Believe or don't believe

The human form embodies a duality of potential, represented by our two hands. One hand bestows blessings, while the other wields destructive power. We need God, but God does not need us. A story illustrates this: a demon asked Shiva for the power to burn anyone he touched. Shiva granted it. The demon then sought to test this power on Shiva himself, forcing Shiva to flee. This shows the danger inherent in such power. Our hands can offer nourishment or violence, just as our eyes perceive but can also deceive. Every part of the body holds this dual capacity. Therefore, one must practice awareness and choose the path of blessing, humility, and non-violence. The techniques for transcendence are within the human body, but they require purity of action and intention.

"If you believe, it is okay. And if you don’t believe, it is okay. You will fall down."

"Humans should never kill animals."

Lord Śiva, Lord Śiva... Lord. Dear sisters, brothers, yogīs, and their lives around the world, and all others, yoga centers, ashrams, all their practices. In our—what God has said—if you believe, it is okay. And if you don’t believe, it is okay. You will fall down. And if you believe, it is that God which will take you into the highest cosmic. We need God. God doesn’t need us. God gave us everything: 8.4 million different creatures, and in that, God has given the humans. And it is said, because when God gave everything, then they said, "Now we don’t need a God," because God said, "We are all given everything." Then we kill the cow. God was, it was like Bhagavān Śiva, and there was a rākṣasa, and he asked for... something. You know that story is very much: the Rākṣasa was hanging down, and he said, "Śiva, till you will not give, I will hang in one tree." Well, Śiva came, and the Rākṣasa said, "What do you want?" Bhagavān is saying, "Rākṣasa, what do you want? What do you say?" Rākṣasa said, "I want to be immortal, immortal." Means I will never die. God Śiva said that no one can be, that I cannot say. Sooner or later, all will go. God Śiva also will go back, and he will come back. Once, someone said, "Brahmā comes, then Śiva comes, then Brahmā comes, and Viṣṇu comes, Bhagavān Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Śiva, Bhagavān Viṣṇu." And it is said, it will be, maybe. Don’t worry about when, but it... Even the Brahmā, one day, will be like a little ant. Yes, therefore, Bhagavān Śiva said to Rākṣasa, "You can get anything." Then he said, "Please give me some power." That’s okay. Bhagavān Śiva said, "I can give you that power. I will give it to everyone, to you." Then he said, "Give me power," and power is that: "Hey, Bhagavān Śiva, anyone, my hand goes on the head of any humans, it will burn immediately. It doesn’t matter who is who." Śiva said, "Yes." Rākṣasa said, "Śiva was going." He said, "No, no, stop. Śiva, now, stop." Śiva said, "What’s happening?" He said, "I don’t know. You gave me truth or not? O Lord Śiva, you said that I will keep everyone on Śiva, and he will get burnt. So tell me, give it to me." Śiva said, "Yes, give it to me. Then come, I will put my hand on you, Śiva, first. Then I will know that you have given." Śiva said. He disappears, Śiva goes. Because Lord Śiva also says that on my hand, Rākṣasa will put his hand. That Rākṣasa is like that. There are two hands. All father, all mother, all grand brother, grand sister, grand people, everyone, they should give on our head blessing. That is the hand of the blessing. It doesn’t matter whose child. We all will say, "Oh, nice." Yes, or in that hand to give someone means long life, that’s to give the hand on your head with blessing or good things, etc. Then he said, "My child," we are all children, "visit, child. And I put my hand on you, my child. You have a long life. You have Vidyā, Jñāna, Ānanda. Everything is blessing you, my children." And if we are younger and others are older than we, then they will bless us. So it is that, on the one hand, Gurudev says to his disciple, "In my hand, Gurujī said, there is a laddū and one is a daṇḍa. What do you want?" Then we all say, "Laddū." Ladoo is good, but you didn’t do a good job. And you will run here, you will not study. And you talk bad things, then the stick will fall. Where? Tuck. Blessing? Tap. There are two hands; you all have two hands. And in your hands are both. Therefore, before we come to others, we don’t ask the laddū and daṇḍa. But we say praṇām. And praṇām means you and me, we are one. And if you come, shake hands. Nowadays, shake hands. Roti, badawani, shake your sabzī or your chapati. Or you shake hands, and the other side is a knife. Or in your hand is a kronas, and you say, "Hello." Then say, "Hello, hello." We will go together in Corona. So our ṛṣis, munis, yogīs, Bhārata, our Bhārata, they all said, "Praṇām." And not only this, also in Jesus, and they also were with the full hand. There is one very nice hand, made very nicely, painted, one hand. And what was that? I am one with you, you and me in our hands. Therefore, "ek hāth meṁ sūrā, ek hāth meṁ gāy lāḍū. Ladu day kei wo gay haan, pet mein tha." There is. That’s why, then, thanks to God that Rākṣasa did not say with both hands. So, he ran to run, ran to Śivjī. You know that many times we have told this story. Now, Śivjī had a snake