0:00 No matter what the owner does, highly educated people do not go to the saints and saints, and if they do, they fold their hands with discretion, do not bow with respect. They have such a feeling in their minds, what is wrong with Maharaj? Maharaj, show me some miracle. I know everything. I will not bow my head like that. Highly educated people are proud. They only bow when they see a miracle. Salute after a miracle is pride, and salute without a miracle is humanity. Highly educated people are proud. Saints never perform
0:48 miracles. Miracles are performed by magicians who want to earn money, who want to be famous. That magician performs miracles. Saints are not attracted to money. Saints do not like fame. Those who have received the joy of God are called saints. Saints stay away from money and fame. It is not good to have a lot of fame, it is also not good to get a lot of money. Too much wealth and prestige do not live in one place. There is no
1:35 need to earn a lot of money. There is no need to study a lot. There is one big flaw in highly educated people: they do not have superstitions. The illiterate person has superstition. Superstition is necessary in the path of devotion. It is written in our scriptures that one should not have superstition in the body where there is excrement or urine. There is no excrement or urine in the body of God. Have superstition in Shri Ram, Shri Krishna. Do not have superstition in humans. In practice, people have faith in doctors. Many times cases get worse at the hands of doctors,
2:20 yet they have faith in doctors. These doctors are very losers. Have superstition in God. It is very necessary. Those who worship with superstition, after twelve years, gradually they experience it. In the beginning, it is not experienced. The very educated do not have superstition. I met a very educated sir and he used to say that Maharaj, you are correcting the story, but you are telling a very old story. We should speak according to the times. We are very educated. You say in the story that one should not drink water without offering it to God. God drinks water. God does not eat and
3:08 God does not drink water. All this is a play. I do not believe that if God eats, why does it not decrease after taking food? These are the questions of today's atheists. There is not a single question that Vyasji has not written the solution to in the Bhagavad Gita. Vyas Narayan knew what kind of intelligent people will be born in Kali Yuga. No great wise man like Vyas Narayan has been born and will not be born. Namostute Vyas Vishal Buddha Vyasji has not left any subject. This is the last book of Vyasji. After thousands of years of
3:55 penance, he did continuous devotion to God. When the intellect has become extremely mature, he has written the story of Bhagavad Gita. He has not left any subject. After thousands of years of penance, Vyasji has given us what he has got. He did not write these books to deceive anyone. He wrote books to show the society the right path. Some people have a lot of faith in their own intellect. They think that I am very wise and very educated. My intellect does not accept it. Oh, your intellect is very corrupt, that is why it does
4:41 not accept it. Everything that our sages have written is true in Bengali. Those who eat pulses and rice may be lying to the living. Our sages used to eat leaves and fruits of trees, wear loincloths, sit under trees. They have no selfishness. Everything written in our scriptures is true. If the intellect does not accept what is written in the scriptures, it is the fault of the intellect. The intellect is corrupted. Trust in the saints in the scriptures. [Music] Keep eating God. God is health. It does not
5:27 decrease. God is health. Both principles are true. God does not eat as quickly as humans eat. All the pastimes of God are divine. And in this Kali Yuga, if God starts eating like humans, no one will even eat God. Everyone knows that the amount of food you give, you will get back the same amount of Prasad. God is not like humans. All the pastimes of God are divine. He draws divine juice from the things you offer to God. God is the one who enjoys the juice. The
6:15 Vedas describe it as the taste of Brahmana and Vipasschita are the same as the divine essence. Health [Music] This is a rose flower. You weigh it and after weighing it, take the bamboo five or ten times. Take the bamboo and weigh it again. The weight will decrease. Weigh it before taking the bamboo and take the bamboo and weigh it again. The weight does not decrease at all. A human being has such a power. He draws the fragrance from the flower. The flower does not feel the push.
