Shrimad Rajchandra Vachanamrut Patrank - 124
Even last year on the occasion of Atmarpit Diksha,
I had spoken based on this same letter.
And every time you organise a grand celebration for anyone's birth,
On those occasions, I will always speak based on this letter.
Apurvaji came and said to me,
"You will be able to speak for 45 minutes."
But I think that when you have to speak on detachment and renunciation,
It can be completed in 30 minutes.
The initiates are in the process of changing their garbs,
Until they come, I will speak.
Patrank - 124, Vavania Port, 1946.
'Janam Janam Disam Icchai Tanam Tanam Disam Appadibaddhe.'
Whichever direction he wishes to go in,
One for whom that direction is unobstructed, that is, it is open.
(Cannot stop him)
Until one does not practise for such a state,
How is it possible for genuine renunciation to arise?
It is not proper that the material world restrict the soul.
Regards from Raichand
We participate in discourses, we undertake spiritual study,
And when we are doing satsang or spiritual study,
At that time, we do so with enjoyment, we do so with interest,
We are even absorbed in it,
Then, why does delusion still hinder us?
Why do we falter when an incident occurs?
In answer to this, Enlightened Beings state,
Just like when you visit a garden,
While you are in the garden,
You are influenced by the fragrance, your consciousness is infused with the fragrance,
So for a few moments, you may even forget the material world.
Something similar happens when you come to discourses with enthusiasm and interest,
For a few moments, you feel that everything is bland, petty, transient,
You are convinced that this is the only worthwhile activity,
But this is the influence of the discourse.
Once you leave the garden,
Gradually, both, the fragrance as well as the memory of the fragrance are forgotten.
Similarly, despite having understood,
Because there is no corresponding change in belief,
The influence of your company, and delusion become more powerful.
For 3 days, there was such a grand celebration.
5 days. It became a 5-day celebration.
After the meal, you will leave,
Some will talk about the abhishek (venerating the idol with water),
Some will talk about something else.
Every 10 minutes, you will experience a change in feelings.
When the first tea stall comes, your feelings will change,
When Food Hub comes, your feelings will change,
It may happen that once you reach Mumbai,
You may feel as though you had not even attended the Grand Celebration.
Why does this happen?
Because, there is no change in your opinion. Your beliefs have not changed.
Your faith is unchanged.
Because you know the Gujarati language,
You leave the satsang and say, "I understood everything well."
The Enlightened One's advice is,
Say you have understood, only when your beliefs have changed,
When your lifestyle has changed.
'Periodical', and I am adding one more word to it, 'regular' dieting can be done by many.
After every few months, you feel that You have put on too much weight.
Then you go to Bangalore, or Lonavala, or Jindal, or some health resort,
Work very hard for 15 days,
Consume only fruits, or coconut water, and genuinely lose 10-15 kilos.
When you return to your routine,
Because you were health conscious, you went,
But because there is no change in your lifestyle,
Within 6 months, again you will go on a dieting crash course.
This is exactly what happens.
After satsang, you do not make changes to your lifestyle,
In a short while, you observe that you are feeling low,
And you want to listen to a satsang again.
But through satsang, if there is a change in beliefs,
Then it becomes your lifestyle.
It becomes your way of living.
It becomes your life's perspective.
And Atmarpit Diksha is nothing else.
The state of mind that I want to maintain,
If my external arrangements match that,
Then, even if I go outwards even if I look at the clothes,
Then I am drawn towards dispassion.
Even if I go outward, I am pulled towards meditation.
It is not any other great transformation.
But the detachment that exists within, is made so secure through renunciation,
That even if they go out, they are still drawn within.
This is it.
There are two styles.
There are two ways to live your life.
One is the way of a materialist.
One is the way of a renunciate.
As Shraddha said, "I can't leave the world."
When you say you are leaving the world, you are still on this planet earth,
In this universe.
Utmost you can do is, leave the attachment towards the world.
That is why I say two styles,
They will continue to live in the same world,
They will continue to eat with their hands,
The eyes will continue to see,
The nose will continue to smell,
The ear will continue to hear,
Then, what has changed?
Life can be lived in two ways:
One is the way of the materialist,
One is the way of the renunciate;
The way of renunciation.
