… I am a substitute speaker…

(Students’ laughter)

Students: (----)

YB: For, I am a substitute speaker for somebody’s room and somebody’s place and I do not know the name of the speaker and I do not know what the speaker was going to speak. But…

Student: Death and dying.

YB: Death and dying, I am, I am PhD on it don’t worry.

(Students’ laughter)

Now because I have been told that my speaker was supposed to speak on death and dying and now I know I know her. Now I will speak to you on death and dying in the concept of conscious, subconscious and unconscious and in the mega sense and micro sense of the situation. So I will carry on the tradition of the speaker, plus I will add something from here and there, if I can get it.

What is death? Death is a process where 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. does not exist within the control of your ego. Death you can be braindead and still alive. Death is you share it everyday with yourself. At a certain moment, when you sleep, you do not know you are a man or a woman, person or who you are, what your status is and you are gone. It is that complete sleep in absolutely in a state of thuriya, which give your body for next day. If that sleep is taken away from you for twenty-six days, you will die automatically, there is no lethal injection required. If you do not understand, go to those people who cannot sleep at night. Look at their life and their story, it is most miserable.

I have died once in my life and I will tell you my personal experience about death. I was officer in Amritsar and Jammu-Kashmir and Punjab and all that was in my range, my headquarter was Amritsar and once a friend officer of mine called me and he said, “I have two guest from East India that Assam, very faraway state and they want to go to Vaishno Devi.” There is a temple in Jammu and he said, “We have no means to take it but your jurisdiction is unlimited, you can go anywhere you want, so why don’t you oblige me to taking these people to Vaishno Devi.”

Vaishno Devi is a temple, it is on the hill and lot of thousands of people go there and it’s a fantastic place. So I said, “Okay, I will take them.”

So I ordered my jeep and my driver and my escorts and I made the tour and ordered and first we went to Dharamsala, where you see Dalai Lama lives now, there is a place call Kagal, they wanted to meet a greatest astrologer and I was shocked to know how that astrologer can tell about everybody. I mean to say, it amazed me, I mean to say, there was nothing I could do with this man and he said, “You will be this, this, this, this, this, this, this.” And he didn’t even ask my name and I said, you know I was on uniform, I said, “You don’t know my name how can you say, I am this, this, this, this, your name is this, this, this?”

He said, “Okay, I have nothing to say now, let’s go.”

So I went there and when you reach this temple on the height of that place, it’s very difficult, it’s very painful journey and we did it right and when I went up there, I did the biggest blunder of my life, I took cold water glass, that only I remember last. When later on I woke up, everybody ran, I saw everybody running from the room and there was a, my face was covered with a blanket and according to them and medically I have died forty-five minutes, that was their medical record. I died, they brought me in that room as dead, doctor declared me dead, and forty-five minutes had passed. So I woke up and I said, “Oh I was dead?”

He said, “Sir, yes you were.”

I said, “Okay, now I am not, I am alive?”

He said, “Yes sir, you are alive.”

I said, “You are a doctor here?”

He said, “Yes sir, I am a doctor here.” You know he knew me I was senior officer and there was, other than sir, there was no other way to get away with it.

And I said, “How I died?”

He said, “We do not know outside at the stall you fell unconscious, so you were brought here and I examined, there was no heartbeat and everything was over with, so that’s all it is and your friends are around here.” So because friends were running around and asking to find out a place to inform the headquarters that I have died now what next to do. So they were asked to come in and I looked at them and I said, “I am fine. You are okay?”

“What happened, you totally took us out?”

And I said, “Well, it happened.”

What my experience was after I fainted, it was like a cylindrical round what you call is lift and you might be afraid of all dying, dying is the most beautiful, wonderful experience.

Once a while as 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. , I get to that experience, when we meditate in a crossed touch of a space into three mega multi-met alma ecstasy we get into that kind of status in our mind, we do enjoy it something like that, not all the way like that but it’s a great experience and the experience was I was sinking, sinking, sinking going down, like as our lifts are sometime, they don’t stop, they go right to the point and I came out. And there was a round square, it was highly lit, there were two sides to it, right and left, left side like a bar, very warm, very hot and people were talking and you can hear voices and all that and you see on the left side, all your relatives, believe me or not and on the right side, also you see relatives but it is like a place with a snow, like you are going to a hill station and you are right in the center and both sides your thought relatives call on you. I decided to come up, I took the lift, neither I went right, nor I left, I came back, backward, satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. on the lift, came up and I woke up the eyes, that is my experience of death and it shall happen to you all. What happens in a death, when you have to die, you have exactly thirty seconds.

