And Hari Har Singh going to have a wedding anniversary, cookies will be served, that's a fun. What I am going to talk to you was so essential, I know I am leaving tomorrow morning but I did not want to leave in pending and I thought it will be better we'll share (?) somebody has the money for 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. , this goes to GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. (?).

(?) GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. Terath is on a guard duty today, I told him, I said, "It is my class time."

He said, "I am doing it, that's what you are going to teach in class."

I said, "That's true."

(?). All class teaches you so you can do impossible possible. Wow, look at this, these are the (?) and this guy stick in (?). Put them on the altar (?).

In our life this is how it is folks and bear with me very slowly, I am not going to go very fast and push the point. We sing a song and we do and it is totally American, am I right, "Happiness runs in a circular motion," is that American song by some band I think I don't know, which band it is? Huh?

Student: (----)

YB: Delavan, incredible (?) sang a song in America, "Happiness run in a circular motion," is that it. Life is like a little boat upon the sea. You can have,

Students: (-----)

YB: You can have everything, this is a very important line, you can have everything anyway, you can have everything anyway, if you...

Student: Let yourself be.

YB: Huh?

Students: Let yourself be.

YB: Let yourself be. Why? Because that's the only way to happiness. And then it was American song which he wrote, it is called the song of the Khalsa. Many speak of courage, speaking cannot give it, it is only in the face of death, if we live it. Now, we have a life and life is just a life. Life is given to us by God. We have never accepted ever that God is the owner, we have never accepted that this planet belongs to God. We always act, think, feel and hassle that this is my home, this is my this, this is my that. We always put our ownership over God's ownership. We always forget that we were born empty handed and we have to go empty handed. We always feel that I have got a hundred dollar, I should have two hundred, then I should have three hundred, I should have four hundred or I don't know how to get a hundred dollar. There are two things we do; I can't make money, I can't get money. If we are not making it, we are insecure, if we are making it, we are insecure, insecurity is the same. There is no difference in insecurity. If everybody knows us, we want the whole universe to know us, if universe knows us we want the space to know us and nobody knows us, we'll cry, nobody knows us.

Fact is that we are not innocent, we have lost our innocence. Let us look at the man born as a child; when childhood is gone, they just remember the childhood. When I was a child, I was this, this, this.... When I was young, adult, I was this, this, this... I am a old man this, this.... Fundamentally childhood is happy. Childhood is happy, if you have understood the fundamental of the childhood, childhood is to (?) to grow, grow with the values of God. Youth and adult who is happy, if you can live with the values of God, old age is happy, if you can die with the values of God.

In childhood you get a toy, you are so searching, you want to break the toy to find, how it is. When you are adult, you break the relationship to feel how it is. You are an old man you become senile and bitter, you break your ties of smile and grace. Is it life? What are your assets? Oh, I have got this beautiful ten rooms, bedroom house, with six bathroom and two half bathroom, I have three cars, I mean to say, it's all... That's the way we judge ourself, that's the way we assess ourself, that's the way we know ourself. We have never told anybody ever, I am a very beautiful, bright man in a bliss. We are even ashamed to introduce ourself like that.

Look at a man child born, look at his hairdo, look the same man when he is adult, look at the hairdo; they won't let the beard grow doesn't matter what. They shave it twice a day. Look at the old man and his hairdo, same thing. As a child he was a child looking child, as a adult he is trying to look as a child, as a old man he is willing to die as a child, he refuses even to change his shape, his figure or his personality.

We don't trust God, we don't trust ourself, we don't trust Mother Nature and we want whole world to trust us. We do not relay and create a relationship with our soul, we do not have any control with our mind and we have no check and balance on our tattvasTattvas A category of cosmic existence; a stage of reality or being; a "thatness" of differentiated qualities. In total there are 36 tattvas. Each wave of differentiation has its own rules and structure. The final five tattvas are called the gross elements and have the phasic qualities and relationships of ether, air, fire, water, and earth. , our body and we want to be happy. We start as dishonest, we tell our children become rich, become a doctor, become a lawyer, become a successful businessman, become something to be successful here. We never tell him become divine, become saint, have no duality, live to reality, Ang Sang Wahe Wahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. GuruWahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul.

JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. Ki Fateh, we don't tell them all that, we don't introduce our children to God direct, we don't give them those values, those infinite value, that perpetual prosperity and then we expect that our children will not be miserable. We make them miserable, be beautiful, be sexy, go on dating, have a fun, have good sex, have good sense.

What your sex and sense do for you? You can hide your corruption, your dishonesty, you can put the hook of your life into somebody's life and you can bait it and have a string to pull the rug under the feet and see another man dying like a fish. You are haunted by insecurity and you are hunting others people wealth, happiness, security, body, whatever. Is that the way to live, is that the way to live and let live, is that what love is? I love you, I screw you, you love me, you screw me, isn't nuts and bolts, what is this? Is just screwing, through screwing, under screwing, over screwing, left screwing, right, is that all, are you all carpenters? You know nothing but nailing down and nailing and hammering and hammering and nailing, this all your life is? Can you just not be, just to be? Have you all the time to decide to be and not to be? Why don't you listen to Nanak and let it be?

"HukamHukam An order from the Guru. rajaa-ee chalana Nanak likhiya nal,"

God's command shall prevail. You have a twenty percent knocking way, you can knock your head left and right, freeway is a freeway, you can change as many lanes you want. But if you keep on totally changing left and right police is going to tell you; are you drunk? You are supposed to give signal to change a lane, otherwise you can meet an accident.

Your life is your own prosperity.

"Pehley BaniBani Literally "Word", Refers to the Word of God contained in the Sikh Sacred Writings; Banis refers to Sikh daily prayers. Pralabdh Pachay Bano Sareer."

Your destiny is written, wealth for it is written,

"Selpathar me janthu pai, thaaka, rejaki ka tharia"

Even the life which is born in stone has its provision there. Did you nurture your spermatozoa? Did you help your spermatozoa go into egg? Did you help him to fertilize your egg? Did you went into your own belly and like pottery you shape the child? What you do? You do three things; complain, question and doubt. Doubt and duality shall kill the reality and it will kill the prosperity. Opportunities are going to come, they are with you, they shall come, there is no way they won't be with you but question is when you are shaky grounds and you are moving bastard, where the opportunities will land.

Arey, no aeroplane can land without a strip, some, some way has to be, some landing space has to be, some permanency has to be, people should see you moody all the time, bitching your surrounding, complaining all the time, being insecure, spreading it all around and you want people to come and trust and say, "Here is my hundred thousand dollar, keep it."

There is a slok, you always read,

"Pavan Pavan Guru Literally, the "breath of the guru." It is the transformative wisdom that is embedded in the patterns of breath, especially those patterns generated in the expression of naad in sound or mantra. GuruPavan Guru Literally, the "breath of the guru." It is the transformative wisdom that is embedded in the patterns of breath, especially those patterns generated in the expression of naad in sound or mantra. Guru 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. Panee Pita Mata Dharat Mahat, jesh raat dahee dayh keli sab thilak, sanhayeya, buryayeya, vachithar, karmee aapo aapanee ke nerai ke door"

It is your actions which decide how near you are to God, how faraway you are to God.

As much you are near to your ego that much you are far away from God. You have to take shelter. You are sometime half religious, you are even afraid to wear a BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. . Why you are afraid? Because once you wear BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , then you have to act right, it put you out and without putting your out and without putting your neck on the line you are never going to be trusted by anybody. People who live in halfway house, nobody trust them, and are you going to live throughout your life in a halfway house? Isn't not very essential to complete what you are born to complete? Why to give distance to your destiny? Prosperity is waiting to come and kiss your feet. But you have to stabilize yourself. You need a vitality inside, 'Cherdi Kala,' raising the KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. or Cherdi Kala is same. As a Sikh you are have to have Cherdi Kala, so that you can do sarbat da phala, be good to all. How can you be good to all if you are not good to yourself?

