GURUDEV @ GERMAN EMBASSY 

Life need to be with a Rational touch/pitch and with a Spiritual touch !

We convey lot through our vibes more than words!

Its our Vibes, that which improves our vibes Is what I would call Spiritual wisdom!

Anything that uplifts our Spirit, makes us feel happy from Inside thats Spiritual touch!

Are you all here?(Yes)
Do u notice wat is happening in the mind right now?
Says what next? What Next!

There is an Eagerness To Know what Next !
This is a Unique quality of Human Beings!
The Spirit of Enquiry!
The Spirit to know More!

A Scientist says, this starts time down by 45-50yrs!
And thn we get into a sort of routine slumber!

As Children when we are gone, the 1st thing thatt evoked us, that touched us is the Emotion....Connection!

We were Emotionally connected ! And by age of 3 we started wid dis spirit of Enquiry wat is dis? Wat is dat? And kept pestering our Dad and mom,
Why sky is blue, why dis is dat way?

You know we kept throwing questions when the intellect started toning in or started maturing!
And then the culmination of Intellect is awareness!

Is to be aware or that which u call mindfullness or meditative state!
Some people think that #Meditation means Anti-Rational!
I would say No, If u are Irrational you cant even Meditate

Meditation and Spirituallity is a combination of Rational thinking!
So Rational thinking should be promoted to fullest, at the same Time We must also enrich the emotional Intellect of every human being
American psychological association has published a paper in last week or so, they say, The anxiety level of students today as same as those in assylums in 1940s

I usually say Dont worry! But If you have to worry ! Worry about Big things ! Worry about Wat is Happening in World!
Wats Happening in #Iraq !
Its Unbelievable!
And what u see there, it tears ur Heart!
Its so painfull to see that this things happen today in 21st century!Especially with women&Kids!

But at the same Time there is Hope,
It had kindled Love and compassion in Hearts of millions of people

There is fear and mistrust among Communities,
We have started seminars to building the bridges back!
Scars are so deep in hearts&minds and needs to be healed!

Main Problem is lack of education in universal nature of human beings,its an Identity Crisis!!

First formost Part of our Identity should be,
That we are part of one Light, one Living being!
And 2nd should be We are Human beings!
Third could be I am Male or female,
Fourth should be country I belong too Nationality
5th could be This religion or that religion
But when this identity gets reversed,
1st and foremost I identify with the religion or language
That gives rise to the blindness that is the cause of all catastrophes!

In the recorded human history,
The world has been peacefull only for 268yrs
That is only 8% of d time! Just imagine!

No where neither at school or at college teaches us how to make more friends, how to be friendly, how to have sense of belongingness, how to feel urself part of something in which u havent grown, in which u are not brought up!

Is it possible, this questions u need to ask, especially in schools and colleges, we need to create that atmosphere of Togetherness of belongingness!
Do u agree with me?(yess from crowd)

Yes?

See boy or girls, grows up with, goes to school with 50-60students!
U ask them how many friends they have!
U ask any high school boy or Girl, how many friends u have,
They will count in finger 2,3,4,5..!
Ask a question to them hey come on,
If u cant be friendly with 50 kids , how can u be friendly with 7 billion ppl when u comeout of this school!
I started dis programme with 7Golden Rules,
One of the rules i would ask is Make 1 new friend everyday, that will make ur personality glow, ur personality very friendly, ur personality expand,
Jst go and say hello to someone u don't know!
And I tell u, this has worked wonders..

Otherwise we see these days, in class rooms, there is violence in schools, there are incidences, and parents dont feel very safe sending there kids to school,
And often school teachers are depressed coz they find classroom atmosphere is so hostile!

We need to inculcate human values back into the society!
Infuse it.. that with which we were all born with! Friendliness, basic human values!

