9:46 Siyabar Ramchandra Lord, Hail Pawansat Hanuman, Hail Umapati Mahadev, Say brothers, Hail all the saints, Hail Shri Sadgurunath Maharaj, Namah Parvati pate Har Har Mahadev Hari Om Hari Om Hari Om Tulsidas ji says one line Collection cannot be recognized without sacrifice

10:33 Collection Without recognizing the sacrifice, we take or leave something; we take and leave it only when we recognize it. If we do not recognize something properly, then it is not possible to decide properly whether we take it or leave it. Like we said, there is a mantra. If we do not know that mantra, what works does the mantra do. What is the power of mantra

11:19 ? And we kept talking about it for a long time, what the mantra gives. Once you recognize it, you will want to collect it. I said, brother, please recite this particular lesson. If you recite Vishnu Sahasranaam, then recite Vishnu Sahasranaam. When you recognize it, you will feel that we will never leave it. Because you probably saw his power. Whatever mantra or text it is, it

12:06 starts working on your destiny. Whatever defective areas there are in our destiny, perhaps our destiny is not right in some aspect of our life. No, it's okay. Meaning, there is an area where we have a lot of concern. It troubles me a lot. One has to pay attention. Destiny is not good. Meaning, we have to pay a lot of attention to it. Its source is attention seeking area. Maybe it could be health , son, father , servant , husband-wife, people. We say

12:54 this area has taken quite attention in my life. We will tell you, brother, please recite Vishnu Sahasranaam. Or recite Sunderkand or you can recite Saptashati. He asked, how much do I want to do? Start with one. He said, assume that it doesn't have any effect. Increase the dose. Do two. Karmatri Ji Maharaj used to say that some very bad destiny may come. And if you cannot handle it at all then recite Sunderkand 11 times,

13:47 not in a year, but continuously in one day, recite Sunderkand 11 times a day, until it gets cured, at least on Sundays and Saturdays, we can take out two days, be it work or a householder, there are constraints in the house, and we told you, let us try all this, that is why our devotion has increased a lot in all things, we will often tell you, brother, you should do jaap, you should do paath daily, you should do puja

14:34 because we have seen a lot of change in our life, when you will see that change, because there is a shloka, tribhar varsh hi tribhar maas tribh div ati utkat punya paap phalam yahate bode, if there is intense deed, then its result comes in three years, three months or three days. We call that VIP karma. Like if there is a VIP car, it stops the other one before coming. So why should we say, brother, chant this or that mantra

15:21 ? You should try it. Do not give up collecting without recognizing it. Unless you recognize it, you will not have any desire to collect it. In the same way we came to know, brother, what is the nature of attachment? Identify. Now you analyze your attachment to it. Remember analysis means separating. Shlesh means to join, Vishnaysh means to separate. I said, look brother, a person gets blocked due to attachment, take that person.

16:09 Because that tendency comes again and again. Where from ? How it is? What did he say? Pay attention to us. So when you get to know that, this attitude caused us great pain. You will get scared automatically, you say about Jad Bharat that when he turned into a deer, he remembered it, this is called Jaat Smar, many people used to remember their previous life, they remembered due to which wave we became deer, how we got attached to a deer, so when he was born, the first thing he did was to leave his mother in the form of a deer, he was so scared of the attachment. He left everything and

16:55 lived somewhere far away and used to sit in the water. So that no one comes near me. Because he recognized where attachment can lead. So, everything that is being shown before you, sometimes youth, sometimes childhood, sometimes physical attachment between a man and a woman, is to be recognized that this is him, either he will leave you or you will leave him, this one will leave you after giving you pain, if you leave him, you will leave him with freedom. There

17:45 is an Upanishad, Count Upanishad. So there comes a mantra Anyana Dev Tad Vidhitaat Avidita Adhi Bole which is different from the world known and is also different from the unknown. So Shankaracharya wrote a very beautiful commentary there. You should read what he said, for this world which is called Vidit, he used a word ' Hey Heym Worth Living'. When we read it for the first time, we were shocked and asked what does it mean, you suddenly said it, it is