Your greatest mantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. is, I don't know, I can't say it, I can't do it, can't, can't, can't and when you can't, can't, can't all the time and you want yes, yes, yes, happen, happen, happen, miracle, miracle, miracle, what are you talking about? Just test it out, have a gratitude, attitude of gratitude, see how many things comes to you.

You used to have a teacher 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. Bhahan, remember the guy. In the state of zero and nothing, he sang a song, "One day the day shall come, when the all the glory shall be tine, people say it is your, I shall deny it not mine." These are the days when he used to wear newspaper glued together as a chappal, borrowed shirt and a pant on a loan, it is his life. For weeks together, he never get a food, never ask, never begged.

In the coldest Toronto, sometime the house which was given to him by the Government of Canada and furnished by them, he couldn't enter because those of his beautiful, wonderful, marvelous relatives living there will not open the door at night, because it is too cold to get out of the quilt and he used to freeze outside, how much you can run your car to keep it warm, it can heat up and burst out, he didn't care.

He even accepted a job of a night security officer, though it was a job of a janitor, so that he can have a cozy place to do his 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. and have a bathroom to take his shower and at night then he has not to wake up his those wonderful, beautiful, marvelous relatives to open the door. He is the same 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. Bhahan now, same way because he gets what God gives, he not only reads from 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. ,

"Teera, paana meeta lage naamNaam , 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. pardharth Nanak mange"

Thy will will speak to me oh God, I ask only thing if you can provide, give me the remembrance of your holy name. He also reads it,

"Nak, Nath, Kasam Hath, Kirth Thakey Dey, Jahan Daana Tahan Khaana, Nanaka Sachey."

We are like camels, there is a nail in our mouth and string is in the hand of God and our action and reaction are pushing us together, pulling us together; and where I have to eat, there I should eat.

Just now I met a beautiful Sikh family, a brigadier from Chandigarh came with a prayer that this time he is going to see me. They have been trying to find this place from last three days, they were stationed in Albuquerque and they left in the morning to find it out, they missed (?) you know, they showed up.

I said, "Please sit down, you can have dinner with us and we'll see that you go back completely."

He said, "No, no, I just came to see you, I have seen you, it's all it is, we are satisfied."

Twelve thousand miles plus all the days of hustling and hassling was satisfied in one hour. You live with me and you are never satisfied because we have no communication. I am intuitive, you are impulsive. You think I say things to you to control you. I want to think, say things to you so that you can have your tomorrow in your own hands. All you have a memory of yesterday, then misery, misery of yesterday, all you have the misery of facing today, what you are going to ask tomorrow? You need prosperity, you need projection, you need a radiance where you can find light. You need to spread that light, you are part of God. Your sole purpose is to have relationship with your soul, your sole purpose is to "Mann jeetey jag jeet," That you conqueror your mind and break it in like in horse and put a saddle and ride it. What are you doing? Your mind is riding you. You like a worm, you know that little thing what they call it web thing, you create your web, spider that little thing creates the web to catch others, if nothing comes in, that spider dies in his own web. Your whole action, your whole projection, your whole talking, your whole approach is to lay a net. You do nothing but network. And what you get, what a fisher, fishing man enjoys, to put a bait, put a hook into that poor little thing and string him her out and let that fish die in suffocation, pain and tragedy. What the fisherman do? Goes and lays a big net, poor things, innocent enjoying their life, catch them, roll them out, kill them and live off of that death. That tragic painful, death he enjoys it.

