdom." Because Rāvaṇa was a great learned one. Many siddhis, and he was very much Śiva’s devotee, but he said, "I am that." That was the one full of ego, and then when it is this, then you lost, we lost everything. Where the king was there, coming out and looking. I hope everything is okay in my kingdom and near, and then one comes, a very poor beggar, having only one half dress, a little hanging in the tattered, some, uh, just saw or something, no shoes, no shop, hair like something like this, and very thin, and one part king. I’m dying. Oh, in my kingdom, who are you? I am. You are. From where did you come? Hey, my dear king. But give me something. I’m dying. Don’t ask me. He said, "Bring the food quickly." But he said, "Where are you?" He said, "Just behind your room, where you are sleeping, there down. And nobody comes to give me food. Nobody gives me a dress." And now I don’t know when I had something to eat, please. And the king said, "I give you quickly food." And they had one pot, and they gave food. They are empty. Many, many chapati put inside, empty many things, and chawal, and fruits, everything. "King, I am hungry." The king said, "You are some miracle." I will give you, you will be very, very rich, with gold, gold inside that, diamonds inside. Everything goes away, nothing there. "There is a king, please, I am hungry, I’m dying." The king became very, very unhappy. "What can I do?" he said. "Please, King, give me." Something that my stomach is full, but everything. Then the king said, "Who are you, my dear?" "I am nothing. All that I give you, I can give. I have nothing now. Who are you?" "I think you are something." Then he said, "Yes, king, you are lost and lost your ego and your pride, etc." And so, next life, you will be the beggar. I came here from this beggar, me, to the king. And he said, "I am the God." Immediately he appeared in the form of the God and said, "My dear, don’t be proud." And that’s it. Many, many people, in many lectures, many satsaṅgs, yes, many, many people, some are sitting there, one is sitting there, one is... Talking there, one said, "I am better." There are these, you know, like Pushpa, all of them, every day she’s sitting in the front. Can she not sit outside, outside a little bit? Or always the Haripurī, always comes to come to the Pūrṇimā, praṇām, and agarbattī. Why not someone else? Bring someone to the front. I have so many disciples. When I go to the ashram, any ashram, there are certain people always sitting in the front. And then I said, "My stomach is..." I said, "I am not proud, but I’m also not angry, but I don’t like it." So sometimes I say, good, while praying, you know that Agni Devī is always sitting in the front. So I’m always thinking, I will, next time I will give satsaṅg from there. You stay here. Don’t look also this side. I will sit there and give you the lecture. Therefore, give, give... give. Yes, you know, many times we said, "No, no, please use it properly," and it’s a no. No, they say no. No, please, you sit. And sometimes they are pushing back. That is an ego, and that means that person has nothing. That king has nothing. Then the king said, "God, forgive me," but you know, I was... Testing, you and I know that you are great, my king, but only that ego, and that’s why, and so ego is the greatest. Don’t say no, I will not do. Is someone, this person, hungry, or does he need something, and then I don’t want to? This. Today, I will tell you, "Tomorrow I will die, I will cry, I will die." Who knows what we have to do tomorrow? Do it today. And what do you do today? Just do it now. We don’t know when we will die, so that bhajan, bhajan is so good, so enjoy. Don’t dance? No, no... Holy Gurujī said, "No dancing, no laughing, no instruments, chop chop." Gurujī bhajan lecture jate hai, and Śaṅkarācārya jī was nervous and nervous, and Holy Gurujī, one after the stories. You know that, yeah? So that is it. Śaṅkarācārya jānī, Holy Gurujī will speak 10-15 minutes, then I will talk long. So always, everybody will sit. Don’t say that my seat is here, yes, it here was it there, was it there? That is a good yes, everywhere. So bhajan, bhajan is the great, and everyone, we have same word, everyone. Some feelings, everyone. This, and if he doesn’t like it, he can sleep or he can go. That’s it. So, bhajans, and our bhajans is that one of the best bhajans books: all Gurujīs, Mahāprabhujī’s, and many others, many Mīrābāī. What is Mīrābāī? Yes. What is Sūr Dās? Yes. Sūr Dās. So there are many, many others. Kabir Dās, Sūr Dās, that Dās, all Dās. But which Dās are you? Das. Das means the, our worker. Yes. That is the Darśan. Very good. So bhajan, bhajan gāo, bhajan gāo, bas. Aur kuch nahi. Aur wo bhajan bhi, wo bhi hai. Phir om, om, om. Prabhudīp, Nirañjan, Sabdūk, Bañjan. Jo bhi aapke mantra hai, that mantra is very good. And besides this, we go again, we read, we read the big. So I think the Kākabaṭīsī is very great. I taught you everything in these two and a half months, but how much I taught you, only a few lines will come. Take time, it will take time, so very, very good. And I was in the Kākatū Darśan, and I came, and I hope for the Guru Pūrṇimā we will have. Beautiful programs now, where Gurujī will send me to the Guru. Guru Pūrṇimā, we will have in our Bhakti Sāgar, beautiful Bhakti Sāgar, holy Gurujī’s, yes, satsaṅg, or maybe I am going to the, again to the, they are asking me in. Vancouver, yes, and another one, they are talking to me in Australia, and some said, "We are going to Europe," so, you know, it is like this one. There’s a, there’s a one, uh, pigeon, kabutar, and this kabutar pigeon is sitting on the roof, and we all looking, and we will ask in which direction he will fly when this the pope has been chosen, and then this and that. And there was one pigeon, not a pigeon, it was another one, sitting on the tip of the temple. And till there was already gone deep, sin bent out. But he was there until what they call the white smoke will come. White spoke means somewhere, and then that bird on that side flies. So that was very, very interesting, very, very. It was in Italy, and Italy has the part for Jesus, and that’s what they call the Vatican, and we have our own. Good upon, and this one, oh, mushroom, that’s also big. So all the best everywhere, the good. But ego is viking, yes. And when someone is becoming a sanyāsī and is dressed in orange on it, and then I know they are very great, humble, and good and thing, but also have great ego, yes, my. Disciples that I can tell my disciples, "Yes," and when I say something, then she, "Yes." I don’t want to say the names, and not only this, my sannyāsīs in Europe, I have here also my sannyāsīs, so that’s... Very good, very, very good. And every day, coming very nice program that I will tell you after. Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Om... Hara Hara Bhole Namah Śivāya. Om Hara Hara Bhole. Śiva is in a novel from there. After that, there are many things. This we will come to next time, okay. So tomorrow again, all the best. Good night. Hari Om. Alak Purījī Mahādeva Kī Jayā. Devadhī Dev Deveśwar Mahādeva Kī Jayā. Ārādhya Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī Kī Jayā. Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānjī Bhagavān Kī Jayā. Om Śānti.
