Discussion with Gurudev

Gratitude is expressed for the practice and teachings received. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna reveals inner tensions, linking body and mind. True understanding comes from consistent practice with guidance. The nature of samādhi is explored, distinguishing between the death of the body and the passing of the soul. The body is a temporary vessel; the essence remains within us. Stories illustrate the profound commitment of advanced practitioners who consciously enter samādhi, demonstrating the soul's power beyond physical form.

"Through Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, one learns what tension is and how to release it. My experience is that restlessness of the body means restlessness of the mind."

"Passed away is different... they were with us, but now she is within us. That's the difference."

I have no questions, but I wish to express my gratitude on behalf of everyone for all that we are receiving here. I feel fortunate to say that I had the opportunity to practice Karma Yoga for many years, and now, after all this time, I have had the chance to attend the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. When Viśwagurujī recommended that I continue with the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, he said, "It's for you like..." but he did not finish the sentence. Throughout the entire Anuṣṭhāna, I kept thinking: what does this mean for me? What is it to me? I believe none of us can fully find an answer to this, as everything that is inside is hidden, yet it is vast. It begins with knowing the body. As Mukti said, she was restless. Through Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, one learns what tension is and how to release it. My experience is that restlessness of the body means restlessness of the mind. But when my mind and breath were relaxed, my body relaxed as well. We all experienced the meditation with Viśwagurujī yesterday. I think if we buy the recording and continue with it daily, we will all feel what Kriyā and Anuṣṭhāna and similar techniques truly mean. So, if we are all able to buy this recording and practice with it, we will all discover the secret behind the Kṛiyānuṣṭhāna technique. However, the questions never end when we are with a master like this. Therefore, I humbly ask, on behalf of all, that you give us your answers gradually as we need them. Thank you very much. Very good lecture. Lecture and question are different. So the question: sour and sweet. Does anyone have a question? Yes. What does she want? A spiritual name for the mother. A spiritual name. Okay, very good. Today is cold, yes? There is nice sun now. Sureś Devī. Sureś Devī, yes? The Śakti of the Sūrya, the sunlight. Very good. Anyone else? I have one question. Because you said several times we can practice at home as well. If someone practices at home, should it be the same practice every day, or can it be one day yes and one day no? What do you think? This Anuṣṭhāna Kriyā, Anuṣṭhāna, Kriyā, Anuṣṭhāna—this is only here in seminars. Otherwise, you have your Kriyā and your āsanas, prāṇāyāma, etc. Generally, all continue. Thank you. Yes. Thank you, but you are doing too much. And sometimes this, and sometimes that. That's not good. Put your... Yes. Hey, speak loud. We can't understand you. I would like to thank you for this opportunity. I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave to the people who live here in the Strylky village. Everyone uses it as much as they could because it is a very great opportunity, so we are very grateful on behalf of all the people from Strylky. So the Strelky who are living here are all who were here now. Okay, so you need not talk anymore, okay? Only she is talking about who is here 24 hours, the whole year. So who are you leaving? Please, hands up. Okay. So one, two, three, four, five, six. Thank you. Six people. Others don't know. Thank you. Sit down. Anything more? Okay. Did you, this whole week, or two weeks, or one month, were you practicing? And did you put in your mind and your heart what I told you yesterday? You don't know anyone like that about belief. And about confidence? Trust. Very good. I will not see. I can tell you something very good. You should not remember, so every seminar you must come again. Yes. Thank you. So it means all should come again and again and again. So then I can also come again and again. Anyhow, thank you. Very nice. And we come to our program again. We were thinking towards Mahāprabhujī. In the last three or four days, or three days, I asked something, Mahāprabhujī. And I can tell you that He gives me back what I want. So, not talking about food, some other working, etc. But what is in your heart? Because our brain, our mind will go. The mind will go, but the ātmā, that will remain. And that Ātmā is within ourselves, and so that will go into oneness. So what we have in our Ātmā, that is very, very important. Yesterday I wanted to bring one paper, and this is what we call our prayer. And thank you very much. Oh, very good. Like a person should be good. So, you know, we have so many prayers. From Alakāpurījī's prayer, I don't know. But he