YB: I am late, right?
Student: No. (?)
YB: You said you are going to go for a peace march today, what time is that?
Student: We are thinking of leaving at 6:30
YB: 6:30, you are leaving?
Student: At 6.
YB: 6 you are leaving. So you are leaving no much time for me, right? Well, you want your men also to learn as you are learning?
Class: Yeah.
(Students' laughter)
YB: So do as a job, on 23rd and 24th of October, I am teaching men's course. And in men's course, I am going to teach lot of things in which I am also teaching them, the inner conflict of the male, which you can sneak out and read it, and you can exploit it whenever you want, but I won't tell you, I will tell them. Just remember, it is October 23rd and 24th.
Student: (----)
YB: No, no, no, no. Philadelphia, the center place; you remember that bell? The Liberty Bell? In the town where your father is going for the election? Aha, you said no; he is out and all that, what happened to that PR?
Student: They changed the district and they are going to give (?) have a representative (?) value for (?)
YB: So he is on a trial, right? Doesn't matter. Well you impressed our Governor designate very much; he was very happy. So what we are going to talk today?
Student: (----)
YB: Yeah, I am saying projection of prayer, I know the scientific subject, but I just wanted whether you remember you or not. Is Arlene here somewhere?
Student: Arlene? Arlene?
Student: She is coming.
YB: No, no, no...I don't see her, I saw her in the ladies' campsite; she is missing.
Student: (----)
YB: Yeah?
Student: (----)
YB: Okay, right, we will sit down and talk with her too. And who else is missing? You are back again you are good. Where is Cia?
Student: (----)
YB: Where?
Student: (----)
YB: And then what happened? Got operated?
Student: (----)
YB: No, sit down, sit down, sit down. Come on latecomers; please appear; put your chairs. May I come in ten minutes earlier to serve the chair first? So that, all of you can sit.
I am talking today the most mystique subject of human life, the projection and the prayer. Why I am calling it mystique because it has never been understood. Jews are as old as five thousand years, they know how to pray; Christians are as old as about two thousand years, they know how to pray; Buddhists are here for three thousand years, they know how to pray; Hindus are here for fifty thousand year, they know how to pray and this and that, and Shintos and this; and Moslems are here for about 17-1800, they know how to pray. If we all know how to pray, why we can't pray? Prayer is the power, why we are so useless at most of the time?
If it is true that prayer is the power, and it is true; there is no doubt about it. Then question arises there have been eight major religions, okay? And they are all told hundreds of religion and religious ways. Indians have the power of prayer, and South Africa has about fifty-sixty hundred religions, and Japan and China has all kind of religions, and Tibet was the place, where prayer was the only thing they knew, and they wanted to do all that. In Canada, in Toronto, almost every corner of the, as we have a gas station here, there on every corner of the street, or block, there is a church, or a synagogue, or something like that; they call it city of churches. Los Angeles have more churches and less gay as compared to San Francisco. There are more Rabbis.

, Indian, south Indian, Middle Eastern, there are people who think Christ has come. There was a full-page ad in all the major newspapers. Moslem say Mehdi will come; the Hindu say avatar will come; the Christian say the Christ will return. As without Christ, they can't do a thing. You know, you understand? Why all this physical rebirth, and all this being propagated, and every prayer is being emphasized, and do the prayer, and we do the prayers, and nothing moves right? Do you know the reason for it?
Reason is very simple. We have the gun, but we don't have cartridge bullet in it. We have the prayer, but we don't put our heart into it. As gun without a bullet is useless, it is nothing more than a stick. Prayer without a heart into it is nothing but a waste of time, but good waste of time. It is a psychological satisfaction. 'I did my prayer, therefore today should be all right; and if it is not, then you will say, damn, I did the whole prayer, what went wrong? Anyway, I will do it again tomorrow, or you say forget it, no prayer business. I did all my prayer; I did my all banis; I did the whole thing and nothing works.'