18:32 not that you have to leave this world, you should stay in that world itself, but the affection and expectation that we have for it, the way we have connected ourselves with it, then whoever you connect with, it gets a lot of capacity to give happiness and sorrow. We are not connected with that, then how we have to behave with that, if we do not grasp the practical truth, then the spiritual truth will not be grasped, the practical truth is that this world is not made for your happiness,

19:18 serve yourself, attain detachment from it, reduce your ego, what else can you do in this world, increase brotherly devotion, learn from others, let us say this, to learn a lot, one has to learn something or the other everyday but it is not made for your happiness, this world is definitely made to make you mature, it is definitely made to make us mature. Maturity means to make our self

20:06 mature ripen. The mirror is made to show you that look, this is how you are. You will also get to know about it in between. We did not know that we had such a thing inside us. Sometimes you will experience that after knowing the goodness, you will also know the badness. Someone heard the Bhagwat and said, look, I did not know that I too love Lord Krishna. We like such a good Bhagavat all at once. So whatever situation comes, it shows you like a mirror,

20:53 telling you both your virtues and defects. Sometimes it comes out that where did such things come from in us, I used to think that I was very simple, there was no anger, lust, jealousy etc. in me, now I felt that there is a storehouse of it, now I am getting to know about it, and God is a teaser, he shows everything in a teasing manner, whatever thing we need very desperately, he does it in such a way that he keeps it with whoever has it [laughs] he

21:45 teased Arjun so much, Arjun said that he installed such a chariot, Savyam Asmin, with whom do we have to fight in the battlefield, if he had made him stand in front of Karna, he would have been more inspired, Bhishma Drona, chieftain Sarvesha cha Mahatam Pashyap Samvetan Kurti said, now look at him, what about Bhishma Drona, and he was from UP, so he even ate paan. People from UP are here. Where have the people from UP gone ? There are many people here. Look, there are people from Lucknow too. Some of them are from Kanpur. Where have you been here? You people don't eat paan. Yes, I

22:32 don't eat paan. How are the people of UP? [laughter] Okay. To offer to god. Yes. Even in the South, people eat paan. People take paan in the South too. I told you so much because we do not think that when we will give birth, well, such is the childhood. This is the situation. The sooner I get leave from this the better. Without giving up the collection I cannot recognize it. Let us move ahead. Now we're getting older

23:21 [laughs]. Let us tell you a few things before you grow old. First of all, please do not feel offended by anything said by Lord Shri Ram. They are our mother, father and teacher. He has the right to say anything and scold. Because he has given everything. So we will speak crooked things, we will scold a little bit, and secondly, all of us are either old or are going to become old. In five to seven years, even those with black hair will turn white.

24:10 You may keep dyeing etc. but those hairs, for how long [laughs] what do you say, [praise] the goat's mother, for how long will you keep praying for the goat's mother, then your hair will also be black and white, your face will also be like that. So this is how God has depicted him in old age, let me tell you one more thing. There are two ways in which people grow

24:55 old. In a rough manner. There are some people whose age is increasing , they have become old and the RDC keeps on increasing in their mind. Reaction demand, complaint. RDC reaction demand complaint means it has increased because in old age you have been put in salute, the system does not value you much, our char is over, earlier we used to do all the

25:42 work, in just one char, he is neither good at speaking your will, nor good to look at, nor fit for work, there is not much attraction left, so talking to him frustrates him because emotions and their expression is not there, he gets depressed, secondly, the old age comes, just listen, these people first start getting satsang due to some good deed, when they were 30, 40 years old, when they turned 50, they prepared themselves a bit, they prepared themselves through JPP.

26:28 When there was puja, recitation, meditation and satsang, he prepared himself. What did these people do? He has adjusted his schedule in such a way that as he grows old, he already does not have time for his meditation and prayer. For them, old is gold probably. We hope that you people belong to this category because you have come. He made himself such that when he reached the threshold of 70,

27:13 he had sufficient things. So their connection with the world has already become very weak. They don't feel very connected everywhere. They don't want to connect. Because they have become somewhat averse to religion and they have listened to a lot of satsang, so one thing came to their mind that they are prepared to not be talked to, they are prepared, my child is going, they are prepared, their RDC is almost nil, their RDC or reaction has changed to realization, demand has changed to devotion and complaint has changed to

27:59 compassion and commonness, their RDC has become high class. Reaction has change to realization. Demand has change to despise and complaint has change to compassion and kindness. This is cool. We have seen many such old people. It feels good. It feels very good. Their age is an asset as it looks good even when the sun sets. Gurudev had a line: Age Gracefully. So there is a lot of grace visible in his aging. Like there was Three Years for Youngsters.

