There was a master living in a small hut. Under his bed, a little mouse also lived. One day, as the master sat meditating, the mouse came to him, trembling with fear. The master asked, "Mouse, what happened? Why are you nervous?" The mouse replied, "Master, I am very afraid." The master said, "In my heart, in my presence, why are you scared? Live happily. You have so much prasāda to eat: chocolates, nuts, biscuits." "Yes, Master," said the mouse, "eating is not the problem." "Then what is the problem?" "Master, the problem is the cat. A cat comes every day. When I am sitting near you and she passes by your hut, she stops for two seconds, looks at me, and I become terrified." The master said, "Okay, little mouse, I bless you. You become a big dog. The cat will be afraid of you." Time passed. One day, the dog was hiding, its tail between its legs. The master asked, "What happened again? What's the problem?" The dog said, "Master, last night I smelled a big cat—a puma. Thanks to you, Master, you were here. Otherwise, he would have come and killed me." The master said, "I bless you and make you a big lion, the king of the forest. Are you happy?" "Yes, Master, I am so happy now." "Then eat prasāda and be happy, and be vegetarian, okay?" Whenever the master relaxed, the lion would come to him, licking the soles of his feet and playing with them. One day, the master got a big thorn in his foot. To remove it, he had to dig a little, leaving a small wound. The lion was licking there when a little blood came out. The lion's senses were awakened; his whole body felt a new happiness. He had never tasted blood. He began to lick more quickly, which hurt. The master tried to move his leg. The lion said, "Oh, no," and grabbed his leg. The master looked at the lion. The lion said, "Master, don't move. Otherwise, finish the story." The master said, "You little mouse." And the lion instantly changed back into a mouse. "Go under the bed." Sometimes, when you give too much freedom, they become like a lion or a tiger. They forget your love, your kindness, your humility, your goodness. Your husband is always angry with you, but when you go away for the weekend, then he realizes what it means to have you at home. Our partner, yes. Therefore, power needs control. Otherwise, it can destroy you. Our sensual power, our indriyas, our mind, our habits, our ambitions, our desires, our greediness—all need control. And that is human education. If humans are not educated, and a human does not receive spiritual injections, then humans will be a thousand times more dangerous than a wild tiger or a lion. There should be many yoga teachers, many yoga classes, many yoga centers. It is okay. The whole world should practice yoga in their life. Let there be many yoga centers, many yoga teachers, many yoga classes. The whole world practices yoga in everyday life. But we shall keep control. Do you have any suggestions, commentary, ideas, or questions on this subject? Yes. I have a question. What can we do and what should we do if we know that some other yoga teacher who is teaching Yoga in Daily Life and saying that this is Yoga in Daily Life, but we know that this person eats eggs? Eats eggs. And this yoga teacher doesn't consider that it is important to follow these rules. That is the yoga teacher's karma. So if he or she eats eggs, they will get karma back. That is the personal freedom of a yoga teacher. We should not control that; of course, the best would be if the teacher becomes vegetarian and does not eat eggs and so on. Yes. So it is her or his karma; so what is the value of karma? Recording location: Hungary, Budapest, Seminar