Nothing works because nothing is in you, which sticks there. You have been reading JapjiJapji
, Japji Sahib
The Song of the Soul written by the First Sikh Guru, Guru Naanak Dayv Jee. Saadhana opens with a recitation of Japji each morning at 3:40 am. A mantra, poem, and inspired religious scripture composed by Guru Nanak. Japji Sahib gives a view of the cosmos, the soul, the mind, the challenge of life, and the impact of our actions. Its 40 stanzas are a source of many mantras and can be used as a whole or in part to guide both your mind and your heart.
now for twelve year, and still you have not remembered it by heart, and you have not understood by heart. If baniBani
Literally "Word", Refers to the Word of God contained in the Sikh Sacred Writings; Banis refers to Sikh daily prayers.
has to be not understood by head, it has to be understood by the heart. And there cannot be any, I tell you something, just forgive me. There is nothing called love, which does not have the passion of heart behind it. If somebody tell you, he is in love with you, just raise the finger in front of that person and say, 'How many fingers are there?' If he says one, forget it, he is not blind; love makes you blind. Love is blind, you understand? And so long person tell you he loves you, and he argues with you, and does whole number, all he wants to befool you.
First sign of love is that it is blind, and first sign of prayer is, it comes from heart, and not from head. Now this is a prayer from head, 'I am in trouble, I am doing the prayer.' I was doing prayer this morning, 'God, what is going on? You made me sick; you don't want me to teach these guys? All right, then why don't you do one favor to me? Either make me so sick that I can't get up or leave me alone.' I felt it; it was from heart. It was not right; I didn't not fold my hand; I really didn't even close my eyes. I was just bugging Him just straight. I didn't feel bad about it, but if I tell you these kind of prayer I do, you will feel bad about it, what kind of man we got? We call him a teacher and spiritual man. He doesn't even use right words towards God, what we expect out of him?
But folks, you are very ritualistic, brainwashed idiots, and I used to be like that. I used to pray with a folded hand, I was told, close my eyes, sit straight, look good, and say almighty God, please help me, and my eyes used to do blink, blink, blink. Have you seen those people? Who can't even close their eyes, they go like this? They are scared to close eyes. I don't want to close my eyes; I want to open my heart; I want to tell Him, man I am being bugged, you might be almighty God but I am going down the tube. I want to talk to Him; I want to communicate with Him as a man to man, as a person to person, a friend to friend, a human to human. I don't want to feel Him outside me; also I don't want to feel Him inside me; I want him to be me, and that is the first projection of prayer. That's the first projection of love; and that is first projection of life.
All stream and tributaries meet together and become a river; all river get into an ocean; all ocean get into a steam; all steam becomes the cloud; all clouds go and touch and kisses the peaks, and they bring the rain. This is called the cycle of life. This is called cycle of love. It has been happening; it will continue happening; it is the way of life and anybody who doesn't create the cycle is out of life; and shall live in unhappy mud. You compliment and supplement the flow of life. If there is obstruction, start flowing on the side, keep going. Because your purpose is to reach the ocean so that you can become subtle again, you can become a vapor again; you can again touch the sky from where you came. Water came from where? It came from the sky to nurse the? Earth. So it must flow to the bottom depth that is called the ocean, and then it must raise up, and then go and touch the height, come down, that is called cycle.
There is nothing which God is doing you can do anything different. You can elaborate it anyway; you can concentrate on it on anyway; but what you can do when we are up there, right? And we can come out as drops. We don't come out as drops; we come as a hail, okay? What we call it? Storm. And there is one that twister. That doesn't bring us life; that takeaway our life. You remember those things?
Class: (----)
YB: You know something comes from the ocean, what they call them too?
Class: (----)
YB: Ah?
Class: Hurricane
YB: Hurricane, you like it? But these are the same forces. When they are normal, they are pleasant, they are beautiful, they are the life giver. When the same forces become uptight, negative, crazy, violent, they take away the life.
Earth has a very unique karmaKarma
The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action.
. You look at the earth and forget about manmade things, but all God made things are in cycle, in circle. You will never find a tree growing square, ah? Have you seen anything which God has created ever triangle, or rectangular, or hexagon, or a square? Because the basic cell of everything is square, it is round. You understand that? So what that circle or cycle means? It means complete. There is a cycle to our life, there is a cycle to us, but it is the merger. Merger is difficult because our egos make it difficult. I can't work with you; you can't work with me; because I don't like you, you don't like me. Who are we to like and dislike each other? I want my place; you give me my place; I give you your place; you want my place; sit here; sit there; get up here; get up there; I want you as a friend; I want that as a enemy.
