Nothing in our life happens by chance. It is said that if a person hears holy words, he is lucky. And if a man can hear such holy words all the time, we can call that happiness. It means he had good karma in his previous life. And if he has a guru, then he had very good karma in his previous life. I think, probably, I had good karma in my previous life, because I received your blessings and discipleship. It was not many years ago, but I received it. So I think, and I hope, that I did have good karma, because a few years ago I did get your blessing and became your disciple. Now I am a lazy disciple, but before, I was a good example that if you practice yoga in daily life regularly, you can attain many things. On a physical level, I had a severe case of asthma, which I almost overcame. I can now speak publicly, I can work, even in administration. But I cannot convey to you what will happen on a spiritual level if you truly perform what our master tells you. I cannot even explain what will happen spiritually if you follow the words of my Master. What would happen to you is pure magic. And that our teacher, our guru, is here in our town—it is the biggest gift we can get in this life. Trust me, there are no people here who come just by chance. As our teacher said, and I like to repeat to my students: only the grain that gets into the land of the righteous gives fruits worthy of the one who planted it. I would like to repeat the words of my Master: the seed that comes to the good soil gives fruits and represents the one who did plant the seed in the ground. Let me thank him and give this symbolic gift, our author’s work, to our master, a Cherkasyan known all over the world, a respected teacher. I thank him for the work of this craftswoman, which is well known around the whole world. The head of the administration is on holiday now, so I take the responsibility to pass this gift to our master. My dearest Master, we receive this gift with our gratitude from your disciples. Disciples—maybe some of us are a little bit lazy—but from your disciples, from our whole hearts, let this gift remind you of Śikṣā Cāpāsā, wherever you are. I am very surprised and happy to see our juniors’ demonstration according to the yoga. The children perform each and every āsana very precisely, very concentrated. These children, they are the culture of tomorrow. So they are also the yoga in daily life. We are all getting by somehow, but we need this new generation. Children are the culture of tomorrow; children are the success of tomorrow. The direction in which children will go is the direction our country and our world will go. The direction humanity will go is according to our culture. We know what hope our grandparents had. They worked very hard, they were protecting the culture of Ukraine, they were keeping their traditions, they protected their families, and they protected the country. I am very happy, and I ask our Divine Masters to protect our children for their good education and for them to be good humans. At the same time, I admire you, the parents, those who bring the children. It’s very easy, but the children are like a ball of clay, and the parents make the form of the children to become great heroes. We know we have many things in this world to do, but first is our duty that we give into the children’s hands such a culture, traditions, spirituality, etc. When you get a child, then you should know, now you have that very great duty. So we shall bring up our children in such a way that they always have good habits. They should not go to the kuṣaṅga, bad society. They should learn the wisdom. So it is our first priority: love, education, the learning of yoga, and physical, mental, and social health. Yoga is this, that we continue. Yoga is very, very… it is the beginning of the… we are giving very, very… Very smoothly, very peacefully, something like the master gives the education to the student. So whatever we are learning, we are learning from the master. There are different kinds of masters. The first master is the mother and father. The mother was taking care of the child in the womb. She took care of the child as a mother. And the mother gave such a beautiful human. Can you imagine how happy the mother is? She sees the child when he is born, and the father too. What a miracle God has given! And now this, a beautiful, beautiful newborn, it is like a god himself. Now it is in your hands. What will you give them to eat? What education will you give them? Etc. So, it is said the first master or guru is the mother and father. Second, your friends, with whom children are playing. What you learn from the children, the children learn from the children. So, what we call that is we are having the kindergarten or nursery school. What kind of education are you giving them? Nowadays, it is very rare that they give the human knowledge and education. They were learning about God, about humans, about creatures, and what they should learn to be good. The second and third gurus are our school teachers. And what that teacher will teach you will remain for your whole life. And so you learn how to write, learn, read, etc. Then you come to the higher school, the college. Mahāprabhujī Karatā, Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Karatā, Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Karatā, Mahāprabhujī. And definitely, they will teach us good things. And we should follow and follow the path. After that is the spiritual master, what we call the guru. That gives the instructions and education of spirituality. After all, for what are you born? Of course, we are working for survival. But we are not born to earn money, millions and millions. What will you do with the money? You will eat only two to three pieces of bread or chapati. How much will you eat? But what will you do with that money? If you are earning money, then don’t put it in the bank, but give it to the poor people. Give for the children, for the schools, because that is our future. So this way we have to learn from the spiritual master. It is said, everything, whatever you have, you will leave it here. This body is temporary. We know that we are getting old. And we know that we are getting different kinds of diseases, and we try to get medicine, we try to do something good, but my dear, sooner or later, this body will remain on the earth. And you will see that your body is like your dress, which is just given to the laundry. You will have a new dress, so we will give up this physical body. It is not easy to give up the body. We know that we are suffering; we have so many different, what we call, diseases. But the self, the ātmā, says, "How long will you keep this body? How long will you try to give medicine to this illness? One day it’s gone." That time when the soul goes out of the body, then you have peace. We know we have a house, we have parents, partners, children, grandparents, friends. You have your house, your money. You will take care of your house, thinking which color you will give your house, but it will be. So this body is like water in the palm. How long will you