In the village, where was your house? Where were your parents, your grandparents? We are bound, not by force, but with love—to my place. It is said that at sunset, every bird comes to the nest. Similarly, all people used to come to their house, to their parents. There are some historical buildings here, maybe in Atlanta. We call it a historical building. And now here, you have a house. You bought a house, and then… you got a job in San Francisco. You said, "My house is there." After two years, you also left from there. You went somewhere else. We don’t know where our roots are. We have no roots now. Even the animals come to their ancestors. I was in Brazil, and in Brazil there is this rainforest, very big. Unfortunately, now we are chipping it off. I’m bringing somehow this feeling and thoughts, which will definitely give energy in your body. That’s why I’m telling this. Otherwise, why should I go to Brazil? So I asked them, "Why are you destroying the whole rainforest? And what are they putting? Other plants. This is a eucalyptus from Australia, and those trees…" It consumes lots and lots of water. For example, our one big tree needs maybe 20 liters. When it is a very, very big tree, then maybe 20 liters, maybe not. But that eucalyptus tree needs about 50 liters. It sucks the water from the earth and also from the air. That’s why Australia has no water, and it’s only on the coast. There is only… Australia, sorry, not Austria. Excuse me, my Australian friends, sorry. So it is such a great building of land, very big, but there is nothing, little bush. I asked them, "Why did you chip off the rainforest and plant this?" They said, "Well, this is commercial." Commercial wood for the construction of buildings. Now, what happened there? Many, many creatures died. There, where I went in the forest, I planted another tree. I was there, and they saw me in the evening: the monkeys, some kind of monkeys. One monkey is sitting before sunset, about half an hour, one hour before, sitting like this. That one is the grandfather or mother of the monkeys. Now, from the forest, from different sides, the monkeys are coming. Every monkey comes, the youngest one, goes and hugs and gives a kiss. Really, I was surprised. They all came. If one was not still there, the old one is sitting there and looking like this and looking like that. So they also have love: animals, all birds, even the little ant. When you see the ant, wait a minute and sit for a few minutes. You will see the ants are coming. They are going this direction, and they are coming this direction. You will see that each other, before going, they kiss them. Really. One ant stops, the other stops, and, in my opinion, they kiss each other and then they go. A little bit. And that makes the happiness. That makes the happiness, and the happiness is in our heart. But the other heart will bring this happiness together. So with two hands we can make many things. We can make a sound, or we can say that this is you and this is me. We both are together, one as God, one in our heart. So we don’t need anything, we don’t need anything but just a smile. Just that. Hi, that’s it. Many times people say, "How are you?" "Yes, okay, thank you." But that "yes, okay, thank you" is it, and they are gone. So nowadays, I don’t want to criticize God. God, give me again blessing. Maybe I was not on the correct track, but there are some… People, they don’t see. Want to see you? You come and you go. In your house, I’m living somewhere now in one house, and neighbors have a little nice dog. The dog comes out, was making noise, yeah, and the person from the house was waiting until we went in. They quickly took the dog and went inside. On the other side, there is the deck, so I was there. The dog came out like that. Now I said… my friend said, "Okay, I am a person." From a far distance, I would do nothing. I said, "Don’t talk, talk to the dog." But then, when I went in, within one second, he took the dog and went away. So why do we humans have no harmony or understanding? We know that we kill many animals, but not only animals, we are killing each other, humans. So where is that? We don’t want to do anything, but we have… We are trying to protect ourselves because we don’t know what kind of person will do what. That’s very… so yoga is this: first, open your heart, open your feelings, and just say, "How are you?" And they will say, "How are you?" Okay, that’s all, okay. "Oh, how are you? Oh, it’s very nice weather. Very good. Today is this. Yes, okay, bye-bye." We are on the surface. We should go deep in. Begin with our family. We shall begin with the family, with the neighbors, with the friends, etc. And therefore, this yoga is what we have to first listen to ourselves. And it is love, or something, but it must not be that you go and hug, must