YB: You know, when I was fourteen I was more holy than I am now? It is amazing when I was fourteen I had a better life, better concentration, better knowledge of life than I have now. Now I am very confused because knowing the life and experiencing like you, I had at that time hope that I have long years to live. But now I think I have very short years to live and there is a less chance that people can even practice what I have practiced when I was young, not that I am worried about myself. Speak the heading. Sure I gave it I remember it.

YB: Temperamental attitude and death, that's what I am going to talk about. I know that, thank you, I want you to be just sitting here as a computer, quick, quick, quick like that.

Temperamental personality in relation to human reality earth wise, ether wise and 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. of death. To be very honest one doesn't die once only. Death comes many, many times in many, many ways. Moral death, I am just counting deaths, moral death, social death, death of the inner being, and finally it is known as death of the outer being which is the physical death. People live with moral death in much more pain. Social death is just a drag of life. Death of one 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. what you call is unfulfilled self is so painful that even God becomes merciful in such cases. After all, what is a death? Death is nothing at length is a temporary sleep where a person physically gets eliminated. Mentally? No. Spiritually? No. The great philosophy of the great philosophers are still resounding and it is all nothing but the mental self. Their mental self is known to us and we go through those mental self day in and day out. Spiritually all these sages and all these prophets and all these people whatever they said still hang on with us. Their pictures we make, their altars we create, they are even physically with us. Physically, mentally, socially, affectionately, hatred wise, we do everything what we were doing to them at that time. Simply it might have expanded now. It is amazing you must understand, death is in reality is nothing. They are dead says Nanak, who has not found the God in the instinct to deal with humanity. They are dead anyway. Physical living doesn't mean, all right who is Mr. George Smith? Tell me. Do you know anybody? Some guy, sixteen twenty altra avenue, some nonsense, just came, went seven o'clock to the factory, came back five o'clock, drank beer, slept. The wolf at full moon might be making simple dent in telling people that I exist as a species and then that human being. He is alive, he can vote, he can do a citizen arrest, he is perfect, he pays his tax, he earns his money, he is alive. You call him alive. Now he just fill in the gap and that's a normal individual case and from there you take a person who is never going to die. People shall remember and repeat his name again and again.

So much humanity is confused whether Lord Rama was Lord Rama or it was incarnation or it never existed or it existed, nobody knows anything but still everybody in the world chants Ram, Ram, Ram, God knows why? Nobody understands. What is the temperament? If 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. is elevated, self is loved and found, there is nothing death. There is no such thing as death. But if self is not found, self is not left, you are dead anyway. Creative 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. in reality to every individual allows him certain things, straightforwardness, straightforwardness, bluntness, sacrifice, taking stand for others, in spite of self-deficiency, efficiently they help others.

Today you go to the psychologist and psychiatrist and you want to learn things. Why you want to learn things? Because you do not know who you are? What is a mental sickness? When you do not know whether you have a mind or not.

It's one of the funniest story, in twelfth century there was a king and under the pressure of his work, I tell you psychiatry was in those days too. There was a king in twelfth century, he was a very beautiful man, under the pressure of his work, he got totally a crack. He called his Rajguru, the man who is spiritual advisor to the kingdom and his commander in chief and he said, "I am feeling bored, I have to do something."

The commander in chief said, "Sir, what you want to do?"

He said, "I like to invade my neighbor country, expand my kingdom, do something."

He said, "Sir, we will be ready in ten days if that is your desire, your majesty wants it."

He said, "Rajguru, will it be all right?"

He said, "Foolish."

He said, "Why?"

He said, "The neighbor country is never going to attack us, they are always friendly with us, we will be betraying friendship, our relationships are perfect, we have lived in peace for long, long time, I don't think you should even think of this thought."

He said, "What about my boredom?"

He said, "Well, if you are bored then there are lot of things which can be done."

He said, "Suggest me one."

Now this wise man, the Rajguru suggested first thing, he said, "Oh king, first thing you should do you should know who you are."

Now go on listening what I am going to tell you their communication, it's the greatest lesson. He said, "I am a king."

He said, "You are the biggest fool."

"Who you are?"

