Guru Sahib is not saying that you don't see with your eyes Maharaj says, "Look at the flower" Flowers are created by Lord - enjoy the flowers There are fragrances - smell them But don't bind your attraction with them They can give me happiness Don't keep this misconception within yourself Now four friends said, "We'll consume alcohol; let's go to the club" Those four are going and you are bound to them so you went too You said, "OK, no problem - what difference does this make?" You know "mummy is not here so let me have a drink" And one will go to two, two to ten, ten to twenty And then You damage your body, you damage your health And how long will your friends stay with you? Until you have money And until there is health If you have 2000 friends on Facebook and you fall sick, tell me which one will come to see you? I will narrate one incident of mine Like you said - "We slip away (get enticed) when we see things" Let me tell you I think I was in Singapore Airlines - they had sent a business class ticket and I was sitting there The air hostess came They bring that tray with orange juice and champagne so she brought that And she said, "What would you like?" I said, "Nothing, get me a glass of water" I don't prefer juice because there is a lot of sugar in juice It's better you eat oranges directly And then bottled juice is dead juice My simple logic is - whatever is in a packet and whatever is in a bottle is dead food If you eat dead food, you will die soon Eat fresh That which you can peel and eat Peel an orange and keep it at home It goes bad in two hours, by evening it starts giving out a foul smell Who knows when the juice was squeezed out from oranges in a factory and then it went into a bottle Then it went into a truck, etc. and then into a store Then it went into Costco and then you went there and bought it A month old juice - how can it be healthy? So I told her, "No, I don't want juice or champagne" She went and brought me water Then she said, "I have a question" I said, "What?" "What brand you like?" "I need your response so that we can ask our people so that they can give that good brand" "And we are so sorry, we don't have what you like" "So can you tell me which brand you like?" I said, "My dear, I don't drink champagne" "How come?" "Oh my! You don't?" I said, "No" She said, "Why?" I said, "Have you seen a Buddhist monk?" She said, "Yes" I said, "I am similar to that" "Oh! Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha...." I said, "Dear lady, you may leave now!" If you were in her place, Angad Singh then you would have said - "She offered so I had it!" What's the reason behind not drinking champagne? - I know it I don't want juice either - I know the reason for that Then can anyone tempt me? The house I am staying in right now, there is a boy there who has a sports car He said, "I have a Mustang, will you come?" I said, "I am already mast (in absolute bliss) boy, even without that" "You are not contended despite sitting in a Mustang, I am totally blissed out even without sitting in a Mustang" "My entire body is in Divine bliss" "I don't need your sports car, you may go and drive it" Now he was offering with love Because all young boys have a dream of owning a sports car, I want to drive in a sports car Now it's in front of me But it won't work like a bait for me, right? Why? So, you just need to understand all your foolishness Using your intellect and thinking capability on- What should we eat, wear and speak What to do Now he came yesterday so he was wearing a kind of head scarf So, I couldn't recognize him He is a child and his family has been coming to the Ashram for several years They are all lovely people I said to him yesterday, "I saw you without a turban, that's why I couldn't recognize you" In Bharat, I have seen him in a turban so I couldn't recognize him here without a turban Being a sardar, always wear your turban - it's your pride! Why not?! You know, you are like a king When you wear that, you know, your outlook changes It's beautiful So, why not? So, don't stop your mind forcefully If your mouth starts watering looking a chicken tikka, it means you have already eaten it! Now there are many who will think - "OK, since you have said it - we will just eat" So, I know all the ways in which you can be dishonest I will say this...A very good Hollywood film came And it's name is Babe...B-A-B-E It's a story of a pig Please watch that, make your kids watch that...Babe! It's a story of a piglet! He asks, "Why do these humans eat us?" And the turkey says, "It's their thanksgiving so why do they chop off our heads?" Right? Chop off your own! Chop off your kid's neck and decorate it in a plate, roast it and eat! "You know, why are they killing our kids?" It's a lovely film So, when we organize youth retreat in the Ashram We always show them such films After watching it, even the die-hard meat eaters stop eating meat and say - "No, we cannot eat this" It's not Umm... It's not kind thing! When we