on his neck and three shoulders, and Śiva was running, running,... and the Rākṣasa was coming. Śiva was running, running. There came a rock, a big rock, and in the rock, there is Viṣṇu Bhagavān, Śivajī. Run into the cave. Where is Śiva? In that way, Viṣṇu came. Bhagavān Viṣṇu said, "He is my Bhagavān Śiva. He is Prabhu. You are running so much. You are very tired. What happens? Come, please. Sit, and I give you water or milk or something. Why are you so like this now?" He said, "Know the Rākṣasa has come, and this and this happened, and he will come and put on both of us. Brahmā and Viṣṇu both will be, Śiva and Viṣṇu will die." Śivjī said, Viṣṇujī said, "Bhagavān, Śiv, rest, rest. Have a nice water. I will take care of it. Please, please, Viṣṇu, don’t do it for that Rākṣasa." He says, "I will do everything." So what is there in one hand, and what is there in the other hand? What has come in the form of Viṣṇu? Lakṣmī. Lakṣmī has come with money. She came and did this and that. She came and did this and that. You say, "Who is he? What is he doing?" Rākṣasa. Lakṣmī is like this. Rākṣasa said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am, you are one lady, girl." He said, "Yes, you are very beautiful." He said, "Yes, I am searching for a good one. Oh, you." He said, "Okay, I will be your Rākṣasa, Viṣṇu, Lakṣmī." But only one. So I will dance, show me how to dance, he said. Put it about in 20 meters distance on the rock, a very nice rock. Stand there, he was standing there, and on the other rock was Lakṣmī, and she said, "Now how to do?" I will teach. I will give you how to dance, he said. Oh, very good. Then he said, "ta ta... Ta, ti, tha, thi." And he goes, "ta, thi, ta." Oh, that, this. He does that, this. Hari Om. Rākṣas manna. Mitti ho gayi. Bhagavān Viṣṇu, vapas Lakṣmī mann ke āye. Kyā Bhagavān ke? Śivjī ke, kyā ho gayā? Arey, vo to ho gayā. Rak, fire, rak. Yes. So that means, still in that rakṣā, have you with us one hand and second hand, and therefore, first, hold your hands out. It is that’s why in this both power. And that’s it, child, brother. Grand people, grand mothers, everyone. Who am I? So don’t try to see that is good and I will take that. Yes, you can take it that way, and then you will be put in powder. Sādhanā practice to become that Satya Sanātana Dharma. O prāṇī, Bhagavān God has given the eyes, and what the eyes are telling, but you don’t know what is in your eyes. Therefore, you should know what your eyes are telling you. And sometimes, eyes are so good, but the knife is somewhere else. Or someone is looking like this, yes, very good. These two eyes, we also, they are different. That’s why, from before the birth, in the mother’s body. When they were born, then two sisters came together. Everyone, you have two sisters with you now, and they cannot see each other. Still, those eyes, these are the eyes, and we don’t know what is in this eye and what is in that eye. Here it will say yes, and here it will say yes. There it is. See this. This left eye cannot see the right sister, and the right sister cannot see the left sister. They are talking, but they don’t know, sister, when we will see why God gave us, why we could not come, those eyes together. So we have made an iron, the glass, or the water, that is. But sometimes, what is happening? One dog took the chapati from someone big, and he ran away. There was a little pond he wanted to cross. He looked down; there was one chapati, one more with one dog. That dog, who had a chapati in his mouth, wanted to go. And he said, "Huh? How? There’s one dog more and chapati." He said, "I will take this chapati from this," and he came near and near, and he said, "Oh, chapati, that is your eye. What you are looking in your eyes? You don’t know what your eyes are telling." Will be telling us that it’s similarly our hands, and also our, both parts of the bodies, the head, our, what is that? Heart, heart, my dear, my heart, darling, my heart, yeah, but this darling sitting here somewhere, yes, I will do this, but there. Are there two parts of the heart? No. But is there something in the heart that is moving? Therefore, my dear, through the whole body, be careful. Therefore, be humble, be kind. Take care of our hands, take care of all of our bodies, talk everything. Our hands, our fingers, yes, fingers can suddenly tell you something. One finger can make you think, "Yes, this was wrong, wrong, wrong." Yes, we are all together. Look, I am with you all. Our fingers, we are there, all of us. We are good, and suddenly we say, "Didi, Didi... where is that? Did you see that?" Oh, my God, how quickly did it? No, no, my fingers are there. What is inside is different, my dear. Which finger? One finger is a very good finger, and mostly in Europe and America, they never saw your middle finger. Yes, I don’t know if this finger is told like this, it will hit your shoe. Yes, this is the thing, but that or that finger they told and said, "Look, my brother, look, that they can do so." Even the fingers, they are nowhere to do, therefore each and every... Nerve systems and every joint of the bones, everything in our body, what it is, and it’s very beautiful. God gave for to be nice and clear and nice. But not sometimes, you know, someone can kill brothers. One can kill the father. One can kill