Be patient and faithful

True learning requires patience, reverence for the source, and inner focus. The current global pause invites turning inward to ask fundamental questions of identity and purpose. Withdrawing the senses is the primary meditation; using a mala with mantra is a valid secondary method that fosters oneness. Singing bhajans is learning, but one must always credit the original composer, as failing to do so is theft and creates nonsense. Do not believe all knowledge is already taken; like butter from a cow, true insight is perpetually renewed if you tend to the source. Education, like yoga, cannot be rushed. A child learns through gradual stages and requires play to refresh the mind. A student must fully absorb one lesson before teaching another. A pilot trains for years, trusting instruments to land safely; similarly, a disciple must practice diligently under guidance, not seeking quick results. Learning is embedding knowledge within, not merely reading.

"If you eat the butter, what will happen? The cow is with me. Feed the cow with good, and you will again take the milk, and you have the butter again."

"Do not think that I cannot do more. We are here within, and that is the makhan of our knowledge, and that will be fresh."

Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, Ārāḍhe Bhagavān, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, Satya Sanātana Dharma. Good evening to all dear sisters and brothers around the world, Yoga in Daily Life. We are all relaxing in the whole world. The government says, "Please do not create any work or dust." Don’t run here and there. Just relax and sleep. Eat little and meditate more, and sleep well. Do not go out. Be within thyself. It is that the whole day we are outside, talking, thinking a lot. It’s only our body with us. Our body we are using, only that we are living. But even we do not concentrate on our body. All the time running, walking, working, swimming, talking, everything. So the corona has come and said, "Relax. Many, many years you were working very hard outside, but now, oh man, think within thyself: who are you, where are you, and where will you be after that?" In this way, there are different ways of meditation, different kinds of meditations, but the best meditation is: withdraw thyself. That’s all, no more. Or some, they are doing outside thinking, this and that. If someone is going for outside thinking, then it means that... Like you are working now, you are sitting and go for meditation, and you, we are looking somewhere, this and that. That time is still we are outside. And second is, if we want to have something, then we said mantra. It’s not easy to make today’s. Meditation, it is not good, easy. It’s not easy to make a mālā, yes. We are making a mālā, everybody, yes. We have everybody in hand, and every time talking, "Yes, yes, good, good." This is just... this is each and every seed of the rudrākṣa, and it is in our hand. And now we know that we are concentrating on the mālā. And when with the mala, because of the mantra, then it means we are with the mala, with our mantra, in our oneness. That’s very important. Or, if not this, then sing the bhajans. Bhajans are lectures or teachings or learning. So satsaṅg, bhajans, and the bhajans, now people sing a few words and nothing. They have not given who gives you this mantra, bhajan. And many people, they don’t give the name from the bhajan, who wrote it, who did write this, and who gave us this. So name, always. All, many, many ṛṣis and many great saints, sādhus, or someone, they are making one month in one bhajan. And then in the bhajan, they give the steps on it. And what that means is that step from my heart, I wrote one bhajan, and it’s my name that I was. Not that I did, I’m very proud. No, no,... not proud. But we tell somebody who did this. It means you are hiding or you stole it from someone. So, mantra and bhajans, mālā—you should know that you did, you are doing. Then, is there truth? And nowadays, they are not giving the name. Or, now many people are writing something, bhajan, and then giving the name of other saints or yogīs. And then they think, "My bhajans, which I wrote, I gave in the name of another one." Mīrābāī, for example, Guru Gaurāknāth, etc. So, Mira knows that Mirabai has written it. Many people are singing bhajans, but they don’t say Meera at the end. And that means you are stealing; you are broken. And it is now that many people, how they are doing, or they are making something which has not any sense in it. When there is no sense, then it is nonsense. So many people, and so one day, Holy Gurujī was, it was long ago, about 1966, and there Holy Gurujī, our Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, I was in the Jaipur ashram, little as it was, and there was no house there. It was only sand and some people’s houses, not houses, but huts, agriculture. So one day, one man came, and he asked a question to Holī Gurujī. Sometimes, people are thinking, "I would like to see if this master or this swāmī can give a good answer or not." They will say, "Yes, and thank you," and this, "Yes." So, there are three in my mind now. So one swāmī came and he was sitting there. Holy Gurujī was sitting in his paranda outside, and a sādhu came. Gurujī said, "Sit down." So he said, "Swāmījī, how is a distance from earth to heaven, and such a people?" Such a sādhus, they are only going to tell something they also don’t know, and they just make like a confusing. So Mahāprabhujī, holy Gurujī, said, "Sit down. What do you want?" "No, Gurujī, I just want to know: