Om śānti śānti... Seer Bhavatu. Seduction to the cosmic light, Lord of our hearts. Omniscient and omnipresent. In divine presence, very good evening, dear brothers and sisters. Mr. Khurana from the Embassy of India in Zagreb, other dignitaries who are sitting here, dear members of the media and organizers. It is my great privilege to be with you this evening. The Split Yoga in Daily Life organizers asked me what subject we should have this time for the lecture. I spent a few days on Pašman Island. I flew from Vienna to Split, then back to Vienna. So I decided to come again after two weeks here. What can be more joyful or beautiful in life than good health? You know, one of the first medical systems on this planet began from Satya Yuga, when the Āsurī Śakti and Devī Śakti began to churn the ocean. They were searching for nectar, which means they would like to be immortal, healthy, and young. But there is one eternal principle of the law: who is born will die; which was created will be destroyed. Who came will go. That is the eternal truth. But the second is that everlasting immortal that is thyself. No weapons can kill it, fire cannot burn it, no elements can destroy it, and death cannot take it away. That everlasting immortal, that final truth, is called Ātmā, the Supreme Self. This body is mortal. This mind is changeable. Emotion is changeable. All this memory, emotion, intellect—everything is temporarily given to us. And the soul is individual. The soul is not universal. As personal souls, we are sitting here as different persons. Every creature has a soul, but there is unity in diversity. Ātmā, the light of God, is equal in every creature. Suppose you take a cup of water and put it in the garden. You will see the moon in the sky reflected in the cup, only one moon. And you will see only in the cup one moon. Now we put 100 cups filled with water—different color, different form, different size, but filled with liquid. Again, we look in every cup: there is a moon in my cup, a moon in your cup, a moon in his cup. A hundred cups, a hundred moons, and all a hundred. We look up, there is only one moon. So, my beloved Gurudev, His Holiness Swami Madhavananji, he used to say, "One in all, all in one." Only that one consciousness in the entire planet, and all the planet's creatures are connected to it. But as a soul, there is a difference. Destiny, and that destiny is caused by our karma. Where there is action, there is reaction, and where there is reaction, there will be action. Each of us has a different destiny, and that destiny is your ID card. What you have done, what you will get. So it means the soul is also not immortal. When we become free from the karmas, then the soul will dissolve; everything is deleted. What remains with thyself, that light of God will merge into God. Water in water element, fire in fire element. So the reality, the truth is only one. Eko brahmad uttya nasti. One is the truth, that is Brahman. And where there are two, that is non-duality, non-reality. How does that self look, which cannot be destroyed? Jise śāstra kāṭe na agni jāḷave, bujhāve na pāni, na mṛtyu mīṭave. God Kṛṣṇa said in the Bhagavad Gītā, "No weapons can destroy him." That self is like a sky, like space. Suppose you take a gun and shoot at the sky, and then take a magnifying glass and look to see if there are any holes. Similarly, your divine self is like the sky. But since we are in this physical body, we are acting as an individual, and we have our dharma. If we do not fulfill our dharma, we get negative karma. If we fulfill our dharma, we get positive karma. Dharma means principle, not a religion. The principle of my eyes is to see. The principle of my ears is to hear. So, the Vedas said, "Dharma rakshita rakshita." If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you. It means, if you protect your eyes, they will protect you too. If you protect your ears, they will protect you. Similarly, the dharma of the seasons—winter, spring, summer, autumn—the dharma of the ocean, the dharma of the father, the dharma of the mother, the dharma of the children, the dharma of the husband to his wife, and the dharma of the wife towards her husband. Dharma rakshita: if you protect this dharma, then that dharma will protect you. Do not expect that you are all the time naughty and angry and destructive, but still your wife will love you. No, she will not, or your friends. Out of 8.4 million different creatures, one is a human. And a human got this intellect, very powerful, but that intellect needs right education. And in the heart of the humans, God put the seeds of mercy and compassion. The purpose of human life is to have self-realization, God-realization. Humans are created by the divine as protectors, not as distractors. And the aim of human life is to know, "Who am I?" I am not this body. I am not this blood, flesh, bones. I am not this emotion, intellect, mind. I am not this soul. But I am Ātmā. Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya, the great saint Śaṅkarācārya said: Who am I? From where did I come? What is the purpose of my coming here, and where will I go? We do not know. If you know this, you have enlightenment. Do you know your past life? Or do you know, last year in September, on this date, what you ate? Last month, on the same date, do you know what you did? Gone, memories deleted. But through practicing yoga meditations, you become trikāladarśī, the knower of three times: past, present, future. It does not matter what you think; reality is different. How much we will take care of our money, our house, our dear ones, and even this body. It will go. If your grandmother died yesterday, she was at home. You had a nice dinner with her, and at night she died. The body was carried away just before 23 hours. Grandmother disappeared. We cannot telephone her, we cannot send SMS. What a mystery of life. Yesterday she was sitting, having dinner with us, dear grandmother. Nowhere in the universe can we find her. Only we can cry. Only remains in memory. From where she came, perfect role she played as a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, wife. Just same way, we will go to, we do not know who will be the first. Do not think that, "I am old enough, I will go first." No, destiny knows. Therefore, human life is given to get self-realization. Therefore God Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna, "Arjuna, practice yoga." Why so? Kṛṣṇa is telling him that through this you will get self-realization. Arjuna asked the question, "My Lord, what will happen to me if I practice for 100 years, for example, but still, I did not get self-realization and I die. What will remain? What will happen with my practice?" Kṛṣṇa said, "This will go with you. You will have again a human life. You will have spiritual, loving parents, and from childhood, you will have spiritual, divine feelings. Your spiritual journey will begin from childhood. Again, you will meet the master who will lead you there." Today, I was reading while driving the car, one poster, a big poster, not my poster. In Zagreb, it was a big poster, black and white, black and orange or yellow. And there was written that one holy priest or guru giving blessing, and a disciple is standing on the knees with folded hands, and there was one sentence written. Master is God. What was written there? In Croatian language, "your master is God" means Jesus. So it was Jesus who was blessing his disciple. I said, "Very good." We come again there. We said, "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśwara." Guru is Brahmā. Guru is Viṣṇu, and Guru is Śiva. Guru Devo Maheśvara, he is the highest one. Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, he is the supreme one. Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ, I bow down to my master. No religious conflict. Now is the time, my dear, to unite. Our hearts, you believe in one God, I believe in another incarnation of God, he believes in someone, he believes another one, and she does not believe anything. It does not matter. We believe that we are human, and we believe there is one religion only: the humanity. And we believe that we are all creation of one God. All these troubles in the world. Ex-Yugoslavian experience, just some years ago, many of my disciples said, "Swāmījī, we spend the nights and days under the trees in the forest, in this century, the 21st century, where there is a time the humans are clever, capable, and having a lot of spirituality, such a thing." The question happens: what was the cause of that culture, religion, tradition? What does it mean? Human still does not understand the humans, and when human does not understand humans, then of course they do not understand animals. As they said, you will live long, that you will practice to achieve your self-realization. So, there they were churning the ocean. Instead of nectar, first the poison came, and so on. I will not tell the whole story. Finally, God Viṣṇu in the form of Dhanvantari came out of the ocean with the Amṛta Kalaśa in hand, and that Amṛta Kalaśa at that time was recognized as Āyurvedic medicine. So Āyurveda is as old as this, from the Satyuga, Dhanvantari's time. Now, why did I tell you all these stories? Because the first slogan is there, written, "That's all." Understand? You understand? I need not to translate. So, one philosopher in Europe said... Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. Sukh Nirogi Kaya means the first happiness is a healthy body. Nothing can make you happy. Happy are they who are healthy, can eat anything, sleep anywhere, and work anything. We do not know healthy. A person does not know what health is, but an ill person knows what health is. Thanks to God that we are healthy, that's it. Second was the yoga. So Āyurveda brought the message of healthy nourishment. You drink a good tea against blood pressure, you drink good tea against stomach pain. You eat some good olive oil; it is good for health. So whatever we take in is our life, healthy. So, nourishment and movement, every movement which has influence on our body, mind, and soul. Yoga exercises are known as psychosomatic movements. Influence is our entire physical being: our muscles, ligaments, joints, nerves, glands, circulation, and