Yoga means uniting

Yoga in daily life is unity with the divine principle present in all existence.

Life originates from and is sustained by water, which constitutes our bodies and the world. All creatures, including those unseen beneath the earth or in the air, are interconnected through life. The natural world operates on consumption, where creatures eat one another. A human is defined by moving beyond this, by not killing, by showing love and care to all. God is not a separate entity to be seen externally; God is within every creature and within your own heart. We are all fundamentally one, a unity temporarily experiencing separation, like a single drop of water merging back into the ocean. Our individual lives and bodies will eventually dissolve and return to the one source. Therefore, the practice of yoga is this conscious unification. It requires purifying the heart, relinquishing anger and jealousy, and acting with devotion. It involves caring for the body through exercise and pure food, but more importantly, it is an inner alignment. True yoga is living in harmony, causing no harm, and recognizing the divine in all.

"One in all and all in one. One in all and one in all."

"If you want to know God, He is in every creature, in every creature."

Śambhādas Prabhu Śaraṇāparāyaṇam. Śambhādas Prabhu Śaraṇāparāyaṇam. Good evening, good day, good night to everyone in different countries. Some are waking up, some are going to sleep, and some are here. It means that around the whole world, the sound of Bhagavān Siddhip Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is present. The first practice is yoga in daily life. What does yoga in daily life mean? Yoga is the yoga. It is very great, very divine, very light, and beyond everything. According to Bhagavān Śiva, there is a call of 30,000 or 35,000 [paths]. Śivajī has brought meditation, praśnas, prāṇāyāmas, etc. But now Bhagavān Śiva said there are 25, or how many thousands of life creatures? All this begins with water. Water is life. Jag, jagjā, jagadīśa. Where there is water, there is God. What does that mean? The life and this God which has given this is for each and every creature. They live only through water. In the ocean, in the water, more creatures die than may be on the earth. Of course, under the earth—long ago when I was in Austria, I think maybe about 25,000 years ago or maybe some time later—they told how many creatures are under the earth. They said, "You stand on the earth. Just stand there, and then you will see how many creatures are very near and under your foot." Sorry, I don't know; I've forgotten. It was in Austria, and they were giving a demonstration every week or month. It was from science, from America. They would show you: you stand there, and they will show you. See, you can't stand there; you don't know how many creatures are under you. Similarly, it is in the water. Water is life, and that is like our body. In our body, we have mostly water inside. Also, there are some creatures that are flying, coming and going in the air, in this space. Yes, and more like this. So it is said: jīva jīva bhakṣyate. Each and every creature is eating each other. All animals, big and small, are killing others, eating others. They will do it. Then it is said once, "My Lord, my God, my Bhagavān, my Śiva," etc. What are we thinking? Who is my God? And they said they are eating each other. God, is there any that we will understand? We cannot, we will not kill any others. And that will be then what we call human. But it has been given that it means you are already like my God. But there is also one thing again: it's not that you are okay, I am a human, and now I will be God, and I will go into heaven. Where is heaven? Heaven, where is heaven and where is hell? Everything, everywhere, we are there. But for humans, it is said God said, "If you will do what I said, you are a human." You will be good to everyone, give love to everyone, take care of the others, and become thyself to know my God. And how will this come to me? Then it is going, I am going, I will come to you, but you will not see me. I am just telling, oh men. Oh humans, I am telling, and you don't know what is God, where is God, and how is God. We are telling from ourself. You are here. Did you see God? We said, "Yes, of course." So, okay, our God is our father. Father means father, okay? Your uncle, your mother, but they are also in different insights. And we also, if you want to see God, you will not see, but maybe. But you should know that I am with you. It means yourself, in your heart or in the body. If you want to know God, He is in every creature, in every creature. But only they can live and go on like this, not the humans. And humans, they are living, they are protecting everyone, and they live in their life also. Every creature has life, even very tiny mosquitoes you can't see. But they also have life exactly. For example, the ocean: clouds come to water, the drops, very fine drops. And we take this drop of water coming from the sky with the waters from there. One drop, and we are standing on the ocean near. We know the ocean, how much water. But on my hand, in my palm, there is