There are three types of death; one is disease and sickness, you pay 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. and you struggle in the end life, people say it is a miserable death, but it’s not a miserable death, that’s the best death because you take it on your body all the pain, martyrs take on their bodies and human takes on their body, they pay their 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. and it’s a very painful death, it’s a everyday, it’s a little by little, it is sickness, it is and then you know you are sinking, you are going and that’s the last time, when you can consciously connect with your Infinity, you are going, pain is there, how you are going to that pain, how you are going to deal with that pain, how you can create conquering that pain, if you can conquer that pain, in your language, not in my language, you have already found the heavens. If you surrender to that pain, you have already found your hell, there is nothing in between. All this 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. , all this spirituality, all this working in the morning, three o’clock in a cold water and two and a half hour giving one-tenth of the day, doing good to people, meditating, shaking hands, spiritually blessing, having great temples made and millions people follow means nothing if you miss that thirty seconds, period.

All these practices are preparation towards that death, it doesn’t mean a thing. It is absolutely a joke, that all you do is to live, all your comforts are to live, you have never prepared to die. It amazes me, allover the world I go, it amazes me, that nobody understand, this is a eventual undefinable act, we have all to die, whether you are Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Christian, you are a short, small, tall. Death is inevitable and everyday meditatively you must die. If you want no fear of death in the end, you have only one thing to do, you must voluntarily die, it’s called, ‘Jagrat Supana Sukupath Thuriya.’ It’s called thuriya stage. Where I can die and I can live again consciously and please find some good 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. or a good teacher, I don’t have a time here to teach you all that because that’s a process I will ask you.

So go to somebody who can teach you, go to some, if you are a Jew, go to some rabbi, who knows about it, if you are Christian, find some priest, if you are a Sikh, find some Sikh person. Don’t listen to people telling you and giving you hope and telling you how wonderful it can be for you, there is no wonder, if those thirty seconds you miss, it is called korada. It’s called divine grinding. In that divine grinding, when you are dying, you will face a absolute something, you will face the entire panorama of your life and it will be as correct as exact as you can imagine, you can lie about it and all that. It will take ten seconds only by measurement of time and local time, longitude, latitude, where you are lying flat, exact ten second, your entire life, what you have done, what you are thinking when you are doing, it will go through your life, like a panorama. Other ten seconds, you can meditate, another second breath will leave your body, where there is thirty seconds of total life preparation, which everybody has to do, whether he likes it or not. Religion is only that reality, rest is total bogusity, if you are not prepared for those thirty seconds, you have not prepared yourself in this life at all. I don’t care how religious I am, I don’t care, how non-religious I am, if I will miss that thirty seconds of my life, I have missed it and that is the only seriousness about death.

Death is not a camouflage, death is not, which can be avoided, death is not which is in your hand. Death strikes, four times in your life, fifth time it will take you away and if you look at your living life, you will see four things when you just were, just on the brim of it. If you have counted those four times of your death, don’t count on the fifth, it’s time to go and there is no doubt about it. Lot of people are these days are suffering because of death. Death and dying is a very painful project with lot of people, I have helped lot of teachers who are into this field, letting them understand, how to comfort a person. First of all, there should be no fear of death because death… God is three words, if there is any God or you believe in Him, G O D, generate-G, organize-O and dead. If you cannot deliver yourself in death, you have destroyed this lifetime. There are three letters in it, G O D and these three faculties of God, one who generates you, one who organizes and takes care of you and one who takes care of you in the ultimate end, Ekaa Maa-ee, 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. ’s words are very simple.

‘Ekaa maa-ee jugat viaa-ee tein chaley parvaan.’

There is one Primal Mother, ultimate ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. , creative ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom.

Ekaa maa-ee jugat viaa-ee, which has the intertwined with all the creation. Tein chaley parvaan, it has three facts, faculties, three facets.

