The oneness of prāṇa is realized through inner purification. Different bodies share the same vital life force. This five-day gathering cultivates peace and harmony through practice and community. The quality of the environment and food supports deeper meditation. Spiritual qualities are nurtured from childhood through family, community, and education, influenced by past lives. In a gathering, one should expand awareness from within rather than seeking external position. True seeing comes from inner vision. Meditation unites all in oneness through the body and breath, guided by mantra. "Feel in oneness. One, as our Gurudeva said, our holy Gurūjī, one in all and all in one." "All is yours. And we have our beautiful skin. The same skin that covers your ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner scripture is the human body, a complete book of profound knowledge to be read daily. Sit in meditation and direct concentration inward. Offer prayers for universal peace to all beings and revered teachers. Chant sacred mantras with devotion. The world faces difficulties, yet many pray according to their understanding. Cultivate essential qualities: humility, kindness, and the absence of anger and pride. Do not look outward; the natural world provides abundantly. External holy scriptures are valuable but surface-level. The primary scripture is one's own body, containing the five sheaths from the physical to the blissful. This inner knowledge is immense and personal, cultivated like a field through daily practice. True knowledge, or vidyā, is paramount. Within the body lie hidden powers: the kuṇḍalinī and the chakras. The divine principles of creation, preservation, and dissolution are represented. True completeness integrates masculine and feminine aspects. Without inward study, one remains incomplete. This knowledge must be awakened and studied repeatedly, with focus, not confusion. Education fortifies the mind against negativity. In practice, remain humble and united, seeing the oneness in all professions. Concentration is essential for attainment. Remove poisonous desires and ego to approach the divine. Spiritual power is necessary; without it, one is lost. Seek the company of the wise to drink the nectar of knowledge. Do not waste this human life. A guide is necessary for liberation, from worldly skills to the highest cosmic self. "Read your holy book. And in your book, immense, immense knowledge." "Without concentration, you will not get it."

The coronavirus pandemic reveals the fragility of life and the critical importance of prevention. The virus attacks the lungs, severely reducing healthy tissue and causing patients to suffocate from lack of oxygen. There is no causal treatment or vaccine, making hygienic precautions and distancing essential. The most severe cases require intensive care and artificial ventilation. The situation has overwhelmed hospitals globally, forcing adaptations in care and postponing other medical procedures. Prevention through mindful behavior is the best defense against this severe and unpredictable disease. "Many people say that it’s something like the flu. But the difference is that for flu, we have a treatment." "I saw the lungs of a patient who suffered from coronavirus. And he had just a 2 to 1 cm area of healthy lung tissue."

Purification requires removing two kinds of accumulating dust: physical and the subtle dust of negative thoughts, words, and backbiting from many lives. This inner impurity, like physical dust, collects slowly and can manifest as disease. Prayer and mantra are the means for cleansing. The practice begins with writing the mantra, then mentally repeating it, then internalizing it until it flows automatically. This consistent practice displaces gossip and negativity, which are poisons to the spirit. One must dedicate real time to this inner work, not merely occasional ritual. If you have received a mantra from a teacher, you must faithfully practice that path without mixing or neglect. "Therefore, we pray, we ask Gurudeva: please purify me from the body to our consciousness." "There are two kinds of dust. One is physical dust, like this. The other is like our feelings, our words."

The sacred time of Sandhyā is a period for prayer and inner harmony. As day meets night, all creatures return to their rest and, in their own way, turn toward the divine. This is not a time for negative thoughts or conflict. One should awaken before sunrise in Brahmamuhūrta, acknowledging one's humanity with gratitude. Being human means choosing goodness, honoring parents, and remembering the divine. The earth is a moving globe, sustained by natural laws like gravity. Practice prāṇāyāma beginning with the left nostril for purification. This world is like a dream, yet one must live consciously within it, seeking liberation through truth. "Therefore, in this Sandhyā time, one should not harbor negative thoughts, speak negatively, give bad thoughts to anyone, or fight." "In this māyā, why are you in māyā? You got into the world, but this world is not anyway. It is a dream." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

