Folks, what is the subject you want me to speak? Is there any subject you want me to speak to? Ah?

Student: (------)

YB: Oh you don’t worry about it, you will listen me all the time, I am talking.

Student: (------)

YB: Hmm?

Student: (------)

YB: Enlightenment, wow, that’s a good subject.

There is a subject called enlightenment but it is such a beautiful subject people talk about it but majority of the people do not know what is it. It is just like talking about a restaurant and explaining the dishes and telling the name of the cook and the chef but not explaining where it is and how much it costs. Exactly in the same way in this world of today people talk about God, they talk about enlightenment even though they are very good in explaining certain aspect but they are not in a position to deliver the goods and this thing goes on and on as the life goes on.

There are two things in the life – one is called mystery, the other called mastery. Where there is a mystery there is no mastery. Where there is a mastery there is no mystery. And when you cannot explain something you call it mystery. When you can explain something then it is a mastery, which is a very normal situation. In this world of today, it is a very funny world if you want to look at it. And just imagine how foolish we are. On one area of life we think God is omnipresent, God is omniscient, God is all, we are the creatures, he is the Creator, the world is a congregation of God. We say that. When we say that we don’t believe in that. Had that statement would have been properly believed there would not have been any trouble whatsoever on the part of anybody. Believing God is everywhere and then try to find Him, then try to locate Him, then try to fix Him, pin Him down is nothing but the basic mockery of the confused mind.

To be very honest with you, I am not a very professional spiritual preacher. I take the life as it comes to you. As the life comes to me I accept it and I believe and you need not believe that that God doesn’t take any man with adjective. If God had produced a man He shall accept Him back exactly if He is a man. If God has produced a woman God shall accept her exactly if she is a woman. These adjectives are just earthly experiences. I further believe the man is holy, because he has nine holes and through these nine holes the science and the mystery whatever you want to call it of the enlightened person starts. You have two eyes, to ears, two nostrils, one mouth, one urinary system and the last is what you know anyway. Now these are the nine holes. If you allow not any wrong inlet through these holes and you properly proceed that outlet is proper, you shall, I repeat, you shall be very divine. This is the simplest procedure to become a authentic divine person. Don’t hear wrong, don’t see wrong, praise the lord, don’t hold your urinary system for lustful purposes and do not be constipated all the time. Very simple. Because the system which man has, is a very divine system. Though lot of people look energetic, look divine than a ordinary person and specially some people are very professional, they talk about God, they think about God, they money because of God, they run their business because of God. They are salesman of God. And one of those salesman is YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. Bhajan too. There is no different you can sell cloth, you can sell electronic equipment or you can sell God. Some charges more, some charges less. It depends upon what is your audience. But fact is that the direction of the mind is the most important. If the mind is directed towards the infinity which we call God, then happiness is assured. But if the mind, the mind is confined to your own gain you are limited. The enlightened mind or enlightened person is not that who can talk lot about God. Remember that. Because if you take a donkey and put all the scriptures on it, it doesn’t become a punditPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. . It is the inside state of your mind which matters. You have come from God, you shall go to God. There is no in-between.

Now your problem is the guilt 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. . You are the sinner, you are born in sin, you do the sin and you are this, you are that. It is such a third rate situation. On one side we say we are born in the image of God, God is omnipresent and omniscient, God does everything. On one side the situation exist. And it is according to the scriptures. On the other side you are all born in sin and you are sinners. Now tell me which one is true? Which one is true? I am asking a question, I am not that kind of lecturer I am going to let you participate. You have to come along with me. tell me which one is true. Are you born on a sin and you are sinners or you are born in the image of God and everything God does? Which one is true? Both are wrong. Because this is what you say that man is born in the image of God and God is omnipresent and omniscient, you don’t believe it. That is your problem. That is your basic problem as human beings.

I do not understand and I do not remember when I have sinned. If I am ignorant I am ignorant. Anything which I have done wrong is out of ignorance. Question of sin does not arise at all. And if I am created in the image of God then whatever rotten stuff I do it is his grace. But provided your mind does not live in a duality. That’s the fundamental. It is the fundamental law to be understood that no human being or anything in this world has ever been created by another human being. It is the creation of God. When it is the creation of God there are three types of people in this world. Elementary, supplementary, complementary. Human beings, human bags, human balloons. Human balloons are those who live by sheer ego. Human bags are there you put anything in them, they do not know what the hell is going on. Human beings are those who at least know that they belong to the almighty God and they are in His true image. There is no big deal doing a meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. buying a mantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. for hundred fifty dollars, closing your eyes, doing all that stuff. That is good for the beginners. That stuff is good for the beginner. And also, there is no beauty in making makeup, going to the massage parlor and beauty parlor spending thirty five dollars on a hairdo, fifty dollars in facial massage, sixty dollars in this and all that, that also doesn’t work.

The person who is successful is that who has the inner strength and inner beauty. And who is consistently constant leaning towards God. Enlightened person always meditates and act and feel towards infinity and other person is that who does not know that. Must you remember, ego shall make you limited, egolessness shall make you infinite. People come to earth to go. Nobody has ever lived straight. Calling yourself Christian is a joke if you do not experience Christ 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. . I don’t care how you experience it. It is not my problem. Call yourself Christian and not live in Christ 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. is as phony as somebody tell you that he is a MD and he doesn’t know what is a stethoscope. Calling yourself a religious person and not living in the harmony of the reality is just as big a joke as you can do. You are as hypocrite as you can be considered. In reality you have two lines to go on. One is, you belong to God and therefore God shall belong to you. The other is you think you belong to God and you think God belongs to you.

I say something very simple to all the people. Don’t love that man who loves God. Love that man whom God loves. And there are two categories of people. By projecting out your spiritual strength your radiance become effective. And by projecting your ego and using the language of God will ultimately make you feel handicapped. Valley of the saints is the same valley for all kind and race of people. In the domain of God there is no makeup which you can wear and there is no process you can makeup your basic bankruptcy of the spiritual reality.

I have seen in America and I have lived in America from last nine years. I have realized that people here want to buy God and people want here to sell God. And that is very astonishing to me why these people do it. They think giving two hundred dollars in charity or doing this in charity or doing this stuff in thing we will please God. Now God doesn’t have a store where he needs customers. God is nothing but reality. Not the reality which you know in books and you write in articles. God is a reality which you live.

I always ask question, out of you raise your hands who got up in the morning and when you open the first eye, your eye, not mine, and you had a first breath after the sleep, with that first breath you say ‘thank God you are divine, thank you for this another day.’ Raise your hands. Come on, come on, be brave. Now can you believe those who didn’t do this thing in the morning they didn’t remember God at all?

Problem with you folks is a simple problem. You think God lives somewhere else and that’s not true. God lives right in the heart of everybody. As a yogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. I want to tell you funny thing. Those who try to find God outside are just wasting their time. There is no such thing which exist. Then question arises why this, this place, why there is a church, why there is a synagogue, why there is a temple. I tell you why they exist. They do not exist for politics. They existed that all people who are trying to seek and experience God they should come there and join hands together and think about it, share the philosophy or the procedure or the experience so everybody can be advanced. That was the fundamental purpose of all men of all walks of life.

Now these days it is the age of television. Religion was tribal law first. Tribal law existed for a long time. After tribal law head of the tribe was either the king or head of the tribe was considered very holy, was obeyed. Range of every religion in those days was two hundred and fifty miles. Beyond that it was pretty difficult. Machineries go different places, talk about their religion and their experience and their God and thus, life kept expanding. But in the modern times as we stand today, every information about the words comes right to you without any hesitation. In this aspect of life the society has become homogeneous.

It is a very funny feeling. One day I was counseling somebody and the man and wife were sitting before me and she said, “Sir, I cannot live with this man.”

“Okay. Fine. You can’t live with this man, right.” I said, “Give me five things against him.”

And she said, “He does not inspire me towards God, he does not inspire me towards love, he does not inspire me to higher 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. , he does not inspire blah, blah.”

I said, “Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait. Is it your fundamental right to feel inspired and this poor man is your slave? If marriage is a mutual situation how much you inspire him to inspire you?”

And I asked the man, I said, “What is your problem?”

He said, “Sir, in the morning when I take my first turn and get up and say God, she started nagging me till I exhaust myself in to sleep. Rather I cannot live with her.”

So it comes to the same truth, there are three types of people. One type is who live at each other. The other type is who live with each other and third type is, who live for each other. The congregation of spiritual world is the congregation of the people of that category who try to help and live each other with, so that they can make a motivation of God, the infinite. Your limitations in your life are your problems. Your rituals and your beliefs are your handicaps. God is totally like a sunshine. And it shines on every individual poor and rich, great and small alike. But we can’t see it. Some people think in the park that bum who does not know where Los Angeles though he sits in the central park of Los Angeles, has nothing divine in him. And there is a possibility that he may be totally divine and totally ran away from this earth and world for all reasons.

I tell you my funny experience. In Canada, on the Church Street there is a very beautiful church. That street is filled with church. Lot of church. Abandoned, nobody goes there for worship, only on Sunday they open the door, some people come but this pretty church is very great because all the bums come there. Everybody. They all have a bottle in their hand and they come, sit and pray. I asked that priest. I said, “God, what is it?”

He said “Well, so long these bums comes and pray, my door should be open.”

I said, “Do you feel embarrassed or not?”

He said, “Well, Yogiji, in the beginning I used to feel embarrassed but one day it dawned on me after all they are a congregation of the same God, what it matters they are bum or not. Since then I have never bothered and I collect all the bums of the Toronto city.” Do you know it’s a one of the big city in Canada. And his congregation is full. What he does, he sings the song Hallelujah saints are marching on and I assure you, I attended one service, these bums were the best than I have seen anybody. They sing perfect, they are so one pointed and they are so good that you can’t even believe it and then everybody leaves one dollar on the altar which normally normal Christians put twenty five cents, you know when that basket goes around. And they come straightaway and offer one dollars, sing funny beautiful very enlightening songs. Be there up to eleven thirty or twelve and very calmly leave, go outside, take their bottles up and gud-gud-gud-gud-gud again the same thing.

Our hatred among mankind that this man is superior, that man is inferior, this man is divine, this person is not, this person is rich, this person is not rich, this person is ugly, this person is black, this person is white, he is a Netherlander, he is this, he is Caucasian, he is Indian and we all talk about God, feel about God, think about God but hates His creation. Our judgment is who is rich, who is poor, who is my friend, who is my enemy. If we fundamentally feel that we are all creatures and God has created this creation, then every creature is a part of His congregation, there is no place for hatred. This is the first fundamental sign of a man of God he does not know how to hate. Second fundamental principle of a man of God, he he lives for others. Third fundamental of a God of is is that he sees God in everybody within and fourth fundamental rule of enlightenment of man of God is that he talks to all equal and at the same level and the same frequency about God and final is, whatever he has, he feels is the property of the God and he is the trustee he does not pretend to show his ownership.