He said, "I am man."

He said, "Idiot, who you are?"

He said, "All right, I give up, now tell me who am I?"

He said, "You are a servant of the people at the present time in the body of a human. That's what you are."

He said, "You think I am not a human?"

He said, "No, kings are never human. You lost your right to be human when you put this crown on your head."

He said, "Rajguru, then who is human?"

He said, "I am human, you are king and I am telling you idiot, I am human. That your Grand Wazir was not human, that commander in chief, he is only yes sir, he is a puppet human." He said, "Oh king, anything which you put yourself to relate to and anything which you want really to project makes you a puppet human. Humans are those who remain human in even and odd. Had you been a human there was nothing to feel bored. There was nothing to feel bored my dear, you are bored because you lost to be a human and you remained nothing but a king. Because humanity is infinite, you can search within yourself lot of jewels, lot of new things."

He said, "All right Rajguru, I agree you are very convincing, what should I do?"

He said, "King, there is a one thing you should do. Early in the morning you should ride your horse and by the sunset you should come back and you should never tell anybody where do you go."

He said, "All right, how many days I have to do?"

As you ask me the question 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. , how many days?

He said, "I'll tell you later."

(Students' laughter)

And he walked away. So early in the morning with the first ray of the sun the horse will be ready, he will be on it, he will drive through, come back tired, just go to sleep. Next day, third day, tenth day, hundredth day, one day he was going to go, Rajguru came, he said, "Can I go with you?"

He said, "Yeah, come on."

So there was another horse, so they both went, on the way they talked. He asked, he said, "King, you have traveled almost hundred and twenty days everyday straightaway. Did you feel bored?"

He said, "No."

He said, "Why not?"

He said, "I don't know, I was going to ask you but I was afraid. Hundred twenty days I have ridden horse everyday, do nothing, just under your instructions, but I didn't feel bored, that is a truth. But it's a repetition, it's a tiredness, I don't know what I am doing but you tell me to do I am doing it. What is it? Why didn't I feel bored?"

He said, "What you do?"

He said, "I just take horse, as the horse goes I go with it that's all, somewhere I sit down, eat, there is a food in bag, everything is there and then I calculate, I go only that much that I can come back. According to your instructions I am doing it, but I am not bored."

He said, "You are finding the nature."

He said, "It means all my life I have to go on horseback round and round to feel not bored?"

He said, "No, if you try to find your inner nature then you will never be bored. At the moment you are finding your outer nature, you are in the nature, in the nature of things, oh king this is your real trip, it is your temperament. You are temperamentally constructed this way to find things. And here you go and find trees because you have nothing to do, you keep going on the horse. So you look at new things and you are learning indirectly to find your temperament. Your real nature."

What is 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. ? 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 not closing the eyes my friend, 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 simple process in which a individual uses his mind to find his real nature. And what is the real nature? Divinity. Real nature of you is to find divinity. And while they were talking the king said, "Could you sir, give me another example?"

He said, "Yes." He said, "There was a ashramAshram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. where lot of disciples lived with their teacher and one day lot of students came and one student came and he said, "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. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. , now you can trust me."

He said, "Oho, thank you. What is your name, from which village you came, how much you have..."

Because these GurusGuru 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. never knew who is running around in their ashramsAshram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. . Simply at certain time either they pick up somebody or somebody comes forward. He said, "I am glad, you feel good about it and I can trust you."

He said, "Yes sir, any time."

He said, "All right."

In the wake of the middle day, midday he called that person, so when that person came, he said, "I can trust you?"

He said, "Yes sir."

He said, "All right, there is a job to do. You see that big stone?"

He said, "Yes sir."

He said, "Take that and put it in one hand and do you see that pole?"

He said, "Yes sir."

He said, "Then go on the top of that pole."

"Yes sir."

Now he went, stone was extra heavy, so this side was totally out of balance and then with one hand how can he go up the pole? He tried, he tried, he tried, he tried, one day went, second day went, third day went, fourth day went, fifth day he was jumping like a monkey with that pole. He didn't give an inch. Everybody came and laughed, look at that idiot, he is a monkey, he is a monkey, neither he let the stone go, he is jumping on the pole, teacher made a fool of him, he is just nonsense, nothing, you know 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. JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. knows everything, this man is crazy, he knew he is crazy, so he gave me crazy job.

