We should be worthy to be a human

Human life is a divine gift for spiritual elevation, not for harm. All beings, from unseen creatures to elephants, are God's life, sustained by water and air. The human purpose is to understand how to live, love, and merge with God, avoiding fighting and killing. External beauty is superficial and temporary, unlike the inner beauty of peace and harmony. Humans have forgotten their divine nature, engaging in vanity and cruelty instead of love and respect. The current age is marked by conflict, but through prayer and conscious living, one can realign with goodness. This requires compassion for all creatures and stewardship of the Earth.

"God has given me this human body, and this is only to merge into God."

"Thou shalt not kill. Therefore, you should not kill."

Oṃ bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Śrī Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai. Dharmasamrāṭ Paramahaṃśrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī Sattva Gurudeva Kī Jai. Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṃśrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jai. All humans possess a great capacity for knowledge, and God has endowed humanity with the ability to elevate spirituality to a very pure state. We must never engage in weeping, killing, or any such acts. It is said there are "Chaurāsī Hajār" (eighty-four lakhs) of different life forms, and they all belong to God. Even water is life. In your language, I think it is "Vodha Jīvot." Without water, no one can live. On our earth, we cannot survive without it. Some creatures are always in the sky; they are born there and die there. Yet, even they exist within the air, which contains water. Water is life. Then there is air. If there is no air, nothing can happen on this earth. Water, air, and then what we call food. There are Chaurāsī lakh karūṛ (eighty-four million) creatures. They all know. Every creature is God's; each is God's life. There are very fine creatures, something flying here that we cannot see. But they are here, and they too are the life of God. A big elephant is also like that. It has life, and so do all these creatures. Bhagavān Buddha, Bhagavān Buddha is Hindu, and his father was a great king. One could say that half the world was under that king. His son, whom we call the Buddha—his name was otherwise, Siddhārtha. It is a long story, but he said to his father, "I will not marry, I will do nothing, I will only pray to God." All his family and everyone told him, "Please don’t do it." But he said, "God has given me this human body, and this is only to merge into God." Within that, as human life, it is to understand how to live, how to eat, how to love, how to do everything. No one should fight. So he became spiritual, like a God, a Swami. His father, the king... Buddha had gone into the forest. The Samrāṭ (Emperor) ruled many, many countries. We have in India what we call the cakra (wheel). You will see in the Indian flag there is a circle; that is from that one. That king, emperor—in his last days, he thought he would die, but there was nobody for him in his kingdom. Many great people came, but he did not accept them because he wanted to give everything to spirituality. "I have the whole kingdom," he said. Many people came. He said, "Nobody can do what I want to do." Then he had one daughter who was still unmarried. She came to her father, the Samrāṭ. The daughter came and said, "Father, I will take your work. I will be." He said, "My daughter, you will marry and go with your husband. What will he do? Where will he go?" She said, "Father, I give you my word that I will not marry. Yes, I will do nothing else, but I will do your work, what you do." He said, "Maybe you will not be. You are young." She said, "Father, no. I give you my word that I will become like a sannyāsī. And I will only work for you, everywhere in the world." So then she gave her blessing, and he gave her the whole kingdom. And he died. There were different people fighting, different religions. But what is with the Buddha is also like Hindus. After they gave the name, it was different. But there was fighting, and they would not get what they wanted. And she went towards China. And she said, "I will go and make satsaṅg, bhajans. And I will talk about my father, my king." So she had many people because she was a big—at least she had about 200 people to control her and everything. And they were coming for satsaṅg. At that time, there were not so many people. She came to China, and many were coming. She was giving a lecture, a satsaṅg. Many people were looking. After some days, months, or years... "Nobody is respecting me to be, let’s say, my disciple or a spiritual guide. Many come, and after hearing her language and satsaṅgs, they all go." The secretary of his daughter said, "Why do people not come and talk about my father?" He said, "I will think about everyone." Then he said—she said—"I’m sorry. They are all coming to see you because you are so beautiful. All they want is only beauty. You are so beautiful." She said, "Okay." After some days, she brought something like acid. She went into the bathroom, took it, and put it on her face, burning it severely. They came quickly and did everything, but her face was burned. They brought the doctors, everything, but her face was different. And then she was still giving lectures. And then people said, "This is the great lady." People were stupid. People were a little bit stupid in how they were thinking. And after that, it happened quickly. People... and so we know who the Buddha is. So then they call it the Buddha, because Buddha was there. Buddha came there then to speak and everything. So it’s not so easy in the whole life. We are all good, all humans and all creatures; all are beautiful. But humans always have different thinking: "I am beautiful," and "This is beautiful," and so on. Our beauty is also not beautiful. God has given something, a skin, very nice. And when you go to the hospital, and the doctors... and they have some problems from the stomach, and they cut the skin and sew