We are coming today to a new technique. It is the beginning of that Kriyā. We have learned about the breath. The breath or prāṇa is stronger than the physical body. How far is your body purified? All of us, we are 65 to 80% polluted in our body. It is connected with the environment, the pollution—physical pollution, sound pollution, mental pollution, and tension pollution. This pollution harms our body. Second is the nourishment, food. We are very much polluted by food: the way of nourishment and how to prepare the food, and what we put in our body besides our diet. That is the cause of many diseases. Do you want to become a real yogī? If you want to become a true yogī, then you have to purify your body. The first steps are the Agnisāra Kriyā and Nauli Kriyā. If you want to become a yogī, if you want to become a saint, there are two paths. They are called Lakṣyatī and Vācārtī. Lakṣyatī means that one has an aim in life. Not theory, but practice. And Vācārtī is speaking, giving lectures, reading books—any kind of books, or even the Vedas and Upaniṣads, the different philosophies. There are many different philosophies. There is enough to read, enough to learn. But it is a theory, and tons of theory is nothing without a gram of practice. So, do you want to be a vācārtī and give very nice lectures and read some holy books, or what they call in India, some kind of reading of the books? If you want to become a Vācārtī, to read, to preach, to read scriptures, anecdotes and holy ones, they call it Kathā. Kathā is telling a story. Of course, not making our own stories. But we will read one particular scripture: the Bhagavad Gītā, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, the Śivakathā, Śiva Purāṇa, many Rāmāyaṇas, also what you call the Bible, the Qur’ān, etc. So there are people who are expert in talking and reading, and that’s why people like it. They would like to listen to many stories. Yes, it’s inspiring. You get some inspiration, but at the same time, you have no practice. So the way when they are talking, it’s a sāttvic food and sāttvic life, and they like very much to speak and listen about this. But after coming home, they are eating tāmasic food. Then you are making a conflict between your brain, what you have heard, and what you are doing, which is opposite. So, theory is different, and theory only can lead you a certain path, certain miles, or to your death, to your death. But that knowledge and sādhanā will not go with you further. So Lakṣyatī, who have the aim, target—let’s say in the material world, you establish one company, any subject. Now, if you establish one company, maybe you have some partners. And then you have the aim, what you should achieve. Now, in this company, you say that we will create a very special car. Till now in this world, there was not such a car. And you are more, how to call the car? Workers with you. Partner. It will take three times to realize something, that yes, we want it like that. Three years, we try something and we fail, because we want to have exactly what we want. Then we work on it, and we make a mental plan. And we will change our plans many times, which will take us three years. Then you will see the clear, very clear path. But there is no path, but we have to make a path through the forest. Between that, many partners will go away; somebody remains. And now, you have the plan, everything exactly. And now we need money, and we will get it, then we get that kind of car, which doesn’t need petrol, doesn’t need too many tires, and many, many things. And everyone buys that car for millions of forints. Or billions of forints. Then what will happen? The partners will begin to fight. So, there will again come the conflict. So, my share is that much, my share is this, I don’t want any more, I want to have my money back. You will be successful, but you will have another problem. Because you had one thought, and you should have gone on your own. You had an idea, and you had to follow that concept. Getting support from them, but not depending on them. Similarly, in spiritual life, many will go with you and many will fall down. Many will give up, some will support you and will go with you all the time, but suddenly will split, saying, "I am also a Guru, and the other is also a Guru," and that Guru, again you split it. This is the theory, this is the vācārtī, but lakṣyārthī, working inside. So there is no greed of materialism, but the spiritual. And for that, we need a very clear path. Destination, our destination. But we need a clear path, which means a sattvic life. Without that, you can’t do anything. You will not be successful in the spiritual path to go to the Brahmaloka. You may read all the holy scriptures, all Vedas, Upaniṣads, Bibles, etc. What have you achieved in the soul? At the end, finished. So it is said, there is one poem, and it is said: "Pothā paḍh