‘Ik sansaaree ik bhandaaree ik laa-e deebaan’

One creates, one sustains and one delivers. So, this is what life is all about. Life is a lie, if those thirty seconds are not self-discipline, self-conception and self, you can understand. I am giving you certain exercises, certain knowledge, how to conquer the fear of death, I think the speaker who was to speak might have done more justice because that person is expert in it but happens to be a yogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , knows the knowledge, understand the faculties and projection and have done a research work on death and dying, living and laughter and lot of things. So, I do qualify because I am also PhD in psychology of communication, I also developed a research, how in those last minutes, man can communicate with his God, through his faith. So I think, with those understanding and then leaving you in some ideas that you can ask me certain question, I will do justice to this opportunity, that’s my idea.

Death, right? Close your eyes please and put your both legs on a equal weight on the ground, now we are entering the valley of death, how nicely we can enter is up to us and if you have a phobia about death, you can not do it, it’s not something, I will recommend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my insurance only covers to a certain amount and this lecture is not mine, therefore my insurance shall not cover the claim, I want to let you know. Oh, it’s very difficult to be a spiritual leader in this United States, you can’t believe it.

(Students’ laughter)

And specially, when a spiritual leader is very rich, everybody knows they can squeeze something out of him.

(Students’ laughter)

Please put your both legs on the ground and put your both hands on your shoulder. I didn’t ask you to put on your belly, which is the dying posture but cross on your shoulder like this, you know, you are dying, remember, you have to prepare yourself, you have to sit in the plane of death and go and if there is any old person, which thinks is near death, they can leave because they can leave now, they have to leave tomorrow, it is definitely a voyage you have to go through. So I am going to hypnotize you through the voyage of death, I will use three mega seven frequency gamma projection and you have to come through with this in communication and you will enjoy it and we both will enjoy it.

All right, now you are all set, right? Please close your eyes, now very calmly and just start sinking, I am happy, I am dying, my Earth job is done. I am going to beautiful new home, bright, light, divine, perfect, projected. Wow, there shall be no sweat, there shall be no pain, all will be nothing but happy, happy union, in this communion I am going. I am going to my Creator, I am meeting the one who made me, I am meeting the one who gave me body, I am meeting the one, who gave me mind, I am meeting the one, who gave me my soul, I am meeting the one, who made me meet 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. , SwamisSwami Master. , Jews, Catholics, Christians, idiots, wise, everything, it was all that great duality I am free. It is that freedom, that sovereignty, that ecstasy I am enjoying. I am going slowly, gradually, I am aware, I am very aware, I am absolutely aware, I know the perfect as a perfect happiness, all waiting for me, I will be loved, hugged, merged in that ecstasy. I am going very slowly, very relaxed, I am relaxed, I am relaxed, I am relaxed, I am absolutely passing through that phase, where there is no sweat, no pain, no debauch, no anxiety, no difficulty, I am free, I have done my job, my journey is complete, I have reached the destination and the destiny, I have reached my end.

Now, it is not my end, it is the end of my difficulties, my sweat, my fear, my seeing, after meeting my Almighty Creator, who gave me the soul, mind and body, I shall live in His will, all the will, which will decide me in my next step, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am. Concentrate, let me concentrate through the difficult passage of my life through death, through the sound of vibratory, mega sense, so no fear can catch me, when I am dying. I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am. Please tap your shoulders, strongly, don’t be very gentle, hard, beat them up, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat. Hooof, all right, you may live but that is the sound, it is three mega sound watt, alpha sound, which comes through and carry you because your cell have to vibrate to create that energy.

Now second thing which I am going to share you, there is a one Creator and we are His creation and we chant word Ong, right and you have been loaded with that chant but you have to know chant as it should be because basically Om you cannot chant, Om is not a bekhriBekhri Sound made with the tip of the tongue. i.e., aloud. , when I speak with my tongue Om, that is bekhriBekhri Sound made with the tip of the tongue. i.e., aloud. , when I said, Aum, that is kanth, when I said, Ong, that is hriday, when I said, that is anhad but Om is a proverb, it’s a word, it’s a sound para,

‘Para Paar Brahm Parmeshwar Parmatma.’

