Part 1: A Meditation Workshop on Self-Inquiry Thank you, Sui, for your kind words. Sui is from the United Nations, a special department. What is it for? From the Division for… and now I am the President of the United Nations Women’s Guild. The Women’s Guild—it would be good if they practiced yoga. Yes, I do meditation every evening. With them? Yes. Very good. Thank you. The microphones are too far from me, psychologically. Either have no microphones or have them on the proper side. I’m sorry, boys, to disturb your decorations. Because when you put a microphone in front of someone, one tries to go near it. That’s it. And if it doesn’t function, then remove it. Do you agree with me? Thank you. They are in harmony. Okay. Yes, sometimes they don’t like each other. I will begin with chanting some mantras in the Sanskrit language. I will, of course, translate afterward. These mantras come from the Vedas. The Vedas are the most, or one of the first, scriptures which exist among humans. The knowledge of the Vedas was bestowed to disciples always verbally, and the disciples gave it further to their disciples. In written form, the Vedas are about 7,000 years old. They are in the Sanskrit language. "Vedas" means knowledge—knowledge of the entire universe. Out of the Vedas come the Upanishads. "Upa" means near, and "ṣad" means a disciple. The disciple is sitting near the master and listening to the wisdom, or you may say the gospel of the Master. In these scriptures, there is no mention of any particular God in form. Only the universal One, only one God, which has no form, no names. We humans give the name. After that, many holy saints incarnate, and some of their teachings we humans accept, and we call it religion. Religion means relation—the relation of the individual soul to the cosmic one. The mission of human life is to realize oneness with our origin, because that is our relation. Realize your relation becomes religion. That is called a universal religion, which does not speak about a particular embodiment of the God-principles. It speaks about the nature and the universe, and it teaches us to lead a life in harmony with nature. The Vedas said, "Do not go against nature, otherwise you will suffer the consequences." And the Vedas say, "Yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe"—what exists in the endless universe, that principle, or that all, exists in the human body. What is not in your body is not in the universe. We will come further to this subject. In India, when we begin any kind of activity, first we chant some mantras, or you can say some prayers, to invite the divine or to purify the negative energy and create positive energy. So, the words which I will chant: Oṁ Asato mā sad gamaya. (Lead us from unreality to reality.) Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. (Lead us from darkness to light.) Mṛtyor mā amṛtaṁ gamaya. (Lead us from mortality to immortality.) Oṁ Śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ. (Peace, peace, peace.) Sarveṣāṁ svastir bhavatu. (Health should be everywhere.) Sarveṣāṁ śāntir bhavatu. (Peace should be everywhere.) Sarveṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ bhavatu. (Harmony and happiness should be everywhere.) Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu. (May all see auspiciousness.) Mā kaścid duḥkha bhāg bhavet. (May none suffer sorrow.) Oṁ Pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate. (That is complete, this is complete. From completeness, completeness proceeds.) Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. (Taking completeness from completeness, completeness alone remains.) Oṁ Śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ. (Peace, peace, peace.) Sarve sam pūrṇam bhavatu. (May all of us realize completeness.) Sarve janaḥ sukhino bhavantu. (May the whole world be happy.) Oṁ Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam. Urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt. (Merciful Lord, bless me with good health, happiness, and harmony, that I enjoy a healthy long life. When my days are over, may you bless me that I am liberated from this body, like a dry fruit separates from its origin, may I realize immortality.) Lord, I am not the doer. You are the doer. In my senses, in my thoughts, in my feelings. It’s you, my Lord. O Mahāprabhū Dīpa, only you and only you are doing through me in this world. Please guide me to the right path. Peace, peace, peace in all the three worlds. This was the peace mantra. It has a very beautiful, very positive, very strong influence, not only on humans, but on the entire atmosphere, water, fire, earth, air, and space—all these five elements, as well as vegetation, animals, and humans. Our subject this evening is self-inquiry meditation. Is that clear, or different? You should give me some job, some duty. Am I a plumber or an electrician, or what am I now? Okay, dobra. So, self-inquiry. This morning we spoke about inquiries. Inquiries means many things. Also, the police come into your home to make some inquiries, or you go to the railway station and ask, making inquiry, which train, where