paḍh jug bhaiyā, paṇḍit bhaiyā na koī, dhāī akṣhar prem kā, paḍe so paṇḍit hoī." You understand, no? So, Pothapadpadyugbha. Potha means a big type of book. So many books, one after another, one after another. And you read everything, you understood everything. But still, you did not become wise, that spiritual, you did not become still. So much you read, as much as you read, you will become more confused. In your brain, every side, you have this story, this line, this book, this holy book, that, this, the philosophy, that, etc. But you didn’t become that wise one. Wise one means the holy one. Your life is lost, your time is lost. How many years were you studying this philosophy? Then, how many years did you read this philosophy? How many years have you read these Vedas? Now these Vedas, now those Vedas, now that Holy Book, that Bible, that Koran, that Torah, but what has happened now? Where are you? Yes, they are very good Holy Scriptures. We adore that, we respect that. We respect and adore these holy scriptures. But what have you learned from this scripture? So there is one book, and you read it, and you reread it, and you put it away. You ask, did you read this book? From this saint? He said, "Yes." Did you understand? Yes. Did you realize? No. Then what? So, there is one holy book called Guru Granthā. It is a holy book in the Sikh tradition, the Sikh religion, and that holy book is called the Guru Granthā, like our Lilāmṛt, or Śrī Vijñāna Gītā, or our yoga book, or our Hidden Powers in Humans. Have you seen that? Yes. Did you look in? Of course. Did you read? Of course. Did you understand? Yes. You like it? Perfect. Did you gain some knowledge? Yes. Yes. Did you realize? No. That’s it. So, like you collect all kinds of materials for making a nice dinner, a very delicious dish. But only until that point. Even you did not smell it. And you did not eat. You are waiting and waiting. So, now what is the benefit of this book for your... accept your intellect? It’s a theory. Did you realize the hidden powers in humans, chakras and kuṇḍalinī? Did you awaken the Mūlādhāra chakra? Even you don’t know. And when the Mūlādhāra cakra awakens, you don’t know what kind of energy comes inside. Sometimes, burning like a Hungarian paprika. Oh God! You can’t sit, you can’t stand. Wrong! So, what knowledge did you gain in reality, practically? Because you did not take it seriously, and you did not practice exactly. So, that Guru Grantha, Guru Gobind Singh Jī, Guru Nānak Dās, he writes that holy book called Guru Grantha. Grantha means all the stories, all the knowledge, all that the Guru Paramparā gave them, this knowledge. And then Guru Nānak said, "In Kali Yuga, it will not be easy to get such a Guru." So he closed the chapter. There will be no other book, other Guru. Other Guru. But we want to have a Guru. So he wrote one last poem: "Guru Granth Ko Janiye, so you should know this holy book. This holy book. Guru Granth Ko Janiye, Pragyat Guru Ki Dehe." If you know that holy Guru Grantha, if you know, if you realize, then this is not a book, it is Gurudev Himself. If you understand Līlā Amṛt, then you understand it is not only Līlā Amṛt, it is the Holy Gurujī Himself, Mahāprabhujī Himself, Devpurījī Himself, Alakhpurījī Himself. Sine, Devpurījī, Holy Gurujī, Alakhpurījī, so, Guru Granth ko jānīye, know thyself that this holy book is not a book but the embodiment of the Guru. "Jiske hirde sathya hai," in whose heart the truth of the Gurudev’s principle is realized. In inimă, cariera se desfășoară după principiile acelui Guru. So, know the Guru Granth as the manifest body of the Guru, whose heart is truth, in which... Gurudev, you can see the Gurudev, pragat Gurua kī de. That, in that book, in that, in your heart, you realize this is your Guru. If you can’t understand your Guru, then read that Gurū Grantha book, or your Guru’s, or read the Bible. Don’t read the Bible only intellectually, not all the letters. But each and every word in the Bible, you will see, it is not that, but only Jesus and Jesus and Jesus. If you take the Quran, there is the, what do they call, Allah. And those who have the Bhagavad Gītā, Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa,... Kṛṣṇa. If you read the Bhagavad Gītā and you give your own philosophy, Kṛṣṇa will say, "What is this stupid person talking about?" So you are making a story, then Krishna said, "I was not like that." So, Holy Gurujī said, "Only the mother knows who the father is." And those who know the Gītā, they can understand what is Kṛṣṇa. So, if you know Krishna, you will understand what the Gītā is. So what we are making a drama here? It is man-made stories, and therefore you cannot get that realization within thyself. Listen to the Bhagavad Gītā, listen to what is said about the Guru and what happens, what you should do and what you should not do. There is a deep water well, and