Dear Viśvagurujī, dear Mrs. Galová, the ambassador, dear friends, We have been meeting here for about a year and a half, and this is again a unique meeting with our dear Viśvagurujī. We were very happy to meet you. We worked here for a year, trying to prepare a pleasant environment for all people who wish to absorb something from the wisdom of yoga, to make it very comfortable for everyone who comes to gain from this Yoga Wisdom. As you know, even in the last days we were working hard, preparing everything just as you wished, like before Christmas. And today, we have our Christmas. Regarding this Karma Yoga, what we have done here, I would like to tell a story about a miraculous cave that appears and disappears in time. Two friends entered this dark cave, and a voice appeared. It said: "If you take something from this cave, you will be sorry. If you don't take anything, you will be more sorry." They were frightened. One took something, but the second friend did not take anything. When they left the cave, the friend who had taken something discovered it was diamonds. He was truly very sorry that he had not taken more. And the friend who took nothing was truly sorry that he had not taken anything. The same situation exists with cooperation in a project like this. You have the opportunity to do something, to be part of something. The same was true with this project. Some people took on more work, participated more, and some less. I would like to appreciate the work of all the people who worked on this project. With their selfless work, they helped to build this. But mostly, I would like to thank you, Viśvagurujī, that we were able to get this project and have the opportunity to work on ourselves. I hope we can share the wisdom of these diamonds we get from this project and share it with other people too. But, just as in the story with the cave, it is the same with the system of Yoga in Daily Life. You can gain a lot, and you can share this wisdom. I would like to thank Viśvagurujī, and now if he can share with us some of those diamonds of wisdom. All dear ones, the Yoga in Daily Life practitioners, the spiritual seekers and the bhaktas, the disciples of our paramparā. Within one year, you have done such a big work. Today is so beautiful. You did everything, good work, very good work. Congratulations. We had a long-cherished wish to have our āśram, our center, our Yoga in Daily Life center. The people of Martin and the other cities of Slovakia made a great work and saṅkalpa. Today you have this beautiful āśram. It is a spiritual light here. Everyone who comes will take something with them: peace, harmony, understanding, love, kindness, etc. Yoga is a science of the human being. Yoga is very ancient, and it is given to humans to lead a healthy, happy, spiritual life. And what we call self-realization, the liberation into the cosmic Self, it will come. It will come, but do not think it will be from today to tomorrow. It is a whole life's work, the work of your willpower. That's it. So that you are sure that after this world, you will enter into the cosmic light and peace. The whole world has now turned towards yoga. Every religion, every culture, and every nation has accepted yoga because it is for our own being, our health—physical health, mental health, social health—and we have to achieve this to come to the Supreme, to God. There is only one God. But that God comes from time to time. So, in any religion you believe, you believe in God. For example, one comes from Bratislava, one is coming from Poprad, others are coming from Hungary, but the aim is here. Now, every path is different. Someone has a good highway, and someone has narrow streets. There are different things. But finally, we are coming to this āśram, and when we are here, we don't think of the highway or the narrow streets. Forgotten—we have achieved, we have come to this place. Similarly, every god, every religion, it is in their feeling. But in the end, all will come through one gate. And that is the kingdom of God, where we are one with the universe. But yoga is needed for our good health, and this health is very, very important. Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. So we should practice. It doesn't matter if you believe in God or you don't believe in anything, but at least you believe in your body. If you don't understand and respect your body, then you will come to the hospital. Then you will know, "Oh my God, my body!" So we want our body, and the best remedy for our body is yoga. And you see, Yoga in Daily Life is very simple, but very powerful. In your country, mostly there are Yoga in Daily Life practitioners. I think millions. Today is a day. I first came here in 1975, here in Martin. From that time onwards, such divine souls began to come. I am not speaking from my ego, myself. But wherever my Gurudeva's energy is going with me, divine souls come there. That day when I came, I came here from the city of Lalitā. Here was one person who was very ill with cancer. The person was about 65 years old. A person from Olomouc said, "Please, you come and you will heal it." One woman... so we took a beautiful car. Which one? Tatra, which is one of the best. It is not threatening, and so Holy Gurujī was here. Gurujī said, "I don't want to drive so long." Gurujī stayed there. I left from there at eight o'clock in the morning. We came here, I came to the hospital, gave the blessing of Gurujī, and then I came back. I don't know what my thoughts were, but today the āśram is here. So, wherever you go, wherever you think positively, you bring good things. Good things for all, and not only for yourself. So, this āśram is a divine āśram. Teach them proper and good yoga in their life. We also believe in our holy masters. They are the holy ones. Their being here is giving immense blessings. We should never neglect it. When you neglect it, or you do something negative about these masters, then sooner or later, it will come back negative to you. It will keep a while back that energy, but then it will be big, big problems. So we should not neglect or talk negative or bad words to anyone. So open thyself. That's it. If you believe or you don't believe, it is there: the light, the peace. So anyone who comes here, if one doesn't believe in spirituality, no problem. Those who don't believe in the masters or God, no problem. You come for yoga, and you will see within you some energy and light, and happiness and understanding will come for your body. So, Yoga in Daily Life: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. And you should give further. Don't take it for you only. Why am I moving around the whole world? At the end of this year, it is 50 years I am traveling around the world. I give them the energy, the peace, the science of yoga, etc. But remain on one root. If your root is cut off, then your branch, your tree will die. You may chip off some branches. You can even chip the trunk of the tree. But it is said the cut trunk of the tree will again grow. But when the roots are cut, then it is your destruction. Then you are finished. Because you have no more roots, where are you going? You will be suffering. So we hold those roots, and then you go there wherever we bring the good seeds, good fruits, good flowers, the leaves, everything. It is said that if we throw a stone at the branch of a cherry tree, the cherry tree will not throw this stone back to us. But it will give us the cherries. That's why, whatever it is, don't throw this stone. And if you are doing good, the person will thank you. Otherwise, when there is nothing, the roots are gone. Neither cherries nor the flowers nor the branches are left. So, we should always give good things, but remain true to your root. Like the bird always comes back to the nest. At the time of sunset, the birds come to the nest. And so is that. Yoga and life have saved millions of people because there is the energy, the power, the roots of our Masters from the Satya Yuga. So Satya Yuga, Dvāpar Yuga, Tretā Yuga, and now Kali Yuga. Our roots are from Satya Yuga, and that is Alakpurījī. So we are with these roots, you have and you will have. So all who come here, don't force anybody to believe this or believe that. Their belief will come from itself. Let's practice the āsanas and learn the proper techniques. You should know, the student comes, the practitioner comes, then the teacher should know which kind of postures we should give. We have a big Yoga in Daily Life book. But still, don't force some posture on them. Maybe you cannot do anything. Then don't say, "Do now this and do this." No. Come and relax. Yes, let them sit on the chair. Give a nice glass of water. Give a cup of coffee or tea. No vodka. Yes, and just sit beside. That will give immense energy and release of the problems. The next day, again it will come, or the day after. You treat, and slowly your hands will move, her hands or his hand will move. We should know the condition of the person. Don't say, "Stretch up." And that's why we have the science of Yoga in Daily Life. No competition. No challenge. And don't say, "I can do that posture very well." That's not good. So, this is yoga. In death, life is coming from that day when your soul will try to come to your mother's body. I spoke yesterday. Did you understand? Yes. So I think our masters told me so, some souls are coming through my feelings, my meditation, that's it. And so it will come slowly from the space to the physical, from physical to the mother, from mother to our mother's womb, and then a baby will come, and it will be slowly, slowly.
