We have this one chart here, which is very good. We have had it for many years. For a long time, I did not touch it, and I was not with you in your hall. I gave this responsibility to my very good students, my disciples. This is one of the best parts for those who wish to come, let us say, to Brahmaloka. This sādhanā we have here from our big hall, Saṅgam Hall. Thousands of people have been practicing here. Many people have learned and are doing very much. Some people said, "I can't do this much," and they gave up. It is not good to give up. If you have no one day to practice, then you should also not eat for one day. But for eating, we are ready. For half an hour or two hours of practice, it is difficult. This sādhanā practice is, of course, meant for the sannyāsīs. But our sannyāsīs, they are zero. Now they think, "Okay, I am a sannyāsī." There is sādhanā, Guru Kṛpā, Guru Śiva. Guru Śiva is that. All sādhanās come after. All sādhanās we are doing are only the path. But Guru Seva means the final step on the path. That is very important to understand. But Gurujī said, "Why only sannyāsīs?" Many sannyāsīs, I have to say, become lazy. They go and eat, and sit, and sleep. They always say, "I am a sannyāsī, I am great." The cloth is not; if the cloth is dead, then it is your skin. If you do not truly become a sannyāsī, then you go away, and you would have to take your skin off. So, the sannyāsīs have to serve the Guru, your Gurujī, and other Gurus. We can give; one sannyāsī can give the savor to others. Do not think, "I am a sannyāsī and I don't want to sit, and I will not go anywhere." It means that you are lost. Another thing: Mahāprabhujī said, Holī Gurujī told that the cloth of color is not what makes a sannyāsī. It can also be the white dress. Mahāprabhujī always wore the white dress, very fine, a little trouser, and he had a little, what we call, a temple shawl, also fine, not a very strong color. Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī said: The color you have is your skin; clean it very nicely from outside and inside. So sannyāsīs are a little different, but all humans can have sādhanā like a Guru and sādhanā. Then there is the gṛhastha. Gṛhastha means family. You marry, have children, parents, etc. My Holy Gurujī told me that all sādhus live from other people, from farmers or anyone. They have more houses, and they have managed everything, and they are giving to all sādhus and everybody. So the greatest humans are those whose family is living, and they are giving everything to others. For example, we can say our farmers. If our farmers do not work and produce our food, then even the professors or actors, or anyone, would have nothing to eat. Farmers give us life. And now those people who are learning something say, "Oh, they are just farmers." They give us food, like a mother gives milk to a child. So farmers and the farm are our life. We are feeding humans and animals, many things. They know how to farm and how to grow different kinds of vegetables, fruits, salads, etc. So this person who is on the farm, working all day, while doing so, they are saying a mantra. Working with the hands, having mantra through the mouth, and working through the legs—that is a very great sādhu. But now people go and work a lot, but they don't know how to cook. Similarly, many sādhus now first say, "I am a sādhu," only going here and there, people will keep eating and hurry home. That is called lazy, and it will not lead to Brahmaloka. So live in such a way. Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī said, "If you are a sannyāsī, then work hard, walk with your feet, give something." Somebody, at least give them bhajans, give some knowledge. In this way, all the sādhanās we are doing, all who are sitting here—these people in orange dress, and yellow dress, and some in black, some in red, and some colorless—they are doing such beautiful sādhanā. They are all sannyāsīs. Once or twice a year we have seminars, and people come from long distances. They have some family there, but they ask, "Can I have two weeks there?" Sādhanā for one month, and at the same time, they do the karma here, karma yoga, and also do karma yoga at home. The wife does a lot of work for her husband, and the husband also does many things for his wife. They take money for the children to go from kindergarten to university, and they are also learning and working. They are working because they do not have money until the university gives it. Who will give you? Everyone. And those who have only their parents' money and do not work—this person will not be comfortable, and that will not be what human life should be. Last week, I was told many times: we have Mother Earth and heaven, and the difference between them and everything. So, from the cosmic father and Earth's mother, this is all; they are in oneness. So many times now we have different things. We have much money and these companies, and what are they doing otherwise? Mostly, in many countries, we used to take earth and make our tooth... toothpaste was not there. Toothpaste is now, perhaps, only after 150 years. They were taking a little stick from one tree and biting it, making a brush, and then putting it in the mouth. Yes, ask many. And they had very good teeth. They died with all their teeth there. And now with brass and this and that, we are making our teeth weak. In that lifetime, people were holy people: strong, healthy, farming, working, helping. That was a life, and no one was less than a hundred years. Many were one hundred to two hundred years. Yes, that's right. And now, after five years... they are going to the dentist before they are going to the dentist. We eat so many things which should not be eatable. We should not eat them, and that's why the