The way of the materialist is,
Me, mine, doership, enjoyership, only in the non-self.
If I say it in simple words,
Happiness, peace, security, stability,
To make efforts to attain these in the external,
And despite sensory and motor organs being engaged in external activity,
For attaining happiness, peace and security, if something occurs within,
This is the way of renunciation.
I do not want to expand too much, It is clear.
What do you consider to be 'I'? Your body?
Then this is the way of the materialist.
The way of the renunciate is, identification in the Soul.
Either 'Soham' (I am That)
Or 'Dasoham' (I am Your Servant).
If you do not have this state, of soul awareness,
Then, "Servant, servant, I am the humble servant of that Lord."
I am a servant. Dasoham.
Remaining in dasoham, if 'da' vanishes, then what is left?
Soham.
This is the way of life.
What do you identify as 'I', 'mine', 'doership', 'enjoyership'?
In other words, to attain happiness, peace and security,
To be fresh, to be happy, to be joyful,
In which direction do you search?
This is the difference between the two styles.
We can do many things in a state of intoxication.
At that time, we feel it is real.
A cat was chasing a rat,
The cat's steps were quick.
The rat was running fast,
There was a glass of wine,
The rat climbed on the glass of wine and fell inside,
The cat could not see the rat anywhere.
It searched a lot, looked around,
It probably had not seen the rat fall into the glass,
It looked around but did not find anything,
So the cat was puzzled.
It was sitting nearby.
A short while later, the rat came out of the glass,
And started speaking rudely to the cat.
"I dare you to lay hands on me."
He was intoxicated, he had drunk some of the wine.
In a state of intoxication, he thought he had become strong.
Intoxicated by wealth, intoxicated by age,
Intoxicated by power, intoxicated by status.
One feels as if he has become very powerful.
When delusion makes its appearance,
You will find out how great you are.
Going to a dentist is not pleasant,
Because the noise of their machine, is worse than the machine here.
This is at least soothing, rhythmic,
But the terrible noise that their machine makes,
Just listening to the noise, one becomes irritated.
He was very frightened of sitting in the dental chair.
The doctor felt, how will I work?
Because he is so frightened, he will not even allow me to touch him.
He thought, let me give him some whisky,
So he loses his consciousness, then I can work a little.
So, he gave him a little whisky.
Within a short time, he was intoxicated.
When the dentist went near him to work on his teeth,
The intoxicated man said,
"I dare you to touch me, I will break your teeth and place them in your hand."
All I want to say is,
In a state of intoxication, you believe that everything is real.
That I am thinking correctly,
I am doing everything correctly,
I am happy, I am secure,
In an intoxicated state,
Intoxicated by 'I and mine,'
Intoxicated by wealth, power and family.
Everything feels secure, joyful, comfortable.
But the Enlightened Masters point us towards Truth,
Death is inevitable.
Whatever you own, can you take it beyond death?
Only that is yours, only that is the Truth.
If you have to leave everything behind,
Then at the time of death, you will feel sad, insecure, disturbed and fearful.
When challenged by death, are you settled or not?
Ask yourself this question and demand an immediate answer.
Renunciation is nothing else, voluntary acceptance of death.
Many people go to the cemetery, carried on a bier,
One who walks towards it with eagerness; towards his death,
He is a renunciate.
'I', 'mine', this material identity,
Dependence, seeking support from others,
To 'miss' someone, I am leaving behind all this.
This is it.
From the time you were born, an unbailable warrant was issued.
Death was trying to find you, with this warrant in hand.
You were not yet found, therefore you have not encountered death.
One day, when you meet on the road, you will be arrested immediately.
Immediately, in that same moment,
You will have to leave everything behind and depart.
Whether you are fearful or fearless, you will have to leave.
If you have to leave it behind at that time, then why not today?
Why not willingly?
If you have to leave it unwillingly,
If someone is definitely going to snatch it away,
Then why not give it up with eagerness today?
If it is not going to come with me,
If happiness is not its nature, then why this clinging?
This is renunciation.
The difference that exists, is between two styles.
They too will wear clothes,
They too will have their meals,
They will have their own entertainment too.
