You are in me

A spiritual discourse on grace, personal transformation, and universal yoga practice.

"Things come and go in life. Do not think it is not good. It is coming and going, coming and going."

"Yoga in Daily Life means it is only for you. It is your yoga every day. It should be. It will come good again and again and again."

The lecturer addresses a gathering, sharing a story about a saint (Swāmījī) who endured an insult from a man who later became his devoted disciple, illustrating how grace operates over time. He emphasizes the universal, non-sectarian path of "Yoga in Daily Life," encouraging daily practice beyond religious labels. A disciple named Muki stands to share his experience as a Muslim drawn to the practice. The talk concludes with reflections on shared humanity and the spiritual energy of the ashram community.

Take the prasāda. When you come, take some prasāda. Keep some at home and leave it there. Then, each day until we meet again, eat one piece. You will see how beneficial it will be. So, we receive the prasāda daily. We take one piece in our mouth and another to keep. You leave it in the house and have one piece each day. There are many good things here. There was a Gurujī, a Mahārāja, with four or five people around him. Swāmījī was passing through with two or three companions. Everyone was calling out, "Gurujī! Gurujī!" Then they saw Swāmījī and reacted with surprise. There was a man working there. When he saw Swāmījī, he said to him, "You are like... no, no, what is this? Deng, deng, dengkiri, dengkiri. We will not do that." He said, "Muslim," and then remarked, "Your beard looks like the tail of a donkey." His disciples were furious, but Swāmījī said, "No, no, don't disturb. It's okay." Gurujī continued on his way. Everyone else was very angry at how that Muslim man had spoken to Swāmījī. But Swāmījī was undisturbed; he went to the ashram, to his house, and said nothing. He said everything was okay. After about thirty years or more, that Swāmījī had become very old and was sitting in his bed. Some people thought he would die. Gurujī then said, "Please, can you bring that Muslim man to me? I want to speak to him." Everyone asked, "Should we bring him here?" But the man came. He had also become a disciple. Before Swāmījī could speak, the man said, "Gurujī, Swāmījī, please, please, please don't say anything. I was a very bad person that day for acting like that." Swāmījī said, "I knew that one day you would say it was good, not bad." So it is like this. When something happens in our life, from the moment it occurs, you may go away and then come back again. I can tell you this from my own experience with many disciples. Some were with me for one, two, three, four, or five months, then they went away, saying, "I don't want to practice this." But again, this person returned. My Gurujī never said anything about it, but it comes to that. After a few years, the person comes back to me. "Swāmījī, how are you?" "Oh, I am very good." Things come and go in life. Do not think it is not good. It is coming and going, coming and going. But when one has gone deep inside, sometimes one thinks, "I was good," or "It was not good," and so on, but it was inside all along. Whenever we speak something good, it will always come back to us. Therefore, I always say that we are all very good. You see people talking about this and that—this is Hindu, this is Christian, and so on. That is why I named our path "Yoga in Daily Life." Not Hindu, not Muslim, not Christian, not this or that. It is only Yoga in Daily Life. What is yoga daily? It means practice every day. So, whatever good things we are doing, we see that they come every day. When "Yoga in Daily Life" came to you—in books or anywhere—perhaps you saw the book, put it aside, and it was gone. But many times, again and again, yoga comes into daily life. "Yoga in Daily Life" means it is only for you. It is your yoga every day. It should be. It will come good again and again and again. You know, nowadays some people in India are promoting certain ideas. Some Indians are thinking only of India, but they do not provide anything proper; they only create divisions. Then they say, "No, no Yoga in Daily Life or this and that; we should be only this." It cannot be just one. I told you a few days ago: one mother had one child. After a few days or a month, another woman had a baby. So there are two. Both are very good. But this mother is this one, and that mother is that one. So it should be like this. Because my child is exactly like this and has this prāṇa, and the other has his prāṇa. According to this, these prāṇas are something, and that is why it is always very good. So you are in your countries, wherever you are, and that is always the best—that we are. Let me give you an example. There is one girl; she comes and goes. You know this is a family: three children, three friends... She and these Muslims are so humble towards me. They keep coming, and all the time they know Swāmījī is there. They are Muslims; they go to their family, others prepare, but they are also here all the time. There is a Muslim family sitting here too—the father, parents—but he is like a holy Gurujī. You know that one. What is your name? Guru Muki. Yes, can you stand up and tell something? Yes, say something. Jai. Muki is Adasuki. Mahāprabhujī is Kṛṣṇa. "It is funny to be on the other side of the camera because I used to be at Vijayā's place. Greetings to all webcast viewers. There are so many words. We have heard from Viśva Gurujī for so many years. The power of the word is what makes the difference between intellectual knowledge and any one of them. I was born as a Muslim. But satsaṅg and dharma are above any religion, so what attracts me to Gurudev is just the practice. And this great practice we are doing all these years is bringing results on the individual level. Saraswatī is always happy to share this with satsaṅg and sevā. Happy to have you all here, and a lot, a