These are treasures for health, brought from India. Bābūl supports the immune system and digestion, increasing white blood cells. It helps with stomach irritation, diarrhea, eczema, and women's hormonal health. Boil a few pieces for tea and eat the remainder. Saṅgrī is a dried vegetable rich in fiber, minerals, and saponins, which help remove harmful substances. Soak it before cooking and use ample spices. Combining these brings in the good and removes the bad. Holy water was also mentioned. These are available for use, not for storage. "Bābūl helps to increase white blood cells and improves our digestion, which is the foundation for good health." "Saṅgrī contains a lot of fiber and many minerals, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium. It also contains many saponins, which are helpful for getting rid of harmful things from the body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion is a singular reality, expressed through many names and forms. The genuine saint or deity does not demand exclusive worship, for the divine essence is one. All human distinctions of country, color, or language are ultimately irrelevant. We gather to sing and remember this unity, honoring the lineage of teachers who point toward it. Each moment of life is profoundly precious, like a bullet fired that cannot be recalled. Our vital energy, or prāṇa, is the very force of life and feeling within the body. To concentrate on this prāṇa is to connect with the divine source. The spiritual journey requires great purity, akin to walking a sharp edge. Our inner negativity can cause regression, while cultivating oneness leads toward merging with the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. All external religious forms are like different names for the same water; the essence is one. "Because the real one is in oneness. If any God were to say, 'Do not worship this other God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good for following such a command." "Your heart should be my heart. Your mind should be my mind. Feelings must be my feelings, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The current pandemic reflects a shift in the Kali Yuga, serving as a consequence for human actions while highlighting the protection found in spiritual practice. This situation arose globally, uniquely affecting humanity, which may be linked to the widespread torture of animals. Those maintaining a sattvic lifestyle through vegetarianism, yoga, and meditation have remained largely unaffected. Spiritual gatherings create protective vibrations, safeguarding even those nearby. The era contains isolated realms of higher consciousness, akin to Satya Yuga, within the prevailing age. Various yoga paths exist, each valid and beautiful in their diversity, like different trees in a forest. True spiritual progress requires respecting all traditions while remaining steadfast in one's own guru lineage. The guru's light dispels all darkness for the sincere disciple. Our practice is structured in foundational stages, from nurturing children to advanced spiritual discipline, aligning with the development of the human sheaths. "Perhaps they prayed to God, 'God, why are you allowing this torture? Please, let humans suffer something in this Kali Yuga.' And it has come." "On the day you have fully accepted your guru, you become light. You can go anywhere there is darkness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Earth is a living being, and all life possesses inherent wisdom and connection. Humans are not the sole intelligent beings; animals and insects demonstrate profound knowledge and care for their communities. Trees and forests hold vital energy that sustains all life. Modern human actions, like deforestation and chemical use, inflict a cancerous sickness upon the Earth, disrupting this natural harmony. True living requires respecting this interconnected web, not exploiting it. Practice involves simple, direct connection with nature and consistent spiritual discipline. Techniques like yoga and mantra purify the mind and must be continued throughout life, as there is no retirement from spiritual practice. Live gently upon this Earth, which is our universal mother and father. "Every living being knows somehow how to live." "Don’t think that only we are in this world as living beings. Others are only for eating. No, it is not." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The holy rivers Gaṅgā and Alaknandā provide a path for purification. The Ālagpurījī Siddhapīṭha tradition originates from Śiva in the Satya Yuga. The Alaknandā River flows from this tradition. It meets the Bhāgīrathī River at Dev Prayāg, forming the complete Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā is the sister of Pārvatī. The gods asked Gaṅgā to return to earth to prevent destruction. Śiva allowed Gaṅgā to land upon his head in the Himalayas. The river's descent enabled worship and ceremony. Another story tells of the disciple Gaṅgā, who consolidated waters to form the Bhāgīrathī River under Ṛṣi Bhagīratha. The Alaknandā River is connected to Nanda Devī, a disciple of Ālag Purījī. She offered herself to a tiger to protect cows, requesting a temple and union with her Gurudev. Bathing in these rivers cleanses negative thoughts and impurities. The purifying power exists even if the rivers become polluted by villages. True purification requires moving beyond worldly desires to the desire for God. The duty is to be kind and help others. "Śiva said, 'Gaṅgā, you land on my head.'" "Bathing in that river cleanses all negative thinking and impurities." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma yoga is the path of selfless service, the essence of spiritual practice. We gather in nature for sādhana, observing the world's beauty and ceremonies. The groups include those dedicated to seva, the karma yogīs. This practice is found in all religions, like nuns serving the poor, for God resides in everyone. Service is not only grand donations; it is the simple, mindful act of helping. Even in traffic, allowing another driver to pass is seva. Helping an elder with a bag or moving a creature from danger is seva. But one must serve with wisdom, understanding the true need. Action performed skillfully and selflessly is the foundation of yoga. All prayers and meditations are secondary to this. You always have time for seva in thought, word, and deed. "Who can serve the poor people, the needy people? There is maybe God inside." "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Yoga will be successful through the sādhanā, the karma sādhanā."

