… Try to be serious. Twenty years ago I used to come to Claremont College to teach. Shared a lot of things with this college. This area gave me the most beautiful teacher to practice my teachings. His name is Gurucharan Singh now and he used to wear a short through which you can see everything. That is how Claremont used to be in those days and I remember this town and its people. And after a long time I decided if there is opportunity I will share with you something people call God.
You have to bear in mind an understanding that we have been deceived and cheated for centuries as human beings and it has been done very openly by religious people like me and others. We are the advocate of lies. And our fears are that every human being has to be told that he has to find God, whereas God made us, God is within us and fifteen minutes per breath God comes and kisses us and gives us the life and still a man so stupid, so arrogant wants to find God outside him and her. That is the sadful saga of the modern literacy, philosophy, knowledge.
You will be shocked to know that on every corner of the road you will find a temple, synagogue and dime a dozen you will find yogisYogi

, padres, rabbis. Still there is no hope for peace in the world and man of God has failed to recognize that this world is one. We have divided this world into sections, watertight. We have decided our behavior to be very uptight. We exploit each other. We lie to each other, we call it love. We put our harpoon each other’s heart and pull the string and we call it etiquettes and manners. We are very deceitful people but made in God.
Why it is so? That is the question in past two years I have been exploring in my own solitude. The fact is, we love God. I am not denying that and I am not denying that in the sense also that I am the head of the religion and there are eighteen million people of my religion in the world and it is one of the eight major religions. I cannot deny that that I have met all the religious heads of the world. I cannot also deny that that I am one individual in my age who has seen more religious people, met them personally and discussed their philosophies than anybody else. Naturally when you have such a vast range of experience and I am very rebel, inborn in me and it comes out of me very often.
I have to conclude somewhere. I have to find some truth about myself. Why with so much paraphernalia of God and why so much talk about God and why so many religions and synagogues and high buildings and all stuff, why you are here even tonight? That is the question to be explored. I believe that we all love God. Even those who deny God and atheist they abuse God but they deny something which is there. Either you accept something or you deny something, it makes no difference. Those who deny they deny very heavily. Those who accept, they accept very heavily. And there are some in between.
We all love God, let us presume that way but we do not trust God. You know what I am saying? We don't trust God, we love God and just loving God is not enough. If you love your husband and your wife, if you love your girlfriend or boyfriend, if you love your teacher or student you can love anything. You can love a tree. But if you do not have the mental capacity to trust somebody whatever you have means nothing.
This word happiness is based on a belief that you trust. I do not know many of you are not married or married, if some of you have children or not children, but those who have children can recognize. They trust that child is there and he is going to be for them. You understand what I mean. There is a trust. That is why you potty train the child, you clean him, you exercise him, you do everything for children. Why? Because you trust that it is extension of you tomorrow.
God you trust because if you trust God everything is fine but you love God because that gives you a kind of hope that you are going to be beautiful. And specially when we are trouble, we ring God like a hotline telephone, talk to Him. Whether we found anything or not yet, I don't know.
To me religion is a realism, a grass root truth. To me, God is not outside, it is inside. To me I don't know how educated you are, how rich you are. I do not know how strong you are, how beautiful you are and how ugly you are. How much damage you can do. How much good you can do. But I know one thing; if a time challenges you, you cannot leave your side on the side and come out and help the other who needs it. You are no good. If you do not have the capacity to tolerate another man and you do not have the capacity and courage to uplift another man, another person in life you have not yet learned to be human.
Look at the kingdom of the animals. Impulsive, reactive and spontaneous. We have beast in us, we have an angel in us, we have a human in us. So when we are impulsive, we are reactive. Who we are? It is all right to become a doctor and make a hundred thousand dollars or a businessman to make a million dollar. It is also okay to be one of the billionaire on the earth. What it means? Can you digest the bread you ate this morning with your breakfast or you have to have a relief by roulades by the time half an hour later.

down and realized why people suffer. Why they are poor, why they are sick. I think the greatest merciful thing ever happened to me that I got sick. You know twenty years ago I came here with thirty five bucks in my pocket. I have built an empire. I brought richness to everybody who I touch.
One girl once asked me, "What you can do?"
I said, "Honey, I know how to make money."
She looked at me. She said, "Can't I be rich?"
I said, "Yes, if you have, if you know, or if you can, avoid a commotional itch you can always be rich."
You are not poor because you are insane or sentimental or you are not highly educated. You are poor because you have an itch, commotional itch. Commotionalism and realism do not go together and the tragedy is you get up in the morning and you dress up yourself and you feel you are beautiful but greatest tragedy of that is you become beautiful for others, not for yourself. There is always a run in you to look good to the others, to convince others, to feel others, to be loved by others, to be appreciated by others. Others, others, others, others, others, others. Where are you? And who are you?
You know the funny part is God, G-O-D, God, you put an extra ‘o’ in it, it makes good. God is good. Why? It gives us the goods.
While coming to the Claremont I was talking to people, I said, "Do you know if you spell word she, s-h-e, she, it contains he. If you spell word woman it contains a man. If you spell female it contains a male. And I was talking to the girls I said, "Well, if you don't contain all that you do not live to the spellings, forget about anything else." Lot of people love each other today. What is a love? ‘I love you, you love me when I will be sixty four, will you need me? Will you feed me?’ Is that love? ‘I love you, I brought you a flower and you love me, you brought me a kiss and we exchange the bacterias.’
The greatest problem in us is one; we do not have the moral, spiritual and social strength to feel committed. We refuse to deliver. We refuse to answer the call. We call it freedom. We are extremely, intelligently stupid. We are intelligent but we are stupid. We are smart. You know what a smart. Art of multiple syndrome. It is s-m art. We spread so many ways. We have so many dimensions. We want to cover every corner, every hole in the universe, we want to be great. Only we do not have one relationship - We do not know where our soul is.
Somebody asked me once a question. “Where is the soul?”
I said, "Under your foot."
"What it means?"
I said, "Don't tread on anybody."
"What is the highest 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.

