How universe reflects in the human body

The chakras are energy centers for health, concentration, and inner peace. Activate the energy through the foot soles. Walk on bare earth or gravel daily to draw energy for the organs, thyroid, and heart. The first chakra level is from the foot soles to the ankle joint. The new moon's energy is potent for eyesight and the heart; observe it with silver. The full moon affects all life and the oceans. The soul is one, neither male nor female. The first sound is Om, from which Śiva, the self-manifested source, appears. From resonance comes light, then fire, water, and earth. Śiva is creator, protector, and liberator. Brahmā, seated on a lotus from Viṣṇu's navel, is the creator. Proper spices in daily nourishment are crucial for health and memory.

"Walk on this gravel in your own room. See what happens to you in five days."

"The soul is neither woman nor man. It is one."

Part 1: The Earth Chakra and the Lunar Energy Deep inhale and exhale. Deep inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Deep inhale and change. Śānti. We are coming again to our chakras. So, please, can you give me the first one on the top? Yes, thank you. We come to the chakras, and before that, we want to understand and begin to practice this for our health. After our health is for our concentration. After that, the concentration is on the memories. And after the memories, the inner peace, and so on, according to this. We spoke about the five bodies, the five elements, the tattvas, etc. Now, these are all energy centers with all the glands, etc. We come to our foot-soul. In all the centers, in the foot soles, there are the ends of the nerves, the glands, etc. And from that, we can activate the energy in the body very, very much. So, the foot salt. Can you rub your foot salts now? One leg in first, one hold your ankles, yeah, and now. That is not good because all the dust came into your salt. So, take the socks out if possible. That’s it, skin to skin, hand to hand, like this, from the top of the toes till the heel. Now, the other side, very good. Now, again, next foot, and with the nails like this, yes, like that. One, yeah, you can do it. If you can, do the same with both at the same time. Yes, very good. These chakras of the body, which are so many centers, we can say chakras. And there are so many centers in the whole body. But it is our foot soles, the roots, and there needs the best solid soil and good energy, good oxygen, etc. Then, that kind of plant or tree that we are planting, we give it that kind of soil, and the tree continuously begins to develop. Otherwise, first it will become dry, and the leaves will fall down, and so on. Why? Because there is no proper energy there. So in that, we have to give the energy to our foot soles. Morning, the best is that you walk a little bit somewhere in the room, and then with the water, foot water. Now, did I speak in this? Because every day I have two or three talks. So the sun, our energy, we are that solar energy coming from the sun, and mostly energy is coming to the earth, also to the water, but we are coming to the earth. This is direct energy going through the soil. Now, for about 5 to 10 or 15 minutes, walk on mud without socks, without shoes, just on the mud. Now, don’t go very far, just somewhere nearby, and then wash your feet, that’s all. So you get so much energy from the earth. Now we are living in different buildings, and in this street we don’t have the earth. We can go near the tree, but the dogs have already made their mark, so we cannot erase that sign. So we have brought home some plastic or something like a yoga mat, and we try to make a kind of frame. We put about five centimeters of sand, but the sand is not very fine; it’s gravel. Walk on this gravel in your own room, somewhere on one side. This is not too long. You can walk on the toes, you can walk on the heels, and you can walk on the soles of the feet. See what happens to you in five days. What will happen is unbelievable. But every day, you can do three times a day, etc. And after one week or something, you can wash it in your bathtub or somewhere. So this is one of the best remedies we have for our whole organs and our body, but mostly for our thyroids. So if you have any problems with the thyroid, then go on this. And that, when you go with your toes, feel what will change in your, this part of the, sorry, this Viśuddhi Cakra. So there is this Chakra, and this is called the Earth Chakra. And this Earth is all the different planets we call the planet. But our planet is not a planet. Our Earth is Mother Earth. It is not