It’s the sound of the Para 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. chanted it 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. gave us to chant. I will give you an example, how to chant it and see how difficult it is and one chant can do it all, than suffering hours and hours. It’s not very… Practice can make you perfect. Better you cleanse your passage so that there may not be any difficulty, so I did that. It’s very convenient for me to do it but I will teach you how to do it.

Ek Ongggggggggg… The real conch is in the passage of the nasal where the pituitary is, where the breath of life and the throat meets, there is a cavity, it’s the cavity of the conch, when the air strikes that, you chant Ong. Got it?

(Students’ laughter)

What is so difficult, didn’t I do it? Wasn’t fun? When you do that sound, create that sound, entire brain is exercised, all parts of it is energized and you become what you don’t want to become, excellent. Life is not powerful, your money is not powerful, though it’s good, your life is not powerful, though it’s fine. Your knowledge is not powerful though it’s great, your what you call is play on people is not powerful, though it makes you feel good. What is good in you is the excellence and excellence is when somebody comes to ask you, you give that person something, that wisdom, that knowledge in a excellent way, that that person’s entire pain is gone and it has to be spontaneous, no promises and that is what is excellence. To create that excellent, excellent human and excellent people, 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. chanted Ong and I like you to understand, so that you will know, what I am talking about. Okay?

Now, please be steady and don’t you cross your legs. I know it is convenient but that cuts the energy and you have to have a magnetic energy and heavenly energy both in balance, so you sit on chair that is fine but put your both feet on the ground excellently and spine straight and you will enjoy it. That’s all, it is just an exercise, I want to share with you. Now, it is very convenient, the way I did it, it looks very special to you but it is not. Now, come on with the sound, Ek,

Students: Ek.

YB: Ek Ongggggggg… Kar, Kar is the rest, Kar is the rest, Ong is in between. If you ever chant Ong, I promise you, you will not have a loincloth, it’s a absolute 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. and you have to be in your birth body dress and you know what that is and we are householders, that’s why, we chant Hari Om. You will see lot of people chanting Hari Om, Hari Om and very few, who are into a different kind of discipline, they let the householder chant, Om, Om, Om, Om, Om, Om Hari, I have seen it, I have twenty-five years, not to sixty-four years, I have moved among them, I know that you add another word. Because Om is a absolute sound and in the Puran also it says, it cannot be said, cannot be chanted, can’t be done but there is a technology through which you can go and if you perfect the sound and you happened to perfect it, at the time of death, you don’t need any precaution, get to that sound, let your 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. go, you die by yourself.

YB: If you can perfect this sound in this way it takes exact ninety days to open the conch in a worst case. If person is a dumb and dull and has a mental problem, I have done it that in my mental institutions and in certain cases of my psychology analysis where I find there is no hope. Period. And I have done it. The person, people are executive president, they are fine, they are married, they have children, they are rich. And once a while they give me a good breakfast. You know what I mean?

So, I mean to say whatever the concept and conception you have about life, I don’t have that. I was born prince, I have seen wealth, I, as much as I can lie about it, is not worthwhile, I have seen riches. Pakistan came, I was a pauper. I had only one underwear on my body. Then I remain eighteen years in India, I lived my life, I was a very powerful officer and I ran my life very well. And then circumstances forced me that I decided not to go to Russia because I have a knowledge which Russians wanted and I took shelter in Canada. I didn’t come here to become 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. , or even to say anything. I was supposed to teach parapsychology in the University of Toronto. But everything fell apart and God wanted me this way as I am. And I am very grateful to Almighty God and 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 Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. Ram DasGuru Ram Das Fourth Guru of the Sikhs. nobody stood with me, so I am not obligated to anybody. And that is the relationship you have to have. Your God and your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and you, this makes the trinity. This trinity will help you at the time of death, why not it should help you in the time of life? Why not it help you time of the day? If you do not understand this, you will or shall be miserable. There is no way to recount your misery because life is a duality, action and reaction.

What is resurrection? Action and reaction you cannot avoid so long you are human, resurrection is, ‘father, forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.’ That is resurrection. That made him Jesu, the Christ, he was on Christ. They hung him over there, they say they are hundred seventy people follow him, he is a miserable man, he is invoking Jews. But that forgiveness when he was nailed up there, that made him Jesus the Christ, not you Christian, who cannot learn forgiveness. When he was nailed at that cross, that Jew, he forgave and that forgiveness was followed and he became son of God. And so long that forgiveness, if you are a mankind and you don’t have a kindness and compassion, you will be in pain. Nothing can help you. You can have sixty bedroom house, you can have boats, you can have everything, you can shake hand with president and you can go do anything, your life will be full of pain, there will be no happiness, no pleasure, if you do not understand the Trikuti. Trimurti.

