What I am saying today and to you, you try to understand it. Try to understand you will be happy. Don't try to understand you will be unhappy I can guarantee both ways. Without spiritual integrity? Without?

Students: Spiritual integrity.

YB: No, person can be happy in spite of everything available in the world. You need not be spiritual, it can take time to be spiritual. It can take years to be 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. , it can take years to be a sadhoo or you can be blessed the very first day by a man of God and you can achieve the integrity which I am talking about in complete experience. That is a situation, which nobody can vouch. God is not in Espanola only, God is available in Santa Fe too, I mean to say don't territorize God. God is known, unknown and plus. The people who think that they know God, actually, actually they don't know God and people who think they don't know God actually they don't know God.

(Student's laughter)

So to know God and not to know God is to relate to the integrity. There has to be some divinity, there has to some grace, there has to be some basic understanding of God, God's work, God's surrounding and God's concept.

I don't believe that in a temple God is. I don't believe, that in temple God is. By doing a (?) to temple believing there is a no God in a temple, but doing a (?) to temple you will never ever reach God. I mean to say the possibility that you heard somebody and you insult somebody because your mind does this, because your mind does that. You have no spiritual integrity. You may have this whole world, you can become president of this planet, you can do anything you want, you may have the whole world at your command. 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. has said very beautifully something, which you do not understand. I have been telling you from last twelve years, twelve years my motivation to relate to you is not that you motivate to relate to me, that's not the relationship. My relationship to relate to you is to built in you the integrity the spiritual integrity so that you may be prepared to receive God if God chooses to sit in your heart. Because I know that God satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. in my heart, I have that feeling, I have that understanding. Beyond all the relationship I had that relationship. And I feel that if I am a person who can be blessed with that kind of experience and feeling everybody can be. I believe sincerely that way. I definitely understand that.

I have seen a person getting 1 O'clock and taking a cold shower and reading so many banis that BaniBani Literally "Word", Refers to the Word of God contained in the Sikh Sacred Writings; Banis refers to Sikh daily prayers. was running in front of her and she was running behind the Banis and when it come to the test everything went flop. I have seen that. And I have also seen a person who will never say SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Sat Naam , Sat Nam The essence or seed embodied in form; the identity of truth. When used as a greeting it means "I greet and salute that reality and truth which is your soul." It is called the Bij Mantra - the seed for all that comes. Sat Naam , Sat Nam The essence or seed embodied in form; the identity of truth.

NanakGuru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. picked him up in a lap and loved him so much and kissed him and hugged him, and he couldn't believe that either.

I have seen that I have said to somebody go and do it, he did it, it all went right, and I have also seen that I planned it gave in writing to somebody and the person tore off the paper saying, forget Yogiji, he is just mad man, he is not worth anything. I have seen that. I have seen people judging me, loving me, hurting me, insulting me, scandalizing me, socializing me, but all the relationship, which I have seen I feel very unfortunate that if you do not feel that there is a chance for spiritual integrity in you, which I mostly represent. I have practically given up my self-respect so that you can have self-respect. I have totally made a mess out of myself, I have no time, I sometime tell you yesterday it was so painful. I just wanted to rest for forty-five minutes I looked at the clock, I say, all right three to quarter to four, something like that, whatever the time was. I don't want to exactly give a time, because somebody will read my tape and say you were lying. Because you gave a wrong time. It is very difficult for me to concept, the concept of this Earth is very difficult for me, as concept of heaven is very difficult for you. Don't misunderstand. I don't believe that you even understand spiritual integrity, I'll like to explain to you. And there was a phone call and there was another phone call and there was another phone call, I never wanted to receive it, but I did picked up all the phone calls and talked, because in me my spiritual integrity revolted that people who are calling are in more need than my sleep, my nap. Therefore, my soul conquered my body and my mind.

Do you understand spiritual integrity in practical demonstration? That you answer the call. If you do not develop the spiritual integrity then you can only develop spiritual prostitution and I am using that word right here so that I can make you understand the pain of it. Then you will prostitute the spirituality. You will use it as a dumb. You will use it as a façade. You will use it as a cover, as a bait. Then God will be away from you as infinity. Therefore, it is deeply required that you must understand that in this lifetime you have to have spiritual integrity. Spiritual integrity is your behavior, your personality, your surrounding, your thinking, your talking, walking and everything. Because if we want to put 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. somewhere we definitely need to create a habitat a surrounding and an environment where we will like to worship.

I have seen any person on this planet, doesn't matter to which religion he belongs to and the simplest thing I saw I was once traveling with a monk. We were both going and in the afternoon he said to me, he said, "If you don't mind I do some prayer between this time and this time."

