  • The ego, desires and surrender to God
  • The story of Vishwamitra and Lord Ram from the Ramayana

Devotional Music

The video begins with a series of devotional chants and music dedicated to various deities, including Ganesha, Saraswati, Shiva, and Rama. These chants invoke blessings, wisdom, and devotion, setting a spiritual tone for the discourse that follows.

Vedanta Philosophy: Sorrow, Destiny, and Desire

The speaker explains Vedanta's perspective that sorrow is not inherent in the world but arises from our desires and expectations. He introduces the concept of destiny (prarabdha) and how our wishes often conflict with it, leading to discontentment. The speaker emphasizes that relationships often start well because we initially accept our destiny, but problems arise when our desires increase and others cannot fulfill them.

The Ego and Separate Identity

The discourse shifts to the topic of ego, described as a separate identity with unique desires and a sense of self-importance. The speaker explains that ego prevents us from merging with the system or recognizing God's will. He stresses the importance of surrendering our separate desires and aligning ourselves with God's plan, using the analogy of a music teacher guiding a student to produce a harmonious note.

Surrender and God's Will

The speaker elaborates on surrendering to God's will, explaining that it involves interpreting life and situations as God would. He uses examples such as following a doctor's orders or adhering to rules in a university or on an airplane to illustrate the necessity of surrendering to a system for a greater purpose. The key is to align our desires with God's knowledge, joy, and desire, rather than maintaining a separate identity.

The Joy of Uniqueness vs. Merging with the System

The speaker contrasts the "joy of uniqueness" (ego) with the importance of merging into a system or community. He explains that every organ in the body works for a common goal, and similarly, individuals should contribute to the greater good. He announces that the following day's discussion will involve the story of Dhanush Bhang from the Ramcharitmanas to further illustrate these concepts.

Vishwamitra and the Nature of Goodness

The speaker begins to narrate the story of Vishwamitra from the Ramayana, focusing on the sage's concern about demons disrupting his yagya (sacrificial ritual). He explains that Vishwamitra felt he needed divine assistance to overcome these obstacles. The speaker then transitions into a discussion about the dangers of goodness when it is accompanied by ego.

The Dangers of Goodness with Ego

The speaker warns that goodness combined with ego can be dangerous. He describes a person who is outwardly virtuous but uses their good deeds to feel superior to others. He emphasizes that true surrender involves recognizing that all our abilities and virtues are gifts from God and that a day will come when we may not be able to perform them.

Duraasha: The Evil Desire

The speaker introduces the concept of "Duraasha" (evil desire), which arises from goodness. He explains that when we do something good, we often develop expectations and a sense of superiority. He uses examples such as expecting others to follow our virtuous habits or feeling frustrated when they don't.

Ishwar and Gratitude

The speaker emphasizes the need for Ishwar (God) to temper our goodness. When we are grateful to God, we don't seek external validation or appreciation for our good deeds. The joy we derive from our spiritual practices, devotion, and surrender is enough.

The Story of Vishwamitra Continues

Returning to the story of Vishwamitra, the speaker highlights that if you are enjoying something, it means God has sent you there. The joy that you wanted, you got it, you don't need that I somebody should say that brother you had gone to listen to the satsang.

Expectation and Living in the World

The speaker explains that expectation is a different way of living in the world. You find out who can give how much. If you can give this much then ask for only this much.

Mind, Intellect, Chitta, and Ego

The speaker explains that ego gets expressed in mind, expectations, inertia in intellect and not to give up on our point in ego and not to be drawn towards God in the mind and all these things will be taken care of by Lord Ram in this journey to Janakpuri.

Love and Separation from God

The speaker explains that the soul is different and love is different. Sita is different, Ram is different. The separation of Ram and Sita is a cause of problem in our life. Sita ji is the manifested love of Lord Ram.

Vishwamitra's Arrival in Janakpuri

The speaker describes Vishwamitra's arrival in Janakpuri, where he is greeted with respect by King Janaka and his sons. Vishwamitra's eyes are drawn to the beauty of Ram, and he becomes engrossed in looking at him.

Seeing God in Others

The speaker encourages the audience to practice seeing God in others so that their hearts may become quiet. He reminds them of all the blessings God has bestowed upon them and encourages them to appreciate these gifts.

Dashrath and Vishwamitra

The speaker narrates the conversation between Dashrath and Vishwamitra, where the sage asks for Ram and Lakshman to accompany him. Dashrath is initially hesitant but eventually agrees.

The Journey with God and Goodness

The speaker explains that God came with goodness. Surrender comes when you feel that God has done some big work for you. Love happens only when someone has done some work for us.

Recognizing God

The speaker explains that to recognize means to have seen it somewhere and recognized it. Knowing is different from recognizing. The feeling of belongingness comes only when someone saves you a lot.

