Om Shānti Om Shānti… Om Shānti… Om Shānti. All our dear brothers and sisters, we are here together. It is a great time for us to be together. We have already passed three days, and in these three days, I think you have achieved many things. Our seminars are always conducted with step-by-step techniques each day, but how we are doing that is very important. If someone only does anuṣṭhāna, or only āsanas, or only prāṇāyāma, that is not enough. We have organized it so that we are always engaging in something very good. We are not left with the fear that we have no continuous practice. So, what we have done is what I want to tell you today, especially since many of you are Yoga in Daily Life masters or practitioners. We have Yoga in Daily Life teachers and many practitioners, some with nearly 40, 45, or 50 years of practice with me. That must mean they have a certain kind of knowledge and achievement in yoga—not only physical āsanas but also in spirituality, achieving cosmic consciousness, knowledge, and Guru Kṛpā. Today I want to speak, and this is not only for those in our āśram. This is Bhagavad Gītā Deepanārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī’s ashram. It is a big castle in a beautiful area with beautiful gardens. In many places, people search for greenery, but here we have many large trees, about 150 years old. Wherever we look, it is as if we are in heaven. But heaven is nothing. In heaven, only certain humans sit there. They sit, not knowing what to do, and they want to come back but cannot leave. Or they are on a hill. So we have to understand the highest, the cosmic gods. That is called Brahmaloka. Brahma is not like a Brahmin. What we call Brahman is not a religion; it is just a name we give. It is the state of oneness. When we talk about oneness, we should not separate other animals or label anyone a thief. It is the cosmic Self. Oneness is where our consciousness is complete and clear, neither hell nor heaven. They are not only on earth. There is a whole different world called the three lokas, and there are many lokas. These three lokas are past, present, and future, and it is very important to know this. If we say we are with God in God’s heaven or towards hell with devils, we must understand that there are no devils where there is only God. Otherwise, it is... It is said, Gurujī says: Chaudhā-loka. What are the seven different kinds of layers where lives exist? Finally, there are so many lokas that no one can appraise them all. But Brahmaloka is for one who has achieved Brahman. Then he or she has no difference. One can achieve that, and can go further, but cannot come back anymore. Chaudhā lōk ikiso brāhmaṇḍa. That brāhmaṇḍa is one after the other, with many suns, many, many suns. In that brāhmaṇḍa, there are many suns, many of those lōk, one after another. That is achieved only by that great, great, great sādhaka who can become that Brahman. Do not think you will get Brahmaloka in this life now. You can be, or you are not. From your birthday, how were you developed? How was your nourishment? How did you become a little child? Kindergarten, school—what was your behavior? Have you ever felt anger, jealousy, or hate? You are lost. We are lost. To go to the Brahmalokas, one must be clear through and through, with no more dirty spot. That is the sādhanā, the practice we do not know. Will we achieve it this year or this life? Or will you begin the next life now? This life, next life, and that life are just like changing clothes every day. You take a beautiful, clean, good dress in the morning. It is a new life, a new morning, a new dress. Throughout the day, what kind of energy did you get? It is not only dirt, but more thoughts and feelings on this body, on your dress. In the evening, you put it in the washing machine. You throw this cloth away; we do not call it dirty, but I will say it has some spots. Who made the cloth dirty? So all the time, look at the dirt. Oh human, you are pure. But still we know we cannot be pure. It is said that if one goes with the body into the Brahmalokas... There are certain ṛṣis, great saints, or great persons, like the Pāṇḍavas, who went into the cosmic self with their bodies. We would like to go there. I could give you a certificate and say everything, that you are not dead but are going, and your time on earth is finished. When someone dies, we know everything: they are not here anymore, they are under the earth or burned, and so on. But if one goes as they are, the whole body wants to go up. Is there anyone here with you? Will someone come and take you up? You might say, "No, no, I do not want to go up. Please bring me down." It is hard. We do not have that heart. So who can go? It is rare, rare among humans—some kind of ṛṣis like Devpurījī, who could go to the rock, walk in the air. We, however, have to walk very carefully or we will fall down. So we are still not so far. But we are preparing. How? We are like seeds in the earth, now sprouting. There are two leaves, then more leaves, and day by day, year by year, that is power. So, to go to Brahmaloka... When we talk about God or great saints, they will not speak of Naraka. You know, that is all on earth. There is nothing below anything: Naraka and Svarga. Both are here. Do not think I will now be speaking of mokṣa. There is nothing. It is a clean space, a blue sky. There are some airplanes and some crowds. This is in Naraka. So Svarga and Naraka are both here. Some live here so purely: very humble, very kind, very peaceful, doing sādhanā, mantras, meditations, prāṇāyāma, purifying