Hari Om. Om. There is still space, okay. So, we have steam... So, one thing we do, we will do like this, and we will have more space, yes. So please, you can come a little. There are two, three people here, a little to this side, this side. Because we will not tell someone, "Please, there is no place, you should go." And we will not make it like this. We have plenty of space. I have remembered one thing. Our Holy Gurujī gave one lecture, and there he was telling something. And so Holy Gurujī told one story: that in the forest, there was a lot of snow, very cold, very cold, and there was no house, only one small little house. So there was one family, one girl and her husband. Well, they were sitting there, and one man came. He said, "I’m very, very much cold." Okay, let’s come in. Then another man came. He also wanted to sit there. Again, the third man came, and that tells what happened. They gave him room, and then the fourth man came. Her husband, her friend, and four people. One came, one animal. And this animal came like this. So that lady said, "We have no place." And this is an animal we cannot do, but her husband said, "No, please, we will give him again also." Well, he came inside, but space was very little. So the man said, "The man took what was called a mattress and took it out." And all the others were left in his room. His wife said, "What are you doing? What can we do?" He said, "Don’t worry, we will be, everything will be good." And again, come on, man, there. So he put so many in a little room. And then one drink came. And he didn’t want to come in. And his wife said, "Please don’t do like this. I can’t even stand." He said, "We have a space, and we should know that for everyone, like it is." And then one more thing came. And that man said, "No problem, please come in." And he went out, and he’s sitting outside, but I will keep my people and everyone, all that they can be inside. And then, when he was standing up, he went out. When he went, he was looking left and right, thinking, "How can I bring more of my people?" And so he came there, and suddenly something happened. So, space became very big. And he said, "For me, my God is more and more." So, people were all very kind and good, everything that I told. So similarly, we are also today. Yes? So still we have space, yes? Everyone is there. We are a space there, and so is that when the human we are, and we are... we should not say, "I don’t want to take you here in your country or there or this." We are human, and there are so many humans. So don’t think that it is very... no, not so much for us in this land. So how much do we have? The land is very, very much. We are perhaps in this place or that city or this city, so how much space do we have? And many people, so let us all be comfortable and with. And now, you know, many times people, countries, or someone, they don’t want to give the land to the people. They don’t take the people there; they are taking all of it out, etc. So, it means that we are human, and the donkey, again, and the donkey stands there. People want to go, everybody. But he was standing there, and the people took him all out. But, very, like this, but still he was, the donkey was standing, and said, "I will, I will leave. I will leave." So, it’s not only I’m telling this; all of us are telling that the problem is the other. Not like that. So we all, we are all human. And this human, they are very good. They are for us all the times, and we should be there. So don’t give anyone, "No, we will not give you a place here. We will not do it in your country. Go out of this." If it is like this, it will be fighting and fighting and fighting. So, we shall give further. You know that we welcome at our home, and then we come to our friend. Yes? They give us something: eating, water, etc. If we live like that, in that way, then we are human. The human. What is a human? It is said, you know, that Jīv, Jīv Bhakṣate. Jīv, Jīv Bhakṣate. Jīv. Jeev means living creatures, every kind, even little animals or anything. What is that? One little bee is coming, what we call the little ant. And very little, and so she has space to come. All they come together. And we know how, when they come in, these trees, these animals, they go in their path. You know, they go very far in that yonder way. So there was one person who was sitting near his garden. And in the garden, one tree. And he was the person who was making meditation. Sitting there, one hour, two hours, every day. One day... Can you hear the light? Okay. Pommali, pommali. When we make a fire, then you should not put it like this. When we... yeah. So we put it like this. It can be broken, therefore like this, like this,... and not like that. Okay, so this is the next thing, okay? Yes, yes, really, yeah, we are making like this, and generally it is like this inside. Anyhow, this is for you to eat, prasāda. So that one man, every day speaking, meditations, etc., after a few years, maybe about 20 years. Or 30 years, or 50 years, or 40 years. And one day, this one man, he was always sitting very good there, like you have your place, she has her place, every year sitting here, yes, fifty years, sixty years, seventy years. And one day this man said, "So many years, early morning I come, I wash, and sit there, then meditate, and exercise, and so on." One day he sees there, "I have nothing." I have nothing. All the time, all day, he’s telling, "I’m sitting here, I’m sitting here, I’m washing this, that." All the time, but nothing is happening. So what is happening? This man was sitting like this, you know. The people are sometimes going like this for so many years. So he is sitting like this, and the tree is there. And he looks to the tree, and there comes one ant. And this man is looking. An ant is going up slowly, slowly, bank side, not up like this, but like this. The ant is going up, and he comes about so much and falls down. What? The fruit? Not a fruit, it was like sugar, very little. Some grass or something again. Then the ant went down and again took this something, this eating, up. Again, he’s putting it up, and it falls down. Again, the ant takes the seed and goes slowly, slowly, slowly. And this man is sitting like this. And the ant is coming down. Again, it takes up. So, how long was she doing? And that man, he said, "This ant is stupid." Why does she take this and go out, take another one, and then it’s finished? But she has not let go away, all the same way. And he is sitting like this. After about ten times, twenty times, then an ant came up on the tree, just inside, and went in with the seed, and went inside. And then this person who was sitting there, and I was looking at how long he was sitting. But now I see the ant took this part of eating, went away inside, up. Then