Part 1: A Welcome and a Reflection on Time and Purpose Who visited us today? As you know, he has a very busy program, and still he took his time to come to Szeged. It has been forty years since his first visit to Szeged. The seed which he planted has already sprouted and is now growing well. We are very thankful for his visit. We have the teaching from Swāmījī that it does not matter if the guru thinks of his disciple or the disciple thinks of his guru. In both cases, the karmas are burnt. We are happy that he was thinking of us and came to us, and we are waiting for his teaching. We are very happy for his darśan, and we would like to express our gratitude with the praṇāma, as an Indian tradition. Śānti! Śānti!... Salute to the Cosmic Light, Lord of our hearts, omniscient and omnipresent. In the divine presence of the Cosmic Self, dear sisters and brothers, welcome. Welcome, all the organizers and our dear Paṇḍitjī from India, who was reciting the mantras. We had this weekend in Romania. It was a beautiful program, with many, many people. The city mayor was with me all the time. We had a beautiful ashram; it was the inauguration of the ashram. I was thinking already one month ago to come to Szeged for a weekend, but somehow my time did not allow it. But I said I would like to come and see you all, bless you all, including my very dear ones from Serbia. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this place. I am very happy to see all of you. Forty years passed quickly. It looks like yesterday. Thanks to our dear Bhakta, your Guru-brother Kṛṣṇānand from Budapest and his wife Amṛtānand. They were the pillar of this entire organization. I did not know that it has already been forty years. Kṛṣṇānandajī told today, time passes. It is forty-eight years in Europe, Western countries, and other countries, and the science of yoga in daily life is acknowledged, and it is the one system around the whole world. I have been invited this time to Boston University for a big conference on science, yoga, and cancer, as well as to many functions at the United Nations Headquarters. All in all, it is the blessings of Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī. I am all the time a servant. I do my best to serve on this earth. Many projects: projects to save the bees, save the birds, plant trees, and harvest water. The best water harvesting project was acknowledged very much in the United Nations, as well as the teaching of yoga and daily life in India, and we are giving education to poor children from poor families. We call them Gyānaputras, and we are bringing nearly 800 students from the neighboring villages of Jādaṇ. We bring them by bus, give them free education, and then bring them back to their homes. The protection of the lost animals, cows—more than 2,500 cows—we are protecting them. So it is around our world. A big project in Australia. About 10,000, no, 10 million trees planted in the desert area of South Australia. In Fiji, often there is disaster, cyclones, where our institution is constantly helping them. The biggest earthquake in Nepal, where also our organization of Yoga in Daily Life from the whole world was supporting them very much. Also, there was an earthquake in India. So, besides the yoga practice, there is a lot of activity going on, and this is only through the help of all of you. Without you, I am nothing. I am just trying to organize. So, I thank very much all my bhaktas around the world, and our Om Ashram is very soon going to have an opening ceremony. So, that’s why it’s very hard to have one weekend free, and also the Indian needs me also. So, it’s not so easy. But, you are in my heart, you are in my memories, you are in my thoughts, and I am happy to see all of you here. I do believe that you are all healthy and that you have a good atmosphere in your home, in your country, and in your city. Mahāsāya, so the forty years in Szeged is a memory. I have a big memory. And it was a long drive from Budapest to here. There were no highways. So it was, and meanwhile in the whole of Hungary there are so many ashrams and centers in Budapest and everywhere in Hungary. So Kṛṣṇānand has many, many friends who are helping him. So, I’m very happy that thousands, even millions, of people around the whole world gain good health, happiness, and spiritual development. Life is flowing like a river. When you go to the river, you cannot bathe twice. You cannot dip in a second time in that water. You have a very big Tisza here, you have a very big Danube. You try to dip in the river, you come out, you cannot dip a second time in the same water, because we go down and come out, and the water is gone five meters away or ten meters away, and again comes new water. So similarly, every second of our life is changing. Our life is changing. It doesn’t matter how much you use cosmetics or how much you color your hair; you will not become young again. You may try to think with your good dress and good makeup, and now you look like you are young, so the time is changing. Our time is passing, so either you use it or you lose it. You have the chance to use something good for your health, for your happiness and joy, but spiritual development—yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul. Whatever you want to achieve, do it now, just now. After one second, it’s gone. Again, you have to come anew. So, you know, many times I used to say, 8.4 million different creatures are just passing their