Herzlich willkommen. I am very happy to be here again in Gurujī’s Ashram in Vienna. A very warm welcome to everyone. We have German, Hindi, and English all together. I do not know if the translation is distracting. Today’s topic, as shared in the webcast, is: “Health is the first wealth.” How can we harmonize our health and our happiness, our blissfulness? It sounds very simple, and it has a long history. It is not simple, but it has become simple. Yet we have spoiled it. That is the human mind: the Sehnsucht (longing), the desires, and always greed. Our president has just said it is a spiritual day. Yes and no. When we see or hear this, it was a dark day, full of pain, cruelty, suffering for all of us who watch, but especially for his mother. When we think about Mother Mary, as it is said, her life from when Jesus came into her body to the end was a torment. When we think about Mary’s life and Jesus’s life, it was a suffering from the beginning of Jesus’s life until his end. How cruel and without any mercy—Jesus had to carry his cross, and then he was nailed. I am not going to say it is a spiritual day, but on the other hand, it was a liberation after so much suffering. Finally, there is an end. So if we want to see it as a liberation, it is a happy day; it is ended. On the other hand, we do not want anyone to live through such pain. Such pain, such torturing happened very often. There was a holy woman in Islam—I think it was a Sufi woman, but I do not know if it was Sufi or something else—her name was Annāl Ḥaqq. Annāl Ḥaqq means “I am Ātmā.” Annalak means “I am Ātmā.” So ham. Ich bin das, das bin ich. That is me, it is me. I am Brahman, Brahman am I. And that, Islam does not accept. But they do not accept it in Islam. Yet he repeated it again and again, An-al-Ḥaq, An-al-Ḥaq. So they gave him a very hard time. They beat him, but he did not stop. They also nailed him on the cross, like Jesus. But he repeated again and again. He died on the cross, and the blood was flowing from his body, and each drop of his blood had the sound. They said he is a Satan, a devil; they said he is satanic. Usually they were buried, but then they wanted to burn his body. So they took him off the cross and burned his body. But while he was burning, the voice was still there, “Annalak, Annalak.” They said, “Oh God, there must be a big Satan.” When his body was turned into ashes, even from the ashes the voice came, “Annalak, Annalak.” Everyone bowed, “Please forgive us.” Then the word was gone. So sometimes, very often, it happened with people like him. Of course, you cannot write a Bible for each one. In English it is called Good Friday, but it is not good. Es ist eine traurige Freude—it is a sad Friday. Or, should I say, Good Friday? Or we should say God Friday, not Good Friday. But not Good Friday. Whether it was or not—some say, many say it was not this day. There are many stories about Jesus, but we believe, and the belief is very mighty. Durch Glauben—you can even manifest it through a stone, by devotion, unsere Gebete. A stone can melt by our prayers, by our devotion. But we see and we manifest Jesus as Jesus. No matter how it happened, we see and we believe in Jesus. And they say he suffered for our sins to liberate us from our sins. In this way, he is still alive as a mother, as a father, as a woman, as a man. And we see that in each of us there is this suffering, this pain. And our parents, our friends, our partners try to reduce, diminish our pain—sorry—so that such a thing will never happen to us again in this world. And it shall never happen again in this world. But the times have changed again; they have turned around again. And there are so many who have no mercy. Why does this all happen? Because the spiritual education is missing. The education of the parents, not of the children. Now is the time that the parents have to be educated. A father and a mother should know what a father and a mother mean. A father and a mother have to know what it means to be a father and a mother, what responsibility we have, which dharma—for our children. And these children are also men, and they need spiritual development and spiritual education. The children are humans; they need spiritual development, ethics and spiritual education. And so in many countries, people have started to open their eyes and their hearts and dedicate their time to children and for parents. There is an organization called Altheim, but as ethics, it is not good. Because the parents have… No matter what difficult time it was, your mother and your father were always with you. And no matter how hard the times were, your father and your mother have always been with you. So your parents need you, and you send them to an old age home. On the one hand, it is good; they get what they need, their medicine and their treatments. But you can also help them, treat them. It is not right. It means you have not understood your parents, your father and your mother. We have become egocentric. As long as they have given us what we needed, we needed them. Now we throw them away like the skin of a lemon when it is squeezed. That is the first step we have to take. Then the world can be better again. We need an education for parents, not for children. And automatically, the children will learn. So, can you imagine the suffering of Mary, Mother Mary? And also for Jesus—it was not easy. But why? Because he kept it up for us. And so it is with our parents. They endure and they