A closing address for a Yoga in Daily Life teachers' sādhanā camp.

"Every individual has their own big balloon. This balloon has five layers, which we call the pañca kośas."

"Manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—these are antaḥkaraṇa. And this antaḥkaraṇa is polluted through another three things, three qualities: mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa."

Swami Avatarpuri concludes a week-long training camp for yoga teachers. He emphasizes that spiritual education is a continuous beginning, not an end. He explains core concepts like the five sheaths (pañca kośas), the inner instrument (antaḥkaraṇa), and the three impurities (mala, vikṣepa, āvaraṇa) that affect it. The talk covers the importance of being Guru Mukhī, the nature of selfless (niṣkāma) versus selfish (sākāma) karma, and the threefold sufferings (tri-tāpa). He advises teachers on how to guide students within their own cultural contexts while upholding dharma.

Om sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkha bhāgbhavet, om śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kīche, Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Kīche, Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhvanājī Bhagavān Kīche, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kīche. Good evening and welcome to the blessing of Om Śrī Alak Purāḍhī Siddha Pīṭ Paramparā, our Gurudeva, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurudeva, Dev Purāḍhī. You are very successfully completing this one-week sādhanā camp, especially dedicated to all our dear Yoga in Daily Life teachers. The subject was very good, and thanks to all the teachers who led the panel. Congratulations to all of you. But when something begins, it does not mean the end. It begins and begins and begins. Začátek neznamená konec. Je to začátek a začátek a začátek. This education and light of Mahāprabhujī will pass through further centuries. We all must follow certain things in life and work on them. For Yoga in Daily Life, teachers should have certain knowledge, or the key words, about the inner functions—what is happening within our own phenomenon. Every individual has their own big balloon. This balloon has five layers, which we call the pañca kośas. These are five different bodies. Within that is the jīvātmā. The jīva is very close to the ātmā. This can only be understood by one who is Guru Mukhī. This final achievement on the spiritual path is possible through Guru Kṛpā. Guru Mukhī means one who receives the mantra and then follows the dharma, the principles. That is very important. Man Mukhī is one who does not follow the Guruvākyas, has no mantras. That person is governed by the mind. The mind is never equal; it is changing often. That is why we call it Manmukhī. So, Manmukhī is the slave of the mind, and Gurumukhī is the slave of no one. A Gurumukhī is not a slave of anyone if one follows the path properly. To understand gurubhakti, we need gurubhakti. Our holy book, Līlā Amṛt, is for us that holy book where the Guru Gītā is spoken by Lord Śiva himself. In that way, the Guru Mukhī is safe on the right path and sure to progress. It is important that you understand this duality and explain it to your students. Like a mother of any creature teaches her children from the very beginning—maybe in a family of cats, maybe among birds, maybe in a family of fish or some other animals, or among humans. Without this knowledge, they will have a hard life. This is what education and upbringing are about. Similarly, it is the teaching of the great saints, the great ṛṣis, and that is for us guruvākya. Any master speaks anything; it is not his or her knowledge. It is originated from Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and that is in the Vedas. From the Vedas come the Upaniṣads. From the Upaniṣads come the Purāṇas, and then come many holy books. Many religions exist in the world, and every religion has many branches. Každé náboženství má různé odvětví. But when we look into the depth of every religion, the source of that religion is in Sanātana Dharma, which is the eternal Dharma. Sanātana Dharma is not about some specific master, but the principle and dharma and the rules of the master or guru. So it is said that one who realizes that Brahman becomes oneself as Brahman—Brahmajñāna. We are all searching for Brahmajñāna. This is very important to explain when students come to you for practice. Some like it, some don't. But how to explain it is important. Ale jde o to, jakým způsobem jim to vysvětlíte. I heard from one woman that it often happens when you explain. From that woman, I heard that her husband would like to visit me, to come and see. He came to see me, and the wife said, "No, you can't go to Swāmījī." Why? Because you eat meat, so you cannot