Conclusion and Aarti Announcement

The speaker concludes by reiterating that with the happiness of such a great God, the happiness of chanting, and the happiness of meditation, we do not need anything from anyone. He announces the morning class schedule, including meditation and aarti.

8:52 Shri Ram Chant Siyavar Ram, Ramchandra Lord, Pawanputra Hanuman, Umapati Mahadev, say brothers, all the saints, Shri Satgurunath Maharaj, Namah Parvati Har Har Mahadev Hari Om Hari Om Vedanta is very

9:39 clear on its declaration that sorrow is not in the nature of the world, the sorrow which exists, does not exist in the world. Vedanta has explained this many times. He said that you have a destiny. We understand it as destiny. You cannot change anything that you want to change. It is

10:26 not that we did not try to change, what I tried to change, I could not change, that is called a little strong destiny, it can be good also, it can be bad also, not saying it is bad, only so there is a shape of destiny, there is a shape of destiny in your life and with it there is our wish also. Shape of Desire When destiny is according to our wishes then it is very good. If you can speak in Punjabi language

11:13 then it is great. Brother, after coming to Delhi you should not speak Punjabi language at all. We do n't speak it in Maharashtra etc., but we can speak it here. So destiny is as per your desire. You will say that we are having a good time. But it is very unlikely that destiny will be according to your wishes. It will not be that the faith will be as per your desire the cause is supposing fate is as per my desire

11:59 after my desire is fulfilled with the faith I want a better fate the problem is here you talked to us for 10 minutes suppose you don't have to do it. We are just telling you. We really enjoyed it today. Now we felt that you should have talked for 20 minutes. You did it in 20 minutes. Then I thought, look brother, these are very good. He should have talked to us for at least half an hour or an hour. A time comes that you will not give me what I wanted. That is why any relationship is very good in the beginning.

12:48 Love before marriage is very easy. In the beginning, when I met people it was very good because we had accepted whatever destiny we had. After that he fulfilled our wish and our desire increased. my desire increases after that and a point came to the person in front of me could not fulfil my increased desire that is where the point of discontentment started early we were very good when prarabdha is not according to the wish when impression is without expression when

13:36 prarabdha is not as per your desire then the impression will not be having the expression. Then it will take away your depression. O there is nothing wrong in the system. Vedant said brother it is your mistake. You have made it like this. I feel that he has hurt me. Tell him that he did not fulfill any of your wishes.

14:22 Although we tried to complete it. Or no system did it, our job did not fulfill it, you say that we are troubled with our wife, she did not fulfill our wish, we are troubled with our husband and this one who has the desire, this one who is holding the desire, can be heard till the end. Ok. Good. Is that your wish or everyone's wish?

15:08 That desire which has troubled you is only your desire and somebody else's desire also. If you are worried. So chances are that it is your desire. No one was bothered by that wish of yours. Yes, you definitely did that to him. But that wish, all that wish was not anyone's wish, it 's amazing, the wish which was yours and because of which you got troubled, did not happen that much, or what was our wish, was not anyone's wish, that was particularly my desire, in this big world nobody had that desire, I am doing that.

15:57 I will keep on blaming. He said our luck is bad. You can blame it. Do you consider it to be a blame? The fault is important. This is the reason for our sorrow. We do not think that we are the cause of our suffering. I am not the cause. My desire is not the my desire is a valid desire. Brother, this is all he is asking for from me. So once that is completed something else will come up. The story is not going to end.

16:43 There is a personality in us who has his own unique desires. Separate desires, separate happiness, separate existence, separate joy, separate identity and separate desire, merge them, why should we do it? He this is called ego, he said no one listens to us, do you listen, what did he say, my son doesn't listen to us, you don't listen to your father, then this is a tradition,

17:32 what is this, tell me Kartik left Lord Shiva and went away, you know Kartik, Lord Love Shiva, something like this happened, what did you do, Ganesh ji left the Parikrama, you went away, this tradition has been going on in South India since then, there is no such thing, so the topic of this evening is, if you have known it's a very touchy topic, someone said you take this topic, if someone gets angry, then

18:20 I said brother I keep telling it to myself, right now I don't tell it to anyone, I am talking to myself, if you are over hearing that is yours, I will tell you what happened, okay, are you able to hear it, if you cannot hear it, then please raise your hand, not on anybody, just days, so first find out, there is no such problem in life, it is not our destiny, it is like this. But there is one who has a separate joy three

19:06 things I said separate identity and separate desire corresponding to truth that is called separate identity corresponding to chit separate gyan corresponding to joy separate on joy and separate desire and God has the same desire God wants something else to be executed through no God had any other wish. He said why should we believe, don't believe in God's will. What options do you have? Will have to stay with them. Till when? We will

