Part 1: The Law of Karma and the Path to Liberation Life is beautiful. You understand the soul. The soul, the victim soul, is not our real self, but the soul is the bundle of our... Some people do not understand what karma is, or they do not accept it. I can understand. If you don’t understand, you will not accept. Nothing is easier to understand than karma. Nothing is easier. Whatever we do, that is called inhale, exhale. It means anything which happens through being, or we do consciously or unconsciously, is called every action, which is done according to the cause, will have its fruits: reaction, cause, action, and result. When the result comes, either we are happy or we are not happy. A small child would like to touch the fire flame in the kitchen. Mother is cooking. What will mother tell the child? Don’t touch because you will burn your finger. Now, Mother is already teaching karma yoga. She is explaining the karma. Don’t touch the fire, otherwise you will burn your hands. That’s it. You understand? Who didn’t understand? Of course, we are no child, perhaps. In the Bhagavad Gītā, 3rd chapter, about Karma Yoga, God Kṛṣṇa is telling his disciple Arjuna, "Anything you do, first try to understand or see the form of your deeds." It means, what am I doing? Am I eating this apple or eating poison? Driving a car, right? I stop my car at the crossing. You stop your car at the red light. Now, this is the traffic law: if you pass the red light, you may lose your driving license. When you see the red light, the result of the fruits becomes clear. Red light, you have to pay the fine. So you have to pay the fine; this is the result of your deeds, or ignoring the red light. If you stop, it means you understood what kind of fruits you will have if you cross the red light. And that’s why you stop. You haven’t done this karma, or the action of passing through a red light. So, inwardly, you awoke to the realization that you shouldn’t do this. You think, "Oh, I have a new car, and it’s a very quick car and very nice, and I can, ah, there is no camera." There is a hidden power, you know. A few hundred meters, blue light will come. The big brother is watching. So sometimes, out of our weakness, human weakness, ignorance, or from carelessness, we think it is beautiful, we can do it, and so on. But the fruits will come out. So Kṛṣṇa said, "Arjuna, whatever you are doing, know the form of your deeds." When you know the form, then you will know what result will come. And at that time, you will decide with your viveka. So, if you drink poison consciously or unconsciously, the poison will affect your body. You can say, "No, no, it should not affect me because I did not know it is a poison." Please, forgive me. The law of the principle of the poison, the quality of the poison, the duty of the poison, is to act as it should be. So if we did something, consciously or unconsciously, purposely or without knowing anything, it will happen. This is the karma. It has a cause. Sometimes you know that the traffic light is red, but you are in a hurry. Hurry, and you say, "No, I will act." The cause, action, and the action. This soul, the creator, has created 8.4 million different creatures, divided into three categories. In the water, called Jalchar; on the ground, Jalchar; in space, Nabha. 8.4 million different creatures, one is the human. These creatures are just victims of some karma. They have no choice out of it. They have to witness; they have to go through. Because they do not have the intellect, which can inform them about good and bad. To take human, we have got this powerful tool, and that is intellect. Through our intellect, we can say, "Yes, I will do." As soon as the soul incarnates in the human body, the real collection of karma begins. As soon as you are born as a human, you become a snowball. And you know what a snowball is? Who does not know? Hand up the expression of the snowball. I’m surprised that everybody knows the snowball. I think you don’t know, but I want to tell you. You know the snowball is growing, becoming fatter and fatter. Now, you know this, how a snowball is growing. You know how the snowball is growing? Then, you should raise your hand up. You don’t know because you don’t have snow here. Does the snow involve anything? So, this is an expression from Europe, or the high Himalayas, or America, where there’s snow, where it’s snowing. Children play with the snowball, you know. And when you walk through the street, they throw a snowball at you, and it disappears. It’s a joke for the children. But snowball means you make a small snowball and let it roll on the snow. It’s catching more and more and more. It becomes bigger and bigger and bigger. Why are you making so many photos? That’s like a snowball, so it becomes fatter and fatter. That expression means gaining. Purījī, Purījī... Śrī Śrī... If we follow their instructions, then yes, we can solve or become free from many, many karmas, the destiny. If you would like to touch the fire and mother says no, if the child listens to the mother, then he or she is protected from burning. If the child will not follow and says, "No, I want to touch," then, of course, your hand is... So, friends, it is good for the child. Always, parents say, "Don’t go there, don’t do this, stand," and we think, "They don’t go now to the..." They don’t let me go