28:44 Their 3G is for old. God Gru and Grace. Let us occupy our life. God Guru and Grace Withdra start happening automatically. He will be locked in a room and will stay there for four hours each day. Somewhere we will sit in a temple, somewhere we will sit in a pilgrimage place, we will stay in a satsang. So at this age, one gets a glimpse of what it is called God's grace. Looks like the man has learned a lot from before. But there is a risk. Let us see what God says here. So that we do not become old in the future, now whenever the age

29:30 comes we will have to become old. One has to grow old and all the things will come with it. What all comes? Let's see. This is the 22nd canto. Found the first verse on page 69. Shri Ram vac apadavam hi balatvam balaat yavanam yavanam cha jara aparish pashya karte himashne viram bhujam vateva sharadam deh jara nasayati river ti tarudha dilapidated sarvangi jara jar thupani virupata dev yatha

30:19 shishil di jara jirna kalevaram sama pasyati kaminya purusham karma ya bole childhood was not over yet and youth came and it ate childhood, well and in the same way now we Was not satisfied even with youth. Old age came and Yavanam Pipati drank up the youth. Tell me Yavanam Balt, I was trying to

31:05 go away. We postponed it a lot because people said that age will be slow. You eat salad. [Laughter] If you eat all these salads, greens, etc., your aging will slow down. Your skin will remain tight. There's cucumber, there's broccoli, and there's lettuce. Eat all this. If you eat too much fried food etc. then your aging will happen faster. All this but whatever he did, he forcefully made us drink the youth, ok brother what else did you do, you said not only this, after a while the Yavanam cha, pashya

31:53 karakashta, ok this big karakashta is very cruel, this is whose phone is ringing, no one even knows, it gets switched off. it is too hard. Just look at this karaktam, means it is hard. It is hard. Why are you saying this? It is hard. Why are you saying this? Because like the second line, like you know, if snow falls on the lotus then the lotus gets destroyed, similarly this, vupataam deham jara nasati, has ruined

32:39 our body, well yes it has ruined the body, what should we do brother, well well well, river banks, trees, and it has ruined the body, what all has it done brother? Hey, what didn't you do? The surgery has destroyed all my body parts. There is no problem with skinny. Bone problems, muscle problems, muscles have become loose, skin has become loose, lungs have problems, stomach has become weak, kidneys have become damaged, everything. See. Jarjari krit Sarvangi Jara Jarath

33:24 Rupani ok yes it is Jarath Rupani, this is what he said, Viupatam Nayati said my look was quite good, it has ruined it, I was quite good looking, Viupatam Nayati Ashu quickly it ruined the look, a stain came here, it happened here like this, what was there is not there now, the veins on the face have started showing. What was once a great, full body, something is going wrong somewhere. So vupataam nayati ashu as if someone has put poison in the food. As if poisonous snakes had

34:10 put poison in our body, everything of ours was lost. Shishaala Di, Sarvangi, well, everything has become loose [laughs], we are not saying anything outright, you keep looking at your book, you will feel that your teeth start loosening on their own [laughs]. What will happen to us, our teeth are gone, the doctor treated them, you know, he put seven crowns, he put so many

34:56 dental problems, seven crowns, he said what will happen next [laughter] so shhila di sarvangi jara jeeran kalevaram, well yes, he said what Ram ji says, the young ladies look at them like donkeys. You see, Samam Pashyati Kama Purusham Karmabham Yatha Karma means donkey, it

35:44 seems Lord Rama also had a sense of humor. God you are beating me well. Spontaneously Kadarya said, it is written, she gives humility, he said brother does not ask me anything, brother sahib does not talk to me at all, he just lies alone in the room, everyone had gone out today, he did not take me for an outing, ok yes so