can receive?"
I said, "When you decidedly are most kind and compassionate."
A human which is not kind and compassionate is not worthy to be called as animal. You know, when I counsel people and sometimes they talk to me and they say, ‘my chemistry does not meet. I do not have a sexual compatibility. Something has dried up in us.’
Oh tell those two stupid people when did you nurture it. How much time you spend on yourself.
You know it is a very funny thing. There is a one couple. They got divorced. I told them, don't do it. It is not worthwhile. You know I have to do my religious trip. It is my duty. But you know, these are American kids. They think teacher is just nothing, a phony block who just has to be just listened to, just feel good about it and go to this white beard person and you talk to him, he is going to inspire you and ten minutes later you are just flat again. So I told them, I said, "You both love each other."
"No, no, no sir, no sir. We, we, we hate."
I said, "Oh, yeah, you are hot, there is no hate."
"No, no, no, sir, you don't see it."
I said, "Wait a minute. I am known right or wrong that I can read and see the person more thoroughly even than the person. I can read an auraAura

never tells a lie. Eyes never tell a lie and I can see with that third eye you love each other. You should not do it.”
“We have to.”
“Fine. Go ahead.”
So they divorce. Now the stupid husband who never paid any attention to the children stands outside his own home. A door opens, comes his own wife with which he used to sleep. Collects his children and takes to the Six Mountains and seven this and eight this and spends whole day in the park with those children. Never did it when he was married. Never. Never even came home to say hello to the kids. Told his wife, she is a door mat and now he stands out that doormat, asking to see his children once a week. Can you understand the tragedy? And we call ourselves educated, sophisticated, most learned civilization on the earth.
Look at the birds. They collect, they make a nest, they put the eggs, they hatch him, then they let the chickens learn how to fly, how to earn. Make them strong, make them independent and then they break. You break earlier than even car needs to stop. Your brakes are so strong. You do not know when to apply, where to apply and why to apply. Why it is so? Question is not what is wrong with us. Question is what we can do about it. And that is what I came this night.
I tell you the simple theory. We have a memory and we have a mind and mind and memory go together. Our mind has three bodies to it, negative, positive and neutral. It is a simple thing. It doesn't mean which religion you belong, from a born new Christian to the atheist mind is not going to change and neither memory. So you have a memory and you have a mind and your mind has three portions to it - negative, positive and neutral. You have to have a negative mindNegative Mind

. Therefore, every thought which the Shashara releases. And you know how many thoughts this Shashara releases, this brain? One thousand thought per wink of the eye.
So out of those hundreds and thousands and millions thoughts one become your feelings. Out of hundreds and thousands of feelings, one becomes your desire, your emotion and then you want to achieve something. Out of hundred thousand you want to achieve, you may end up achieving one or two and by the time, the circle continues. But the negative mindNegative Mind

pull out of the subconscious all the sad experience and tell you, ‘wait a minute, on the sixth of June 1984, on 7th of July 1987, remember, your grandmother told you I definitely know. My mother told me exactly the same way. It is true.’ So it pulls the whole thing and supports it and seals it.

I am about fifty eight years lived. I am entering fifty-ninth year. I have never seen one person whom I asked, "Who do you love?" They name God. They name 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.
. They name parents, everything. I have not yet met one person who says, "I love my soul." Na. You live by it. You exist by it. It is spirit in you. You move by it. You feel through it. You idolize through it, you imagine through it, you penetrate through it, you project through it, you do everything through it and that is one thing you don't know. Isn't a mystery which neither religion has solved nor man has solved nor actually anybody wants to solve? Because soul is such a subtle thing and you do not have the softness and sophisticatedness to deal with subtle things. You only love gross things.
One girl told me, "When he loves me, he pulls my hair."
I said, "Oh, fantastic. Doesn't he pull them otherwise?"
"No."
I said, "Ask him to pull sometimes when he doesn't love you. It may work better."
"He hugs me when he wants to have sex with me."
"Not all the time?"
"No, that’s not his style."
I said, "Next time he hugs you kick him."
What is this relationship? It is like a vendor machine. You put twenty five cents and another fifty five cents. It is seventy five cents a can will drop. Are you vendor machines? Have you ever thought of it that way, the way, am I insane the way I am thinking? Are you with me or not? You great human beings. You call yourself great name. You have great statuses. I go to some people office. The wall is full with their certificates. Aha. What a educated person.
“What happened to you?”
“My wife has divorced me, I am very sad. Couldn’t keep. Now she has gone insane.”
Oh every wife goes insane, every husband goes insane. Why? Because basically there is no tolerance. Tolerance needs courage. Courage needs grit. Grit needs knowledge. Knowledge needs experience, experience needs the spirit. Behind it, forward of it, above it, below it. And you don't have a relationship with your soul. You can't tap that energy. That is what KundaliniKundalini

