No matter what you're having or experiencing or achieving or what you own,

How clever,

How intelligent,

Everything physical requires spiritual energy.

We're all physical beings and we all use our energy in a physical way.

That is,

We use it to live our life and to use everything that's available in the physical world.

However,

It takes energy to live in the physical world.

Everything you do in the physical world requires your energy.

And just to get this as the bottom line,

No matter what you're having or experiencing or achieving or what you own,

How clever,

How intelligent,

Everything physical requires spiritual energy.

Which is why we practice meditation.

Because we reach a point and we wonder why are we disenchanted?

Why am I not so happy with all the things?

Why am I experiencing maybe illness,

Sadness,

Depression,

Irritation,

So many things?

You think,

Why?

I wasn't like this years ago.

Why?

Because you've been using your energy over and over for many years without renewing it.

And so our physical life exhausts us.

Because this is another rule,

You do not receive energy from the physical world.

You might think I've got a rise,

I've got more money,

I've got a better car,

I've got a good relationship.

I've got now got a big house,

So I'm receiving.

No,

It's your endeavors and other things that's giving you that.

It's your good fortune,

That's giving you that.

But everything you get that you think is a wow is requiring more and more of your essence,

Your spiritual energy.

I would like you to put your hand up if you understand that one point.

This is why almost against our conscious wish because we take our heels in and go,

I'm fine.

We return to try and understand who we are,

Our spirituality.

And that's why we focus on who we really are,

Living the physical life,

Having a good life or whatever kind of life.

Our friends,

Everything,

These are all important to us,

But we reach a stage where we cannot actually keep supporting to the same extent.

It's like,

Oh,

It's becoming a burden.

And it's not that everything out there is trying to be burdensome to us,

But we haven't the power to do what we did before.

This pulls us to find out answers.

And we say here we are,

Every human being on the planet,

Whether they're doing dreadful things or great things.

They're the energy in the centre of the forehead.

And that's the energy that gives them the power.

And no matter how great they've become,

At some point,

That energy will wear down quite a bit.

And then they've not quite got that position anymore.

Did they do anything wrong?

No,

They just ran out of power.

They ran out of strength.

So,

Raja Yoga says,

I am the soul,

The energy of life in the centre of my forehead.

And what is that energy of life?

It's the energy of peace.

Peace is our foundation.

You could call it silence.

The more I can have the habit,

If I could see how utterly important it is to the self,

I would want to take time out even two minutes,

Three minutes,

Five minutes,

Over and over during the day,

Just with your thoughts.

You can still be working at your computer.

You can still be on the phone.

But inside,

You're remembering your calmness and peacefulness whilst you're talking.

It's not something that you just actually have to go away and sit.

It's good when we do come together because we want to learn.

And so even while you're talking to someone,

You can be aware of your peaceful nature.

So,

I am the soul,

I am the embodiment of peace.

That's my natural nature.

And at one point we would have been full of that strength,

Full of that energy.

And therefore the world would have been a breeze,

Easy to be in because I had the power,

The charisma,

The power,

The strength,

The talents would be able to flow because I had the power.

And gradually,

Gradually I'm using it up by being in the physical world.

Is this making sense still?

And the physical world is taking my strength little by little by little by little.

So.

One factor is that we are all souls and irrespective of our supposedly different physical qualities,

Such as gender,

Age or race,

That doesn't have nothing to do with it actually.

A second factor is that we all share the same parent,

That is the highest energy,

The one who's a notion of silence,

A notion of peace,

Which is what we do in Raja Yoga meditation.

We cannot just pour our peace back into us because where is it now?

I've used it.

I've used it up.

So I need something that's,

I need something that's full of whatever I want.

If I want perfume,

I can't just go,

I'll just use some water,

Maybe,

No that's not perfume.

I would need some perfume to get perfume.

So I need the ocean of peace in order to get back my peace.

That's why we meditate on that highest power.

Someone said to us just yesterday,

You people don't believe in God.

Usually we don't touch on it too much because people don't want to always hear that,

But we advertise that,

Yeah,

That's what we teach.

And that's where all our power and energy comes from,

That's where all our understanding comes from,

Because the more you can go to that power of peace and remember your silence and stillness inside.

The more increment by increment your power will grow.

That's definite.

Your intelligence level will rise because you're becoming more clear.

Your energy will rise.

Your good qualities,

Love and happiness and kindness will all come up and come to the surface.

We didn't have the energy for that before because everything was a battle out there like,

Oh,

I don't know where to go next here.

Conflict,

Differences of opinion and everything.

We all share that same parent,

That ocean of silence and peace.

Because we're like that inside,

But we've used it out there.

And so whether we know it or not,

We all wish at some level to reconnect with that source of light,

Power and love.

And that is the purpose of meditation.

That's why we want to be calm,

Become still.

And with our own energy,

Up to a point,

We've tried to make ourselves,

But with our own energy,

We're not going so far because we haven't got that much energy.

So the purpose of meditation is to move our thoughts in that direction.

So when you sit for peace,

You have to think that you're connecting with a point of peace.

It's no big ask,

You know,

It's not a big human figure or big this or that or you'll get punished or whatever.

It's a point of peace that's full of peace that never comes to use their energy with physical methods.

So they stay completely full of the purest energy.

So it's like you found a gold mine in a way,

You found the purest energy.

Learn to reconnect with that energy.

Think about it.

And it will make sense because that's who you really are.

That is your true nature.

So it's not alien.

It's the truth for you.

You are a soul,

A point of light.

So we want to keep our thoughts in that direction so we can connect with and receive those beautiful qualities.

Why do we want to receive them that already exist deep inside ourselves?

So there was a point when we had them all up there,

Bright-eyed,

Bushy-tailed,

Really full of power.

But now we have lost a lot of that energy.

And why?

As we journeyed through life.

We rediscover our many inner powers of love,

Peace,

Purity,

Truth and happiness.

We were talking about this earlier,

Happiness and methods in order to become buoyant and happy in today's world.

Everyday life continues with its ups and its downs.

But when you are in touch with your inner powers,

So they will come back to you,

Your inner powers.

You remain calm and peaceful.

So that is the powers of light and power,

Strength and love.

Okay.