36:31 listen, he said wisdom what gachhati fifth shloka, see, their intelligence is lost, on coming of youth, intelligence is lost, just like on the arrival of the wife, the concubine runs away, we, you see, all the wives and the hatanga do not have intelligence, because it is not made, I had told you two categories, the first category were the pleasure-seekers, children, grand-son, these went away, those went away, as the age increases,

37:19 responsibilities increase, attachment increases then intelligence is lost, earlier we were attached only to the children, now we have become the grand-son, then the third one came, then he is growing, I have to stay with him. Now we are going for Baby Singh, he has lost his intelligence. Brother number of resiliencies as you grow increases. Because there are more people in your family than 20 years back. And then we identify everywhere. And we are getting older. We do not respond so fast,

38:06 actually there was a time when I was very smart, you know, spontaneity response intelligence, I used to answer quickly, what is this, now that spontaneity does not exist, we are still the same. Listen and listen. Sixth verse: Dasah Putrah Striyascha Bandhwa. He said, we have servants, we have sons, we have wives. Bandhav you can see the laughter, we are not saying anything from our side.

38:52 Lord Ram himself said everything. He said, I am laughing. Because I can't hear it. He asked brother where is the boy? He said the boy is a BA. He said he has drunk. Why are you getting married? The boy is drunk. He said whether he has drunk or not. He said, why are you shouting, don't you listen ? Well, these people listen to things that matter. Those who have difficulty in hearing. If you speak ill of him, he will hear it immediately, he laughs

39:43 madly, these people laugh like mad, soft war, Varkam Pitam like the mad one who laughs after seeing someone, ok and listen to what he said to you, Ram Ram Ji has said such a thing. We do not say in every verse that poverty is the fault of deepagha riddhi daha pradayini, we say poverty becomes faulty. He said that he did not even give me the food that I had cooked. Nobody even asks. Whenever we went to this office, everyone would stand there. Now go, they are not letting us come. They are not allowing me to enter that office. Hey, you have retired so you can't come. This world is like this. It has been

40:30 two days since my son has not even spoken to me. You are understanding the humility, right? The desire is very intense and nothing is happening to the external circumstances. Nobody is giving it to you. The attention you want , the love you want, the importance you want, he has turned you down. As long as brother and wife and husband exist, they keep supporting each other. Yes, the old man and woman keep giving me this. How long will we keep each other company? The children have school and college, he

41:15 left everything and went away. That's all. He is busy in his own work. This is his business. There is a meeting. Now he is lying alone in the room. When there is no habit, there is no habit of satsang. What should we do now? Then I will stay in RDC. Poverty is not a fault. You will keep looking at what he has depicted. And what does this do ? The heart keeps burning. Look, we were there when we needed you. We are the ones who made them study. We are the ones who taught him. We are the ones who raised the money. He doesn't give it to us. My own son is like this. it is. ok brother no problem. What else do you want to say

42:02 ? Every calamity becomes better with one friend. He said, this old age is the friend of all difficulties. The most severe disaster is a friend, sometimes he fell in the bathroom, sometimes he was going, I didn't see him, sometimes any news came because the more you live, the more news of deaths you will hear, why our uncle who is no more, then first you will hear about the previous generation, in childhood you used to hear about grandfather's generation, then around 40-50 your generation, then you will hear about your own.

42:49 He who was our cousin brother is no more. Then you ask how did the death occur? That's why I ask whether we have any problem. He told Sir to eat whatever food he had and after that he felt severe pain. So the doctor seems to be having a heart attack. He said it had happened before. You all investigate to find out whether all this is happening with us or not. Then again you will feel a very close relation like the mangoes falling drop by drop from the tree here. Anyway, people around us will keep falling. Vairagya century Bharat Hari says. When the sea

43:35 water comes it knocks down a tree. The tree next to it thinks that it may happen that tomorrow seeing our gardener coming the buds call out and pick the flowers, our time gets scared of this. Poverty goes away. Many people will spend time with the doctor. Then the increasing amount of mercury is increasing, underline it. Attachment increases in old age because you become insecure. These people will say a lot to keep the door closed.