the stomach, giving food to others. You will never beat someone or push someone out. It is very, very important we should know: anger, hate, jealousy—this is called Naraka. So Naraka is here, and Svarga is also here. There are persons who are so good, no one will say that person was terrible. That is Svarga. So Svarga and Naraka are both on this earth. But those who are thinking of and achieving Svarga, after that, will become one with the light, crystal clear. They will come. They will try to purify us. So many, many sādhus, good sādhus, set that guru-paramparā. They are coming and trying to purify us to Svarga-lokas. Now, what is that? Svarga will not come in dirt. Those who are in it come and go, come and go, and that is good. Coming and going is good. We go to the sleeping room, we sleep, we get up, we come out, we work, and again to bed. So we are coming and we are going. Sometimes it is very cold, sometimes hot, sometimes there are mosquitoes. There are many cobras or many, many ticks—very sick ticks that can pull us down. So Naraka is, and Svarga is, both. And that Svarga is still not enough. In Svarga, you are living as if God is in it. Even Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu are not there. They have to come again. So now it was for Viṣṇu. The next will be Śiva. Viṣṇu is Brahmā. They are all the time going, but beyond them is called the Guru. And the Guru, this is not anymore there, but only Skype. Therefore, we say: Guru is the Brahmā, Guru is Viṣṇu, the Gurudeva is the Viṣṇu. Guru, Deva, Maheśvara is Śiva. So Guru is Brahma, Guru is Viṣṇu, Guru is Deva Maheśvara, Guru is Sākṣāt Para Brahma. And therefore, Gurudev is Sākṣāt, meaning for us that we should know it is sure, clear—that is the Parabrahma. Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma. Parabrahma means the highest of the highest. But do not think that I am that one. Maybe Vivek Purī. He should give that judgment, not me. It is not easy, my dear, to become a sannyāsī. Do not take it that I am a yogī. I am in sādhanā. That is nothing. It can be a person who is a family person. Her husband should be that, even if she does not know he is a brāhmaṇa. And his wife is also the divine Brahman. They do not say, "I am Brahman." So there is no difference, whether you are married or not married, whether you are alone or together. This is the dirty cloth. Throw it away. Wash it again. But that inner side, that which was, that it is, and that we are always looking for... You know, there is what we call this in Rudrākṣa Mālā: beautiful Rudrākṣa everywhere—bigger, more, a bit little, small, bigger. But the rare one, Mūk Rudrākṣa, is not easy to get, and when it is really pure and nice, you get it. Now people all know and will take it for thousands and thousands of euros, but it must be... That is Rudrākṣa. So if there is one mukhi, one mukhi, two mukhi, three mukhi, and so on. So Gurujī said, he asked Mahāprabhujī, "What is the one mukhī?" Gurujī said, Mahāprabhujī said to Holī Gurujī, "Ek mukhi. Jedna mukhi." Mukhi means the mouth. Through your own, you have only one mouth. Speak only that truth. Even for happy, good things or bad things, but only the one. Your sādhanā, your practice. You are humble. You are kind. You do not beat your wife. You beat your wife? Throw her away? Many things. Many times the men, or the husband, is so kind. And his wife is outside, and she is nice, but she closed the door. "Take my shoes out," the husband said. "Yes, my dear. Close, take my dress and clean, wash, give me the other dress, cook for me, bring this. Bring the alcohol bottle now. I will drink. I will eat. You work all, my husband." There are some people also, or others, that is not good. So one becomes as a God. Therefore, it is said, Śiva and Śakti. The left part is Śakti and the right part is Śiva. It means you are Śiva, and you are the Pārvatī. Śakti and Śiva. So if there are females here, they are more Śiva, and here so many Śiva’s men, they are more Śakti. So Śakti and Śiva, it is that body—not only body like this, but that energy: peace, harmony, oneness. But who is going there to the Brahmalokas? That Brahmaloka is not easy to get to. All those cauda lokas, and all these cauda lokas again, will go further and further. So, we have to practice. We all, myself also, are here to practice and to come further. We keep ourselves very happy, relaxed, and clean. We give time to sleep. Many people say, "Oh, I will not sleep, I will meditate." One day, two days: "I meditate. I will do prāṇāyāma. I am sleeping. I will come up. I will do yoga nidrā." You think it is yoga nidrā? Oh, it was nice. Oh, when you are in very deep sleep. But I do not want to sleep. That they can. I am getting something. I am sure you will get. What? Mental hospital. Yes? Do you hear or not? Then, say something. Yeah. Yeah, always you must. Otherwise, I do not know you are doing anything. And then I will think that you will go down, you will not go up. Yes, so do not think that a yogī will only sit and only sleep, like this. It is not easy. Many are lost because there are many people who become sannyāsīs because they had too many problems, or they do not want to work, they do not want to serve their parents, and not this, not that. Going somewhere and getting eating somewhere, and going, and that is all. Going to the Himalayas or anywhere, or to some other countries. Only they are very personal, not for spirituality. You know, many you have seen. When you see the Kumbh Melā, many, many, no? So, it is