These are the fundamental behaviors of a person who can pretend to even call himself enlightened. Enlightenment belongs to those who feel they live by the light of Almighty God. PranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. , Pranpati Nimitam. My life is because my life comes from the life-giver. That’s the fundamental. You do not live by air and you do not live by this and you do not by that. You live because you have the Pranas. PranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. are those faculties of life which comes to you by air and makes you to live. When the switch is off up there, all this beautiful human being is just lying down like a dead body. It has no value. You may not even know about death but unfortunately I died once so I know it is, what, what happens. People are afraid of death and I agree with you you should be afraid of it. But actually dying is a very healthy process. And it is very peaceful. It is so lovely that you can’t believe it and one of the worst thing which happens after death is that when you die you start sinking and it’s a very cool cozy situation. Then you reach a stage where there is a lot of light and that stage you see a movie. It is a panorama show of your entire life. You are told what you did from the very day who you were, what you did now and then you are asked to judge yourself. And I think majority of the people condemn themself. But those who have a 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. , higher 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. , God 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. , Christ 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. they have a Sattva lived in the truth and their wisdom is Sattva Bodhi or whatever you call, all this is the name of one thing and that one thing is how you relate to God. Do you relate to God as a special relationship, do you relate to God something is outside than you or do you relate to God as you are representing the God and God is within. That decides the life. Those who feel God is outside, they never reach it. Those who feel God inside they have not to worry about anything. I always say and I say you too. Do not seek God, live like God. Because God is within.

Now when I came to America I didn’t have a billboard on my forehead that I am a yogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. . Not at all. Since these nine years I have never related to anybody as a superior man. I joke, I play, I run around, I do all the tidbits, I do every funny thing in the world. Nothing special. Absolutely I am not special. But the funniest part is there are certain things which I say innocently happens. Because I always believed God is the doer. And God shall do. And sometime I am so weird I really put God in trouble. And I do it very intentionally without caring what will happen to the guy.

I remember once a person said, “I feel you are very divine.”

I say “You are mistaken.”

She said, “No, no, I feel.”

I said, “Good, then what I can do for you?”

She said, “This is my problem.”

I said, “It looks impossible.”

She said, “That is true, but I thought some man of God should do it.”

I said, “All right, if you think I am a man of God, it is done.”

The person adjoining to me said, “Yogiji, what this bum statement, what are you doing, you know what she is into?”

I said, “What do I care? She thinks I am a man of God. I told her I am not. She thinks I can do it, I told her I can’t. It is her belief that I can do it and I have told her that it will be done, it is between her and God. The problem is if God will do it, she will believe in Him, if God won’t do it, she’ll abuse me and God both. What do I lose? Don’t worry. If this problem is God’s creation then can only solve it. I do not know how wrong this problem is but I feel it will be done.”

Eight, nine days after she came and she said, “I want to thank you.”

I said, “You are the biggest fool, why you want to thank me? I am perfect, whole thing is done.” I said, I never did a thing, I didn’t even pray for you.”

“But I am totally healed, I am perfect.”

I said, “You are totally mistaken.”

“I see Christ through you.”

I said, “Baby, I have not seen Christ myself, don’t start seeing things through me. Absolutely no problem, you are, I tell you. You have a lot of faith, you have a lot of belief and you are a lot of beautiful person. And you have total power to heal yourself and you did it.”

She said, “No, no, you are mocking at me.”

I said, “I didn’t, I am telling you the very fact.”

“But you said it will be done, that’s why it is done.”

I said, “I say everyday. And everyday I say things and things get done.”

Because somebody is responsible to survive me. God knows that YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. Bhajan is the funniest person on this planet and he says lot of things which he should not say. But it is the belief, faith moves the mountains, otherwise stones are heavy.

When I came to this country, I told everybody, I am no holy. But I know lot of things, I’ll share with you. And I used to sit with uptight Americans, you know, they are very funny people. Lot of question, lot of power trips and lot of things, what you can do.

I said, “I don’t know what I can do. We’ll sit down and do something.” And sometime out of sheer joke I’ll start saying certain things. And then those people will start thinking how he knows. Why not? What is the big deal? There is a universal mindUniversal Mind This refers to the entire spectrum of mental existence and sentient potential in the universe in whatever form. Mind and matter are considered gradations of transcendental nature, Prakirti, and can exist without or before a particular entity to experience it. (See also chitta.) , you are a part of universal mindUniversal Mind This refers to the entire spectrum of mental existence and sentient potential in the universe in whatever form. Mind and matter are considered gradations of transcendental nature, Prakirti, and can exist without or before a particular entity to experience it. (See also chitta.) , just tune it, all universal mindUniversal Mind This refers to the entire spectrum of mental existence and sentient potential in the universe in whatever form. Mind and matter are considered gradations of transcendental nature, Prakirti, and can exist without or before a particular entity to experience it. (See also chitta.) is contained of all of you so you can pick and choose anything you like. It is so simple.

I am a problem, I do not know, I am very depressed. Where should I go? Go nowhere. Go in the sun and sleep. You will sweat, you will be all right. I mean to say sometime it is so amazing to me when people fight, they yell at each other, they are obnoxious to each other, they cannot live with each other. One day one is honey, the other day that become a red chili. It is amazing world in which the problem is nothing, 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. Guru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. NanakGuru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. said,

‘Homme Vada Rog Hai, Daru Bhi Ismayie.'

Ego is the biggest disease but it has its own solution in it.

We have lot of egos. This Id is the problem. I am. Then I have every problem of the world because my ego shall limit me. And then when I say I am I am, then I have no problem at all because I am by the grace of that I am which created me.

Funniest part of it, when I went to the interreligious council when we became members there and the president of the interreligious council was a very beautiful man and we satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down and talked a lot. He talked lot with us. So after one year when he was to leave president ship, he said, ‘My dear friends, I am a Christian and I believe in Christ, therefore I couldn’t believe in anything else. But having worked with you guys for one year I have found out you are equally divine and as my limitation existed it is unto the Christ whose slave I am that I was very limited and uptight with all of you. But however, through the one year I have learnt a lesson that all human being doesn’t matter what they believe in, so far they believe in God are equally the children of God. I like to extend my apologies.’

And we couldn’t believe that that person will have this kind of congregation on the last day and this kind of mental feeling.

Sometime with our beliefs we become very uptight, we become very fanatic. And we try to limit God. If you know Hindu religion there is, first of all there is no Hindu religion. They were all called Sindhus, those who live beyond Indus were called Sindhus. That was the first Aryan race. So later on it becomes Hindus. Now Hindu religion is one of the funniest religion in the planet. There is nothing equal to it. And they worship idols which are not to be worshiped by those who believe in one God but among them there are people who only worship one God and no identity, they are very, there is nothing on this planet which is being practiced, which they don’t know. You believe me or not. Even the word God which you have is of their three Gods. The God of creation, the God of organization and God of death. BrahmaBrahma The Hindu God of creation, one the three primary manifestations of God. Vishnu Mahesh, they believe in those three Gods which are the part of that one God. And our word God has three letters, G-O-D, generating power, organizing power and destroying power. So we pick up the first alphabet, put it together made the word God. If you look into the depth of their philosophy, they are very funny people. On one side is Vedanta, a philosophy where they can deal and experience with Infinity as you deal with kindergarten. On the other side there is a God monkey head and there is a God with elephant head and there is a God with eight hands and all that stuff. So what was it, it’s a kind of a religion which deals with every person at that state of life. What anybody wants to believe they provide him. The purpose of that religion is somehow by hook and crook believe in God, that’s all.

There are punditsPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. in Kashmir, they eat chicken and fish. There are punditsPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. in Bengal, they eat fish and they call it sea zucchini. And there are punditsPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. in plains, they say Nahi, Nahi, Nahi, Nahi, Nahi, one who eats flesh is totally a sinner. Sometime I feel the fun. I say if a Hindu eats the beef, he goes to hell. A Muslim eats the pork, he goes to hell. A Christian eats both he goes to heaven, what is up? What is up? The way you believe things. And now these days people say people are being brainwashed, actually you all have been brainwashed. You have been told this is it, this is it. In the, in the interreligious council one day asked me to speak and I normally don’t talk long time in such councils, I speak once a while, a one word or two. I said, “You are all very great people. Nobody cares for the shepherd, nobody care for the sheep, all you care for the wool and wool is sitting on your eyes, you can’t see through it. And that’s it. And that is true of everybody.”

You know Jesus Christ poor man has said so many things as a son of God. So many good things. All they do is put him on a cross and hang him everywhere. That’s all he did. Now he didn’t. He has lot of things which he said. He said, love thy fellow being, he said, be kind to everybody. He said, be nice. Kill none. This, that. Who cares? Who cares? Now what is a Christianity. Christianity is a religions of master and student. Judaism is a tribal religion, head of the religion is the king, others are followers. That is how there were twelve tribes and one last tribe you understand. But Christianity has such a beautiful situation to start with. There is a master, there is a slave. There is a 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. , there is a student. And teacher and student relationship. Therefore anybody can follow. There is no restriction. In Judaism you have to be initiated and you have to be tested and you have to be qualified and there are lot of fundamental laws but in Christianity if you believe in Christ that is so far good but not practices teaching you are no Christian. But they do one thing. If you believe in Christ you are okay. Believing in Christ does not mean a thing if you do not live by the teaching which Christ laid down. It is a hypocrisy.

I tell all my students. If you do not get up morning at three O’clock and you do not take a bath and you do not sit and meditate on God and you do not do 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. , you are nobody. Because when the sun rises everybody shall rise, even fool has to rise. Men of God are those who have the will to get up at that primal hour when nobody wants to get up. And then at that time you praise the Lord. When you come to the church you dress yourself you get ready you look beautiful. Exactly each day of life needs that part of the day should be dedicated to God. That is why early in the morning when it’s the primal hour of life one should get up and praise the Lord, the Creator, the 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, the, the, whatever you want to call that the.

During the day one should remember that you are a creature. And in the evening instead of taking two martini and steak one should bow down and thank Almighty Creator for one day of life. And it must be done in a simple manner. Simplicity is the Divinity and the dignity of the divine life. You must live simple. You must eat simple. You must sleep simple. You must talk simple. Don’t make your life complicated, it shall put you in the hustle puzzle of life and you shall never be happy.

Four things nobody knows. And those who know those four things they never tell. Where to born, when to born and why to born, where to die, when to die and why to die, how much to earn, where to earn and when to earn, how much to lose, where to lose and why to lose. And if you take these four things minus, nothing else you want to know. I say to you the Creator has created you. You are the creature and one who can rotate this earth, one who can rotate this earth cannot take care of your routine? But nay, you don’t have faith in God. You say you have faith in God, you say you believe in God, you say you are a good man.

Now tell me how can you be good without God? God has one ‘o’ in it, good has two o’s in it. How you spell God? G-o-d. How you spell good? G-o-o-d. Good contains God in it. If you want to be a good man you have to be first God’s man. Otherwise it won’t work.