44:20 Every old man keeps getting the door closed again and again. Is the door closed or not? Stop him. Hey brother, you guys must have seen it. Is. Okay brother, and if we move ahead then listen bhaiya, how much Ram ji describes this and see the third 11th shloka, page 70, Katham Kada, kim swad syat bhojanam janaaj jat cheto vike, when he sees others then

45:11 what does he say, see in Katham Kada, Swadu says, when will you mix tasty food, he says it is cooked [laughter], put chutney in it [laughter]. Grind the chillies and add the green chillies. Look what is written. I am telling you everything that I have seen with my own eyes. Yes? did not come. No, he is asking,

45:59 look at the relevant verse. How much is his lust? Seeing everyone he asks if food can be got from somewhere else? I didn't say grind your teeth and give it to you. This is what I had prepared. I had prepared for this only. Well, when people know that they expect a lot, they want a lot to eat, they demand a lot. Say it very frequently. The respect they have for us goes down. They will again go to each other. He said that he keeps asking for something or the other all the time. My stomach is not well. It doesn't work. He is asking for it again. How can we give them these saffron clothes? He said brother, don't bring anything, just give me what I am asking for.

46:45 Otherwise, they will keep saying something or the other. It is given to us to keep us quiet. My tongue has become greedy, listen to what is written. Iti Ajasam Jara Chash Cheto Ajas means continuously Ajam Hey, it was still lunch, he said no, the weather is like this. [Laughter] [Praise] And listen what is written, the war is such that the house has become abati so las upabhangate na shakyate, it is written that there is a lot of desire but there is no capacity of the

47:33 body to eat, I want to go to every wedding, to jump and dance, to go on stage, four people said hold on, hold on, hold my hand, come, come, keep holding on brother, you hold on, come, he climbed up, that compera is sleeping like this, he said take a photo brother with him, I am telling you the truth, this will be the condition of us also if there are no bhajans.

48:18 Who do you neglect? Whom? What he was supposed to do is not done. And if I am suppose to do this. So you are putting on with that person. Then you think that children have a duty, so what should they do ? Duty is there anyway. After all he is my father. It is our duty. You are saying a lot like we are fulfilling our responsibilities, if we do n't do it then who will serve them, it means we become a liability, every person who does not do what he has to do, is a liability for others, even a wife who does not do her duty as a husband is a liability for the husband, if the student does not do his duty for the teacher, the student is a liability for the teacher,

49:03 this becomes a liability for the teacher, now listen more, ok give me strength, that even now the heart is burning, keep watching RDC, we move ahead, ok now what is written, second shloka 14th dekho taagat sridrishte [music] timi maran Kaushik, then Kaushik went, look, as if owls come seeing the darkness. That's the meaning. Owls come seeing the darkness. Well, yes, death comes after seeing old age.

49:54 Death arrives. ok yes just look at the kusmit deha dhruvam drushvaaye doorat sixth shlok, this is from a distance in the form of old age, ok a fruit in the form of old age has come in the fruit of the body in the tree of the body, just like a monkey runs to take the fruit, similarly the monkey in the form of death runs to see the fruit of old age of this body, that kill it quickly, teacher, vegan, death, marakata, keep watching, the monkey in the form of death attacks, this is a

50:41 yogi, ok brother listen, he said, it is possible that a cut tree may look good, it is possible that a place where no one lives may look good, it is possible that a place where it does not rain may look good, yes but but what not, a decayed body does not look good in old age, this is the 17th shlok, he said everything, oh god, you have spoiled my nature and appearance, ok yes and listen, just a little kshan nigranay said,

51:29 this kshan [ __ ], someone comes to swallow me, nigrana means who comes to swallow me, kas kaniit karan, a word comes, its name is I feel like coughing, I feel like swallowing [MUSIC] I'm getting worse. Well, just like a vulture eats meat, in the same way it eats cough. Why? Hey, my throat starts hurting. The lungs start hurting.

