He starts by giving his satirical rundown of a 3 Day Festival but jumps to talking about John Hampton repeating a joke Maharaji found in a Readers Digest - reincarnating as a jack rabbit in Arizona, life is sex, sex, sex. Maharaji is not very sophisticated but he understands he's learnt all he can about life from Bugs Bunny cartoons and he should start studying highbrow magazines
Prem Rawat Celebrates His Father From Whom He Inherited Everything
Hans Jayanti Festival, 10th November 1978, Friday afternoon video
(Cheers) As was common, the young Maharaji had a cold flawed flowed?
So again premies (clears throat) another opportunity, another day, another afternoon and at the moment in our lives to listen to satsang. To let some of those concerns go. So I know that, you know, by seats like this. When you have a three day festival. One day everybody comes there, yes "And how are you? How are you not? You know, are you doing good? Are you doing bad? No. You're a good fellow, you're a bad fellow." Whatever happens. (clears throat) "Yes, I've done this test. I've done that." That's the first day. Then comes the festival time. You know, the actual time to start the festival and nothing is going on. Initiators try to get up there. You know, hack it away with the Skil Saws going everywhere on the stage and hammering happening at … you name it. It's going on. You know, people falling off of scaffolding and then comes the, you know, then the Satsang starts happening. Skil Saws goes away. You know, finally get all the tacks in thevacuum cleaner and that's it.
And then the second day of course, you know, people listen to Satsang, we try to digest it. Still, there's excitement. "Oh, did you see that premie came? Did you don't that happened wasn't the wonderful?" You know and then Darshan happens and everybody's really busy in that spacing out here spacing out there because you know when the turn comes is when you're going to get in there. And the third day is "Ciao" you know and it's just like, it's just happens, everything happens so fast that even if there's a great big hammer following you, you narrowly skip and by the time it crashes on top of you it's all over. Let's do what's finished, none. But here it's a little different story, that hammer, that concept follows us, follows us, follows us and it really in some cases it really gives us that opportunity to let those concepts manifest a little bit in your life, you know, "Maybe I can do this for Guru Maharaj Ji or I can do this. So this is the way I'm supposed to do it or this is the way I'm supposed to do it, you know."
John Hampton Repeats Maharaji's Joke About Reincarnating as a Jack Rabbit in Arizona
John Hampton's been listening to Satsang and then today I guess he got up there, Sergeant gave Satsang and it's just like, he got up there and I was listening (inaudible) I was trying to get ready to come here and he started telling this story. (Laughter) First I just looked at the monitor and I don't believe he's gonna say this but then he started giving this justification of the story that it's a documented fact in a magazine. That did it, you know, and then he went on and he told his whole story, you know, first of all it's not a documented fact. It's from a Readers Digest, it's a joke in it. Laughter is the best medicine. Its in that chapter and uh I, in Tucson Arizona, I was just fumbling around with the Readers Digest, just flipping the pages and I saw the story, so I told it to everybody (laughter).
But really if, you know the way he was telling you, that if you didn't know better about John Hampton, you would fall for it and even at that moment maybe you would start thinking about, my God, you know here I am and it's you know it's been raining and it's hot and there I am cooking up in the sun and all this is happening and if that's all that's going to happen is if I'm going to become a jack rabbit I might as well start working on my carrots (premies laugh, GMJ sucks snot) but those concepts that we have in our life, like they're always in the background of our heads.
