Good evening, all dear devotees, sisters, brothers, children—wherever you are around the whole world, you are here with me now. With this technology, Swamiji is on television in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, America, Mexico—everywhere. It is great that we can be sitting here, yet speak and see each other across thousands of kilometers. These are great things we can have. And there is Yoga in Daily Life, under the grace of Bhagavān Siddhi, Nara, and Mahāprabhujī. What we know is Śrī Devapurījī, Alakpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Holī Gurujī. What Gurujī has given me, all his blessings, has spread around the whole world where millions of people are practicing Yoga in Daily Life. It is a beautiful time to practice. This year, we have some difficulties. We have this corona, and many people have problems. But we have to return to the path. We have to learn not only to go to school and college, but we should know we can do many things. We should learn not only to study at university, but to do many tasks—cleaning the house, cooking, again cleaning, all things we can do. Then a person becomes complete. If one knows only one science, or some techniques, or one kind of work, it is not enough. We are human, and we know that from birth until death, we should and can develop our own techniques. So yoga is not only for the physical body; it is about the Cosmic Consciousness. Our soul, our Self, is also very nearby. It is something like the ocean. Our Earth is a little, but more is the whole water. From this ocean, steam rises. That steam is like fine droplets, and that is what we call the jīva. Jīva means we are including all creatures where there is life, like a tiny drop of the ocean. Then it goes high into the skies as clouds. Though clouds, they are also only dew drops, water. Again, it comes together and becomes big drops, and it falls again to earth. And we want again to go into the ocean. So our soul is the same, be it in humans, animals, birds, or fish. Each one has a life, and we should not disturb the life of anyone. It's not easy; animals eat animals. But only one, the human, has to take great care. Still, sometimes we say we are stepping on grass. We cut some trees. But this is a different form of life. If we take a branch from a tree, it has a life, but it is living. Therefore, we must also survive. In that way, life is difficult. Life in which the soul—the soul cannot say yes or no. It is coming like a bird in a nest, sitting in the nest. In the morning it will fly out. With this, the soul is going everywhere. It is said in the Śāstra, "Kātyāyana, Agni, and Brahmā said that no one can kill or cut the jīva." But that jīva is not only that; my jīva, we are all. Water is the water. Air is the air. Earth is the earth. Fire is the fire. Air is the air. All these elements are there, and they are all around the soul, protecting us, protecting the physical bodies. Afterwards, when the soul goes out of the body, then you will see we are again in a different life. We are very unhappy when someone dies. We are unhappy—maybe our parents, our mother, our children, our animals. Everything. So that feeling is here, and perhaps above there, on this side also. In that way, it is said that God—I think, I say, I don't know, I did not speak with Him. If I may ask and speak with God, He may say, "Aha." He will not talk completely, but we have to follow that. So God said to the human, "I gave you everything, all abilities we have. Now you should know what to do." But again, humans think it is very difficult. When God gave to humans, "My child, I gave you everything." Then God gave everything. But now, what do we say to God? "God, I now have the power. I will not follow you. I will kill you." God said, "My child, I gave you everything, but how are you doing? I gave you, but I locked it. The lock is like what we have, a number combination. How many numbers? For the humans, it is not only a few." So God said, "My child, I gave you everything. I gave you all capacity, but I... will not give you complete power so that you can kill anybody and act like that. If it is like that, you will suffer. In this life, maybe you suffer or not, but then you will suffer for ages and ages." Somewhere in Christianity, what they said: heaven and hell. Who is in heaven? The Father. Who did what the Father told us to do? And who does not follow God? God doesn't need anything. He doesn't say, "Please." We tell God, "Can I tell the disciple, 'Can you give me this or this?'" No, no. But follow that path. Don't kill anyone. Don't cause problems for anybody—humans, animals, anything. Otherwise, you go into hell, and we don't know how many ages we will be somewhere suffering. Only we humans know this; animals don't. And maybe animals know it also, but we don't know. They know, and animals have a certain capacity. Only they have the capacity to live, eat, live, and give children. But, oh man, not only this. You have more than that: khānā, pīnā, bhogṇā, paśubhī, sādhanā. Khana, pina, bhogna. Eating, drinking, and enjoying. Khana, pina, bhogna, and doing all that you want to do. That also animals can do. Oh man, oh human. All creatures can do this. Even a little ant, they all make eggs. Everything. All humans, if you are also doing only that much, then why are you feeling life as if you are a human? In that way, it's not easy. Some people think this is a different tradition, maybe a different religion. It's very, very difficult for us to know exactly. Therefore, it is said: just live. Live your life in a good way. Do good things for everyone. Do not do anything negative. You will suffer; my death is here. After death, the soul is