Shiva is the light

All beings possess a soul and feel pain, from humans to the smallest fly. Water is life, and God is the living energy within it. To be human is to refrain from intentional killing. Different eras, or yugas, cycle with Dharma's purity declining; we now reside in Kali Yuga. Divinity is not a form but the conscious power from which all manifestation arises, with Śiva as the primordial source. True religion is one's inherent relation to the divine, not sectarian identity.

"A tiny fly, when they see us, they come near us and then fly away. Why? Because they think, 'These humans, they will kill us.'"

"God is that energy, power, protection, many things, but not the form."

Oṃ śak pāra brahma tasme śrī gurve namaḥ. Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādaṁ, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā. Oṃ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Devādideva Deveśvara Mahādeva kī jaya. Ārāḍe Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Mādhāvanjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Alak Purījī Mahādev Kī Jai. In that one is the human. Each and every creature has within them the soul. It means they are living creatures. And it doesn’t matter how big or small they are; they feel the pain. They don’t know, just as we also don’t know, how God sent us. We know that we feel, and we have many differences, which we will talk about later. But even humans or any other creatures, they have, as it is, both pain. Tiny creatures also feel the pain, and we humans also feel the pain. A tiny fly, when they see us, they come near us and then fly away. Why? Because they think, "These humans, they will kill us." So it means they feel how to live, what to do, and they try to hide themselves. In this way, if we are feeling the pain, feeling the little blood, it is. Likewise, there is a big ocean. We all know the big ocean. Our ocean, which is from here, India, to Australia—the Indian Ocean touching the Australian land. You know how long the Indian Ocean is? The ocean is very, very, very big. Our ancestors, our parents, in our olden times—now maybe they are not thinking so much like that—but our ancestors were saying, for example, take this cup. There is one point. Now, this whole part is water, and the whole land from everywhere is just like this. So it means water is here, and in this living place where we are, there is the earth. So when we go to Australia from the beginning, from India, flying long, long... all is called the Indian Ocean. How many creatures are there? I think there are more creatures in the water than on the earth. In this, the water itself is also life. We call it, in some German and foreign Western countries like Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and all this, what they say: "Vodha ajivot, vodha ajivot"—water is life, water is the life. And we said, wherever there is water, there is God. And what means that? God, life, that is God. God is living as God, even in the water. It is said, always when we get up in the morning, we open our eyes, we should say, "I am a human." First, what you said, "I am a human," and if you know that I am a human, then the whole day you will not do something like killing animals and such. But those who are torturing and slaughtering other animals, that means if you are killing someone, then you are not a human. And so, human, if we are human, then we should not kill. But we also do when we are walking with our shoes, our foot, with our car, but that we are not killing purposely. It’s happening like that, and therefore we said, "God, forgive me." So it means not that we are a human, but how we are human. For example, Rākṣasas and Devas, they have the same face, two legs, two hands, one head, everything. But Rākṣasas and Rākṣasa qualities, like this, and Devas also, they know that we are, and they protect. Though we know that the Rākṣasas are more than the Devas. But from time to time, it is said the yugas: Satya-yuga, Dvāpara-yuga, Tretā-yuga, Kali-yuga, and further it will come back. What will come? Prati-parla. Now, finally, it is that the whole earth will go up, down, or maybe sink down deep in the ocean. At that time, only those creatures will remain which are living in the water. Other rest, Ārya, Oṁ, Tat, Sat. But that will can be. And we are trying to protect, and we protect. When the Kali Yuga begins, Treta Yuga, in Treta Yuga begins what we call Dharma is good. But my religion, your religion, their religion, etc. Why my religion and your religion and that religion? Before that, it was not like these dharmas: my dharmas, their