In India,We have always thought of "One world family"-Vasudhaiv kutumbakam , Saw the whole world as one family!so even now all journalists ask me, why you went to Iraq at this time, I said when we have been saying, one world family
We have to walk the talk, it cannot be just dry philosophy, it has to be a part of our lives and it is ! So how can we not feel for people who are suffering in any part of the world,
It is just human! And that is the reason why Germany, france, italy, England, America, every country is taking interest in all
the '______' zones,

Ofcourse its little far away for India to reach there, but there is sumthing India can do, that is bring them the wisdom of uniting hearts and minds,
Material comfort anybody can provide, but
To unite ppl's hearts and minds, it needs certain skills!
Certain wisdom which I would call spiritual values or human values,
So that is there here in India, so I thought we should bring it back,Infact when we spoke to the PM of kurdistan and Iraq..
I said, what is it that u xpect from India?
They said 3 things,
1 is The Art of Living in Diversity which India has mastered
People of so many different languages, dilects, religions, they all live together in harmony,
We need this Art, this education to our youths!
2nd We want IT education, India is known for its IT education and we need our youths to be trained in IT
3rd thing Its not so imp, we would like Indian business man to come and invest and take care of  oil here,
But first and foremost they said is of spiritual wisdom is what we expect from India! Thats most priority!
The way to relieve stress and tension that everyone must learn, As I told today we convey a lot through our vibes than words! I can standup here and talk about love for 2hrs but the little dog in ur house in just 30secs, a baby just looking into ur eyes will convey wat love is!
So, we havent learnt neither at school nor at college,
How to improve our vibes, how to radiate that friendly atmosphere around us, and there are techniques like
Yoga, meditation and breathing,
Engaging in service activities, all these would help to cleanse and bring our mind to present moment!

In present moment !
And we have positive vibes that emit around us,& this is what I would call as spirituality,
Anything that send positive vibes around u, which brings back the hope and which can put the smiles back on all those teary faces,& this is possible when we tap into our true resources which is deep within us!
In Germany there is story of "________",
Some people they built a home and forgot to keep a windows
& there were no windows , then they were all sitting outside with a Gunny bag and baskets and catching sunlights,
Someone asked wat are you doing?
They said,We are taking sunlights inside, coz thrs no sunlight inside! So these little stories convey a lot to us,
That our forefathers weather in India, or Germany or France,Italy or south America, They all had wisdom!
They all spoke something from their life experiences,
This is as simple as it, u don't have to bring sunlight,
U can't catch sunlight and bring it to the room,
U simply have to open the windows , U cant be closed,
U cant leave in a shell which has no windows,
And in today's generation seem to be living ,
They are living in small shells, without looking out,
We dont Know how to look In and even look out !
And this education is very imp!
Wat do you think?  Do u agree with me!!

Today the technology has made the world shrunk into a village & it is Spirituality that is Going to make it into a family!
We all need to feel, we are all one family,
We are part of one human race!
That togetherness, that emotional enrichment in each one of our lives will keep away depression,which is going to be the biggest killer in coming 20yrs, WHO has already given the report, the biggest killer in world would be depression,
Depression is because there is lack of connectivity,
There is lack of emotional connection !
Living a dry life just with formalities, leads into depression!
What do u say? Yaa! We need to wakeup nd take a call on dis and its wonderful that a birthday celebrated in this manner, bringing every1 together , beautiful singing and thinking of the vital aspects of life
In Indian languages, In Sanskrit, birthday is called Vardhanti, U know wat is meaning of vardhanti?
Many Indians may also not know wat is vardhanti!
Vardhanti means Exponential Growth!
We have outgrown the time, another name for it is
Jayanti, (one person sitting here's name is jayanti;) laughter) That is victorious  , u have been victorius over time, time is trying to eat ur enthusiasm and you are not allowing that to happen, you are keeping ur enthusiasm and moving ahead..Time is like Death! But wen you win over the time, I.e. you successfully maintained all those things that you are born with,- i.e.Joy, Enthusiasm, Love, compassion, sense of oneness with everybody around you!
A child possesses all these qualities,
A baby smiles 400 times a day, and adolescent only 17 times and adult doesn't smile do often��!
As a baby we were smiling so often, what happened?
U see the joy in faces of kids wjen they are going to school,
And then in high school, is it increasing or reducing?
And then u see when they are coming out of college,
Are they really bubbling out with enthusiasm?
No.....The cloud of worry has already descended on them!
And then anyone who takes some responsible position,
See how they get pout down by worries!
But  is there anything that can lift this up and make u shine and mke u smile like a child again? Then Taht is real growth! That is jayanti! So every birthday one is reminded that Look-you have won over the time, you have crossed one more year, you are not going close to death but you are going towards immortality!
You will be Remembered forever , for what you are!
So jayanti, like Gandhi jayanti is celebrated every year!
Jayanti means Victory! And culmination of victory,
For victory also U need some opposing force to fight!
But Jayanti is there is no oppsition , winning without n opposition, or a victory without conflict, without struggle and thats wat birthday is all about!

