Have you ever been bored? [01:14 min] Have you ever been bored? You don't have to answer that. But may I present a thought- how could you be bored ever, when the most exciting thing is happening in your life?
Did you know, if you today you waste a day, it's a tragedy. It'll never come back. That's why you need to be so conscious!

European Parliament in Brussels [24:23 min] Mr. Rawat spoke of the universal need for peace to a diverse audience of Members of

• the European Parliament
• Diplomats
• Local leaders
• honored guests from many countries

In my opinion the ideal should be to have peace on this earth, where people feel and celebrate having peace. We talk about prosperity; in my formula, and this is only because I've observed, Prosperity without peace is chaos. Everybody is wondering what is going on? Isn't just a few years ago everybody was proud- 'Yes the Economy!' Then all of a sudden, prosperity without peace leads to chaos. If we want to avoid this chaos, then we've to work on what peace really is. That peace is not a monastery, peace is not absence of noise, not absence of war. Peace is not a declaration. Peace is a fundamental human need that needs to be felt from within. I'm paraphrasing the UN charter- "It's in the minds of men, of human beings, that the wars are created". That's where it comes from. And I just want to add this much "That it is from the hearts of the human beings that peace will be created"

There are people who give 5 reasons or 6 reasons why there shouldn't be peace on this earth. I've 6.5 billion reason on why there should be peace on this earth! This is the time when the nations need to come together. Because remember it is those Kings and rulers in whose rule peace reigned that were considered the most successful ruler- and prosperity followed. These are not impossible dreams. This can be a reality that we can have. Question remains whether we want to do it or not.

At the end of the event Vice President of European Parliament and Italian MEP, Mr. Gianni Pittella, personally thanked Mr. Rawat for his insights, declaring that:

"Today, peace is considered an irreplaceable factor in every effort for a society that is based on the dignity of the individual and on common welfare.
However, any effort for peace made by institutions cannot fully succeed if the value of peace is not deeply rooted in every person's heart."

The Time has Come [04:17 min] You want to do something really fun? Really cool? Really neat? Really beautiful? Really worth doing? Do you? Then work on bringing peace on earth. Lot of people, I think are waiting that some people on the moon are gonna come and bring peace to us. It is not happening. We have to take care on our own, all of us. Because scientifically its proven, a biiig distance is nobody else, except us. So, start to like your neighbour because you know what, you are stuck with them. Nobody else around, except us. Good, bad, right, wrong, us, us, us. I am so proud of all of you who could come to participate in not definition of peace, but to realize the possibility, that maybe, through our efforts, one day, there will be peace on earth. If we can go to the moon. Why not? It’s an old idea, I agree. May be, having peace on earth, is a very old idea. But may be the time has come, the time has come. The time is now.

Success [09:44 min] This event was recorded on July 23, 2009 in a television studio in Bristol, England. An enthusiastic group of university students and young professionals requested the opportunity to meet with Prem Rawat in a casual setting to speak candidly with him about his work in the world. Following is a question which one of the students asked him about success, and Maharaji answered the perfect way.

Question: First of all, I just want to say thanks for what you do. It is really encouraging to see that someone would spend so much time to make peace. And I think you do, and I want to say thanks for that. My question is to someone who wants to have a successful life. I guess my question is what you consider to be real success and how that might relate to peoples ambitions and their career.

