Guru Purnima - July 1999

Human beings, male and female, are born only for God-realization. God-realization is your birthright because God is with you from the very beginning of your birth. When you were in your mother's womb, God was there with you. God is in heaven. We have come here to learn how to get God-realization.

Your whole body is God but you are not feeling it. You all sat for meditation, giving love through the shortest breath in the fontanel. You know He is always giving love whether you are constantly getting the sensation of the Supreme Almighty Lord or pulsations in the whole body. He is doing everything through you: whether you are hearing the talk of God, the constant sound of God, or you are doing any activity. It is He who is doing everything through you.

The only requirement for God-realization is that you have the desire to achieve it. Watch your inhalation. In every breath, realize the breath is directly coming from Him and directly going to Him in the fontanel. He is always there. Just know there is pulsation, heaviness, "God, God, God." As you touch your heart, you will feel a sensation in your whole body. If you practice it constantly, you will get the direct perception that your whole system is God. God is doing everything. He is inhaling the breath. If you watch your breath and search for His presence in the fontanel, then you can feel the pulsation. You will get it through calmness, and through the deepest desire. When you practice, try to feel that you are God in human form. Your whole body is God but you are not feeling it. You have to feel the constant sound, light and vibration of God.

God is in your whole system. If you have the desire, then you will feel that God is kind and He is giving you the ability to accomplish every activity, breathe and move. If you have the desire, you can also remove your bad habits and desires. You can avoid all evils, wrongs, immorality, debauchery and immoral sex. You can feel a new sensation instead. You can perceive that God is changing your life gradually. You are a little baby and God is constantly changing you for your new life, for your divinity. If you have the desire for God-realization and watch, you will see that He is inhaling. You will feel that it is all from Him.

You were born from Him, so you should realize you are attached to Him at every moment. He is constantly functioning in your whole body. Without Him you cannot do anything. Practice will give you perfection. You only need this intense spiritual desire. You are to do nothing-only watch where your mind is going and why. When bad thoughts come, you can remove them by asking God to release you from these evil propensities.

Every organ, and every tissue in the body, is coming from Him. Your smile is coming from the Supreme Almighty Lord. Your mind is coming from the Supreme Almighty Lord. The five gross elements are coming from the Supreme Almighty Lord, so you should always watch them with love. Then if you remain in the family you will get God-realization. Think of Lahiri Baba who had five children. You have come here [to the Guru Purnima celebration] from long distances. So if you only have the desire, with the shortest breath touching the top of your head, your light will be divine. Every teacher, every Lahiri Baba, every Babaji, is with you, so you should practice and practice and practice. Be aware of your fontanel at every moment, even when you're doing something wrong, and it will give you liberation.

Earthly love is not wrong if you are given liberation. Think of Lahiri Baba. Think of Sanyal Mahasaya who had two sons and two daughters. Three sons died, and two of them were employed at the High Court of Justice. I was present when the elder son died and there was extreme attachment for the child. This attachment is God: love. Feel the presence of God. When my father died there were many relatives crying loudly. I was talking with the priests and everyone was sitting outside and talking. They asked me why I was not crying. I said, "My father died but he remains here. In my fontanel he did not die. He is an imperishable soul; he cannot die." So I did not cry because my father died. You have to practice this.

You have to hear the Divine sound all the time. It is there, and to hear it is your extreme gain. God is always in heaven, watching. Give love, give thanks. Breathe. The supreme power of God is in you. It is so nice you all have come from a long distance. I am so happy in my old age that I am still talking. I am speaking only for you because you have come here. If you follow me all day and night, it will be your gain. God is giving love to you every morning and through every step of your life. He is your Supreme Conductor. He is inhaling constantly. He is your husband, He is your Lord, He is here. He is giving divine joy. Feel that He is within you. He is for all. God is in the whole universe but He is also within my individual Self.

He is your Lord, He is your friend-your intimate friend, your bosom friend. He is in the whole body. You have to realize that. Thank you. Try to realize that. Without Him, you have nothing. He is everything to you through love, love, love. Only with deepest love will you get everything in your life.

Thank you, everyone.