YB: Well, procedurally if you want to do the procedural system then you must get up in the morning in the primal hours. Primal hours, etheric hours are almost three AM to six AM, that is the time when holy men sleep because they leave their bodies. But the practitioner should get up. Men of God leave their physicals and go on routes here and there anywhere whatever they have to do and because that time is etherical time one should get up, take a cold shower, that’s the requirement, because when you take cold shower the circulatory system wants to defend the cold and comes outside to the capillaries. And when all the capillaries are cleaned then meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. is possible, otherwise it is not. It is the first fundamental requirement. All those who meditate without that are just doing a ritual. It doesn’t matter one is a yogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , one is a not, one is a man or one is a not, one is a Christian, and one is a Buddhist, fundamental law requires that you must get up in the morning and take a cold shower and massage your body. And when you massage your body, then you towel yourself, you come down and you sit down. You have to sit down, you can’t sit on a chair because you have to cut the circulation in the legs so that all other blood require at that time should go towards the head. That’s why we do sit in a posture and that other requirement is that you have to have a shawl or a blanket around your shoulders. It is a requirement. People who do not put a warm shawl or a blanket around their shoulder always get different kind of diseases while meditating. It is a requirement. Secondly, on the place you sit either there should be a skin or a blanket. Wool, which is, which is a skin always. So why we do that? Because we sit as disconnected with the earth on a electromagnetic field basis.

Now I tell you. Sitting like this and putting a shawl or a blanket around you and when you sit you start meditating on God. God is the Almighty, whatever you say. Exactly in three minutes of your praising the God, you will have all the garbage coming to you. ‘I have that appointment, I have this, she treated me like this, he treated me like that, my girlfriend,’ you know, every negative dirty thought will hit you. Moment it start hitting you you are really meditating. That is a subconscious cleanout and this way you just go on saying ‘God is Almighty, God is Almighty, oh that nonsense, idiot, that, she did that, oh God,’ but you go on saying God is Almighty, don’t stop. That is what meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. is, that is what MantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. is. Pick up one word to praise the Lord and whatever other comes to you is garbage and unfortunately at that period lot of garbage will come. You can’t help it. But if you let that garbage come at that time, then subconscious won’t pick it up and you will not have weird dirty dreams and your thoughts will be clean for the day because all the ugliness will appear and will be gone but in the end you will be surprised you will be saying God is Almighty, God is Almighty and there will be no thought. Then you can get up. No big deal. That is the fundamental law of meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. . Nothing less, nothing more can work.

Have you seen Jews meditating? No Jew can meditate without meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. shawl. They always used to wear yarmulke, even Christian used to wear that. Yarmulke was not that little cap with a bobby pin attached. It used to be a cotton cloth seven yard long, quarter, yard and a quarter wide. They will tie it around the head before they go in meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. . Because you do not understand once you meditate and you feel that great, your radiance is huge. And it’s the most joyful experience. It is not experience, it’s a very joyful experience.

First of all you suffer. Taking cold bath is a nonsense for all of us, isn’t it? Then sitting down is painful. And then saying all the time the same thing what for? But what I tell you by experience after a while you just start flowing with it. And then what happens you become the meditative mind, you become the nucleus, you become the hub. Then life start relating to you. There are two ways to live. Either you struggle and live or life shall live for you. When you are a meditative mind things will fit in for you. Then you have not to hassle. That is the advantage of meditative mind. It’s called going across the river on a boat or swim. MeditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. is a very simple procedural situation in which you must rise in the primal hours. Primal hour stars 3 AM to 6 PM according to longitude and local time of every place. And within that time you must take a very beautiful cold shower to open up your capillaries of the body so that your circulation can behold you while you meditate. And then you can pick up any word Christ is my savior. Doesn’t matter God and me and God are one, SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Sat Naam , Sat Nam The essence or seed embodied in form; the identity of truth. When used as a greeting it means "I greet and salute that reality and truth which is your soul." It is called the Bij Mantra - the seed for all that comes. Sat Naam , Sat Nam The essence or seed embodied in form; the identity of truth.

Finally the thoughts will be all gone, and you will start enjoying what you are saying. More you will say it, more you will enjoy it, when that state of consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness.

That is how it works.

YB: Na, warm shower doesn’t work. When you take a warm shower, the blood goes to the inner organs. And the procedure to take warm shower is fill on your tub, sit in that for half an hour or forty five minutes, till your tips of the finger become like prune. That is the way to take hot shower, otherwise don’t take it, it is dangerous. You like it or not, that’s the way it is. If you want to take hot shower get up at two O’clock get into a hot tub and sit in it till your fingers become like prune. You know that wrinkled stuff, then get up, because then blood will go all to the inner organs and then shall rush out to the capillaries to let you live. Capillaries will be clean. That takes about forty five minutes to hour. Cold shower takes about ten minutes. These who take hot shower stand on the shower and do that, God bless them, they end up with lot of troubles. Actually when we take a cold bath or a hot bath, it is not only to clean the skin, our skin doesn’t go that dirty, we wear all the clothes over it, it is mostly for the circulation.

YB: Yeah, the first principle of such a person is to keep shut.

Keep going. It will all go away within the Time and Space when you will be you. Otherwise you will caught into the jungle of the MayaMaya The creative power of the Creator that restricts and limits. It creates the sense of limitation that leads us to identify with experience, the ego, and things. Because of this it is often thought of as the illusion that blocks us from the spirit. But, as Guru Nanak (see Sikh Gurus) reminds us, you need not be attached to the productions of maya. Instead they can be used to serve and express the higher consciousness and spirit. Maya is simply Karta Purkh, the doing of the Great Being. Maya takes the ineffable into the realm of the measurable. of the meditationMeditation Dhyan.

Some liked it, some didn’t. Some wanted to seek the personality cult, you know, they wanted a 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 all that stuff which I couldn’t fulfil, then I got in trouble with this rich old ladies, they wanted me to initiate them, I couldn’t do that either. So there was a lot of trouble which I went through Hollywood era I call it, three, four years. And finally it got known that this guy neither goes left nor goes right, he is, he is. So those who liked came, those who didn’t like I never went after anybody. Procedurally a new generation got born. Very healthy, very happy and very holy people. Radiant, enjoy their life and this way we could help and serve lot of people.

So we have three categories. Those who are, we call them square people, square people are those who believe in their traditional way of life and religion but seek our help and advice and counsel. We are very commonly loving and free to them. Second is, triangular people. Those are the people who want to live this earthly life but under the domain of God. And third are in between. So what we do is, we serve the purpose of every human being. That is why, we have ashramsAshram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. everywhere in the country and we are very open. Anybody can come in and anybody can go. We have no secret to hide and no secret not to tell. Procedurally people come to the yoga classes and when they feel they have to be advanced, then they start asking questions, and their curiosity is fulfilled. Sometime they come to 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 people who come to the 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. early in the morning are those one who, who enjoy the experience. So it was a new phase in the spiritual world where we did not establish a order.

You know there are lot of orders in, in this place. I do not know their name but they are doing good job too. You have seen people, those are followers of Daya Mata, what they call them? Self-realization, that’s a one order here, that practices KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. yoga and then there is a order of SwamiSwami Master. Satchitanand integral yoga and then there are Hatha yogisYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , lot of them these days but in early sponsors there are two, three main SwamisSwami Master. who do that. And then there are lot of Christian groups which do have some part of this, some part of that. So philosophically we stayed with everybody in the idea that let everybody do what everybody wants to do. But those shall come shall not be talked much, they should just experience. That is how we started our way of life. That is why, I started teaching in universities and colleges. The purpose was not, neither it was money, nor it was gathering people. The purpose was to make these teachings available. And that was the basic idea on which we stand.

We believe how rotten a person is, he or she has the chance to make this life divine. But there are problems with lot of people because they feel they believe in A, not B, they believe in B, not C, so we in turn do not want to interfere with anybody’s discipline. And we do not believe in rituals either. We believe, if you want to be divine you have to work for it. And we cannot make distinction, A is my initiate and B is not. That’s why, with the grace of God I have not initiated anybody. I believe, when you start working towards God and 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. and spirit you are initiating yourself into the path. That way Christians come, lot of orthodox Christian you know they believe in meditationsMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. and they believe in 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.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. , they ask for opinion and guidance we freely give it, we don’t hesitate.

In other words, we don’t have distinction that this person is a Christian, this person is a Buddhist, this person is a Muslim, this person is that, this person is that. We don’t bother about it. And if you come to the classes you come, you don’t come, good luck. You know. So procedurally is, we believe whomsoever God wisheth to experience shall experience through his grace. We will only share the knowledge. That’s how we go about it.

KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. is a procedural system in the body in which the person can have that divine mechanism. As human being you have no defense mechanism. Neither you have a skin, nor you have hoof nor you have a claw. You have no defense mechanism. Your defense mechanism is your intuition. You must know intuitively, you must know intuitively what this sequence will lead to what consequences. So if you do not want to face consequences you must not start with the sequence. And not to start with the sequence you have to have intuition. And intuition comes to those who have their KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. risen. It’s a simple law. It’s not difficult to explain.

Whatever you do, you do to avoid those consequences, you can only avoid consequences if you do not get into the sequence. Sequence is like a belt. First you get into it, that’s it. Don’t get into it, if you do not want to face ugly consequences, don’t get into ugly sequence. And for that you must have intuition so that the MayaMaya The creative power of the Creator that restricts and limits. It creates the sense of limitation that leads us to identify with experience, the ego, and things. Because of this it is often thought of as the illusion that blocks us from the spirit. But, as Guru Nanak (see Sikh Gurus) reminds us, you need not be attached to the productions of maya. Instead they can be used to serve and express the higher consciousness and spirit. Maya is simply Karta Purkh, the doing of the Great Being. Maya takes the ineffable into the realm of the measurable. may not hallucinate you to trap you in. There is a different between a psyche and intuition. These people who are psychic, I always say God save me from the psychics, they pollute my faith. Because a psychic is a person whom the thought comes like intuition but he or she has to interpret it. And in that interpretation lot of personal things get added to. But intuition is very simple. It is just you see clearly what it can be. So you have to see, in intuition there will be always two sides will appear to you. This or that. So if you get on this road it is not that road. If you go on the north you can’t go on the south. If you go on the south you can’t go towards north. That is called intuition. I tell you today how intuition works.

There was a girl who used to come to my class. One day I looked at her and I say, “Honey, I have to talk to you. Can you see me?”

She said, “All right.”

So I saw her. I said, “What do you do with your hair?”

She said, “Oh I just wanted to look modern and I want to look good.”

I said, “Do one thing. Either cover them or shave them off.”

She said, “Why? Why I have to do that?”

I said, “That’s what I am saying. I don’t care whether you believe me or not.”

She said, “Don’t you see I have, my hairs are beautiful?”

I said, “Behind these beautiful hair your mind is doing and thinking certain weird things. Tell me what it is.”

“Oh no, oh no, nothing.”

You know, I don’t know, I can’t say it, all that jazz. I said, “Look, tell me what are you doing these days.”

“Oh, oh, I am living with some people. I am very happy.”