But their form of entertainment will be devotional songs,
If they want to be happy, joyful, be fresh or take rest,
If you feel, ladies,
There is no other programme this afternoon, so now we will rest peacefully,
Then, just this morning, Maulikji said to me,
"Saheb, from now itself, life is starting to feel hollow,"
Because he had no announcements to make today.
He requested to be given new seva by 1 p.m. this afternoon.
As soon as the satsang is over, he wanted new seva.
Do you want to rest?
Then, take up another seva.
If One who is merciful day and night, decides to rest, then what will happen to us?
Even if we were to offer seva day and night,
We have done nothing.
If all you did was to keep this infinite gratitude in mind,
You will forget your body in that same moment.
Hunger, sleep, everything will be forgotten.
Our own Audio-Video team,
On 7th October, when I returned from Ahmedabad,
On 7th October,
At that time, they came to me and said,
They wanted to have some 3-D show.
I asked them what it was, Because I did not know anything.
On 7th October, we had no idea,
The 6 minutes that you enjoyed,
It was about 6 and a half minutes,
I did not know anything.
I asked, What is it?
How much will it cost?
All these general questions that I have.
They explained to me,
They presented a budget of Rs. 50 lakhs, I refused.
I said that instead I will continue an extra 5 minutes of satsang,
A satsang packed with force and power,
Then everyone will experience Him as living anyway.
Instead of spending so much money on this, I would rather spend it on the hospital.
So, I chased them away on 8th October.
Meanwhile, the Audio-Video team, and Nemiji,
And perhaps Ramanji continued to discuss and,
Again after 5 days, they came back saying,
They had found an individual who was willing to do it in Rs. 5 lakhs.
So I started thinking, but Nemiji said to me,
"For Rs. 5 lakhs, what is there to think?"
Finally, I agreed.
The professional team that had to do the mapping,
On the idol, came and did their work properly.
After that, the person who had to create the entire programme,
His mother was hospitalised, so he could not give time.
Our team, within 10 days, learnt it,
In 10 days!
Having learnt it, they worked on it day and night, without any sleep,
And presented it yesterday.
Now, as many times as you want to do it, Abhaybhai,
It can be done free of charge.
Just hire a projector,
Even that, if you are able to bring, then it is all free.
In 10 days!
At 11 or 11:30 p.m., they called me to watch it in the Conference Room.
They showed me a clip of just half a minute. And bit by bit,
They could even have made programme to raise the hand to give blessings,
If they had an extra 4-5 days.
This idea was provided by God, only on 6th or 7th October.
I think that our God wants us to spend sleepless nights.
It is only through this that our devotion increases, and becomes pure.
Had this been decided last November,
Then there would have been a lot of lethargy in between.
Not even one month! When the thought entered,
So the full focus was on Yugpurush, Yugpurush, Yugpurush.
I think that if someone actually fed you, then you probably ate,
Otherwise, you probably carried on working.
Where did you get this energy from?
Where did you get this devotion from?
From one thing that has entered our belief,
That this lifetime is an opportunity to do something unprecedented,
That's it.
If you speak in terms of instrumental cause,
Then it is only the Guru, who fills you with such devotion.
If you speak in terms of material cause,
Then, it is this one decision, that creates so much energy!
That's all.
A way of life.
Renunciation is a new experiment.
Do not give it any frightening meanings.
A new experiment!
Getting married, doing this, doing that,
Applying make up, organising more and more programmes,
After every programme, to complain of being tired.
We are tired!
Whether it is an occasion of marriage or any other,
You will complain of being tired,
But these people do not say so.
Even after many sleepless nights,
We are tired!
This afternoon, there was meant to be a meeting of Centre Leaders,
I had it cancelled at 1 a.m. this morning.
I said that this Mahotsav has left you in such high spirits, a hangover,
What do you call it?
High, high!
It has taken you to such a high,
That now I do not want you to think of any administrative matters.
Go with this high.
At 1:15 at night, I sent this message and had the meeting cancelled.
In your worldly programmes, created by your own desires,
Your own make up,
Your own dress,
Your own programme,
And yet, you get tired.
And in seva of the Lord,
These people work day and night, and are not tired at all!
This is a new experiment.
Renunciation.
You must try.
You made a lot of effort to extract water from a mirage.
Water was clearly visible.
Although there was no actual water, water appeared to be present.
You made a lot of effort, but did not find it.
