.... We may become experienced with you. You don't know us, we don't know you but we know you because we all know one science of breath, which you must learn and we must teach. This is auto-factual being in you, which responds to every intimate emotions to which it is frequencly trained. And what creates it? The breath. My friend, if you believe in God, you are a theist, if you don't you are atheist. But none can afford not to believe in breath. When you believe in breath you are alive, if you don't believe in breath you are dead. And the science of life is the science of breath and breath is what a person has to learn to carry him to uplift him and to make him a super human being. If you can breathe normally against abnormal environments and circumstances, you can feel the pleasure and happiness and joy of life. And this is what we are going to share with you slowly and gradually. My apologies, I must have talked over you. It would have been looking good to you, you might not have understood my certain words, I try to make it as human as possible but actually it's a deep, deep science.

or antarvidya, which we teach as yogisYogi

. It's not anything unknown to man but actually it is the conquest and search of the human for thousand and hundred thousands of years by those compassionate and far out people who just wanted to serve the humanity in this best way. That is why west has the technology of machine and west is yearning and learning for the technology of mind. I always say if west can exchange the technology of machine with the technology of mind which some of the people in the east have, the world can come to peace and happiness.
I am not denying the fact that per capita income in India, in Thailand and all these countries are much less than per capita income of the west. But still you will never see the eastern parents after retirement sitting in Miami beach. You will never find my father commanding me and me not saying yes sir, I may love him or hate him, it doesn't matter. Why? Because the technology of mind has been gone through a certain experience and it has been totally tutored on a certain frequency where old is gold. I have been trained mentally, mentally that if I serve the sick parents I'll never get sick. How about this?
West even can't fake it. I can live it. Is it wrong with the western people? No, they have not been mentally trained that way. They have never been told the cycle of cause and effect is an infinite cycle. Whatever you shall sow so shall you reap. This is law of 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.
. It is western. If I shall not serve my parents, my children shall not serve me. Simple law. Am I supposed to learn in certain university? Or this is a human university? Universe is a university of the entire humanity and law of cause and effect and law of factual, mental frequency of action and reaction acts here so beautifully. Simply we have to have a chance now to revive that old forgotten science of yoga which can unite ourself to ourself so that we can find peace, equilibrium, joy and happiness in our total potential. Kundal means coil. KundaliniKundalini
Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.
means the coiling energy in you. When coiled energy, the dormant energy in you uncoil your horizons become vaster, your elevated consciousnessConsciousness

becomes great and you become a pure radiant being, then you may belong to anybody you are a asset, fearless, simple, individual breathing right, and breath is living.
I am going to leave you to Baba Singh to give you lot of breathing technologies in spite of his all painful attitude and myself being a harsh teacher he has stuck around me for lot of years. I always tell him your selfishness has come to your rescue. It is very individual to worship God, but it is highly individually difficult to worship a person of knowledge. Because you can worship a person of knowledge whole of your life and he shall not say a sentence or sometime while eating watermelon he may tell you the all scriptures. If you ever want to meet a moody man you will meet a man of universal consciousnessConsciousness

. God knows what they do. I remember once, it's one of the biggest joke which I remember in my life.
One of my teacher told me that if he will teach me one of the kriyaKriya
Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications.
then I'll become perfect and shall leave him. Now I was looking for the old man and I have to make him speak sometime. So you know, in India people go in the vegetable gardens or other cornfields just for answering the call of the nature. So one day I planned a situation. I'll go and bring the water for him and take the old man so that he can be comfortable and I'll sit out as a guard for it. So God blessed him one day he couldn't feel easy. And he started talking. He said, "You know Baba, elimination is a great process of health."
I said, "Yes sir."
Now I am telling you, repeating the conversation. I am trying to make it translate in English. He said, "You know, life of breath comes in and goes out but if the apana, the life of elimination, the breath of elimination does not eliminate the poisons from the body you are in trouble."
I said, "Ye sir."
And he said, "You know it is very difficult, people don't understand."
I said, "Yes sir."
He said, "I always think I should do something."
I said, "Sir, that's what I am saying to you. You know one person is so sick and he told me he couldn't come to you and you won't tell me."
He said, "It's very simple. Why don't you understand that if we can put a Ravi mudraMudra
Mudra means "seal." It usually refers to hand positions used in meditation and exercise practices. These hand positions are used to seal the body's energy flow in a particular pattern. More generally it can refer to other locks, bandhas (see Mul Bandh), and meditation practices that seal the flow of energy by concentration.
and get into our kavach we can do it."
I said, "Sir, but you know I never knew how to do it."
He said, "That's what I am telling you when I come out tell me I'll show you."
Thank God. After two years bringing him about back and forth at least today he is stuck with me. So when he came out he took away his shirt and he said, "Look, you don't see things. Look at me. Though I am old I am telling you."
And he did like that. I said, "Yes sir, thank you very much."
Yes it is the most powerful thing. It can wipe away the death. It is when you consciously take the pranaPraana

