Practising A-U-M at Vep

The inner government of the self is established through practice, not theory. Our primary country is the body and mind. We must govern this inner world first, choosing nourishment wisely. We cannot negotiate with the inner world; blaming others creates guilt that reflects back as disease. Negative thoughts and words are bullets that cannot be recalled; they shorten life and generate suffering. Our habits of eating and negative thinking create disturbances. To heal, we must cultivate positive thoughts and solve others' problems, which brings deep rest.

The science of yoga awakens dormant power within the chakras. The sound Oṃ is a scientific tool for healing. Chanting begins with 'A' at the navel, moves to the heart, transitions to 'U' at the throat, and culminates in the humming 'M' that vibrates the entire brain. This practice harmonizes the nervous system, relieves headaches, and releases depression. The resonance cleanses the inner channels and restores memory.

"Two things do not come back: the bullet and the word."

"Negative thinking... that’s it. And you cannot hide that from the two who know constantly."

All living beings are the inhabitants of this earth. Our program is going on. What we spoke about the last two days was more theory, and as someone said, tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice. So we are coming to that. Everyone has problems, and we have two kinds of problems: the problems of the country and the problems of the rest of the world. The problem of the country means, for me, all problems above and below my whole skin, in my body—what kind of problem or disease we have. That’s our problem, and we should choose good nourishment. You are free. You can feed on the poison, or with the nectar. You can give your body a soothing ice cream or a nice apple. That’s the freedom of your inner world, and this whole world is the whole world with us, our country. So, we should give the voting to our inner self, our body, our physical body, first. That we make better government within, inside. Mr. Heart or Mrs. Heart, I don’t know. Is the heart female or masculine? Neutral. Very good. That’s why God creates something without duality—neither male nor female. So there are some males, some females. You know, some are born as men to the man and as wives to the girls. So that is also something, and that’s why the heart is a neutron. It can go this side or that side. And liver, what is that? Female. That’s why there are a lot of problems there. So, all the best hormones, best everything, goes first to the liver. And that factory… So, the father goes shopping and brings good things. But then it’s given to the liver, even the stomach. And then, that liver is a factory of different hormones. Similarly, the kidneys and the whole body are full of the female. Okay, good. That’s very good. You know, so many females. And one Jīvātmā, that’s a male, okay? Now I know why there are in the world so many women and one man. Thank you. Thank you, God. Clarity. So, our inner world and outer world. We can negotiate the outer world, but we cannot negotiate the inner world. And if we try to do something in the inner world, then we are giving the mistakes, the guilt, to others. You see how it is a reflection from the other countries to this inner world. About 18-20 years ago, once the Mahārājā from Jodhpur came to the vape here. Have you a memory also? Do you remember somebody? So the journalist came from Sombathai, and they were asking some questions. And one asked, "In which political party are you? Because, Your Highness, you were an ambassador in some country." So he said yes for some days, then I gave up because my father, my dynasties, they were ruling the kingdom, and all in this kingdom, they were like my father. Father’s own son or own daughter, whom should I deny? The king has whole kingdoms as his family. Therefore, I am not connected to or supporting one party. All come to me, I give them a cup of tea, or feed everybody equally, that’s all. So, we have to get that balance within ourselves. When you will, you will blame someone. You will backbite. You will give negative words. That is, it’s called, I read in some bhajan or in some śāstra: as negatively as you think of someone, as you humiliate someone, so will your life become shorter and shorter. How? You are on the high mountain, or on the ice, and suddenly you will slide so that you can’t control yourself. You will fall down high, so quickly. Otherwise, your life was long, so now, so much karma, so much negative karma. So that destiny, I don’t know who is a god or there is no god, the creator or no creator, but there must be something, destiny. That destiny said, "This one has no more rights to be here in the human society." Slide him down into the Naraka. We harm when we give others guilt. And that’s why, again, I’m repeating this one word from the Bible. If someone gives sleep on your cheek, do not give back, but give your second cheek. But what we don’t give them anymore is our cheek. But also, not only the boxing. There will be some; you press the button, and it goes very quickly inside. That’s why we twist our spine like this. So, all reflects on us, and that shows us as a disease. Ask why you have this disease, or why you had this accident. I don’t know. If you ask me, "Why do I have so many diseases, Swāmījī?" Well, I’m not an X-ray machine that I can look through what we call the X-rays. So I’m not an X-ray machine. But, of course, I will tell you, there are some foods that were not good, the air was not good, etc., etc. But it is that our negative thinking, that’s it. And you cannot hide that from the two who know constantly; you can’t hide. That’s why it’s called "Big Brother is watching." Yes, they were the best brothers. Good