00:16A devotee is asking, Radhe, O Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
00:27A devotee is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
00:57A devotee is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
01:05A devotee is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
01:14A devotee is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
01:38Radhe is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
02:01A devotee is asking, Radhe, now don't delay, come to me.
02:14Kishori mori, ab na lagao baar.
02:21Kishori mori, mori means my.
02:26Oh my Radhe, that word has a deep feeling.
02:34Because you are mine, then why don't you come to me?
02:41Radhe, it's a very, very long time I had forgotten you.
02:48Appears like millions and millions of years passed without you.
02:57But now I realize that how foolish I was to ignore your grace and to ignore your love.
03:10So now I understand your kindness.
03:16Oh Radhe, now please don't delay, come to me.
03:22Maangat bheek kripa ki keval khalo ti haare yadwa.
03:29I am just asking what you say.
03:32I am just begging, O Radhe, maangat bheek, begging.
03:38Begging for your grace, that's all.
03:41Just begging for your grace.
03:44Maangat bheek kripa ki, kripa means grace, keval means only.
03:49Kharo ti haare yadwaar.
03:52I am standing in front of your door.
03:55That has some special meaning.
04:00Means when you are asking for something, you may ask casually, leisurely, carelessly,
04:10faithlessly, hopelessly, with partial hope, little more hope.
04:15Many states of asking.
04:21When you are really desperate, you need something and you are asking for that thing, then you are fully alert.
04:29Suppose you are starving for three days, no food.
04:33Imagine.
04:35You never start for three days, none of you.
04:38But when you have started for three days, then you could imagine the pain of hunger.
04:46You do fast one day here in the ashram, semi-fast.
04:53And imagine, sometimes you become so restless without salt and sugar and other things.
05:03So, if one has no food for a few days, he is really hungry.
05:09And if somebody has a lot of food with him, he is having a picnic, he just comes and asks,
05:22please give me some food.
05:25He is not saying, oh, hey, please send some food from over there.
05:30No.
05:32He can't say like that.
05:34He has to be humble.
05:36He has to go over there, stand up, bow down a little, be humble, and then humbly request, please, please,
05:46give me some food.
05:47I am hungry for three days.
05:51And the man who has food, he may give, he may not give.
05:56This is begging, this is asking properly, asking with humbleness.
06:03So, the devotee says that not only three days, or three months, or three years,
06:10for millions of lifetimes, I am hungry of your love, thirsty of your love.
06:18I feel unprotected without your protection.
06:22I feel like an orphan without your hand on my head.
06:29Oh, Radhi.
06:30So, I am now desperate.
06:33I need you.
06:35I need your love, grace, and kindness.
06:38So, please give me your love.
06:42Khalo Tihare Dwar.
06:44Khalo means I, devotee is alert.
06:47He is not lying, or reclining, or sitting, or spacing out.
06:54He is alert in standing, khalo, or as I am standing, in front of your door.
07:03And will keep on standing until you grace me.
07:08This is the feeling that develops slowly through devotion.
07:16Alertness means not being careless.
07:20And being careless is nature of every human being.
07:24To be careless.
07:26To go into the world, look worldly beauty, be attracted, is human nature.
07:37Being vainful is all human nature.
07:40But they are all rajas nature of a human being.
07:45The sattvic nature is to be humble, to be devotional.
07:51So, a devotee has to develop sattvic nature and suppress rajas nature.
08:00That's called Abhyas Vairag.
08:02Abhyas Vairag means keeping your mind away from worldly attractions.
08:08Just fulfilling your social, family, office duties, whatever is required.
08:15Then rest of the time coming back to the remembrance of Radha and Krishna.
08:22In not wasting the time which we waste uselessly.
08:27No one can work 10-15 hours.
08:31Hardly you work 5-6 hours.
08:37Real stressful work I am saying.
08:41Say 8 hours maximum.
08:43Real.
08:44And your mind is alert in that thing.
08:47You may sit in the office for 12 hours.
08:51But in between you just work and then just take a cup of coffee and relax and think and again
08:57do some work and again relax and again do some work.
09:00I am talking of hard work.
09:03Then you concentrate.
09:05So, apart from that hard work where you need your full complete attention in your job, in your service, apart
09:15from that, there are many hours in day and night which you simply waste.
09:22Thinking useless things.
09:25Wasting time here and there.
09:26So, devotee uses all of that time.
09:30Does not waste any of such time.
09:35That's alertness.
09:38Because I think he has wasted a lot of time in the past.
09:41Why to waste now?
09:46And the intensity of your understanding, that makes you not to waste time.
09:56The deeply you understand the importance of this human life, the deeply you understand the grace of Radha and Krishna,
10:04the less you waste time.
10:07This is what you say that I really understand, my Radha.
10:11You are my heart and soul.
10:15You are my life.
10:17In true sense.
10:19That I realize.
10:21So, khalo tihari dwara.
10:23O Radha, I am standing waiting for your grace.
10:34Rasikan, he says, all those great masters, acharyas of Braj.
10:43Rasikan, Mukha, Asasuni, I heard.
10:48Deen ko aadari yahi darwar.
10:51They said that Radha and Krishna, in their darwar, in their presence, deen ko aadari.
11:11Those who are simple-hearted, humble devotees, they are respected.
11:18Others to give respect.
11:20To consider.
11:22So, only those who are considered, who are humble.
11:27Those who are vain, they are not considered.
11:31So, Radha, I am deen.
11:34Because I have no other refuge.
11:38I have nothing to hold on except your grace and your lotus feet.
11:43And I have no other hope in the world of any kind.
11:46So, I have come to you asking for grace.
