 If you have interest and if you have keen desire, what we call in Hindi, Vyakulta or Tadap, nothing can stop us. And especially, when you have the Tadap restlessness to achieve the highest, you have to have that level of Tadap. We are not saying that you live your home. We don't want you to become Merabai living your Anaji. You can be with Anaji and help him also evolve, meditate together. Our Bhautik Jeevan, earning money, looking after family, community at large. We should remain busy with both spirituality, Adyatmikta, Bhautikta, which is our material life. What has to go hand in hand? No access of any. I should not go into spirituality also so much that my work life suffers, of course. I should not go into work life also so much that my spirituality suffers. Both have to be integrated. Babaji Maharaj, my Guruji used to say very often that these both existences, the plane of spirituality and plane of material world, they are like two wings of a bird. Can a bird fly with one wing? If one wing is longer than the other, what will happen? It will go only in circle. And until that balance happens in our life, we will go on circling. And this circling in our tradition is known as Kal Chakra or the Chakra of life and death. The moment you achieve the balance, you are no longer in circle. It is because your two wings are not in balance. They go like this. If one wing is heavier, it will go like this. If this wing is heavier, it will go in the opposite direction. If they are in balance, it can go straight up. That is evolution. How does a bird guide itself to go straight or in circle? How does it navigate in the space? It's the tail. Tail of a bird is very important, like a radar of an airplane. Which is the tail or the radar in our human existence? It is the heart that tells us what to do, what not to do. And as our sister already explained that I am aware that I have to eat right. I am aware that I have to exercise, yet I am not able to do it. You know whose condition are you describing? The rodents. The reason told Lord Krishna, Hey Krishna, I know what is good for me and I also know what is bad for me. He says, I know what is Dharma, but I am not able to take into action. I also know what is Adharma, what I should not be doing, yet I cannot free myself from it. It's very familiar. There is Duryodhan in every one of us. We have to create love. We have to create that restlessness to achieve the goal. That doesn't mean that Arjuna was better than Duryodhan or this or that. He was better in one sense, that he remained loyal to Krishna. He could not also follow Lord Krishna properly. That's why all the person, Gita was a product of this confusion. If Arjuna was not confused, we would not have been reading this Gita at all. So thanks to Arjuna, we have some wisdom giving book. Anyway, we go on to the next question, please. Sure, Daji. So finally Auroville has been able to join us. So Sister Dolly, you are there. Would you be able to share some questions that we have from the group there? Hello, sir. Hello, Luka. Thank you, Luka. Somebody is asking, how shall we collaborate more effectively and deeply within spiritual school in these modern times? What those are called for? Which schools are you talking about? Well, today nowadays is Auroville in hard-fullness. But generally there is a trend that all spiritual people collaborate together in a concert like Mother India, as the mother of all spiritual school as the bacon of light for all humanity are plifting. I think individuals can make a difference if someone likes the philosophy. Auroville is offering philosophy, theology, grants knowledge. It is great. We need to have a practical experience of how we move in the field of consciousness. It's altogether a different matter. And how we move from one level of consciousness to another level of consciousness knowingly, not while sleeping, not meaning, not while remaining unaware, not while Guru or the master is doing his work and you remain unaware and all of a sudden you think that, oh, you have been elevated. No. Journey into self, our interior, is always taken by an individual. Masters can help. Institutions like hard-fullness, Auroville and many such great institutions, there are no lack of it. There are thousands and thousands of institutions in our country. I have found one thing which is very sad. That terrorists have tremendous unity. If one terrorist in one particular country finds a bomb to finish off one city, if someone finds a chemical to hurt large number of population they hate, they would sell this technology without fear, without asking for anything in return. Terrorists have greater understanding between them. They have a common goal to maximize the destruction. But amongst gurus of various systems, even members of various systems, they are at crossroads. They think I am better than the other. Multiple gurus from different places, organizers and they can't even sit together and discuss things peacefully. They don't talk very frankly. So bringing many systems together, it's a great ideology practically. Which Guru would say, go give this Guru, Dakshinath, the other fellow. There is another Guru waiting. Everyone wants to increase the strength of their flock, trying to say we have millions of people in our organization. It is also very sad to see at Auroville, 150 years since the birth of Ujjya Sri Aurovindo. Thousands, millions of people are aware of him. But how many are at Pondicherry celebrating his birth anniversary? How many have gathered to celebrate this auspicious occasion, remembering him with love? This is not a criticism. This is an observation. Institutions have policies. They have their individual philosophies. Individuals have their own radar from within their hearts whether to practice this or whether to practice that. Let your heart suggest which is good for me. If you find something better than heartfulness, move away from it. If the Guru cannot deliver something that you cherish, find another Guru. And I keep saying this. And our Guru's tradition is also like that. When Babaji Maharaj established this Sriram Chandra Mission in 1945, he says, during my life, I can serve you all. But after I am gone, forget me. There will be someone associate yourself with that personality. The same personality under the name of Chariji. He also repeated the same thing, that during my lifetime I can serve you all. Because you need interactions. You need some level of personality exchange. They have to be in osmosis. The departed soul of the Guru is like the God. Can God interfere in my existence? No, because they don't have a mind. They don't have a body. There is no willpower. You need willpower to allow your sankal power to move your willpower to happen something, make it happen in a particular direction. You need a living entity. I also say the same thing. I don't