Good Health and Peace

Yoga is the science of the human being, the culmination of life's evolution. Animals evolve toward humanity, but humans can regress if they do not heed divine instruction. Do not kill other creatures; animals kill from ignorance, but humans know better. God is one, like an ocean of which we are all drops. Science progresses but leads away from God, while yoga leads toward God. The ego resides in the heart and brain; one part is for self, the other for all. A yogi must never give negative talk or do negative things to anyone. Life is a staircase; one goes down through harmful actions, and one goes up through respect and care for all creatures. The soul passes through one door determined by our actions. Protect all life; that is yoga.

"Don't kill them. Protect them, love them, protect them, don't kill them. That is yoga."

"Science is good... but we have to come, please, all animals."

Oṁ rakṣak para brahma tasmai Śrī Guruvē namaḥ. Oṁ śakti, śakti, śakti. Good evening, dear sisters, brothers, all yoga practitioners, and also those who are new and learning about yoga. Yoga is the science of the human being. Humans represent the culmination of life. There are countless different kinds of creatures—Chaurāsī Lakh, so many. In the water, on the earth, within the earth, above the earth—an unbelievable number of living beings. Animals on Earth live, knowing only eating and survival. But they are evolving, walking further and further, coming into what we call humans. How will they proceed to become one with the universe? Then they will not have any other life. But if we humans do not learn and heed what God tells us, then humans will go back again. It is a cycle. Humans know that many beings suffer—animals suffer, humans suffer. God has given to humans, saying, "I give you everything." Everything. You should understand and see that yes, I am human, and I must discern what I can and cannot do. Otherwise, we will go back again. Therefore, do not kill other creatures. Animals may kill because they do not know better. But if humans kill other creatures, you may think you enjoy eating and killing, believing it makes you strong. Perhaps you think killing strengthens you, or that eating meat makes you stronger. Some do not understand God in a bodily form. We believe God exists, but we have not seen; we cannot see. And if there is only one God, well, God is one. We are all one. Consider, for example, the ocean—a vast ocean. How much water is there? Heat rises, and this vapor forms clouds with very fine drops. This fine drop, which we call fog, is also water. It is a life, a very fine drop, yet it is the same as the ocean. There is a big fire burning many things, and even a matchstick is also fire. Yet fire cannot live without water; otherwise, it is gone. In this way, the yogīs understood. There are different kinds of sciences. Over many years, we have gained great knowledge. We know everything: what is good and what is not. Our science progresses further and further. But there is a difference between a yogī and science. Whatever you are learning, scientists speak extensively. We can do much, we will learn a lot, but we will not reach God. Thus far, scientists and all learned people, the more they learn day by day, the further they go from God. Our brain has two hemispheres. Our human science also originates in our brain, but it does not proceed toward what we call God. We act, we become angry. We say, "It's me, it's mine." Some say, "Yes, I am good," but still, it is not the true Self. When you die, it is gone. Then we keep photos or books of that person on the wall. We may gain further knowledge from them. On the other side is what we call a yogī. The practice of yoga, what we are doing, should not be about becoming something like, "I am a man. I did this." No. I can tell you, for 52 years in your country here, for example, among all Europeans, people did not know what yoga is, what a Swami is, what yogīs are. People said, "Oh, you are a, what they call, buddhi, buddhi. Are you a Buddhist?" I said, "Yes," because Buddha is also a Hindu. Buddha's name was another name, but Buddha means knowledge. Buddha means the science—the science of the brain—but that was not his other name. So, it is the same. But people did not understand what a yogī is or what yoga is. When I was in Vienna, people said, "You don't eat meat? You don't eat anything?" I said no, I eat only vegetables and bread. They said, "Why? You can't eat like that. It's like only cows." In Vienna, that was the truth. They asked, "What is a yogī?" And my science of yoga, which you can see now, is that yoga is everywhere. For people, it has become about good health. Through this, our part—the eating habits—what they have said now, during this corona, Yoga in Daily Life, yogīs... maybe one, two, or a few people died; otherwise, no one. And now you see that more and more, our entire yoga and life, not only in Europe but in Australia, America, and many, many countries... they go away, or they are going away. But to truly