19:57 have to live with this disease. Till when? I will have to live with this wife, for how long is there one Karva Chauth, there is one Karva Chauth, here too a husband told me, we are observing counter Karva Chauth, we will stay together for seven births, tell me, if one birth is so difficult then I am doing it, are I also observing Nirjala fast ? Yes. I said this is not the case, get it counter done from mother-in-law. And if it happens to them then they will also bear the fruits. The

20:45 situation is not a problem. I gave a lot of value, a lot of importance, a lot of sense of joy in something. Which does not have that joy. Doesn't have that, doesn't have that beauty as I am thinking one thing I will just say that God is here, God is there here also, wherever you sit. What is the name of this colony? Look no no Nirvana Country. Count, so God is there as well, there is

21:30 God outside down in the steel too, where your car is parked, it is not that there is more God here and less there, if you are saying that there is God then there should also be bliss, it is not that there is more bliss here and less bliss there, if you are unmarried there is more bliss, if you are married then there is less bliss, it is not like that, no one is agreeing at this time. That's it. That is true. That since we are educated, we might not enjoy much. God is equally present there too. But I have my separate identity.

22:18 Separate style of thinking than God. Please get my point. Yes God would have interpreted my life, my situation, if I know how to interpret that, if we also did the same as God interpreted it, we would call it surrender to Him, we do not have any separate existence, we have any separate wish, whatever wish becomes His wish, become our wish, make a separate wish and you will be beaten, it will be good, I will wear the dress that will please Sai, if you say then I will wear saffron attire, if you say then I will wear lehenga-

23:04 chunari, if you say then I will put Motiya in the parting, if you say then I will get rid of the case, I do not know about it, before whom should we bow down, if there is any wish of God, what is the knowledge of the wish that has come to light? What is his wish? What is his knowledge? What is his joy? That is where we are not in terms with God. There is one word, good word is there. I am not in terms with him. No one is speaking at all. what do you mean? What is his opinion is not my opinion,

23:51 what is desire not in those terms with him, how will this work? If it is not there then it is not there but not able to get desire, his knowledge, his joy, his desire, his knowledge, his joy is not visible within us, we are not able to melt, I am not able to melt, we are not able to become what we wanted to become like you, music class, is there music class here? It happens in the ashram, well which day, that

24:37 music is Swaranjali, Swaranjali, if there is a music teacher, if he wants to play a raga [music], he will make him repeat it, we are doing it in short shots, it becomes very long, we have forgotten where it started, forget, God wanted to take out a note from us, not like this, do it like this, a special, a special music should be taken out from our life,

25:29 he does not want that there should be anger in us. He doesn’t want us to be too demanding. He doesn't want us to complain too much. A satisfied Yogi. Many people with strong determination and dedicated mind and intellect do not speak, they just give their consent, they say okay, many times those who recite the mantra and are very tired also give their consent, there are

26:14 a lot of words of Jamun Van. Yes, it is easier to shake your head than to move your tongue. This is not good for life. Habitual brother we are the son of wind, sorry for the beautiful Hanuman Chalisa. God is one, his one tone. There is a music, his ego does not know that music. I want my way. We should get our wishes fulfilled.

27:00 The wife should behave as I want. OK OK OK husband should behave as I want OK OK servant should behave as I want I should not want You should try doing the want, tell me once, explain it to me twice, thrice, four times, 10 times, 20 times, 25 times, 100 times you will come to know which wish cannot be fulfilled, you will come to know this in a few days, this is not a surprise. You can try it. But it should be known that here I don't think so this is the desire here. At least there isn't anyone like that right now. We are not able to reconcile it.

27:49 That is where the person travels. In your life you suffered because somebody did not understand. You did not listen to you. Whichever journey you have taken, which one: English or Hindi? Are? The English one. With whom I have travelled here. It was not a pleasant journey. And that season was not the same.

28:35 He completed your point. I did not understand it at all. I did not agree at all. Our happiness was not important to him. Because our happiness was different. If we knew that God's happiness perhaps lies in that 'This is a Situation'. Now his happiness is justified. Ok. We sacrifice our happiness to take his happiness. Is

29:21 life easy to live? This life is not a pudding. Toughness is tested when you are in such a system, when you are in a system where things don't happen as per your wish, no one has given you the place which you wanted from them, be it destiny, be it family, be it sun, it may be it mission, don't say such cheap things. Have

30:11 n't travelled since then. No one understood you properly and you did not understand that he will not understand. And he also did not understand you. And you also did not understand him. Both of them did not understand. Both misunderstandings came together. Troubled If I was tuned to God I would found Bhaiya how is the air here? What is the wind of God? What a wind it is brother, look at God's wind, we

30:56 also have just wind. A mahatma was going in a boat, the boat started sinking, he started pouring river water from his kamandal in the boat, people said he is mad, half crazy, after that when the boat started floating, he started emptying the water from his kamandal, someone said do you ever pour water inside. Do you ever put it out? What are you doing? He said, I am agreeing with whatever God says. He wanted to drown you, you also drowned. If he wants to kill us, we will die. But when the boat was saved, we saved it. The challenge in a relationship arises when we

31:45 express our wishes in front of each other's wishes. Couldn't leave it. His wish means it was God's will because he won, you will understand where it is, what is the score board, living with people is not living with one person who is 70 kg and 80 kg, 80 kg is more than what he said, there are people here who are 80 kg [laughs] some are even more than 80, anyway we were hesitant.