This happened a second time,
Even the second time, you still did not find it.
In relationships, in wealth, in enjoyment,
Nowhere did you find a steady flow of happiness.
You did not find pure happiness,
You did not find independent happiness.
Now, try to do this experiment.
Diving within yourself.
So it is an experiment,
And it does not even carry much risk.
When I had taken Political Science in BA, I had to learn a lot about Communism also,
We had to study the English translation of Karl Marx's, 'The Communism Manifesto'.
Addressing the labourers of the entire world, Karl Marx spoke these words,
"Oh workers! Start a revolution."
"Do not maintain the attitude of being comfortable with your woes."
"Create a revolution, and do not fear."
"You have absolutely nothing to lose, except your bondage."
"Shackles! Chains!"
"What will you lose, at the most?"
He said, "The bondage that you are in",
"You will be free of the bondage. You have nothing else to lose."
"Neither do you have a home, nor any food,"
"You have nothing at all. No money, you have nothing!"
"Why are you afraid of revolting?"
Similarly, you had this wonderful thought, you were filled with dispassion,
Then, why are you so afraid of putting it into practice?
What is the utmost you can lose?
By renouncing the material world and the liking of the material world,
What will you lose, please tell me that?
Do not delay.
Mark Twain wrote this in his recollections,
One Sunday, I went to the church.
The prayer meeting would have a sermon of 30 minutes - 45 minutes,
There is a sermon, then some hymns are sung.
It is a morning programme from 10 a.m. to 12 noon or 12:30 p.m.
He recollects, that when the sermon started,
Within a short while, I was in such high spirits,
That I decided,
At the end of the programme, it was customary to pass a plate to collect money,
For the maintenance of the church.
Whatever you wanted to contribute, you could place in that plate.
Like that which we call a treasury.
He said, that while the sermon was going on, I had the desire to offer $100 in the plate.
A little time went by,
Just like, yesterday, you were in a different state of mind at 6:30 p.m.,
At 7:30 p.m., you were in a different state of mind,
At 8:30 pm, in a different state of mind,
At 9:30 pm, in a different state of mind,
At 10:30 pm, in a different state of mind,
At 11:20 pm, in a different state of mind.
But steady?! Even in such a beautiful environment, you cannot remain steady.
Your spirits may have continued to rise,
Or perhaps due to physical fatigue, your spirits may have, risen and fallen and risen,
The same happened with Mark Twain.
As the programme continued a bit longer,
A thought arose, that $100 is probably too much!
If I offer $50, it is enough.
See how the spirits are declining.
So, 'One who prevents the inclination from falling'
Your words of nectar, countenance and divine association.
Then, why do I need to fear? I have taken this step with your support.
Then, I will take your support,
Whenever there is a decline in my spirits,
I will take support of Your countenance, words of nectar and association.
As Mark Twain recollects,
That some more time passed and, I thought that $10 is enough.
Then the programme finished and the plate was on its way,
By the time the plate came near, He thought that $1 is probably enough.
Every time I offer $1, so why should I offer $100 today?
When the plate actually came to him, while placing $1 in the plate,
As we was placing it,
He saw that many had placed a lot of money. So he took back 50 cents from the plate.
Thinking, that he felt like offering only 50 cents.
The message is,
As soon as a good thought arises, put it into practice immediately,
Do not delay,
If you have a thought today,
Yesterday, someone sent me an email at 12:40 a.m.,
Fortunately, I was checking,
He said, I have a strong desire to take the vow of life-long celibacy.
So, I replied, 'Take it.'
If I had said, wait until the next Kartik Purnima,
Then he may have re-married by then!
This is how strange one's state of mind is.
So as soon as a good thought arises, then apply it immediately.
We do this anyway when a bad thought arises!
So if we put a good thought in practice,
Then what do we have to lose?
In the first case, it is a definite loss.
In this case, at least there is an option,
Although there is a risk, there is still a possibility of gaining.
There will be times when feelings of
Detachment arise and you consider taking Atmarpit Diksha.
You will discuss this at home,
The parents of these five were such, that they supported them,
That this is the only right path.
We could not embark on it, if you have the readiness, then, definitely.
So, whatever I am about to say, does not apply to them at all.
