… Understand and just keep sitting. Did you understand in this aspect what 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. is saying about woman? Have you understood the one last line, what is the last line?

Students: (----).

YB: Yeah I know it by heart don’t worry, you read it before that one line.

Students: (----).

YB: Hey…

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Wait a minute, what is it?

Students: (----).

YB: Why it has been said? It is not true.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Whatever 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. says it, if you don’t understand is not true. What do you mean by this, that’s what I am asking, try, you are all intelligent, well read. Why it has been said, if you don’t understand why it has been said, then you will never understand God, I don’t care what you do. Yes.

Student: (----).

YB: God does born out of woman in the shape of a man and prophet and everything. The theory is God is God plus, that you have to understand right here. Manifestation, though manifestation is possible beyond woman that is true. Only un-manifested is beyond woman. What you are understanding is God is beyond woman, that is not true, manifestation of God and manifesting God and manifested God is within woman. Only the un-manifested is beyond woman, that’s what exactly it means. If God is beyond woman then man is a God, providedly you are going to believe that, doesn’t matter if they don’t give equal rights, but fact is a fact. So much so Nanak says that if you just praise that blessed woman you will be received in the court of God with grace. That’s why in the western civilization we call woman better half. I mean, don’t misunderstand me I am not asking you to change your American values to call a woman a chick or a bird or use her as doormat and all, this is your problem, I have nothing to do with it, I am just telling you in English there is one expression we call it better half and that is used for….

Students: (----).

YB: So 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. qualifies the fact

‘Gurdev Mat, Gurdev Pita. Gurudev Bandhu Parameshwaram.’

Equivalent to that also in GurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. GurbaniGurbani Word of the Guru, Refers particularly to the words from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. also says this about, but I am just telling you the shastra certain things do meet, first teacher is mother. And for your information mother doesn’t teach anything to the child when the cord is cut. Mother teaches everything to the child the day the soul enters to the day the child takes the first breath. The shape, the destiny, the strength, the life, the power, the projection, the personality is all built in, whatever she eats that is the body, whatever she thinks that is the mind, and whatever she feels of God that is the light of the soul and it has to be recognized as it is, don’t try to make it.

I used to have a my very sweet daughter, one day I asked her, I said, “Oh my God, you are going to have trouble.”

She said, “Why?”

I said, “You don’t let your husband sleep these days,” because she was argumentative and so fighting and so (?).

So she was delivered by the God’s grace was blessed with a daughter, you won’t believe it, ashramAshram , Aashram A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives. has to baby-sit for that child at night there was no way, the girl will cry six p.m. to six a.m. straight and afterwards on intervals.

So my asking you is not…. You think things happen, you think trees grow, trees grow. Have you seen in New Mexico state of New Mexico bamboo stick growing, cotton wood trees, yes, bamboo sticks, no. In California you put a bamboo stick God knows you come after ten days it’s a huge thing.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Why, why it doesn’t grow here, why there? Soil, soil is the base. So the soul, it’s a 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’s a law of karmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions.

That’s where the relationship is, therefore there is no idea to say I have bad parents, I have good parents, I have big parents, I have small parents, I am a bad child, I am a good child, that is nothing to do with it. It’s a set rule and from that set basic rule you can change to anything.

So recognize the fact that power, power you all ask for power, you all want power, that’s right, power comes from prayer. And now question arises, what is a prayer. What is a prayer? Let me tell you the definition of prayer and then you can decide how much prayer you can do. Prayer is the intunement of the mind into the higher 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 into the unknown. Prayer is….

Students: The intunement of the mind into the higher 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 into the unknown.

YB: It has nothing else to do what you say and what you don’t say. It is just a intunement, mental intunement and that is where the power is.

What we do when we are in trouble? We start doing the prayer. When we are not, who cares. Our prayers are seasonal, so our mood, so our temperament, so our life, but in this life of our human life which average these days sixty-five to seventy-five years, prayer is the power one who can do the prayer can be very powerful, very powerful because prayer makes the entire elements to serve that person, all elements, gifts will come to that person and whosoever will give to that person will be gifted, hundred fold, thousand fold, that is also the beauty of it.

