Welcome and good morning to everybody. Again, we have a beautiful day. Today is Tuesday, a very powerful day. It is dedicated to Hanumānjī—the strength, the intellect, and the protector belonging to the planet Mars, Maṅgalgrah. The bhajan was very nice, and the food was good. Thank you very much. And we thank our Vivek Purī and Ānandī that they have made from all bhajans one bhajan book. You don't have to collect one paper, another paper, another paper. But I wish you have all this book that has become more holy. Can you imagine how many times we are looking in the book? That is your Sādhanā book. Very important. Keep it with respect, so that your great-grandchildren will read this book for my grandmother. Even your great-grandfather could say that this book belonged to my great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Everything you touch, you never know if you will touch it again. We pass away, so it will remain only a memory in this. We will be very happy if this katorī or this cup, maybe one day Mahāprabhujī drank from. We don't have that, so everything becomes very, very, very valuable. There are spiritual and emotional feelings. Emotional means good memory, devotion. Maybe the flower vase you said is from my grandmother's grandmother. It has some memory, some feeling. Because that time they didn't have this system, what we call use and throw. And to throw was very expensive. Even they threw that time; archaeologists are searching for them. Even the small pieces, they bring together. No one will search these plastic glasses with you. Plastic glasses, no one will ask for them. Thank you. Well, this morning we have two programs. One is to further understand the path to Brahmavidyā. And second will be the practice—the technique, and this one I will explain, and of course this is on the webcast. You know that in the Līlā Amṛt there is a beautiful bhajan. Mahāprabhujī's teachings are in bhajans. The articles are written; you can change them. But poetry and song you cannot change. That's why it's always written in the poetry. Otherwise, every edition can be different. Only Gurujī writes something, and I think it's not good. We should have a little bit more modern thinking. And then you are changing completely, because your Croatian is not good. And they are changing into German. They say, well, this is a Czech Yugoslavian part. Partizan. Partizan. And we think differently, so there is suffering. Many mentalities, many different cultures, so it ends, remains nothing. Lost, a lot lost. There is one famous biography of someone. And when he wrote it, it was about 250 pages. And it was explained a lot about the Upanishads and Vedas. And that has been reprinted several times. In many languages, and it has become 1500 pages. Similarly, the Bhagavad Gītā, written purely in Sanskrit and in poetry, is many thousands of years old. Now, it is translated into almost every human language in the world. Many scholars, many experts, many religious people, they translated. They gave the commentary, but no one could even try to change one alphabet. But no one has tried to change even one word. If you change even one word in that poetic part, everything will be out of balance. If you want to understand the Bhagavad Gītā, learn Sanskrit. By the way, my comment is different. Ganeśvara has a different comment. Vivekpura has his own commentary. So, writing can always be changed, but fixed poetry cannot be changed. And if it is changed, the experts will say, "No, this is imitation." So, also photos, pictures, you can do many things in the, what's called, Photoshop. But the experts will say, "Well, it's not original." Therefore, the songs, bhajans, and poetry are not changeable. That is the best thing to preserve your intellectual property. And around the world, all kinds of property are protected; there is a law. And especially now, intellectual property is very strictly protected. Maybe the painting, music, singing, or writing. So, that time they knew how to preserve. Perfectly preserve. If we try to preserve something, for example, your plums, after a while it becomes alcohol. But their preserving doesn't become alcohol. It remains as fresh as it is. So, to enjoy the wisdom, the knowledge, that is called our reading, spiritual poetry, or what is your subject, that one. You know, there is, I think, a saying, or there is a book, I don't know the name, it's called Reader's Digest. Reader's Digest. Yes, when you read something, you understand and you digest. Otherwise, you vomit. Good food you eat, your body digests. When you eat good food, then your body will digest it well. If the food is not good, then we are sick of it. Bhajans are songs in which saints, no matter from which country and which religion, they have preserved it in the form of poetry, and then they know it as a source. They can also be just slogans. Now, everyone can write something in their book, and write your name down. Be the change you want to see. But the whole world knows it is Gandhījī's. So you must say that Mahātma Gāndhī said this. Then you can write. But if you think it is yours, people will smile a little bit at you. Similarly, yesterday