7:05 Even if he draws the fragrance, the weight of the flower does not decrease. Just as a human being draws the fragrance from the flower, God draws the divine essence from the material that you offer to God. Just as you draw the fragrance, God is a taster. Superstition is necessary on the path of devotion. Where there is ordinary love, God consumes it in the form of essence. Where there is excessive love, God also consumes it directly. Shabri Maa gives fruit in the hands of Ramji. Shabri Maa's love had increased a lot and that is why
7:53 Ramji is hungry. Shabri Maa said, "Mother, I am hungry, my Ram is hungry. He brings fruit to Shabri Maa." The fruit is given in the hands of Ramji. Ram does not see what is given in Shabri. Seeing the love of Shabri Maa, the Lord is pleased. There is no doubt. If the religion that the Lord has decided leaves his religion, it is easy. The one who is steadfast in his religion, understanding the command of God, remain steadfast in religion. The one who leaves religion is easy. The one who remains steadfast in religion is the
8:40 best. It is not that one should be born in a Brahmin's house to please the Lord. Prahladji has shown two means. There are two means to please the Supreme Soul: service and remembrance. Worship the Lord with love at home. While chanting the name of the Lord, remember the Lord with your mind. God is my master. I am his ordinary servant. Worship him with a spirit of servitude. Maya has made the soul a slave. The soul has become a slave of Maya. The soul becomes a slave of Maya. The soul
9:39 becomes a slave of God. Worship with a spirit of servitude. God is my master. I am his ordinary servant. Home There is no need to leave. You need to stay in the house with discretion. The owner of the house is God. No living being can be the owner. If you think a little, you will realize that this soul is not the owner of the body either. How does the soul become the owner of wealth? How does the soul become the owner of the house? The
10:39 owner of this body is God. You can stay in this house as long as God commands and then leave the house when God commands. Can anyone tell God that I have been living in this house for 50 years and now my rights have been taken away? If God commands, then you have to leave the house. The soul is not the owner of the body either. Humans are not the owners. The master of the house is God. I am just an ordinary servant. The master has a lot of mercy on me. God has given me a lot of happiness. Worship God with the spirit of servitude. You will be well. Some people recite the Gita, do self-study, say prayers but do not worship. Without worship, God does not listen to prayers. There is a
11:26 great need for a little worship. God knows your situation. Someone makes a gold idol and worships it. Someone makes a clay idol and worships it. Seeing its value, God is pleased. Worship with love. It is written in our scriptures that a house where God is not worshipped is not a house, it is a crematorium. In a house where God is not worshipped, even water should not be drunk. That house is very impure. The beauty of the house is because of God.
12:14 God has given it to you. So, make a beautiful throne for God. People spend thousands of rupees and order furniture. They do not make a throne for God. Lakshmi belongs to Narayan. Lakshmi cannot be of any living being. Use Lakshmi. Make a beautiful throne for God. Make God sit on the throne. The owner of this house is the owner of this house. Worship God with love. It is the religion of every living being. Do not even drink water without worshipping God.
13:07 Many times it happens that the wife worships in the house and the husband feels satisfied. The wife eats, so the husband is not satisfied. The one who eats is satisfied. It is the religion of every living being. Worshiping God in the house and everyone else eats without worshiping. That is a sin. Only by worshiping does one love God. Only by worshiping does one have affection for God.
13:52 God looks at those who worship with great love. This is my God. If someone else worships your God and you like food, then believe me. My devotion is wrong. Why do you like food without worshiping your God? This is my God. [Music] People these days keep money separately. They keep money in the name of their wife, brother, or sister. Therefore, they pay less income tax. [Music] They
14:39 keep money separately. Why don't they keep God separately? This is my God. I will worship my God. No one else will do it for me. Worship with love. Not wanting to worship God is the biggest sin. People give donations. People go on pilgrimages. It is good and very good. Worship your God with love in your home. Love is the main thing in worship. Worship with love. When you worship, do
15:26 n't think that this idol is in the market, in the shop, and it is called an idol. The one who is sitting in the house and worships it with love and ritual is not an idol. God is like fire entering iron. After heating iron in fire, that iron does not remain in the idol. After putting the iron in the fire, what will happen if someone touches it thinking it is iron? God enters the idol. Worship with the feeling that this is the real God. He loves
16:21 God a thousand times more than the love you have in your body. God is very gentle. Some people have brought Thakorji to the temple and at that time, when a special brother comes to meet him, he talks to him for ten to fifteen minutes. God is sitting in the temple. In the morning, someone keeps you in the pond for half an hour. What will happen to you? God feels cold. God is very gentle. This idol is not the real God. Do not laugh loudly in the presence of God. It is
17:08 very sinful. Do not speak loudly in the presence of God. It is sinful. If someone speaks loudly, Balakrishnalal feels afraid. It seems like he has come to fight. Balakrishnan is very gentle. You should sit down to worship God. If anyone comes to your house, tie his hands to him. Do not give him an eye. I need to give him an eye. God, if anyone comes, do not insult anyone.