But generally speaking, if someone has the slightest feeling of detachment,
And he has the desire to convert the feeling of detachment into renunciation,
Then the first problem comes from the close family,
From friends,
Firstly, my first question is, "Who is your close family?"
"Who is your friend?"
Leave aside defining close family, who is your true friend?
One who wishes your welfare, one who wishes your happiness,
One who gives you the freedom, that your life is your own,
What you wish to do with your life, is a decision that only you can take.
If we have to offer a suggestion once in while, we offer it.
If a boy wants to marry someone from a different religion,
If he is in love, then the elders will advise him once or twice,
But finally, they will say, that your life is your own.
And if your happiness lies in that, then,
So, who is a true relative?
One who wishes your welfare,
Your happiness,
And one who gives you freedom to live your own life.
Freedom!
This is the only true relative.
And if you are sure that you want to embrace renunciation but,
They are very upset.
When we see others unhappy, should we not feel compassion for them?
What does religion teach us?
If anyone is unhappy, be it your mother or anyone else,
Then you must have compassion for this unhappy person,
Who can she rely on?
Remember, even today, she cannot rely on you!
You are not 'hers.'
I ask, do you dress according to your mother's wishes or your own?
Your mother said, "It's winter, so, eat these nourishing foods,"
Do you eat them?
When you are angry, do you not say, "Mummy, please stop talking!"
In all such incidents, you do not remember compassion.
My mother wishes that I run around naked, So let me run around naked.
No.
You don't think of compassion at these times.
You say, it is my life and should be lived according to my will.
I am not telling you to stop being grateful.
You must be concerned about her concerns.
But do not change your resolve of renunciation.
This is what I am saying.
Lovingly convince her.
Make a lot of effort to bring about a change of heart in her.
If I am in love with a girl, and my parents do not agree,
Then I will make every effort to convince them,
What is wrong with her? She is good, this is good, that is good,
I will try to convince them in every way.
You must have similar love for renunciation,
Such that your decision for renunciation remains unchanged,
And they have a change of heart.
Finally, they are convinced and say, "My wish is that you remain happy,"
"And I am convinced that you will be happy on this path,"
That's all.
When Nemiji was 25 years old,
And the situation arose to get permission for his initiation,
His parents had almost given, in fact, had given full permission.
But one of his relatives said, "This path is good,"
She comes for satsangs as well,
"But a few questions are bothering me," she asked three questions,
Nemiji gave three answers,
At the end of it, she said, "May you prosper on this path,"
"May you be happy on this path."
The first question was:
"Right now, your spirits are high, but what if your feelings change?"
"What if some tendencies hinder you, and you become unhappy?"
"Instead, why don't you marry, and then practise as much religion as possible?"
Like this, if you want to do something wrong, And like this, for something right, etc.,
"What if your feelings are not the same as today?"
"What if there comes a time when you have to give up your initiation."
"Have you considered this?"
So, he counter questioned,
He did not reply to any of the three questions.
Three counter questions for the three questions.
This question came from his aunt,
He asked, "When you married my uncle, were you afraid that he may divorce you?"
She answered, "Then, I was in such high spirits, this thought did not even occur."
"One shouldn't think so negatively, once the marriage date has been fixed."
Nemiji replied, "Exactly!"
The second question is,
"It's fine that you listen to satsang, and like it, we like that."
All parents like this.
They like it very much, that the children like satsang,
But when the children conduct themselves as per the what they hear in satsang,
That they do not like!
So she said, "This is the first time you are taking such a step."
So he responded, "When the first man went to the moon for the first time,"
"How many times had he gone there before?"
On the moon, when the first man went there for the first time,
How much experience did he have before that of going on the moon?
There is always a first time.
After that, he was direct, as she was his aunt after all!
She was like his mother, so he asked, "When you got married to my uncle,"
"Before that, how much experience did you have of being married?"
His aunt said, "This is the last question."
I think that it was your aunt who 'tightened' your dispassion.
More than me, I think your aunt has made the highest efforts.
By the time he answered her questions, he was on his way out.
This was how she prepared him.
The third and final question: "You are only 25 years old yet,"
"You are still very young, and your intellect is still not mature."
The elders always think this way.
Even if their son has a son, they still feel that their son is immature.
So Nemiji said, "If a 25-year-old boy is not married, you say, it is too late."