52:16 Excessive coughing while coughing also causes problems. The ribs start hurting. Everybody becomes weak. We are also the same and all the ribs etc. have become weak. The heart has also become weak. My health has also deteriorated. All loose people, when a person is young from inside then all his body parts remain tight and fit like this. As a person's age increases, all these things start hanging. He said, you are saying too much. It has become a bit loose. What we mean is that they got loose. That's why doctors don't operate. He said it is above 80. Brother the operation is risky. The operation is risky. Please let it be. Then they get scared and want to do the operation. I do

53:03 n't know whether it will happen or not. Yes. why sir? Don't sing bhajans. This is what will happen. You were having fun, you were going to Europe, you were going to America, you went to Crew for sightseeing, you went to Lonavala for a 10- day trip, you ate chikkis [laughs] you were attending a wedding there, you did not sing bhajans, now your mind would go everywhere, if you had made it a habit from the beginning that you have to sit for two hours in puja. Do not disturb.

53:50 Once someone asked Swami Akhandananda whether there was any way to increase age ? Listen to his answer. He said, son, do some good deed. Until the good deed is completed, there will be no death. That we have to read Ramayana so many times. Bhagwat Paayan has to be done 100-150 times. So many crore chanting has to be done. We have to give this much circumambulation. We are very happy with ours. We don't want anyone's children. You guys go do your work. Because of your arrival our time for

54:37 sadhana gets wasted. We gave you the cream of our lives, 30 years, 40 years of our earnings, gave you everything. Now let us remain in our meditation and prayer. As you guys are there, you guys wo n't face any problem. Look what it's written [laughs]. What did you say brother, say one more thing. [praise] Let it be. Okay, tell me because we are right there. In five to seven years we too will remain completely the same. Yes,

55:22 see the 22nd verse. The moonlight in the form of old age rises on the mountain shaped like the head of the person sitting on the top of the head. Zindabad [laughter] [praise] just look, just jyotna adi rise head shikhari prishtatha yes,

56:10 when the moonlight rises on the mountain like head [music] [laughter] Ram ji also has a very good age, what happens then [laughter] it is 22nd underline this [laughter]

56:59 what is written at that time vikasayati sanr vaat kaas kumudvati cough-like Kumudni is born Kumudni means lily lily lily means lily the one that plays at night lily, look vikasati sanr va aakash kumudni kumudvati oh my god what will happen then brother matuream samaloky jara vidush rasa sha kumandkam bhate pamsa

57:47 kaaleshwar then time eats up that head, mature says it has ripened as you see, he says it has ripened, look matuream samalo jara shaar Vidham says it is covered with alkali, mature is the head, God would have eaten it up, Kileshwar is God, he is time, eats it up It is good, yes, oh my god, how does he eat it, like Kushmanda, like someone eats a white pumpkin

58:43 [laughs] Lord Rama is also giving such similes. what to do brother? Look now, look at the 26th verse. Kaachit asti jagati asmin inauspicious kar yatha yatha jar angered the body of jungle Jambu ok yes he said there is nothing as inauspicious in this world as an old man, old age this is a jackal, jackal old age is like a jackal, Jambuki is like a jackal, this body

59:28 keeps roaming like a jackal in the jungle, screams a lot, cries out in anger, gets a little angry, oh Ram oh brother I am dead, it is very painful, come and look, it gets angry, body jungle Jam, in the jungle of body it keeps screaming like a jackal, as a jackal screams, it keeps screaming like that, Oh Father,

1:00:16 listen a little more, just Karpoor dhvalam deh karpoor pad mune maran matang nam uddhati kshan, look at the 29th verse, what did you say. What a simile you are giving. Old age is white like camphor. And this body-like banana tree is uprooted by the elephant in the form of death in a moment. Oh my god, are you watching? Just a little camphor white, completely shy, everything has turned white everywhere. The expressions in the eyes are white, the eyelids are white, the hair is white, everything is shining just like camphor

1:01:03 and the elephant in the form of death uproots the banana tree of the body in such a way that it is destroyed in a second, well brother what should we do, he said day and night, sometimes this problem, sometimes that problem, in this way he has given more similes. We want to move forward and death appears. Look, it is written 38 shloka, you see, kimten durjeevite duran jara gagte jeete jara jagatita jana name sarvat tiraskar got, you said