I spoke about yoga in daily life. It has an intellectual copyright, and that's why we have the license system, and it is controlled, but still many people are manipulating and compromising. Few of them are sitting here also. They are not satisfied with Katha Pranam, so they want to make one hand dancing, standing on one hand, one hand like this, the next like that, and turning. And then the orthopedic surgeon earns good money. So, it means you were not able to digest. We don't need quantity, we need quality. But what to say? They are doing, and we are very gentle. But honesty is required. One day, about eleven o'clock, eleven, twelve, some group of sādhus came. Ten, maybe five, six, or ten sādhus. There was a time people had to walk. Either horse or camel, or ox cart, or walking. Surprisingly, there were no petrol stations. Nowhere, but there were milk and oil and ghee stores. Very good. By the way, the sādhus came to the Kathu ashram. They wanted to have darśan and discussions with Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī. Many of you have seen Mahāprabhujī's room. It's about 8 to 15 square meters. But not 15. One small window and door, no door to be closed. And one grass hut outside, where only Gurujī was living. That's all. Cooking, open fire, outside. Everything was lying outside, perfectly laid. But now, the situation has changed. So, they came and they asked for Mahāprabhujī. So, some Bhakta said Mahāprabhujī is resting. Well, they were waiting, and they were talking to each other. What kind of sādhu is Mahāprabhujī? Sleeping daytime, that's not the nature of a yogī. Neither is Swami. How? One o'clock, midnight, day, sleeping? Should we go? We don't want to see such a person. Others said, "Well, we came anyway." They were sitting under a small tree. It's written in Līlā Amṛt. So it means sādhus should not sleep at lunchtime. But my sādhus, they are old. What can I do? If I tell them, they say, "Now it's a different time." It's Kali Yuga. But by the yogic principles, do not sleep at sunrise time, do not sleep at sunset time, and do not sleep during the day. In Brahmamuhūrta morning, they say in German, they say morning hour means you have God in the mouth. In Brahmamūrti, in Svitanje, in the German language, it is said that in that time when you are awake, you have gold in your mouth. And in spirituality, it is the most beautiful and the right time to awaken spirituality. Often, Holy Gurujī said, those who have more sin from last life, they like sweet, sweet morning dawn and sunrise time. And those who had good luck automatically wake somewhere. And it is said, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." But my sādhu said, "Yes, we go very early, sleeping from 1:30 or 2 o'clock in the morning." My sadhu said, "Yes, we go to sleep very early, around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning." In the evening, sunset time is a prayer. In the evening, during sunset time, it is a prayer. In the morning also, also in the morning it is a prayer. Sleeping at the sunset time develops āsurīśakti, the satanic power. Rākṣasas, as soon as they were born, at the sunset time, when they were the Dviṣi, whose father of the Devas, also father of the Asuras. Rākṣasas were born in that period of time, and their father was also the father of divinity. So, avoid all kinds of karmas this time. And by the spiritual and yogic law, it is not suggested for humans to have morning, sunrise time, and sunset time sex. And according to yogic principles, it is also not good to have sexual relations at that time of sunrise and sunset. If you have a relationship in the evening, then your own child will be unfriendly to you. So, these are your own mistakes. You have lost your human principles. Everything has its time; otherwise, your generation will not be good. They will blame the parents. They will be trouble for the parents. They will shout at the parents. They will even beat the parents. Away from the parents and always will blame them negatively. So it depends on you, my dear. You should get many, many children, not only one or two. One or two is too little for me. I have so many chocolates, and I am wondering the whole day. And after the whole day, I still have a lot of moustache. All for my children. But you eat, what should I do? So, because you are a spirit child. That's the clapper. It closes the nostrils. And that's why you do the... and that is why those sounds are produced, but that is not sleeping. So this bhajan of Mahāprabhujī is about Yoga Nidrā, and within it is that Brahma Kriyā. Because the consciousness of the yogī at that time is in the Brahma Randhra, Brahmarandhra, which is the tenth door, the chakra on the top of the head. Sahasrāra chakra. Sahasrāra means thousand. The thousand-petaled lotus represents the sun. The Sun is the door to Brahma Loka or Satya Loka. So there is Yog Nidrā practice. Yogīs' practice is very different. It is said we can't see with our eyes the plant is growing. But in the morning, we are surprised that one leaf came out. It has very slow motion, but we don't see it. We don't see that the sun is moving. But our planet, our Earth, is moving. But