Now the whole load of this is going to be humungous and that creates depression that creates depression why? because whatever you wanted you did not get it what ever you wanted when you do not get it then you mind becomes sad and when it is sad it cries now I am sad but now I can't cry in front of everyone then for it an atmosphere needs to be created do you know, in this world which songs sell most? the sobbing ones right? sad songs I was seeing someone's phone we were in the car we were on a long drive some seven eight hour journey that was, I said play some music so he said I have some music on my phone so , I said okay play that only. He said I but my collection I am not sure if you will like my play list I asked him to just play now when he played then it began with Kishore Kumar's sad song "Ghungroo Ki Tarah" sad song "Ghungroo" "Ki Tarah" "Bajta Hi" "Raha Hoon Mai" "Ghungroo" "Ki Tarah" "Bajta Hi Raha" "Hoon Main" "Kabhi Is Pag" "Mein, Kabhi Us" "Pag Mein" "Chalata Hi Raha" "Hun Main" I said play something else then another one that too was a sad song then third that too a sad song, then fourth, that too a sad song I said brother, don't you have anything else? he said, no, no I do have Ghazals too okay then play a Ghazal now it was playing via blue tooth so he played his Ghazal now the Ghazal too was similar sad one I asked do you have any classical music? he said yes, I have that too! now when he played, that was "Bhairavi" "Bhairavi" too has soft notes which seem like crying O Lord! the kind of music people have in their phone, from that, how their state of mind is a lot can be known from that now, you may have seen many when they are sad, A person, I saw, by chance this happened, he had very low light in the room dim light and was playing Jagjit Singh's Ghazal and had liquor poured out and he was drinking, with Jagjit Singh playing,listening to it, he was I said Jagjit Singh drinking and crying too sings so beautifully, listeing to his song no one can cry he said no, I play his songs because listening to this all my sorrow comes out and I cry so he sat there crying, he said one hour if I listen then my mind feels very light this is too much! you cry and feel light, your mind becomes calm and quiet after crying? which is why in the world mostly sad songs are very popular be it in English or in Hindi or Punjabi, because that's what sells, sad songs are being played, sad songs are played the atmosphere is sad all is lost the world is very cruel the beloved is dishonest there is just sadness and crying sad, sad, at home too sadness songs too are sad and so much sadness they store after that they send me letters in the heart Gurumaa, my mind does not become quiet what will Gurumaa do? you create reasons to cry, you create so many desires and you have so many expectations from others and when that doesn't gets fulfilled then your mind is so sad then your mind is in depression and then you can't sleep at night & then you wonder what should I do? you know, I will tell you another story about this, that is it was just you know, I was 15 or so, when I was put up onto the dais and I was asked to speak to the congregation okay & then after a month or so one temple invited me to give discourses and see I am just 15, but they wanted me so my knowledge Guru he said you will go and you will do it, so I would go from my school to that temple to deliver the discourse like a child coming from school somebody would feed the lunch and these ladies would give me lunch first, I would eat the lunch & then sit on the dais and give the Satsang now what I am seeing is that when ever I am talking about Vairagya (dispassion) these ladies would cry and cry and I would have a sense that I am making some point ya, they are realising it and they are crying! one time a woman followed me, in my room and she sat with me and I asked her, 'how are you feeling?' she cried more another half an hour and then she said, 'Gurumaa world is' 'so bad', I said 'yes, it is' she said: 'no', 'I am truly saying from my experience', 'only if you had seen my mother' 'in law!' 'O' God!' I thought she is scrying out of Vairagya out of dispassion! but she was actually upset with her mother in law so I am thinking, what an impression I am making that I am singing 'Khali Pinjra Pada' 'Reh Jayega, Sansaar Jhooth hai' this Vairagya,wisdom and Knowledge and she is getting into all this Vairagya,wisdom and Knowledge & thats why she is crying but actually that was not the truth but after that whenever I would sing and whenever somebody is crying, i would really enquire that what is wrong in family! is it husband, is it son, is it daughter, is it money, what is the issue? why are you crying? inside people there is a lot of sorrow filled with sorrow are people, loaded with problems why is it? because your expectations from the world, your desires from the world, when they are not met then what else will you do, but cry what else will you do? when the mind is not in Sadhna (meditation) when in the mind there is now knowledge when some Mantra is not the basis of your life then for man nothing else but crying is is the only resort left but when we in our lives bring in Sadhana (spiritual practice) and we sit do our practice get the mind to focus and when the mind gets focused, it quietens and becomes still and concentrates there comes the state of oneness that stability comes now what sorrow is there? this mind gets bathed, now the mind is still, it has stopped, it is quiet, in the mind there is no fickleness, in