Om sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkha bhāgbhavet, om śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Deep Nārāyaṇ 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 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. For Yoga in Daily Life, teachers should have certain knowledge, or key words, about the inner functions—what is happening within our own phenomenon. Every individual has their own big balloon, and 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 and has no mantras. That person is governed by the mind. The mind is never equal; it is always changing. 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. Just as a mother of any creature teaches her children from the very beginning, similarly, it is the teaching of the great saints, the great ṛṣis, and that is for us guruvākya. Any master speaks not from his or her own knowledge; it originates 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. 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 will like it, some will not. But how to explain it is important. Once, someone wanted to come see me, and his wife said, "No, you can’t go to Swāmījī." He asked why. She said, "Because you eat meat, so you cannot come close to my master." I do not 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 born, so it takes time to educate. Therefore, consider the place and the situation. Now we are in Europe. European culture is a very high culture, a great culture, and Europeans have great philosophies, also music, art, and many things. It is great. But now, at the beginning of this century, what happened? We do not know from where these wild seedlings came. In the whole world, there is a culture which does not belong to any of our ancient cultures. We are in the Czech Republic. We can check: how many Czech people follow Czech culture? Even they do not know. The Czechs never had a single, unified culture. The Slovakian culture you see only in the little villages sometimes, among the old people going to church. Now, the old culture is walking with a stick, slowly, slowly. How long will it survive? In any country, it is very hard to find people who freely and proudly follow their culture. We are facing many problems because of this. In this modern culture, I do not know what a culture is. You could say, "Culture tomorrow, going tomorrow," and our culture is now the past culture. In every culture, there are particular principles, but unfortunately, they are getting lost. If you go to India, I do not know how many percent follow the culture—perhaps hardly 10%. Year by year, it is just finishing. Like the rainforest, every month, every day, hundreds of hectares are destroyed. We do not know where this culture leads us. So, Yoga in Daily Life teachers, according to your country, language, traditions, and of course the rules, regulations, and laws of your country, you have to harmonize with that. But drinking alcohol and eating meat—that is not a 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 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 cannot hide from Him. If you try to hide, you cannot hide from God. So this is the antaḥkaraṇa, the inner functions, which are also creating karma. Antaḥkaraṇa consists of manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra. These inner functions are manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), citta (consciousness/memory), and ahaṁkāra (ego). Tan, man, bachana, dhana—these are the four ways in which we really create karma. So this is man, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—these are the antaḥkaraṇa. And this antaḥkaraṇa is polluted through another three things, three qualities: mal, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Mal 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 and creates anger, hate, jealousy, and greed. So, Vikṣepa is inner Vikṣepa. It supports the outer vikṣepa. If you have no vikṣepa inside, the outer vikṣepa will not affect you. Then we have āvaraṇa. There is a nice light outside, but if your curtains are closed, you do not see it. So we have inside Ātmajñāna, but there is an āvaraṇa of ignorance. So, manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—these four antaḥkaraṇas are governed, controlled, or polluted by three things: mal, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Therefore, the chitta vṛtti—that is what Patañjali says: "Atha yogānuśāsanam." Patañjali says this. And do not say to yourself, "Tomorrow I’ll go home, and then I’ll eat and drink, and then I’ll start." Then you will never succeed. Because that is already excusing yourself, 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 things, never. That is very important. In this way, our jīva is involved. We all have, like a balloon, five kośas: Annamaya-kośa, Prāṇamaya-kośa, Manomaya-kośa, Vijñānamaya-kośa, and Ānandamaya-kośa. Ānandamaya-kośa is also called Kāraṇa-śarīra. Generally, they say there are three bodies: the physical body, the mental body, and the subtle (astral) body. But the Ānandamaya Kośa is joy, pleasure, happiness. If you remember, I spoke about this in our hall regarding the Jīva. Śanī Kṣug, you remember? Just for a second, Śanī Kṣug can bring you to many, many problems. Or for a Śanī Kṣudh... And in that one explosion, there is a lot of work and money involved. There are some fireworks which cost you 500 euros. They can design your face inside. 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. Between many of your spiritual works, Holī Gurujī said, Yoginīs and Yatīs, with great effort, created a beautiful spiritual garden. All is for nothing. You are lost in this life again, through kusaṅga—through bad company, being with such people or inner desires. That kāraṇa śarīra means kāraṇa, the cause. So the cause, the action, and the result, or reaction. So, annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, ānandamaya kośa. These are five layers, and finally, ānanda is happiness, pleasure, enjoyment. But this is what is acting through our intellect, mind, and body. Every being has fire, and that is not visible, but there is a fire. This is called tri-tāpa. If we can free ourselves from the tri-tāpas, then you can say ānandoham, ānandoham,... brahmānandoham. Then we could sing Ānandoham. 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. Deep Niranjan. That deep is the light, divine light. 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 aviccala. 