Māras, Pṛthvī, or Ākāśa, how long it is?" How many kilometers or this and that? Holy Gurujī said, "This is the... it is said, this is the distance of the heaven and earth. From your foot to your head, there’s no more sky above. Go sky everywhere. So your height is there until there." Yes, Swamiji, it is the truth. He said, "Then what? Sit down." So sometimes people are asking only some kind of questions. And they think maybe this guru is good or this person is good. That’s it. So the second person came and he said, "Gurujī, I’m very happy to see you. And I know that you have many books and bhajans, Mahārājī. Maybe bhajans, I also want to write the bhajans, but I cannot because all great saints, they took all words. There is nothing to, so it is just what they... I have written, I am writing again, that’s all, like my chapatis from yesterday, dry chapatis I am biting. Gurujī, Ghee, our milk, chhaas, milk, milk... he ate milk. Butter, butter has eaten. And now only the chhaas. Everyone has taken butter. Now you can mix the water and this. You have got this water of the milk, or something like this, or yogurt." Gurujī said, "Yes, you are great." But sit down. Gurujī was always saying, "Yes, okay." Yes, he took out the milk, made it into a sachet. And the milk, the butter, the ghee, the ghee, the butter, the butter, he took it out. Now, what is it, Gurujī? All these saints, all these great saints, they put the bhajan on it, now it is not there. Gurujī said, "If you eat the butter, what will happen? If you eat the butter, what will happen? If they have eaten the butter, no problem. Butter khāyā to kyā ugāyā? Gai hamāre hafās, dekin marī gai to mere pās hai. The cow is with me. Feed the cow with good, and you will again take the milk, and you have the butter again. There is butter all the time. Cow is there, Gau Māta is there." He said, "Swami, you got the key." So Gurujī says, "Don’t sit here and open the door." So similarly, don’t think that I cannot do more. Only this bhajan is one more, and this Swamiji, more no. Makhan means knowledge. We are here within, and that is the makhan of our knowledge, and that will be fresh, that will be beautiful. He said, "Swamiji, I asked many people, but today you opened my eyes," then Guruji. He said, "Then go and make the milk of the cow." Go and milk the cow, and everything will be fine. Similarly, we are all here. So don’t think that I will not have. Similarly, you can go to the school, kindergarten, yes. At home, the children are good and learning, but they are going to the kindergarten. And in the kindergarten, you will see. When the child will come at home, parents are sending them to their kindergarten. And they come out after two hours, four hours, or something. Then, children are telling new things. Yes, father, I was doing this, and mother said, yes, and there were good people, and this, this. Everything is coming. That means, why are we going? What has happened? So, kyā huā hai uskā? That opens again. The knowledge opens from our brain. But it is in the heart, and not from the navel, nābhi. Everything is there, and so when we practice, we are coming to kindergarten, and after kindergarten, we are coming to primary school. We have it in Britain, so a five-year-old child should go to this school. But now the people, they are all going for a child, or it’s like this: they’re giving teaching, teaching that. Quickly they learn, so they will get quickly. Because in India, our government said after that age, even if you have learned bread, we cannot take you as an officer or someone to study. So they try to get quickly, quickly come in. So the British schools, which are all Commonwealth, and the Commonwealth is of the 52 countries. And that is all they are. In this school, the fifth class begins. And when, you see, Europeans coming there, they are coming on the sixth year. Then comes the child. But even if there’s only two days or one week late, only that, they will say no. Next year, they will give it in the school. So, when a child is born and when they become six years old completely, then they begin the Europeans, which is they are doing so between the kindergarten and learning very much, coming to the middle school, first class or fifth class. We have different abilities that... About the primary, what is the first class? Primary school, then middle school, senior assistant, assistant, that’s three times. Then comes the college, so okay, that is different, different, different. But this is that slowly, slowly in the schools or in the colleagues, or... Universities, slowly, slowly, we have to put in our brain. Let’s say that I know. I have written everything. I know I read it. I read the whole book. This class of this year’s, I have is my book, and I learn everything, and I know. Can you give? Maybe the second, they will not say holy, so all the time again and again, again and again, but their brain is not good, these boys or girls. Then when the time comes, exhumation, then what is it? How much? Yes, because you did not learn. What does it mean to learn? Your brain, you did not put inside. Makhan ne diyā andar ke andar. Kaṁsa makhan? Jñāna. Learning, learning,... learning. Then, you will bring the numbers: ninety-nine. Yes, there are, but these children, stupid children, are now more concentrated on something else. When after they are learning, then they are given something, and that’s called playing games. Playing games again makes... You are fresh in your body and your brain. That not only are you writing, I’m learning, I’m learning, I’m learning. No, get up, put your