know yoga, we must practice with prāṇāyāma—the physical body and prāṇāyāma. After that, there are many techniques. For example, I have in my book, The Hidden Power in Humans. There, you have many things, very much, very perfect. There are chakras. These chakras we have are not only this. Somebody made them like this. Each and every petal on these chakras... each petal has something inside. What do you call them? There are how many mantra petals? Each petal has one name. Each and every light, the letter. And each letter has immense power in different parts of the body. If one comes to see this and tries to learn, it will be good, but it can become, "I am the great person." If you have no ego, and you have more love, understanding, carefulness, always seeing other persons to give love to them... There are two in the heart, in our two hemispheres. It will come; it is about 95% ego. And when the ego comes down, it comes more down in the next life. Others have in their brand love, peace, harmony—first give to others, and then we keep it. Don't say only my children. Of course, our children are good. But for a yogī, it doesn't matter—the orange dress, the black dress, the yellow dress, the green dress, anything doesn't matter. We should help. There were 20 people beating one person because he was a thief or something. One man came and told the other people, "Please stop." And he said to others, "Please come," and he took him in his hand. So, someone made a mistake, and we are beating or doing something. If someone were to beat you, what would you think? Therefore, a yogī should never, ever give negative talk or do negative things to anyone. We are many, and we should open our hearts. Otherwise, the ego... There were two brothers who were very close. Both brothers ate together. Whatever they did, both brothers gave half and half. One day, the youngest brother was sitting in his house on the border, in a hut, on the veranda. The elder brother went to bring some fruits. He brought two mangoes. Both brothers had one son each. One mango was a little bigger, and the other was a little smaller. That elder brother was like a father and everything good. He was coming, two mangoes in his hands. When he saw both children, they said, "Uncle, uncle!" Or, "Father, father, mango, please give me mango." The youngest brother was on the bridge. And the children said, "Father, father, uncle, please give him mango, give him mango." The elder brother, in his hand, one mango was a little bigger, and the other was small. "Father, father, give him my mangoes." So, children—on one side was his son, and on the other side was the other son. The left side was the elder, and the right side was the younger brother's son. So he said, "Uncle, uncle, please give me a mango." The children came, and what did he say? "Take it, please." Because the bigger mango was on this side, he gave that side to his son. And he has called it like this. Do you understand? And the other one was looking. "My brother?" And both children, I feel, seem like his sons. "My whole life, my grandfather, my elder father, was always there for everything. But today, for the mango, for his son, and for others..." The youngest brother said, "Morning, great brother. I think we should separate now." "Why? We are brothers." He said, no. "In your brain, something is wrong. The little mango is a little bit bigger, that's all. And you take the bigger one—not bigger, yeah, the big one—for your son. And the little one, you gave to my son. Father, brother, may you open many things like this." So, like this, my brothers, you are all my sisters and you are my brothers, and there are little children also. I will give what I'm talking about to you very equally, and I give you first, and then I should take. I will go and help to bring something. Then it means we will go from one step to another step, step by step, to God. So there are two stairs. One stair is going down, and one is going up. When we respect and take care of animals and everyone—if you believe or not, it is truly right—then God will let you go. We don't know where God is. We don't know the door. But it is said: all creatures, from very tiny mosquitoes and animals to very big humans, all have life. A very tiny water drop and the river also, they all will come to the ocean. So where we will go doesn't matter—Croatians, Slovenians, Germans, Americans, Australians—it doesn't matter. When we die, the soul, the jīvā, they all will go through one door. Which will go to the other side and will go to the other side, that is determined by what we have done now. So don't kill them. No, don't kill. Protect them, love them, protect them, don't kill them. That is yoga. Now, suddenly, people come and say, "So, numbers," they said, "We don't talk about meat and don't talk about alcohol." No. No. Alcohol is alcohol. Alcohol is a very great, very good thing, but it is a medicine. I am so sorry to say, many, many people are suffering because of alcohol. So let us ask—it doesn't matter who we are, which religion, no