I said, "Hey far out, Muslims do five times, Sikh read five Banis, Christian only do things on Sunday, how come you on this Wednesday you want to do something?"

He said, "Well, this is something very long story I can't explain it to you, but will you bear with me?"

I said, "Fine, okay I'll be with you."

So we parked the car on the side. I was surprised the driver was surprised there was another person with me, that person was surprised and I wanted to see what he does.

So he went around, looked around and he found two sticks, one long and one short. And then he put some grass from there and there and then he went on the side of the road, down there and put the big stick under and put the other stick and tie it up and make a kind of cross and then satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down before it and meditated whatever he has to do. It was not a long story, it was just fifteen, twenty minutes. Then he untied the whole thing and spread the wood this way, that way, grass that way, came in the car started traveling.

And I realized this guy needs the object to help his meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. whatever it was. Those, those, two pieces of wood didn't mean anything and that certain weed didn't mean anything, but to bring into the point of his personal integrity or a spirit to worship, he has to get some help, some environment. You always need something for growth, some elevation. Whenever you know you want to elevate you need some air pressure. Some consideration should be given to 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. . Some grace should be left for devotion. Some integrity, human integrity should be used to use your language. And as a human, as a human I ask you one thing, leave sometime in your life to be with your soul and over and above that pray, meditate, worship, confirm, confine, do everything to conquer this mind of yours.

Mann jeetey jug jeet...

If you have manmath you want to follow your mind, far out. Must you follow your mind and I say to you today you will live here in hell and hereafter if there is any hell. I don't believe in it, but just to make you understand what hell is. Hell is a place where you are going to be burnt rest of your time and something and weird people will be there to torture you. It is something like that, we created lot of hell in the inquisition time. The concept of hell is a purely Christian. And they created that concept in those dungeons and I was, I saw one situation where if you don't believe in Jesus Christ poor sweet thing, I can believe what is done in his name.

There was a cuff, iron cuff and the guy was locked in with a wall that he can't move and this cuff goes on his head in olden days and there was a thing to move it and his head goes automatically like this and it goes seventy-two hours round up. Can you believe a human can stand a torture that his head automatically move left and right, north and south for seventy-two hours continuously with the power of that machine. Even after doing that if that guy will say I have a faith in Jesus Christ he can never seen straight.

(Student's laughter)

Islam did that. Islam did that, they totally misinterpret the scripture. Islam did that, that if you don't believe, a believe, one who is not a believer is a kaafir and one who is a kaafir if he is eliminated from this Earth, it's a act of merit. Now idea was to look deeply into it to understand what kaafir is. But it was so widely understood anybody who is not a Muslim is a kaafir, period.

Exactly what happened in Christianity today is not if you are not believer in Christ the Son of God you are a what they call it.

Student: (---)

YB: Satan. Somebody told me that I follow the Satan.

I say, "Blessed is the Satan, which made me to follow."

I feel that people because of their narrowness and because of their ego and because God, God gave you mind for something very beautiful. I asked God, why these crazy people were given mind by you. What was wrong then, one, two, three minds? Negative, positive and neutral?

The story in the scripture is very beautiful, which answer this question. When God separate the soul and gave it into the cage, the ribcage the confinement which is called the lifetime. You call the lifetime, we call it confinement. Period of separation between God and man. So when God gave the soul separation, soul said, "What wrong I did?"

God said, "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. ."

She said, "What in between the 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.

All right I accept your will 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.

I'll be neutral, I understand that, but tell me if I ever want to see you in that confinement what instrument I have?"

So God gave neutral mindNeutral Mind The most refined and often the least developed of the three Functional Minds. It judges and assesses. It witnesses and gives you clarity. It holds the power of intuition and the ability to see your purpose and destiny. It is the gateway for awareness. . First God gave negative mindNegative Mind One of the three Functional Minds. It is the fastest and acts to defend you. It asks, "How can this harm me? How can this limit or stop me?" It is also the power to just say no, stop something, or reject a direction of action. , so that life can continue. God gave positive mindPositive Mind One of the three Functional Minds. It elaborates, magnifies, extends, and assists. It asks, "How can this help me? How can I use this? What is the positive side of this?" that you can live happily. Then God finally on the request of the soul gave neutral mindNeutral Mind The most refined and often the least developed of the three Functional Minds. It judges and assesses. It witnesses and gives you clarity. It holds the power of intuition and the ability to see your purpose and destiny. It is the gateway for awareness. .

Why mind?