I said, “That’s not true. This hairdo cost about seventy dollars, I know. You have never seen seventy dollars in your life. You come to my class instead of a dollar, two dollar which is, donation. You leave five dollars I have watched it. Number two, every week you change your hairdo. Number three your clothes are not of a normal graceful woman. With whom you live?”

“Oh, there is a man I have living arrangement with him, bah, bah, bah.”

I said, “Where?”

She told me the address. And she wanted to look very genuine. Third day I caught her again. I said, “You get out of that place and leave them alone.”

She said, “Why?”

I said, “They are the smugglers. And they make lot of money and they all trap you and you should not get into this part of life.”

“How you know? How you can say?”

I said, “Don’t be defensive. I am just telling you. It’ll be a problem.”

After ten days I got a phone, she is in jail. They trap them all in. One day the squad came and put everybody into the jail. Well, luckily she was innocent, she didn’t participate in any of the smuggling ring and all that and judge was kind, only gave her three months. So she came back and she said, “Why I did that, why I didn’t listen to you?”

I said, “Nothing. You went on the sequence which must lead to the consequences. And I told you in time that your way of life is abornmal.

Abnormal living will take you to abnormal consequences. Abnormal consequences is jail. You were not, you could not tell me how you can do all this to yourself. And I knew it there is something wishy washy. So when you do wishy washy things, you end up with wishy washy consequences. When you do too much of things you must get confined. And confinement is not only jail, confinement is also sick bed. That is confinement too. When you too much hanky panky with your body, you get sick. When you do too much hanky panky with this earth you get caught in one way or the other. It is the straight life which gives you ultimate happiness. And those who feel like practicing any kind of yoga or 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.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. or any religion, my advice to them is, just experience it.

Now this place is a beautiful place. If you take your car, go this way, go that way, go this way and go this way and get out and you say “Oh, I see that place.” Doesn’t mean a thing. You must come in, you must sit in, you must feel it, you must be with it, you must understand their activities and all that stuff. That’s called experience. Every person or any person who shall like to be with God must feel God within. And there are meditationsMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. as many as you cannot even count. There are MantrasMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. as many as you cannot even write. Man has thousands of years of this knowledge gathered together for the purposes that people who wants to reach experience of God should be helped. And my sayings is,

'Gar Jawani Tauba Kardan Shewa-e-Paighambarese Waqt-e-Peeri Gurg-e-Zalim Me Shawad Parhaizgaar.'

It’s a Persian couplet and this was the first lesson my grandfather gave it to me which I share with you.

If you want to say no to something, say no when you are in full youth. That is the act of the prophets because at that time you have all the temptation. But when you become old like a bloody wolf who has lost his teeth and he becomes vegetarian, it’s a very useless trip.

It is my hope and my procedural hope that you can live a life as a human being a full life and still can live with dignity and Divinity of God radiant through you.

I think it is going to be now twelve O’ clock, isn’t our time is up now?

Student: (-----)

Now, we'll come to the practical side of life, which is called 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. . Most of the time we are not consciously conscious that we have 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. , most of the time. That is where the pain of the life starts. If a person can develop a technology, which maybe mental or physical, mental or physical, which can direct you to be consciously conscious that you are answerable to nobody, even not God.

I am going to say certain weird things, which you are not going to like and my apologies for that. Because you are all brainwashed people, you have a certain system and I have no system for that. So, I am going to say certain things, which you will not understand and they may hurt you. But question is, I have to say them, because I don't believe what you believe. I believe that you are not answerable to God. And just it's a biggest joke on this planet, when you talk about God all the time and you are not consciously conscious that you have 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. , to which you are answerable. You should learn to answer 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. .

God or no God, whether you'll find God or God will find you, that is something in-between you and God. Nobody can interfere in that area. But one thing is very positive that you do have 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. and you are physically aware of that. For some of you God is abstract, something lives on the seventh sky, big eye with nineteen hands and twenty legs. God know what the hell you talk about. But it is something you have to reach. And you may not have your energy enough to reach that. But one thing is very handy to you and that is 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. .

If you get up in the morning, till you go to bed and at the time of going to bed you ask yourself, 'Was I true to my 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. ? Was it there, whatever I did, as many telephone calls I made, as many connections I had, as many things I said, was I conscious that my 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. was with me? Or you did talk unconsciously.' All the energy you waste, in which you are not consciously conscious and you are not answerable to your own 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. , is devilish. If you want to use the word devil. Devil word comes from the word 'de-will,' when your will is not there. Will to be truthful is not there, then you are a devil. It is not a Lucifer, poor guy, you want to snuck it in into the scriptures. And luckily it was good for me to study in a Catholic convent to begin with. To understand fundamental what Christianity teaches today.

It was my privilege that I was born on a Sikh family, but I have never studied in a Sikh school, I have studied in a convent. And that too Sacred Heart Convent, you know, they are very Catholic-e Catholic, the kind of, kind of Catholic you can't get out of it. And once you get into that kind of order of school, you know much better what you are talking about Christianity than the Christians. Because they stick everything on two things, either it is a hell or it's a Heaven, nothing in-between.

But when you become a student of 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. , you understand what is a devil. Devil is when you are de-willed, you have no will of your own. If you can be influenced by somebody and not by 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. , you are exactly devil, in the very literary sense of 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. . If I tell you just now, start jumping and you start jumping, you are nobody. But if I explain to you that now you have done this thing, you should do this thing, this will mean this to you and if you agree and start jumping, it is something. You has(have) the right, fundamental right, to be you. There is no reason, how great a man maybe that you should handover your self to any man, whatever the case maybe. All men of God and all prophets and all their angels and whatever you want to name them, they came here to tell you the way to God. They didn't tell you to hand yourself to them.

Between God and you, if you worship anybody else, you can have anybody as a guide, 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. , Son of God, daughter of God, whatever you want to call it. But that should be just a nucleus to direct you toward God. But remember, you have to be in that 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. . Wrong you do in your life is you never worship God; you worship the agent of God. And that is your main trouble. That's why, mostly, you are not consciously conscious that you have a 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. .

You are supposed to remember all the time, between you and God, there's no distance. Do you understand? And I know, you don't remember it. I know those time of my life when I never used to remember that too. So, I know you all very well. I mean, don't misunderstand that there was a time in my life, when I knew the divine is with me. Now, I play about with divine, I cut jokes, I do weird things to divine and divine does things for me. That is my state of achievement. And I know there was a time, when I used to be afraid of God too. Once I was called before Mother Superior and you know, when you go to Mother Superior, your buttocks ache for couple of days.

(Students laugh)

Have you gone through laying on the bench like that and come (?) four-five times? And you have a very tendered meat on the buttocks, it's really. And when you are a rich man's son and you are raised well, you don't want to get beaten up. And unfortunately, I was very intelligent also. So, there was nothing in the class or homework, I did something wrong and neither I said anything to any nun, except one day, I saw her in a habit stealing the bread.

So, I said, "Mother, how come this bread goes inside and never shows outside?"

(Students laugh)

So, she didn't answer, but she had a point in that. So, unfortunately one day, my housemother was on leave, I don't know where she went, unfortunate for me. And I won't go to the chapel, when the bell will ring, you know. Just now the bell rang and everybody of you came. So, I will naturally by my habit sit down and be calm at that moment. So, there was a complaint against me that I come late. So, anyway, complaint was geared up, to take me to that altar of beating, you know. So, when I went there, I said, "But what is the charge against me?"

They said, "Well, you know you always come late to the chapel, you don't believe in prayer, you don't come in, you come late."

I said, "Well, who can come when the bell rings? What is this bell for? This is a message of God." I said, 'When God is talking to me, why should I move? So, whenever the bell will ring, I'll sit down, I won't move. So, when you finish ringing the bell, then I come, so, I am never late."

They said, "Well, you have explanation for everything."

(Students laugh)

"But question is, when we ring the bell, you should be in the chapel."

I said, "Forget it"

(Students laugh)

"You can beat a skin out of me, I can't come when you ring this bell. It is to me, the message of God and I want to listen it, I want to enjoy it, I want to be in it. You all are phony, you are hypocrites and I am not."

So, anyway, there was a revolt in me the very first day I was born. I couldn't be shaped into anything. Whatever anybody will say to me, I'll say, 'prove it.' Funny thing was my mother. She was always in trouble because of me.

She'll say, "Let us pray to God."

I said, "Where?"

She said, "Pray to Him."

I said, "But pray to where? Where is God? Tell me where God is first. Is it in the north, is the south, is the west or the east; is He on the roof or under the ground, where is God?"

She said, "Everywhere."

I said, "Then why should we pray?"

"But you have to pray."

I said, "Forget it. Prayer is God, why to do it?"

She said, "Oh-ho, ho, ho, I do not know what to answer you, but you know it is required."

I said, "Who told you that?"

(Students laugh)

"My mother."

I said, "Then, whom, who she was told?"

"By her mother."

I said, "(?) somebody there was no mother, then who told?"

So, she, she said, "All right, you will not eat if you'll not pray."

I said, "Well, that is what they call is dictatorship."

(Students laugh)

"Convince me why I do the prayer."

So, one day, she got very upset, she said, "All right, you tell me why should we pray?"

I said, "Because it will sanctify ourself. I pray, because God made me to eat, otherwise, I do not have the capacity to eat, in spite of the fact that servant has put the food before me. I'll pray as a selfish man, not as a selfless man. Prayer is for selfish purposes, prayer is not for selfless purposes."

Now, this did not suit the philosophy, for all what those oldies have learned all their lifetime. So, my papa got mad, he said, "But what is this ceremony you are teaching to us. This is something very weirdo stuff. What are you talking about?"

I said, "I am not talking something very upside down, I am telling you the truth. God is everywhere, but God is in the food too. God is in my teeth, which are going to chew this food. And suppose my this jaw get stuck and I can't eat, I want to eat. So, my jaw should move right, I want to pray."

What is a prayer? It took me about nine years to search what prayer is. Prayer is nothing but Unison of 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. into the relevant existence of the self to Infinity. And it's a cosmic law. When you do the prayer, you don't please the God, not a bit. God is very happy, happy person. It doesn't need you are calling on Him, when you call on somebody, 'give me ten dollars,' he's going to lose ten dollars. You understand what I mean? Prayer is self-purification.

You know, have you seen that thing, what they call that, whoever makes it, the company, gur, gur, gur, gur, gur, the carpets and everything is cleaned?

Student: (------)

YB: Vacuum cleaner?

Student: (------)

YB: Yeah. What is that? That keeps the house clean; keep your rugs clean. You have to do it everyday. Why you do it everyday? By natural phenomena dust comes in, in spite of your windows and curtains and the all stuff. As that cleaning is essential. Though this room looks very clean, but still you will clean it, to remove the unseen dirt. If you don't remove the unseen dirt, after a while it'll become seen dirt. So, cleaning is very essential. Exactly, prayer is nothing but cleaning the 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. , so, it can become radiant. It is a total selfish trip, only the most selfish pray the most.

When you are not conscious of yourself and you are not aware of yourself and you are not respectful of yourself, you do not want to preserve yourself, that is the only time we do, do not do the prayer.

