Birinchi Maharaj-ji!

Where are you coming from?

We're returning from Banaras.

Oh Kashi:

I haven't been there in a long time.

Your work was in Kashi.

It's too crowded.

How true, but still

I said at the very outset

you created a grand city, but will it remain as it is?

So many storms will blow over it; so many will come and go.

One day, Sankar came to me and said

"Even if you don't follow the philosophy of One God,

"don't you agree that Gautam caused a lot of destruction?"

"Don't you think some action should be taken about that?"

I said, "If you want to, then take action."

"If that's what will give you peace of mind, then do it"

"but remember one thing:"

"Someday someone will mess up your work as well."

"Someone will play football with your religion. Understand that well."

That lad had something in him

but he couldn't master the science of life.

That's why, at the age of 32

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

I can't have a moment of peace.

I have to wake this lad every day from his sleep.

- Baba - What happened?

My mind is at unrest, Baba.

What's your name?

My name's Gurupada Mitter, advocate.

Come here, child.

Touch his feet.

Sit.

This is my younger daughter, Baba.

Her name is Buchki... I mean, Neelima.

Her mother died last year.

Since then, Baba, there's been no peace.

I've visited Kashi and Vrindavan

but still I can't find the strength to go on.

- You can't find the strength? - No, Baba.

It's as if there's no pillar left for support.

Hold this.

Hold it.

Hold it tight.

What about that? Is there any unrest left?

Is there? Is there any sadness left?

Do you feel the spirit? Is there any emptiness left, any restriction left?

It's fate.

My God.

What happened?

Nitai Da?

If only I could find a good babaji

I'd leave everything and go with him.

Why?

You've lost interest in the world?

- The mind is at unrest, brother. - Check.

Life has sped by.

At home the wife keeps complaining.

At the office there's a new boss.

He's also... It's all rubbish.

Nothing feels good.

- If you know of any man like that, let me know. - There's no babaji in your fate, Nitai Da.

Your constant chatter has made me lose my knight.

You know, in spiritual matters, talking less is a primary condition.

This young man is an insurance agent

and to top it off, he can do hatha yoga.

So, why can't I find myself a babaji ?

My case is intellectual. You won't understand that.

It can only be understood by Paramadha Chatterjee.

Are you in the habit of chewing green chillies?

Oh Nitai Da

Yes?

A sage has come to Jagannath Ghat. Have you heard?

He's called Mirchai Baba.

People visiting him are being offered enchanted green chillies

and after eating them, all their illness is cured.

Will a radio Baba work? Swami Taritananda.

This Baba has two tives:

one negative, one positive.

He draws electricity from the sky and sparks it to people.

Really?

You go to him and you'll be cured of all disease:

Electrotherapy!

My disease is just one thing: lack of money.

Let him find a nice source of income for me and I'll accept that he's great.

He can do that too.

- He can? - Yes.

He'll take you to a place for a day, before the war in 1914.

Then?

You'll buy some iron.

Iron?

Yes, cheaply.

Then?

Then?

After that, you

Check.

What?

After 1914 what happens?

Mate in two moves, brother.

Say what happens after 1914?

After 1914, he brings you back to 1965.

- With the iron? - Yes, of course.

And then you sell the iron at the current rate.

The current rate?

The current rate.

Nibaran Da

- What? - Disaster!

Sit down.

300, 400, 500, 600, 700 rupees.

Speak thee not.

I've done it, brother. I've done it.

Narendrapur, five acres of land, three houses.

Now all I need do is find the babaji .

- Babaji again? - Chess is an intellectual game.

This kind of commotion doesn't go with it.

He's destroyed everything.

Buchki's having an induction.

- What? - Buchki's having a religious induction.

Some babaji has given her father an induction into the priesthood and now the daughter will get it too.

- Did you go to their place? - Yes. That's where I'm coming from.

So is this good news or bad?

Is getting an induction into the priesthood good news?

Why not? I'd get it too if I could find a good sage.

- Oh God. But I was going to propose to her. - So you propose

No, Nitai Da, you don't know the background to this story

and so you don't understand the reason for Satya's anxiety.

You need a little introduction.

This Buchki is Alipore, lawyer Gurupada Mitter's younger daughter.

Mr Mitter's wife, Soudamini, was Takdar Shashi Ghosh's daughter.

- Is that so? - Yes. She died a year or two ago.

