Veera Hanuman ki Jai

Today’s Sri Chakra Puja, Ganapati Homa, and Satsang are all very powerful. Every day, every second is powerful. Life itself is so. Every morning upon waking up, thank God for being alive and for breathing. View the sun and the moon and the divine play of God and be grateful. God has given family by His grace. Even sorrow comes by His grace. During the time of grief, is God happy about it? Yes. That is why He gave it, for your benefit.

“I am your child, God. My breath is by your grace. My body, my sense organs they function by your divine play. I am very happy because of your gift. Today I am happy to see my children. Good. My son and daughter in law are quarreling. That also is your play. My karma is different from the karma of others. The responsibility of my children ceases when they are eighteen years of age. It is your responsibility after that. I am happy for them when they are happy. But my life is on its way out. I should not weep for them.” This is how your attitude should be.

Do not keep worrying about your children. You gain nothing. You are only inviting sorrow upon yourself. You waste your entire life committing sins and weeping about children. Then what? Where will you be reborn? In which womb? Your future address is what? You have any relatives there? Your karma. How old are you? Not yet 100. By age ninety, many do not even recognize their own children. You spend all life dedicated to children. Not even a day have you dedicated for your own spiritual growth.

The children do not care about your grief that you are crying because of them. Both the children and you are in darkness. Not even a day have you wholeheartedly prayed to God. You come to Guru. You tell about children and cry.
Children were born in your womb because of your and their karma. After they are 25 you are no longer responsible for them. Cry for God. Cry about your own journey. Wonder about your soul and its future. Think about future births of yours.

God gives everything. Even poor people have homes, television and they are quite happy. They may only eat one meal a day. But 99% are happy and contented. You have so many possessions, bungalows, but no satisfaction. Always you are crying. No matter how much you have, you are not happy. You have a thousand, you want a lakh. You have one house, you want to add more floors, more rooms. You have a lakh. You want more. Always worry and anxiety and finally death. What is the use? Regardless how poor you are, be happy. Have faith in God.

“All this is your play. I am only a puppet in your hands. You want me to laugh, I laugh. You want me to cry. I will cry. If you give sweet. I enjoy.” Inside you feel like that. Do not say it out loud. Inside your mind a volcano is erupting. Your strength of mind must grow. Pretend with children as if you have great attachment for them. They will be happy. But in your mind, be detached. Your secret bank, you secret Yama with his accountant Chitragupta are inside your conscience. Use your intellect only, with discretion you make plans. Not with emotions. Otherwise you waste life.

You need Guru that is why. Guru’s words and training are very tough. I have gone through it. I speak from personal experience. Everything I have seen, whatever my devotees are experiencing. All good devotees receive my darshan in their dreams. I speak with them in their dreams.

My incarnation and way are different. I am neither priest, teacher, Guru, ascetic, nor God. No one knows except me, what Swamiji is.

How many people are in Delhi? Swamiji has selected only a few who are here now. Because of the relationship from past lives, you are here with me now. In your mind you pray, following the command of God. God has brought you here. You have not come on your own. Who are you? You are nothing. It is by His will, that you have come. Your devotion and blind faith are because of God’s grace. The faith is not blind faith. It is out of awareness that you have come to Swamiji. Our relationship is getting stronger. God tells me, your devotee is coming. Give him guidance and blessing. We are all instruments in the hands of God. Perhaps I am only an elder child of God and so I take the responsibility as if you are all my younger siblings. I am the elder brother to you, who is like a father to you. God, my Father is commanding me to take care of you. You are all crying for money, for marriage, for so many problems.

God has given me a very tough mission. I am not God. You are not God. Only He, who is invisible is God. If seen, then He is not God, only an aspect of God.

We will all together pray to Sadguru Hanuman, Lord Dattatreya and Mother Kali. Senior and junior devotees have experienced their blessings and grace.

My senior devotee Kailas Talwar is here from Delhi. Speak to him; He will tell you. I am telling him to make it brief. Because he has a habit of telling a very long story. Good story. But people have no time to listen to all the details. He knows about me. Every experience of his, is great. It tells the story of Guru. All of Avadhuta Gita and Guru Gita is his experiences. It is not easy to understand his experiences.

So much treasure you all have with your divine experiences. Wake up, based on those. Open the third eye. Open the fresh sense, and know who you are, and what you should do with your life.

So many are sleeping the sleep of darkness and ignorance. Wake up from that sleep. You think your ignorance is everything, your buildings, your children, that you are submerged in. You are emptyhanded when you go to Vaikuntha. Physical service alone is not enough, although it is good. You do not grow just with that. With mind, and contemplation, and awareness you must do service. All children are Maya/illusion.

That is why in the olden days, they gave children the names of God, so that by calling the name, they earn merit. Ajamila was such a sinner. Forgot his rituals, and even his Brahmin birth. One day, he became very ill. His hands and feet were out of his control. There was no one to care for him. In his last breath, he remembered his son. He called him by name, “Narayana, where are you?” He breathed his last. Messengers came from Vaikuntha, sent by Vishnu. They came to take him. Messengers also came from Yama, god of Death. They claimed that this man is a sinner, who tormented many people. But, in the last breath, he remembered Narayana by uttering the name of God. He was only calling his son. But the sound uttered is name of God. Vishnu Himself came. So did Yama. They discussed and Ajamila went to Vaikuntha.

That is why, whether remembering or not remembering, always utter God’s name. Waking up, you only think of money, daughter in law, quarrels, and strife. She will scold and kick you. You have done so much for her and she will not be grateful. That is why give good names for children. Savitri, Gayathri, Narayana, and so on. These days, names are given such as: Tubelight, Train. Meaningless words are given as names for children.

Some are named Satyanarayana or Dharmaraja. But they may be the worst crooks.

Sri Guru Datta