Those Hidden Concepts Explained Through a Flying Story
They're always somewhere in the background hidden away, nobody touches them, nobody sees them, this is your proper private property, you know, so on and so forth. And then maybe something in your life starts happening. A disaster or something incredible, something, you know, you don't can't understand and those concepts start emerging, those concept starts manifesting and it's just like pretty incredible. And you just then you then that's the only time you really see that those concepts are wrong. That's the only time you see that, wait a minute, what you have been believing for such a long time is all down the drain and that happens sometimes. Maybe, you know, here you are flying away you know or something is happening to you and it's just like, you know, I mean it's just like when we were, you know, in Mexico, we were in this place, I was taking a vacation and there was this runway and it was a really funky runway. It was like, it wasn't a runway it was more like a anything else, it just wasn't a runway was everything else but a runway. It was a little dirt strip, it was it, that's what it was. And you know we came from Los Angeles, we landed at the big airport, you know, went through customs and immigration and the whole thing happened and we hopped onto this little aeroplane.and I was familiar with this aeroplane and we started flying, you know, everybody got in and took off and here I was, you know, just sitting in the copilot seat, flying the aeroplane, there's Bill [Bill Bach] right there, you know, and we just took it down and then I said "Bill why don't you shoot the approach because I'm not very familiar with this" and it was like I had this idea, you know, here it would be really nice runway, you know, and there'd be a nice house and all the pictures we had seen created a concept I guess, created an imagination. I mean it's not as serious as a concept, let's put it that way. More like an imagination, more like what you would think that that's what it's gonna be like. But nevertheless all of a sudden we started, you know, descending into this valley and it was like "My God, what are we going, what's happening, you know, hills on both sides and we are in this valley, you know, and we are actually having to turn to conform to the shape of the valley. And then we come between these two valleys make a sharp turn and there is our "Oh man" I said "Wow" (inaudible) and I guess I flew it couple of times out of there and then one time they were sitting at the end of the runway. we did our pre flight check-up, you know, and everything we're doing a run up. After the run up was finished and as we were taking, you know, just coming on to the to the position for take off, Bill said "OK this is the thing, if we are rotating, we are rotating everything is ok and one engine quits OK? Then we are under a certain speed and one engine quits. It's OK. We're gonna break and everything will be okay. If we are rotating and one engine quits, we just keep on going" and he said, "But if you're going just before the point of rotation, we haven't rotated yet, we haven't taken off yet and one engine quits, we're gonna try to stop it and the most that's gonna happen is we might end up in the ocean and get a little scratched here and there, and it'll be okay."
"Thanks a lot. Great." (sucks snot) And it was like, there was this whole factory. Once we get, once we climb, once we, once we are off the runway, and even one engine quits, we are O. K, thing will flop. And after all this happened, my attitude completely changed about what was there and what wasn't there, and it was just like, and then one time, you know, I brought it in for a landing. No, no. If you're expecting of something happening terrible, it didn't happen. But it was like using up my ideas of what it would be like, what would, you know, say, if you would have to be forming a concept, well, okay, here would be one concept down the drain. Everyone concept completely blown off. And in our lives, we have so many concepts. We have so many ideas. We have so many imaginations. We have so many things that we try to relate to in this world. Let me try to bring forth in this world. You know you teach your kids that same way whatever your concepts are and that kid when he grows up, he'll teach his kids how his concepts are and on and on and on and on and on like that And those concepts just don't seem to die. They always maintain themselves to sort of sustain themselves. There is a whole river of concepts always flowing but Guru Maharaj Ji can take those concepts of ours … Because what is concept? What is fear? What is an imagination? When you see something you don't imagine it. You're seeing it, there is no need to imagine.
