The teaching of Bhajans

The devotee's longing for the Guru is a sweet pain that is ultimately good. A feeling of absence creates an ache in the heart, yet this very pain is a sign of devotion. The love for the Guru is so sweet that one willingly accepts its inherent difficulties. A prayer describes the Guru as the source of all happiness and the remover of all sufferings. The only hope lies in complete surrender to the Guru. One must inwardly give up all obstacles to this devotion. The path requires steady practice, prayer, and unwavering confidence.

"As much as it is painful, it is that good."

"Do not hurry and do not worry. Practice, practice, practice."

Om Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Deva Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Viśva Guru Mamandaleśvara Paramaśrī Svāmī Īśvarānandjī Gurudeva Kī Jai, Namo Namo Gurudevajī Koṭi Koṭi Praṇām. Palaka, Palaka Prabhu, Vīṇāti Sukha Sāgaranī Janam Nām Niyas Baubare Ānanda Othā Aparimita Āpa Satgurume Śiṣahu Āpam Prāṇa Adha Siddhi from Lālanānjī, actually. I was writing a note here: sing this bhajan if you are not so happy. This sentiment is contrary to Vivek Purījī’s teaching. But somehow we feel the absence of Gurudev. There is a strange ache in the heart, a longing in the heart. There is. Once, Swāmījī said that because Swāmījī is painful, it is not good. And I said, "Yes, this is good. As much as it is painful, it is that good." Once, the holy Mīrā, Mīrābāī—she was also from Rajasthan, the princess from Merta, very near to Jadon Ashram—she said, "If I would know how painful the love is, I would go around with a drum and give the message, 'Nobody should fall in love.'" But even the halvā has sand inside. The halvā has sand inside, I will eat it. Because it is so good and sweet, the sand does not disturb me anymore. And so, this is the bhajan from Śrī Lāla Nanjī. He is singing a prayer to Gurudeva: "Oh my Gurudeva, you are my God. You are the garden of happiness, and you are the foundation." Of my—we say santosha, you say satisfaction. Santosha—how do you translate it? Contentment and happiness. You are everything for me. Everything. Nobody can compare to you. You even take away these three tapas, these three kinds of sufferings, from my heart. You are the real God, and you are the Lord of the whole universe. You are the one who lets me grow. You are that one who is taking care of me. And you are that one who is constantly giving me everything. I offer to you, to your holy lotus feet, everything. Because nothing can take you out from this divine Brahma consciousness. You are always there. You are my Gurudeva, you are my Mahādeva. And you are taking the whole burden from this Mother Earth. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Śrī Śrī Devīśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai. Śrī Satguru Deva Kī Jai. Oṁ Nityam Śūtam Nirākāram Nirupāsam Nirañjanam Nitya Bodhacitānandam Guru Brahma Nāmam Yam. O Guru Sukha Dāma Svāmī Sarva Jagat Ke Kāraṇa. Sarva Jagat Ke Kāraṇa. Śrī Śrī Devāśvara Mahādeva Kī, Śrī Sattā Gurū Deva Kī, Ladanāñjī Mahārāja Kī. And that is why the Holy Mīrā said, "I do not need anything. I do not need anything. My concentration is only where my Gurudeva is. I do not desire anything. It is like a dream." It is like a dream, and she is asking, "How should we come into reality? How should we cross this unreality?" But through the words of my Master, this world, this ocean became dry. There is nothing to cross anymore. She says, "The only one hope is my Gurudeva." I pray to him. I pray. And here, Swāmījī said some words to accept this way. This bhakti, this devotion—one has to give up inwardly. We have to give up these kinds of obstacles: the karma, the groda, the mada, the lobha, the moha, the ahaṅkāra. And that is why Swāmījī said, "Do not hurry and do not worry. Do not hurry and do not worry." Practice, practice, practice. And pray to Mahāprabhujī; it does not matter what happened. Do not lose your confidence. Do not lose your confidence.