suffer with us. It is our duty to give up everything and to stay with our father and our mother. The son asks his mother, “Mother, what can I do for you? You are old.” Mother said, “I do not need anything. I have no expectation, no material expectation of you. I have given you everything, and you give me everything. But still, you want to do something for me.” She said, “When you were born, I was with you.” Were you there when your child was born or not? A mother has only one wish: that when I go from this world, when I say goodbye, I want you to be with me, so with my eyes I can see your face, my child, and with this sight I can say farewell in peace with your wonderful… radiating eyes. Because it is the first time I saw your eyes when you were born, and this picture is always with me, and I want to take it with me. So I look into your eyes, into your face, and I will say goodbye when that comes back again. There will be no war, so we need a human education. Everyone wants the child to become a doctor, an engineer, a director, a president, a politician, or rich, etc. No one wants or knows that I will give a spiritual education. No one wants the child to become spiritual, a holy man or woman, to liberate others. It is so important. Why have you given birth to a child? Just to say he is going to be a doctor or a manager? And your son is in Tokyo, and you have a heart attack, and no one is there for you to take care of the sick. Nobody is here to help you, to treat you, to bring you to a hospital. This is the welfare money. But being well, or welfare, does not mean money. Wohlstand means happiness, blissfulness, health, family. We have enough to eat. Often we say what Gandhijī said: “The mother earth has enough for us, but not for our greed.” Often we say, as Gandhījī said, “Mother Earth has enough for us, but not enough for our greed.” Greed has no limits, and so we are going over our limits. What happens in this world is horrific. Our parents did not give us education. If you see an injured bird falling from the nest, we take it and very carefully bring it to the veterinarian because we have a heart, we have love and mercy. We feel one with the injured bird. That means we love life. But there are also people who just kick the bird away with their shoes. There is no love in their hearts. So such feelings will come back, will be reborn again in our hearts. Wohlstand again. Welfare again. Health is the first wealth. Nun, gesund, also ich kann nur versucht zu verstehen, or try to understand. And also many scientists who try every day to get new information from the universe. But sometimes it is painful for them, embarrassing. They have used billions of dollars for research, as it is in NASA. They measure the sound in the universe. What is the sound of the sun? It is not only nice and beautiful that the sun comes and goes. Do we know how big it is? Thank God it is far away. Otherwise, we would be turned to ashes within a few seconds. And they measured the sound, and the sound is OṂ, very clearly. And they said that the Vedas and the holy ṛṣis heard the sound and said it, and used it in this mantra. They said that the ṛṣis in the Vedas, they have heard this sound and used it for the mantra. How did they hear? How did they measure? By meditation, they were there, but we do not believe because we are blind. We have not learned it. We are far away from that. But now we believe because the scientists have said it. The scientists already said, and the saints have already said that. My question for the scientists is, they have not discovered anything, but they have to say something. Please forgive me. 99%, I am sure, I agree. 99%, I am sure I agree, but there is 1% doubt. If they were not successful, if they were not successful, they said, the ṛṣis have said, they have found Oṁ. If true or not, it was a good thought in their minds that the ṛṣis have found Oṁ. In our body, each atom has its own sound. Each chakra has its own sound. What do we call the bīja mantras? The mantras. What does the Devanāgarī alphabet say? How many alphabets are there in the Devanāgarī? So many are there, these lotus blooms in the chakras. As many Devanāgarī letters, as many letters in the alphabet, as many lotus blossoms there are. Only the sound in the solar plexus is Oṁ. The sound is in the navel. And from the navel comes the first “om.” And so, “a-kāra,” “a-kāra.” And so, in the sun, the sound is akāra. In the heart and in the viśuddhi, u-kāra and ma-kāra. That is in the three alphabets. These are the three letters of the alphabet, and from there all the language is derived. The seed of the sound is the navel. No matter what you say, you try to speak, always it is in the navel. It starts in the navel. Put your hand on your navel. Do you know where the navel is? The navel is there where you were born, and that was a second, a time for the mother. The navel is where you were born; that was one second, one time for the mother. She was happy, and she was also very sad that the child was separated. From her navel, a mother knows. Nobody else knows. Now my child is already separated. Now my child is separated from me. But now she wants to take it in her arms and put it on her chest. She does not want her child to be separated. And that is where the seed of the sound is. So what happens in our body, in every joint, every muscle, the blood? There is the whole universe. It is said in the Vedas, the Vedas say, “Do not drink cold water, it will