4. You can overcome death in this generation
1 All glory and honour to our
Creator who permeates the whole universe. You just heard Bro. Somasankaram
speak to you. He is a man well versed in Sanskrit and all, and he was working
in Bhilai. He will be here for three days and he will be giving to you more from
the Vedas and Bhagavad Gita.
2 You know, every man has got a
heart. And we have to allow God to enter into that heart. He is standing at the
door and knocking at your heart. Unless you open the heart, He cannot come in.
First of all, you must know who is knocking at the door. Then you must see, why
you are delaying opening the door. And you open your heart, you get the
blessings of God. We are so immersed in the things of this world, we don't give
time to God, to think about Him.
3 When I was a small boy, my idea
was to become a big man in this world. But I never knew that I didn't have the
light of God in my heart. Our heart is like a bulb without a current. We try to
polish the bulb without the current. But when the current comes, the heart is
full of light.
4 Yesterday we gave a mass
prayer. I know many people would have been healed even far away. So we musn't
be healed in the body, but we must be healed in our soul also.
5 You know, God has forgiven so
many things in our life. And it is our duty to forgive other people, for the
love of God in our lives. If you have hatred in your life, that may produce
cancer in your life. Those days I used to hate people. When God touched my
life, I knew that I was able to love people.
6 I could have lived today in
America and other countries, enjoying my life with my children. But what joy I
have received, I want to give it to the people of India.
7 What people can't understand is
- if I say that, ‘Christ’ is God, the whole Christianity will support me. If I
say ‘Bismillah’ and say ‘Allah’, the whole Muslim world will be supporting me.
If I say ‘Narayana’, the whole Hinduism will support me. But when I say, “God
is one; He loves all of us”, everybody will hate us. But God is in none of
these denominations; but God is in a place where there is love.
8 In the time of Lord Krishna,
Arjuna's guru Drona was in the opposite side. He was with the Duryodhana's.
When Arjuna saw them, he simply fainted and said, “My people are there in the
opposite side.” But at the end, those who were with Krishna survived, the
others were killed.
9 I have not come here to convert
you to another religion. I have not come to preach another religion. I don't
belong to a religion. I am sent by God with the message for this generation.
You may say, “What about the other Avatars?”
10 When God came down on
moon-landing day, all the kings fell. So I am giving six months time for all
these religious kings. You have enjoyed with the religion, all right. But now I
have come to seek the real people. (Break
in recording.)
11 I am not asking you to change
your names. I only want to tell you, worship the Creator and not the creature.
Suppose you are a father, if your child takes a dog and tells, “O my daddy”,
how much it will pain your heart! In the same way, God is hurt by our not
worshipping Him. So it's a curse when you worship the creatures.
12 So I am telling the people of
India: Worship the Creator! Then there will be plenty of rain in your country,
and then there will be plenty of blessings in your country! And it is no use
fighting in the name of religion. And today we find, many people have been
killed and homeless in the name of religion. Many worse things are going to
happen in this country and all over the world. But let us wake up to worship
our Creator, not be deceived by the people.
13 Everybody wants to become a
leader. But they have no call on their lives. I didn't come here just leaving
the job. The Lord told me, “Leave the job and serve the people.” My wife and I
were working in the Vellore hospital in a very big job.
14 Today people just think that this
is a good business and jump into that, and then they call, ‘O, they are called
by God’. And they twist the message of God to suit their own tummy. But what
God said in Bhagavad Gita and all these things, in the Bible and all, it will
come to pass.
15 Sri Buddha said, “All is because
of this lust.” But he did not give a remedy to take that lust. That is the
important thing.
16 We can overcome these five senses
without any trouble. It is like crossing a river - you can cross the river of
rebirth by your own effort or get into the boat and then start the engine and
cross it easily.
17 What I am telling is: ‘You can
overcome death in this generation!’ You can become hundred percent holy. And
you can be sinless without any effort. That, no Christianity can give you. It
is revealed only recently. And we know that anybody who believes the message
which we give, will go in glory without death. Try to get our books and read
it.
18 But why I have come here is, when
I touch you, you get the peace. The Christians will say: “Come to Jesus; change
your name; take baptism”, and all kinds of rituals. But God has come to you to
give you a blessing. If you are sick in body, you search your heart. Feel sorry
for your.... (Break in recording.)
19 ....That is the power of Narayana
or Christ Jesus. And that is life. And when you get up, don't think tomorrow,
right there you have the peace. You'll be changed into a different man or a
woman. You don't have to give any money for that.
20 We have not come here to collect
money from you. Because, this is the ministry of God who never collects money.
These forty five years, God has been leading us marvellously. I travelled
around the world nine times, and without any help from anybody, and God has
been providing me.
21 So you trust God. You need not
worry about anything. Don't take your problems on your head. When you get into
the bus, you don't carry your suitcase on your head. Seek God and everything
will be added unto you.
22 If you go to buy potatoes - one
kilo, he will put one or two extras without value. You don't take the two
extras and give back the one kilo. These two are extras only for buying that
one kilo. If you seek God, everything will be added unto you. But if you don't
want God, He will pluck even these extras.
23 One man is walking on the road
with a big bag on his head. A man in the cart said, “Why don't you get on my
cart?” He got into the cart and had the bag still on the head. So the cart man
said, “Why are you carrying that in your head still?” - “Because I think that
your cart will - it is difficult for to carry me, how can it carry my luggage
also?” Then he said, “You fool, my cart can carry you and your potatoes.” We
believe God, but we carry our problems.
24 For forty five years, my problems
are all put in the hands of God. If suppose you have ten thousand rupees, you
can't sleep in the night if you have it on your chest. Put it in the bank, then
you can sleep.
25 Put yourselves in the hand of
God. Surrender your life totally to God. Make a determination that you will be
true to Him, that you will worship Him, not anything created by Him. Then when
I bless you, your sickness will go away very quickly.
26 So I am going to pray for you today.
If anybody wants to contact us, you can write your name and address and put in
those boxes. I want every one of you to sit down; those of you who want to pray
only come through the line, others keep sitting. God bless you. Another thing I
want to tell you. Everybody is free to come here for prayer. I don't want
anybody to block anybody coming. Everybody sit down.
