Guru Purnima Special ----Video 1

Namah shivay. Babaji elucidates the message on Guru Poornima. When darkness prevails, gloom and dejection prevail whereas when the Guru opens the eyes and supersedes the darkness by lighting the lamp of knowledge, happiness prevails. The first step HE says is to become a human and ask oneself what do I want from my life ? This because there has to be a purpose to leading a life more so when one is a yogi. Merely taking things from nature and fellow humans causes indebtedness if one does not believe in reciprocation. Efforts should be made to give rather than take.

Namah shivay. In the follow up video Babaji says that one must be ready to return in lieu of whatever one takes from others. So after self interrogation (Main chahtha kya hun?), one must also ask Main de kya sakta hun uske badley (What can I return in exchange to what I seek?) One must own 100% responsibility for whatever situation one finds oneself in. Blaming others is futile and breeds diseases. It must be realized that others act only as media for happiness or pain inflicted upon us. We attract others through our previous karmas and we have only ourselves to blame if anything wrong or right takes place in our lives.

Babaji lays down principles of Yog: Yam and Niyam. Yam includes Satya (Truth) Ahimsa (Non Violence) and Asteya (Self Dependency). Telling Lies or resorting to falsity even in jest or jokingly gives rise to and nourishes evil forces which bring upon grief and sorrow. So we must always speak the truth to induce positive energies around us.

Namah shivay. Babaji takes over from the 2nd video emphasizing on the second virtue that He wants all to imbibe in themselves ------- Ahimsa or Non Violence. Ahimsa means inflicting pain and suffering on everyone, not sparing one’s own mother in law, daughter in law, near and dear ones. We tend to purify ourselves superficially by abstaining from eating so many food products, not realising that Veg and Non Veg is as per behavior than food items. Brham hatya or killing of any being of nature has been told to be the ugliest of crimes. The broader meaning of Brahma hatya is killing not physically but via negative emotions and dishing out expletives.

He elaborates that one must respect the elderly, one’s own parents, nearest of the kith and kin. Shrugging responsibility of giving love causes karmic debt and in turn causing diseases.

A story has been narrated to explain this very point (see above video for it). All the planets and astrological factors can be made favorable by giving love to one’s own family.

Namah shivay. Babaji dwells on the third aspect of Yam ie Asteya or self dependency. Never eye what is not yours be it money, wealth or any object which you have not earned. Squabbling and wrangles within families for inherited wealth is the sole cause of discontent. If one believes in earning for oneself, all these fights will end. From Yam Baba ji comes to Niyam or rules. He elucidates there must be a time table and orderly manner to everything that one does throughout the day. Without rules, will power of a sadhak also declines.

Rules must be made to regulate the body, mind and emotions as per the STRONG will of the sadhak and not as MIGHT BE comfortable to a lazy person.
Rules and schedule from wake up time, work time table etc must be made to become an achiever. Spirituality is of use only when it is clubbed and gelled well with daily life. After laying out regulations, for one, it should be an endeavor to consciously follow the time table and not become lazy and revert back to a whimsy and flimsy routine.

Namah shivay. Continuing the sermon on having a fixed time table Baba ji says that having a fixed time table helps immensely as the body and mind function in symphony for an effective sadhna and a perfect energy filled day of sakaam karm and achievements galore. A sound body per se can guarantee an effective sadhna and an unfit body wouldn't sustain, leave alone reach God.

Wasting time in drinking tea, watching sensationalist news would get an animal birth in the next incarnation. It is immaterial whether tragic incidents are happening or not. Viewing them is of no purpose. Time and energy need to be channeled on the self instead of the tea and news to ascend.

Babaji also says that as a sadhak we would have to leave all the sources of time wastage and work on our body , cornering TV and all distractions. No pain no gain. To get something one has to give something.

Namah shivay. Babaji reiterates the teachings of previous videos. He lays out the parameter to see whether you are a successful or sad human being. Time table should be such that it should elicit respect from your family.

Time is same for everyone. There are 24 hours for everyone. It’s how we utilize it that it matters. To become successful , we will have to pay the price by making utmost efforts to improve our self—physically, spiritually and mentally by clearing karmas through sadhna.

If we clean ourselves, everyone around will appear clean. That is so because it is our own reflection that we see in others. Upon cleansing karmas and making the mind pure, Divinity, success and prosperity will follow.

Shiva Panchakshara Stotram
