In these summer programs, we have more time to dedicate ourselves to our spiritual development. For the whole year, you are waiting, and this is the time, the opportunity, where you can finally practice as you like. Twenty-four hours, everything is dedicated to your sādhanā. You have nothing to do except your sādhanā. Everything is prepared for you: cooking, cleaning, service. Only one thing you must do—sleeping you must. During the whole year, we experience a lot of things. You meet so many people, visit so many places, read so many things. Your personal life is up and down, struggling, and that creates a kind of vṛtti, a thinking pattern. You are making saṅkalpa and vikalpa—deciding something, breaking again, thinking something, again changing in your thinking. Many situations arise, every day new situations. Every day new changes take place in your vṛttis. One day you are very happy, the other day not so happy. This means the state of your mind or your being is not stabilized. Your existence, the level of your mind, the plane of your existence, is not balanced. It is like in electricity, where there is a fluctuation, an instability. Just as in electric current voltage, sometimes there is fluctuation; chaos is created, and the energy is not stable. So you connect a stabilizer to maintain a steady flow. The mantra, prayer, is a meditation; it is that stabilizer. It shall make steady your mind, your emotion. Here, you may have fewer problems with electricity, but you never know when it can happen. If you remember, last year, half of North America was in darkness; there was no electricity. Everything failed; New York, Chicago, Seattle, all were blacked out. In India, we experience this every hour. So be prepared that at any time electricity can go. It doesn't matter if you are in the lift or under the knife in the operation theater. Automatic machines with a knife remain like this. But they have generators; in one second or two seconds, the generator starts. So the powerhouse from where you get the power should be stable. The powerhouse from where you get the energy must be stable. The one who is emotionally changeable and changes their opinion will suffer. There are so many differences; many, many bulbs get fused; many expensive instruments and machines get burned. So when you get angry, then many bulbs get fused in your brain because too much energy, too much power is supplied. Life's situation is much more complicated now than perhaps some years before. That is why I gave the name "Yoga in Daily Life" to this system, so that you can get emergency help through it anywhere in the whole world. In Yoga in Daily Life, there is an emergency telephone number which you can dial, and within seconds the help will be there. There is a phone number that you can call anywhere, and the help will be there immediately. The time it takes is only until you dial the numbers. And that number is "Oṃ Prabhu Dīp Nirañjan Sabduk Banjat". That telephone number is "Oṃ Prabhu Dīp Nirañjan Sabduk Banjan". You will see in Cīḍakāś, blue light is coming with alarm, with siren. You will see in Cīḍakāś that the blue light, the flashing blue light, will approach you with a siren. You will see how in your Cīḍakāś, blue light quickly arrives with a siren; and that siren has a beautiful melody also, saying to you the answer to your call. This is the answer; these are the two emergency numbers. So life is up and down, up and down. And not only for one of you, but for all in this world. Personal difficulties, impersonal difficulties, family difficulties, social difficulties—every day there is something. And that is perhaps now, in the Kali Yuga, the beauty of our life, because this lets us develop. In the very beginning, when cars and engines were first developed—when the jeep, or truck, or bus came—I tell you from my experiences in India, about forty-five, fifty years before, the jeep was here, and two kilometers far away, the animals ran away. The cows and buffaloes and camels and so on, as the jeep approached, the animals, the sheep, the cattle, ran away in a two-kilometer circle. Now, when even you are blowing your horn, the buffaloes are standing on the road and relaxing. When you force them more with your noise, then they make something. I think they are more relaxed. This is saṃsāra. You see in India many things that we have seen on television. In the middle of the traffic, cows are sitting relaxed. She stretches her one leg towards the road, you know, and the whole traffic makes a round around her. But no one gets out of the car and hunts away this animal. Any driver or anyone who is sitting in the car knows that animals have equal rights to live. They know that the animals have the same rights to live. You see, that is a knowledge. They are not illiterate. When you ask them, then they will tell you their name. If you ask the villagers what their name is, they say, "I? The name has only God." But literally, this is my name—without any titles. And those who have been in the schools, before you ask anything, they come and give you a hand and say, "I'm Dr. So-and-so." Before you can ask them anything, they come to you, shake your hands and say, "I am Dr. this and that." A few times I experienced this. In Jadan Āshram, someone came directly to Holy Gurujī, to the schools and everything. In Jadan Āshram, when someone went straight to Holy Gurujī, in Cypriot and everywhere, he didn't say "Praṇām Gurujī." He came and said, "I am Dr. Swāmījī." He said, "Swāmījī, I am Dr. Taithai." You know, Gurujī has a very special smile, a very beautiful smile, and very good answers always, permanent treatment. So Gurujī said, "And?" So he had no answer. And the people, what you call humble, devoted, small village people—even if they never saw Gurujī before or never heard about him or some sādhus—they will put off the shoes to one side and very respectfully come and greet. So there you can measure how deep is the water. It is symbolic of how much knowledge this person has. So, there is a lot of knowledge, but not that real knowledge. So, in daily life, every day the same things happen. In everyday life, a lot of things happen every day. We are sometimes totally confused; we don't know what to think, what to do, where to begin, and where to end. So the summer program is something for us to overthink and clean our inner mirror from the dust which collected the whole year. And mantra, smaraṇa, every day. Prayer, mantra, will keep your mirror clean. Listen humbly. Go to satsaṅg. No sādhanā, no anuṣṭhāna is greater than satsaṅg. Therefore, the teachings of all sages are filled with the glory of satsaṅg, saying, "Satsaṅg, satsaṅg." It is satsaṅg which makes man into the God-man. Satsaṅg, satsaṅg, satsaṅg.