lot, a lot of satsaṅg still with you, wherever we are." So it is like this: we are human. There are many animals, many things—all birds, and all beings. But Śiva Bhagavān gave the human form. So we, as humans, are very good. We are humans. Everyone has different languages, lives in different places, and eats different foods. One is Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and many others. They want to claim, "I am like this, we are this, we are this..." Yes, yes, and it is yes. But when our prāṇa, our prāṇas inside—we who are that, and the whole bodies, that side in the bodies—we were talking: all mine, you, and this. But when it is like this, then what? Not this, and not what? That only the body, this body. Which kind of body? The human body. So we said "human." And so, that is in this one body: language, words, everything is with us. But at the end, it is like this: we are human. We are human. How we move here and there is different, but only until our body lasts, and then we are going up again. Then there are two paths: one is for those who are more exact, going with "no killing, not this, not that." Perhaps it is going up, and this one is going, and it will come back sometime again and again. It is like this, and therefore our yoga... Yoga means Yoga in Daily Life, and we should always write everywhere, "Yoga in Daily Life, Yoga in Daily Life," right? Right, everywhere, okay? Now, all right, anywhere, make something, give it to someone: Yoga in Daily Life. So, what is the yoga? In daily life, this comes from the words "Hindu's Yoga in Daily Life." But then we said, "Yoga in Daily Life." So, every day, practice our yoga. What is the yoga exercise? What is in this exercise? This is our bodies. How are we doing for our bodies? So this is a very good Yoga in Daily Life, all right? And in this Yoga in Daily Life, it's not only the physical bodies. There are many old strategies. For example, we come home in the morning and say, "Yes, we need something." You know, I told you very much about the Muslims yesterday. They are very much. They don't only do like this; they wash, they have something very busy. But other people also, we are doing this. So in that way, we are human. Human, human, sooner or later we will come into the highest of the highest of the highest. Not only that, there is one thing: neither good nor bad. So, as we always said to the Christians, we said we are all gods. No, no, no. That is all we are, Christians. So we are like this, and others are not. But it's not like this. It is coming, going, and out. It is there. There is no... this is our, we are this, and we are okay. How long? How long will it go out? It will become so there is no words there or this. So when there is only... will come the real space, the space only. And those who are not there, they are here. Some bowl here and some bowl here, and like this. But one day, the bowl is gone, poof! What happened there? Where? Where? The children see sometimes, no? And it's gone. Yes, so we have to come to that, that we are in the whole, and there we will be again. The coming back again now, and this is Kali Yuga, is very coming now, very, very much, very, very much. But it will again come again in good. So it is very nice to work and see. So, like that, Holī Gurujī said to that one person, told him that he is the donkey, the donkey's tail, telling this. But then after a few years, when that master, that sādhu, wanted to go away, he said, "Call this man, my dear, there is no man like me." But before that, he was coming, and he was in tears. "Please, Swāmījī, please, please." So that is happening, some things. But the negative things go out. So that way, we should all... Someone is great; there is not great. He has no numbers good. There is this number, except everything we know. But now, you know that you all, you are always coming here. And I'm not giving you anything, but always it is coming here, and I'm attracting also there. It is a transfer. So when you go home, you will sleep. Many times, I think you will be thinking of me in your dream. Maybe sometimes, do you feel something? Tell me. Yeah, yeah, so that I go to India, but you are here, something like this. So it is, and you are in me. You are in me, and I am. You are in me. So we become like this in this prāṇaśakti, prāṇa through the whole body, and it goes all the time with us. As today I was telling you, I wanted to tell something, but it all now, this other, which is a very good verse, I wanted to tell. I said that always, always Mahāprabhujī said, "Holī Gurujī's." Holī Gurujī would not say, "Okay, now I will, tomorrow I will give something," and then I came. No. Holī Gurujī was coming, and he gave bhajan and everything. Completely new, just new. And so Mahāprabhujī has given to me. I wanted to, I said, come at home here, and really I wanted to speak something, but at camp other, and this other means in my heart, in my... it is for you. It, my... in it, tell... I should tell you this, which... but not like that. This is this one you have, you should give them, and you are, it doesn't matter, not good or not good, but you are thinking, you are listening, and that is coming inside. And so, our whole ashram, this our ashram, it is very great, yes, so you. We are here, and this is our home, our ocean, our ashram. And our ashram is that it's not only mine, or not only yours, one of which only one, but we are all. And Rādhā was telling once, "This is good or something," and so quickly Mahāprabhujī has given, I think, no? From there, far from there, till here, how nice. So, thank you very much. It is our āśram. This is our ashram, and there are many persons. They are living here whole day and night, people, and anybody who comes, they are giving something. And this, every, so this, there is a, how many of our foot, our foot. How many people come every day and sit always on this? The energy, the energy of everyone is here in this ashram. And so, that's all the best.
