Good evening, my dear sisters, brothers, yoga teachers, yoga students, and to yoga in life around the whole world, and to all the many, many yoga centers, different yoga schools, ashrams, and temples. When we learn in our yoga centers, we have different techniques, and we feel good. I wish to say, and it is not only my feeling, but I do think that all different yoga āśrams are the best; all of them are good. It does not matter if it is associated with a religion or no religion. This is what God has created, and from where humans have come. Humans have slowly, slowly come a far distance to the present. Long ago, we were mostly in the forest. We were not immediately as we are now; it was ages and ages ago. But we have divided, and we think of what is good for humans, for other creatures, and for all forests, etc. Yoga is for good health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship. This is the purpose of yoga. Now, in this yuga, many are coming, and everyone has different thinking. This thinking, this difference, is varied. And when we all come together, yes, we sit together and agree on this and that, but still we are separate. They are separated, but for good things. For example, one has a farmhouse with different kinds of fruits. Others have some kind of vegetables. Others have wheat. So everyone is doing good for themselves and also giving to others. Long ago, as my grandparents were telling, at that time there was no money. Slowly, slowly, maybe coins of silver or gold came, but that is a very recent time. Before that, there was no money, no coins, nothing, and they were living very happily. Everyone was giving to each other. Some were giving vegetables, some were giving milk from the cows. What we needed was enough for a harmonious life. When you had milk cows, you would give the milk to others. Others would give some fruits. There was giving and happiness. After that, money became more prominent, arriving in the Dvāpar Yuga. At that time, everyone wanted to have what others had. But then God came. What name did they say for God, who has everything? It is said the king at that time was like a god, and gold came. They said, "No, we do not give place to the gold." But gold said, "You have to give. When I ask, then you give. You give land, you give cows, you give your many families living happily." No one came forward saying, "I am the gold." The king said, "We have no more space." So then gold said, "Give me a place." The king said, "Well, gold is somewhere in the earth, and very little, so give him a place." And when he said yes, the king asked, "Will my gold have a place or not?" Gold said, "I do not want to give you any place." Then the king asked, "Okay, can I put gold on your head?" "How? Oh, very nice, something." And then it became the gold. Now it was a little, but very powerful: gold. And so now, all we are looking for is gold. Slowly, slowly we come and say, "Yes, I want to have it." I cannot give it to you because it is very expensive. Slowly, slowly, they said the same about cow's milk. Everyone gave milk. They made yogurt, butter, ghee, and gave it. But then it was said, "How expensive is the milk?" "No, that is nothing. I want to give you milk because I have little children. I give you milk for your children. Just give it." Then people began to give milk for what? For coffee and tea. Okay, you can have tea, why not? So there we became accustomed to drinking. They gave milk for the tea, and people liked it. Some people made a shop and began to make tea and coffee with milk. When you make coffee or tea, you need milk. You have to give money for the coffee and tea. So they are taking milk, giving it, but they are giving nothing in return, and money and everything is going. So they said, "If you want to give milk for the tea and coffee, then you have to give money." So you know, tea and coffee, even at a petrol station. We go for petrol, and there is coffee, tea. How expensive is one coffee? Sometimes they say four euros. How much is that? You say, "Okay, one coffee, tea for me, tea for you." We are five in the car. How much money goes? And then somebody has a golden ring or something gold in the nose. So they are giving tea, coffee, and giving from that gold. Likewise, we humans, now what are we doing? Great. We are doing good, but we are losing. A good house, good dress, good instruments like a car, airplanes, and everything here. This is all how we slowly, slowly went in this way. But then it is said, you have everything. Someone says, "I have gold and land, many things. Man, I have everything." But again, that gold says, "See, no. I will remain, not you." And so, a very rich person—we do not know where the money is, or what kind of any gold or silk—and then it is said God said, "Enough, you enjoy enough, but this is not yours." "Of course, it is mine. God, what do you think now?" Yes. There was a story that I am not telling, but God gave everything and said, "Now we do not need you; we are all doing." Humans, how we are... but then God, I do not know where he is sitting. We never see him, but he sees us. And so, what they said, he touched one: "Your gold, remain here, and we die at Hari Om." O men, for what we came, how we want to live, everything was good, but you did not understand me, O my humans. You did not understand God. Come on. So it does not matter which religion, which place, anywhere. Only human. If one is human, that is all. So it is my religion, your religion, their religion; it is all good. But when our breath comes out—very often we inhale and exhale—in the car, there is something, you know, how will it go? But it stops that. So live good, happy, relaxed, and many were living very many years. Now we have all, but we cannot enjoy. And so we are here, but again, God said, and God said this: "Please live healthy, happy, relaxed, etc." And that is God giving us yoga. And what is yoga? We will see. If we see the old books, everywhere, every yoga center, they tell you which kind of practice you are doing. Which kind of mantra means a kind of practice. But we think this yoga is for this, and no, it is God who has given yoga like this to make our body healthy, happy, long-lived, and peaceful. We think that yoga is for this and for that, but God gave us yoga so that we could have a healthy body, a happy body, so that we could live in it for a long time, so that we could live our lives happily, feel relaxed, feel comfortable, and do good. Hari Om.
