We have got relationship within this world. Somebody is my very good well-wisher, somebody is my friend, and somebody is neither friend nor enemy. And somebody, madhyastha, mediator, and somebody actually doing some good. Somebody I think, "Oh, here is a nice gentleman, saintly person." And somebody I think, "Oh, here is a sinful man." According to my calculation, somebody my friend, somebody my enemy, somebody neutral, somebody, I mean to say, a saintly person, somebody my . . . a sinful person.
Now all these, when you are on the yoga-yukta, when you are in the platform of transcendence, then these distinction, this "friend," "enemy," "sādhu," "saintly" and "sinful," that will all be closed. No more. No more. Paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ (BG 5.18).
Paṇḍitāḥ. When one becomes actually learned, he does not see any enemy or any friend. Because nobody is enemy, nobody is friend, nobody is my son, nobody is my mother, nobody is . . . we are all different living entities. We are just playing on the platform under the dress of father, mother, wife, children, friend, enemy. Just like in a drama we set up some character to play, so . . . but out of the stage we are all friends. Nobody . . . in the stage I say: "Oh, you are enemy. I shall kill you," and so many things I do. But when they out of the stage, we are all friends.
Similarly, in this world, in this material world, with this dress, with this dress of material body, we are playing on the stage of material world that enemy and friend and father, mother, son. I cannot beget any son. It is not possible. I simply beget this body. You see? The living entity, that is not my power. Simply by my sex intercourse with my wife, I cannot produce unless that living entity is placed in that emulsification of two secretion. These are stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. So this is only stage play. So actually, when one is situated in proper knowledge, one who is actually a yogī, for him, this distinction altogether disappears.
Yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṁ rahasi sthitaḥ (BG 6.10). Now, now here is the beginning of the yoga system, how one should perform yoga. Now, you will understand from the description of Bhagavad-gītā that what is yoga system. In your city, New York City, the yoga is very popular. Everyone is performing yoga. There are so many groups of yoga schools, but just see what the yoga system is. You just, you can understand from Bhagavad-gītā.
What is that? The first is yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṁ rahasi sthitaḥ. The yogī's business is always to remain alone in a secluded place. Alone and secluded place. Yoga can be . . . cannot be performed in assembly. Just like we are in assembly. Here you are performing yoga, I am performing yoga in the yoga class, and somebody is teaching, "Do like this. Do like that. Do like that." That is not yoga system. At least, according to Bhagavad-gītā.