it will go. Or you telephone. So also, self-inquiry means, "Who am I?" Who am I? From where do I come? What is the purpose of my coming, and where will I go? We don’t know from where we are coming—not today, I mean. Thanks to God, at least we know that we came from our house or the flat or whatever. But from past life, where have you been? Thanks to God, we don’t know. If we knew our past life, I can tell you, we would have so many problems. Still, we are not able to master our problems in this life: health problems, children problems, money problems, house problems, husband or wife—the partner’s problems, parents, healthy, unhealthy. You know, we are all existing in this world, and we have so many difficulties. And something happened in this life; we don’t know what to do. Suppose there was a war and you had to run away from your country or place. You saw that your relatives were killed, this and that, and you hate that place. Though you don’t want to, but in front of your eyes, when your own family members are killed cruelly, the heart does not accept, still, to forgive. Okay, we will try very hard to forgive it, but we can’t forget. The wound is still there. So many problems in life we have, and now you come to the past life. And now, what is the problem? Those who did bad things to your family, you were the children of those people. Now, to whom will you love and whom will you hate? Humans will become crazy. Psychiatric hospitals will be completely filled out. All psychologists will have enough jobs. Therefore, dear God, he closed the curtain. Hari Om. There is a wall between. You don’t know what’s on the other side. Purposely, God did this for our benefit. Ko’ham? Who am I? This is a question. I am here. I am. Now you come and touch my shoulder. What is this? I said, "My shoulder." You pull my hair. What is this? My hair. Anything that you touch, I will say it’s mine. My body, my feelings, my thoughts, my mind, my anger, my emotion—my, my, my. Who is telling me? My soul. So even you are not the soul. The soul makes you individual. And in reality, we are not individual. We are universal, one. So finally, the last said, "I am the Ātmā." It is the Self. The Self, one without second, which is one with the universal One. But also, thanks to God that we don’t know this. Because when we will know that I am divine, or this Self, everybody will only see that I am the Self. Nobody will drive a car. Nobody will go to work in the field. Nobody will make anything. "I am Self; I don’t need anything." Oh my God, the whole world will be paralyzed. So the creator began this game of his creation, and this is called self-sustainable. But the United Nations is always asking for sustainable development. So God made such a system going automatically. God doesn’t have to tell you, "Please create some children." He made such a system without God’s knowing or doing. You get children, and God didn’t tell you. Now you become ill, and you will die. You become ill, and you will die. This is a cycle, and this creation has some sense in it. So, who am I? We don’t know still, and it’s good that we don’t know, that we can work something, we can do something. When you come to know that I am only the Supreme, your body will cease slowly, slowly. You don’t want to live anymore. Because when you come to know that I am the Supreme, the Ātmā only, then you don’t care about your body. You don’t eat. Why should I eat? The body is eating. I am neither food, nor am I eating, nor am I enjoying. Why should I do this? So, thanks to God that he made some boundary, but he gave us the direction to come to the Self. But before coming to the direction of the Self, there are a lot of temptations. And that temptation is our own ignorance and our mistakes. We create problems, and then we are unhappy. How to solve the problem? So there is one story. Should I tell a story? I think it will make clear how we create the problem. Because self-inquiry… the story is a very nice one. The children like it mostly, and big children also like it very much. It’s a story about a monkey, and our mind is a monkey; we are a monkey, a human monkey. One monkey was sitting on a big tree, a nice banyan tree you can say, or any nice tree. And there was one man; he went to catch a cobra, a snake—the snake charmer. And he wanted to earn his living through this. So he got a beautiful, big cobra. Don’t try to touch the cobra, okay, girls? Yes, it has its technique how to catch. So he caught the cobra, and he had a basket made out of bamboo so the cobra can have oxygen, he can breathe. Thanks to God, there was no plastic basket. So he got the cobra, he put it in… he took the basket and covered it with the lid, which was also made from bamboo, had oxygen air, and he put a cloth on it. Now he made a handle and carried the basket carefully. You see the picture? It’s clear. The monkey was sitting on a tree, which was about 10 meters high, or 15 meters, or 20 meters, and saw the basket in the hand of that man. Monkey was thinking, "There must be something good to eat." Why is he carrying it so carefully? He was in the forest. Maybe