There is a very beautiful story when Baba Kalu slapped Nanak that, “Why you took that money and fed those hungries 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. in the way?”

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. said, “I did through Sacha vanj, Sacha soudha, I did a truth, truthful bargain.”

Because Sikhs are like every other religion, they are just twisting the history. Actually fact is, this is the fact, you have heard the story and you will read the story in many ways. When 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. went and they were passing through these jungles they found these 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 saintly kind of Siddha sitting there 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. satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. with them and listened to them and talked with them and they gave him what they call is happiness, knowledge, and he had some kind of experience with them, so he found them to be very truthful, very real, and in lieu of that he brought all the food, cooked it and fed them. In those days that was a lot of money and just to feed there must have some joyful, happiness in Nanak he could do it, but to father it was waste of money, he said, “I gave you money to go and do the trade, start the trade, I gave you basic capital and you ruined the entire capital, you fed it to these beggars.”

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. said, “No, I have not fed anything to beggars, I did a true vanj, sacha soudha, I did a true trade, it was true business.”

And Baba Kalu said, “What benefit that business has done, what benefit?”

And sister Nanaki intervened, she said, “Father you should not have slapped this boy. The business is for his name sake you and we shall be remembered, you have slapped the face of God today father,” that was the exact quote, unquote words of the sister.

And Mehtha Kalu, the father 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 Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. NanakGuru Nanak First Guru of the Sikhs. could not understand what she is talking, he said, “You two crazy, get out of my sight.”

There was no recognization, that’s what I am trying to tell you God is everywhere, we don’t have the eyes to see and recognize, that is the fact. Our shirt gets sweaty or get torn, or sometime food falls on it, and we spill it and looks bad, we change it, we change it, we don’t mind changing it, why we change it? Because we know there is a second shirt we can wear.

Body is just like that shirt, when it is spoiled you change it or it’s become worthless, but the only fear you have is you don’t want to change it because you do not know what next. Fear of the unknown and the second aspect of the prayer is moment you become prayerful person, fear of the unknown is gone and love of the unknown awakens. Death doesn’t mean anything.

‘Kabir hun dwara mukla nithou nith javo.’

‘Kabir now the door is open I can go and I can come there is no problem.’

Problem is to that person who doesn’t know where he is going and what will be the next. Did I tell you the story of that rich man and his servant, didn’t I? All right I’ll repeat it fast, if I told it is fine, if I not even then it is fine.

There was a rich man and he used to go to the summer place and with all the pomp and show the arrangement, the horse, the whole thing. So after this servant of his served him for a long time and one day he said, “My lord, I want to go to the Ganges and do the yatra so I should be blessed.” The rich man took his stick you know, it was very beautiful stick, worked with gold and silver, it was very showpiece or piece of art, he said, “Take this with you, travel up to the Ganges, enjoy; if you find a foolish person, most foolish person, most foolish person, give this stick to him.

He came after three years, he had the stick in his hand, so rich man allotted him a village to take control, collect the revenue, do the whole thing, so it is fine. Couple years went by, one day his said, “Have you seen your master?”

He said, “No he never calls me, I never go.”

She said, “I understand he is dying and message has come you should go.”

So this man rode in the horse, went, and saw a very funny story; he saw his master lying down on the ground on a pure white sheet lying down and breathing his last breath, he went and saluted, he said, “Yes you have come.”

He said, “My rich lord, you are going to go now.”

He said, “Yes.”

He said, “You know where?”

He said, “No.”

“Any information where you are going?”

He said, “No.”

“Did you check out where you are going from somebody who has gone and somebody who has experience?”

He said, “No.”

He said, “When you used to go in summer to hill station how many cloth you have to take, horses, food, towels, underwear, brush, toothbrush, all this, we used to go only for three months, there used to be so many arrangements and we used to send a team advance to make the arrangements, secure the houses, see the garden there is all right and then you used to go, remember.”

He said, “Yeah.”

He said, “Now you are going on a journey you do not where, when you are going to come back, what is going to happen, you didn’t make any arrangements?”

He said, “No.”