I am speaking from the generally accepted perspective,
That at 25 years,
I am talking of the Indian mentality, where discussions start from the age of 21,
That at 25 years, it is said, "He is 25 years old and still unmarried?"
It is too late. I am saying this from the worldly perspective.
And from the spiritual perspective,
I have been transmigrating since eternity, it is already too late,
There should be no further delay of even one more day.
See, it is not that one should not have concern for one's relatives.
But in having concerns for them, do not change your mind about renunciation.
Bring about a change of heart in them, with their blessings, embark on this path.
And the other problem is,
There are only two problems,
My time is up!
The other problem is, "Am I worthy?"
I still have desires, anger, ego, attachments, greed, deceit!
So many things are hindering me, am I really deserving of renunciation?
I am a doctor.
It is a separate matter that I do not add it to my name.
Not of medicine but a literary one, but, I am a doctor.
When you go to a doctor with an illness, and if the doctor says,
"Get better first and then I will give you medicine."
Does this happen?
You take the medicine, so you become well.
"Once you get better and come to me, then I will give you medicine."
Become free of desires, anger, ego, attachments, greed, deceit,
Then come to me, I will give you initiation.
Why do we need to come to You after that?
Please give me initiation, so that this becomes my only activity.
"The single desire for self-realisation,"
"No other disease (i.e. desire for position etc.) in the mind."
At present, I have too many desires,
Please give me initiation first, so I have only one aim,
That of inner purification.
Renunciation is only the lighting of the lamp, the programme starts after that.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji lit the ceremonial flame,
To mark the auspicious start of the Grand Celebration.
Similarly, renunciation is like lighting the lamp of your spiritual practice,
Whatever you may have done before that, is unimportant.
It is good. It is a good thought.
So, do not think twice about worthiness.
All problems can be solved.
No matter, how much your attachments hinder you, there is always a solution.
Enlightened Beings teach through a different method,
Which is,
Sometimes, you might not be able to solve your problems,
Through logical thinking, you should apply lateral thinking.
Logical thinking is the use of logic in thinking.
Lateral thinking is to think in a different direction.
What is this?
There was a farmer, who had incurred a huge debt.
That year, when he had to repay the debt, in that year too, his crops failed.
He was very troubled; if the moneylender did not give him some time,
Then he would certainly be arrested.
So, very fearfully, he went to seek mercy, along with his daughter.
An assembly of arbitrators had gathered, a decision was going to be made there.
He pleaded for mercy, "Please give me more time, and I will repay all my debts."
Otherwise, he would be arrested immediately.
The moneylender was tempted,
He was attracted towards the farmer's daughter who had accompanied him.
So the moneylender said, "Let me give you two options."
"Let us perform an experiment,"
"Here is a bag, I will pick up and put two stones in it, one black and one white."
"Then, you have to pick one, the daughter has to pick one stone."
"If she picks the white stone, then I will waive his entire debt."
"Not give him more time, but waive his entire debt."
"And the girl does not have to marry me."
"But if the black stone is picked,"
"His debt will be waived, but the girl will have to marry me."
The moneylender was quite elderly, and ugly looking,
But he was attracted, so he presented this option.
What was it?
If it is the black stone, the debt is waived,
But she will have to marry him.
If it is the white stone, the debt is waived,
Moreover, she will not have to marry him.
The entire assembly agreed that it was a wonderful idea.
In any case, he would have been arrested.
In doing this experiment, the debt would be waived in both cases.
In one case, just that the girl would have to get married.
But at least, the man would not go to prison.
There was no third option,
That I will not agree to the experiment,
It was fixed that there will be two stones in the bag,
She would have to put her hand in it, and pick out one stone.
And whichever stone was picked, would be God's justice.
Like you pick a draw from chits.
The girl thought, that if she agreed,
This moneylender has bad intentions, a little away, there were some stones,
He took the bag there and picked up two stones,
But both the stones he picked were black.
The girl saw this.
Whichever one I pick, it is sure to be black,
And if the stone is black, what was his condition?
That the debt would be waived, but the girl would have to marry him.
Have you understood?
So, if she agreed, then she would have to sacrifice her life.
If she disagreed, then her father would be arrested.
If she revealed that the moneylender was cheating,
Then he would take frightful revenge on her.