Divine reality encompasses both male and female principles, requiring balance in worship and practice. Begin each day with prayer and remembrance of the divine, seeking blessings for all actions to be offered as worship. This devotion sustains happiness and energy. Worldly pursuits and identities are transient, as recent global hardships reveal. Do not cling to status or education; all return to the earth. Engage in necessary work with humility. Spiritual practice maintains health and connection. In difficulty, rely on prayer, mantra, and faith in the divine within. God provides for all beings. Maintain devotion to both earthly and spiritual parents, honoring them as divine reflections. Family harmony is essential. Suffering is a test that draws one closer to the divine, as shown in the lives of great saints. Persist in sādhanā with humility and kindness. "Prayer first, that my Lord give me that energy, give me your blessings, that whatever action I will be taking, it should be pūjā." "God gives you everything. No one will sleep hungry, from the elephant to the ant."

The moon is a symbol of Śiva and the balance of energies within. It resides on Śiva's head, signifying its importance. In marital ceremonies, a moon-like crown symbolizes union. The left side represents the female principle, Śakti or Pārvatī, associated with the heart and mercy. Energy channels, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, move like a serpent, balancing male and female energies throughout the chakras. This serpentine energy, the kuṇḍalinī, supports the earth and is linked to cosmic forces like Śeṣanāga. Awakening this energy leads to spiritual knowledge beyond academic learning. True spiritual attainment, demonstrated by faith, surpasses scholarly knowledge. The resonance of OM originates from the navel, and its correct chanting involves a still tongue and navel, creating resonance throughout the body. "The left is female, and the right is the male." "For those who are on the spiritual path... that is the different science." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is a day of honoring the sacred bond between brothers and sisters, observed on this full moon. Many festivals exist to unite people in joy and tradition. A story tells of a wise woman who, by tying a protective thread on a king's wrist, established him as her brother, thus creating this celebration. This thread signifies a pure familial bond, transforming relationships into that of siblings, beyond marital consideration. Such traditions maintain peace and respect within communities. Our well-being is also deeply connected to living in harmony with natural cycles. Consuming foods in their proper season, as provided by nature, is essential for health, unlike modern habits which lead to illness. Physical movement through yoga āsanas is the foundation of health, preparing the body for the vital practice of prāṇāyāma. This breath work balances the subtle energy channels, known as nāḍīs, and is central to the holistic path of Yoga in Daily Life. The practice must be gentle and gradual, following a structured system to avoid harm and cultivate lasting well-being. "At that time, women and girls were worshipped more. Now it is not so here, but this festival, this day, remains." "One should not overdo. Therefore, the practice should be peaceful. In our 'Yoga in Daily Life' book, everything is written from beginning to end." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human form is a divine sculpture emerging from formless space. We originate from that clear, empty expanse. From space comes light, then air, then water, then solid earth. These five elements constitute the physical body. An inner engineer shapes this form within the mother's womb, assembling bones and nerves. The life within is the ātmā, the eternal essence. This body is a temporary altar. The elements are indestructible; they return to their source. The individual consciousness, the jīvā, persists like space, yet gathers impressions. A true yogī understands this creation and is that conscious energy itself. Spiritual practice is essential. One must prepare the body through sustained discipline to sit in alert meditation. All creatures possess innate knowledge for life. Humans must use their understanding to progress on the path. "From there comes the fire. It means the light. And from there comes the air, breath: inhale, exhale." "Life, it is a life. Now, these five elements, they are not destroyed. Nothing is not destroyed at all."