I see.

I know them through my childhood friend from Bagbazar

the famous Professor Nuni.

Nuni's wife is Mr Mitter's eldest daughter, Nirupama.

Fine.

It was in Nirupama's house that Master Satya first met Lady Buchki.

It was love at first sight

and since then, he's been contemplating marriage.

Oh I see.

- Clear? - Clear.

So the point is, Master Satya has fallen in love with Lady Buchki

but Lady Buchki wants to receive religious induction.

Hence the matter's very serious.

Exactly.

Satya, carry on.

Fatik, get some tea.

They returned from Kashi yesterday.

I would have visited them yesterday straight away

but at the laundry, my damned pants weren't ready

so I had to wait a day.

So then, today at around 8:00 in the morning, I went to their place.

When I got there, I noticed that the place seemed strange.

The guards were all huddled together and talking.

The usual Radio Ceylon wasn't playing.

Everything seemed different.

Anyway, I entered the house and was going up the stairs

when someone called me from behind.

I turned and who did I see? Ganesh Mama.

Wait a minute. Who's Ganesh Mama?

Ganesh Mama's Mr Mitter's brother-in-law

Lady Buchki's uncle. Clear?

Clear. And then...

Buchki wasn't there?

She was, but there are things going on upstairs.

Buchki's father's receiving an induction into the priesthood.

The priesthood?

Why should the word "priesthood" make you grin like that?

Do you know, his guru is a great and learned man?

He's been around since the time the town of Kashi was constructed.

- Which Kashi? - Kashi Banaras, not Kashi Khukhu.

Oh God. Is he into some sort of black magic?

No, he's not but he's a real capitalist.

You're a hard-core communist. Now move along.

A communist?

Yes. I've heard you go out on the roads on protest marches.

Oh that!

You'd better leave today. Come and meet them some other day.

Your son-in-law's well, I hope?

Does he have a job? He was looking for one, wasn't he?

OK then.

- Hey. Listen. - You called me from behind?

Do you know of some job or what?

I do know of something but surely he must be trying elsewhere.

No, no. Nowadays nothing can happen without a little backing.

But Uncle, if it's all about backing, what about his self-respect?

You don't understand, Satyaranjan. Today and in this age, it's different, don't you know.

You just go up and see everyone briefly. Then come and give me the details.

- Yes. Then I'll go quickly - Yes, quickly.

You wait. I'll be just five minutes or so.

Hey, Buchki.

- Are you calling me? - What's the matter?

What is this induction and all about? Your house has completely changed.

- I'm having an induction too. - Buchki

- didn't you get my letter? - What letter?

- I wrote to you in Banaras. - Was that you?

A seven-line letter. Of that, two lines were from Shelley

two lines from Chandi Das and two lines of Shesher Kobita.

Other than that, all it said was, "How are you? I'm fine."

But believe me, the feeling behind it all was mine.

- Keep your feelings to yourself. - Listen

- I have work. - I need to talk.

We'll see, after my induction.

Then?

Then what? I left the place.

Nibaran Da, you have to help me.

You deliver quotations instead of love letters

and I must rescue you!

No. I can handle that part of it. You just remove this babaji.

What if this person is genuine?

So you think he's genuine, do you, Parak?

Me, brother, I have an open mind.

If he appeals to your intelligence, that's great. Otherwise, repudiate him.

Could we meet and interview this babaji ?

- Does he stay somewhere? - I don't know.

Satya, did you see Buchki's sister? Was she there?

Yes. She was.

Then one

How old is this babaji ? 2,000?

Oh God. Paramadha, sell him an insurance policy.

You'll get so many premiums.

Hello?

Is that Potli? Is your father there?

No?

Is your mother there?

Put your mother on. Say Nibaran Kaku is calling.

He was talking about the days when Kashi was born, right?

Maybe he was talking about rebirth. After all, there have been reports of jatiswars.

Is that Boudi?

Fine.

Where's your husband?

Experimenting again?

Boiling grass?

Why, can't Nuni digest raw grass any more?

Here protein synthesis is taking place.

The grass will get hydrolysed and turn into carbohydrate.

Then if you leave two amino groups, you get hexahydroxidiamino.

- What's this rubber pipe? - Oh yes. Potli, do that one, my girl.

- Just bubbles? - It's getting oxidized.

Do come. The tea's getting cold.