going. This astral body, what are we calling it? Maybe they are in the astral body. Maybe they see everything, but we can't see. And they need neither water nor breath; they don't need anything. And two things: are we in the cosmic world? Are we together with someone? We are sitting and having a satsaṅg like this. We go for eating, dancing, everything, or we don't know anyone. And nothing. We are everywhere. We don't need to sit down. We can go through the rocks, through the waters—the jīva, the soul. But what is that damn life? Many times someone comes in a dream. And we humans, we make ceremonies. Someone dies, we are unhappy with all animals and everyone when they die. But after death, we make a ceremony. And then we see that they are now in death, burned in the fires or in the earth, etc. But that soul is gone. When one dies, what we call the body dies. That soul goes out. The soul said, "How many years I was in a cage!" Like we put a bird in a cage, we are looking out. We cannot fly. We cannot go out. No friends are there. Maybe other birds are looking from outside, but we are in the cage. One day, mistakenly, their master leaves the door of the cage open, and the bird, or any kind of bird, flies out. How quickly? They said, "Oh my God, my bird's glad, my bird's gone." We were giving good water. We were giving food. They had a nice time. They were nice here, happy. But that bird said, "I was imprisoned from that day to this day. Now I fly very far." They say, "Have you seen my bird somewhere?" So it is also; we should not put them in the cage. Please don't do it. Animals, etc., us. Let them be free. You can give them food. You can throw the food, and these animals eat. Similarly, we ourselves are in a cage—the cage of our body. And we don't know how much we will suffer. We are feeling our body; we have bone problems, muscle problems, nerve problems, organ problems, etc. Who is that? That jīva is suffering in this. And we are trying to keep ourselves, because we are in a cage for so long. And we don't know where we will go when I'm gone out. Then no one will come with us. There was someone telling a joke or something, let's say. The grandfather died, and they were very unhappy. The funeral took place. It is said one should not keep a long dead body within the sun. When the sun sets, no funeral; then we are sitting there, we give light, and we make some pūjā. But the next day, we must have the funeral. And then there are different methods. Some put them in the water, in the rivers or somewhere. Some put them in holes in the earth. Some burn in the fire. And there are other people, the Parsis, they are called the Parsis, and they take their dead body somewhere, without any cloth or anything, and put it outside in the forest so that animals will eat it. There is no soul, and at least this body will say, "That gives my body to everyone." So there are many traditions, but they died. Until that great-grandfather passed away, he was a great man, a very positive person, a humble person. The whole village and neighboring villages were very happy with him. And when he died, everyone was very sad. There were hundreds of thousands of people who went to the funeral. Well, everyone, they made the funeral with fire. After evening, all were sitting in the house, the family. They could not sleep at all. About ten o'clock, it was winter—dark, dark, and cold in a small village. People were sitting there. Someone was talking about grandfather and so on. Then that great-grandfather came to the window outside and was knocking. They opened the curtain. "Godfather is there. No, no, he's a ghost, he's a ghost!" And closed it. He goes outside of the house. He became the ghost, and he's talking. "Please, can I come, my children?" But he cannot speak. It's only like an astral body. They said, "Oh God, the whole problem disturbed." So he said, "That's all, my children. My whole life I was with you, and very nice, and you, I'm freezing, and you can't open my door. It's my house." He said, "No." All closed, light off. That is that, our grandfathers. But we know how long it is like this. It is said, when from this cage the soul is gone, it's so speedy, just like this, like a flame, it's going far and far and far, where the flame has gone. So, when this flame is gone, where has it gone? Light, where has it gone? Deepak bhuj gayā, kahā̃ gayā? The lamp is extinguished, where has it gone? Deepak bhuj gayā, kahā̃ chalī gayī, this light. That is exactly our soul. It is gone. Then we can do everything; we can fight each other. "It is my house, and I want to have this house, and I want this money." For what? We are only talking about properties. Only one person said, "You may take all. I only had my great-grandfather, and he is with me now, and I will be with him. What can I do? What do I need from him? Everything will remain here, you or me also." I said, "It's my book, let's go. Take this, take this." But that soul doesn't need anything. Therefore, let's go. Who said? Great, great saints. Great yogīs. Great gods, the holy saints. Every country, every religion, they have God and everything. And so they give us, "My child. I gave you freedom, just go for playing. Have a good meal. Now I will again take with me my child." Think hard, very much. Many, many people are old and old. No one takes care. In the hospital or anywhere, they only say, "This should die. Let it go, die." That's all. We humans also. But try to give love. When we were in the mother's womb, you know, in the mother's womb, how we came from the cosmic, from the cosmos, through the air, through the water, through the fruits or something, and came to the mother's body. It comes to the navel. We