ŚHRĪ RĀJA JANAKA in the Words of ŚHRĪ MĀTĀJĪ
"You know, King Janaka was called as Videha. The great Sage Nārada asked Him one day, "Revered Sir, how are you called as Videha? You live in this world, how can you be a Videha?" Rāja Janaka said, "This is very simple. I will tell you about it in the evening. Now, please do this little job for Me. There is milk in this bowl. You take this bowl and come along with Me. Please see that not a single drop of milk is spilled on the earth. Then only will I tell you why I am called Videha."
Nārada took the bowl and followed Janaka everywhere. He had to be very careful because the bowl was such that by the slightest movement the milk might have spilled. He got quite tired.
When they retired for the evening Nārada asked, "Please tell me now. I am getting quite fed up with carrying this bowl of milk and following You everywhere at the same time." Rāja Janaka said, "First of all, tell Me what you have seen?" Nārada replied, "Nothing except this bowl of milk so that it won't spill." Rāja Janaka said, "Didn't you see that there was a big procession in My honor? Then there was a court wherein there was a program of dancing? Didn't you see anything?" Nārada answered, "No, Sir. I have not seen anything." Rāja Janaka said, "My child, likewise with Me. I also see nothing. All the time I just watch My attention, where it is going, making sure it won't spill away like the milk." "

"You can read Nāṇaka, Kabīr Dās, you read Vasiṣhṭha, read about the Guru of Gurus Janak. Not only in our country but also in the foreign countries they have been writing like this for thousands of years. They have all been writing about which I am talking."

"She is the Mother. If you can think of: She is the Mother of all the Mothers.
How a mother sees her child, She sees Her Creation.
First, She creates through the Divine Power, acting on the Material Power, all the Creation.
And then, She comes again and again, again and again, in three different forms.
She comes as a Mother Herself. Then She is most powerful and expressive.
As She has come, you know, as Nava Durgā She has come, as Mother Mary She has come, as Quan Yin She has come. She has come in many forms in many parts of the world. She came as Muhammad's daughter, She came as Nāṇaka's sister, She came as Janaka's daughter. Only one person, all the time, coming in this world in different forms."

"To make the people cross the Void (Bhavasāgara) He has to make some arrangement. So the Great Power like Brahmā, Viṣhṇu, Maheśha was created and They were placed in the Area of Dharma.
Dattātreya and Ādi Gurus incarnated in this world many a times. He incarnated as King Janaka who was like the father of Ādi Śhakti. After that He incarnated in Iran as Zoroaster, then as Macchindranāth, then as Muhammad Sāheb and Nāṇak Sāheb.
No one fought with each other. See what type of darkness you are in?
Fāṭimah, the daughter of Muhammad Sāheb was the same who became daughter of King Janaka.
Whom are you fighting? Think over it.
The Nāṇakī of Guru Nāṇaka was none else but Jānakī.
Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth was also an Ādi Guru.
They are the Masters of all.
Also, They are My Gurus. These Ādi Gurus taught Me all this Knowledge. In different Incarnations They kept Me teaching.
Ultimately I had to come and do His work. They could not do it and now They are placing Me as a Guru so that I take up the job of a Guru.
There was an age when no one was willing to accept a woman as a Guru but in Kali Yuga only Mother could do His work: it is beyond the power of men.
This work could not be done by force, only the love of a Mother could do it because already there is so much pressure, tension in this world. The day it is forced upon the human being they will break down. So, love is the only way out.
So this Gurudom was given to Me. Everything is acceptable to Me.
But I didn't know the qualities of a Guru.
Gurus maintain distance but mother does not keep distance with the children. Children sit on her head.
So, you people also could take liberty with Me and enjoy. Be with Me with full freedom, you will neither be afraid nor be embarrassed. There is no problem, you could come and talk to Me boldly about your problems. You could complain to Me as you do to your mother. I am freely available to you.
Freedom was needed, religion was required to be discussed openly, there is no secret, no secret about it. Ultimately everything has to be explained very clearly. All the secrets are to be told about, everything could not be said everywhere."