Because is the only one mental institution I have to call it a mental institution within a human body. I am not using it in a negative term, I am using it as a positive term. It's a mental institution in which beyond time and space you can realize God and the work of mind is it can take you with the same speed away from God, it can take you at the same speed towards God. Mind needs will and direction.

Lot of people raise this very sick question, I studied with you ten years what did I get? I agree and confess you get nothing. I agree and confess...

Students: You get nothing.

YB: But could you ask some other people what you get? They think you get lot. What you get a possibility of a spiritual integrity. What you got with me, what I got within me. I couldn't give you anything more and I don't claim it and I will not give you anything more. I have no relative, I have no friend, I have no enemy, I don't love anybody, I don't hate anybody, but I am a good actor.

I am a very professional actor. I am not very successful in Hollywood.

(Student's laughter)

Which is your Mecca, which is your place of worship. And I am a good dancer, I may not have a very good dance in Las Vegas which is your consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. . And I am very rich because I have the hand of divine with me, I am not rich according to your source of life. But with all this I have a very sincere experience. I have found out spiritual integrity. And I know when the temple is ready the deity will not mind to come and sit. Deity will come. When student is ready teacher will come. When time is ready experience will come. And this all can happen only with one simple thing, if you work towards cleansing yourself.

Some people do favor to come to the 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. . Lot of excuses. What is excuse between you and your soul? Soul is silent. Soul is not going to determine anything. But you must understand there is a one thing, which is very deeply very powerful. The relationship between soul and the subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. is established relationship. Don't misunderstand at all, soul does not relate to mind, mind relate to soul, it's a one-way traffic. The friend of the soul is the subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. , therefore, all subtle things in your life matters. Little things, little thing. It is a thing. This is a thing.

One day God called the God of death the main God, the big one, the big guy, big wig. He called the big wig, the big God, the G O D capital that kind. He called the God of death, this Mahesh, called Shiva and say, "Shiva your administration is rotten."

He say, "What happened?"

He said, "Look such and such person has to die and it is three months over the guy is alive what is going on?"

And He said, "Lord God I am very helpless."

He said, "What do you mean by helpless. You are Shiva. You can anybody, whatever I have created I gave you right that you can kill."

He said, "Well, you gave me the right I understand, but here I am totally helpless, useless and you try yourself."

(Student's laughter)

"If it comes to disconcentration then fact is all right I am your killing God and I am your power, I am your aspect, but I want to confess today that last three months, ninety days have gone over, over forty days have gone I am a trying my every trick, my every concept, my every best the guy is not being killed, period. I can't do a thing."

(Student's laughter)

God said, "Well, I am supposed to believe you, because you are my extension, but I'll like to see it myself."

So took a shape of a brahmin the old punditPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. and went to the house of this person and called in the name of God. The guy appeared, but the way he received, the way he was humble, the way he was subtle, the way he served, the way he took care of himself and up to the seeing off everything to the subtle minute detail was absolutely habitually divine. God came back and what follows after such an experience was a meeting.

God called BrahmaBrahma The Hindu God of creation, one the three primary manifestations of God. , God called Vishnu, God called Mahesh, God called all other Gods, they are lot of them and there was as conference in the heavens. The question was the man has deliberated itself through the very concept of a spiritual behavior that time and space cannot affect, and that is a fact. Spiritual integrity is a fact. Jesus Christ is not worshiped because Jesus Christ was a Son of God. No, I don't agree with you and you think that you are living in a demagogue. Jesus Christ the Yesu of Nazareth, which he was became Christ because he showed spiritual integrity at the time of test.

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. Partakar personified God was GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru.

That's why he had to sit and meditate on God when there was all torture around, all torture around is a very painful situation. We have seen you misbehaving on a little torture around.

(Student's laughter)

Little, little inconvenience. And what I am saying to you if you today want to barter with me what is the gain to be here? The gain is that there is a forced discipline, forced discipline to the point of self-discipline where there is a chance that you can learn spiritual integrity. I never worry when you want to leave. If you leave my one responsibility is over. If you remain my spirituality and my responsibility continues.

Then why I get hurt when you leave? I get hurt that it took you eight point four million lifetime to come to this day to learn the spiritual integrity and you are not doing it. And some of you very obnoxious they have every chance, they are continuing with one mind we are not going to learn it. Far out. Life will not come back. All your knowledge, all your secret, all your love, all your whole thing is only to please this dust, which is your temporary home. This planet Earth is not your permanent home. It's a temporary stay. And you are so obnoxious, so extremely naïve that what is non-reality has become your reality and what is reality has become your non-reality. Visitation right to Earth was your non-reality and you have totally made it a reality therefore, you do not have the chance to get that spiritual integrity. Soul is going. Soul is a traveler. Soul has to go. Soul cannot live here. However wrong soul has done, one thing soul has been granted that he shall be redeemed. Provided, provided you find the spiritual integrity.

