My love to all of you.
I am talking to all of you when I have heard that many people are shocked
and concerned about this cyclone in Orissa,
which has affected the coastal parts of Orissa and Bengal
and especially the cyclone had its landfall in Puri
and it has affected Sri Gurudev´s Ashram,
Hariharananda Gurukulam, Balighai, where Sri Gurudev is resting.
And to me also when I saw the pictures and videos
it is a big external damage and
people there and others living there including the wild animals and the cattle population
have no doubt being affected a lot.
So, still, at the time of difficulties, time of problems,
the residents, local devotees and love of all of you is there.
And it is a challenge to rebuild with a new vision.
Nature undergoes change, the cycle of creation and destruction, and we have to accept it.
And especially in the modern times when human beings exploit nature to a great extend,
without thinking of its consequences, repercussion, its effect.
Naturally nature takes its own way in many different forms.
Hurricanes, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunami, unusual rainfall or no rainfall and so on.
And also the present global warming.
It is a message for each one of us to be positive, to be practical, to be careful,
so that we should be protecting nature, not destructing.
We should be more creative in preserving the environment
and this Ashram of Gurudev which is our spiritual headquarter and Gurudev´s home and we all have
the place of our true inner pilgrimage there.
So with love, with our dynamism we will again rebuild, rebuild with courage and confidence.
It will take little time no doubt.
So that which can be done with machines, or man skill, it will be done quicker but to
bring the nature, natural beauty, forest, garden again back into its full beauty,
it will take little time.
So, people are praying, thank you for your love and support, and people are working there.
I am also praying for those who have suffered a lot because of the cyclone.
And we are reflecting how we can help them in course of time.
God bless you all.
Again, every natural disaster has a big message for the entire humankind.
We should love nature, we should preserve and protect nature.
We should, at the same time, take care of our inner nature:
restlessness, anger, emotions, which is the inner cyclone.
My love to all of you. God bless you all.
Thank you all.
