So, we should not leave our stomach empty. We should eat until our stomach is full, but how do we balance the body? All my dear ones, you know that nearly sixteen or seventeen months ago, I decided to adopt a special diet consisting only of salad. Of course, in winter there is not much salad, but we can get different kinds of vegetables and we should use those. Potatoes are also very good, but in limited amounts. We said, "Make one potato and half a liter of water, cut it into little pieces, let it boil for a long time, and then we put in your spices to make a good soup." That is what it means. We shall avoid a lot of corn, wheat, etc. Take everything—take all your oil, not one liter, but half a spoon, one or two spoons, that's all. Take the salt; please do not give up the salt. Many people are saying, "No salt, and no salt," and you see what will happen with them after? Many people say that salt should not be used at all, that food should not be salted, but we will see what happens to them after some time. When we are older, we need a little more salt. And water—we shall boil the water because we have a lot of chemicals in the water. Boil it, leave it in a container, and in the morning you should take the upper part of the water, and we can drink that. Cook everything with it. We know that we have good water, but we don't know how much we are putting inside. We are getting chlorine in the water, but if we boil it the whole night, then it will all go down, and we have the upper good water. Of course, mineral waters are an option, but they are very expensive. It depends. Similarly, eat a lot—but of vegetables—and then take one slice of bread. Now, there are different kinds of breads. When I was in Czechoslovakia for the first time, my accent was so thick. Můj krajec chleba bol taký hrubý, a na ňom bolo maslo a na ňom bolo ešte med alebo niečo iné, a bol taký veľký. So I'm still working; all is here from Czechoslovakia. That's it. So now we have to—please don't mind, I was watching now—please don't mind, it doesn't matter, man or woman—they have little exercise and more about butter and this and that. So I think you should, if you want to live healthy—meaning happy without disease, and have a long life, and live your yogic life—then, coming into the body, that body will give itself for us. Thank you. So, prāṇa. Prāṇa is more in vegetation. So salad, salad, salad. And then, of course, you have to have a little bread or chapatis or a little rice so that you keep yourself. Don't do it immediately. Slowly, slowly, slowly. One month, one year. Every day, little, little, little. And after that, one year, then make your diet more strict. And our whole body—all our joints, our muscles, all the, what we call, the heart, lungs, all different kinds of organs—all other organs, and it will be a great feeling. So I give you now, you begin, and next year in this seminar, there you will see how you will be. If you do it quickly, then you will not be nice on the stomach, and all will be thin. You see, I thought my face would also be very thin, but I looked—I cut my hair, my beard—and I thought my face, my cheeks are swollen. So our face, our cheeks, this tells us that we are healthy and the things we are doing are very good. And, of course, we will slowly, slowly, our energy will go up and our fat will go down. This is very important. So many, of course, I will say that about 78% are all very good yogīs. And about 22% are the best ones, who we can see are the strong people here. So, please come first to health. Only not by making our food less and less—no—or not by taking more and more—also not. Your stomach will be full, you will feel good, but we need exercise. Some people are very... how are they making this? What is that? Body building. And after some years, they are like that. Oh, this, and oh, this part, oh my. You know, they will have many problems, pain, pain. But we should have that, sarvahitāsana. Do it mostly one year with your good diet, sarvahitāsana. But of course, we shall practice our other āsanas. We shall keep it, and we have all kinds of āsanas. We have also Śīrṣāsana, Sarvangāsana, etc. We should do it when we are young, or we are healthy, or we are practicing. That is very important for our whole organs of the body. They need movement and good food. Of course, we like to taste, and we want to eat more and more, and you are keeping all in your body, reserving it there. So one day, they took him to the graveyard. They took the graveyard person, they did the body, and there were about ten people lifting him. So much luggage inside. So why? So we shall come to our yoga in daily life. What does yoga in daily life mean? It's very easy, very normal, what we are thinking. It's called yoga in daily life. It means practicing yoga every day. Another thing is that we should respect all different kinds of yoga schools. They also have their guru, or there are some teachers. Everyone is showing some different postures. Why not? It's good, but they are all belonging to yoga. So we shall respect all different kinds of yoga schools, good teachers, but not for the money. We are doing it for our health, and further, for the people. It is said that every yoga school has their guru. And that is very, very important—that everyone should have that kind of guru which is from many, many ages of their disciples, their masters. Don't become a guru from now on. No, we have to have that guru which is our paramparā, our tradition. Then that means that we will keep life yoga. Otherwise, people, you know, that's called the alcohol practice, wine yoga, or someone like this and like this. You know, many, many begin, they come up and then go down. There were a few years, some years ago, they called it hot yoga, hot yoga, and many people had problems in the bones, in the lungs, because in the hot room there is not good air, and here also, in the whole world, they came and now they are doing different things. But they are calling this and that, but yoga is that from the beginning of Śiva. The yogī is Śiva, and Śiva has brought this yoga from the beginning of Śiva. So you know that there are five principles. The one is what we call the space, and the second is called the consciousness. So this consciousness is not only in humans, but not only in vegetation, but in the air, in the water, in the space. Now, they don't know what is the first: that awareness, or consciousness, or the space. So there is a balance between them. It's called yoga, and that is harmony, balancing the conscious into space. And that is the yoga beginning. And so in that yoga, what we call the light, the space, and the movement means the air. Then it comes to the other three: the water and earth. This is in yoga's beginning. But we are making yoga, we are making many, many techniques, and every technique we say is yoga. So