(Students' laughter)

You know common gossip. So everybody came and saw him, what this solid like rock with stone will go two, three feet, fall apart, stone will fall apart, he was totally tired, bleeding, everything was wrong, but kept doing. Even some of the disciples went to that teacher and said, "Maharaj, what are you doing? This man will die, he looks like totally pig head, he doesn't think anything."

He said, "No, he is not pig headed, I told him to do it, he is doing it. Has he done it?"

He said, "No."

He said, "Let him do it. Why you people are getting crazy?"

And you know, who thought himself to be very near, he said, "Sir, but you understand he is a human being, it's impossible to carry one stone in lap and go all the way up, it's impossible."

He said, "Do you mean that I have to tell him something which is possible? I know it is impossible. I have told him impossible. What do you want to talk to me?"

He said, "No, no, no, you know it's all right, I mean to say, if you think it's impossible it's okay."

He said, "Yes, it's okay, it's impossible, I have told him to do something impossible."

He said, "Sir, can I know why you told him?"

He said, "Because I couldn't do it. I want him to do it."

He said, "Sir, do you think he will do it or not?"

He said, "I don't know. I have told him to do it."

This man holding, falling, holding, falling, holding, falling, holding falling, start doing breath of fireBreath of Fire Also called agni praan. It is a rapid, rhythmical breath pattern, generated from the navel point and diaphragm with an equal inhale and exhale and usually done through the nose. It is both stimulating and relaxing. It heals, strengthens the nerves, and clears out old patterns and toxins. . Body didn't eat anything. Fifteenth day of life, pran vayu started circulating the body, one fine morning he got up, he twisted himself, he did his pranayamPraanayam , Pranayam , Pranayaam Regulated breathing patterns or exercises. , he took the stone, he put his hand, he found his grip like a iron going into the stone. He went all the way up. He came down, he thought perhaps he is dreaming, he got it again, he got up again, he could do it. Third time, fourth time, fifth time, tenth time. People ran around, oh he made it, he made it, he made it, he made it, he made it. GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru.

He said, "JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. , I do not know. Let me try if I can make it." In his presence he went up, came down.

He said, "I told you to just inform me."

He said, "Sir, there is nothing to inform now. I am grateful to you."

He said, "For what?"

He said, "For testing my impossibility. Very kind of you. Now at least I can go on the top of this pole with a stone in hand. And thank for you making me to do it, though it is impossible, though I thought it was impossible."

Faith moves the mountains otherwise stones are heavier for men. What is the power of the man, what his the real power of the person? Faith. What is the inner nature of the person? Faith. What is the essence of all knowledge? Faith. What is the greatest blessing of God? Faith. What is earned of everything? Faith. If you cannot have faith in self and you cannot give faith to others, you have not yet moved one step in life.

Why people say lying is a bad thing? Lying is not bad thing, lying is just a expression. Hallucinated profession. All people who hallucinate they lie. So why lying is bad? Because lie takes away the faith. If you say something, somebody will find it is not true, it takes away the faith. One person is gone. There is a very popular saying, kill yourself before you kill your faith. Things won't happen again and again. They happen here and there and they make and mar the personality, whether the personality is dependable or undependable. Who judges it? The surrounding, prakritiPrakriti Transcendental Nature. It is creation as we can experience it. It includes mind and matter. It is formed from the motion and interaction of the gunas. It is multi-leveled and evolved from the original consciousness of the Absolute. . For whom? The purkhaPurkha The great Being of existence. . And that is the total spirituality of life.

There was one girl in 3HO and everybody told me it is impossible. One day I called her, I said, "Dear, do you think it is impossible?"

She said, "No."

I said, "Why not?"

She said, "You told me everything is possible, didn't you?"

I said, "Yeah."

She said, "I believe you."

I said, "So long you believe me it is going to be all right."

Two months passed by, somebody asked me, 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. , it is not possible. I mean to say, are you thinking?"

I said, "We will call her again."