"But before reaching the Heart chakra, the gap I showed you, is all the Bhavasāgara. In the center is the seat of Śhrī Viṣhṇu, and on it Śhrī Brahmadeva creates the whole universe. He made this Bhavasāgara.
After creating the Bhavasāgara, the question was, 'How to cross it over? The human being was created, but how to make him realize it? How to make human beings recognize it? In him, how to activate the Brahma Tattwa?' Meaning, 'How to get the Union of Śhiva and Śhakti within him? How would the connection be established?'
For this, a special personality was created in this world. This was created by the combined essence of Brahmā, Viṣhṇu, and Maheśh, who we acknowledge as Śhrī Dattātreya. Śhrī Dattātreya is none other than Ādi Guru.
He is My Guru. He has mentored Me all His past lives.
If you hear about His birth and all His previous lives you would be amazed. We have forgotten such a great thing.
Śhrī Dattātreya's Incarnations are numerous. Firstly He came as King Janaka. Śhrī Sītājī was His daughter, who was the embodiment of Śhakti Herself. Then He came as Macchindranāth, Zoroaster, and Muhammad Sāhab, who were a completely different type of human being.
They trialed out lots of different things.
Śhrī Datta, the Primordial Masters firstly in this world educated us about the symbolic forms within us. And then also said that, "You people got entangled in symbolism, in idol worshiping." Their meaning was to go beyond and recognize the Śhakti within these idols. That's why They talked about the idols.
For example, there is a flower, and to describe the honey within the flower, They talked about the flower first, from which the people would taste the honey. But people got stuck to flower. So Then they took Incarnations and talked about the honey.
In that, They talked about God in the abstract. They deliberately didn't talk about the reincarnation of life.
Because as soon as you talk about past lives, people ask Me, "Mātājī, tell me about my past lives." The life that has passed, why do you want to know that? Whether you were a king or a pauper, what difference it will make?
That's why They did not discuss past lives.
Muhammad Sāhab was the same, Dattātreya's Incarnation, and the same Incarnation was King Janaka. The same Incarnation was Nāṇaka, whose sister Nāṇakī, was the same Ādi Śhakti. She was Sītājī."

"The same Śhrī Dattā incarnated many a times on the Earth.
As I told you yesterday, King Janaka was one of Them. King Janaka was the father of Jānakī [Śhrī Sītā]. He was none other than the Incarnation of Śhrī Dattātreya.
Thereafter, Macchindranāth, most have you must have heard His name, was also His Incarnation.
After that Zoroaster who came three times on the Earth, He was also His Incarnation.
......
They were all Muhammads, They were all Dattātreyas, who came on Earth regularly.
......
The talk of seeking this Absolute Principle, residing just inside the heart, has been made since ancient times by these Ādi Gurus, who are incarnated on this Earth again and again.
......
For this reason I will give an example of King Janaka. Once a very great arch called Nachiketa went to the King Janaka. He was first suspicious and eager. He asked his guru, "Why do you pay visit to Him since He is a householder and also a king and then why do you bow down before Him and touch His Feet? He is a householder person!" Then he replied, "OK, you should go to the place of King Janaka and stay there. You know that He is called as a Videhi [Videha, incorporeal], He was a dehati [a country person]."
When Nachiketa lived with Him then he saw that there was so much wealth, people were eating and living comfortably. The King enjoyed all type of meals. He roams and has children, such a Man, and how it is possible that this Man should know God?
Next day he told that, "I am leaving just now, I'm just leaving now. I do not have to live here." Then King said, "OK, let's go for a bath first." They went to bath in a river. He took him to Sharayū [Sarayū] River for bath. While bathing in a river, suddenly somebody informed that, "O Lord, Your palace is on fire." King Janaka said, "Let it be, just now I'm in meditation," He replied with a smile. This poor Nachiketa got little worried. After a while people told that, "All of Your family member have to run away and fire is fast approaching You." Then He said, "To hell with it, now I'm in meditation." Afterwards they said that, "Fire has reached up to here and all Your ornaments and clothes will get burnt." All the bodyguards also ran away. This Nachiketa, whose one or two clothes were lying outside, he thought that, 'If these too were burnt, then what will happen to him [me]?' So he also ran outside. He picked up all his clothes. Even then He was in meditation.
When He came back, Nachiketa was very much surprised. He asked, "King, do You have not any worry that had Your clothes been burnt then would You have moved just in this way?" Then He replied, "What is myth is going to be perished. There is no need to save it, till it is there keep it there or if it is not there then leave it."
This is a true fact. Those gurus who do not consider myth as myth, then what are you going to find in them?" 1973-1209 Public Program (Hindi), Day 3, Śhrī Dattātreya Jayanti, Biralā Krīṛā Keṃdra, Chowpatty, Girgaum Chowpatty, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
"Many people have said this many times and if you look at all the great men of religion (dharm puruṣho), no one of Them took to saṃnyās. Except for the Nāth Pānthis. And even they had a difficult path.
You know that Janak was a king and He lived like a king but people call Him Videhi [Videha, incorporeal]. That is why Jānakī is called Vaidehī.
You know that Nāṇak was married and Kṛiṣhṇa also married. Rāma also married. And like you, They were family loving people of the world. None of Them took saṃnyās, etc.
Neither did these people gave importance to [Haṭha] Yoga. Only Patañjali gave special importance to [Haṭha] Yoga.
But no one reads Patañjali also. They accept any fifth or sixthhand information coming about [Haṭha] Yoga. And considering it important, and they start doing Yoga what is called as Haṭha Yoga.
Haṭha Yoga is very harmful for normal people who live in a family.
Now why does this happen? How does it happen? This I am going to explain to you. You stay open-minded. If you are open-minded, you will understand My talk just now. Whatever powers human beings have got, they are limited."

