It means you have forgotten. Everything is within us. But we have to awaken that. If we are searching outside, it is not our property. We receive from outside to get some training, to receive something. But what we get from outside is temporary. What is within ourselves is eternal. We do not know in how many births we have lived. I am sure each and everyone has that treasure with them again, in this body. It is said that in a forest with many, many trees and bushes, a new tree will still grow. There are so many branches, yet that which is new and growing will find the place or path to rise higher. They are growing. Similarly, we humans are also many nowadays. Within them, new children are still growing. They will grow, become tall, young and old, and so on. This is a generation, and it goes on one by one again. It is like cycling; it will go to the highest point, then go down again, come under, and rise once more. Is that so? It is like a wheel. We are all in that one wheel. What is that wheel? It is the circulation—the circulation between birth and death for every creature, not only humans. This is growing completely, like a cycle. Now, can we come out of this? We should not explore our will, but from that we go out with prāṇa. And prāṇa does not mean this air, not this in the body, but is above these five elements. We are only there. We do not try to come out from this cycle of birth and death. In this way, the practice we are doing—every year in different countries we have seminars, and many people come. It is always like a crowd, but they are so happy, so relaxed, and they respect each other very much. Sometimes a new person comes to our seminars and first thinks, "My God, what's happening? All are silent." When they get up, also silent. Going, walking, silent. The dining hall is also very silent. So the person coming for the first time will either go away in the evening or try to stay longer the next day and then ask, "Can I take my money back?" We say, "No, you have given. It's like an aeroplane: you are sitting inside, and then you go out. They will not get money back." On the third day, that person is so happy. They feel inner peace, understanding, oneness, love, respect. They say, "I never, never heard anything like this, so peaceful and happy." We do not tell them to be silent. Of course, in the lecture, everyone is silent. But we people are always searching outside for what we should search for within ourselves. Whatever you think will bring happiness will not bring happiness. We have to awaken that happiness from ourselves. We can give them immense and immense energy, peace, or harmony, and so on. But what they give us will only be temporary, like a kind of disease that comes in some months. This corona suddenly comes, and now we do not know what to do. Yes, it will destroy us. So we have to awaken from our self that prāṇa, that energy, that happiness. Then we will be again within ourself. But when we become one, what does "one" mean? For example, you see these three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—how many big, big trees are here? It will take a long time to even count every branch. But they are all together in harmony, and that is within ourselves. So in that way, what we call anuṣṭhāna. This anuṣṭhāna is about the chakras. Through inner prāṇas and different kinds of techniques, we have that awakened. We use all that we have got, and suddenly this will all go. It will remain only this flesh, bones, and nerves. That's it. So what came in? How long was it playing a nice game? And then suddenly gone. So if we come to, like, our Yoga in Daily Life, these techniques—but that has discipline. In discipline, this is that I am not becoming a great master, or I will be a good teacher, then you will not be. It will come itself within our self. When it is there, you will not say, "I am great," or not. But it will become the greatest of the greatest in oneness—not that "I want to have this; I want to have that." Many people are making many kinds of techniques. There are also some people who have techniques and say we should not eat any kind of food, only the sun food—only look at the sun. They say we get this prāṇic energy, and our body, everything is great. We do not eat anything, and also we do not wash our body because we stand in a dress outside, and with the sun—sun bath. Oh my God. Sun bath, and then very nice sun or the moonlight, and we bathe with the moonlight, complete light of the moon. Only till it is complete. We get all this nectar. And then again, till the fourth day, and then again we are getting different prāṇas. So, fourteen days is the light of the moon, and then again, also fourteen or fifteen days is creating in us the energy. It is said in the Bhagavad Gītā, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said: "I come through the light of the moon as a sweetness in the vegetation." All kinds of fruits, all vegetables, many things: the bees, the bee honeys. Kṛṣṇa said, "I bring this in the night with the moon, the nectar here." In every fruit, morning again you will see very nice, ripe fruit. But the sun, the sun which gives the warmth, and the sun gives that inside and outside prāṇa. A slunce dává tu vnitřní i vnější pránu. And so we have that bath, we let ourselves be washed by the sunlight. Well, let's go to those sun baths. Once, a long time ago, someone said to me in Vienna—a good friend, he was the president of our yoga center—and he said to me, "You know that it is the sun baths. Did you learn or do you know how to make the sun bath?" So I said, "Let's go. I will take my trousers with me." He said, "No, no, nothing." We just open our dress. I feel like all my body dress, yes, everything. I say, "Okay, I am Nāgabābā." So in Kumbh Melā, we have to become Nāgabābā, and when we are in the river, we are going to bathe. Also, we take off the dress. That I know how it is, but the Sūrya sun bath—do we need the soap? He said, "No, no, no." He was laughing. He