The living God is known through reverence for all life. Yoga spread from its source to many lands. Teachings and blessings from the great masters are present, as if God is with us. A divine presence has been brought forth through devotion. The essence is received through hymns and words. The living God is not merely a name or a historical form, but the present life force in all creation. This divine principle is within every being and element. All life, from humans to creatures in the ocean and air, shares this sacred essence. True spirituality involves seeing this living God in everything. Therefore, practice non-violence and reverence. Do not harm any living being, as seen in the conduct of those who walk carefully to avoid injury. This reverence is the foundation. Prayer is offered to all gurus and divine forms, not just one. It is an expression of gratitude for life itself. The path requires care for the body and all beings, avoiding harm and conflict. Ultimately, life is to be lived in full awareness of this divine presence.

"God is living; that living God."

"Life is the life. Life is that life."

Our Gurudevs, Mahāprabhujīs, holy Gurujīs, and all our friends and myself. If you think that is truly the yoga, and we received yoga in life at that time, that is fine. But consider how much yoga has flourished in Europe; it originates from our yoga in life, yes? It spread greatly, first in Czechoslovakia and other regions, Hungary, and places like that, then it reached other parts. It has since spread everywhere, to other countries as well. These are Mahāprabhujī’s lectures, Mahāprabhujī’s words, Mahāprabhujī’s blessings. It is as if God Himself is with us. Of course, I did not see Mahāprabhujī, but I can say Mahāprabhujī is with all of us, half of the time at least, which is great. And Ālagpurījī has come. Do you know the Ālagpurījīs? Yes, our Ālagpurījīs. You Europeans brought Ālagpurījī. I can assure you 100%, you Europeans brought us the Ālagpurījīs. Yes. That is it. Where did it begin? It began here in Czechoslovakia. Then in Vienna, I spoke about Dr. Shanti; she was traveling there and elsewhere, from Europe. So, we have brought Ālagpurījī Mahārāj. You know that the holy Gurujīs have bhajans, words, everything from Mahāprabhujī’s and Ālagpurījī’s bhajans and books. Yes. And now we have Ālagpurījī. How do you feel when you look at Ālagpurījī? How do you feel? No one is saying yes to anything. Yes, Ālagpurījī, Ālagpurījī. Ālagpurījī has given me visions three times. The first vision was in the clouds, of a very strong man. It was as if I had given someone the power to become very great and very strong: Ālagpurījī. Then Ālagpurījī was wearing a crown. Ālagpurījī is from the time of Bhagavān Śaṅkara. That is Śaṅkara, Śiva. You can see references in Śiva's books; that is from Ālagpurījī, who is very great. In India, many people know of him, many sādhus know him very well. But we have brought Ālagpurījī very nicely to receive his vision. On the day you first saw Ālagpurījī, your eyes became one with him. Do you understand? Śrī Prabhudeepānara Haṃsabhādas Prabhu Saranapara Haṃsabhādas Prabhu Saranaparāyaṇam Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Śambhādasabha Devadidevadev Purīśamahādev. My dear sisters, brothers, all our yoga students, I am very happy to see you. I am bringing you a message, and that message leads us to God. Yes, how do we come to God? There are many aspects. Of course, God has given everything, at all times, everywhere. We all think of God very much. Everyone says, "My God." They say, "My God." God, my God. It is certain; God is God. But is that God whom we have seen or not? When we received God, and now God is there, it is only a name. We see the forms of God: God Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all others. Also, Muslims see their God, Allāh, etc. But I have not seen. In the beginning, they were given, but they feel, they think, and they know. Yet, they have not seen. They have not seen, but He is in the heart. He is in the bodies, and they say, "My God, are you there?" Also, Jesus. How long ago was Jesus's time? How did he not see? He was there many times. There are books. Yesterday, someone was giving a lecture and said where Jesus was—exactly, it was in India. This and that. Why not? God is God. But now he is gone, yet we have his name. The name is the best. We do not know how the body is, but the name remains. We can also speak of Buddha and others. Spiritualists differ; they speak of God. But the difference is that we must know the living God. When you see the living God, then you will know my God, the living God. So, let us say Śiva. But how many ages of Śiva are there? Still, the name remains, and others like that. But God is living; that living God. You can speak of any: Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, etc., but the living life is God. We are talking about humans, and God, in greater understanding, is said to be human. That is why Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, etc., are us. God comes to the earth. He comes in the air. Many creatures are in space. Perhaps sometimes they come down, something like that, but they are in the air, going and coming. There are five elements, and these five elements contain that living God. If one element is gone, then all will die, all will go. So, when the time comes, then God comes. Yes. What is that? Living. How is that living there? We still cannot see it. Let us say it comes into the mother's womb. It is the father. Yes, the father is the father, and the mother is the mother; both must be. That is why, you know, when you see Bhagavān Śiva, and they ask, "Śiva, but how did you come?" They say, "No, where is it? How is it?" Then Śiva stood up and said, "Look at me." And what happens? Half of the body is Śiva Bhagavān. The left side is Śakti, Gaurī Śaṅkar, whatever you call it. That Śakti and Śiva—what we call humans, men. You can see both in one part, and it is still within you. You are here. Now look, you are a human man, but half is female. And a female is half of a human. It is not something we think of like that. What is that? It is very much within us, and this is very distinct. For example, birds. These birds lay only eggs, and then they develop inside. They come from that. There is more. Like this, they are flying in space. Also, the water. In the ocean, there are more creatures than on land. It is said that humans came slowly, slowly from the ocean like that. But the name, the light, the prāṇas are in this way. We know there is only one man or woman, and so on. If it is said that the real one is a horse... we humans also have what we call the chest, yes. We have temples and everything, but not the horse. That horse was brought, came when Śiva said, and they brought it from the ocean, all of it. That was our horse. The horse is one God. Others, the females, are of course also divine. But these females which we have... Now, yesterday, the day before yesterday, we have a little baby. Even they are here. We are always thinking that we do not want to ask. Please do not tell doctors whether in my womb is a daughter or a brother, a man or a female. They say, "Please do not reveal that. My child will be there. Whether man or female, it will come, then I will proceed." And yes, it is a beautiful daughter. Very nice. And also, when it is a boy, it is still the same thing as told before, like that. So, there are different kinds, like what we call ants. Ants also lay eggs, and from the eggs, they produce further what they are doing. Not only this, also like grass, or all the fruits and trees. They have the egg, or the fruit comes, and from it comes the seed again. Each and every thing—the grass is beautiful, very good, and living. You know, in India there are different kinds, and they cannot walk on the grass. They do not kill any animals. They do not step on any little animals. This is Jaina. Jaina, and at night, they do not want to make a light. In the evening, when the sun sets, wherever they are, they sit and sleep. And in the morning, when the sun rises, they get up and do not wear shoes. Because when they are working, walking slowly, perhaps some animals are there, and they do not want to break or kill them. So they go without shoes. They are great people, many, many. You see that, and what we know is called dharma and adharma. What did they say? Dharma. Dharma is God's feeling, happiness, and all good things, not doing anything wrong. Dharma, Dharma. Whatever you will do that is good, this is Dharma. For the birds, even for the snake, all living beings—no, you can go and see there, on the grass they will not take steps. And when they sit in the, on the, this place where I am, this is wood only, wood only. They will not sit like this. They wear all white, very pure. They have just one cloth on their bed, and they sleep. Of course, when it is very cold, and like this also, they have only that. Sleeping on the floor is already a very weight, and this, in this, then, is like this. They are like this. Come, live with them for one month, one year, or one month, or two months. You will see how it is. They are everywhere in India, and they do not go. They are not going over. The river and ocean, no, and they do not want to go to any other countries. I was in, now about a hundred, now 55, 51, I am in Europe, and Europe and everywhere, there were none of these sādhus, but I said, "Please come," and I told this. So, three or four people came to America, somewhere in London. But now in the London temple, they do not cook; they are not making. But they are going to their people, who are these Jainas, and they go for Bhikṣā. Buddha also was just going to see something for eating, and only if it comes out or not. What does it give? It gives five Buddhas. For the ants, in the water or somewhere, a dog, and one friend, or some guest, or something, and Buddha. He eats that. It is great. He never killed, no