through the IdaIda
One of the three major channels (nadis) for subtle energy in the body. It is associated with the flow of breath through the left nostril, follows down the left side of the spine, and represents the qualities of the moon - calmness, receptivity, coolness, and imagination. It is associated with the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system but is not identical to it nor derived from it. Also see Pingala and Shushmana

of you. It takes little practice. It's not difficult. But person who can do it he can die consciously and shall not be caught by the coma or in coma he pretends to not know but he shall know his journey hereafter. So things become easy, when you know.
The science of breath is the science of life. Science of life is union between the finite consciousnessConsciousness

and infinity because that it is all about. Breathe well tonight my friends and breathe consciously, breathe that it is the joy of life and you will enjoy each breath of you. Thank you, I'll see you again, anytime and every time I get a chance. I am a very, very rare variety of bird who flies around a lot. I do come and compensate. My idea is to get to you, my idea is to get to the intelligentsia of this country so that they may not be deprived of that old science of humanity. The science of yoga. For purposes so that their generations to follow can live in peace.
I went to India, I said one thing to them, there were millions of people sitting in a very huge gathering and I said to them, I said, "Look, one day if America shall ever be grateful to you Indians, that is only for one reason you let me go. And that's all. And if I'll be ever grateful to you that will be one thing that I got born in this land and I could learn this great science." And I said to them, "If you can revive that science, not on phony grounds but on real grounds you will be the happiest people on this earth and you know now in every school yoga has become one of the subject up to the master's degree. Research is happening."
When I met the prime minister, last time I visited India I said, "You had the greatest potential to earn dollars you have never gone and touched that gold mine."
She said, "What is that?"
I said, "Yoga. Not as a hoax but as a science to serve the humanity."
And since then All India Medical Institute is doing a very progressive and rigorous research into the different various varieties and activities of the yogisYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
and the yoga. They have formulated a course in schools and in colleges up to the highest degree. They have started learning now which they forgot sometime. But they shall always be grateful because the west and the idea of the west to learn yoga has awakened them from long sleep. And they shall be ever grateful to you because I believe each alien wants to live comfortably. And west is very young, alien land inhabited by alien people. And only way you can feel happiness in you, don't be alien to your breath. Breath is life, live it, and if you always want to pray hold to your breath. Miracles will happen.
We will proceed on this further, but now I don't want to interrupt between you and me there is a practical workshop which he ill undertake and make you go through. Feel good about it because one has to be God first then he progresses, becomes good and then he expands and brings goods. Always remember when you see a dollar bill remember me. And read it 'In God we trust.' On that your land was inhabited to forget not, this is one land on the earth which has a currency in which human have a slogan to read that, 'in God we trust,' it means in our own infinity we trust. In our own reality we trust. In our own self we trust. Don't become belittle and (?) yourself into the narrowness of negativity to think that heavens are going to fall apart. Nothing is going to happen to you because everything happens according to law of polarity and law of consciousnessConsciousness

.
Things are all organized, breath of life comes to you to make you alive, it kisses you fifteen times per minute on average. So long you breathe you are divine and moment you don't you are ready for a box closure to be sent and packed and preserved. Therefore each breath is a priceless gift, breathe it well and breathe it consciously, you will never fall short of energy and you never face unhappiness in your living life. Isn't a secret, which you wanted to know? The biggest prayer you ever want to do is hold your breath and feel it within you. All things around you shall happen right. It is easier said than done, but once you start doing it you will become a six million-miracle man. Thank you.
You remembered it? Great.

