Sisters, brothers, yoga and the life here and around the whole world—yoga is one. There are many different yoga teachers and yoga students, many around the world, and there are different names of yoga. But yoga is one. We say our yoga is in daily life. Others say, for example, Śivananda Yoga. It has to be and should be that many, many different teachers have given their name, but all they are teaching is yoga. Yoga is not only physical, for the physical body, or just breath and concentration, etc. Yoga is very far-reaching, and many great saints and yogīs know about this. They are giving instructions under all different names of yoga, but it is yoga. Everything goes through our body. From the beginning, as Bhagavān Śiva taught, there were eighty-four practices of the āsana. These 84 yoga postures are not only named for humans, but also from many aspects of nature—different animals, trees, etc. Also, there is what is called the meditation or the āsana in the water. It means in the ocean, we can just lie down on the water. From your countries here, the Adriatic Coast, where the water is very nice, most people go there and they all just lie down in the water. On the ocean, they lie straight; that's called the one flower, lying in the water with one posture. Many, many people are doing like this. So there is the practice of the horse, or the trees, the cobras, the snake. The ṛṣis, the yogīs, they were learning and showing that all creatures have the power to live. And so also the breath, inhalation and exhalation. This is very important, and this is part of yoga—physical, mental—all this is what we have. But prāṇa, we call the prāṇa the life. With this oxygen, we are living. We have to practice through yoga, which is called prāṇāyāma. There are different kinds of breathing. These different kinds of breathing, the prāṇas—you are many yogīs sitting here, and you know this all, many things. We are trying to balance in our body. Yoga practice is lifelong. Do not say that you will practice yoga for one month, one year, or five years, and that you will learn everything and then no longer need it. Practicing is until the end of life, just as we are inhaling and exhaling until the end of life. All these five principles are in our body. It all goes with nature. Nowadays, in this Kali Yuga, humans hardly come to the end of a life that lasts a hundred years. Ninety years, eighty years, seventy years. We are living less and less. This is because, in our whole world, all these chemicals are very much, and our life is not enough to love and stay alive. 8.4 million different creatures, and there everyone wants to live life, and we too. It is said, this soul, which is the soul in our body or our life, that is in the body. We are now in the human form, and where the human is, there then is the end. Now, there is either we have to come back, or we go higher. Like we are walking in the hills and we are climbing up; at the end of this piece we are standing. Now we again go back, so we came from the earth and were climbing, climbing, going, and then again we were coming down. This is called the circling. But where we should come to is what we call the highest consciousness. That's called the Supreme. So either we come back again to live more, or we are coming to the Supreme Cosmic. It was said that we are here now, all humans, and we have everything. You are all great people. But it is said our qualities and everything we have—our prāṇas, our powers and everything—we are only using about 14, or twenty to twenty-five percent. But many, many of you may be inside, and you have studied long, very much, and you went to the science. That means that we are coming higher and higher. So there are two parts. One is which is going through schools, colleges, universities, and science, etc., coming higher and higher. Or a yogī, a ṛṣi, yogīs, they are going with their inner self. Maybe they did not study, but they studied on their inner self. So there are two. We cannot say, and we should not say, only doctors and this and that thing. No, no, no. All are great doctors and everything, but when their age is gone and they die, we will see them. We will understand, we will be very thankful to such a person, and we will be sad that this person died. But he or she could not cross the branch from there to the cosmic light. This is the difference. You know, so many things. Now we are going to be aeroplane people. How high and very spread, and we are coming from here, Slovenia, to, let's say, Australia. In one day, or one and a half days, we are so far. So, I always respect all people very much, knowing that we are doing great things. But it is said limited, and limited is the body. When the body is not anymore, then we have the ātmā, our soul. But we don't know what to come again back. We said God—every country, every religion. Everyone has God, but there are two kinds of God. It is one God, but they are separated too. One God is what now we know we are worshipping, but that God is also God. That God is in this space, but we can't touch, we can't see anyone. We did not see our God. We heard, we respect, we pray, we think, but still, we are not there, see. We will say, my God is this way, my God is that way... And the second God, the same God becomes the second God. And that second God, we all? Yes, yes, you are God inside. And we are continuing our living, so we now are a living God that will not die. For example, from ancestors, from that continually we are coming: birth, new birth, this birth. This birth now we are here. Our mother, father, and one child. My dear, we will not go away. We will be God. But we came in that way, that we cannot understand or cannot hold, or we lost it, lost in our consciousness. But still, God is always with us, all the wisdom. Sometimes we are confused, maybe or not. Now, how? Your grandfather, my grandfather, every grandfather. And this grandfather, he gave further from his soul, from the very tiny drop of the energies from the body of the father, to the mother. Now, this is which is going, that God has given everything going, and the father gives the child, and everything is that hair, eyes, bodies, movements—everything in your body is like your father. But we did not understand, or we did not think. Then you are going into different conditions. But still, the soul is running here and there. And so, continuing. We will not say, "Okay, now my father was not," and finished. No. Still there. And so we are all living, living God. I said, your soul, your ātmā in you is your God. And when we learn, and we will understand everything, then yes, we know that is that. So it is 8.4 million creatures? How many? This, then that is coming, circulating. So, in all, one human. Now, there are many humans: one is, let's say, from China, one is from Africa, here in Europe, India, and so on. Some color, different color of skin, but that Ātmā, the soul, is there. So only that one—it doesn't matter which color this country is like—but only one is the human. Then comes another, so all like four-legged animals, like