is to uncoil, open up the champagne bottle in you and let the bubble come out. You understand what I am saying? And get little intoxicated so that the pain of life mat become less. It is no big deal. Call it anything. I don't care. You call it God or you call it dog, only you have to spell the way you want it. There is nothing without God, nothing was, nothing is, nothing shall be and that is the truth. We don't want to face it. ‘I am a Christian. I am a Buddhist, I am a Sikh, I am a Muslim, I am a Hindu.’ Call me anything. Aspirin and aspirin. Blend it in any way you want it. All you want to sell God? I have been doing it for twenty years in United States and once somebody asked me a very blunt question. He said, "You are a man of God?"
I said, "I do not believe it but I trust it."
"Have you found God?"
I said, "Yes."
"Where?"
I said, "In English dictionary."
Oh, that’s where it is. In the book of elementary basic knowledge, where we learn the word.
In the beginning there was a word, word was with God and word was God. Word. And what is your spiritual power? It is very simple. What you speak is from your heart or from your head. If you speak from your heart, there is nothing in the world which can harm you. If you always speak from your head, there is nothing in the world which will not destroy you. You are a schemer. You are a con person. You are clever. You run around things. You wrap things, you tie things, you drag things. You control things. And then you cannot carry the weight and then you hate and then you yell and scream and suffer, complaint, cry. But God, have you tried if you are simple, straight, honest, just be to be, how happy and simple life will be. Neither you will cheat anybody, nobody will cheat you. You lie all the time. What is a lie? Lie is nothing but avoiding truth to give it a distance because you cannot face it. That is all. Nothing will disappear. Nothing will go home. Simply you gain time and space.

hunters and all these rich people. “Please initiate us.”
I say, "What stupid I am? If you cannot initiate yourself why should I bother to do this. Go and initiate yourself.”
Try to find truth. Work out with something. Understand life. Clean your mind, clean your subconscious, as you clean your house. Take the dirt out. Beauty is not what how much makeup you have put out. Beauty is what you deliver. Your beauty is not how you look. You look, that is one point plus. Number two, how you talk. That is point two. Number three. How you mean. And four, how you deliver yourself. And in the scale of one to ten, with what simplicity, honesty.
What is an identity? Identity is integrity and dignity with which you deal. What is your value? Nobility. How noble you are to people. How noble you are to yourself. You think that everybody is stupid, you can put a good suit and go and have good manners and do everything right. Everything is going to be all right. Not at all. You are dead wrong. It is the spirit in you which matters. Not you. How much…? Let me tell you technically. How much magnetic psyche you create by the initiation of the centripetal and centrifugal force in conjunction of the simple balance. That is the law of physics. And these are very simple laws in life. You want to be rich. There is nothing which can make you poor. You want to be great. There is nothing in the world which can make you small.
Look at word small. S-M-A-L-L. All with syndrome multiple. When you spread yourself thin you become small. When you concentrate and beam in one thing, you become all. Call it God, call it divine, call it anything.
Now have I done enough? I can pass the bucket and collect some money and go home?
That is how it is. Tell you something. Inspire you something, talk to you. That is my chapter A. I am a good talker. I can totally make you as a captured audience. That is how I did my PR in one word in America. But that is not I am. I don't believe that you just make another person feel good is enough. When I did my PHD in psychology of communication my thesis was ‘Poke, Provoke, Confront and Elevate.’
Life means to you not how much you elevate yourself. Life means to you how much you can elevate others with you. If you elevate others by you, you shall be honored, worshipped and elevated by the unseen combination, proprietorship, partnership. We call it Unknown or God. One is I.
There are nine words. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, right and then ten, eleven, twelve it goes. Nine is the number. Me within me and myself. You within you and yourself. Unknown within the Unknown and the real self. So these nine things must meet together to create a harmony, to have happiness in life. And there are seven steps to happiness. Me, I, first is my commitment. That gives me character. Character will give me my own dignity. That will give me my Divinity. That will give me my radiance, my shine called grace. That will give me strength, courage, guts to sacrifice and I will start uplifting others, serving others, getting to others and that will give me happiness.
When people were taking drugs when I came in and twenty years when Nancy Reagan was not in White House and nobody said, "Say no to drugs" I started saying no to drugs. A sole individual, single man crusade. I told everybody. Drugs is not the way. I went to pop festivals, to rallies, to youth, to peace conference, to religious people, to churches. But the problem you don't understand. You cannot live without drugs. Your children cannot live without drugs. Why? Because in the evening when the sun goes sixty degrees down you don't have energy. Then you need a rock and on the rock you need something. You need something to pass your evening. You are not competent to be yourself when you are low at energy. You start hunting for energy. You get it from outside, inside, any side. Because if you do not have a day under your control and night with you, you miss a lot.
So I said, let us go to Claremont and work it out and see if we can give them some experience. Clean out some little subconscious. Give you good time. And get some bucks and go back to L.A. Today was very clear. Well, you know, gas doesn't run with water and cars do need gas and all that stuff. It goes on.
In my life I do not believe that I will ever be poor. Neither I believe ever I will be rich. If somebody gives me money. They say, "Wow, somebody give you money."
I say, "Well somebody is going to get it soon, don't worry."
Because supply and demand balance itself. People are very shocked. They think I am greatest, richest man in the world. But when I go I look around if somebody can give me a dollar, I can give an offering. Why so?
I definitely remember. My memory is very good. When I was born I was naked and I did not know how to potty train myself. Somebody was kind to train me. When I grew and I was youthful, somebody trained me to unite with my soul. I became 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.
. And when I am going to die, I am going to go into my own Creator who created me as a creature. I have many titles. I have many, many degrees. I am considered the righteous, the wisest, the most beautiful man on the earth. It doesn't mean anything to me. I only believe God made me a human and I should be human. Human means, hue means the light, mann means the mental. Being means now. Now you are the mental light. And that is what I come to give you in these couple minutes, couple hours you are with me.
I want you to only be honest with me. Participate. I don't want you to… If you don't trust me, you can leave right now. I don't have a feeling that how many students I have got and how many people I know. I don't actually, honestly care. Never have, never will. I have never initiated anybody in my life. So you are here with me for just an experience and that is what all I believe. I believe if you can see a thing, you can hear a thing, that is one thing. You can see a thing. That is another thing. But if you experience a thing, that is something stays with you.
I have met great teachers. They talk. They are great preachers. But they fail in giving a person experience. That is why I became rebel. This whole religious status was thrusted on me. It was even you know, it was down the throat. I couldn't say no, you know. You got to exist. Advocacy kept lying down and teaching KundaliniKundalini

