Jai Śrī Maheśvarānanda Mahārāj. Thank you. Śuddha ācāra vichāra bhakti seṁchaya Viśvaka guruvaraṭa deśe Taḍīyapratakṣa pramāḥ Viśvaka guruvaraṭa deśe Taḍīyapratakṣa pramāḥ Sannyāsikisiddhāpi. Viśvadīpuruṣvadīpurudambake Pavanaparvapar Haridvārlegayajamah. How are you? Eating was good. Carrot. Mrkev. Yes. And rice. A ríže. It’s very nice. Well, today is already Tuesday, it’s gone, no? It came too quickly. So, today, this evening is a very special evening and a very special day. We had today, just a few hours before, one new disciple was born. We congratulate. Gratulujeme. Tiāgpuri’s sister from Debrecen. Tiagpurī’s sister is from Debrecen. She’s living in Norway. So we welcome the little one, and we pray for her to be healthy and to have a good life. I would like to say something on this subject. This is a subject which you should know. Sometimes it is good that you forget, and sometimes it’s not good. We have two kinds of lives. It means when we come from the astral world to the material world, as soon as we enter this world, we come in touch with the four elements. Our body is created from five elements, but from the fine energy, the astral energy, we are liberated. That you can say is like a death you like very much. And you are afraid to die, which means afraid to go again somewhere—nice life or not so nice life—depends on prārabdha. Prārabdha, pūrva, rājā, piśāca, śarīra. First was created, prārabdha means destiny. Piśāca śarīra. Then, after creating the body, according to our destiny or our pralabda, such a place is destined for us. Lidské tělo. Zvířecí tělo. To that direction. It’s not that the human soul is very big. An elephant’s soul is even bigger. And a small insect soul is very small. No. Quality. Not quantity. So the soul is that quality which is known as life. And that light of that soul, we call jīvātmā; jīva is the soul. It is individual, because if the soul is universal, then there is no individual destiny. Can you imagine? All are born on this earth as a mouse. Or on this planet, all is born as a mouse. And the females, how nice, or the men, because it’s universal, no. Therefore, the soul is individual; ātmā is the universal. Soul and ātmā are different. Soul is not the self; ātmā is the self. Soul is also a self, but an individual self, and ātmā is the self that is the universal self. But also the soul has the essence of the universal one. So it is said, God Kṛṣṇa says in the 15th chapter, "Mame vāso jīva loke jīva bhūta sanātana." I live in every creature. Insects, cobra, elephant, dog, buffalo, cows, humans, anyone which is living. It’s my sanātana, my relation, my relative, part of mine. And on the day when they get realization, then the jīva will change into Śiva. For that, the human body is given, but the difference is this: other creatures, other life, have to go through the karmic punishment or happiness. Humans have got a freedom. They have a decision to make about how they would like to live, and they can make themselves happy if they want. But again, humans are also victims of destiny. Further, the road is being repaired, or there is some accident, or something is not good. Or due to the flood, there is a big hole in the road. Now, this arrow which is directing you, diverting your direction, may take some kilometers more, then we’ll direct you again to the right road. If there is no indication of the road diversion, then you will fall into an accident. So destiny will lead you there, but if you meet on the way a human life, Satguru Deva, he will divorce you, or a wise person. Or a parent who is wise. So, David Deavers, you will find a little bit of discomfort. You will be surprised. You will be angry. You don’t want. But if you follow, you are on the safe side, and you will come again to your path. And if you don’t follow that arrow, then you will suffer more. That’s why there is always concentration on one thing. Guru Vākya. Obey, obey, obey your Gurudeva. That means that your Satguru Dev will free you from that destiny. Otherwise, you are the victim of destiny, like other creatures. And people who didn’t follow the Guruvāgya, then all spiritual energy is filtered through. Then mentally, emotionally, and many, many other problems are there. So, the soul, which comes from, again, from the astral world to the physical world, according to destiny. And destiny is a production of your karma. Results of your action. Now, the result of your action is that it will lead you to reaction. So, according to the karma, destiny will prepare your next life. So we are born as human. Now you know, it was not that you were just born. You still have no knowledge. Someone told a story. Who is someone? Our dear Radha from Vienna, someone told her also a dialogue between twins in mother’s body. I think I told some time, you remember? So, in mother’s body, they were twins, so one of them said to the other one, "You know, we will be born." And the other said, "Stupid, from where do you have such stupid ideas?" and said, "You know, not only that we will be born, but then we will eat something through the mouth." "What? We will eat through the mouth? No, I don’t want to be born. I’m so comfortable. Nice and warm, and I have nothing to work. Automatically, food is going to the navel from the mother’s water." "And you know, not only will we eat and drink, but we will walk." "Are you crazy? Walk? Where? On the earth? What a crazy imagination. Is there earth? I don’t believe you. Better you sleep. Don’t bring me such a crazy idea every day." And then he was born, and he said, "You know, I told you." And the water, milk, the milk came. And he said, "Do you want to drink with your mouth or through your navel now?" "I want to drink with your mouth." So, exactly from the astral world, you died. And you entered into the mother’s world, my dear. Not a joke. Let’s say, for a human, nine months—nine months—this soul is like in the floods of the blood, bloods, and hormones, and what not, and closed in a limited space. And we can only thank God that God did not forget us. If he would have forgotten one eye, he would be born as a one-eyed one. Or he