Heaven and hell are within the human being, not in external realms. This understanding is our current theme. The global situation has prompted reflection. A purification is occurring, particularly affecting those with certain lifestyles. Those maintaining vegetarian or pure diets have shown resilience. This period has forced introspection, with many experiencing depression due to isolation and economic loss. Yet, it has also reunited families and revived cultural and spiritual exploration. The human experience contains both joy and fear, unlike animals who operate on a simpler plane of existence. Our inner state dictates our reality. Practice is essential. Cultivate inner joy and maintain daily spiritual discipline, such as yoga and mindful living. Protect your inner purity, for negative thoughts can spoil everything, while positive destiny, or kismat, resides within and cannot be stolen.

Svarga and Naraka exist within the body, shaped by thoughts and karma. Thoughts and actions create immediate experiences of heaven or hell. Goodwill and happiness for all beings bring inner Svarga. Suffering, greed, and cruelty produce inner Naraka. Even animals undergo karmic joy or torment according to past deeds. Karma manifests as physical agony at life’s end or sudden release. A realized being transcends bodily pain. A true bhakta remains untouched by external loss. The external world mirrors internal duality. Heaven and hell are present here and now. Right love and good karma are essential. Duality persists with body-identification. The yogi rises above this duality. Brahmaloka knows neither pain nor joy. That state is like the boundless sky. Realization dissolves the distinction between heaven and hell. Everything rests in divine hands. “In a single moment one can be in Naraka, and in another moment one can be in Svarga. True bhaktas feel happiness and goodwill for all beings, living in heaven.” “The yogī goes above Svarga and Naraka and attains Brahmaloka. In Brahman, there is neither pain nor joy.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True spirituality transcends worldly identities and formal knowledge, arising from inner wisdom and humble connection. Our essence is not found in surface roles like politician or religionist, but within. Spiritual persons are humble and kind, never proclaiming their own greatness. Formal education is a limited, different path. True knowledge, vidyā, emerges from within, not from books. A saint without schooling knew sacred texts by heart, his wisdom flowing from inner realization. Spiritual relationships are like rivers merging into one ocean. We must balance mind and heart, practicing inner discipline. Modern life separates families, but human connection is paramount, especially at life's end. A mother's final wish is for her child to be present, as she was at their birth. This bond is our true foundation. "Spirituality is there when there is a balance between the mind and the heart." "My son, I don’t need anything from you... when I will pass away, you should be with me." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is breath, and breath is life. The span of life is preordained and cannot be ultimately prolonged. Physical yoga and breath techniques maintain comfort and health for the body within its allotted time. A story illustrates this: a rishi sought to delay his end by claiming endless study. He was shown that the knowledge of the universe is as vast as the Himalayas, and trying to comprehend it all grain by grain is futile. The appointed time arrives for all. Beyond physical practices lie deeper yogic paths concerning the five elements within us. These practices prepare one for the journey of the soul, which transcends the temporary body.