people and he was a sleeping prophet. He couldn't talk anything because they would have put him on a stake and put fire under him. So he covered himself. So every man tried to exist and cover himself but I didn't. I was open and that is what I always believe. I believe there is no God outside if you don't have inside. I believe there is no love outside if you don't have inside. I believe if you are empty inside there is nothing outside you can go for. If glass doesn't have a water, it cannot quench the thirst. I don't think I can give you anything if I don't have it. If I don't have God, I cannot give you. I will be just a cheat who came tonight and did some showbiz and jugglery, went away back home into bed thinking, ‘Well I have befooled fifteen hundred people. I have befooled ten people. I have befooled the whole world.’ That is how the fool thinks.
Success is not day by day, person by person. Success is unto God. When God comes and sits in your heart and presides and through your these eyes you see God in everything, even in your enemies, the people you hate, at that moment just remember you have just started loving, believing, trusting God.
Sometimes my own people tell me I am stupid. I should draw the line. I said, "Where?"
"Oh this person is very bad."
Then what? You know why there are bad people? Because the good people can realize and thank God. You know why there are good people? So that you can look to some good person and become so.
Good and bad are the same side of the same coin. One is the tail, one is the head. But that is what makes the coin. There are more people bad than good so that you can realize good is just very good. Good contains God as she contains he, as female contains the male, as the woman contains the man. You all have one motive only, just one motive, how to be happy and I tell you there is a one line which can make you happy. Isn't the life that matters, it is the courage you bring to it. When you shall prefer courage over life, you will never be unhappy. Otherwise you are a coward and coward dies many times a day and coward is one who is never happy. Courage is courage.
Look at me. How different I look. I walked into this country. Nobody knew me I was a yogiYogi

. If you would have met me, now I look good, you know, white the whole thing, big deal. When I walked in this country, I had a polka dot pink turban, a bush shirt which I borrowed and a pant which has lines. And every time I had to pull it up because it used to fall. I used to be very skinny because now I am bulky. I don't say fat because I don't want to. Well, you know I have to protect myself in many ways. But I used to be very funny. But in ten minutes everybody knew that I am not what everybody is. That is called excellence.
In your life you are very badly mistaken about one thing. You have in your life to become expert about yourself. It is the specialty of excellence which gives you anything you want. Anything and it is very simple to achieve that. It is very simple.
When I came in America they told me, “Without money you cannot live in this country.” That is why those thirty five dollars I have kept in a conch intact. I didn't spend. You think I don't eat? I make more money than individual can make. I gave it to DharmaDharma

everything which I could. Why? Just to set example. Teach people by example. Live by example. Inspire people by example. That is the best you can do for others. Don't hide behind the mask. Don't hide behind the makeup. Don't hide behind rituals and manners. Be straight and truthful. Simple.
You know what is worshipped? What is loved? And what is admired? It’s purity. Purity is the power. You know, you go in a shop, they say, "Well, this is a gem quality. It is three thousand dollar a carat. It is flawless. It is clear. This is a stone. It is opaque. You can have it for a hundred dollar a carat.” You know what it is? It is a diamond. You know what the real of it is. Carbon. You know what a charcoal is? Carbon. And five dollars can get you charcoal that you can burn whole night and good clear diamond which is a carbon, these days goes from three thousand to five thousand dollars a carat. So you can be what you want to be. You are all carbon. How much crystallization in your life, how much clarity in your life, how much gem quality in your life you want to induce, that is your relevant price. Pure simple stock. No big deal.
Life has a simple challenge, my folks. That is how you face it. If you turn your face away from life because you don't have guts and courage, you have lost the game already. You don't have to be defeated. That is why in Sikh Sikh Dharma

we ask people to wear BanaBana
, Baana
One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness.
to identify, we ask them to do service to uplift their soul. We ask them to rise early in the morning to clean themself consciously and subconsciously so that they can be honest. We do not say we are all what we say but at least we are trying. And among us there are many stupids who do not have the guts and courage. We don't mind it. They don't belong to us. At least, they are trying. They can leave or they can stay. Numbers do not count because in this whole universe the most important number is one. There is but one God, truth is His name. Creator as He is. Creation He keeps in excellence of His dominion. That is the one Lord of Lords, God of Gods, Being of Being and the Light of Lights and we are all part of it.
In us there is definitely a God. So I am not coming to give you a God. I am trying to ask you to find it within you and that is part of you. It is called soul. When you die, you remain intact. Soul departs. And anyone who thinks or feels or has a philosophy, without creating a relationship with your own soul, you can be happy. I can give you in writing you are dead wrong.

