How can we get knowledge

The eternal journey is the inner journey of consciousness towards oneness with the divine.

God is within every being and every part of creation. All creatures possess the same divine essence; there is no hierarchy. Humans err by thinking themselves superior, poisoning the world which in turn poisons them. True knowledge comes from within, not from external seeking. Men and women possess equal souls and consciousness; the divine is both mother and father. Knowledge is acquired through Śruti, listening from a master, and Smṛti, committed to memory. This learning is endless, vaster than the Himalayas. The inner practice requires engaging the body and its energy through postures, breath, and meditation on the subtle nerves. Life and knowledge are an eternal flow.

"God is with us, within us. Every tissue in our body is a part of God."

"Knowledge has no end. This is a river; it’s going into the ocean."

Part 1: The Eternal Journey Within: Oneness, Knowledge, and the Divine Sit comfortably and feel your being in oneness with thyself. Do not think of outside, different things, but only that you are. I am, and I am here—that is very important. So, we will chant Oṃ and then talk more about Oṃ. Deep inhale, exhale. Deep inhale and exhale. Deep inhale and exhale. Blessed Self, dear sisters and brothers, welcome on this beautiful evening. You are here in one of the most beautiful centers, where many thousands of people have come in and out over so many years, chanting mantras, "Oṃ," meditating, thinking about the whole body, the mental knowledge, the postures of the āsanas. It is very important to be in that place. There is a little bird. This is a place where, as soon as we come inside, we have a divine atmosphere with us. The best thing is that the bird is finished. The journey we have here, the subject, is the eternal journey. An eternal journey, where? This is not only our body, not only our mind, but our being in that area, our spiritual energy. Though we do not know the people, and people do not know us, we need not speak, but energy is giving everywhere. Like the sun rises; the sun does not tell us, "Now I am here. Now I have the light here." No. Similarly, also the rain. When the cloud comes and the rain begins to fall, it will not say it is only for me, for this one person, or for humans only, or for animals only. It is for everything. That rain does not think, "I will not give water to this place now." Similarly, within our heart, we have those kinds of feelings that all of us humans always think of as being in our heart. We do not know if it is in the heart or another part of the body, but in the heart we say, "My heart is good, my dear, you are my heart, everything." And every creature also has a heart, a very tiny, tiny of the tiny—what you call the Australians, a very small fly. We call it the sand fly. We cannot see it really through our eyes, but of course, when we exactly concentrate somewhere, then maybe we know. That is such a tiny creature. It is alive, and it also wants to eat something. How big is its mouth, how big its teeth, and how big the wings? And how do these wings give that much air or wind that they can fly? God has created everything for everyone. And we, what we have, we have within us, and we are in all creatures together. We should not think that only we are the best and the rest are not. Who are we to say that we are the best? God has created everything—even the water, fire, air, earth, everything. Who are we to say that we are good humans, and we can kill all other animals and destroy all this? What we are destroying, we are putting poison in the vegetables, fields, fruits, and so on. We are doing it, but all this poison is coming to us. It comes to us; it goes into all vegetation, but we are eating it. If we do not eat, we inhale it. There are very great humans. They have great learning, day and night, in science and this and that science. But some sciences have limitations also. We are trying to put and think good, and good, and it will be good. It will be very good, but we are taking this poison in our body. Humans are coming more to... We are the humans, but we, some people, weak people, we are here. Even if we tell them, "Please do not do this," they will not stop. So now it is only that we concentrate and work within our self, inside our organs and everything. They will go, destroy very quickly, our organs. But the consciousness within us, that we said, is prayer, prayer, prayer. What do the prayers mean only? The prayer is just like this: I want to do something better for my body. I want to have better thinking for myself. I will do something so that I will come to God. Where is God? If God is there somewhere and everyone goes to God, I think there will be a long, long queue until God has no time. But God is with us, within us. Every tissue in our body is a part of God. Everything, He is there, and so we need not go anywhere. He is in us. Well, sometimes somebody said, "You talk about a God, that he is everywhere." Why do we say that we are God? So is God male or female? And we said God and God, so it is only we are humans, and only men. Women are nothing. This is a negative. There was a time. There was a time, and I think in this Kali Yuga, it was, let us say, about 100 years just before that, they were saying women have no soul. Do you know that? And if the women have no soul, then how are they living, working, cooking, everything? That is not right, is not