Yes, it was a very nice day today. Early this morning, I practiced only a few exercises. Then I wanted to go see the hall—a very big hall. I came to see how it is. But from my room until here, how many things there were! Can I tell you? It is like this. I went there, but many people had already come. Some had children, and some had medicine, so they were eating there. Others wanted to go for chai or coffee, but they all turned behind me. So I said, "Now you go and eat." They said, "No, we have today." Beautiful ashram, beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere. Beautiful vegetation. It is an unbelievable feeling in our heart, in our mind, in our thoughts. The feeling we have here in our hearts, in our thoughts, in our feelings, is unbelievable. If someone comes here, even only two or three... You should come for one week or one weekend. Yes, meditate yourself. Look, this is how I would say it: there is a very beautiful name for this. Sometimes they say how Kṛṣṇa was in the forest. So when you come here, then in the Kṛṣṇa and Rukmaṇī with Kṛṣṇas, you are here. And if you have any problems, maybe some have problems or something, and how to do this or that, come here. Hold this tree. This gives you more than if somebody were asking. This is a holy, divine place. Let any time come; it is our ashram. Of course, there are people, and they will take care of it—how to do it, what to do. When you come here, whether you are two, or one, or ten, come. And from your heart, from your thoughts, you can give anything, but we call it the donation. This is Mahāprabhujī’s āśram. You see our dear brothers Vasant and Gaṅgā. They work so hard, you cannot imagine. And you see how beautiful it is now. And when we come to the winter, oh, snow. And we are walking. We are cleaning our shoes, then. Beautiful. Of course, there are many other places, but this is more spiritual. Beautiful. So we were going slowly, slowly around. The trees, bushes, grass, some fruits, a good path to walk, a lake—there are two lakes—and a beautiful temple where we have the anuṣṭhānas and what we call the yajña, a beautiful yajña that Vasant has made. Such a beautiful, my God. Some Indians came and they said, "Wow, beautiful, it is beautiful." But I will tell Mr. Vasant, throughout from the earth to the heaven. All this that he made beautiful, and this wood. Because there are many people who do not like them. They want to have their house. It means the big bugs. We will tell the bugs, "You can eat many things, grass." But I will ask our Vasant and this other, really, we have to protect very nicely. Now, beginning. In Slovakia, there is one city where we have a yoga center. Three centers. This village, what is the name of that? Not me. Levoča. Levoča, yeah. So, the city’s name is? Levoča, Levoča. And many, many people go there to see the church. Very old, very old, and all is from the wood. I was there two or three times also, going to church there. So wood cannot be more than the stone. So we have to take care of our mothers, these trees. And so, our programs here involve taking and doing yoga śālā. We have to protect not only the Vasant, but we should, if you make one drop each, one glass of water will be. So similarly, this is very, very holy. Likewise, everywhere is good, very good. It is not that I must give you money, but I will give it. And you touch the tree, or a stone, or grass. Garden, everything is yours. Because we are very happy, very good. Time goes too quickly. It is going very quickly. Yesterday I was thinking in the night, Maheshwarananda, really, you are old now. Why so quickly? But how many years have gone? What have I got from this world? From that, my birth till today, what I have done is not about money, not about a dress. Not a car, not an airplane, many buildings, but all is here and will remain here. Yes, even our key will remain there. So, what are we for? But of course, we have in our country our buildings, our temples, or the church. But humble and good, not that mine is best and they are not good. Not like this. In our ashram, there are many different religions and many countries. When you come into this ashram, you are the child of the mother and father. And who is here should give eating, water; if it is very cold, give dry cover. Friend, so I felt all these two months, and on our Guru Pūrṇimā, we have many sannyāsīs here, and we all, how nice it is. So, I am a sannyāsī, they are sannyāsīs, maybe I am a sannyāsī. We should not say that I am the first or I am strong. You know, it is said there is a big snake, a cobra or something. Very poisonous, and they try to kill him. But still, for one hour or two hours, he is moving left, right, and this. And then he falls like this. In the night I had said, "Am I still that cobra?" I’m still moving left and right. When and how will I be relaxed? Then the snake is like that. Life is gone. But still, He is there. And many, many animals are coming, ants are coming, they are all coming in joy. But this Jain said, "Yes, it is you, for you." So if you are a scorpion, have a little pain, but lie down. And the scorpion, when touched once, at least 24 hours, it is like burning something inside a fire. The scorpion is more powerful, giving us the Daichingas than the cobra. Of course, the snakes will kill us very quickly, but peacefully. So, my dears, we have to think ourselves within ourselves. This is neither my ashram nor your ashram. Anyone who comes to their ashram is welcome. But of course, there are other things to do and not to do. We have to control everything: doors, this, that, everything. We come here, you can bring others also. Whatever is there to eat, you can have. Chai, water, milk, yogurt, vegetables. If someone said, "I want to have the sweet," okay, it is said in Gurudev’s Ked Darbar. You know what is Darbar? The kingdom. So in your Kingdom of Gurudev, there is nothing for nothing. Everything is there. Yes, I told you five days before, I think. That only God, that Gurudev, is feeding from the big animal, the elephant. From the elephant to the little ant. Only God is giving. Do not say that you can do this and that. There is one bhajan given, I think, in our āśram somewhere in Gurujī’s. And therefore, it is said, Mahāprabhujī said, "Anyone comes, give water." And there was no water there, you know, dry, Rajasthan. And Devpurījī, you know, in the book written, very hot sand. And some people were going to their farm to do some work. And there is no water, and Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, was