keep the water in your palm? One by one, drop, it will go away. But God gave us this body to learn something, to know something. Why is this soul moving in the universe? This suffering. Maybe your wife is not good to you, or your husband is not good to you. Or this and that, but we are struggling. But when you go out of the body, you laugh. Why was I struggling for so many years? Now I can breathe. This body is gone. We see our children, we smile and bless them. Have a nice life. Your money, your house, everything is gone. And if we come to this space, there is your soul, your astral body, etc. Until then, we will see tomorrow how it’s happening. But you see, as soon as the soul goes out of the body, it’s like when a star, you know, how fast that star falls down, very quick, you say, "Oh, that’s God," and so you are gone. And we are crying here, and we take it to the graveyard, etc. We make ceremonies, and we go again to the grave, but that’s all. It is gone. So, for what are you here? Create something good, that you will have good again. The karma, what we call, the karma will go with, destiny will go with us, but nobody will go with you. Even two persons die at the same time, or few people die together, in an accident or something, they are not going together. It is just like that. So, what do we want to do now? We search for that guru, that master. And my dear, master is only once. There can be many gurus. You can listen to their knowledge. There is nothing wrong. But you have only one life. You have only one father. We can accept others also like a father, but the real father is only that. And mother also, it is that mother who is nine months and gives you birth, so then only one mother. You were not born at once with two mothers. We can tell every lady, like my mother, they are like our sisters, brothers, etc. But only one father, one mother. It is said, who knows Kṛṣṇa, who knows the Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, will understand what is the Bhagavad Gītā. If you don’t know Krishna, you don’t know what the Bhagavad Gītā is. Similarly, it is said, only a mother knows who the father is. Nobody knows, only the mother. Similarly, you have one Guru, and that’s all you want. That is in your seed, blessings in your soul. And that will guide you further. Don’t think that my master has high power or miracles. Master, do not search for that. Do not search for miracles. I want to have samādhi. Of course, you will have a samādhi. It means you will die. In history, so don’t search. Every father is different. Your father is a railway driver, a railway engineer, a train driver. Adi is an aeroplane. Adi is biking. Adi is a farmer. Adi is a doctor. Why? Okay, but you don’t see my father, professor. My father. So don’t see the profession of your father; you have only one father, and one father alone. So God has created such a system and given enough space. There are many, many fathers, similarly many gurus, so don’t think that this guru needs more power, this guru has one siddhi, that has this, then you are lost and the guru is lost. Don’t think that this guru has such siddhas, that this guru has such siddhas; otherwise, you will just get lost. The real guru will ask you when you want to have a guru. Then the master will say, "Have you another guru? The mantra from others?" Then you will say, "But I think he was not powerful." He said, "No, he was more powerful than me, because only he is your teacher." Please understand this, and so the generation is developing. That’s it. So your father, your mother, your sister, and your brother give you the education. They gave you education. Similarly, whom you accepted as a spiritual master, but it should have a spiritual lineage. Our spiritual lineage is Alakhpurījī, which is from the many, many Satyugas. On whose name is it, which is what we call Alaknanda? Until Alaknanda does not enter or join the Ganga, that river will be called only Bhagirathi. And when comes the Alaknanda? They meet in one place called Devapriyakha in the Himalayas, then become one Gaṅgā. Similarly, there is mother and father, then you are complete. It doesn’t matter what you think. After somebody else took the child, the mother was still the mother. Similarly, in spirituality. And don’t hurry, don’t hurry. Wait for the right time. Don’t think that now I want to have self-realization. It’s always something that you… Let’s say that you have some disease, and the doctor will say you will die in a few months, but you don’t want to die in a few months. "Please let me live longer. I want to live longer. Please, live longer." Similarly, keep your human life, human education, and human qualities, and we want to live long on this earth. So, otherwise, those who are running about, "Guru and guru, and I will give you mantras, and I will give you some vṛttis, and I will give some yantra and mantras and yantras." Okay, you can take, you have to go to nursery school, private school, middle school, high school, college, the university, but your father is that other one. So you learn that, but your father is your father, and your mother is your mother. So remain there with all your roots. And one day will come that kind of master or guru, which is known as a Siddha, that kind. They are still there. They are above the physical body. So, yoga, what we have here is we want to live happy and healthy. That we can do good things for others. And we can give good things to our children. And we live healthy, and therefore it’s called Yoga in Daily Life. You know that Yoga in Daily Life, around the whole world, there is no country where there is no Yoga in Daily Life. Even I don’t know, but you know, this instrument in many, many countries, they are learning this now. What I am talking about? Yoga in their life. So you all here in Charkasī, I wish you all the best and learn that. I hope you learned that. Do not say, "My guru this," or, "I want to have another guru," or, "I have another guru." You can have other men and other men and other men, but you have only one father; others are only men. Do you understand? Did you understand? Raise your head up. If you understood, raise your head up. Yes, even the children understood. Thank you. So with this, I am very happy to see you, and time went very quickly. But I am always coming here to see you. And you have here your sister Umā Purī Jī. She is a very good teacher. And follow her, so given her, the Ukraine gave the, from my side, as after me the master qualities, what is Umma Purījī, and so that is, of course, many my disciples will come, they will also give you education, but I give someone, and of course, if you don’t like, it’s okay, but she is only a medium, and I’m also a medium. It’s Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and only Purījī. We are all disciples, but we shall remain, hold the roots. That’s it. If we give water to the leaves, it will not remain too long. But if we give the water to the roots, it will get to the whole tree. Āśram, the branches, the leaves, blossoms, and fruits. So, I wish you all the best, and tomorrow’s program will continue.
