What is being taught? The value of each breath is being taught. The value of this existence is being taught. When I feel that true Gratitude, it evokes me, not a society, not an idea or concepts. When I say all this, it is not meant to be just words, it has to be real for you. Thats when it matters. So many of you have come here, and it's been a while since you have been to a live event. It wonderful to be here, to see each other eye to eye and say "It's not a TV". Because you are alive, be alive!
Lady: I just would like to thank you for everything you have done in my life. But mostly today I would like to thank you for the human effort. Your presence, attention, commitment makes this happen. To me it was so special!
Another: I just wanted to tell you how absolutely beautiful my life has been and continues to be, since I first heard you and received knowledge 25 years back. I just feel so proud when I see your press release, what you have done around the world, whether speaking at Italian Parliament, or what you have done for the Tsunami.
Maharaji: Thank you very much, but I dint do anything for the Tsunami. What can I do with Tsunami, Tsunami is already over. But I did something for the victims of the Tsunami! TPRF is doing some Good stuff and trying to take care of people who need the help. Clean water and food are very very important. The greatest gift you can give anyone is the gift of joy. The Gift of peace is the greatest gift you can given anybody- Hungry or not hungry, believe me. Peace Rules!

The reality, the beauty, the joy, the true peace. Not an absence of something, but the very presence of something. Not an abstract concept. No, you have the last word. You have to feel that feeling in your life. Look at this existence, look at this little thing happening, it is amazing, it is unique. You know there is no one like you on the face of this whole world, not even if you have a twin. Slightly different. There is no one like you and there will be no one like you after you go. This is your time to make that understanding happen. To begin to understand.
And here is the concrete thing, to start to realize that all that you ever want, you have. Begin by understanding it and every day remembering, what is important to you, as a human being. That you were born and you are alive and thats it, you are alive. That is a blessing unparalleled. And I just wanted to come and remind you of that. Because in times of trouble we forget and what do we forget, we forget the most important thing. And thats what gets the center of trouble. You know this. Everything what I have said you know. And not only you need to know, but now is the time to understand that. You know peace is beautiful but now the time has come to actually feel that peace in your life.
And nobody is too young and nobody is too old. Never, because this is the matter of life. One life, one existence, one incredible gift, this existence that you have been given.

The peace that I'm talking about, is the inate peace that lies in the heart of every single human being. So people say, "How come I don't feel it, see it, don't know about it?" Ah, the cleaning! There are too many things between the purity of human being and everything else. The process of peace is to take away all that exist between human beings. Not add things, but to take away. And it is very easy. You see, it is very easy to gain weight, but lose weight. Very easy to lose money, very hard to gain it. Not everything has the same rule.
I say to the world, Don't be fooled by the glitter, by the progress what we think is. Because the mantra of people today is only one- What can I do! Light a lamp of hope in yourself. One of the things that is wonderful about the laughter, about the happiness and peace indeed, is that it is contagious. Spread this contagious feeling of peace!
I heard what the prisoners in Zonderwaters had to say to me- the comments. One of the comments that has stuck in my head- One inmate said, "I've been in prison for quite a while and I've never felt happy being in prison. But today, I did! I feel so full." When he said that, just one person. But when he said that, somehow it my 3 month tour worth it. Because a human being felt happiness that day. Peace is a necessity my friend, not a luxury. Maybe the time has come to start looking at this world in a new way. And it begins with all of us. One step at a time.
Thank you very much, and I hope the peace that is inside of you, illuminates.

And one of the most beautiful opportunities is the possibility of a master in one’s life to help that. Teach me, so that not you, but I, can stay away from ignorance. Grant me the gift so I may be awakened to that most beautiful possibility of understanding and accepting my own existence. Give me the gift, give me the courage to accept this magic in my life. Every day, every waking moment I have to prepare myself, I have to remind myself to look in that direction, to gaze upon that beauty that lies within me, I have to honour it. I have to be there to welcome it. I have to be there to embrace it and if that can be the focus thats when the being begins to dance- not physically, but within- thats when understanding begins to come. There is something like this in our life. There is an opportunity.
If somebody comes in your life and says- "I can give you peace, I can bring you in touch with your heart" Take notice- thats worth it! If you have that in this life, in this existence. Then that is the fulfillment of this existence.
Be fulfilled.