U see on the birthday one remembers that,
I am not just the body!
I m the spirit, lively spirit!
Which is made up of Love, compassion, enthusiasm and enormous energy!
U know, like the wave remembers , I m the ocean..
And then the wave gains the strength of the ocean!
Of course here in India we believe in Reincarnation,
That is we have been here many times and we will be here many more times as well!
So we are part of an ocean of existence from which we have come, and birthdays are celebrated for the wave to remember its origin, I.e. ocean!! So once again
A very Happy Birthday...Look at the child like smile in both of them! Thats really inspiring!

The older we get, we need to be more content and Satisfied!!! At the same time be very Dynamic!

And wish once again a very happy birthday, more
Contentment and more action as the days come!

Do we have questions?  We will take that!
So are you all happy?(Yesss frm crowd and cheers and claps)

Guruji, how to handle negative people  around you?
wish good for them, let them get over negativity as soon as they can..I think that’s the best way to deal with them. suppose you were so negative and you didn’t even realise that..now you have a chance and they teach you what you should not be doing..so you should thank them. people who are -ve.There’s  a proverb that says that Salute the wicked ones, then the good ones..He is teaching u a lesson by falling into a pit and warning you, that don’t do what i have done..Next….

what is the question that I need to ask?
Who am I?need to keep asking it and whatever answer you get, just reject them..none of them is correct. (claps and cheers!)..and when u get the correct answer, there will be no more questions (more claps!).

what is the real purpose of life?
one who knows will not tell you, and the one who tells who will not know..this very question is a driving force is a vehicle which teaches you ..

Q, Guruji , there has been a huge network of united nation..UN has not led to peace and harmony among nations?
Atleast  there have been efforts..There are a quite a few inter-peace dialogues happening in almost every corner of the world..dialogues happening even  bahrain but they are not quite enough..

I am an Indian and have come after 25 years. how do we balance the concept of soul...how do we see oneness in everybody? …(Something something- not clear)
G: what is your question?? (laughter!!)
G prompts: Is there an individual soul?

You have a television at home? Yes?! you have many channels..each channel has a particular vibration..thats an individual soul  and the electricity through which television works is the big mind, or big soul. so the big electricity has specific wavelengths..did i answer your ques?

What is that thing that separates us from each other..from your travels across the world, what do u think is one element from your experience which nevertheless binds us together and brings us together?

Love…

Im from Europe in western philosophy, famous sentence in latin wisdom..man is wolf to the other’..can you please elaborate on that?

Many of these sentences and wisdom have come with time and experience..they belong to a time when man was an enemy to man,,so it is correct in a way that only man is destroying mankind...animals are not coming and destroying or harming mankind..wars are between man..without wisdom..without sense of compassion.that’s correct..

