God is everywhere

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, leading to oneness. A global situation, perceived as a blockage, teaches lessons yet remains undesirable. Prayer extends to all divine forms and to humble individuals who serve the earth without formal belief. This universal love is the recognition of our shared humanity. The practice requires discipline, as seen in widespread safety measures. True understanding comes not from external knowledge but from internal practice and the guidance of lineage. The human being is composed of five sheaths, like layers of an onion, which must be transcended to reach the true Self. These elements merge at death, but consciousness continues its journey. Yoga is not mere religion but a practical science for balancing life and controlling disruptive emotions. The path is sustained through Guru Paramparā, a living lineage connecting us to ancient wisdom. Theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient; it must be planted like a seed within to grow. The seed must be nurtured patiently to bear fruit, representing the transmission of true technique and consciousness. This inner work connects us to a power greater than ourselves.

"Yoga is the science of the humans."

They have blocked me, and not only me—the whole world is blocked. This lock is very good; we have learned many things from it. Yet, however it is, we are not happy about this. This kind of infection, this kind of disease, whatever it is, is not good for us. We all would like to pray. We pray to all the great gods, we pray to Jesus, and we pray to the Holy Mother. That Holy Mother is in the lineages; what we call all the Śaktis. This means they are all as a mother—holy mothers. And also our good brothers, the bhaktas, and all spiritual people in the world. There are some people who do not believe in God or religions, but they are so humble, so kind, very helpful, and they have great energy and great things for the whole earth—and also for the forests, rivers, oceans, and mountains. These people, what we call, they don't believe in God, but they believe in and love everyone. When we feel one branch of the tree, it is the same with respect to God. In this way, we know we are all human, and we have immense love in our heart. That is what we should all become: oneness. How do we feel that oneness? It is like this: one mother gives birth to a child, and the whole family is very happy. The neighbors also have a baby, and they are also very happy. The neighbor is happy that they have the child. So everyone is... that's called love for everyone. Come here, come here. There, thuddy, thuddy, thum, thum... thuddy, eh? Yeah. Tuck, tuck... thuck. Good, thuddy. No, no... no. So, my dear, my guards are sometimes sleeping. I am alerting my guards. That one is a little bit sleeping. Okay, so tomorrow or next time, we will make a chain from there to there. Why? Not because of me, but because all my brothers and sisters, all my devotees—all our bhaktas are Mahāprabhujī’s devotees. They all would like to see. When somebody sits on top, then from there to here is space. It's okay, very good, but the double space they have to remove because they can only see from there like this. So, who is my God? Yes? You should know, please, that I don't need to ask. Today is the beginning of our seminar, so we can talk about anything. Because we are all oneness, but we need this discipline. You know, in the last weeks and months, even with the force of the government, everyone should stay in their house and not come outside on the street—in many, many countries. In some countries, they had to put the police, and really, the police were giving like to the horse because there are two things we want: everyone's safety, and second, because of these infections, we don't want anybody to become ill. So, sorry, one person gave a lot of knowledge now. One person makes a lot of knowledge, a very good lecture. But it's enough today. So please, who is the guide here? God. Who is the God here? Is there any God? Oh, my God is in the street outside, and he doesn't know the instructions. What was it? So Vasant is my very dear God. So you sit there? Yes, very good. And look half to me and half there. Okay, a little more. You show my face. I have a long beard, but you don't need to. Okay, but you should look there. Otherwise, stand up behind me. Okay. Everything is like a ṛṣi-bījī. You know what is a ṛṣi-bījī? Do you know what a ṛṣi-bījī is? Okay, then what is the recipe? Can someone tell? No, no, that's... It is British. It is British. And the rice. It is rice. Green bean. Green peas. Yes, and there is a little bit of spice. A little spice. And a little butter on it. A little butter. That's the recipe, and then we are making double recipes. Everything, this and this and that, tasteful. But when this recipe is not exact, what we should do and what not. But it's tasteful for our tongue, our mouth. But in ten times, he said, "My God, how you put so many things in your stomach?" But in the stomach, God has given a great deal. Even you have a hundred things in your stomach at once. The Intensteins have 2,000 workers there. So, everything we can get is good. Thank you once more. Now all my program is rissi-missi, so it's good. So we will sing one bhajan. Okay? And that is one nice bhajan. And you know that we all were looking for, and that is called what? Satsaṅg bina. Okay? What is it? Satsaṅg bina. Yes. Please. Again, some of our brothers and sisters came late. But we are all in this seminar, and we have very beautiful programs. There are