only a planet. So our planet is called a living planet, if you tell the planet that. So living is life. All five elements which we have in our body, which we have in all vegetation, all animals, everything is on this living energy in our body. So try, do it. This is very, very helpful. And many diseases, you will feel, are getting away. It is also very good if you have problems with the heart. That comes energy to the heart. So, what are your thyroid problems? So, the first level of the cakras is from the foot soles to the ankle joint. From the ankle joint, there is another border, and that is called the vegetation chakras. So, these are the chakras here from the ankle joint to our foot soles, and we see that many, many of our nerves and some veins are coming and going to the foot soles. So this part, if we can use it, this, and that is, for example, Tāḍāsana. You know Tāḍāsana? Who doesn’t know, hand up? Everybody knows, thank you. So, this Tāḍāsana, when you do it, then it is very, very much affecting our eyesight. It is very good for our ears and also for our throat. So, there are many: the calf muscles, the bones, all the veins, etc., from the ankle joint to the knee. So this is vegetation, so vegetation and the earth. So this vegetation is there. We should try to see when we can. The moon. The first new moon is very powerful for our eyesight, for our heart, and for all the veins. When we see the second day of the new moon, because the first day sometimes we can’t see, if an aeroplane may be, otherwise that is different. And so, the dark night, it means, why dark night? It is the sun and moon. So the moon is so close to the sun that the light is too strong, so we can’t see it. After the second day, the sun is one step back, and there we see the sun. And so, this is the yogic science. Now you see that moon, the half moon. In our part of the earth, what we call the, we are in this state, our moon is going like this. So from the left side, when we see, it is from the right side, a half moon. Very nice, beautiful. At that time, we do, and I do also. If there are clouds, then we can’t do. But if there is a clear sunset and about 10 seconds to half an hour, 30 seconds, There we see the moon, very nice, very thin. And that we look to our eyes, that eyesight will be very much energy and very good. And this we are taking, looking to the moon, and after that, what you are looking to the moon, you should have in your hand or in your rings, silver metal. So, a silver ring, or a silver coil, or a silver chain. But after the moon, you see that silver because the moon is silver. The moon is a silver coil. And so, once a month, that energy which is coming from that new moon is very, very potent. Now you see the Islamic people. In Islam, they do not worship anything but the moon. They will see the moon, and then they will eat. Or they have one week or month, so there are 14 days. They are so strict, they will see the sun and then do it. After this moon is gone, they will not drink and not eat. Even they are so strict that they will not swallow if there is a cough, nothing. So once there was an elderly lady in Jodhpur, India, about 95 years old or something, and she had to go to the hospital. But she said to the doctor, "Please, it doesn’t matter what happens to me, even if I die, but please don’t give any liquid to my body." Not injection. Yes, so they are strict to this energy and this moon. So in Islam, there is a moon. What then? They are always doing the moon. When they make the prayer, that is their prayers, they will turn towards where the moon is. And so, mostly always to the west. They are facing the west because the sun is there, and the moon is on that side. So, like this, likewise, day by day, the sun and moon are getting distance. So what happens? The moonlight comes on the 14 days, after that is the complete full moon. And the full moon is affecting us very, very much. Vegetation, animals, humans, all, and the ocean. The ocean will have higher waves when the moon is completely full. And if it is dark moon, it is more soft, with not too many waves. You can go and see, there are waves all the time, but not those five strong waves which we see on that day. So this is the moon chakra, the moon, and so in every one of our chakras, what we are calling, so in Viśuddhi chakra, there is this, you see that moon, the half moon, did you see that? Did you all see it? But why? What is that? Why is it that? We will go further after. And when that comes to the anāhat cakra, or complete, then it is the whole. The color is of effecting our full moon on our heart. That’s called