He said, “Here is the stick.”

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: “There is nobody more foolish than you for going three months just to pass summer you used to create a hell and make all the arrangements now your God knows how many summers you are going to go and you do not know where you are going.”

That is not unknown to the person who does prayer, that is the promise by God, that the fear of death is never a fear to those who are prayerful and prayer does not mean that you have to jump and juggle and make a huge panorama show that you are very prayerful. No, no, no there is something it is a intunement, it is a conscious intunement with the unknown.

Have you seen those story in Mount Shasta there lives prophets, they come out at night and talk to people, nothing lives in that mountain, otherwise American will go and dig them all out.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: The problem is that mountain is really very pretty. In the nowhere is a very simple mountain, its top is always white with snow and it is not a big mountain, small and it’s very lovely and California doesn’t have that kind of lot of good sweet mountains that type and in Japan also there is Fiji mountain you have seen that, it’s beautiful, because of that shape, that dome type shape.

So basically nothing lives there, it is only our concept of the unknown, because law is where there is known there is unknown. If you continue relating to the known you are denying the unknown, if you relate to the known which you are and you search out the unknown, it is the prayer. You think I have to do prayer, oh God bless me, it’s totally unnatural, God understand you are folding the hand, the power which is folding the hand is God, the lips which are uttering is the God, your trying to concentrate is God, you might be thinking I should have been eating in the pizza hut this time and you are making a posture of prayer, so your mind is somewhere different, you are somewhere different, but when you are intuned with the unknown known is very, very peaceful, peace is experienced and known through the power of prayer. You believe me or not people who do their 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 they do their banis, they do their prayer, their death is very peaceful, I have seen many, many, many, many people. When the last time come they just lie down and they say goodbye to everybody and they are gone because they know where they are going, there is no fear, there is no harassment, that is also one advantage of the power of the…

Students: Prayer.

YB: Then the most beautiful thing which is called the selfish need of a prayer, I call it selfish need and that is that birth is according to the karmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions.

YB: And unfortunately that day we forgot the box of candles, so we don’t know what to do. We started burning the matchsticks, trying to find it out it didn’t work. We had our sherpas, what to do, they did lot of things, if wind is coming from there, the smell is coming, they have their own system, it is quite authentic, it didn’t… So we had no option but to start camping, they asked me, “What to do?”

I said, “Take eleven steps, if you believe in God in Muslim way or Hindu way or Sikh way because there was lot of people with us, take eleven steps and chant the name of God and where we all stop we will camp there.”

Very convenient. So what happened is everybody took eleven step in different directions.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: It happened, didn’t walk in one way and later on I heard my orderly “Sir, we got it, sir we got it,” so we all ran there and we saw him sitting with a automatic emergency message pole, wireless pole out of the blue, it didn’t mean anything to anybody, it was, there was, he went into right on the trees and in the big trees there it was some old message post. We say, well let us see it is intact or not, we had the little apparatus with us, we fixed it, and we start sending the code and surprisingly within three minutes the reply came in, “We are locating you, give us location.”

And we said, “We know nothing, no location.”

Students: (Laughter.)

“But where are you?”

We said, “Only we have a old wireless pole which we feel belongs to the army, find it out where we are and it’s going to be bad night if we are left out.”

They said, “(?) over stay we will be back with you.”

And within two hours we find on (?) gr, gr, gr, we say well they locate us, they found it out.

So what I am trying to explain it to you is there is nothing which is happening which is beyond you and it is beyond God, that is not true. Whatever is not known to you is not intune in you because you do not know how to project your power of prayer. The one fundamental gift of prayer is you know, the classification of prayer is a technology with a human being through which the unknown is known, unseen is seen, unheard is heard, that is prayer. Prayer is not what you project out and what you project in, these are human feelings about prayer. You kneel down on your knees and then pray you….