have the navel, and this is very tiny, the tiniest, this navel inside. The navel becomes after, and life is there. We will not think that in the brain, or in the heart, etc. You are connected from the cosmic to this astral world through these five elements. They enter, come to there, and into the mother's body. And again, the body is constructing. The father knows, but I don't know. But the mother knows, and she's beginning to talk with that. And you know, we all go day by day and month by month. Sometimes there are two—maybe brother and sister. Then we say, "That's enough." The mother was suffering, eight once, now we don't want. But someone said, "No, let my children come more: one, two, five, ten." The Australian king, queen, how many children here? Austrian, yes. So anyhow, very good. But now you cannot get more children, because they have lost all seeds. Only one comes, one will be, and then you have to get a new one. And we don't know which soul will be there in this world. Now, what they are telling, you see in many hospitals, there is written. I was in the Czech Republic, here in Dr. Martin's hospital. So we went somewhere, went to some doctor. And there was one sign: "Egg Bank." So if you want to give the bank, I said, "Bank of the eggs of the bank?" I don't know. I had asked, I had not asked. Then I asked Mansa Devi, "What is that egg's bank?" Then he said, "No, it is for the humans." Where is my father? And where is my mother? Who was my mother with that? This Kali Yuga, this is a Kali Yuga. So the seed is there. There is one poem. It's a very nice poem. It is said: Pata, leaves of the tree. Pata, tuta da, lese, fall down. I was with that, my branch, my family, but now these leaves became old. Then a strong wind came and took that wind very far. Mother was here, but the leaf is gone forever. Strong wind, the leaf, the wind has taken away these leaves, and it is thrown out the other side of the hill. Now, when we separate it, when then we will come again together? So we, the soul, our bodies, all human—and therefore every religion, maybe some religions not, but Christians very much, Hindus very much, Buddhists very much, I think Muslims also—where is this soul going? And so we protect that my parents, my families, should be in my kingdom—the kingdom of the earth. And may I come again to my parents. Sometimes people are talking that, "Yes, my daughter, this is exactly like my grandmother." Yeah, it is because of that egg. You don't know where she is; she is not dead. But at least we say, "May it be mine." But there is no blood in it. In the cell, this cell, the jīva, we cannot pull anything inside. That is completely different, but still we are sometimes thinking. When I die, when I will die, they say, "I will give my children everything. And children, please take care. May I come again to you, my dear." But we don't know. It's a very fine drip of the water, which comes, wind down the air of the water, rain, and drip to drip becomes the water, then coming creek, and then the river, and again going to the ocean. So when I will be again, therefore, my dear, your children, your parents, mothers, grandparents—keep them together. Do not take the leaf out somewhere. When you are first husband and wife and make children, then you should continue that. Otherwise, you think, "I'm happy, and yes, I take other girls or other women or children there. Temporarily, it is good. I am happy there, and this and that." But you will be suffering in the cage somewhere in this space or as a human. Even you should know, the animals also are controlling very much. So in the stomach, in the womb of the mother, it seems there are two. And there are these two babies. So the girl said to her brother, "Brother, when we are born, it will be nice." He said, "Where should we go?" "No, there is nothing out. We are here. We will speak." "What will you speak?" "Oh, we will eat, my brother. We will eat. We are not eating. We are here." And she said, "And we will be very big, and we will also get children." "Don't talk nonsense things. This is a talking between in the stomach." "Yes, talking like that." And it will speak further and more. So, my dear, everything, even the jīva, is in the egg. And the egg knows, and the bird knows. And that's why, mother, mother, warm that mountain. And there it will develop dead babies. So, to take a dog egg, and then it's not good. And that is not food. That is a different thing; I will talk about it later. So, my dear, we are human, and let's try to know: what am I? What should I do? I should not give trouble to anyone, not kill them, not take their blood. It is a lot, you know, the Christians, a lot of it. How is the mother of Jesus suffering until her son died? And Jesus himself, how much he had to suffer. He did not feel troubles or pain. It was his body. But his body is like ours, but he is the highest God. But he saw us, he saw us, "My children, look, don't suffer like that." And that's why we go to church, we kneel down, and we pray, and whenever we see the Holy Mother, we bow down. But we've forgotten now. We are doing, yes, my religion, my church, my this. But what are you doing? Killing a cow, many animals, not like this. Well, my dear, I wanted to talk today about this yoga, Haṭha Yoga, and Haṭha is beautiful. I didn't think that I would talk about this, but my Gurudev, I look really, every day I bring something, and I said I will talk about this today. And here the boss said, "Do go there." And who is my boss? Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī. And you are my friends, all my dears. It is your heart that is calling me. And my heart is opening there, and my heart is thanking God. Oh.