we are saying the sun rises and the sun sets. But we don't see. We don't see the movement, but it is going. Sūraj ko chalta na dekhā, bhaṭṭī dekī na vel, yogī ko bhasatā na dekhā, yehī kuḍratī khel. I don't know who said it. It's not mine. So yogī ko bhastha nahī dekha, I didn't see some yogī who is practicing, but kī dekhi nahī bheel, didn't see that the vine, the plant is growing like this. He did not see the yogi walking, but he did not see the sun moving. This is the game of nature. So, yogīs, 24 hours their consciousness is involved with the brahmarāgya. The extrovert and introvert are balanced. We are either introverted or extroverted. So, many things are like this. So, it means for you now, is not this, that now you don't practice. Because I said, yogīs don't practice. Yes, yogīs don't practice. But you are not a yogī. We are all still students. I don't see myself as a yogī or a guru or anything. I see myself simply as a servant of all and Mahāprabhujī's servant. On the day when I will think I am the master, it will be difficult for me. Ok, so Mahāprabhujī set up and answered him. Because you have read in the Līlāmṛt, anyone who came to Mahāprabhujī, Mahāprabhujī knew from where you come, what is your name, and for what you came. What is your wish? He will greet you with a name and tell you immediately, "You have this and this problem," and that will be solved there and then. Eat and go. And they didn't speak anything, because everything is given. Perfect mauna. So Mahāprabhujī was sitting like this. Only one. One God. Only one word. Don't tell me. Because I know. Keep silent. This mudra has many, many meanings. So Guruji, Mahāprabhujī sang the bhajan "Yogī Jānāti Yog Nidrā," and the sādhus understood. And they said, "Sorry, Gurudev, we were really thinking like this." Mahāprabhujī said, "Mind and intellect are given for thinking." So, good you are thinking, but now you should think differently. So, they learned a lot from Mahāprabhujī. So, Bhajan said, and I want to, not want to take Vivek Purī's happiness, he wanted to declare you and Ānandī, they wanted to, how to say, inaugurate the book, but I can make it. I will tell him, "My joy is his joy." So, that's why I show you, no? This is a bhajan book, and here are all bhajans nicely written. Thank you. The sleep of the yogī is the yog nidrā. Rare scientists know about it. In that sleep, he is awakened. So when you practice Yoga Nidra, you are neither in sleep, nor are you awakened. You are one, alert with your consciousness. But the physical system is getting all kinds of energy and getting rid of all toxins. So it replaces more than sleep. Normally, we have three states of consciousness. Unconscious, subconscious, conscious. Suṣupta, Svapna, Jāgrat. Sushupta is sleeping, Swapna is dream, and Jagrat is awakening. In these 24 hours, we are traveling, pendling through these three levels of consciousness. You can say it another way: Jagrat, Suṣupti, and Svapna. Awake, sleeping, and dreaming. Now, in this Brahma Kriyā, you have to master this one process. When you go to lie down to make a yog nidrā or sleep, whatever you call it now, you should know exactly the second. When your consciousness is changing from awake to sleep. How did it transfer? That's very important. Don't miss it. Otherwise, on this side or that side, you are on. So, before going to sleep, you have to observe when the door is closing. From sleep, from awake to sleep, how smoothly, how automatically, how without any pain, without any fear, the consciousness is changing. Now you are sleeping. When and how and why? That consciousness is changing to dream. It doesn't disturb your sleep. You are sleeping. The body is sleeping, and suddenly someone gets up in you. Astral body, and begins to dream. In one room, ten people are sleeping. All ten are dreaming, but not the same dream. That already is a very clear picture, that everyone has different desires, different karma, different destiny, different relations, because in the dream you cannot lie. Dreams will show your reality, because their intellect, that clever intellect, is asleep. That is unconscious, but your pure consciousness is there, and you go with the astral body. So, with the physical body we can do karma, with the mental body we can do karma, with the intellect we can do karma. And with our position and wealth, we can do the karma. But only when you are awake. If you are unconscious, meaning in sleep, then you are out of the action of the karma. There is only one karma. That is the sleep of ignorance. Therefore, human time is lost in sleep and gossiping. At night you sleep, and in the daytime you are gossiping. Where is your time for doing some good things, prayers, meditation, and what? So why is one less spoken and more objects and things? These are not, I am not saying, it is said by wise people and by yogīs. If I will say, I will say, "I will go to sleep, enjoy, drive your car, and bye bye." Within me are those same circles, not Maheshwaran and this circle. So, what they say, and what they are saying, Holī Gurujī said, once he made in Haridwar, when Swamī, he made a prayer for Swamī Haridwar, and Haridwar was also