17:53 Worship Him, my God is the greatest of all. I do n't want to look at anyone. I don't want to talk to anyone. [Music] Maybe if he feels wrong, what if he feels wrong? He won't come to your house again. What else was there to do? There is no one greater than God. Worship everyone. There is no need to give eyes. If someone comes during worship, there is no need to talk to him. My God is the greatest of all. Worship God with devotion. Bathe God. Decorate God beautifully. Apply tilak to God. If you can, make a garland with your own
18:41 hands at home and offer it to God. God doesn't like market garlands very much. Market garlands are not very sacred. Instead of remembering God, make a garland of flowers with your own hands. Offer the garland made by hand to God. Eat the food of God. Then pray to God. This is yours. This is yours. Shri Shankaracharya Maharaj has written a commentary on the name Vishnu Sahasra. On the way to Badri Narayan, Vishnu Prayag comes. The saints there describe this in this way. In Vishnu Prayag, sitting on the banks of the Ganges, Shri
19:29 Shankar Swami wrote a commentary on Vishnu Sahasranama. Shri Shankaracharya Maharaj was very fond of Vishnu Sahasranama. He used to recite Vishnu Sahasranama while walking on the road. Gayam Gita Naam Sahasranama Jayam Shripati Roop Majasaram Dayam Din Janaya Chittam Neyam Sajjan Sange Chittam Bhaj Govindam Bhaj Govindam Govindam Bhaj Mula Madhe has written a commentary on Vishnu Sahasranama. He has explained the divine meanings of each name. He has concluded the commentary there.
20:17 At the end, he has written a verse at the end: Adareena Yathastvati Dhanavantam Dhaneya Tatache Vishwa Kartaram Kon Muchet Bandhanat. By writing this verse, he has completed the commentary on Vishnu Sahasranama. At the end, he has written a verse that means that a greedy person flatters a nobleman out of greed. He insists on a nobleman just as he does. They serve food as they respect the Lord, they praise him as they respect him. If the Lord is pleased, they will get money. They flatter the Lord like they flatter the Lord out of greed for money. They
21:09 flatter God by sitting in solitude. They praise the Supreme Being. They convince God. If a Lord comes to your house, you convince him by insisting and serving food. They bow to God and say, "I have made all this for you. This is yours. I offer it to you. I have a lot of feelings for you. You are healthy. When you eat food, it takes you ten to fifteen minutes. Eat God peacefully too. Some people eat and
21:56 say to God, "Pranay Swaha Panay Swaha, eat quickly. I have to sing now. Do n't do that. [Music] Yashoda Maya used to persuade Balakrishna Lal a lot, but when Kanaiyo used to eat a little, Balakrishna has got into such a habit. Those who sit near Balakrishna, who convince God with love, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna. While performing kirtan, please convince God a little. Love is the main thing in worship.
22:42 Pray to God. Do not rush in eating. Go to someone's house and place a plate in front of you. If they say, "Pranaya Swaha Panaya Swaha Vyanaya Swaha" and then pick up the plate and take it away, then what will happen to you? Convince God with love. Love is the main thing in worship. This is the real God. When you sit down to worship, leave the worldly relationship in your mind. When you sit down to worship, forget your village and home. Have the feeling that I am in Vaikuntha. I am the abode of
23:28 God. Whoever leaves the worldly relationship in his mind. When you sit down to worship, feel that I am a servant of God. I am not a husband and I am not a wife. I am not a woman. I am not a man. I am a part of the Supreme Soul. I am a servant of God. Whoever leaves the worldly relationship remains in the Brahman relationship. Worship God with love. After listening to the story, do not drink water without worshiping. You will get sixteen fruits of this story. Some people think that a gift of ten to 20
24:14 rupees By keeping it, we get all the virtues of Bhagwat. By giving money, we get virtues. If God has given us money, use it wisely. After listening to the story, if you want to get the sixteen fruits of this story, worship it with love. You will be well. You will get the sixteen fruits of this story. I do not want to drink water without worshiping God. Worship with love and remember God while chanting the name of God. There are two means to please God: service
25:00 and [music]. If you worship properly for twelve years with love, after twelve years you will have some experience. A person does not worship with love, he becomes lazy in worship. He does not have the desire to worship. That is the biggest sin. After listening to the story, take the rules. I will worship. I will chant the name of God. You will get the hundred fruits of this story. Prahladji has made a very big hymn. He has explained the meaning of three or four verses.