with friends to stay with them at night. They forbid me not to eat this much ice cream. I was small, I was sick. Let me grow up quickly, so I will be free and I can decide whether I can eat ice cream or not. This is how the young kids are thinking. When they are teenagers, they say, "Oh my God, I would like to be like that." So, safety is for those children who can follow the instructions. Of course, not every parent is wise or holy. So, sometimes they turn to narrow things, subject to spirituality, philosophy, culture, language, and nationality. There, we need that our parents have a wide thing. It begins when we are attached and have ego, our language, culture, religion, nationality, and so on. And that also creates negativity. So whatever we did in the past will come back to us. Something comes immediately, and something comes late. This is karma. Now, it’s a big snowball. How to make this soil nice, thick soil with a lot of karma. Problems, problems, this illness, that illness, problem with the parents, problem with the husband, problem with the wife, problem with the neighbors, problem with the work, problem with the money, and so on and so on... and so on. Many, many, and more than this. Very nice warm sun should rise. As soon as the warm sun is rising, the snowball is getting smaller and smaller and melting, and I am searching, "Where is my snowball?" There is no snowball. Similarly, when the sun of wisdom, the knowledge, awakes in us, all these karmas get solved, and we awake in divine consciousness. Then we come to know one thing, and that is the Self. The Self as ātmā, we are one. The Self is universal, and so is the soul, but without this soul, we cannot develop either. The soul is from that time, from billions of years ago, when the first resonance awoke in the endless universe. Śrī Śrī... Swayam Bhūr means one who has manifested himself, no parents, no father, no mother, no sisters, nothing, no seeds, no soil, nothing, out of nothing that jyoti came, that’s called Swayam Bhūr, Śiva Jyoti, Śiva Jyoti is the fire. And then all different elements were created, and with this sound, vibration of the resonance, Śrī Śrī... We are victims of destiny. We are tired. We have had many mothers and many fathers, many partners and many friends, but all the time there has been disappointment and separation. Maybe not in this way, disappointment that someone left you, but by the cosmic law, the law of death. We love our grandmother very much. We like our grandmother and grandfather very, very much. And children like, mostly grandparents, because their heart is so full of love for grandchildren, to give everything, more ice cream and more chocolates and more. The grandchildren, for the parents and grandparents, are like the interest from your capital. So there is no interest in the capital, because the capital money you have in the bank, but we would like to know how much interest we get out of it. That is what we love. And so, the parents love their grandchildren. Unfortunately, either we or our grandparents have to die. That’s again another big pain, disappointment. It causes a lot of pain, crying, sadness, and loneliness. You see, this is also disappointment. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a human or an animal. Every mother loves her children. No mother can be a bad mother, except maybe if she is psychic. So, it doesn’t matter if she is a human mother or an animal mother. And their love means their attachment. That love means they do care. That love means they do feel pain. That love means they would like to leave, but the human becomes distracted. How many creatures disappear from this planet? Many birds which we know from our childhood, or some flowers, are not there anymore. And this is, we are on the point where humans have to decide what to do. Global warming, climate changes, it’s horrible. From the high Himalaya, 8,000, more than 8,000 meters high up, the glaciers are so rapidly melting. Under the glaciers, a river is flowing. Very soon, there will be no water. Very soon, there will be no life for us anymore. You see, the bees are disappearing, honeybees. Yesterday, someone told me in New Zealand and Australia that now this best honey, Madhuka, is disappearing because you don’t have enough bees here. They are importing some good bees again from Australia, and in Florida at that time, the area of America, they have no fruits because there are no bees. So they are bringing now from Australia good bees that will fly on the blood gems and collect this. Pollen, flower pollen, that they can get a fruit. Why does this creature not exist? Because we spray, we spray, we would like to have an apple which is very shining and nice, with no spots. But ask this poor apple how much poison she has to swallow. Any creature who comes to sit on it is poisoned. So, this is an action and reaction. This is karma, so the karma comes back to us. There is an international conference in Europe in The Hague. The question is, if we would like to rescue ourselves and save the planet, give our grandchildren at least a world as we got it, become vegetarians. And good is that many, many, many people and young generations begin to think, and they’re becoming vegetarians. And I’ve been saying this for the last 40 years: to do what no one is doing. And now they’re awake. Very soon, hunger will