Good evening, all dear sisters and brothers, to Yoga in Daily Life around the whole world. I deeply respect all ashrams, yoga centers, yoga teachers, and yoga students. Through them, we are bringing this Kali Yuga into the Satya Yuga. Therefore, we should respect and know all, and they should practice this science of yoga. It is not for one person or one country, but for every human being everywhere. Practice is that awakening within ourselves. We are getting practice. Practice is not from outside; it is from our inner self. It is just that many of us are sleeping inside, in our body only. Therefore, other masters or gurus, whatever you call them, will awaken our inner science. In our human body, there is so much science or knowledge, and we cannot awaken everything. We can, but we cannot manage everything. Yet the yogīs said you have everything here on the earth, in this whole globe, in the space above, and further. We cannot get everything, but we have it, and time to time it awakens within ourselves. That’s a blessing, and when someone gets this, it is from you. It is in our whole body, but someone is awakening us. For example, you are meditating in a park, and a big animal, a cobra, comes slowly. It may bite you. You are meditating with your eyes closed, sitting. Another friend of yours is sitting a little distance away with his eyes open. The snake comes. That friend, about five meters distant, will wake you: "Friend, a snake will bite you!" Immediately we wake up, eyes open, and we get up. That is that awakening. Awakening is within our self, but that someone informed us. That is a guru or your friend who is awakened, but it is inside. We have many, many qualities within ourselves, and if we can learn something and get something, you have it. So you will become aware, conscious, full of knowledge, etc. For example, we have an instrument for singing, like a flute. Two people are sitting, and there is only one flute. One says, "Please, can you play?" The same person, his friend, same age, everything. The other one takes the flute, and immediately even the birds are looking. Who cannot? He cannot play the flute; he cannot do so. It is not in the flute, but it is the master who, from himself, from his sound, from his breath, lets it go through the flute. One is a very good friend, but he can’t play the flute, and the other one can immediately. This is just an example. Everything we have within ourselves. It just takes a long time if you want to learn flute. We can learn, but after the teacher tells you how, which are the points, and gives you a lecture, that has awakened in our consciousness, in our breath, our lungs, etc. Then it will still take you a few years to become that flute player. We are sitting now on this Swāmījī TV, around the world, who is listening. And you can see who can and who cannot. If you want to become perfect—now, what is perfect? Many, many things. Learning car driving: after some days or a month, you will learn. The driver is sitting beside you, telling you how to drive. Then he says you are perfect, you can drive. You get the certificate, and then your master says, "Thank you, all the best, good luck, and learn exactly what I give you." He gives you the key, you go in, and you will start. But the first time you are alone in the car: "Oh my God!" Similarly, when our Guru or our yoga teacher or others tell you everything, the awakening in yourself is called Ātmā. That Ātmā is awakening. But don’t say that now I am God, I am the master. Still, not even in universities—professors, or in hospitals—doctors, professors, surgeons—but they are also in the evening at their house, home, or in their hospital room, turning the books and again learning. Because when the surgeon opens the body, at that time that person says inside, "May this be God." They say, "My God, my God." Or if someone doesn’t ask about religion or God, then they will also say, "I must concentrate. I hope it will be okay." You know, some are making an operation for a few hours, sometimes five hours, and they go to have lunch, eat, and again come until they are sleeping in the jacuzzi. Coming and going, but heart inside, confidence. And in this confidence, we are very alert. When you go to the car learning, and the master says, "Now you are a master of driving," who was in the car? After half a kilometer or five kilometers, you come back, and your master was drinking coffee somewhere there and waiting. When you got out of the car, your thighs were trembling. Someone very nervous means still not mastered, so he said, "Master, what should I do? Because tomorrow you will not be with me." He said, "I told you I will help you all." So he said, "What should I be more aware of?" He said, "First, look back side in the car. The back bone. The front. Close that boot also. Open how it is opening. Where is the water, petrol, and oil? Close it, back side. And you are sitting in the car. You are sure the wheels, how they are. Then, driving your car at the speed of a hundred fifteen, or twenty, or ten kilometers per hour, is allowed under your car. Is that okay or not?" You say, "But Master, Master, I’m sitting inside. What should I look like?" That means you are still not the driver. On the top, but how should I see on my up? Then you