You are king of your senses

Relax completely from head to toe, releasing all thoughts. After morning spiritual practices, one remains relaxed despite activity. Feel the fresh air and the presence of the trees. Be with Mother Nature to recharge. See the vision of the park with closed eyes. Sit up and recognize your role in the program.

Consider your aim in life and how to achieve it. We are connected like pearls on a thread through Guru's grace and practice. No one should force you; listen only to your own heart and soul. Know your five sheaths: physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss. Chant in the forest, feeling oneness with the Supreme.

You are the king of your senses and the master of your body's kingdom. Do not become a slave to your senses, as this leads to the kingdom's fall. Know yourself as the inner governor.

"Relax. Just relax; don’t think anything about the outside or technology, any chemicals. Just be with Mother Nature."

"You are the king of your senses. If you are the slave of your senses, you can’t govern your kingdom."

Lie down on your back. Relax your whole body. Relax your legs, your hands, your arms, your hip joints. Relax your back, relax your stomach, your hands and arms and shoulders. Relax the elbows. Relax the neck. Relax your jaw. Relax your face. Try to relax your thoughts—I mean, to relax the head means to let all your thoughts be free. From the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes, relax completely. You relaxed comfortably, and relaxed, you wake up. You finished your morning routines with mantras. You came to the program, the prayer, and the Satguru Sadguru Chalisa. Āsanas, prāṇāyāma, kriyā from the morning till now. You are completely relaxed, but how many activities were there? Including now, did it create stress for you? You are more and more relaxed. Relax. And now, think of your nostrils. And feel this very fresh, very clean air. The beautiful oxygen and our beautiful, beautiful, big, mother trees. You can, without movement, open your eyes and just see the beauty of the trees, the colors, the leaves. Beautiful. Close your eyes and feel as if you are in the lap of your parents, with your friends. Feel your lungs. Feel your abdomen. There were many activities since you woke up, but it was pleasant. Very comfortable. Beautiful thinking in this forest. Relax. Just relax; don’t think anything about the outside or technology, any chemicals. Just be with Mother Nature. Relax. Let it recharge this beautiful, comfortable, happy, pleasant nature for us. With closed eyes, see the whole picture, the vision in our park. Are you aware of this? Where are you? In our disaster room? Count how many people in orange dresses are here. How many black dresses? Do you have an orange dress, a yellow dress? Move your hands and legs. Turn left and right. And sit up. How many of you are in the Anuṣṭhānaka program? Thank you. And who is only for āsanas and prāṇāyāma? Thank you. And who is for the karma yogīs? Thank you. And who doesn’t do anything? She’s doing nothing. And the children? All right, thank you. I give you three minutes. It is a practice, it is a program, and this program I give you: whatever you look at in nature here, what do you feel, what do you think? Relax. How many minutes? Five, five minutes. Five elements. Take two minutes to think: what is your aim in life? Don’t tell me, it’s only for you. And how can I achieve it? How can you achieve it? We all should be. Including myself, we are in one thread with this beautiful… you are the pearls, and this string, it is Guru Kṛpā when we practice. Our mantra, then we cross each and every pearl. So we are all bhaktas, and Gurudev is always taking care of all. And the mantra name of our Gurudev is Alak Purījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī. My Lord, Gurudev, this thread should not break. Anything can break, but by this thread of devotion, respect, happiness, clarity, peace, harmony, and divine light on that path to my achievement. No one should force us. No one should tell us good or bad, yes or no. It is only thy ātmā and your heart. No one should tell you, not even I myself force you to tell. We imagine that we have on the whole of our palm one beautiful drop of pure water. And under our hand is the ocean. It is you. If you drop in the ocean or somewhere else… now I will give you one subject. And the subject is very clearly: remember or know your five elements. Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, and Ānandamaya Kośa. The physical body, the energy, the mind, your knowledge, your thinking, your subject, what you have. And what is the one day’s divine happiness? Ānandamayakośa. Eleven times chant Oṃ with the four letters. Nābī, Anāhat, Vākalkot, and the Ṣaṣra Cakra, the whole brain. Four letters, and from the top up to the top of the head. We shall chant now a little bit about this mantra, what we did yesterday. We shall chant now a little bit about this mantra, what we did yesterday. Chant in this beautiful forest. The nature is listening. Lie down, head to my side, relaxed. Just relax. Feel oneness. We are one. Only the body is different. Feel oneness with the Supreme. Relax. Relax. Relax. So, Hari Om, slowly sit up. And for a few minutes, we have a program for the children. So all children can come to me and sit here. And you make some good postures. That is called, what we call, Ātmā-sandrasana. It is said to Manīndriyoka Swami. This is a beautiful bhajan from Swāmījī called Achlarāmjī. From Jodhpur, to Manindriyoka Raja, you are the king of your senses, you are your ātmā, your soul. You are the king of your senses, five Jñānendriya and five Karmendriya. Sit down, children, yeah? Sit down after. To Manīndriyoka Rāja, you are the king of your senses. If you can protect or take care of the whole kingdom and its kings… the king said, "They are all my children," because the king is the father, not a father from every woman, but all is. My king, and the king said, "All my children." I am feeding them, protecting them, everything. Similarly, our body is our kingdom. And all this, what is in this kingdom, governing that king, that is our jīvā, ātmā, etc. To man in riyoka, Swami. Swami means the master. Leader. That is good to know. King or leader. And it is good to know, that king or the one who leads, the leader. Niścayātma antarjāmī. O moje ātmā. You are Nīc svāmī. And you are the governor of all. So you should know, so don’t run out of the kingdom or don’t do wrong things in the kingdom, because both are balanced. So it is symbolic: our body… you want one chocolate? Okay, sit down. So we are all here in the kingdom, not only this little room. Our whole body, and when we think of our body, we have it all. We have doctors, we have engineers, we have masters, we have everything. But mystery engineers, they are nothing. If the ātmā has gone out, neither engineer nor master, all is finished. So, who is your master, your engineer, all? It is yourself, your Ātmā. To antarjāmī, you are the Lord within myself. To kāya nāgrika rāja, you are this body’s king. To kāya nagarī, kāya means the body, nagarī means the whole citizen of that big city or whole country. To kāya, nāgrika, rājā, you are the king of that. Your indriyas are your citizens. The indriyas are your citizens. All indriyas are working in your body. Beautiful. It’s a beautiful sight. Man indriya tiri prajā. Tuna karh inki gulami, O king. O Raja, you are not the slave of the indriyas. If you are the slave of your senses, you can’t govern your kingdom. Very soon, the whole kingdom will fall out. How long can we keep ourselves? Our body. Sooner or later, the body will just shun it. Don’t be the slave of that. O my inner God, Lord, know thyself. This is your kingdom. Father? Večer. Evening. Deep Narbagh, one key.