thought I am stupid, and I thought he is stupid. And so we went to a very nice place. It's called, in Vienna, Vienna Wood. We were very nice for this, and we were standing all day long with the hands like this. I said, "When will we take the dress up?" He said, "We are bathing inside. The dress is also with us, bathing." I said, but is it dry? The sunlight, sun bath. I said, very, very good. Then came the winter. One day he said, "Swāmījī." Before he said, "Mr. Swāmī," and now he says, "Swami Jī." I said, "That was the sun bath." That kind of words and everything, you cleaned off nicely. Now, one day, it was about 20 in winter—minus 20. Yeah, that was nothing. We do not have it like this now. But that time was... Snow began already in September. Yes, yes. And in Vienna itself, for three months, definitely there was snow all there. Anyhow, he said, "Swamījī, let's go for a sauna bath." He said, "Swamījī, let's go for the sauna bath. Sauna bath?" Sauna bath. I only know that one is a soap, or water, or dust, but gold? He said, "Yes, Swāmījī, I will bathe with gold." Sauna bath means gold in Hindi, it is called gold. I was so happy, but I said, "This is melting gold." You said, "Yes, it will be dripping." So Bhai said, "How? What to do?" He said, "There we have to close our dress, take it off. Otherwise, all the gold will get in the dress." Yes, I go there. It's called a sauna bath. So there is one for the lady side, one for the men's side. Now we go, so close the dress out. Then he said, "Let's take a cold bath." I said, "It's 20 degrees below." "No, no, here is warm water." And then, you know what happens? We went in a little cabin; it was about eight people inside, and it was about 105 degrees. But luckily I had my hair like this, but I was sitting still. I said, "Let's come sit in," and we went in. So I said, "I will not sit down. I will sit on the upper." And everybody said, "Yes, Mr. Swami, you are great. Sit on the high." And I was proud. I had a towel, a little one, everybody. And I thought, when will I become gold? Really, it's not a joke. And then someone came with a little water, and he put the water on the fire, and hot, hot, hot steam comes like this. And then the man who was putting the water on the fire, he took his towel, naked. So I said, "Where is the gold? Wait, wait." And then he was with the hot bath water and then with the towel, you know, like this. I came back out. With all, everyone went to the old cold water, and one went to the cold. There was one dump, I said, "Oh, God," but I liked it because I was burning, and there was a cold, so I sat there. We went out, and my president of our ashram said, "Swāmījī, lie down." I said, "God." You said, "God." And I said gold, so this hot life, that is something. And then next year I went to Czechoslovakia, and it was nearby that, which is Prostějov, or what is that? Ostrava and nearby there is one beautiful, again, sauna, so I had a little bit of experience, and that was a communist time. So there was a lot of coal outside, and heat was coming inside, and many people were sitting there. But everyone had a broom and said, "Now we have to beat ourselves." I said, in India we have a little bit like this, making techniques, yoga techniques. But everybody was, and another one came to me, that was a Bhaktānanda. You know, my Bhaktānanda, dear disciple, he is only three years away. So his friends came and said, "Your friend, who is that?" He said, "My Gurudev. Yes, in Czechoslovakia, you can only tell the Gurudev." Guru. In Austria, a yogī. In Austria, a yogī. So, Bhaktānanda said, "Yes, he's my Gurudev." And everyone came with this broom, one backside, one on my head. I said, "Enough, enough." And then I jumped in the cold pool. I do not know how I will come out. So cold. Oh God. And after, it is said, three times or five times going in and out. I knew everything now, how it's very good. And then in that sauna bath, there was one lady, two boys, and ladies and something. And then they made a big, nice slide of the bread and a very nice bit of butter, and there is something kind of powder. What is it they call this? Horse, horse reduce, crane? And they put it. So much on it, like they said it is very nice. It is like a chili, like a chili. I say, "I like a chili," I bite, very good. But when I exhale through the nose, Oh God, it did not go in the nose, but in the whole brain. And I said, "Yes," I said, again going more and more. And all friends, they said to Bhaktānanda, "Your master is very good. Your Gurudev is very good. I think he is the yogī. He can eat so much." So, my dear, there are many good things in life: sun bath, moon bath, gold bath—but not silver bath. Now, then I said, all of this is in our body. It is in our body and outside the body. It's very good, that was good. But still, these people who are maybe a few months, or one, two years, I do not know how they are, all are sunbathing. Then they begin to eat again. I saw one person. She was my disciple, a very nice person. She was making the nails. I was passing in Vienna, and that lady saw me and she said, "Are you the master?" I said, "Yes, please come to me." Yes, she held my hand. "Can I make your nails?" I said, "Oh God, thank you, God, because I want to cut my nails nicely." And she did everything, and she was a great disciple—very humble, very kind. And then she had some friends; they also became yogīs. And then she went somewhere, and for one and a half years she did not come. And she came and told me, "Swāmījī, I do not drink, and I do not eat. This is sunbath." And people from Mexico, they are sitting in the gardens, in the park. And there is one like a sauna inside, with the hot stones where they have hot stones, etc. But she came and she said, "Now I cannot eat, I do not drink, I am very good." Then one day she came to me, "Swāmījī, what can I do?" I say, "What? My old friends, who are inviting me, všichni ty přátelé, kteří mě zvou, vždycky mi nabízejí vodu, a já říkám, ne, ne, ne." Then