come. There will not be enough food. Don’t think that you will have everything in New Zealand. Oh, forget it. You can have a seed, but nothing will grow. Fish will die. So now this new consciousness is awakening, that if you have a house and a little garden, don’t grow only grass and flowers. But try to grow as much as you can of your own vegetables, herbs, and spices. And that will be organic, that you eat something really natural. Action, reaction, that is karma. So now this soul is tired. This soul has so many wounds. So many wounds, completely, how do you call it, wounded, bloody. How to find, to get to the origin where there is no more birth and death, no more suffering. That’s why, for thousands of years, from yuga to yuga, they have been speaking for millions of years. To get self-reliance, to know thyself, means now you will correct your actions, and that inner sun will rise. The world will melt away. All the curtains will open. This is a chance for you to get liberation or self-reliance. Otherwise, suffer. It’s your choice. We have it or lose it. Lose means again going through this all around. Again, the rebirth day. If you believe in rebirth or not, that’s your thing. Belief cannot change reality. Sunset is there. I don’t believe the sun is already set and now the sun will not rise. It’s gone. Swollen by darkness, I believe that the sun will not rise. Morning dawn came, and came out again. There is a small story about twin souls in the astral world. In the astral world, as astral beings, twin souls. One soul tells his son, and you know how beautiful it is, we are free, empty space. But you know, very soon, mothers boom, mothers boom, mothers. We are in empty space. This is already our world, our everything, mother, woman. Yes, but we will come. There are some creatures, and that’s called female. How big is that? He said, "It depends which creature." He said, "If you believe it or not, we are very comfortable here." He said, "Yes, but you will." And surprisingly, after some months, they found themselves twin brothers, no? How do you feel? Ah, it’s so pleasant and safe. I think nothing will change now. We have to do nothing, and we feel the touch. You know, my brother, very soon we will be born. What will be born? We will come out of the mother’s body. Always, you are talking nonsense. I don’t believe that we come out of the mother’s body. How will we come out of our mother’s body? We are closed. Then, yes, we will come, and you know, we will eat and drink milk. I believe everything. No, we are eating through our navel, that’s all. We are comfortable automatically going in. Part 2: The Path of Truth and the Law of Karma We need not do anything like an infusion. You go into the hospital, the portal is connected to your veins, and it’s going everywhere. From where do you create these stories? And you know, we will walk. Where will we walk, and how? He said we will have two legs. Brother, I believe everything, but not like this. Then they will walk. No, Bruce, God. I know my brother. People are walking, and there are so many plants and trees and things. So, what I want to tell you, whether you believe it or not, is that you believe you will not die. And I also bless and wish for you that you will not die. But this wish will not come true, unfortunately. Sooner or later, we have to go again to the lap of Mother Earth. And don’t think that now it’s finished. Again, you will travel through the astral world and come again to the mother’s womb. And you will be born there, in that place and country which you do not like. And then you will love that, oh, it’s my motherland, my country. Karma comes back. Therefore, it is a glove, all, that you will be free. You hate someone, you neglect someone, you don’t like someone, then you will be there. You don’t like the little mouse, okay, because he always comes into your house and eats everything. Okay, you don’t like, you don’t like, you hate the mouse, and you may poison him; some people do. But then, in the next life, you will be that mouse. The other one will be like you. You see the ants in your kitchen. My God! Again! What are you doing here in my kitchen? Entry is listening and making wisdom. What are you doing here? Ent says, "You, it’s my portrait." I’ve worn this under the window frame. It’s my house. So whose home is that? We think it’s my house. The ant thinks it’s their house. The spider thinks it’s their house. So that’s the world. That’s creation. That’s how we have to live. But we can come to that. We need such discussions, courses. We call it satsaṅg. Sat means the truth, and saṅg means to be with. So be there where it is spoken about the reality of being. Not that it is the truth that she was not good to me. You go to the lawyer and tell your lawyer, "Please, sir, can you help me get divorced? She was not good to me." That is a little thing. But the truth is something different, beyond that, and we are searching for that truth. So when we come to that master called Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya, Brahmaniṣṭha means one who is established in Brahman, the supreme, the reality, and Śrotriya who can help us and inspire us, who can motivate, inspire, and lead us. That’s Sattvaguna. Sattva means the truth or a leader. We have to be with the leader like a small child and mother. Don’t touch fire. Don’t