1:01:49 kim jis hettata this vriddha kim te durjeevite dur grakhna said, from such a body which gives such old age, why should we take this, why should we get this body, we have to live just a little bit, we have to live jara jagat ajita, all this Sarvena ends all the desires, tiraskaroti, we have told this, whatever is there, it is all unique. If you want renunciation then read a little occasionally. Please read the Hindi one. If you do

1:02:35 not understand Sanskrit. The Hindi translation is very good. You should read it. Although there are books in English too, but we liked this translation more. Are you watching? It's just coming. It is coming that way, it is not his, it is a different translation but he has elaborated more, he has also said his point somewhere, what we want to say is that we should prepare for it beforehand so that we can be happy that why old age? Because it freed us from everyone.

1:03:22 Our karma has been missed. We are retired. All our children went somewhere and settled down. So that God frees us from all this or keeps us in an ashram with some Mahatma. If that is not possible then we should come at least two or four times a year. If that is also not possible then at least two to four hours or five hours every day at home. If you are 60 years old then at least two hours of silence in a closed room; if you are 65 years old, three hours of silence; if you are 70 years old, five hours of silence; if you are 75 years old, six hours of silence; why because now you are preparing for the next birth, at

1:04:10 least we should get a good body, if we have already done knowledge and all this preparation in this birth. Remember, new habits cannot be formed in old age. You can expand your existing presence. If we do four rosaries then probably we will do six rosaries because we are already in the habit of doing rosaries. If you do Vishnu Sahasrana once, you can do it twice also. He said if we do two in the morning then we can do four also. If you pray for half an hour you would get one, but going from zero to 10 would be difficult. So this is the description of those who are extremely worldly. Aging of the body and aging of the mind

1:04:56 should go together. The mind remains young. The body keeps aging. Old means the mind also settles down. There is no passion or hatred. We are ready to go to God. It should tighten itself a little every day. Saints even say that when you wake up in the morning, write it down in a copy. Today might well be the last day of our lives. It may be the last day of my life.

1:05:43 How will you behave on the last day ? How will you see everyone? How will you view the food? How will you see Yash Yash ? So what did God say? Tasmat Sarveshu Kaleshu Ma Manusmar Yudh. Listen to one thing, as our age increases, the desire of curiosity for love of God should dominate, until we do not develop a desire in our actions, our suffering will not go away. It is

1:06:35 important to recite one chapter of Geeta in daily routine. If you cannot read one, then read 10 verses. It is compulsory for Ramayana whether it is Tulsi Ramayana or Valmiki Ramayana. Read one page. We are not talking to you much. Chanting of your deity Lord Ram and Lord Krishna is compulsory. What will we do? If you get a lot of time, what will we do? How will the time pass? There is a lot of lust. Look, the Brahmacharya Ashram is service oriented and study oriented. The Grahastha Ashram is

1:07:22 based on sacrifices and limited enjoyment. Vanaprastha Ashram is based on penance. And Sanyas Ashram is based on meditation and knowledge. We just can't do too much physical work. Many people get tired while running. Well, people will keep giving you work. I have to tell you brother that this is not much, this is our capacity. Someone else, you, we are preparing them. You give someone else the second line. They are lying behind me. Talking again and again. There is no need. You will have your own room. One of them said in that room, we are, our husbands are not like this, our wives are like this, if you

1:08:09 pray to God, God will create a situation for you, yes, if it is not working out, remember what I say, its frequency will have to be increased, if there is any intense karma, it will have to be diluted more, then do Vishnu Sahasranaam five times, pray a lot, then again we will say this preparation, the day the child used to get married, he used to go to the guru, the marriage used to take place only with the permission of the guru, it is written in the commentary of Taitri Upanishad, so the guru ji said, look son, what is your age, Gurudev said, it is 26 years, 27 years, very good, go and get married,

1:08:54 your marriage is done, increase your family, tell me one thing, when will you come back here, tell me that age or date and remain steadfast on your promise. He said Gurudev, when we turn 55-60 years old, he said, okay write it down, we will not live here but someone else will live here, so whatever amount of work he did, 30 years time was given to you to remove ego and lust, to remove lust of enjoyment, it remained in his mind that we had promised them that the purpose of life is not to die while doing work for the country.

