Everyone should know which program they belong to. Our organizers always announce everything: where it is and what it is. But discipline is not followed. Patañjali and the yogīs have said that yoga is successful only if you have discipline. I speak of this discipline every day, every time. This first area, for instance, is not permanently reserved for you. Many people sit in that corner at the back; they are very respectful and think, "Swāmījī has these special disciples." Can you, one day, listen and sit there near the windows, and let others come here? We could make one red tilak which cannot be cleaned for five days. Even if you wash, those who have this tilak will go there, and others will come and get a tilak. That's it. There are many. I am sorry, but even if you are a member of the company, this is the first thing: we don't follow discipline. Therefore, there will be no success in your spiritual life, yogic life, or in what is called social education. These few sannyāsīs should also sit in another corner tomorrow. It must not be that they all sit in the front. If they do sit in the front, then they should do something. This is the discipline. You become a sannyāsī; it does not mean you now have all reservations. No, no, no. You go and clean the garden tomorrow. I have not seen a sannyāsin working in the garden; I am observing them. I never saw Pārvatī working in the garden like this. This is discipline. I am also a sannyāsī, but you don't know how much I am working. I have no peaceful time to eat. People come and ask questions after a consultation, and this and that, and between there is a telephone. So I mean, please, I have these problems. It is my karma yoga, and I am very happy. I don't refuse anyone; what I can do, I do and help. So everyone should work. I said that you should work with earth, everyone, without socks and without gloves. If there is nothing to do, take the earth and wash it like this, and wash your hair like this, and get earth everywhere. And then don't wash, because we don't have water. You should take it out again, no problem. Take the grass and clean it. That's it. In this, we have nine or ten days. I didn't see everyone in these techniques. It's not that we need the work here, but it was for your good: your health, your energy, and for many things like cancers, infections. The best medicine is Mother Earth, but nobody, I have seen, works. Work is worship. And if not, then practice. You can sit and gush up for twenty minutes, and this is just nothing; twenty minutes go like this. But if you have to work in the earth, in the garden, twenty minutes is like one day. And then you go and you destroy 50 liters of water per person. I see many men standing in the bathroom, taking the brush and cleaning the room. And ladies say, "Please, can you go? We need space." So all these men, and then they come, "Swāmījī, look, it was very good." You see? And the girls, ladies, they are working so much; it doesn't matter how their nails are. So who wastes the water? All the boys doing slowly cannot heal your disease. Now you say, because my nails are too thin. Yes, your nails are very thin. But by birth, your mother did not give you nails so thin. Your mother waited for the baby in the womb for one month so that all the nails and everything would be nice and strong. But you are coating your nails with artificial plastic nails on them, and if not, then the color. So, it doesn't matter which kind of nail polish you have. But all men, I told you, all boys, that these chemicals that destroy your nails will make them weaker and weaker. And these chemicals which are in the nail polish can go underneath and create some kind of disease. It can go to cancer; it can come to urinary problems. Really, you don't know, but this has a connection, and also in your eating, many things are going into your body. So, all boys who are making the polish and nails, please don't do it, and learn from the ladies that they don't do anything, yeah? And even the men have such big nails, and they are always typing like this, yeah? And ladies are doing like this, how? Nice, they are so good, very intelligent ladies. So please, if it is necessary—your nail is very weak and broken—then put some neem powder or any good powder and put a plaster so that your nails will be strong. You can... Yes, do with your nail, working in the earth. Look at our dear sister Jayā Devī, how healthy she is. She has no illness, and her nails and everything are very nice and strong. So please work with the earth, you know. If you will not work with the earth, then Mother Earth will call you earlier, so then you are in the earth. There is one story that I will not tell you. So, yoga first: yoga is for our body. The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body. And we have destroyed our body 78%. So we are away from nature. So, practice, we are here. And this ashram, this place is very pure: earth and everything. No one gets illness from this soil and this atmosphere in this ashram. Only we have—not only—we have many Czech