Logical thinking, emotional thinking,
Emotional thinking can be put aside,
Not even logical thinking would work,
She went on lateral thinking.
From that perspective, something out of the box.
And she found a solution to the problem.
The bag was on the ground,
The moneylender was sitting on a chair, and the bag was underneath.
She said I am taking the option to pick, she picked a stone out of the bag,
It was still in her fist,
She was so skilful, she acted as though, she banged into the chair,
The chair on which the moneylender was sitting,
And acted as if the jerk caused the stone to be thrown.
All the people thought that she banged herself,
And the stone slipped out of her hand and was thrown somewhere.
But actually, she had done it intentionally.
The girl said, "I did not even see which colour the stone was."
"But, whichever stone is still inside, it must be a different colour from that."
"You can check which stone is inside,"
Which stone was there?
It was a black stone.
Then, which stone would the other be?
White.
What was the condition regarding the white stone?
The debt is waived, also, she would not have to marry him.
To win against delusion, you do not need to be very strong,
But skilful.
All this skill is provided by the Enlightened One's,
Words of nectar, divine countenance and association.
With this mighty support, this step is taken.
How to fool karma,
How to trick the manifested karma, so, it is unsuccessful, and is shed,
This skill is provided by the Enlightened One,
Not only through the words of nectar,
But words of nectar, divine countenance and association.
When there is a drumroll,
During the Maha abhishek, nothing like this had been decided,
As the garland was being placed, the Audio department played nice music,
When there is good music, people just start dancing,
When an Enlightened Being is present in your life,
Then true seeker, without any delay, embarks on the path,
He increases his impetus, he increases his dispassion,
If you receive the right understanding, if the right devotion has arisen,
Let us remove the word 'right' for devotion,
Right understanding is correct as it is received from the Lord.
If you have received right understanding, if even the slightest devotion has arisen,
On the basis of this knowledge and devotion, you can deal with any situation.
You can arouse impetus and dispassion.
There are many types of friends in this world.
Some people we make our friends, because they are free,
Others are not available.
So you ask, "Who is free?"
"Who is free amongst the Atmarpits, I will make him my friend."
Nemiji does not give time, Apurvaji does not give time,
Maulikji does not give time either, Rajuji is never present,
No one is available, so who is free?
Let me make him my friend,
So, many people make those who are free their friends.
Some make friends with people who they can meet every day.
Some make friends with people who share the same habits,
The same bad habits,
People make friends with those who share the same good and bad habits.
Some make friends with people who do as they wish.
Nemiji argues a lot,
But that person; if I do this, he will sit; if I do this, he will stand.
He is my friend.
Your true friend is only the Sadguru.
According to the latest information, as of today, the world population is 7.5 billion.
As I had said before; on one hand the affection of 7.5 billion,
On the other hand, the Sadguru's unconditional compassion,
This is greater,
This support,
So this occurrence is the result of deep love.
Because, the Guru is called 'death' in the scriptures.
Why would the word 'death' be used?
Because when the Guru destroys your ignorance,
You like the Guru very much.
How wrong my thinking was! I realised today.
Did you like it or not?
When the Guru destroys your attachments,
When He destroys your ignorance, you like it.
When He destroys your attachments,
You may not like it, but you believe it to be right.
He has destroyed my attachment to this sensory pleasure,
Although I feel hurt, it is correct.
But when the Guru destroys your ego,
Then neither do you like it, nor does it seem right.
Hence it is said, that the Guru is death.
You have fallen in love with such a Guru?
Which means you are in love with death?
In deep love?
Then this is the only path for you.
One who can fall in love with death, one who willingly runs towards death,
He is already a renunciate, he does not have to be initiated.
The Guru-disciple relationship is like that of fish and water.
Without water, the fish dies.
For the fish, water is not water, water is life.
For you, it may be water,
But for the fish, it is its life,
Such intense devotion.
Do you know what happens when such intense devotion arises?
The heart blossoms,
The heart has one quality, to make you take a leap; the intellect cannot do this.
I am not suggesting that one does not need the intellect,
Intellect has limitations,
Intellect can help you make decisions,
But to execute the decisions, you will need passion, you will need the heart.
The intellect confirms that this alone is the right path,
Does it not say this?