Maharaji: Well, you know success is when you feel successful. There could be people who, by the definition of this world are extremely successful. But they don’t feel successful, so they have to succeed by pushing themselves even more, and more, and more and more.
You read these stories, once in a while, they come out, and they are like so and so killed themselves. And you go, wait a minute, the person was such a good actor, he was so accoomplished, he was so good, his career was just taking off, how could he do that. You know, you looked at the list of the world that said well, this person was successful, but that person did not feel successful. Then you might have a farmer who has not much. May be, no education, nothing in terms of worldly possesssions and may be, not even a long list of ambitions, but one day he goes out and he looks at his crop and its just beautiful. Just golden wheat, waving in the wind, not a cloud in the sky. The crop is almost ready. Everything is good and it brings a smile to his face because he has succeeded. He feels the success.
You can always try to say, I need to be successful in this world. But first of all, first thing is first, are you successful as a human being? Because if you are not successful as a human being, it does not matter what you have gathered. What you have accomplished. You are not going to feel successful.
So, what does it mean to be successful as a human being? Well, it begins with those simple things. The ability to enjoy and to use that ability. The ability to be kind and to use the ability to be kind. See this is the thing and you have this. And it isn’t a question of, I wish I was kinder. Well you have more kindness in you than you will ever need. But do you consciously use that kindness. You have in you all the clarity that you could ever, ever want or desire, but will you use that? And we become very good, at anger, we become very good, at judgement. Everybody judges us, we turn around judge everybody else. I am not this, or I am this, or I have done this, or I haven’t done this, I want to do this and so we come with a list and off course the world just chips in. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Right now, this particular time, started few months ago and its really interesting because that word "Success" has come to a grinding halt. All these people, who were just, were successful. I mean there was not a question if they weren’t successful. Their report card said A++++. They were the ones who were literally setting the bar that all of us would aspire to be at. All of a sudden went into a tizzy. Some actually committed suicide. Some are in jail. Some are packing to go to jail. Fortunes have been destroyed and people are wondering what happened. Well, would you say, could those people, even in their bad situation, could they feel successful? Well, no, not when you look at the report card of the world. They are bad people. All of a sudden, they have turned from successful to really bad people. But they are still human beings, they are still alive. Does that mean anything?
We have jails, prisons overflowing around the world. Are they not people? Are they not human beings? Do they have no good in them? Because potentially, we all carry the good and carry the bad. It is our conscious decision that makes the difference. Whether we judge or don’t judge, it is our conscious decision, whether we commit a crime or don’t, or try not to.
And this is that realm, that is of great interest to me. Because if you are successful as a human being, you’ve got it. You have got it made. If you want to be a magician, thats fine, but thats your gift. That is your exploration of the gift that you have. See, I believe everybody has a gift, we need to find what that is and get on with it. And you may ultimately, one day, play so well, so well that you like it. And it may not bring you all the fame in the world. The gold discs, and the platinum discs, nothing. But you enjoy it. Would you consider that to be successful or unsuccessful. I would consider that to be successful.

Events with Prem Rawat [09:24 min] The charged up compilation video showcasing a typical year that is lived by Prem Rawat! Videos of Maharaji's events are aired in many countries around US, UK, Brazil, and Australia. It has received awards and rewards in most countries for being a positive change in people's lives.

This is about us, this is about being alive. This is the opportunity- Take that opportunity. You're not going to be here forever. You're not. Don't be under any illusion. But don't let that sadden you and don't let that madden you. Just feel the urgency of today, that's all. Just put that sharpness on what it means to be alive today. What is important is this breath, look at that!

Lot of exciting things, I think a lot of events are going to happen. Indian, not the most together people in this world, but when it comes to putting up events on Peace, they just outdid themselves. Some of these events you see with 100,000 people, 5000 people are with Knowledge. Rest all are guests, they are all invited. I've satted a stage with 250,000 people looking at me. You have gone to football field where 100,000 or 150,000 people are there. But they are not looking at you. I've been in the place where 250,000 people are looking at me and I'm looking at them- Just a human beings. I really just like to see a person as a human being. Not as man-woman, rich-poor, this-that, just human being.

Professor: (from IIT Delhi in NRCVEE) I would like to know from you Maharaji, what message do you have for millions of poor people in this country. They have lots and lots of problem. What kind of message would you have for them?

Maharaji: My message to them is exactly same as for the one has two square meals a day. And not two meters, but miles of land to them. Because after you have eaten and your hunger is gone, there is still inner contentment to be had. It is upto us to take away the poverty from the face of this earth. And may be that solution begins when a person can feel the peace in their life and they finally look around to see what is possible.

On the Road with Prem Rawat [06:22 min] The video shows compilation of various places having events of Maharaji. Also includes some beautiful expressions and interactions. Also gives an insight on what is happening around, lately!

What is being taught? The value of each breath is being taught. The value of this existence is being taught. When I feel that true Gratitude, it evokes me, not a society, not an idea or concepts. When I say all this, it is not meant to be just words, it has to be real for you. Thats when it matters. So many of you have come here, and it's been a while since you have been to a live event. It wonderful to be here, to see each other eye to eye and say "It's not a TV". Because you are alive, be alive!

Lady: I just would like to thank you for everything you have done in my life. But mostly today I would like to thank you for the human effort. Your presence, attention, commitment makes this happen. To me it was so special!

Another: I just wanted to tell you how absolutely beautiful my life has been and continues to be, since I first heard you and received knowledge 25 years back. I just feel so proud when I see your press release, what you have done around the world, whether speaking at Italian Parliament, or what you have done for the Tsunami.