25:50 Narasimha Swami has told Prahladji, ask for whatever you wish. Prahladji has said with folded hands. Please grant me such a favor that I do not desire to enjoy any worldly pleasures. The desire to enjoy pleasure is the greatest suffering. The desire to enjoy pleasure destroys the power. The desire to enjoy pleasure begins the sin. The desire to enjoy pleasure spoils the mind. God will give you happiness. If you get any happiness by the grace of God, consider it as God's gift.
26:36 Enjoy that happiness by remembering God. Do not resolve that I want to enjoy some happiness. The mind is very spoiled by resolving to enjoy any worldly pleasures. God will give you happiness. God is very generous. God gives happiness even to atheists. Those who say that I do not believe in God, those who say in pride that I do not have time to worship God, God says, you do not believe in me, but I believe in you. God believes in everyone. God gives wind and light to everyone. God gives happiness to atheists. Why doesn't He give you happiness? You are a believer. You are a Vaishnav. You are the beloved of
27:25 God. You are a part of the Supreme Soul. God gives happiness to you. That is God's gift. Believe and enjoy happiness with God. I want to enjoy some happiness. Do not waste your mind thinking about enjoying happiness. Prahladji has said, " Please do not wish to enjoy any happiness of this world. Kamanamruham Bhavatastu Vrine Varam." He who has known the form of God, who knows the nature of God, does
28:11 not ask for the happiness of this world from God. He asks for God only from God. God is my desire. The soul does not know the form of God. The soul does not know the nature of God and therefore falls after the world. The Supreme Soul is very generous. Please. The body of Hiranya Kashyapa has been cremated. The Shraddha ceremony has been performed. Then Brahmaji has placed Prahlad on the throne and crowned him. Prahlad has become king. Prahladji bows to Lord Narasimha. My Prahlad has become king. Lord Narasimha is
28:59 sitting in bliss. Prahladji said, "Today I have a desire to ask." The Lord said, "Ask." Prahladji asks, "My father used to criticize you. My father used to torture the saints and Brahmins. Please grant me the grace to save my father. Please grant me the grace to save my father." The Lord smiled and said, " What can I do to save your father? Your devotion has saved your father. A father gives his wealth to his son and the father goes away. The
29:47 father gives the inheritance of wealth to his son. Whatever good deeds a son does, his parents inherit. If he is a good son like Prahlad, he saves his parents. If he is a wicked son like Duryodhana, he also brings misfortune to his parents. After having a son, the duty of the parents increases a lot. Not building a bungalow for his son or keeping money in the bank is not a crime. Not giving good morals to his son is a crime.
30:33 Give your child the morals of devotion only when his heart is tender. Explain to him properly that he should not eat a single day without offering it to God. A child If you explain it to him at a young age, he will believe it. When he grows up, his heart will become as hard as a stone. Some people eat on the road, some do not like home, they only like the market. Never eat from the market. Give your children good manners. Give them the manners of devotion in their childhood. A righteous son like Prahlad brings
31:21 good fortune to his parents, and a wicked son like Duryodhana brings misfortune to his parents. There was a crow living in a tree. In the evening, a swan and a swan came there. It was dark. The swan said to the crow that we want to stay here all night. The crow said, " Even if it is a swan, the swan stayed on the tree on the side at the crow's request. The crow's eye is very bad. It is written in our scriptures that one who commits many sins with his eyes becomes a crow in his next birth. Do
32:08 n't forget, remember that the eye does not give you the opportunity to commit sins. The crow started looking at the swan repeatedly, then the crow's gift In the morning, when the swans started to go to the swan, the crow held the swan and said to the crow, "What are you doing?" The crow said, "This is mine. You are judging this. In the evening, we two came. No, you came alone. The swan is mine. I will not leave. Both of us have gone to the court. The crow is very clever. He is cunning. The
32:56 crow must have gone to meet the judge at the judge's bungalow. He gave the judge a bribe. He told him that tomorrow you have to give justice. The swan belongs to the crow. If you give justice for me, I will take you to where your dead parents are. Since the crow is a guardian angel, he sees his dead parents. He gave the judge a bribe. You will give justice for me. Out of greed, the judge gave the wrong justice. It is not the swan's, it is the crow's. The swan was very sad. The
