known as atomic physicists are becoming saints nowadays. They are becoming seers because they are discovering spiritual roots within the matter and by understanding this we can change our lives. The more we reform ourselves, the more effectively we can influence the lives of others.
On the one hand, this is our responsibility yet, on the other hand, it is not our responsibility, which is a paradox. It is a peculiar thing, just like our world. It is not something to be understood, it is to be lived. Within each and every type of medicine, within each and every pill, there is a spiritual root. When we hold yoga classes it also becomes a microcosm, a part of the universe. The more broadminded we are the more we can transmit the knowledge and wisdom of yoga. We are the ones who can make this world hell or who can turn it into heaven.
If we practise yoga, if we preach yoga, we can make this world a paradise. It shall become heaven. In Hindi there is a saying, aag lage basti men, mast raho masti men, which means that even if the whole village is on fire, thou rejoice in ecstacy. This is how we are living today due to our ignorance and if we continue this way the lives of future generations will be ruined. We have an opportunity to change ourselves and then to reform the whole world. Are we going to do it? This is the question.