YB: You know how much I love teaching? I should be in the bed according to medical standard. But somebody eating peanuts stuck me in the back but see how healthy I feel. When I talk about breath (?).
YB: Do we understand that total life is nothing but a meditationMeditation
Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself.
? Do we understand there is a war going on between negativity and the radiance of the spirit? Which side we want to be? Each movement, each breath of your life decides who you want to be. Each moment of your life decides which side you have to choose. There is so much choice that sometimes it brings on us the essence of insanity. You mark my word. The twenty-five years which are coming on this country shall let you know who are the humans and who are not. Whatever you will hear and you will know what will happen on which part of the earth it will be alarming. The idea is now to mentally prepare ourselves to make the right choice.
Suppose you don't want this discipline, suppose. Suppose it is very hard on you, then at least please take the work, read the data of those who had not disciplined their mind what fate they all have met.
The essence of a human being is essence of God, not of ego. A human being who caters to time and space does not know who that (?) is. Sometime people say this work is very hard. They can't do it. Have you understood that it is the belittlement of the mind which is limiting the radiance of the being and it is the self defeat which the being is acknowledging? Sometime I wonder why the Sikhs Sikh Gurus
In the Sikh tradition there were 10 living Gurus and one Guru, the Shabd Guru - the Word that guided and flowed through each of them. This succession of 10 Gurus revealed the Sikh path over a 200-year period. They were (in order) Guru Nanak, Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind, Guru Har Rai, Guru Har Krishan, Guru Teg Bahadur, and Guru Gobind Singh. The 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, passed the Guruship to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which embodies the writings, teachings, and sound current of the Gurus.

laid their own life on the wheel of torture and time and space and then answer comes to me very clear, the time which are going to come are going to be so heavy that we required those teachers in essence. So that at the crushing moment of the hit of the time we have something to look to.
You know why you forget about God? Because you cannot see it. Something which you cannot see you cannot remember. Something which you cannot feel, you cannot remember. That's why you forget greatness. That is what you forget service. That's why you forget friendship. And mostly you forget kindness because kindness is something which you cannot feel, if you cannot feel, you cannot remember it. And still I wonder you always think of your feelings. What are those feelings? You can't feel a kindness, you are not feeling the greatness, you are not feeling the attitude of gratitude. You are not feeling the purity, you are not feeling the radiance. Don't you feel your expanded auraAura
The radiant field of energy and consciousness that surrounds the physical body and which holds and organizes the seven centers of energy called chakras. Its strength, measured by brightness and radius, determines the vitality, mental concerns, and psychophysical integrity of a person.
? Don't you look at yourself in the mirror and feel divinity coming out of you? And if you can forget all those feelings, they are the first (?) of this being. Then where are you taking yourself? The project of insanity has to stop. We must have to make a choice and choice towards the righteousness of life.

This is a month when the Khalsa was born. This is a month traditionally we celebrate our own birth of the pure one. And my prayer is this should be the day when you should relate to your purity.

It is a day today when you shall remember and accept your own purity and give your essence through the GuruGuru