anāhat. Anāhat, what means anāhat? Ana means the endless. Hat means the border. That border is beyond. We don’t know how far, where it begins, or where it ends. We can say only horizon. Now ask someone, "How far is the horizon?" A student asked the professor, "How far is the horizon?" And the answer is this: the horizon is that. As far as you go, that far the horizon goes further. So you will never, never, never reach the origin. Now, after that, in certain countries where there is sand or very subtle earth. Maybe the sand, or little, little grass. Very hot, very hot, and the sun is shining. You will see on the horizon a beautiful lake, a beautiful lake, and that we are calling in India, different, that in this the deer are very thirsty and running and running because they see clearly the water and even the waves, and humans see it too, but there is no water, and the deer run and they run. He runs and runs, falls down, and dies. That’s all. But you cannot get this, you cannot achieve the origin. Now we also see sometimes here on the road, and on this road, a very hot sun is shining, and you are driving, and you will see about half a kilometer or about 40 meters distance, What do you see? Water. It looks like the whole road is full of water, but there is no water. And so, that is called confusing. We think it is, but it is not. But it is. Now, that is reality, but that reality is not for our body, only for our eyes. And now, why? Why? Because even there, it is stones only on the sand. It is the steam that comes with the heat from the earth down. And that’s only in the air, but it’s so beautiful and it looks so clean. My God, just you can go and drink the water. So, what do we call it? I’ve forgotten the name. No, no, in Hindi. So, okay, doesn’t matter. So this is how, now you get in your, this vegetation, the chakras here, the earth and this vegetation chakra. That is between us and there, but we cannot feel it, we cannot touch it, but it is there. And so, all the chakras, all the veins, muscles, etc., the bones, and so on, in our chakra, which are uncountable—how many—and so this is till our knees. From the knee to the hip joints. And this chakra is called the animal chakra. So it was earth, all the reptiles, like snakes and that, all are called on the earth. The vegetation, this is that which begins to give us, hold us, strengthen us. And the earth chakra, from the animal chakras. What does the animal chakra mean? Animals are there which are born as embryos, not from eggs. And do you know that everybody knows what was the first? What was the first, the egg or the bird? The bird or the egg? And someone who asked this question did not clarify it. And so, in our science of chakras, it is there. And what? How? That is called Svayambhū. Svayambhū. And Swayambhū is Śiva. And Śiva had no mother and no father. There was nothing. Nothing was there. The Vedas tell, Ekoham Bahusya. I am one, and now I will multiply. But who? Who said that? No one? Nothing? So, in the elements which we spoke of, one is that which is said to be the elements. In that, the first is the space. The horizon is so far, and the second is what is in the space. Now, also the scientists from this, the scientist centers in America, Vatavan Plaza. And from there they discovered the sound Oṁ in the sun. And they listened to the sound from the sun. And that you can see on YouTube. There is a tube, and there is the picture of the sun, and the sound they recorded, and there is an Oṁ, and that sound is everywhere, in the whole space, everywhere, and so that’s called the sound, and the sound says, "Na Darupa Parabrahma." If you want to see God, if you want the Supreme, if you see something, there is nothing but only and only that Brahman, and that is the resonance, the sound. And so, in that sound, is that Śiva speaking as the resonance. From that resonance comes the light, the fire. And that fire, from that light, it appears, the other elements. Fire, then the water. Earth. So from this sound, Śiva appears. So there was, he sees no one there. But luckily, he was as a human. And now he is there, and so he is the creator, protector, and liberator. All three are Śiva. And so, who was the first? So when someone asks you, the answer is there: Śiva. From that, the whole creation begins. From this vegetation, it is also as water, and so are the upper animals. So, reptilians, the earth, the reptilians with the vegetations, and then we have the chakras from the knees till the hip joints. And these are all the animals’ actions and qualities, many, many. They are like this. So, in the Vedas, the Vedas are the first scriptures