Human is for God

Yoga in daily life is the essential practice. It must be integrated fully and forever, not kept as a separate exercise. Many learn the physical practice but then reject its foundational principles, like abstaining from meat. This creates a division. True yoga means unity in action and principle, not compromising for convenience or money. Observing a pure lifestyle, free from harming any being, is what elevates a human towards the divine. This is the human purpose. Some teachers and students, even in India, practice but then eat meat at home, which is inconsistent. The discipline must be exact and unwavering. It is not about religious labels but about being a true human. Those who indulge in meat and harmful actions are moving away from this goal. My disciples worldwide who live this integrity are holy. This unity is what we must uphold.

"Meat and other things must be given up."

"Only these two or three things, if we can keep them out, then we are in heaven."

We must learn the yoga of daily life from the whole world. You have learned many things, very good. But only five of you spoke very nicely, expressing everything well. That is the point. Often, when we must speak, we say, "Oh, how is this and that?" We must reach a state where in five minutes, you can bring forth very beautiful words. We have the five [senses]. We can take five months or more, but it is about salt and sweet—the sweet way. Now I have learned all. Whenever the moment comes, I speak immediately. I have worked for this. In all other countries, we must progress like this. In some countries, people come to practice yoga in their life, but they go this way and that. It doesn't matter; they will come. But what is the best way? We must see that it is not only about learning yoga practice. What is it? It should be forever, all day, so we do not fall away. What is said? Meat and other things must be given up. Now, some people have taken yoga, yoga practice from me. They took yoga from me for daily life. Yoga in daily life is mine. Therefore, they have only two things: yoga and practice. They are doing it, and then they say, "We don't say no meat or no that; we don't want to speak about it." Why is it like this? All our people, for how many years—you all, your families, your grandmothers who have become grandmothers as my disciples—they are all at home and everywhere, no meat, nothing. In whole countries, you are more than me, you know, very good. We should all remain as one. Some people speak about practicing and give it to others; that is alright. It is good if one brings our yoga into their life. They should have this unity. They are working; they get much money, people come to them. And the people who come, if we come back again—because now it has been about two or three years—they are trying to push [our principles] out. You can have ours, but it is nothing to them. Then again, there are people who come in that way. Many people in other countries say, "Okay, yoga is only like this, and no meat—we don't want this. We don't know," they say. That is not good. We must bring it to the proper way. It doesn't matter if there is one person or ten, but we should be exact, very good. I will go to other countries again after a few days. There are many, many of my disciples there. When I sit there, little children come. The children don't speak; they sit with their mother or father, but they are very peaceful, sitting there all the time. When I speak, I give prasāda. One day I had gone and did not give it. They said, "But, Swāmījī, very Swāmījī, where is my chocolate?" They always come like this, all of them—their mothers, grandmothers, brothers, everyone. And there are some countries where they still cannot say, "We have to be like that." Still, there are people like that, eating this and that. But we must always say: if we want to have, we are human. The human is for God. But those who eat meat and this and that—you are a human, but you are going down. You will go back. But those who will be there, they will sit here. There is no meat, no [harmful] action; we are not killing anybody, not animals or anybody. Like this, then we are Hindu, human, śarīra—the humans. There are many people, even many in India, who come and say, "Practicing yoga," but go home and eat meat. That is not good. I tell you all that's... Why? You people come from many other countries. Today, I want to tell you in India—here, in what is called our place, Jadan. So Jadan jo hai. Jadan is the village. So Jadan is there. Iske andar mein, even they know—I have been telling everybody for many years—they don't understand. They don't understand. And they are eating meat and doing this, and many things. Why? Why? Because they don't know what it means. After May, we will go again another time. But when all was very nice, they knew it. Meat and anything they had done, they will be. It doesn't matter if it is a Swāmī or not, or any person. Only these two or three things, if we can keep them out, then we are in heaven. In that heaven, we all have to come like this. Because if we tell them, "No, but we are eating this, and we should eat it," then why? Then why do you tell the animal? Animals also take like this. This is all that we are bringing. You are my disciples here. Today, as Buddha can say, you have come here from many, many countries. You come here, you see everything good, and you are giving very, very good to Indians. Our people are coming here