here, yoga means good exercises for keeping the health. But yoga is different. This kind of yoga is not yoga. That is that kind of ṛṣis, yogīs in different parts of the world. There is prāṇa. There is energy. There is consciousness. There is the consciousness towards the cosmic Self. So yoga is different. But we are beginning now, and what is the difference? I tell you, already people have begun to make confused yoga. Our Prime Minister, the Chief Minister, he said, and brought yoga in officially. But now they gave it to the embassy, and now some people became the master. And they said, "Only practice this, not others," so different things. So as long as Modijī is here, the ambassadors will try hard. After, they will just go, and you know, every year the exercises of yoga by the embassy of India, people are going smaller and smaller, slower and slower. Yes? Because they have no yogic techniques, they give them only physical exercises and bye-bye. And that is not yoga. So again, our people—what means our people, our Europeans? Our Westerners, and those yoga schools from many years—they have good yoga. They understand yoga. They practice the yoga. But now came something like the bubbles. Yeah, you know that children are playing with the water and these bubbles? How long will it be? It explodes. But you are. India has also, but that yoga which Indians are doing is very rare. When our Prime Minister is coming for making yoga, my God, all Indians are like a flood. They want to see Modijī, and they want to photo-shoot their side baby, and the next day, like pigeons, like this. So that's no yoga. You are that. And I tell you, you will bring the yoga best to Vienna, or to India. Fifty-two years I am here, and before that also, great masters before also here, and we call Vivekānandajī. Vivekānandajī was a politician also, but before Vivekānanda, because many Indian masters were in other countries. But of course, Vivekānanda was great. We adore him, and the whole government respects him. Why not? So, my dear, we need great techniques of the body, mind, soul, etc. Now, some people made this one word. It is an easy word, you know. It's called body and mind. So, body and mind—where is your soul? Where is your consciousness? Where is that? But to say body and mind, neither your mind will be there, nor your body will be there. So understand, bring the yogic science. And when you come to the yogic, like all of you, you are yogīs now, very great yogīs you are. But those who are angry, jealous, and so on, that is not a yogī anymore. But they will be. When you are yogic, you will be humble, kind, and your soul, your practice is great. And so, in this way, our generation, the new generation, we shall bring a real yogic science. There are some scriptures, yes, it's good, but those who are, they are great, they don't practice. They are only talking, talking, talking. So it is like this: that child is crying, and the father said, "Don't cry, mother is coming." And, "Where is my mommy coming?" "Oh, she is coming very soon, come on." But no, there is nothing. So we shall learn inwardly. So learn inner yoga, not on the surface for difference. So, yoga—many, many yoga schools in the whole world, very good yoga schools. If you have someone with more or less disciples, it doesn't matter. And so when the best yogīs come together, they are very happy. And many yogīs come, and they go to other yoga centers and take a few people away from them. We have only one guru. How to give you? What means that only one? Your mother has given birth to you. You will say, "No, I don't like my mother. I want to go to another mother's body and come out." Only one mother, only one father, and they will come. That's it. Understand me? We can have many mothers and fathers, and we can be respectful. But the real father and the real mother, we don't know. But the mother knows her child very well. So Holy Gurujī said, "What mother said, mother said, 'Is the child?' Mother said, 'Who is my child?' Not father said, 'My child.' So mother said, 'My child.' The child, mother said, 'Five of my child.'" And when and Kṛṣṇa said, that is Bhagavad Gītā. Yes. So ask the Kṛṣṇa. So there are many things for us to learn. So our mother is our mother, and our father is the father, and so we should go. Our master is our master. Our guru is our guru, and our disciple is our disciple. Then we can be in the world, humble and kind with everyone. Everyone says, "My religion, my religion." Why not? Very good. But don't fight for the religion. Don't try to take away from other religions. And that's why the problem is there. So let's come to yoga. Yoga is within our body. We have within us, we give out. We don't take from outside to inside. God gave us already inside, and that is within us. So practice yoga, everyone, and respect to all. Some yoga teachers in their school use a little different technique. Why not? Others have some different techniques. Why not? They are happy. They are giving good techniques. Then we are happy that we are all yogīs. So we can go home to our parents. And daytime, we can go to our work or to any of our friends, and like this. During the day, we can go to work or visit friends anywhere. So this is how we should learn. So we have our paramparā from Alak Purījī, many, many ages. Then we know that Dev Purījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī, Lālā Nanjī, Brahman Nanjī, Śiva Nanjī—all these we know, the disciples of Holī Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī. We adore them. So now we have all. We will have pictures for all our paramparās. So, my dear, I am very happy to see you today. And those who are going back home today, again, I wish you a good journey. Come again according to your time, and, of course, because we are limited. Otherwise, the government says that you should have only so many people. The government doesn't want to do it. How to call them? Purposely. Our government wants that our people should be free, our people should be healthy, our people should be great, but they are thinking of us that our citizens will be healthy, happy, etc. And therefore, you know, our organizers are very hard-working. Here, our organizers are very tired of it. You will see, when I get up, you all will come again together, and again we will go hand in hand. There is a—because we don't know, there is some toy for here, but we are the type of, what is that? Yeah, never. Yes, we don't know, coming, somebody touching little somewhere, and it will, you, and then second, five, and then ten, and this. Oh, God, please, you are healthy. Means not that you should not need this kind of like this, so please keep distance and clean your hands and everything. Always clean your children's hands and this, so all the best. And look now, what very nice light, Śrī Vipnar Bhagavān, thank you.