I saw Mexico something very, very strange; one woman walked on these two knees, she was full-fledged perfect lady, I mean to say healthy, there was no reason for her to walk that way, she walked fourteen miles, fourteen miles a day on these and she was walking couple weeks, that was her faith, that was her way of prayer, you can’t say anything to her, she came to that church of lady of (?), and she was very happy she made it. Now for you it may be a torture, a old fashion, nuisance, whatever you call it, but you understand her face, her face was so glowing with the happiness that she has made to the church that her 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. was so blue and so glittering that out of all the people she was like a ball of power, it was very difficult to even to recognize in-between it is a woman and lot of people were walking around with her in a very reverence and in very great salutation. So it doesn’t mean how you do prayer. Prayer is your method in which you can tune the mind, I tune my mind in different way, you intune your mind in different way, but let us remember it is your mind, it is your prayer, and it is all about you. Prayer has no relationship with anybody, prayer is totally your own power to tap the unknown.

Why we ask you not to drive the car without chanting the 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. ? It’s very simple prayer,

Perhaps while driving you may not get a chance to repeat it again, that may be your last drive who knows it but there is a law behind it, there is a science behind it because once you start, death cannot hit you, death hits you five times just remember, death cannot take you away on the first hit, that is the law. Nobody born shall die by first attack of death, that’s a guarantee by God, God is by law bound down to give you four warnings, not three, four, at the fifth time he is going to pick up. Only the exception is the accidental death when your soul has to continue changing the body you must die here and must get born there, that is call transfer plan. That computer does like this, in the car of the curve you are dead, no scratch on the body, nothing, car fell on tires no problem, but you are not there, because you are already born, you are saying, haaaaaa mama you know whatever the thing is, that’s it, transferred, it’s a body transfer, it’s not considered death, cut, start, that’s it, otherwise the law is you must have four warnings clear, don’t you say oh my God I was going to die I just escaped by hair-breadth that’s one. You know, if you recollect and remember you will totally surprise you count them up, you will be perfect with a count. So what happens is that is what it is.

That’s why I say chant 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. ; two things must happen before death can hit you-Desh and Kaal, time and space, longitude and latitude, because law of God is unchangeable, you must be born on a longitude and latitude and you shall die on a longitude and latitude, these two thing are pre-determined, they shall not change. So you have to be at that place at that time, the magnetic, now science, the magnitude of the magnetic frequency of the earth by virtue of its own nucleus must be neutral at a certain longitude and latitude to eliminate the life and make the five Tattva to dispense with because five Tattva which is a part of your body which makes your body must also disappear and get into each Tattva, so each Tattva must be neutralized to receive the 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. released by you, so death is a totally organic section of life, it is not inorganic, it is natural. So what we say? Do the prayer, so at least you will not be at that space though time will be same, you will be second and a half late. By your chanting the mantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind.

And there they go. It is about three to five seconds, time it sometime. Some are quick they finish in three seconds, some are just slow they finish in five seconds, by five second late in space it means you might be six inches or two feet away from the point of elimination, that’s what it is and then if some disease happen, certain things happen you call these orthodox things, they don’t work these days. Why to pray just take a one pill you will be all right, no my dear, the continuous of energy, life energy which is called 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. is continuous through the radiance body. Moment the soul enter the subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. death has completed itself and then the magnetic psyche continues, it affects everything. As life effects everything death effects everything, that’s why it’s very customary when a death takes place. Bibiji will give you detailed lecture on this, I am not going to go into it, that people take after seventeen days, take the remains and go to a holy place to just change the vibrations, because the magnetic psyche must be broken and should not be allowed to continue.

That’s why because you must understand when a baby is born, what happens? Everybody write you letter, everybody talks to you, everybody is with you, when any person dies in the family everybody write to you, everybody talk to you, it’s almost the same cycle, so we shift from one frequency to another, what? With the power of the prayer, incomplete prayer is the essence, prayer is the projection, and prayer is the destiny, and prayer is the life because all power to you come from prayer, not from you. Power of the prayer is the internal, the external, it is the accelerated, it is all dimensional and it can be totally untouched and ignored and not considered.

Now once two people appeared before God, they were brought for judgment, one was a great man of prayer and rituals and 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. and all that, when he appeared the judgment God said, “Well, you did lot of prayer, you really did, but you didn’t put your heart into it okay, go back, have another life that’s it, this was just to warn you, get out.”