come close to my master. I don't know who told this. That is not correct. If you give such instructions, then instead of helping, you misguide them. You cannot expect a small child to read the holy book already. The child is just now born, so it takes time to educate. Therefore, the place and the situation matter. Now we are in Europe. European culture is a very high culture, a great culture, and Europeans have great philosophies, also music, art, many things. It is great. But now, at the beginning of this century, what happened? We don't know from where these wild seedlings came. We don't know from where these wild seedlings came. So in the whole world, there is a culture which doesn't belong to any of our ancient cultures. V celém světě je taková kultura, která vlastně nemá žádné kořeny v žádné starověké kultuře. We are in the Czech Republic. Sme v České republike. So we can check. Takže si to můžeme zkontrolovat. How many Czech people follow the Czech culture? Even they don't know. Ani o tom neví. The Czech never had a genetic culture. Gene. V Čechách nikdy nebyla kultura genů nebo slovenská. The Slovakian culture you see only in the little villages sometimes. The old people, you see, when they are going to church. Now, old culture is walking with a stick, slowly, slowly. How long will it survive? So, in any country, it is very hard to find that people freely and proudly follow the culture. And we are facing many problems because of this. A kvůli tomu čelíme mnoha problémům. We should not misunderstand or disparage culture. We should never criticize any culture if it is truly a culture. Because in this modern culture, I don't know what is a culture. You can say, "Culture tomorrow, going tomorrow." And our culture is now the past culture. So, in every culture, there are particular principles. Unfortunately, they are getting lost. If you go to India, I don't know how many percent follow the culture—so hardly 10%. And year by year, it is just finishing. Like the rainforest, every month, every day, hundreds of hectares of the rainforest are destroyed. We don't know where this culture leads us. So, Yoga in Daily Life teachers, according to their country, language, traditions, and of course their rules, regulations, and laws of their country, you have to harmonize with that. But drinking alcohol and eating meat—there's no culture. That is not a culture. Now this has become what they call a new caste. They call it high society. So if the high society consumes alcohol and meat, they are not high; they are low. Consuming alcohol and meat is not a higher society, but on the contrary, a lower society. This is a high culture. So we have to instruct our students, guide them in that way, and introduce them to the Sanātana Dharma, mantras, kriyās, etc. Another thing that you should know is this key word: antaḥkaraṇa. Antaḥkaraṇa means that which is functioning within us—the inner activities. What you are thinking now, nobody knows. Only you know what you are thinking. Or someone who is also here knows what you are thinking, and that is God. God is always with us, so you can't hide from Him. And if you try to hide, you can't hide from God. So this is the antaḥkaraṇa, the inner functions, which are also creating karma. So antaḥkaraṇa is manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra. These inner functions are manas, citta, buddhi, and ahaṁkāra. Manas is the mind. Mentálně už cokoliv si myslíte, už to se počítá jako karma. Tan, man, bachana, dhana. These are the four ways in which we really create the karma. To jsou čtyři způsoby, kterými vytváříme skutečnou karmu. So this is man. And that is man. Buddhi. Buddhi. Citta. Citta. Ahaṁkāra. Manas je mysl, buddhi je intelekt. Citta je naše vnitřní vědomí. Ahaṁkāra je naše ego. Když má člověk ego a je pyšný, tak řekne třeba, mě to nezajímá. Ale to je velmi špatné, velmi nebezpečné. So manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—these are antaḥkaraṇa. And this antaḥkaraṇa is polluted through another three things, three qualities: mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Mala is impurity. Vikṣepa is the disturbances. First, Vikṣepa is your own thinking on vṛttis, on feelings, on desires, on ambition, on fantasy. This makes you restless, which also creates anger, hate, jealousy, greed. So, Vikṣepa is inner Vikṣepa. It supports the outer vikṣepa. If you have no vikṣepa inside, the outer vikṣepa will not affect you. Tak, ta vnější se vás nebude tolik dotýkat. Když máte světlo, tak se žádná tma nepřiblíží. A pokud tam je světlo, tak máme āvaraṇa. Āvaraṇa znamená něco jako závěs. Taková vrstva temnoty. So there is a nice light outside, but your curtains are closed, you don't see it. So we have inside Ātmajñāna, but there is an āvaraṇa of