YB: Up, up, with your strength. (?) not slowly. And could you move little nearer from the back (?) areas too? I have to see everybody's face.
Today we are talking about something which is very important and that is the breath. It maybe impossible to communicate in the western world what breath is. For us breath is a bunch of air which goes into the lungs and comes out. But for the oriental old man it is more than that. It is pranaPraana
, Prana
The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind.
. Actually to be very honest, for a long time man has been trying to feel reality, know what is reality, man has never experienced reality.
First it was a tribe, then it became religion, then it became people's movement and now we have reached a stage where nothing plays part but science. But it's the same human doing the same thing back and forth. Through this time and age humanity has tried to concentrate on one simple ideal, 'who we are.' Man wanted to find that answer in wealth, couldn't find it. Man wanted to find that answer in power, couldn't find it. Man wanted to find that answer in religion couldn't find it. Man wanted to find that answer in mystic discoveries of beyond, couldn't find it. Man has tried all this best. And mind you when I use word man, that includes the woman. Don't think that I am against woman lib, doesn't matter. Everything man does crazy is a part of man's own life. There is a problem.
In spite of the fact we have a mental deficiency of inconsistency of behavior in the western world so much it is unbelievable. We think we are the wisest. It's a joke. Total, we are bankrupt in mental technology. We are absolutely rich with mechanical technology. And sometime I joke and I laugh about are we entitled to happiness? Answer is very simple no. We are not.
I have a friend of mine, he is a medical doctor. I got friend with him. We were friends. And one day I sitting in his office I said, "So and so, you are going for a big trouble."
He said, "YogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
, what do you mean big trouble?"
I said, "No, no, do my medical," you know in medical you pay those two hundred and some dollars, you have to go for that. (?) "Do my medical I'll get off your back."
When he finished, he said, "You seems to be all right."
I said, "Okay, but boy you are going to get into trouble."
He said, "YogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.

, you have said those words twice what for?"
I said, "Look doctor, I am a behaviorist and I know the other side of the road. Everything is a paranoia, everything is a fear, you are overworking because of some fear at home, you are not tackling it, and my problem is, I am seeing that fear in your auraAura

."
After a month after I got a call from him that he was up for a divorce. Now, I laughed, I said, "Hey, working eighteen hours, how baby? How much you are going to lose?"
He said, "Lot."
I said, "Now do one thing gracefully, give her everything."
He said, "YogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
, what are you saying?"
I said, "Give her everything man, listen to me. Walk out of her house, come and stay with me."
He said, "I want a consolation."
I said, "I am asking you (?) give her the keys of the car, the bank book, the card, every damn thing, walk out right now. Listen to me. We will make something out of it."
He said, "Okay, I am your doctor, you are my doctor." He said, "You are sure what you are saying?"
I said, "It's hundred percent sure. You do it and see what happens."
So he pulled out the keys and said there it is baby and this is and this was my will, I hereby endorse whole thing to you and walked out. She couldn't expect that behavior. She thought the victory, the battle, now there was no battle, she was flat. She went to her minister, she went to the religious minister, she went to her psychiatrist, (?) whole thing and I told him, I said, "Be a BuddhaBuddha
An enlightened one; founder of the Buddhist faith.
."
He said, "What is that? My doctor never knew what BuddhaBuddha
An enlightened one; founder of the Buddhist faith.
means in that."
I said, "Be a statue. Don't move."
He got call from the psychiatrist, call from the council advisor, religious advisor, their church minister, whole thing. He said, "What should I do?"
I said, "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.
."
He said, "What is that?"
I said, "YogiYogi

is, when he stops he doesn't move, when he moves he doesn't stop. That's 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.
. Your mind is given to you in this body to serve you, not you be servant of this mind. Stop."
He stopped. Divorce got finalized, you know whatever the attorneys decide they decide anyway, at least he got to take care of those children and himself, he was happily married last week and they have been to south of Italy to enjoy.
And then I was supposed to meet the new wife. And I said, "Doc, now this is a new girl you are coming after honeymoon, I want to talk to you one thing. This time earn her, and not the money. If you won't have the money she will leave you. If you have the money she will leave you. Therefore decide moderately between the two."
He said, "When are your yoga classes going on?"
I said, "You can't attend, you have got lot of bills to pay, I wish you should learn to come to a yoga class once a while so that you may know that what is the union."
You maybe surprised sometime, it may look funny to you because you are all here in a very different brainwashed altitude. Every American wants to find God but still wants to keep separate God from himself. But fact is nobody knows what God is. Nobody knows what religion is. Religion and God for a normal American is a fashion. Nothing else. So is the yoga. So is anything in the world. Our problem is in spite of the fact that we are very honestly genuine person who wants to learn something but we end up making a miracle out of everything.
God is nothing but the total potential of you. Period. You are not praying something beyond you, when you pray you are praying to yourself and yourself feels satisfied. I always make a joke and mockery of things. You have to be first God, G O D, then add another O, become G O O D good and then put an S in the end becomes GOODS. God, good, and goods, that's how the preference goes. If you have nothing, nobody will love you, nobody will take care of you, nobody will look to you, if you are not good, you are useless. If you are God you exist. And if O takes away the center O, the organization of the person, the being, then you are GD. What they call it, hopelessly naïve.
Person has to understand that his religion is his reality, his God is his goodness, he is a human being which must know the art of kindness and you cannot be kind to anybody else if you are not kind to yourself. You cannot be divine before anybody else if you are not divine to yourself. So long you live in fear, so long you live in paranoia, you don't live within yourself, you live somewhere else. All wealth, property, power, your decorations are useless to you. You basically must understand that we create our own troubles. Some people believe on God, some people believe on luck, some people believe on this, some people....
I have seen people wise enough, PhD asking me, "YogiYogi