The yoga of alertness involves Yoga Nidrā and spiritual awareness. The body is a flight; the heart is the engine. Sleep allows inner repair and cleaning. Restlessness in sleep arises from unresolved problems. Yoga Nidrā cleanses and relaxes through controlled instruction. The teacher must not close eyes during class. Alertness extends to observing all surroundings. Teachers who close eyes are lazy and disconnected. Guiding students into a unified rhythm is essential. Confidence must be given to all practitioners. The five koshas require control for spiritual progress. Study of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is necessary. Alertness prevents accidents in driving and swimming. Water is deadly without proper awareness. Spiritual lineage from Mahāprabhujī provides this knowledge. Discipline shields practitioners when infused with awareness. Inner joy arises from controlled Yoga Nidrā. "The teacher should hold class, not closing their eyes and not looking at their students." "Jagrata, awaken. Jagrata is many different kinds of Jagrata." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A mantra is the mind's tool for liberation. The restless mind cannot be controlled by force, like a football in a game you cannot hold. The essence is to transcend the mind and its desires. A poem states: "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." Desires are illusions, like a mirage of water on a road that retreats as you approach. Hope and thirst bind you. True knowledge sees the reflection for what it is. The path requires purifying the elements and letting go of desire. "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." "Hope and thirst have not died, says Dāsa Kabīr." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A global crisis has forced introspection, revealing our fragility and the superficiality of modern pursuits. Many sought distraction, but in India, cultural broadcasts reawakened spiritual knowledge. This period serves as a divine lesson to slow down and seek inner truth. The current proliferation of hastily certified yoga teachers reflects a profound misunderstanding of the path. True discipleship requires decades of humility, not a certificate claiming mastery. Spiritual attainment is not a diploma received in life. Liberation is decided at the final moment, beyond simplistic judgments of good and bad karma. The ego that proclaims itself a guru is an imitation, like a trained monkey. The real Guru is the supreme reality itself. Seek that within. "God said, 'Relax.'" "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Maintaining a joyful heart is essential, especially during challenging times. The current global depression stems from a collective error. This situation arose because humanity alone was affected, prompting reflection. Many have turned inward, discovering family and abandoning harmful habits. Depression has become widespread, closing hearts and mouths. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life offers a path forward, emphasizing openness and relaxation. Laughter is a powerful tool to reopen the heart. True beauty and wellness are found within, not through external adornment. The physical body, while important, is just one layer of our being. "People have turned very much inward. They understood what family is." "Beauty is your heart, beauty is your words, beauty is your behaviors." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The oneness of grace flows through the lineage and connects all beings. Blessings are received by chanting the names of the gurus, who provide energy and goodness for all life. The guru's presence is everywhere, regardless of distance. Invisible forces, like prāṇa or a virus, spread powerfully and unseen. Similarly, a nation's leaders work in oneness to protect and connect their country and all others, just as great saints give energy to everyone. This reflects global unity, where countries support each other. True spiritual teachers serve all without distinction, fostering unity over separation. The practice done here purifies the five sheaths. The awakened awareness gained acts as a protective vaccination. When a true guru accepts a disciple, that grace works ceaselessly, even if the disciple falters and descends through lower births, until liberation is ultimately granted. "Where is all this vegetation? They take care of and give love to all creatures in the water, in the ocean." "If there is a real spiritual swāmī, or you should call the guru, they call the guru. But in reality, they are not the guru. They do not protect everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Celebrating the Divine Presence: Bhajans, Dance, and the Satguru’s Grace. A bhajan declares every blossom and soul is happy where the Satguru comes. The glory of that Master is beyond description. The Satguru can turn a worm into a bee for those with the prize. Body, mind, and soul are offered to the Guru. The Guru showers nectar of knowledge and wisdom, like heavy clouds that satisfy completely. The Guru is the philosopher’s stone, changing iron to gold with the words So’ham. Through endless lives, suffering is experienced, but the Guru liberates and completes the destiny. The Guru protects from death and saves the soul to infinity. Everything becomes bliss, and there is no return to the circle of birth and death. A dance is performed, worshipping Lord Gaṇeśa, remover of obstacles. The dance worships Lord Śiva in the Liṅgam, the light of millions of suns, liberating from birth and death. The divine Mother, supreme power, is worshipped; her compassion fulfills devotees’ wishes. The dance of Mīrā, who drinks poison with a smile, calls on the mountain-lifting Lord. This spiritual dance is a science, a part of the Vedas, destroying negativity. It is taught to all who feel it in the heart. “Every bud of my body is filled with happiness.” “My Guru Dev is that Paras which changes a piece of iron into gold with the words of So’ham.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The immense power of a single drop is the principle of concentrated potency. One drop of rain awakens dormant life in the earth. Similarly, a single drop of medicine can save a life. This same principle applies to spiritual practice. The subtle drip of a mantra or the sacred syllable OM holds the power to awaken consciousness. This is the science of yoga and Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, a practice of mental purification through precise techniques like prāṇāyāma. These methods channel powerful prāṇic energies. True power resides in the root, not the quantity. In nature, the greatest power is in the roots of a plant, which draw nourishment from the earth. Our own roots are in our prāṇic body and lineage. Āyurveda and homeopathy understand this principle of quality over quantity, using minute, potent substances. Collective practice in satsaṅga provides essential support, just as certain trees thrive only in community. Sacred nourishment, like properly prepared ghee from a lovingly raised cow, carries immense prāṇic strength, especially for mothers after childbirth. Modern interference, like genetically modifying seeds, disrupts natural cycles. Consistent, moderate sādhanā is the key, not sporadic intensity. "One drop from the sky—every drop is powerful." "In the roots is so much power."