I called her, I said, "My dear so and so, do you have faith in me?"

She said, "Yes."

I said, "Oh it's possible."

A year passed by, even the local teacher freaked out. He said, "Sir."

I said, "Now put her on the line, be on the other line."

I said, "My dear, do you have faith in me."

She said, "Yes."

I said, "It is possible."

And after ten days exactly what she wanted happened. It became possible. He called me, "Sir, congratulations."

I said, "No, call her on the line." I said, "Do you have faith my dear girl?"

She said, "Yes."

I said, "It happened?"

She said, "Yes."

I said, "Then I want to tell you now you did it. I didn't do a thing."

"No sir, your grace, your...."

I said, "Nothing, it will hurt you if I tell you. Whenever I ask you do you have faith, you said yes, that was my faith. My dear daughter, you gave me faith. To be very frank with you I never had the faith. And everybody knew it is impossible. But whenever I talked to you, you told me you have the faith, moment you told me you have the faith scripture told me, once whosoever (?) infinity, infinity shall stand by that person through all polarities." I said, "I have read that and I have lived that. Moment you said you had faith, I knew it will happen."

She 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. , no, no, no now you are making fool of me. No, no, no, you knew it is going to happen."

I said, "Yes, I knew it is going to happen, that is why I told you ten times, do you have faith? You said yes. That's all a person needs."

Sometime sit down and check 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. , there is a one 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 call it temperamental self and faith. It is an ultimate essence of you. In Sikh ArdasArdas Prayer; the formal group prayer of the Sikhs. there is a word Bharosa daan. Bharosa daan. God, give us the grace so that we can trust people. You just say it very closely Dana sar dan Amritsar ki darshan itna bharosa daan, kes dan, bibek daan, bharosa, bharosa, bharosa is faith, bharosa is when you can have faith on someone. Most difficult thing. In a human nomenclature, in a human existence, in a human elevated 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. , in a human progress of divinity, the most difficult thing-to have faith. God is unknown. Oh you cannot have faith on a known person, he can freak you out, how can you have faith on unknown. You get angry on a little word. You start accusing your teacher for a hell of a time. You lie to your own teacher. You make up stories. One who knows your subconscious you consciously tell him that he is belittle? Because he is telling you what you know and you don't want to hear? You think this physical body, this bone and meat is all that what it is? Nothing beyond this physical meat? Look at the Roman record which they have found out.

Jesus, a so called son of a carpenter was a rebel, who had two fifty to three hundred followers, who was creating a lot of havoc and teasing people of his faith. On the saying of the council he was crucified on dated such and such, lo, that is the total record of that man. Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, was a rebel? After his death do today two hundred and fifty or three hundred people only follow him? Can somebody throw a stone on Jesus Christ on cross somewhere? People will come after you like a hell. Why? People have faith. It has become temperamental faith with hundred and thousand and thousands of people.

Is bible the word of God? Yes and no? Whatever they found is not true, they take it out. Rest is a word of God. I have brought this time a bible of eighteenth century, I am going to read it, lot of things we are going to find in that. World is flat, and the Lucifer, the Satan is going to push you through in the end of the world and you are going to fall in the pit of hell and you are going to burn, they never knew the earth was round, but what it matters, what it matters?

I tell you the story of faith, in Argentina there was a one man caught stealing. And there were three people with him. And they bet(beat) him to death, they tortured him totally. "Who was with you?"

"Nobody."

"What were you doing?"

"Nothing."

So the judge said, "I am not going to punish him. There is no evidence, police is no evidence anyway, you got him here, nothing doing."

The prosecutor was little clever. He said, "Do you do your prayer in the morning?"

He said, "Yes."

"To what?"

He said, "To the sun."

He said, "All right." He said, "Judge, your lordship, can at the rising time of the sun I'll have your audience?"

He said, "Yeah."

So he brought him there, he said, "Oh man, look to the sun."

He said, "Oh heavenly father's gift of life, pray to thee, bah, bah, bah..."

He said, "Now tell me did you steal?"

He said, "Yes."

"Who was with you?"

He said, "So and so."

