It means you have been here for a week or two, and now you are going home. We should not give up all of it suddenly. Try to know how you wake up early in the morning. Some people, even at home, wake up early. Others, who go to work at ten o'clock, sleep longer. Holy Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, and all great yogīs, sādhus, and many other good people have said there are two things. One thing we cannot do is eat after sunset. The other is to get up before sunrise. To see the early morning before the sun is one of the best spiritual thoughts. Thinking, happiness, joy—many things you or we can achieve before sunrise. When it is very dark, early morning, and we slowly see a little of the sun's light coming, that is very, very important, spiritual, powerful, helpful, and heartfelt. People who do yoga and other practices have also said that in the morning, before sunrise, we see water on the grass even during a very dry, hot time. Before sunrise, there is a little humidity. Many small animals go and drink this water from the grass, and for the whole day they have nothing more than this water. So this is Amṛta. Amṛta is that pure, clean water. Even a very little of life's depth has a powerful energy inside. Many people here in these European countries are still doing it. There is a lot of water here, but many times there is no sunshine and no rain. Walk for about ten or five minutes without shoes and socks on it, and then come back home. After one month, you will see how many diseases are gone. Really, it is many, many people, many yogīs, and many others. So, go to sleep early. But nowadays, we go at five o'clock? Not sleeping? Even in the morning? Mostly it's eleven, twelve at night. Yes, evening: six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, then midnight, and then they think they will sleep. It means all our laziness is there. That's why we cannot wake up; the sun has already risen. People say, "I close my windows and curtains, and there's no sun." But when the sun rises, it is everywhere inside. Even if we put a collar or cloth, prāṇa is there. But nowadays we have so much work, a different life. At least we should go to sleep two or three hours after sunset, and then it is said, "Make one mālā." So make the mālā and then sleep. If dreams come, good. Or no dreams, but peaceful, harmonious sleep. Like this, many, many people have said. For example, a little child is sleeping, and the mother is slowly, slowly giving him malice, and the child is sleeping. I feel myself, also my mother. Until five or six years old, I said, "Please, mother, push me in sleeping." So many of your mothers or fathers are okay. He said, "Okay, sit down. Let's go." Parents, of course, children are sometimes crying or this or that, but when they sleep, they are so nice, like flowers coming from grace. This is all. Other animals also wake up early before sunrise. Many trees and flowers sleep. When the sun goes down, flowers also go back. Before sunrise, the flowers come. Do you know one of the best flowers in the water? When the sun's little light from somewhere is coming, that time already this flower is coming off. What is that? The lotus. Each and every petal is opening, and before sunrise, sitting again, they are coming, sleeping. There is one beautiful story. It is a long story. I will not tell you so much. But sometimes something happens. This story is long. Should I tell you? It's too interesting. But anyhow, because that one sādhu, guru, or saint—one sādhu was going. At that time, there was no car, nothing. Always walking, whether you have shoes or not. Little villages, and they were very healthy. From here, there is one little village. It's just nothing. They would go there and bring milk from there to here. It's five kilometres, or ten, twenty kilometres. One man would go, bring the milk, and come home, that's all. One hour or two is nothing. And now, from here, there is what we call the Tilak centre, or the coffee sitter. From sitting, we sit there in the car, go quickly, bring from here, and till the back or end of this little village, that is coming, the laziness. Laziness means it's not good health. Life is going slow down. So many things were also going on, bringing vegetables from the gardens, from our farms. What can we say? We take a car or motorbike, so we lost it. So there were beautiful stories, but also somehow difficulties. So there is one village, and after the village, very far, there is a farmhouse, and there is a path where people walk. One farmer had a house there, and his wife and he were working around 11 o'clock in the morning. Then one sādhu was coming, and he saw there was a water well, and he had a farm with vegetables, fruits, and many things. That sādhu was coming there, the farmer came. The farmer said, "Oh my Gurujī, what a great law! My great, I have not seen a sādhu. I was searching for that Gurujī. Can you be my Guru?" He said, "Okay, I give you blessing." He said, "I want to drink water and go." The farmer said, "No, no, Gurujī, please, please, please don't go. I bring you good water from the well, then I'm making you some fruits, and my wife, she was already running to bring nice vegetables from the farm, and she will make nice vegetables and fruit." That yogī said, "OK then." So he was sitting there. Then he said, "Now I will go." He said, "Please, Gurujī, don't go tonight. Stay here." OK. He said, "Please come with me and see, look at my farm, how nice. Please don't go." So about ten days. Then he said, "Now I will go. Now Gurujī, what have you, nothing? No ashram somewhere, no this thing? Stay here, very good. Is it well? Sādhus are not staying so long, but I will come sometimes." He said, "But Gurujī, please, can you