he got some honey, and now he is carrying it home. So, the desire awakes. The vision, the eyes create the desires. Jaisī draṣṭī vaisī sṛṣṭi. How you look and think, like that the world will be for you. If you look kindly, divine, it is everything divine and kind. Whatever you see and how you think, like that, desires awaken in us. When you cross a shop with ice cream or good apples or good cherries, then you have the desire to buy and eat. The monkey is thinking, "How to get that honey? How to get that basket out of the hand of that man?" Now the monkey is making blackmailing. "Oh man, come sit down under the tree and leave the basket one side." Mental blackmailing, the monkey is doing like this. Well, it was hot, hot weather, so the man felt to sit under the nice tree and have a little rest. He was sitting, and the basket was there. The monkey didn’t dare to come near and steal the basket. Still, fear—everyone is afraid about life, we know. That we will die one day, but we don’t want to die. We are afraid. Monkey giving another blackmailing suggestion, "Go away, disappear. Go away, disappear behind the bush. Go disappear." And the man had a feeling to go behind the bush, toilet, so he left. The basket was there, and he went 30 meters far. The monkey jumped from the tree down, quickly took the basket, hung it on his neck, and quickly climbed to the top of the trees. Happy, happy, "I got it!" Ambition, desire to enjoy. "Now I will enjoy my honey, but…" The monkey did not know there’s no honey, there’s something very funny. And the monkey went high up on the trees, the last branch, sitting, swinging on the branch, and telling to the man, "I have it now," and opened the basket. Cobra came out dancing, looking at the monkey, and the tongue came out. Can you imagine what the condition of the monkey was now? Monkey sees everything yellow. The monkey tries to take the basket off its neck, and with any movement the cobra makes, the monkey is paralyzed again. You know what desire the monkey has now? Just before, one minute, half a minute before, the monkey had a great desire: how to get? And now is the desire: how to get rid of it? The cobra is in the neck, hanging. How to get rid of this cobra now? And so we create many problems in our life out of our own ambition, our greed, our desires. We forget the purpose of our life, and that’s why we humans are suffering the consequences of our deeds. Ignorant are they who think, "I will make my life happy to enjoy this or that." But humans don’t think everything is changeable. This will pass away, and past time will never come again. Do not waste time. In India we say, to waste time is a sin. That God gave you such a valuable chance, and you have time now. As a human, you can do many, many good things and come to know thyself, that you are not that one who is suffering, who is sad, who is depending on something, but you are the divine Self. But all these problems are the creation of our imagination, the creation of our desires, and the roots of these desires, the roots of these problems, are within us. Every action will have a reaction, and every reaction will have again an action. So, what do we call destiny? Destiny is not coming from outside. Destiny is the fruit of our actions. Sooner or later, it will return to us. Good deeds, good things will come. Bad deeds, bad things will come. If you put the seeds of the apples in the ground, then an apple tree will grow, and if you put the thorn bushes’ seeds, the thorn bushes will grow. Putting the apple seed or the thorny seeds and expecting apples, that’s not possible. That is a law of nature. And so meditation means a dialogue with thyself. Meditation means to be one with God. When we pray, then we have a dialogue with him. When we meditate, then we are sitting on his lap like a little baby in the lap of the mother. In meditation, we are with God, and in meditation we receive all our answers to our questions. Therefore, meditation is the way to achievement. Meditation is the way to the Self. Meditation is the way to God. Meditation began with those holy saints thousands of years ago. And even now, every holy man in every ashram, temple, monastery, or cave is meditating. Meditation means to be one without a second. Lucky are they who can meditate. Who will meditate will come to know the sense of life. And who cannot meditate, or will not find the time for meditation, is losing the time. Eating, drinking, sleeping, and creating children, animals can do also. Oh human, if you are doing only this… what is the difference between animals and you? Yoga is a very, very old principle. You remember when I spoke last time in New York, I remember many of you I saw here, and I spoke about yoga, how old it is, about the universe, the consciousness and energy, the balance, the unity, and harmony. So yoga is not belonging to some religion or some path. What we are practicing is trying to become one with our Self, to realize our divine Self within us, that we are part of the universe, the Supreme One. Only we have to forgive and forget. Only we have to help ourselves. No one will come and