I've to come to your house, you have to come to my house. Uff! Teacher? I'm not that arrogant. Oh am I a Guru? The pride has gone away from it. Once the stature was pristine. But now everybody is a Guru- computer guru, television guru, tyre guru, kitchen appliance guru, stove guru.. what is this?
Once upon a time there was only one kind of Guru. And that Guru was 'Gu' means darkness, 'Ru' means light- that was called Guru. And now if somebody can make your refrigerator good again, he's a guru. So in any case, A mirror, to show you how beautiful you really are! Thats who I would rather be of all those. Because I can do that, I can do that quiet well. That's what the gift of knowledge, of life, of existence is. This is the possibility that you can be fulfilled. This is what the journey is all about. How do I know? I have felt it.

Title: Maharaji at Santa Monica, US in March 2010
Description: Maharaji launched his 2010 world tour at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, where he was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd of nearly 2,250. Although he was speaking to an audience of thousands, he began by making it clear that his words applied equally to each individual. "What is this message all about? Really, it goes back to what this life is all about, what this existence is all about," he said. "Even more so, it goes back to this little story that is yours. Your story."
His words profoundly touched many of his guests. Jennifer Edwards, actress and mother, commented, "I feel the utmost hope when I listen to him. I feel senses and nerve endings I never even knew I had. When I see him live, there’s a connection, an energy," she said. "I’ve never been an unhappy person. I’ve been able to make myself happy on the outside, but I always knew something was lacking. When I first heard Maharaji, what he said made total sense to me. I thought, Ah, that’s what I’ve been looking for."

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Salvage
Title: Salvage
Description: 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.

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Simply Amazing!
Title: Simply Amazing!
Description: 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.

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Your Blessing
Title: Your Blessing
Description: Brahmanand was a poet saint. He wrote beautiful things. What does he say, that without any foundation you support the structure of this entire universe. No pillars. Taking care of everything. And most importantly you have created a temple in the heart of every human being and come to reside in that temple. That is the pertinent news. That is the important piece of information. That in the heart of every human being you have made a temple and come to reside in that. And why do I think this is an important piece of information, not because this is a good theory. But I concur, I agree. Not because of a philosophy. Because I too feel a feeling that within me resides that power, that beauty.
And it is no co-incident that when I turn within, my heart is filled with joy. This is the gift, I am given. This is the blessing I am blessed with, when I go to this temple, I am blessed. The blessing is joy. The blessing is peace.
In my life I have to choose every single day because there is such a virtual world out there and it is so incredibly virtual, that to know the difference between the virtuality and reality, the line becomes so faded. And I cannot allow the line to become faded, I have to choose reality, my reality. Because reality is more beautiful.
The alternative, if you understand it, of this virtual and real saga, what you are looking at. Already, Tulsidas, who translated Ramayana, the incredible love story, in that its already he says, all that you see is virtual. All that you see is illusion. As far as your eyes can see is all illusion, is all virtual. If you want reality, turn within.
Problem we are having, all what we see, we dont like but we dont understand why we dont like it. So, we create an alternative world in which our fantacies can come true. So says Tulsidas, so says Kabir. Turn within and all your fantacies will come true. Your trues wish will come true. Kingdom of heaven is within you. If you choose. If you choose and you must choose everyday. If you choose to look within you will find it. If you choose not to look, you will not find it. Its as simple as that.

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - The Ageless
Title: The Ageless
Description: 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.

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - The Most Amazing Miracle
Title: The Most Amazing Miracle
Description: There is something so amazing inside of you, that you cannot comprehend. That there is something so beautiful inside of you, that you cannot compare, because you have never felt anything as beautiful as that. Your imagination can only take you so far, but in the realm of this heart, in the realm of this inner beauty, there is something that is indeed divine. Not by your making, but by its very nature. This life is about the most incredible union of the finite and the infinite. This is where the two have come together. This is where you get to feel the divine that resides within you.
From dust you came, to dust you will go. And the magic of those two things, the beginning of the end is so you can be fulfilled, thats when this is about. That out of dirt, a doll is made and in front of your eyes this doll walks, talks, dances, thinks, thats not a miracle? Thats the most amazing miracle. But of all those miracles there is another miracle that happens, and this is the miracle of the breath which comes into you from nowhere and every time it comes, it brings you the gift of life.

Prem Rawat - Maharaji - A Source Within
Title: A Source Within
Description: If I feel in my life, that I am poor, then I must find a wealth, that is so far beyond all the riches of this earth and that nobody can take away from me. If I feel in my life that I am poor, then I need to discover my truest riches because those riches do not fluctuate like the stock market. Those riches cannot be taxed. Those riches are there and there for the rest of your life.
And if you feel hungry then find a source of being full, that does not waver. And if you feel thirsty, then find a well, find a spring, that never runs dry. And if your home is too small then find a home inside, within you, that is larger than the largest palace on the face of this earth. And if you feel that you want to look beautiful then find a beauty that is more beautiful than any beauty on the face of this earth.
This is the possiblity. This is what you have been given. This is indeed, what your and my heart desires. Fulfillment- to feel complete. To be aware of all the gifts I am being given.