Trimurti is the basic thing, you, your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. within you and your God within you. If three do not sit with you all the time, these two eyes can see, third eye should judge it. This tongue speaks, 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. should judge it, your ears hear your intelligence should judge it. Don’t become beggars. Nobody can give you anything.

‘Birtha Apney JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. Ki Gurpe ArdasArdas Prayer; the formal group prayer of the Sikhs. Kar.’

Take the story of your life and ask your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. within to come through and I tell you 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. may not, God shall. And that was my privilege folks, that nobody stood with me. I become a classis joke of my community, my religion and my people. And those who used to touch my feet in India, because I was a officer, they saw me and they turned their back. It was what a wonderful thing. And I went to some place to a holy congregation, they took away my shoes, my feet are very big. Now I have a factory, I don’t care but at that time I couldn’t wear any other shoes, they were big feet. So I started wearing a newspaper, tie it with strings to walk in the snow of Toronto. And one day I picked up a newspaper of yesterday so I wanted to make a shoe out of it, and the front page my picture was. And I was, and newspaper was Global Mail, which is the biggest newspaper of Canada. So I tied another newspaper, I kept that and I read that article about me, what joy I have brought and how many people I have helped because I go, used to go to YMCA and teach people how to be slim and trim and happy and this and that. Your knowledge is a knowledge, it’s not something anybody can steal away from me, doesn’t matter what I go. So that was my third start of life and one day circumstances asked me to come to Los Angeles, and I came with thirty-five dollars, I still have them.

So what I am trying to tell you is, nothing will work with you, only you with your self and your Creator which gave you life. So please don’t misunderstand and don’t become beggar, God, no father likes begging children, no mother likes idiot families. So neither the God, the Creator, nor the creation will like you, if you ask people to give you anything. But create in you the sense of consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. and that sound which can take you away from the death of death and fear so that you can always walk tall in excellence and in joy.

I’ll expose myself to few minutes of questions on death and dying, if you want to. Or if you have some other lecture, there is nothing much we are going to sign that paper in that, what they call Parliament. And, they wanted to put Dalai Lama on, I think for the security reason and for my reason that you have to give this class to me, it all happened change. So is there any question I can answer anybody who is… Yes, please.

Yes ma’am?

YB: Soul enters into another body under three commands. One is immediate entry, that is you have to be accidented and within next thirty minutes, thirty seconds your body is ready, you have to be reborn. It only give you a thirty seconds time limit, there is no chance that you can be more. Second is, going through the KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. 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. all the way and creating your next body and third is finishing your work and getting into the Creator. That’s how soul does, provided it is not dormant. It’s awakened, that’s…

Yes ma’am?

Student: (----)

YB: Taking coffee in the morning and Turkish and all that, yeah, I know. And eating a bagel with lot of cream.

Student: (----)

YB: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It’s not a failure, it is just going to work in the eight O’clock in the morning and quitting at four O’clock. Life is not yours, it’s a gift. You get it to go through it and get out of it. The problem is getting out is not your problem, absolutely choice. You don’t want to get out of it. There is no failure.

Student: (----)

YB: (?) it is just excuses. These diseases are excuses. Your body is deteriorating, car goes away. Car falls apart, carburetor is off, this is that, (?) normal thing. What do you think, it’s a, body is a perfect, it is five elements. Something has to fail. I traveled twenty years in a place, thirty four thousand feet and you know the radiation got me. Big deal. And these people meditate so heavily and do so prayer, I have to come back again, I mean, this is a tug of war going on, I want to go home, they want to keep me here. This is going on, what is the big difference? Absolutely nothing. I mean, this time they told me, “You are going to hospital and you think you are going to die? No, three days later you will be with us,” and I was. So I decided fourth day let me teach them, what is the difference? They got me back, so let me serve them, at least that is deserving. I am not supposed to be here, medically but I decided why to deny those who have prayed for me and those who have sent flowers and prayers and all that, why not, let’s go, see who we meet.