Prayer is no favor to God and prayer is no favor to Church or to any reverent also. Prayer is a systematic system, in which you have learned that cleanliness is Godliness and 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. should be clean and so radiant that it should be with you. To keep 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. with you, you got to pray. But what you know is, 'well, I'll pray to God and God is going to send you things.' Forget it. God is going to send you things anyway, whether you pray or not. God is not an accountant like you. And God has abundance; He's not stingy like you either. And He's not afraid too. These are all your animal faculties, which you practice as a human body.

I have seen in this country a very funny thing. If you go to somebody's house and you are uninvited or they do not know couple of days ahead of you, doesn't matter how the rich a person is. I have got my students who are multi, multimillionaires and they are the biggest idiots I have got. They are so phony; they do not know how to serve. They do not here know how to feed.

It's very, it was very strange to me to begin with, that you walk into any house and you sit there and they won't offer you a thing, except, 'Would you like to have a Coca Cola,' or something like that. And then they feel that it's taxing on their refrigerator. It was so foreign to me. I couldn't believe it. Whereas the culture I come from, even husband and wife are quarreling, one is eyes are blue, other neck is bleeding with hit and this. But if they know the guest has come, they start smiling and start preparing themself to feed somebody. Now, coming from A to Z, it was very, very lonely as far as I was concerned.

Here you have a funniest system. I went to New York as a guest of a family. I stood fifteen minutes watching them juggling the situation, where somebody should sit, which chair on what. Finally, I just pulled one chair, I said, "Here I sit, rest can distribute themself."

I don't know whether it's a status thing or it's non-status thing. But not very conscious that food is to nurse the body and it is the most divine moment of life. Food you cannot eat, if you want to eat. Food you eat that much, which God allows you to eat. You maybe prepared, ready to eat the meals, something may happen, you have to leave the whole thing, be diverted to the other side. That is why, when the food comes before you, you do the prayer. Prayer is, 'Almighty God, you have been very kind to give me this nursing food for the day. Now, do one favor more, digest it and then for God sake in Thy name I pray, eliminate it.'

(Students laugh)

If that food, which you eat, you spend fifteen dollars, if doesn't come out of you, it can become poison. And that is first 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. . Whosoever does not eliminate food properly and does not eliminate on regular basis and whatever you eliminate, if that sink, you are sick. Because whatever comes out of your body through as a stool, you call it in medical term, should be lighter than water. And if your apana energy is all right, then food, which eliminate through you body, should be lighter than water. It must swim; it must not sink. If it sinks, your apanas are not functioning right and you are insane, you are irritated. You cannot think right, you cannot sleep right and you cannot breathe right. Three things will happen to you.

Now, think about it. A person, who does not pass his stool right and does not pass his urine right, cannot meditate, period. He cannot do the prayer also, because the central vagus nerve is connected in the, in the, in this cantaloupe. So, until the lower area is not clean, there is a tremendous pressure on it and you can't do anything in the systematic and calm manner. So, my dear friend, there's no use of a selective beautiful costly food. What is required is, you must eat, which you can digest. And you must eat, which must come within twenty-four hours of your eating. And if you want to check, take one meal and take beets with it, the red beets. And check when you and then don't eat beets in-between. And check when you go to bathroom, when the beets show up. It will exactly give you the time and space. And if within two twenty-four hours you go to clean yourself and the beets don't show up, your digestive system is in trouble. And that means you cannot concentrate.

Number two; there is another problem with you as western. You are very shy of going to the urinals. All of you do not feel that it is a must of the body. Under no circumstances one should develop the pressure on the bladder, come what may. If you hold urine in the bladder, the fluctuation of water, which has been taken out to the bladder and the body sometime needs the water, it has a system that it can get the bladder that already, which is in the form of urine, into the system back. And that is not healthy at all. But body has a survival system. Therefore, when you just feel little bit urge to go to the restroom, you should immediately go and that you should develop as a habit.

To keep your system clean, you should be normally in a habit to drink lot of water. Normally, some of you don't drink water at all or once a while. Then you think, water is substituted either with the wine or the Coca Cola or this and that, whatever you do. Now, this is how the eating should be. The stomach is divided into four areas. One for air, one for water and one for food and one empty to let it work.

'Alap ahaar sulap see nindra.'

Eat little and sleep little.

You have been taught a funny thing; sleep eight hours. I do not know how you do that. Because when you sleep that long, your breath become shorter and short breath is the cause of every sickness known to the man. Look, if I would not have been a yogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , the way I work and hassle through time and space, I would have died long ago. But I know the secret that I nap. And that is what body requires. Body requires immediate sleep, shuniyaShuniyaa , Shuniya A state of the mind and consciousness where the ego is brought to zero or complete stillness. There a power exists. It is the fundamental power of a Kundalini Yoga teacher. When you become shuniaa then the One will carry you. You do not grasp or act. With folded hands you "are not." It is then that Nature acts for you. . That moment of sleep is sleep, when you do not know who you are, where you are and what you are. Otherwise, curling around in the bed and being a mammu-jammu and snoring and dreaming is no sleeping.

One subject I cannot talk to you, I do not know how to dream and never I have dreamed in my life. So, I do not know what to say about. But people who dream, they waste lot of energy. It happens only when your subconscious is a filled with lot of garbage. And it is a outlet of the subconscious.

Now, you must understand, at a certain age you start becoming fat. Specially, when you eat meat. That's very normal. You must understand the point of health. When you are eighteen year old, if you remember your weight; that is the weight you must maintain. And your body starts retaining water and you start becoming fatter and fatter and fatter. You think you are healthy; you are not.

And there's a procedure to be alive. Whenever you want to do the dieting, don't fast and don't feast. It's a very simple procedure. Go on raw vegetables, you'll be all right. Raw vegetables; cucumbers, red radishes, white radishes, all that stuff, which you don't like. It doesn't matter what your age is, whenever celery, lot of, got lot of good things.

Now, to compensate vitamin B12 and other vitamins, you must know how to make a homemade yogurt. It is essential for the bacteria, specially, for a woman, as well as for a man. So, if you add to your diet a cup of homemade yogurt and every three days, what you call it, sour yogurt. Sour yogurt is a very systematic system in spiritual word. They take the yogurt and they keep it covered, but not in a refrigerator. So, it becomes yellowish sour. The fragmentation in it develops vitamin B12, which is very essential, which body doesn't create. So, you need that for a complete nutritious body.

And if you just keep your food on the lighter part of yourself, you will have three things to your advantage. You will normally not become sick, you will live very long and you will live very healthy. Heavy food, which does not come out of the body in twelve hours, takes most of the body energy to digest and get out. When the apana, the eliminate force is worked out to workout the system, the pranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. do not match up. PranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. means the life force; apana means the eliminating force. When the eliminate force is over working the elementary force, the pranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. force does not match up and therefore the breath become shorter and shorter. And person becomes sicker and sicker.

Work does not kill you, food does. God does not kill you, food does. Food is your first and the last enemy. If you take it more than you can have to take, then it takes all the energy and all the juices, just to get eliminated. And in the realm of 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. you should be conscious that you are alive to only eat. And eat that much, which you can totally digest.

Now, you show the sign of old age. Now, if you eat cucumber and in the morning have a glass of cucumber juice, you will never show up the old age. But it's a constant process. If you eat the heart of the celery, there's no chance in the world you'll have heart attack. You know the golden heart of the celery? Have you seen that bunch, that stuff inside? If you take the radishes, which is about twenty cents a bunch, those red radishes, you won't have a liver problem.

God has created nothing around you, which is useless. It is your affair, which makes things, which are like nectar and you turn them into poison. Now, suppose the example of chocolate cake, immediately shoot up the sugar in your body and you cannot judge yourself consciously to be conscious, for at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours. Now, just tell me, by drinking wine only, one does not become high.

Many of you might have read the book that blue babies, blue sugar, sugar blues. And in this country there is a funny disease. Everybody is a hypoglycemic. What happens is, when you are little children, you are given so much candy that your pancreas as a habit have learned to overact. When you become big, you eat less sugar, but pancreas don't stop functioning, at the same rate as they were doing to survive. So, the first symptom is, you get to get to hypoglycemic. Now, as a hypoglycemic, you are supposed to eat every two-hour. Then you become fat. So, it is such a vicious circle that nobody knows what to do.

Life is a challenge for those who overeat. Life is a joy for those, who just eat. If you cannot know what to eat, remember the old Christian saying, bread and water. Remember that? Which bread? Not, which you bake. That's not the bread. I tell you what bread is. Take all the roots. Roots are ginger, garlic and onion. Write down this formula, you may not use it ever, but just for the sake of your health, sometime you may try it. Ginger, garlic, onion or any such thing, which grows in the ground are called roots, beetroots. And all that stuff, which grows in the ground and the green, is on the top. That all edibles can be taken into the dough and totally mixed up. And then you can bake the bread. One-third of the flour and two-third of the other stuff. That is called meditative bread.

And after that bread is made, you slice it and then leave it outside. In four days it will become like a stone, as hard as stone is. Then you take the toast of that bread and then chew it. You need real teeth for that. And then live on that bread and don't drink water in-between. That is why some people say, 'drink water later.' Normally, either you drink water first or drink water later. But when you eat that bread, in-between you must not drink water. Whatever your age is, you'll beat it by twenty to thirty years in appearance, as well as in strength.

And is a simple thing to do. It is the simplest thing to live long, it's a simplest thing to live healthy, it is a simplest thing to eliminate all the poisons of the body. Feel energetic, do your work and live graciously. And it is cheap, specially, in these days when the inflation is hitting us. But God, you know, what you do? You take one slice, put another slice of butter on it and then you do hu and it goes into the stomach and you have a, got a tooth set right there, which will (?). And then you become pregnant all the time you know, without anything, big bellies. Or your food if does not retain water, you do not swell up on the belly, you remain skinny, you look pretty, but you have no energy, because the body consume all the energy to eliminate.

Remember the law of Yoga, pranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. and apana has to be in equal balance, before you can concentrate. And what is concentration? Concentration is a behavior, where you can tolerate any nonsense and still make the sense. It is called pratyahar, where you can squeeze yourself to be very little, so that big bombardment of the time and space bypass you.

I remember somebody, whom I taught the science of pratyahar. His wife used to yell and scream and go crazy and he will just sit down, like that turtle, which pulls his neck inside. And anything happens on the world, doesn't bother. After two weeks his wife learned nothing works out, she became silent also.

This projected energy, which you take it out in anger, in yelling, in screaming, in dealing with life, is not required. Talk calmly and talk specifically, you'll be very effective. Talk just thinking that you are talking from the throat. That is where the KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. is. When it rises from the heart, your quality should be, you should be very compassionate. Compassionate person is that who puts himself or herself in other man's position. So, you will never talk from hatred, you will never talk out of jealousy, you will never talk out of insecurity. Because one who created you,

'Jab dant na thay tho doodh deey-o, Jab daant deey-e tho aann na dega.'

When He gave you birth, He gave you the milk from the bosom of the mother and turned her blood into milk. If He could take your care at that time, now, when He has given you teeth, won't He give you food?