so on. In yoga, there are three levels of exercises. Dynamic movements for body warming. After body warming come the stretching postures. After the stretching come the postures. We call them āsanas. Now, yoga is as old as, I told you, like the universe. No religion is as old as yoga. So yoga is a science, and yoga is a science of this body. Āyurveda translates: āyur means life, it means the age. Not only this life. What is your Āyu? How old are you? And Veda means knowledge, so it means to extend your life existence as long as you wish through the Āyurveda. But of course, we must have proper herbs and proper combination. Unfortunately, 90% out of 100, 90%, we lost the knowledge, or 90%, we lost the knowledge. The snake has run away, but we see only the trap of the snake, unfortunately. But now I am very happy that the Indian government is again trying very hard to research and bring Āyurveda back. I asked the Indian government about Āyurveda 15-20 years ago. They said yes, but we have other medicine that will affect quickly and so on. But since the Western people adopted Āyurveda so much, Indian and the Indian government were thinking, "Oh, there must be something good because Westerners accept it." Yoga? I am teaching 40 years here. In the beginning when I came, when I was talking about yoga, people said, "What? Yoga? Must I sit on the needle bed?" Or should I hang myself upside down? A very nice joke, a real joke, not just a joke. It was in 1984, in a place called Makarska. Do you know where that can be? Which country? On the coast. I had a yoga seminar, and from some young men, his parents and grandparents were against that this boy is vegetarian. They think vegetarian means ill person, will die very quickly. But you know, the longest life is vegetarian living. The best memory is vegetarian. The best students in the school are vegetarian. And fewer numbers of cancer cases occur among vegetarians. And less breaking the bones are the vegetarians. Anyhow, they went to the doctor. The doctor should write something so that his son should go to the psychiatric doctor. A psychiatric doctor should find out what illness he has, why he is a vegetarian. It is a true story. A doctor wrote an article in a local newspaper against vegetarianism and yoga. And at the end, he wrote one sentence, and that is why vegetarians do not get children. That day was my birthday. So, my Yugoslavian friends, that time was Yugoslavia, and the owner of the hotel made a big birthday cake. And one of my organizers from Novi Sad said, "Is there eggs inside, in the cake? Eggs?" Yeah. Said, yes. And we are sorry, you cannot offer to Swamiji. He does not eat eggs. No fish, no meat, no eggs. Only milk. Yes, milk products, yeah. And the owner's wife, she came with a newspaper, "Look, today's article," the doctor said, "Vegetarians do not get children." And they told me that at that time there was no handy, no SMS, and no emails. I sent him a telegram. Dear doctor, I admire your knowledge that vegetarians do not get children. That is why India has overpopulation. So, how were people thinking? Now, you should know that every fifth person in the world is practicing yoga, and the billions of dollars business is making the Indian government, because people buy the yoga goods from there: yoga mats, yoga pots, these, that. Mr. Khurana used to tell our government that Swāmījī said this. Suddenly, my government woke up. Yoga is so good that all Westerners are practicing. So, my dear, why do you practice yoga? You study and you know that allopathic medicine has a lot of side effects. But I am not against this medicine. This medicine can save our life. If it is necessary, you should take the medicine. But prevention is far better than treatment. And your health is in your hands. It is your decision. It is your life. 24 hours we are working. I would suggest you take one and a half hours from 24 hours away for your health, for your happiness. That you will have a happy, healthy, and long-enjoying life, and that I wish you today. Second, the breath. Breath is not only the oxygen, but if you practice prāṇāyāma, breath technique, it calms down your nerves. We call nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma, purification of the nerves. The best thing you can do for your lungs. We do not know what healthy lungs are. Because, thanks to God, we have healthy lungs. But one who has a lung problem knows what the lungs are and what it means to breathe. These two nāḍīs, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, sympathetic and parasympathetic. They both influence very strongly our both hemispheres. As soon as you begin to breathe slowly and long, you have to develop the capacity that you have the nerves to breathe slowly. As soon as you begin this from the left nostril, your left hemisphere is free of tensions, and when you practice through the Piṅgalā, the Sun system, then your right hemisphere is relaxed. It has been researched so many times. Now the yogī is talking about Anulom Vilom Prāṇāyāma. Many of you know because you are yoga students here. Anulom Vilom