Complete Discourse

Siddharth Ji Radhe-Radhe Maharaj Ji—I have come from Australia. I am very pleased to tell you. We are receiving joy in Australia. The naam jap is definitely happening in Australia, Maharaj Ji, and bhajan is happening too. Along with me, many young people of Melbourne are listening to your words with great love and faith and are bringing change in their lives.

Maharaj Ji, when the mind is trapped in some particular suffering or mental obstacle, what divine lila of Radha Krishna Ji, or what kind of meditation or remembrance should one keep in the mind so that the sadhak receives mental peace and spiritual..

At that time, contemplation of divine lilas cannot happen. When the mind is in extreme bliss, then lila contemplation takes place. When one is in sorrow, then satsang will work. Keep some specific satsangs that are helpful during difficult times. There have been satsangs about the mind, about despondency and depression, about work, about celibacy, about diet, about sleep—on so many subjects. So keep some chapters for yourself and listen to satsang from time to time when such situations arise. And remember one thing: you belong to God.

Now in your life, whatever happens will be for your wellbeing. Whatever heavy adversity or sorrow is sent to you is being sent for your wellbeing. Look at the result—there will be great wellbeing.

When Dropadi Ji saw that there was no one left to support her. When that situation comes. When Gajendra saw. It is in such moments that surrender happens.

So these difficulties are shocks through which our ego is broken. Without them, the sadhana remains ego. God has shown grace. We say: let the kidneys fail for lifetimes, but if there is love for the feet of our Beloved, what is wrong with it? What is the good of having a healthy body if we have no connection to God? Such a life—we should experience God's grace at all times.

Every adversity, every problem, every crisis—one word will rescue you from it. God has abundant grace upon us. This too is some auspicious arrangement of God. We are not able to understand it now. It will be revealed later.