He said, "My God, we bet(beat) you, we tortured you, we stretched you, we did every inhuman thing, you didn't agree."

He said, "I am professional."

He said, "Why now?"

He said, "Man, this is my prayer time, I am with God, I won't tell lie. Moment the sun will go up then you can't get out of me a word."

And judge said, "I have no word to punish him, let him go."

He said, "See, my God is so true, even judge has let me free."

Faith. Nobody can match with faith. Faith is nothing but an ultimate reality of self and it is nothing also but an attitude. Without faith the person is hollow. He has no foundation. And the homes and houses which do not have foundation nobody lives there. If you build a beautiful paper home, it should look real, you can never rent it, the city court won't allow it. Because faithfully it cannot be said that these beams can take that load. Do mean beams don't crack? People don't fall apart? No. But what is a code? A human experience in which the human knowledge has a faith that this much beam can get this much weight. It's a matter of faith, where there is a love there is no argument. Where there is argument there is no love. Then what is it? Should a person not tell something? No, suggestion is not excluded, one can suggest.

Love merges the two personality into oneness what is argument? Love is a giving and taking, somebody is giving a direction, somebody is taking direction, what is the anger in it? What is the dispute? Who is belittling whom? So long the ego feels somebody is belittling somebody, love is not yet born.

Concept of mind, until you will not know the concept of the mind, until you not know the self and mind, until you not dive down in your own mind, you will never can walk on the path of spirituality because spirituality is nothing but a pure white light. Hanky-panky, hocus-pocus won't work there my friend. Wearing robes and putting titles around you, doing the public relation, setting up your thrones, and setting up yourself, it won't make you spiritual. Closing your eyes and doing the rosary won't make you holy. Thousands of your disciples in the morning bow to you, will not make you great man if you have not found the greatness to yourself and that is the real concept. That is the real reality. Reality has no limited conception, you maybe poor, you maybe rich,

"Ek ney kahi, doos ney maani, Nanak jaaney dono giani."

Giani, gian, the wise, the ultimate, who is that? One said, the other agreed. Why other should agree? Because there is no two. God says, the God heard. Then it's anandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. , it's a bliss, otherwise argument. Otherwise arguments.

'Jithey kala kalithir vassey, uthey khado paani na sey.'

Where there is an argument and chik and chik and chaa chaa, there even the pot, house pot shall not have water.

You Americans know, this arrowhead water bottle, from which you drink water, dollar fifty. Husband says, "Why I have to change the bottle all the time, sometime you should do it, you deal in health reasons. You are freaking out after 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. . I'll drink tap water."

She said, "No, no, no I won't let you drink. I need spring water, you should change the bottle."

He said, "No, no I can't, I am dead and tired, I am not going to do it."

They start arguing. Argue so much finally he give in, goes and brings the bottle, breaks it on the way. Bottle is gone, water is gone. Why? Arguments.

He says you are health freak. She says you are just nothing, you do not know tap water is bad. Argument. Putting down each other. Separate each other. Because she feels he is a separate, he feels she is separate. Both live together under the same roof. They are not together, do have to gather their everything to become together. When there is a difference in gathering, there is nothing harmonious. When the machine is not harmonious, it creates sound. Sometime you have gone in a car, it starts giving (?) you always say what is going on. There is no smooth ride in it. Why? Because there is something wrong in it.

In your life so long there is something wrong somewhere, you got to get that wrong out before you can make it. That's very important. That's why all of us go to church, to synagogues, to temples, do every ritual but do not move an inch. Because we have never eliminated that wrong. There is a kanda, there is a thorn in us.

'Ju ju chale chupe dukh pavey jamkal sahe sahi dhandaye.'

The thorn in us and we walk with that thorn, as we walk it hurts. It pains. You know, if a little splinter gets in your hand, you work with it, more you work with it more it hurts. More it becomes septic. That is why people, spiritual people have become fanatic, ruthless, merciless, inhuman. There is nothing wrong with the religion, there is wrong with the person. There is a cavity, there is a pain inside, as he wants to cover with the load of spiritual rituals, more it becomes painful. But what if he goes to a doctor, he cuts it off, take the splinter out, cleans the puss, packs up with medicine, in couple of days the hand becomes all right, then he may do anything with it. It won't hurt.