different classes. So one class is the first, for our juniors. They are taking care of some of the people, and they are very nice children. They like every year very much. And they are the first for us. What does the first mean? Because they are little, and we respect and take care of them, because it is said that the next day, month, or year, they are the generation. Today's child is tomorrow's great. And after that, those who come to learn and get that kind of technique, knowledge, and practice according to the yoga. As our Prime Minister of India, Modījī, a few years before, in the United Nations, he gave a very nice lecture. You know that Modi’s never... I have seen him that he won paper and reading paper and talking. And myself also, I don't read like this and talk. Because when we come on the stage, then it is not yours. It is the power of our God’s power. And God is with us in every place. But, of course, sometimes someone sends a letter. Then, say, "Please, this is a letter." Then it will say, "Yes, sir, I’m with you." But I’m in the school, and I have my birthday today. So, of course, we have to read it. And sometimes, what is somebody giving? Then we have to read it or look at it. And the same thing, all our yoga in daily life, our teachers and our practitioners, they are not reading. Because they have such knowledge and teaching toward others for us. It's very clear. And so, Modījī said two, three words, and all were looking. And he said, he said, "Yoga is the science of the humans." And that we know, so that science of the humans is yoga. And that we have to see the science within ourselves. We have immense and immense of the science in the human brain. Not out of the brain. So that is the first part, that yes, it’s the science of the humans. Everything that we did, and still, we are working and doing something more out of the science. So science is the sense, and the sense is the science, and the science is the humans, and that human is the brain. And in that human, the brain is controlling everything, even in our body, all our movements, etc. So yoga is a science of the body, mind, and soul. So there are five elements. And if we do not, we will seek and concentrate on that and learn about that. Then the human will not be complete. Now, some people are saying the body and mind, but what is that other? Therefore, that is a science; the body and mind are only a quarter percent. So we have called the annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, then manomaya kośa, and then the knowledge, and annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa. So this is what is in the body, and that is all we know. Doctors, they know, they have learned many things. The surgeon also knows. They are trying to understand. But finally, it is God. But of course, Holī Gurujī used to say, next to God is the doctor. So we should not give up, and we should not say doctors are not good. No, no, doctors are very good. But those doctors, they become the scientists. They become the surgeons, many things. They are further higher than other doctors. So we also, we are yogīs. And we are above all other science. And still, we cannot understand all the science of the humans. Immense and immense power. And so yoga is not like what you call religion. Religion is a subject. So religions are a god. God is within us and then outside. But in reality, within ourselves is God. And God will give us everything. We have to follow the rules of God. So in this way, yoga is the great. Now, in yoga, the first is what we call how to bring our body to the right way. So first is good health, and that good health is very sattvic food. Sattvic, without sattvic, is nothing. You see, when one drinks a lot of alcohol, it’s very good, no problem. Then take the car and go home. And suddenly it’s in the brain, moving in a circle. And then fall down accident. So balance is called yoga. And that control is in the mind, and we know that we have no more time. Every time, every second is gone. Can we use that? In which way do we do otherwise? One becomes out of control. Out of the emotion, anger, hate, all these things that control us, out of everything. So this practice, what we are going to practice in our seminars always—my path, my teachings—there are many others, many, many, they are also talking about everything. But we have on the path, and that path is Guru Paramparā. We always will see our paramparās. If you find a child and say, "Where are you? Is my mother? Who is that, your mother? Who is her mother? Who is their father?" So we have all their generation. And if we have something from the blood, from a hundred years, dried blood somewhere, it is coming to your child, maybe from two hundred years. And so the scientists, they can find many, many things. And through their science, they will tell this stone is how many thousands or many years old, the stone or part of the stone. So we also, through our yogic science, we know who are my past, my ancient, the old people, or the ancients. They are there. And inside, feeling that they are connected with all, that I am, this is my father. And so we also know through our yogic science that, yes, now I am that far, and very soon I will come to the Supreme or the Cosmic Self. But we have to go all together. So this prāṇa, which is in our body, and this prāṇa is very powerful. Even the brain will go out of it. But this other one is there, so body and mind will not be forever. So, therefore, we have to come: Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya. Ānanda, ānanda. When ānanda is, then