teeth are going. Many diseases come, and now we have destroyed everywhere with chemicals. Otherwise, anywhere we were going, we could drink water from the river, from the big water, what's called the lakes, a big water pond, or a lake. We could drink water, but now we have to purify it because of the chemicals inside. So, our ashram, this now is... how many? We are 25 years or something. There are no more chemicals. So, our Mother Earth, we love our Mother. We come here and mostly we all sit on the floor, some even without shoes. So, at least five minutes, and if you can get more, about half an hour, touch our earth with the hand, our foot, no shoes, no gloves. Now you... have still time, please touch the earth, take the earth, yes, or go to our vegetable park, but please don't all go, otherwise the doctor or she, Jayadevī, will say, "Please don't come in, touch our trees." Really, we can harm this. Is that nature? Mothers, and when from the earth, what we see, the trees, and they are our fathers, like father, mother, all are in that. So, morning, when you come out, go to the bathroom and like this, and then touch the earth. Yes. We are giving everything to Mother Earth. Like when a mother has a child, and we are making everything in the mother's lap: urine, toilets, everything. And mother is happy that, "My child, yes." Mostly cleaning little children's mother. Sometimes the father does. When the wife comes from work, or is going to work, or getting the vegetables and something, or went shopping, and the child made a mess, mother brings the food and this and that. And husband said, "Darling, the baby you have given into the lap." I think first you should clean it, her. Mother doesn't say, "You go ahead, do it." This is how we are living. So our practicing is not only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas and meditations, but we should live life, live, and don't take from Mother too much. And that's for those who are too much; they are walking, they cannot sit. Then mother said, "You are too heavy on me." Yes. Our Earth Mother, she is taking this weight very much. But, my child, don't make more height. There are many things, what a mother... and what a father! So in this way, in sādhanā, what we are doing is not āsana and prāṇāyāma only. All these energies, powers, and centers and chakras are within our self. And what we are having is only the whole weekend or two weekends; this is you. I put it out from 100, but I brought you only 50. Otherwise, all who came here for a week, and the reality is that what you want to have, this one, like this, and from that I took it nearly 60%. And from that again, we made it less. I did ten years. I'll talk always and always, but they couldn't go through. Yes, it's true. Because we have no energies and not that mind inside. We cannot. This is, I went through three years or more. Or the Gurujī with me, it was different, the other different kind, but it was very hard and good and happy. Once there were a few people, and I said they should sleep on a mat on the floor. Sleep there, meditate there, exercise there, and eat very little, soft food morning and evening. Yes, that was a whole 24 hours. It was some kind of practice. In this hall, they can sleep, but we couldn't come through. Maximum three days. Then many people, they could not. There are some sādhus. Not many, but maybe three or four, and that is, they ask, "Who wants to come to the seminar?" Then they are taking so much, like you are going to get to go to other countries when you want to have the pass. How difficult they make it for us to go from this country to that country. They are asking for everything. Very cheap. And then you have to come. Once you should come, or someone there is giving, speaking also instructions on what is to be done. And when they eat, they eat there at the same point, the same place. Don't sit there for other people. And sleeping, no sleeping, where all is your sādhanā. And you can't imagine, there are hundreds of people, thousands of people, and very rich people. It takes about one month, but not less than one month. And the payment is very much, let's say per day, about 1,000 euros per day. And these people, they are sitting for how many hours? The many people, they are doctors, or officers, or many from some companies, and like this. So there are about, I think, a hundred centers. But after that, once you are in, you cannot go out. And when now it will not give more insight, completely locked. And if somebody goes to their ashram, they are asking, "When you come to other countries, how do you go to your room in your ashram? We cannot go in there. We should have asked, then we have everything, like passport and this and that, otherwise." Otherwise, they are standing on the outside, and they will go. Nobody will take them. Because they have learned that people were not good. Only one day or two days or five days, and then crying and going out, and like this. One of my disciples is Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, he is from Australia, and his wife, mother, and they came to, his mother came to India, so they went to go to see that one center, and they went there, the door was locked, no knocking, and outside, there were guards. They said, "Do you have a passport? Did you register?" They said, "No, but we came from a far distance." "Sorry, we don't let them go in." Really, it's not a joke. I don't want to give you the place, otherwise you will go there now. So, similarly, our practice—I took the essence of the essence and gave our sādhanā, and you are doing it, you are very good. And it is like this: when we eat something and the taste is good. But always like this. Then I have to go inside to spice. And what is that? Satsaṅg. At least