written. There is one scripture more before that was written. And the language, Sanskrit, in the thousands of years, and that Sanskrit written, and that’s about, we call, about 125,000 years. Some are declaring 2,000, 100,000, or plus this. And that is who has written that. So, and what he has written is a very clear evidence, and that was a great ṛṣi called Vālmīki. And Vālmīki Ṛṣi wrote the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. So you see that he knows. He is Indian, so don’t say that Swāmījī was making some kind of fairy tale. Of course, for us it is a fairy tale, but it is a reality. And so, coming to that form, there are animals, and animals, till the hip joints, there are all animals, action qualities, this, this, this. Now, on the border, the second: one, two, three, four. The second, this is called the animals and humans border. Animals and humans. From the earth came reptiles and earth, and from there came the vegetation and reptiles. And after that, animals, and Śiva is on the border. Means the humans. So the Shiva, which one, who, what? First one, first one. There was no mother, no father, nothing. But he, Śiva, has this when he is liberated, and he also has it in one of the forms on the Ājñā Cakra. When your eyes will open, eyes one, third one. The third one is knowledge. The knowledge means you will come to the highest, which is what is. So who was Śiva? And then he is called Śakti. So it is energy. It is not a symbol. We are talking about this and that symbol, but in reality, it is completely different. And so this Ājñā Chakra for the third eye is here. There is half Shiva, a man, and half woman, the male and female. Completely half, half, half. Now, this energy, both as female and male, they are in one, one half, and that side is the moon, where I have spoken. You will see that next time when you have it, or you come to your book there. Now, the animals and humans are coming. Animals are with us all the time. And when our ignorance is there, when we are not in knowledge, we have different desires, etc., then we are acting like animals. So when someone does something wrong or kills someone or this and that, we will say, "Oh God, it’s not a human." If someone did such horrible things, then we say it’s not a human. Why not a human? Because animals act, so animals are doing. Animals have ignorance. Otherwise, they have the same ātmā, which I told you day before yesterday, that the soul is one. But the quality and the like, which I told, how it is, each drop of the water is from the ocean. So in reality, all is that water element is a water element. So we said, "Oh, God." It’s not a human. And therefore, I used to tell people, when you wake up in the morning, you open your eyes and just say one word inside. I am. I am human. I am human. Part 2: The Essence of the Soul and the Divine Order Now, you can ask further: what makes me human? Then think. Come to yoga. Come to this. What makes me human? And what is the quality of the human? Etcetera that comes there. So the soul is neither woman nor man. It is one. We are saying this is a male and this is a female, and this is our ignorance here. But it is also not ignorance, because we have to tell something. Otherwise, water is water. Maybe this water has become orange juice, and the other one has become apple juice. That’s all. But the liquid is the same; the salt is the same. Many people, mostly in Western countries, and also Muslims, say that women have no soul. Yes. And you know, for how long they did not let them get the election? They said women should have no rights. So many, many things. Now, in the last four, five, or six decades, otherwise before it was not. You will not always be behind, so it is the wife who has to be behind. Oh God, thanks to God that I came to Europe and I brought the people in the world equality. Yes, so even the men, who are you? Who told you, "Amen"? So, because it is a oneness, that’s energy, but there is coming that energy is dividing, and so there is Śiva. He begins to tell the male and female, otherwise almost only one. And there were different things before, but that I will not tell you, because you will say, "Swāmījī, again you put down the women." So I said, no, they are, but in India, in the Vedas, the highest, in the highest it is said, "Mātṛ Devo Bhava," the first Upaniṣad says, you can read that. Mātṛ Devo Bhava. First, the mother is God. The first God is the mother. And that’s why the man is jealous and puts them down, but it’s not. So, mother is also, we said, earth. Why don’t we say "my father"? We can say the fatherland, but mother is the