 Swami BAP | 074 | Devotion & willpower | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:07

Devotion and willpower have very much in common. If you have devotion you get the willpower to do something. Usually when people are personally ambitious they have the highest performance. The willpower to do service, the willpower not to fight with others, the willpower to fulfill my duty, the willpower to expand Krishna-consciousness, this willpower is what Krishna wants to see and then He will give you His blessings and the chance to do more things for Him. The willpower here is devotion, wanting to serve. There is no more frustration in you when you decide that you want to serve.

The colors in this world are mixed by 3 prime colors: blue, red and yellow. They create all the other colors which exist. White and black are also included there in a mysterious fashion. The colors are really an array, just like the rainbow, of showing the variety which exists in the development of characters.

The identity therapy is taking you to become more aware of your limitations in this world and it will show you how to go further. It will help you to understand that there is no underlying chaos in this creation, everything is orderly organized. Therefore our life also has to be orderly organized in order to get to some beautiful conclusion.

The peace of mind therapy means you are born, educated and raised and thus you incur debts which you have to repay in order to be happy and progress. What are those debts? You have debts with nature and her agents like mother earth, the elements (water, fire,...). Then you have debts with your parents and the forefathers who brought you into existence, they were all instrumental to that. And then you are getting education, that means you have debts with the rishis and teachers of the past and the present. How can we repay our debts to them?

 Swami BAP | 070 | Krishna's associate | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:44

Becoming part of the family of the Lord is so fantastic that for most of the people this remains an abstract idea, they just cannot imagine that. Once an atheist gave a speech in Calcutta and my Gurudeva went, he wanted to hear what argument he is giving. The atheist argued that if God exists do not bother about Him, because He is too busy. He is managing universes which are so far away that their light has not even reached the earth yet. He is managing all that, then do you think that He has any time left for you tiny little fellow? So you better forget about Him. That was his argument. Then Srila Sridhara Maharaja answered that if such a Person could exist Who has created all that, do you think that He would be able to forget even one ant? He knows everyone and He cares for everyone.

This life is complicated and we all wish to have a solid foundation and clarity about what we want in life. But we are facing so many lies and also we are coming in contact with revealed truth. In Oida therapy we start to discriminate what is truth for us and what is lie. This therapy will help us to increase discrimination so that we may not be carried away by advertisement and by other confusions which often propagate lies and make us ignore the truth about our own well being, about our own correct eating habits, etc.

 Swami BAP | 068 | Berlin Deity installation 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:49:06

The worship of the Supreme Lord is a secret gift we have received from our spiritual master. When we start to worship the Lord from within our heart, many mystical things start to take place in our life, that is a fact. You should all take a note of that, because all of you desire many mystical transformations in your life. You do not want life to go on in a routine of eating, sleeping, mating and defending. You want to come into the world of miracles. So the miracle has manifested once again yesterday, and it will manifest here everyday. But a greater miracle than the Lord appearing here is the miracle of coming also to serve Him.

Some people study the Vedas just to take another conclusion from them. They do not accept that Vishnu Narayan is the Enjoyer of everything. Sometimes they do not even accept that God exists. Sometimes they think that we are all God, that we are all on the same level, that we all have the same rights. Why should one be the Enjoyer and the others be the enjoyed? And in this way they create foolish theories where the created becomes the Creator. But nobody can become his own father or his own mother. You can become father and mother of some other people but you cannot become the father and mother of yourself.