11:50Please, grace me with your kindness.
11:56Deer ho th andher nahi bas yeh raho adhaar.
12:01There is a local saying in India.
12:06There is a delay in God's kingdom, but not injustice.
12:13Deer ho th andher nahi.
12:15There is no injustice.
12:17There could be a delay in the spiritual kingdom.
12:23He is saying, Deer ho th andher nahi.
12:27It may be a little delay, but things are considered correctly.
12:37Bas yeh raho adhaar.
12:40O Radhe, I am holding to that faith.
12:45That sooner or later you will grace me.
12:49Because I have come to you.
12:52I am not leaving your door.
12:57No way I could back out.
13:00It doesn't matter how long you take.
13:05One year, two year, ten year, one lifetime, two lifetime, whatever it is.
13:10Your option, I am not going to leave.
13:15Sometimes people ask, when can they have God realization?
13:21They think it is like picking a carrot from the field and eating.
13:27They should know that how much wrongs they have done in the past.
13:37Millions and billions and billions of wrongs and transgressions and things they have committed.
13:45How much they have attachment in the world at that moment when they ask the question?
13:51A lot.
13:53You don't realize your attachment.
13:55You think, oh, I am not attached to my TV, to my car.
14:02I just remember one thing.
14:04Once lady told me, I am not attached to anything.
14:08Yes, I want God.
14:11And she had bought not a new car.
14:15It was six months old.
14:18So I drove her car and put a dent.
14:22Not in the front.
14:24On the back fender.
14:26Little, a few inches.
14:30When she saw that, she was so disgusted and, oh my God, it has a dent.
14:39She couldn't sleep that night.
14:42She couldn't say a word to me because she said she has no attachment.
14:46But she was so awfully upset.
14:50People say things.
14:53When that thing is destroyed, then you know if you have attachment or not.
14:57When that thing is destroyed in front of your eyes.
15:02So people have attachment to their belongings, things, physical body, relations, family, everything, friends.
15:12So, in spite of all those attachments and doing some devotion sometime in 24 hours,
15:23you can only ask how long it takes to receive God realization.
15:30Logically, if you commit a sin, you are supposed to undergo that penance.
15:38Yes, justice.
15:40You have been in the worldly atmosphere for, say, 1,000 hours.
15:48At least 1,000 hours devotion should take to undo that.
15:55That's justice and logic.
15:58And if that logic has lied, no soul can receive God realization.
16:03No soul, I am saying.
16:06Absolutely no soul.
16:09God is so kind.
16:12Krishna is so kind.
16:14He just redeems all that.
16:17Ignores, finishes, burns.
16:21You say, oh, Radhe, oh, Krishna, I want you, with some faith and love.
16:32And Radhe, she thought of raising the soul.
16:39So, as compared to your wrong doings, as compared to your devotional doings, if both are compared,
16:48a little devotional doing redeems hundreds of times of sins and negativities.
16:59That if you think it's taking a long time, it's your mindlessness.
17:05So, never think like that.
17:09The mantra, all the scriptures say, the word is sahasra.
17:15Thousands of lifetimes of regular devotion may reveal the vision of God.
17:24So, this devotee says, oh, Radhe, I know everything.
17:29I am standing here.
17:30It doesn't matter if it takes one lifetime or a million lifetime.
17:34I am standing here.
17:36I am not going back, oh, Radhe.
17:39Because I have learned.
17:41Where to go back?
17:42In the world, same thing there.
17:46Same thing is there.
17:48I have to come back.
17:50So, when I have to come back, why should I think of going back?
17:54Whatever time it takes, let it take.
17:57But I am sure that you will come when the time will come.
18:03So, when I am not going back, I am not going back.

19:13If you delay to come to me , don't think, my Radhe.
19:25That I will leave your door and go back into the world.
19:29So don't think that if you delay then I may go back into the world.
19:34If you want to test me, you can test me if you want.
19:38But , means mindless, brainless, hati, stubborn, gamar means dope.
19:53I am a stubborn, mindless, dope.
19:56Stubborn, mindless, dope?
19:58Yes.
19:59He said I was mindful a long time ago.
20:02Now I am mindless, because my mind has been taken by you, so I am mindless.
20:10My heart is taken by you.
20:14I have given you my heart.
20:17And stubborn, stubborn from worldly side.
20:24I am so stubborn that I can never think of going back into the world.
20:31From worldly side I am fully stubborn.
20:37Nobody else can confuse my mind.
20:42No yogi, no jnani, no mahatma, no scripture, no teachings, no philosophy, no mission, no
20:49organization, no book.
20:51Nothing could confuse me.
20:53I am so dope.
20:55I have one thing in my brain.
20:57You are mine.
20:58That's it.
21:00World is not mine.
21:01I am so stubborn.
21:02God.
21:02So, Radhi, I have all those qualities and I have gained those qualities after a long, long
21:08time.
21:09So please, come to me.
21:13Whenever you like to come to me, whenever you like to come to me, and in the end, the
21:18last line,
21:25When he was saying, talking to Radha like that, so he felt Radha very closely.
21:38But when he opened his eyes, Radha was not there.
21:44So he says, O Radhe, just please, sneak away from Gopis and Krishna and come to me quietly.
21:54I don't tell anybody.
21:56It's just a loving expression he says, Aajai Yekbar, just once come to me.
22:05And once is forever.
22:11If you have a vision once, it only happens once, and then that remains forever.
22:25So in this way, that devotee is talking to her, his Radhe, that O Radhe, I am yours forever.
22:37I am not going back into the world, and I am waiting for you, please.
22:42Whenever you feel like coming to me, come to me, please.
22:51You