Basic purpose of human life is just to be human, and deal with the life as a human. Don't become so bitter that somebody throw you away; don't become so sweet that somebody can eat you away; both ways you will be away. Neither become too much sweet, and not become too much bitter; just remain normal. In one condition, you become deep friend with somebody, and second day you start talking against that person; doesn't suit the life. In your life, you must project because God gave you life, therefore God can only relate to life, and if prayer has a life in it, it shall be accepted. If love has life to it, it will live. But the kind of drama you want, you please do that on Broadway. The place for your drama is in New York, not anywhere else.
You don't run your life, you run a soap opera. Soap opera is not life. Goodness is goodness; it doesn't come, doesn't mean from where it comes. Goodness is always goodness; take it. Filth is going to be always filth; it does not mean Espanola filth, New Mexico filth, California filth. Filth is filth; garbage is garbage; it doesn't matter where. Your idea that we runaway from here, life will be beautiful; if we runaway there, life will be beautiful; if we do this, life will be beautiful; if we do that, life is beautiful; you are running away from life, you are not willing to live life.
Americans are very mobile; they move. They are immigrant to begin with, and they remain immigrant to the end. Do you know the statistics how many people change their homes every year? How many people change their job? How many change their life partners? And now even they are going to swap children. We are so mobile as Americans that we do not believe that we have to put our roots anywhere. Because that is not our fault; we started as immigrants; we came here; we want to be best; we wanted to have the best; we tried ourselves to have the best; and if we came as a first generation, fine; if second generation, much more fine; third generation, more fine; but our urge to just get to best has never stopped. And problem is right there. We want to get to the best; does not know how. Sometime to get to the best we lose ourselves. We don't have patience to wait for the will of God, or to do and go on the path, which God has laid down for us. We want to make our own path; then (?) have seen (?).
We are very shamelessly impersonal. I am using very polite words; I wanted to actually say something different. We are shamelessly impersonal, and we do not even know the spelling of deceit, we are so deceitful with our own self. And now tell me how much prayer we have the right to pray when there is so much garbage in us, in our personality, in our character, in our being? How much we can live with impurity and filth? And then over and above, we think we can just fold our hand, and close our eyes and just look though two minutes, and we are going to press a button and something is going to work for us.
Our prayer is only we pray when we are in trouble. We don't pray because we love to pray. We relate to God as savior of troubles. We don't relate to God as our beloved. We think God is a police. And whenever you call the police, or the fire brigade, as that appeal, exactly God should come to our rescue that way. These concepts are not liked by God. God doesn't want to be worked out and exploited. The very concept of relation to God and projecting the prayer with the idea; we are praying when we want to pray; and we don't pray when we don't want to pray; we relate to God, when we want to relate to God; we don't relate to God, when we don't want to relate to God; does not mean a thing to us.

is a personal process in which you bring out your personal best, it’s a channel and the seasonal prayers which you do (?) there are people, I mean I can discuss with you million things, they don’t work. Their prayer is as projected part of life as breathing is because prayer is the power of life. Each time my Udayan, loves the pran and that’s why I breathe, union is right here. Udayan is the eliminating force, pran is the life giving force that is true, and when the pran goes out udayan waits for it till pran doesn’t come udayan doesn’t go anywhere. Pran goes out and comes in, it comes in for what? For union with udayan. Have you done sometime udayan bandh? First is Mool Bandh, Mool Bandh is root lock, then there is a udayan bandh called diaphragm lock, then there is a neck lock, and three locks are known as great locks. The pran, the breath does not come in your body if udayan is gone because then pran has nothing to do.

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

He said, “Okay.”
So he told Laxmi to be in his house so everything became regal, everything became wonderful, everything became, but the guy started treating Laxmi as a maid, do this, get this, do this, do that, it went on for a while. One day he was surprised to see all the glamour and everything just fell flat just like one, two, three gone. He got very worried, he meditated again, and NarayanNarayan

He said, “Lord I want to see you.”