eat too much ice cream now. Because the mother knows it’s not good for the child. Similarly, the master knows when the master says, "Finished." Now you go in this direction. I want to go to Nepal. No, don’t go there, it’s malaria now. I took a vaccination. It doesn’t matter. Don’t go, and you come there, and big mosquitoes love you so much. Big mosquitoes love you and try to find a way through anything. They come and bite, and the next day the fever and malaria are there, and you are all lying in the hospital, and the doctor says, "Now there is no chance." It’s better that I should have heard from my mother. I should have listened to my mother or my master. That’s it. So there are two kinds of people: one is selfish, who needs something from you or would like to avoid you. Then we’ll tell you, "Go there, I’ll do this and that," and finish. Second is the one who loves you. Who loves you will tell you the bitter words, the hard words. And who doesn’t love you will tell, yeah, darling, beautiful, yes, very nice, okay, you can do it. I love you, and I will tell you, "Don’t do it." Because this is not good for your soul and not good for your ātmā. That will become only obstacles. But we don’t follow, we don’t understand, and we change again. For a while, we are following, but then we say, "Ah, just saying," you know. And someone tells, "I’m surprised you were vegetarian for ten years, and now you are eating fish again." I was following my master, now I don’t follow him, and I can eat meat. Mm, you know this, mm, means your ego. There are thorns inside, making, mm, that’s it. So, look what you are doing. So, the Tao, in this international conference about environment, the very first thing to promote is karma. There is individual karma, and there is collective karma. And collective karma, when it comes, then there can be someone who has good karma, but that one also becomes the victim. When the wheat is ground for bread flour, and in the wheat there are some motes inside, they are also ground wheat. So sometimes we are good people, or they are good people who have good karma, but they are victims of hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, and things like that. So, individual karma and collective karma, and sometimes even this collective karma—the individual one has very good karma, so God protects that one. So believe that God is carrying you on the hollow of His palm. Like when you have a big plaster on your palm, and you say you carry it like this, no? So God is carrying us like this on His palm. He loves you. He never forgets you. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are. What we did, we have to get back. Never, never blame God. Oh God, why did this happen? There is no God, and so on. Sometimes we have such experiences, we can’t accept God. Long years ago, about 25 years ago, in Vienna, Austria, I was standing near our āśram, and one elderly man, I greeted him. We, from Austria and some parts of Germany, greet Gurujī, which means I greet God in you. And the others say, "Good day." Then I think, good and dark. Even that they don’t say now, good and dark. So I said to him, "Gurujī, God?" And he stood and looked. Yes, young man, what should I do with your God? You know, I was walking on the snow, hungry, tired, with a big gun, heavy, shoes with sweat, water was going in, my socks were cold. On Christmas evening, I was dreaming I could be at home, but as a soldier, alone I was. And I said, "God, please help me." And he didn’t come. What should I do with that God? It was not a mistake of God. But unfortunately, many have such experiences, and then they get disappointed when there is no God. But never, never think there is no God. So the last two world wars disappointed the humans very, very much. During these two world wars and after, many people lost faith in God and trust. And since that time, people began to consume more and more meat. Because at that time, only rich people could eat meat. Alcohol, chocolate, or white sugar. Other children, they didn’t have it occasionally, so everyone would like it. How is all meat production of meat industries made cheaper? And everyone would like to be what we call high society. But now, in this high flight, things go by. So finally, belief doesn’t matter; wherever you would like to believe, there is only one God. That God has no name, no form; He is omniscient and omnipresent. But from time to time, the divine energy incarnates in someone, in some part of the world, on this planet. It is okay you believe that. There is only one feminine principle, but you have your own mother. All mothers cannot be your mother, or there are many, only one masculine, but there are many, many men, so it can be only one, your father. So you can believe there where you think, "I believe this," but ultimately all is one, and therefore, what Gurujī used to say, One in all and all in one, so no discrimination towards any God incarnation, any religion, any culture. You are a temporary guest here; you are not forever in this world. This world, against this one, creates the divine love, understanding. It has to come again. It has to come back again in this human consciousness, this brotherhood. How far will we fight against it? Will we create the war? And that’s what yoga was designed for. Millions of years from Satyayuga onwards. Do you know what