not be that you go and give the kiss, left side and right side. Don’t do it. Maybe you can do it with whom you know, but that’s lions and tigers. But they need love also. They are afraid. The most dangerous creature on the earth is the human, and all other animals are afraid of the humans. The bird will sit on the top of the tiger or the lion, but will not come close to the humans. Though these birds don’t know you and you don’t know them, and you are looking and happy, but still the birds do not trust us. They feel the energy. We can, from far, we shall see the tigers. We love them, they are nice, this, that. And love is the difference. And so, love is as far as you go; that much comes more to us than love. When there is an attachment with fear, then as far as you go, that far you get a distance from your love or something. So if you are loving your child and your child is now in China, but still your heart is connected: "My child is there." Your child means your son is 50 years old, why not? Your mother or father, they are 100 years old, and your child is 80 years old. But still, this is your child, not like that. We have to get this feeling that it is still your child, definitely. We always said, when we come, we say, "Mom, Mom, we say, Mother, how are you? Mom, how are you?" We have the relation, but somehow we break it. There are some who don’t even send a message, a letter, or anything. They don’t know if they are in Chicago, or maybe they are in Hawaii, or they are somewhere in India or in Africa. We don’t know where your child is, and we don’t feel that love is gone. So now we have to bring it back to ourself in such a way that you bring it into your heart. But there is a problem, there’s a problem: selfishness. And so I think, our sister… who’s sitting here in the middle? We offer you, please, one chair. You come and take a chair, yeah, okay. Because I see that she’s a little bit, yeah, yeah. Thank you, yes, sister. Thank you, that’s good. Help her, okay. So that it is within us, our feelings. We were talking about… we should talk about the cakras, and you have this on the picture, this and this is a little one, big one, yeah. So they are different cakras, and so there are many, many cakras, and that you definitely will still not understand. They are… This is a cakra, meaning some kind of energy, let’s say the energy in different parts of the body. So this is a cakra; it’s called the Mūlādhāra Cakra, at the end of the spinal column. In the human spinal column, till the neck, there are five centers like this. In each center, there is energy inside. This energy, even if you make an operation—let’s say you make an operation, take some muscles out or some bone changes or something, if we change our nerves also—then you will think there is no kuṇḍalinī, no cakra. No, no, energy is there. Energy will be as long as our soul is in our body. Even you have an operation, but there is energy all the time. You know, they began from Russia. One person was making an experiment, and he cut the leaf of the tree, a big leaf, a triangle. And then made a picture. So this, which is empty space, which took away the part of the leaf, they are left and right side. Energy is still flowing like this. So, all kinds of love, even the nervous systems are in that. So, when we have in our body any part of the body we cut, but energy is there. Energy is there. Now, this is, of course, that a lot of things we will not make. A little confusion, you know, because there are too many things. There are symbols, what it means according to the Indian mythology and the spiritual part of the whole body. Research only this one center, the cakra is called Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla is the root where our spine is ending down, and there is an energy between animals and humans. So yesterday I was talking in the temple that our energy begins with our foot soles. All the centers from the brain are in the foot soles, connected from here to here, and from here to here. Definitely, definitely. Now, this is the roots and the brain on the top. If the roots are gone, the brain is gone. But if you have cut the brain, still the roots will remain. Energy will remain. So this cakra on our foot soles, I would advise you, and definitely, everyone… Have you only an apartment or a flat, a house? Who has the house? Yes, that’s very good. You also have a house. No, no… He has houses, yeah, and who doesn’t? Then you have the yoga mat. Now, make in your garden somewhere about like this: a yoga mat or something like this, two or three meters long and one meter wide. Put some sand and walk more, 10 meters only. And when is it minus degrees? Very cold, and you go without shoes and socks. Try. You are going. What can I do for you more? Oh, sister, yes. You have some fruit? Just