. By some method somehow, by hook, crook or steal, you have to learn how to relate to your soul, before you learn how to relate to anyone else. These are the laws I cannot change but these are the things I can remind. That is what you have paid tonight for. Because you have to learn to give and you have to learn to give more. You have to learn to give of you so that you can learn to receive. I sound like a Catholic Church to you but that is the fundamental.

But we did not do it as good, as big as we wanted to. It is just a simple visit in old memory to Claremont. Let us get to the job. All right? Now listen about me. The way I teach is hard. It caters to nothing but it cleans out everything. You understand? If you don't want to do anything and you don't want to help yourself and you think ‘well, it is too hard for me,’ sit and rest. It doesn't bother me. You miss the opportunity. It is your loss, not mine. I will do my job even there was not one student.
You know, first lecture I gave in Los Angeles, how many students came to me? One. And that was me. And I gave the best lecture and it was taped and it was reproduced and many times as 3HO we have reproduced and give it to people. Do you know what is the name of it? Huh?
Students: (-------)
YB: Liberated man. That was the first lecture. I went to a YMCA and I was supposed to have thousand people, blah, blah, blah. I went there. There was some misinformation or miscommunication and I was the only one in that hall. Me and my tape recorder which my driver brought with him and I gave exact lecture, exactly feeling the whole thing is filled. See how imaginative I am. You can't believe and it was the best lecture. Even it is best today. And you know how best it is? Sometimes I read it myself. Oh yeah, I, I, I read my own lectures. Sometimes I give a lecture, I feel so good, I say, ‘well, get me the transcribed copy,’ and next day I read it. Because sometimes the tape recorder works in me is not me. I am just a pipe, not the water. I am a means to an end, not the end. I have enjoyed my life and happiness and fulfilled myself and experienced lot of things. I just want to share. Just don't remember me even.
But tonight, if you come through what I am going to take you through and honestly. Question is, the proportionate degree of honesty in you to just do it yourself and I’ll do a lot. You may not get a chance very soon, because normally these days I don't teach. You know what I do these days? Go to movies. Yeah. Go to restaurants, pass my time that way. And curse the medical world who has told me ‘you can't do this. You can't.’ Now this is what I have called sneaking. I have snuck away from that routine tonight. But I did see a movie on the way. Don't worry. I, I, I do satisfy those orders, you know. Go to a movie, relax, be normal, you are too human, you are too worried about people, you are too, you are getting to your heart. So I am trying to become a being of the earth. I am learning. And I am, most of the time I lose my diapers on the way. But it’s all right. As it is difficult for you to know heavens, it is difficult for me to know earth. And I definitely know my weaknesses and I talk about them very openly. If you ask me to Claremont to go back to Los Angeles, I cannot drive it. I don't know any part of it.
There are certain weaknesses which I admit. Oh there are certain things which I can say which you can’t even believe. Such as somebody came to me and said he told me a story and I said, "Fine, you want me to believe it."
He said, "Sure it is true."
I said, "No, while driving the car and coming in the way you were making up this story to make me believe it. Is that true?"
"How you know?"
I said, "You also thought on the way that perhaps it won't work and you also made an alternate story if I say I don't believe you."
He said, "But you know it all, then what is my question?"
I said, "Your question is, you just wanted to come and see me and made up this appointment. You have absolutely no question."
He said, "You are right."
I said, "Well, let’s sit down. Have a cup of tea. Then go."
But I said, "If you just want to see me, why you created this drama?"
He said, "But your staff, you know, they can't get appointment with you."
I said, "Well, everyday I come to GuruGuru

. I lie flat and bow. At that time come and bow with me."
"But I do not know when you come?"
I said, "Develop intuition."
Man without intuition is car without gas. You don't have horns, you don't have hoofs, you don't have strength, you don't have a coat to guard you. You have nothing. The only thing you have is the third eye and this long nose. You should smell your, yeah, you should smell your troubles way ahead of time.
People come and ask me. "Open my third eye."
I say, "It is right there. It is open.”
The way to open is right through this. Smell your troubles. Smell your commotion, smell your behavior. Look at it. Sit at it. Find it. Where you are going. Do you really want to go where you are going? Come on. Let us work, right? What time it is?
Students: (------)
YB: How much guts you have got to go with me. Come on, let us decide it first by a common vote.
Students: (------)
YB: No, no, no. Everybody says that, then freak out, that is no good. Come on. I mean, we are going to work today, then we are going to work today, that is how I work. I do not mix work and pleasure. So, what is the general house consensus?
Student: (-------)
YB: No, no, no, no. Then you have to bring the stretchers to reach them home. No, that will space out. That is not, they are not all practitioners. Some of you are old timers but look at the whole stuff. All right. Let us reach, let us reach to intercombine my compassion for myself and get rid of my own fear in my subconscious. Will that do? Right. Lot of garbage will come out of you in few minutes because you have to let your subconscious fears come out so it is, the whole pool will… You know, you understand once you go in a swimming pool and sometime you can't stop and you clear yourself right there and everything comes up? Have you that experience? Well, that is going to happen. So, you are going to hate me for that. But we will clean it out and I don't promise how you will feel when you leave from here but you will feel very relaxed and number two, tomorrow you will feel good. Not tonight. Tonight there is also possibility that you may dream horrible because once the subconscious opens up, God knows what will open up. But it is all yours, not mine, I didn't inject it. That is what you are holding and that is what is blocking you.
Subconscious blocks your every happiness. Do you know that? Do you know whatever you want to achieve you cannot achieve because your subconscious doesn't give way? Brick by brick we clog our subconscious. All right. Come on, let’s go.