give me a blessing?" He said, "What?" "I have no children, so give me your blessing, please." He said, "Aha, aha, okay, I bless you, you get one beautiful son." And he went. So after 10 or 12 months, or one year, he got a very nice, beautiful boy. They were so happy. Well, this point, what I tell, it was the end, but before was different. Sorry. So he went, and he said, "I will come." So one day he came back, and he said, "Gurujī, we are good, and yes." He told that he got a child. "It's true. I'm so happy, Gurujī. You gave blessings, and I got my son." So I said, "Very good, take care, blessings." After he went, he came back again. So the boy became about 20 years old. Now the sādhu came and said to him, "How are you? And this and that, everything good?" "My son, and he is very good, and this." So he said, "Then let's go with me, Sādhu." He said, "Oh Gurujī, that is one of the best. I was only longing to go with you, Swamījī. But you know, my son is not still good. So, what to do? After, I will come." Then he said, "Gurujī, I cannot go with you, because I want to go with you. But if I will have my child, grandchild, then I am free from everything." Well, that will come also. The story goes on for a very long time. So one day, there was something funny: he had no bulls, because there were no animals, the cows were working. So the story goes that first he died, and he fell, and he became a cow. And from the cow, he got a little calf, and the calf—that further story is going very good. One day he came, and that farmer died. And his mother also died. But the farmer, and he was married, his wife and Gurujī came. Gurujī said, "Oh Gurujī, I am so happy, so happy, pleased with me." And many things he told about stories. Then one day, that man who died, he was always, always there in his soul somewhere. So that was a very nice cow, and it also died, and then we go there and this. And one day, the man became a cobra. And always, he's controlling everybody in the house, in the family, so that nobody will come to my son and this. Always, when he came, they said, "I will come, I will come." Also, he became a dog. And he was going, his husband and his wife, they were going to some cafeteria, and somebody was coming. So the dog was there, and the dog was taking care. So every time when people came, he was barking. So one day the thieves came, and whenever thieves come... This dog is making, and the thief said, "We are not going in his house. This dog, all the time he is barking, and other people wake up, and we cannot get something." So one day they kill him. When he came, the farmer said, "Oh, my dog died." But still, that man, who was human, he came, cow, then he became this, and then he became dog, and after that he's been... Now he begs this cobra. And then, at that time, he got a son. So, farmer meant he is in the farm, working there. And his wife was at home, and Swamījī was there. So when Swamījī came, then this farmer, the woman, she went to bring clean water from the water well, which is about 40 or 20 meters distance. It was winter, not so cool like here. So she put her child in the sun, sunrise. And the child was sleeping there in the cradle. And the sun was rising, and the light was on the face of the little child. So when the sun was so strong, the sun was rising, she was going for water. And there was a big cobra. He was his grandfather. So he came, cobra, and he sat near the cradle on the other side of the sun, and he's putting always shade from this through his, "Oh, my son, oh, my son," who Cobra said. And then this mother came and she said, "Oh, my son, Cobra, my son." She threw the water down. And she said, "Cobra, cobra," and her husband came. "My child." Well, she took the child, and the farmer came with a stick. "I will kill this cobra." Gurujī said, "Gurujī, wait. Don't kill him. I will give you that he is to go free." The farmer said, "No, Gurujī, your blessing like this is not enough. I have a long stick," and he cut the cobra. Still, the cobra was like this. Gurujī said, "Please wait. I told him that he will go to, perhaps, Mokṣa." So he said to the cobra, "Now you see how much you are suffering in your farm, how many lives, and you see your son, how he is killing you. So I give you mantra, you go to liberation." Then the cobra says to Gurujī Bābājī, "Gurujī, how many years you are behind me always? I came only once to drink water. Then I gave you eating. Then sleeping, things, then I'm helping my children, my calf, my dog; they are all mine. And this cobra is my child," he said, "I will give him mokṣa." So the cobra said, "Mahārājī, Bābājī, why are you running behind me all the time? It doesn't matter if my son will kill me or not." Then Mahārājī said, Gurujī said, "I will go, but I will give you liberation. Because once I give my voice, Gurujī said, 'I will give you mokṣa.'" So the cobra died, and it came as something very nice, like a bee. The bee was going, yes, and she was going, sitting on the lotus bloom. And it was so nice, some kind of sweet in the... So that this boundary was sitting inside. And after evening, the flower closed. So now the flower could not come out. Then Bhagavān Guru, he was always bringing flowers for the God, Bhagavān Śiva. For the pūjā, and then he went there. When he came to the temple for pūjā, and this flower came there, when it opened, this brimley came on the holy feet of the God Viṣṇu, and he became liberated. Then Gurujī said, "My son, my daughter, son, I told you I will liberate you. I brought you to the lotus feet of Bhagavān Viṣṇu." So, it is said that when the real guru is there, or someone—your saints or anyone—not this life, next life, next... life, but it will bring him to liberation. So there are very beautiful