A hunter goes, kills a deer with a high blast rifle; bullet cost one dollar, twenty cents, five cent whatever and then he makes a trophy and hangs in the living room, a act of his hero ship, he killed, same way you do, you meet a friend, you love them, you net them, you gain their trust, you are very polite, you date them and you are very romantic, you are wonderful, and what happen thereafter, you shit at them and they shit at you. Arey, shitting once in the morning is okay, but all the time poopy, it is called diarrhea, it is not healthy. Once a while, twice, three time going and pee is fine, all the time pee, on everything, you will stink. You are not a urinal. You are not a commode, you are a human, you love, you romance, you talk, you be and everything and then what happens to that love, you just grow up. The same man you love now you hate, you can't even talk.

Your insecurity is more important than your security, your truth is less important than your lies? Why it happens? Because you have no real life. You dream at night, you dream during the day and finally your dreams become your reality and when dreams become reality, there is no identity, no personality, then you live lies. If somebody wake you up, you say he yells and scream and finally your own dreams kills you. With your dreams you have gone so faraway from realities, it is no practical applied 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. . Everyday you deny opportunities and prosperity and then you complained.

Your behavior is never stable, you are not dependable, you are all the time depending on others for love. You are beggars, you go out and beg love. Isn't the flower of the rose ask you and begs your love and your attention? No, where there is a rose flower, you will pay attention. As you go near you have the fragrance but you go to paper flower, paper, oh silk rose is prettier than the natural rose. You have no fragrance. What do you do, (?) five and all those fragrances you put on your body? You have no reality, now touch with it even. You have no fragrance. You have no goodwill because you do not have any will.

You fluctuate. At least people think after fifteen days there is going to be a full moon, nobody knows when you will shine like a full moon and nobody knows when it is going to be dark moon. We talk to you, we sit down, love, we have all fun, you are bright, beautiful, like a full moon after half an hour. We call, 'How are you?' I don't know. Then you want there should be relationship, there should be trust, there should be dependability, there should be love, who is fooling who?

First you are a light of God, you create darkness and then you find light. Somebody once has a lantern in his hand, he ran around and looking, looking somebody said, "What are you looking?"

He said, "I have put my lantern somewhere."

He said, "It's in your hand."

He said, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

He said, "You never asked, you were looking something, I was asking what you want, you never told me, you say, I am looking, looking. So to help you I started looking perhaps something I can find for you. Finally there was nothing I asked what do you want, you said, "I have lost my lantern" that's in your hand, why you are wasting my time and yours?"

You are all trying to find God, you have a soul, you have no relations with it, where you are going to find God, God is in you. God and me and me and God are one, there is no duality. The day God will leave you the soul will be gone, as beautiful you are, you will be dead, stiff, uptight. Your eyes will be eyes, they can't see, your nose will be nose it won't breathe, your mouth will be mouth it won't speak, your lungs will be lungs they won't breathe, your heart will be heart it won't circulate and these tattvasTattvas A category of cosmic existence; a stage of reality or being; a "thatness" of differentiated qualities. In total there are 36 tattvas. Each wave of differentiation has its own rules and structure. The final five tattvas are called the gross elements and have the phasic qualities and relationships of ether, air, fire, water, and earth. and these cells of the ten trillion cells of the body will start disintegrating and dying and stinking.

What's the difference, after death you will be stinky and when you are alive you are stinky. You don't trust yourself and you want the whole world to trust you, you don't love yourself, you want the whole world to love you. You can't even identify, you can't even wear a BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , you can't say I am the Sikh of 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. . What do you want? Whatever somebody wants, you can't even say 'in the name 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. , I bless you, let it happen. So be it,' that's all you have to do. All you have to do is bless in the name 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 Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. Ram DasGuru Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. and heal the world but you have not yet learned how to hail 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 Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. Ram DasGuru Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. , that's why your life has nothing but hailstorms and hailstorms and hailstorms. If you would have just hailed 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 Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. Ram DasGuru Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. , you would have healed yourself and healed your whole world.