the husband. I don’t want to say who somebody is, but he killed his mother. Because a person does not learn what is my mother and what is my father and what is my friends and my neighbors. That’s why first we have to practice what is yoga. What is that yoga? And yoga first is the whole body, the language of the bodies. And you learn many things. Our brains and everything are learning, learning. It’s good to learn. We have to learn very well. Now, many scientists, people, they’re all great scientists, and others, and our farmers, all are very good. They have very good knowledge. That’s, you know, one day the American president came to India, and he liked India very much, something, because when the car was gone, there were some Americans, and they wanted to go somewhere, but there was something wrong with the car, and they could not move. Four Americans were inside, in Punjab it was evening, where to go? There was no light. So they were standing, and one person was going with the bike, and he said, "Do you know that there is an engineer?" He said, "There is no engineer, but what do you know?" He said, "Because this is this and that." He said, "Well, can I do something?" He said, "You cannot do this. Car can I too?" And what happened? He just opened something, and there was only one point. Something he put it like this, close. And what is it? He said, "Start?" My friend, he cannot start. He said, "I did it." He goes, "What?" What have you done? I need a technique. Now, what kind of technique? This technique I cannot tell you. And what kind of technique is that? Jugard. Jugard. The president came after that. He said, "This happens so and so, but what kind of techniques?" He said he didn’t know anything. He said only Jugard. That was the instrument, and he went. So, an American went there, and an Indian was there, the coming president, and that’s it, the President of India. Thank you, you gave me so many things, and I gave you so many things, but my friend, one technique I don’t know, can you tell me this? He said, "That technique I cannot give you." And after he said something, why not? He said, because it is only Indian techniques. That’s it. So in our body, in our hand, in our heart, in our skin, everything, we have something, and we have to always, and many things God has given more, but two at least. And if one is gone, one eye is gone, the second eye at least God has given. The same so techniques of yoga—yoga means not only... Āsanas, prāṇayāms, but furthermore also, and that’s, they said, they said, "Yes, they are yogīs, and what they are doing, brahmalokas." And he said, "Yes, can you give the techniques for the brahmalokas?" He said that professor of president say to other president, this. Is it that one? Is it something different? What is that? Brahma lokas? Guru kripāhi kevalam. Yes, yes. But you don’t know. So Brahma, Śiva, Brahma, Viṣṇu, all, but even they don’t know. They tell always, "What is that? Techniques? Brahma lokas? Brahma lokas?" And this is in your body. God doesn’t go behind us and say, "Hey, I give you." No, you have it. You have it. Brahmalokas, you have inside. Yes, that... that techniques of the Brahmalokas: lose it or, yes, either do it or lose it. Why? Because the living beings are killed by the living beings. Humans should never kill animals. Can animals eat meat? The eyes of the two are saying, "I am giving it to God, and he is eating meat." And then what does he say? That he drinks alcohol. He says, "I don’t have a shop. I want to have tea." The other one says, "I don’t have a shop, I want to have tea." He goes with that thread, so the holes in the bottle, he goes crazy. There is no cut in the bottle. And God said, "Why are you going to hell again and again?" O man! God has given two things: pure water and cow’s milk. Milk of cow, milk of cow, milk of cow. How many times he would have tasted the milk, how many times he would have drunk the milk. Cow’s milk, cow’s milk, and the third one is the milk of the forest. The forest means the vegetables. There is no milk of the trees; that is the vegetable. Cow’s milk, cow’s milk, and the milk of the forest. So, in this plant, we have cow’s milk, maize milk, cow’s milk, and Vanrai’s milk. Vanrai means any plant of Ayurveda in the forest. Look at this. This is the milk of a buffalo, and this is the milk of a cow, and this is the milk of a cow, and this is the milk of a cow, and this is the milk of a cow, and this is the milk of a cow. In front of this, the blood of Jīva, which means, what comes out of his red body? Blood. Terrible is that blood, that Yajña, of his Rākṣasas. Oh, you are like this. Oh, you are caught. Who is Maṇḍ? He is running away, he will run away, he will run away. He saw that the blood is also milk, but the milk is in that. The milk of the mother, the milk of the cow, the milk of the cowherd, the milk of the demon. Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam Parashad Deo, this is all mine. Take it, Parāśād Deo. I’ll give it to you. If there is pure Buddha, then everything is possible. Pure and Buddha. Pure means clean, completely clean. Pure and pure. Good vegetables, good bread, good water, everything is clean. Yes. Pure Buddha. Pure and Buddha. That means, do you have something in your mind, son? Where is dharma? This is the matter.
