00:00This is how people are, you know.
00:04They don't appreciate what they have in life.
00:09In spite of going through trials, they don't appreciate.
00:16They forget, they make themselves forget about it.
00:21But Bhagavan didn't want that Sudharma forget about Him.
00:28Because in our easy life, we try to forget about God.
00:39We think about ourselves only.
00:43But Sudharma, no.
00:47He came to the point, even all the saints, when we look at their life,
00:52it's not an easy life.
00:54You know, they have, Bhagavan tests them,
00:59bring them to the edge of the cliff, even push them down, you know.
01:06But who was down is only Him.
01:13When Prajata Maharaj was thrown from the cliff,
01:16was He bothered about
01:20who is down?
01:23No.
01:24He saw that love of God
01:27at each moment of His life.
01:31Even in the face of death,
01:34He was not scared.
01:36He didn't doubt Bhagavan, you know.
01:41what was always, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.
01:46That is the secret of His name, you know.
01:51But in any moment,
01:53He didn't have doubt.
01:56Look, when something happens into your life,
01:59you call yourself devotee.
02:01Yes or no?
02:03Hmm?
02:05Call, that's what I'm saying.
02:07How quickly
02:09can you doubt?
02:14So quickly.
02:17So quickly,
02:19you will be the first one
02:21to curse
02:24when something doesn't go the way you want.
02:31because we think that
02:33because we believe
02:35in God,
02:36it has to be the way.
02:37We, we,
02:38our life has to be smooth
02:39and
02:41wonderful.
02:45No.
02:47Are we sincere
02:49towards Him?
02:52And in that sincerity,
02:53how
02:54long
02:56will I
02:56strive for Him?
02:59You know?
03:00How long
03:01will I
03:02stand
03:02in His presence
03:04without
03:06deviating?
03:07How long
03:08will I
03:08keep
03:09my mind
03:10fixed
03:10upon Him
03:12without
03:13doubting Him?
03:19Doubting
03:20even
03:20a single
03:21grain
03:23was not
03:24in Sudama.
03:26That's why
03:27Bhagwan embraced Him.
03:30That's why
03:30Bhagwan even
03:31washed His feet.
03:34It is not,
03:36you see,
03:36once you have
03:37committed yourself
03:38and you stand
03:38by your commitment,
03:40it is not you
03:41who have to go to Him.
03:42He Himself
03:43will run to you.
03:48And that is
03:49the commitment
03:51where Sudama
03:52stands
03:52when He was
03:53even at the gate
03:54of Krishna's palace.
03:58He didn't go there
03:59to ask
04:01Krishna for anything.
04:06He went there
04:08for Krishna.
04:13that is what
04:14Sudama and
04:15Krishna's
04:16relationship
04:17is about,
04:17you know.
04:20Look how
04:21Krishna
04:21runs to Him.
04:23Those great
04:24saints who have
04:24committed
04:26themselves
04:27to Bhagwan,
04:28Bhagwan
04:29by His own
04:31echo
04:31runs to them.
04:42but are we
04:43sincere
04:44about that?
04:46Are we
04:47sincere
04:48with our
04:48commitment?
04:50When life
04:51goes very
04:52nicely,
04:53yes,
04:53we are
04:54committed.
04:55When everything
04:56goes smoothly
04:57in our life,
04:59everything is
05:00fine.
05:00we can sit,
05:02meditate,
05:03chant,
05:03we can worship,
05:05we can love,
05:06we can do all
05:06these things.
05:07It's easy.
05:11But when
05:12challenges come,
05:14do you keep
05:15the same faith?
05:16Do you keep
05:17the same strength?
05:18Do you keep
05:18the same love?
05:20Do you keep
05:21the same
05:22enjoyment?
05:24This is where
05:26it will be
05:27determined,
05:27you know,
05:28whether you are
05:28truly a devotee
05:29or not?
05:32Vielen Dank.