He said, “No way, I can’t come.”
“Why not?”
He said, “I left my wife in your house and you treated her like a servant, you didn’t treat her like a good guest, you didn’t have any respect for her, so she got mad and she left and I know what you want you don’t want me, you want her back again, is that true.”
He said, “Yes Lord that is true.”
He said, “She is not coming.”

There are lot of students who have got who tell me I am a idiot, I am nobody who want to deal with you as a man you are nobody, what the hell they know who am I and why should I even bother. My only care is these idiots have taken in lifestyle to get to God and GuruGuru
That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word.
and why should I be anybody indifference to it. There is a destiny involved, what is my personality? My personality is not involved in anything. What is my personality to them? They do not know even I am going to talk, what I am going to do, what I need, what I want to eat, what is my desires, what is my wishes, nothing. They think I am a monkey and they can put a chain around my neck and make me dance and if I dance according to their chain I am very spiritual, if I don’t I am good for nothing. They don’t need me, they need a monkey to fulfill their status of desire, not even desire.
You don’t pray, you only fulfill the status of your prayer, you want to look prayerful, you want to look religious, you want to be religious, forget it, that doesn’t work. Few GurbaniGurbani
Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
took here, few Bible here, few seminars here, you think you can make fool of God who created you? Then you do not know the geometry, part cannot be equal to the whole, that is simple law, you are a part of God, you are not all God mighty and you think you can make God crazy and go around you, it cannot happen. Project towards God as a part of God, you can never mix oil and water, but you can always mix oil and oil, you can always mix water and water, go towards God, fine, be Christian, be Jewish, God knows be anything I don’t care, get out of here and get to God and get to God as a part of God, not you egomaniac, egocentric, crazy human being who wants to run around God as you think it is a spinning ball you can spin around with your finger, that is not God, that cannot be God, and that cannot be prayer. You can build a sixty million dollar worth of a church you go and pray there, I can give you in writing there is no God, there is sixty million dollar there, but that hungry man who stinks, who is lying down curled under a tree base who cannot even get up and fold his hand when he remembers God, God is with him. May be God may be there and He may not even want to look at it and you can build plush things.

, it has to be in your heart. Prayer comes from heart, paraphernalia comes from…
Students: Head.
YB: Head. So choice is yours.
Prayer is a projection, prayer is a projection of what? Self. Become God you will merge in God. Arey, listen it’s a simple theory to make you human being He send you here, so long you are human you will be here, if your body cannot carry you your soul will be here, ghost, holy ghost or ghost is the same ghost, there are ghosts, either you are a ghost with a body or you are a ghost without body it is your problem not mine, but don’t misunderstand that you are going to get to God. When you become pure and simple and merge in God you will get to God,
‘Binn boleya sab kuch jaan daa.’
‘God knows without even speaking a word.’
We speak to each other to showoff our ego. You want to conquer each other, so sometime you do and verbalize prayer because you want to conquer God, God bless you I have no problem. I only speak to God when I am frustrated and I tell Him, I say, “Listen man, you are God and I am nobody I understand that, but I am really, totally frustrated. You are making peepillapoop out of me and that is not going to work for you, neither for me, well go ahead.” I say, “Do something right or freak out, then there will be all freaks and people will say it’s a God of freaks, that’s what you want and if you want really good and good going for you make these people better and better and better, really work hard. Arey you created, you are a God, it is your mess, what do you think somebody can clean it, for what?” Piece of bread which you have to eat without butter? Same way you do in life, ‘I love you, I love you but you didn’t bring flowers to me yesterday therefore I don’t know whether I love you or not.’
Students: (Laughter.)
YB: Now your love is hanging on flowers. ‘Last night you went to bed you were tired but you didn’t kiss me, my God.’ You are seasonal, conditional, demanding, bargaining, and love has nothing to bargain, love is not a business, love cannot be sold and bought, love has no condition, when you put a condition on love, love evaporates. You put a condition on water, put him in a tank it will evaporate, it will go, you let it flow it will keep living. So just understand… this is not your time to go? How much more?
Students: (----).
YB: Okay.
