Respect God

The divine principle is immanent within the natural order and our own being. The sun is a constant divine presence, essential for life; without its balance with the moon, earthly stability would fail. This cosmic balance mirrors the delicate equilibrium within our own bodies, where each organ is vital. To deny the divine nature of these elements is a form of blindness. The divine is not a separate, distant figure but is present in all things—the sun, moon, earth, and within ourselves. Argument over the form or name of God is futile and leads only to spiritual disease. Realization comes from understanding this inherent divinity in everything, returning fully to the sacred earth that supports all life without judgment. All names point to the same one reality.

"Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down."

"Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth."

Good evening. It is a beautiful time, a beautiful evening. Sūrya Nārāyaṇa is getting his place to lie down for a while, even as he is already awakening on his other side. The Sūrya is always giving light and warmth, all around the whole globe. I have heard that those who travel at great heights see the sun rise and set six or seven times. Our Bhagavān, our God, is Śrī Devpurījī. Even when people did not know, they knew there was a Devpurījī. For some disciples or others, this awareness may slowly fade, but they are always there, like the sun. The sun is always there. We come towards the sun, and we come from the sun. There are certain ways of thinking; many people do not say it is a God. Is that okay? No problem. But that Sūrya is a God. Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down. The moon provides that balance, between the full moon and the complete darkness without the moon. For example, we all know about flying in a big aeroplane for about twelve hours, with more than a hundred or two hundred people inside. Consider the facilities for those people for six to twelve hours: water, food, drinks, everything, and luggage. They ask how heavy it is—only so many kilograms—but the aeroplane itself is very heavy. Of course, these aeroplanes are not only of this life or age; they have always been flying, but with very different techniques. This heavy flight takes off, as we all know. It is held by the big, big wing of that airplane. In the middle of the aeroplane, there is a little part—what do you call it?—like on the head, between. And on the back of the aeroplane, there is a part that doesn't let the aeroplane move in different ways. That little wind there doesn't let the aeroplane fall in the air. Similarly, the moon is such that it prevents the earth from moving too much, like with earthquakes. We can see how the wind is going. In the same way, we all are balanced by this sun, moon, air, etc. Similarly, we humans also have our balance. Some have 100 kilos, some 150, some 80, one has 50, we have 100, we have 10, etc. Let's say we are about 80 kilos, and we are on our foot, just a very little part of our foot like this, and the whole body is balanced on this. We are on one foot, then we step with the other foot. When we are running quickly, we are nearly like in the air, so it doesn't matter. But our leg is very balancing; otherwise, we cannot walk. Our heart, also, we need very much. So everything in our body—how many organs? If the heart is taken out, we are finished. If the liver is gone, we will say, "Oh God, please, oh God." How can one say this is not a God? Sūrya is a God. The Moon is a God. Mother Earth is God. The elements, all, they are God. There is no other one than this. Everyone is a God. Have you seen that God? Did you hear that God? Did he speak to you about that? Nothing. We are humans. We are thinking God will be the God. God will take us. God will take us. Where is he? So, if you believe or not, if you don't have eyes, it doesn't matter which religion you have; you are blind. You may say, "Tell them I'm blind," but what is that blind? There is no light. Similarly, we can say Guru, we can say God, we can say Brahmā, we can say Śiva, we can say Viṣṇu, we can say Jesus. How can you say there is nothing? Therefore, Guru Kṛpāḥ. In our life, we believe, we all believe there is a God, a living God. There was one man, and he said that there is no God. One ātmā, one sādhu, and that one man always said, "Where is God? Swamiji, there is no God? Always, everyone? Swami is the God. God is only in the space; there is no God." Do you know that? He said, "Yes, there is a God, not here." Then go and show us. He said, "Of course, when I go, I will see that God is there." Please, because all the time he was talking negatively: no satsaṅg, no bhakti, no mantras, no prayers, no temples, no church, etc. So he said, "Then we go and see, go there." He said, "Of course, I will go and I will come back." Very good. So he went up, Hari Om. So he can... there is no God, he said. There is nothing, finished. But I come back? You cannot come back. So, Nirakāra and Sākāra: Nirakāra is only the sky, finished. Our sky, many, many times, or every day, shows us there is nothing. There is nothing. So maybe the space is saying, "I am," that's all. But there is nothing, no space. There is no space, because space is a space. There is nothing, no limitation. It is a limitation, very much so. Yes, it is a boundary here, a boundary here. But in the sky, there is no boundary. And what are we like? In a ball, and the ball is rolling, and we don't know from which direction this is. Now, similarly, my dear, don't say that God is there, no. And if then, if then, is that Brahmaloka? That's it, you are finished. So here, everything is here. And the people who said, "We don't believe humans as a God, we don't believe as a guru," God, or some other god, name of whatever you may. Doesn't matter. You will live. You live. You will eat. You will do, but how will it happen in our body itself? That is your confidence. We all know that everything is within us, not outside. So these five elements, and within these five elements we are; otherwise, this is gone. So there are these five elements, and we are within these five elements; otherwise, there is nothing. Go outside in the air and blow air from your mouth. And then say, "Where is my breath? Where is my breath?" I say, now where is that? So, we blow it, where? Yes, something you have with all kinds of this, the smell that comes from your body. So you will inhale and say, "You will inhale and say, 'Oh, it's my breath.'" But not the air, that prāṇa. So prāṇa is here. That's why great saints, great saints, they said, they made temples, they were this and that and that. So, you have, for example, your families. How many ages have you been with that? And all the time they said it is the quality of this and this and this in one. Let's say that one has, what do you call, white skin. Now, this one will go to the black-skinned person, and then they will come together. Skin and black skin, something will be mixing. And then from that it comes other. At that time it is said, stay in your prāṇa, your life. But of course, we are getting now many, and we have completely made it ṛṣi-biṣi. Of course, every one of us has knowledge of everything, like we know that they and we are equal in feelings, in knowledge, in everything. Like now, in about, let's say, 70 years, or a little more maybe, or 50 or 60, how many humans have mixed everything, all seeds, fruits, everything, and so we are suffering many, many diseases. Human is the human, but which? How is it the lion, the tiger, and how, down coming till the dog? So the quality is going down, down, down... The dog will eat everything. The dog will eat everything, but tigers, lions, they will not eat. Only meat. So, how is the quality going down? Similarly, spiritualities and God, how it is. We should not say there is no God, and this God and that God, and there are no temples and that thing. Do not do this. So we can talk about many things, but you know, it is just about 200,000 years. How much is that? Jesus. So we know that Jesus was. And now you cannot make Jesus into different things. So it has. And so, Alak Purījī's entire paramparā is there. So, my dear, we should not always make arguments. When we begin argument, then the disease will go more and more and more. So if someone said, "There is no God," and only that one said, "Yes, thank you, it's good." We don't want to waste our time. Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth. And therefore, even the earth is holy. Though we step on it, we work on it, we go to the toilet on it, everything, but this is a mother. You know, when mother, the child, little baby in the home, you're coming, urine, toilets, everything, and mother doesn't say, "Don't do like this." No, she's helping. No more arguments. Your God, their God, my God, every God is the only word: God. We say only Jesus. We don't say Professor Jesus. We say Rām. We are not saying Mr. Rām. We say Kṛṣṇa. We don't say Dr. Kṛṣṇa. There is only one. All are one. Again, the Holy Gurujī said, "One in all and all in one." Alak Purī Jīvadeva Kī Om Śānti Śānti... Prayer.
