Everywhere, in all countries, there are different kinds of yogīs, or Christians, or others. They speak of how they practice in their own lands. In the early mornings, when one rises, all those who are spiritual have their routines. For example, the Christians—how do they do it? When I came to Europe, I observed that in the morning, they all go for prayer. How do they proceed? When we go to the church, on the right side there is water, and all the people see this water. After seeing it, everyone sits on their knees. Then they sit. Afterwards, there is someone—potom tam někdo je—a priest. That is called the priest. And we Hindus, with our swāmīs of all different kinds, we also go to the water and cleanse ourselves in the morning. Afterwards, they speak something, everyone is sitting, and then all are peaceful. After that, they have prayer; this is a prayer. And when their prayer, that mass, is over—just as we here have just had prayer—dávají peníze. And many times they have been lying long within the street, giving all that. And all this goes to the trust. All this goes to the church. After going, they come and after giving everything, then they give some prasāda. We all received this, no? They come there, but when there are so many, then they also put it out, as I did today. So, they are always asking. And how they are speaking, what they are doing—this I have seen in some other countries. I also go into the church, and I see everything. Now, another point: the Muslims. In the morning, when they come, they are on their knees—a different way, but doing essentially the same. Little children wash themselves, little girls and boys, and then they sit in different ways. They have one book. We all write from left to right, but the Muslims write from right to left. They are little children, and they give them instruction every day. After what they do, they go to eating or something like this. They have three times, and that is in the schools when you go. Now they go to different schools, but the Muslims, they go and give praṇām to God. They do. They also, like Christians, take meat and heat it and eat it then. And afterwards, before going to sleep, again the children, when they are coming into the house, and in the evening they do their practice, and then they sleep. I see that, and it is very much there for everybody. Other things are different, they say, but it doesn’t matter who is who. Anywhere there are Christians. But now our Christianity is going slowly, slowly back. We have very nice, big, what we call churches. They are doing many very good things, there is still that, but many are not doing. They will go anywhere; they will go there. Mostly the women go. When I was there—I came to India, and from there I was in Austria—so I went to see a church in a little village. There was this one priest, and he was very great, spiritual. Many people from there called me, and I am a yogī. They said, "Please show us something." So I told them. He gave me a very nice room and very nice everything. But I told that, Christians, in your āśrama, no meat, no alcohol. So, for about five or six days, he was telling everything: nothing, no eating, and nothing, only this. They had near them some animals, but when I was there for four days, they took everything away. They didn’t kill anyone. So I have many friends there, here, and they are praying. But now it’s going on less and less. We have everywhere here, in this room, in the little village, you can go and see how it is. And so it is with the Hindus, in the morning and going to sleep, all they were also doing. And now maybe 60 people remain. And then, when we told or tell, it is like we will go for something—for eating this, eating that, or going somewhere. Going somewhere? They will come back at midnight. There we can go, but to the āśramas or mandira, or do what is intended for you. It’s going down. And you know that the Muslims, they have more children, good and working, everything. So in this way, how is this happening now in these years? And now, it’s also that one thing I told, that there was nothing to go very quickly somewhere. When we went from here to another village, we were walking. We go somewhere and come quickly back because we have all that we can have, the car. And so we people, we all, we go far and come back, and like this. And in the church and everywhere, you see, they go, "Well, I don’t know, but somebody said in little villages, only one month or something, they come and they go." Look down. We will do like this, like this, like this, like this, like this. Many things are different, yeah? So in this way, you also have, you are very much. We are all here. I did not ask anybody, "Are you from Muslims or Christians or Hindus?" He is in with us. But I see everybody. I see everyone. And with that, it has come by so many things to have good things for me. And so we all, with yoga also. So yoga, what we call yoga, and that is, we were doing to take yoga. So they did not know what that is. But then people came only to see and do some yoga. But this is not so. When I came here, then I said, "Yes, he’s very good, everybody’s