one minute, please. Yes, nuts. Give it. Nuts, yes. Yeah, give it to her, please. Thank you. Now try. These techniques are very, very cold and frozen, and you take your shoes off and go to this sand and walk on it for five minutes. In the beginning, oh, cold, cold, cold. But after, it becomes so hot in your foot soles, you will feel very good. The cold is not here anymore because all the heat comes. And this heat is that some kind of energy which we don’t need. And other energy is coming as a protection to my body. So just walk for those few minutes. In summer, of course, you can walk for a little longer. So these are the cakras. Very, very… A person like me, what can I tell you about me? Hardly I sleep one week in one bed, or in one bed, because I’m here ten days, five days here, five days in New York, then I’m in Singapore, and then I’m in London, then I’m in India. So all the time… There I cannot carry sand with me, too, but when there is a chance, then I do it. Something so, this is first: is that. And if you have not a garden, or this, put it where you are putting your shoes down. Somewhere there, you should have sand, and you walk on this without shoes and socks, a few minutes walk. It looks how? You will feel very, very good. All the energy is activating now. Second, much better also when there is mud with the water, and this is very magic, not so much that you get stuck in it. Some walk in that mud, earth. Now we call earth, and when we… make this building, I hope that they have put some system, and that we call earthing. Earthing, any building we are doing, all this, uh, 50 stairs or the how big building. Now the clouds, heavy clouds, thundering and lightning, then it’s… It is dangerous that the building will fall down, but there is a very small, yet so powerful, cable. There is one cable from the copper on the top of the building somewhere, and it goes sideways into the earth. We have to make that earthing, that’s called, you know, that earthing. So there we put coal, some coal and some kind of sand, and that is inside. So what happens? Now there are three points coming to the cakra, which I am talking about. Lightning in the sky, and that lightning is coming down to the earth. Many times something burns, many people die, many animals die when this lightning is touching the earth. And when we have earthing, then nothing happens to us either. So this is the sun, and the sun is the solar. And now we have the technology; now they have made it solar panels. What is that? To catch the light from the sun. Similarly, we have earthing from the Earth. And so, on this earth, when we go—but not during when it’s lightning and such, then don’t go—so we are getting energy from the earth, the sun energy. And that’s why many, many diseases can be cured, but we have to stay in one place. Or somewhere you go, so that you can go to another village or a city, you can. Everywhere is earth; you can walk with earth. Second, what is our connection? Here is sitting some doctors. Here is sitting one doctor, and these doctors, they have all different kinds of glands, we can say. Let’s say glands, and we call them the cakras. So there is a navel, our navel. Our life begins from the navel. And that soul, that our real soul with the nectar, is in the navel here. And this level is that in your doctor’s medical, they said, the solar plexus, yes, the solar plexus. And why don’t they say "solar plexus" here? Why not here? But why here? Because here is the very beginning, the seed, the light came. And that is still that here. In the mother’s body, we develop our body here. But the solar plant is there. If that goes, the embryo will not grow anymore and will die. So this is the solar plexus, and so this is the solar plexus. We talk about the solar panels, and the second we call the nābhi, and nābhi is our navel, and this navel is connected to our sun. Now you will say, "No, Swamījī, what are you talking about?" Okay, I can give you an example. I have this telephone, and you also have one. And the center, where this internet or whatever you call it is, is somewhere far. It’s there, but the energy is connected to my instrument. So it doesn’t matter if it’s night or day, where the range is, I am life. Similarly, this solar connection from light to this, we are life. And when this is connected, it’s gone, then it’s finished. So when this signal comes, then the battery is gone away; we need to recharge. But it is still there for a few minutes, and similarly, when we have a problem with this solar plexus, then cancer, for example, so there, if there is a cancer somewhere in the other part of the body, doctor… will operate this and that, but solar plexus they will not operate. Do they operate? No, you cannot operate that. And we try to do the healing, but every doctor will