ignorance. So, manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—these are four antaḥkaraṇas. They are governed or controlled or polluted by three: mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Therefore, the citta vṛtti—that is what Patañjali says: "Atha yogānuśāsanam." Patañjali říká toto. Atha Yoga Anuśāsanam, Yoga začíná kázní. A cvičením a praktikováním yogī můžeme v sobě tu schopnost rozvinout. Čili Atha znamená teď, nikoliv zítra. And don't say to yourself, "Tomorrow I'll go home, and then I'll eat and drink, and then I'll start." Then you'll never succeed. Because that is then already excusing, and that will weaken your willpower. You will never be successful. So when we know, we shall take it immediately. Good things, immediately. Bad or negative, never. That's very important. So in this way, our jīvā is involved. We all have, like, a balloon. My všichni máme, jakoby, takový balón, a to je ten balón pěti vrstev: tělo, výživy, pránické tělo, mentální tělo, intelekt a touhy, Ānanda-maya-kośa. Ānanda-maya-kośa má také Kāraṇa-śarīra. Generally, they call there are three bodies: the physical body, mental body, and subtle body. Subtle body. Astral body. But the Ānandamaya Kośa is joy, pleasure, happiness. If you remember, I spoke about this in our hall about Jīva. Śanī Kṣug, you remember? Just for a second, Śani Kṣug can bring you to many, many problems. Or for a Śani Kṣudh, Anebo to pak musíte splácet po mnoho životů dobrými karmami. Víte, že lidé často dělají ohňostroje, nebo někdy dělají ohňostroje. A ten, kdo to zavádí, tak ti pyrotechnici musí být velmi opatrní. Trvá to dlouho, než se to nachystá. Musí se soustředit, a stojí to spoustu peněz. Než se to vyrobí, pak to přijde do obchodu. Tam taky stojí peníze. A tak v tom jednom výbuchu, there is a lot of work and money involved. There are some which cost you 500 euros. They can design your face inside. And then you make this firework explode in many, many colors. Suddenly your picture appears. You see various colors in the sky, and they assemble into the image of your face. So that is a kind of happiness for a few seconds. Ale kolik peněz jste museli na to utratit? A tak podobně, pro ten kṣaṇik, śuk tím zmizíte. Between many of your spiritual works, Holī Gurujī said, Yoginīs and Yatīs, with great effort, created a beautiful spiritual garden. Ale tato opice mysl je tak krutá, že ve vteřině celou tu zahradu zničila. Hloupá opice mysl. Mnoho let jste pracovali, a najednou přijde nějaká hloupá myšlenka. All is for nothing. You are lost in this life again, through kusaṅga. Through gasshaping, being with such people or inner desires, that kāraṇa śarīra means kāraṇa means the cause. So the cause, the action, the cause, the action and the result, or reaction. Čili ať uděláme cokoliv, tak to má svou příčinu. V příštím semináři pro učitele yogī budou dány tyto konkrétní témata, body. So, I'm looking forward. So, annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, ānandamaya kośa. These are five layers, and finally, ānanda is happiness. Pleasure. Enjoy. But this is what is acting through our intellect, mind, and body. Ale to je to, co se projevuje skrze náš intelekt, mysl a pak tělo. To je třeba vědět. Every being, whether human or animal, we are all victims of three tapas. Tapa means heat. Fire, and that is not visible, but there is a fire. This is called tri-tāpa. If we can free ourselves from tri-tāpas, then you can say ānandoham, ānandoham,... brahmānandoham. Pak bychom si mohli zpívat Ānandoham. Je velice těžké se od těch tří tāpā osvobodit. Ale Holī Gurujī řekl v Bhajanu, to velmi krásně vysvětlil. Paramanandam avichala sukha paramanandam, Śrī-dīpa-nirañjana, Prabhu-dīpa-nirañjana, sabha-dukha. Isi mantra se hove mana mañjana. Isi mantra se Śrī-dīpa-nirañjana sabha-dukha, Prabhu-dīpa-nirañjana sabha-dukha. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī kī Jayā. Tinoī tāp pāp mit jāve. Tapa je tedy horko, horko utrpení, bolest, něco nepříjemného. Pāpa je hřích. Čili kvůli hříchům z tohoto života, nebo z minulých životů, nás tyto tři tāpā trápí a mučí, a není na to lék, jenom tuto mantru byste měli opakovat. Deep Niranjan, Sabduk Banjan Deep Niranjan. That deep is the light, divine light. Deep je božské světlo, které je Niranjan, to znamená bez poskvrnky. Sabadukha banjan, all troubles can be cured. This remedy works for all three tapas. So tīnoy, tap, pāpamit jāve, these three tapas and three sins, or all the sins, Mit jave, deleted. Paramānanda, paramānanda ānandamāyakośa, paramānanda ānandamāyakośa, paramānanda aviccala. Aviccala is mobile. Achal is not movable. So what is a chal? It is not movable. The universe is a child. Did you see that moving? But what are objects? They are all changing. All those objects around are moving, changing. So those little pleasures, those