You know if somebody tells you, can you imagine a motorhome? I don't really need glasses here. (removes sunglasses) Can you if somebody says "Can you imagine a motor home?" and you can say "Yeah, I can imagine a motorhome." You know, maybe it's like this. Maybe it's like this. Maybe it's like this. But if the motorhome is in front of you. What? Why do you need to imagine? And this is the way our theories are. This is the way our concepts are because we don't know. We haven't seen that reality. We haven't seen that truth and so that is why we imagine things and whatever we imagine we believed them to be real and maybe obviously then they become a concept and that's the way we try to work and that's I mean, I know that they are premies who think things have to be done a certain way, you know, and it comes to my attention, you know, and maybe somebody all somebody wants is a ruling passed on that. Wants a clarification. "Is that the way you're supposed to do it Maharaji" and I said "Of course not" you know and then automatically it's like "Oh yeah that person has a concept" you know these guys are really into concepts and I don't know but I know there are a lot of premies that do a lot of things but initiators have seen them doing things, you know, and that is why that street I call it a Concept Street because these initiators have been, the people who are now initiators have been around for a long time and they have heard a lot. "This is the way this should be done. This is the way this should be done" you know, (mahatama's name) will tell them one thing, (mahatama's name) will tell them one thing, somebody comes along will tell them one thing, you know, and they try to acquire all this information on how you're supposed to, you know, wash Guru Maharaj Ji's feet, how you're supposed to this, when are you supposed to tell him that you would like charanamrit, when are you supposed to take the Arti and it's just like it becomes a mishmash of what they actually want to do and maybe they put all their effort in trying to do it a certain way. Maybe they put all their effort in trying to bring it all together the way they think is right. But then I say "No that's not right, that's not correct" and it's just like it automatically takes the shape of a concept. It's just like it it its an illusion. You took a bet that that's what it was and it wasn't, so then how, in fact, how, in fact how is it possible? You know, to survive in this world? Think about the creator, you know, and completely living in an illusion. You know my God, my Creator wants me to do this. My God, my Creator wants me to do this. This is right. That's wrong. This is right. That's wrong. I mean, all these things, all these factions that we we we have to endure every day.
Americans Driving in England
So when we went to England, you know, Marolyn, I said "Marolyn, do you want to drive? She said, "Of course." Just she started driving. She was very nervous, you know, because she was driving on the wrong, you know, in England, you're driving on the wrong side of the street (laughter) uh and as a matter of fact, the time before that, Peter Lee was going from the residence and Marino was coming from the plane from this other place where the premies were staying. Marino was driving on the wrong side of the street and so was Peter and they had a perfect head-on collision. Just just just perfect, you know. And they called up the rental companies to tell them that their cars got it, you know. And it was just like cars belong to the same company and have been rented out to the same people. And they had been totalled. And Marolyn was driving and okay so Marolyn was driving this car and I said maybe we should go back and she said, "keep reminding me to stay, you know, on the wrong side of the road." That's why you're driving me or vice versa for the English premies. We drive on the wrong side, you know, not we, but people in America drive on the wrong side. People in America, they drive on the wrong side. And ah so Marolyn was going to turn, you know, and she turned, you know, but she turned on the wrong side according to the English side. And there were all these people on this street, you know, and they started honking their horns and "Where are you going?" You know, it was like this whole idea of "What's happening. Where are you going? Where do you want to go? You know, bey on the other side. Don't drive on our side of the road. No." And here it was. It was because it was a major highway and I mean a major road and there was this little street coming in here we were in the middle of the whole thing and then they looked at the licence plates and they cooled off and they were German licence plates that they probably figured it's a German car, German driving, driving on the wrong side around. But Marolyn had this whole idea, it was a habit, it was a, it wasn't even to be thought about it wasn't even to be considered it was just like turns with turn and turn the way you turn in America and that in England is the reverse, you know, and this becomes such a major part of us that maybe that could have been a very serious mistake but because it was all fixed in one position that's what she was used to. She was not used to driving in England, she was used to driving in America. As soon as she got behind the wheel when all the relays clicked, it was like "OK let's, you know, just turn normally as you were turn in United States.