I thought music would flow down the rubber pipe, mix with the grass

and create a fantastic green nectar.

If I get successful with this, I think lack of

- ...lack of food? - Yes.

- There'll be no lack? - That's right.

Boudi

start practising how to chew. Understand?

Sure. What everybody does, I will too. Anything wrong with that?

Please sit.

Well, I haven't asked you one thing, Nuni:

Will future humans walk on two legs or four?

The advantage of four legs is...

- speed. - Speed.

Two plus two.

Boudi, tell me about this, Baba.

- Who are you talking about? Birinchi Baba? - Is that his name?

Potli, keep a lookout on the grass.

I'm doing that, mother.

Come on. Tell me.

What can all this be?

I went home and saw that my father was having the induction.

Since my mother died, my father has changed.

He's stopped working; he doesn't meet anyone.

I was thinking father's mind had

Anyway, now he has got Guruji.

- Guruji's everything. - I'd say so.

So you're saying this person has, kind of, settled here?

Something like a semi-permanent settlement.

Earlier on, father was not at all interested in religion.

It's like what would happen if you fall in love at an old age.

Well Boudi, what's your view? What do you make of it?

He speaks pretty well, sounds good

though I don't follow all he says: some relevity, felevity

"Relativity".

Yes, that.

Nuni, you went too?

Why him?

The lawyer, the barrister, Marwari, Tarwari

so many people have been coming to hear him.

Leonardo da Vinci.

The man knows it all.

- Really? - Yes.

He used to practise austerities in Czechoslovakia.

- Who? This babaji ? - Yes.

Einstein used to visit him.

- He did? - Yes.

- He only taught him. - What?

Relativity: E=mc squared.

Baba taught himE=mc squared ?

He taught Einstein?

Is that what he said in front of all those people?

Yes.

And people believed him?

Everybody clapped.

Even you would have done the same.

OK Boudi, you tell me: How long does a person live?

Why not ask the person who knows all this.

Nuni

you tell me: How long can a person live?

Quite long, actually.

How long? 150? 200?

If it's 200, then he's a tortoise.

Not a man?

Not a homo sapiens.

And 2,000?

1,000?

2,000.

Could any man be alive since the construction of Kashi?

The tea's getting cold. Why don't you drink it?

What's the story? Can he?

His right-hand person seems to be a loafer.

What do you say, Nuni?

- Trees can. - Not homo sapiens.

Tree.

A Bo tree.

Buddha's tree of enlightenment. Remember?

You're a scientist.

He said all that nonsense about Einstein in front of you and you didn't expose him?

And you're laughing.

What's the use, my friend?

In the end, he'll accuse me of causing trouble, saying I'm after his property.

- But it's interesting. - What?

He showed us something. Come closer. I'll tell you.

This is the present.

- Where? - Here, at this contact point.

And this right hand

is rotating clockwise:

the future.

- All right. - And this

anticlockwise

anticlockwise: the past.

He made both of them move at the same time.

- At the same time? - At the same time.

- In opposite directions? - In opposite directions.

So he says that there's nothing such as the present because time doesn't stop.

Difficult.

Boudi, can you do it?

Try it.

Let me try.

Yes, try.

If he can't do it, how will I be able to do it?

No.

- Listen. - To what?

The voice of the babaji .

Time is a very strange thing.

Time is a very strange thing.

It's said, people are here today but not there tomorrow.

I say, you're there tomorrow but not here today.

Tomorrow: that means time.

Tomorrow is there, but today

the present, does not exist.

How can it exist?

How can it exist?

Time is constantly moving.

It doesn't stay in one place

so how can you label it as the present

tie chains around its leg and hold it

and after holding it, say, "Look here. This is the present"?

The moment it stops happening, it becomes "happened"

or "has happened"

or "had happened."

All this means, the past: something that has gone

the past

the past

the past

the past

the past

- the past - the past

On this I had verbal arguments with Plato.

Who is he talking about?

- Plato, the great Roman astrologer. - The astrologer.

Plato said, inhuman logas cognosis:

"I can't understand what you're saying."

"I can't understand what you're saying."

Dictos jargon paranois:

"You're talking gibberish."

I said, "Well, fine then, if you can't understand

"if you can't understand what I'm saying

"then I'll give you a demonstration."

Plato said, "Oh my God, what demonstration?"