Just try to understand love and God and God and love are nothing but a projection of your own self. Those who can love they can be God, those who are God they can love, they have certain signs, they are kind and compassionate, kind and compassionate, thou shall not kill, those who love life shall not like to kill, those who kill shall not love life and those who say let me live and somebody die are really bum because there is no such procedure. First sign is to be kind and…
Students: Compassionate.
YB: Second is be righteous and organized, circle, complete, everything, look at the pros and cons, don’t just jump into it head long because that is called pursuing the greed. Whenever you will feel you will pursue the greed you will fall on your face because greed is never infinite. Anything which is a finite shall have a dead end and dead end is dead end folks. Be courageous and…
Students: (----).
YB: Be organized or courageous, be courageous and organized and what is the third principle, third principle is be graceful and majestic. I didn’t say be rich and poor, be poor or rich, I didn’t say that, please don’t misunderstand me, these qualities of human behavior can be with poor equally as with rich. If you have one blouse to wear you can wear it clean, but you may have three hundred blouses and you may look dirty. And when I say you be kind what is kind? Kind in language, kind in your presentation. The idea of a woman is she must present herself to the occasion, she must grace the occasion, she must present herself to the occasion, she must grace the occasion, her language, her behavior, her projection should be kind. So always if you want to be respected use the word please, please would you do this for me, I shall be very grateful if you kindly attend to my one of the question.
If you are a bullyboy or a tom girl you can have your own path, what will happen? People of compassion and kindness will become silent towards you and people of strength will become violent to you, both ways you will be lonely. If you don’t have kind words, you don’t have kind way of speaking, you don’t have kind behavior, and if your kindness is not there in your behavior and in your projection people who are graceful, people who have consciousnessConsciousness
The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality.
will become silent towards you and people who have strength and anger and stamina and who can be hurt and injured they will become violent towards you, in both relationship you will be the loser. You understand that and you don’t want to lose.
It is my desire that you may become you, once you become you, you will be happy and once you become happy you can make everybody happy, it is not difficult therefore please recognize life is nothing but a projection of kindness out of you and God is nothing but godliness which is your projection. If you want to seek perfection be divine, be godly, because God is only perfect, everything else has a defect.
‘Jo Upjho Sobinsay’
‘Whosoever is born shall die.’
God therefore is never born, therefore shall never die, that’s why God is God plus, so it is that plus you relate to and you should relate.
Your life is your own projection and if your projection has no kindness in it, no compassion in it, no grace in it, no organization in it, no courage in it, you better not project at all. Because when you project wrong you may not get wrong back but you will get one thing definitely–silence; silence is the greatest weapon, silence is the greatest punishment, when God was silent, shunya, it didn’t exist, when God become creative, communicative, it spread His light, it spread His grace, that’s why we are here to praise the Lord.
Jesus died for his sins and our sins both together, but it was just a incidental or accidental or really communicative death, those who have faith, I am not talking of the Jesus freak, I am not talking of those Christian who hate everything else if you are not a Christian, I am not talking of the egomaniac in the name of the Christ, I am talking of some real few humble Christians, they are very affectionate, very loving, very caring, they exist too.
Many of you have gone to India, I am not talking of the Sikhs you met who are politician and who are rich and all that because that’s where we relate, basically we are American and we need comfortable environments, but those who went a year ago, remember and we went to (?) and those places. Some of the quilts you slept on came from those people who had only one possession and that was only one quilt, they didn’t care their quilt will become dirty or that will be torn up or anything they just put little weeds underneath and put a quilt under and then put a good quilt over so that you can be comfortable and then when you were sleeping they put another quilt over you so that you can be warm. Because I remember when I was sitting there, there was a quilt under me and I looked at it, that was a family quilt, they don’t give that quilt even to a king, they put it down for us to sit on, I couldn’t believe it.
Arey one who has a million dollar if he give you hundred dollar, he give you nothing, one who has a hundred dollar give you hundred dollar give you hundred percent. What you give? Do you give things for your ego, give your things so that you may be remembered after it or you give because you want to give because you feel it is God and you give for the sake of God in you?
Try to understand that purpose of life is to project to life, not garbage, not anger, not ego. All this what we project is totally unnecessary. There is no reason in life to be rude.