How many times does that happen to us in our spiritual lives? How many times does that mistake, that sort of serious mistake, do we make in our lives? So many times. So many times because I mean OK you look at one fact, one fact is that here we are in this world and there's nothing guaranteed When we are born a little piece of paper doesn't come along, you know, in the placenta of the mother that guaranteed the serial number of the kid, you know, and of name blank for where he's going to live and what his name is going to be or her name is going to be but basically a serial number and one year warranty. This product is certified from all defects you know for one year. That doesn't happen in our lives. It doesn't happen for 20 years. Doesn't happen for 30 years. Doesn't happen for 40 years. Doesn't happen for 100 years. It just doesn't happen like that and so what a mishmash. Here we are, we always take our life to be absolutely guaranteed. That that's the way it is. We always consider our lives that, okay, nothing is ever going to happen to us. Everything is aok, you know, and just go on doing whatever you think is right. Just go on doing whatever you think is is proper to do in this in this life. If you were to consider that factor, there in fact whatever you do in this life is not, you know, just your wish or your your thing but in fact there's a whole another error(?) to be considered that this life is short, this life is the way it is, there's a specific purpose for us to be here in this life, in this in this world and so what is it? You know and it's just like we if we try to put all the statistics if we try to put all our information together in one in one1 part in one in one place we will find out that "Wow man, this is completely incredible. This is completely outrageous." Here I am thinking and taking so many things for being guaranteed. I'm taking so many things for granted you know, that this is the way it's going to be "Yes tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and everything is going to be the same." And don't we all take that like that. If you knew that tomorrow you are going to be hung. Would you go to sleep tonight? If you knew that tomorrow you were going to be electrocuted. Would you go to sleep tonight? No. There'll be this whole thing happening. You know "Man I just just, here I have these moments in my life and God please help me. I'm sincere, you know, I don't know what's going to happen. What's not going to happen. Please help me. Please help me. Please help me. Please help me. You know, bring me to me" and I mean who knows maybe even that isn't it like "Wow man all this is going to be over for me. I feel my touch, my body, my sight. It'll be all gone. What will I be? There'll be nothing left of me. I'm going. I'm gone tomorrow morning. You know this guy's gonna walk in there. Put the handcuffs on me. Take me out of here and they're are going to hang me. I'm gonna die" and even for a moment if that thought was to occur to us but isn't that the way it is. We really just we, the thing is, we live in a system where we are not told when we are going to go. We are not informed what's going to happen to us. It just does happen to us and if you were to look at it like, that how precious in fact is this life. How incredible in fact is this life.
How beautiful in fact is this life that we have and definitely there is nothing in this, in this whole earth at this point in time that is worthwhile for the beauty of this, of this love. There is no car made for this life. There is no aeroplane made for this life. There is no helicopter made for this life. There are no beaches for this life. There is not a house for this life. This life is absolutely incredibly precious and perfect and yet this is what we spend our life in. You. Me. Yours. Min, This and that. No. You can have this. I can have this. Why can't I have this? You can have this. I mean all these I's and you's and me's and mines. Let me constantly keep thinking about it and there's only one thing that is precious enough for this life because it is the absolute life in itself and that's Guru Maharaj Ji. Guru Maharaj Ji gives us that that Jewel. Guru Maharaj Ji gives us that diamond. When Guru Maharaj Ji gives us that pleasure of this life itself. That's when this whole life becomes worthwhile to even live for. That's when this whole life in this whole life becomes true. This is when this whole life becomes real. Otherwise it is only a simple procedure of come and go. Come and go. Come and go. Come and go. Look what, what does all Guru Maharaj Ji give us? Is there any limit to it? Everything in this world is limited. Like that one example I used to give. You know, here's this guy and he gets a car. So he buys a car and he shows it around to everybody. "Look, I got a car. Look, I got a car. Look, I got a car."
Maharaji Reveals How Quickly He Loses Interest in His New Gadgets.
