Janhavi Bhatt from Rajkot Whenever I listen to any bhajan or whenever I go to any temple, I feel like crying - what could be the reason? Reason is very simple The only refuge for your mind is your own inner personal Bhagwan Who is in you, who is within you And yet our mind takes us out in relations In trusting people And people are very cruel Isn't it? On purpose, I will use a word in Punjabi - just understand - they 'poke' you It's like if you poke someone with a burning piece of wood, how much would that hurt? So, on purpose they would say things that make you angry, frustrated and make you feel low Our soft mind gets affected by listening to what they say Secondly, sometimes your family stops you from doing many things When this war started in Ukraine, a girl was doing MBBS there Can I see you please? Can you raise your hand? Yeah, there you go Name? Shweta Shweta was in Ukraine When bombs were being dropped by the Russians Many of our students, thousands of students were there And suddenly, they were not able to get any food or water The roof they were under - where the bomb could be dropped, they didn't know She saw the most cruel face of humanity there The shadow of death was on her head all the time You couldn't go outside, markets were closed They were not safe in the house they were in Your friends are all worried about themselves and started acting in selfish manner Nobody is ready to help anybody and people started stealing each others' belongings Someone took money, someone took clothes Because now it was a total anarchy - there is no system available to help you, to support you So, she saw a very bad situation there Anyhow, when she came back to Bharat - She wanted to come to the ashram directly from the airport But her parents were worried and stressed so they hugged their child and took her home That we - They were satisfied in that but her mental peace was not in that The fear she had experienced - When a human becomes an animal, he acts worse than an animal And seeing a human being becoming an animal, ones loses faith in humanity This is the time when from theft to dacoity to rape - anything can happen And you can't go and report to anybody So you are totally insecure In a war zone area, it is punishment to be - and I hope and pray that no country has to see a war situation like that And this is the history of our Bharat of thousands of years Bharat has never shown aggression Bharat has never attacked any country with it's army Every time, Bharat has fought a war for it's own safety and security But never troubled anyone without a reason But everyone is not as wise and intellectual as our great country People fight And at that time, she needed me To come here She couldn't come then but she is here now So these wounds that the world gives you, only the Guru can heal them No one else can That's why, we always have an unsaid connection with Paramatman This is a completely untrue that - "connect your mind with Bhagwan" Truth is our mind can't even think without Bhagwan His energy is there that's why the mind thinks and reflects That's why when you listen to a bhajan, it pulls the strings of your heart that are connected to Ishwara That's why tears come That's why when people listen to bhajan - many people experience this, this is not just your experience Janhavi Many people have this experience - they start crying But say if you go to a temple and you start crying, people get surprised - "what happened to her?" And even here in the ashram sometimes, someone starts crying with love - And a person who has come for the first time would say - "please don't cry, don't cry..." Then this person needs to be stopped - let her cry Because the bliss and happiness in crying is only at the footsteps of Guru, of Ishwara When you go there, all the sufferings that are suppressed in your mind come out without saying anything And that is very therapeutic That will unburden your mind That's why whenever you feel like crying like this and people around won't understand - But at least you must understand - this type of crying is really beautiful The mind is filled with emotions - let them flow as tears from my eyes The mind is filled with emotions - let them flow as tears from my eyes The lips are unable to say anything Let my heart cry out in love The mind is filled with emotions - let them flow as tears from my eyes How much I love you I fail to express it in words Heart filled with pain - let these tears flow freely Let these tears flow freely This fire that's aflame in my heart Let me nurture it with these tears The mind is filled with emotions - let them flow as tears from my eyes Let them flow as tears from my eyes I am crazy for my Sahib (Lord) Let me burn in the fire of love My mind is filled with emotions Let them flow as tears from my eyes My mind is filled with emotions In love for Guru or for Paramatman Even if our intellect doesn't know this yet but our mind is connected with that This connection becomes evident when we are in front of the Guru When we are alone Or when we see a very beautiful thing Or when we - it's a really lovely moment So whenever this happens, you shouldn't bother about what others say or don't say The tears that come from your eyes at that time, they are very calming, they are very cool They leave our mind unburdened They leave our mind peaceful and calm In the world if someone said something bad to you Someone took your dress Someone didn't return your money You wanted to go on a vacation but your parents didn't allow You might cry for these in anger Pay attention When you cry in anger, the tears are warm But when you cry in love for your Guru and Ishwara, the tears and cool and gentle They are very sweet And those people are truly blessed who are able to cry in love for Paramatman Baba Farid ji said in one place that - Those eyes are not eyes but a hole for a snake to live in - Where there are no tears of love Just like a snake if the eyes want to look here and there, if they want to look at worldly things - Those eyes are not eyes - they are a place for snakes to live Eyes are those that tear up in love Those that get filled with emotions If there are emotions in the mind, they flow out through the eyes as tears And this is an extremely beautiful experience, an extremely beautiful experience It's one thing to cry in unhappiness, in anger and in frustration This is a very bad - please don't ever cry like this Come on, why cry for the world? But in love - With emotions - This type of crying is very sweet Isha from Ludhiana writes - I had no hope to walk on the path of devotion I had no thirst to know my self Then one day, Guru called me close And made me drink the divine nectar of devotion Awakened love in my eyes Filled my heart with remembrance of Lord With love, my heart became full Guru's love made us dance I found that the mind became very calm He colored me in His colors Explained the goal of life Made me walk on the path of liberation Erased the darkness from my life Sat-chit-ananda is my true identity - Guru explained this Guru's devotees made me go crazy That's who taught us how to live Yes, the Guru taught us how to live Very beautiful, very beautiful! Oh ho - Madhav from Malerkotla Who is that? OK, it's you - great He has written poetry in Punjabi, listen up! I am not a poet That's great Repeat after me That's great I am not a poet but I have written a few words for you Hmm I had no gyana (knowledge) without you With you, gyana came! Without you, I couldn't recognize Sat-chit-ananda (ever-true, ever-conscious, blissful One) When you came, I could recognize Sat-chit-ananda You made me aware of my paap (bad karmas) You made this sinful person swim across O my Sadguru, how can I thank you? O my Sadguru, how can I thank you? Wah Beautiful His question is - what is Sanatana Dharma and what is the true sound of OM? A-U-M or OM First of all, Sanatana means eternal Right? Sanatana means one that never changes Time changes but this truth doesn't change So one that provides gyana to understand the truth, is called Sanatana Dharma The way there are religions, there are different sects Like there is Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism All these have a history Some of them started 1400 years ago, some 2500 years ago - right, relatively new There history spans just 2000 years But when did Upanishads come in being? In very ancient times
