We have to take one step further

A vision for expanding authentic yoga teaching rooted in spiritual conduct.

The practice must reach every village and country, requiring many teachers. Authentic yoga is spiritual, distinct from secular institutions. A true yoga university prohibits substances like meat and alcohol. Learn quickly to obtain a proper certificate. Teachers will be given freedom, but not license; control remains to preserve integrity. The work is to connect all places under this umbrella. The aim is to teach properly, with care, as one in all and all in one.

"Yogīs have given the yoga teachers; that is the reality."

"Freedom does not mean that now you will go and do everything. No. One in all, and all in one."

We are practicing here, and they are trying to do it for their yoga teacher. I think next year, or after two years, we will have more freedom. We are not bounded; we are all free. But we need more. That is why not go and take yoga practice in every village? This is my thought that came today. Similarly, in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, and everywhere else. So everywhere we have to go there to become a yoga teacher. From our yoga teacher, we have our yoga teacher. Yes. So yogīs have given the yoga teachers; that is the reality. Good. And you think that you go to a university, and I don’t know who is in yoga there—yogī? They don’t know. I am going to India again, then I will tell them. Because they said, "We don’t talk about meat and alcohol and this." Don’t talk. Oh, my dear, what a university like this? They are like this: open, clear. What is a yogī? What is yoga? What are exercises? It is the spiritualities. It’s like a god’s. That’s very important. And therefore, everyone, we will give the freedom. So therefore, learn quickly, quickly, that you get your certificate and diploma from Yoga and Daily Life. In our college, we are getting from the University of Jodhpur, and in Jaipur, and then also a completely very spiritual university—no alcohol, no meat, nothing, this, that. So our Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Gyāneśwar Purī in Jaipur, and he studied very much in Sanskrit language, about 15 years, or maybe 20. It was really, and there was one lady, she is very much about Sanskrit language, and she was coming teaching Jñāneśvar Sanskrit, and sometime Jñāneśvarjī go to the... where then she went to the near Himalaya. So Jñāneśvarī sometimes goes there to visit her and was teaching him. And now he has that university, and he is a member of the university, and there are all yoga teachers and everything. So Gyaṇeśwar Purījī, he has our ashram in Jaipur, and that became the center. So many people are coming, and they are researching. He is researching now. From where and how? And where was how? Very great things there. And Jñāna Svarga is very peaceful. He’s not asking. Tell him what it is, and that. He’s very good there, very much. And similarly, also our Vivek Purī, our Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar, and he knows, he is learning, and this, everything. But I think there is Sanskrit, if they have it, in Croatia. The Sanskrit, if someone can teach there, it will come to Vivek Purī also, and others. So, we have to bring all, each and every village. And if we are not so many for their village, then five, five villages. Or twenty, twenty villages, every one day in one village. Second for next second, like this, ten villages. And this we will tell, so I’m always working, slightly maintaining this work and this work and this work, but I have in my mind what I will do now, and we have the techniques, we have our all everything, our everything. So that is very good. We give you little freedom. But freedom does not mean that now you will go and do everything. No. One in all, and all in one. This is our Mahāprabhujī’s words. Yes. We have in Vienna, and there are some yoga teachers, and in many cities or villages they are practicing. But we will also tell every country; we will also tell them about this. So we are all here, our many professors and our friends, our yoga teachers and our yogīs and all members and so on, we will come together in this month. And honey, many, you are all here, good. You have very good thoughts, and you know, please, you think now. One hour I will be sitting there. If someone comes to me and says, "How will we do it? How can we?" Yes, what do you think, Vivekji? He says it’s good. I don’t know. Like this, I have no sound here. It’s not good? Yes, so in every country where we are, in the countries we go to, we should do this. That’s why it is. What part are we singing? Nārāyaṇam Om Namaḥ Siri Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam Haṁsabhadas Prabhu Śaraṇ Parāyaṇam Haṁsabhadas Prabhu Śaraṇ Parāyaṇam, but we should be under the umbrella of yoga and daily life. That’s it. Because this is how many years we are here, nearly about 50, 51 years, and we made this all proper, all in Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia it was, yes. So it is like a beautiful tree out, so think of that already, and there you will teach yoga. Of course, you will get money. You have to use it, of course, so we will open you free. But control will be, and we will give only them to the teacher, and for that, will is. What do you think, please, everybody? It was not. I did not hear anything you said. Okay, okay, because many are already teachers. So that’s why they did not meet like this. And others who want, they will say yes. So both are good. They are all yoga teachers, and how many do we have in this country, in Czech? So we have to make one step further, yes? Thank you. Someone gave the letter. I’m not giving the name of the person. But it’s a very good question, and I will tell this answer. So, one by one, she will tell me, and I will say it loudly so that you can... yes, you should hold this. So, first question: "How, practically in daily life, should I purify myself and be positive, also when somebody is not nice to me or hurting me?" If you go to the forest and the tigers are there, will you go near? But you like the tigers. So someone can be like this, but you need not go close. But when you go with happiness, if someone—now, many times people are going and nobody said anything—otherwise, you see morning, everyone going to the work or somewhere, they said, "Yes, Dobrý den, Dobrý den," All they were saying, but now they want down. Now it remains only 35 people. When you go, how do you say it? Hey, Bok, Bok, can you tell somebody, please answer me? Hey, somebody on the... Yes, you can take off your mask. And you see, hello, don’t beat like this, beat here, not here. Yes, please. Yes, we said Bok, Bok. When we say "Bok"? Only "Bok," or good "Bok," or not? Only "Bok." Yes, God. It is God. All this is God. How beautiful. The name of God. Yes. And also in Austria, they also said something. What did they say? Gruz God. Gruz God.... Zdravím Boha. I greet God. Zdravím Boha. Yes or no? But some Germans, the other part, they only say, what do they say? Only good and talk. Good and talk... Okay, good. And talk. Dobře, tak. And now they don’t say good and talk. This is only talk. Talk. So I was going through the staircase. And I was going down, something they said, "Tak." I said, "What is ’tak’?" So I said, "You say ’tak,’ I say ’good.’" So I say, "Good tak, good tak, good tak." In many countries, different, they are given. Then I went to America, and many times they said, "If you say, ’Thank you.’" They don’t say anything. We said, "Really, really." We said, "Thank you." Really, nothing, no answer. And then there was also something: it was when we were going to the shopping, and we go and we say, "Good morning," no answer. And when we do something and we say, "Thank you," they say, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh." This is a story about who said what, the puppet. In case he said, "Hmm, hmm..." So many things are now coming down. So, when we go, we should not say, you can say it yourself, for you, of course, thank you. And a distance. Okay? So that is the answer now. Don’t worry. Don’t think. From your side, you can say, and you... Next point. "What should I do when others hurt me with their comments or actions? What should I do when others hurt me with their words, their comments, or their deeds?" Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you that you give me. Thank you that you gave me. Yes. Third point. "How to do seva, karma yoga, back home in daily life? For example, shall we help other people on the street, talk nicely with people? I don’t know what else can be done every day while having a job." When we are walking and there are thorns on the way, we can put them out. Likewise, if you can do something. Sometimes they say, "No, we say thank you." I just took the thorns away, so they think negatively, but we take the positive. So they are taking more on them, and you are taking all out and having good things inside, so that is... It, you know, when you are driving your car, you have to speak with your car also. Yes, something happened, so you must take your car and sit, stand, sit down. I will see. Take our everything is good. Give you a little oil, maybe, so what we do to our car and instruments is also very humble, kind, good. How to take care of our instruments? Then everything will be perfect. And just we are