The sacred month of Śrāvaṇa holds wisdom connecting tradition, nature, and life. Trees like the banyan and pīpal are revered, seen as personifications of the divine and providers of continuous oxygen. Unmarried daughters perform rituals, offering water and tying threads to the pīpal tree with hopes for a blessed marriage. Life decisions, especially marriage, must transcend mere emotion or beauty. Lasting union requires alignment through Jyotiṣa, the celestial science, to avoid future suffering for couples and their children. Authentic Jyotiṣa must come from a genuine Brāhmaṇa lineage, not those who commercialize it. Spiritual practice begins with perfecting mantra pronunciation, progressing from speech to writing to silent mental repetition, ultimately becoming automatic. This integration of outer discipline and inner alignment is the true path. "Do not marry because of love. Do not make it only an emotion." "The one who says, 'No, I do not need anything. I will do this.' ... Only that one can do the jyotiṣa who is of this caste of the jyotiṣa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Aum moves through the chakras with prāṇa. Chanting extends beyond three repetitions. The numeral system uses nine digits and the essential zero, invented in India. The sound for the number nine often relates to 'N' across languages. The Earth is a globe, first lifted from the ocean by the Varāha avatāra. Destiny is pre-written by Vidhātā, a divine power, for every being at birth. This script is immutable; life events, including survival, follow its decree. Ancient scriptures, primarily in India, contain this knowledge. An extended story illustrates that even the powerful Rāvaṇa could not alter the destined marriage for his daughter. Therefore, one should not worry excessively. Perform your sādhanā and duties. Destiny ultimately rests with God and may be transcended through yoga practice over time. "Destiny is yours, mine, anyone's—your dog, your cow... What is in the destiny is already written therein." "What she writes, no one can change. Yes, no one can run from it."

Culture is the cradle of humanity. A traveler once wept, missing the sound of a European clock, a symbol of the tradition that keeps people. Culture preserves humanity. Many traditions exist from Christmas to Christmas. In some lands, churches are sold for a single dollar because the tradition is lost. Yet, this land and its culture belong to you, not to others. Discipleship has flourished here across generations, a living tradition. A soldier, freezing on a Christmas during the war, whispered, "Where is my home?" That love for home is needed again. People may leave, but they often miss their home, their bread, their simple happiness. We must not be blocked by fear or sadness; we must choose happiness. Touch the trees, your grandfathers, who give shelter and life. This connection is yoga in daily life—happiness, joy, love, peace, harmony, oneness. We are all one. "The culture keeps the people. The culture keeps humanity, so still, thanks to God." "Touch this tree. It is the holiest of the holy, and we are also like this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Guidance for a spiritual retreat focuses on discipline, health, and awareness. Eat moderately to avoid lethargy and support meditation. Maintain silence primarily, speaking only for essential needs. Respect your food and the process of eating. After meals, take a walk or rest briefly for balance. Be responsible for your own plate and utensils; clean and keep them to minimize waste and plastic harm. Respect all who perform service. Walk slowly and maintain distance as needed. Yet also be free to talk and connect with others. Practice laughter to open the heart and counteract depression. Engage fully with prāṇa and the certainty that energy and work will return. "Try in these days to eat a little less." "This time, I give you the freedom. Talk. Speak."