not easy, my dear. Therefore, our sādhanā, our practice, what I have made, is very, very positive and very spiritual and very humble, and we will go step by step on the path of our Gurudeva. It is very positive, very spiritual, very full of humility, and step by step you are walking the path of our Gurus. That is why we are walking now together. Sometimes you guide me. Yes. And sometimes I guide you. Yes. That is very good. So you guide me, you give me good food, you are cooking for me, and I am doing many things for you. We are going together. As long as the last minute comes, then you will say, "Yes, I bow down to you." That will again make me bow down to you, that you have given me support. And my Gurudev. So we have to become very humble and humble and pure and pure. As much as you put gold in the fire, it will become more and more pure. So this is what we have to come to. Yes, and so, this is both here: Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. And every yuga to yuga, they are changing. In the very beginning, it was different, yes. But it is said in some yugas, Śiva and Viṣṇu are serving the Śiva. And then, some come from the other side, that Viṣṇu and Śiva worship Viṣṇu. So you see, this is Śiva and Viṣṇu. But given everything to Brahmā. So if someone asks, "Can you give me this?" He can only give Tilbhara this and this. Or not. Then finally, Viṣṇu will send to Brahmā, and Śiva also gives to Viṣṇu, and Viṣṇu said, "Go to Brahmā. Brahmā is the father." And so the father, Brahmā, finally, people, or this is what we call the devils, etc., and they said, "I want you to give me, please, permanent liberation. I will be ever and ever living as a human, not dying." Viṣṇu said, or Brahmā said, that I cannot give you. You can ask me anything, but not this. I can give you a thousand years’ life, more than a thousand years, or this, or that. But I can give you the complete Brahmā. But Viṣṇu also will say something. Śiva also will say something. But when good yogīs, good sādhus, good brāhmaṇas, they will not tell to Brahmā, "Please give me the complete Brahma-loka." They will say, "Sādhanā, sādhanā, you will go to the liberation." And other negative rākṣasas will say, "Otherwise, I kill you," like this, you know, that many, many times. So, my dear, we begin, let us say, in the evening when we go to sleep. Then, you know, in our night when we go to sleep, we are knowing exactly that we have three different sleeps. One is that you are not sleeping; you are awakened. Jagrata. Awakened. Many times people cannot sleep, so they get some tablets from the doctor. But that is not good. If you sleep, give the sleeping thing. Because that will make your mind, your head, not good. If one day you cannot, and something is okay, but not per day, so mastery and practice, and be good that you are whole day in good health. Even all animals are working. The ants are working. All creatures, the trees are working. This tree is giving nice leaves, giving the flowers, giving the fruits. Again, they come, the bees, etc. So these trees are working day and night. Animals also. Ants also. The mouse, you know. You have such good mice here. Yeah, they are your best friends. So the whole night, they clean everything in your box. Whatever you put down, the mouse comes. That is good. Second is called sleeping. Now we fall asleep. But we cannot fail to sleep. Lucky are those who can sleep very nicely, deep, everything. And third is called svapna, the dreams. And dreams are very long. Memories, but it is also the dream that can, just like this, take out so: jāgrata, awake; svapna, and then the svapna is dream. We are not only humans; animals are also dreaming. Yes? Even your mouse is sometimes also dreaming. So we are between jāgrat, svapna and sleeping. Now we cannot come out of that. And we can master, then maybe we can. Otherwise, someone who tries to do powerful, then you will have mental problems, and that mental will give you many, many tablets. So do not go into mental body and mind, no awakening. Well, so difficult to come out of the jagrat. We are not sleeping, and now we are sleeping, and then we are dreaming, and we are coming. But many dreams can make you very, very negative. Many, many people tell you, "What can I do, please? I cannot sleep, and I am dreaming, and always I am dreaming of negative people and something, this and that. I cannot sleep; I wake up." Again I wake, again come some devils or something. There are some people, you know. And this kind of dreams, or you cannot sleep comfortably, it is because of some kind of food, nourishment, or some troubles with the families or about your business. Many things we have the problem. Therefore, evening before, sing one bhajan, make a prayer. And everything. Maybe their God is not there anymore. But we believe, and that is also yoga practice. After that, we come, you know, what we are doing? We go to the bathroom, and we touch the water. You know how nice it is? So see this, look to your water. This is life. It is jīva. Water is jīva. After, we can see. Or we see our temple or pūjā, then we should have sāttvic bhojan, eating sāttvic. You do āsanas, we are doing, then we come back, we go and drink tea or water or something, and house our trees. When you come home, I am sure many of you will dream this tree, that tree. These trees. All my brothers and sisters here, sitting under these trees. Yes. This is very, it is called healing power. Yes. Here, some person has a mental problem. The mind is a problem. So, come here, relax, sit down, read