yoga is? Who doesn’t know? Does everybody know? Yoga. I’ve heard of it. You heard of it. Who didn’t hear about Yugas? At least one person is very honest, because he is coming from Germany, you know, early kind. No, yeah, they are very correct. Tomorrow we will print out for you the calculation of the Yugas. Yugas are a calculation of the period of time according to the universe, of Brahmā, the time of the creator, and how long, and the year of the earth. It’s very interesting. That is a real millennium. Mukti, can you print tomorrow out? You send it to Radha, and she will, or I have it with me, so you can make it up, yes? So, that’s what I want to say, that today is the most beautiful constellation. We can hear something about that reality, which is reality. And so, when the disciple got this wisdom, the sun begins to shine in his consciousness, and the frozen snow, the water in the form of snow, clarity came. You drive through the fog, and suddenly the fog is gone, and you see the clear view, the clearness. Then, the disciple said to the master, "Mahāprabhujī said to his master," Great thing, glory, I surrender to thee, I sacrifice, I follow thee. The source of my ānand, the foundation of my Lord, you are the source, you are the saviour. Siddha Naikho, Siddha Jau, Siddha Jau,... Supreme One, this ātmā, this Self, is uniting to the Supreme Self, Paramārtha. So, it’s also a karma, an action. He comes here to do good things. When you give, let’s say, one dollar to some needy person in the street, you did paramārtha, you did good things. Don’t think, oh, this person will go and buy beer and drink the beer. And? Don’t you drink the beer? Or don’t say, "Oh, he will go to the cinema." You don’t go to the cinema? So, when you give something, dedicate it, or donate it, what you gave, you no longer have any rights to it. I must do it. Because when you gave it a hundred million times, you have no right anymore. And you should not make bad karma by saying, "Oh, they are only beggars, but they get so much money, and then they will do this and that at night." If you say this, it means you spit it and then lick it again. So it is not only the beggar, but even to any person, to your wife, to this Christmas you give her a diamond ring. Don’t tell her after six months, "Why are you so cruel to me? I was so nice to you on Christmas and gave you a diamond ring." It means you leaked it again, and she will say, "Yes, here is your ring." And you, you want to buy me with this ring? So, ladies are not so stupid. It’s the main thing, or it can be the other side. Yes. So we have to be together. Both hands help each other to clean. So, what you gave, you have no right to count on. Or you are borrowing. If you give as a help, as love, then there is no condition. So God comes here to help us. I will say, "I help you, my child." What do you think? Paramarata means that you help someone. It doesn’t matter: animal, fish, bird, plant, tree, grass, or human. Doesn’t matter. A flower pot, the root is dry and dying, and you come and give a little water. Half up, you don’t hear from them, but this plant is so thankful to you. And you say, the next day, "Why don’t you still blossom? I gave you water yesterday." Don’t say this. But the expression of happiness of the plant is undescribed. Almost love is coming, a positive vibration. As soon as you give the water, the plant is saying thank you to you a thousand times. You should have the senses; you can feel. I am positive, divine. So, the Lord has incarnated to do good things. He freed me from bad things, from doing bad things. He liberated me. He helped me to be liberated. He saw me suffering in this ocean of the world. He saw me suffering in the ocean of this world. He saw that I am troubled, I am suffering, full of pain, full of disappointment, confused. What did he do? Prakāra bhujāmoye kiyābhāva pā... Prakāra bhujāmoye kiyābhāva pā... Prakāra bhujāmoye kiyābhāva. I surrender to Thee, O my Lord. Asaṅg jīva kā kast anādi. From many, many yugas, I was suffering. I’m suffering for so many millions of years, asaṅg jīva. Kasta. Kasta means suffering. And in the suffering world, where asaṅg jīva kā kast anādi, from the very beginning, ādi, from beginning till. But when I saw him, my master, with the first look, as soon as I saw him, all this dirt, all this karma melted. And therefore, Dhin Dhin Ho Sai Bhajan. Mahādhana Dīna Svāmī Caraṇom Medina. He blessed me with a great wealth, richness, the greatest wealth. He blessed me with the greatest, O Swāmī, caraṇom medina, O my lord, my master, you accepted me, the center. What can be more wealth? Nothing can be more happiness, money, or anything than Mahādhan Dīnā Svāmī Caraṇom Medina. Medina, Arasa Parasaham Payadhidhara, I saw him, I have dhidhar. Dhidhar, dhidhar means the signing. When I saw his face, I saw his dhidhar. Can we know any material thing can compare with that richness of that happiness? Dedicating this song, and he is singing this for him, what he means for Mahāprabhujī, the Devpurījī. Disciple, singing this glory, fullness to his body, Śrī Satguru, the true master, I am Devakurī, so side me with the Lord, Śrī Svāmī Dīpakīr Sarjan Hara, Mahāprabhujī said, "You are my creator, you are my liberator, you have manifested within me that divine that I can." So, I wish you all the best, and that you one day be free.