say, "Come home, enjoy life some days, some weeks, hardly maybe one or two months, that’s all." And so painful. So, from the… medicine, what we take, this is not chemotherapy, no, no… yeah, so that we don’t feel the pain so much, painkiller. And painkiller, we are getting more and more, but this lamp is slowly, slowly… go on. So, in yoga techniques, there is the way, but you have to do this. Believe this, and that you go to working, talking on the earth, and with the hands. Work, work with your garden or something. If you don’t have a garden, then take it. And bring clean earth from the forest, that was earth, and put it in. And you may plant one or two something, but tomatoes or some other vegetables grow. But every day, try to touch this and go. This work on that, definitely it will help you a lot from futsal and from here. And if you don’t get this, go to one big tree, it doesn’t matter which kind of tree, you know, go and touch the trunk of the tree. Don’t think that this person must be like this, yeah, this is a… yeah, that when you go, there’s the visit. So, but it doesn’t matter if they said good or not. What energy is coming from the tree, deep from the earth, and hiding this all, and all the wings. From every side, and it is such an energy coming there in. And you touch here, just touch your hands. One day, two days, three days, but after some days, you will really need, have a need to touch this tree. Now, so this, touching the tree, touching the earth, with the feet, and with the palms, because these are sensitive. So this part of the body is the end of the nerves, and here are the nerves. So when we are here, did we practice last, yesterday, no? We can do now once more. Do like this. Let’s begin. You have to touch the tips of your fingers. Don’t go like this. Like this. Yes. One centimeter distance. And now slowly do this technique. Slowly, hands far and back. Yes? Is there pressure? Is there pressure? If we go like this now, is the needle not moving? One centimeter. Now, change to the other side. There are needles in every direction, this way or that way, or this. Yes? And then we said, "Our tree." Now, close your face down. Open. Come. There is nothing, yes. There is no needles. So, this is your energy, the nine. That my is only God, or the sun and the earth. So, there is no miracle, there is nothing. It is the techniques which we need, so this. It is for the health, which I am saying. And so, this is the solar plexus. One person in India, in Jodhpur, Dejavan Swamījī, he is a nice friend of mine, and he had cancer in his solar plexus, very painful. And the doctor said, "Yes, we will give you medicine and the injection and so on." But then he knew, and the doctor said, "Swamījī, we give you medicine, but 99.9%, your life is about one month or two months." And I got a message, and I went to visit him. We were sitting, of course. We all will say always, "You will be okay, and you will not die," and we are doing you. And then I put my hand like this, in this technique, on his navel. And he said, "Swami, it’s painful." I said, no problem, I will not give pressure, so just gently. And this, exactly this energy was going there. I said, "You should do, Swami, every day, and we pray." And you are also a very great sādhu. Swami, you have many powers. It will be okay, and I can truly tell you, he is healed. It has been two years already, and he was also present at the Kumbh Melā. Therefore, we need faith in ourselves and in nature. If you believe in God—God, and these exercises, movements—everything is within you. Within you is the ocean of bliss, within you is your faith, and within you is your God. Just trust, and you will become one with that. This is very, very important. Now, regarding the nerves I spoke about yesterday: there are 72,000 nerve systems in the body. I think we should make a large chart for this here. There is another picture from the chart showing how the body's engine functions. This chakra is the lowest one, and it is said to be located at the base of the spinal column. We call that God. First, we must worship; first, He has to be worshipped. The first beginning, the first God, is Śiva. Śiva has two sons. There is Gaṇeśa, and before Gaṇeśa is Kārtikeya. The story is very long; I will not tell it. But the youngest one received an elephant head on his body. The story is extensive. In any case, he is known as an elephant. There is a big, beautiful picture here on the chart where he is seated. This is Gaṇeśa, Bhagavān, God Gaṇeśa. He is a son of Śiva, yet he attained a position in the entire universe. The first act should be to remember or worship Gaṇeśa. If you do not remember him first, your work will go wrong. Try it. Even Śiva has to wait; Gaṇeśa comes first. This is from Hindu mythology. Now, this chakra is the Mūlādhāra