afternoon resting. He said to Guruji, "Oh, I am tired, I will sleep before." Gurujī said, "No problem." But you know, Ānākaranājī, this jīvā, this soul, slept in so many lives. Lost in sleep, that human life is given to be awakened. Harigarha in this smile, and he told me, from that day on, he quit his afternoon rest. And whenever he had to lie down, he said, "I see the holy Gurujī." And he gets up again. That's perfect treatment. So, but when we go from sleep to dream, the dream shows your reality. Dreams are not given by anyone. They are your relations. Mother, father, friend, husband, wife. Mother, friends, partners, children, dog, cat, horse. When I was a 10-12 year old boy, I had a horse that I loved very much, and I still dream about it today. I loved her like a mother. That's another story. Personal relation, friendly relation, even with our animals, our pets. Sometimes, even with your car, you dream from your first car. Many things happen, my dear, but that is your reality. Not mine and not theirs. So you see people with whom you had all the impressions. You walk into the forest and you see this small snake. Now you sleep, and the small snake comes as the biggest snake. So, this is what you see on the television, some films about horrors, etc. Children are afraid. So, what vision and sound give us is an immense amount of experiences. Sound and vision are very powerful. And that's why in modern management they are saying PowerPoint. PowerPoint is short, one sentence, and some vision. And that we have seen many times. Such sentences we have heard many times. But it doesn't go to our mind. But suddenly we see, oh, PowerPoint. And then we say, yes, that's clear. So this all goes to our subconsciousness. And the level of our subconsciousness is a dream. And that comes your reality, feelings. And the physical body is perfectly relaxed. Breath is going perfectly, and waking up very quickly has a way back to the physical body. You are dreaming about being in Zagreb, sitting in a coffee house and gossiping. The physical body is dreaming or sleeping, and the astral body is gossiping. But what happens? One mosquito bites you. Immediately you wake up, at which speed did you come from Zagreb to here? You are awakened. Oh, there is no cup of coffee. Nobody is sitting with me: X, Y, Z. So, again you wake up. Can you see the revising of your subconsciousness into the body consciousness from dream? And from sleep to the conscious, etc., etc. Nowadays, people have so many problems, mental problems. So they give them some tablets. Tablets are only tranquilizers. Mostly it makes you slow, that you sleep more and let pass the time. But yoga nidrā, yoga practice, and the company of good people is the best treatment. And the society of good people, that is the best treatment. Those who understand you, like we spoke yesterday about the relations: Dharma, Dhīraja, Mitra, or Nārī. These four principles, you can't look inside. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī is golden, preaching with his head. Don't tell your feelings or your personal things unless you know the person, and know the person means not only physically, the honesty of the person, how honest it is, how clear it is, and really this person sees you as yourself. Otherwise, you can tell, very soon you will be in trouble. Because nowadays people have so much fast food. And your problems disturb the fast food also, and then your problems take away that fast food, so they can't digest it, either diarrhea or recovery. Therefore, it doesn't matter how many times one promises you, you still don't know the person. I experienced many. I asked before giving them kriyā. Many questions I put in. When they took the mantra, they said the Saṅkalpa, "I will follow my master," etc. You know all that. And where are they? It means they did not understand. The bird came and sat on the tree and flew away. And what is left behind? On the tree? The dirt. Therefore, these three levels of consciousness are very important to overcome. So, Yoga Nidra is that you can still heal. You purify your consciousness. Without this, if you tell one word, then they will multiply it. You know, you are cooking sometimes lasagna. Eat the potatoes. But how many things do you put on it and in it? Then it becomes tasteful. There are people who are experts in cooking. Like this, they are experts in gossiping, talking, and manipulating. They are not manipulating, they are not talking, but they are destroying you. Therefore, Gandhījī's principle was one, two, and three. That's it. Creator, protector, and destroyer. So, Yoga Nidra leads us to that Brahmavidyā Kriyā. And now we will practice. Tomorrow, from today up to tomorrow, we will translate again. So, time for practice. It's a beautiful... Why did I explain to you for so long? Because you have to understand, how many years have you been reading the holy book? But still, you don't understand, so you have to be translated, translated. There is the essence of the Vedas. Holy Gurujī Himself said this in His last lecture. These bhajans, which you are singing from Mahāprabhujī, these are the Vedic Vākyas. These are the words from the Vedas.