life, eating, sleeping, and creating children. Khāṇā, Pīnā, Bhojanā, Paśubhī, Param, Sudhānā. Eating, creating children, and sleeping—every creature is doing this. Oh man, if you do only this, you are wasting your life. Human life is the most precious. We should clean our antaḥkaraṇa. Antarākaraṇa means our inner actions. Antaḥkaraṇa, the activities, the desires, whatever you are feeling to do, it is from within. That Antaḥkaraṇa is known as that: Manas, Buddhi, Citta, and Ahaṃkāra. Manas, Buddhi, Citta, and Ahaṃkāra. Manas is the mind, your mind. But do you know where your mind is? In which part of the body are you? Are you sure that you have a mind inside? Did you ever see your mind? Did you ever catch your mind? You said, "I changed my mind." How did you change your mind? We don’t know. Mind is just like a reflection. Your face is reflecting in the mirror, and you see yourself. You have some spot on your face, and you try to clean that spot on the face on the mirror. You look again, it’s still there. Again you are making and cleaning, but that spot does not remove. So is the mind. Man maraṇ mamatā marī, man mar gayā śarīr, āśā tṛṣṇā na marī, keh ge dāsā Kabīr. Man maraṇ mamatā marī—the mind will never be killed. You cannot control your mind. And on the day when you will control your life, the mind is finished. This is all the time, but we don’t know, because we cannot control the mind. Because the mind is caught by mamatā. Mamatā. Mamatā means the desire. Attachment. We have attachment to our body, attachment to our teeth, attachment to our nice hair, nice dress. How many times do you look in your mirror? And then, furthermore, mamatva. Mamatva vahid dukhōṁ kā kāraṇa hai. Mamatva means this attachment is the cause of all problems. Man maraṅ, mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīra. This attachment will not be killed. Mar mar gayā śarīra, the body will die. Manamaraṇa Mamata Mari, Marmar Gaya Śarīr, Asa Triṣṭana Mari. These two things you have not purified or cleaned? Āśā, hope, I hope, yes, I hope I will get a good flat, I will get a good house, I will get some money, I will get a husband, I will get a good wife. All the hope, hope, hope. Hope is a walking stick. Hope is a walking stick from the cradle to the grave. So our hope is going with us from birth till death. But you did not fulfill us. We are tṛṣṇā. And there is another desire, tṛṣṇā. You are thirsty. You are thirsty. And you see on the highway road. There is water lying somewhere. There must be water somewhere. Because on the road, there is water about 100 meters away, 50 meters away. And you are driving a car at 150 kilometers, 130 kilometers per hour. Very nice, clean water. But as close as you go, that far goes the water. It is like a horizon. What is a horizon? How do we express it? So it is, the horizon is that. As close you go, that far it goes, so that you can never achieve it. Tṛṣṇā, that is a tṛṣṇā. A deer, an animal deer, in the desert land, the Sahara land, in a very hot summer, and the deer sees far a lake. It’s a beautiful lake, a beautiful lake, and that animal is running and running to go drink water, but it’s not there. He will die, he will fall down, but he will not get the water, because there is no water. So similarly, our inner desire will kill us. Āśram, tṛṣṇā, nāhaṁ harī, kahā gayā dāsa kāma, and so a great saint said that this, your hope, will not be fulfilled. Then what happens within us? Comes the negative thinking that we always put the bad thoughts on others. Did we think about our own self? So, this human life is very complicated. We give up, and we do what we want. Yes, you have your freedom. You can do it. But we know that karma will come back to us. 8.4 million creatures are suffering with karma. They don’t create any more karma. It will not be counted to the animal’s actions because they don’t have that buddhi, they don’t have that intellect. But God has given freedom to the human. But it is said, O man, whatever you are doing, it will be counted as karma. Tan se, man se, bachan se, dhan se. Tan, man, bachan, aur dhan. There are four through which we can do the karma action. Tan through the body, man through the mind, bachan through the words you speak, and dhan, your property. That all your wealth, all your good things, I am, I am, I have a good car, oh man. This is just like water bubbles. The bubbles, what will you then at the end of your life? With what will you gain? You go again to the other creatures, or according to your karma, it will go down. In Christianity, you said the heaven, the hell, and there is one in German they said. Phage Fire. Do you know what that is? Phage Fire? What is that? Between, between. So you are neither in heaven nor in hell. You will be tortured in between until there is empty space in hell, and hell is so overfilled. That’s why, until you will not come to the hell, you will be tortured there. We can’t say. Please don’t do it, and no one can help us. Neither mother nor father, nor husband nor wife, nor children nor friends. Yes, my dear. Nowadays in the hospital, the person is old. And what do they do? There is no treatment. And they put this person in the dying room. Dying room. We don’t know what it is, how it is. Do not push your father, your mother, your uncle, or anybody. Don’t push them in the date room. Take them in your arms. Be with your mother. Once the child said to the mother, "Mother, what can I do for you? What can I give you, mother? Mother, look, I