all becomes one. So this five, ānanda means now I am very relaxed and comfortable and happy, and I know now I am on the cosmic. So now these five, which we said, the body of nourishment, the energy body, the mind body, the knowledge body, and jñānamaya, ānandamaya kośa. Now, this is only the one after the other layer, like an onion. And when we take the onion, one piece to another, another second, but there is no onion. So from these five prāṇas, five energies, five bodies, it’s only onion. But where is the ātmā? So through these five, we can get into our Ātmā. And how we will now come to the unconscious to our Ātmā. So when we die, all these five elements are gone. They will not die. All will merge into there. Earth in Earth, water in water, water to water, air to air, fire to fire, etc. But then, where am I? Where is my body? I want to go into my body again. Only the mental may be thinking, and that mental mind is not enough. Mind said, "My duty was that," and now it’s exploded, bomb, adiós. So after that, only a yogī can go to the true path. And that no one can give us. Only some persons, like we call the yoga teachers, or we can say some masters, gurus. Okay, I’m also just telling you. I’m teaching you. But what is then there? You are somewhere, and I’m here. And someone will say, "Mr. Swamiji, I was happy and very good." Oh, good teaching, good lectures, many, many poems. Oh, Swamiji, but what is now? Now from up he said, "Swamiji, what is now? Where am I?" You know, there was a story. So God was there. And everybody said, "Where is God?" So this and that and that. So he said, "OK, you will see God when you die." He said, "OK, I will die." So he died. And now he’s standing there. Where is God? I don’t know. Now you cannot go back. My God, you try to explain this to me. There was no God. So what will be said, or you said? I send you till there. Now I don’t know your karma, yes. So, it is not so easy through yoga or through meditations or through religions. It is our border, only your border. Our border, after, we don’t know. And in that, we should know, you should know through your practices, your heart, and so on. Now you know, yes, that is the truth. So, how will we then go further? And for further is practice ourselves. Everything, you know, one is very hungry, and there’s beautiful posters, and there’s such good food pictures on it. Someone is giving, helping. Others are giving food, nice salad, nice vegetables, etc., etc. And you are so hungry, and you are looking there. So, food is on the poster. It’s very nice. But how will it go to my stomach? That’s it. So, me and you, and all we saw, you saw the poster, but how will it go in your stomach now? So that is only one way. I saw your picture, and now you have to search for that food. And what kind of food? Prāṇa. OK. Oh, concentration. What is the concentration? Your eyes are going to the poster. So now I have to make in myself my techniques. So if you make your mantra mālā, phiro, that will go in you. It is in your body, in your thinking, your feeling, and that everything I am producing, that I have all in me. So, food was an example, but another food is called knowledge. And that knowledge is also not still. I am satisfied. Oh, that is the third still. And so you will be the greatest and highest everywhere. So I can only show you the path. That’s all, and after that, something happens. Our guru, Mahāprabhujī, will guide it automatically. So I gave you there, and then I said bye-bye. Who? Me? Who, me? This body. So as long as this body is there, I will do my best. But if you will run away out, then there is no one there. That’s it. So, yogīs, practice yoga science. These techniques, what we are doing, so that we are making the most out of it, from the earth, we can grow out this beautiful plant, so this is a great thing. So our techniques of yoga in daily life are connected with our old paramparās, our ancestors, yoga, our guru. So we have the two. One is your parents. So this is generation to generation, but they give it into our hand, and that goes further to the guru, and that is again paramparās, or generations, that come. Then what we call mokṣa, or everything. So our practice, what we are doing—there are so many practices and different techniques. And so, for example, our prāṇa, the inhalation, the breath, so this we call the breath, and now inhale and exhale. But we don't know. From this, what can we bring? The quality out of it? So we know inhalation and exhalation. But what yogīs are making techniques, that is very important, and we really need a good yogī. So there are two kinds of gurus, or yogīs. One is only talking. That is only, what we call, only talking. And the second is not talking, but teaching. Inner, so there are outer and inner. Of course, learning on the piece of paper, and then we are telling further, this is also very important. The theory and practice. So, this is a theory I’m talking about. But now, what I talk to you in theory will develop in you. I have a seed, and I show you the seed. That’s all, but if you get that seed in your hand, it will not work. You have to put it in the earth. Then it will grow. So what did the seed say? The seed said, "I am." And within you, my dear. But if I want to give you the birth—birth means the growing up—then, my child, I will die. What? Because the seed will come out. It will sprout out. But my position, my everything is gone, but I’m not unhappy. I’m not angry. I have a little bit of pain. But I know that it is not you, my child. I am growing in you. And you will take care of the