You have celebrated your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. Gaddi day very beautifully. I was not here but I saw pictures, I saw your performance, your attachment, your coming out with it, your walking with it. I wish what you could contain in that hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, six hours, should have become a routine with your life.

People think their capacities. There's a huge difference among us what we want to do or [and] what we can do. It's such a tragedy in life what we want to do may be, you know and what we can do may be absolutely nothing. And that is where ignorance is the human enemy, we do not know what we can do and what we want to. In other words we do not know our depth our dimension but we may know our direction. We may not know our depth, we may know our dimension or direction or vice versa. But that's what I am saying when consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. touches you or you touch your consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. that is where you start acting first time as a human. And it doesn't take long time, I tell you, I guarantee you one thing, it doesn't take long time that the cat is out of the bag, you are known you are selfish, you are known you are a moody, you are known you are neurotic, you are known you are this, you are known you are an idiot.

Now, when it is an established fact that you are an idiot and then you get mad at people that you are not that's where the war starts. Either you can live with people or you can live with your neurosis, either you can live with reality or you can live with non-reality. The reality is that you have to live with the factual reality and you have to live with the factual strength of the reality. You have to be practical.

When faith touches your head it becomes a religion. When faith touches the heart it becomes the way of life. And when faith becomes you then you totally become a living divine. To acquire faith is to acquire the total intelligent knowledge of yourself, faith is not a joke. Faith may be English word for you, faith is the total state of ecstasy in which your personal knowledge surmounts any other action in the world. Faith is your basic nucleus of reality. Faith has been very badly misunderstood. Because what happened is, when era of Christianity came that is where the word faith was murdered. Have faith means believe, that's not true. Faith does not mean belief, faith means the state of total acknowledged intelligence of yourself with absolute total experience where any and every sacrifice will be cheaper than to dodge you from your base.

And there is an equivalent in English, heavens, heavens cannot shake it. And that is the ordinary expression about faith. There is a Christian faith but there is a faith faith. The word belief became faith. Faith was with BhaiBhai Brother. Daaru Singh, that was called faith, when it was ordered that his hair be cut and they went to cut the hair, hair refused to get cut. The magnetic power of the hair become harder than steel, it's a historical fact. That was the faith of the man, it's a miracle of the faith, the hair were not, there was no way to cut the hair. They say, all right, if we cannot cut his hair remove his scalp. You know scalp is a separate bone so they removed his scalp, he laughed, he said, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, you couldn't cut the hair so you had to remove the scalp, see the fun of it."

Life of the faithful is the life of ecstasy. It's not a life of tragedy, it's neither a life of reason, argument, rationalism. It is very surprising that thirteen years I have passed when I've been teaching you that when you become a nucleus of the spiritual life things will come to you. That is the law. But it is very surprising, I've seen some people practice spirituality for one day, two day, three days they think they are graduate. They do it for two weeks, they think they have done the masters. They do it for eight months they think they have done the Ph.D. in spirituality and after that they say, we have, we have found God.

I'll tell you what is my spiritual experience, when I started teaching in Los Angeles and we had our first ashramAshram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. , it was so ugly that after teaching there for couple months I realized that it has become a meeting place for yoga students. They come, they do yoga, they have good health and then they date. It was just like exploitation center to find a date for the evening, let us go to the yoga class. It was so sickening to find that track of flow of energy which is so pure, so divine and which is being so misguidedly being used for such lower centers. That clean such guys out I had to order every student that they should go on fifteen cloves of garlic fast for one month.

And you will be surprised, two-third of the class lived on fifteen cloves of garlic and one-third of the class left for good.

(Laughter)

We got rid of the phonies. Because it became essential what we are for? Are we for the quality or we are for the quantity? Or we are here to relate to our higher self? Or we are tracking down our consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. ? Or we are befriending our consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. ? Or we are befriending our commotions and our neurosis? These are very strong questions. These are very strong questions in life, they are very important. You will be shocked, if you cannot be trusted. You can be found out and once you [find] found out that you cannot be trusted, it doesn't matter how honest you become nobody will trust you. So just as in life you built a credit exactly, same way you build consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. .

It is agreed you all have spirit. It is agreed spirit is a part of your life, without spirit you cannot live but do you have touch with you spirit? It is agreed under this earth there is a water but can we dig that deep to harness it? Can we have some mechanism to pump it out? Can we have some system to use it?

Human caliber is a challenge. In my eleven, twelve years whereas as our policy to teach every student to become a great person to be truthful, to be direct, to resume his or her total capacity, we have found very funny experiences. People relate to their past more than they can even think of their future and I've said it again and again those who shall relate to their past will never have their future.

Future comes, let future come, let future come to you, don't run after future. Because you can't do that. Maturity is the essence of happiness therefore it is essential for the human beings. You got to stop, you got to grow, you got to get rid of the neurosis. There are two things which are very unfortunate in our life and one is spiritual ego, it's a disease, it kills very fast and then when you do not understand what is a spiritual ego, you have a spiritual pride. In the spiritual world life is very lonely from everything else. Life is very friendly to one's own self. I was asked a question today, "Sir there is a one girl, she feels that somebody is pouncing on her."

I say, "What in Los Angeles teddy bear lives or black bear lives or brown bears have walked in, what is, what is happening here?"

And the question [answer] was "I do not know sir, she is very good in SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. ."

And to my mind it occurred, thank God at least she is doing SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. , if she would not have done SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. , she would have been in mental hospital.