the mind there is no sadness and with this quiet mind then the worldly interactions or work a human being does then somethings will be good, some things may not be good but the one whose mind is quiet, then that if such a person's life is disrupted he says now issues is something very good happens then he says, it's grace of God a gentleman was saying my mother's sister, is upset with me and left and went away so now what will you do? he said, nothing I am a very quiet but just feeling a little sad for her she left in anger but for me it's okay, because when she would come, she would stay for two months & would talk so much, so much she would talk that it would cause a headache and then I would have to take pill for headache now she won't come so for us it's good only in that while the aunt came came back someone came and informed that aunt has come back he said oh, she is back! okay, that's a very good thing she talks very nice things she keeps everyone entertained she gives everyone's report, she knows about everyone she worries about everyone she takes care of everyone it's okay, my aunt is a very wise woman she spat her anger and came back the aunt came and in front of her she spat and said to spit on you I came back he said no worries you spit out your anger, drink water and sit, meaning in life you too must have an aunt surely must be there or must be an uncle, one or the other or a son or a nephew or another uncle or any other relative who is always upset with you is there someone or not? there is, right! so they are upset so then whey should you be upset too, now if to correct others you set out then you too will become disrupted so you keep yourself right make your own mind quiet and stable, your own mind keep it in oneness outsiders will like rain drop sometimes and sometimes just the clouds will come and then pass by & sometimes so then will come and then pass by & sometimes there will be thunder & lightening so then and no rain and sometimes so then it will go on there may be much rain & no lightening so then this program so then so in these varied circumstances we don not get disturbed and we should not give others so much importance when we give importance to others then others get the power to interfere in your life and create the problems in your mind do not give undue attention and undue importance to those who don't deserve it but it the sheer attachment of ypur mind which creates this shackle which creates this bondage and you can't then come out of that your mind from its attachments needs to be freed about keeping it free... no matter how much I speak today you think we are not going to give up don't know why she keeps saying it because we will do what we want to do then to say this why do I do it? I am going on shooting arrows hoping that may be one will strike so many are sitting here in someone's heart may be it will stay that to live life we must create a space within for ourselves where sorrow or sadness or anger will not be there and which place is that? that is your mind only so in your mind, in a corner light the lamp of love the lamp of meditation just light it when you sit in practice then, any technique you are following any Pranayama you may be doing while practicing that technique while doing that Pranayama slowly slowly slowly the mind becomes joyful the mind becomes calm the mind just stills and the more the mind becomes still the more our connection from the outside automatically breaks the one who is able to dive within immersing in true love then their outward connection gets dissolved on its own this will not happen by thinking just by thinking alone you cannot release your bondages how can you release your bondages? that you can do by bringing meditativeness to your mind by bringing the light of wisdom to your mind when you are meditative when you are observer of your mind, of your breath when you bring this inner music then this mind is so happy within itself that it doesn't want to come out and it won't care what happened outside or what not happened outside, now you alone have this power to create that beautiful space in your mind whenever you go to a temple any Hindu temple the priest will place the mark of sandalwood here, right? question is why? many people think it is Prasad of Bhagwan but the truth is the sandalwood paste on this place will help you to keep the attention at that place otherwise your mind might go here and there so the sandalwood paste Tilak is actually a tool to do your Agya Chakra Sadhana (meditating by focusing between the brows) now some people think that the Tika (mark on the forehead) now some people think that the Tika (mark on the forehead) is probably that the Tika (mark on the forehead) that I wear here is probably is probably everyone puts is the priest applied it, we got it put there is a mystery behind it there is a reason and the reason is that when the Tika is applied on the forehead so when it is applied it is very cool and then given sometime it begins to dry and as it dries the skin in that area begins to tighten and if at that time you focus your attention in that place then see how easily you will be able to do it the Tilak the science behind it is, that Tilak helps us in our yogic practices and if once you understand and become a proficient Sadhak then it is not necessary that you apply it, but in the beginning if you have just started to meditate you have just started to sit to do you practice then this it is good to begin this way from outside taking some support