it over his stomach. We cannot. When it is like this, oh my God, we cannot see. That’s why slowly, slowly, who’s learning doctory? Yeah, first learning this, this... yes. Everything. So on the skin, but under the skin is something more. So beauty is happiness, joy, peace, harmony, and good things. We are God’s children. We are like God. We are like God. But we have lost our way, and we went to the other side. When a child is born, the child is beautiful and doing nothing. Mother’s milk... and children, they are looking. The child is opening its eyes, but they don’t know where it is, what it is. Sometimes, some say, "Better I go back into my mother’s body." We are there, then we look at the beauty differently. Our life, how we were, how we did, that we forgot. And our beauty, God has given it beautiful. But now, what we do, I don’t want to tell you. But you know, all humans are making themselves very nice. The lips are like blood. Nails are beautiful, but we put something different on them. So they said, "God, I gave you so much beauty. What are you doing?" And so many, they are making this, this, and many things. And in the evening, they come home, go into the bathroom, and wash. Then they don’t look anymore in the mirror. All animals, they don’t do that. If they are everywhere, then they are licking everywhere. So we have become like this, and all are becoming better, and this and something, okay. In this part of the countries, or what we call the Europeans, there were people under, somewhere in the rocks. You know how many people there were? What do you call that? Neanderthal. In the Tala, there was water. It was very much, very cold, and what was it? The caves and the snow, ice. You always rise. You came from the other side. There is one side coming, the Indians and like this, and others they came to this side. But okay, we are good, we do everything very well. There was no making of beards. And now some faces like this, I don’t know if it’s ladies or the men. Every morning, the men come and take everything off. Because they want to go back again as a woman. To have a beautiful face like a woman—I’m sorry, I will not go so far. Everything is okay. You are beautiful, okay? But God did not say that we do like this. We came as humans, and now we are human. We should love, respect, and not kill anybody, and see, because now you have God as a human. But now, where we have the picture of Kṛṣṇa, also there is no more, no beings. Rāma is also not. And now Śiva is also nothing. But you see many statues of Śiva; it has a part. So, many, many people are here, the very kings, they were all humans, they were like this. But it’s okay, this is alright. Because at that time, they did not know how to do it. They were not looking in the mirror. Is everything okay? But become aware of our body's side. What we eat, we drink. How we do. How we do with mother, father, husband, wife, children. How much can we eat together at home? After all this, let us say we are getting further, more and more, better and better. But humans know what life is. What kind of creature are they, also living? So, we should know, if we cut our neck, it’s not easy. And we don’t want, please, please don’t cut me. But why not the animals? You have one cat, and you have the cat in many boxes—beautiful cats—and there is a restaurant, and people are going there, and a little child says, "Now, which cat will you have today?" We have seen this, you know. Did you know that? And so the kids are like this. And what are they doing? In very hot fire, give her water. Boil water and put her inside. And there is very cold water, and then they put her in the cold. And then from, which is also because it is very hot. And then they take her like this, and her skin goes out. And then again, leave it in the cold water. And the cat is inside, and still, maybe she’s breathing. Oh human, you know what you do? Many people talk to the dogs, and they burn their mouth, burn their dicks. Also, the other animals care, the goat, and the, you know, living, they put in their body, through, and rolling in the fire. O human, O man, if someone does to us, we will also, also, also. So now it is that how the humans can be. And many, if they will know now, you will never, and never you will do, and you will not let anybody to please living. And so the cows, buffaloes, goats, they can do, animals may do, but we are humans, and at least we should not kill and fight to, what we call, kill them. It is said in the Bible, it is written, I think, and what is said in that? "Thou shalt not kill." And we said, "Okay, and killing." So how is that? It should not. Therefore, you should not kill. Many, many things, my dear, and this is the Kali Yuga coming now. From Śaṅkara Bhagavān Śiva. From Śiva, the greatest one. Satyugas, Brahma Yugas, all Satyugas, Dwāpar Yugas, Tretā Yugas, and Kali Yuga are now coming. Kali Yuga means all this fighting, killing, everything. But in this world also, there are many, many great people. They will not do anything. And sometimes we say, "Okay, in my country, okay, my people, but in other countries I will not like that, I will kill them." So we try to make the land, this land, this land, and please live there peacefully in your land. Now, in this Kali Yuga, if you know how it is, problems about this cat, and what I told you, many of you know. So it is said, circling. They will bring you. The cat will come and make humans, and you will become a cat, and this will take you again. Or the dog, or any animal. So, my dears, we don’t know what we did in our past life. When we came from our mother’s womb, we opened our eyes, then it is said, "God, now it is yours." So, how did we do what we are learning? But now we are here, and many, many people in the whole world, very good people, very, very good people. But they are getting, again, coming more and more to the other side. So, for me, the yoga exercises are okay. Everything is good, but we should know what we are doing. And not only for ourselves, but for the whole world, we should do something. But we cannot go and say, "No, nobody." But