Maharaji: Thank you very much, but I dint do anything for the Tsunami. What can I do with Tsunami, Tsunami is already over. But I did something for the victims of the Tsunami! TPRF is doing some Good stuff and trying to take care of people who need the help. Clean water and food are very very important. The greatest gift you can give anyone is the gift of joy. The Gift of peace is the greatest gift you can given anybody- Hungry or not hungry, believe me. Peace Rules!

The Presence [07:04 min] Why do I forget what is important? What am I saving for the last? The possibility of being in peace, am I saving it for the last? Time up! Change your plans, change of plans are required. Peace, without which, we would lose the very fabric of who we are. Peace that dances in the heart of everyone, thats the peace I am talking about.
The reality, the beauty, the joy, the true peace. Not an absence of something, but the very presence of something. Not an abstract concept. No, you have the last word. You have to feel that feeling in your life. Look at this existence, look at this little thing happening, it is amazing, it is unique. You know there is no one like you on the face of this whole world, not even if you have a twin. Slightly different. There is no one like you and there will be no one like you after you go. This is your time to make that understanding happen. To begin to understand.
And here is the concrete thing, to start to realize that all that you ever want, you have. Begin by understanding it and every day remembering, what is important to you, as a human being. That you were born and you are alive and thats it, you are alive. That is a blessing unparalleled. And I just wanted to come and remind you of that. Because in times of trouble we forget and what do we forget, we forget the most important thing. And thats what gets the center of trouble. You know this. Everything what I have said you know. And not only you need to know, but now is the time to understand that. You know peace is beautiful but now the time has come to actually feel that peace in your life.
And nobody is too young and nobody is too old. Never, because this is the matter of life. One life, one existence, one incredible gift, this existence that you have been given.

Simply Amazing! [10:37 min] Is it possible for me in my life to keep such a company of that one most beautiful thing that I begin to take on the traits of it. Thats the significance of what I am saying. That if I in my life allow and keep the company of ignorance then I too, will take on, the characteristics of ignorance. I just said that maybe this will give us hope and this is what I mean by giving us hope that if I keep the company of clarity, then I too in my life will begin to take on the characteristics, the qualities of clarity. Thats the hope.
For me, if I want to have that beautiful aroma of understanding in my life, then I need to keep the company of understanding. That if I want to glow in the glow coming from the brightness then I too need to keep the company of the light. If I do, it is possible to pick up on those characteristics. And if this is remotely possible. Just happens to be this much true. Wow! What a possibility exists in my life.
One thing Kabir does say, that the master is a washerman and the student is the cloth. The soap, is knowledge. And when on the stone of practice, this cloth is washed with that soap of knowledge again and again and again and again. The cloth begins to sparkle. Lot of people think that the invention of cloth-washing soap, the concept, the big advertising, "It Sparkles", came recently. No, the idea of the sparkling cloth came a long time ago. But it was’nt just a piece of cloth of cotton, it was you. And look at it in its entirety, without giving it interpretation. What Kabir is saying is, you need to sparkle, you need to shine bright. Because that is your potential, that is your possibility.
Listen to the human being that you are. What is your need? Your truest need is to be content. Thats your truest need. That there is a thirst that each one of you has. And you may not be aware of it. But you know about it. A quest to be fulfilled, to be in peace. And how beautiful is that. Keep the right company and you will take on, soak in the traits. Then keep the company of knowledge. Keep the company of remembrance of this breath and you will begin to remember this breath. Keep the company of light and you will begin to glow in that light. This is what you need to do. Because this is the true transformation of human being, transforming back to being a "Being", a true being, existence. Not all the other things that happen.
To be in this life, to be simple. To be in this life, to be conscious. You want to avoid problems in your life, just be conscious. One second of being conscious, can save you a whole lifetime of trouble. Just one second. Knowledge is a powerful thing, amazingly powerful. You have it. Listening to the master is an amazinlgly powerful thing and this is available to you.

Salvage [09:54 min] To come and be inspired, because I have touched in you the true voice of reason, that the reason is from your heart. Thats what inspiration is. Inspiration is to touch that voice of reasoning, that reason spelled by the heart.
When you leave this world, what do you think you will take with you, when you wont even be able to your own body. Such a definitive distinction between that real you and the you you think you are. Now why am I telling you this? To scare you, No. This is what is going to happen. The idea is to take as much as possible, salvage as much as possible, before this happens.

The Ageless [09:35 min] This body (Nartan) is the vessel to go across this ocean. The coming and the going of the breath is the blessing. What you need, is the master with strong arms who can row the boat across. Doesn't matter where it comes from, I like it! Because it is a simple formula for very complex things in the world. This is the vessel (pointing to the self). Journey from unfulfillment to fulfilment- that's the ocean.