right. The women and men have the equal Ātmā, we call Ātmā, the soul. Everyone is very equal. And you should know, sometimes the women have more qualities, more humbleness, and many, many things. So, I do not know who just laid tail like this. The male and females, they are equal. Our consciousness is equal. Our feeling is equal. Our bodies are equal. Well, there are females and males, but that does not mean God does not make the difference in this house, and other animals also. So that is why we shall bring that, that there is no difference between male and female. You know our mother, and you know how the child is more with the mother. The mother gives us the child. If it is like that, then we will not have any problems in the world. No animals are like this, making a difference. But I do not know which human said it. And so God is a God, and that is why in India we said, first it is called what we call "Matṛ Devo Bhava." First is a mother. First is "Matṛ Devo Bhava." First, God is the mother, and then "Pitṛ Devo Bhava," then is the father. And it is written in the ancient literatures, the Vedas and Upaniṣads. The Vedas are the very beginning. But we were only renouncing certain things, and we were learning only vocal code. No books and nothing. Now, humans have different feelings, and so men and women, it does not matter, all have to know this energy and this knowledge. So, out of 100, or I would say, out of 5,000, from these 5,000, maybe 5 persons are perfect. And they will understand God, they will understand knowledge, they will understand science, everything. But that is not. And now, again, they are beginning to think about what the so-called scientists are talking about. That is how the mother and father are. If they are one from the beginning until the end of life, when they are in oneness, then it is called: the body is different, but their soul becomes as one. So, they are chanting and chanting and chanting. So, that time was called Śruti and Smṛti. These are two words, Śruti and Smṛti. Smṛti is our knowledge that we know. From where? Learning. Śruti means listening from the ears. So the master is sitting up and the disciple is sitting down. That is called Upaniṣad. The literature’s books, what we call, are the two Vedas and then the Upaniṣads. Upaniṣad means words where the disciple is sitting close to the master, and the master is talking and giving knowledge in his or her mind. So, Upaniṣad, it means that the disciple should sit near the master and learn that knowledge, Śruti. So, listening, listening, very peaceful, very good. And concentration, concentration. Many will stay only for a few years or something, and then they will go away. But whoever gets this path, then his consciousness and God become one. And that is given by the master, and so now you are all sitting here. And of course, you are the great people here. And you are scientists and everything. I am nothing. I am just sitting here to look, to see everything. That is why I am up. So, you are sitting, and I am sitting here. So, it is said, when the water falls from the clouds, it will come down. For us, whatever we throw, it will come down. But after a certain time, it will not come down. It will go up. Otherwise, we are still connected to the earth, and so we are all students. We are here and listen, listen... Then we get that knowledge, whatever we are making. So, Śruti, Śruti, Smṛti, and then the Śruti is easier, that we are listening, but Smṛti is memory. And how much memory we have, that is death. It does not matter if it is bread, but the bread must not be so big like this. So, those who have learned more and more, the head is like this, and the heartbeat, the head becomes like this, and then like this. So, but the smṛti, the learning, learning... no. And we are lost now. We have lost our memory very, very much. And this is our problem, our mistake. Because we did not concentrate on that. We just said, "It does not matter." So, it is said, someone, the father said to his child, "My child, my child, do not worry if you study or not, if it is in your brain or not, but you have everything in your hand." So we are all, we are all, say, it is all in my hands. Okay? Every one of us, when we say okay, we look and we look inside, and we look, we are having our hand. But if this one falls down in the water or somewhere from the mountains or is lost, then it is lost. So, though we have this in our hands, it is still in our brain. So, we in India, our parents used to say, "My child, do not worry. If someone has taken something from your hands, okay, do not worry. They took away from your hand, but they did not take away from your brain. You will have again more and better." So this is how, and now, for example, you have all that kind of knowledge of your money, very much in your knowledge. They said Australians are very good at thinking. So, those who are here sitting here, including myself, okay? I am also the same like you. Yes, do you have 50 telephone numbers by heart? Yeah, I mean, you are all maybe 50, only 50, or 100 or more. In London, there is one Indian lady, or she is old now, she died. A few years ago, she did not learn anything. She cannot read anything, but her grandchildren are still there. So her son and grandchildren always said, "Grandmother, Granny, please, can you tell me the telephone number? I do not know it there." And she knows the number by heart. For many, many, and so she said, she will say in a different way: two and