1. HAVE YOU EVER THANKED GOD?
Everybody wants to think in his own way, that God will come in
his own thinking.
These are days when there is the fight among Avatars. But if God
has sent somebody God has to vindicate and fight for him. But God has to come
according to the books which He has written through the prophets. Then only we
can believe it. Because, His books - God's books will never tell a lie.
And today, with the power of God, you can get the shanthi1 which
people cannot get these days, without going to jungles and yogappiasm. Bhagavad
Gita says: “Thousand people may do yoga, only a rare one will get the peace.”
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter VII, verse 3.) But today everybody does yogic exercises
and say they don't have peace. The peace can come only from God.
In my travel round the world, I
found out the good people are very poor and bad people very rich. So all over
the world, there is inequality and injustice - there is inequality and no
justice. But every religious books say: ‘There is going to be a dharma yuga, or
millennium, or good age.’
I also found out, for the sake of
money, a man will tell any kind of lie. He will even sell his god. Another
thing - if you preach the truth from the Vedas and books, you have no place in
any religion.
Many people, they don't realize that
there is an evil power also, that can possess man's body. And they do so many
things which they don't want to do.
This is an age when science is
improving; and spiritually we are also increasing. And we also see in the Vedas
and books or holy books, that God created this world by His mouth - by the
Word. If He can create the world by His word, He can destroy the world also by
His word.
If you see Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna was
asking Sri Krishna to show His primal form. (Bhagavad Gita chapter XI, verses
45 - 54.) Then He showed His terrible form. Then he asked again to show His
kingly form. Then His
gentle form. That gentle form was not
Sri Krishna's form. But the Hindus mistakenly think that that was Krishna's
form, but that was not Sri Krishna's form. Because, Krishna was standing there.
That
was the gentle form OF THE KALKI MAHA AVATAR - the millennium
King, as well as the destroyer of the world.
So if we think that there is only
one God, we have no other option but to love our brethren. But this love, only
God can pour into our lives. So today, we tell you that the great Light is
available today.
God
has to give him peace unconditionally.
OVERCOMING DEATH
In these days, God knows who are His
people. He has come for your protection. Man has been dying and dying, dying,
so he always thinks death as a friend. We must think whether we were created to
die in the beginning. If God is eternal, how can He create a being which is not
eternal?
Many people, when they die, they
preserve their bodies for three thousand years. I saw a mummy, three thousand
years old, in London. It's a beautiful girl. And there was a small bottle
containing the tears of that family. It is evaporated and gone; but that bottle
is there. All these people buried their bodies with the hope that one day they
will get their body back. Was man created like that in the beginning?
We are put in a body which is of five senses. But if you go on
in these five senses, we have to die. If you can control the five senses, then
you can attain perfection.
The great Buddha found out, the
cause is the ‘desire’. But he never gave the medicine for that. I can always
say, the reason is desire. But have your overcome? Many people tried to control
the five senses and they failed. If you fail, that doesn't mean that there is
no hope.
One day typhoid had no hope. There
was no medicine found out. Many of my friends died of typhoid. When chloromycetin
was found out, it was easy to overcome typhoid. If man could have strong hope,
why can't we have strong hope for overcoming death?
THANKING GOD
Now see, God gave sun, the moon, stars, air to breathe and nice
rain. Does He charge any money for that? But you see the religion, everywhere
they cry for money, money, money, when God is giving everything free. They
behave as if without money God will die. But God gives everything free.
If you don’t get one little breath
properly, you die. Have you ever thanked God for that? When He has given so
many things free to you, you never respect the giver of that.
Suppose a man gives you a job, you
say, “Thank you, thank you”; he gives a lift in the car, you say, “Thank you,
thank you”; but did you ever thank God for what He has given free to you?
That's the greatest sin of man, and you have made your heart dark. That's why
all these desires, everything came into him. And when a man starts thanking God
for all these free gifts, he has come one step higher spiritually.
So I want you to meditate on the
free gift of God in your life and go on thanking Him. You may be a Hindu, or a
Muslim, or a Christian, or you may not have any God, or you an atheist, but if
you don't have peace, I'll bless you and you see, you'll get the peace. You may
be a very bad man; you may be a drunkard, you may be put out in society, you
are my friend. You come and get that peace and go; what a change it will bring!
These meetings are not for very good people - for only bad people and very bad
people.
God wants us to be healthy and prosper in this life. God never
sends sickness to man. God is a good God. He wants your love. Won't you come to
Him and see? He wants thanks from you, for all what He has done for you. He
wants recognition for all these things which He has done for you and for a nice
life He has given you.
