Welcome, all of you, to our beautiful āśram in Bratislava, in the Slovak Republic. I welcome dear brothers and sisters, practitioners of yoga and life. We will continue our meditation and also speak about meditation. I will stay in Slovakia until Tuesday, so we will have two more evenings for meditation, on Monday and Tuesday. The time will most probably be 9 p.m. according to Middle European time—that is, the time of Slovakia, Austria, or Paris. Many of you were with us this morning via webcast, where I explained different kinds of meditation. The first is passive meditation, as practiced in ashrams and monasteries by those who dedicate their life to spiritual achievement. The second is active or creative meditation. This creative meditation has two aspects. The first is when you sit to realize your dharma, your duty, or to contemplate how to be successful in business, farming, family, or spiritual life. Through meditation, you search for solutions and receive inner answers and intuition. The second aspect of creative meditation is artistic work—painting, sculpture, designing, singing, playing an instrument—and also your everyday work when you fulfill your duty while creating something beautiful. You work not only for money but to give satisfaction to the world and others. In the past, people worked not just because they were paid, but because their self was happy and they made others happy. They had work in their hands and the name of God in their mind and mouth. They worked creatively, not by the clock. Many people wish to know how to meditate. What is meditation? For those new to the webcast, I will give simple examples and an easy way to begin. Meditation means to be one with thyself. All day you work and are extroverted, with many thoughts and activities, leaving little connection or awareness of yourself. It is vital to know and have a relationship with yourself. If you only work, you can become stressed and depressed, growing distant from your real self. Meditation re-establishes that real relationship with yourself—with your body, mind, intellect, consciousness, and soul. When all come into harmony, there is no stress and you are happy. A family life can only be successful if there is harmony. Parents should have time for children, and partners should have time daily to speak about their life situation, feelings, problems, and thoughts. Spending two or three hours together each day prevents problems and divorce. This is part of our life. Then you will have no tensions or aggression; you will be relaxed and happy. Firstly, meditation means establishing a connection with thyself. Secondly, it means establishing a harmonious relationship with society—your family, friends, colleagues, relatives, and neighbors. Then there will be no fear in you; you will feel you belong to this society and this world. It is very important to feel: I care about others, and others care about me. Immediately, you feel protected and loved by all. There is no feeling of loneliness. This is the beauty of life, a comfortable and happy life. Therefore, creative meditation also means establishing harmonious relations and being ready to help others in need, giving them your attention. Then comes the next level of meditation. You sit and think: What is the purpose of my life? Why did God give me this life? Why was I born as a human? Merely to have children, work, eat, and sleep—animals can do that too. So, what is my purpose? For this, you close your eyes and think. We should sometimes close our eyes and dive within ourselves in passive meditation. Or you do active meditation to find the answer: you go for a walk in the forest, park, along the beach, river, or lake. In a beautiful landscape, looking and sitting, nature talks to you. Everything you see answers your question: "What is the purpose of my life?" It reveals your dharma towards family, society, other creatures, and nature. Immediately, you establish a harmonious relationship with all of nature. After this comes the next step of meditation: Who am I? Or, what am I? Am I this body? If I am only this body, why is it getting older? And why do I say "my body"? Why not "I am body"? So, you are not the body. You are not the thoughts, nor the intellect, nor emotions. Then what are you? For this inquiry, you can use both passive and active meditation. In active meditation, while working, you see your body as only an instrument. There is a different power working through it. In passive meditation, asking "Who am I?", you observe the changes in your body, mind, and emotions since birth, while your real self has not changed. What is that? For this, you close your eyes and sit. You can meditate in a monastery, ashram, yoga center, church, any holy place, a park, garden, or at home. First, research and establish a harmonious relationship with your body, mind, emotions, intellect, and the surrounding world. Now we will meditate, taking the first simple steps. You can join me, dear brothers and sisters, even from a distance. As I explained yesterday, a mantra or mālā is very important for meditation. You receive a mantra from the Master. But if you have no mantra and have not yet met a Master, you can practice for the time being with: OM SO HAM, OM SO HAM, OM SO HAM. OM is the cosmic resonance. "So" means "that"—the supreme, the highest. "Ham" means "I," myself. "I am that, that I am." Repeat your mantra and sit comfortably. Make yourself comfortable wherever you are, close your eyes, keep your body straight and upright, and just relax. Feel yourself in this world and feel the harmony in the world. This world is our temporary home, and we are living with a big family of all creatures, and with nature—trees, rivers, lakes, oceans. Feel that the whole world, the entire planet, loves you, and you love it too. It is like a big lake full of beautiful lotus flowers of different colors. Among them, you are one of those lotuses. Relax, just relax. Now, become aware of the place where you are sitting—in this hall, or at home. Feel happy and harmonious in that place. Now feel your body. Your body is relaxed and comfortable. If you feel discomfort, please adjust. Repeat your mantra mentally with your mālā. Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes. Say mentally to yourself: "Relax, my friend." Relax just for now. Now bring your attention to the breath. You know that you are inhaling, and you know that you are exhaling. Just let it flow naturally. Only become aware that you know you are inhaling and exhaling. Breath awareness. You know that you are inhaling, and you know that you are exhaling. Now, pay attention to your thoughts. Do not control them, just observe. Observe. What are you thinking? Just see what kind of thoughts they are. Now, ask yourself: What am I thinking? Are you not surprised? What are you thinking? Is this your nature? Is that your subject? What relation do you have with those thoughts you are having now? Relax. What am I thinking? What did I think? What am I thinking, and what did I think? Why was I thinking like that? Why am I thinking like this? What are the causes of my thoughts? See the reality of your thoughts in form and colors. Check, double-check: Would I like to think like that? What should I think? Why do I think? Analyze your thoughts without refusing them. What did I think? Why did I think? What do I think? Why am I thinking? What should I think? Why should I think? If the thoughts are not in your interest, reduce them. If these thoughts do not interest you, try to eliminate them a little. If they are very important, try to analyze and realize them. For a few minutes now, we can practice this. Come back to your breath. Feel your breath, knowing you are inhaling and exhaling. Feel your body, relaxed and comfortable. We will chant Aum three times. While chanting Aum, try to become extroverted. Take a deep inhale. Rub your palms together, place them on your face, rub your eyelids and face muscles to warm them, and open your eyes. Bend forward, touch your forehead to the ground, and feel the stretching in your back and neck muscles. Feel the blood circulation increasing towards your head and face, which is good for your eyes, nose, and ears. Feel the stretching of the back muscles. Place your palms on the ground and, with the help of your hands, slowly come up. We will continue the meditation tomorrow, and the timetable will be announced to you, dear brothers and sisters. I wish you all the best. Good night. Or, in other parts of the world, good morning. Have a good day.