five, and then it is three, four. That is the number. Now she knows by heart, but our, because we did not put everything in our brain and head, then we gave that, and that is the biggest mistake we humans are doing. We are doing that, and our memory is finished. And when memory is gone, then our brain is like a buffalo. Yes, that is it. So we should learn. So that is why I call it Śruti and Smṛti. So we have, for example, one holy book, and in this holy book, you have here, or also what you call the Bible. They put them in every hotel there. They know everything. But still, they will look in the Bhagavad Gītā, Bible, or Upaniṣad. It knows by heart, but still it will go from here to take knowledge inside again. If we can learn this now, then definitely many, many of our problems will disappear. Our brain should be brilliant, but we know we are doing it. There is a, maybe you know all or some may know, and there is one child, he is about 10 years or 8 years old. Maybe now he is already grown two years more, somehow. India. And you can ask this boy, "How big is Australia? How much is the population? And who is the prime minister, or whatever it is that you have? And what is the name of that? Germany. So, who is in Germany, and how many people? You can ask anyone in America, in Australia, anywhere in the world about that country. He knows the name and who that is. So who was the Prime Minister five years before that? Yes, that was that Prime Minister, but he is not in the position now. Really, it is not a joke. Maybe you know this. Have you heard? Why? Indian Aam Nadega is on Facebook. You should come to Facebook. Yes, really, I reject, but I do not know why. But it is time to time this boy is coming there, and really many people come, and media is coming, and media is sitting there, and they are asking. He does not take time. There, which country has which kind of money, what we call currency? Which currency is in which country? Really, I think, and we all think, his brain came with that knowledge. It is great. There is one man, because another one had several accidents. All of the bodies were broken, and it was like this. But his brain has remained, and his legs like this, this body like that, he has been bound here and here. But he can speak so brilliantly, and he will speak and give the speech, and he will know where it is and what it is. So this is a blessing of God. But if we want to have it, then we should learn these Vedas or Upaniṣads or the Bibles or the Quran or anything. But you have to learn. In the Quran, the holy scripture for Muslims, every Muslim and their children read this holy book morning and evening. And what we are only learning, our newspaper, and then finished. So, Śruti and Smṛti, if you can come back, then your yoga becomes that it is a yoga. And how can we do it? There are four exercises we can do. Very, very good for our brain and memory, it is called Śīrṣāsana. Who knows Śīrṣāsana? Please raise your hand. Okay, thank you. And those who have raised their hands up, they said no, this is Śīrṣāsana. But more than hands up, they know. But they do not know the Indian name. But you know what I wanted to tell you, and that is Śīrṣāsana is head standing. Now, who knows all about head standing? Yeah, please, can you raise your hand up? Head standing, who knows, Premlata? You know, yeah, that is it. Then hand up, do not worry. If not, I will do it tomorrow. So, everyone, we know that if we can do two minutes or one minute and then again come back, and then a few times, our memory will come back, and it will be back very, very much. And learn from the master, learn from the mother, learn from the father, learn from friends, and learn from our books. That will bring, and our life will become a long life. Health and discipline will come from what we are doing in this book. So, Śruti means listening, Smṛti is in the brain, memory, and these two, if we have, the master will say then, yes, now it is like that. Then you are a master. Now, further, they are coming, they are like gods, these boys or girls, everyone, it does not matter. So, one person had everything, and the master always goes to make a retreat center. You know what a retreat center is? So, taking 20 students or 50, it is one year completely. And it is said, the master, every student has a place in a different place. No touching each other, no talking, learn, learn... What you know, everything, and there is a joke in that. That joke I will tell you after this. That joke, I do not know which it is, but I will remember, okay? So that person is learning, and the master, so once a fourth... One fortnight, the Master comes and asks the disciples, "But not too long talking, yes, no, that is all." So, do you know everything? Did you learn this? This? Yes, Master, I am learning this. One always said yes, hand up. And Master said what? Nearly eleven months were there, one month remained. So one disciple said, "Master said, and what about you?" The disciple said, "Master, I know everything. I know everything. I am above everything. I have knowledge of everything." The master said, "You know everything?" Yes, I am now everything. I am the supreme master. Master said, "How proud I am of you, my son. We call them my son." We all call your students our children or sons. So the Master said, "Okay, then sit in front of me, and I will ask you the questions, or I will see how it is." He is meditating deep and deep, and the Master asks something, and he said, Master, I