something, listen to many things. Then you are coming and having a lecture. We are learning something; I am learning from you, and when I give so many lectures, I am getting more and more of my memories. So, therefore, make mantras, sing bhajans; this is memories again. Otherwise, we become peaceful, and we do not talk too much. So, how nice is the program? Then we say, "Please have lunch." Then a little walk. Then we call Yoga Nidrā. Yoga Nidrā. No? This beautiful bhajan, and then after this again you go have chai or something, and then you have dinner or lunch? You have the lunch? Yes. Oh, I think we should quit the lunch. Oh, I did not know that you have lunch always. Oh my God. That is why when you have too much in the stomach, then we become lazy. I see. So we should have every day, we call it, what do they call it? Anuṣṭhāna. Morning we eat breakfast, and good? Evening is practice, afternoon is lunch, and no lunch. And we have for you something the best: good water. And then you will practice very well. Then you come for dinner. And then there is another program, you know what? We have prayers. Again, we have some lecture. So this program is in such a way, so many people who have depression or problems, it is coming to the good things. So, this is a, how do you call it, what do you call it, if someone’s person is a little bit mentally, we can make them again better. Cure. Well, we will cure you, very nice. So this is our program of yoga in daily life. Where I try to give you some time between this and that. And then again, I come to that point. That is very important. So all of Holī Gurujī’s books are written there: Chaudhā, Lohk, Ikkī, Sū, Brahman. So Chaudha, Lohk, Ikki, Su, Brahman. There are so many Brahmins. It is so many Brahmins. My God, how far you go. You will be more happy, more nice, and more clear. There is no operation, no bones, no flesh, no nerves. It is only purity and purity and purity. Such techniques, such sādhanā, we have bhajans and different bhajans. So it is very nice, very beautiful, and I am happy to be with you. I give you also, and you give me also, what? Not a chapati, not an ice cream, or not money, not a "no." But you also, you give me also not the money or this or food or this, but we give that human to human, and to all oneness we are awakening. It comes, the light within ourself. You can see, if you are poor, five months you will not go to yoga. Practice yoga in daily life. If you forget many things, that is it. So, yoga in daily life is awakening every day. Yoga in daily life—yoga in daily life means... Yoga is yoga. Daily means every day. Practicing. So, yoga in daily life. Yoga in daily life, very good. So, my dear, it is already Friday, Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday, then Monday, and today, Monday. Four days, then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That is all. So we have only four good rooms for four days. So please, in this ashram, in this beautiful culture, nature, sleep, you can at home day of times. After eating, come here. Read something, write something. If you are making some very good pictures... For us, heaven is this today, you can say. This ashram is the holy ashram, so it is said. When was yesterday? Which number? And this is a new one, thank you. So we will chant Aum now. Sit all comfortable. Eleven times, you know that this Aum, renouncing everything, comes from the navel, the nabhī, to the brahma mantra. A, A, U, U, M, M, how many? Last is that through both nostrils, coming back again, the resonance. Everybody, loud, from the navel, you know, everybody. And count always with your two fingers, like this: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. So we go like this, okay? So with the hand, every finger has three points. This is going from here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Okay. Deep inhale. A little more loud. After 11 rounds. Then, just listen in your whole, feel your whole body. Listen to the sound of the OM resonance from 1 to 11, chanting this OM from the navel till the sahasrāra chakra. Everything is within ourselves. Do not bring your thoughts outside. This resonance through that mantra of Aum, from the navel to the top of the head, Sahasrāra, when the resonance comes from the navel till Sahasrāra. You have to bring this resonance from the navel. How many chakras? How many stations? There for this one Aum. You have to bring the resonance to the Agñyā Chakra. You come to the Bindu, and from the Bindu again, resonance comes to our nostrils. Again, it goes up and into the Sahasrāra. How many centers are there? This is exactly, again, you have to learn yourself. That is how the resonance goes up and down. Again, it comes to the nostrils. And then again it comes, and the resonance comes, finished there in Sahasrāra chakra. It will take time to come to one rhythm inside. It is like when you play the fingers on the piano, and how it goes up and down, up and from the navel, and there is no movement of the tongue. That is very important. From the navel, it slowly comes to the heart, comes further to the lips, going to the palate, then making the sound, going up to the bindu. From there, again, it comes down, the resonance of the sound, and then it turns again. Up Bindu Chakra, it was before. But from Bindu Chakra, from directly, try to come to the Sahasrāra. It is like a Kriya, but this is a real Aum. It will take you time to learn. So, how is it that Kriya? Now you are tired, but I will tell you. So, the program is finished. Hari Om.
