[Music] Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss [Music] Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. My subconscious doesn't move. Mind has become lame. Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. [Music] One fine day, I had an enthusiasm. So, I ground the sandalwood, and mixed it with other fragrant oils. Preparing thus, I went to worship Brahman. The Guru revealed that very Brahman within my mind. Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. [Music] Wherever I may go, It is either water or stone (statue) You are uniformly present at every place. I searched through entire Vedas and Puranas. I shall go there if He wasn't present here. Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. [Music] Oh Satguru, I am a sacrifice unto Thee, as You have cut down the entire bundle of my illusions. Ramanand Swami dwells in Brahman. The Guru's word cuts down millions of karmas. Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. My subconscious doesn't move.... My subconscious doesn't move, mind has become lame. Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. It is colored in bliss, it is colored in bliss! Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. It is colored in bliss, it is colored in bliss! Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss. It is colored in bliss, it is colored in bliss! Where may I go? Where may I go? Where may I go? My home is colored in bliss... Swami Ramanand says, "Where should I go? Where" "should I go to color?" And see, it's Basant Panchami today! The season of Basant has arrived. This is a welcome for the same. It is the spring season which infused the desire to marry Sati in the heart of the ascetic, hermit Mahadev. When he saw Sati's austerity, her caliber, then, with that Mahadev was appeased and he agreed to marry her. It is this very Basant Panchami, following which, the festival of Holi commences in Vrindavan. And it goes on for the entire month. But, on this Vasant panchami, I am reaching out to you with this Swami Ramanand Ji's shabad to convey a message. There is no color better than the color of True Knowledge. There is no color better than the color of True Love. The ones who do not know how to play in colors of True Knowledge and Love, then they need to given the permission of playing with colors like Abir, Gulal... Wouldn't kids play something, too? everyone does not understand True Knowledge. everyone does not understand this hue of True Knowledge. All do not understand the bliss of meditation. That's why, we have two kinds of Holi-one inside and the other outside. Yogi's Holi is that of inside. He plays with the colors of True Knowledge. He doesn't play with external colors. A sanyasi plays with the internal color of meditation. He also doesn't play with the colors of the outer world. Now, if we see, I wear this color- So, I have been colored, now. Permanently colored. For every day of life, I have been colored. For every day of life, Not for once in a while. People's color is for once in a while. A sanyasi's color is within and without, uniform! And then... In this also, let me say, sanyasis are of two types-The ones who have the color in the outer world and inside there is nothing. And at times, there may also be a such a grihasthi (householder), that is colored in True Love, inwardly. Outwardly, he's a grihasthi. Keep in mind, your household can't stop you from being colored in True Love. Whether you run a shop, a home- all sort of such things, but, if the fire of vairagya (dispassion) is lit within you at all times, and you delve into the nectar of meditation... So, you're a sanyasi, then. But, Vasant Panchami says on whom does this vasant bloom? The one who first bears the fall of dispassion. The one who has done away with "I", "Mine". The one who has left the desire, the race of the world. The one who gets this fall first, in that very person, then, the union of The Lord's vasant (Spring) blooms. Bharatvarsha is such an amazing country where even the seasons are celebrated. So, we celebrate the season of vasant. The flowers of vasant That's why, on this day, people wear yellow clothes. Among you also, some people are wearing them. Yellow clothes are worn, saffron sweet rice are eaten, Yellow flowers of Tesu (flame of the forest), yellow flowers of Marigold... Calendula, these flowers are decorated in the premises of the home. Inside the mind, there is Lord's love, then comes Vasant. Otherwise, you may plant as many flowers as you like, then also, within you are burnt-scorched and crying; if this is what you do, then your Vasant hasn't yet come. For whom the Vasant has arrived? The one who has True Love within, satiation within. The one who has patience within. The one that has a gratefulness for others. -Has love. For such a person Vasant arrives. His Vasant never parts. He may or may not wear yellow attire, outwardly. Outwardly, he may or may not eat a yellow-hued food. Regardless, his mind has hues of bliss blooming within, at all times. For you all, may this Vasant be auspicious. On this day, Saraswati is worshiped... -Those who are associated with the space of music. On this day... Mother Saraswati is worshiped, the Goddess of Learning is worshiped, so that in our subconscious, in our mind, may learning descend, may True Knowledge descend. Within us, may we able to ignite the light of True Knowledge. May we not stay as lumps of mud alone! At least, may we become humans. But, only with True Knowledge and Love, we become a human. So, a Lot of Greetings to you all on this Vasant Panchami! In your life, may this Vasant always burgeon. An allusion is there. That's why, we can build that allusion in many ways within and without. We must build beautiful allusions. So, with this auspicious start of Vasant may your life be auspicious! From your mind, may the fall of anxiety, fear, and grief go away! May your mind be burgeoned with lotuses of bliss and may the moonlit buds keep blooming, may your life be brimmed with fragrances. May you live a life filled with nectar, life filled with bliss! And may sadness and grief get destroyed. May your ignorance part! Such an auspicious greeting and blessing, I give to you all!