consider myself worthy as a Guru. But the job has been given to me to work spiritually worldwide. After I am gone, just forget me. There will be someone entire or not with that person. And don't let go of it. Because it is the living master who can guide us. After, if there is no living master, the system becomes a skeleton. Essence remains non-existent. We remain in memory. We remain busy with books and philosophies. But practical experience will be lacking. How to proceed? I don't think Mrs. Jainthi, who is administrating the organization that can make the decision, because this is an individual decision. Nevertheless, I welcome your idea. Thank you. Brother Luka, would you like to ask one more question? And then we can open some questions to the floor. Maybe I don't think they can hear us. We will come back. Mayuri, you had your hand raised up. I would like to unmute yourself and ask the question, please. And if you could keep it short. Thank you. Greetings. Greetings, sister-in-law. Greetings to you too, sister-in-law. You have supported my life like flowers. And you have taught me to love myself and others. So my question is, why don't we abandon our love? There is nothing to teach. You become yourself. Like the sun's rays spread everywhere. The rose's fragrance spreads everywhere. The rose doesn't say, I will only go towards Meiru. Whenever a flower blooms, its fragrance goes non-selectively to everyone. Whenever we are sitting alone in the house, then will the love of the heart stop? Whenever there is no one, then whom should we love? So heart should always be releasing its fragrance. Be bubbling, be joyful. And it is this joyful bubbling of the heart that radiates love. Can a sad heart share love? It cannot. Being grateful to God is always this. Be thankful for this existence. Keep smiling. And that is love to me. Keep smiling. Next one, please. Yes. I think Auroville is back. Brother Luka, could you please ask your question? Okay. I think they're still having network issues. Anyway, we'll have one last question. Then we meditate. Yes, Daji. We have Akash who's also redesigned. So Akash, could you please unmute yourself and ask your question? Thank you. My name is Daji. Can you hear me? Yes. Ask your question. Thank you. First of all, thank you for all your service and guidance. I'm in Bangalore working in the healthcare sector. My question is that in our night prayer, we say that we are yet slaves of our bishops, putting bar to our advancement. But in our youth, we have our success, our goals, in which there are many materialist schools and we have to make everything out of our homes. So sometimes it feels like on the cross road. So at this time in the youth, our materialistic goals, our success, our mindset and our heartfulness how we can approach and deal with this dilemma. It's confusion. It used to trouble me also for many years together. There's a difference between performing one's duties and desiring something. My duty as a student and I'm studying and I like to see excellent results. Will desiring an excellent result give you great results? No. A wise person will say, I got to work hard. If you work hard, then the idea that I must have great results will not be there. To serve my parents, is it a desire? No. It is my duty. To serve my country, is it a desire? No. It's my duty. How can I serve my parents, serve my family, serve my country? If you become a beggar, will you be able to serve your family or country? Instead, you will become a burden. So fulfilling one's duty is not at crossroads if I want I must do. When you have a good meal at home, you enjoyed your meal so much. Yet there is this complaint to mother, why didn't you make Gulaj Jamun? Why didn't you give me Paratha as you wrote it? You see what I'm trying to say, I would like to marry, but I like to marry only someone who is looking like this. That can create problems for you and your future wife. So we have to become wiser in thinking, determining our trajectory. There is nothing wrong when you say, I am going to make crores and crores of rupees. There is nothing wrong at all because I am going to contribute this wealth or the welfare of so many things, welfare of the institutions we are associated with, welfare of our country. You know, I have seen many people making tons and tons of money on marriage day this burned 50 crores, 60 crores, 100 crores just like that. But they will fight with their cook, they will fight with their drivers, they will fight with their maid for 10 rupees. So desiring such wealth, which you are going to use only to fulfill your greed and arrogance, this wealth will become poison for you. That's why desiring something, it depends. You desire but what is the purpose of it? What is the motive, your intentions behind it? That will determine the quality of your desire and the end product of your desire. Then fundamental question is, should I not desire God? Should I not desire liberation? Should I not desire evolution of my consciousness? But these are not desires. These are my duties to love my maker, to be one with my maker and assuring that my maker is proud of me. When will he become proud? Only when I transform my lower basal nature and evolve. So we have to, there's nothing wrong in desiring. What will you do after the fulfillment of desire and by what means are you fulfilling desires? See the means first. Can I exert myself fulfilling that dream? Am I capable of? And involve God, involve the master in everything that you do. Suppose you are studying, study as if your master is helping you study. Study in such a way that you are trying to make your parents and the great master and the God happier. Then the unknown force will channelize in your heart and mind and you'll become better in the process. The key thing is karma. There is a beautiful saying in Sanskrit. Udhya me nahi karyani siddhianti natu mano rathescha Subtena sihena murga natu pravisantim regaha It only means this. Udhya me nahi karyani siddhantim regaha Not just through aspirations. One has to work towards it. Hard work. If the aspirations were true, then it will be like a lion's imagining that the deer are falling in his mouth. They just run into his mouth. It's not going to happen. Work, work and work. That is the motto for existence. Thank you, Ji. Thank you. Now we'll meditate. Please start meditation. That's all. Thank you, Daji, for another session. I know you've had a very, very long day with lots of productive things. So we're not going to keep you for long. I hope you have a lovely week ahead. And thank you, everyone, for joining us from Auroville and also the banks who joined us through the weekend. Thank you, everyone, and looking forward to seeing you all and seeing you, Daji, during the Bandara. Thank you. How to live an inspired life? How to set the inspiration, especially with the children?
