We have to maintain our wellbeing ourselves

Maintain your own well-being; outer help is merely a walking stick.

Whether healthy or unhealthy, stressed or depressed, only you can help yourself. External aid is supplemental, like a walking stick that cannot walk for you. When feeling exhausted, stressed, or anxious, meditate. Concentrate on the breath, through which cosmic energy enters and you radiate energy. Think you are surrounded by energy. Walk and feel yourself within energy and light. Repeat your mantra. Feel the divine presence. Relaxing your body and breath while imagining energy helps immediately. Food, people, and trees are all full of energy. This energy is from you.

"Everything is full of energy. And this energy is from you."

"May God bless you with all good things, and may all problems disappear with this year."

Filming location: Vép, Hungary

What more can I tell you? We have to maintain our own well-being. Whether you are healthy or unhealthy, whether you are stressed, depressed, or have psychic problems, whether you are easily exhausted and tired or not—in all these situations, only we ourselves can help us. The help we get from the outer world is just additional. It is only a walking stick. But if you cannot get up and you cannot walk, the walking stick will also not walk without you. So whenever you feel exhausted, whenever you feel full of stress, anxiety, tiredness, or any problems, you should meditate. Concentrate on the breath. With this breath, cosmic energy is coming into you, and you are radiating energy. Also, think that you are surrounded by energy. Go for a walk and feel yourself like you are in the energy, in the light. Repeat your mantra. Feel that Mahāprabhujī is always present. So when you relax your body, relax your breath, and imagine and feel the energy, that will help you very much. Immediately, you will be completely different. The food you eat is full of energy. The person you speak to is full of energy. The trees you see are full of energy. Everything is full of energy. And this energy is from you. That is a very little tip for you. Yes, many of us will not see each other before Christmas and the beginning of the New Year. So I wish you a very divine Christmas Eve and a very happy, healthy, and successful New Year. May God bless you with all good things, and may all problems disappear with this year. Some of you will come to the Kumbh Melā. Some of you will come the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, we will see each other next year, as the divine will or our destiny allows us. To all yoga teachers, many, many blessings and good wishes to your students. In the next meetings, you should bring them with all the best. All juniors can come for chocolate, and you sing bhajans.