one drop. And the snow or the ocean is very big. But this one drop is the ocean. And when it drops in the ocean, you don't know there is no drop, but ocean. And so, is that different? How we are living from different? But one day we will come to that we will become one with the very God. I can tell you again, but when all from our bodies, after this, our five prāṇas, then further... and then further, then we are one with God. And what is that God? It means there is nothing and nothing and nothing, but only the one. Our Gurudev, Śrī Svāmī Madhavān, he said, "One in all and all in one. One in all and one in all." We are one in and out, and one so this is not out. We are now, we are sitting all here in our ashram in the whole here, but how many are we here? We are only one, but we see there and yourself if you are here. You are here, but you know it's not only one, your ātmā, your soul. Our whole body is full of the gods, many, many... Different kinds will become one, and it will go like this: it means that when Śiva was also not there, there wasn't only the space, space, nothing. Then it comes, that principle of that, and Śiva was not just... Arrived like this, he so many, many things, and then he is coming and he said, "I am." And then, you know, it comes to two. And so Śiva, and Śiva has given both of them. And now, in many, many ages and ages, Śiva is coming, going; Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and everything. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, also like this, you are, maybe some of you are sitting here. It is said that from Brahmā, it will come back to one tiny something. That's it. It is. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, they will all come somehow, somewhere, when, they don't know. So, it is a movement, always. And we know, we think we are happy, we do all this, we will do everything. But you know, one day we will again go, and when our life is gone from the body, we are humans, and we animals also, they're unhappy, and they are crying in some way or this. But the humans now, they die, and we are very, very sad, and so, and then we... bring them into the fire or into the water, or the different ways, putting them in the earth. But who is giving? And you know that if we know that only we are, only we is wrong. They put it in the earth and then see, after some days, how many creatures will be in the body. Yes or no? So that much is that you have insight. How and in which way? Mother, father, brother, sister, etc. So that is one. They are all one. We are all one, but we are separating for a while. But it is in the air. Space is expanding, contracting, big, always. But that space is that in our whole body, and that is the yoga. That is yoga. In that way, only certain yogīs who have been concentrated in meditation, becoming very, very much, we are here, sitting here, and we are saying that I am practicing yoga, and I am a yogī, and this and that, yes, okay, okay. But we were not so far. We know. It is said how you are strong. Then you say, "Yes, I am human. I am that." What will happen? Doesn't matter. Then some animals come and bite you here and eat you there. What will you say? Running. Oh, my God. A dog or anything, or snakes or anything. Go, go, go. Yeah, so we don't know. So that is a long time, and when we die, many people die very painfully, with many things and other things. Just now we were in our Kailāsh Āśram, about three days or five days or something. And there was one disciple in Kailāsh Āśram, and one woman, yeah, okay then. But she was coming to our ashram all the time, and going, and any sādhus coming, and this and coming. She would always give someone something, you see. That person is like this. She was very humble, very nice, always coming. And this time, when I was sitting on that day, I said that she did not come today because there was a marriage, there was something. And then they told me, and they said, "Oh my God, she's dead." So I went to her house, and I saw it. When I saw her face, my tears came. How? And they say that the three, four, five ladies, they are always sitting and making bhajans every day, at least five bhajans, and then they go in the ashram or near in their house nearby them. So a few, they were sitting, some ladies, about from here to where Lakṣmaṇjī is sitting. Is there a farm only? And she came from a farm, and she came to his house. And she made a prayer, or something like this, and she said something, and she's gone. She had no pain. She was not afraid. She just, I think, at least we should be so far that we can peacefully now go to the hospital, and then we are making deals here, and then we are making this, and then it's so much money, and after five days, or twenty days, or one month. All money goes out, that's a good idea. Everything, so in that way, it doesn't matter who or how it is, but the heart should be very pure and devoted to God and for everyone. That's very important. So, yoga, yoga means uniting. Yoga is unity. Yoga, from this side, left and the right comes together, these two points, and that is so. Rest is, of course, we are doing always our exercise, our body, to live happy and very