became one with the Supreme. There is nothing. I am above all. I have no pain. I am not hungry. I am not jealous. I am, Master, complete. Master, I am so far, so I cannot even give the answer. I am above. I know everything, Master. You know all. Yes, Master, I tell you. It is very hard for me to give the answer because I am the highest. Then the Master said, "I will test you." And he is sitting in meditation. And the Master had a bamboo, and with the bamboo, he took it on his head. Part 2: The Inner Journey and the Endless Path of Knowledge And he said, "Master, what are you, cruel one?" The Master replied, "Oh, I am so sorry. You said, 'I know everything, I have no pain, nothing.' Go into your cabin, into your room, and meditate further. After eleven months, come back to me. Then I will see how far you have come." So, it is not easy. But sometimes it is different, very different, and that is our state, the one that is already between. So I know this, Master, I know this, Master, and there is nothing, so it is different in some way. So now, what I want to tell you, my dears, is that the inner journey begins with the body. The body will go with us. Our whole life will be with us. We will be with the body, and the body will be with us. But the body said to the soul, "I will keep you pure and clean and everything. But listen, I will give you instructions." And the soul said, "I will also give you instructions." And how will you keep me together? So my way of living, drinking, eating, walking, etc., etc. And that, come back over yourself in your postures, āsanas and prāṇāyāmas. Only prāṇāyāmas like this are not enough. Very good, like that. That is good, but each and every nerve of the body must be engaged. And then the prāṇa, going through prāṇāyāma and āsanas, what we are doing. And so, when you inhale deeply, at that time what happens is that this prāṇa, our air, what we are taking in, is not going into the nerves. The air is that which is bringing that energy, and energy in the whole body, for yoga, I am telling you, is a vibration. And so we bring that purity and best qualities and everything through our nerves, is through our inhale, and that is touching there behind here, our nerves. The back side of our head, and from there this energy goes into each and every nerve, and we have 72,000 nerves. How can we feel this? So it is like this... there is a... I am learning many things, still I am learning, learning... so, about a few years ago... So, there was some doctor, an acupuncture doctor, and he is doing with the needles, you see. I am a yogī, I am a Swami, I am above everything, but when the needle comes, then you can see my heart, then my heartbeat is different. And he is doing nothing, oh God, and he says, "So, needles, and you also," he said, "No problem, there will be no pain." I said, "Yes, sir, it is my body, not your body." I made a joke to him. And really, it is he who put it here in my shin. Yeah, and he was going on doing like this. And I said, "Yes, when are you going to get the needles?" He said, "I already gave twelve." I said, "Oh," and then from that, he gave one here on the knee. And behind my ear, there it was. It is here, but there, near my ear, I see. He said, "Because you told Swamiji that you have, with your ear, something sound, or this is different." But I said, here is the needle, and why here? He said, "That is the science of the archipelagic cells." And these nerves, 72,000 nerves, are working everywhere, but everyone has a different point. And so, don’t think that this nerve is here. Maybe it’s not here; it is somewhere else. And so, we have here one posture, but they are not all 72,000, but the main, main nāḍī systems, nāḍī systems in the body that we have. And so you have learned everything, you know, and so this is the net, like a net of the, what we call, not a spider. You Australians have a lot of spiders. They are afraid of spiders, you know, that’s why you, it’s like a net. And so this is a net one. And so you can see here in this chart how many real centers there are on the wrist, elbows, shoulders, etc. Everything for the eyes, for the nostrils, everything, many. You should put it here, bigger. Try to get it good and put it somewhere. So, every day when you are coming, look at this for one minute. What is that? This is the whole network of our knowledge, or whatever we know, whatever we learned; it is inside. And there it comes to the brain here. And there are three points: the moon, the sun, and consciousness. All this is within. So, let’s go within ourselves now. In this, thank you. Now we know that our life is within ourselves. Don’t look outside. And God is so good that He gave my skin over. But skin over is... don’t think that God has only covered our skin, no, no... Many energies and many forces affect our body, this skin, and when some kind of infection begins on our skin, and we can’t get rid of it, it becomes more and more and more. This, everything, there is a problem. Yes. So, each and every point of our body, and in that also, each and every hair has that energy and is coming from that. So, when you have long hair, you are getting more and more energy. But now, sometimes we are observing, it’s okay. Then it’s more clear, very clean, and each and every point of the hair, there is a going that completely, the light, the energies, everything through our ears, the hairs. Our body, which has the five tattvas and everything, in the body we have all that, but there is one point