religion, which countries, no countries, from where you are—but God is only one. Making negative and positive, good person and not good person, what have you done? It cannot be religious or non-religious. In the church, in the temples, in the mosque, and many, many others, there is God on that side, but He knows what we are doing. That is yoga. Then your children, your families, your fathers, all will take you to the Paramātmā, God. In this Yoga in Daily Life, I was here in Czechoslovakia. There was more yoga, but in Austria and Germany there was little yoga. But now there is very much here, very much. So science is good. All that we got, our oxygen and everything, was very good. What did they say? It was very good for our body, for our brain. Everything. But we have to come, please, all animals. Now, you know, for nearly two years and many things, the corona came. And why only corona? Why not animals? It is the third time because God... animals went to God. If you believe or not, I say animals said, "God, please, what can we do? Do something." God said, "I will not do, but you know that they will do from themselves." How many injections? How much suffering? What is the corona that happens, and still we cannot? And Yoga in Daily Life: Bārikhātu Prāṇām and Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. This one, Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma, I tell you for all of you. After one month, tell me how happy you became, how healthy, and many things. It is done like this: you sit, remain a little straight like this. We have index fingers. These two index fingers we will put in our ears, but not like this, not like this. Like this, just like this. It should go with our fingers. Men have long necks, and women do not. So please put this in your ears—don't go too far, but far enough so that you will not hear anything from outside. Do it five times. First, I will do it. Then I will take my hand out. Then I say, did you understand? Yes. Then we do five times. Only me now; you just listen. Like this. The vibration will be in both hemispheres. Many, many diseases will go. When I do like this, the sound should go from here, and it will come to the brain, but to the nose side exactly, the sound should go like this: hůru. If it is moving to the right and left or something, then it means there is a problem with one of the hemispheres. When we do this, you will see everyone: your brothers, your sisters, your mother, your grandmothers, the whole village, the whole country. I am like the sun, and the sun has light for everyone. You will see when you do it yourself, then you tell me or not. Until you will say like that, you will go; it is good. You know, this one broom, you know, in the coming always with flowers... So when she will go, it means it is only take this and take this and take this. If you are a mother, you should take all children as your own. If you have a father, all fathers, take them as your whole fathers, children. Brother is then all brothers. Father is all brothers. Even our heart has two parts. The brain has two parts. Many things. So one is for you, and the other is for all. So, like this, you will feel. Don't bite your teeth. Because someone's teeth are not good, two teeth are gone, then it will be wrong. There are techniques: bite the teeth and then say, "Because yesterday my dentist, the doctor, put me inside before. It was, and my dentist made me perfect, and I was also like this. And when it was a little more, half, it was not good." So, thanks to the doctor. Open, don't bite. But then, always, the breath vibration should go through here. So, five times. Deep inhale. Very good. Thank you. Is it good for your brain? For language? For peace? Balance? Also, you can give it to your husband or your wife, grandfather, grandmother, or children. It cleans everything; it is something where all dirt is gone. But if you are not good to your neighbor, this is never good. Then it is going to negative vibration, but this vibration, it goes to you. So, I know you are many yogīs, some who came for the first time. You should go to yoga practicing, Yoga in Daily Life. When we are here, Śrī Svāmī Madhavānanda World Peace Council is from Austria; we began, and it is everywhere now. It is in the United Nations, and so many yogas are there. We wish you all the best. And our dear Dr. Martin, we thank you very much. And all his friends and all, they were coming, and today organized this with him for three days. That is a grace. And our Dr. Mahānāth Martin of Sugandhpurījī. Thank you very much, Terrible Sugandhpurījī. Thank you very much. And my dear Prem Lata, she was nearly five or six, five or three years from that time she’s with me. Her father, his father, his brother, and us. Thank you, she’s very nice. I bless all of you in the name of our Gurudev Alak Purījī, Devpurījī, and Mahāprabhujī Madhvānandjī from the Himalayas. I will bring you one day to the Himalayas; you must come. And I wish you, my dear sisters and brothers, if any mistake comes, I am sorry. Hari Om.