1:09:42 Karma is a good breakfast but bad dinner. It's a good starting point. There is also one big thing. Stay at the pilgrimage site. You should go and do satsang, take bath in Ganga, do puja, have darshan of God. Why? Because now you have five years. Yamraj is coming closer. Precious things should not be thrown away. This is a precious thing. Our age is such that whatever Lord Ram has done here, he has done it for renunciation. He made some very sarcastic remarks,

1:10:29 we had already told you all not to feel bad. And everybody should read it from this perspective that we do not want to become such that our tongue is so sharp that we also need to eat a lot. When we grow old we will take some time. I will eat khichdi and take fruits. As you grow older, you should continue to simplify your habits. The room may not be very good. It should just be in good condition, clean and without any dust. That's enough for us. The cloth should also not be very thick, it should be a simple cloth. That will do the job. why sir? If there are no grandchildren, there should

1:11:16 be a servant nearby who can manage the work. Someone should prepare food for you to do some regular work. We will stay after that. We have that much money. We will go, we will provide space, we will perform bhajans with all our resources. A lot of prayer is needed for this. Ishwari is the one who creates harmony. I told you old is gold. Was Gurudev not old ? I had seen Gurudev. He was the most charming person at 76. Whenever we used to go to camp, the whole society used to run after him. Brahma was brilliant. Was Tapan Maharaj not old? It was not Raman Maharshi's.

1:12:03 Thiruvan Malai if you go they have a room there. As soon as people came to know that his health is very bad today. So the trustees told you to take rest today. He said no, today he will have our last darshan. So one of them was sitting like that in the front room. There was a tumor here. There was a queue sir. There was a queue for a glimpse of them. What was in them? Was it not his ? Is it not Ram Bhadracharya's? Is n't the Ram who is there now, old? They are all above 75.

1:12:52 Look what colour they are. You chant for four hours in the morning. You should increase your thirst. Doesn't Guruji have it? Live by your own rules. I have reduced the satsang but continue doing my sadhana and bhajan. Everyone feels so much that we should go and meet him. Why? What is? These are not all symptoms. For example, no matter how much something tastes good, one should give up one thing in a year. What you say, Happy New Year New Year, wow. what do you say?

1:13:37 New York Resolution: Give up one thing which you like very much; it is not like giving up bitter gourd, sometimes give up chocolate which you like very much, sometimes give up toffee, so that the mind ends its demand, give up fasting by avoiding the subjects, then you will shine. You will enjoy it a lot. The joy of detachment is beyond description. It is a great pleasure. The valid heart of marriage is umasa charat, nisp ruthless, egoless sa shanti

1:14:22 madigaccha, he will remain calm. Don't make anyone your crutch and we too should not become anyone's crutch. Don't call me every day brother. If there is anything, please let me know, but I found out that I have to talk to mom every day at 8:00. Mummy ji said our son does not go to school. How many times did you say it? In which class? Principal. [praise] He has to be woken up. Whatever we

1:15:11 do, we celebrate Baisakhi with great attention. You come and we are so surprised after reading Bhagwat, we had given the example of sage Kardam in the morning. He had promised that the day you are born listen it is not like that we will meet again [laughs] with a good wife, good son and his many daughters, a detached son, do you know why people used to go to the ashram, so that the everyday things of the house are not discussed with us, we should not be attention seeking, we have done a lot of work, given a lot of

1:15:58 time, please let us give our time with God, Karma Yoga is going to God with the medium, I want to go without medium, I will contemplate on Brahma, I will contemplate on Upanishad, brother Vrinyak is left, that also needs to be completed, why brother Vivek Ji this is also a good project, gradually God will get it completed, this is the message of this particular chapter, so you will give it to him, maybe it is Paduka Pooja, the clock rang at 12:00, otherwise I will get late, I get late every day,

1:16:45 we will complete it today, Paduka Pooja, you have come, for this.
