If you read Siri 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. GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. you will come through some cross ideas. 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. tells you things that there are Gods, there are semi Gods, there are religious people, there are saintly people, there are stars, there are days, there are years, there are weathers. 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. talks to your mind, it talks to your body, it talks to your soul. More elaborately it talks to your TattvasTattvas A category of cosmic existence; a stage of reality or being; a "thatness" of differentiated qualities. In total there are 36 tattvas. Each wave of differentiation has its own rules and structure. The final five tattvas are called the gross elements and have the phasic qualities and relationships of ether, air, fire, water, and earth. but it does tell you something very initial that the Satya, the energy of life, life force is called Satya. The courage which is the excellence of life.

What is God?

God is the extreme infinite excellence of life.

And what is 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. ?

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. is the extreme super courage of life.

It does tell you that if there is no Satya, there is no power, there is no spirit behind you, you cannot show courage. It tells, tells you that.... There is something very wrong among the religious people that they think once you become religious there will be no challenge. No, no, no, no that's not true; challenges shall be there, rather challenge shall be severe because why challenge will be severe but when a religious person is challenged he doesn't give in.

Take the example of 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 Arjan Fifth Guru of the Sikhs. ArjanGuru Arjan Fifth Guru of the Sikhs. ; one hundred and twenty five thousand rupees everybody wanted to pay, there was no big deal. He said no it's matter of principle. He went through being baked five days and nights but he never gave in. Now where you get that courage, that standard as a religious person? Is religion mean that you can be blessed and you can be happy, is religion means that you have good home life and good life, is religion mean that you can have success, is religion means that you have everything what you want? Is that religion what it means ? No, not at all.

Religion is a state of reality in which a man when he is challenged for limited values, he stand tall with infinity. If religion means anything else that I am not religious, I am atheist; then there is no damn religion, it is a bogacity, it is a corruption to steal money from other people and one gets rich and other go poor, it is just putting your hand in the pocket of other people. Then there is no religion; then it is a bunch of stupidity which is being practiced by one or the other. Religion only means one thing-there is nothing......

Yesterday I was in Espanola, a young girl came wearing BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , she wore BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , she was pretty, she is dead blonde and looks very good and BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. looks so good at her and she came and she wanted to just show me and I said, "Oh wow, you are wearing BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. today?"

She said, "Yeah."

I said, "It is a trial basis or you want to wear it?"

She said, "No. It is not a trial basis. That's it, I am wearing it."

I said, "I am sorry, tell me why you are wearing it, explain it to me."

She said, "It means commitment."

I said, "Not at all. BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. doesn't make commitment." And you know, she is in love with a boy I said, "Ask him, who asked you to wear BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , persuaded you and whole thing."

I know the philosophy, I know the science, I know the Sanskriti, there is no religion like Hinduism, you are going to take a stone, make a Tukar of out it, you can make a God out of stone. Can you not make God out of man? You understand the science behind it? Science is great, religion is great, philosophy is great but without Brahmin you can't even sneeze, you need him.

Like in France I said, "What is the religion of this country?"

They said, "Everybody say is catholic"

I said, "Oh wow."

They said, "Yeah, but they are catholic in their own way."

I said, "Could you explain to me catholic in their own way, what it means."

He said, "When they are born they are catholic, when they get married they are catholic, when they die they are catholic, in-between," he said, "They don't know who they are."

And that's true.

So what I am explaining to you is that Sikh religion has features, facets for excellences. Excellence of the spirit, excellence of the body, things can happen to you and they will. Sometime you don't have any explanation, what is the reason for that but there is a one excellence in human, a desire, purpose of life, that every human wants fulfillment, every human want experience of God. You know God gave you everything, God give you nothing, that's, that's a side business, it can never be, it's a something you have to understand Sikh religion. Sikh religion feels that KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. , Param, Karam, has nothing to do with DharmaDharma A path of righteous living.

First Red Cross started because there was a courage, there was a grace, there was a power to confront and elevate. Everybody who is sitting among you has the power to confront, very few has the power to elevate. If you do not have the power to elevate, you are not religious person. Power to confront every animal has; so we have a beast in us, we have an angel in us and we have a God in us. It's a God which elevates in us. When we say we are divine and we are not divided, that's the moment we practice elevation of others, that's the moment....

Somebody asked me very simple question. He said, "Sir I don't know I will see you again or not, you are not well, these days."

I said, "Yeah, that's true."

He said, "Give me a last answer to my last question."

I said, "Well, go ahead, if it comes to that calculation, why not?"

He said, "Everybody wants to be happy. How I can be happy? I want to be happy. I do everything, I have gone..."