I say, "What is that? What is a charm?"
He said, "I am hopelessly convinced I cannot make through this trouble of mine."
I said, "Okay, come eleven o'clock tomorrow, sit down opposite to me. One o'clock we have the lunch, then three o'clock we have the tea, so five o'clock I am supposed to get up," so whole day we satSat
Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself.
and I said, "Gentleman, how you feel now?"
He said, "You are right."
I said, "Why? Why I am right? Why I am right?"
"You are right. I created this whole thing by myself."
I said, "The problem is I have no axe to grind, I fronted you. I confronted you. You do not know what is consciousnessConsciousness

Religion was supposed to teach reality, man was supposed to learn consciousnessConsciousness

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.
. If walking through the cold and hot at zero temperature or stopping the beat of the heart or creating miracles out of the air is a yoga then there are so many magicians who can do it very well. My dear friend, that's not yoga.
Yoga is when you confront yourself. That's it. Here is a one key to it. When you think you now and hereafter. That is the whole psychology, the fundamental science, behind the science of yoga that you are now finite but you are also infinity. Understand the word God. God, G O D, generating power, organizing power, and destroying power. All the totality of the three, the trinity of the self is God. What a big deal? You create yourself by cause and effect, you organize yourself through the time and space and you destroy yourself within the time and space. When you come you breathe, when you live you breathe all the way and one day you breathe out and you are out. Between you and your God, between you and 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.
, between you and your existence there is nothing but the breath. And you are totally unaware whether you breathe or not. You never consciously breathe. Isn't it a joke? Why? Breath doesn't hurt. Tooth hurts. You go to the dentist, breath doesn't hurt, you don't go anywhere. And when breath hurts you can't go anywhere. You are done. Out.
Our idea, whether we are lucky or unlucky, is to teach this science, the science of yoga to make it a science of humanologyHumanology
A complete system of psychology to promote human excellence and spirit. It incorporates the technology of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, the use of the Shabd Guru, and the principles of spiritual counseling.
where human can learn what a human is.
For Christians yoga is the science of devils. I get letter everyday. Hi devil!
(Students' laughter)
Okay, for Hindus I am a monster. Hi monster! Because I am teaching the western people which they don't deserve.
The science of KundaliniKundalini
Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.
Kundalini Yoga
It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