He never went, he stood there. He said, “Why don’t you go?”

He said, “This guy I know, he has all his life been abusing God, I want to know what happens to him, I am just waiting for that.”

He said, “Okay, you wait.”

He said, “You abused God a lot, but with absolute pure heart, you get to heavens….”

This guy said, “What is going on?”

He said, “Nothing, it is a matter of heart. Though he yelled and scream and called names to God, but he was calling for help, God know that. Though you were doing all ritualistic organizational prayers, but your heart was never in it.”

Now don’t blame me when I am going to say this, but I want you to be warned. Don’t agree with me; okay. Just take it, it is my affair; I have nothing to do with you. I don’t want to spoil you Americans, but I am telling you, there is no power in the head; it is all in the heart. God gave you head to give it to God. God gave you heart to that. That’s why 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. asked for the head, not for the heart. It was that Mexican tribe, what they call them? They used to sacrifice a man? Ah?

Class: (?)

YB: They used to take the heart out. Head is for God, heart is for you, whosoever lived with a head to God, heart to self, his prayer is and her prayer is complete. Question, please.

Student: (----)

YB: We only know and feel God when we suffer, uh? Because otherwise all the time, otherwise you feel ego. You don’t feel and you think you are perfect. Do you know there are very few human beings who feel they are imperfect? At most of the time, we feel we are perfect in spite of the fact we know only God is perfect. So we compete with God; so we don’t fear. What is a suffering? Suffering is when we think and desire and feel something is ours or happen, or da da da, it doesn’t happen. Or body doesn’t work for us. Then we start looking to the unknown, but when we are known to the unknown, then we will not suffer.

Student: (----)

YB: No, soul is transferred. The other body is totally ripe; it is a snap system, cut, up; it is all set. And also don’t misunderstand that you must get a human body. No, no, computer has failed many times. Computer has failed many times. Sometimes soul is, Human soul has to go to a human body, you understand the story is said, there was a one lady she had a dog in her lap, both were equally pregnant.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: But she-dog got it and she didn’t.

God is perfect, His computer has created a mess, I tell you, you can see it and feel it. You watch one human being very cleverly and very diligently and very intelligently you will be surprised you can immediately find the previous reincarnation from behavior, walk, talk, symptom, sign, they deal that way.

I know of a man, I know him by nature, he is like this, oh what is this to do, what is this, he puts up his mouth like that and smells things.

Students: (----).

YB: And one day I was just not cautious and I said, “What you do this for?”

He said, “No, I don’t do it.”

I said, “Go before the mirror and do the same thing.”

He couldn’t do it because he was automatically doing it, so I told him stay there for a while, after a while he did like that right there, he said, “Yeah I did it.”

I said, “Habit of a pig has not even forgotten when you have become a man even and then I said O my God what I have done.” Then he insisted that I should open the file, pages, and talk about it. I said, “Wait a minute,” I said, “All right my apologies I am very sorry, it was the slip of the tongue,” because I didn’t like it and then I told him, I said “You promise that you will two and half hour a day you will meditate.”

And then he insisted. I said, “Look you were a pig, there was no reason for you to be human, part of your meat was thrown away, part of your meat was thrown away and a hungry man of God came and ate it and blessed you and in lieu of that virtue you have got this body, you don’t deserve it, that’s a fact, not only you deserve it, now you got it, you deserve it, you have a teacher, now you are asking question, but why can’t you just eliminate this habit.”

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Have you seen the pigs doing it, that’s a normal sick habit, it’s extremely exact. So you can blame the incarnation and you can blame where you are going, actually the sensitivity of a human body just know where you are going, from where you have come and you can know it, it’s not difficult. Yeah.

One eliminates the self and bring the infinite in it, one take the self and make it infinite. ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. is when you say, Aamee satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. braham, I am the true God, that is ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself.

‘O God nothing belongs to me, nothing is in me, all is all yours.’

That is BhaktiBhakti Self-purification, The devotional form of yoga practiced by a Bhakta. . In Sikh way of life you have to be surprising it is a combination of BhaktiBhakti Self-purification, The devotional form of yoga practiced by a Bhakta. and ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself.