But question is you don't have faith in God and you don't think God can work for you and that is your fundamental problem.

I do not represent in America anything, but I am very proud to be American. I have presented a very great phenomena in this country. When I moved in this country, I told everybody, 'I shall not drive, I shall be driven; I shall not do this, it will happen for me.' People thought I was the craziest guy in the world. My friends totally freaked out, they thought I am going to be freeloader. And why should it happen?

I said to them, "Look folks, when I was in India I was a government officer. I have a chauffer driven limousine at my disposal. I had one dozen of servants to look after me. Now, I am going to enter the service of God, I am not going to do a thing."

They said, "You will die with hunger, you are useless, you do not know, this is America, here everybody work."

I said, "I'll work, work I'll do. But I'll do the kind of work, which I am supposed to do."

They said, "All right, today you have to go to YMCA to give lecture. I am not going to drive you. We'll see how you reach."

I said, "In a car."

"Forget it, there's no arrangement."

I said, "I know, you are supposed to drive me, you are telling me you are not driving me, right? So, I am going to sit and rock on this chair."

"You mean you are not going to do your lecture in the YMCA in Alhambra?"

I said, "Absolutely I'll be lecturing when I have to lecture. And I'll be there."

"How can you be there?"

I said, "I don't know, neither you know; you are supposed to drive me, this is what you promised, right? And now you are backing off, fine. So, I'll sit on a rocking chair, in this man's house, who was my friend and rock for a while and after that the bell will ring."

He said, "Who is this?"

I said, "Don't worry, must be my carrier."

"How do you know?"

I said, "Well, I have to go, you know, time wise I should be there."

(Students laugh)

"So, don't you know, some car has to come and then there'll come a yoga student, a pretty good hippy, with a big truck."

"YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. is in?"

He said, "Yeah. What you come for?"

"I don't know what I come for."

(Students laugh)

"Does he need me?"

He said, "Yeah, he needs you."

Then he'll say, "All right, let me give you a lift."

I say, "No, now I don't want to sit in your Cadillac, I'll sit in that truck, you meet me there."

So, I'll sit in that very dirty truck, which does not have any mudguard and top is tied down with a knot and you know, those kind of trucks, these kid used to use. And it will doesn't need any harm, it will horn, it will go, gurr, gurr, gurr, gurr, gurr, gurr, everybody, nobody can sleep in the vicinity.

(Students laugh)

So, but, it will reach me in the YMCA on time. So, there was our friend, he was waiting, so I'll go and lecture. But my friend, friend won't appear. What happened? I'll finish the lecture, I'll give question, answer, thereafter I run around, look around, he's not there. Then I'll see the same guy, I said, "Well, sonny, you got to reach me back."

He said, "Fine with me sir, come on."

So, I'll sit back in the truck and on the way I'll find him, his Cadillac on that, what they call it? Hydraulic system.

I said, "Well, what happened?"

He said, "I don't know, it stops on the way."

(Students laugh)

I said, "You know why didn't you go to Alhambra? Because it was not the divine sanction that you should listen to my great lecture."

(Students laugh)

And lot of funny things. I used to teach in one of the center. And you know, I am a vegetarian. And a very funny kind of vegetarian. So, one day I was there and this director, he used to take care of me very affectionately.

He said, "YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. , today you have to fast."

I said, "No way. I don't believe in fasting. Now, I don't believe in feasting, why should I fast? I must eat."

He said, "Well, you know, it is George Washington long weekend and it's Monday and the key to the refrigerator is gone, that the director lady who was supposed to cook is gone. And the money is not with me, neither with you."

I said, "That's true, both of us without money."

And he said, "Around there is no shop opened too, so, water fast."

I said, "My friend, warm food will come. All I have to do is to make my stomach hungry. So, don't bother me, so, we'll sit down and talk and then I'll say, okay, now, I am going to sleep, but if food comes, don't eat by yourself, wake me up."

So, folk, by the time I got up, those jingle bells woke me up. And there was this guy with two Mexican enchiladas and those beans and all that stuff, you remember? Anyway, we both ate. And he was very curious, he asked, "How come you brought the food for YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. ?"

He said, "You know, it is a long weekend and I lost the key of my kitchen. So, I called these Mexican friend of mine and their restaurant was closed, so, they said, 'Come on, we have a food in the house.' And I liked that food and I thought YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. likes this too. So, I know he doesn't eat alone, so, I brought two take home orders from them and I brought it."

And I'll say, "Look, Mario, didn't I tell you, warm, good vegetarian food shall appear at the time when we have to eat."

So, finally, Mario got converted to my ideas. He started believing that God works. So, one day, his cousin came. So, he stayed with us for a while and he adapted this idea very fast. So, one day he asked me, he said, "Sir, I am here a visitor."

He was from South America.

"And I cannot live in this country more than a month more, but I don't want to leave you. I can't work here. But your philosophy is, 'you must work with the sweat of brow before you eat.' Now, I am living off you, I don't wanted to stay here."

I said, "Well, you can do some work, you..."

Side B

She used to work in the garden too. So, they became friends. And one fine day, they declared to us they are getting married. So, I said to him, I said, "Look, your immigration problem is solved."

(Students laugh)

He said, "But not my money problem."

And she said, "Why not? I have got a trust, out of which I get eighty thousand dollar a year; I do not know what to do. We can both live."

And he asked me, he said, "Sir, why it happened to us?"

I said, "Now, God has solved your problems. But now, dedicate the life towards God."

They both became very good people and they, he went back to South America, to his country and he opened up a poor man's hospital. And so much that man did well that he studied to be a doctor, just to help his people. God has plan for everybody. It works only for those, who are consciously conscious that they believe, trust and live for God.

Now, you will ask me a question, "What is God, God, you are talking about?"

My folks, God is nothing but tomorrow. God is Unknown of every known. God is not the mystery; God is the reality, which you will face tomorrow. And those who have today shall have tomorrow. And if they have today as infinite today, as great today, granted, tomorrow shall be the greatest.

It is a state of mind, which has to be developed to this thinking process that you are a part of God and God is whole of you. It is a mental process. Because you are not body, you are not the mind, you are not soul; you are the cause of these three getting together. Had you been soul, you would have been free. Why you are not free? Because you are not soul.

All philosophies so far ended on one area, that you are a soul. I am telling you, that is not true, how weird it looks. It does not fit into the process. You are not the soul, you are not the body, you are not the mind; you are that you, which causes these three to be together. Therefore, you must master your mind, you must master your body and you must master your soul.

What is your soul? It is your radiance. What is your mind? It is your thought form. And what is your body? It is your existence of your Id, identity.

Keep body very young. And the best way to eat body young, keep body young is to eat young. So, normally, in the world of today, if you can live on raw vegetables, yogurt, raw vegetables, yogurt and lot of water and also add to your food, what they call is meditative bread.

Why we call it meditative bread? Because there is a system in your life. This jaw of yours wants to move all the time. That's why lot of you do lot of talking. So, when it doesn't want to move, you don't want to move it, the stomach start secreting. So, when the stomach secretes, there is lot of juice there, so, jaw has to move to fill that up. But if the jaw knows that it has to grind that stone like bread, it will hardly like to move. And you won't like to talk. And when you don't talk, you become mysterious. When you become mysterious, people will like to look to you and that's what you need attention, you get the attention.

(Students laugh)

That is the simplest way to become divine. There are two ways.

(YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. Bhajan and students laugh)

There are two ways. One-way is talk straight, the other way is don't talk. The problem in our life comes when we talk round about, you know. We don't make friends that way; we make mostly enemies, because we talk lies. We don't mean what we say. We say it as a ritual. We talk phony. Our words were phony, we become phony and our prayer become phony. That is why our prayers are not answered.

If you sometime hear me praying, you will say, 'what a junk, what he's talking about?' That is, this is how I pray, 'God, you have done a blunder of creating me. Now look, do something to make me look nice.' That's the kind of prayer I do. It's very realistic, it's very satisfying, it's very original, it is communicative, it is the language of two buddies. I never use those big words and I don't believe in that. I know God is equally tie in me as I am tie in God. How can it be that you are not careful about your children? You are always careful, you are always attached, you are always in them. And if we are children of God, then why can't God be tie in, in us? Simply we are not consciously conscious that that tie exist.

There is a whole philosophy and I don't want to blame anybody. But there are culprits for that, who separated man from God. These are the middlemen. Lot of yogisYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , swamisSwami Master. and reverends, and all that what you call it, they took upon themself that they have the key to the house of God and you guys are just sinners. It is the middleman, which cause this problem. For thousands of year this middleman is doing his job very well. So, a common man believes that he cannot even talk to God. So, you have lost the faith of prayer, whereas you are the prayer. There is no need for you to be ritualistic, just be real, just like that girl.

There was a one girl, she was really very ugly. She was, whatever you want to call it.

She asked me, "Will I ever get married?"

I said, "Why not? What is wrong with you?"

She said, "I am ugly."

I said, "Who told you?"

"Everybody."

I said, "Who's everybody?"

She said, "People."

I said, "You are also people. Why don't you tell yourself you are beautiful?"

She said, "If you say so. What should I tell myself?"

I said, "Just tell yourself you are beautiful."

You know funniest thing what happened? She lost all her weight. Just by telling herself beautiful, she stopped retaining water, she totally became skinny, very charming, wonderful.

I said, "Are you dieting?"

She said, "No, I eat lot."

"But what happened to your all weight?"

Because she was under no stress, she was totally relaxed and she became as she should have been.

Majority of your problems in your life are, when you limit yourself, you restrict yourself under stress and strain, because you hassle to be something, which you are not. You want to reach out for things; you don't want things to reach out for you. And that is the painful life you live. Don't run after things, let things run after you. That is the happiest way of living. If you will run after thing, God knows how long you can run. But if everything will run to you, you'll be living in peace and in satisfaction. That is how I started my life.

I came to America and I gave them a message, I said, "I'll share with you the technical way of life, how to be healthy, happy and holy."

That is how 3HO came.

I said, "I'll teach you the yoga of all yogas, the 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. 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. . I'll, I'll practice with you the Tantric Yoga, through which you can clean your subconscious anytime. And then I want you to be you and not me."

And that is how it started. Lot of young people came and they practiced. And the funniest thing is, I never told anybody to do what. It all happened.

And even still today, that gentleman is sitting here, his father came to me, he said, "Hey, you are the biggest sale man on this Earth."

I said, "What do I sell?"

He said, "You know, my son never listens to me, but he totally listens to you."

I said, "That's his problem, because I don't tell him anything."

My procedure of life is, if God has given you children; don't think as your property. Children are not your property. You are the trustees and God has given you certain souls in trust. Don't teach them discipline, but teach them values, they will love discipline. If you teach your children discipline, they will revolt, I can bet with you. That's why today, children leave parents and they don't want to talk to them, because all the time you goad them. Give them values. Look how many children I have got, about millions of them, people who listen to me. What I tell them? Nothing.