Prosperity comes to us, it is waiting, it is wanting to come. People love to wait to talk to us, people want to trust us but do you trust yourself to invite them? Do you trust yourself to speak to them? As you are hiding from everybody, so the opportunities, so the prosperities, so the wealth, so the happiness, so the luck, good luck. You have come here by the will of God, you should live here by the will of God and use your freewill freely to believe this planet belongs to God and that includes you and everybody else. You are a self principle, self-governing identity, you are a self reality, don't lose it. If you are willing to lose your identity, nobody is going to find it.

My surgeons told me, "Yogiji we can treat you but we can't heal you. We can give you a time but we cannot conquer your time," I said, "Okay. Let me then lean on the surgeon of all surgeon 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 Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. Ram DasGuru Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. ," we started those Akhand Paths, we started prayers and now I ask you if your prayers can heal me and change the will of God, now what is wrong with you to believing, you can do anything? Now you are afraid to be known to be saints.

One lady asked me, "My husband is very negative."

I said, "Very good."

She said, "Why it's good Yogiji?"

I said, "You have found it, majority of the people don't even find what is negative, at least you have found that he is negative."

"Oh, sure he is negative."

I said, "I know he is negative too, but you couldn't find it all along."

She said, "Now I find what should I do?"

I said, "Now turn positive."

"How can I turn him positive?"

I said, "Then call his mother, she will turn him positive."

Every seed which grows by the will of sun is always nurtured and grown and be positive and mature by the will of moon.

I said, "Honey, you remember your honeymoon?"

She said, "Yeah."

I said, "Repeat it."

"Oh, but that was fifteen years ago."

I said, "Nothing is ago, honeymoon is for everyday."

"How should I do it?"

I said, "Put a spoon of honey in your mouth, look at the moon, what else I can tell, you know, you had your honeymoon."

"Really tell me what you want me to do?"

I said, "Have a honeymoon, from today onward get on a honeymoon, see how negative he is."

After seven days she called me. She said, "Oh, my God, it works."

I said, "I told you, honeymoon is honeymoon."

First act of marriage is to go on a honeymoon, keep going, never stop, never put him on a pedestal than you cannot keep him, never put him in ditch you cannot pull him up, stay steady, be you. No; sometime you puts yourself into him, he can't handle it, sometime you pull yourself out of him, you can't handle it, you are a yoyo, what relationship is there.

Life is to relay between two ships and when nothing is stable what message you will come across. You all want to be prosperous, you all want to be rich, you all want to be happy, you all want to be healthy. I gave you the science of it. But you live like an half house, halfway house, listen, not listen, be, not be, do, not do, because you are scared to commit and then you want the whole world to commit to you, what a wonderful.

"Bijey bikh, mangey amritAmrit , Aamrit The nectar of bliss; also the ceremony in which a person dedicates their life to the Khalsa. vekonaian,"

You sow poison, you expect nectar; what justice is that says Nanak. Your world is 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. sanchirakith, your world is based on your actions and every action is reaction equal and opposite. When your actions are negative, reaction will be super-negative, when actions are positive, reaction will be super-positive. Because all what the finite does, super the infinite does; that's the relationship.

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. says: "If you walk one step 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. , God shall walk one thousand step to you."

Work never waits, time never stops, work never waits, time never stops and life has to be lived. Your freewill is you want to live in misery or you want to live in mastery, that's your freewill. You want to live in prosperity or you want to perish, you want to leave behind legacy or you leave behind tragedy. Sometime I wonder, they say 'oh so and so is this."

I said, "My God, that was a very devout person, what happened?"

Hoop, minus devotion there is nothing but commotion. Commotion is self-destruction. Hey, you are just nothing but Mr. and Miss Flip-Flop; now who the hell is going to trust flip-flops? It is very funny story, I tell you very practical thing.

Somebody went somewhere for a job and the person looking at and he was dressed up as a non-Sikh, he was very afraid to go there in a BanaBana , Baana One's outward projection, often refers to a specified clothing that projects a consciousness. , fearing that job perhaps won't be available. So he dressed up like regular to made that yuppies, ponytail and the whole stuff, three piece suit and the whole thing and the chairman of the interview board said, "May I ask some personal question?"