small joys can deprive us of good karma from many days, years, and lifetimes. You have already given it. Jako kdybyste se vzdali, a now you have nothing. I was practicing for so many years. Where is my spirituality? Credit? You gave already. No, I didn't give. Oh yeah, you gave for your sānīk śuk. Therefore, karma yoga, good or bad, must not be bad. We are doing all good karmas. Try to multiply good karmas and let bad karma slowly, slowly delete or go down. So karma is called niṣkām karma and sākām karma. Karma je buď sākām karma nebo niṣkām karma. Sakām karma je sobecká. Když pracujeme pro sebe, pro naši rodinu, když něco očekáváme, každý se snaží postavit si dům. Každý se snaží koupit si byt. Very few people are building temples. Everybody is doing their own house. But if you ask, "Give some money for building the temple," no, we don't have money. So your God should not stand in the forest. Or somewhere, sitting on a rock. But when you need God, then you search for him. You don't find him. Then you search the temple, but there's no temple. So, how many people build the church or temple? This is very interesting, but of course, it's called parivārik dharma. Gṛhastha āśrama dharma, gṛhastha āśrama dharma,... gṛhastha āśrama dharma... Dharma gṛhastha āśrama, dharma gṛhastha āśrama... Dharma gṛhastha āśrama, dharma gṛhastha āśrama,... dharma gṛhastha āśrama... Āśrama dharma, gṛhastha āśrama dharma. Dharma is to give shelter and education to children. There's nothing wrong, but also, God's children, anyone from temple or ashram, what are you giving? So, sākām karma is that kind of karma which is used here already. Nothing goes; there's nothing remaining. Niṣkāma karma, which you dedicated. You gave the donation. Sorry. Whatever you do, don't count. Don't mention. Zmiňujte to. Když dáte nějaký dar, tak pak už na něj nemáte žádné právo. A nemáte ani nárok na to říct, na co se ten dar má použít. A když to dáváte a řeknete, tohle dávám na ten a ten účel, tak pak to je v pořádku. So there is also a way to save your niṣkāma karma, much better than one way. So that's called gupta dhan and pragat dhan. Gupta dhan means without declaring, without anything, you just put it in a donation box. Don't tell anyone. And pragadgan is, of course, you said, Swāmījī, these are 100 euros for the cows. Yes, very good. You've got good karma. It will be counted as selfless. But Swamiji, these 100 euros, instead of cows, he will use for his petrol, for his car. Then he will, Swamiji will have to take this karma on his shoulder. Tak si tu karmu bude muset svāmījī vzít na svá ramena. Proto to, co se dá, to se má dát, ale nevyužívat pro sebe. Vy jste jenom důvěryhodná osoba, která se o to má postarat. To je všechno. So there was one joke between some politicians. The people asked the politicians, "You are taking so much corruption? So much money." They said no. We don't take. But they said, "But we see." You declare the money? Budget? For some project, and only 30% of the money goes there for the project. And 70% disappears. You are taking this money. He said, "No, no, we don't." Then this one politician gave the example. He said that we are sitting here, 70 politicians, including the other officers and workers, and you bring us one kilo of ice cream in hand. So, please, can you give ice cream further? I take ice cream. Friend, you open the ice cream without the bag, and I give it further, another one gives it further. So when the ice cream itself sticks on our hands, what should we do? We didn't want to take anything, so what should we do before it drips on our dress? Better we lick it, so when it goes through so many hands, a kilo of ice cream remains at least half a kilo. So, like the karma sticks to you. Careful. That's more our big responsibility, so niṣkāma karma, sākāma karma. Therefore, the ānandamaya kośa is the causal body. Causal body means body of the cause, which all the time awakens all our needs, desires, ambitions, greed, etc. It constantly awakens our own longings, wishes, cravings, and the like. So these are key words for you, and all the holy scriptures revolve around these key words. Pak přemýšlejte o tom a studujte si o tom: Āḍi Bhautika, Āḍi Daivika and Āḍhyātmika. Āḍi Bhautik, Āḍhyātmik, these three tapas are in your Hidden Powers in Human book, Chakras and Kundalini. Very clearly, nicely described. O těchto tří tapas se píše velmi hezky ve vaší knize Skryté síly v člověku. Tam je to velmi pěkně popsané. The Ādhibhautik fire, Ādhibhautik, oheň toho ādhibhautik, jsou vnější potíže. Možná s někým, může to být s manželkou nebo s manželi, s dětmi, s rodiči, se sousedy, se psy, s komáry, s mouchami, s tygry, se žháři, s veškerými vnějšími bytostmi, které nás mohou nějakým způsobem napadnout. A proto nám Bůh dal buddhi a používejte