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. Guru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. NanakGuru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. has said in very beautiful word, beyond that there is nothing to say,

If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. is self-explanatory that in this thaal means in this plate, I have put satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. santok vichaar. SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. means truth, santok means patience. Patience pays when I say, it is not something I say it from outside. Patience always pays. SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. truth, truth always will take away death from you. Truth never dies, I am never going to die. This body will die so long I keep speaking truth I will not die. My lies will die and my body is lie therefore, it will die. So those who worship my body those who relate to that they will die too. But whosoever will relate to the truth in me the satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. will not die. That's why sometime I ask people to open their eyes and look little higher, just not look there is a man. Don't look at me as a man, I am a vehicle to give you the spiritual integrity. And I am a vehicle 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. satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. in me 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. blessed me with spiritual integrity and there is no wrong in saying that to you. And you can get to that too. If that is not true what I am saying then the word 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 Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. are not true too. 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 Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. said,

"Khalsa mera satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. 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. pura"

Khalsa is my perfect true 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. . I know these modern days everybody is very scared of 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. . Ah 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. , what do you mean 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. Guru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. the father of the Khalsa has bestowed guruship. How can you deny that?

It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. , perfect true GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru.

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. pura, pura means complete.

And what is a Khalsa? A living spiritual integrity, its organic. And its brightness,

"Jab lag Khalsa rehey niaaraa

Tab lag tej dee-o me (n) saaraa"

Distinct, distinct character. It's not a common character.

Why? It is not bad thing to have distinct character because elevated self is not a common self, is that true or not?

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. said, "Live elevatedly" and for living in elevation there was a procedure. Procedure was relative to a life that if the rehitRehit Code of Conduct. , if these rules are being obeyed, automatically man will be elevated. Therefore, I say to you that I am very pleased that through 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. 's grace and through God's mercy I could be in a position to serve you in this Khalsa woman training camp. All of you who came, came through his grace and beautiful blessing and bountiful help came to your soul. Whether you pocket it or not it was your option. As far as I am concerned I was thinking this morning I have lived a century, half a century. Half a century is a longer time, everything else is a grace, extension. And with my experience I can confess before you neither there is any love here, nor there is any hatred. Nor anybody belongs to you, nor anybody does not belong to you. Nor there is everybody saint, nor there is everybody is devil.

Life is a continuous vibrations of up and down and in this up and down try to be neutral and be seated in your own spiritual integrity. It's the first step. First step is to feel that I am spiritual and then everything opens up.

I cannot forget once somebody told me, "Well you are spiritual because you are from India."

I say, "Well, you mean if anybody comes form Japan he cannot be spiritual?"

I know you have lot of excuses, when you want to prostitute your body your soul, your mind, you have to first prostitute your integrity. You have to be obnoxious. You have to yell and scream and be loud. You have to put yourself out of every discipline and everything I know, but I am trying to remind you today there is not a long time and many chances.

"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. Kripa thay bhagatBhagat A devotee of God. Kamayi, Taaye Maanas Dehi Payi, Iis Dehi Ko SimranSimran A deep meditative process in which the naam of the Infinite is remembered and dwelled in without conscious effort. Dey"

With 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. 's grace you got this body through worship of God you blessed with this body and this body is also worshiped by the angels. What you got angels wants that. Because through the sensitivity of this body we can have spiritual integrity, from the spiritual integrity we can make a seat to welcome God in our heart and when the God gets seated you get elevated and then you can say,

"Palo burey hum tarey prabhuji baley hum tarey"

Bad and good we belong to you O God, we belong to O God. Only then that realization comes then bad and good does not exist. It is a 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. . You have to understand it is a law of spiritual integrity that you can insult me, you can deny me, you can do everything to me and I cannot do anything to you. Do you want this helplessness? But actually this state of helpless is very enjoyable because you really enjoy that you have to do nothing. When we explain to you not to be subject to time and space, when we explain to you don't be subject to time and space that's what we say to you don't react. Reaction is vengeance. But you can act to elevate somebody who is very unfortunate.

I am very satisfied this year the way the Khalsa woman training camp has conducted itself. Except some people sneak out of security. I do not know why it was such a emergency situation that they had to lie to the system to get and run to the Espanola or to Santa Fe or to the surrounding area, it was very unnecessary, it was not very required. And I hope next year when you come you will bring with you the spiritual integrity. We didn't, we didn't pin point at you, we didn't begin negative and nasty because we wanted to keep our spiritual integrity by absolutely making you believe that we completely trust you. The idea behind is not that we never knew how much you are cheating and what you are getting in those cars and you could be searched. Rules permit us to do lot of things, but we totally blinded ourself with the hope that one day your own spiritual integrity will discipline you.