break your throat again.” So warm water is very good. Thank you. So it is here. This is a miracle. If you touch it, it is cold, and if you take it in your hand, it is warm. I touch it and it is warm. That is the love of the mother. She wants to give the warmth. We all have the warmth of our mother in our body. We do not know what she gave us. She gave everything. What do we give her? So, it is said in the Vedas, what is in the universe is in your body, and what is not in the body is also not there. The sun is our Maṇipūra Chakra. We do not need to go that far. We need not go so far. By meditation, we can do astral traveling, and the astral traveling is within our body. When we dive into our inner self, it is like the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean. You dive from this shore, and how many years or days will it take you to reach the other shore? You dive into the ocean, and how many days or years will it take to go to another coast? So also the mother’s womb is endless. There is no border, no limit. What does this mean? In a mother’s love, there is no border, no limit. No matter if she is here or not, we are bound with her, so everything is within us. Our mother or father have not died; they have wandered into us. They are here. You look like your father, and you look like your mother. Of course, it is a bit different. Sometimes a mother does not know who the father is. Often. Or the father does not know if he is the father. That is Kali Yuga. Kālī. Now, everything. And so, that is the highest. That means? For example, the UNO, the United Nations Organization, have given a task and have the thoughts and an imagination and a picture, a goal. The UNO, for example, they have a target, an aim: sustainable development. Which is sustainable development? Yes, but they will never reach it. We will never achieve what they call the green economy, the green economics. And, my God, I thought we will have so many trees. I thought we will have so many trees. But when I heard about the green economy, I heard about many highway builders, buildings, and industries, and that money, money, money. But when I heard… about the green economics, they want to build highways. We should learn from God. God has made sustainable development continuously since mankind has been here. One wave after the other. We are always here. The journey to infinity is in our body. That is Kriyā Yoga. There are 64 Kriyās. But only a few can learn that, or endure it. The Kriya will give us Siddha; it will be eternal. Immortality has two meanings. That we will go, say goodbye by our own will. And there are always two: a man and a woman. One hand can make a sound, but that is a disaster. But it is a disaster. By the hand, it is a common salmon, and it is so. But both hands, it is the same thing. That is how it is. Do you know the name of your tenth great-grandfather? Maybe the fifth? Sixth? Seventh? Where are your roots? You do not know; we have separated. That is why humans are confused. We do not know who we are. So we need self-realization. We need self-realization. We should come to our origin. Where is our origin? Our origins are before the creation, before the Earth was created. So, how many yogas? Yogas are millions of years old. In an empty space, it was empty space. There was a parliamentary session, and only yogīs could take part—self-realized. God gives the upper house, the lower house, so we are here in the parliament. And there it is decided, and the law was written there. So that is the justice, Dharma Rāja, Yama Rāja, etc., etc. This is all. And so, we say God, but we have not seen him. We say, “Holy Father,” but we have no idea. We do not even know about ourselves. But we have a feeling, a picture in our heart, that the origin is there. That is what we believe. I am one, and I want to multiply. But how? How? We just said we need two hands. But there was only one hand; there was only a man, without a woman. The man cannot do anything, and neither can the woman. They had good thoughts. It needs two, not only one, to reign, to govern. Anyhow, they want to create a new creation. How and what? So many will come. If they come, why should they go away? They will come and lie as the stones. They have no motivation, no feelings, nothing. Then, no, that is not what we want. Then he said, “Well, they should be active, but how and why?” The lazy animal is lying there, so I have said. Five principles. There shall be five principles. There are five elements: space, air, fire, earth, water. How shall they take over? But they will still lie around. Nobody will work. In Kali Yuga, there is also a system, a very good one. It is a system, it is okay. If you do not work, nobody gives you money or food. So you must go somewhere and do something. So Agnidev, fire. So the fire. The fire said, “I will move all the living beings.” But how? How will you move them? You are fire. Maybe you can burn everything. “I will activate them without any saying. They will be active.” This is a good science. Agni Deva, fire, solar plexus. “I will go into every living being as hunger.” I will go into every navel as the hunger. If we are hungry, there is the fire burning, and we are in a hurry driving the car, but we stop when we are hungry. We go to the petrol station, and no matter how good it is, we buy a big sandwich. Can you imagine the hungry? That is Agni Dev. That is good. Dhan sakte karuṇā, dayā, mārṣī, gnādhe. Vidhi ham mantra, vipetn chudhye