himself is complete, one and one into us. One in all and all in one. He is one in everything, and everything is in one. Similarly, Mahāprabhū Devpurījī. And Devpurījī's people are saying that Devpurījī, at the same time, was born four times. That I will not tell you completely. Otherwise, you will again run into the Himalayas. But it is. He made the samādhi. You know what is the samādhi? I will tell you that anyone who dies, so we say, "It has died." It can be the animals also, any creatures. We say, "Oh, it died." But then we say, for humans, we have a different term, that this person passed away. Someone said it died, etc., this body from any creature. This is like our sleeping bag, and that sleeping bag has everything inside. What is that? Our body, and everything is inside there. But now this, we get up and we go further. Similarly, from this, our skin and our body, we go out. Others tell they died, etc. And we said, they passed away. And passed away is different, and others said it is the incarnation, or it is gone to Brahmalokas. Then another thinks, "Some say it is born, and others just appeared." So we are all born. Even Kṛṣṇa was born, Bhagavān Rām was born, Jesus was born, and more than all. But we only know that only Śiva was not born. And He is still constantly coming and going, Śiva. So that when Śiva comes to us and goes out, we don't know that He is within us. Sometimes we say that someone died, then we are sad. So what did we say? We said he has passed away. We said he was with us. Our mother, our father, our friends, our husbands, our wives, or friends, and so on. Dogs or cats or alphabets or anything, cobras and chobras and everything, so they were with us when they died. We said they were with us, so when someone had that, it was attachment. And attachment means "with us," but now they are gone. But we are sad we don't see anymore, but others said, "My father was with me my whole life, my mother was my whole life, all my brothers and sisters." They said Mother was with us, but now it is said she was with us, but now she is within us. That's the difference. You were separated there, and that your feelings, your soul, ātmā, is within us. That's why we still have more emotions. We go to the mother's funeral place. Now, very soon, time is coming when you will go to the cemeteries, and where? In the hospital, not hospital, in the church, or where they grave in the earth, graveyard, graveyard. And then we go there once a year. Many go there every time, many times, but at least they go once a year, and we give the flowers and lay a light, etc. So it means that we are with us, but not this body. That is very important. But they will not be with you in that form. But that one day, milk in the milk and in the water is the water. But water and milk came together, we can't see the water or we can't see the milk. But we see that milk, the color, so that is with us, that is important. And so many sādhus, many mahātmās, they have different kinds of also feeling. And we said, so talking about human body, it is said that if someone dies, they will take it somewhere far, and in the forest where all animals will eat them. There are some animals who also eat the bones. Because they said that when I die, distribute to everyone. This is their choice. Every bird, every animal, all they are in the forest, they are eating and going. Others said they will put them in the ocean or in the rivers, and where the animals, inside creatures, fish, etc. They said, "Please, let us flow with the water." The third said, "Please bear me in the earth." That we call samādhi. Many times it happens, and you know that I can show you the persons. So there are two: one is, first, gave up his body, died, then we put them in the grave, and we make a very nice temple or something. That's for holy people. And that is because of the holy place, but this is only for the holy prayers. Others in the body, they are burying in the earth, and that is what mostly you have here, that you take your parents in the grave, and then next summer, die on the same day they are putting them in. How they are doing, what they are doing, what chemicals they are giving, how everything is gone—that I don't know. And now it's new that in the hospitals, the doctors would like to make a research, something from their body. So they are asking, "Can we give this body?" And that is our scientists, and they are getting bodies, some organs from us, and using them, or how, and that. It is said that people, please, immediately you can take our eyes. Some are trying to put the heart, the kidneys, etc. So they are using even the animals' parts. So what I'm telling is how, when after the ātmā, the soul, is gone, then it's gone. If we can use something, we can use it, etc. So this is a different kind of, when they die, we are making the ceremonies. Now, I can tell you, there are some people nearby, and I can tell you which is reality. In my mother's village, in Nepal, you know Nepal, where I lived for a long time, the birthplace of the Holy Guru, the birthplace of my mother. And that also happened; the Holy Guru was dead. Something happened there, so it's about two