‘Nanak neech kayai veechar’

Very low, they played very low because they saw the Infinity of God, they experienced the Infinity of God, they placed themselves very low, but when it comes 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. Guru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. ,

‘Siri mukhvat patashaaho dasemee.’

From the great mouth of the tenth king, no mallah business, no mallah nava mallah (?) nothing, have you noticed that, all recitation of GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru.

Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. are addressed as a Siri mukhvat patashaaho dasemee, from the gate very mouth of Siri the tenth king. So what I am trying to relate to you these two methods have been exclusively explained what is BhaktiBhakti Self-purification, The devotional form of yoga practiced by a Bhakta. and what is ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. , but both have the same end to merge in God and to find God in our experience. Yes.

YB: Role of intuition in a woman is very strong, woman is basically highly intuitive, actually they call woman a wireless station. You know sometime woman feels she doesn’t know what to say, she doesn’t know what to feel, she doesn’t know anything but just she say, there is something wrong somewhere. You understand, from where it comes? Intuition. Why woman has a more intuition than a man? Because she is a mother. Intuition of the woman works when her surroundings are going to be endangered, going to be endangered. And if her mind is clearer little bit you will be shockingly aware she can totally pinpoint the whole thing. Yes.

Student: (----).

YB: They sit in the second ether most of the time.

Student: (----).

YB: No, no, first you have two paths to go; when you enter, when you die, first of all you understand nobody bothers you, death is very simple, when you die in those first five seconds when your soul is entering from the pranic body to the subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. its total weight is reduced less than a quarter ounce., its size is reduced exactly equal to this thumb, it is just like a what they call it-flame, have you seen that gas flame blue little, that’s how it is, that’s why you see it when they put it through, that’s how it leaves and after that it does go through a cylindrical movement, just like a cylinder and it’s very peaceful, death is very peaceful, doesn’t matter how it is, it is the most peaceful experience in the world, because I went through it personally, I am not making it up and after going through that cylindrical experience you go and reach a point where you feel very calm, very comfortable, and very together, before that in that change time you are totally shown the entire action of your life in a panorama show from breathing one to that second.

There is nothing in the life you don’t know what you have done, bad, good it is your karmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. , you condemn yourself and you accept yourself, that is your problem and when you go to the cylindrical thing then there is a second chance, when you go in a cylindrical thing and you reach a point of calmness, quietness, and peacefulness, there comes a big circle of light, very bright. On one side you will see kind of a beautiful old grayish door, you all will see it, just remember my word, none can go without this process and inside you see warm, you can smell food if you tune that way, that is the path to hell. On the other side you find a straight path going through icy snow mountains, choice is (?), both side your relatives whom you love and like them are calling from… It was that moment I decided to return.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: And when I woke up there were about thirty, forty blankets over me, doctor has already declared me dead, and it’s all over and when I got up they ran, you can’t believe it.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: And I said, “What was wrong with me?”

And the doctor said, “Yeah no sir there was nothing wrong with you, it’s all right.”

I said, “What do you mean all right, what is happening, what is this blankets for?”

Then he privately told me, he said, “Sir you better go back to Amritsar, actually it is forty-five minutes ago you had died.”

I said, “Long time.”

He said, “Well whatever (?), you got up.”

Man I came down from that place you can’t believe it, picked up the jeep, back to Amritsar, no problem. But that experience is very exact with me. Yeah.

Student: (----).

YB: I just decided not to go.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: It’s true. I said, “What for?”

It was a holy place where I was and I decided not to die there because I thought and in my entire family nobody will come here, they will think this is very unfortunate place why to die here.

I said, “No I am going back.”

That’s all no big deal. I think I was supposed to live otherwise why should I come back, it was very peaceful and I wanted to go through the hill, so now I know.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Bad and good I am going to choose that. Yeah.

Student: (----).

YB: Liberation what, she has a question about liberation, what is it?

Student: (----).

YB: O God, you have to be totally free, honest, virtuous, happy, giving, don’t you look like it is heavy.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: You have tied six turbans, ninety blouses.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: Thirty-six skirts, twenty-eight chudidhars, nine boots on your feet, that’s how you sound.