cutting this and throwing it down, and then it’s not that. Many people say, "My tools are my master." Yes. How nicely clean these and that, and put again our instrument. And if you throw it here and there, that’s not good. In an aeroplane, all instruments are very perfectly taken care of. So what you can do, do; what you cannot, but it’s okay. So it is okay. Next point. "How to trust in myself? How to trust my own opinions and intuition." Drink cold water. Yes, drink the cold water. Immediately, everything will be good. So, that is still inside. But you cannot. You should not make it like a fire outside. A little cold water. Yes, when your wife is very angry in the kitchen with your husband, the husband will take a glass of water and go. Husband drinks cold water, but the wife becomes cold. Cool. So, as you said again, I tell, it is said in the book, Jesus said, "If here taking your tip, then give your hand to the side." But nowadays, if someone said like this to us, "Oh my God, stop the car," what happens? So we are like this when it is said like Jesus, and if you believe in Jesus. And you know that this, are you not looking at how you sit, how you think, how you wash? We are completely lost. We also, what is Kṛṣṇa, what is Rāma? Okay, yeah, we also don’t know how Kṛṣṇa was, who was Rāma. We know something, well, therefore be humble. And the fifth, last question. "Is how to feel that I am worthy, that I have a value, and that I am a God, that there is God inside." Yes, you are more than gold, pure, clean, always. I did myself what I could, positively. And I take out all negativity. Then I will be at my home, or anywhere, I am happy. And it is like this even in the families. Sometimes there are problems. But this is not a real problem. Yes? So we have to take out. So that is how we should live life. Yes. Many people are also looking to me. Yes, why not? Sometimes, looking to me, the other side, I am sitting on the other side. Why not? And looking there, why should I look out there? Humbly, thank you. And somebody stays somewhere with your friend. We stand there and say, "Oh, yes, how are you?" Our car is here, or our airplane is here. We are only two. And others who were looking at us like this, we don’t go away. We talk to our friend, friendly with our friend. And talking some good words, in that way, in that light, that country, that street, so we talk very nicely that they say, "Oh yeah, it is like good." That’s it, but really peaceful and humble, kind. That it is in our heart. We should not give disruption to our heart. We are standing too, and others are looking at something. And we will talk, he says, how was it, no? Yesterday was very good here. So just say, "Yeah, that’s good." But some people are learning. Many long, long times, they are learning how to laugh in front of people. And there are some people who, when they are in front of many people, they are in front of many people. So the speaker, he himself makes a fellow, then others say, "Ha, ha, ha." Do you know someone like that? No. Then say something, yes or no. Then, um, me. Yeah? Okay. So, in that way, we should be humble, peaceful, and we can get distance. But not like looking and going away. No, no. Just walk or stand up, see something, and then go. So, tiger, the other animals, snakes—all they are all good, but we give the path. When we are good, we see the tigers and paws like this. And we go to see there by car, and we see them. Don’t come out of the car. Then we can walk and see. So, you see every bird? The one bird sitting on the tiger, or other animals? But no bird comes and sits on our head or on a hill. So many, many animals, they don’t come close to humans. Why? Because we have very negative ārāṣ. Yes, thank you. Today, Sarita from Croatia donated 50 euros in the name of her family for her grandmother, who passed away one year ago. We wish for your mother that she goes to peace, harmony, and light. Be prayer for your mother. Was it a mother? Grandmother, any questions, please? Come on, then. Close your eyes and mala, very peaceful, very peaceful. And there should be only sound of the instrument. Try to sit straight because you just came from dinner and the stomach has not already died. So if you sit forward like this, it’s not good for the stomach. So sit straight, close your eyes, and your mantras. The instruments only. Sit very peacefully, meditate, be thyself. I am in this, our ashram; we are all one in All and all in one. Many things one doesn’t understand, but understand yourself. Peace, peace... relax. Relax your body, sit straight, peace, peace in your heart, and now we all together peacefully, and the mantra of Aum. Go ahead. Shanti Hari Om.