in the body which is life, but no pain, no pain at all. So when you go to the barber and he cuts your hair like this, you don’t feel anything. But it’s a growing. It’s a life, this like. And through this, we are getting that energy. So when we meditate and we think of our hair and this. So there is a long way to go in this book. But for the women, for the women, they should not cut the hair. And when you cut it, you don’t know how much you lost. And then the female, let’s say, the women, whatever you say, they have such energy. So you have to control that. You have to control yourself for your energy. Purījī, and that’s why they are giving the pinching in the nostrils. This side, of course, they make it now. They are taking it for beauty. There is something here, and it is precious stones or something. But some have between here, and that is, these are all in these parts here. Also, the ears, in the ears, everything is there, in this. Here, a lot of this is where we can get everything. So our ears, our fingers, and our foot soles, these are our complete there. And there are also one, two, or three different ones that are for the women. Now men are also doing it, which is very good; there is no problem. When I was small, for maybe two or three years, I did not know. I was only crying. They pinned it in my mouth. So I have very nice ears; I can put anything inside. There was something, and it should be. Also, at that time, there is health because it’s also about the health to make this here a ring in the ear. Yes, in this ear and this ear, so many. But you should not do something on your skin that, or what, you get now. There is one real story, not a wrong story. There was a Muslim, a Brahmin, and a Turkī, the king of the Turkiyans, and they came to India. It is a long way, and still they have problems in India, Muslims and Hindus, and this is, that is another thing. So that Bhatsa, his name, they call him Bhatsa. And his secretary was one of the best men. And he was a very, very, how to say, wise person. And he will always tell good to the king. So one day, what happened was that Bhatsa, and he had so many, that I don’t want to tell you anything. And something happened: his thigh, and in his thigh, it is, his thigh was healed. And what happens? Yeah, yeah, so there was a garb. What is a garb? Wood. So the Bhatsas, his secretary, came and Bhatsa said, "I had a problem. What?" That I, Thai, hurt it so much, and his secretary said, "Very good." He got a wound, and he said, "Is it good?" He said, "Yes." Bhatsa said, "Go away from him. Throw him out. He always stands against me." I have pain, blood, death. And he said, "Is it good? Go away." Okay. After three years, the Balsa went with some people on a picnic somewhere with the horses. So he was riding with the horse, and he went to the forest somewhere. He was alone. And there were people living in the forest only. And they all came and took him there. And one of their masters from the forest said, "We have today’s ceremony, and we shall offer one human body." All are sitting there, and all came from behind and caught him. Said, sir, this is a very good person, very strong, rich, and beautiful. We shall offer him. Well, then he said, "Bring him, wash him with the water, with the milk, and then again with the water, and then this and all. We will sit, and we will kill him and eat him, or we will eat him." Badshahs, he was completely like this. And they were cleaning him, washing him. And one man came and he said, "You are also there." And so he said to his boss or his guru, "Gurujī, Gurujī, what? This man is not for us." He said, "Why? He has a scar on the thigh." On his body, you did not touch him. See that everybody, the whole skin is complete. There is nothing, Sir. Here it is like this. Let him go. Bhajjha took the dress, took his horse, and he came back and went. Bhajjha said, "Please call Veerbal." That was Veerbal, his secretary. He said, "Come, please." He said, "Yes, sir, what can I do?" "You saved my life," he said. "What? Because that day I was angry. But today I am so happy that you saved my life because of this." So he said, "I told you." The one thing, how that another thing again came like this, that the king is in the cold, cold winter water. In the lake, it is very cold, and his palace is there. He said, "If you can stay the whole night... in the water, then I will give you my half kingdom, and he said, "Okay." The one man was very, so he said, "Yes, I will do it," but there was no electricity. One lamp was there on the second or third floor in the window. And at morning sunrise, he is still standing in the water. So the bhajjā saw him, and Birbal said that he is standing all the time in the water. Bhajja said no. He said, "Why?" Because he was all the time taking heat from my lamp from my third floor. No, I will not give you. Bahādur sir said, "Sir is not good." He said, "Go with him if you want." He was looking at the fire, and he got a hit. So far, Bahadur sir said, "Okay, sir, it is yours." One day, it was very important work for this Bahadur sir to come with his secretary. And, please don’t come quickly. So, 7 o’clock in the morning. And he said, "I’m cooking my food, and I’m coming." Again, after one hour, after two hours, after three rounds. And he said, "Still?" He said, "I’m cooking my rice, and the rice is still not through." And Bhāsa said, "What is that? I’m calling you." He said, "Please, let me eat. I’m very hungry." He said, "How did you... what