mother. So, "Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava," and then father. So, mother and father, these two are declared in the Ājñā Cakra in our Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras, and Kuṇḍalinī and Śaktis. Every symbol here in this book is written, and is clearly described in the many scriptures of the old ones. But you have to understand, this is just imagination. As this picture, you can make it something different. It doesn’t matter. But whatever this symbol is, it also must have some meaning. So the lotus, every chakra, whatever we see, there is also a lotus chakra. Now, this chakra, the lotus flower, is in the water, muddy water, and it remains in the water; otherwise, it will go down. But on the lotus is sitting. Who is sitting? Brahmā. Brahmā is sitting on a lotus flower, and he has visions everywhere at once. So that’s why he has four heads. This side, that side, this side and that side. So I asked my Gurujī, "Then how does he sleep?" No? So Gurujī said, therefore they have to sleep like this. So, have a light rest, cushion, and don’t sleep deeply, like stay awake and everything. So, there is a lotus, and this lotus is the coming of Śiva. So, the first is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. In this Nāda, the Śiva, and Śiva brings this element as Viṣṇu. And in the Mahāśiva Purāṇa, it is written, it is said, "Śiva, you go and reside in the ocean." So, a milky ocean is where Viṣṇu resides. Now, Viṣṇu, and comes Brahmā, but he’s still not there. Now, Śiva said, "I gave Viṣṇu a place to be in the water, and now he’s only there." So he said, "Protect, protect everything," and so water, life in the water, vegetation, animals, everyone, everyone. Viṣṇu is the protector. And now, about who is the creator? Śiva is there, but Śiva has no such duty. And so on, that brings the Brahmā. Śiva creates Brahmā, but everywhere there is respect. The president has that chair. The prime minister has this chair. The minister has this chair, etc. So, where, what, we should put the chair first? And so Śiva created and gave the order to Viṣṇu. But Viṣṇu doesn’t know he is there. So from his navel came a beautiful lotus. And Brahmā is, Śivjī said, Śivjī created Brahmā and said, "Brahmā, please sit on your holy seat. And your duty is to create." In the Anāhat Chakra are Śiva and Pārvatī. And finally, on the top, before, he is in that Sahasrāra Cakra, the top of Mount Kailāśa. And in the Viśuddhi Cakra, which we spoke of today, we will come one day, and so there is Brahmā and Sarasvatī with the music, but she will come again. At this point, there is now the resonance in this, because this resonance we call, what we call here, whatever I have to tell, I tell, not correct, vocal call. And so, here it is always said, "Oh, the sound of the throat is beautiful, beautiful." And so, it is a Saraswatī. So, it is said, oh, the Saraswatī in this. We in India mostly celebrate all. And so, for Saraswatī first, because Saraswatī is the voice, the knowledge. And this knowledge comes from Brahmā as the Sarasvatī. So, in this way, she is the daughter. She is the daughter, and in another way, she is the wife. Now, we will not think that she is your wife and you made a child as your daughter, no. These are the symbols and sound. So understand, the Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is not only something that we will think about here. And so here is again the very beginning, where Śiva is there, but there is also Brahmā and Sarasvatī. And so here is Brahmā and his faithful one, Sarasvatī, as his wife, you can say. But this is that, but the knowledge which he gave is here, that Brahmā and Saraswatī are sound. What is the instrument here? Sitār, sitār. And Sitār, how many strings are there? Eighteen. And this all has its why. And all the 18 are connected to these chakras. From where? From where will you sing? From where will you... everywhere? But brought everything on the navel. Nāda Rūpa, so the nāda begins from our nābhi. Now, let me all try. So, put your left or right hand where you like on your navel, on the stomach, here. Nicely, okay? So, anything we will talk about, anything, okay? But you should feel if there is a movement or not, okay? Water, road, car, aeroplane, home, eating, drinking, sleep. How are you? Where are you going? All the time, the first sound is here. So, the Sanskrit language has 52 alphabets. Purījī, Purījī... Beautiful dance. So when he dances, Śiva, sometimes you will see this in Indian dancing, you know. It dances, but there is no sound of the foot. And then sometimes, sometimes, ooh. So, one side is like