practicing." But it was not him then. And then came the yoga. So when I asked about yoga, there is, of course, always everybody said, "My religion, your religion, their religion," and so all are separated. And so, for me, I said to myself, "I am above everything. This is one, this is other, and this and that, and like this." It’s like a doctor’s hospital. When a doctor brings the hospital, they will not say, "What are you? Which land is this?" But please bring this child or person who has fallen down. They will say that we don’t take this one, we don’t take this. But in hospitals and there, all the time they are taking only one. Not this is India or Christians or Muslims making or their name. No, only the human, and this comes to them. Clean them, look after that, accept that. And so now that we have these hospitals and this and that, there we all become one. So I was also, it doesn’t matter who is there, who comes and they want and do and give them something. So, in our heart, what is in our heart? Heart. Now everyone knows that it is that heart. But not only one heart. There are other things, navel, and in other things also. So as long as we are alive, we have feeling. What kind of pain is this? One cannot hunt. One person cannot take up. What is in that? In this body. And the body is not only for humans. Each and every creature has a body. Jīv, jīv, jīv. Think about what is that in this, in the heart. When this is so painful and the doctor takes you to the hospital, then their bodies, not just like this, this is other, and this and that, no. And then we’re giving, like, our cloth. So we are all one, over and on the body. And wear what it is. That we cannot. Well, of course, we are all very good, and many doctors and these other doctors and many different things, they are working for our bodies. And even for a little bird, if it falls down, someone will pull it out, but someone will hold it like this, yes. So, you know that everybody, what I’m telling, you know more than me. We are not, and he is not. It comes only, how? When? A needle, one needle, anywhere. How many points is this? One, but the whole body, our whole body, is very painful. And so it is that we all, practicing yogīs and yoga, also take something very peaceful, very good, and do not make any pain for others. So early morning, I tell you many times, I am human. I am human. And others, creatures, they are good, not good. How did they live in life? But we humans, that’s why it has come, God, the Śiva. And Śiva gives them to humans. And when Śiva is there, it will be all good and everything. But they look like a body, a very good person, but inside they are not good. So it is like this. So when they go to the doctor, they go to the hospital. I cannot tell you how they will cut a body part and then give it to them, and this. The doctor knows how to do it and how they bring it. Yeah. And at that time, it’s been many, many things doing other creatures. They also have very much pain, no? And they kill. So, the best is that, oh my God, as much as I’m healthy, please don’t let me somehow be painful. I will go with you, my heaven. But many things, the pain we know, everybody. But someone is there, just gone off. Our people, and we said, "Oh my God, he cooked like this, or he died, or this and this, and what happened so quickly?" But that one is very great. Many times, many things. Once, one lady, morning, and she was making some food or something. And she was doing like this, and she died. And her husband said, "Bring me the tea." And she’s out of the house. Yes, I think best is that God can give her just like this. That’s all. Who can be something? Many people, animals can kill us, others can do many, many things. So we should do our prayers and our practices. Don’t say, "My religion is good," or, "Other ones are good." Everyone is good. But with this here, it’s Hindus, and there they don’t kill animals and eat them. That is very good, of course. We are also eating something, but we are eating the fruits, grains, and this. And that’s why many, many, many come to India and the Himalayas, and from those Himalayas comes this, like Śiva. But how many people, how are they thinking? Many things have gone up. So we can only tell everybody, Hari Om. Thank you. If you will tell somebody, then, of course, they would be very good like this. So, it will come up, okay? Both sides. And we will always do like this, so we are not taking each other. And so, we don’t say like this; we say like this. That, yes, please, thank you. So, many animals, they are also very great. And you see the birds? And from these birds, many, many birds. But there are only two: one woman and one man. And always they are near, and when one bird dies, very soon, we will die and go. Also, only animals die. They like them, so we are all human. Yes, we are human. And we can do anything different, work in this and other countries, like this. But we are human. They are all, but we are human now, and they should come further. So this is what I wanted to tell you: everyone is a human. They are in other countries and everything, they have also.