There is a very deep affection, much more deep that you understand, that one day your own spiritual integrity will enlighten you, will uplift you and will give you the experience for this you came to the planet Earth. It is my privilege to serve you this summer if God gives me extension of one more year I'll look forward to serve you another year. If God give you faith, I look forward to come and see. If God takes away the faith you could have gone to Miami beach and enjoy your life instead of being making me as your friends, you could have passed this time with your boyfriend. Coming to the Espanola you could have gone Las Vegas and make lot of money by strip dancing which is your national work. And if tomorrow atom bombs consume this country I'll not be sorry at all. Because God never gave you America to make it a gay country. God never gave you America to make it a country of pimps and prostitutes. God gave you this country to trust in God. And I don't care what you say you are not living it. Now I can say I went with you through the pros and con of you. I know what bothers you. It bothers you when you cannot mentally create a habit. But what I say to you is that I am not going to react, I am just going to explain to you. I still believe and will continue believing that your own spiritual integrity will uplift your soul and your own spiritual grace will bring you home enough wisdom. I don't want to pressure you.

You must be mad at me for many things, why I don't personally relate to you? I don't. Because you do not yet have that personal integrity built in you that even you can understand me. Yesterday night I was told that I am stretching the truth and I am not speaking the truth. In other words I am a liar. There is too much hassle around me, I am very energetic person, yes there is a hassle on me. I do not fit into your imagination, but I want to give you a chance to fit in my imagination. I don't need you, but you do need me, because I am a time clock, which is reminding you let us trust God. You don't want to listen, fine. It is your misfortune. It is your loss. If you don't understand me it is not my loss at all, because I believe two hundred twenty million Americans are doing what they are doing and one added to that will not shorten the strength or do something. But my pain is that if one has a chance, let us put it together. If one has a chance one doesn't make it, it's a tragedy. I believe if the AmritAmrit , Aamrit The nectar of bliss; also the ceremony in which a person dedicates their life to the Khalsa. the nectar can be produced inside and the kamal the lotus can be turned upside down and you can be enlightened, there is a possibility, but if you think you can put bourbon on the rock and drink and go to sleep and early in the morning you can put four cups of coffee and do your thing, most welcome. That's not my business. My business is to keep on trying and your business is to keep on goofing, that's our relationship. So long you are goofing you are worthwhile, because one day there is a chance you won't goof that's it. But when you want to stop goofing goodbye friend, it was the will of God.

Jisnu aap kyou karta kasley chingayeh, if God wants to put somebody to be crazy He takes away from that person the goodness of the heart. You are God's creation, I am a creature and the only duty, which I have got is to let you remember and make you to remember that there is a possibility of spiritual integrity. Therefore, please try to understand if you want to do anything otherwise or you are doing something otherwise, you are just goofing a chance and that too is all right. Because one thing you must understand God is a very simple little thing and doesn't have a lot of space to habitat lot of people. So just to get of all of you He created a lot of MayaMaya The creative power of the Creator that restricts and limits. It creates the sense of limitation that leads us to identify with experience, the ego, and things. Because of this it is often thought of as the illusion that blocks us from the spirit. But, as Guru Nanak (see Sikh Gurus) reminds us, you need not be attached to the productions of maya. Instead they can be used to serve and express the higher consciousness and spirit. Maya is simply Karta Purkh, the doing of the Great Being. Maya takes the ineffable into the realm of the measurable. . So you can mess around and don't bother Him. You understand? When a mother doesn't want to relate to the child she puts lot of toys around it, don't you do that? So that you can play around, my watch, my ring, my this, my that, my eyebrows, my eye lashes, my this, my that. God gave you all this free and you produced lot of paraphernalia with it and that takes lot of time. God is very powerful Almighty, it took Him about nine months to produce you and you are really Almighty, you have produced these millions of things around you. But idea is to keep you away to keep you in the game and once a while if your opportunity has guided you to come to the house 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. and if the opportunity has guided me to serve you I'll say create spiritual integrity. Its concept can give you concession to realize God into your heart. If you have not done so far still there is a chance. Even you hate me still there is a chance. Even you love me still there is a chance. If you are around me still there is a chance. All I am saying is please take this chance because this chance is the chance through which you can learn, you can be and you can understand the concept of infinity, which we call God.