this, and the other side is like this. This is how we can do our bhakti day. Should we let her dance today or tomorrow, as we are going? Yeah, it’s okay. It’s a Buddha, Buddha Jīvatā. No problem. While you are destroying the growth, it will dry up also. So, Brahmā. Now, 90% of people say that Brahmā is born from the navel of Viṣṇu. There is a trinity: Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā. Now, Śiva has no mother, no father, nothing. He manifested Himself, Svayambhū. That’s the word, Svayambhū. And then, Viṣṇu, with all elements and water. Brahmā is there, sitting on the lotus. People think that Brahmā was born from the lotus out of Viṣṇu’s navel. He was coming? No. Śiva gave the order to Viṣṇu to give the lotus for the sitting holy seat of Brahmā. And so it comes. Brahmā or Śiva gives the order, "You said, ’Do the creation,’" and then he disappeared. Now, Brahmā also has nothing. There is no... Sṛmatījī is not there. You know what is Sṛmatījī? Don’t think. Most people say "madam," but you know that in reality, madam is your wife. We call her Śrīmatī. And you should say, "Madam," meaning your wife. Now they don’t think of it; they say, "Madam." And madam is also very happy. Oh, I am madam, but you are not his, your wife. So, ma’am. And then, after the mantra, I am not going to this part. Okay, next. So, Viṣṇu, from his navel, he is the creator, begins now. Lotus came out, but not Brahmā. And on that lotus is the Viṣṇu bed, and Brahmā is sitting there. Now, first of all, Brahmā wants to know, who is my creator? My father, my mother, my father, who created me? So someone said, "You are born from Viṣṇu." He said, "No, I am not." I will go and find out if I am from Viṣṇu. So he dives with the string of the lotus, going deep and deep into the endless ocean. What do we call it? The endless ocean, nowhere. He could not reach Viṣṇu. He was looking. He was disappointed. Now again, he comes out long on the flower up, so he was disappointed. Oh God! He should not have done it, given this voice, disappoint. And now, whatever you say, that I am disappointed, is neither my mistake nor your wife’s mistake. It is your mistake because you said, "I am disappointed." So this word, this feeling gave Brahmā. Brahmā. So he was disappointed, and he was sitting on a lotus flower. Śiva said, "Brahmā, you are the creator. Now you will create." And so he begins to give all these indriyas, the senses, which we spoke of before, on the first day at that time. So who is born? And this is what we call Saptaṛṣi, the seven holy sages. How does he come? Now you will, this slogan, okay, fair, fair, we don’t understand. Of course you can’t understand because you were not like that. It was hard work to bring you here. All these five elements and everything. So from his two eyes, he sent the two ṛṣis. And Brahmā said, "Make creation." He said, "No, we will meditate, only meditate." From the ears, from the nostrils, etc., and then from the mouth it came. And so, one ṛṣi, he began, and everything begins, the generations, etc., etc., till the nābhi, the navel, till they’re up. Now, I will take a little more of your time. So, now we will sit in meditation posture and feel the navel. You should put your fingers or palm on your stomach. Don’t press it just because we said to. Let’s go. How? Where? Yes, there is everything. But now we have to, out of 52 alphabets, there are four that will not touch your navel. And this, there are some people, children born, who can’t hear and cannot speak. So if you cannot hear, you cannot speak. And there is one other big, nice story. Perhaps in the evening, maybe I will tell it. But those stories are not, you can tell anytime. When you tell a story, you have to have a subject, and from there you have to present something. So, not only can we tell a story, but otherwise it has no masala inside. You know what is masala? Spices. We eat good food, we get nice aromas, no? This, that. Now junk food, they put something red on it and then white. Spices. Spices are our life. Every spice is for different glands in our body. And certain spices protect our body from diseases like cancer, ulcers, and many others. For example, if you have pain in your knees or your joints, they are very painful, like this. Your fingers are like this because you did not eat enough of that spice. Now, which spices? That is called, we call the haldi, the yellow kurkuma powder, the yellow spices, the roots. So if you have a problem, then, per day, three teaspoons, let’s go in your stomach, morning, lunchtime, and evening. You can put it in your vegetables, you can put it in your water, you can