Now, we have to change. Entirely, we have to change. Everyone who comes to Yoga in Daily Life seriously has to practice at home for the sake of their health. Spirituality comes after. Spirituality is automatically there if you feel physically well. Our body is full of vikāra and tamas guṇa. And when the vikāra and tamas guṇa are there, then you are not a yogī. Vikāra means illnesses. Vikāra means dead energy. Vikāra means those energies in the body which will cause you illness, and it is the nature of the body to create the vikāras. It is the nature of the body to produce three natures: tāmasika, rājasika, and sāttvika. For the tāmasika guṇa, you don’t have to support anything, and for the rajas guṇa, you have to support something, but for the sattva guṇa, you have to work a lot. So we have to be sāttvika, for in the sāttvika body there is no vikāra. The vikāra is also in the mind. So when the body is not healthy, when the body is full of the vikāras, then the thoughts are full of the vikāras. And when the thoughts are full of vikāra, then the indriyas’ activities are full of vikāras—negative activities. And when the mind is full of the vikāras—the thoughts—then buddhi becomes dull. It means in buddhi there is now vikāra also. So when the buddhi, the intellect, has vikāra, then your pure knowledge is affected; your pure knowledge is covered, like a cloud or fog covers the sun. So your reality is covered by those vikāras and negative qualities. So nothing else can be done than to practice yoga. There is no other way to purify the body in such a way. Don’t think that you have no extra kilos or you have many kilos; that’s a different thing. So continue everyday practicing and seasonally practicing the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, Kuṇḍalī Kriyā, Netī Kriyā, and Prāṇāyāma. You will have no health problems. So why not jump into the new year with a full program of discipline and health? The food we are taking is also full of the tāmasa guṇa. It is full of rajas guṇa. The same food which we are taking, we can have in a different way. That will then become sāttvika food. Of course, we shall avoid all kinds of eggs, meat, alcohol, and so on. But the food, you also have to learn how to cook. 85% of the population who are sitting here in front of me don’t know how to cook. You have lost the knowledge of cooking, and you have developed a wrong taste in your mouth. So it means 95% we don’t know how to eat. And 100%, we don’t know when to eat. This is our problem. So four times a year, every third month, you should have a Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. Every week, on Saturday or Monday morning, you should do Kunjala Kriyā, because on the weekend you eat a little bit more. And with eating, we have difficulties. Mahāprabhujī said: to eat little and to forgive is difficult for many people. And therefore, Monday, Kuṇḍalī Kriyā is very good. Netī you should do almost every day, only in the morning. Agniśāra Kriyā you should do every day. And Uḍḍīyāna Bandha you should do every day. And for five minutes, you should do Kapāla Bhāti or Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma every day. This program must be, and then your āsanas, prāṇāyāmas, which you are doing regularly. So, five minutes of Bhastrikā should be every day. About two, three minutes of Agniśāra Kriyā must be every day. Netī should be every day. Every Monday should be Kunjala Kriyā. And every third month should be the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. And Āsana and Prāṇāyāma should be done a minimum of one and a half hours every day. So, pehlā sukh nīrogī kāyā. The first happiness is the healthy body. We are not physically immortal. Fyzicky nejsme nesmrtelní—and we know that sooner or later, one day, we will die. Thanks to God that we don’t know. And thanks to God we don’t know. And also, we don’t know when, where, and how. We hope that our death should be quick. But you know, those who are lazy, full of tamas guṇa and illnesses, it is like, you know, when the black car is transporting a dead body with one wooden coffin. So if you are living in a lazy body, you are living lifelong in a coffin. That’s it. A lazy body, an undisciplined body, an angry body—it is a dead body, and you are inside. Therefore, tamas guṇa, wash out. Vikāra, wash out. We don’t want to have vikāra. We want to have an ācārya. If you remember, I gave you four points. For the last four years, constantly I’m telling. Are you thinking about what I’m telling you? Do you change your life accordingly? No. If you would have changed, you would look different. So I told you, the last few years constantly, four things: āhār, vihār, āchār, and vichār. Āhār is diet. Vihār is where to go, where not to go. And vichār is what to think. And āchār is behavior. It’s a hard life. To be a human is beautiful, but... To be a human is hard, and we are in this school to become perfect in the school of perfection. Therefore, you have to purify it, begin to practice again, and finally wake up. You are stuck in the tāmasa guṇas: coffee, coffee... Okay, let us make a saṅkalpa that in six months, in summer, my body will be something like a yogic-looking body, and I will be perfectly healthy. You can do it; it depends on you. You should throw away the copying of your dead body, and that is laziness and tamas guṇa. Change the way of eating and put your alarm on for 4:30 in the morning. Whatever happens—even if you go to sleep at 3 o’clock—you get up at 4:30. And peacefully, you do your exercises. So you are taking time from no one, and you have a beautiful day.
