Good evening, all my dear sisters, brothers, all our yogīs in daily life around the whole world, and all the many others—yoga centers, other yoga teachers, ashrams in all countries. We also respect them and say to them, "Om Namo Nārāyaṇa." We know it has been many months, a full year already, since we were all together like this. But we were always together, and that is the blessing of Alak Purījī, Bhagavān Śrī Dev Purījī, Ārādhy Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, and our Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandī. By their blessings, we are healthy, happy, relaxed, and we are good at home also. During this time, all yoga practitioners, our disciples, everyone in their home, thought more about yoga, our friends, brothers, sisters, our yoga and their life. We were longing to see each other. Many people were at home doing prayers, practice, āsanas, prāṇāyāmas, and satsaṅg. Many school children were home, not in school, so they also learned a lot from their parents. Time has gone very quickly, and they are all healthy, happy, and spiritually developed. Now we are together. I think you all saw me with my Swāmījī on television, so you were practicing every day—morning, lunchtimes, or evenings. We had a very nice time. The only difficulty was that we could not go to work; many companies closed. Those with the government had everything—salary, money—but others had little problems. Yet in many countries, nearly every country, the government was giving support so people could live. Our techniques, our practice, our sādhanās, our yoga, is very spiritual in such a way that we see our cosmic reality, our gods, etc. We are with them already now. These techniques and sādhanā allow us to work on ourselves spiritually and to be in contact with the Cosmic. When we meditate, many people meditate without mantras, without the use of a mālā. They don't know where they are, what is there, or if they are sleeping. So, what are we searching for? Suddenly, with no mantra, no mālā, they are lost. It is like one deer separated from the herd, running here and there, finding nothing. The others have their path; they are all together. So first, we must know our self and what we are doing; then we get one path. Many other countries, many other religions, are doing according to theirs, and that is very good. Everyone has their own path. Otherwise, nobody would do prayers. There are different kinds of religions and prayers; they also have many mālās, or one holy name, and that name is like a mantra. There we are meditating, thinking of Holy Mother, Holy Father, or others: Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Buddha, Gurudev, etc. But it is like this: one has to have one path. For example, in this little village, there are many houses. That means there are many husbands and wives, and they have children. Every house, that one family, has their children. Others have others. But we are all one in this city or village. So we are all on different paths of some guru. Some gurus are only on the surface, only talking too much. There are many yogic or yoga paths, many different levels. But it has to all come on their own path; we are all on the path. We will come to one point where the Guru, God, are somewhere. All comes together, like when rain comes from the clouds. There is one drop of water, so all is one drop by drop. We see how much water is dropping, but all the drops come together, then go to form a little creek, which flows to the river, and enters the ocean. Similarly, every creature—humans or any other—will become one. Coming from one point, going up, coming together, and returning again to one point, again coming together to become the ocean. That Guru is not only a Guru from this year only. It is from the ages and ages—like from Śiva, through Satya Yuga, Dvāpar Yuga, Tretā Yuga, and Kali Yuga. From Śiva to all other creatures, we will melt all into one. So we cannot say only we are now. Yes, as humans we are, but every human has a different color, different country, different height—yet all are human. This all is that one as a human. Also, all birds and animals have their eggs or babies, and they have their path. They are going on their path. Every bird knows how to fly automatically. Their mother will tell, the father will tell. But again, they are all coming to the light of God. Some are lost, but one day they will find the path. We all have been; how many times we were, we don't know. And now we are in the human form. In the human, we now know what it is and where and how we will go. Every creature, even a little ant, has nice little eggs, and they know where to put them. If the rain comes, they know before and will take all eggs up to some high place or into some trees. So every creature knows where to go, where we are, and where we are going. Similarly, our trees, grass, bushes, everything—that is also life. All trees are life, and they give oxygen. We live from that. So it is said that everyone has the path, and they know God has given them this. God will say, for example, to a snake... all these animals they are slaughtering, and God has given them this. You see, what we have—our body, feet, hands, toes, fingers, everything. And a snake? It has eyes, that's all, and eating, that's all. But this is also living very much. It feels very happy, leaving everything to live. That's it. God has given to everyone how to do. God has given this life; you have to go in that way. And next life will come another. So, oh man, don't think that only we. God has given, and who is God? Where is God? Many relations or religions, some say God is only in His space. We are worshipping all difference, and that is what God has given us. Similarly, our path, yoga, is a very clear path. It is said that as we live, animals and all creatures also want to live like that. Oh man, God said, "I gave you everything, and I give you this. That’s all." But we know that God has gone. He’s observing, but He gave—the human eye gave you everything. And you know we are, but still, we are lost. We lost it, part lost it, and therefore we are saying to God, with prayers, we call Him God, O Lord, etc. Because we are lost, or we don’t want to be lost, we will have our path. "Please, my Lord." And maybe that is only within ourselves, in our heart, so He is sitting in us. Who is that? We are that, or it is He. So He and I, how do we know that? Because we and they, so they will say, and what we will say, the same thing. So these two become one. For example, water is water. But there are different qualities. Similarly, there is God, or the pure water. And the water is now very not good. That’s it. Because water is water. If it’s milk, or it is water, or juice, everything is water. Which will go when? And so, some is what we call, the water becomes very not clean. Put your test. Yeah. All polluted. Now, the water, one water we have in a glass, very nice, very clean, very good. Same water, but it is polluted. And that sometimes even we can’t see it. What is that? Because you gave something which must not, should not be. So it is, oh God, you are all pure. God gave everything, oh human. I gave you very pure, very, like a God. But what happens, and what are we doing? And, of course, nobody can say to that that you are not good. But we know who is who. So in this way, our yoga is not only exercises. Otherwise, we are only living in this body. Yes, and you know that in yoga, mostly all postures are from the animals. You know how many? Yes? Yes or no? Yes. Okay. In such a world, which I want to know, that doesn’t say it like this. We should say yes. Thank you. Okay? Yes. Yeah, this is that. So, it is a, if you know, are you know, then you can tell, will you take this same thing? Next one will say, "Who are you?" to tell me like this. Our tongue is closed. We can’t tell them like this. So we are human, and in human life, but we are completely confused, and we don’t know. And we say we know. We do what we want. Who will say no? So, where is God then? That’s it. Many, many things. So now it’s coming, the Kali Yuga. So in yoga, it is not only movements of the body, and not inhalation and exhalation, oxygen, or looking with the eyes left and right, and something is there to eat. But what is more than that, what we will have, this is not easy. And that’s why mantra, mantra is very important. It is said, when the guru gives you mantra and some sādhanā, then they said, "Gurudev, now what will you give us further?" And then he said, "Yes, I will give you the real path." "Oh God, Gurudev, so many years, and you said, 'Now I will give you right.'" No, no, the mantra is with you. But then, that word, that path I give you from my mouth, is for you to know what to do. That’s why. That’s very important. When you are from primary school to college, you learn a lot of things, but then the professor will say, "My dear student, now be happy, relaxed, and do good things." But you said other mantras, A, B. He said, "Yes, that time was this, and that mantra should be all the times." But now you have knowledge, and what will you do with that? And so our exercises, this whatever you have, is okay. But it is called the Satguru. Satguru Swami, "Āj to yatey sāyab yānand karo Śaraṇakamalapadāṅghriye. Āj to yatey sāyab yānand karo." Sarnākamalapadāṅganiye, God bless you. God bless you. Jai Mahādev! Jai Mahādev!... Jai Mahādev! Jai Mahādev!... Jai Mahādev! Jai Mahādev!... Jai Mahādev! Jai Mahādev!