You are forgetting,

'Janam Janam Ki Is Mann Ko Mal Laagi Kaala Hoya Sya.'

'From life and life and life this mind has taken all the dirt and now it is pitch black, nothing you can see through it.'

One side is soul, then there is a mind and then there's a you and if the glass of the mind is not clean the light of the soul cannot treat you. That's why you want passion, compassion, sympathy, apathy, all these dramas you do. And when your all dramas rational dramas fail then you become irrational and that's called neurosis. Neurosis is nothing [but] a dramatic behavior or a put up of irrational personality.

In this country you can't trust anybody because there is a one very fundamental question here, I don't know. I can't say why I said, why I said it. Now in a country where you are living there are people here who do not value their words but they swear on Bible in the beginning there was a word, word was with God and word was God, at least what John said and that even they don't believe that. If your words are not trustworthy, your communication cannot be trusted and you cannot live by your word who you are. You can't fluctuate. Said and done are not two personalities. There's no macho or reasonable thing, you got to go to the end. That is why you cannot take pressure because you think you are taking the pressure but if you think you are the Sikh of the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. , you are a man of God, you are a human being of the universal consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. , then there will be no pressure. Because you play games, because you manipulate, because you lie, because you are selfish, because your sensual, sexual, activities are such that you want to cover and relate things then ultimately the end will be that you will be miserable. You will be found out, there's a one word. Nobody will find you out, you will be found out.

I know of a girl, lot of years she tried with me, she was very honest to do KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all. yogaKundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. and one day she came to me and she said, "Sir can I leave?"

I say, "What was the matter?"

She say, "I am getting too good, I am afraid to be good."

Can you buy that? She left. She left for misery. People love misery, people love to be miserable. They are very fortunate people and they are very few.

'Virley Kahike.'

'They are far and far in-between.'

Who can come, bow before the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and say GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. we'll leave our miseries, we'll leave our ego, we'll leave our boasting, we'll leave our irrational neurosis and we best become a humble, simple, Sikh of the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. .

God is not that kind. History shows the hand of God has brought such a disastrous tragedy and it will bring, the way our mind is working, the way our honesty is dishonest we are, we say something different, we do something different, we commit something different, we show different, it cannot workout. We have to befriend our consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. , we have to live consciously, we have to speak consciously, we have to talk consciously, we have to communicate consciously, whatever we say, we have to be consciously responsible. For his action, for his reaction. I am saying another thing to you and that may surprise you, some of you are gone neurotic to the extent, when you talk about another human being, oh such and such a pig head. It's a very ridiculous way of communication.

You don't see the karmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. , you don't see the previous incarnation, you cannot say pig head, pig head. If you know the person was last time pig and now he carries the head of a pig you can say it I don't have any objection. Some of you are victim of driver's language, I call it. But why don't you hire trucks and go ahead and get off from my back and give me a peaceful time, I mean you are human beings. You have to have some decency. Oh, such and such person, "Oh think not of her, she is just a pig head." And now you've got guts that when you talk to me on the telephone, your language is not worthwhile even listening. There's no reverence to a teacher in many time your telephonic communication too.

I feel it is very deceitful and very deceitful of the self that we have gone down so insane and so out of touch of reality that we cannot talk in the presence of our own spiritual teacher with reverence and use a decent language. Just please remember decency has its own beauty and decency comes from consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. . The only area, scripture wise where you are allowed to reprimand to awaken a unconscious person and give him a spiritual thought you can use the analytical language. Best course is you can say, such and such a person is not doing very well. Try to start a campaign in Los Angeles that everybody should use positive language for forty days, just positive language. Kindness should come through your words, sweetness should come through you. Don't rationalize it.

The basic beauty of a God given human being is that his language should be very decent. I am not asking you to speak artificial language, I am not asking you to use your artificial expression but you can always use positive expression. If somebody is according to you a half-head, let us take that way, be very grateful and very graceful that you are not. If somebody is miserable, try to misunderstand not me, try to be grateful that you are not. There is a very popular saying and it's a Persian saying,

'Zaban Sheeri, Mulk Giri.'

'If you have a sweet language you can rule over the world.'

And also there is another situation when you use and talk and discuss and counsel, I have seen you have forgotten the principle, poke, provoke, confront and then you stop it there.

It's very unfortunate, very unfriendly, elevate. And lastly because faith is very essential, when you see somebody's faith falling apart don't join the gossip, reverse the situation. The one who slanders is worst but one who join the slander is million time worse. We are human beings, decency is in our creed, faith in our personality.

(?) and sacrifice in our character. These are the marks of a human being. A human being honors the word, die for the word, lives for the word and human being words are the utmost gift of God. Communication is the biggest God given gift given to us. Please remember whenever you have to speak concentrate on third eye pointThird Eye Point The sixth chakra or center of consciousness. It is located at a point on the forehead between the eyebrows. Associated with the functioning of the pituitary gland, it is the command center and integrates the parts of the personality. It gives you insight, intuition, and the understanding of meanings and impacts beyond the surface of things. For this reason it is the focal point in many meditations. . Warn yourself first before speaking, then from where you are talking. If you talk from any lower ChakraChakra , Chaakra The word connotes a wheel in action. It usually refers to the seven primary energy centers in the aura that align along the spine from its base to the top of the skull. Each chakra is a center of consciousness with a set of values, concerns, and powers of action associated with it. you can be really in trouble. Speak from your forehead where you can speak for destiny, of destiny, and unto the destiny. We talk about the destiny and its words tomorrow. May the long time sun...

(Students sing May the long time...).