"Now the ... these three aspects, the essence of these aspects, or we can say the innocence of these three aspects, is combined in the Primord[i]al Guru, or the Ādi Guru Dattātreya, who resides in the Bhavasāgara and helps Śhrī Viṣhṇu for your evolution.
Now He has taken many Incarnations, mainly Ten Incarnations. And these are very important, and we have to understand Them in Their full entirety.
If you accept Him as Dattātreya, you have to also accept Him as Rāja Janaka.
It's easy for a Hindu mind to accept Rāja Janaka, but they cannot accept Muhammad Sāhab, who was same as Rāja Janaka. It is a fact which can ... we can prove it on your Kuṇḍalinī."
1976-0205 Public Program (Vasant Pañchamī), Day 2, Description of Kuṇḍalinī, after Śhrī Viṣhnu Havan, New Delhi, India
"Another thing is, here in Bhavasāgar, all Three, Brahmā, Viṣhṇu, Maheśhwar, combined to make a child, who is called Ādi Guru, is known as Dattātreya. There were many Incarnations of Him. And His Child Tattwa also took Incarnations. First was Dattātreya, then came Rāja Janak. Like this, many Incarnations came, Rāja Janak, Nāṇak, Zarathustra, Muhammad Sāhab, Sāī Nāth of Śhirḍī.
They are all one. Are They or not? You can witness it after Self-realization. If you believe in one Guru, like Nāṇak, then you have no right not to accept Muhammad Sāhab. If you get Muhammad Sāhab and not Nāṇak, then you have no authority as well.
You will be surprised, most of the cancer disease comes from the imbalance of Bhavasāgar, you follow one but not the other. Cancer also comes when we don't follow Them.
Like He forbade two things, like not to smoke a cigarette and not to consume alcohol.
Alcohol is entirely not allowed. Here, in Sahaja Yoga, if someone is habituated to drink alcohol, they will leave it. If they don't leave alcohol, it will [not] be in moderation because both of these things go against Guru Tattwa.
If Guru Tattwa is not established within us, we cannot have our evolution. Guru Tattwa is essential. Guru Tattwa is one destiny for all religions. There is one flow from all the religions."

"Like Christ has said that, "One should not take the help of ghosts and phantoms." Muhammad Sāhab has said, "Don't take alcoholic drinks," etc. Rāja Janaka has said that, "You should treat all humans with the same attitude in the presence of Parameśhwar." Nāṇak has said, "The Parameśhwar dwells in all human beings in this world." He also prohibited all narcotics. But what are His ardent followers and close supporters doing? What are Christ's supporters doing?"

"Now, this Guru was created when the world was created itself. Because we ... one had to create a Guru before the world was created in then Vaikuṇṭha Stage only.
But then He reincarnated many a times.
At the time of Rāma, very early, even before Rāma came into this world, much earlier than that, He was created by Satī Anusūyā. She was Herself a part of the Ādi Śhakti, who created Him out of the essences, the innocence of Brahmā, Viṣhṇu and Maheśh.
There's a legend about it which I will tell you sometime.
And She created Him. Actually, She created Him, so She's the Mother.
But then, She becomes the Guru.
When She is born as Sītā, He becomes the father. So, She ... father is Her Guru.
Then, when Rāja Janaka is born as Muhammad Sāhab, then She becomes again the daughter.
But when He is born as Nāṇaka, then He becomes the ... She becomes His sister.
So the relationship exists and whenever He is born, She is born, in a way, that, you see, that relationship is kept a sublime relationship. I mean to say: that they are never born as husband and wife."