seed. And again, we’ll go further. You will also go in the same way, like I. But the third one is coming out as it sprouted. So, how long will I go? Therefore, one day, this seed will merge into the cosmic. So protect the seed. Now you know. The many people, this is called the human science. Now they kill the seeds. Seeds will grow only once and are finished. And now you need the seed. So, you know, now they have the seed bank. So men and women, they are okay, they are enjoying, they love, but they don’t have a seed, so what to do? And so in the banks, in the hospitals, and many places, that’s called the egg bank. So the seed is the father, and earth is the mother. So what can the mother do? And that seed is not coverable. That’s why we also again become that we should be our self. And then, then your shield will be continued. So similarly, our techniques, what we have, our Kriyā Anuṣṭhān, and one of our Kuṇḍalinī cakras, this Kriyā Śakti, this too you have in your hands. A great power. But anybody can come and take it. So when it is taken, otherwise, like this, this seed has no further seed. So it is that which is called Guru Paramparā. The parents’ paramparā, the paramparā is that only, the humans to humans. Which one? Which human? And that is the quality. All is good quality. There is nothing to say this is good and bad. But have you that capacity? You’ve got that knowledge. That time, knowledge was only surface. Your professor was teaching you in university. He only gave the prāṇas. But you have to make the seed inside. So we have these techniques, and we are here for one week or two weeks. We will get these lectures, and you will practice together. And don’t think, "I want to get it, I want to get it." No, no, no. It takes time for the seed to sprout and for the plant to grow. Which age? Like we have some fruit, our two, three years, four years, then the flowers will come. And then the seed will sprout in that, and then it is already fruits, and in the fruits there is again the same seed. Years and years will be the same. So that’s why, what humans are doing, this science, this is very bad. Why are you putting two seeds inside something? Yes, now it looks like this, but the taste is different. How many fruits have they destroyed? The real taste and the real fruit is only with the farmer, not the barber. Similarly, when you went to which disciple more and then go back, and again you were angry, or you are helpful, or you don’t want to do it, and you go to the others, then it is easy-peasy. So it’s a good test, maybe, but it’s not. Just throw it in. That is garbage. So garbage is different, and good with us is the best. So this we will have. That’s why yoga in daily life, every day we are practicing. But we have that our gurus, I’m not that much, I’m just trying. But my Gurudev, all paramparās, they push me. Probably not a problem with power, but... So, day before yesterday, it was a very heavy cloud, and we went to go to the satsaṅg evening prayer. And everybody said, "We have to rely on this and that." We should be there. And I turned to Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī and Holī Gurujīs. I said, Devapurījī, please. This satsaṅg, and then after you can make water as much as you want. Only that time, and again clouds went out. But I spoke 15 minutes more, and I think Devpurījī said, "You gave me a promise for that much time, and now I am not giving you permission," and rain was coming, Amrila, this, that. I said, "It is your prayer, not my prayer." So you see how this picture here is not a picture. It has power. And it is humble. If you do anything, they will not be angry. They know it will sooner or later, they will have this thing. So, this all is in your heart, in your mind, and in your thoughts. There is God in you. So, we will practice more, and we will even again talk about this subject. The prāṇa is more powerful than anything. And that is what is going through Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. And then, of course, where all these chakras are, and a chakra is not physical. It is the place where it is in that pipe. But prāṇa is there. That prāṇa is in that part of the body. And so we will enjoy very nicely. We will be happy. And we will be very happy and together all here. Wish you all the best. You will practice. You will think over what I said and get the first saṅkalpa. Now, today, within yourself, and that saṅkalpa is to all our paramparās: please, my whole body should be healthy. And my house, my friends. So this is the first saṅkalpa for our good health. And second, my Gurudeva, let me go on the path, the best path, where all great saints are there. And I am going with my guru. And third, I wish to have a long life, so that I can do something good. And fourth, all my brothers and sisters in this hall and in this training, be very happy and gain a lot of energy and practice. And fifth one, O Gurudeva, Mahāprabhujī, all this, I adore today. It is in your hands. This is our saṅkalpa. And we will begin to practice. So now we have five minutes more. So that’s all for now. Children are waiting somewhere. But they went for dinner, lunch, and you will go to the lunch. Thank you. Sarveṣāṃ svastir bhavatu, sarveṣāṃ śāntir bhavatu, sarveṣāṃ maṅgalam bhavatu. Lokaḥ samastaḥ sukhino bhavatu. So then, all the best. And see you again next program. I think it’s raining, and going, and if it’s no more raining, best is to get good prāṇa. Such a best energy and prāṇa and atmosphere and beauty and everything is how very nice. Hari Om. Those who came late can come for blessing.
