Good evening. Welcome to all sisters and brothers, and to our beautiful flowers—the children. Thirty years is very symbolic; it is called the trinity: Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. These are the three deities, and there is a triangle. There are many other kinds of circles and shapes, but the triangle is something very important. This triangle, in every direction, is for us on the highest peak. Time is passing very quickly, and we have so many new generations, as I used to say. Always, the children are the culture of tomorrow, and we shall give proper love and education to them. Unfortunately, in this time in the world, what is happening is that children are not educated in a better way. We know it is a big problem across the whole world. Day by day, younger children are getting into drugs. This means the parents do not have such knowledge, such love for the children, and that is why the children are going outside the door and the parents do not care about that. Parents should only have children when they themselves are grown. Parents must know what it means to have a child. It is one of the biggest responsibilities placed upon parents. And what a situation it is when the child is so innocent and the parents separate. Perhaps you do not have that much love for each other, but children need that love; they need that love. You cannot imagine—the child is crying alone in bed. And from that time, they develop great fear. Either the mother is shouting or the father is shouting. So they do not know where to go or what to do. They are waiting for when and how they will grow up, so they can get away from it. Many children, when they leave school, are crying. Truly, they cry when they are coming home. In which direction will our generation go? Either you should not marry at all—finished—and have no children. If you do marry, the husband must surrender completely. Never, ever shout or use very bad words with the wife. And in the same way, the mother also must, and must, and must adore the husband, and the husband should adore the wife. You should become mature enough that you are capable of marrying. Many people have mental problems, and children are suffering. Therefore, as in our yoga and daily life, we must give them love. Children look forward to when Swāmījī will come and when the seminar will be. In summer programs, there are two or three hundred children. They sit very silently. A small child, nine months old, eight months old, enjoys the satsaṅg and the peace. So we should take care of our children. Educate them. Give them social education. Through this, your nation will be a very great nation. Otherwise, the country is lost, and the culture of the country is lost. Still, it is not too late. But there are little children, and some are 10 years, 15 years old; they do not want to come anymore with their parents. This will be our life, a successful life. Otherwise, you know where you are going in the next life. Do not think that because we are human now we will be human again; we will not necessarily go into another human life. It is in our karma. We do not know in which body our soul will go. It may even be reptilian, or some other form. God gave us this beautiful, beautiful human body. God gave this to us to become free in the cosmic light. Otherwise, we remain in two parts: either in a prison for some days, and then you come again to the human body, or in what you call hell. And that will be suffering forever. Think it over. Really, tonight you should think it over. What will be with me? What has happened has happened. But how will it be now? We have to think about this ourselves, because God gave us a very nice brain, thoughts, everything. There are different aspects to life. There is human life. There is social life, there is love for animals, and there is religion. We have different religions; for me, religion is different. Friend, there is one person. He studied and became a lawyer. One became a doctor, and another became a holy saint. One became a farmer. Now, in this world, what we are saying is: my lawyer is my God. My lawyer is my God. And my doctor is my God, and my God is the farmer. Please do not mind. Otherwise, you can find out. So you can say Brahmā, the grandfather, or you can say Viṣṇu or Śiva. Or you say Rāma or Kṛṣṇa or Jesus, but what you call God is not that. That is our protector. That is our guardian. And you are learning from that. It will help you. But finally, it is the cosmic Self. So every time, from time to time, the holy one or God is incarnated. But finally, there is only one. You can say one word only: God. And when you understand, you will realize that there are only three letters: G-O-D. And if you do not understand, you will not respect, you will not follow that God. Then, G-O-D, you change it in the other direction. So you become now D-O-G. The dog, because you are all the time running behind the dog, caring for your dog. It is good that it is also an animal, very nice, but you cannot compare the dog to God. Understand, it is both. Ātmā, the soul, is the same—in God, in other animals, or in yourself. But what about the qualities? What is there? And what we have as humans, those kinds of powers, others do not have. So when we follow those gods, what we call... In Satya Yuga, there was only one word, one God. But in Kali Yuga, many, many religions began. But why not? What you like, that is good. But how will you come into that cosmic Self? Otherwise, it will happen. We will go and come, go and go, or once we will all come together, that is all. Because the soul, or you call it the jīvā... What you call in your language, that Buddha is life. Buddha is life. Water is life, and that water is my life, my soul. As an element, it is only that one