"I have told you about Nābhī chakra and also about Void. The Guru Principle resides in this Bhavasāgara [Void] and this Guru Principle establishes the dharma within us. These ten petals here that we have shown are the ones which establishes the Ten Dharmas within us.
It is important to have these Ten Dharmas in a human being otherwise he is not a human being. Even if he has has nine dharmas in him is still [unclear] a bit and if he does not follow these dharmas that are within him, and when I say dharma I don't mean by Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and all that, but dharma means the Innate Dharma of humanity within, if one does not keep to those Ten Dharmas, then he turns into a demon [devil].
This Guru Principle (Tattwa) has taken birth in this world in many forms especially it has these Ten Main Incarnations have taken birth like Rāja Janaka, Nāṇak, Muhammad Sāhab, etc. and at the end it was Sāī Nāth from Śhirḍī, who took birth. They tie this Tattwa [Principle] within us because all these Gurus who have taken birth for our evolution are placed within us.
[unclear] these Gurus are very subtly placed Deities within us.
Like for these Guru already say, "Don't consume alcohol," then They weren't mad that They said this. Neither They were standing in any elections to win votes that They said that. You can't even say that They had any kind of business that in some competitive feeling He said that thing.
They said, "Child, don't drink alcohol, don't take to cigarettes, don't take any kind of drugs," because the position of our attention within is also placed in the area of Void.
You will be surprised to know that our attention is in our stomach. Actually, to be specific, in liver resides our attention.
They said, "You don't drink alcohol," so your attention does not get spoiled. You know by drinking human awareness gets damaged.
People got the other way by saying, 'OK, if drinking is not allowed then let's not garlic, onions, etc.' Prophet Muhammad used to eat garlic, onions and also Nāṇaka used to eat meat and all that.
......
Now in this Void we have two great entities as well which we know as Chandra [Moon] and Sūrya [Sun]. Moon and Sun are such chakras which reside on these nāḍīs here and here [likely pointing towards the Chakra Chart]. On these chakras there are two very great personalities who have been appointed. They are complete embodiment of human beings. They are like humans, in fact are humans. Out of these one is Buddha and one is Mahāvīra.
But if you listen to the whole history of Their lives, then these are two sons which Śhrī Sītā had as Lav and Kuśha who is completely in human form. And after They evolved to the level that They are here as Buddha and Mahāvīra. There also they thought They have reached an extreme of nonviolence because the supports of nonviolence came in and started protecting even mosquitoes and bugs.
Then They again took birth and came at the time of Muhammad. Muhammad was an Incarnation of Śhrī Janaka and His daughter Fāṭimah Bi was also Incarnation of Śhrī Sītā.
Then, as Their sons as Hasan and Husayn, They gave their life in Karbalāʾ to prove that no kind of extreme is good."

"Therefore those who have liver, etc. takalīph [problem, difficulty] or have the problem of diabetes because of this chakra, what I told you, due to imbalance, those who are rajoguṇīs [right-sided] people, that problems those [people] get, the treatment of all those problems is taking the name of Hazarat ʿAlī Sāhab. [Variant: Therefore, people who have problems with the liver or are suffering from diabetes because of imbalance, the people who are right-sided and have problems, all such problems can be cured by taking the name of Hazarat ʿAlī Sāhab.]
The problems get removed by this only. It's a matter of great surprise, but it's true [correct, right].
[If] Muslims will accept this then you will not and [if] you māniyegā [will agree (with), accept, honor] Kṛiṣhṇa, then Muslims will not accept. [We] have to be realized (pār) in the world. Though these all reside only in one body, in Virāṭ. [Variant: If Muslims accept this, you will not and if you accept Kṛiṣhṇa they will not. We need to ascend in this world. Although all such people are residing inside the body of Virāṭ.]
They are all connected. Because Hazarat ʿAlī was the son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Muhammad was the Incarnation of King Janaka. His sons Hasan and Husayn, who were killed in the battle of Karbalā, were no one else but Sītājī's sons Lav and Kuśh, who were later incarnated as Mahāvīr and Buddha."

These Ten Commandments we have to look after, and these are looked after by the people who are these, the Primordial Masters, as you call Them Incarnations Divinely: like Rāja Janaka, like Moses, like Socrates, like Nāṇaka, the last one was the Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth.

"So, of the Ten Avatāras described here, seven Avatāras are within the abdomen. At least seven Avatāras.
The eighth Avatāra is said to be Rāma.
What are Avatārs? They are our leaders.
The Ten Gurus within the abdomen, the Main Gurus, such as Zarathustra and others I mentioned to you, Nanak, Janak, they are the Incarnations of Dattātreya, who is the Primordial Master, They reside within the abdomen. They guide our religion."