watching. That’s a story I have, but I’m not telling it now. They were protecting you. Big brother is always protecting. If you are doing wrong, guess I, then big brother has the right to hold the ears. So, that inner big brother that our self is, sorry for that, because the mind, Manmaranamamatamari Marmargayashari Asatrishnanahamari, I always taught this. So, relax and become positive. Many diseases will disappear; otherwise, your liver will suffer. Your gallbladder will suffer. Many things will suffer. Negative. If you eat too much sweet, it’s your habit, but it is too much. That will also make you ill. So, some people can’t sleep if they have not criticized someone. You know, I tell you about one man. He was working with political people. And he used to guilt anybody, always. And when somebody is unhappy, then he said, "Yes, but I told you." Okay, give me a paperweight. You know what a paperweight is? This is a paper, and it will blow away with the wind. So give me some weight on it, and that’s called a paperweight. That’s a language, but that means corruption. I put some weight on my paper, my money, and in India they said, "Okay, no problem. Give Gandhījī on the table." Because every north of India has a Gandhijī picture, like Mahāraṇī in England. Now, what they said: "Gandhijī is in the grave, so give me the box." The box, a bag full of money, and Gandhiji are in the box. So that man is always happy and can sleep well, he created some problems. And one day he couldn’t sleep. Because he had no chance to make anyone happy, so he couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t sleep, and his wife was not there at home; otherwise, he would have made her unhappy. She went to her parents’ house. So, 3:30 in the night, he dialed a number, and said, "Hello. What’s your name? Are you that one, yes? Tomorrow, you have to come to the police office. I warn you." Finished. Now, that man was so sad. So, why should I go to the police? What happens? At that time, the numbers were not coming. It was only ringing. This man was sleeping. So there are some people who, if they cannot make others unhappy… And the good people, the wise people, the loving people, the humble people, the spiritual people, they will always make people happy. And when you can solve someone’s problem, you sleep deep and good at night. So our own thoughts, our own words, our word is a bullet. So it is said, two things do not come back: the bullet and the word. Your words must be spoken when they will not come back. We may say sorry, this, this, this. We will forgive. In the time of the Yugoslavian restlessness, so people said, we will forgive them, but we will not forget. And when the bullet is gone, you cannot run and catch it back. Our bullet is our thought, and the other bullet is our words. And the third one is the soul. When it’s gone, then the soul goes with such a high speed, a very high speed. Quicker than what we call the rocket. Yeah, that’s it. So, it goes through and through. And therefore, many, many diseases are due to our two mistakes. The habits of eating and negative thinking about someone are creating disturbance and trouble for someone. That is called, in Christianity they say, I don’t know what it means, but it’s called, in German, "Fegefeuer." The fierce fire. That one will last, I don’t know until a new incarnation will come. Until then, you will be tortured in that fire. In this fire here, okay, it will, sooner or later, very quickly, burn and die. Hurry up. But that sin doesn’t let you die, nor does it let you live. That’s it. Anyhow, we come back to our practice. You are the best people here. I see the aura. It is so strong, and you know why it’s very strong? Because there are two lights here. Though it is on this, but still there are two. Okay, so we begin. There are different kinds of Brahmari Prāṇāyām technique. There are five different techniques, and they treat all five elements. And so, let’s say first we learn two things. The first step is to learn how to change the Aum. And this Oṁ, of which we know everybody, and we said the sound is coming from the navel, from the Maṇipūra Cakra. So, the alphabet, or what we call the language, what we write, you call alphabet or what? The letters, we call them the alphabet, no? Yeah, but in America, someone made a correction to come to me and say, "Swamiji, it’s not ’the,’ what? Letters." I said, "Very good. I learn something new every day." So I said, "Okay, letters." So letters can be late. So, the science of yoga is the science of the human body. For other creatures also, but we are talking about the humans. So, the entire power of humans is dormant in the chakras. And the chakras, which are five in number, the sixth one is our Ājñā cakra, and then we look at the petals of the lotus. So it begins from Mūlādhāra Cakra. So how many petals does Mūlādhāra have? Four. Very good. And Svādhiṣṭhāna? Six is fixed. Six, then four and six, very good. Then comes Viśuddhi, you see, Maṇipūra. In our language, money means money, and in English also, the money. So, Holī Gurujī said, "The money bank." So, how many petals does the money pool have? Ten. Ten and ten. Then comes Madam Heart, no? She has the majority. My God. The other needs the coalition. So, Anahat, how many Anahat are there? Twelve. So, twenty and twelve. Then comes the vocal cord. It must be the voice. Is it male or female? Okay, that is, how many? Sixteen. So, thirty-two and sixteen? Forty-eight, and then Ājñā Chakra, two, two! Male and female, must be. So fifty, and then comes three: the Akāra, Ukāra, and Makāra. So these are the different kinds of letters, like in Czech they have some different ones on the top. I think Slovenians and Slovakians, they also have some differences. So it’s fifty-two. This fifty-two resonance is connected into