coming. And there are two or three people sitting there. It is a very hot time. And the sand is very hot. So Devpurījī came and said, "Give me the water for drinking, please." People said, "Guru Dev. I run and go to villages, and I bring you water. You have no water here? Gurū Dev, he is only sand and dry. Sit down," Devpurījī said. And Devpurījī put the sand away, like that was all. And there’s water, duck, duck... So in our Gurudeva’s āśram, all āśrams wherever they are in the whole world, I always tell them, let people come, let people come. Give, not only take. Denevala bohe, it means, "Who is giving is the different." Śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam. Mahāprabhujī always said, "Mādhavānandajī, guru kṛpā, gurudev kī kṛpā hotī." So if God, you are here, and today is Gurudev kā din, and that guruvar, Gurudev’s, and tomorrow some of you will go. And it is said, when Mahāprabhujī said, Holī Gurujī was telling me, I don’t know their voice. And Mahāprabhujī had only one dress like this and a little bed and nothing else. Like this, he did not have. Yes, really. And Holi Guruji brought from Bombay or different places, very nice. There is one very expensive. Where is this? And Holī Gurujī brought this from Bombay, somewhere again. And he gave it to Holy Gurujī, to Mahāprabhujī. And Mahāprabhujī gave on the holy feet of the Mahāprabhujī and said, "Mādhavānanda, what is that?" He said, "This is for you." Okay. Very good. And that was one old man, who looked poor, but he was sitting, and there were not so many trees. In Kathu Ashram there were no trees or bushes, and it was winter. So when an elderly man, I think it was, if not wrong, sitting nearby, and from about twenty meters distance, Mahāprabhujī stood up and he took this beautiful, this, and gave it to that man. He said, "Thank you, Gurujī, libās vapāvahoya." Holy Guruji was a little bit... I brought him so far, and I gave the Guruji, and even Mahāprabhujī did not put on his shoulder. But Mahāprabhujī, Vůbec nic. I know you were thinking, "You gave it to him? It’s very expensive." Yes, my Mādhavānand, I give everything expensive. And who is not very expensive, that is on my foot, like this. You see how Mahāprabhujī is? So I’ve been everywhere in the ashram, the sādhu. When you are a sādhu, then you have given everything. It is your ashram, your house. You can stand up and go. That is a sādhu. Otherwise, not. So, you are all very, very good, and we had a very good Guru Pūrṇimā. This was very nice. All sannyāsīs were here. Many, many people said from other countries, really from London, Australia, Fiji. In Fiji, they are talking Śrī Svāmījī. There were so many nice sādhus. And people, and you, Mahāprabhujīs and Alakhpurījīs. What have you done like this? I said, "Yes, I have done only one thing." I came and sat there, but we said, "You did, Swamiji, Vasant was." And all his friends. What is a Vasant? Vasant is that just beginning, blooms. Yes. Like this, everyone is like this here. In my eyes, no one is negative. All of you, you have to be like that. Maybe you like it or you don’t like it, but I have only one like. And that like is that all like. So, learning, giving you exercises, many things. Āsanas, prānāyāmas, meditations, concentrations, kriyā, everything is okay. But above that, it is like this, I am telling you now. That will be your life. Inside. Inside, who was it? Holī Gurujī said, "Someone that," or Hanumanjī said, "took it, Śiva, or the Rām, Bhagavān Rām Lakṣmaṇ, put it from the heart outside." So we have then something inside, like a nose and a mouth. Take it out. People said to me three or four times in India to say to my Srananji, you know that you have so many things and people, and you are very... so I think we should give you one here. Of course, they cannot take anybody. You have to go to the government, and everything is done from the government, from the police, all numbers and this and that, and when they have some work, the government is changing. And everyone’s, this, what do you call, gun, has to be given to the police office there. But that one of them said, "But Swamiji, you should have." I said, sooner or later I will die, so why should I yield to that? And when I come to India, from India to here, Europe, no aeroplane will take me this, take it out. And I cannot give it to anyone; I cannot give it to my brother. I cannot give to my, if I am a man, my brother, or my wife, or my husband. The gun is only for you. They said, but you can put it under your... I said, that is good, I will sleep deep. So really, that was the police, and he said, "Swāmījī, you are great." So, in that way, definitely we will die sooner or later. Life is given to God, and not one second more will we be living; it is finished. So, this is our āśram. These are our ashrams, not my ashram, but we are all, everyone, let everyone come. Where, who said, "There is someone that one bread, and they all have to give"? I think it was in some Jesus something or something. I don’t know where, who was. They were all sitting and gave everybody one food. And he was washing the feet of his disciples. We have to be like that at home also, for your families also. Your husband, your wife, your grandparents, the children, neighbors, friends, that is life. Wind is free now, but how is everything in it? How many birds, how many things? So now, we will do something. Brahmārī. Today I give you on the 15th. Your tooth should not be... Leave it open a little. Lips are closed. And see that yourself, how your brain will be on both sides or not. If you are completely together, then it means you are on the supreme. It looks like that. It will be maybe on this side, maybe on that side. It comes here. He says, "No, no, no." I say, not you. I also cannot balance exactly. But sometimes I’m also like this. But many, many years, many, many times, this sādhanā has been done with the Gurujīs and others. So, we all will have about these things. Yes? Very good. Yes, Sureshjī, sorry. Yes, Āśram. Look, I am preaching to you. Everyone is sitting. So, while preaching to them, I have closed it for you. I will call you again in five minutes. Go after half an hour. I will call you, okay? Someone is a very important person to do something and say, "Swāmījī, please, please," I said, "I will give you." This was an important phone call because we need something. Fifty times, you know everything. Close that, I cannot hear. I can talk to anyone. Na’ham kartā buddhi kartā Mahāprabhujī kartā he kevalam. Hari Om. Jai. Hari Om. Thank you. Thank you.