help you to solve that very particular problem which we made a mistake in or which happened through our being in this world. Only and only we are the ones who can solve problems. Part 2: The Hawk and the Meat: A Lesson in Renunciation How? There was a bird, a hawk. This hawk caught a piece of meat from a dead animal and flew away to a tree or its nest to eat it. Two other birds, bigger and stronger, followed him to snatch the meat from his beak. They chased him as he flew up and down. He felt they were enemies and thought, "I have done nothing to them. Why are they after me? Why won't they let me be in peace?" He prayed, "God, help me. Why are they against me?" A voice came: "My child, they are not against you." "Then why do they follow me?" the hawk asked. "They do not follow you," God said. "Don't you see? You want peace? Then say, 'Yes, Lord,' and drop what you have. Drop it." So he dropped the piece of meat. The two birds followed the meat, and the hawk flew away peacefully to sit on a tree. God said, "Now you understand?" He replied, "Yes, my lord." Therefore, Mahātmā Gandhījī said, "Renounce and enjoy. How much you can renounce from your life, that much you will be happy. And what you can’t renounce, be sure, sooner or later, it will be a burden for you." So renounce, renounce, renounce—material things, as well as emotional attachments or anything. Try to become one with thyself and be very clear. Your life will become very happy. This is self-inquiry meditation. Who am I? Ko’ham, katham—from where am I coming? Idam, Jatam—and where am I going? Where will I go in the next life? Gove kartasya vidyatai—what am I doing? And where will it lead me? These things that I am doing... Ninety-nine point... Everything that we do in this world will lead us to sorrow. What should we do now? Should we not move at all? Remain like a statue, not looking left or right, paralyzed? What should we do? Yes, we should act. This world is known as a karma-bhūmi, the planet of action and good actions. So, like all of you are doing so many good things, keep on doing good things. Reduce the negative things, even negative thinking. We do karma through the physical body. We do karma through the mental body. We do karma through our words, and we do karma through our social position or through our money. So, let’s say if you are doing fifty things only for your worldly life, then try to do at least ten things for your spiritual life, or one—at least one. So if you earn $100, you can give $1 for some poor people, or for poor animals, or to feed the birds, or for someone needy. So, one percent. That one by one, drop by drop, the pot will be filled one day. Step by step. There is one song from a film about Assisi, Brother Sun and Sister Moon. It is said: day by day and stone by stone, build the monastery. So, every day, if you meditate five minutes, then in two days you will have ten minutes. And in one month...? If you have to sit so many hours, you cannot meditate, you cannot sit. So, step by step, slowly, slowly, begin to meditate. Now, we don’t know how to meditate. I think there is not a driving license for how to drive a car. There are no traffic rules for meditation, okay? And there is no red light. So, the best way to meditate, I can tell you what to do. How do people meditate? What do we mean? It would be my ego to say, but those who are on the spiritual path—monks, swāmīs, advanced yogīs—how do they meditate? The problem is that we cannot read their mind. That’s our problem. If we could read their mind, what they are doing mentally, then we could do it too. But often they close their eyes, and we don’t know if he’s in Manhattan, or in Niagara Falls, or in Australia, Sydney, or in the Holy Land, India, or in China—beautiful, the country of artists, poets, and philosophers. The wisdom of China and India, these are two parallels. It’s like we have two eyes, and when one eye is not functioning properly, we have to have eyeglasses. Why doesn’t it function? Because of the people. They become lazy. People ask me a question: when India had such a high culture and divine philosophy, why did Indians become like that? It is because they left the path. They became more materialistic. Truth is the truth. The sun is shining. If you go outside, you will be in the sun, but if you are sitting in a closed room inside, what should the sun do? It’s your mistake. But how do they meditate? This is, I should tell you, very sacred. Should I tell you? Do you deserve this today? Yes, I think. Don’t be surprised by what I tell you. Either a monk or a yogi, or a very advanced yogi, a practitioner of yoga, or a holy saint—it doesn’t matter who is who—how they meditate. Now I will tell you: they do nothing. They just close their eyes and remember or repeat the name of God, that’s all. Not that they are imagining Himālaya, holy Himālaya. Not that they are imagining the ocean or the sun rising. No, they did all this headache. After trying everything, finally they come to this point. After the whole day flying here and there, the bird comes back at sunset, flies to the nest. And so the highly developed, they