water. That is the solid element, not voda, the nourishment. That is called that element of the physical body. It is the space, the fire, the air, the water, and earth. We all have this together. And if one of the elements is missing, we are dead. So it has to be kept together. It does not depend on us. The Creator, He has created, and He made this. We are thinking about science and scientists, and they are doing great, great work, but still, what have our scientists done till today? Maybe two percent, but the rest, not. We cannot, we cannot do as a human. Let us say one tiny ant, a very tiny ant. How many legs does she have? Two or six, or three, or four, or five, something. And how many joints do they have? Like we have the joints of our toes, ankle joint, knee, hip joint, etc. But how did God manage the very tiny, very tiny end joints? And did you ever, ever enjoy the dance of the ant, the queen, and how she is dancing? And he is dancing. She is chanting. She is enjoying. Yes, and then comes the husband. And how the husband is dancing. And how nicely they are walking together, hand in hand. At the very end, there is one very tiny creature called the sand fly, mostly in Australia. Many Australian bhaktas come to Jadan, and now all rooms are full of that person. You cannot get rid of it. It means that you cannot see them; you cannot see. It is like a fog. Fog is a drop of water. And that fly bites you, and you cannot see. After she has enjoyed your blood, then she is gone, and then the itching begins, so you are itching and itching... They call, "Oh, God, this is a sand fly," not visible at all. How can the teeth be bigger? So we cannot compare our human science with the science of God. When we are young, we think, "I am young, I am strong. I will be young all the time. I know better than my parents." Once I gave a lecture in Czechoslovakia at the time of communism. In a nursery school, I said, "Through yoga and this, I will ever remain young." Three years ago, in the same city, there were many people like this. There was a nurse who was learning nursing. Now she is retired, and she came to me with a nice flower because from that day she became my disciple. She said, "Swāmījī, you said that you will be ever young, and I thought my Gurudev will keep me all the time young. Gurudev, when will you make me young?" I said, the body is old. The mind is old. Therefore, do not worry, you are ever mentally young. She said, "Well, that I know, that I brought you so far, that you are ever hanging." So do not give up, do not give up in life, anything. You are ever best and good, the mind. So it is called Annamaya Kośa, the body of nourishment. Every creature will change its body. You know the snake? You have the snakes, but not here, somewhere. On the Adriatic coast, there are a lot of little, very poisonous snakes. You know, the snake gets a new skin twice a year, like a dress. That skin remains on the eyes like a blindfold. So one day it goes into the bushes, and with the thorns of the bush, like we are scratching, the snake goes through and the skin comes out. So this is the Annamaya Kośa; it comes and goes, comes and goes. We cannot survive through this alone. So, in these five elements, one is called the nourishment—Annamaya Kośa, the food. Then comes the Prāṇamaya Kośa. Prāṇa is not visible, but it is a power. It comes from the Annamaya Kośa, from the nourishment. But that is power, strength. When you have not eaten food for five days or one week, we have very little energy. And when you eat, the body becomes stronger. So prāṇa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, this is very, very important. That keeps us healthy and happy. As long as prāṇa is here, the soul will not go. But how will you keep your prāṇa good? Alcohol is also prāṇa. But that alcohol prāṇa is going to harm you. Any drugs you are taking, that energy will also kill you. Pure water, pure juice, pure milk, mother’s milk, cow’s milk, etc.—that will keep us strong and very pure. So there are four different kinds of milk you should know. First, milk is the milk of the mother. All animals, everyone who gives birth to a baby, they also have milk to give. And those animals which lay eggs cannot give milk. So this kind of milk is the mother’s milk. Second, it is the vegetation milk, what you are drinking sometimes, like soya milk, the milk of some trees, the juice of the trees, the juice of the fruits. So this is the milk. So, mother’s milk, then the forest milk, the trees. So, mother’s milk, what you call the vegetation’s milk. One, I have forgotten, what is that? So, one milk is the mother’s milk, then cow’s milk, animal milk. Then the vegetation milk: mother’s milk, cow’s milk, and vegetation milk. And the fourth milk, which you should know, and when you will know that fourth milk, your body will be very healthy and very good. Maybe you become immortal. That milk I will not open today. I cannot give you always for free, but there is. One day I will say, look, this is that milk. So, all this gives us prāṇa, energy. But this energy can save us or kill us. You drink milk, or yogurt, or juice, and you are driving your car peacefully. And you are hungry, so you drink milk and juice and so on, and you are driving. Another prāṇa: you drink the best Slovenian alcohol and then drive—I do not know if you can survive. So this is the prāṇa. Now we have to understand what prāṇa is. Prāṇa is life. When an animal dies or a human dies, we say the prāṇa is gone. Prāṇa is gone means the soul is gone. A certain part of the body—the heart, the breath, the brain—certain parts are still not dead, but we think it becomes cool and there is no breath, and one thinks it is dead. Yes, it is. On a certain level, we feel it has died. But still, there is