He was quite scared of me.

I said, "Why are you getting scared, Plato?"

It's very simple. Look at this.

This is my right hand

this: my finger.

Now, this starts rotating on the right side, clockwise

meaning, in the direction where time goes.

And where does time go?

Towards the future.

And this is my left hand.

This rotates on the left side, anticlockwise

signifying the past: what's already happened.

The past.

And now they rotate together:

forwards and backwards.

This is life.

What was there.

What will happen, will happen.

Past and future:

the world lies between these two.

Outside.

Come on. Come and sit down.

Sit down at the back there, do you hear? You, at the back.

Don't worry so much. We'll go and sit.

After all, we must disinfect our minds, which are so filled with pollution.

Come over. Please come.

Quickly, go and finish the blessing part.

Who? Me?

Yes. Not another word. Go ahead.

My Master.

Who is it?

It's me.

You look familiar. Where have I seen you before?

Me?

- In Nepal? Have I seen you in Nepal? - I live in Serpentine Lane.

Name? What's your name?

Satyaranjan Sarkar.

Satyaranjan.

Yes. Murshidabad:

I remember now.

In Jagath Seth's house.

It was his mother's death ceremony that day.

There were many people.

Raja Krishnachandra, Rai Rayan Jankiprasad

Nawab Iftikhar Salar Khan, Khanan Mohabbat Jung

Amir Chand of Sutanati, the one mentioned in History as Umichand.

Sethji treated us to a lot of food

but the sweets ran out while serving the Masters of Sutanati

while serving the Masters of Sutanati.

So they abused the host and left.

Incredible.

This is the perfect time to go up to him. He's in the right mood.

Shall I go?

Anyway

so Motiram

Motiram?

I knew you only by that name, child.

You were Sethji's accountant.

So Motiram, you'd better chant

the Dhurjati mantra.

Every morning when you wake up, chant it 108 times:

dhurjati dhurjati dhurjati dhurjati

very fast, all right?

Now go.

Master

which is better: the path of urge or that of satisfaction?

A fine question. Fine, fine.

Tulsi once asked me the same question.

(Tulsi Das.)

We eat food, don't we?

Yes.

- But why do we eat? - Why do we eat?

Because we feel hungry.

Because we feel hungry, what do we eat?

Rice, fruit, fish, meat...

Fish, meat...

- What happens when we eat? - What happens?

- Our hunger is satisfied. - It's satisfied.

And so

the root cause of consumption is urge

and the result of consumption is satisfaction. Isn't that right?

Yes.

So

Tulsi was a sage.

I told him, without consumption there is no satisfaction.

I said, "Oh Tulsi

"without consumption, how can there be satisfaction?"

So after he finished the Ramayana, I made him King Mansingha

and told him to consume as much as he wanted.

He amassed a huge amount of wealth but nothing stayed with him.

He married the daughter of the Bengali, Jagat Singha, and blew it all away.

Excuse me.

Bankim didn't write that in his book.

- Excuse me. - My Master.

- Master, find a solution for me. - What do you want?

Take me to 1914 for seven days, Baba.

I'll buy some cheap iron, Baba. Please, Baba.

Iron?

Yes, iron, sir... I mean: Master.

Cheap?

Yes, Master, from 1914.

- What do you do? - I'm the ledger keeper in an office.

My total salary is just 233 rupees a month. I can't manage my family on that, Baba.

- You can't manage your family on it? - No. The iron, my Master.

Wealth doesn't come so cheaply, my man.

It does not, does not, does not.

Very strict meditation is required.

From the muladhara chakra, you must control kula kundali, the source of power.

Then you'll have to raise it to the sahasrar lotus.

This sahasrar is the sun.

That sun has to move backwards.

You must make it move backwards.

If you don't understand the science behind the sun, you can't do it

cannot, cannot, cannot.

And that is a matter of huge expenditure, huge expenditure.

Then? Then sir... sorry: Master.

- Then what? - Then is there no solution?

Please, Master

find some solution for me.

There is a solution.

- There is a solution. A solution exists. - It does?

Right at noon, when the clock strikes 12:00, go to the terrace.

On the terrace, look at the sun

and then chant 108 times:

martanda martanda martanda

martanda martanda

but your eyes should not blink;

your tongue should not get dry.

Then

om temporal

om temporal

o mores

om nific

om niscience

om nibus

om nivorous

om

Buchki

- this man, he's - What?

great.