dharmas, religion, religion, religion. Religion is different. Realize your relation is the religion. But now we say, "This is my religion, this is my religion." This is how it began from the Tretā Yuga. How many thousands of years? Sanātana Dharma is eternal, and it will come again like this. But it can be through because the man begins to destroy. And how? First water, vegetation, forests, animals, and slowly, slowly, killing like this in Tretā Yugas. And now is coming Kali Yuga. And Kali Yuga has begun. In Kali Yuga, it is again coming, then we have to take in hand the Śiva. Between them is Viṣṇu. It is given to Vishnu, he will go, and thus, and there are changes also. Vishnu is in the earth, in water, and it means that life is the water. Water is life, and there, Nāg, the cobras. And that he is holding the Vishṇu’s, protecting the Vishṇu’s, and this says Nāgas. So therefore, as the snakes, they are what we call the, they are crawling, but now they became, they have their poison, and that poison was coming out from the, when they were making the, from the ocean, try to get out the amṛt. And also, poison came first. And these are poisons, like, also like a scorpion’s sting, we can, snakes and many others, which are always bringing the poison. But it is said, "God." We don’t know who is God. There is no God in that way. We can fly, and they went to the moon and separated. They did not see that God is there. God said, "Hey, what are you doing?" There is no God in the form, but God is that energy, power, protection, many things, but not the form. And if God would like to come again on this earth, then it will be that. Then he will come in the pañcāmṛta, and that is annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. In that these five elements are this, then appearing, and first was the Śiva Prakāśa. First was the Prakāśa. Prakāś punja amṛta ke sāgara śrī dīpaharī mahā dhane, sāre viśvame guñj rahe Prabhu kī amar kahānī, no? Mahāprabhujī kā. Our Satguru Swami Madhavānajī Bhagavān, he was making this bhajan. He knows, and he knows that it will be, and before already, Alak Purījī, our paramparās, and so, so the Śiva Satyug, Śiva, that time Alak Purījī, Alak, Alak Purījī, Alak glaciers. Alakpurījī is about nearly 50 or 40 kilometers distance; there is a place called Alakpurījī’s glaciers. Alakpurījī is the kingdom of Alakpurījī. That Alakhpurījī, Alakha, glaciers, from where the ocean or the river is coming. And that Alakhpurījī, when this river was flowing near the Badrinath and so on, that time his disciple, that was the Nandādevī. Nanda Devī, and then Nanda Devī was the disciple of the Alag Purījīs. It was long before, when Pārvatī wanted to have marriage with Śiva. That time, the whole forest was known as the Ganga Devi, Nanda Devi. So when Pārvatī was going and making tapasyā, because she wanted, "I want to marry Śiva." And in that forest, there was a little place where Nanda was, and there Bhagavān comes to there. Parvati comes and makes the tapasyā; they are looking for where she is. Then they come in Nanda Devī’s forest. Before that, it is the time of Shiva’s time. So, Nanda Devī was taking care of the cows. And then comes the tiger and warns, "I will kill you, I will eat you." To whom? A cow. Nanda Devī, she turned into a cow and came in the front, and she said, "I know that you will kill one of us. I will—you can kill me, but two things: first, my name of my gurus, in that river of my gurus, my name will be with this river, and where you will kill me, here will be my temple samādhi. Now you can kill me, tiger." A very big tiger tried to attack, came close, and then he turned. He became the Dharmarāja. Dharmarāja Kāge Devī, I just wanted to know how you are, but she died there. She, among the temple there, the tiger did not kill her. In his one of the books, there is a writing. And Kavi Kali Das, 2000 and more hundreds of years, he was killed in Sri Lanka. That was it. And there was it that one king, and he, the king, was very great, and he wanted to write one poem, and he only half. And then he said, "If that one can complete this poem, then I will give my half kingdom." Many people, nobody comes. Kavikālī Dāsa was there somewhere, and he was somewhere about shepherds. And the shepherds were there, that lady, when she came home. And it said that the king said, "Who can make this poem complete, I will give him half my kingdom." Kali Kali Das, he took this poem, and the half part he wrote it exactly what should be. King Vosaḍ. My God, who was that lady, the lady in the night she killed with poem Kālidāsa with poison. And she went with this poem and said to the