means you inhale through the left nostril and exhale through the right nostril. Then you again inhale from the right, and you exhale with the left. That will harmonize and coordinate the work of both hemispheres. It will supply more oxygen to the brain, and students will have such good concentration and be very healthy. Try it in your yoga school, but I can tell you it is not easy. Breathe slowly for a few minutes. We are so nervous when I tell you to breathe slowly. These two fingers are placed at the center of the eyebrows at Ājñā Cakra. It has two functions. One is that it keeps your head straight and supports your head. It means your neck is relaxed. Second, it develops concentration at the center of the eyebrows. If you have high blood pressure, do it for 15 minutes and then measure your blood pressure. You will see it has dropped down. That is the first introduction of the prāṇāyāma. The first result of the prāṇāyāma is immediate. So, why should we not do it now? Would you like to do it? Yes. Who does not want to do it? Reserve. Tomorrow evening, this time, if you come here, nobody will tell you to do it. You have the chance; use it or lose it. Come on. Straight, always. When the body is straight, then the lungs are relaxed. Place two fingers at the center of the eyebrows, and with the thumb, slightly close your right nostril. Press the right nostril from the side and try to inhale from the stomach. It means first expand your abdomen maximum. And then, expand the lungs. Exhale slowly again with the left nostril first from the lungs, then from the stomach. So, close your eyes and ten times: deep inhale and slowly, long exhale. Do not miss your breath. Put your concentration on the breath. How the air is flowing in and how the air is coming out. While inhaling, you feel a little cool and fresh air through the left nostril, and while exhaling, you feel very pleasant warm air coming out through the left nostril. No movements. Do not play with your toys, toes. Relax. Listen to the breath sound. Inhalation and exhaling. Go ahead, concentrate and feel your breath. When ten times finished, then with your ring finger close your left nostril and ten times inhale and exhale with the right nostril. I see your mind is running away. Keep your mind on the breath process. Immediately, I can see when your thoughts are running away. I do not know why I can see, but I think it is only temporarily. Do not worry, I do not see always. Deep inhale and long exhale, and now, when you finish ten times, place your hand on the knee after ten times. Concentrate on your breath again. I know that I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. Concentrate on the breath in the stomach. During the time of the inhalation, the stomach or abdomen is expanding. During the time of the exhalation, it is contracting. Be relaxed, sit straight, and be one with thyself. Do not run away with your thoughts. And those who open their eyes and close them and open them, it means the restless one. Nothing new will happen, do not worry. Just close your eyes, and if something happens, I will tell you at the right time to open your eyes. So, enjoy your inner world. Relax. I know that I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. Very good. Now you can open your eyes. So, further, your yoga teacher will give you the exercises. There are many, many steps of breath. This is the best thing you can do for your physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. And after that, take time to meditate, to concentrate. Today, one journalist asked me the question, "Swamiji, what are you doing for your relaxing, to calm down? Yoga ended life. I am always relaxed." Maybe she was thinking I go for dance or some big water sport or something, so ever relaxed if you do exercise now, many... Different kinds of yoga you hear nowadays, but I tell you, there is only one yoga, and that is called yoga. Yoga is yoga. Now someone is teaching raja yoga in Split, so we will say the split yoga. Now split means separation, not union. Otherwise, they said Haṭha Yoga. In Hindi, "umag" means happiness. The third one will say "jagreb yoga," and in German, they call a gram "a gram." "A" means one, and "gram" is gram, one gram. Now people are confused, so yoga is only one, and the copyright of yoga has Lord Śiva, but there are different teachers, according to their experiences and research work, put those yoga exercises in a system, and that is why I call yoga a daily life system. So, in everyday life, practice yoga slowly but constantly, and you will be healthy. Happy and organic vegetarian life, you will enjoy your life always. You will have the relaxed muscles, happiness, and not feeling of guilt, no fear. Now we come to other exercises, okay? So we have some demonstrators today, so please welcome our demonstrators here, one this side, one this side, facing in the middle. Yes, very good. Not so close, you go a little more behind. Okay, no, no, they are too much. Girl, you go a little back side. Always, girls and boys should be separated. Not so far. There, flowers on. Put it, flower in directs other