But because the heart has not blossomed, so you cannot jump.
Renunciation cannot be the result of thinking.
Renunciation is the result of the heart.
The power to jump can only be given by the heart,
The heart blossoms only when limitless love arises for such an Enlightened Being.
After that,
Is darkness destroyed bit by bit?
It is destroyed the moment there is light.
The decision is taken in one moment,
How much time did we give to Aniruddh? We did not give him any time.
We only gave him as much time as it took him to come to the stage,
In case he wanted to decline.
It's another thing that his yearning was so great.
He had been pleading, "Bapa, please do it this year."
"If this year passes, I do not know what may happen."
Suddenly, a marriage proposal may come, the parents may say, it's a very good family,
Now get married, how old is he now?
28 or 29?
If there is a slight force and at that time, if there is even a slight decline in spirit,
A different path may get chosen.
He would say this to me, "Bapa, do not delay, do not delay."
I said that this is what I have to tell people,
Do not delay.
The heart will make you leap.
Intellect will calculate - mathematics.
Is there any benefit?
This can be done even whilst living as a householder,
What is the benefit of leaving everything?
Then, this will not happen, that will not happen.
Fear and benefit, this is how the intellect thinks.
On the other hand, love for the Guru, makes the heart blossom so much,
That the intellect does not get any space to make its point.
It takes a leap.
He is ready for renunciation,
Who understands that the material world is an illusion - this is false.
Save your claps for later.
This is not right.
Not one who understands, but one who feels it so.
There is a difference between the two.
One is to understand that the entire world is worthless.
This is because you know Gujarati, that is why you are saying.
The other is because I feel it.
When you see soil, do you think, 'This is soil, this is soil,'
If it is, it is, and I know it.
What is there to think and understand?
If it is soil, it is.
But when it comes to gold,
Then you think, "No, no, this is just a modification of the earth. This is only soil."
This means that you don't feel that it is soil.
You understand that it has the value of soil.
But you do not feel it.
He is ready for renunciation, who, feels it is false, illusory. That's all.
Then, everything that is worthless is eliminated.
When you receive an invitation from a Great Being,
Then you don't have to make much effort to discipline yourself.
Birbal said, that if you draw a long line, then the other one becomes short.
Similarly, when the Enlightened Being,
This Being of Love, this Eternal Being,
When the wealth of His love is experienced, then everything else will appear petty.
If you believe it to be petty, it will definitely to leave.
When leaves become dry, they shed from the tree.
And whilst shedding, there is silent falling.
Do you play the drumroll?
Is there any music when the tree is shedding a leaf?
Start the audio, now the Atmarpit Diksha is about to start?
Silent falling. Without making any noise.
Without any ego.
All I had to inspect today was,
Amongst these five, who was removing and throwing the jewellery with the most force?
He is immature.
He is weak.
Because there is no need to have so much aversion for the worthless.
It should slip away.
But if it has been clasped, then remove it and let it go.
Do you throw a banana peel like this?
While eating a banana, do you throw the banana peel with such force?
This is dispassion that has not matured, in which there is ego, there is pretence.
Silent falling, like dry leaves.
I took whatever judgement I had to take.
But I am always ready, in the next moment, if you change, I will change.
But if this person has thrown it with force, then he is worthless.
Because, what harm had it done to you? That you are throwing it with so much anger.
Just remove it.
When we finish eating a banana, we drop the peel,
This is India, we can throw it anywhere.
We don't need to go as far as the garbage.
This is the fun in India.
Eating, drinking ...
Loving surrender.
I have taught these 5 brave ones that, one sheath cannot hold two swords.
Either the material world will stay or the Lord.
Either I can stay or you.
Now, we want only the Lord in our hearts,
So, we want to progress on this path.
In last November, rather in September, after 27 September,
When we sat together after 27 September,
To discuss how we want to celebrate this Grand 150th Birth Anniversary,
At that time, the entire SC, Steering Committee assembled,
I asked each of them for one gift.
I want to offer it to my Guru, I will not be able to do this without your help.
Each of you, please give me one gift,
They said, "Please tell us. We are willing to offer this with love."
Everyone offered with love but more than all your offerings of love,
The offering of love that these 5 will give today, is supreme,
So let us witness their initiation.