I remember when I first got my Hewlett-Packard and all this little incredible little machine, this little computer watch. That was really amazed. You know, it took me, I mean, I couldn't even get it to function right because it was so complicated. It was so sophisticated. Now I can, couldn't even get it to function right the first day. It took me 2 or 3 days. I had to just sit down with the watch and the instructions booklet. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it till you know and keep practising and practising and practising until now. Maybe I can, you know, get a few functions out of it. It's a calculator, you know and it has a stopwatch and has three memories and it has scientific notations. It has date, date, you know, I mean, it has date, month and year and you can have that in any sequence you want. You can have in the European sequence. You know if you want date first month and then year or you could have an American sequence, a month you know and then date then the year. I mean anything that you want to do with it you can do you can by pushing 1, 2 buttons you can get it to display time in 24 hours. Push one and play in AM PM in a regular time. It's got two alarm clocks in it. You can programme one to go off at a certain time, other one you can programme it for a countdown, has a complete stopwatch. I mean all these things and it's a really incredible little watch and when I finally got it to work I would take it in you know premies would come by "Did you see this watch? Isn't this incredible? Isn't this incredible? Isn't this incredible?" and I'd show them a few features and it was like "Wow!" You know it took me three or four days to figure out that that watch actually had a key in its bracelet that you could pull out and work the computer with. Just show it to the premies and "Wasn't this incredible isn't?" I don't do that anymore. Why? Its the same watch? Actually it's not the same watch but it is the same watch, same kind of watch. I gave mine, the first one to Raja Ji, you know, and I got another one and when Raja Ji got it, I know that, you know, he was showing it to all these Italian premies "Look at this watch, look at this watch, it can do this, it can do this, sometimes it pull their legs here on the side. But I don't do that anymore. He doesn't do that anymore. What happened? Did the watch breakdown? No, it works fine. What happened? That curiosity, that excitement just faded away and now I'm not interested. Somebody wants to, you know, look at the watch or "Yeah here it is." "What does it all do?" "Well you can do a lot of things" and premies, that's the way, that's the way these materialistic objects are, that their pleasures are so limited. One day it's you are incredible, beautiful, perfect. This is what I ever always wanted in my life. Thank you very much. And then the second day, it's like so what and because this world is ever unconstant, this world is always shifting. It's always changing around and even the scope of changing around.
Every Time You Shift A Grain Of Sand, You're Changing The Composition Of The Entire Universe
Once, you know, once I was sitting down on the beach and Marolyn was sitting right there and I was just looking, it was a beautiful day, was all clear blue skies, warm, not too hot, not too cold, could hear the ocean, you know, beautiful view and everything and I picked up a fistful of sands. I said "Wow look at the sand" and Marolyn said that every time you shift a grain of sand, you're changing the composition of the entire universe. That's true. It's really, really true because at one point in the whole composition of the universe, a grain of sand was at one spot. The way this world was ,you know, I can probably scrape some fuzz off this chair and go like this and drop it down. That has changed this earth structure because just a second ago, just a moment ago, that first in the whole composition of this earth was right here on this chair. Now I've just picked it and dropped it down. Of course, you know, mammoth earthquakes don't happen and, you know, you don't all slide down into a great big pit but again that's the way it is. That's how many ???, that's how unconstant this world is. Everything is happening all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time.
So many aeroplanes are flying around, they're taking something that was one time inside the earth and now they have taken it, burnt it up and put it somewhere else. Even as I talk right now, the hot air that I'm breathing out, was at one time in my stomach, and now it's just pumped out and look at Guru Maharaj Ji at the same, in the same air from the beginning of this earth. I mean, look how many r evolutions that happened, how many things about, mountains have popped up, mountains have gone down. Ocean has come up. Ocean has let out, you know, I mean, so many things have happened. So only they say that even the axis of this earth is tilting a little bit. And yet Guru Maharaj Ji, even before the creation of this earth, even before the creation of a single human being. Was the same. That energy, that power was always constant and always same is constant and is same and will be constant and will be the same.