here. So there are the chests which are standing, so they call it the chest. And this tick, this year we don't have so much, because we don't have ill animals. And we have a very nice environment and everything, so there are no ticks. In India, we say "thick"; thick means good. So the air, water, air, food, everything is so good. When you see the tasteful food is not healthy, so we are making for you food which is healthy, and that you don't like, so luckily. They are working very hard and waiting for you, so 80% of all people are the best clients for our tilak. Yes. At least, not more than at least one coffee, one pizza, one ice cream. Ice cream, many things, you know. Whenever the seminar is over, Sevapurī and his wife and workers said, "Thanks to God, it's over." Who said this? Workers, because you give them so much work. Anyhow, food which is tasteful is not good. And food which is not so tasteful is very good. So there are two places in our body. One is the food for the mouth, our gum, our tongue, the whole mouth. But there is another one. He doesn't like that, and that is the intestine. So what is good for the tongue is not good for the intestine, and what the intestine doesn't like is fighting with the organs. Organs fighting with our intestine, our stomach. So the liver said, "Are you stupid? You sent so much into my liver: alcohol, too much coffee, this and that." Pancreas said, "Why do you eat so much sweet? I cannot produce so much insulin." So he gives this to the diabetic. And too much fat and this and that. The heart said, "I cannot purify." In one minute, yes, in one minute, how much blood is going through our heart? Someone told me this; I've forgotten. And in one hour, how many liters of blood go through our heart? And our heart is our sweet heart, and therefore we should try to keep our heart, but we don't care about this. And when the heart attack takes place, then you are out of your life. So yoga is with the nourishment, both liquid and solid food, and physical exercises, and connection to nature. So tomorrow, I want to see if there is no work to do, then at least they should go to one tree and put the earth together and clean this and that. That tree will get more oxygen, and when the rain comes, it sucks more water there. So, how many are we here? And how many trees are here? Yeah, everyone has one tree. It takes 10-15 minutes to clean it. This is called yoga-karma-sukhośalam. In the Bhagavad Gītā it is said, yoga-karma-sukhośalam: the yoga will be successful through the karma. So when you come to the ashram, of course you are most welcome. We are very happy, we welcome you, and we do all the best for you. And you know, many of you are happy. Some people don't have at home such a sleep. In one room we have eight people, and that is eight notes of the harmonium. Others said, "Very nice." What a joy. One said, "Some have some pain." Very nice. So, try now to practice discipline. And we know that we have enough food, but if you eat less, you will have better meditation, better practice, better anuṣṭhāna. So it is not that you are eating less. But if we can do, what is the principle? How many percent solid food, how much water, and how much empty space? That's called the space to move, tolerance. So water, and air, and solid, then it will be very good for you for exercises. Also, those who have constipation problems, then take this principle, so you will have no problems. So, the anuṣṭhāna today, nearly after ten years, I went to them, because I don't want to disturb them. They are meditating, and if I go in, then they will open their eyes, they will stand up, they will come and praṇām, then begin to say the problem or question, and which nostril, and what with the back to do, so better I don't go. They will manage themselves. So in Anuṣṭhāna today, I was in our hall, and all our practitioners were so, so deep in their sādhanā. And I was sitting there about 15 minutes or 20 minutes, so 93% of people did not know that I was sitting there, because I was coming very slowly, slowly. So it means they all were doing their sādhanā. And what does the sādhanā mean? So sādhanā means that we bring all in order. So that our sādhanā is successful; it was very nice today, and I think many of you should come to the Anuṣṭhāna. Āsanas are okay, prāṇāyāma is okay, lecture is okay, but I think you should come to the Anuṣṭhāna. And there will be two kinds of anuṣṭhāna that I will design for you. It is very good. So yoga is what I am telling you. It is so easy and simple, but it has a good effect. So it is said that yoga will be successful through your karma yoga. And karma, anything that you do is karma. Even inhalation and exhalation are karma. Now, there are sometimes people who misunderstand, even the instructor, and I did not check every instructor. So, for the last nearly two decades, one made a wrong practice instruction, and now everyone was doing it wrong. And one said, "No, it is not like this. Swāmījī said it's like that." And the instructor said, "No, Swāmījī said like that," as