just close their eyes and repeat the name of God according to their belief. What is God for them? And it comes to their inner space as soon as they enter. It’s like peace, divine peace. It’s called pin silent. But these eyes are not easy to close. That we have to learn: how to close the eye. When I ask my disciples, "Close your eyes and we will meditate," after one minute, they open one eye and look at me to see what I am doing. After two minutes, they look at the watch. After five minutes, they say, "Where is your meditation?" It means you are connected to your body. You are connected to your world. Closed eyes means closed. That’s all. You enter into your endless universe within thyself. So there is nothing, only two of us: God and ourself. And we say to God, "You are not separate, you and I are one." So’ham, so’ham. So means that, ham means I. I am that, that I am. And today we are so, ho, sitting, no? So, the so, ho, we have to turn to the so’ham. So try now, self-inquiry. Very kindly ask yourself. Just for—I will count for you three minutes, and then I will chant "Oṃ," which means you can open your eyes again. Just close your eyes, do nothing. Remember God in the way you think God can be, that’s all. Or your mantra. Relax the whole body. Be comfortable and gently, without any ambition, without any concentration, without imagination, just close your eyes. Relax your eyelids, relax your eyelids, just relax. And be one with thyself in the inner space. Silent, you enter into your inner space, into your room, where everything turns into peace. Mentally, just repeat your mantra. If you don’t have a mantra, just remember the divine according to your imagination. Relax your eyelids and be with your closed eyes. Don’t try to push your eyeballs up or anywhere. Just relax. I am just one with myself. I have nothing to do, no duty. And now begins your three minutes. After three minutes, I will chant Oṃ. For three minutes, I will not speak anything. Deep inhale, and slowly exhale and open your eyes. So, the best meditation that you can do—of course, there are many different kinds of meditation techniques. I would say that’s not a meditation; that’s a concentration technique. There is a passive meditation and an active meditation. Active meditation means to be creative. When an artist is painting some portrait or some picture, he’s one with it; he’s aware of that. Or a sculptor making a statue, he or she is not thinking of others, listening to the radio, but at the same time, one with the work. In old times, people who were working, what we call the hand worker, they were doing with love, not only because of money. They always did something so that what they did would have a harmony with nature, and everyone who will see or have will be happy. And that’s what we call the ancient culture—art, the buildings, many things—is so beautiful, harmonizing the energy. Nowadays, with modern technology, we would like to have our house built within three months or two months. We would like to move into our house. In some countries, even in one weekend, because they have a movable house, they cut into parts the wooden box, transfer with the lorries, and put there again together. Here you are, maybe or not, over one weekend. There is no beauty, there is no harmony. Creative meditation: whatever you do, according to your profession, and for your friends, and at home for your family, do with love. Give something, give your talents. Inside, there will be harmony and beauty. Or just sit down wherever you are. It must not be that you sit like... I’m sitting in this yoga posture. You can sit on a sofa or chair, you can lean, you can lie down. It doesn’t matter how, but be awakened, don’t sleep. Through the postures, we will not get liberation. And God does not want that we give trouble or torture our body. If you cannot sit like this, it does not mean that you can’t meditate. No, it’s not true. You can sit one leg down, or you can sit like this. The leg doesn’t matter. The thing is that your eyes close so beautifully, gently, and you enter into your inner space. Peace. That is a shelter where you can go and take all the burden of your life just for a while. And deep inhale and exhale means that I know I’m living. I know I am happy, and I know there is God, and I am one with God. God must not be in a form. Someone says God is love, someone says God is the light, someone says God is the truth, someone says God is nature. God is beautiful in everything, so everyone has an individual feeling, something special. And that is within your inner space. You close your eyes and suddenly you will know, "Who am I?" But before that, we have to realize, "How am I? Am I a good person or a bad person?" Why are there some people who have problems? They can’t find a partner, let’s say. This is also a big problem nowadays. There are some people who find a partner, and after two months, or three days, or five days, or one month, they disappear like the snow disappeared in New York now. Two days ago, it was below zero, and now it’s suddenly above. Where has the snow gone? Why did this happen? Or is