Now at the night time, a little child is walking by so there are sounds of nocturnal animals roars of Lions and Cheetahs Possibility of a snake's presence is there everything can be there, but what was there in his mind? that now I'll sit in lord's lap, meaning will sit on Vishnu's lap If he is my father then I will meet him Now I can't get stuck anywhere else so when he left, they say, Devarishi Narada met on the way Narada ji recognized that he is son of King Uttanpaada so he stops him and said where are you going in the forest He said, I am going to reveal Lord Vishnu He replied- do you even know how difficult it is to meet him He said Dev Rishi if you become my Guru and you tell me because my mother says that only Guru shows us the way to attain Lord So will you be my Guru? Narada Ji said yes okay I'll be your Guru So he sat near him He said, now tell so Narad ji was there with him for a few days and he kept telling anecdotes to Dhruva In the past, who have been able to manifest Lord who attained the Lord About all those sages, devotees; Sanaka Sanatana, Sanandana, and Sanat- about these four brothers He kept telling about their lives Dhruv asked that when these sages used to meditate and if the snake came were they not afraid? Narada explained Dhruva Death comes once not twice so If someone has to die from a snake bite then nobody can stop it and if one is not destined to die after being bitten by a snake then the snake comes... Like you play with your friends Just like that this snake, lion, cheetah, elephant they too are children of Lord, so they became our friends so are we afraid of friends? Dhruva said no, then snake is also your friend Lion is also your friend Cheetah is also your friend Owl and bird is also your friend, parrot too... all are your friends so what to fear of from friends? What is happening with these talks of Dev Rishi Narad? Dhruv's mind is gaining strengthened Dev Rishi Narad is giving examples so after listening those examples, Dhruv's mind is getting more strength Now Dev Rishi started scaring him a bit He said, see if you will sit and lion comes then? Dhruva said he is my friend If he will come, I'll sit on his back He will give me a ride! What if a snake comes, then? He said, I will play with him Once a snake charmer came to the palace, he had a snake around his neck I was terrified but now I understood that he is a friend There is also a snake in the neck of Mahadev ji so if I found a snake, I will put him around my neck All these conversation which Narad ji had while having all these talks Narad ji could see that although the child's body is very small by age, but now his mind has become very strong Narad ji said, now you are ready, go and meditate Puraan Story states Six years old Dhruva started meditating- I will manifest Vishnu Asana, Pranayama Kumbhaka- Narad ji taught all these things to him See many things are there which we need to learn from the Master and a few things are like that which get transmitted through Guru's grace You get the word transmit? Like with the WiFi You have a connection You have to download a Pdf (a specific format of a digital file) and the internet is working fine then how much time will it take to download? A e-book comprising 300-400 pages comes in just like that Right? and not only one, we can download so many e-books You can save it in your pen- pen drive is so small and yet It can store so much What we call the grace of the Guru that is when Guru transmits his or her knowledge to the disciple and disciple is just downloading everything It doesn't take time then So Dhruva didn't took much time All that knowledge of Dev Rishi Narada got transmitted in him he started meditating Meditation continued for six months Now you see Dhruva's mother Was she getting mad and crying? In those times, police stations were not there but did she went somewhere to file a complaint? She was definitely worried But Dev Rishi Narada came and told him that don't worry mother your son, with the knowledge given by you and me is in forest and meditating, you may stop worrying and Dhruva's mother is blessed one as after listening to this she went absolutely silent and worry-free, assured that whose caretaker is Lord himself he has nothing to worry about Whose protector is Lord himself he doesn't have any fear and sitting at home, she started praying for the success of her son Here, when King Uttaanpada got to know (about all this) He regretted a lot, felt very sad that I should have spoken something, should have stopped (Dhruva), scolded my wife May be Dhruva won't have left the house but Now, he had nothing but repentance and Narad ji said, I won't tell where he is but know this much that he has moved on to his journey six months Dhruva continued to meditate It is said In the first one month He ate fruit, leaves and did Sadhna In second month, he left fruit, just ate some leaves and kept doing sadhna In the third month, he even stopped eating leaves only from Vayu (The Air element) he was taking his energy From Vayu and Sun Do you know how? like trees, plants aren't eating roti, daal, rice They take energy from the Sun They take energy from air directly they take minerals from the earth directly So in Yoga one method is there using which, one may take direct energy from Vayu and Sun such yogi doesn't have to eat anything and I, with great fortune have met two such Yogis that if they don't eat for three or four months in a row even then their one ounce of the weight won't decrease One ounce! Not even a drop of water or food nothing, no fruit, no water but their energy tremendous That is the thing of Yogic practices So Dhruva ji while meditating like that Four months passed In fifth month, he inhaled one deep breath and did Kumbhaka meaning, now there is no need to take a new breath like you have heard of Bears- for 6 months they go into hibernation Right? they don't eat they are just in their you know, cave and just resting and their body temperature goes down Right? and they are just sitting, six months Polar bears the Canadian bears all these bears goes in hibernation for six months so in yoga one such method is there through which a Yogi