Having belief is one thing, knowing is another thing In the world, all religious people do believe that Paramatman (the Supreme Self) exists but they do not 'know' that Paramatman exists how subtle is your godliness 'tareeq' means subtle, minute subtle the poet says how subtle is your godliness that man does not find God getting everything else, you see money, fame, power, strength, everything it's very accessible you just need to work hard, you get everything but would you, would you really attain God? You don't have interest you don't want it, you don't desire it, you don't cry for it you don't yearn for it why would you get it? You are Puranjan who has forgotten the one who is always there with you even when you were in mother's womb even when you will be put to flames on the pyre whether in the mother's womb or in the cradle or in the graveyard God is always there with you, never leaves you and you are not even interested to know who that God is you don't feel that it's needed nobody feels it is needed If food is not received then, how irritating it gets People tend to have a headache if they do not get tea if they do not get to see faces of their grandson, granddaughter, son, daughter, they become sad Paramatman when it's about him, nothing happens neither pain nor anguish nor seeking nothing An amazing thing is this that this human life was given only to seek and know and explore who God is Can a dog know it? Can a cow know it? Can a monkey? Can a chimpanzee? No bird no animal can do that. They don't have the brain they don't have that brain You have brain but where have you applied your brain in following the intellect, and this intellect keeps you wandering let's eat, let's drink something, let's roam somewhere, let's buy some clothes, let's do some shopping only so unfortunate Puranjan, in one birth did not understand anything, then died then was reborn as Puranjani in the next birth in this also, when he became a widow and experienced the grief of death then he met a Mahatma, listened to satsang (spiritual discourse), understood it and hence was liberated How many births will you take? to feel this anguish see people say that eating and earning are necessary too but my question is what for? Okay, have you heard this have you heard this idiom? All ready and nowhere to go meaning a beautiful lady a beautiful lady fixed an appointment at a beauty parlour and she booked all kinds of beauty treatments that can possibly exist do this, do that my hair, my skin, my face, my feet, my hand all sharped, shaped, polished, all glittery When she reaches home, she wears the best dress that she has hair done, makeup done, all beautiful and then wears her high heels husband arrives and asks if she is going somewhere she says no Are you coming from somewhere? She says no you have to go somewhere? She says no then? says this is something I don't know myself I am all ready but nowhere to.. this is called See people complete their studies by the time they reach thirty I am talking about today's time I am not talking about the ones seated here, who are aged above sixty you were already married by the age of twenty three or twenty four parents used to get them married saying it doesn't matter, the guy will become wise once he gets married what? Who said this? that you get wise just by getting married By the time you came to thirty, you had kids then joined business of your father, that's it Now you have to carve a career so one is already twenty eight or thirty years of age, after completion of masters, MBA, all this then gets married and marriage and then by the time you have two or three kids by the time these kids attain the age of twenty or twenty two years you will be fifty two or around fifty five years old and by then heart stops functioning blood pressure has occurred acidity has occurred I met a woman, she is barely fifty two and her doctor has said you will have to go for knee replacement my God what has she done? Did you play football? What have you done? woman don't take diet properly, don't drink milk, their calcium intake is less and by the time menopause occurs, osteoporosis or osteopenia sets in bones get weaker, a slight tumble breaks them now go get hip replacement done by the time fifty five all components are severely shaken you need glasses to read by the time you reach sixty you need help for everything When will you do that which is meant to be done? Baith satsang mein baat ko bhoojh le bina satsang na bharam jaahi says sit in satsang (spiritual discourse), listen and understand and remove your illusion after understanding remove your illusions by listening to satsang because if you don't do that you will be wasting your whole life Mrs. Kharaiti Lal came running with extreme joy Oh we have won a lottery, we have won a lottery husband was really surprised thinking I didn't buy any lottery ticket, which lottery has she won? He asked her to show the ticket So she held the ticket and she said see and match the number mentioned in the newspaper, it is the same number we have won a lottery we have received five crores and have become rich, she was dancing around the house the husband slapped her lightly he said, stupid can you not see the year this lottery ticket that you are carrying it is five years old and the newspaper is today's old ticket today's newspaper found the number would the prize be received? so this shouldn't happen that the lottery ticket of your life expires and what you have to earn, you end up not earning it This I am talking about this in today's first sitting so that in the coming days you to Mrs. Intellect make it understand that we have wandered enough after you Now, we see, it is said that you should give your mind and intellect to the Guru People don't give their mind, intellect mind means emotions and intellect means intelligence you have given your emotions to the world and you have given intellect also to the world so what has been said give mind, intellect to the Guru give mind, intellect to the Mahatma because this mind, intellect has kept you in trouble so this has to be given up "mann arpon, tann rakhun aage" May I surrender my mind, may I give my mind so that from the Guru new, I receive new intellect This intellect won't work A while back, there was a shivir (meditation retreat) so, a a woman was seated she didn't know that I stood behind for two minutes while taking a walk and she was talking to some other woman and you know what she was talking about...about breakfast hail eating, drinking she was saying how enjoyable it was today what delicious aloo-puri, how many did you eat? I ate six She is speaking and the other one who is seated with her said even I too wanted to eat more, but what could I do as the stomach was already full sister don't worry, I've heard that kofta is being prepared for lunch they know the next program also now, what will be the schedule in satsang that is displayed on the wall through some poster so everybody knows but what will be the food menu, we haven't displayed that anywhere but don't know from where she received this news in the kitchen the cooks must be preparing outside dudhi they must be grating the bottle gourd so she must have asked what is being prepared and he would have told So, she is enjoying morning's breakfast what would be eaten during noon, she is weaving dreams about it and what has she come for, shivir (meditation retreat) This will be our endeavour that by the time this shivir culminates if some good experiences happen to you then understand Oh dear, you'll acquire immensely life doesn't tranform by talks, it transforms through experience no matter how much I say you'll listen, enjoy and then forget but if you happen to have some good experience that's it then, what you call as being obsessed with it, that happens then, even if the entire world tries stopping you, then also nobody will be able to stop you and your sleep, lethargy everything will go away because, in order to have that experience, again and again, you would want to practice more then, one does not have to say again one does not have to say again