kingdom, "Here, I did it." He said, "My God, this lady?" "Yes, I have written it. Look, it is yours." That king said, "I don’t believe you, but it can be. I will call the people, someone, and they will say it." What happens? She was not that one. She can write it. And then he killed the king. He burned, he burned the fire, and, of course, Kāvīdāsa was also killed. That Kāvīkālī Dāsa was killed in Sri Lanka, and he was from here in Madhya Pradesh, nearby there, Mahākāla Kālī Mandir’s ashram. Where there is also Krishna’s school, like this, in that way, great sense all, and so the Nanda Devī temple is there, you go, and the whole forest near Badrināth, and there the whole forest, many, many kilometers, this is a forest called the Nanda Devī, Nanda Devī forest. And so Alak Nanda then gave Nanda Devī. That’s why it happened. Alak Nanda River. Alak Purījī, Alak Nanda, I’m not, I’ve never seen or heard, I’ve never seen it. But in the books, there is written about this. The talk of Kālīdāsa through the clouds. He was talking with the clouds, and that it has come now. They are also begging in the clouds, bringing all our telephones, and this is going through the clouds. That is such a great people. So that such a great people, and it is a Himalaya Bharat that was holy Gurujī Swāmī Madhavānandajī. When he came first time to Europe, may I told the Gurujī, "Please come to Europe." And then some people asked question to holy Gurujī, our Gurujī. Madhavānājī Bābājī said, "Gurujī, we were all sitting nearby me. I was sitting down, and Holī Gurujī never let me go sit down because I cannot sit with my Guru on that place, or I cannot sit near my Guru on the chair or on the foot down." Well, anyhow, people ask the question, Gurujī, many things. And one said, Gurudev, what is beautiful is that India has so many gods. Why don’t we have so many gods? What is that? In India, there are gods, and now in other countries, here we don’t have. Gurujī said, "Well, where the god comes, the god, and where the koel comes, the koel." So Gurujī said, "This is not my..." So, where koela, so there is something. So I think there are the mushroom, the poisonous one. A little I ate. Hari Om Tat Sat. Gap chat. Rest all are Sat. Ram Nam Sat Hai. Thet Gaya Gat Hai. Ram Ram. Sat Hai Thet Gaya. And the second mushroom is tasteful. We all eat very well. But please don’t try to eat the mushroom until you know. Otherwise, Hari Om Tat Sat. In the same way, this is different with the creatures. Satyam, jalchar, tabchar, and nabchar. In this all. So Shiva is that first, how? Prakāśa, Prakāśa, so the consciousness, the conscious end, the space, we don’t know what is what, and therefore there it comes all before the Shiva, it is that balance. About this, I will not take a long bite. So this Shiva said that Shiva comes, Prakash, and then it comes, all this whatever. Therefore, Śiva has no mother and no father, no birth and no death. That is only Śiva. All others are by birth. Shiva has brought Vishnu and Brahma, and Shiva said. But we said that people said that Brahmā is born from Viṣṇu’s navel. No, wrong, no. Then Shiva comes and Shiva said, "Vishnu, I create you in the ocean, and Brahma, I create it." I am Śiva. Don’t think that so Nābhi says, "Navel," say, "Viṣṇu ko nahīṁ layā," but from the navel, the navel of the Viṣṇu comes out above the water. There will be the seeds and so on, but on that was sitting the Brahmā. He was not created from that, but Śiva said, "I give you āsana. You will be creators now." So I give you this asana, and that is the flower. What is that? Lotus. Lotus, it is not there. Therefore, in that way, come and see. Yes, we have in our brain difference. We have more everything. That’s why we are the human. But it means not that we will kill all and do this, that’s very important. So, yes, today is a very nice day, and thanks to my Prabhujī, and Mādhāvanandjī, Bhagavān Devapurī, Bhagavān, sometimes they give me some thinking, you know? I am not a good thinker at all. But when I sit, then Gurujī Prakāś Prakāś Puñjayaṁ Hṛt, who will sing the bhajan? Who is that? Puṣpā Prakāś Puñjayaṁ Hṛt Sāgar Śrī Dīpā Hari Mahādhānī Sare Viṣṇu. So in that way, Gurujī was saying, but people said, "How?" Gurujī said, "There is light, and it will be, and it will remain." Now they are saying, "Yes." So first, for a new, nice child born, they will give first, and then will come the Prakash. "Come, son, come," say. They will say after that, "You will, okay, come, come, say, ’Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī Jai, Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī Jai,’ say." Structure, bolo.
