I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't behold Hari I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't behold Hari Hari has given me birth in this world Guru has freed me from the cycle of birth and death Hari gave five thieves who accompanied me along But Guru has liberated me- the poor orphaned illusionary self I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't behold Hari Hari bound me in the web of family and relationships And Guru has cut off all my attachments Hari entangled me in cycle of ailments and sensory pleasures Guru made me a Yogi and helped me renounce everything I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't even behold Hari Lord tricked me with illusion of karma Guru showed me my Real Self Hari entangled me in acts of creating bondage and salvation Guru destroyed all the delusions in one go I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't even behold Hari I have surrendered my mind and body unto Charan Das- (Revered Gurudev of Sant Sahajo Bai Ji) I can never forsake my Gurudev but I have forsaken Hari I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't even behold Hari I may forsake Rama but I can never forget my Gurudev In front of Guru, I won't even behold Hari Sahajo says - Lord gave me birth in this world And And Jeeva (reflected self) got stuck in bondage of karma in such a way that He is born and dies, again is born and dies- so on and so forth Then Guru ji entered the life Guru freed him from this cycle of birth and death Then who is greater - Hari or Guru? Look at Her logic Lord gave five thieves alongwith - desire, anger, greed, attachment and ego These five thieves came along with the Jeeva Entire problem is created by Hari! And Guru liberated the orphaned me And Guru liberated me 'anatha' - Anath means the one who has no master And these five thieves are robbing him Ahh...there is a beautiful creation of Kabir Sahib Who has robbed the city of your mind? Lord has given these five thieves I met the Guru and He saved me from being robbed by these five thieves Lord bound me in the web of family and relationships When you are born, you have parents, siblings, aunts and uncles Grandparents...so many relations The poor jeeva got stuck Guru ji came and said, "My dear you are not this body" - all relationships end with this Say it, who is greater - Hari or Guru?! Yes, look at the justifications! Hari entangled in diseases and sensory pleasures As soon as the child is born, he is either suffering from wind in stomach, or he is teething or having loose motions sometimes he keeps on crying; Sometimes he has colitis or just can't sleep Or he didn't burp And then he grows up, gets pimples on the face Then as he ages, he has problems related to wind and heat Medicine for blood pressure and diabetes Not able to sleep, not hungry Not able to relieve himself Got it? One gets stuck in so many things He suffers from so many diseases Hari has entangled one in diseases and sensory pleasures As long as there is body, there are diseases and sensory pleasures He indulges in sensory pleasures and diseases increase And when too many diseases come, one is not able to eat Then those with diabetes crave bad for something sweet And those with BP crave for something savory And the cholesterol is high And doctor tells them to have boiled lentils No even the flatbread but just eat the thin layer on the flatbread The thin layer on top of the flatbread is called 'papa' in Andhra Pradesh And the moong masoor lentils are called 'pappu' I was in Hyderabad once and my friend who was with me ordered That man spoke only Hyderabadi language He only spoke Telugu So it's called pappu-dal I was like - what is pappu-dal? In Punjab, there are boys named 'Pappu' He said, "No, here moong masoor lentils are called pappu" So now the sick person just eats boiled lentils But he wants to eat chat-pakori (Indian snacks) But his wife, son and daughter-in-law scold him, "Can't you keep your mouth shut?" "You are taking so many medicines" "What if something happens?" "What if you get a heart attack?" "You will need a by-pass surgery, doctor says, you can't eat this" Just imagine, what kind of greed arises in the mind and the poor man can't eat Isn't this a punishment or not? Diseases happen because of indulgences and now he can't indulge due to diseases He gets very upset And what did Guru do? Guru Ji perfected him in Yoga What does perfection of Yoga mean? He taught you how to have command over the mind and sensory desires Now even if a thousand things are lying in front He picks up one thing Eats it If someone brings buttermilk in the evening He will say, "You shouldn't eat yogurt in the evening, that will cause disease" Someone said, "Have this milk" "And have hot fritters with it" He will say, "No, we shouldn't have salt and milk together" He has knowledge from Guru Ji now Someone said, "Let's watch a late night show from 9 to 12" He says, "No, if I sleep too late then I won't be able to wake up early" "That's why you can go but I will sleep on time and wake up on time because I need to do my practices" So, Guru taught Yoga Guru made you a Yogi Now becoming a Yogi, you won't run after sensory pleasures and won't become diseased Ahh...I will take a question with this One man has written, "My sugar has increased a lot" He has written 'soogar' That's what I am reading And he is saying - "With my wrong eating habits and wrong lifestyle, I suffer from sugar and cervical" "I want to fix my body" "Please tell me the solution" Sanjeev Kumar ji You should come and stay in the ashram for a few days Here we make a herbal Ayurvedic concoction and do Acupuncture There are few other systems....when you will stay here, your sugar will be in control very quickly And cervical is not a big thing I see many people If they have a lower back pain, they use a lumbar belt For support, they use that belt I see people, if they have bad cervical...