good. So many people, they don't make yoga exercises, and they are eating and drinking, it's okay, but they will die. How difficult it is, very much so. Our body is not only that, but many things in our body, and if we don't give them something, then it will... becomes like what is got the disease, and this is many disease. You see that we know, we are, some people are here about 90 years or more, something or that time there was not so much disease. They died. Like this, but now this, you know, it is. He said, "The white sugar, white sugar, eggs, and eating so much meat." These are the three, mostly that, cancers and many things. But now people say, "No, I am good, I will eat, I will eat more." Okay, but at the end, what will come? So life is that. That's why yoga. So, yoga in daily life: three points, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Only three: yoga in daily life. Yoga in daily life, that's all. So, yoga, we have all, yoga in, in that we should be, yoga in daily life. It means, always, always, always wash your body well, do exercise well, then you will be fine. Yoga in daily life. And if one day you will not do yoga in life, then do not eat today. Don't eat, so at least your inner body will have exercise. Test. So, yoga, people are now, have learned many months very good, and round the whole world is given by, and the whole world has yoga in everywhere. But now the people, they are making only the physical body run, and this and that, and that what? Ṛṣis, yogīs, who is that? It is a real yogī. In our mind, we should more and more give up anger, hate, jealousy, and many things, and come to become pure. When we are not for others to do bad things, then we are better. But I am saying, you are sometimes okay, and then sometimes you are so angry, and so this and that, and tell your parents and everything, or friends, "I don't want this." And my father, then you have done for a whole one year's problems of whole years. Spirituality is what you had, it's gone. It is just like that's all. Therefore, practice every day, peace, harmony, do good, and don't kill animals or eat them. Yes? Well, in the ashram, here there's nothing, but at your parents', I hope they are not also eating. And if they are eating, then tell them, "Mother, father, please, now don't kill." If you kill someone, he will kill you. Then, in that way, so in India, Bhārat, and the ṛṣis and munis, the pure, our Sanātana Dharma, our Bhārat, it's like, however it may be. There is nothing like this anywhere. How many bhajans do we have? How many bhajans are here? How many books? Not only ours, yeah, many, many others, yogis, how many books? And how nicely in that, it doesn't matter what the language is. The language of that, in no other countries have I seen so many bhajans. Premanajī, you know? Yeah. And when we are coming, anyone, even if they are not a good speaker, they can say, they can sing the bhajan. They can say everything. This is because this is that. And that's why when Holy Gurujī was in Europe with me, people from there said to Gurujī, "Why do you have all gurus and gods in India?" So, Holy Gurujī said, it is like that place is for the God, the gold, diamonds, etc. And some ways, only coal and these things. And so, really, mostly all gods are in all of India still. But now, our India is more before white. And sooner or later, it is Śiva, Bhagavān, God. Again, Satya, Sanatana, and Dharma will come together once more. Om Namah Śrī Prabhu Dīpanārāyaṇa. Om Namah Śrī Prabhu Dīpanārāyaṇa. Haṁsabhādas Prabhu Śaraṇaparāyaṇam. ... Om Namah Siddhī Prabhu Dīpanārāya Ghamma Sabdhāsa Prabhu Śaraṇāya Ghamma Sabdhāsa Prabhu Śaraṇaparāya Om Namah Siddhī Prabhu Dīpanārāya. All my dear ones here and in the whole. India and all countries, you have heard from Swami Madhvanjī, or how is your name? You have, you are, this yoga in their life. What is your... no, no... Our yoga practice, yoga in daily life, yes, and so this is that whole world. Many, many people, they don't know me, they did not see me, but they are all listening and want to have the lectures like this. So yoga is not only body, but... further, ātmā, and that only can do the ṛṣis. Yes, one, we can go very far, but we do many, many good things. There's nothing. When we go to the airplane, how much? Till once was till seven hours, three hours, or two hours, five years. Airplanes fly at high speed from this country to that country, and we see no God somewhere. Nobody is there, nobody gives water there upstairs, nothing. Yes, again we come down, but where is that? And therefore, God has given this earth. Really, more than this, Earth doesn't matter. We are saying moon and sun and world, many other things are there, but Bhagavān, God, is peace, and He is always here. Again, the ocean—it can be, it will come to the ocean inside, and then it's going. So life is very happy, as we are in somewhere in the case. We are in the case. They have the birds, and this bird is in the case. Life and everybody, but yeah, but you know how this is. If you open, how quickly it goes, right? Just like that, yes. So we are all in the case, you know, and one day, in this case, we will go out. Hari Om.