svou buddhi, abyste sami sebe ochránili. So, let's say in our beautiful garden there are three or four lions or tigers. And oh, beautiful, we are coming from far and looking at them. Making photos nice. Okay. But if you go inside, then they are not beautiful. Tak pak už ta krásný nejsou. Čili postarejte se o ně zdaleka. Zachovejte si bezpečnou vzdálenost. To znamená, buďte na pozoru a buďte opatrní. Říká se toto Vaśikāra. Když chcete mít všechny své přátelé pro sebe, pak se zřekněte tvrdých slov. Don't use the bad words. Then all will be your friends. Be kind, be humble, be helpful. Be generous, be a gentleman, etc. What is the opposite of "gentleman" for a woman? What do you say? So you see that all the loads are on the men, you know. There is, on the last time, when the socialists had one joke. That they give the law, and in the law they say the boss is always right. A v tom zákonu stálo, že šéf má vždy pravdu. A tak někteří lidé, jako vy, říkali: "To je hrozné. To není přijatelné." To je jako diktátorství. Proč je tam jenom jeden, ten šéf? Musí být ještě nějaké další řešení nebo nějaká úleva. Je to jenom jeden paragraf? No, no, we have two paragraphs. No, no, we have two paragraphs. Oh, thanks to Mahāprabhujī. Díky Mahāprabhujī mu. So what says the second paragraph? A co stojí v tom druhém paragrafu? The second paragraph said, when the boss has no rights, use paragraph number one. V druhém paragrafu stojí, když šéf nemá pravdu, platí paragraf číslo jedna. There we are. Always with this, our karmas, our actions, our mind. Ādi Bhautik, Ādi Daivik. The differences are the disturbances from the astral world. So someone asked the question, "What to do with this all-electro smoke?" Like telephones, radios, and televisions. There was no solution. Thanks to Yoga in Daily Life, they found perfect protection, so use bioprotector. Then you are protected from this smoke. That also belongs to the astral world. So many, many disturbances from the astral world. Recently, something happened. There is one couple. About 56 years. Asi padesátiletý nebo šedesátiletý. Velice hezký, mají velký dům. Děti, děti někde pracují venku. A když ten pár spí v ložnici, tak tam mají takový trezor, hezký, kde můžou mít zamčené věci. A tak do toho trezoru uložili peníze, řekneme, 20 tisíc rupií, zamkli. Okna i dveře jsou zamčené. Oba spí. Ráno vstanou. A když otevřou ten trezor, tak je tam jenom 10 tisíc rupií. Polovička peněz zmizela. Well, the husband was thinking of the wife, and the wife was thinking of the husband. But she gave those children. Well, a few months they were experiencing this. Money just disappears. And one is whole night awakened, and the locker is locked. So he came to me and said, "Swāmījī, we have a big problem now. We've put the money in the bank." But something we should have at home, too. I said, "Okay, come with me." And I brought him to one Swāmījī. And he said immediately, "About 120 or 130 kilometers distance." There was a distance between his house and the Swāmījī's. He said, "Okay, you have that corner like this, something." There is, like, this. He taught so many things, which were exactly like he's sitting there, but like he sees everything. I thought it was a hocus-pocus, but I knew he's expert in this. He had a sādhanā, so he taught him to do something very simple. He brought a coconut and he took the coconut, said some mantras, went over the Yajña fire, and came after 20 days. And from that day onward, no single rupee disappears. This is something, no? We should have such a mantra. So we can let it disappear from somewhere. Use it for good things. And then send it back. So there are. So he explained. It is from ancestors. Some of your past ancestors, we call them Pitṛ. You did not do this or that ceremony. He said, "Yes, we didn't." I phoned him last week, and I asked how he is and this. He said, "Yes, Swamiji, now Shanti." I said, "I don't need Shanti." Is your money there or not? He said, "No, Gurudev, nothing is left." Nothing disappears. So this is Ādi Devīk. These are the influences from astral energy, the astral world, what we call the spirit. And Ādhyātmik. Ādhyātmik. Ādhyātmik is also spirituality. But ādhyātmik, these are the disturbances from higher planets. They are also again disturbing between, it's called, some ancestors. So we have to come to our root, to Sanātana Dharma, Vedic culture, and systematically go back to get this energy. So the Vedic Dharma culture said, "Believe in every god. Pray according to where you are. Don't feel disturbed." But you have the responsibility. And this is called the Matṛ Ṛṇa, Pitṛ Ṛṇa, Deva Ṛṇa, Ācārya Ṛṇa, and Ṛṣi Ṛṇa, which I have explained many times. So this is how your yoga teachers were very expert. They did good things. Next, our advanced yoga teachers seminar will