(they wear) that thing- (which looks) like a dog collar. It's so thick and then all the while, they are like this Namaste! Come on! For that you must do asanas to relax your shoulder muscles Some asanas for improving from shoulder agility and mobility Cervical can be cured easily There is no need to wear a collar But when one doesn't have the understanding...huh? You just ring bells in a temple and come home You just have langar in a Gurudwara and come back Tell me what do you learn from there? I am not saying, don't go I like that myself, if I find the time I go there But what did you learn there? Like, when I finished the Salok Mahalla 9, when I finished the recording Then I had this deep desire So I said, "I must go to His place, to whom this Bani belongs" So, I went to Chandni Chowk Sis Ganj Gurudwara Sahib This is that place where Guru took his last breath So, I went there to bow down my head That Guru Maharaj I have sung your Bani I felt so much joy and bliss May your Bani of dispassion reaches everyone; May it reaches every mind I was so full of love that I couldn't help myself Everyone said, it's very crowded there but I said, "Don't worry" I have a secret method to go anywhere I just go and come back, no one finds out I have to go! Now, I won't go with a pomp and show so that everyone finds out I go there very low-key and no one finds out I went and paid my respect When I wore my shoes and came out, then a few people were like - "Oh, she is the one who comes on TV" By then, I was gone! I don't give anyone that much chance Because I think, it's my private matter I wanted to come to my Guru's place and I came But you must remember At the moment, I regret to say.... There must be contemplation (on Guru's Bani), it should be taught (But) That's not happening Kirtan is beautiful but you will get the essence of Bani when you'll know the meaning of the words of Bani It's a very nice, very beautiful atmosphere But people are in a rush to have langar And people just pray that - "Maharaj please fix this, fix that" They handover a list to Maharaj "Maharaj, you are sitting idle - just fix this for me" Huh? There is no love There is no love for the Guru There is no love for Guru's Bani You don't have it's understanding That's why they don't experience joy But what did you learn? You must the know-how to manage your body So, do the basic asanas properly and correct your eating habits I am telling you the basics, even if you can't come here Refined flour, wheat, sugar, rice And seed oil All the refined seed oils - stop consuming all those oils Eat millets And if you eat just once a day, it's even better And Ahh...even if I names all these leaves, there is no benefit (if they are not easily available) So if they are easily available to you then - Neem leaves, jamun seed, leaves and it's root Umm... And Giloy And we boil all of them and then add 1-2 more ingredients You can boil these and drink this concoction morning and evening Eat millets And if one can then do water-fast, one day per week Here in the Ashram Sugar levels that were hovering around 300-350, have come down Those on insulin have also been cured There is a big role of acupuncture in that Patients have blood-letting and acupuncture procedures going along Our doctors here take care of these But if one doesn't do anything but just this much - Sugar, rice, wheat, refined flour and refined oil - totally stop consuming them Until 12 pm, if possible, just have a salad or something raw If it's difficult to digest, then use some Lavan bhaskar churna along It will be good if you take proper medicine from an Ayurvedic doctor You will need it for 2-3 months After that just with diet management, your diabetes will be under control For cervical, do asanas So, when one learns Yoga from Guru then he is saved from diseases and sensory indulgences Sahajo says - Lord tricked me with karma and illusion Virtuous actions and sinful actions If you do good and bad karma, you will reap it's fruit - happiness and suffering To reap that fruit, you will need to take birth The cycle goes on and on and on... So, Lord tricked me with karma and illusion Guru showed me my Real Self How about that?! The mind with which I did sinful and virtuous deeds, I am not that mind The mind that had samskaras (imprints of conditioning) and desires, I am not even that mind One comes to know of this with conviction Direct encounter of the Real Self happened and upon the realisation the Real Self Both birth and death disappeared Birth-death cycle came to an end for a realised one Then tell me, who is greater - Hari or Guru?