Students: (Laughter.)

YB: That isn’t liberation these days, no, no you are just to be you, you have to be just to be you, you to the extent that you are very honest, you are very simple, and you are good, you are you. Yeah.

Student: (----).

YB: Oh yeah, children are best.

Student: (----).

YB: Some you won’t believe me I had a brother, he was meditating when he was three day old. He didn’t live long that is true but surprisingly I have never seen that boy, I mean he was younger to me. Actually it was my competition with him, that’s true, but I have also seen children which are very meditative, which are… Have you seen children when they born they are smiling, they are happy, they talk to you, you don’t understand but they are telling you I am here.

Student: (----).

YB: What did you say?

Student: (----).

YB: Give your head to God, it’s very simple, nirbhao, nirvair, be fearless and have no revenge, for you no anger, no reaction. God doesn’t take revenge from us and God is not afraid of us and that is the truth that is 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. 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.

It is called the Bij Mantra - the seed for all that comes. Naam , 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. . When you give your head to God you live by heart.

Arey there are five ways to get liberated, 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. named them as Piaras, five beloveds; DharmaDharma A path of righteous living. It is both an ideal of virtue and a path of action that is infused with clear awareness and comprised of actions that are the soul in total synchrony with the universe. It is action without reaction or karma. Singh, first is Daya, Daya Singh, BhaiBhai Brother. Daya Singh, Daya means kind, first is kindness, then DharmaDharma A path of righteous living. It is both an ideal of virtue and a path of action that is infused with clear awareness and comprised of actions that are the soul in total synchrony with the universe. It is action without reaction or karma. Singh, righteousness, then Mokum, organization, then Himmath, courage, and then Sahib Singh, grace, simple way, five ways. First when you will become kind God you will become kindly person, compassionate.

I tell the story of a compassion, there was a great spiritual teacher, his name was Humzo, Humzo was a great saint of his time, great teacher, he had lot of disciples, so one early in the morning all the disciples came to be with him and they saw him he is hung with the tree with one leg with a rope with the tree and he is upside down and he is hanging so they couldn’t decide whether we should bring him down or keep him up whether he is up there by himself and whether he is… what happened nobody knows. So one guy said, he said, “Well, he is the master he knows what he is doing, we came here to pray, let us sit down and pray.”

So they were doing the prayer downstairs and he was hanging upside down, nobody cared, they finished their prayer, they left, one out of them didn’t go, he simply went above the tree, saw his master face to face, he said, “Master what I can do for you?”

He said, “Untie me and bring me down.”

He said, “Thank you master.”

So he went where he was tied in, he untied him and bring(brought) him down and put him to rest and served him whole day, he never used to even see him much, touch him much, but that whole day he was doing all the service, he was very pleased, in the evening the same batch came to do the prayer, they saw their master sleeping and this man massaging his feet and they asked him, they said, “What happened?”

He said, “Nothing, you all left, I didn’t, I went up the tree, I looked in the eyes of my master I said him what you want, he said untie me down, so I brought him down, put him rest and since I am massaging his feet, nothing doing, ask him.”

They all questioned, they said, “Master you were a great master. We didn’t question what you were doing, we did our prayer and went.”

He said, “Fool that is what I was judging if some of you will be tie upside down will somebody take a compassionate look at it, among you there was only one who could feel my pain and my position exactly as me, that’s why whole night I hassled to tie myself safely, so I may not fall back of my…,” he say “It took me whole night to do this drama so that in the morning I will be hanging here and I will like to see if there is somebody among you compassionate, sensitive, and kind who will at least see that your own teacher is lying upside down, is it not obligatory.” And he said “he is the blessed one, he didn’t yell from downstairs, he really give me grace, he came all the way up, look into my eyes in me, had seen sequence and asked my master what I can do for you. I could have told me leave me alone, he would have gone, I told him leave me down so he brought me down, you all are great disciples, but unkind, insensitive, ritualistic.”

Kindness is the mother of truth and compassion is the father of truth. When compassion and kindness join truth is born. Sing.