we put one bucket with a rope to bring the water out. 100 meters deep. And now we slowly, slowly bring it out. We bring water from 100 meters deep. And only one meter left. Only ten centimeters were left to get in your hand, and the rope broke. And how quickly that bucket full of water went to the bottom of the well. And so it is that you will do your Guru Bhakti, you will do your sādhanā, but what we call, do not worship the day before the day is sitting, do not worship the day too early. Still, there is a day; do not worship the Sūrya. You don’t know what will happen. So whatever is happening, do not make thyself that now I know everything. I read all philosophies. I read all books. I read all languages. Very good. Great. Wonderful. Wow. How good you are. Knowledgeable, but didn’t realize ātmā jñāna. It will take time. So that’s why many disciples, many practitioners, they lose their path at the last time. Therefore, whatever you did your whole life, in this life you are lost. Next life you will come, then this karma will come to you, and you will join again. And you don’t know where your Guru is now. Did the Guru pass away? You were doing 90 years of sādhanā? Now you have died, you are searching for the Guru, but your Guru died 90 years ago. He has been born again, the Guru is already 89 years old, but you did not realize who that one is. So this is a path where we should come to exactly that place. So reading is good, learning is good, philosophy is good, but this is all theory. Finally, how will you come? One little example, you all know very well, our aeroplane takes off from that airport and from thousands of kilometers, exactly landing again on the next destination at the airport, on that second to second or meter to meter. Meters or centimeters, standing there like you were already here. Similarly, from our birth until death, we have to land at the Gurudev’s shelter. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said, "Oh my mind, slowly, slowly." So, many yugas, you read many, many scriptures. But the real Paṇḍit, or the real one, he has not yet become. Dhyākṣara, two and a half alphabet, letter, two and a half letters. If you read that one, you will become the Brahmajñānī. Only two and a half letters, not even the third letter. Yes! Then you will say, "My God, I could only sit under the tree and take the cherries. No reading, nothing. Only two and a half letters get mokṣa." And this I want to give you today, this I want to give you today. Oh my God! Why did we go to university? Why did we study this and that? So these two and a half letters, that’s called Rāma. Se Numesc Ram. This letter, this resonance, Ram, in the symbol of the chakra of the Manipura, that is the bīja mantra. And that bīja mantra is sitting there, that it takes us up from the earth to height and to the mokṣa above. Prana and apana together, they lift us up. And so, sit straight. We have been learning the resonance of the Aum, and now, where the Aum is there, the Aum has also only two and a half letters: Akāra, Ukāra, Makāra. So, from the navel where we chant Oṁ, the first alphabet is A. A. Now that is coming from the Brahmaloka, from the Sahasrāra Cakra. And that is coming, Rām. Very good. Thank you. For the name also, Maestro. So when we are chanting the Rāma, it comes from Brahmanandhra. It touches, of course, the navel and sūrya. Ram is the sūrya, the solar, awakening the solar energy again. The prāṇa and apāna, when we say "om, om," we are going up. Ram, first we are opening the mouth, and then we are going down, and from here it’s coming from the navel. It’s opening also the mouth, but with a different pressure. The ingoing energy and outgoing energy, and this is a very powerful center called the Pūrī Cakra, according to the cakras and kuṇḍalinī signs. So, again. Look, when we say "Om," the tongue is not moving. The tongue is touching our lower teeth, and when we say "Ram," then the tongue is touching the palate. But when we awake that energy from the Manipūra Chakra, then it’s coming Rām, Rām, Rām. So the tension, what we said is stress, is immediately released and pulled out. Ram Ram. Like a beautiful veil in the temple or in the church. Ram, very good. So this kind of chanting is purifying our body, our mind, and our consciousness. It relaxes us, and the tension disappears. So these are the two techniques, therefore it is said, "Pothā paḍh paḍh jug bhaiyā." You were reading so many literatures, ages and ages, or centuries and centuries. "Paṇḍit bhaiyā na koī," but you didn’t become that spiritual one. But you found the roots of that. Rām Om, Rām Om. Very good. Today is too much now. It will come next. So, in that way, our energy, the Kuṇḍalinī, will awaken in such a way that you will not realize anything, that Kuṇḍalinī is awakened, but it will function in you. Your words, your thoughts, your look, your touch—different.