have a good shop, a big business, everything. What can I give you, mother?" Mother said, "My son, a mother never asks anything from her children." I have no desire to take anything from you. Part 2: The Essence of Humanity and the Path of Yoga Give me the chance to love you forever. That is a mother. But if you want that, what does a mother need from you? A mother says, "My child, when you were born, I was with you. So when I die, my child, I have only one desire: that you should be with me." For a mother, the child is like a god. And for the children, their parent is like a god. This is called a human. Many animals are also like this till the end of their life. We are not born to go to some other land. That God gave everything. It is He who gives the food, from the small ant till the big elephant. Who are we that we can feed? Mother Earth has given everywhere for us to eat, but we have to come to that higher consciousness. We have to come to liberation. Who am I to judge you, and who are you to judge somebody as bad or good? First, clean thyself, my dear. Otherwise, you will be between hell and heaven, that torturing while living. You will be tortured. Do you believe or not? Read the Bible. How many good instructions for us we have. How Jesus was suffering, but he didn’t say anything wrong to you. He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." So human life, the human soul, is completely different from other creatures, and for this we need not go anywhere. Just where you are, do good things through your thoughts, through your actions, through your words, and whatever you know. How the name of God or mantra, like your breath, ascending, descending the breath. So with inhalation and exhalation, only pure, pure thoughts should go in our breath, and our name of the God in which you believe. Otherwise, we, with the criticizing, greedy, running, again we are lost. So, at present in this Kali Yuga, it is unbelievable, and everyone will say, "Ah, we don’t want to go to the church, we don’t want religion, we don’t believe in God, we just eat, drink, and sleep." Oh humans, do something more than this. Yoga is the science of the human body, mind, soul, and consciousness. The yoga science is given by Svayaṃbhu, that Śiva. Ages and ages, we don’t know how far. And he gave the science of yoga for humans to become truly human and attain liberation, to become as Śiva. Śiva means ātmā. Śiva means the whole universe. Śiva means the one-ness. Śiva means that which you call God. It is not something like that. He has no mother and no father. He manifested it. He is the first time. At that time, there were no religions. When then only called the Sanātana Dharma. In this Kali Yuga came the different religions. It’s good, very good, in their language, in their culture, in different things. So how they believe, let it believe; how they worship, let it worship, but with... The devotion, therefore, our Holy Gurujī said, "Enter the kingdom of God through the gate of sacrifice." Sacrifice yourself, so do practice. It is said that health is not everything. But everything is nothing without health. As healthy as you are, you can do better. And if we are ill, we can’t do it; we are limited. And now, 99.9% of humans are not healthy because of the way of nourishment, the way of society, the way of desires, etc. So, āsanas and prāṇāyāmas again bring into our body that kind of energy that makes every organ automatically healthy. Therefore, it is said the first wealth is good health. Āyurveda said, "The first happiness, the first joy, the first pleasantness is good health." And we are losing our health every day. So I can suggest you, after 40 years, once more, practice every day one and a half hours of āsana and half an hour of prāṇāyāma. Try four months, and then tell me how you feel. Because I see your faces, many faces here. You are not practicing every day. Sorry to say, unfortunately. But there are some who have a light on their face. So, in four months, then send me a message through your yoga center. How do you feel? You will say, that was one of the happiest times of my life. But not in two or three days, not in one month. Go ahead, go ahead. After four months, your body will tell you, "Get up and practice." And if you didn’t practice one day, it’s unpleasant. Like when it’s very hot and you are sweating and working, when you come home. What would you like to do? Wash your body. And what did we say? Like a newborn. That’s it. So, how to purify the body inside? Of course, through sāttvic food. No junk food. Please try to cook at home yourself. Your mother, your father, your wife, or your husband, please cook at home yourself. Once a year, you can go to a restaurant. What will happen? Your economy will come up. Yes. Because if you are five members of the family and you go to the restaurant, what will come up? Whatever you eat or drink, of course, you will give some tip. With that money, you can have one meal for five family members for a whole week, and it is healthy, vegetarian, fresh, and good. You also get family love again. We need a joint family. Don’t tell your children to go out, to go somewhere. Every bird, every animal comes back to its nest in the evening. So bring again the family love. This will be very good. A healthy body with healthy food, and your healthy mind will make you a healthy body and will ask you to have healthy food. Our mind is brilliant. I never said only a healthy body has a healthy mind. The