Never understand life is you. Life is not you. Life is a gift for you. And the giver can take. And when time is up, go up. If time is not up, keep up. That’s all it is. So don’t make big philosophy, you know, I saw a book on death as it is. This thick. Now tell me what this thick book can tell you. Dying is a eventual truth, preparing is you. That’s all, there is nothing to it.

One more question and we quit. Yes. Yeah, I’ll take you.

Student: (?) Can you explain (?) more about (?) if you die (?) and your soul travels (?) and you miss something about that (?).

YB: Yeah, if you die and your soul miss something, come back again and do it, (?) bodies are all available, 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. don’t go anywhere, matter can be changed into energy, energy can be changed into matter, there is no problem, don’t worry about it. If you don’t finish something now, finish next time, it’s okay. It’s nothing serious.

Student: (----)

YB: No, there is no other person, that’s your soul and a body. Car registration number, when you go to New Mexico registration number changes from New York. There is no big difference in that, it’s just same thing. You people make it so serious, it’s nothing serious, it’s a body. Bodies are bodies and minds are minds and soul is a soul. So what is there, I have, I have got thirty five cars, which car I travel, what difference it makes, whichever car it is. Car is a car. What difference it makes which car I sit? If I don’t sit in a car, I sit in a truck, if not, in a jeep, it’s body, some pigmy, some big, some tall. What happen if you would have born in Brazil? Same thing, it would have been pigmy body and your soul.

I mean to say, this fear of dying is so heavy on people, it doesn’t make any sense.

Anything else? Yes, your question.

Student: (----)

YB: Louder, these people like to listen, they are very patient people listening to it.

Student: (----)

YB: (?) second, you shall master and you have to master. I can’t master for you. If your Guruji tells you that somebody is going to master it for you, forget that, give him a punch, that’s a lie. Nobody masters those damn thirty seconds except you and you alone. It is you who is dying, not your Guruji, not your Swamiji and not your Yogiji, it is just you.

Is this room allotted to you?

You understand? It is exactly that last moment where you and your mastery must come through at the moment of death. You will never die.

Student: (----)

YB: Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. In those thirty second, in ten second you see everything you have done, next ten second you judge yourself, and next ten second you are somewhere else. Thirty second, simple deal. And that’s what this 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. , Ek Ong Kar is. It covers three sections of life. And when you chant it that way, it open up the command center Agia Chakar and then you can command freedom. Rest is all bogacity. I am sixty-four year old, I have taught for forty years and I am telling you the essence.

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. , Aradhana, Prabhupati, that’s the essence.

Beyond there is no, no need to study anything, it is up to you how you want to do it.

You know, you have to understand, in Buddhism there is no death. There is no life. It’s a continuous subject, there is no God to merge to. It’s our idea to merge in God, in our idea there is a God. You know, Buddhist monk will put a oil on himself and put to fire and sit down and he is in ecstasy. For you it is dying. Or for Sikhs you know, they were put on a hot plate, they were boiled alive, they were cut into pieces and they never shed a tear, they never even, their body didn’t jerk. But how they got it? I mean to say, three hundred year old. Forget about three thousand year ago thing. It’s just within these three years. I mean, just understand in Punjab, I know, one’s relative, young man of eighteen year old was got arrested falsely. I know, it is a fact. And he was tortured by pouring kerosene oil little by little by the police. He satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. and satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. and satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. and satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. and meditated and meditated and chanted and chanted till the soul left. And it’s not very old story, it’s a story of a couple months and a young boy, not married but he has that capacity, he had that practice.

When I went this time back in India the mother said he loved you very much. I said, “He sits with God because he died as a martyr.”

There was no pain in her eyes, there was no anxiety in my body and we understood it, this is fine. It was the will of the Creator as always it is and he stood the test. For you it is a torture, for us it is a agony, for some it is a human right. As far as I am concerned it was test of his graduation and he graduated A+, that’s all.

Thank you.

Oh yes.

YB: I said, it’s a graduation.

Oh, she can write it for you.

Thank you very much, it was not my class, it was on death and dying, I think I have done some justice to it.

(Applause)

Hey, you clap too much, go ahead, clap, because I did somebody’s job.