, what is wrong with you? Come on, massage your hands please, warm them up. I am warming up. Right. Open your wings. You just follow what I say, don't, don’t try to be smart. Do it exactly with that force. You see the spread of the thumb. You see me. This is all angles because the neurons in the brain have the capacity to recombine themself to go it originally. Originality. I have to do certain things and make you to do physical things so that by physical motor system I can demand and command the neurons to start correlating with the Chakras and then second step will, once I feel your auraAura

is worthwhile, I will bring you back to certain Chakras and take their dirt out of you. I was going to say some other words, but I am a holy man. I can't say that, you know forgive me for my language restrictions which are supposed to be implied. I am supposed to look good, feel good, talk good and inside I may be most terrible feeling man, doesn't matter. But that is what they feel a holy man is. But let us see what… We all have nine holes, we are all holy. Let us get to the tenth gate, the tenth hole, which makes us a wholesome.
Put your hands exactly in this angle. You follow? Now this is your Id. This is your Jupiter. This is your Saturn, this is your Sun, this is your Mercury. That is our five elements, strong elements which keep you going. Senses are there. You understand that? And you have seven Chakras, eighth is your auraAura

and you are alive because your Pranas are still working and your soul is receiving the Pranas, otherwise you will be dead. Correct? Now this situation from here will start acting and will acting like as we got a electric shock of 220 volt. You have to produce that shock. Ego out.
Tighten the thumb like a steel and do it with a shock, a lightning shock.
One, two, three, four, five. Watch this. One, two, three, four, five. Even gong the responds. Hit your being, hit your body, with Id, this is Id. Somebody said all the way. Come on, combine, rhythm. You will experience but you first have to work it out. You don't have to open up your Chakras and listen to five hundred past lifetimes and lose six thousand dollars and come home idiot with twenty tapes hanging in your pocket. You have to do it right now and we are going to go through all the garbage past, present and future. Worry not.
I didn't come to Claremont to just smell smog. I came here just to bring the good memory. I know Claremont very well. I used to bleed through my nose when I used to teach here. Oh yeah. Two dollars a class, two hours coming, two hours going, bumper to bumper and absolute to breathe monoxide. I remember those days. Never forgot it. Come on. But I love Pomona somehow. Come, come, come. Don't stop. It is going to stop you.
I am telling you how cowardly you can feel. This is, the Id has a ego. So it is going to tell you ‘stop it.’ It is going to tell you and you are going to tell you, ‘shut up. I am doing it.’ And that is the fight right now. It has already started. You know, some simple thing, a idiot can do, no big deal. But just. It won't happen. Soon or later you will start saying, "I can't do it. What I am doing?" That is where you have started releasing negativity. You will start feeling it and it is going to come all over you.
Come on, keep pushing. It is a simple movement. Fat, skinny, educated, uneducated can do it. And what it will do, start making you feel miserable. That is what it does. And you have to say, ‘I am not. I am doing it.’ I don't know how you do it all but it is just like this, not like this, not like that. Come on babies, let us go. You are all younger than me. You should do better. I do it every day and you are doing today. That is the difference. Pull your ego up. Tighten this thumb. Rhythm it. You are going at the rate of triple beat of this heart. Let us go faster. Get to the pulse rate. Come on, come on, come on. Faster, faster. Now close your eyes and get to it. And don't worry you are wrong or right. Keep moving. That is all it matters now. Try to do it at a heart rate. Stop looking anywhere else but keep the eyes closed and start looking from the closed eyes at the tip of the nose and keep moving the hands. You will come out winners.
We are not asking you to do tomorrow so do it tonight and do it good. Come on folks. Do it feel good or do it feel depressed, just do it. Start looking from the closed eyes at the tip of your nose and start moving. Right and wrong doesn't matter so long you continue the rhythm.
Ego has many facets. It will hit you many ways. Body will start hurting at different places. The Chakras will start opening, energy will start balancing, tattva will start coming into a balance and the energy start flowing through the IdaIda

, but don't stop. Don't lazy out. Faster you move, more benefit you will have. Keep spine straight, look through the closed eyes at the tip of your nose. Keep moving.
You are getting there. Come on, come on, come on, work hard. God is within us. Call on the God, call on the spirit, call on the soul, call on the courage, call on any good thing. Jesus, Moses, anybody you know. Help, send the SOS but get going. Keep rowing. It is just boating through. Keep the ego up. The thumb has to be straight up and keep going and keep giving the sparking push. There are many easy ways but they take many incarnations.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Hey, we want to experience something after this. We are not going to whole, spend whole night on this damn thing. Come on. What are you up to? Help me. Come on, come on, fast. I want you to move fast with the whole thing.
We are just at the gate of it. Come on, little bit more. All I want is just change of the arc line and I will be happy like lark. Come on.