Maharaji's Take on Pascal's Wager
We go to a horse. You know people go to bet on horses. The whole idea is if you get $1 and if the horse that you bet on wins, then you get $2 and multiply, you know, multiply your money. Guru Maharaj Ji is saying you don't have to bet, but I'll multiply you and not in the sense of having babies you know. But I will make you from what you are, what you are completely finite, completely nothing. I mean, what is? What is your size? What is? What is everything? I mean, look at it in the whole scope of this universe. We we look up, we get up, we look somewhere and whatever we see as far as we can see it that's exactly what's real to us. That's us, that's real, that's there it's it's it's fact and that's it and yet when they take a picture from satellite you can't even see people. See the whole pan out, can't even see people. This whole thing is a dot, a really small little dot, somewhere ,and to us it's like mammoth a great big place you know this is bigger than the whole acreage of this property is bigger than what we used to have in ??? and the stands and the lights and the stages and the microphones and people and I mean there's all this going on and yet who are we? We are not even a dot. If there was a picture to be taken via satellite from far far away, not zoomed in, because I mean obviously they say that the satellites have even a potential to take a picture of a guy reading a newspaper but nevertheless not having it so accurate but just to take a huge picture of the entire United States, nobody would even see us. We wouldn't even be there. It was be like yeah, but yeah here we are. And our reality is all relative, our reality is all different. If this whole place, every square inch of it that we are not using was full of jungle this place would look so small. You know, if there were no tents on this property this property would look like there's nothing going on here. Our reality is so relative, so inconstant, so so nothing whatever and Guru Maharaj Ji says that I can take you away, I can put you into a place where the reality is really real. Where there is no changes, where there are no things like that but it is constant. It's true. It's always the same. It's perfect. There are no changes. There are no ups and downs and what do we have to say to that? You know, our concept that varies so much, so much, so much, so much, so much, so much.
I mean here are, is one camera man over there. There's one camera man over there. There's one camera man. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Eleven camera men. Sit them down in one room and ask 'em, which is the best lens? Well. Michael would think that Éclair is the best camera, movie camera or um CP 16 and Ram(?) thinks that Oriflex is much better than that. Now he carries this huge thing sometimes that's a 16 millimetre camera Oriflex and it's just like you try to sit him down and ask him OK which is the best camera? Go to these professionals, put 50 professionals down and ask them how to construct a stage? Put the two drummers together. Who's got better moves? Which is a better drum? Which is that? Which is? I mean all these things. So I mean if you can take all these mishmashes, if you can take all these sharp points in our life, you will find that we are on top of an incredible marsh and the only reason why we aren't getting wet is because we happen to be sitting on top or standing on top of plastic paper. But in fact if that plastic paper wouldn't be there we would it would be just like, you know, it's like sinking in quicksand and as you're just sinking in quicksand you have this great big sheet, you know, of plastic roll and so as you sink you can't touch the sand because in between you and the sand there is this plastic sheet and say go "Wow I couldn't be really sinking could I, because I can't feel the sand. I know that's not really true, no. I mean obviously because somebody agrees on something and somebody doesn't agree on something doesn't make one thing a better camera of the worse camera or better lens or a worse lens.
You know, I know that sometimes I walk into the cockpit to these aeroplanes and there are these pilots talking about which is a better … every time you walk in the cockpit, you know, they're talking about which is a better aeroplane, which is a better navigational system. I don't like the Bendix. I like RCA. I don't like RCA. I like Bendix and the cockpit and these are the pilots you know. And sometimes you get this feeling is that when the copilot is going to turn left and the captain is gonna turn right. Of course that can't happen, you know, as though there are two steering wheels, they're both of the same command. But almost all these differences, if they were to be really real, that's exactly what would happen. "I thought he said left" "I thought he was said right" and this happened, this happens in aeroplanes. Can you imagine that? That's really done.
This is how spaced out our lives are but here we are sitting in this aeroplane and the pilot chief take me from one place to the other place and there is this pilot, you know, you just, it doesn't matter, what did he say was the frequency? Did he say 121.5? No I thought he said 120 point 121.9 and it was just like all this mishmash is going on in this cockpit. In here I'm standing there, I'm going wow me is that not a fly this aeroplane or not. You know, and we're really, totally and I mean, you know, maybe there are some premie pilots you know who've got their trip together, who wouldn't space out that much but these other professional pilots, I thought they're all over the place. Doing this, talking talking, talking, talking, talking, talking. So premies and here we are in the back of the aeroplane and our lives here we're thinking "Oh yeah we having on this flight or that flight" but our life is completely dependent upon this pilot that this pilot's in a good mood, you know, it's just like if you woke up in the right side of the bed it's gonna be okay. If he had a bad cup of coffee and woke up in the wrong side of the bed, you've had it. He'll bring the plane down and smash it in there, its not their aeroplane. Taxi down fast, do this, do that but life is life and the purpose of that life still doesn't change and yet we take that precious life and we expose it to all these things that, that, that are so irrelevant. You know we take this precious form and we give it to this world and say here world, this is what you're going to, you know, this is what you're gonna get here. Here, here I am ta da, you know, I'm just completely spaced out into this whole world. You know and it's just it's, just that, that this life is not for that purpose and we have to understand, you know, as just a little while ago I went around the whole property.