One thing I know, it is better to live great, so that, you can die great, in-between there is nothing. Remember, life is a privilege; death is your right. So, enjoy the privilege and don't ask for your rights. Do you understand? And life is beautiful, you want to live, more you live, more you enjoy. Because each day is tomorrow, which you discover your Unknown, that is why you want to live. Not that you want to drag on. Living is beautiful. Because it is a privilege, it is a gift. Each day is gift of God. And each day you discover your Unknown. And when you discover your Unknown, you feel good about yourself. And when you feel good about yourself, you want to feel more good about yourself. Provided you have not bloated yourself with lot of food.

I do not understand, why people drink and bloat themself with this booze and drinking and smoking and all that stuff. God knows why. I can't believe. Because it will lead us nowhere. I have sympathy for them, because they do not have the trust of energy from within. They need the stimulant from outside. Otherwise as a human being you can enjoy your life by relaxing. And I do not know, 'four bourbon on rock,' can relax you. What is that life, that the evening you have to drink? In the morning, you have to wake your eyes either with your two fingers or with cup of coffee.

When there is a hard telephone. You know funny thing. I have a friend. He is a executive, big boss. Sometime I used to visit him, now, I don't go. He's too nervous, he will have one pill handy. When there'll be some telephone and the secretary will say, "There's a phone call from New York."

He will take the pill and water and say, "Hello."

I said, "Why you do it?"

He said, "Sometime the telephones are full of stress, I can't stand it."

I said, "Why you bother? You are on the seventh story, open the window, jump out."

(Students laugh)

"Why you are hassling? You are no human being, you baboon. You sit here for what? Sit as a grace of God, sit as a radiance of God, sit as a joyful person, enjoy, have fun. What the hell you are doing to yourself?"

That's what we do. We like to makeup for everything. We put makeup, we like to have makeup, we makeup for everything. Folks, makeup is a makeup, makeup is not reality. By putting lipstick you are serving no cause. Understand, your lips are supposed to be like the lipstick. But if circulation is poor and putting that color on your lips, you want to compensate, forget it. I appreciate your desire to have rosy lips. But don't forget, they can be so by natural efforts.

Do you understand, that in your life there is two part of you. One is the most beautiful part of you and one is the ugly part of you. Question is, which part of you want to develop? Your greatest strength lies in your kindness. You are mankind, be kind to everybody. And it doesn't take lot of strength. Kindness is your genuine self. What will happen to you, if you'll be kind? I give you this message. When you'll be kind, you'll be relaxed. When you'll be kind, you'll be virtuous. When you will be kind, you need not love God, but God shall love you. When God shall love you, everybody shall love you. Kindness is the foundation of all spirits. And you can be unkind to anybody you like. And when you'll be unkind, it will kill your spirit and it will bring you misfortune.

Remember the science of your brain. Intellect releases thought, thought releases emotion; intellect releases thought, thought releases emotion. Emotions has two way to go. One is commotion, neurosis, patterns and misery; the other is devotion, compassion, sacrifice, happiness. Choose any path you like. It doesn't matter you are a Christian, you are a Buddhist, you are a Jew, you are a Sikh, you are a Hindu, you are a Moslem, doesn't mean a thing. This is the way it works. And this is the way it shall be, whether you like it or you don't.

To become obnoxious or to be unkind or to misbehave, it is not human. I have a trouble, I suffered a lot, I suffered a lot. And lot of time people tell me, "But why don't you say no?"

What should I do? I do not know how to say it. Have I suffered too much? No, not too much. I do get into problems, but that is not suffering. That is actually strength of my 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 I did my best in the name of God. I kept my heart open, I served to my best of ability, I did what I was supposed to do. If the other person didn't do, it is the will of God and His will is done, I have no problem. That is a simple paraphernalia of kindness.

You become very rigid with God. You have your own rules, do's and don'ts. You think God in your fashion. You try to mold God in your ways; God molded you out, you cannot mould God. Part cannot be whole, whole into existent, it cannot represent the totality, isn't the law of geometry? You are a part of God, you are not a whole God; you are not a whole lot. Therefore, be what you are. You are a little teeny tiny creature, whose existence is because of the radiance of God. And your radiance is your beauty, it is your joy, it is your happiness. And remember, as you radiant are, as things will come to you.

Student: (?) doctor Wahe Wahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. GuruWahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. Guru 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. (?).

YB: Doctor, run. This little doctor is the best surgeon, in the young age we have in United States. And you know how he became a surgeon? One day he asked me, he was student, one day asked me, 'what should he be?'

I said, "Become doctor."

"What kind of doctor?"

I said, "Surgeon."

"Why?"

I said, "If I have to have somebody to cut me up, it should be you."

That's it.

(Student laughs)

That's it folks.

(Student laughs)

And he's such a good surgeon you can't believe it. Even his superiors, if they want to get sometime something done, they ask him to do it. He was specially honored last year. And he's a simple guy, but very one pointed. He's so one pointed, he looks at the patients, they give him the chart, but his intuition tell him, this chart is wrong. He say, "Is it the chart of this person?"

They check it out, they say, "No, we'll bring you the other one."

Very intuitive. He believes that God heals through him.

You know what is a belief? Faith moves the mountains, otherwise stones are heavier, you can't move a stone. You have to have faith in God. And what is God? God is your Unknown Infinity. And when you believe in Infinity, there's no way that you can dry out.

You know, why you become old and start looking ugly? Because you start believing you are old. If you believe in God, you cannot look ugly. I have seen my grandfather, he was very, very old by the earthly years, but God, he was a young, radiant boy. I used to ask him, "Grandpa, you look so healthy and so radiant, what you do? Do you eat something in secret, which we don't know?"

He said, "No, I don't believe I am old. I only believe I am alive. I have lived eighty-two years son, I have not wasted them."

Just this belief, just this belief that you live by the grace of God, can make you radiant. Can you believe that? When you stare in the mirror, don't think how beautiful you want to be, just think how beautiful is your Maker and Designer. That's a meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. . I am not saying don't look into the mirror. Look into the mirror and thank your Creator.

Once I was in the, speaking in the interfaith communion of these interfaith ladies conference, herein. There was a one question, "What is the best thing, which has happened to you in your life?"

I answered, "The best thing, which happened to me today in my life is that I am living today. There's nothing more best, which can happen to anybody."

Each day of living day is the best, which can, in spite of all the hassles. You believe it or not, there's no weird person in hassling than me. Early in the morning I start on the phone and people start telling me their whole negative things. I am supposed to listen and counsel them back, 'it is going to be all right.' And I know and hear things, which you can't even think about. But I have one faith, one, who has given the problem, must have given the solution first. I know, no wisdom can find out the solution. But one wisdom thing is about this thing, whosoever has given you a problem, has also found out the solution first. It is only a puzzle game, find it. Now, if you find it, it will take time; if you let Him find it for you, it will take no time.

When problem hit me, I don't hit back at the problem, I hit back at the one who gave me the problem. And my hitting back is, I sit down, I say, 'Solve it, go to hell, I am not going to move.' And I tell you, I never move, everything moves around me.

What happened, I went to Canada. I went to Canada thinking that I have my, that immigration papers, everything with me. So, then the officer told me, 'well, I can go.' Because I wanted to see Niagara Fall on the other side. But when I came back, the shift changed. And God, they became totally demons.

"Who are you? What are you coming in for? Get out of the Canadian side."

I said, "How can I get out the Canadian side, I am American. And I have to teach in the university in the evening, what should I do over there?"

"Oh, where are your papers?"

I said, "Well, I used to think I have them, they are not there, period."

"Oh, we can't let you in."

I said, "Why not?"

So, one officer said, "I don't know, you cannot be allowed entry into United States."

I said, "Perfect, then I am sitting here, neither I am going to go that side, nor I am going to go this side, I am going to sit here."

(Student laughs)

"But what you'll do here?"

I said, "Nothing, I'll be counting my buck, I am counting my money."

He said, "How come?"

I said, "You know, today if I'll speech in, give a speech in Buffalo University, I'll make lot of money, right? I'll not speak, that is loss. Then I'll miss my plane, then I have to go to New York to teach, I'll miss that; then I have to reach Los Angeles and teach, I'll miss that. But somehow I'll reach and then I'll sue you for all that money."

(Student laughs)

"How can you sue me?"

I said, "Well, it's a human err is human, papers are lost, paper are lost. You check it out, call Los Angeles, find it out, don't detain me, you are just crazy."

He said, "But what should I do?"

I said, "I'll tell you."

"But how can you tell me?"

I said, "Fool, I have been intelligence officer for eighteen years myself, I tell you how to solve it."

"Tell me."

I said, "You know, you give that little slip called entry slip."

"Fine."

I said, "Fill it for me, get my signature, I'll go Los Angeles, turn it in and they will send you the immigration notice, I am all right."

"But how you know it?"

I said, "I know. This is what they do, when people lose papers."

"Did you ever lost it before?"

I said, "No, but my friend did."

He said, "Okay, okay, okay, I, I remember, I know there is a procedure."

I said, "Fine, if there's a procedure."

So, he filled on those form, he said, "Sign it here and this is you and you go in and turn it in Los Angeles."

Oh, I came in here, I gave it, they said, "All right, it's okay."

But all it took is little kindness for him to do it. First of all, he felt I am very weirdo, somebody, because I don't dress normally like him. I didn't have a pant or a coat or that kind of stuff. He couldn't believe that my kind of stuff can be invited in a university to speak.

Same thing happened. I came from London. I tell you, how kindness and unkindness can switch places. And there was an officer, he opened my box, he said, "What is this?"

I said, "Sweaters."

"For what?"

I said, "For my staff."

"How many they are?"

I said, "That many."

He said, "Twenty dollar each, but you declared nothing less than hundred dollar."

I said, "Wait a minute, I have not spent twenty dollars for anybody."

He said, "No, no, no, no, I'll charge my rate."

I said, "Wait, I tell you something. There's no fun to be obnoxious, I know what I paid and I know they are not that costly. You do one thing, you pick them all up, bundle them and seize them. When I go Los Angeles, I'll take care of them and then you will come to deliver me, don't worry about it. Because I know lot of buttons in this country too."

Well, when he found me that I am not talking and I am pretty stiff on it, he said, "Let me check with my officer."

I said, "Go ahead."

When the officer came, I said, "Before he talks to you I'll like to talk to you."

He said, "What is it?"

I said, "This guy feels I am a Arab and I know he's a Jew."

(Students laugh)

"And he's trying to give me a bad time. I am not a Arab. So, please tell him I am not a Arab and that's all it takes. And let my these sweaters go, because they are within the range of the money."

Oh, he said, "All right, there are lot of people waiting out for him, he's no Arab, what are you doing with him?"

"Sir, but these are the sweaters."

I said, "These are the sweaters, they don't cost that much money and you have not to hassle. Just believe there are some people who shall speak truth."

He said, "But how do I know?"

Luckily, when we were looking into those sweaters, that came that paper, where it was written how much we paid for the whole lot.

I said, "Here you go."

There was nothing to do to it.