put it in your milk, you can put it on your fruit salad, but three spoons should go in the body, and after five or six months, you can write me something about what happens to you and how it was. And from the beginning, we are getting it, then we have it. So we in India, these spices, in any case, we will use them. Mothers will use them. And that’s what we call now the Grandmother’s, what? The Grandmother’s Hospital. Yeah, or what we call... no, no, everybody has knowledge, but I don’t know what I want to tell you. This is, and that is called, we call it in German, when you buy the medicine, where are you? Pharmacy, yeah, Apotheke. We call it in German, Apotheke. So, these are grandmothers. Why did we say grandmother? Because the wife, Śrīmatī, is forgotten. She doesn’t cook anymore. Eighty-five percent of people in the world cannot cook. And that’s why increasing meat, and this, and that, and that. And the people are making more and more some kind of company here and there, and restaurants, and this and that. And then, of course, the husband is a professor or whatever he is, or president, so he doesn’t want to cook. And the wife is also very much educated. She said, "If you don’t go to the restaurant, I will not cook." Because he is a president. He is a president for the country. Not my president, she will say. So this is that, so we lost, we lost, okay, 20, 15% who can cook, which is not properly cooked. Spaghetti in the water, and salt, and something, that’s all. So, where are you? Where are we, humans? And are you talking about your life or your money? That’s it. Life, or your position, your position will only be carried when we die. That’s it. Otherwise, what you are doing is not like that. So, let’s go. So the spices. Spices are very, very powerful, very powerful. But if you think, "Today I will eat a lot of this," that’s not good. Day by day. They bite slowly, slowly. How to eat or spices? So we call in India, "the salt chapati flour," or "chapati flour in the salt," or "salt in the chapati flour." You understand what I mean? No, if you make a bread chapati, how much salt you put in? That’s it. Or how much? Now you understand? So, you cannot put one cup of salt for two cups of soup. Oh my God. So, you should know the spices have their quantity. And Mother knows that time. And there are many men who are also the best cooks. And they can cook perfectly. So, but mostly women have the fingers, and also because of the mother, and mother and little child, etc., etc., okay, I don’t go further. So, there are different spices, and they are all good for everything, for the whole body, and for memories, etc. You should see the book of the spices. The Indians have made many cookbooks, but they are nonsense. You can throw it in this river. Yes, they are cooking the chickens and this and that. You can throw it in the river; maybe fish, when it’s cleaned, then fish will eat. So spices, every different kind of vegetable. Purījī, Purījī... Prāṇāyāma, prāṇāyāma... Please think about your health, and your health will depend on your nourishment, your food. We can write and send you what, what, where you should put, and what you put in. And otherwise, the person like me who can’t cook, you know, so they give me very nice spinach, nicely ground. Spinach, vegetable with salt in this. And I said, "Please put ice cream on it." So, the person like you, all my good friends, they will say, "Swāmījī, ice cream on this?" I said, "Yes, put it." They said, "Okay, Master." But I said, "What is this daun?" They said, "Spinach." Then why did you put the ice cream on it? You say it. So, we don’t know what we are eating, what kind of spices we are taking. People who are doing all these junk foods, and that’s why we are suffering. We know that we will die one day. That is sure. But at least we live very healthy and happy, and one day we shall sleep, and in the morning we are gone. No suffering, nothing. And so, eating is very important. So that’s Brahmā, his creator. And then all these ṛṣis and many things and all creation began. So Śiva is the creator. Brahmā or Śiva is svayaṁbhū, but we can say. So Brahmā is the creator and Śiva is the protector. So protecting us, creating us, and liberating us back again into the cosmic Self. Śiva is there. Many people say destroyer, destroying. Śiva doesn’t destroy; he is liberating us. In this, then, when we will come, where is Śivjī? He always disappears; he runs away from me. Ah, God! So, then, when everything is done, how many elements are there with him? All his music and his thought, snakes, etc., etc., and the moon is there. So you see, that is that.
