“Attention means that the energy from the Bhakti, but originally always…”
Attention means that the energy from the Bhakti, but originally always comes from Vishuddhi only. Even to Bhakti, when you’re awaken, it comes from Vishuddhi only. Maybe directly you will not realize that spot. You may not be, you may not identify that spot because you want it only from the name, so you may have it but otherwise but originally it comes from Vishuddhi only.
Not many if you chant any name with faith will have energy, but again from Vishuddhi only. That’s why these people will chant [TAMIL?] and all those things, but many. Especially the south Bharatns will be surprised. If you.. all the way with, all the suddenly if you go there there is a small statue and small temple. Our village will have much bigger temple than this.
That’s what I told you in the Himalayas the destination is not important. The goal is not important, path itself is important. Enjoy the whole travel. That is the whole thing here. Enjoy the whole trekking. That is the whole thing, not the destination. I told in the temples are not even... Murti and all, will be brought back here after three months because anytime the temple will be washed away by that landslide. So, it is not temple that is important, it is the travel that is important. You can see just an inch. Believing one horse and giving your whole life. Now you can really believe Master and give your whole life.
When you can believe a horse and give your whole life, can’t you believe a master and give…..[inaudible] and all the, lot of things are now understood. You see, only if you see the awesome nature, you will understand that we are such a small beings, we are not big guys.
See as long as you are living only in the society, the society runs around you. You think you are a big person, you are an important person, self-centered. Here nobody, only after leaving the... saying all this nature, you will understand you are just nobody. You are one small ant. Even if you die, there is nobody to bother.
[00:Participant speaking]: “I got some good pictures of the ant farms and people in the traffic jams. He’s on his Pony you know and everybody... The police are pushing everybody downhill, blowing their hearts and their ponies are running down. You know and then all the baskets of fruit..”
You can’t imagine them, only three four feet road and two, three, four is travelling and people working. Begin shouting [00:inaudible 3:25-3:28] and people hitting each other. Very difficult. It is just by God’s grace only can go and come back. Purely depending on God’s grace nothing else can be done.
This all, this clothes makes me.. makes me feel the boundary. That's why I don’t wear all these things and the answers were casually. They are carrying lives and that also important engineers, doctors from society who are great people. God saved them. Otherwise they’ll have tension and pressure, they will simply fall into that, because they don’t have tension or pressure they go just silently and come back. And the beauty is that, even the local administration, they did not take tax for my deli, they said: ”other language [00:04:42-04:44]” They did not have the tax, local tax which they charge, they did not take. So much a respect for Sadhus. In Tamil Nadu they would have charged three times more.. give, give...
Listen dear devotees this is the lowest altitude which we have traveled. All the other places are more altitudes. At least four thousand, five thousand feet more. This eleven thousand only. Other things around fourteen or fifteen. But you will not feel as a travel because now you are accustomed. See, one astrologer told one guy: ”First seven years you’ll have Shani Dasha. Next two and a half years you have Rahu and after two and a half years you have Ketu. Then this guy say: ”So after that I will become alright? No, no you will become Abiyeti. You are Abiyeti. So now you know you are Abiyeti [00:05:51].
Oh now I wanted to give the same clothes which I am using. Same dye, same clothes. This is actually designed by me directly. This is not the usual Swamis wear. Usual Swamis wear are a little different orange. I designed for my complexion. So this shade is designed by me.
I chose and then the clothes also. It’s the same clothes which I use. Cotton, you don’t need anything else. It'll be thick enough to protect your body and two three shades I tried. Two-three. Finally I decided not only colours, the thickness of the clothes also. So the Nithya fashion designing. I wanted to give the same colour. Let’s say, the same clothes we ordered and brought it.
[00:Participant speaking]: “Swami, I've alway been afraid of heights. I mean I can’t go up. I could barely look out of a window at a second story but I believed you, when you said, we would all come back. Okay and I would have no fear at all. It was so…”
That’s something great.
[00:Participant]: ”It was so neat for the first time and I could look out and I just knew I’d be okay because you said so or if I fell like you said the worst thing that happened I’d know for sure if you were real, because you’d either catch me or not.”
That’s why I told whatever fear can disappear by faith, let it disappear. Other things do Svadhisthana meditation, that's all, nothing can be done. Now only believing God you can go to this type of places. Nothing else can be done. No other thing, no other protection will work and in Bharat you can’t even sue any company. You can’t even sue the guys who made the road or everything. Nothing can be done.
Now we are all here safely back. It’s very for a... cold. Very warm and above all the secret….important secret. I'll tell you, you don’t have to wash every day. Maintenance free. That is one important reason why I chose this cloth. Maintenance free, you will never see it is dirty or even if it gets dirty you will not be able to find it and even if it becomes old you can’t find. It look fresh. Mythologically Yamuna and Gangotri both are connected to Manasarovar, but I don’t know geographically. Geographically I don’t think. Mythologically they are connected.
[00:Participant]: “Swami, now at the grocery store when I see on the rice bags, which says it’s from the Himalayas now I say: I actually saw the rice growing.”
Used to say side, be silent or just to get your attention. Got it?
[00:Participant]:“ Yeah I got it.”
Swamiji: Okay. A press for uh uh? I press the uh?
[00:Participant]: ”Yeah good. Keep doing it.”
Let’s it decide it goes to. Got it. Now okay. So blessing for two group.
[00:Participant]: ” That was a Swami baptising.”
Uh, baptism.
Anybody else had any practical jokes. Where is the joke? Everybody’s shivering.
Uh, who said? Don't tell Navidson. No it’s not eighteen km, less than that. Maybe seventeen and a half.
[00:Participant]: “You kept doing that today. You’d say it’s around the next turn. One more to. There it is, there it is.”
Actually, somebody asked me: “How that all stream came Swamiji?” I said, maybe some strong person had taken bath and... and it is still coming in my in my memory.
We don’t know... I only... a persons one imaginations. Oh why he is laughing separately? Maybe some Devatas or some demon should have taken bath. Then the strong current is coming still in their memory. You know the beauty is Yamuna completely frozen. That is the whole beauty and below water is coming under the glaciers water is flowing that is the beauty.
[00:Participant:] “Swamiji, can you bathe in the water?”
God I used to bath. Today I only drink. I used to bathe in that water only, otherwise you can’t bathe. You can’t even not get some hot water especially... unless... I used to bath in that water only...