"It is surprising that there is a gentleman in Rangoon who is an Avadhūta. Not only in India, but they can be found all around the world. Prophet Muhammad was an Avadhūta. King Janaka was an Avadhūta, so was Nāṇak.
Many of them [Avadhūtas] did a lot of work in this Maharashtra. It is only because of their work here did I take My birth in this place.
Sāī Nāth was the last of them from Maharashtra.
Their work establishes the dharma. Or more like the dharma settles down in that place. They take their form on this earth only to fulfill that goal.
When the human loses his faith in dharma, 'Why should I do this?', when he starts thinking this ways, then the Avadhūtas take birth on this Earth. And wherever they may be, in forests or mountains, dead or alive, all they do is keep working on giving you the validations of dharma.
If you tell lies and start suffering from its consequences, then realize that there is some Avadhūta, sitting on some mountain in the Himalayas, who is responsible for whatever is happening to you. He is the one putting you all right.
......
The dharma in humans has at least ten aspects of discipline to it that should be followed, and all Gurus have emphasized that this needs to happen. They could be in the form of Muhammad, Nāṇak or Janak.
......
But the concepts of dharma, as this world knows it today, are so complicated and twisted, "I don't drink, I don't even consume garlic." "Is it so? OK, you don't drink, you don't eat garlic, onions, etc., you don't do anything, granted. Then why is your Void catching?" Void meaning where Dattā [Śhrī Dattātreya] resides, in the stomach. "But I am a huge opponent of Muslims." That's it: you have lost your quality of Avadhūta. The Avadhūtas have been offended.
These entities, say Muhammad, or Janaka, or Sāī Nāth, do you think any of these belong to any religion, caste or creed?
Say, we keep a Photograph of Sāī Nāth in our home, who was He? Wasn't He a Muslim? Be truthful.
So if someone becomes a Muslim, he turns bad, how did you form this conclusion? Who was Kabīr Dās? Who was Nāṇak?"

Version 1:
"Now, living by the dharma doesn't mean making rounds of the temple and reciting the name of God a thousand.
The meaning of dharma has been told by a number of Saints in this country. In this Land of Saints, a number of Gurus have come and have spoken to great lengths about what dharma is, we can't thank Them enough. But we don't follow any of what They have said.
Out of all the Gurus, there have been Ten Important Ones and They have come in this world multiple times. The Prophet Muhammad is an incarnation of Dattātreya. After Muhammad Sāhib, Nāṇak who came on this Earth was an incarnation of Dattātreya too, so was Janak. Likewise Ādināth, who came before Māhavīr, was also an incarnation of Dattātreya. Furthermore, the people of this Ahmednagar are extremely fortunate in the sense that Śhirḍī [84 kms NNW from Ahmadnagar] was the place where Śhrī Sāī Nāth chose to come and stay. He too was an incarnation of Dattātreya. So, it is the same element of the Guru, which keeps reincarnating on this Earth.
They focused on teaching about things pertaining to maintaining the balance of the dharma, They didn't talk much about Self-realization as such, didn't work upon giving knowledge about the Ātmā to people.
The one thing that all of Them had said was to not consume alcohol."
Version 2:
"To live with dharma does not mean parroting the name of God in the temples.
The meaning of being religious has been explained by a number of Saints in this country. In this land of Saints, a number of Gurus have come and have spoken to great lengths about what dharma is, we can't thank Them enough. But we don't follow any of what They have said.
Out of all the gurus, there have been Ten Important Ones and They have come in this world multiple times. Of these the Prophet Muhammad is an Incarnation of Dattātreya. After Muhammad Sāhib, Nāṇak who came on this earth was an Incarnation of Dattātreya too, so was Janak. Likewise Ādināth [Ṛiṣhabhadeva, first Tīrthaṅkara in Jainism], who came before Mahāvīr, was also an Incarnation of Dattātreya. After this we were really lucky, specially people from Ahmadnagar, that Sāī Nāth who stayed in Śhirḍī [84 kms NNW from Ahmadnagar], He too is an Incarnation of Dattātreya. So, it is the same element of the Guru, which reappears on this Earth.
And They taught several things regarding the balance of dharma. They didn't talk much about giving Realization as such. They did not work too much on giving knowledge on Self-enlightenment to people.
The one thing He said, that all of [Ten of] Them corroborate on, was not to consume alcohol."

"After that there is Nābhī center. For Nābhī center you know that whatever has happened in the evolution from fish to human being, everything has happened here.
For helping in it many Big Gurus have Incarnated inside us, whom you know from Socrates to Confucius, Moses, Rāja Janak, Muhammad Sāhab, Nāṇak Sāhab, Kabīr, all these Big Gurus, all of Them have worked hard on it and made dharma of human beings. It is the dharma of human beings inside, in the stomach, not outside.
Like dharma of this gold is that it does not get spoiled, it is untarnishable.
In the same way Ten Dharma[s] of human beings are formed inside the stomach."