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 away. As if you have renounced, and now you have nothing. "I was practicing for so many years. Where is my spirituality? My credit?" You gave already. "No, I didn’t give." Oh yes, you gave it for your sānīk śuk. Therefore, karma yoga, good or bad—it 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. Very few people are building temples. Everybody is doing their own house. But if you ask, "Give some money for building the temple," they say, "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 for the temple, but there is no temple. So, how many people build the church or temple? This is very interesting, but of course, it is called parivārik dharma, gṛhastha āśrama dharma. Dharma gṛhastha āśrama... Dharma is to give shelter and education to children. There is 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 is nothing remaining. Niṣkāma karma is that which you dedicated. You gave the donation. Whatever you do, do not count it. Do not mention it. So there is also a way to save your niṣkāma karma, much better than one way. That is called gupta dhan and pragat dhan. Gupta dhan means without declaring, without anything, you just put it in a donation box. Do not tell anyone. And pragat dhan is, of course, when you said, "Swāmījī, these are 100 euros for the cows." Yes, very good. You have got good karma. It will be counted as selfless. But if Swamiji uses these 100 euros, instead of for the cows, for his petrol, for his car, then he, Swamiji, will have to take this karma on his shoulder, for himself. 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 the people said, "But we see it." You declare the money for a 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 an example. He said, "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 the 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 did not 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. Be careful. That is our big responsibility—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. Study about them: Āḍi Bhautika, Āḍi Daivika, and Āḍhyātmika. Ādhibhautik, Ādhyātmik—these three tapas are in your Hidden Powers in Human book, Chakras and Kundalini. Very clearly, nicely described. The Ādhibhautik fire... Let’s say in our beautiful garden there are three or four lions or tigers. Oh, beautiful, we are coming from far and looking at them, making nice photos. Okay. But if you go inside, then they are not beautiful. Vaśikāra. Use gentle words. Do not use 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, from the last time, when the socialists had one joke. They gave the law, and in the law they said the boss is always right. "No, no, we have two paragraphs." Oh, thanks to Mahāprabhujī. So what does the second paragraph say? The second paragraph said, when the boss has no rights, use paragraph number one. 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 all this electro-smog?" Like from telephones, radios, and televisions. There was no solution. Thanks to Yoga in Daily Life, they found perfect protection, so use the bioprotector. Then you are protected from this smog. That also belongs to the astral world. So many, many disturbances come from the astral world. Recently, something happened. There is one couple, about 56 years old. Both sleep, get up in the morning. Well, the husband was thinking of the wife, and the wife was thinking of the husband. But she gave those children. Well, for a few months they were experiencing this: money just disappears. And one is awakened the whole night, 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, as if he sees everything. I thought it was hocus-pocus, but I knew he is an expert in this. He had a sādhanā, so he taught him to do something very simple. He brought a coconut and took it, 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 such things. 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 asked how he is and about 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 Daivik. These are the influences from astral energy, the astral world, what we call the spirit. And Ādhyātmik. Adhī ātmik. Ādhyātmik is also spirituality. But adhī ātmik, these are the disturbances from higher planets. They are also again disturbing between, it is 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. Do not 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 am looking forward. I 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 are Yoga in Daily 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 Daily Life teacher training. 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. To give something—happiness, health—is most beautiful. You know, many people are against medicine, this allopathic medicine. And they say doctors do not pay attention, many doctors are operating only because of money. And the doctor gives you an injection as a painkiller—yes, it does. So to remove the pain, either physically, mentally, or intellectually, is a great karma. So it does not matter what doctors are doing. They are doing good, and they have good karma. But they should not give unnecessary painkillers. They do not do that, so I respect allopathic medicine. And I respect the doctors. A doctor cannot help you alone. The doctor said, "If you help me, I will help you." Similarly, there is great work in every department of humanity where people are helping others or animals. So, as a Yoga in Daily Life teacher, you can do great things. And if you are a doctor and doing Yoga in Daily Life, meditation, and mantras... Mostly all my disciples who are doctors and surgeons, before an 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. They are 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 is the meditation. That is called cetan, awareness. 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. If you need to operate on the gallbladder, and the doctor did not concentrate, and he took out the prostate, or there was an operation for the ear and took away the eye—never, never. And that is why they are checking many times. It happened in Austria, in Villach. But after all, doctors are also human. And you are also human. But if you do not dream here and there, and you remain within the frame of Yoga in 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 and blessings to your students, and teach very clearly and slowly, slowly, simply. Do not go and sit there and begin to philosophize, you know. So, not like that. All the best, thank you. Thank you to the organizers of this ashram. All the karma yogīs who were doing a lot of good sevā. 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.