But just postpone your induction for a few days, please.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Don't worry. I'm here. I'll fix everything. Come on now.

It doesn't work.

This baba's a fraud.

What? Has your faith disappeared?

It's all rubbish.

No trace of poison, only empty threats.

If you have so much power, then show a miracle or two.

That he won't do. All he does is talk about what he did in the Satta era.

Who can do even that these days, Nitai Da?

"Stare at the afternoon sun and chant a mantra." You can't even bat your eyelashes!

You try it and show me. Let me see whether you blink or not.

Is this some kind of joke?

That's where you've gone wrong.

If he did it himself, he'd reduce the voltage of the sun.

After all, I hear he moves the moon and the sun.

Nibaran, if you want to expose that baba, then I'm with you.

Babaji's new get-up, magician.

How?

- I just saw Brahma. - You saw Brahma?

Sit down.

- What do you mean, you saw Brahma? - I went over to their place, Nibaran Da.

Why?

I thought I'd meet Buchki and fix something up.

What?

I knew I wouldn't be able to meet her, so I took her a letter.

- Another quotation? - No, a poem.

- My, my. - And what did you write?

I wrote

"Babaji's a fraud, but my love..."

- Can you go on, Nitai Da? - Do continue.

I wrote, "Babaji's a fraud, but my love for you isn't fraudulent.

"If you opt for induction, why then should I stay alive?"

That's it: two lines

a couplet.

Fine. So did you give her the letter?

Kind of.

You see, Babaji goes into a trance at 7:00, and then everybody leaves

so I thought, if I went there at 8:00, I might get to meet her.

Still, to be on the safe side, I took the letter along with me.

So I reached there at exactly 8:00.

The house was silent except for the striking of the clock.

I was feeling a little nervous, but nevertheless I went inside.

After climbing half the stairs, I had the feeling, there was no one upstairs.

That was a problem.

When I'd mustered such courage, would I have to return home hopeless?

No.

I must give it one last try.

I thought, I should check the backyard and garden of the house.

As I walked, I heard some strange sounds emanating from there

"Hey, Buchki. Buchki"

"Brahmo, Brahma, Brahmayi"

"Long live the Master."

And then?

And then, the climax.

The climax? Suddenly?

On her way to college, she dropped this in the mailbox.

What did she write, brother?

"I know and understand everything, but I have no option.

"I'll be free if the babaji leaves."

So she understands then?

Why wouldn't she? Whose beloved is she, after all?

So why are you so worked up, Satya?

Remove this obstacle and she's mine.

Understood.

Is removing him so easy, Satya?

It's not that easy.

Nibaran Da, you're giving up?

Just think, Satya. The man has some talent.

He's the greatest obstacle to my romance and you're saying

he's a high-class actor

he understands mass psychology

he's educated; he has an amazing memory

he has imagination; he has presence of mind

he has guts... What more do you want?

Oh Master.

You can argue, though: he doesn't have honesty.

But today many great people lack that quality.

There goes my hope.

- But - But?

- he - He?

has to be exposed.

Listen.

- Because - Because?

if he isn't exposed, they won't be exposed either.

They? Who?

All those who are going and falling at his feet

encouraging him, letting him grow.

You've just increased the scope of our work, Nibaran Da.

What is needed is a single

- double exposure. - Yes.

- One stone... - ...two birds. Get going, Nibaran Da.

- But - Now, what's this "but"?

How? How? How?

Will I have to die, chanting "How, how", Nibaran Da?

Paramadha, you're into planning policies and things.

Why don't you come up with something good?

You shouldn't have let salt be sprinkled on your open wounds.

Rather, if you'd picked a course of action, you would have

- Anyway, forget it. - Forget it.

I've got it.

Why are you laughing? My God.

Where there's smoke, there's

- Satya - Yes.

Are you on good terms with the servants in that house?

I tipped the guard that day for tying a Rakhi on my hand:

- solid, two rupees. - Good.

This tipping is...

Parak?

You people, I believe, have very beneficial policies these days.

Why?

Thinking of one

What's all this suspense for, brother?

Hello?

Who's that? Nuni?

Did you eat grass?

What?

Listen. My room's been invaded by mice.

What can I use to fill the room up with plenty of smoke?

Nitric acid and copper?