is not a kind of yoga which everybody can teach but it's a kind of yoga which everybody can learn. Uncoiling your own potential is what your purpose of life is. And thousands of years people in east, people in west, people in up, people in down, angel and devils, all thought of making to know who they are. And that potential science which makes you feel who you are is the science of yoga. It is the union of the finite existence through the time and space of the pranic energy into the infinity of the science of the self where one realizes the very existence of one self in experience.
Why I am handicap? Because I am not yet (?) but I am going to be. I always tell my kids, I say west is done. There is no hope. When I came in this country rate of divorce has gone three times, rate of suicide has gone three a time. Law and order problems has gone three times, inflation has gone quite a bit, unemployment is there, why? What is going on? Is something wrong with this country? With this economy? No. Professionally I have done honors in masters in economics, I know what economic is. I know how this country works. Its economics is very sound, absolutely sound. You can juggle it positive, you can juggle it negative and any economics which has that kind of flexibility you can't make fool of me, you can make fool of any layman. This country still has the soundest economics. People, plastic workers. Because they know by tendency as aliens they have to survive and that has yet not gone out of us. We work.
In this country the beauty and the charm is not that you are special. Not at all. The charm and the beauty and the strength in you is you are all aliens. It's a little country, two hundred year old, little baby, which wants to strive and stretch. In security of alien self gives you the power to establish and when a person has a potential fear he acts at the maximum potentiality of his being. That's why we could make and build this country in two hundred years what it is today. Why these kids are falling apart? Why? Because parents are establishing themselves going through the torture of work and overwork. Kid says wait a minute, what I have to do with wall-to-wall carpet? Because the kid is not alien. He wants to look at the environments. He said, "You have polluted the great lake, you are no good."
There is a process of thinking deficiency. A huge cavity. Look at people, look at our history, we get born, we are raised, we are raised, we become adult, we become adult, we get married, we get married, we have children, we have children, we have divorce, we have divorce, we get married, we get married, we have children, we are children, we get married, what is going on? What is happening to us? Who we are? I promise with thee, I shall live with thee to the end in the presence of God, bah, bah, bah, after ten days, oh I just married a wrong person. Oh what happened? Skin changed. Heartbeat changed, breath was different, first he was breathing oxygen, now he is breathing carbon-di-oxide? What is happening? Because we do not know where we are and what our emotions are and what we are saying. "In the beginning there was a word, word was with God and word was God." We are read in the bible, you read all scriptures, problems with me is I have read all religions. And I found it out it is a hocus-pocus, everybody is saying the same thing.
Hindus worship three Gods, Christian gets one God, what is one God? G O D. Generating, organizing, and destroying. And they say one is creative, one is feeding and one is God of death. Everything is same. Jews are the same, the Christians are the same, the Mohammedans are the same, the Buddhist are the same, why? Because they are all humans. You are all same because you are humans and you are not same because you have never worked to be humans. You are never united, your infinity of objection and projection to the finite infinity of your essence. Therefore I don't care what you belong to, which country you belong to, what people you belong to, you are people by the degree, you know your finite and relationship in proportion to your infinity. And that is what science of yoga is about. That each breath which comes to you it comes to you from the yonder of the yonder and each breath you breathe out goes to the yonder of the yonder, therefore there is a 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.
that you breathe. Therefore breathe consciously. That is human. Just breathe consciously and value it and be grateful. And you are a saint and you are anything, prophet, whatever you want to be. But when you don't breathe consciously you are lower than the animal. It's a proven fact the animal has the instinct, you don't have the instinct. Either you have sensitivity of intuition or you have nothing. And a man who is not intuitive he is useless to himself because you don't forewarn yourself. Why? Because you don't think now and hereafter. If you don't know what is now and hereafter within the capacity of your own caliber what is your own word and you do not fight it with the total potential of yourself and being you are not going to make a happy self. Animals have their mating season, you have mating season all the time. Therefore you don't meet at all. You do not know what are you doing. Why? Because you do not know who you are.
Remember, you are a bunch of breath. Nothing more and nothing less. This is a sophisticated link between you and infinity. So long you breathe consciously you will be always all right.
Once a woman called me, she said, "I am depressed."
I said, "Where you had been this morning?"
She said, "To church."
I said, "My God, you have been to God's house in the presence of Jesus Christ and you come back and you say you are depressed."
She said, "I am very depressed."
"Now," I said, "now, think what depressed you."
She said, "You know I went to church and Shelly was there and she was talking something which blew my mind."
I said, "What for you went to church? What for? To look at Shelly or look at your God? Did you go to a club? Are you conscious?"
She said, "Yeah, my God, you are right. I should have gone to church."
I said, "You never went to church, you went to see Shelly. Isn't it true?"
She said, "Yeah, I was planning too, if she will come to church so I'll catch her there. But YogiYogi