they offer me alcohol, and I again say no. Milk. And I nothing, I drink no liquid. Good. Well then, let's have something to eat. But I do not eat. So people are then a little sad. "My dear, eat a little bit." She said, "No, no, I'm..." So many want to become her disciple also, that nobody is eating anymore, they're learning. But then she said, "Samājī, I'm boring. No drinking, no eating. People think I'm mad. Swamiji, what should I do?" It's very easy. Eat and drink, and she became back again. So there are many things, techniques in the world. And they say this is yoga. I do not know. So there are many techniques, many things, but if you learn, then you should learn discipline. And slowly, slowly... and there are some good teachers, they are telling how to do, how to sit, everything, so that suddenly you have no hunger. But one thing is very good: if you have too many kilos, it goes away, but you are not dying. You are okay. You can run, you can walk. But some like to do, some do not like. Well, some people like it, some people are pleased with it. Some people do not, but our Yoga in Daily Life, we accept everything when someone is doing the good things. But if this person will be one day healthy, good, etc., or not. So we have our very nice Anuṣṭhāna Cakra and Kuṇḍalinī, and what we call. And this I will explain to you, and those who are practicing, they know they will practice. And those who practice know it, and they will practice it. There are so many points for God. One practice from 5:30, and then the next technique from 5:50 to 6:10. Then from 6:10 to 6:30, and from 6:30 to 6:35, five minutes. And this is the technique: Maṇipūra Śuddhi, Anāhat Śuddhi, Viśva Śuddhi, Viśuddhi to Anāhat Śuddhi, Viśuddhi to Maṇipūra Śuddhi, Maṇipūra to Anāhat, etc. Now, in this one hour, or one and a half hours, how many techniques are you changing? So that is called Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. And these Kriyās, I will talk about this, but to learn, to sit down, that takes time. Otherwise, you can do it one day. Next day, you say, "Swamiji, better your lectures outside." So, it is viśuddhi to maṇipūra. Concentration on the flow of the breathing from viśuddhi to maṇipūra cakra. Inhalation from the Viśuddhi to the Maṇipūra. Exhale from the Maṇipūra to the Viśuddhi. So, how are we learning this? And then, the teacher should be there. Gives you now change. That's very, very good. But one year you have to make the train. But our people, they said, "Yes, and yes, yes," and then they said, "Oh, time has come." They think I will do it. I practice āsanas, prāṇāyāmas, I know. But that is different, and that means no movement. That is a very comfortable thing. Do nothing. Just sit. What does it mean to sit? Do not move at all. No hand movement. No head movement. Do not move forward. Not backward. Be life. Just be alive. I know that I am alive. This technique then awakens those Śaktis inside. So we have our teacher here. They will give you instructions. And other people who are... Before I was for five years, that after I give the training. But I can give you now in three years. And there is alcohol and drugs. This has to go out of the brain. And if you are doing these techniques, and that kind of liquid can make you more, do not know what to do. So, at least three months we have to purify. It is said that if you smoke a cigarette, then from five to eight years we can purify our lungs, and then it is like that. So if you drink alcohol one day, then you will see that there is something in your head. But to clean that again, it takes a long time. Therefore, those yogīs—they are, you are all yogīs—but you have to get again still that which you like to do, and you will achieve somewhere. So you are all here, you know that, and we are all very happy. I am very happy. I came after eight months back, and I was looking very much to see you all. But also the others in America and Canada, I could not go because I had to come back. Now they have two years that I'm not there. So everywhere, but thanks to God, the living God, because I have two gods: one is a God, and second is a living God. And who is that living God? They made like this, so do not worry. You see in Mexico or somewhere else or Atlanta, and I am here. We are sitting very close, so that is thanks to God. So in these eight months, many times we were meeting, we were teaching you some knowledge, so we bear together. But physically coming close, that is a little different. But there are many things: we are far, but not. We are very close, as far as you are, that near we are. And as we go near, we are all far, very far. Because oneness is in the Ātmā. So it was great, but still, it was nice to see you, happy you. So we will have nice programs, and everybody came this time here. All these two weeks, everybody was there. One week I was in Vienna, I know that also, but everybody was silent. When I come, everybody says, "Psst." Nobody talks. That is a miracle, because I will always say, "Please be silent. Be silent." Always talking, and how are you? And what are you doing? But now, immediately, so, talk. And it's quiet, and that's very good. And you know that we have in Hindus, the Jainas, so similar we are all. But all Jain sādhus, they all have this mask, and why are they holding this mask? Because when we exhale, some creatures come and they will die. You can make it. So, because from our mouth, a very bad smell comes. From a horse, smell does not come; from a cow, smell does not come; from all birds, everything, but from humans, smell comes here. Ale z lidské, z lidských úst. Come, come. The whole of, oh, I say, this is not good. That is not good. OK. So, why do humans have so much smell? And why do you people have such an odor? This is because we are eating the seeds. Door also, so in human's body's mouth, a very, very much smell is coming, and this is from all kinds of corns. If we will eat only salad and fruits, we will not have smell too much, so.