meat and nothing. You know that in India, where the Buddhas... you know, one very beautiful tree, very big like this now, and that we call people that that tree is people, and this, like this, from the Bodhi tree. I have had one for about 11 years, or 10 years maybe. More like 11, I think. Someone brought it because Americans and Australians do not give anything from there. But someone brought one, this little seed maybe, and this tree is growing. I went to Australia, and in the middle of Australia, exactly in the middle there, some people were calling me, so I was flying. They bored me, and then again I had to go back on the same day, and then I was also once sleeping there. But when I first came, people were coming and saying, "Swāmījī, I have brought these people, Brakṣā, that much. And can we give you?" They invited me; they brought me by aeroplane. I came in two hours, or maybe one hour. From there, I was there, and many people came. There were also some Indians, about ten or fifteen, from the Nepal ashram in Jadan. Yes, something like that. So there is a very big farm, or not a farm, then like it, you know, we have very big beautiful gardens. There is not a garden like that, and they brought me. I will put it here, there, and then on the stone, a very big stone. There, the people from there wrote on it, on the stone, my name also, and it is there. Now, one day, one of our disciples, she is old, not old but very, and she is from... Australia, Germany, and living there, she is a very big one. Then I told her, "How high is this tree?" And she said, "Swāmījī, it is very high." Then she went. A few days ago, she was standing like this. She is very German, so like this, and above her hand like this, and there, more still. Than the tree, like that, yeah. And then the government, when it is very cold there—very cold—then they put something so that it will be warm. Yeah, really. And there are many people there. There are those who are in Australia. The people were different. Now British people came after a few thousand years or something like that. So that tomorrow I may show you this, the name and everything. And so this is that life. Life is everywhere. All we can have does not matter whether on the earth, in the ocean, in the air, etc. Life is the life. Many people in India, now in the cities, unfortunately not, but many women, they are still doing. Because when it is very hot in Rajasthan, like this, very hot, and there is not anywhere. So, what these ladies are going, they are doing. They bring some kind of, no, from some bush. And that bush, which is like a drip, they cut it and put it like this where the ants are there somewhere. And what do they do there? They give their water and some, like our chapatis, pulpa, palawa. But then what happens? Then come other animals, and they will eat the ant. The ant is not good. It is more we are doing, not so. What these ladies, they are all, they put like this, and stone on it, and then they shoot inside and water, giving their and eat this. Their water is just in very little only, like this. And this, this is called, "Oh human, you are the god of the god. Please give me, save me." And others, what are we doing here? There are also many people who say everything is killed by the chemicals. So this is what we are doing. It is not so easy that we go to God. When we will go to Parabrahma, Brahmajñāna, it is not so easy. It does not matter if you say yes or no, but you know what we are doing. We are also doing very many things, this and that, for which we are doing prayer. When we are making morning prayer, Guru Āratī, Guru Praṇāma, Jaya Guru Devadeva, this bhajan or prathānā, why are we doing this prathānā? Hey Bhagavān, Mahāprabhujī, holy gurujīs, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Allāh, Billā, sab jo hai, greatest they have, they know, yes, in their heart, they do not kill everything. Water, we have to drink; we eat the fruits, we eat sedimentary things. That is why we are making morning and evening praṭhanā. Prathana. What we said? Prayer. Prayer. For what? To our Gurudev. What are you asking the Gurudev for? What, Gurudev? O Bhagavān Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, or other Gurujīs or Brahmā, many, many. Do not say only my guru. We have all gurus. In India, everyone had a living life in God. So, you are born. You are like that. Your father will die. Maybe your mother will die. You are born. You are further, etc. Living. We are living. Now, there are two lives. One is with the spiritual, pure good, or they are cutting the other animals, killing them, taking them. Where will they go? And where will they go? Prathana, pūjā, everything... we go to the... in the Jesus mandir. And there also they are coming, doing pūjā, yes, yes. But now, sometimes it is happening. I went to Croatia, and there is one very famous mosque, yeah, very great. And there is a bed, like Jesus, they are spreading like this. All they are going to the guru's