body is not healthy, but your mind, your intellect, is brilliant. So practice and apply it. Do it for one year for me. Even if you are angry with me, no problem. He said, "I will not eat anywhere for one year." If you have no time to come home to eat, then consider it a fasting day. Good? But no junk food, my dear. No junk food. Don’t put junk foods in your body. Automatically, your spirituality will come up. So yoga, it’s called Atha yogānuśāsanam. Atha yogānuśāsanam means yoga begins with discipline. Then you will be great, and great in one year you will see you are something great. It doesn’t matter if you meditate or not, go to prayer or not, but do this yoga and be good. Health, nourishment, that’s it. Yoga will make you great, healthy, long life. Enjoy life. And automatically you will not do anything negative, because your inner voice will come, saying to do good things. And other things we need the lineage, the path, our spiritual lineage. Many of you know that our spiritual lineage is Alakhpurījī Siddha Pīṭha. Alakh Purījī is from Satyuga, and the great range of the Himalayas is known as Alakh Purījī’s kingdom. The capital of Alakh Purījī is near Badrināth, and there is a great flowing river named after Alakh Purījī. It is called the Alaknandā River. On the other side is coming Bhagīrathī. Both meet together in Devaprayāg, and then it becomes Gaṅgā, the complete Gaṅgā. I was searching for Alakhpurījī’s cave, Devpurījī’s cave, and our dear Dr. Shanti, Swami Shanti, and she is 12 years, now 13 years, she was searching in the Himalayas for where Alakhpurījī’s cave is. And she found it. Devpurījī’s Tapasya Gufā is at 5600 or 7000 meters height, and Alakhpurījī’s Gufā is at 3650 meters height, and that is written by Dev Mahāprabhujī in his one book about Devpurījī’s Tapasya there and Alakhpurījī. So, you are welcome to go and see there. So, after all this, when Dr. Shanti gave the evidence, then I went. So, there is one very beautiful book written by one great poet in Sanskrit. It’s called Kavi Kālidāsa. You can go to your library at your university, and you will find it. And Kavi Kālidāsa was 2,300 years before, and he wrote one book, it’s called the Meghadūta. Mega is a cloud, and Duta is an ambassador. His message was going that time through the clouds, and in that book he is writing, in a few places he is mentioning the Alakhpurījī. So it is a great, if you have interest, you are welcome to go. There is only one cave, only rocks and stones. The Government of India does not want to build anything there. No pollution, but you can go there and see. Now, this year, more than 300 people are going with me—300 people and 50 from the company who are going with us. So it is a great tent. There is no electricity. There is no telephone range. Nothing. Only blue sky and the sound of the mountain Himalaya. And from there, the Alaknandā is flowing. Midnight, you should come out of your tent. And there you will know what experiences you are getting. There is a holy place called Badrināth, and when I first went there, this Badrināth holy place where every day thousands or millions of people come, they had priests and organizers. They invited me, and then I told them that I am going to Alakhpurījī’s gufā, the cave, and they said, "You are that, that’s your lineage," and then they told me something about experiences. But at that time when I went, they said, "Don’t make any fire." So I said, no pūjā? Okay. No, this incense, Agarbatī? Okay, but no cooking, no tea, nothing. We brought a lot of things to eat, so they said you can donate it to people. And that head priest, he gave me 20 kilos of dry fruits, almonds, cashews, and other things, and other people also gave gifts. Second, he said, "Do not sleep between 12 and 1 at night." I said, "What will happen? That we don’t know." But something you will experience, and we did. We did. We did experience. Suddenly, in the mountains, something like flames was coming. Many ṛṣis. If you are lucky, yes. Otherwise, you will have rain, rain, rain. Spend the time in the tent, cold, meaning, oh, oh,... oh. Only you can warm yourself. It’s the Himalaya, tapasyā. So, my disciples who have a mantra from me, they are linked automatically to Alakhpurījī from Śiva’s time. So Dr. Shanti is writing a book on it, and I hope that very soon you will get the book. Our dear Muktānand from Nobisat made beautiful pictures and some videos. Of course, you can see sometimes. So, my dear, what I was searching for, what I was born for, and what I wanted to realize, I got it. And what I got, I give it to you, Alakhpurījī. Devpurījī, then Mahāprabhujī and Horī Purī. So you have to research, you have to go there. So, my dear, there are many things to tell, but I tell you one thing. Be healthy, be happy, be good, and never think negative of anybody. If you can give only good things, then do so; otherwise, don’t do anything. But practice exercise, no junk food, cook at home. And your economy will go up, and your family love, your family will be very together. Go to the Ashram, practice, practice at home with all this. Thank you. God bless you, Mahāprabhujī bless you, Devpurījī, Śrī Gurujī. Alakhpurījī’s photo is not there. I didn’t go to Devpurījī’s Gufā. Gufā means the cave. Some way, now my body does not resist, nearly 6,000 meters, but you young people can do it. Alakhpurījī’s Kufa, it is. Himalaya is something, and Himalaya is calling you. Yes, all the best. Om Śrī Dīp Nār Bhagavān Kī Hari Om.