stories in Holī Gurujī's book. It's so beautiful. Many people see the ṛṣis, they are giving this story. So, when you go in the morning and you open the flowers and everything, energy is very high in everything, and this water, early morning water before sunrise, then about 10 minutes or maybe 20 minutes or something, the water will then dry. So, we shall walk on this water, and if you can, with both palms, then it is said, many say, you know, in this all, what is called the... Naturopathy and many things. It's very, very much good energy going through the palms and foot soles. I told you many times the story that we wake up and first we say, "I am a human." Then we ask, "Mother, Earth Mother, can I step on you?" Then we go to the water, we touch the water, and when we feel the water, energy goes into the whole body very quickly. Yes, so everything like this, and so it is very good. And many people, you know, there's a fifth floor, tenth floor. They have a little house, an apartment, and many people have about one meter by one meter or half a meter, and they put stones, stones, yeah, for walking. And you can make little water drops, and without foot and shoes, no shoes, no socks, and five minutes, not so strong, otherwise you cannot. Yeah, the Vasanthi, he brings very nice stones, Vasanthi. They are not so needles, very nice. So, walk there for five minutes. Yes, you will see how much energy will be coming into the body. So, that's very important. If you have a balcony and you have some nice flowers there, go there also. See some paper flowers, not flowers, but the ponds. Nature is the nature, and it's coming: water from above again. So I told you yesterday, did you catch the water? Nobody. You did? Yes. How much water did you catch? No water was there, not much. Where did you put it? In the meadow. In the meadow. Then, there was no water, no rain. Yeah, this is this. It was a lot of the... A lot of the... Yeah. No, no, it was morning. It was still raining. Okay. But I will give you: go to the garden and see the green grass, and that is a good water. So you can touch the hand and say, "Thank you." So that is all what you have been doing, your exercises in this whole week, and I wish you all the best, that you come home comfortably. And those who are still here next week, two weeks, you are most welcome. And there is Devapurījī's samādhi, Devapurījī's anniversary. So we will give him our blessings to get blessings from him. And next week is coming, so till the schools are not there, you can come, and we will talk to Vasumitā Viṣṇu, Vasanta. So bring, let the people come, please. Because people said, "We can't come, we can't come also in your countries," so that is what is. When one person will be spiritual, and this, they will all the time, it will bring us to the supreme God. You know, many, even many animals also, if someone does something wrong to them, they will come and attack you. All animals, dogs also, rabbits also, everything. And buffalo, yes, also, they are very much. And elephant, elephant will never forgive you, never. If he died already, then it's okay. I have a story about that, very good, five minutes. So I was in... where was it? No, no... In Africa, so I was in Africa two or three times, and we went there. It's called somewhere people go because of safari, and it is a very big land, very big, from here to our, where from you come? Prague, it's from Prague all through Austria, a very long, long land, and then they have elephants and tigers and many animals, and there is a lot of olive forest, and they have some different. Of the waters drinking, and tourists are coming, they have the electric pyres. This is my God. No one can come near. Animals, they know now, nobody comes near. And then we are going with the car, and we see. So we were there for about five days. And there is very much water there. People are coming for drinking water, a lake, very nice lake. So they are coming, drinking, all tigers and this and that, all. So afternoon, afternoon it was, we were going, sitting there, and drink coffee or chai or something, sitting up. A little, and we see the animals coming and going. And my room, my room is very nice, and I can see the animals going. Don't look to them; you can just go. And then me and Mansa Devī, we were there somewhere. So there was a big elephant. And I said to Mansa Devī, please wait, I will bring an apple. From my room, I brought an apple, tiger. And I cannot come close, and he also cannot come so there. But I said, "I give him an apple." So I threw the apple to him. He moved toward me. He did not say that, but he put his foot here. My God. I went away. And then after TV came again, again still he's standing, looking at me. And then in my room, so I said, "Please, I will not go." All the elephants are gone, but he was there. "Why did you throw it to me?" Yes, no, no, Apple, nothing. Even how you have to offend with something like this. Well, I went to their masters, and this, and they said, "Yes, one should never do anything to the animals, anything." But I said, "Please, I will not sleep in this house; it's very close." And then, in the evening, we had eating, so it was very cold then. The night is very cold, and the day is very hot, and from then I said, "I will not come again with this car inside, because he will run with him here. The elephant will never forgive, never. The camel is okay, but the elephant." And if you are there, are... Some, which is then okay, they give you eating or this, and they are okay. But if you do something and ice, then he will say, "And how strong you are, your bodybuilders?" Yeah, they will do only with like this elephant. So life is like this: where, how, to, to. So let them be as they are. Thank you.