chakra. There are already many complications at the beginning. But this complication exists because this picture is written only mythologically. In reality, it is not like that. Yet, why is there this connection to that symbol? That is what they are presenting here. Gaṇeśa is a god, and his place is at the bottom of your spinal column, near your anus muscle. When I first learned this, I said, "No, how is it possible? Gaṇeśa cannot be down there." Oh God, I became so agitated. But then others said, "No, it is true." They explained another truth and translated it. They told what it means: without him, no one can hold that. The elephant is one of the strongest and oldest creatures. We pray that it will not die out, because people are killing, humans are killing all animals now. Okay, let's proceed. Why does the elephant appear in the chakra? And why is the elephant white? The white elephant is rare to be seen, and the white elephant is the chariot of Brahmā, God Brahmā. God Brahmā is the creator. Viṣṇu and Śiva are different, but the creator is Brahmā. He has authority over everything. It is like having a prime minister and other ministers, but there is the president. In India, our system is different. Here, the president has presidential power, and we have the prime minister. But the president has the power to stop both sides, and the entire army is in the hands of the president. The president maintains balance and is equal to all. So, Gaṇeśa is the president. I have seen many elephants. Did you see the elephants? Who hasn't shown the elephant in pictures? Did you touch him? I also touched him, but my heartbeat was so high. Yet, when you come close to him, he is so loving. You can hold his trunk and walk with him. Oh God. He exhales through his nose. Once I was holding it during a cold winter. His exhalation was so warm, and of course, dripping water as well. The elephant has one trunk, as we see in the picture. Everyone has seen it. But why is Gaṇeśa in this chakra? He has seven trunks. Many people might say Indians are sometimes not like that. I have not even seen two trunks; no one has. But why here? These are symbols, and it is a kind of—the word doesn't come to me—some kind of symbol with its own meanings. So why seven trunks? Doctors can tell us better. They have performed operations and found no animal, nothing there. But there is one center, one tiny, very tiny gland, and that gland balances our life. When it is gone, you are dead. 100% you die. Even if the solar plexus is okay, it goes. What is that? According to yogic science, there are many books on this. This is called Saptadhātu. Saptadhātu. What is the Saptadhātu? The translation: the seven elements in our body. For example, you need iron in your body. If there is no iron, we have other problems. Similarly, all seven metals in the body are called Sapta-dhātu. Sapta-dhātu means good health, balance, everything. Without this dhātu, you are gone. From where do we get this dhātu? From Prakṛti, nature. Not from animals, not from meat, not from eggs, nothing. But from the grains and vegetation grown from the earth; this is in our body. Now, with more and more meat consumption, people are getting less and less of it. Their life will be shorter, and we know of many problems now. I saw two or three cases on Facebook where children have no legs and no hands. Did you see that? One boy had no hands and no legs, but he studied and got a diploma. He jumps, rolls in the swimming pool, and swims. God gave him some kind of energy and support, but he has no two hands and no two legs. All these chakras, what they speak about—this Kuṇḍalinī and this—it is only one. Here is Brahmā, and here are Brahmā and Sarasvatī, the creator. There is a lotus flower. The lotus is for us a holy and best flower. But this lotus flower mostly grows in very muddy earth. In very clean, good water, it cannot grow. When the flower comes up as a bud and opens, it is so beautiful. When the sun sets, it closes again, and when dawn begins, it opens. These chakras contain four energies and four elements in the body. The Kuṇḍalinī chakra is here in the middle. How this... This is a topic we could talk about for a week. Therefore, do not think that Kuṇḍalinī is something that will awaken and you will feel like, "Hold me, hold me, please hold." This is a mental state. Immediately, we should send such people to the doctor in the hospital. Awakening the Kuṇḍalinī in ourselves is our clear consciousness, our wisdom and clarity, the divine. When you have known these qualities, then it is the Jñāna-dhara Cakra. It has six petals, and there is a crocodile. There was Gaṇeśa, God Gaṇeśa. He did everything. But the second step is a crocodile sitting there. He does not let you go. The chakras from the sole of the foot to the ankle joint represent