I said. So, when you do certain exercises or prāṇāyāmas, always we should begin with the left nostril. The left nostril is the principle; it's called the moon. And moon means decreasing and increasing. From the full moon, it again goes back till the dark moon, then again from the new moon till the full moon. So the moon has its rhythm. So the lord of the moon is the mind. So, mind, the moon is the principle of the mind. We call devatā. Devatā means goddess. God is that which is good. So the mind and moon are together. So this is a full moon. And slowly, slowly, it will become less and less and less. Similarly, our mind is never steady. Always changing, always changing. You cannot stop your mind; it doesn't matter what you want. When you die, then the mind is lost. Mind is there, but lost. So, maṅka devatā, the moon, the mind's principle or mind's god, is the moon. And the moon is changing, so that is called the moon is emotion. Therefore, it is a principle of the water. On our earth, rain depends on the moon. It depends on the moon because that emotion, and therefore that principle of the moon, is emotion, and that is the water. So the water is emotion. And that emotion is in our body as our blood. Our body, this blood circulation is coming to our heart. And therefore, our anāhata is emotion. We call our heart; we always make something like this. And when we make it like this, then we say, "Oh, it's heart." And heart means love, and love means emotion. And what does that mean? Is it anger? Hate? Jealousy? Cruelties, et cetera. This is emotion. Or happiness, joy, harmony, peace, kindness. This is also love, so both are the harmonies. The emotion. So now, which emotion is there? And that is balancing the moon. So when you are very, very angry, then, sometimes very intelligent men, women are not. The women on the earth are the divine. It's a man. Emotion is very strong. Man shows the emotion, but female not. She's like a termite, silently. A strong, big tree, and small emotion can break the whole tree. So this is the principle. I have nothing against men or women. You know, forget the termites, but what we call the diabetes and blood pressure, this is a silent killer. So similarly, someone who doesn't show strong emotion, anger, very big anger, and then it soaks through the door. And women are so kind. She said, "I know you are, but please give me your hand." Is this painful? Why do you do this? And he said, "No." And again, elbow. So then the doctor comes and puts this cloth hanging here, and all the time that man sees his hand. Why? It was your emotion, and emotion is so quick. At that time, we call it a very negative vibration under your feet, so it is said, "I'm sorry, it was a bad vibration." Under my feet on the earth, or negative constellation? After you are a very nice man or nice woman, no anger, etc. So these are what are called emotion: negative emotion, positive emotion. So, through the positive emotion, we can overcome the negative emotions. So there is a moon, water, constellation. So the left nostril is the, it's called the moon, and so also this nostril is changing, and also it has more effect on the brain. And the right one is called Sūrya. And Sūrya is constantly not emotion, better, but it has no that power because the sun has no activities in that way. But emotion, the moon has activities, and that's between two. So in every 14 days it is changing. But constantly, every second, the moon is changing. When we have mostly the brain hemorrhage, it's taking place through the left nostril, this nāḍī. The brain hemorrhage. Brain hemorrhage. Attack. And then what happens? This nāḍī is going from here down. So this nāḍī, only this one, can paralyze half the body. So all control is gone. So when your emotion is negative, involved in hate, jealousy, etc., then everything is paralyzed. So the lips fall down, it has no control, the eyelids also, the jaw is hanging, the hand doesn't work, so we know how it is. So that is the moon's principle. But when that takes attack, yeah, a very strong attack, then it can be very rare, but it can be the whole body. So then is the death, because it's not only our limbs of the body, but the very critical and very dangerous part is that these emotional nāḍīs can hold the brain, making this imbalance. So, thanks to our medicine, doctors give some medicine, they wait, it takes time again to recover, and that is in our left nostril. So therefore, any sādhanā you do, you should begin with the left nostril. When the left nostril is in order, then the right will be okay. So this is Iḍā and Piṅgalā. Both are balancing. And both have something to do with anger. So it doesn't matter if it is your friend or your enemy, you should not awaken your emotions. Because if you have some enemy or someone you don't like, you want to damage someone or do something. But be sure that 80% of your anger will attack your body and brain, etc. And 20% your enemy, and that enemy will say, "Oh." So, in reality, it damages us, ourselves. How? You take the earth and say to the sun, "I