kilometers distance. And if we go through a little bit, then it's two and a half kilometers. So there's one village, like from this city to this village and the next village here. I'm telling you a story, but a real story. So there was one farmer, and he was doing prāṇāyāma meditation. He had a farm. He had two, three brothers also, but that elderly, maybe it was elderly or second, I don't know that, but he was doing meditations. Bhajans, meditations, etc. And about four kilometers distance, there was one woman; she was not married. She also went to the spiritualities, and she was making prayers to one temple. And people respected her very much. And she was devoted to another one, this is God, and it's a very, very divine place. And that is very spiritual, and people, thousands and thousands of people, are going there. And even the people are going for that day of his samādhi, the other one. About two thousand kilometers. They are walking to his place, and at this time, they are walking, people are walking, completely new. Some of you have seen, perhaps, that name was Rāmdev, a very holy God, Rāmdev, many, many years. Not this yoga Rāmdev. Now we have the yoga practice of Rāmdev. This is different. It's a name. And so that Rāmdev and Rāmdev's disciple, and she may remember again as she can. I will go with you. I will show you that. So he was there, and people were respecting that girl, or that lady, a very nice, holy person. Now, what's happening? I'm going back to that man. So that man said, "I will, you should give me place here," and he said, "I will sit, live inside." It's not easy. Everybody said, "Yes, no, that, this," and she was coming to him, visiting, and he came in time. That he wanted to go to samādhi, and she said, "My samādhi should also be here." Well, they don't want. So he went, they made a hole about one and a half meters deep or two meters deep, and he was sitting there. It was nicely prepared, and then they put the big stone plate and said, "Don't open." And if anyone will open, you will get... you will be very diseased, like this. What do we call that? Paralyzed. Don't touch. And it was his brother. So he sat down, and all was torn, very heavy stones, and there is nothing, no water, nothing. They put inside little agarbattis and flowers and everything. It's a truth, a real truth. And after a few hours, they had a satsaṅg, people were in satsaṅg, so his brother said, "I don't want my brother to bring out life there." So he opened the stone plate, and a sound came. I told you not to open it, and they see he's not inside. We don't know where he's gone. People are sitting there. And then he was sitting in, everybody, and they put the stone there, etc. And that one was paralyzed, and he got it. So that we can go to see one day, you know, it's very nice. And on that day of his satsaṅg, there is a big satsaṅg there, and that time she died. But she said, "You should bear me there where people said we must do it, otherwise what happens?" And somewhere else she died somewhere else. They dug it deep, deep,... about two meters deep, and there were all the ornaments that women have. She was sitting there and gone. These two I know, and she was about four or five kilometers there; she died. But so it is a very, this I have not with my eyes I see, but all know everything. Holī Gurujī told me also. My mother also. And my mother used to go when she came to Nepal, then she wanted to go to that samādhi of that woman. And her name was Ansibai. So there are many things. Yes, it is. There are miracles; they are there. But don't sit inside, you okay? Alive. Maybe you can sit about one hour or two hours, but there is no oxygen. So that is how the samādhi goes. And it doesn't matter if you are in an orange dress or a white dress, black dress or not. And the second one also I can tell you. There was one master and disciples in one little city, and they were all, both brothers and father, or the disciple. They went to bring the food, and his Gurujī died. So Gurujī said, "When I die, you should make my samādhi." So they were making it, and then his disciples said, "Gurujī was gone, he died." Only they are boring him inside. So the disciple was sad, and he said, "Gurujī, what will I do now?" And the dead body, Guruji was sitting there. He said, "Then come sit beside me." Then he said, "I will wash myself first." "Wash or no wash, it will become earth," said the disciple. He sat down. Both were sitting like this, and he also gave up his life. And then they closed his samādhi. I can go with you, and I will show you. It is here in the ashram. It's a beautiful ashram. And many people are always going for samādhi, and there is one temple. These are the miracles, and it is, many people are still living there. Who told this? One day, I can come with you if you want to go with me, and I can tell them, "Please dig something more." Then they will say, "Yes, come, sit down." No, that I will not let you not do. So this is how the life, how the sādhanā, the practice, the ātmā, how going it is. So that was Śrī Guru Ātmā, Paramātmā, Puruṣottama. This will be the evening satsaṅg. Om Śānti, Om Śānti, Om Śānti. So there is āriyoga.