the earth. From the ankle joint to the knee represents the leg. From the vegetation to the hip joints represent the animals. From the beginning of the spinal column to the throat is the human chakra, a mixture from the animals. The animals, vegetation, and the earth are mixed together. Therefore, though we are human, animalistic tendencies still accompany us. They try to pull you down. But if we are human and we can engage in meditation, prayer, and such practices, you can definitely overcome. Otherwise, this crocodile says, "Aha! Where are you going?" This crocodile can also pull down what we call the elephant. There is a whole book written about this crocodile and elephant. The elephant jumped into swimming. An elephant only feels very light in the water; otherwise, he is very heavy. The crocodile came and caught him, trying to pull him down. Crocodiles also have great strength. In the water, the elephant does not have as much power, though he does have power. This elephant is the one I showed you before, Gaṇeśa. He sits nicely on solid ground, but he comes to the water. Water is emotion. Emotion means motion, moving. Therefore, the principle of water is the moon. The moon is the master of the mind, and our mind changes every minute. Mostly, Americans have taught me something good. They say, "Swamījī, I'm sorry, I changed my mind after one hour. No, Swamījī, I changed my mind, I will come." So always Americans say, "I changed my mind." So I said, "Why don't you first change your body, then change your mind?" You think the mind is easy to say, "Changing." But changing the mind, you do not know how much of your energy is disturbed. That is very important to consider. So the elephant jumped into a beautiful lake, ocean, or wherever. The crocodile from the earth saw him and thought, "Oh, today, a big lunch." He goes and cuts the leg of the elephant. Now he is pulling the elephant down, which is very disappointing and full of fear. He pulls him down and down. The elephant tries to come up, but he is pulled down, down, down. Now his trunk is like that because here is his oxygen and everything, water, but the crocodile still pulls him down. How long will he live? So the elephant prays to God, to Viṣṇu: "Lord, that is my only life. Save me, please save me." It is a story from a very big book. Bhagavān Viṣṇu hears this. Viṣṇu's chariot is Garuḍa, the big bird. He comes running to Viṣṇu. Garuḍa was traveling at high speed, coming to the earth. But still, Hanumān, Gaṇeśa, the elephant, calls to Viṣṇu: "Please come, come. The water is already coming into my nose." What did Viṣṇu Bhagavān do? He left Garuḍa. Though Garuḍa is what we call here a very big bird, an eagle, like an airplane, Viṣṇu said, "Your speed is not enough." Viṣṇu Bhagavān jumped in such a way, caught and killed the crocodile, and saved the elephant. It is a beautiful story. Now, this crocodile is here, my dear. I want to show you, everyone, you are this center. There is a crocodile here, and there are six petals. Each of the six petals represents passion, desire, anger, hate, jealousy, and greed. This is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra, the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra. The lowest part is the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Then comes one point up, the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra. All our energy, and our negative energy, is there. How will you overcome? How will you overcome? This crocodile has caught you. Now only one thing can save you: your willpower, your God, your master. If you save this, then there are no more problems. Then we come up and up. Finally, there is the eighth chakra on the top of the head. Here is Śiva. He is dancing there, above everything, in bliss. Śiva is in this part, half female and half male. What I want to tell you is for us. After all these stories and all that I say, try to practice. Rub your palms many times a day. But of course, you should not do it in public all the time, because sometimes people say, "Oh God, this is psychic." Also, practice foot salts, prāṇāyāma, and mantra. The mantra: Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugaṁdhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt. This is a prayer to the gods, all Tryambakaṁ, all the trinities. Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe refers to Śiva. This prayer means: "Oh Lord... bless me and give me liberation." How? Like this fruit, you know, it is called the cucumber. When the cucumber is ripe, it automatically separates from the plant or vine. Without pain, or from the tree, when the fruit is ripe, it separates. Without pain, without any desire, venial disease, anything, please bless me that I just become separate from this māyā, from this saṃsāra, this world, and attain liberation to thyself. So I pray for this: lead me from darkness to light. That's it. It is a very good mantra. From where does this mantra come? Wonder nicely. Every mantra is a good mantra, but the best mantra is your guru mantra. But you must receive that, and even better is this: you have to repeat it all the time. Having the mantra is not enough; you have to practice, practice, practice. But finally, once more, I must tell you: we are mortal beings. We are not immortal. Perhaps we will become immortal, but we will not come again. At present, as long as we are in this body, one day we have to go. We are attached to our soul, which is the "I." We have fear of our body, but the body is not ours. It is connected to all these five elements and these five bodies: the physical body, called Annamaya Kośa, the body of nourishment; Prāṇamaya Kośa, the energy body; Manomaya Kośa, the mind body; Vijñānamaya Kośa, the body of knowledge and science; and Ānandamaya Kośa, the body of bliss. How will we enter into bliss? Animals do not know. They suffer, and of course they have pain, fear, everything. But we humans, even we are not capable of mastering our body. But we will do that also. Then, what is the difference between animals and humans? Oh man, eating, sleeping, and producing children—animals are also active. What more can you do to reach the highest? So, Kuṇḍalinī and chakras represent the science of yoga and the whole body. There is nothing more than this. The chakras, Kuṇḍalinī, and depressions: each part of the body has chakras. For example, the Chinese practice acupressure or acupuncture. Acupressure involves touching with a needle connected to a monitor. When the exact point is touched, the needle moves. When you move away from that point, it only moves slightly and does not go further. So many centers are everywhere. I had a little neck problem and this. I always said, "What should I do with my nose?" I went to a doctor who used needles. He inserted a needle near my foot, at the ankle joint. I said, "Okay, the needle is so long." My heartbeat increased because I did not know what would happen if the needle broke. There was no pain at all. He inserted it, and what happened? At the same time, there was a burning sensation here. Suddenly, from here to here within no time, and that is again evidence of the 72,000 nerves and where all these chakras are located. It is very, very interesting. Many different points exist, but why from here? The doctor must know the exact point. Otherwise, he might press the wrong point somewhere, and my eyes could be gone. It can happen. Therefore, practice, masters. Yoga—I think you should have this book. You have this book, yes, "The Chakra: Hidden Powers in Humans." It is not only that I want to sell the book—you can buy it somewhere else—but you have to be very concentrated, read it, and understand what it means. Then, you have to read that chart. This chart has Sanskrit and English translation. Everything you need is in this book. Do you have any questions? Can I do anything? Yes, this is the book. Hidden powers in the human—my God—all the power of humans is in my hand, and I give it into your hand. Practice; without practice, there is nothing. Do not read this book like a newspaper. All right, you came upon it again. Oh, that is the Maṇipūra Chakra. It is like a deer animal. There is Brahmā, or Viṣṇu, and the chakra, Lakṣmī. Any questions? We bring about 20, 40 kilos of sand—not very fine sand, gravel—and make a nice place, then walk. The best is to make a telephone call to someone: "Hey, how are you?" This Swamiji was that, and you walk on it so that you will not feel it is too long and painful. Forget it; you will talk and that. Does this happen many times in your hands? This is okay. Also, for one disease, if you have something—also for cancer patients—I tell them, "Do you have two hairs or one hair?" Everyone has two. Thank you. We have this tube here. Now, nicely massage, inside or like this—no, not inside. Like this, like this, hold it and pull. Gurujī pulls; he doesn't do this. If you feel very cold, standing there waiting for something and it's very cold, what do you do? Take your hand and rub your ears. Come, please, rub your ears like this, but not so otherwise. Yes, but just do it. The ring is down. Up, up. Yes? Yeah. It's hot. So this is also very good. When you are somewhere, going to a taxi or your car, and the steering wheel is very cold, what should you do? Go, it will become warm. So we have many techniques, but this is for our ears, very, very much. They are here also under our jaw. This protection from up here, but the thyroid gland will release tension and problems. So, there are thyroid glands. This evening, in our program—if you come this evening—we will talk about the thyroid problem. Thank you.