Simple lessons in life are the best example of learning and teaching. Normally if you look at the history of great teachers they are always betrayed and they are never loved. Look at the history of all great teachers. You know why? It's the job of the teacher to test of the faith of the student. And faith of the student can only be tested by putting him through a weird situation. And moment you put a student in a weird situation he will react and sometime he will react so foolish the life of the teacher will be gone. Judith did it. Jesus was lost. Not that Judith was not in love of the Jesus, he was the most beloved one. Don't misunderstand the guy. He was the only one person to whom Jesus said, "If you feel so angry do what you want to do, do it quickly." That much ultimate infinite faith he had in him. People misread bible, people misread human history.

No, it was not right. It was let the other human to follow him know, if for truth and faith you have to be burnt alive on a hotplate it's not a bad game. Look at the torture. Month of June, temperature hundred eighteen and hundred twenty, burning pit of fire underneath, red hot iron and man is asked to sit on it. And one day he satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. , nothing happened, next day started putting red burning fire on his head. Sand.

"All right, take him to... sew him in the hide of the fresh killed cow."

"Aaaahaaaah you can take a bath in the river. Because ice-cold water on burnt body will be very painful and we will enjoy, all right we will take you there."

They are finding him today, gone.

Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. even crumbled at that human torture. But who didn't crumble? The one who was being tortured. He smiled. He said,

"Tera paana meetha laagey, namNaam , Nam The manifested identity of the essence. The word derives from Naa-ay-ma , which means "that which is not, now is born." A Naam gives identity, form, and expression to that which was only essence or subtle before. It is also referred to as the Word. pidarath Nanak maangey."

Thy will is sweet to me Lord.

With that tremendous torture, even those who were torturing were totally freaking out. They were ashamed on themselves for that torture, they said, "Oh he doesn't die, we did everything. If he dies we finish with man, we can't stand it."

But the man who is being tortured is calm, quiet and peaceful.

Their crooked mind came right on to spot, aahahaha river water, cold. You know when your body is burnt if you put a cold water on it what it does to you? It is a written record that body of 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. Arjun was taken in a thick sheet, it means it was just like a pulp. So much torture was done to it.

He said, "No, no Miya Mir, this is not the way. Let me go through this because I wrote with my own hand tera paana meetha laagey, thy will is sweet to me Lord.

It's a memorial day today isn't it? Long weekend. What is it? Memory of those who fell for the country. Isn't that?

Student: (-----)

YB: Why you remember them? Because if they would not have fallen you would have totally wiped out. Somebody gave in, somebody gained, somebody lost. For that balance you still remember them. It's a conscious effort. Because remember in this world, something you shall always lose to gain something. You will always lose ego to gain God. So long you have your ego, you cannot have God, so long you have your lies, you cannot speak truth. So that you can con yourself, you cannot be straightforward things are very simple. Whatever structure you may build to justify yourself my dear, you can't do it because something has to be given, something has to be taken, give up your animal, saint will live in you. Give up your saint, you will become a monster. Angry monster. Looking down at everybody, thinking everybody is cheating you. Why? Saint is not alive in you. Attitude of gratitude that yoga you have not learnt. You have not united with the totality of harmony of God; because you doubt yourself therefore you doubt everything. You have not let your doubt go, how can you have faith?

Human mind is nothing but a reflection of divinity of the self and you need to work on this mind, you have to train this mind. That is why we 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. , that's why we get up in the morning, that's why we meditate, that's why we do those rituals. What are those rituals? Those routines. What are those? To train ourselves. Training is required, why? For what? Because at the time of dead end of death it may be my routine to meditate. When the clutches hand of death will come and pounce on my system and I'll not have any nervous 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. my nerves will give in and I'll be in the coma of death, mind will not be in the coma of death, mind can immediately meditate. And meditative mind is divine and it is God in self. That is the beauty of meditative mind.

When you read gurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. , chant gurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. , read gurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. , you become be the gurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. and any time when anything unwantedly clutch on you, you say thank God, be with me.

