Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva kī, Satguru Svāmīmādhavānandjī Gurudeva kī. Blessings to all of you. Indeed, it was a beautiful conference. A very detailed lecture series was described, which served as good motivation and inspiration for both teachers and practitioners. We heard, at least theoretically, what could happen to our body and what we can expect from practicing yoga in daily life. I am very thankful, and I bless those who are doing research work on human health and yoga, daily life and the environment, world peace, and spirituality. This session was "Human Health and Yoga in Daily Life"—covering physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. The next subjects in our conference will cover the other aspects: mental health, social health, and spiritual health. There will also be research work presented by people on the environment and world peace. We are living on this planet. This planet is our home—the whole planet. It is said the whole planet is a family of one God. There is only one God, but from time to time God manifests or incarnates in different places. Therefore, we have, or we should, respect all manifestations of God because it is the same God who is incarnating here or there. The person who does not understand God’s different aspects or incarnations does not understand at all what God is. That person who doesn’t accept or cannot grasp the different aspects of the divine is like a frog in a small pond. That frog thinks, "My world is the biggest world. This is all; this is everything." But if someone takes this frog and puts it into a big lake or ocean, the frog opens its eyes and says, "Oh my God, I thought my pond was everything, but this is bigger than my pond." The one who takes you from the small pond to the big ocean is the Gurudeva. He opens your eyes to the realization that what we understand God to be is much more than what we know. So, thanks to Sanātana Dharma in the world, and thanks to the yogīs—only yogīs have this realization of tolerance towards all God’s aspects or religions. Dank dem Prinzip von Sanātan Dharma und den Yogīs. Nur die Yogīs haben tatsächlich die größte. If yogic consciousness is awakened in everyone, there will be no fighting. The yogī doesn’t tell you, "Don’t believe this," and, "Don’t believe only that." That’s what we need: universal consciousness. This is very important. Yoga is the way to God, the real God—not to the border of the pond but to the endless. Yoga is the way to the Self. This is the teaching of the Master. Consider the teaching of Jesus. One day, Jesus was sitting with his disciples and told them, "Follow me, I am the way to the Father." This means the Master is telling the disciples to follow his teachings; these teachings will bring you to the Father, to God. We need the teachings and free thinking. The world is suffering. Day by day, terrible things happen. Many families are suffering; many men die in war; many children suffer; many women remain at home alone. You know that every country does not have a system of automatically getting a pension, like Austria. Can you imagine having a few children, your husband died in the war, and that woman remains alone at home with no profession and no work? We are very happy now—uns geht gut hier—but there are millions of people who are not happy. If it is said, "Love your neighbor, love your next one," then help all, including the animals. You know, there was a bird flu infection. How many millions of chickens were just burned and killed? Their whole life, they are put in a big bag and thrown into the fire. Can you imagine? It doesn’t matter if it is an animal or a human. All feel this fire; all feel if their leg is broken; they feel fear. So love your neighbor—not only humans, or not only husband and wife, or mother and father—but all people of the country. At present, in many countries of this world, women are suffering. They have children, no job, no income, and no land. And if the climate changes and there is no rain, those ladies and children need our help. Why does this happen? Because people say, "My God is the best God, my religion is the best religion, my culture is the best culture." This is the reason. We must, or we should, educate people spiritually, but not fanatically. We have to educate people to think openly and accept every aspect of God. This is why many people have a problem. They have a problem seeing Krishna beside Jesus, or they have a problem seeing the Buddha beside Krishna. This is the problem because people are educated with narrow thinking and say, "Only this God, only your father." This is the cause of all suffering. It is also the reason why many people have left religion, and why many people do not want their children to be educated religiously. Therefore, yogic teaching, yogic philosophy, yogic realization is wide—a horizon you never reach. The horizon is such that as near as you come, that far it goes. This is very important. Understand this picture I told you. That mother, how is she going to feed her children? She does, but how? So we shall pray for them, and we shall help them. You know, we are fighting to reduce kilos constantly. That’s the biggest problem. You are angry when you are mourning on the scale, looking at kilos. And there are some people who are fighting to gain a little weight. You have too much. You eat too much junk food. Eat a little methī; your kilos will become very equal. And put rose petals in your tea if you have a problem with aggression—with yourself or with others. There was a very nice lecture here about what you call the changes of the years for ladies: sweating, different problems, menstrual changes, climatic issues. It was very interesting. Who understands the woman? Very few men. If men understood women, it would be a happy family. But unfortunately, it is not understood enough. "Why is it not cooked? Why is it not cleaned? Why is it not ironed? Why is it missing? And why not shopping? Or shopping always?" So women know what they are suffering, but still they are strong. I admire them. This is what we heard through the lectures. Yesterday I told you about methī, and you should begin—I am sure you have begun already. Second, the rose petals. These are biological, organic, grown from Jadan. Keep them in your mouth instead of chewing gum. Make a one-week experiment, and you will see all your temperament, your aggression, everything will calm down. You will experience calmness and peace in your mind. Put it in your tea, put it in your salad, put it in your yogurt—many, many things. So my concern at present is spiritual education and free thinking. My concern is about those humans who lost their dear family members and who remained alone with a child or with children. Day by day we hear many tragedies happening in the world. And at the same time, there is the pollution problem. When the pollution reaches that point, no one can help. Then neither religion nor politics can help you. No one can help you. It will be like an earthquake—the end. You can’t drink anything; you can’t eat anything. Whatever you touch will kill you. We hope that time will not come. Yoga is that wisdom, those divine thoughts, those divine teachings of the great saints. We cannot be thankful enough to them. Therefore, we are to be free-thinking. Free yourself from the prison of narrow thinking. Do not accept only this God; accept all divine aspects. Open your heart. Otherwise, you are the one who will remain stuck somewhere. That’s it. Spirituality is different from what we were taught, because that teaching was the selfish thinking of some people: "How many sheep are in my yard? How big is my territory, my country?" And we are still fighting for that. So let us give hands to everyone. Let Yoga in Daily Life come door to door and shore to shore. Let us work more scientifically, do some research work, and we will have more nice conferences like this. It was very interesting, what we can do for our health with very simple exercises. But do not think that Yoga in Daily Life is only moving the head left and up, or making your stomach like a hole or a bowl. We have different kinds of exercises in Yoga in Daily Life, beginning with the simplest and ending with the most advanced. These are called āsanas. When you can do these, then you have finished the whole course. Otherwise, you can decide for yourself where you are.