He said, "Yeah."

He said, "Did you dress today only, like this, this is not your normal dress, do you wear it everyday like this?"

Now what he should say, lie to him? He said, "No, I just dressed up for the interview."

And he said, "Do you know one man, 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. Bhahan?"

He said, "Yes, he is my spiritual teacher."

"Oh, he was my spiritual teacher too. Is he alive and well, I understand he is not well these days."

He said, "No, everybody is praying, he is doing well."

He said, "Can you do me a favor?"

He said, "Yes."

He said, "Go back and dress up properly and come, I will give you job."

Well he rushed home, dressed up properly, came, he was interviewed; against eleven best people he was given a job. But the chairman asked him to promise one thing; "Don't be," he said, "Ever desperate, you have a great teacher. Therefore, you have a great future."

That man is still working, is most trusted in that company, he is highly paid. When it comes to opinion, the chairman still accept his decision as final.

One day he ask him; he said, "There are million Sikhs there is nothing but you like..."

Side B

He said, "I saw YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. Bhajan in you but I did not like the way you cheated yourself. I am so kind to you to let you know, you are the best, you had the best but you deceived yourself, I don't want to see you ever deceiving again." He said, "One class I attend with this man and I got all what I have and I am just repaying him, not you." The guy had tears. He said, "I attended his one class, I had one interview with him, he told me everything what he told me I remember it and all that has come true and it was a wonderful opportunity for me to give you a chance. In other words, I am serving him."

Just understand the state of mind of that guy. That's between one teacher and student. God is your owner, He is your master, He gave you the life, He gave you the figure, He gave you the features, He gave you the breath of life, He gave you everything what you have, He design your heart, He design your legs, He design your hands, He design your everything, why you are cheating with Him? Are you so desperate that you deny your own giver? Huh? You deny your own giver, where you are going to take and where it is going to take you?

So you hired 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. on commission, every present you give it, you give it to yourself, I am not going to carry it on me. I got only one gift in my life, I could serve my 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. , that's more than anything God could have given me. I had wonderful, most beautiful eyesight, it doesn't take me anytime to see God in everybody. I am very grateful that I am blind, only one day I think something happened and used my these earthly eyes, God I had such a pain, couldn't believe it. How useless you all are, who just look with those earthly eyes. How painful your life must be, I realize that day. At night I was keeping cold water and cold pads and whole thing. And look at you. Why don't you look at everything with that intuitive eye, let it be, it is going to be anyway, why to mess up your head. Will you ever come in your heart and be or all the time you have to sit in your head and think, and think and you believe in Nanak, first thing he said, don't think, it won't work, lo, simple;

'Sochai soch na hovai je sochi lakhLakh 100,000. var.'

You think hundred thousand time, it is not going to work. My man in the computer is thinking; 'is Yogiji telling me that I have not provided still the computer in his office,' that's what he is thinking. Ask him to deny, he is sitting right here and 'he is going tomorrow thank God because otherwise he is going to yell and scream at me.' Keep on thinking but if you won't provide computer I shall kill you. Because I want the office to be efficiently working. So when you are going to provide them?

We work as doctors, we'll become doctors, then we start taking the pulse of everybody, whether is required or not required. Isn't our life funny? What we do to earn our money, we start doing it to live our life. Arey, living is one simple thing, living without harmony is no living at all. Be harmonious. Specially you Sikhs, who play harmonium, can't you learn from that little instrument. If your harmonium is out of play right, you don't enjoy playing right, if your life is without harmony can you enjoy living? If your string instrument is not tune, you can't sing, you can't enjoy, you can't be happy. If your life strings are not tuned, can you be happy?

This whole thing being tuned and being harmony and be happy is the way GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru.