have option to be kind, then we should be - why not? Umm...there is a very loving, kind of spicy question - I am taking it I will not name the person "I am a single, divorced 50 years lady - I am tired of running around all alone in life" "I am always searching for a life partner" "And, it's the loneliness that kills me" "How can I free myself from the constant urge to be with a man?" You will just have to rise above....! Rise above...again...! Umm...from this fickleness of physical and sensual... And the companionship which you are looking in a man No man can be a good companion until and unless you become your own true companion I have a question for all of you - do you enjoy your own company? Someone was saying, "I am getting bored" so he called someone up - "Hello, what are you doing?" Reply came, "Nothing at all" "OK, then come over - let's have tea together...let's have tea together" Both sat down, both with nothing to do Two people with nothing to do What entertainment they will offer to anyone? Zero plus zero is zero only Zero plus zero will not become one You are bored, she is bored - two bored people means bored square Where will the boredom go? I am not saying, don't meet anyone Ahh... But it will be better if you meet your own self When you become a good friend to yourself Then because of your own happiness, you will be so fulfilled, complete and content with yourself That then you will not miss anyone's presence But when we feel lonely, we feel sad Obviously, you will feel that someone should be there to sit with you There is a saying in Punjabi A fakir (renunciate) was sitting alone, a man came and said, "What! Maharaj you are sitting alone, I will sit with you" "Let me give you company" Fakir said, "I wasn't alone before but now I am" He said, "What do you mean?" Fakir said, "One who is alone is with Lord" The one who is alone is with Paramatman "I was sitting in love of Paramatman" "I was in love, in devotion, in meditation - when was I alone?" "Now you came so I will have to talk to you" "So, I will have to turn my mind outward" "So, I wasn't alone before but I am definitely alone now" Now imagine.... Ahh... That one bhajan I sing describing the love for Lord.. 'Tere naam di mae pivaan' (May I drink the alcohol of your name) 'Mae'- Mae means alcohol Some people think 'mae' is 'I' that 'I am drinking' No, this is 'tere naam di mae'...mae means alcohol 'pivaan, pi pi mast rahan sang tere main jivaan' (May I be in bliss drinking this alcohol and always be with you) Who is 'tere' here? It's not a man or a woman We are not talking about a man or a woman here If you have a man or a woman...then congratulations, it's very good But those who don't have that, don't be sad Befriend the Lord residing within you! That friend is sitting and waiting but you don't even turn and look at Him with your eyes But you keep running after the world "I have no friend, I have no friend...." You should say, "There is no true friend but there are friends" Please give the track May I drink the alcohol of your name May I drink the alcohol of your name May I be in bliss drinking this alcohol and expend living in your Divine remembrance It's the season bearing clouds The drops of ambrosial nectar are falling; it's the season of Divine grace Listen to the yearning of my heart, O dear friend I saw Lord in my Guru, so I bowed down Moon is peeking through the clouds My life was just dragging along, You have taught me how to live In Your love and devotion We are bearing the pangs of separation and wondering when we will get to have your Divine sighting? We have kept all memories of You with great care We are tired searching this entire world... We have kept all memories of You with great care Bereft of seeing you, our eyes cry out in pain There is no peacock in the gardens We have searched the entire world but there is no one like Sadguru- The True Master! One cannot trust time Why do you worry? Don't you have any trust in Lord? All my thirst akin to the worldly desires has got quenched You have colored me in such hues (of Divine love) that the mind has come to standstill May I be drunk in the liquor of Your Divine Name May I always be high on divine bliss May I always be with you May I be blissed out drinking this alcohol of Love and expend living in your Divine remembrance Expend living in your Divine remembrance I feel immense joy in coming here I am very happy to see all your beautiful faces I was able to talk to you, we had satsang and I answered your questions You were able to understand a few things I hope that this will bring new colors in your life Some freedom from worries And the way of living that you learnt here So, may your life be good - this is my prayer for all of you And in the end, I will pray om purnamadah purnamidam purnatpurnamudacyate purnasya purnamadaya purnamevavashishyate om shantih shantih shantih Repeat after me...Sat-chit-anada bhagwan ki jai Sri sadgur deva bhagwan ki jai Repeat after me....sab santan ki jai