In life, sometime it is called premeditative negative notion. Out of your past experience, you premeditatively meditate the things like this are Arabs, things like this are Jews, things like this are Christian, thing like this are this. It is your bent of mind. Mostly, you don't deal with things as they come to you. And it is the most funny thing in life. Because you premeditate, therefore you cannot meditate. That becomes your blocked conscious. And moment your conscious is blocked, whatever you are, you are just a living unhappy human being. Therefore, please train yourself not to premeditate. Take things as they come to you and investigate through the angle of your kindness, how much you can accommodate. You will find total goodness around you.

Remember, life is a virtue, life is a joy, life is meant to be living. And it is God's will that you must live, because none of you can live by his own force. If you have to live on God's force, then God wants you to live, then please do a favor to yourself, just live. And don't create subconscious blocks.

All what has been created is by the will of God. All what is not there is by the will of God. All what that shall be, is and ever shall be, is nothing but truth. There's no lie in this world. Because the Creator of this world is truth, therefore, whatever has been created is truth. Does it shock you?

Unfortunately, you have been told this whole world is a lie and you are the sinner and you are born in a sin, therefore, my words are just going over your head. No, my friends, this world is the creation of the truth, therefore, it must be truth. And living is nothing but experiencing the truth.

How you can do it? You can do it, if you can develop yourself. How you can develop yourself? For that we'll give you a few minutes break and then you come in and then we'll share with you one meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. , so that you put you on a one practical start. And thereafter, I'll quit.

Share with you a very simple technique. There are lot of ways to meditate, to project your own power. And there are millions of MantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. , man made God made, everything whatever you want to call it. And I don’t want to go into the hassle of it. But there is a very simple way of meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. . And it works. But the only problem is, we don’t charge lot of money for it, so people don’t practice it. That is the problem.

There are five basic sounds, they call them eternal sounds, Sa, Sa-a, Ta-a, Na-a, Ma-a. These are the five basic sounds. So what we do is, we tell everybody to just do like this, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma. If you do it for five minutes, Sa Ta Na Ma, and speak with a loud tongue, Sa Ta Na Ma, and then you speak in a whisper which is lover’s language, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma and then go silently and say, it takes fifteen minutes. So do it fifteen minutes this way and then fifteen minutes that way, five minutes silence, five minutes whisper, five minutes loud. It will take thirty minutes and then inhale deep and stretch. It will take one more minute and you are on your way. It works. It works with a layman and it shall work even with the highest practitioner in any science of yoga. What it does is, it will arouse the powers of Infinity which is the Divinity of KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. in you but it will settle it back through all the centers giving you a equilibrium. And that is how it works.

The technique is when you press these two fingers you must put about ten to fifteen pounds pressure per square inch. So it has to be Sa, Ta, Na, Ma. Not like, (?), that won’t work, don’t blame me for that. I can tell you what the technique is and if you do it right it will work right. If you don’t do it right it shall not work. And have no favor to anybody.

You have two brains. Eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere. You have two nostril, left nostril, right nostril. When your left nostril work, right side of the brain work. When your right nostril work left side of the brain work. They almost supplement each other. But these are the ten antennas which you have.

I am so bugged at these idiots who are trying to make God a mystery and making fool of everybody that I started teaching this as a science in universities. That was my lashing back. I don’t believe that the man of God should have a trademark or he should hide anything from any other human being. I believe that I was very virtuous that one great man of God shared this knowledge with me and I must in return should share it with everybody. And I fanatically believe that whatever I have, it is my religious duty that I must share with anybody without caste, creed, religion, skin, color, money, richness, poverty, doesn’t mean a thing. I believe there is no secret before God and therefore there is nothing which is divine should be kept as a secret. I believe as a man I shall not initiate anybody, because God initiates all. God is your shepherd and God is your destiny. I believe I was born in a very rich family, I should have been a very spoiled kid but I believe it was the hand of God which gave me virtue and I learn this most virtuous knowledge. Therefore folks, I have my way. If you walk on this way, I can guarantee you you can reach where I have reached. I do not guarantee you that I’ll take you more than that. But I guarantee you one thing - my way is when I do wrong God corrects it. And that is how feel God functioning for me and I hardly function for God. What is this functioning telling you all about God in tidbit stories and then I’ll end up with a check. That’s working for myself. Isn’t that true? But, if out of you, one person can reach a meditative mind and state of 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. and live happy and clear, that is the real work. And that is the real work in real performance in the reality of living.

Because if they would have known they would have been teaching long ago.

So there is a very primal sound, primal sound is Sa-a, Ta-a, Na-a, Ma-a, these are the five sounds. One is ego, Id, this is Jupiter, Saturn, Sun and Mercury. Communication, Ma, resurrection. Na, death. It is your life finger on which you put the ring of the wedding ring, remember? This is Ta, it is Saturn, Lucifer, the Satan, who always bang you because you don’t look to God. You know. You are all afraid of the Satan, that’s a very lovely guy, it hassle you because you don’t look to God. If you look to God it doesn’t hassle you. You think it’s a bad guy, that’s the only best thing in the world. Otherwise you would have been gone crazy. Then this is the Jupiter, the knowledge, Sa, the totality. This is Id, ego. So when this Id meets with this finger it is called the seal of knowledge. This is the seal of patience, this is the seal of life, this is the seal, great seal of communication. You know great seal of California, great seal of Iowa, those great seal. Mudras they call them. So this becomes Sa-Ta-Na-Ma. Now it doesn’t mean anything to you, neither it means anything to me.

A Naam gives identity, form, and expression to that which was only essence or subtle before. It is also referred to as the Word. or Sa-a, Ta-a, Na-a, Ma-a are the five primal sounds.

There are total twenty sounds in the whole divine science. Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa Ta Na Ma Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hung, that’s it. And if somebody through one breath can take the note of this sound and can sing it in one breath he can raise the KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. and resettle it. It takes one breath and practice. So what you call is great mystery power is just nothing, it’s simply how to turn it upside down. It’s not difficult. And something very funny, lot of people chant Om. Actually Om is not a word. It cannot be chanted. It’s not a spoken word. It is a sound. And when I see the western people saying Om, Om, Om, I laugh. Now why should I bother? Saying bread, bread, bread, bread, bread, you are not going to get a cake. And it won’t, bread won’t appear. Om is a sound, it’s a Nad sound. It is chanted at this point. I do not know I can do it or not but I’ll like to tell you.

Can I get water? It’s a Perrier water.

Student: (-----)

YB: You got it? All right, give it to me. Chalo, that’s enough.

You know why we use this water because sometime if I create this sound it can burst out my membrane in the nostril and I can have temporary bleeding.

Student: (-----)

YB: Oh that’s all right, I know that. Little bit English I have learned.

So we have the habit, we can drink water through the nostril if we have to. It’s a very clear channel. For you, don’t try it ever, you’ll end up sick.

(YB chants Om.)

This is that sound which you call Om. Why it is divine sound I tell you. It shakes up the whole brain. It readjust the entire grey matter. And it exposes up to a very high frequency vibratory of the part of the brain which you call hypothalamus. When that happen the pineal get disadjusted and gets upside down. And there is a little cavity in the center of the brain. That while shaking turns around and loses the liquid. Moment it loses the liquid, the pituitary starts going berserk in a counterclockwise impulsation and releases so much (?) that you expand in 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. and see the unknown and heard the unheard and bah, bah, bah. That’s why this is divine sound, nothing else. Understand? But not, it’s not a verbal sound. Verbal is, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma. And you have to really do it hard because the brain is divided this way and that way into five portions. Ten portions. To stimulate all the ten is that is what we do. We sit down like this, we say Sa-Ta-Na-Ma, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma. It’s just like playing piano or typing a letter. Then after five minutes we do Sa-Ta-Na-Ma, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma (whispering) and then for five minutes we go silent and then we go silent another five minutes, come back to whisper and come back to, then we stretch and that’s it. Because the healing sound is Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hung. That is the secret, what they call it, sacred healing sound.

So these sounds are all divided and everything else comes out of these sounds. All musical vibrations come from Sa Ra Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni, that’s it. Those are first seven sounds. So like this there is a whole science of NaadNaad The inner sound that is subtle and all-present. It is the direct expression of the Absolute. Meditated upon, it leads into a sound current that pulls the consciousness into expansion. Yog, out of NaadNaad The inner sound that is subtle and all-present.

Inhale and stretch. Relax.

We did it on one minute basis. But we want to share with you this sacred and secret meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. as existed from time immemorial to today. In the science of meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. and MantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. , there is nothing equal to it. Not because I have told you, that’s not true. It is as it is.

It takes you about five minutes to go on each section. It will take you about forty days to get stimulant into it. It will take you about nineteen days to see the joy and the beauty of it. After that folks, you are at your own. You owe nobody anything and nobody owes you anything. Then it shall be your own personal practice how much you want to advance yourself.

One point of warning. When you do this meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. in-between you start seeing things of your life which you do not expect to see otherwise and you start doing to go in places where you normally would not have gone. Now that is the byproduct of it. Only, don’t be afraid, it is only temporarily because sometime you just see great things.

For example, while doing this one mediation one woman saw all her relatives burning in a house fire. She thought where was hallucinating but fact is, at that very moment on the East Coast those relatives are there were caught in the actual fire. It was the truth. So she asked me a question, “Why it happened to me?”

I said, “Nothing, because of the feelings. What was your reaction to it?”

“My reaction was that they all should be saved.”

I said, “How were they?”

“They all safe, fine.”

“Good, good luck.”

Because the mind has a power over matter. Therefore when you do this meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. if anything such thing happens, my request to you is, think at that time positive. Suppose, while doing this you see some relative of you was dead or it has already died and it has come to you, the ghost of it. Bless it, you will free the soul. Because in between those visionary process of your meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. whatever positive you say or think or do shall happen. But don’t be afraid why you have to see that, that happens anyway. That is the only point of warning which I wanted to share with you. Therefore I just thought that you may not get scared at sometime and don’t think those powers has come to you. They, they, that is just a very first stage. When you practice this for a long time you can intuitively see, know, things just like that, just like that. It makes you divine. And there is no devil in it. So feel free but don’t pick up and make stories about it. Sometime people like to do that, gossip about it. So that is not required of men of God. It is required of men of God to be calm, sober and prayerful. More you will pray more you will benefit. More you will benefit more you will pray. It’s a simple bargain. But remember, you have to do it at your own. Nobody can do it for you. Divine does not work on charity service. And you cannot buy God nor you can sell God.

Therefore my advice to you is, if you want to start, start at your own, initiate your own self. Baptize yourself by putting few drops of water in the top of your head. Do whatever you want to do, what satisfies you and starts going this way. It will arouse it, it will take it to the top, it will recenter it, it will resettle it and it will give you a most harmonious equilibrium of the unknown. It shall bring to you peace, prosperity and worldly and beyond the world happiness. It will change 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. from the belittleness to the infinite oneness of God. Because these are the most sacred words ever known to the man. Sa-a, Ta-a, Na-a and Ma-a. And they work in that rhythm, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma.

Thank you very much and thanks for the day. It was my privilege.