Oh tri-nitro-di

Oh no, no.

I don't need red and blue coloured smoke, brother

just simple white smog to fill the room

What's Boudi saying?

What?

Wet straw?

Splendid.

Nuni, that Nobel Prize will finally be bagged by Boudi.

And you

Bonny Prince?

Bonny Prince

Attaboy

Attaboy

Cos

Cosmos

Cosmos

- Whist-ling wind. - What? What wind?

- Whist-ling. - "Whistling wind", "whistling".

Whistling.

It's getting a little dull, uncle.

Let's take a break.

Now, relax.

Paradise has two first-class movies playing.

You're still not steady on your legs.

This bloody Nataraj's gesture's very difficult.

While you were dancing the dance of destruction

oh Nataraj, God of Dancing

your tresses had fallen down.

- Who is it? - It's me: Gurupada.

Wait.

I think I've disturbed your time of rest.

What have I done to deserve any rest?

I came because I've been feeling a little anxious.

Anxious about what?

I mean, you haven't complained

but are you facing any kind of difficulty?

Oh is that all?

Yes. I mean, your food's OK, I hope.

Look, Gurupada. You're doing everything you can

and I don't want you to do anything that you can't.

And talking of food, would I ask you for a hippopotamus roast?

I would not, because I know that it's impossible for you to get it.

That being the case...

It's very tasty. You know the time that you term as the Stone Age?

At that time I ate it quite a bit. These days you won't get it.

If you want something like Ganesh

Some other land animal might have been simpler

but we'll find a hippopotamus. New Market stocks everything these days.

Then just find out.

Yes, yes. Don't worry. It shouldn't be a problem.

And

I hope you're not facing any problem.

Please don't embarrass me by asking such questions.

I'm no one, nothing

very lean, very small, very insignificant.

My own happiness doesn't count.

Gurudev's happiness is my happiness.

His peace is my peace.

His satisfaction is mine.

I found this person at a fruit market in Babylon.

- Nebhu was only a child then. - I was just a child then.

Then was he also

I was standing at the watermelon shop, buying some watermelon

when I felt someone tugging at the end of my robe, tugging.

Nonetheless, I saw humility in his eyes

and since then, he has been with me.

Amazing.

Then again, he is of the asirio race.

In an earlier birth of his, he was a scorpion. That's why he's so small.

OK then. I'll take your leave.

If there's anything you need

- I'll tell you. - We'll definitely tell you.

OK then.

- Grandfather - What?

the food in the house has gone stale.

One day give us some first-class mutton biryani.

Rubbish... mutton biryani.

People are getting anxious to see some gods.

Now it's Mahadev, right?

- Yes. This time it's Mahadev. - I've already announced it.

Yes, this time it's Mahadev.

The next moonless night it's Vishnu, then Jesus, then Buddha, then Hanuman.

Why don't you make a long list and hang it on the main door?

I will but the crowds are getting unmanageable.

The room's small. Call the people by rotation.

One thing, grandfather: no young lads.

Remember that day, you told some boy that you saw him at Murshidabad?

- Who? Satya? - Yes.

He's an idiot, harmless.

Why increase the tension, grandfather: no young people except females.

Middle-aged people, people your age, but not the sly ones.

People with either faith or an eye weakness. Besides that, no admission.

You keep quiet. Age isn't the main factor.

No. The main factor's... Exactly.

If only I could go out, I'd have tried playing treble top.

OK. What about letting the batparia enter?

The one who said he'd make us a three-storied hermitage?

Yes, with a cooling system and lift.

Yes. Why not? You'll have two rooms in it too.

Yes. Don't forget my 10%.

Does anyone forget their cousin, brother? Have you ever heard of that?

Hippopotamus roast!

You're a bombastic person.

At 7:00 sharp. Understand, Parak?

But be careful.

Even if you're half a minute early or late, everything will be spoiled.

The first stroke of 7:00 must match your matchstick stroke.

Understood?

And what is Nitai Da's function?

Or will he just listen to the authority?

The first reaction to the smoke will be from him.

You'd better watch the window carefully.

- What's at the window? - Will you be able to act scared?

Why act, my brother? You've seen my wife, right?

All I need do is think of her moon-like face. And then

- And what about me? - You?

You think and work it out yourself.

One house, lots of people, and a fire breaks out:

panic

and in the ensuing confusion, the girl you want to marry is trapped.