Tomorrow we will talk about the inner balance and the prayer, we will complete. Are we teaching tomorrow? No?
Students: (----).
YB: Monday is tomorrow for you, good. Oh Bibiji has arrived, class stand, class sit, no, no, no.
Students: (Laughter.)
YB: Oh sometime she has to come late so that she may be recognized.
Students: (----).
Students: (Laughter.)
YB: That’s my way of joking with her, don’t take it seriously.
Students: (Laughter.)
YB: So you have any good question to ask me, yeah.
Student: (----).
YB: You can make a bad act towards a person, you can heal it, you can stitch it, but you can’t takeaway the scar, that’s the way, there is no way. That’s why they will say think before you speak, don’t speak after thinking or don’t think after speaking. Damage done can only be healed by forgiveness on the part of another person, therefore a individual identity becomes dependent on the other identity. That’s why don’t do damage to anybody, damage to yourself is our own problem, that’s why when you insult men of God and talk to them rudely, allege them, say things which are nasty, do character assassination, and all that kind of stuff, they forgive you. Oh father forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing, that’s a ultimate kindness.
I can bet with you one thing, if I have to teach you and I am in India and you come to me as my student, I don’t think you will, more than two of you will stay because you have absolutely no rational even a blueprint how to relate to a teacher, none so ever because I know I studied with my spiritual teacher. Arey don’t be foolish just one time in your life just to relate to me with your own pure mind I am a human being, I am not perfect, I am not saying I am God, I am nobody, all right, you become somebody and just relate to me neutrally, try that and see what happens, try it once a while so that at least if I am known to you, I have something unknown of me, why can’t you relate to that, try it. I am just a simple man, I owe you, you know why I am teaching here, why I am sitting here tonight because somebody taught me, at some evening somebody satSat
Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself.
before me and told me, I owe him, I don’t owe you. I was very rude at many times that’s why I got you all.
Students: (Laughter.)
YB: Arey you think it doesn’t hurt? Up to forty years of age nobody even have the dare to look in my face, on my face you tell me I am a mean, I am idiot, I am son of a bitch, I am this, you have given me letters which are on record of Sikh Sikh Dharma
A living experience of values as taught in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
dharmaSikh Dharma
A living experience of values as taught in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

, you have written more abuses to me than anything else, I have been slandered and my character assassination has been so wonderful that thank you, I feel so immune, but there is a desire I have a love also, I feel with all what you are doing to me doesn’t matter so long you reach your place. You know what kind of love I have got?
There were two ladies and one was the mother and one was not, so when they got down one grabbed the child, she said, “It is my child, it is my son.”
And she said, “It’s mine.”
She said, “It’s mine.”
So they both fought and finally police came and took them to the court, matter went before the judge and judge called the, that midwife, “The child is five year old, these two say mother, just check it out who could be pregnant five year ago.”
She came and she said, “Yes they both were pregnant five years ago.”
Because they judge it from the scars you leave how big they are. Everything was failed, they tried every corner and when everything failed the judge ordered, “Put this child in the center and cut it half; not this way this way, half of the portion give to this and half the portion give to that.”
And when this was happening now one lady said, “Wait, wait, wait, I give up my claim, give her the whole.”
And judge said, “Give the child to her because that is the mother and that is the woman.”
Andar nahi avi, andar nahi, what is a Andar? She doesn’t have that nerve to be a woman and a mother, one is a woman, other is a woman, but one has the nerve of the mother, other doesn’t have the nerve.
You sometime do not have the nerve to be a student. There is a personality, there is nerve to be a student. You think by bitching me and by abusing me and ruining me and all the time making me look like a dirty person is there something I am gaining, no, I am just praying that out of all that come out should be that you can find your GuruGuru
That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word.
, you can find your God, you can find your liberty, you can find your redemption, you can find your way, you can be as a human being what you came for, I have no interest.
What is the interest of the ocean? Lot of water comes in, lot of water evaporates, ocean remains ocean and that is a prayer, that is the power of the prayer, you become original, you become real, you become essence, and you have the nerve to be a human being.
What we are going to talk tomorrow?

The class sings: “May the long time sunshine upon you…”
YB: Hey sing properly sit down.