We're trying to do this thing, trying to, we have our procession car here then that car there's never been a procession, so you have this customization done to the car, so we could have a procession. So there's a lot of technical difficulties but somehow you know they put this thing on it and it's gonna be a chair that's gonna be really high, you know, you really like chairs don't you? (Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai) And just you know have a procession just all around this this area it's all around this whole property, (Bolie Shri Satgurudev Maharaj Ki Jai) and you know I guess premies are working at it by the time you put this whole thing on you know the car just goes poop and in the back put a heavier shock absorber and that just so and so forth. You know but it's just, you know, I mean if that happens, you know, I don't know if it will happen or not but it'll be pretty beautiful if it does I think. If it doesn't happen it'll still be beautiful.
So premies you know what it all really boils down to is that we have to give ourselves to Guru Maharaj Ji, we have to surrender ourselves to Guru Maharaj Ji so Guru Maharaj Ji can take our lives, you know, and utilise them in a proper way instead of this world, giving our lives to this world where there's just a great big mishmash and this is what I was saying, you know, I was riding around the whole property and I went by the summer camp and so I asked Hansi if he wanted to see the kids? There were these kids there and Hansi goes "Yeah I wanna see the kids." Then drove over and there were these kids there and I just started talking to them and that's it, you know, and this premie actually said "Oh Guru Maharaj Ji but there are more more kids and they have all gone to Disneyland." So I looked at the kids I said "What are you doing here?" "So oh we do not have enough money so they went." We said, I said "would you like to go?" "Yeah you know I like to go." So anyway, no problem, arrange it for them, you know, they can sell them there. (scattered applause) and we can even get them their exclusive tickets so they can go in all these rides and it's as many times they want and uh whichever ride that they wanna. Just one ticket, show it. And the thing is this is what I'm trying to say is that those kids can put themselves in that Disney World, you know, for the whole life if they want it. Ride around the roller coasters, go up and down go on Ferris wheels. I mean, whatever, whatever they've got at this and go to Pirates, you know, Raid and all that. But is that really going to bring them the contentment? Temporarily, yes. Cause I mean, you know that I mean, you give a kid a chocolate and he eats it all up, real fast. He wants that satisfaction, wants that. To him that tastes good and so it's nice. He looks at you again. More. It's that more and we are like this in our lives too. All this contentment with that we get from this world is only temporary. All this contentment we that we get from this world is also only a fake, it's only an illusion and yet what Guru Maharaj Ji gives us is the true contentment and that's what we have to pursue in our lives, the absolute contentment, the real contentment and we can only do that if we surrender to Guru Maharaj Ji. There's nothing else in this world and when we completely surrender to Guru Maharaj Ji, when we completely let go to Guru Maharaj Ji, when we completely become one with Guru Maharaj Ji, then we experience the real experience, then we experience the real joy, then we experience that truth, then not an illusion, our eyes open up, the fog is lifted away and everything is clear. Everything is there, everything is there to be enjoyed and so that's what Guru Maharaj Ji wants to do with us. That's what, that is what the purpose of Guru Maharaj Ji is. To take us from what we are - nothing - and to make us everything by plugging us into that absolute truth, by plugging us into that constant and so premies, you know, I think Marolyn's gonna give Satsang and then hopefully Raja Ji will give Satsang, hopefully Claudia will give Satsang, hopefully, you know, and we can just sit and listen and enjoy and try to take those words, you know, in our heart, just experience. So maybe there will be another Satsang this evening again. I don't know but thank you very much. (45:45)