"So, if you think evolution is a religion, then I would say Sahaja Yoga is the religion. If your evolution if you call it as a religion, then Sahaja Yoga is a religion. But is a religion which takes you belo ... beyond your sustenance, beyond your religion, dharmātīt, beyond the dharma.
We have amongst ourselves Hindu[s], Muslims, Christians, all kinds of people, you know that. All these people can feel it within themselves: is the religion in their stomachs, they can feel it. They can find out where is the religion. Because, I say, there, religion in the stomach is looked after by the Deities of Primordial Master whom we call as Dattātreya, in the Sanskrit language.
But does't mean Hinduism. It doesn't mean Hinduism at all. But it is called as Dattātreya in the Sanskrit language, in English is Primordial Master.
He is the same who incarnated on this earth: as Moses, as Abraham, and, say, incarnated as Muhammad Sāhab, as Rāja Janaka, as Nāṇaka, and also as Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth. Can you believe that Muhammad Sāhab is the same as our Nāṇak?"

"But still, as you can see in the life of Christ, that coming of Christ was declared much before Christ came in by the Prophets who made prophecies. All these Prophets belong to the category of the Gurus I am talking about.
So, all over the world three types of movements were on. For example, the scientist[s] on the right-hand side, we can say, and the left-hand side are the devotees of God who sing the praise of God. And in the center there were people like Moses, like Abraham, who came on this earth just to prophesize, just to protect the devotees of God.
Now this middle movement of evolution, today, has reached its peak. Because all the Incarnations have arrived now, and have done Their job within you. They have occupied Their position within you, in your awareness, on these different centers.

So today we are here to know that within us all these Incarnations exist, and the force that really brought forth, really manifested, who live like human beings and work like Gurus, that force which existed in this area, which created religion within us.
Religion, as we understand, organized religion, is not the religion. But the religion means: your sustaining power. You are a human being because there are ten sustaining powers within you.
So, They came to sustain us and to give us full idea about these Ten Powers and to establish us in our religion as a human being.
So these Gurus, who lived in that area, worked out the sustainace [sustenance] and helped us.
And this is one of the greatest forces we have got, which resides within us.
And whatever They have said has a very great meaning.
Actually, we should say the Main Gurus are ten, but there are many other Gurus.
And these Ten Gurus could be described as Rāja Janaka, then Moses, Abraham, and the in modern times you can say Muhammad Sāhab, and even up to Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth, in Śhirḍī, that force came in, for a short time, and then He disappeared. Nobody knows how He came there, He lived there and He died. Also, if you know Nāṇaka, He was also the same force, the same Primordial Master, who was born on this Earth.
Now, this is not the time to tell about individual people. But, I think, one day I will talk to you only on this subject of the Gurus.
So, these Gurus first started under the Primordial Master Himself, He was called as Dattātreya."

"Have you read the story of Sītā's father, Janaka? He was called as Videhi ... Videhi [Videha, incorporeal]. He was the only one, in the whole history, is called Videhi. Videhi means 'a detached person from his uh-uh-uh be-ing'. Like that, he is, doesn't care for, as you can say a Real Yogi: Videhi. The deha is the body. He has gone beyond the body. And He was the one who had children, who had wife, who had ee ... His kingdom, and who was a great uh-uh-uh, what you can call, a great connoisseur of heart.
And when Nachiketa went to Him, uh-uh-uh because he was with a guru, and whenever this King came to him, the guru would get up, touch His Feet and make Him sit on his seat. So Nachiketa asked his guru, "Sir, why do you touch His Feet? He is a householder. Why should you touch His Feet? Why should we all get up? Because He is the father-in-law of Rāma, that's why you do it, is it?"
He said, "No. Not because of that, because He is Videhi. He is the One only who can give Realization. Even Yoga Vāsiṣhṭha could not give Realization. He is the only One who is authorized to give Realization. We cannot give Realization."
So Nachiketa went to Him, and asked Him, "Sir, can You [gap] known my Self."
He said, "Why do you want to know? It's rather difficult." All those things He showed and tried to see if he is really willing.
If you, for a non-willing person is very difficult.
So, He took his test and all that and uh He said that, "All right, I'll see about it."
Then He asked him to sleep in a room uh-uh-uh where uh he saw that it was very lavishly decorated and all gold everything, and he was wondering: "What sort of a Yogi is this? Surrounded by gold and everything, He is sitting down here. And He is supposed to be the Greatest Yogi of the ages. How is He called a Videhi?"
Because He was a king, that was His life, and that's what He was like that. He was not taking money from anybody else's, OPM, other people's money. He was not a parasite. It was His own kingdom where He was living!
So he looked and he was surprised.
So next day, uh Rāja Janaka told him, that, "All right, uh-uh-uh-uh now, first of all, let us go and have bath in the river." So they went to the river, both of them were having a bath. While having the bath, uh-uh-uh a message came, to the King, that, "Your palace is on fire." So He said, "All right. Just now I'm meditating." He didn't say a word. And, "Don't disturb Me." Still He was meditating. Then the message came that, "Your people have all come out of the palace and they are going away." Then the message came that, "The fire is coming this side, and Your cloths and all those might get ... caught fire." Still He was meditating. But this fellow who was in [laughing:] the ... supposed to be the Yogi, the one who had gone to learn detachment, ran outside for his cloths, you see. He couldn't leave here even very few cloths but he ran outside [gap]
[Nachiketa] "... about these things which are so important like a palace and Your family and all of them were running up." He said, "I was in tune with God. That is the Truth. The rest is all falsehood, is all māyā, is all illusion. And why worry about the illusions?"
And He too had only one disciple only He gave Realization, is Nachiketa.
This is the trouble. If they could give Realization en masse, they may come down, but They cannot. And once person born on the tenth floor, the rest on the ground floor, cannot make them understand. They cannot understand him."