life in the brain. It will take a long time when you bury the body. Sometimes, still, there is life inside. Of course, when someone has died and is taken to the hospital, the doctor will open him here, and the doctor will cut it out, take everything out—the heart and this and that—then he opens the stomach and puts it all inside and says, "And nicely put it," and you think, "Oh, my father is still like this." When someone has died, your hair is still growing. As long as your hair is growing, and as long as the leaves and branches grow, there is life inside. So that is a subject, a very long one. So we should have good prāṇa, very good prāṇa, and that is sāttvic nourishment. After the Prāṇamaya Kośa, the life or the body of the energy, then comes the Manomaya Kośa. Man means the mind. You cannot kill the mind. You cannot catch the mind. And you do not know where the mind is. In which part of the body is the mind? Not only in the brain. The mind is mighty, and the mind is so speedy. Thought is quicker than the mind. I can bring your mind to nothing. Your mind like nothing. Let us say 5 million or 50 million distance. I can take you there, but not physically. The energy will go with a little bit. But the mind is mighty. So let us go now, let us say, 50 million distance. You want to know now? So, let us say 50 million, okay? Maybe it is more or less. So, get ready. Jupiter—you are on Jupiter already, yes or no? Yes, that is your brain, my brain, their brain, everything. Our mind, your mind is so powerful, and that is given by God and not by a scientist, okay? Do not go to Jupiter. There is a beautiful lake and one church, do you know? So you are already there, yes. And that is our meditation, the power of meditation and the instructions of the master, the proper master. And that master has a paramparā. Other masters will tell you many stories and many things, no problem. But the problem is coming to that cosmic Self, which is the Satguru. But not in the name of the Satguru. Everyone can say, "I am Satguru." I explained this morning: Alagpurījī, Alakpurījī, and Śaṅkara, and Satya Yuga. From there, the master to master to master. For example, there is one boy called Vasiṣṭha. And Vasiṣṭha knows his father. Also, it is strong in everything. The grandfather, the grandfather... generation to generation. The genes of your ancestors are in your body now. You cannot put someone in to take your genes. So this is how the holy saints from the Satyugas are bringing it all the time, and it will be for everyone, wherever you come from and wherever you belong. So, you cannot say that I am Christian, or I am Muslim, or that I am Buddhist, or I am Hindu. No. The genes are there, which are your body. So this is the mind we are coming to. So, Annamaya Kośa is the earth; Prāṇamaya Kośa is the air, the energy. The water, and ākāśa, the mind—so these are all in our body. So we have to go and achieve there, till where our paramparā, our masters, where it is. So somebody comes to you and says, "I am now your guru." So you can say, "Thank you, you are my guru, but I am your grand guru." That is it. So this, we have to realize—realization of these five elements. They are given to you; they are not yours. After that, you have to work to go further. These elements help you, but where the elements cannot help anymore, then what are you going to do? What will you be then? The earth element is gone. The water element is gone. The air element is gone. The water element is gone, and now there is space. Now, what happens? You are lost, alone in this space. Who is going to liberate you? What do you have to meditate on? What mantra do you have to get? You are now only in space, that is all. In the desert, in the Sahara, a thirsty deer is running here and there. Very thirsty, it sees about half a kilometer away a beautiful lake, very clean, blue water. The thirsty deer runs towards the lake. Running and running. As far as it goes, the lake is still that far away. The horizon—so what is the horizon? The horizon is that, as far as you go, that far it goes back. So the deer will fall down and die. No water. Similarly, we achieve that nothingness, and if they do not have a proper master, they say, "No mantra, just meditate." And they say, "We do not need a mālā. We do not need a mantra. Just be within thyself." But if the situation is such, then your situation is that deer which is now running and running but could not catch the water. In the winter or summer, with very strong sunlight, the road is dry, but we see about 50 meters distance on the road, water is lying, and you are driving, but there is no water. So this is nothing, but there is a reality. That reality is from the earth that comes what you call the very fine humidity. We cannot catch it, but it is there. Similarly, it is there, but you cannot get anything. So when you practice yoga and achieve your life, then do it properly and let those ṛṣis from the other yugas come. So these five elements are five different cloths over this jīva. Now, what will the Jīva do when you lose these five cloths? That I will tell you this weekend in Prague. So, my dear, I am very happy to see you. And thirty years, the triangle. And we are there. What will happen? Good. If you continue. Otherwise, you will say, "No, it is stupid and nothing," and then you will go into the life of the reptilian. And after the reptilian, maybe someone different will say, "Let me be the reptilian, but in the ocean, so I can swim." And everything, but there is also no safety. Somebody will come and catch you. So anywhere in the universe, enemies are behind, life is behind. And the soul, what is the soul? That soul, it is oneness; it will come into oneness. So next weekend, the coming weekend, until then, all the best.