would have given both eyes behind. Now, which side do you want to go? So, who are you that you can give a healthy birth to your child? Who are you that you will be born healthy? There was someone who took care of you and gave you everything. Very rich. God sent you very rich on this planet. Two legs, two hands, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, whole body, brain. And you say, "I don’t believe in God?" And you know what God says when you say, "I don’t believe in you, God"? God smiles, "Innocent child, innocent child. When he will need me, he will believe. When he needs ice cream, then he will come to you." So, the first birth is from the astral world into the mother’s world, in the womb of the mother. And that was also destiny. It is a great luck, a fortune, that we were born completely healthy, physically and mentally. Every limb was balanced and healthy. If a child is born, one hand is long, and the other hand is small, still, doctors cannot make long hand for you like this. Plastic, yes, but not as God will do, Mother God, nature. So that was our destiny. So it is said, father and mother, they can give you the birth, but not the destiny. Your way is different. If you believe, it’s good. If you don’t believe, it’s good, but if you believe, it’s much better. Destiny. Osud. It’s written in our kismat, the book of destiny, as we call it. You know, there’s one story, Oedipus, from Greece. Oedipus? Yeah, when he was born. Yeah, Oedipus. No, no, not octopus. Oedipus. When he was born, the prophet said to the king, "Sophie or somebody else." I think it was the king, his father. A very good child. You got a son. But his destiny is that he will marry his mother. Neither mother was happy, now father was happy. So father told the shepherds, "Throw it in the forest. Animal will eat him, kill him, kill it and feed the fish." Shepherds fed the pity, and they went to the forest. And they put this small, born child under the tree and went away. a odešli. Even the whole world cannot harm one hair of that person if God wants to protect. Jisko guru rākhe, uska kaun chāhe? To whom Gurudev wants to protect, no one can kill him or damage him. So some shepherd found him and took him home. You know this story. Then he was bigger, growing. He was growing, became a 20-year-old young man. 20, 30 years. 20, 30, 25 years. And once he went again to that prophet accidentally, Prophet Sophie, and she said, "Go away, don’t come here to me. You are a sinner." "Say why?" "Because in your destiny, you will marry your mother." Oh, God. Now I know why. So he prays to God, "Please don’t lead me in the direction where my mother is living." He ran away, but he said, "God, how should I know if I’m running towards where my mother is?" So he closed his eyes, and he was turning and turning, and then he stopped. He opened his eyes and ran to that side, but destiny led him. And the end was like this, that really it happened. He did not know it was his mother, and the mother did not know it was her child. And married, then again found it, and it made a suicide or something. Father, I don’t know this story. It’s an old Greek story. So this means mother and father can give you birth, but not the destiny. Therefore, be careful of destiny. One mother gave birth to three sons: one became a saint, one became a king, and one became a beggar. Different destiny. So, these nine months in the body of the mother, again the soul is going through many experiences, good and bad. Pain and pleasure, but still don’t want to come out, but is born, so it means released from that world of the mother’s body. That was the second date. You’ve forgotten everything: what was there and who was with you there, and now you are here. Now, you identify yourself here. And when we speak of the astral world, spirituality, the soul of the spiritual one will go to the light and become one with Brahman, or it will go to hell, or it will go to swarga. Or heaven? Nowadays, people say, "This is Co to je?" This word speaks of a person who has no idea about the next world. Therefore, it is said, tattva darśī guru devkā anubhava paramparā. Tattva Darśī Guru Deī, we have many gurus, but that Satguru, Tattva Darśī, means knower of all elements, Anubhava Paramparā, his experiences are endless. Blessed are they who can have such a Gurū Deva, who can meet such a master. Then this life is successful, and then, you know, we don’t want to die. It doesn’t matter if we talk about Brahmaloka or Svargaloka or Gandharvaloka, and, but not beauty. There will be never old age, and there will be no problem. Yes, very nice, but still we don’t want to go. A little pain. Dear doctor, dear doctor, please, I have a pain. And the doctor said, "Well, unfortunately," It’s like that, and it can happen that you have to die. "Please, doctor, please, make something, save my life. I don’t want to die. Doesn’t matter, heaven is very good. But I haven’t necessity to be in heaven. I want to be here." Attachment. Připoutanost. Ignorance. Nevědomost. So, ignorance is a form of attachment. The attachment is another form of ignorance. And where there is ignorance, there is suffering. Therefore, there are different births. And so, like Holī Gurujī is writing in his book, when at first my eyes looked upon the physical divine form of Mahāprabhujī. And I see in him Kṛṣṇa was manifested. He placed his hand on my head and told me, "My son, remember that day what I told you in the dream, and give me divine name." And that was my new birth. I saw his holy lotus feet, my tears were falling so much that I was washing the holy feet of Mahāprabhujī with my tears. Guruji, what did Guruji say? Sorry, what Guruji? Ākhiyā Satguru Caranome Dīpadāyā Loke Caraṇa Kamala Śrī Dīpadāyā Merī Kiśamat Jagime Satguru Caranome Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, then my eyes, my look. Found shelter in the holy feet of Guru Satguru Deva. Shrī Dīp Dayālu Mahā Prabhujī in the holy lotus feet of Mahā Prabhujī. Holy seltzer at his lotus feet. Mary, kismet jagi. My dormant destiny, kismet, awoke. How? How beautiful was it, and what happens? So listen in bhajan.