and telling you, giving them, "Please practice this and practice this, and no meat, no this," but many people cannot. And many people say, "I'm very [important], how many things I am, and I'm hot, and money's there, and I am higher, and this okay." You have died. You make the aeroplane, you make it. This aeroplane of who have done, but one Śiva. Shiva did this, right? Shiva did this. So it happened from there. It started from there. He picked them up, and they sat on top of him, and walked. After that, now everything is written down. So you see, we have to learn very good and many things. This is that. So many people are on an aeroplane. In airplanes, people are going, and they are giving, of course, something to eat and drink. Well, all the time, alcohol, alcohol. Always, it doesn't matter in which, and why the money? They are getting money for this. So this is, it will be. But mostly the people, they said, "Please, no, we are not taking this." No alcohol, not this. I'm sitting here; we are sitting in an aeroplane. One side is only me, and the other is him. He wants to eat meat, and I don't want to eat, but I cannot say. He will say, "If you don't sit on the other side, I will eat meat here." So it is like this. So Holy Gurujī was there, gone with that, and they saw beside meat and this Holy Gurujī. I was talking like this, and they said, "Do you want to eat something?" "No, no, no, I made it, and it smells so much, it smells so... I think God has given me that. I don't know what is this smell? No smell, I have nothing." And that is why everywhere I can go very nicely, okay. They are meeting this, and this is meeting me. I don't know what this is and what that is. But I know in my heart, and I want to do like this. And you are my disciples; you are great people for me. I am... not only that I'm working here and doing, but you are the great people here. Holy, you are holy people. You are holy people already. It doesn't matter if it is India or Germany or America or Australia or something, yes. It doesn't matter, but you are very much now, you see, very, very much. And that is, I am always very—how to say that—I am so happy, and I am very good to my disciples. They are yoga in their life. It doesn't matter if it’s Muslims, Christians, Hindus, or others. Okay, they should be like this. Alright. I don't say that I may become a Hindu. No, Hindu, or this is a name. It’s a human being. So if it’s a human being, then it’s two different things. Either it eats man, fish, or this. It will go to them. So Muslims don't know where they are from. We have Hindus, we have Christians, so they say they are Christians. So, where are the Muslims? So they say there is no Śiva, there is no that, there is nothing. You don't know why they are there. Is it true or not? So they do it. They walk in it. They are doing it. It is their wish, but he will not stay. He will not stay. He will go back. He will go back. He will not stay there. That’s why Amāī Dāī, you are very great, all of you. You see, you are in a country. This country, many of you are from different countries. Yes, the country is very good. Everything is very good. Why am I coming here and sitting here and eating here, and maybe this or that? But you come here, you come here, and why do you come? Because you have learned. You have learned. You said, "I want to come with that." So, Satguru. You people are all very blessed, very good, yes. When you will speak one word, in your heart it is coming, very nice words in you. I was telling only five to speak like this, but in your heart it was very, very beautiful, beautiful, good, very nice, very good words. Everything inside is coming from your ears, from the organs, in the nose, in the mouth, in the heart, and everything. When you come, so five. From where did you have come? Tomorrow you will see from your legs, from this, from that. Five from the body, one, one. Then we will be very great. You are, you are... And you will get everywhere further like this. In India now, many very good things are coming, like in Europe or something. And here it was only they did it, but it was not before. It was coming when the Christian people came. The Christian people came; they just did nothing. Very few people can learn anything like that. And that was in so many years from that. We had big problems, and we had everything. But more or less, we are, all Indians, very good, very strong. And they are coming, but you see, they have, again, they are going back. And they are only to eat this and that. That is not good. And this means that it will all go down. It will all go down. And as I told you, we will all go high up. All people are like this. So you are very great. I am very happy with you. If I am not here or not there, you be mine, for you are my whole life. You are with me, yes. And when I am gone, you will be mine. Always you will be. Everybody is in my heart. You will speak everything, everybody, all of you. Because Bapujī, Mahāprabhujī has said this. Mahāprabhujī has said this to Devapurījī. Devapurījī has said this to Mahāprabhujī. So he is like the one who will come. He is Satya. Satya. So the one who has to come, there is a lot in that. He will do everything, but we will go with our love. The other one will say, "No, I have to do this, you do this." As soon as we do this, we will move forward. And that it will go again, what have you, like this. Why do we do this and this and like this? That is the answer.