legs, but now they have slowly, slowly, after a few, one, two thousand, a hundred thousand, two hundred—how many? And from the first war in there, before that, how much for Jesus and the people? Women and men, and how did they have a cup, dress, how much they were working, how they were doing so much. Now who is doing that? But those who are like that must not be that; all are that. There are many, many who are worshipping, worshipping, worshipping. We should also worship in the morning, evening, every time. When we are going to eat, then we first make praṇām and pūjā, and then we are giving. I was, when I came to Australia, here, Europe and Austria, Germany, at that time when I went, mostly the people, when eating, they sat down and said some words about this. And now, it is before, like, why are they talking this and that? We lost it, we lost it. So they are true, they will go all again. And you, my deities, gods, we are going on the path of God's grace. Worry. Anybody tells you, "Make this and that and that." No. Thank you. I was in that other life. The animals, and this, they have no time. Many people, you see, people are killing the many animals, yeah, hunting them. That hunting is not like that. Yesterday I saw in my telephone, yeah, yes, and there is in Australia, not Australia, sorry, America, in America, in America, and one man, very nice, very good dress, and have gun, and he wanted to kill that one deer, very big one, and he came and he was so. Put him, not let him to the king where he did, and that legs and this, and he was running there, and he pulled him and threw him there, yes. And that somebody, it was inside. You can see that, my dears. If we have that, we will not have a... War, why we should fire each other? In there, this is a problem. So, in this way, take your life to the gods. And all, all we should not tell why you are doing this and this. No, no... If you want to say something, say it in your heart inside, please, for my friends, or this and now is this. That if you tell somebody, they will say, "Okay, I get you down." In that way, we are here. We are not talking only about āsanas and prāṇāyāmas. This is for our body. And our body is our body. We are living here in human bodies, and then we will go there. Therefore, we should take care, very good care, of all this that we have. Tomorrow, I will tell you, and you know that in India, one man gave a very nice lecture, and then you will understand. I also, please, I did not understand that, and then you people will all see when you are going to India, and you... See, somewhere in this little shop, only like this, and one man is sitting there and he has the lips. There are little lips, big, and he gets the lips like this, clean and very good, and then puts on it something little, little. Uh, what is it? It was mountain. Something from the, what was it? Yeah, yeah. So they put it, so like a, like this, um, like a powder, yeah. Stones, powders, and this or that, or so. Put it like this, and then put a little something more, and write it, and put it in the mouth, and people... Said, "What are they doing?" And today, somebody was giving, and I was listening, very nice. Twice, and it is said that, "What is the camps? What is it?" I forgot that name that I will give. So, you should have three times beat this battle. Yes, and what is that? You will not, never have your knees, and it is all joined. All the joints will be best, about, about... 50 or 60 years, we must tell a woman when, how long they are, and then they cannot take it from children, and they do not make it, then they have to have read this kind. They will be healthy and very, very good, and so women must have that, mostly. That is our sisters. Our mothers, what is there? We should talk about this. You can go into London, and you can get this in London. There are many Muslims and Hindus, and they are eating this chuna. Yeah, chuna, and what is that chuna? What? Calcium. That is calcium. Yes, calcium. And this is really yogurt also, milk also, after that, and the ghee. Also, in this inside is, and then other is more, that is, tomorrow I will tell you, very beautiful lectures has given this, and our joints, all our joints will not have problems at all. Our eyes are not, because we do not have eaten this, and will come in my knees, yeah, and I will. I will go in, I will get it in my room. Yes, would you like to have it? Would you like to have it? Okay, we will bring it from the government of every India, or from everywhere. It is very good. It is bad? Where is one bad one? Yeah, yeah, tomorrow I will give you everything. Sing again, okay? You will know tomorrow or not, okay? So, my dear, life is the life. Life is that life, and so in our life, in the life, or our life is in our life, is that life. We will have the life to live that to the life. God bless you. Dev Kī Jai Bhajan Harika masu marapya tu, harika nake suka duka ida. Kī Jai. Om. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai.