He quoted so many seminar, prosperity seminar, happiness, sex seminar, God you believe it. This guy might have spent a fortune going after everybody and he said, "I don't understand I want to be happy, how I can be happy?"

I said, "You can't be."

"Why not?"

I said, "Bring a paper I'll write down, 'I 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 here by certify and guaranty you shall never be happy and sign it."

He said, "I don't understand."

I said, "Only way to be happy is when make other people happy, you can never be happy when you want to be happy, that's unfortunate part of happiness."

What is happiness?

I am happy, then what? Then what? I have eaten then what?

The question is, when you are hungry to death and there is a wonderful food in your presence and you don't eat and you feed the one who is hungry, that makes you happy. It's a sensitive feeling of excellence over one own total self. Happiness is not what you feel. It's a defined thing and it requires courage, it requires courage, it requires self examination, it requires self understanding and I repeat this story in a little.

In this Los Angles when I no friend, no money, nothing, I went to teach a lecture somewhere and I got one hundred and fifty some dollars and well, fifty percent of whatever the collection was. I never forget it. I came and I saw this black man saying, 'Buy few pencils, I have to feed my family.'

And I took that envelop and put it in that box and took one pencil. The lady, I will not name her because I don't want in my lecture any other person to be mentioned, is considered to be the most spiritual woman of the east knowledge in the west, I have no doubt about it and I used to call her a mother, man of my caliber calling her a mother means something; may not mean for you but it's, reality is, that it did mean a lot. She looked me and she said, "You Indian."

And it just like a cannon hit my chest. I said, "Well, good Indian is a dead Indian, what wrong I did now?" I sarcastically responded. I said, "Good Indian is a dead Indian," because that's what the western say and she said, "You Indian."

She said, "This man is there backing everything and you gave all the money, you... don't you need it?"

I said, "I need it badly."

"But why you gave it all, you should have given him some."

I said, "No."

"But what you got?"

I said, "Pencil."

"What you will do with it? For that kind of money."

I said, "I will write my own destiny. That's what I have done today."

She said, "Oh? I won't pay for your this dinner."

Now I think we were five, six people. I still know that chain entour whatever they call it. It is still on that ninth street, it is still on that area. We stood in the line and she was very funny, she put me behind the line. Normally the guest is put in the front and she brought her food and everybody else and every plate passed away and I took what I took. I thought she was kidding, she is going to pay, no problem and when I came to that..... I very exactly remember it and she totaled it, that girl and she said, "Thank you sir," and she let me go.

And I said, "She was kidding, she paid you know, she is finally a mother and all that." So I brought those things in that plastic thing and then you put it on the table. I learned the manner first time, that's how you do it. And I was there and this girl came from the counter. He left seventy some dollars. I think I left, kept seventy and eight dollars more I gave it to her.

She told me, one of my student has paid left a hundred dollar bill with her telling that this man along with all the people should be charged through this account and rest of the money paid back to me.

And I took those seventy some dollars and I said, "Mom, they belong to you."

She said, "Why"?

I said, "My pencil has started writing my own destiny."

She said, "You really believe in it?"

I said, "Yeah, I do. I believe giving is the act of God and a saint, taking is the act of devil and a beast, I believe."

She said, "Oh, you have a catholic training."

I said, "Call it anything, doesn't matter to me. I firmly believe."

So if you all want to be happy, give the people the word which 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. gave you.

My personal feeling is, when a person psychologically...

SIDE B

... Sociologically and economically feels lonely, when? All the time. In three areas you feel lonely–socially, psychologically and economically, doesn't matter how much wealth you have got. And doesn't matter how many people know you. And doesn't matter how much how much you can talk about yourself, you are handicapped. Every individual is, so you are; but once you make the mental process of in aptitude and take from that day that 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. is with me... I am not guarantying you that 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. is with you or not, I am not saying that is it, is it not, I am not asking you it works or not but all I am saying it, it works for me, with all my stupidity it works for me and I believe if a man of my stupid nature can believe it and it can work little more stupid (?) let's put it that way because 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. can handle it, that's I am saying.

And one day I tell you my very personal thing, I did a very stupid thing myself and I realized it and I say oh God, it's horrible. You know, funny thing is I can't make phone calls, I don't know the numbers, I have not that equipment yet.

It worked out fantastic and I laughed and I said, "You know I have nothing to tell you, 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. , I teach people how to control mind, I clean the mind, the subconscious, the conscious, the whole garbage, but you know, there is one master mind we are all part of it and prayer works. When in my that frustration I realize there is no time, space doesn't give me a chance and blunder has happened, I say one thing worked–prayer; worked faster than time and space and you intuitively got aware what you have to do."

He looked at me with a wide open eyes, he said, "I got intuitive?"

I said, "For the time being yes, it is true."