o hai liye mariya fidayne gnadhe. So gnādhe. Then dayā said, karuṇā said. What will they eat? Yeah, that is a good question. So he said, “Jīva-jīva-bhakṣate,” life will eat life. Then only a few will live. So every living being will have an enemy. The three kinds of life are in the water, in the earth, and in the space. And they will all have enemies in the water. Enemy, and there we have the navy. And ground force, the army, and the ground force. And the air force, the Luftwaffe. So, everywhere there are enemies; be careful. So, life will eat life. Dharmarāja said that dharma is the justice of dharma, righteousness. If we say a religion, there are two religions. The one is just one-sided belief. Dharma, the translation of dharma, is righteousness. He said that is not good, that is gruesome, negative karma. Yama said yes. Yamarāja said yes. We need them to come back when, once they have already eaten, then they are not there. When they have eaten up everything, nothing is there. So the sheep eat the grass, and then in the other place, the grass comes back again, it grows back again. But how do they come back? One creature. God said, “I want to have one creature who can take over my duty, my task.” Hope is like accompanying you from birth to death. Which hope, which love, which devotion you have given to your child. And after some years, your own child curses you. God said, “I did not want that. That is not what God wanted.” That is why spiritual education is important. So that is why humans shall not eat animals. What you eat, that is what you are. A human, for you, this is nectar. The devas should drink nectar. They should have nutrition to become immortal. Through this kind of eating, as I said, you should eat fruits, nuts, and leaves. When the fruits fall, take them. Do not tear them out, the plants. Many principles are there, but now it is said that is nothing. We have another beautiful thing. How shall our economy go on? Feed the humans with junk food. Feed the humans with junk food. Let us build big hospitals. Many patients, and many nurses and doctors will have a job. Many companies will have money. Let us have them ill. Let us have the humans. I was in Bangalore, a big hospital, 10,000 beds, but still people waiting. On the waiting list, they also come from abroad: Americans, Europeans, Sri Lankans. It is a very beautiful hospital. Can you imagine 10,000 beds? And there are many more hospitals. Several hospitals are full without an invitation. One wrong step, false nutrition, and so our life becomes shorter, and 10% of our life is happy and healthy. 90% is illness, no matter what we have, physically, well, but psychically ill. And so, jīva-jīva-bhakṣate, life will eat life. And the men will have discipline. And they will guide and protect other living beings. So, the welfare, the health, is the first welfare. The mantra from Āyurveda, the first mantra of Āyurveda: “pahala sukha nirogi kaya,” the first wealth is health. Someone said, “Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health.” So, thank God, our ancestors, our ṛṣis have given us something, and it is not lost, and that is the science of yoga. The science of yoga is not only physical movement, but many, many things: concentration, meditation, breathing exercises, eating, etc., etc. Much more: concentration, nutrition. And free. That was a wonderful technology. So they said, “You do not need tools, you do not need instruments.” You are free. You need no tools, no instruments. Just do yoga. Just do. You need nothing. We are sitting in front of the computer. Oh God, the eyes. When you are sitting in the street, you see the numbers. You rub your eyes, you look there, you see your boss. But on his shirt, there is what you have written. So, half a minute, rub your hands and put them on your eyes. 20 seconds. So half a minute is 30, and 20 is 10 seconds are free. Also good. In einer Minute—within one minute we can be happy, or wash with cold water. So we can do yoga everywhere, and when we drive in the car, we can also do yoga. Be happy. So health, yoga is a science. What we can reach nowadays, yoga is in the whole world, all over the world. Everywhere, in every newspaper. When I came to Vienna in 1972, we tried to put yoga news in the newspaper. No. But now in every magazine, in every newspaper, you find yoga. Even some companies have advertisements for yoga. Even a laptop is called Yoga. So, its gift comes with a charger. It comes back. So, the science of yoga brings the bold stand. The science of yoga brings welfare. Good health is the first wealth. And so, tomorrow we will continue. Namaśivāya, Oṁ Namaśivāya, Oṁ Namaśivāya, Oṁ Namaśivāya, Oṁ Namaśivāya… Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Har Har Bode Namaḥ Śivāya, Har Har Bode Namaḥ Śivāya. Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Har Har Bode Namaḥ Śivāya. Namaśrī Har Har Bole, Namaśrī Har Deviśvara Mahā Deva. Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān kī, Dīpanayan Bhagavān kī. And so the Dharmarāja, the Dharmarāja and Yamarāja. Dharmarāja had gesagt, we are brauchen few elements. Dharmarāja said, “We need many elements.” And Yama Rāja said, “When I destroy one element, all other elements are destroyed.” But he said, “I am also very important. So please say what?” What? Dharmarāja said what? Yamarāja said, “I do not want them to die, all of them. That is why we need to open all the windows. We need fresh air. Please open the windows.”
