Each one of us has a different kind of work. All the time, in the brain and from both hemispheres, we are sending thoughts. And what kind of thoughts? Everyone has different thoughts—thoughts that may relax or keep busy at any time. We are doing many things. When you are writing letters, all the time different letters arise. Many different workers are among the best helpers; they are relaxed, they are working, they do very good work, and in the evening they are relaxed and happy. But many also experience differences. So throughout the whole day—or for some people who work at night—after the night work they come home and sleep. In this there are two things: jāgrata, we are all awake. We know we are awake, and that is what we are doing. In this waking state, we are not in our heart, we are not within our self; we are beyond, at a very far distance. Some of you have people elsewhere, and while you are sitting here your thoughts are in your country: Austria, New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, and so on. All those who are going far distances—we are working, let’s say for example here in Jadan, but how many times a day do your thoughts go to your village, to your parents, your families, your neighbors, your friends, etc.? So we are here, but we are not here; we are there. And we are there and also here, but we are not within ourselves. This is jāgrata. Also, for example, when we are driving a car, the driver sitting in the car is now aware, completely aware. He attends to every aspect of the car: looking to the front, looking behind, left side, right side, above the car, below the car, inside the car, steering also, and knowing what can happen. The driver is very alert. If a little thing, an accident, a little slip comes—that micro-slip—suddenly it becomes an accident. So we are on this side all the time. Similarly, the people who are working with yoga, practicing yoga, thinking about yoga—what will I do, when will I practice—this is also outside, outside. After this, when we go to sleep, now we have to understand: I am awake, you are awake, we are awake. But when you go to sleep, when we come to sleep, we suddenly go to sleep. That time is another consciousness, and we take care that we sleep relaxed. All different kinds of techniques are in our bodies. We are working, our body is working, we are sleeping, but all the elements, everything in the body, is working. Why? Because sometimes you are dreaming. Sometimes you say, “My God, I did work, but this was not good. I have to go there.” Everything is inside, so it means that one cannot sleep completely; one is sleeping but working inside also. After that comes svapna. Svapna meṃ kyā dekhatā hai, kahā̃ jā rahā hai—what are you seeing in dream, where are you going. Your wife and your husband are sleeping in one room, and she is dreaming about her parents, and he is dreaming about some friends. We are not with them, but still, in the inner consciousness, the dream goes so far. We are here, and this man is sitting here in America; in my āśram, he is living there. And now he is sleeping, but he is dreaming there. And how quickly we come back—that is very important. And that is, we are so alert, we are so alert, immediately, dream kahā̃ se kahā̃—from one place to another. Even if we are thinking of the moon or the sun, immediately it comes back to us, and this means that I am the alert. And in this way, there is the fourth point, and that fourth point is in the Yogī Janakī Yoga Nidrā. So we are normal people, and we have what we call being awake, sleeping, and dreaming. But how are the yogīs doing then? In that part, it is Yogī Janakī Yoga Nidrā. For all others, everyone is sleeping, but the yoginī, the yogī, and the horse—the horse standing, sleeping, one leg in front—he is standing a little with one leg. You know how the horse is sleeping and very alert, only with one left leg or the right leg holding on? That’s it. Alert in everything; dreaming is also everything, but very alert is that which is a yogī or a horse. Similarly, birds and many animals are doing like this, but humans cannot. They cannot, for it is said: Yogyā Sādhanā, Tamāre Āraḍī Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī once gave this sādhanā: how the yogīs are, so the yogī is not sleeping. And if they are sleeping, they are awake. And when we are awake here, we are sleeping. There is another side all the time, but be completely aware in everything. So we will say, seeing the Yoga Nidrā, beautiful, very hot, Mahāprabhujī has given this to us. In that, that is our all yogīs, Vajra Nāḍī, Vajra Nāḍī, and that is a very powerful, from the toes till the top of the head. And let this, our spirit, through our bodies, going through this sādhanā, Yogī Janakī Yoga Nidrā, bolo. Very good, thank you. Tomorrow, further. Hari Om.