32:36 A man went to a dietician. He gave it to me, look, you eat salad, eat moong dal. I gave a long list of everything. After a month his weight increased. Dietitian, how is it possible, you should eat, he said yes. He said he ate more than what he used to eat [laughs] Life isn't that simple. Because we don't have a surrender mind. System desire to surrender, go to a doctor and tell him look, you will take one

33:23 tablet in the morning, one in the evening and one at night along with it, after this you will take this, stop sugar completely, why are you not pre- diabetic, you are in the midst of diabetes, well people don't take sugar in tea, they take sweets, watch their drama, they say they don't take it in their nature, brother, surrender should not be needed there, what about the doctor who is doing the operation, he says no, don't give me this anesthesia, someone else will give it, you will not decide for how long the anesthesia will last, just keep quiet, he says no, I will not lie down, I will do the

34:09 operation sitting, he says I will not wear these hospital clothes. This is a Taponji gown. So I will be in jeans. The doctor is not going to listen. There is one rule there. You will have to wear the same gown. I hope there is no doctor? I think it is like that. These any good hospitals will not agree with you. He said no, we will do makeup. It is not possible to undergo operation after applying makeup. Let's go. You have to follow, they will say no, you don't have to eat from tomorrow. Hum, you don't have to eat anything. He

34:57 said we can have Maggi. Nothing. I should not eat that. There is no need to surrender, go to the doctor there. He said no, do the operation without anesthesia. It wo n't happen like this. There is a rule. Here you come. There is a rule here too. He told me to switch off my mobile. If someone's mobile rings, he will have to pay ₹5000. Yes to the mission? Well no, there is inflation, you guys can pay it, there is no such thing,

35:46 it's a system, go to a university, there is a rule, this is the first period, second period, the teacher will teach in this manner, there are rules on the roads as well, there are rules in aircraft too, please tighten your seat belts. He said no, I can't do it. No, not like that, you have to titan. Then all the air hostesses will check everything. They will check it each of them isn't it? Yes, some-something but still no Titan, once we were sitting like this in a flight. Yes, like this after turning around in Siddhasana, sorry please sit straight,

36:35 I said I did not say anything brother, I did what I said, there must be some rules of theirs that keep it here, even if you are sitting in Siddhasana, once lie down there, then take off, then we will see later on in this world also there are certain God, wish you cannot have a separate identity, then the God he wants something from you, you know, separate identity means what? What? No one is speaking at all. Yes? Separate identity means ah I am not for all. I am separate. The Joy of Uniqueness is Called Ego. Yes. You have

37:23 come dressed so well today. No one has it like us. Uniqueness I am unique. People say, friend, you are different. Thank you. No we are fools we mean let me complete. You have a different kind of stupidity. This is what we want to say. Nobody does stupid things the way you do. I want to say this. Let me say what? You are not a part. You don't merge into the system. Look, there are parts inside the body. And everything has merged in me. They are all working for a common goal. There

38:09 is a requirement. Ok. You know in the house some time there is a time to eat. Weather you are hungry or not please come and eat. This was the rule in our house. At least we all will sit together, we will talk together, we will have some time together. It doesn't matter what you want and what you don't want. This is the way the house is. Leave your studies, leave everything and come back on the table. Let us talk on a common topic. Which we all like. Merge your self together. A person who is not merging with travelling a lot. He is not a part of the system. He is not able to understand that we are separating from here. I am not contributing. Every

38:58 small organ is a part of the whole body. To explain this we will have dhanush bhang prasad. And I hope you have Ramcharitmanas with you. So please bring it tomorrow. He said the pens are not coming. [Laughter] You are coming, if you are coming, please bring them, there are very beautiful couplets, you will get a lot of insight, people ask us, Swami Ji, you will not go there, we said, we will try to

39:45 keep your resolve, when will you come again, we do not have any resolve. You have no wishes. No desire at all. Both of them have no desire to come or not. Neither do they have any desire to come nor any desire to come. Let's see what wave of God is there. I will go wherever he takes me. If he does n't take me then I will be sitting somewhere. We will eat salad etc. I will eat some fruits. Life is a discovery and an egoless person. It's a true chain for egoistic persons.