"Apart from that, there is [a] third type of Incarnations which worked [pointing to the Void on the Chakra Chart:] in this gap: to sustain us. These are Ten Pri... Primordial Masters, the Ādi Guru. These people incarnated on this Earth to give us our sustainance [sustenance], our religion as they call it. They gave us those Ten Religions or sustainance [sustenance] which is important for a human being.
This Principle of Primordial Master incarnated as Abraham, as Moses, as Muhammad Sāhab, as Janaka, as Nāṇaka, and recently, till recently, the One who is no more a now, is Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth.
[During the translation helps with the enumeration:] Muh... mhh. Socrates. Nāṇaka.
Yes.
Now, these people are Incarnation[s] of the one Principle, that is Primordial Master.
The energy or the power with which They work[ed] is either a sister or a daughter: is a very pure relationships.

"For example, we can say the gree... green thing is the one that represents the water, water element. This center the ... in the stomach is the water element within us. It is called as Nābhī chakra, and around it is called as the Bhavasāgara, you can say the Void, or you can say the Gap, or whatever you may say, the whole world as such, within us. So, the people who were born on this center, around this center, were born out of water element.
In this Bhavasāgara – oc... Bhavasāgara means the ocean of this world – were born, through this ocean of the world, were born all the Primordial Masters, one after another. We can say Abraham, Moses, we had Janaka, were Ādināth [Ṛiṣhabhadeva, first Tīrthaṅkara in Jainism], and Socrates, and so many others like that, Nāṇaka, and also very recently, we had about hundred years back, a very great Saint born in India known as Sāī Nāth.
They all represent the same element that is the water element. Being responsible or being born out of that, They are anxious to maintain water element as the one which is within us for sustaining ourselves. We su... we are sustained by water, so They help us to sustain ourselves. They are the sustainers: They tell us how to sustain us as a human being.
And all of Them have tried to establish religion within us.
A religion doesn't mean outside, but the religion as a man: means the capacity of a man, or you can say the quality of a man. What a human being should be like, what is the way to know if he is a human being or not, which is described in al... in the Ten Commandments."

"To normalize you, all these Great Saints were born on this Earth, in this Void of the Big Primordial Being. And they exist within us, though they are not awakened as yet.
We have had mainly Ten of Them. In India, we can call Them, from a very long time, as Ādināth, who was thousands of year[s] back. I have told you Socrates, Moses, Abraham, then Rāja Janaka. Then we had, later on, Muhammad Sāhab, then Nāṇaka. Then the last, one of Them, was Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth. He was another Primordial Master, a great man.
They are the Incarnations of the One Personality! They said the same thing and same thing and same thing: how to sustain yourself. Their job was not to give you Realization, but to sustain you: to make you capable of your Realization, to make you a proper recipient of God's blessings as realized Souls.
If the pot is not all right, if it has all the holes in it, what's the use of pouring Ganges into it?
So They clogged all the points, and said that, "This should not be done."
But as we have made mess of everything, we have made mess of Them also. All of us! Whether you are English, Indians or this thing doesn't matter. Whether you are Christians, Muslims or a Sikh or anything doesn't matter. All of us have made a mess of Them by just disobeying. We have really disobeyed Them, because we have a freedom to disobey.