are you cooking?" He said, "I have my bamboo, very big, about five, ten meters height, ten meters height." And my, my, our chāwal, rice is hanging there. And down I have a little fire of the lamp, an oil lamp, a little one. And I’m sitting, and still it’s getting, but it’s still not warm, and I’m looking, and Bhadzai himself says, "Stupid man." There, hanging the rice, and here’s a little. How could that become warm? He said, "Sir, that man was there the whole night, and at such a height, there was only a little light, only a lamp." In his window, and how you say that he got my heat from my lamp, please give him first his half kingdom. Then I will come. So, what is called the brain? There are so many stories in this thing. So, how are we going? We are learning everything, and still we learn, but still we learn. Until we have time to learn, we have time to learn. So there was one yogī in the Himalayas, many, many years ago, many, many years. He was doing tapasya, tapasya, life. He was getting food and energy from the air only. One day, God said, "Now bring this yogī. He is complete, and everything is okay." The messenger of death came and said, "Please, God is calling you." He said, "No, I have learned, I have heard there are Vedas, and I must read the Vedas." He said, "No, but God is calling you." Tell God, please give me 100 years more. Okay? After 100 years, again God sends him. And he said, "No, no, I have still read only a few pages. There is so much knowledge. So please, let me read further." After giving me so many years, so many hundreds of years, God said, "Give him something so that he will tell God that this knowledge is endless." He said, "But no, I want to read all the Vedas, all the Vedas, so please go and give him some knowledge." So, old man, so ṛṣi, so the messenger of death, he came. Please, God said, "Hold your palms like this and look to the Himālaya." All the high peaks of the Himālaya, he is holding there. Very old legs, hands are like this, very thin, more thin than our dharamrās, you know. And the wind came, a very strong wind came. God makes this, and dust comes in the hands. And then he said something. What is this? He said, "This is the knowledge." What is that? You see, this is the dust of the Himalayas. It is only just a little. And if you want to read the whole Himalaya, how long will you be? You have learned only this dust. Therefore, God said, "You are all right, complete yogīs and everything." Just come to God. And so, knowledge has no end. This is a river; it’s going into the ocean, going into the ocean, going in. And we will go again into the ocean, so learn and learn and learn. There is one person who is no longer relied upon, and he has a very big newspaper company. He was once with me; we went to Europe, to Hungary, and we were there somewhere in a hotel. That person was about the age of 70, and in the night and morning he said, "I took this paper from under the furniture, and it was very dusty." I said, "Why?" He said, "My knowledge is that way to learn." Before sleep, I cannot sleep. I have to read something. And it doesn’t matter what I will read, something good is inside. Even there are stupid things. That also I come to know, that this is stupid. So, vidyā. Vidyā means the knowledge. The knowledge of Saraswatī, the goddess of Saraswatī, and Brahmā, Brahmā is the creator, God, Brahmā is the creator, but giving the knowledge is Saraswatī. So, Saraswati is the wife of Brahma, and Brahma is this way. So, knowledge is a female. We call the knowledge Vidyā. Vidya. So, there are many ladies, girls, you can give the number for Vidya. You can tell them it’s like a Vidyā. So, it’s very important to go back in meditation here. And you can learn very good vidyā, the knowledge, without your knowing, but it goes in. And that is our technique, which we have here in our yoga and daily life, called yoga nidrā. You know the yoga nidrā? And in Yoga Nidrā, the master or your student can give it in your mind or in your brain without anything. It will give you that vidyā, the knowledge there. And so is that inner, inner of our body, inner brain and the whole body. And so, the eternal science of the yogī is endless, more than the Himalayas. The ocean, if you are talking about the Himalayas, then after that is the ocean. And all the ocean round the whole earth. How will you drink everything or take it away? Therefore, vidyā, vidyā... knowledge is the knowledge. And that will bring us back to this and that. Why did you kill this? Why did you not do it? Why did you do it? It’s many, many, many things. That’s enough, my dear. All, everywhere. So, vidyā, knowledge. Knowledge is the best of all. And humans, God gave humans such a body, and the brain and heart, and through that we come to the highest, the supreme. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavānkī, Dev Purīṣa Mahādevkī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavānkī, Alakh Purījī Mahādevkī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī, Oṁ Śānti, Śānti,... Shanti. And therefore, this Līlā Amṛt, everyone, you should have in your sleeping room, or it doesn’t matter, just one page, a little, and read there. You will see how much knowledge is there. Also, the Bhagavad Gītā, the Rāmāyaṇa, and other Bibles and the Qur’ān. All these holy books are nice. By listening, learning, learning, you will see in the Bible, in the Qur’ān, which is written, if you kill one human, it means you kill the whole humanity. That is there.