33:44 judge said to the crow, "I have given justice for you. Now take me to where my parents are." Go, he told me that I will show you. The crow took the judge to the grove. There, he was covered in worms. He explained to the judge that this worm is your father [music] or my father has become a worm. If a son sits on the judgment seat and gives wrong justice out of greed, his father will not become a worm. Because of your sins, your father will become a worm and you too will become a worm. If you are a very sinful son, then your mother and father will suffer. If your son is a
34:35 devotee of God like Prahlad, then he will bring good fortune to his parents. What can I do to save your father? Your father has been liberated by your devotion. Naradji narrated the beautiful story of Prahladji to the king during the Rajasu Yajna. There is a general rule that a chapter is completed when the speaker looks at the face of the listener and that clever speaker understands by looking at the face of the listener. It goes that how the story has affected
35:23 you, if you get very bored, then you will also know that [Music] While telling the story, Naradji looked at Dharmaraja. Dharmaraja was sitting in the story in a sad mood. Laman put his hand on his shoulder and was worried. Naradji did not like it. I told the story with love, but the king did not enjoy the story. It seems that he is sitting in worry. The heart of a saint is easy. Naradji easily asked, "I did not enjoy the story. What mistake did I make? That is why you did
36:10 not enjoy the story." Dharmaraja said, " No, Maharaj, I do not give you any mistakes. The story has been beautifully made. You did not enjoy the story. Looking at your face, it seems that you are worried." Dharmaraja said, "Maharaj, what you are saying is true. I did enjoy the story. I wonder when Prahlad's love, his faith in God, his faith in God, was there?" Prahladji said, "God is in this pillar." For Prahlad, the Supreme Soul appeared from the pillar at the age of five. I have seen Prahladji. I am 55 years old. I have not seen him even once.
37:00 Like a dog that wanders all day long, I have been chasing money all day long. I have not been chasing God. When a dog is hungry, a dog eats. I have pampered Luli a lot till now. I have eaten a lot. I have not done anything for God. I have not seen God even once. I hate it. I am worried. In the end, Yamadoot will beat me a lot. I will be punished a lot. I have not done anything for God.
37:45 What will be my condition in the end? My body is new, my wealth is rich, my glory is four, my pictures are in different colors. My mind is in a state of confusion. How much?
38:36 Yaminishu Hare Rangri Padme Manse Na Lagnam Tatah Kim Tatah Kim Tatah Kim Tatah Kim Tatah Kim What will be my condition in the end? Yamadoot will beat me a lot [music] I have not done anything for God. No one can earn a lot of money and have a lot of happiness. People call him lucky. It is okay to enjoy happiness today. Where will he go in the afterlife? There is great pain in the afterlife. In our scriptures, it is written that the
39:26 soul that leaves the body feels pain like a thousand scorpions biting at a time. What kind of pain does one scorpion bite? Everyone knows that a thousand scorpions bite one at a time. There is great pain in the afterlife. What will be my condition? I have not done anything for God. I have not seen God even once. I hate it. I worry about that. What will be my condition in the afterlife? In the story, I was happy. I have not done anything for God. My life is like that of an animal. I worry about that. In the
40:15 Rajasu Yajna, Lord Krishna is directly residing in the house of the Pandavas. He performs such leelas that no one knows that I am God. God does not like to be revealed. God always hides his form. He praises the Dharmaraja like that. Big brother, only you can perform such a yajna. How many saints, saints, Brahmins eat
41:03 such a yajna in your yajna? No one can perform such a yajna by hand. If you get the merit of feeding all these people, if I do a little service of lifting the leaves, I will also get some merit. Doing a simple job. In the Gita, Arjuna is told, "I will not expect anything and do good deeds. Do good deeds without any expectations." The teachings given in the Gita are seen fulfilled in the life of God. By working in the Pandavas' house, Shri Krishna is not going to get money. By
41:50 working in the Pandavas' house, Shri Krishna is not going to increase his fame. There is no selfishness. Yet, Shri Krishna is the best of all. Shri Krishna is not touched by pride. He goes to lift the leaves. When God does simple work, other people are also inspired to work. Everyone works without being told. Dharmaraja is praised. Dharmaraja's arrangement is very good. No one has performed such a yajna. God hides his form. God does not like to be revealed. This soul is like that. He does not like to be revealed.
42:37 Some people want to do some good work, right? They give it in print two or four times. We are going to perform Vishnuya. You all take advantage of the darshan.
