The fountain of joy is within you

A spiritual talk on holistic health and the science of yoga.

"Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. We need good health: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health."

"The science of yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. This science can be realized, awakened, and utilized through the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī."

The speaker presents a foundational discourse on spiritual science, emphasizing the necessity of holistic health for a meaningful life. He outlines a vision where individual well-being creates harmonious families and societies, and explains the yogic model of energy channels (nāḍīs), chakras, and the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī, which brings happiness, universal love, and knowledge. The talk concludes with a blessing for health, peace, and environmental stewardship.

Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. We need good health: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. We need a good society, good parents, good neighbors, good nourishment, good thoughts, a good partner, and we finally need that light of God which will liberate us. Therefore, whatever you are doing, do it in a positive way. Do not think that you have not done anything good. You have done many, many good things. I believe you have done much more good than bad, and what bad occurred happened unconsciously. And God will forgive us. So, whether you do yoga exercises or follow a different path, do it in a good way. That will unite us. It will make us a good human. A good human will have a good family, a good family will create a good society, and a good society will create a good world—a world of peace. In this way, this talk is what I call spiritual science. The first principle is to give freedom to everyone, not to terrify others. Support them; do not be an obstacle for them. Then a beautiful atmosphere appears. This is spiritual science. The science of yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. This science can be realized, awakened, and utilized through the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī. Chakras are those energy centers in our body. When the Kuṇḍalinī awakens, the first three symptoms appear. The first is called happiness. The second is universal love. And the third is knowledge. When universal love is there, happiness is there because knowledge is there. Where there is knowledge, there is no ignorance. Where there is light, there is no darkness. Where there is no light, there is darkness. So this knowledge is the light—the knowledge of oneness, not discrimination, not fighting. We have 72,000 nāḍīs in the body, the channels through which cosmic energy enters. Each channel is one chakra. When more channels come together, they form a very powerful center. That is like a generator. If that generator is activated, then energy will be produced. If it is not activated, energy will not be produced. That energy is dormant in the generator; it only needs to start. Likewise, there are eight major chakras in the body: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. Each chakra should be awakened. When they are awakened, you will see life become so easy, beautiful, and happy. You will realize the divinity within yourself. Then you will know: yes, I am immortal, I am bliss. The fountain of joy is within me. The ocean of bliss is within me. That immortality is within me. I know who I am and my duty. My obligation in this world is to give this joy to all. So, thank you, and I wish you all the best and God's blessing. I wish you very, very good health, harmony, peace, and love in your family life. And please think about what I told you. Take some steps towards the protection of our planet, for the environment, and for everything. God bless you.