40:32 Every egoistic person does not discover anything. Is it not fresh in thinking. You are egoless, give something, something more I learned. Something more I saw today. Because I allow the God to express. Now this is from Balakand, the episode of breaking the bow. So let us come to Lord Ram. This is in Balkand and you can see after 205 205 after Balkand. If not the book, then please bring something tomorrow. If you don't feel like it then don't bring it. We are not forcing you. A

41:18 person said to me, Swami, I do not feel like selling books. We said why? He said, I like just looking at you. We said okay. You listen. Whatever you are, listen to this, it doesn't matter. Dhanush bhang is later on. You must have heard the name of Vishwamitra before the breaking of the bow and Vishwamitra ji felt that if we perform yagya then demons come. Which demons come? Maricha was among the Taraka and Subahu. There were others too. He was a very

42:05 great person, he thought that we cannot do it, see what is written 205 plus five, the fifth chaupayi is Gadi Tanay Man Chinta Vyaapi, you have got it, you can underline it, bring some pen, we will study it well, Gandhi Tanay Man Chinta Vyaapi, without Hari I cannot die, evil sinner, then what did the sage, bar mind think, the poor Lord incarnates, Haran Mahihu,

42:50 see the feet, go and request, bring me two brothers, he got worried, what was Vishwamitra ji worried, keep adding topics, the bow is yet to be broken, ego comes in four ways, we will show you, he felt that without God, all these demons would not have died, these are very good weapons, this will teach God, the weapons which he tells to God, he could do it himself. When Ravana was there at that time, Parshuram ji was there,

43:38 Dashrath ji was there, Vishwamitra was there. One who was sufficient to kill Ravana was Bali. There were many great people, none less. The Kshatriyas were killed 21 times. Who? Parshuram ji did. It was Vishwamitra. Vasishtha himself had a hidden power. No one could kill Ravana. I got it yes what's the problem? Do n't feel bad next time. Now they have got it.

44:23 Goodness is a very good friend of ego. So say I am good. Why do I need God? I am very good. I don't cheat anybody. I speak the truth. I am a normal person. I am honest. I love all. Why do I need God? Let me tell you. He said, I wake up every morning Swamiji, what time is it? 4:05 4 ok after that after waking up at 4:00

45:09 we do exercise, Surya Namaskar, Chandra Namaskar, Tara Namaskar, all the Namaskars, which Namaskar is this, oh brother you don't know friend, after that we do meditation, well we never miss it, we observe Ekadashi fast, we observe fast for Pardosh, not Pradosh, Pardosh

45:55 never leaves, we don't take onion at all, onion and garlic does not work for us, even in non veg we put onion and garlic only, well we never always give donation, first of all we give donation, how much do we give, we give in such a way that a sound comes in the donation box, you understand, if

46:40 God knows then someone has come, someone has put a big note, there is no sound at all. Yes, very good. Yes. I have taught the children, made them read and write, and brought them up, by pulling them together. Goodness is dangerous, sir. The one who woke up late in the morning was better than him. At least the poor guy remains in guilt. He thought you wake up in the morning. That poor guy will feel guilty. Do you wake up at 4 in the morning ? I get up. He will never ask when and at what time do the poor fellows wake up? Hey, we are

47:26 late every day. 6:30 goes to 7:00. It gets late at night. friend would you get up? Yes. Yes. You are fasting yes. Hare said yes. Now this person sat himself on top. Goodness alone is dangerous. We despise the other. After that let's compete. To the other, I make him aware. Hey man, he is nothing.

48:12 You eat this, you eat onion, you eat this, you eat that, we don't eat it. All of these were more than one person. There was a common problem in all of them. There goodness was with ego. And there for very significant word is Hari binu death is certain. Unless God comes and you surrender goodness we wake up in the morning but by God's grace we realize that a day will come when we will not be able to get up, write this down also, we observe a fast for ourselves, not today, one day will come, I will not be able to do it, we will not

48:58 take so much medicine, we recite Ramayana everyday, a day will come when our eyes will not work and there will be illness. No one is speaking. Is n't that right? Yes. This is very God required. I will become hum after being goodbye. Somebody Else's Making Me Do Today. If I could give charity. God has given us so much that we can give something today. If I could do service, at least our hands and legs were fine then we could have done something today

49:44 and there for Vishwamitra ji, he underlined this as Hari binu marh hi na, certainly people did not kill Ravana, Bali put Ravana in his armpit and walked, what was him to walk, you saw him killed, he had to be shown to everyone. You have to show off your ego a bit, then it's fun. It was a trophy. [laughter] Our fasts become our trophies. Waking up in the morning would become our trophy. You