three. All three lokas, and that’s called Akhāṛā, Ukhāṛā, Makhāṛā. Akhāṛā is that form. The Akhāṛā is that voice, the sound. Ahoṅ Makāra is that from Śiva, the light. Akhāṛā, Akhāṛā, Makar. Trinity Haramśāg. So, Brahmā is the Akhāṛā. Brahmā Akhāṛā, Viṣṇu is the Akhāṛā, Viṣṇu Akhāṛā, and Śiva is the Makar. Śiva Makar The Kṛṣṇa So, in these letters in India, what we call Hindi, but in reality it is Sanskrit. Hindi is a sub-language. So this alphabet is called Devanāgarī. Deva means the goddess. Nāgarik means citizen. If you go to any university in any country, ask them what is the definition of the name of the letters. In the Greek, they will say the Greek language. Che, che. Double check. But this Deva means God. God is. So this individual person, Nāgarika, is the citizen. So we are citizens of that divine world of God. As our human body, so we are the members of this body. We may say president of this, or governor of this, and so on and so forth. Now, which devas are in this body? All these centers of the chakras. Every petal. We have many, many chakras, more than this also. But the major government is there. So, when we say "A," the first alphabet, when we say "A," then it’s pulling in the navel. Say A, and then we say it a little louder, then it comes to the heart. A, double A. Kettős A. A, double A. Kettős A. That supports the heart. Now, touch one of your hands to your navel. It doesn’t matter if the stomach is big or small; it will give you an indication. You can speak yourself. One word, anything. One word, talk anything. Look. This hand here says, "Vape." Did you press here down? Budapest, Vienna. He is in the throat. But, but again comes here, but. Croatia. So, milk, ice cream, father, mother, all are here. But how this Oṃ is chanted is very scientific. So you have to learn first, no, no, remain here, stop. You went here already, yes, so, and then, very good. So when you are saying the second "A," you empty the navel. But if you say only "A," then the whole navel is in tension. Aaaaaa, very good. But we went up, and we are coming to the vocal cords. So, the A is for navel and heart. Aaaaaa, very good. But now you have to come up. When the balloon is full, it must lift. How to enter there? And therefore it is U. Listen, yes, ooh, how do you come to the ooh? Yes, the pot was full, the bottle was full, but taking water out from the throat, the neck of the bottle, then a different sound. You are doing like my little parents, she is all telling me, "Oh, oh,... oh." The color and the vibration create healing and restore our entire trunk, and in which the trunk and the whole brain—this entire machine—are affected in a very, very beautiful way, as a home. Some say it is a Hindu religion. Why not? Hindu religion is good. It should not be a devilish religion. So in Hindu religion, Sanātana Dharma is the father of all other dharmas. When did this dharma come out? Anyhow, so now, everybody, come on. And we come to the humming sound. The whole brain is vibrating. All the blood circulations, all the nerves, all the glands, all the tissues in the brain are getting such a harmonized vibration. And it is proved that those who often have headaches, it takes two or three months of daily practice, and also depression, very soon the depression can be released. All is in the brain. So, we will chant eleven times. If your eyes are closed, you will better take in your attention to the whole technique. So again, don’t jump immediately to the second R. It’s a, a,... u. So, "a" is the navel, and the second "a" is the heart, which prepares the channel to enter. Therefore, you said, coming to the thyroid glands and vocal cords. Then it goes, penetrates through the whole brain, and it makes that energy, and also what you call the memory, awakes again. It’s like we clean our water channels when there is a lot of caulk on it, so is that. Ten times. Don’t wait for others. It’s very interesting how it’s going on, number one. Number two. You need not make a competition. That I can, how long I can go. After four times, you will be out of breath. So, this length would be good enough. I think, listen to me. So, go ahead. Body straight. One hand on the navel. Feel your navel, one hand on the navel. Remain with closed eyes and just observe your whole body. Now, good, open your eyes. Nyisd a szemed. Then we make our hand, the whole of our palm. Like this. Yeah, then the kuṇḍalinī goes up. And so we will hold our hand. No, no, listen, listen. Hands remain like this. It covers the whole ear, not inside. If you do this side, the water will flow that side, so only it is covered like this, okay? And then again, ten times, you will chant in the same way, same way, oṁ. Both hands will make the hollow. There will be more volume. When you just hold like this, you will feel like you are diving in the Adriatic River coast, like under the water, yeah? But we are not imagining water, okay? We shall imagine the sky. So again, the same way. Hey, no, no, you are going wrong. No. Hey, lady, you are wrong, very soft. Ten times, you can have it like this, or like that, but not like this, like this, or a little bit like this. So, sit straight, hold your hands in such a way that it will not tire your hands. And straight body. So, eleven times. And just listen to the resonance. Second round, with the hands on the ears and the hollow of your palms, go ahead and be in that resonance, this space. Pull up this space with this resonance of your Oṃ. So now, three times we will chant Oṃ, but in the same way. Now, always when we chant Om, it is to take this right technique. So, take a deep inhale, and hold your hands. Rub your palms. Place the palms on your face. And open your eyes. Bend forward. Bend forward. To the ground. To the ground. And feel the blood circulation towards the head.
