Good morning and welcome to all. My apologies; today is a beautiful day. It is the new moon, so it is a new program, with new techniques—everything is new on this new day. I welcome all our spiritual seekers around the world and offer the many blessings of Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Gurujī. For the new moon, someone has already given me a silver medal. The topics are Brahmavidyā (the knowledge of Brahman), Brahmajñāna (the wisdom of Brahman), and being Brahman oneself: ahaṁ brahmāsmī—"I am Brahman." I am this Ātmā, which is Brahma. These are among the four Mahāvākyas of the Vedas. All teachers of yoga in daily life should know this by heart. To become a yoga teacher is not only about knowing how to perform āsanas and prāṇāyāma. That is not enough, and that alone is not yoga. To become a teacher of yoga is more time-consuming and difficult than becoming a doctor, because yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and more. This science of yoga is one of the first to be declared a science, and it was given by Lord Śiva. You must understand that no god belongs to a particular religion. At that time, there were no words for "religion." There was only dharma. There is a difference between religion and dharma. Religion is a man-made thought, of course. These teachings can be given by holy incarnations, which is why I call it man-made religion. The message of Bhagavān Rāma, an incarnation of Viṣṇu, was delivered through a human body, as were the Bhagavad Gītā and other scriptures by Kṛṣṇa. Still, they are man-made. The Bible contains Jesus's words; he was a man. The Quran was spoken by the Prophet Mohammed; it is still man-made. Buddha's teaching is also man-made. Now, all these different gods in the beginning, who are seen as human figures in their respective religions, would not divide. They see everything in oneness. Ale ti by nic takového nerozdělovali. Ti vidí všechno v jednotě. Otherwise, you cannot claim they are divine. Therefore, the universal one, that Brahman, is for everyone. The sun is not shining only because of the starlight we are sitting in; it is a beautiful, warm sun. But it shines everywhere, equally. The sun does not make differences, and neither does God. So, in that time, it was only called dharma. Dharma is different from religion. Dharma means principle. Dharma means obligation. Everyone has their dharma. A tree has its dharma, and these trees are fulfilling it. Water has its dharma, fire has its dharma, birds have their dharma, the seasons—all four seasons—have their dharma, and even the moon and sun have their dharma. The entire earth has its dharma. According to dharma, the earth is working. A mother and father have their dharma towards children, and children have their dharma towards parents, brothers, and sisters. A husband has his dharma towards his wife, and a wife has her dharma towards her husband. When dharma is not protected and respected, then you are not protected. The Vedas say, Dharma rakshita rakshita: "If you protect dharma, dharma will protect you." If a husband does not protect his dharma, then that dharma will not protect him from divorce, where a marriage life breaks down. This dharma exists to balance all the energies on this earth and in the universe. Therefore, you cannot say "my dharma, your dharma, their dharma." You cannot divide it. Všechno je to celé v rámci sanātana dharmy. Sanātana means ancient. Sanātana means universal. In the beginning, there was nothing, only sanātana dharma. Sanatana means relation—that we are all related to that universal one, like every family member in what we call a blood relation. All our friends are our relatives. That friendship is Dharma. It unites us and lets us live in friendliness and happiness. It is Sanātana Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa who said, "Mame vaso jīva loke"—"I live in every entity." In this mortal world, the jīva loka, I am with them all the time. Krishna said it does not matter which way you come or go, which religion, belief, or practice you follow; finally, at the door, I will be there. Now, "Kṛṣṇa" means not only that Kṛṣṇa, but all holy incarnations. You know, your small child we call Bāl Gopāla. Every small child is the embodiment of Kṛṣṇa. Every small child is Rāma. Každe malé dieťatko je Rāma. Chandan hai meri desh ki mithi. Tapo bhūmi har grām hai. Har balā hai devī kī pratimā. Baccharā, bachcha rāma hai. Bachcha, bachcha rāma. Chandan hai meri desh ki mithi. The soil of my birthplace, my land, my country, is like sandalwood for me. I respect Mother Earth. Every village is tapo bhūmi. Tapo means tapasyā, austerity, sādhanā. So in every village, there are people living, many of whom are spiritual people. Kdo jsme my, abychom to odsuzovali, abychom říkali, ve vesnicích nejsou žádní duchovní lidé, a ve městě už teprv ne. Tak si to myslíte, protože jste zaslepeni. Nevidíte je. Ale to znamená, že vy sami nejste duchovní. There is a story: a wrong-side driver and a radio announcement warned, "Be careful, one ghost is coming opposite, driving." A man was driving with his wife beside him and said, "Stupid. What means one ghost? There are so many coming." You see? So who are we to judge someone? Everywhere in the whole world, according to their belief and capacities, people believe they are very great. Ale dělají to nejlepší. Jsme lidé a měli bychom v lidech vidět lidi. A měli bychom se snažit vytvářet vzájemné porozumění a mír. Thus, in every village is a place of austerity. Tapobhūmi we call holy bhūmi, holy land. So where you are born, that is your holy land. Where are you going to search? That is your holy place. Every girl there is the embodiment of the Divine Mother. And all these children, they are God Rāma. Such equal vision. Such divine thoughts. It is for your benefit. That will uplift our consciousness. Therefore, God does not make differences. In God's eyes, we are all equal. When we fight against this or that religion or culture, then our cosmic parents are not happy. Neither Shiva is happy, nor Shakti is happy. Neither Brahmā nor that divine Śakti. So, the science of yoga, Sanātana Dharma, that knowledge was given by Śiva. Svayaṁbhū. So Krishna said, "Mame vaso jīva-loké"—"I live in every entity." Jīva-bhūta-sanātana. All these beings who are composed of the five bhūtas—earth, water, air, etc.—who is living in this? They are my relatives, my sanātana. My light is in them, and that is very important. So, becoming a yoga teacher, you have to overcome all dualities. You have to overcome your greed; then you can become a teacher. Brahmavidyā cannot come to you just like that. But if something is yellow, we say it is yellow. If it's green, we say green. You cannot say this green is yellow. But if you are constantly saying yellow, the other person might go to court. This person is saying the green is yellow. Everything is yellow, and the other one said, "No, it's green." So that man said, "I'm going on holidays. Who said yellow?" And in October or November, there will be a decision. Our aura is always crossing with different energies. How many energies do you have in your body from others? How much energy do you have from dead animals? That we have to clean up. So this is a Brahma Vidyā Kriyā now, which we will see. And we have to check the middle point of our life, where the very beginning of our life is. Your navel is the middle point of the entire universe. Yes, if you want to know where the center point of the universe is, it is in your navel. And how high is the sky from here? What is the height of the sky? You are a Brahmagyānī; you must know. You might say, "I will fly into the universe. Look at my flying," but I can only fly if you raise up the sky a little to see my flying. So how high is the sky? I still haven't given you the answer. The sky is as high as your body's height. That's all. The sky begins there. If you are 170 cm, 180 cm, or 190 cm, that is the height of the sky for you. For this tree, it is about 40 meters. Similarly, the center of the universe is at the navel. And who are you? I am the Brahman. So knowledge comes through our way of living and how we are teaching. Then Brahmagyāna will come quickly. So we shall check our navel today. This Kriya is a powerful Kriya. I will take a little more of your time today because I came twenty minutes late. I had wonderful, beautiful people there; they received mantra dīkṣā, and they hypnotized me, so I was relaxed sitting there. You know, sometimes the master is also only the master. So thank you. The evening will be the webcast, and I wish you a very nice time, my dear ones. To become a yoga and daily life teacher means to become a Brahmagyānī, a ṛṣi. It is a quality, and quality does not need compromise. Bless you all. Hari Om.