two satsaṅgs we have, and that satsaṅg gives so much power, so you can go to the Anuṣṭhān. So it is, if you will. Otherwise, you are just only sitting somewhere, and this is not like that. But it depends on you, how much you give. If you just sit there and that's it, then of course it doesn't work. And when it's like this, it doesn't matter if it's a sannyāsī or not. And the sannyāsī can stay behind. And the householders, they will go very far. So I gave you really very, very much thinking. Take out a little more, click out more, and there. And I see in the hall, sometimes I go and look through the windows. And how you are peacefully and doing sādhanā in this sādhanā, which we have, it's like we are in heaven, really it is so. That is, that doesn't matter if it's sannyāsīs or no sannyāsīs, or the farmers or professors, or tropecers or cropecers, we have to come there. And so we have so many steps of this, and our karma yogīs, they are doing it really with the heart, with their heart, and they enjoy it more. And they are thinking of bhajans and this, everything, while working karma. And never make that: "I don't like this," "It was not good," "I don't need," "I will do not." Never think like this. Sometimes you say no, sometimes you are very good. It's not good. We should be very pure, like a lake with no waves inside. There is a big pond, a very nice pond, and there is no wind or anything, and the pond is so clean, pure, and you have, you have been, definitely you have seen such a thing, and you made that, perhaps, what? We take one little stone. This is a big stone; it can be that also. So, we put one stone. Now, what is happening? You can tell me. What do you see there when the stone is gone? Ask me, please. Answer: when you send a little stone in the pond, the circles—they say the circles. The round, the round, the circles. Who said? How many? Hand up, hand up, okay. And who did not, or he can't know? Yes, truth is truth. One, two, three, yes, they are the best ones, so that they will know that. So, it is in bhajan, in some bhajans it is also written, so the water is very calm, a nice pond. And there is grass and some trees on the side. And we come and we sit there, and now we send one stick or the stone. And what is there? Very nicely round, very nice, one after the other. The waves, the waves,... the waves,... the waves, and that wave is meditation from the navel piece. Or the waves. Waves are not easy. Those waves can kill us, but some people, they are in the ocean, they are going with the waves, then it's okay. So if you have the waves, you know what the waves are. When you are angry and you cannot, and this, these are the waves. And then we meditate on the nābhi, and all these waves come to calm. Then you will see, yes, now my techniques, my meditation is coming. So, our old bhaktas, we have three centers here. How many halls do we have here? One, two, three, four, five, six, yes? So we can all have the hall, very nice. So you know everything. Just sit and practice. So one week, two weeks. So the vibrations, the waves. Now you saw on the pond, and now you look to your navel. And exactly, we are going like this. Then it comes from our peace, a very nice peace. Then there are different kinds of techniques, and what we want to learn is different then, and that is good. So, some gurus, some scientists are like this. And farmers, workers, all our workers, you are even a professor, you are okay, you are a worker. We have the worker within our stomach. We have to go to the bathroom. Everything we are doing, equally, that's it. So the waves are inside, and now we have how many chakras? Many chakras. But if that chakra is Mūlādhāra, then Aniṣṭhā, then Maṇipūra, then Anāhat, then Viśuddhi, and then Ājñā, and Bindu, then Sahasrāra, and then where we do dance. Yes. So each and every center has a certain kind of wheel. Good or bad, suddenly can be wrong. Many years, many months, one day, or one hour, you made beautiful. But suddenly that one comes out here. And that means that it will bubble up. Yes, so every chakra we have to learn, understand, and concentrate on. Then it's coming like a beautiful flower from the water. Lotus. And before the sun is shining, going down, they're also closing, and one hour before sunrise, already, the power of the rising sun is also in this room. And you are on it, and when we go, everything goes in. So this old chakra, which we have in our book, "Hidden Powers in Humans," and also in yoga. So our sādhanā, our practicing, and you should do it at home too, not only here. But this one, only one week, two weeks, three weeks, a month, not every time, once or twice a month, a year. And if you are, you want to do more, then once a week. Do your whole practice, these techniques, what we are doing now here, or two days between, you should not stop, then go through. So, in this way, it is sādhanā. It doesn't matter if you are a sannyāsī or not a sannyāsī. Thieves or no thieves, it doesn't matter how it is. When it will go in the waves of the other exercises. That is the guru, Guru Kṛpā. And the guru is not for only one, yes. Otherwise, it is destroyed. I am sitting here, but I am looking past at the wall there. Sometimes I am doing like this, and looking at this, and sitting somewhere here. So that's why I am one. One in all. And all in one. That's it. Become one and become all. That is only one ātmā, soul. So this practice was very good. And one dīkṣā, who wants to have, you can come now or at five o'clock, and tomorrow, for others who want to have the cakra, it is clear, okay? My dears, so nice. I was full of joy because I remember how I practiced. Yes. It's written in the Holī Gurujī's book. Yes. Only a little milk and water, nothing more. So, very nice to see you.