that man, he said, "So long he was sitting, this little ant, to think here." And now, why can I not? How many years was I meditating? Yoga practicing, meditations, this, all the meditations, but nothing is coming. And he said, "The ant has done like this. She did not give up." The ant said, "I will take all this up in my upstairs because rain is coming and water is coming." And the ant knows that about one and a half hour, he or this one here, and hence went good. Then this yogī, he sat there and he was meditating again, and one day he became like a light inside: peace, harmony, something like that. Something is coming onto him, many dying people and great things, and this is how to go, but how can we do it, and how cannot we do it, how will we do it? So there is one bird, a very nice bird, and this bird has a tree, and there is a nest branch. And then this tree made a very beautiful nest. So beautiful nest. It’s hanging, it’s hanging like this on the ground. And very nice. And she was making with one tree on the one end, the tree... No, no, animal bird, the bird. And so the bird, whole day working, very much working with bird. And after two days or three days, four, five days, and she got beautiful nest. Nest, and then she was sitting inside, very nice, so always sitting here, and inside is help. Now she made the eggs, not eggs, sorry, yeah, eggs. Well, it’s coming one day, very, very cold, and rain and rain, very much. So that one animal, Nag, was sitting here, and the wind, and she was, yeah, yeah,... And it is very, not like this, but something like that. And nobody, this little camp, no one comes like this. Well, it comes one day, very much water. And very cold, coming rain and rain and rain. It comes, one monkey. Monkey. And the monkey came near the tree and sat like this. Here, and coming rain, and it’s very cold, and the trees, of course, hide up. So he can smell that. If he goes there, he cannot go down, and rain is coming. And then, one tree, on that, one bird. And the bird said, "To whom?" Who? Yeah, monkey. And she said, "Who? Bird." Sitting like very nicely, yeah. And sitting here inside with her little children. And she’s going like this. And saw this tree seed, the bird said to the monkey, "My dear, why don’t you make a nice nest? You are always suffering, so you should also make it like this." And the monkey said, and she said, "You are trying to my tree, and you said me something good for me, but I am greater than you." And so this iron jumped on it and broke the other branch. But it did not go out; it remained. And therefore, someone said that this you have, you don’t know why you are suffering and doing other things. So if you would have done also a little nest, then you will be also very happy and very... And so, that is what I was thinking today. I was thinking very much, "Holy Gurujī made it very nice, how he was speaking these things." So there are various noises from the other side, in the forest or somewhere. So it means that we should do for ourselves, for our, whatever is good we will do, so nothing can be destroyed or this and that. Be that good, everything so, and you can give to others also. This is that: what we can do and what we cannot do. There are three parents, so one man has three children. And all was good, everything. And the parents, they gave the children to make schools and everything. And everyone, they said, "Where are they going, working, and this, that?" One did not go to work for nothing. He’s coming home and sitting there, with nothing to do, and like that. The family said, "Please, can you come and help with something or this?" They said, "No." He had nothing, no money, anything, and the parents gave him a little money. They took everything and went somewhere to eat something. And one is that it is him, but he likes everybody fighting with him. Anywhere there, you are standing there, or this or that is given, and fighting this and that, this thing. And the third one, the third one is so good, and he was studying, and he learned everything, and he became a very great person, and he had got so much money. Even he was giving to his brothers or something like that, and they would take everything away. But that one, he is very great. Then who is that great one in this? In your country here, you are one of the best officers, or who? They are very good. Goes good, yes? So this is how it should come into the man, into the man’s head, in the head. This is that which otherwise always suffers and suffers. It is like this tree and this tree. People walk like, some branch is a little bit broken. But this branch will again come, again better, like this. So why does this go like this? And he will always go up. And it will not go down. Yes, so is that we all practice this ourselves? We cannot every time only say, "Oh, how will that? Where will nothing?" or this, no. So, you be yourself. We should look to ourselves for everything and give more of other people’s good things. Never tell anybody negative things. That is the best, the human. So this is practice. We have to have a practice. Only we can do. Nobody can do anything. We have to do ourselves, yes, and it will come to us. It comes and comes and... It will really come, or others will be suffering. Like there, the bank, the animals, what was it that we have taken? The bank, the tree, yeah, yeah, that’s it. So let us... See, we all know, and God has given us everything, and we should be with the humble things. Otherwise, we can also become negative, and in negativity, they will be fighting and this and that. So let’s practice in that very way, so our life will be. We can sometimes tell somebody that’s all, but if you can do like this, then people will not... They, what they said, what, how, that, when the... What? The animals were sitting there, yeah, and then another came and said, "Tell you why you are suffering." Here, why don’t you work on yourself and do good for yourself and give to others? Yes, we should practice with ourselves, we should do it ourselves, and otherwise we will suffer. And if we practice, then we can also share it with others. And it comes immediately and very good, it comes again, it comes, it just comes. That’s definitely. How many people are you? Are there many? And you are very good, you are working very good, yes, and they have money also. Yes. And some, they have the money, also the money, but the money goes to where? Alcohol. All the drinking, all the drinking, and this, then, and that, it’s gone. For why? Because it is going negative, slowly and slowly and slowly. So that’s why yoga is the greatest thing. So yoga is that whole life we will learn, and we will do, and we are getting, and we should give to others also. But sometimes others, they don’t do. Oṁ Namaḥ Siddhi Prabhupāda...