50:31 understand that the trophy is for everyone. No Toffee, Toffee said listen carefully Hari Binu my feces are definitely a sinner and will perform yagya only then will he attack more, all these yagya means you are doing goodness, complete the Rishi Hit Ram Suket Suta, including Sen Sutkin three, rest Goswami ji says, including Dosh Dukh Das Duraasha, said this Taraka this Duraasha, where you did goodness, the moment you do something

51:19 good slowly one of your Asha will come, someone's name, don't worry, this name Asha is very common but this is Duraasha, he said, I wake up in the morning. Nobody is getting up. Swami ji, everyone in our family is nocturnal. No one wakes up in the morning. We told our son so many times to organize satsang that Swamiji should come from somewhere. They had come earlier and then they came back. Write how much I told him, come on come on, let's not

52:08 learn, go and listen to the Ramayana, ignorant people talk about knowledge, the poor guy gets very frustrated with you, mummy, then you started, I did not know I know everything, I hope only once, vote of thanks was given somewhere, not here, not here, now you have forgotten someone's name while giving the name, I don't know whose name you should forget, brother, firstly there is audience in front so half of it would have been forgotten earlier,

52:55 now the one whose name I forgot, he said, see Swami, when there was a need, he came to us. Deliberately they have said that it may have happened by mistake, he apologised. They did not say anything and I came once and the person who gave me a big thank you said that no one said thanks on our behalf. I said if you get peace like this then it will lead to Anavastha Dosh, this is Durshasa, Swami ji, please understand, Swami ji is Maryasha,

53:45 any good goodness wants appreciation slowly my goodness appears obsession to others, read the Gita, read, hey brother stay calm, no we are giving it to you, we are giving it to you for free, you can take it, sometimes a person becomes obsessed, he will start the same thing with every person, the other person is not ready for this much for us. They want to see love through my actions, through my words rather than through books. Sometimes, a strange personality develops. Do

54:30 you do yoga? do it. Don't you eat sprouts ? No. We will send you sprouts. Hey brother, leave the sprouts. No, eat it every day. Daily. I am soaking this much mung at night. Take it first thing in the morning and yes and what is that thing called ? No no fenugreek seeds fenugreek seeds you can take on an empty stomach oh how many things take on an empty stomach everything on an empty stomach say black seeds take on an empty stomach this fenugreek

55:18 seeds on an empty stomach take on just one stomach you have suffered because you wanted something if you are not doing that goodness you would not have expected too much and there for we need Ishwar Ishwar here when Ishwar is there I don't want anything god should become happy just at one place in Bhagwat it comes jadavat mukhavat acharit the person should act as does not know anything mukhavat jadat

56:09 acharya when Ishwar comes then there is some gratefulness is there and you leave the issue said god understand that is I don't want others to understand me the joy that I wanted I get from my puja from my [ __ ] from my devotion from my surrender I don't want anything else to actually then I will be happy I am very happy here and Now only have you seen that goodness is dangerous, without God you will become a little accentuated and imposing

56:57 person, people say, explain to him, there is no need to explain anything to him, if he comes then he will come to the class, why will he come, we can give him love, he does not want to listen. No, give him the book. He had brought it. Now Vishwamitra ji is gone. I am summarizing I have to come to dhanush bhang. This is just a reference that's going on. We will build the topic. If you are enjoying supposing you feel that God has sent me here today. God sent us today, there is

57:45 demand for innovation here. You listened to the satsang, if someone listens to it at home then probably you will tell him that I said this but Joy that you wanted, you got it, you don't need that I somebody should say that brother you had gone to listen to the satsang. I do n't need to tell you. We are happy. He said, you are very nice. Why? You go to listen to satsang. I don't need this I am happy without you are telling me because the joy already got it | I am already happy. You don't talk to me, I met an Amma in Sakruj, she said, Swamiji, I am Brahma. I know that no one appreciates it, everybody at home gets so angry, I told

58:34 them that I am Brahma, brother, if you understand then I feel so sad being Brahma that they do not understand that I am Brahma. Now tell me what should I say? Now if there is begging, then we can't even say anything. Our alms will also be taken away. So we spoke to you. If your glasses are new, then you will repeatedly think that there is itching from somewhere here, just set it again and again, just take it off again and again, if it has not gone into you, if ever you sleep with the glasses on, so that you can

59:20 see the dream clearly, then you are asleep, when goodness has not gone into you, it has not become you are aware of it. And what you are over aware of is it. Over conscious of it. You want others also should be aware of that. When it is my nature. You don't want anything else. We found it. I did my chant and we got what we wanted. Please don't tell us what to chant. With saints, it is not even known what they chant or what they worship. Such secrets are not known at all. Expectation Means No is