are not a driver. Backside. You must be very alert, and therefore you have the mirror, and you have to, all the times, be looking: what back side is opening, back side, similarly left side, right side, and in the front, and steering. And the people who are with you in your car, don’t talk too much. If you talk too much, okay, you can talk. But don’t talk with them, yes. "How are you?" like this, yes. Yes, you have everything, you are perfect, but one day you are laughing and looking backside like this, and sometimes what happens? You are looking, and your will is you are looking like this accident. So the master tells you, you are not a perfect driver. And that is yoga. That is exactly: look, everything on the foot soles, our knees, the whole body. We should know, and oh driver, you should know which part of the body has pain. So, this is the mechanism, and that mechanism of out and in. Similarly, first we have to go to the five sheaths: Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, Ānandamaya. And these all should be awakened. Among many things, the Holy Gurujī has made a beautiful bhajan about that, which I will tell, but today is not the time. So, are you awakened, or are you only like what you like? What you like, it’s okay, but what you are liking is not your good things. But what you don’t know, and how it can happen, that you have to master. Similarly, also with eating: how we eat, what we eat, from where we eat, and what we do. What God has given us, so in this way is that program which we have learned, and our Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. In the night, I was sleeping only four hours. But there, in these four hours, maybe two or three times I was going to look at the water where it is. Also, I was looking at the lamp from Gurujī’s temple. So, more or less, awakened all the time but sleeping. And there, sleeping but awakening. And yesterday, what happened in my sleeping? Maybe not a dream, but I was trying Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. I don’t know how long I was doing it, maybe, and then I said, and I wake up, I hope nobody is beside me. So that means you are sleeping, maybe you are dreaming or... not this, or this, but you are learning that. And now, this brahmari is going—this sound, it is a sound, resonance. But now, after I woke up, I went to the bathroom, I took a little water, and I said, "Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, how many are there?" But I am only one car, and for which direction I am turning the car, the sound, etc. So, sound, resonance, there is one beautiful bhajan written about that, and this is like a brahmari. And some who are singing bhajans, or any kind of bhajans, singing... The vocal cords, how the sound is coming, and we can change many times. We can say, for example, you know that in India, on a train, one person comes and brings the chai. At home, you make tea, you give the water in the cup to your family or friends, the tea. You say, "Do you want to drink tea? Can I give you more?" It’s the same good voice, but the train has a little noise, and they have a training on how to ask someone for tea, if you want to have a tea. And I will say, "Please, can I have chai?" Hey friend, chai pilau. Oh friend, please bring me chai. Where is the chai? So there is one in the train who is always making you sound. "Do you want to have tea?" And people sitting in cabins said, "Yes, can you call us for tea?" The men’s sound, the women’s sound. And who’s coming with the tea and coffee? And then they said, "Chai, chai, chai, chai... Sugar, chai, coffee, coffee, chai, chai." You see that, how? Who was this? Who was that? In my, what I was talking. So that is like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, and that even it goes vibration through our whole body, till our big toes it will come. So, like Mirabai, what he called in the net, like Mirabai, who had on herself such decorative ornaments and sang. Yes. Paggā guṅgarū bandh mīrā. By so many ways, we can say you have tied your head only. She has a string on her wrist. Pāgāguṅgarubandhmīrā Natsire. So these are in our body, not outside. And that is in the whole body. Sometimes, people singing bhajans put their hand like this. And sometimes people singing bhajans, they put their hand like this. Coming here, so this is everything that God has given us in our body, everything. But we cannot be masters of all. There is something we can learn in this. Similarly, in our ātmā, in our jīva, there we are. We should know, "Who am I within myself?" And so we have to master our body. And so, yoga, and through yoga then it comes, and then we are, we will go more and more on that path. Then this sound, that sound takes us. After, not that we take the sound, but the sound is taking us. Similarly, Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, this we will do tomorrow. And today, only in a dream in the night, only very little, two things: very good. In the morning, you will wake before waking up. In the dream, you should wake yourself: "Chai, chai!" Then all in the house will wake up. Chai, chai. Thank you. All the best. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva kī. Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān kī. Alak Puruṣa Mahādeva kī.
