So, in this Kali Yuga and in this complicated situation of the world, the only thing we can do to protect ourselves—and protection of the self means protection of all—is to withdraw yourself and limit your needs. Then things will change. I hope I have inspired you and that you will inspire others. I did not speak much today about the benefits of yoga āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and concentration, and what can give you strength and relaxation. You have all this in your life every day through listening, and your yoga books contain everything within them. What I spoke to you is truly from my heart, by the ṛṣi consciousness, the consciousness of the supreme master, and I hope you understood. If you understood, you will do it. And if you have not properly understood, you cannot do it; you will not. First is to understand. This time, I have a new trial for us. I will find out how much you understood me and how much you did not understand me. That means you will find out for yourself whether you got me or not. If you got 10%, that is also something. But I can tell you one thing: say no to plastic, please. That is not difficult. Second, we should be protectors, not destructors. Third, the aim of our life is to get liberation and realization. Fourth, we shall protect the environment. Fifth, whatever we do, it will come to us. Finally, nothing will go with us; everything will stay here. Yoga is a cosmic balance, which balances our body, mind, consciousness, our emotions, our thoughts, our thinking, our words, our memories, and so on. The greatest power in this world is the Mother Śakti. Respect the ladies, the mothers; if she is not a mother, it does not matter. She represents as a mother; understand that.
