The guru and the questions we bring
The conversation considers learning Hindi and the value of understanding a language. 'This is the sun setting behind me.' 'Yes, it is now — today, just now.'

Yes, develop yourself. Practice is just a part of it.
But then I am talking with so many different people, so I am learning on the way. Because I studied Arabic language, Japanese language, Chinese language, professionally.
But why you used even five minutes for that? …Oh, I studied Russian language more deeply. And you are ignoring Hindi also.
What Japanese can teach you, what Hindi will. So why you miss Hindi?
But now at my stage, I think that every second… so that practice is the best option.
But you should learn Hindi also.
Yes.
Alright. Look how simple.
And in Gita says that military like Kshatri is…
Military is military. It's not Kshatri. They are gone. But it's not the same. It's almost like next level is Brahman with practice.
Forget these basic things. You are in the Kali Yogi now. Don't bother too much.
The more you will study, the better you will become.
Limited time means how long you have to live — that is a limited time, we are not immortal. We do not have infinite time.
So, it is okay to spend some time for eating, for example, and for practice.
No, no — without learning, your progress will not be good.
…and if you have to know that you have to do this, then you will do it.
अगर किसी के कहने-सुनने से आप साथ न कर रहे हैं, और दिल की आवाज़ नहीं है, तो fluctuation बहुत हो।
If you are not acting on someone's say-so and there is no inner voice, then there is much fluctuation.
और अगर आपको मालूम बढ़ गया अपने अंदर से कि मेरे दूब यही करना है, तो आप करते चलेगा। will power की बात है।
But if from within you have come to know that 'this alone is what I must do', then you keep on doing it. It is a matter of will power.
No, no, she was not a yogi but she had some devotion, she had seen Krishna face to face. So she was very new or inferior?
Whatever, we are not analyzing her and getting her. So your question is, none of the ways leads to Samadhi, only yoga?
She saw Krishna but that was not Samadhi. Don't be confused there.
And do you know how many people on the planet are now in Samadhi?
No idea.
Thirty-six minutes. Then it is said, yes, you have mastered Padmasa.
Not Samadhi. Then real pranayam will take place. One thing will lead to another. We cannot compromise with the standard.
किसको? …क्योंकि अज्ञात चीज़ का भी डर ज़्यादा होता है, कि जाने क्या होगा?
Whom? …Because of the unknown thing too there is more fear — who knows what will happen?
अज्ञात का भय होता है। ज्ञान जाएँगे तो डर भी नहीं होगा।
There is fear of the unknown. When you know, there will be no fear.
By the grace of God you will find a genuine guru, and by the grace of God you will take his teachings very seriously, and by the grace of God you will work your best to achieve it. That is grace of God.
So it is grace, grace, grace all the way.
She consults the disciple, the disciple dies, so he comes to you or…? Actually, Guru is always consulted before judgement. Consulted by the high power before giving judgement.
A Guru is consulted by the higher power there before giving judgment to the disciples' karma.
Whoever is there, they aren't there. They will talk to the Guru before giving judgment to the disciple.
So, it is a very good idea to keep me in good mood.
Yes, yes.
He is asking judgment after the second death?
Of course. We are talking about after death. You started this question. Whatever.
They decide, you have no choice. It's like you said — did you decide which school to go when you were a kid?
No.
They decide.
It is just a utopian thought that we have a choice. We have no choice.
She says, it's also often saying to parents that they were children in the books that we want these parents and they come to this family.
That is just nothing. Nowadays children are not so honest. They are their father's son, so no more honesty.
Guruji, so there is truth in saying that you can follow the grace of God, but you always must be on the good side of your world?
Of course. This is what Indians believe. And that's how so many fake gurus exploit their innocent disciples.
Guru Ji, question from Alexei. If the Guru dies before the disciples, who will judge the disciples?
Well, Guru will become a very powerful spirit and ghost and he will wait for you after that.
We are all going to become ghosts, so no, don't worry.
So connection between disciple and guru is permanent only if guru on the side to do this in any kind of room.
Yeah, that's true.
Why I am teaching for free? If I will charge a fees from you, then you will not be my disciple, you will be my customer.
So the whole principle will be lost. That's the point.
That is our lineage, this is what we have learnt from our gurus.
Time is cool, it's 10 minutes. What are your questions?
Guruji, one more question from Alexei. He is asking, is there some kind of ritual to make a connection with disciple who is stronger?
Follow the teachings of the Guru and do your best. That is the only way.
अष्टमी को हवन कर देते हैं, अपने नौ मी तो छोड़ी दे। …अष्टमी को हवन होना चाहिए, नौ दिन पूरा व्रत करे, और देवी के अलग-अलग नौ रूपों [की पूजा] करे।
They do the havan on Ashtami and leave out their ninth. …The havan should be on Ashtami; keep the full vrat all nine days and worship the Devi's nine separate forms.
जेमला सब सब पढ़ा है ना पढ़ा है। …अष्टमी लू अष्टमी कुसमों हेंडेक ही हैं? नहीं नहीं, या आप point रही समझाई इनको — लोग अष्टमी [को हवन] ही करते हैं।
Whatever you have read or not read… Is Ashtami the only [day] they do? No, no — you are explaining the point to them: people do only Ashtami.
नौ दिन पूरे व्रत होने चाहिए।
All nine days of the vrat must be complete.