takes his body into hibernation Coming into the sixth month, it is said, Vishnu gave Darshan to Dhruva and Vishnu asked, what do you want? He said, I'll just sit in your lap You are my father Mother has told me this Dev Rishi Narada has told me this Today, I want to sit in your lap He said, Okay He (Vishnu) sat cross-legged and Dhruva sat in his lap and Vishnu showered him with lots of love Gives so many blessings and love to him and then asked him, what else do you want? So he said like, I found you after so much hardship now may you are available to everybody Vishnu said, this can't happen because those who don't want to meet me, why should I meet him? You have searched for me, I met you then Dhruva said, okay now you Yourself tell what would you like to give me? It is said, at that time Vishnu placed his conch in his ears played it Dhruv got Atmagyani (enlightened being) and after becoming enlightened, returned back to his palace A Conch is symbol of knowledge meaning Vishnu ji gave Brahm gyaan to Dhruva and after getting that, what is Atma, what is Brahma He got all this knowledge and after that no sorrow was left in his mind so while laughing and playing Dhruva ji returned back to his palace and King Uttaanpada and his younger queen They too were in great remorse, she too was very sad and when Dhruv came, with such a glowing face Have come after seeing Vishnu This news was received by all of them through Dev Rishi Narada so they all were very happy and Dhruva came back now why I am saying this story to all of you? just to say, a six year old kid whose not fearful to go in a jungle to be alone, to meditate and to search for god Now just think, what sort of knowledge Dhruva's mother gave to this child? and found a guru like Dev Rishi Narada then that knowledge got more sealed Validation happened, Certification happened so a six year old kid was that strong You are older than six, right? You are all older than six So I would like to just remind you this you can be as strong as Dhruva You can be that and that's what we'll try that while listening to this Gyaan you get so empowered and powerful that you shouldn't have any fear or any inferiority complex left in you and you, by becoming so brave by pursuing the ultimate life goal by becoming powerful by becoming strong do everything in your life well, without fear, without panic without fear and without panicking and this is possible Like I told that girl to do do Yog nidra and she did that and after that all her friends, students did coaching and she didn't do but when examinations got over and when results came, She brought higher percentage than all her friends Question is not how much she got question is this that how well she used her mind made the mind so capable made it strong and the lack that was there of not taking coaching how did she overcome that? by making her mind strong and Yog nidra does that and in context of Yog nidra I will tell you later that what is the procedure and tomorrow you will get an opportunity in which you will learn this practice of Yog nidra and tomorrow, we will also introduce you to such students who are already doing Yog nidra from last one and a half year and what are their experiences while doing Yog nidra You will listen to them and they are students like you They aren't older sadhak, they are just as ordinary as you are but as special as you are Right? And how yog nidra has changed their mind and how they are dealing with the situation, whether it is of exam or whether it is something else They are calm, they are collected, they are strong and they are able to deal with the situation whatever is coming in their life Right? When divine power is with us then nothing remains difficult in life Now the big question arises that how this divine power is received and where does it comes from? Will you also have to meditate for 6 months like Dhruva, there will be so much difficulty in that. Right? But, there will be some way that gives you this power Come, I will tell you in next sitting that how you can attain this power and all your fears all the inferiority complexes all the fears can be removed from the mind so in a way, I am giving you a diet for the mind to make it strong All have healthy bodies Parents have given good diet but the mind Mind should not remain weak and I think so, they Surely with some way must have tried too, it's not like they haven't tried anything but whatever else can be done My work is only that so that, you know, one of the reasons why Guru is called a mother and why Guru is also called a father because Guru nurtures you like a mother and guru disciplines you like a father and that's why 'Gurudev Mata' 'Gurudev Pita' 'Gurudev Swami Sahodra' Swami means owner- master but 'sahodar' meaning he is a friend too So guru is mother and a father Guru is a friend and is master too Swami means someone will consider you as theirs then only can be harsh with you when needed and considers his own, so he can also scold and considers his own, he can love you So this has been our tradition in this country that we consider guru as mother, father, master and friend- all that's why I always say, the one who has a good master in his life his life goes very well in any trouble or difficulty if he gets stuck and he can't figure out, what to do in such a situation, the Gyaan imparted by the Guru comes in handy and if the Guru can possibly meet or you can meet and tell your situation, so by being a friend by being a well wisher also gives you guidance because he doesn't wants anything from you Mother, father needs many things from you, they keep on saying You will fulfill my dreams Bring glory to your father's name One kid said, I can bring glory to my father's name then why can't he bring glory unto himself? One kid, outside his house was standing in front of name plate with torch Understood? Mother asked, what are you doing? He said I am bringing light to father's name See i have brought glory to my father's name Right? so because of someone anybody's else name gets glorified There should not be such a desire, but parents often have who don't get Satsang, they expect such things from their children