be announced, and very beautiful, concrete subjects will be there. And I'm looking forward. Wish you all the best. Great success. Whatever you have heard here, you should learn. Those who go this evening, I wish you a good journey. And those who will go tomorrow, we will have a program again tomorrow. So, you all who have yoga in your life, teachers who have the certificate. And who has the license? They will get the certificate. Those who are the assistant teachers will get it when they pass the yoga in their life teacher training. Tak ho dostanete, až projdete těmi zkouškami na cvičitele yogī v denním životě. Každý učitel yogī v denním životě na celém světě by se měl registrovat u fellowshipu a získat certifikát a zároveň také licenci, abychom zachovali kvalitu. And wherever you teach, once or twice a year, you send a report. And in which way can we help you? Because if you are a lone teacher, there are many people. There are some kinds of confusion in techniques, or perhaps some doubts, uncertainty about the techniques, so our expert teachers, yogīs in daily life, will immediately come and solve the problem. A tak budete mít radost, že budete moct něco dávat světu. To give something, happiness, health, is most beautiful. You know, many people are against medicine, this allopathic medicine. And they say doctors don't pay attention, many doctors are operating only because of money. A říkají, doktoři se o nás vlastně nezajímají a operují jenom protože chtějí peníze a to lékařství vlastně je k ničemu. Ale to není pravda. Když vás něco hodně moc bolí, nebo máte nějakou nehodu, a nebo když vám pak třeba jenom zkusí... and the doctor gives you an injection as a painkiller, yes, it does. So remove the pain, either physically, mentally, or intellectually; it's a great karma. So it doesn't matter what doctors are doing. They are doing good, and they have good karma. And, but they should not give unnecessary painkillers. They don't do that, so I respect allopathic medicine. And I respect the doctors, and a doctor cannot help you. Doctor said, "If you help me, I will help you." Když vy pomůžete mně, já pomůžu vám. To znamená, řiďte se pokyny. A když si vezmete ty léky, tak budete žít pár dní. Když si je nevezmete, umřete. A nebo budete žít pár dní. Ale když berete správné léky a ty vám zabírají na bolesti, tak pak je to správné. Similarly, there is great work in every department of humanity where people are helping others or animals. So, as a yoga and life teacher, you can do great things. And if you are a doctor and doing yoga and a life, meditation and mantras. Mostly all my disciples, those who are doctors and surgeons, before operation, they ask, "Tell Nāhaṁkartā, Prabhudīpakartā." You see, doctors have to concentrate more than you are concentrating in your meditation. The operation is their big meditation. Very alert, very careful. Even tiny, very fine nerves, they have to take care of it. And what do you do in meditation? Tomorrow I will be on the Adriatic coast. No, I will stay one day more. Swami is here. Tillak Pizzeria is very good. Tomorrow I will take ice cream. This is your meditation. And the doctor who is operating, he and his nurse, they are 100% alert. That is different. That's the meditation. That's called cetan. And aware. Similarly, you are a yoga doctor. Then you are teaching pure yoga in daily life. Not that technique we can do today and that we can do tomorrow. Oh, Vivekānanda said this, tomorrow I will tell like that. So you can read and know, but when you teach, then you should concentrate on your own subject. So you can read and know, but when you teach, then you should concentrate on your own subject. If you need to operate on the gallbladder, and the doctor didn't concentrate, and he took out the prostate, or there was an operation for the ear and took away the eye. Never, never. And that's why they're checking many times. It happened in Austria, in Vilach. But after all, doctors are also human. And you are also human. But if you don't dream here and there, and you remain within the frame of yoga and daily life, you will be successful, and you will help all. With this, all the best, and I pray to our Gurudev to bless you with good health and a happy, long life, and that you will give greetings, blessings to your students, and teach very clearly and slowly, slowly, simply. Don't go and sit there and begin to philosophize there, you know. So, not like that. All the best, thank you. Organizers of this ashram. All the karma yogīs who were doing a lot of good sevās. Many friends came from Slovakia to do the karma yoga. Young boys, and they were very great. And now you look how beautiful it is. So you are always welcome. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpanārāyaṇa. Deepanārāyaṇa Bhagavān.