don't need you." And what will happen? Will this dust go to the sun? All will fall on you. So even if someone is your enemy, don't try to damage or tell someone that you will punish them. So that punishment is not punishment, but that is you punishing yourself. And that is, therefore, it is called both should be balanced. And these two nāḍīs are balanced, and taking care of them is Vajrā Nāḍī. So when we do anuṣṭhāna, we should begin first with the left nostril. You see? There's no sound. Look. Yeah, you see? That's powerful. I did not manipulate. Yes or no? Yeah. Some people are doing like this. Yeah. And we do like this. Why? These two fingers balance both Iḍā and Piṅgalā, and so balance takes place here. And if it is like this, then it is a support that you don't go like this or you don't go like this. But some go more into deep samādhi, and some who go to a deeper samādhi, then they do it like this. Yes, this is very interesting when you are sitting in front as an instructor. Yes, yes, but the emotion, yes, you can do it too. So therefore we have to calm down our iḍā nāḍī. Then it's also for the heart. And then, otherwise, we give too much pressure in the beginning, doing the prāṇāyāma, to the heart. That's it. So why should we use the first left nostril? And another one? There is certainly where you can do with the right nostril, but in very rare things. So few times, our dear Nirenjan Purī, who is leading now the Kriyā Yoga Anuṣṭhān, asked me, and I said, "You should do the left." And again, people said, "No, Swāmījī said right." So I don't know which Swāmījī that was, which Swāmījī. And that Swāmījī, who did wrong, it went on the wrong way. Yes. So, sādhanā, better we come and our teacher, our instructor, our master should check always. Because it is a mechanism. Now, when you have a car, you drive. From time to time, you should check the diesel quality, the oil, etc. So, and if you don't care about the oil inside, that's how sometimes something happens. So the engine becomes hot and hot and stuck. So then there is no two. They are one. That's it. So we don't want to be one; we are two still. So we are Jīvātmā and Paramātmā. Take time. So our left nostril is very, very important. So whenever you sleep, you should sleep on your left side. So the Sūrya Nāḍī flows, and when you don't lie asleep, then the right flow. So this is, it's called the Svarya Yoga. You know the Svarya Yoga? And Svarya Yoga is depending on these two nostrils. That's a very interesting chapter. Śvarya Yoga. Yes. And then it's called Nāda Yoga. There is Sahaja Yoga. So there are many, many branches of yoga. And everybody says it is very good, but you should know. That's it. So practice. And come next seminars, that you will do a kind of anuṣṭhāna. Yes, there is one point: some people who have had an operation or have problems with the knees, hip joints, or ankle joints, then we should offer them a good, comfortable chair so they can practice. Many don't do Anuṣṭhāna because, really, they cannot sit longer. So we shall organize about 50 or 100 chairs. Those who cannot sit, they have to buy one chair and write their name on it. This is my chair, my name is this. I wish everyone can use my chair when I'm not there, okay? So it means you buy a comfortable chair, however you like. You can have a comfortable chair and then a footrest, because hanging all the time is also not good. It is not a joke. I did not know when I was young, and now when I sit, then I say, "I should make one paragraph more, and what?" Comfortable chair. So, anyone who wants to do this, we can buy so that all chairs are of the same quality as the folding ones. And so, people who have problems, the disabled, you will pay, and your name will be written on it. You put your name and your practice, and when I'm not there, I donate to our ashram. So, my dear, all these techniques that we are doing, it should be comfortable. Gurujī said we should not torture our body. Our body is our temple, and our temple should be clean and nice, and time to time, painting nice color. It means, time to time, wash yourself. Yeah, when it's sweating. So there are many things, my dear. Tomorrow, meditation should be longer. Āsana you can do at home. So tomorrow, after prayer, all people who are not in Anuṣṭhāna will do only half an hour of āsanas, then one and a half hours of meditation. You can change your posture, and that is very interesting. Many people will do like this. And others will say, "What are you doing on my back?" So, in that case, if you are sleepy, you can leave with your open eyes, look to Mahāprabhujī. So we are closing our eyes and looking, sitting in front of the Gurujī, and Mahāprabhujī said, "For him it's boring. Everyone has closed eyes and is sitting." So from time to time we should have a darśan. So if your eyes are closed or open, be aware, be conscious, and have from time to time darśan. We say, "Gurudev, darśan, dhan, ho." So that is very important. So our Chandranāḍī is very powerful and should be kept very clean. Śrī Deepak Nālan Bhagavān.