1:00:08 a different way of living in the world. You find out who can give how much. If you can give this much then ask for only this much. Come on, I can't give it. It can't give that much. Why? Its nature is like this. This is how it is, this model in itself. Why are we asking for so much from someone who can give so much ? He said you didn't even give me this much and lower your expectations. He said, I am tired of calling him but he does n't come to the satsang. He came, yes he came very angry, listen, where did you die yesterday? Now that you are alive, how much did you earn yesterday? He can't come. His time will come on its own. Same he will also wait,

1:00:57 we have mind, intellect, chitta, ego in four ways, ego gets expressed in mind, expectations, inertia in intellect and not to give up on our point in ego and not to be drawn towards God in the mind and all these things will be taken care of by Lord Ram in this journey to Janakpuri. What's the problem? This is the problem. The soul is different and love is different. Sita is different, Ram is different. If love is something then it is someone other than self for God. You will have to travel. Why? You will not get that response.

1:01:43 Hi. You have travelled from somebody because you did not get the response as you want other than God and self nobody will give the response that you want any loving mind this world will not give you the response the people won't give you the response all the time for some times somebody will give some response but all the time getting all the responses we did not get it, if you got it then tell me the

1:02:31 world is not meant to love separately from God till the time Ram ji does not meet Sita ji, till the bow does not break, there will be no peace which is the separation of Ram and Sita. That is a cause of problem in our life. The soul is different , love is different. Sita ji is the manifested love of Lord Ram. Sita ji is thirsty for Lord Ram. Sita ji is with Lord Ram. There is no self for that. Self is there and world is there. This divorce is there. And because of these four factors. Mind, intellect, conscience, ego.

1:03:24 This is what has to be removed. we speak again we speak again. There is hopelessness in the mind and inertia in the intellect. One has to hold on to one's point in ego. Every arrogant person will be stubborn. It will not move like a bow. I said it so I said let's go out for a bit. Otherwise no, not for a while, otherwise no. Time breaks such people. It will be broken.

1:04:12 He does not pull the mind, God, this will be devoted in all this, only five days are left, today's day is over, thank you, all the days will pass, he is facing a lot of trouble, now Vishwamitra ji comes, let me read one or two lines because very beautiful couplets, although this is not the main topic, to come to the main topic, let's quickly see one or two lines, Muniyaagaman

1:04:57 [Music] Aa 206, I found Muni's arrival, I heard, when the king went to meet the Brahmin community, he bowed down to the Muni, the son sat on his seat, Niyani recites two couplets, then he saw the feet of the fair Ram, the Muni was engrossed in

1:05:42 looking at the beauty of his face, as if a Chakor Puran [Music] Vishwamitra ji comes, where all does he come, not in Gurgaon, Vishwamitra ji comes to Janakpuri, oh Ayodhya brother, you left very early. Wait wait not so fast. He bowed down in respect. Who? Vishwamitra said, not Dasharatha but oh sorry he bowed down to the sage with respect.

1:06:28 After Dashrath ji paid his respects. If all his four sons go to his feet, then what do they say, yes, it is good to bow down to him, yes, and somewhere else, bow down, yes, yes, Marwaris say more, yes, bow down, yes, come on, that child will be a small child, he will also remain quiet. they showed. Vishwamitra saw everyone but his eyes got fixed at one place, he became a little frightened and engrossed in looking at the beautiful face.

1:07:18 Found it. Jan Chakor Pooran Shashi Lobha, you should also see her beautiful big eyes. His long hair, a slight smile on his face, humility on his face, total humility, eyes down, hands folded, looking at him one feels that it would be so good if he becomes our disciple, it can also seem that this should never happen, he is a big troublemaker, so then the mind gets upset and

1:08:06 says, hey Guru ji, some kidnapper will kidnap someone, he called up the person who had a child and asked, brother how much money do you have, then the person who had the child said no, you take one or two lakhs more and keep him, then I am saying these words with joy in my heart. Was very happy. Big now you should have a practice of seeing someone Lord. So that our heart should become quiet. One who gives you so much. This God loved you so much. Is there anyone who says that God did not give it.

1:08:54 We are sitting today. Is it not proved that God has not given you, he has given so much, with so much love, he has forgiven so many times, he forgives as he gives us knowledge, he gave us good days, he gave us nice parent, he gave so many things, you will not be fascinated by seeing him, don't think you have come to satsang, he has created a situation that he pulled you, he has brought Gurudev, so that he can put you, he did not

1:09:41 know who is the guru, who is Gurudev, who is the mission, we do not know anything, what is Geeta, what is Ramayana, we go blank and quietly come away, if you are coming here because in the house it is fine. You don't have issues with the body of the money of the job. You are free to come. Please appreciate it a little. You are not even appreciating. The meaning of love is to appreciate. We just say what is not there. Appreciate them. He became very happy after seeing God, remember if you are happy seeing some God, that means you already had an

1:10:27 impression about him, he must have thought then only you are happy supposing you are happy seeing me supposing it is not compulsory, just telling you that first you will have to see what to do, you are seeing if you have become happy after seeing me. Meaning, you might have heard about us somewhere or seen us or you might have heard the Ramayana. If you hear or see something completely bland for the first time then you will not be happy. So you might have seen us for the first time or heard us for the first time. He said, okay this is it. What is his/her name? Well okay let's get the balcony work done.