it a business life? We are all tired of this. But there must be something in me that disturbs my colleagues, or my partners, or my friends. Something will have to do with myself, not with others. And don’t think that everybody will accept you as you are. You have to accept them as they are. Confucius said, "Don’t think that people don’t respect you all. But you should think that you are still not that one that everyone should respect you." First, respect; then your respecting others’ reaction will come back as respect. Do good, get good. Don’t think that people don’t know me enough, or why the world doesn’t know me. No, just think that I am not that one that they should know me, but when the time will come... They know you without making your propaganda or anything. They will know who you are, and therefore, just be. That’s all. Just be humble, like a tree with lots of fruits on it. Anyone can come and take. The tree will not say, "Oh, you can’t. Take it, it belongs to my Lord, my house owner. I’m in his garden." The tree will never say it. Birds come to enjoy the fruit. The ants come to enjoy the fruit. The animals come, or the worms. Anyone can enjoy that fruit. The tree is for everyone. And so, just be there. Give beautiful blossoms, give beautiful fruits, beautiful thoughts, then your life will become very divine and very happy. And whenever you can find time, even for two minutes or one minute, close your eyes, deep inhale: God is with you, and you are with God. Immediately that is the meditation. Not that now you concentrate on this chakra, and then you concentrate on Maṇipūra, and then Anāhata, and then you think, "My kuṇḍalinī will go up, and how will it go up? Which side will it go up? Will it go first left side, or will it go first right side? Is my chakra now turning left side, or is my chakra turning right side?" Yes, they do. They do turn left and right, and kuṇḍalinī will go left and right. But all this, leave it. Kundalini will awake automatically, and when the kundalini awakes, you will not feel that it is some disturbing power. It is joy, love, the light of wisdom, happiness. So just withdraw for one minute, close your eyes, take a deep inhale and exhale, and be in the peaceful, endless chidākāśa, the inner space. No expectation, no waiting, no concentration. We are tired from expectation and concentration. Now we close our eyes only to be ourselves. So once more, three minutes. So now, make one thing which I tell you. Make comfortable how you want. Take shoes on or off, okay? Legs up, down, or to the side. We have more chairs. Lean or don’t lean. Stand or sit as you like. Or head standing, anything, where you feel comfortable, no? Okay, first thing, we will do one. Please stand up, and slowly stretch your hands up, and interlock the fingers. Stand on the toes and stretch up, and place your hands on your head. Once more, inhale, and exhale. Inhale, and exhale. Hands up. Let it hang here. Hands relaxed. And bring hands down to the sides. Once more, slowly relaxed. Arms raise up. Relax. Once more. Hands up, and sidewards down. Now you sit on your chair. Just relax. Again, three minutes. So, relax as much as you like, as you can, how you feel comfortable. I will begin. We have to leave the center? Yes, close the windows, doors, and eyes also. Thank you. Close everything but not your heart. So, now begins. Do it yourself, okay? Now three minutes are over. If you want, you can for one minute find out and be honest or fair. Or, be very clear to thyself: what do you think disturbs others from you? Do you think you can change this? Just for one minute, it doesn’t matter whatever it is. God, thank you that I am. Life with you, relax and deep inhale, exhale three times. We will chant oṃ śānti. Deep inhale. Move your fingers, close the fist, and open the palms. Close the fist and rotate your wrists. Open the palms and fold your palms, and rub the palms. Place the palms on the face and open your eyes. That’s all for today. If you have any wish or any question, welcome. To ask, yes, eleven is one more than ten, where the zero comes, it’s finished. And when one comes, it’s continuity, okay? Therefore, in numerology, zero is not counted. But if you don’t like eleven, you can do it seven. Then it becomes seven-eleven. Any more questions? Any more questions? Who? Yes. Okay, you thought it was an apple seed, but it was not an apple seed. You didn’t analyze properly. Therefore, it was a mistake. He didn’t analyze properly. There was a cobra. He only thought it was good. But sometimes thorns are good also. Thorns are also beautiful sometimes. Thorns are actually created by God as a protection. So many bushes have nice, gentle things inside. But the animals will destroy, so they are thorns, so they don’t come near. Okay? But in certain ways, thorns are not good. Any more questions? "Knowing at least that our time is limited here in the physical body to work on our spiritual self, and being here now, being at one, without a sense of urgency or looking forward to this. How do we bring harmony to this? I will give you time. There is one question from my side."