"Yeh mana meriya sadaa raho harnaley, harnaal raho tu mann merey dukh sabh saarna angee karo karey tera kaaraj sabh savarna, sab na galla samrath SwamiSwami Master. ."

This is the anandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. you read everyday. So kyu mann avasarey, kahey Nanak mann merey sadaa raho harnaley. Nanak says oh my mind, be with God all the time. Why? Why Nanak said be with God all the time? Because there shall be a one moment of life then you have to be. If you miss that moment eight point four million times you have to reconstruct yourself to reach that point.

About that we will talk in our next temperamental mind, death and after death. And now we will meditate today in those couple minutes, could you please sit down erect and safe? And a very simple way fold your hands. Very simple 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. , just simple as you say SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Siri AkaalAkaal Undying. to some people. Just same way, fold your hands, very simple and bring it as much higher you can bring. Almost to the point of... where the vocal cord. The top finger will almost come near the eyebrows. But it has to have little distance and little slight angles, it's a very simple way. Do you see me? Have you understood?

Do it here, this time this is the first center, the neck and this cross of the thumbs on it is almost opposite to neck. Hands are like this, it's about sixty degree like that. Eyes are almost closed but nine parts out of the ten. And shabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. is very simple and it's very fast. It's like just Zen Buddhism people do it when they chant. Exactly that kind of chant. And it's very quick and sharp. Ek Ong Kar SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad Ek Ong Kar....but the lips must move, that's the beauty of it. Inhale deep and start.

The class chants: Ek Ong Kar SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad Ek Ong Kar....

(Chanting continues...)

YB: Inhale.

(Chanting stops.)

YB: You got my point, exhale, the point in this whole story is you should chant so fast and concentrate on lips so much you will forget breathing. Breathing will be obstructed. Couple of times breathing will be obstructed, then you will be surprised to see breathing becomes automatic. That is what they call it taking the eternal root. Once a person has that power he can alter his nostril and he can overcome his death. It is also known as praan siddhi 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. . Followed? See how quickly I have told you. The chant is exactly like this. Ek Ong Kar SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Gurprasad Ek Ong Kar.... and finally you will see my breath will be fading away. But if I am concentrating in the shabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. then I'll not care for the breath, doesn't matter what happens to it. Then body will suck the breath out and that will open up the nostril. With me, it will not happen because I have practiced it. But with you it will happen you will suffocate. And that suffocation is automatic. But in couple of minutes you will find the suffocation gone. You continuously breathe.

Students sing: May the long time sun shine upon you....

YB: 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.

People from Hawaii sent you love, they have rented a beautiful house on the top of the mountain and it's very cozy. All around there was a rain, that place had a sunshine. You can look at the (?) and be not in the garbage of the (?). Very pleasantly those ten people live there in such a peace and such a joy, it was surprising to live there in three days and amazingly one thing bothered me, I thought every time they are running the tape. To my surprise they don't work without chanting. It's a very new phenomenon, which I saw. They took breakfast they were chanting, they were eating they were chanting, they were working in the garden, they were chanting, they were cleaning their pool they were chanting, whatever those ladies and men do, you can hear a continuous melodious sound and you can never figure out who is who? They have built such a rhythm. And that was the good news to tell you somewhere some people are doing it. We used to do it in restaurants, you remember when we close the restaurant, clean the floor, we will all sit and chant and our all tiredness will go away. Now some people, restaurant people tell me they are tired and I couldn't believe it why. Because I know if they chant and work you can never get tired. Because parasympathetic nerve system, which comes and communicates with the eighty-four meridian points will always has infinite energy for the human to use. Sometime you forget lot of things.

(Students' laughter)

I think God is keeping me around only up to that day, moment you remember everything, I don't think I have to do anything, I must quit, right?

To be very honest with you I should quit now, physically. I should not be with you for a longer time, because to leaving you in the midstream will teach you how to swim. You follow what I mean? But you know, it's a will of God I can't hocus-pocus with Him, so. If you will not celebrate God's day, at least my memorial day you will celebrate. You are funny. Remember one thing today on Memorial Day that's what my asking to you is, chant and work, chant and live. You will never die. So we will talk next time, okay.