I must mention that 3 yrs back  I got to travel in a flight from frankfurt to india ...I want to now what is the most vital thing to balance our inner and outer worlds…
u’know when u are losing balance something pinches you..just be aware of that, that alone is good enough..if u are too much self centred, and if u care not caring for your family and are only doing social service, you feel a pinch.pinch is what brings u back into balance..best is not to justify the pinch…

namaskar,Guruji,I am  pearl… i know little about spirituality..when we try and apply at home is possible ..at work it gets so complicated..Sometimes i get forced to tell lies, and this makes you not fully practice your faith and knowing......then you have to manipulate also...etc.

tell me how many times u said lies and got caught? when you lie, you  feel so nervous..they can make out by your body language and other things..why do we even try that then? if it doesn’t work then why to do it?..sometimes we are brought in a situation that we cannot lie..So just be natural..even after lying we are not in a good situation..just be in your element...So in a workplace, just be spontaneous..I’ll say just three things,one is clarity in mind, purity in heart, and sincerity in action…

Kaju katli of India and speciality of Germany -many things..
at the same time, there is uniqueness also..same material..same sugar and almonds..we put a little silver on it..and even they  in Germany pack it so nicely..

My question is about expectations..we have a lot of expectations from other people and vice versa..half the time in life is going in fulfiling each other’s expectations..please guide..what to do?
see you do what you can do...if something expects something from you that you cannot fulfill, then only smile and ask for forgiveness..then you  can only say sorry...c’mon how can you feel guilty? if u are not a doctor, and  they exp you to treat them, how can i treat you my dear? So nothing emotional by it...Keep clarity in mind and purity in heart..then sincerity of action will  follow..you’ll do the best thing then.

Guruji i met u in Kashmir..you told me that time that whenever there is a problem, you can give it to me anytime anywhere..(something) Are you angry with me?
Not at all. It’s not easy to win my anger...just be relaxed..you write to me about any problem..no problem!!

Guruji, all over there are so many conflicts...anxiety and  tension..many of them have been genesis in misrepresentation of religion and faith..would u like to consider any event under your guidance ?

we have been doing that all time. and are lways committed to bring ppl together..

During the talk, emphasis was on universal human values..in the present era, we have educated ppl but  it seems they have lost sight..so can we have ppl accountable and what are the best means or methods to inculcate human values...Can moral science education can focus on this?

Its personality development that will make you free from fear...and then u’ll be honest..to yourself and others..

See.I cannot reduce your fat, reduce your carb intake then, that’s for you to do...similarly, you’ll find, i’ll give you another example - suppose it’s raining.. rain s destiny but  to get wet is free will..

I am Seema, a social worker and do a lot of work outside my house.Sometimes, I get v rude to my workers and helpers at home and that leaves me with a lot of guilt..
U know priorities are always linked with time..you can’t fix priorities with time..if someone is sick at home and if you have to take care of someone else outside, then your priority is misplaced. it’s with saturation of time..you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you are able to balance both..if not one time, you should be able to compensate another time..

I am a student and I don’t know how I will turn out in future..Guruji, how do u remember your childhood, your adoloscence and your youth?
I think my youth is not gone, it’s still there.. (claps!)
I’m still a child..as a student, I would tell you - dream bigger..just have big dreams and stick to it..work towards it..

Are  past karmas  more important or our present life karmas?

See, life is a  combination of both free will and destiny..I’ll share an example, your height does not alter after 21 years...no? See this is karma..this is destiny but your weight ,you an increase or decrease anytime u want..so your weight is free will and your height is your destiny..(laughter!)

Q.My name is sonal. I have been pursuing spirituality and I realise that till 10th standard, there was an inner voice and then in college i became rebellious..(G interrupts saying I got it!)

See, its better not to follow such things since it is very vague..you speak to our teachers here, they’ll say it can lead to delusion also so don’t pay too much attention to it..Sometimes, your own desires come to you as voice. So go with your rational mind...your own intuition will rise when you meditate more! Should we do a short meditation of 10 mins?? Yes…

Bhopal Gas tragedy completes 30 yrs..how to help those victims?
You can get help from our teachers who run trauma care, they can help them to get their emotional health better