What will you do?

- Rescue her. - Good.

- Should I propose at that moment? - You can.

- But if she refuses? - You idiot. "No" means yes.

Good night.

Good night. Good evening.

- Are you well? - With your blessings, madam.

What's the manifestation today? Vishnu?

No sir. Shiva Nataraj.

- Really? - I told you it was Mahadev.

Yes, He Who Rotates the Earth.

- Come, Bardhomanji. - How are you, Ganesh Babu?

Fine. What's this?

- Date palm jaggery? - Yes, date palm jaggery.

- Will I be able to see Shiva? - Yes, of course.

If you don't get to see him, who will? You've given Babaji so much, haven't you?

Of course you'll get to see him, 10% of Him

and, if you want, you will too.

Really? Is that so?

- Yes, it is. - It is?

- Sure, it is. - Come in. Come.

Go quickly and sit in the front, as there'll soon be a long queue.

OK. Thanks, sir.

- How are you? - So you people have come.

Come.

Satya, have all the people from your house come?

Yes. Let's go in now.

Satyabhushan, that interview letter hasn't come.

It will, any day now.

- Any day now? That type in - Don't worry. I'm here.

Right. You're here.

And listen. You go upstairs and sit there. Don't sit too far in front. Sit a little towards the back.

Babaji doesn't believe in the present, you know.

The present generation too

doesn't exist.

It's non-existent. There's only past and future. Right?

Everybody wants money and wealth.

Everybody wants money and wealth. Isn't that so?

But it has to fall into the right hands.

The hand has to be the right one. Got it?

If it falls into the wrong hands, it can cause calamity

and that's what leads to confusion.

Actually, wealth isn't important.

What's important is the hand it lands on.

That's the reason for all fights.

That's the reason for all arguments.

Who with, do you know?

Jesus

Jesus

Baba

Baba

Jesus said, "Wealthy people can never reach heaven."

I said, "Why not?"

"One just has to use one's money for good.

"One just has to use one's money for good."

That day...

That day, I told him a few nasty words.

Later

there was regret.

Regret.

The poor lad.

The poor lad lost his life.

The poor lad.

- He lost his life. - The poor lad.

- He lost his life. - The poor lad.

Excuse me, Master.

- Who is it? - Excuse me.

Come closer.

Allow him to come.

He has something to ask.

Come.

Master, I

Seeing you, I'm reminded of Manu.

Who? Manu Chatterjee?

Manu Swayambhu

Sharachi, Goutami, Damash, Bairath

Chakhush, Sabarno, Dakhya Saborno, Brahma Saborno, Dharma Saborno

Rudra Saborno, Rouchya, Bhoutya, Shayambhu.

He comes and tells me

"I've written the Samhita. Please take a look at it."

So I said, "Let me see. Let's see what you've written."

100,000 lines.

Oh my God.

Who will read so much? Who has the time for it?

Cut it. Cut it. Cut it.

300.

I selected 300 slokas for him.

I said, "Keep these. They'll be useful." The rest, he threw away.

- Excuse me - I'll tell you about one more Manu.

It was the Age of White Pigs

right after the time of the Great Destruction.

One day, the Creator came and told me

"I've created humans but where will they stand? What will they eat?"

Everywhere, there was only water.

Seeing the state of the earth, the Creator became scared.

Seeing his fear, I felt pity for him.

I said, "Don't feel scared. I'm here.

"The science of the sun is in the clasp of my hand."

I increased the power of the sun.

All the water dried up.

The earth filled up with forest and trees.

Master, did you know Jesus Christ?

People talk of "crucifixion".

I say "crucifact"

because I saw it all with my own eyes.

My God.

And Gautama Buddha?

Gautam?

That Gautam?

Gautam was just a young lad of yesterday.

I knew the Buddha when he was a young lad.

Don't go.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire.

Hello? Fire brigade?

Leave me.

What are you doing, sir? Leave me. There's a fire.

Leave me.

Why, don't you know the science behind fire, Master?

Now leave, Babaji. No more in this locality.

- What are you doing? - Rescuing.

- Where are you going? - Hold still.

Can I ask you something?

This is not a quotation. It's my original words. Shall I?

What?

Will you marry me?

Oh my God.

Really?

Uncle

let's go.

Well, you're not so silly after all.

Towards the future. Let's go.

Let's go.