cows, buffaloes, etc., four legs, giving milk. They are all different, different, but it is the one. Similarly, the birds. And so there are many, many creatures, but many are connected to each other. And that's why it is at 8.4 million, 8.5 million creatures. All are circulating, coming and going, coming and going. All creatures know they want to live. And they are living, they run away, this, that. So it is a jīva. Jīva means the soul, jīva, jīva, the soul, the soul, jīva, jīva, bhakṣyate. Every soul, they are eating other creatures. All animals try to eat other animals; then what will happen? Because if they are taking the soul from the others and dying, and this everything, then we are all the same, cycling. Therefore, it is in God, that cosmic God. God said, "I give you as a human, and I give you." All, everything you can do, anything you have in your brain, everything. So from this you can go towards the cosmic, that you become like one edge, this key, this cone completely in the space. And space, how can we understand? How far? No far. And in the space, there is all, everything. One child asked the father, "Father, is there an end anywhere? What we call that from far distance, we see something on the highway road, and there we see the water on the road. We are driving, but that water is far and far." Where is that? How far is that? Father, this heritage, that is, as far as you see, you will run, but that will go as far as remains, so endless. That is called the endless. And in that endless, it is in the space, oneness. And the rest, they are stuck in many stars and many things. But I have not seen there. I am only telling you, my dears. In the books, in holy books, it is written. That's what I am telling you. You have much more knowledge than me. I have different knowledge, you mean. We are living this, but we are all trying to come to the part that we want to be there, further than the thing. I hope that if in this life we have not come to the cosmic, then next life. But I will say, I cannot tell you the next life again. Where will it go, and how and where will it happen? Beautiful green leaves on the trees. And after a few months, the leaves will fall down. The wind will come, the leaves are gone somewhere, and we don't know if they will come again on this tree or not. But that will come in a different way, in a different form; it will come to them the same. Really going on. Whatever is that has gone out is like a diet, but that will come. Someone died, went to the funeral, and there was only a body. It died and it becomes something: grass or the tomatoes coming, and we eat the tomatoes again, and it goes down something in our body. This is the cycling, very, very much. So, as humans, conscious, many have different paths. But since to myself, I'm in the spiritual or a yogī or something, what you call, that we will come to the cosmic self. Don't stand anywhere. The heaven and the hell, they are only two lakes: one is a big lake and one is a small lake. But how will it come again? But when we will come to the cosmic, then we will become like the sky, completely sky, in oneness. We have to work. Ourselves, you all have, and you are doing, and I'm sure that you have great knowledge in you. So there are two works which I told you, that everything what we are doing—house making, this making, that—everything is good. But when we are gone, then how will we come? Oh God. It is not easy to know that God, but at least in our body, when we will do good things, spiritual things, friendly things, everything, no war. The thing is, now many are in the war. Why? Animals are fighting, maybe. Oh man, why are we fighting? So there are very rare, though, who want to bring and come the people on the good way, yes. So my dear, I give you today: you are great, you are God. One drop comes from the ocean to the clouds, and comes as one drop on our head. And we are in the ocean, and we see in our hand a drop. Under our hand is the ocean, and on my palm is only a drop. In my hand is a drop. But when this drop will fall into the ocean, there is no Maestro Anand's hand. The drop cannot get this drop back. Become the ocean. So that is that. We have to become one, and that now you have to know you do yourself. Learn yourself, practice yourself, understand yourself, and make thyself that I am a human. So, in the morning when we wake up, we open our eyes and mentally say to ourselves, "I am human." When in the morning we open our eyes from our bed, and we said we are human. When we said we are human, how many energies and good things and happiness awake in our body because you said, "I am a human." And we are the human. I look to get up from the bed. Earth, Mother Earth. Mother, can I step on you? It means, where am I walking? Where will I go? What will I do? I went there, and I came home. Please, I came home healthy and well. And then you look left and right. Good. Oxygen, all the trees, and I open my windows. And then we come to the bathroom or to the water. If not, then tomorrow you should try this. Morning, we wake up, and the first drop of water in your palm suddenly sends energy through the whole body. Morning, tomorrow, the first time you touch or take the water, it goes into each and every nerve system. In these waters, feelings, energy goes into us. And then, further, about these five elements, what we talked about. So I am Myself, that Yourself, okay? I'm not telling you, Myself is Myself, the Ātmā is Myself, Ātmā. And I will go on that path where I wanted to go. And so, again coming to this, yogīs practicing towards the soul, ātmā, and we other people, we are working to the outsides. We should have good children, good friends, good mothers, good fathers, and live a good life. Eat what we should eat. Jīv, jīv, bhakṣate, animals kill and eat the animals. But humans understand now. You have a little cat in your house, and your cat is in your hand. Children like, parents like. And if somebody beside you would kill your cat and bring it, what do they call it, to eat meat, no, we will be so angry: "Who killed my cow?" Because you understood. You took this as yours, like a family. Or a dog, or a cow, or a horse, etc. Human, understand what are the animals, what is life, and what is total. So, I give you only some little thoughts, but today you should think before sleeping. You will understand, and in the morning you will do. And so, what I told today in the morning: when you get up, you will open your eyes and you will say, "Swāmījī, I am the human. What?" I told you this morning, yesterday, that I am human. And now you will say, "I am human." Awakening inside, and you will laugh. Good things, you will laugh. I am the human. Nobody will say to you that you are not a human. So this is that awakening, mourning in us the immense, the immense of the good things in our heart. And with this, we will tell tomorrow. I am here again, and we will come today. I am very happy to see you, my dears, and God bless you all. Whole families, children, friends, all should be healthy, and be ourselves in us. With this, thank you.