, I am very depressed."
I said, "You need not be depressed. Inhale."
Yoga on telephone, you never heard of it. She inhaled, I heard her, I said, "Now hold. And behold the breath is in you, you are alive."
I said, "This is my sermon on telephone. Now exhale."
And she exhaled. Made her do five times, I said, "How you feel?"
She said, "I feel like calling John."
Her husband. I said, "Why?"
She said, "We'll do something, he just left disappointed, he saw me depressed, he got out, he must have gone to some friend and tonight he will drink and it is going to be mess."
Now that guy is not a small thing, that's a vice president, control the fate of lot of people. I said, "Don't call him, give me his number, where he could be."
She gave me two-three numbers, I caught him at one number. I said, "Hey Johnny, you are a big nuisance."
He said, "How YogiYogi

? You know she gets depressed and I cannot stand bah, bah, bah, what should I do with this woman?"
I said, "No, we are human, we live for each other. You used to come to my yoga class, you remember? Remember what I used to say to you? We live for each other because we are humans."
He said, "Yeah, yeah, but sometime I forget it."
I said, "Breathe."
You know, this is a habit. I said, "You are all right, you can go and pick her up she is willing to go out."
And there he came with his big Mercedes, picked her up, took her out and life was happy again.
Life is always happy when you know you are breathing, this is the only link which you can feel and which can make you feel that you are yourself. Anytime you content this way that you are still breathing and anytime you feel the breath is a part of you and anytime you feel the breath is just a infinity to you, anytime you feel, so long it comes in your ribcage and leaves you, you are okay. There is no success and no failure, it is just the joy of life. When you are afraid, only when you do not know you are breathing or not. When you become angry to somebody only you forgot that that man has a breath too.
You have one thing very common. Call it by any name, I don't care. There are millions of name to one thing, the act of breathing. That is common between us. Nothing else. When the baby is born he says maaa... you say oho. When somebody is out you bring the mirror and touch on the nose to see whether it is breathing or not. Moment you can certify the person is not breathing neither your identity card nor your bank balance nor your status nor your degree means anything to anybody. With all your richness and your power, with all your silken coats and your magnificent ego, you are boxed up, nailed up and you are put in six foot four foot piece of land which is your internal home. Difference can be on that last journey twenty million dollars can be spent or twenty cents. Sometime you can be dug in the ground and two pieces of wood can be just tied down over you just to commemorate here lied a self which now does not breathe. Or entire California's roses can be collected and the ground can be laid with it and you can be rolled as dead over it and in the end you can be buried in the roses to stink better than the guy who was dug in the sand. That is your beginning and that is your end.
You enjoy everything in life not because you are you, because in you there is a powerful thing, the purest thing, the greatest thing, the breath. That is the relationship man, so long you breathe be good and be kind. So long you breathe live for others, breath will live for you and it will be very lively. So long you breathe be kind and kind and kind and kind and endless kindness shall carry you through time and space. It's a habit. Kinder breath will generate another kinder breath and one kinder breath more will generate another kindest breath. Kindness is one thing which is infinity. Breath is something which is feeling, life, emotion, understanding, existence, identity, finite and infinite, in all spectrum of life. There is only one thing which is good in you that you breathe. Your breath fights the disease and it brings the ease, it brings you the charm, it brings you the sadness, but have you ever found when you are sad if you stop breathing and hold to your breath you get better and better and better in couple minutes?