direction. Okay, thank you. Very good. You know why? That people can see me sit down, head in the middle, lie down on the back and relax. After coming home from your whole day's work, the best thing you can do is relax consciously. Say to yourself mentally, "Relax, relax, my friend, just relax. Let me be one with myself." This you... You should say what I am saying mentally to yourself: "The whole day has passed. I was working physically and mentally hard." Take a deep breath, inhale deep, and exhale. But now it is time to relax. Relax, my friend. You will say to yourself, "Relax, my friend. Just relax. Let me be one with myself." I am giving you a very valuable lesson. If we were to give such a nice seminar somewhere, it would cost a lot of dollars. But today it is gratis. So, learn, please. First, when you come home, wash yourself, or your hands and mouth and legs. Make fresh. And take some blanket, or no blanket, and lie down. Have some loose dress. This is automatic air conditioning. And now, so much pollution in the air. To wear a short-sleeved dress is not advisable. It can lead to skin cancer, the ozone problem. So no mini rock, long rock, long arms. If some man does not like me, do not look to me, that is all. Do not wear a dress that some man will like. Oh, little man, little problem. So relax. Now, second, withdraw your thoughts from the external world and say to yourself, "Relax. The whole day, past, working hard mentally, physically, but now is for myself." Next step: I know that I inhale and exhale, and with this, try to relax every limb of the body. Consciously relax the body: your right leg, left leg, right hand, left hand, shoulders, buttocks, back, bow muscles, stomach muscles, neck, face muscles, entire body, from toes to head and from the top of the head to the toes. Just fall down. Then, at the time of inhalation, imagine that cosmic energy is flowing into the body: life force, vitality, the prāṇa. And at the time of exhalation, all the toxins are going out of the body. Like a fog, light enters the body as energy, and like black clouds, it comes out. Out all the daytime, all problems, and all pollution that entered in your body. Five minutes, if you do long, then I am not responsible, because then you will do a different technique. It is a beautiful tool. So after a few minutes, move your fingers. Close the palm, open, close the fist, open the palm, and contract the toes and relax. Rotate your ankle joints, close your fist, and rotate your wrists. Move your head to the right, and move your head to the left. Move your shoulders up and down, and slowly inhale. Raise your hands up above the ground, and stretch. Whole body, toes towards the body, heels out, and knees on the ground. Do not make a breeze under your back; press your back down and stretch your body. And while exhaling, bring the hands parallel, body down. Inhale and stretch the hands above the head, on the ground, stretch the whole body. Tear it into parts, toes towards the body, yes, and feet together, yes, and exhale, relax. Beautiful. I am feeling to do with inhale. Generally, I am not so nice to mom, and now, normal breath, and roll your body to the left side and right side, left side and right side. Very good. And middle, hands parallel to body. Bend or turn a little bit to one side, left or right. Bend your knees a little bit, and with the help of your hands, sit up. Now you are ready. Before exercises, sit in Vajrāsana. Now we do one series of the exercise called Khatu Pranam. Khatu is the holy place where my Grandmaster lived. The holy heals. Pranam is salutation. So I dedicate this series of the composing of different āsanas and gave the name Khatu Pranam. And you can do it as a body warming, you can do it as a stretching, and you can do it as postures. You can do it to develop your energy centers, chakras, and you can do it to develop concentration. And the health depends on how you do it, where, when, how to concentrate. So, one, two, so the movement itself is introducing three, four, five. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. You see now, other knees in the front, so differently, we are influencing our side muscles and hips. Twelve, thirteen, this is 13, 14, 15. It will remove all the tiredness of the whole day which you had while sitting on the chair, working on the computer or doing different work. The leg muscles and ligaments are getting tensed. Now you see how nicely they are stretched. Heels should be on the ground. Now the muscles are stretched from the inside, from the nose. You will feel it is a tense stretching from here, goes through the head and neck, back muscles, and buttock muscles, thigh muscles, calf muscles, and the heels, ankle joints, beautiful feeling. It is also for the people who want to have good muscles, strong. Another one, 18, will be a little harder to develop your shoulder muscles. 