"Now, all the Gurus, all the Gurus who came, say from ... we can start from Socrates, then Abraham, Moses, this is the Guru Tattwa, is the Principle of Master, Primordial Masters. The Principle is born again and again. In India we can say the Ādināth [Ṛiṣhabhadeva, first Tīrthaṅkara in Jainism], we had one Ādināth, the Guru long time back. Then we had Dattātreya, we had uh Janaka, Nāṇaka, Sāī Nāth.
We had in the Middle East Muhammad Sāhab, Lao Tze in China, Confucius.
All these Great Principles of Gurus who were born, They had one job to do is to establish your dharma. Their job was not to give you Realization.
You must understand: everyone has one's own job.
See, Mine is a horrible job [laughing:] because I have to do everybody's jobs.
But Their job was just to establish your dharma. They came at that time in those places where it was needed the most.
So, these Ten Principles, as I told you, They established [dharma].
They are created in the Void.
As you see here the Void part, this part is made out of the water element. So, whatever miracles They did, had something to do with water, like They could create water anywhere They wanted to. They would not cure people. All of Them have created water in the desert or in the places where ... like in ... Nāṇaka has created a Pan̄jā Sāhab they call it, or everywhere They have been able to create water. Whatever They touched, They could create water out of it.
Water is the life, life force which sustains us. Without water we cannot live! The is the sustainance [sustenance].
But, They actually are symbolized in an ocean, in the ocean, because They give us the salt, the salt of life, which gives us the sustainance [sustenance]. If you see the salt, if we do not have salt in our body, we'll have no sustainance [sustenance]."

Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth: the one who lived in Śhirḍī. He is the last Incarnation who came. After Muhammad, Nāṇaka came, after Nāṇaka Śhirḍī Sāī Nāth.
All these are the one and the only ... only one Principle of Primordial Master who came, and They all said the same thing.
First of all, They were against alcohols, against any kind of a[n] intoxication.
But say, at the time of Moses they didn't have cigarettes, you see, so He didn't say about cigarettes, naturally. They didn't have. So the people who follow Moses think, 'There's nothing wrong with cigarettes because He didn't say.' But that time there were no cigarettes, you see?

Moses was there on this Earth to cross only this path. It's very symbolic the way He crossed the sea: to show how to cross this path.
He was the Incarnation, one of the Incarnations, of the Primordial Master.
There were Ten Great Incarnations of Primordial Masters. One of them was Moses, Abraham, Lao Tze, Janaka, Nāṇaka. There are ten of Them who were major Incarnations of the same principle. Muhammad.
They are all related to each other. You will be surprised what relation exists between Them. There's no fight, which you learn in your Kuṇḍalinī. They are so integrated and such a concord exists between Them. There's no fight at all.

"Now whatever Arneau has told you, or whatever I am going to tell you, is the knowledge of the roots, which was kept secret for thousands of years. And first time in the sixth century people started talking openly about it and telling: what are we inside ourselves.
But all the Great Incarnations who came in this tradition of spirituality, one by one manifested, every time, a new awareness in the human dimension.
In the ancient time when they followed Patañjali Yoga, that time, they were hardly one or two people whom Realization was given. Like Rāja Janaka gave Realization to one person, who was the father-in-law of Śhrī Rām.
Then came Moses, Abraham, all these Great Prophets who tried to establish wit... within us the Divine Laws. They told us what are these Divine Laws within us which act, what are our valances as any element has. Invariably, all of Them, from Socrates onward, They all said that there are ten valances within us, like Ten Commandments, which we have to keep them intact.
Out of these people, the Prophets, came oh most of the religions of early times. Like Judaism and other, Zoroastrism, Lao Tze, all these people were saying the same and same thing, that, 'We must have a balance within ourselves to establish the Divine Laws within ourselves.'
But when Moses saw that the people were so much anti-God and so much anti-Divinity, He put forward a very strong type of a law which we call as śharīat. These laws were made for Jews, but actually they are followed by Muslim people."

But for that happening, human being had to be prepared. People had to be balanced.
And that is how many Prophets came on this Earth, after that, in the same tradition, to prepare people to have that balance. Right from Abraham, Moses, we see Them, follow Them up up ... up to Rāja Janaka, who was the father-in-law of Rāma, and later on we had so many others like Muhammad Sāhab, Nāṇak Sāhab, on this Earth, to tell us about having a balance in live.

Rāja Janaka, another Incarnation of Dattātreya, was one such Rāja Yogi. In their inner life they were Yogis, but externally they led a royal existence, yet without attachment. They did not practice āsanas or Prāṇāyāmas, but they worshiped God through different styles of bowing. The Prophet Muhammad was the Incarnation of the same Primordial Master. He was married four times, but in His inner life He was completely detached. Śhrī Rāma's Incarnation also took place on the same channel and enlightened the path of Divine Kingship."

"In this Void is placed the Primordial Master (Ādi Guru) formed from Brahmā, Viṣhṇu and Maheśha (Śhiva). This Primordial Master is also known as Dattātreya. He has taken many human births as a Prophet and teacher, such as Rāja Janaka, Ādināth [Ṛiṣhabhadeva, first Tīrthaṅkara in Jainism], Macchindranāth, Zoroaster, Guru Nāṇaka, and Sāī Nāth of Śhirḍī. This Deity helps human beings to seek their salvation by crossing the Void or Ocean of Illusion within themselves."