Get into baby pose. Fast, fast. We don't have much time to waste. One, two, three, baby pose. That is all it will take. Yeah, yeah, it is simple pose. Babies do it all the time to pass the wind. It is called in yoga the baby pose. It gives you flexibility, cure health. You know for two years I have been so sick and I have started doing this pose and I have started healing myself thanks to my own knowledge. Get in baby pose and just get lost. Sleep or pretend to sleep. Fake it, you will make it. Baby pose is difficult. It is very difficult to become a baby, though you try all the time. But today it’s practical.
Sleep, relax, relax, relax. Nap quick, sleep, go. Leave the body behind for experience. Fly away like a bird. Fly away like a bird. Concentrate your own soul in your own self-conscious and please leave the body here intact. And walk with me up to the higher elevations.

Inhale very slowly, consciously, feel the breath. Hold it, love it, talk to it, hug it, become friends with it. Speak to it. Tell him, request him. If you are poor, hold it and tell it to bring you prosperity. If you are unhappy, hold it and tell it to bring you happiness. Ask any wish while holding it, respectably, consciously and in you. Then send it like a guest, slowly, consciously and then receive it like a guest, gracefully, smilingly, get friendly with your support system, the breath of life, your support system, your life system, your energy, your power, your grit. You. It is you in you. Introduce, shake hand with it. Feel it, touch it, be it.
Breath of life is God. God is breath of life. When the breath of life leaves this body then it is dust to dust. There is nothing in it, consciously that power of God, the life stream feel it, befriend it, understand it, communicate with it, ask this to do you a favor, give you what you need. Don't ask me. Don't ask anybody. Whenever ever you need your prayer to be answered breathe like this and ask the breath of life to communicate with the Creator of the breath of life to give you everything. It will take miracle, it will take miracle to happen. You will be shocked how well you can communicate with God just through the breath of life.
What can give you life can give you everything. What can give you life can give you everything. What can give you life can give you everything. Relate to it. Create a relationship. Fall in love. Romance with it, flirt with it, feel it, tell it what you want, tell it what you cannot tell anybody, ask, open your heart. Your wishes will be granted. God is merciful. Only just want to hear.

Well, how you feel? You know you were very good, you cooperated a lot and that’s why I was very kind also.
My nature is that God knows the sun will rise tomorrow or not, if there is any God let us find it today. That is the kind of person I am. I don't trust tomorrow. I don't remember yesterday. All I know is today. Yesterday have no guilt for me, tomorrow has no hope for me, today I am, I am.
We all have to learn the secret of happiness. We go crazy thinking about tomorrow. We feel guilty about yesterday and we mess up today. You know. That is not the way. Today, here and now just be happy and happy not to show off, happy not to gain, happy not to lose. To be happy that you are alive. Moment you start relating to breath of life, you will start becoming rich, prosperous and good.
You know all these students who call them my students, even they don't trust me. They don't believe what I say. I came twenty years ago among them and I have built an empire. They are asking me how. Didn't they see me twenty years how I worked? Was it any secret? No. You all can be excellent. You can achieve what you want, just relate to your own breath of life. That is the God in you. Never breathe unconsciously and never waste a breath on negativity.
I have very simple rules. I don't have to give you a sermon on the top of the mountain and on the bottom of the ocean. Two things; always breathe consciously and never waste a breath on negativity. If somebody is negative, just smile away, aha, good. If somebody abuse. You say, ‘you are wonderful, you know how to do it. Good, thank you. I am sorry. I don't know how to do it. Fine.’
Once people will know that you are a conscious person, everything will come to you. Everything. I mean everything. By richness you cannot but happiness. By health you cannot conquer happiness. There is no rule and ritual through which you can grab happiness. Happiness comes to you through kindness and compassion, compassion and kindness in dealing of you. And that will come to you when you will breathe consciously. And you won't waste breath of life on any negativity.

