Be the channel between God and people

The greatest gift is sharing spiritual knowledge, for it preserves wisdom beyond one's own life. Yoga in Daily Life is a complete, global spiritual system, not merely physical practices. Teaching it channels spiritual energy drawn from our lineages, ultimately from Mahāprabhujī. When you impart this knowledge with conscious awareness and mantra, you become an instrument for that divine light and love to flow through you to others. Knowledge must be used and shared; if kept stagnant, it is forgotten, but when given freely, it is continually renewed.

"If you do not give your knowledge, this knowledge will disappear with your death."

"Like a water wheel: as much water you take out, always comes the new."

The most beautiful thing we can have in life is to help someone. To give knowledge further; if you do not give your knowledge, this knowledge will disappear with your death. This is especially true for a teacher of Yoga in Daily Life, which is something very exclusive. We are aware of our spiritual innates. Yoga in Daily Life is not only āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and these few things—relaxation, concentration, and meditation. It is a complete system, pūrṇa. It is the system which embraces the entire globe in every aspect, including spirituality. When you teach something spiritual, it means spiritual energy comes from you. But from where do you get this spiritual energy? From our spiritual lineages. Therefore, Holy Gurujī says in his bhajana, "The source of this spirituality and light is Mahāprabhujī." He is the giver, the greatest giver. So when you give this knowledge further, and with the consciousness or the awareness, putting it into the safe of that mantra, nāma karta, then it is Mahāprabhujī's presence in you, Devpurījī's presence in you. It means their light, their love. When you transfer this knowledge with the mantra "Nahamkarata," it is like Holy Franz from Assisi said, "Lord, make me an instrument of your love." What do we understand to be an instrument of His love? What means to serve Him? It means to spread or teach or help others through His name, through His wisdom. That is your love to Him, that His light and knowledge flows through you to others. That's why between others and God, you are that instrument which makes it possible. Knowledge is something like water. If water remains staying only in one place, it begins to smell. When knowledge is not used, then slowly, slowly it goes out of your memory. Like a water wheel: as much water you take out, always comes the new. Like a deep path: the more water we take out of it, the more fresh water comes up from below.