1:11:20 Why are they like this? But you will have the impression that I feel happy just by hearing the name of Gurudev. Still happy even after so many years. He said to Dashrath ji, I want to tell you something, I have come to ask for it. He said, you can ask for as much as you want. Learn this with Dashrath ji. They give up very quickly. I said, ask for it. Ask for whatever you say. Dev Raghunatha along with Anuj.

1:12:06 Nischichar Badab [Music] Sanatha. what did you say? Give it to Ram ji along with Laxman ji. Now after reading Valmiki Ramayana, the sweat that started coming out of him dried up the camel. Whose? Dashrath ji said let's sit somewhere. He should sit down and say what am I, look it is written, heart less face Duti Kumlani, fourth time I did not say this, I did not say like this, fourth time Papa

1:12:53 Chachari Vipra Bachchan I do not have the courage to do this, look at that he scolded me and said that you did not speak after thinking, you said, you can ask for something, I cannot live without Ram. Ram gives, Ram does not give, Gosai. We will go by someone else's name. These poor guys are

1:13:40 very small. Now Valmiki Narayan said that he has no experience of 15 years. They are all big demons. This 15 year old doesn't even have a proper moustache. Look at someone everyday, you would get a lot of happiness from someone, if you had met Ram ji as many times as you used to, any time he would have offered his obeisance to Father, any time, father, what should we do for you, how should we go, someone would have given you a lot of happiness with their words,

1:14:30 someone would have given you happiness with their modesty. How did he get this eye? Are you understanding? Love means we will suffer without you. I said, if you love God, then you miss him a lot. The day when you could not remember or say that you could not remember well today. All love is based on pain.

1:15:18 Vishram ji got very angry and then scolded him a lot, President ji's day was not good, Vashish ji has come, we are cutting short our time is all over, we have one or two more minutes, then he said for Aarti, Dasharath said take me. He said listen, then he said we will send all three brothers. He said, listen. He said, don't take Ram away. I

1:16:04 became absolutely crazy. Started falling. I told you to listen, then listen. Sorry. Please listen to what he says. King, you had no son. It was this yagya that saved me. You are being done today. Today you will not go to that yagya which faced trouble. He was very humble. You should read Valmiki Ramayana just as Vashistha ji said it once. Tears from the eyes

1:16:54 When does anyone become happy with you When someone fulfills his difficult wish, you take some hardship and learn some work Jhumki ji got happy and said look Dashrath, everyone will prosper, in the south welfare means marriage also happens, yes you will win we are taking two, we will bring eight Ram ji, Ram ji came

1:17:42 now said he left, no students will stay with us, we will go together, we will not live like a king now this is going with whom Ram ji, with Dashrath ji, with Vishwamitra ji now God came with goodness said Taraka is one great life Hari Leena Mara, he saw Tadka like this I think when does surrender come when you feel that God has done some big work for me,

1:18:35 if God has not done any big work for you or has not given you any big thing, then you do not lose expectations from the world. Love happens only when someone has done some work for us. You may have done some difficult work. It is not possible that no work is done at all. Let's fall in love. We will love Guruji only if he has done something for us. He took the same respect and life, who saw Vishwamitra, who saw

1:19:32 Ram ji, he held his hand, I am his Guru. Do n't forget the role. Yes then Rishi Rishi should not live his life Chinese. Recognize the Chinese meaning. To recognize means to have seen it somewhere and recognized it. Knowing is different from recognizing. It meant somewhere. We had heard God a little bit. Did you recognize me today? Are these mine? The feeling of

1:20:18 belongingness comes only when someone saves you a lot. Gave me something big. Expectations are gone, why are we so happy, why should we ask anyone, some millionaire would expect someone to give us ₹10, we have the happiness of such a great God, the happiness of chanting and he has given it, we did not take it, he gave it to us, he gave us the happiness of worship, he gave us the happiness of meditation, we do not need anything from anyone, the

1:21:07 boy died, he died, the mind became calm, Vishwamitra's yajna was performed, now the yajna is being performed without any disturbance, it's time for us, let's see tomorrow, you will come tomorrow, we will call God and we will quickly reach the yagyashala, the yajnashala with the bow, now find out what has increased, we will perform aarti tomorrow morning class 7:30 7:30 Morning Classes from 7:30 on Meditation What Why How We will see Aarti Aarti