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.
. Wah. So be it.” Well what to do.
"You have cursed me."
I said, "Look at it. You said it. I just sealed it."
You know, you want sympathy? There is another way for sympathy. Don't put yourself down and shred yourself and think you will get sympathy. No, you will not get sympathy. You will get apathy. You will get pain. You will be insulted. You devalue yourself. Nobody will love you. Nobody respect you. People love light. Be bright. Be bright. Be brave and be beautiful. These are three ways to become bountiful. What did I say? Speak it.
Students: Be bright, be brave, be beautiful.
YB: Don't you know that what you say you become. Say it. Be bright, be brave, be beautiful. I am bright, I am brave, I am beautiful.
Students: I am bright, I am brave, I am beautiful
YB: Are you shy and afraid to say? God and me, me and God are one. Now with the rhythm of the heart. God and me, me and God. No, no, we will change it today. God and me, me and God, are one. God and me, me and God are one.
Students: God and me, me and God, are one. God and me, me and God are one…
YB: Feel it, feel it.
Packet it.
Heart center, heart center. Put your hands on the heart. You are just somebody. Feel it here. Hallelujah, thank you. Well, wonderful. You are right. Okay now.
Well, time is up. That is what you paid for. It is overtime twenty minutes extra free. All right. There is.
Okay, now question is there is something over there. There is a formula, oh it is pretty good.
It is called R13. If you look at the telephone. God is 13. G is 6, am I right. Anybody has a telephone number. G-O-D means God. That comes to thirteen. So what I did is I pocket it. You look like it is a commercial. It is not. We made it yesterday and we flew it from our factory tonight and I thought, you have no compulsion to buy it and drop it. There is no nonsense about it. But if you get it, do me a favor.
Take three in the morning, three capsules with hot water, like a tea. Everything is in it. Don't add anything except a simple tea. If you can put a hot water with a little honey or a maple syrup, that will do or you can put, what is that low and slow, what they sall that? Some people don't… Sweet and low. But it has to be, yeah, yeah, it has to be, you have to drink a light tea. Three in the morning, three at night, six. And those who have to take it. You have to buy, it is not free. There is nothing is free. There is no liberty without labor and there is no freedom which is free. You have to use this and let me know because that is the greatest service you can do. We need people to experiment on themself for a few days and see.
Because I believe in one thing. Herbs heal, doctor diagnose and God cures. Herbs heal, doctor diagnose and God cures. You know. It is true. When I was on that surgery table and the doctors lost me and they gave me those shocks and I didn't return and they were yelling my name. I woke up and they said, "Yogiji, you are hearing me?"
I said, "I am hearing somebody is singing. Not you."
"Are you all right?"
I said, "Now I am going to be all right. I am not going to die. You do whatever you are doing."
They were shocked and I tell these guys that you are all saints. It is your prayer which brought me back. I was going Home, peace and square you know. I wanted to get out of the hotel but these guys have fall in love with me. I do not know what they want.
So we want this. We flew this herbal mixture all the way from up north, Seattle. The idea is to pick up some of you to just experiment, just to feel it is right and wrong and if you get mad, get your money back. Yeah. Write down, ‘it doesn't work, I tried, I just wasted my money, please send me back,’ and they will. It’s just experimental thing, and just, just see what it does to you.
Three capsules in the morning with a hot warm, sweet water of any kind. If you believe in sugar, I don't deny, but I, you know, bad, that is a bad thing. So, if you don't like honey, use maple syrup. What else you can use?
Student: (------)
YB: Now you are getting, making things complicated. No, no, no. Just make a cup of hot water, put some sweet in it and put these three capsules and get down. Just finish one bottle if you possibly can, no big deal. No, no, no, I am not joking. You take it. See what it does.
Because you have today worked in connecting the seventh center and the fourth center. We left the sixth and the fifth. That was what we worked today in the workshop. We did it very silently, intelligently and quietly. That is IQ, quiet intelligence. And now we need to rebalance the energy.
I am sorry, I won't be coming again. I will be leaving right now but the connection has to be created. You have to feel light, healthy and energetic. That is why I knew I was coming here, so I, I did this myself. I called. It was surprise. It was left at the Hacienda de Guru Ram Das
, The Ashram
The grounds of Yogi Bhajan's traditional home and ranch in Espanola, NM, as well the surrounding businesses, gurdwara and langar hall.

, we have to… You know, the coming here, after two thirty, you need a helicopter to come to Claremont. You know what I mean and these two guys have brought them. I am very grateful to them. Otherwise. It was left over there. So I said, "Oh my God. I am going to teach,” and so it came. It is right here. It is called yogic herbs and its number is R13 and 13 means G-O-D and take the telephone and watch out those number and total it up. It will come to thirteen.
You don't like thirteen? You don't? That in letters means God and if you don't want to have it, you have no obligation whatsoever but if you have it, be honest and write down your name, address and telephone number and when you finish this please write us on that situation only take it. We want to experiment. We want people to feel healthy, happy and holy and we end up combining the herbs. All right?
These people are surprised. I have never done this commercial. That is not my way. I finish. I get up and go. But I am just changing my style because two years of sickness have taught me a lot but for these people I would not have been here. It is not I am alive because of my own intelligence, because of my creativeness. I am alive because these people are praying like anything and there is no way to go.
You know how long you want to live in a hotel? I have done fifty nine years. Twenty years I have served everybody. I was ready to go. They pulled me back so bad, it tied me down I can't. So I said, ‘All right, let me experiment myself. Let me do certain things which I know.’ So one of the herbs we made today, we number 13 and I was told it was unlucky and I said, just spell it and put the total to it and it came to be God and it comes to 13.
Three in the morning, three capsules first thing in the morning when you brush your teeth. If you eat anything then don't take it. Early in the morning take three capsules and over that drink, the hot sweet water. Makes stomach as a kettle and I am telling you what it is. I am just explaining it to you. There are certain herbs in it in which we want to make the tea in the stomach. So we want to put three capsules in the stomach and a cup of water, hot water, first thing in the morning. It will take exactly seven to eleven minutes to get into your body. And it will do its number. And at night, at night when you go to bed you have brushed your teeth, take three capsules again and then drink the same way.
And please do us a favor. Let us know how you feel.
Thank you very much and may the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you and the pure light… Home, home, thank you very much. Let's go home too.
(The class sings, ‘May the long time sunshine upon you…’)