. Can you believe that? Seven years I have been fighting as a single person. I have not made a dent in this western society. When I came seven years they asked me, what you will do? I said, "I'll give you the technology which can give you by itself own charm to make you live healthy, happy and holy."
People couldn't understand what holy means. I said, man you have nine holes. You are all holy. And if you do not know the technology to create the balance between nine holes you are a mishappening. Nothing can protect you and save you. If these nine holes don't function properly your metabolism is not right, your characteristic of subconscious and conscious is not right, your parasympathetic and sympathetic is not supporting your action and nerve system, you are not a full-fledged human being. Are you kidding? You think by little make up and little this and little that you can pass the time. It is that slice of the time it's not whole pie. Your life is nothing but a whole pie. You are characteristically a individual, in-due-vu-lie-zo. That is your real word is. In due space of time you (?) a vision of the self. Bramapress that word becomes individual. Language came after you. You became before language. Language your expression, breath is your life.
How many people remember or rememberingly breathe? I am a very charming out of place person, I am far out. You know why? I don't use any formula, I am not a miracle man, I perform miracles. When all the square establishment I call them, not the triangle one, they understand the language, the kids. But the square establishment which has forgotten what breath is and they smoke away their breath. When they get into any kind of trouble and come in contact with me and say 'hi yoga, I am bah, bah, bah,' I say inhale and hold to it. Hold baby. And that is all in you. And it's a fact. If you can hold to breath nobody can declare you dead. So long you can breathe in and breathe out.
Now take for example somebody is sentenced to death in a gas chamber, potassium cyanide gas, right? Make sit and tie in, they keep him one hour, after one hour they let everything go. Go in and say hi, how are you? What date it is? You think people will stay there? They will run away because he could hold to his breath. Nothing is important in your life. Breath. You breathe, pranaPraana

, apana, viyana, agana, nagana. Five years. Old people said it, modern science says, the individual psyche, rational and action psyche. Potential and muscular psyche, sympathetic psyche and parasympathetic psyche. What difference it makes? Name it anything. Call some guy who has a big trunk in the head, elephant or call him a boar but when he is going to get in trunk then you will know what is what. It doesn't matter what you say something. Fact is, it is it.
You want to learn the western knowledge, you want to learn the eastern knowledge, you want to learn the southern knowledge, or northern knowledge, question is knowledge is knowledge, my friend. And all knowledge is meant to only acknowledge one thing that you are a happily breathing individual. Am I right? Is there anything as any other purpose than that that you should be happily breathing? Is there any purpose of anything you do, think or imagine or perform than this? Then why not to breathe consciously? That's all it takes. Whenever you are in trouble, the science of yoga says pranayamPraanayam

In other words, when you want to hold to something hold to breath. And you will become a radiant self. Breath is you and you are breath. Couple of minutes breathe consciously. Breathe with a mantraMantra

Have you seen these people Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram? Now you think Ram means God? And it's a Hindu God? Absolutely nothing. It's a permutation and combination (?) our shallowness and belittle (?) mind do not understand the whole science. Raa means sun, raa, raa, it is the taa too tee and it is aa oo eee. Aa oo eee and taa too tee, the three meridians become raa, that's how it is. The central nervous system understands the pinpoint or the meridian point of the sciatica and the central nervous system and also the central nervous system or the thalamus which is the meridian of the pituitary. And this tongue touches it when you utter the word raa. Raa, see how subtlely it touches the upper palate. Just say raa, raa, raa...
Students: Raa, raa, raa, raa....
YB: No, no, word is raa, not raw, raa. Raa, raa, it does touch the upper palate at a particular point very minutely. Raa, raa, raa, maa, maa, maa, it is raa maa. It's a God. What kind of God is that? Because you were all cave people you don't want to do anything, so two things worked in the past-fear and love. If you utter Ram you will have bountiful of good things, goodies. And if you don't utter it curse will come on you. So both ways you were tightened up to say it, idea was to make you say it. You were not so intelligent I can sit and say Ram and you start saying, why should you say it? You don't want to say it. But you got to say it. Because it opens up your own potential power within you and gives you excessive control of yourself which you need the most.
Maa, maa, maa, this you know, I know you. This you know. But this you don't know. Maa, this is the first word when you are born you say maa.... Maa... have you seen the children crying? Do you know how they cry? Aaaaah aaaah... it bothers you. That's the science and sound of distrust(distress) which they send. Mother, what to talk of mother?

I said, "Yeah, true."
I told them in a very simple language. I said (?) it means we are three and they are seven only. That's our language. And the other guy said (?) but we are in terrible trouble with this nine and there is no escape.
You know you can cough and do stress talk as much you like. And that became our survival language and finally when I found a charming situation I just bunked my foot and I said (?) and I fell like a rock. That's all we needed. In that stress they forgot who they are, human came to rescue the human and within that moment we were the victors and they were the losers.