book here. And at that time, only concentration on playing your football or something, any ball or everything. It’s only for half an hour or one hour. Then come, wash yourself, and then you will see, oh, I have a good understanding. This is why the teacher of the school gives the students and teacher, but now the children are confusing. They have something now, even they have their telephone in hand or thinking other side, and the teacher is teaching something, but... Teachers don’t now teach properly. Why? Because this is a government, and the government is giving money to your doctors, professors, or teachers. But after, they go into their home, and what they said, what they are teaching, is theirs. Tuition teaching, teaching, and that too cannot be completed. Your father’s money went, and school also you have to catch something. That too, money went, and you got into. A game, and it happened. You cannot become a professor because the brain is confused because they are... they should not do, they should not do what they should not do, yes, and you should do what? Eat good, relax good. Sleep good, get up early first, and learn everything and see the good things. Yes, what is this tree? How many branches on one tree? How many leaves? Are these leaves the same or not? Everything, and so you can learn in one month. Whole book, but after a few months, you’ve lost it, and therefore, a whole year. So this is the same thing also for a yogī. You are practicing. Don’t tell Swāmījī, "Teach me again this, and then again, till this." Then hurry up the thing. If you want to learn from yoga in life. I will tell you only one, Brahmṛī, what will happen: the whole year, you go, yes. Yes, then next year, with open mouth, yes, oh my god, it comes to the Bindu Chakra. So this is, so don’t say that my Gurujī did not teach me properly, my dear. At least about this, come till 40 years. 40 years, you are on high, professor, something like that. Yes, after 25 or something, you can learn, you can get something, but you have to go higher and higher and higher. That is, and then, when the aeroplane, you are learning, you became a pilot, and after big... And what they said? They will close the eyes, blind to what is in front, and only there are machines. "Take off, my God, so, so..." Who is beside? He goes with many hours, months, and then he said, "I can do everything." He said, "Yes." He goes out. A big aeroplane is on the runway, and he said, "Take off," and he is going, automatically putting bind. Now, where are you going? But we have everything in the picture. The picture is whole, so clean. Maybe there are clouds and everything. You don’t need anything because on the same path, fly that in the same path, and that will go like this only. You should put this button and this button, you will go and go and... Again, now is a problem. Land, yes, land. Nobody’s inside, and I don’t know where is the thing there? Blind. But inside, he sees everything. That is everything you see, exactly as it is on the screen. And then you are landing already, and then he will say, "I am boggled, yes." So it is similar to this, yoga people also. Don’t say, "Teach me one day already," and do this and do that. I try to give you some teaching; after a few hours or for a few years, again you go into the other way. Also, eyes. How many times are they checking our eyes in the aeroplane if you are a pilot? Heart. Everything. And also, before they are going, you know, the pilot is in there. All the people, they are drinking alcohol and many things, but the pilot cannot take a little bit. And before coming, they have to control that, everything. Similarly, all disciples, the Guru has to control them. So, he said, "What did you eat when you ate butter? What did you eat when you ate butter? We have cows. Put good prasād on them." Dalo or ajayega milk, and us milk me se That is that yogī, and that is that guru, and other gurus, they are saying everything, teaching something. And many, 99% of my disciples, what I am teaching something, the next day they are teaching the others. Ninety-nine, I tell you. So you are sitting in ninety-nine, you are completely in ninety. A hundred you are teaching, then telling, "Yes, Swamiji, do all this," and we will put again, "Do all that." You should know that you are learning one piece. And similarly, Holy Gurujī was always teaching in such a way. Guruji said, one day, that one disciple came and said, "Okay, clean the ashram, clean the kitchen, clean this, clean the Guruji’s langot or cloth." Five years, then he said, "Can you teach me?" Then he said, "Yes, I will give one point." And that, what? Many things, one point. Ekivan. What is that? Gurujī, burden my shoes and I khaḍāo. Kyā nām hai, Guruji? Khadao. Five years or five, nine days or many, many. At least one year. That becomes the Śiṣya or Brahmārī. That Brahmārī, from the one worm, brings the coming Brahmārī and going that, or what we know, butterfly. You know butterfly, how is? How is a butterfly coming, and how is it becoming a butterfly? Before, even the larva cannot walk here and there, hanging somewhere. But one day, when it comes, what does it become? A butterfly. Butter? Fly. So you have neither butter nor flight. You have done it. You lost it, my dear. Lost it. Okay. Then what will happen? Next life. Guru kṛpāhi kevalaṁ śiṣye ke ānanda maṅgalaṁ. But not quickly, quickly, quickly. Okay? Quickly, quickly. Quickly, makani chalakali kambhati bhajan gala chalakali, yes! Bhajan bolo: Shri Deep Nayan Bhagwan ki jai! Dev Purusha Mahadev ki jai! Satya Sanatan Dharma ki jai!
