cumstance or the other. <strong>The</strong> spiritual heart located on the right side of<br />

the human body is always right. It is immortal, eternal <strong>and</strong> all encompassing.<br />

It is present not only in human beings, but also in birds,<br />

beasts <strong>and</strong> all other living beings. <strong>The</strong> Vedas declare: "God is present<br />

in all the beings”, "God pervades he entire cosmos.” It is love that originates<br />

out of this spiritual heart. <strong>The</strong> three principles of reaction, resound<br />

<strong>and</strong> reflection have originated from the spiritual heart. Unable<br />

to recognise his true identity, man is wasting his life in the pursuit of<br />

temporary, fleeting, transient <strong>and</strong> ephemeral pleasures. As I told you<br />

yesterday gold loses its value, effulgence <strong>and</strong> identity when it is mixed<br />

with different metals such as silver, copper, brass. So also heart, which<br />

can be compared to gold loses its value, brilliance <strong>and</strong> identity on account<br />

of its association with the metals of worldly desires. This is the<br />

present plight of the world. Man is behaving like a demon, devil <strong>and</strong> a<br />

beast because he has forgotten his Divine nature. Divine love originates<br />

from the spiritual heart. This Divine love lives by giving <strong>and</strong> forgiving,<br />

whereas selfish love lives by getting <strong>and</strong> forgetting. Such Divine<br />

love is essential for man. (...)<br />

Underst<strong>and</strong> the true meaning <strong>and</strong> inner significance of Shivaratri;<br />

showing the Hiranyagarbha linga to the devotees. This is present in<br />

everybody's spiritual heart. (...) <strong>The</strong> principle of Hiranyagarbha is<br />

spread all over the body. It assumes a form when I will it. Whoever has<br />

seen this linga at the time of its emergence will not have rebirth. One<br />

should see its form as it emerges. In order to sanctify your lives, such<br />

sacred Manifestations have to be shown to you every now <strong>and</strong> then.<br />

Only then can you underst<strong>and</strong> the Divinity in humanity. This linga will<br />

not break even if it is dropped from a height with force. This is immortality.<br />

It is changeless. You cannot see such a manifestation anywhere<br />

else in the world. It is possible only with Divinity.<br />

For the past 20 years devotees did not have the privilege of witnessing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reason was lakhs of devotees used to gather in the Poornach<strong>and</strong>ra<br />

hall to witness this gr<strong>and</strong> spectacle. As Poornach<strong>and</strong>ra hall cannot<br />

accommodate large gatherings there used to be stampedes. As a<br />

result devotees were put to lot of inconvenience. In order to avoid this,<br />

lingodbhava was discontinued. Not only this, three types of lingas<br />

emerge. <strong>The</strong>y are Bhur, Bhuvah <strong>and</strong> Svaha. Bhur refers to materialization<br />

(body), Bhuva refers to vibration (prana) <strong>and</strong> Svaha refers to radiation<br />

(Atman). I often say, you are not one, but three. "<strong>The</strong> one you<br />

think you are (physical body), the one others think you are (mental<br />

body), the one you really are (Atman)." On every Shivaratri all the three<br />

lingas would emerge. Just now the other lingas started to emerge, but<br />
