Be good

A spiritual discourse on the foundational principle of goodness.

"Every day, when you get up in the morning, tell yourself, 'I would like to be good.' To every creature—ant or elephant, flowers or mountains or rivers—be good."

"'Be good' also means being honest. Many things, everything is concentrated in that one word."

The speaker delivers a concise teaching, instructing listeners to begin each day with the intention to "be good" toward all beings and aspects of creation. He explains that this simple practice awakens inner qualities and leads to realization, framing yoga as the comprehensive science leading to God. He concludes with a blessing for health, harmony, and happiness.

Out of all this, I will tell you what you should do. Do one thing: every day, when you get up in the morning, tell yourself, "I would like to be good." Tell yourself, "Be good to everyone." To every creature—ant or elephant, flowers or mountains or rivers—be good. You know, this one word, "be good," can change the entire world. Simply say to yourself, "Be good." "Be good" also means being honest. Many things, everything is concentrated in that one word. So, when you get up, tell yourself, "Be good." Be good with your parents, friends, children, and so on. That will awaken the hidden qualities within you, and you will attain realization. Thus, yoga is the science of the body, the mind, consciousness, and God-realization. There is a God. There is a realization. There is a reality. So, I bless you in the name of all the holy incarnations of this globe with good health, long life, and a harmonious and happy life in your family, in your society, and in your country. God bless you. Adiós. Recording location: Czech Republic, Zlin, Summer seminar