we will do it from our heart and from our brain and everything. That’s why we call it the prayer. And in prayer, we go to God. And from God to all going, we are giving that. Please, God, please. So we pray to God, "God, please help all others." So when we do good, then it will be good. If we understand the doctors, some people say, "No, yeah, doctors," and they kill the animals. Now, they are not killing animals; they have different things. But you know, the doctors, they do so good when there is very much pain. And we fight down, doctors will come, give injections, make you calm. They will take something, problems in the stomach or this, again they will do, and you go home very good. Our holy Gurujī said, "The doctor is next to God." The first is God, and next, he is also God. Yes, he can do many, many things. We have a lot of pain anywhere in the body. What can we do? But many doctors, they made such tablets or something. So everything, good and bad, is everywhere. So many things we have to pray to God for. Sometimes, people do things that others do not want, like killing many animals to make something, and then for a month, that is not good. Science is going very far, and they will do good again. Similarly, what we call yoga and all practice of that, prathana, prayers, gods, Āyurvedas, many, many things, what Āyurvedas, they were saying. It is that even they had such instruments that they could take a human hair and split it into two parts. It is their instrument there. So humans do very much, but not only for them, human to human, we are also helping animals. For the elephant, buffaloes, cows, the goat, cat, dog, all animals, and doctors, we are helping them also. So, people say, "No, doctors are not good, and they are having so... no, please, they are asking for money." Of course, yes, but money is dust. The healing in the body, that is, that is the best. So let’s learn good things. So yoga is only physical bodies, and you sit down a little bit, and that’s all? Not like this. In each and every cell in our body, in the human body, is greatness. That’s why we are practicing here all these kriyās, and about our cakras, kuṇḍalinīs, and that’s what we are beginning already with this. So, we should, if somebody is angry with us or anything, we will say, "Sorry." Always, always humble, humble, humble. And that’s why, how many people around in the whole world? And now, many yogīs in the whole world and other humans, different religions—it’s okay, it must not be one religion, everything. So, as I said, when we wake up in the morning, then say, "I am human." When we wake up, then I say, "I am a human." And when we will say, "I am the human," the whole day, it will be in your inner self, and you will always do good. Then to step from the bed, and it said, "Mother, may I take on it." So, two mothers: one is our human mother, and the second is our Earth Mother. We should not, now we, all we have destroyed our earth, Mother Earth. So chemicals, so anything. Before 80 years, we could drink the water anywhere. From rivers, there, now even in our house, water is not clear. How long will we go and do it? And that’s, you know, food is. So we are all coming back to the organic. And in some countries, they don’t want to make anywhere where they have vegetables and like this organic, because they want to have this more, and therefore they will not stop making them, because the big companies, then they said, we have to. Kill everything, otherwise there will be so many bugs on set. And you don’t want to have organic food and everything in a big shop. They go back side of the street. Really, it’s not a joke. They put all the eating on one side of the street, the other side. Because I don’t want to tell which country and what it is. Cows’ milk they cannot drink. They will not take milk from the cow. They will take it somewhere, and they will do something. So they said, "Cow milk is for all. You can wash your body." So people were taking that fresh milk from the cows for washing. But then they came to know that they were drinking milk. So, they moved this water, milk, and the bitch’s milk for washing this body. They put something inside, so if they drink this milk, it will cause diarrhea. In Europe, I have not seen anything like that. Europe is very, very much still very nice, and I pray to God. That these countries will be very good, and all the many people, how many good people they have, even the Vatika Yalda or not, what they are eating, good things, vegan. Now in America, there are also very, very many vegans. Tomorrow, we will say something, okay? All the best. And if I told something to everybody who sees the whole world, please, please, I say to you, sorry. But we should, our whole world, good. Not only this, but also the grass and fruits. Where are the good fruits? Where is the apple good? We have had the apples from a few years before that were good apples here. Others, they made it only a little, and it has no power inside. And all of ours here also, what you call them, gurukas, the big, and this very big, no, no, vegetables and everything, guguruts, corn and everything. It was so big, and now you have so much on it, yeah? This is for the cows, and all we have, what, many, many, this is very little now. And what they do before that is they put some of those chemicals in, so they burn everything. Amitābha Amitābha... I did not see it, but there it was in some part of America, and they made people become also, yeah, so then again they changed it. And you know already that children cannot be more. First, they can’t get it, and if they get it, it may be one or two. Many things. So, my dear, be prayer, only be prayer, only. And keep your children very nice. Give good fruits, good vegetables, everything. Wish you all the best. We should have good food and good life. We ask our governments, please, okay? That’s it. Tomorrow will be different, but you should sleep, okay? Now, some of you will say, "I cannot sleep anymore." No, no, no. You are good, and we will do it for all. Only be in our prayer. Only prayers. In this prayer, we will do.