18, 19, and 20. If you do it quicker, it is body warming. It is dynamic. If you do it slowly, stretching and staying longer, it is called postures. All the eight chakras—Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, if you know and you read the book—they all are balanced in the body. All these plexus and glands get back to their normal rhythm. And this posture, how they are sitting, Vajrāsana, after jogging, after long walking, if you sit, you will feel very relaxed and fresh. You see the people who are running through the forest or the beach, then they come to one tree or a wall, one hand pressing to the wall and with the second hand holds the foot and to stretch like this. Is it true? Because it removes the tiredness and releases the tension of the muscles. Or if you go to, or you have seen someone in the mosque praying, sitting in this posture, automatically the spine is straight. When the spine is straight, the stomach is relaxed. Lungs expanded, have enough oxygen. Shoulders are relaxed because the elbow is very relaxed. Neck muscles are relaxed. This develops the concentration. And when you bend forward, the prayer is similar, like satsaṅg. Kashen one and two, slowly. It circulates the blood more towards the brain and to the muscles, so it is good for the eyes, for the ears, and for the face muscles and everything. So, thank you. Come up. Then comes what is called half butterfly. Very nice. Today is the best exercise. If you want, we can do hand standing, head standing, but what will you gain from this? Nothing, really. Something, you can. Use at home, never force yourself. So now, to remove the tensions from the hip joints, pain, and these inner muscles of the thighs, and the back tension, and the neck tension, and stiff shoulders, so half butterfly. That is it. My God, they are so flexible, they are doing yoga in their life. They cannot show you, but can you imagine someone is so stiff and sitting like this, and you press more, then there is something breaking? Oh God, now it is good. So it should be so flexible that your knee touches the ground. And now, hold your toes. Oh, something, blessing, yes, but butterflies drinking the nectar and moving the wings. But they are practicing every day, and they are good yoga teachers. So come up to the other side. To become a Yoga in Daily Life teacher, it takes you a minimum of five years. It is not a ten-day seminar and you become a yoga teacher. Now, hold your toes, very good. Come up now. The full butterfly, please. Close the windows so they do not leave it open. Now, here you see, if they practiced or not? Hands on the knees, knees, yes. And now press the knees down, touch the ground. Mmm, that is, you know, I have not proper dress, but it should come to you like this. They are busy yoga teachers, you know, and now hold the toes. Now, butterfly sitting, moving the wings, and will drink the nectar from the blossom of the toes. Oh, but the toes, the heels do not move away. Touch your toes with your... Kiss your toes, but thighs are not moving. Knees should move, yes, that is it. It is not easy to drink the nectar, boys. Okay, slowly come up. Very simple, but you will feel so nice in your legs and back after some days. Thank you. Now, after that, it is for all of you, very simple but the best boat rolling, because you are living near the sea. So, hands near the knee, while going back, close the fist and belaying back side, and exhale. One, go ahead, please. Can you imagine what is happening with the back muscles, the shoulder muscles, the neck, beautiful. Forget head standing. Let us stand on the legs and other direction. Palms open, one going up and closing. Good for digestion, good for back muscles, good for the hamstrings. Good to remove the tiredness. Dynamical movements and stretching, both together, very good. Hands on the thighs, and now we do the posture, paścimottānāsana. One, two, knees straight. You may rest your forehead on the knees if you can. Paścim Uttān means, Paścim means the back. Back stretching, back muscle stretching posture. It is very, very nice, so do not hurry to practice. May only five or six postures, but take time. Two, three, and four. Lie down on your back. Likewise, yoga in daily life, the system, very simple exercises, even you will not get these exercises on the first day, after three weeks you will get them. The first day you may get a moving of the shoulder, the bumba muscles, but you will become the master step by step. You see, when a small child begins to learn writing, then they cannot properly hold the pen, the pencil. And when he writes "A," you know, like that. But after, when he is grown and going to school, he can write like this. Health. Nothing can be compared with health. Health cannot be bought with money or with anything. Health can only be gained through inner willpower. So, it is your life, it is your happiness, it is your health, and it costs you nothing. And you are always at home with your happy partner and children. And this exercise is like a cosmic dance. Someone said, "My body is the temple of my spirit or my soul," and we are happy in this body. So, good food, healthy food, good exercises, good society, and good thinking will develop spirituality in the body. Love to the whole world, and you will be that one ring to join the chain for world peace. So, inner peace for world peace.
