Once somebody went to a place, the man just gave him a horse and told him that take it as my gift. The gentleman took the horse, stayed there for few days and enjoyed the hospitality and rode the horse went away. After ten days he was back there again on the horse. He was received again.

And he said, "What happened?"

He said, "I don't know I tried to go to such and such town and then to such and such town but this horse ran back and came here."

The host said, "Look, I mean that's all right the horse has attachment with this town, this village, with my feast with everything I can understand but just remember I gave it to you."

He said, "I understand I am grateful."

So after staying there one or two days learning more about the horse, he rode the horse again and went away.

After ten days he was back again, in the town again.

He was received this time and he was fed and he was comforted and the gentleman said, "What happened this time?"

He said, "The same thing. I was gone to two towns, I stayed there, I was very happy I was going to go to the third town horse just turned around came back stopped only here, there is nothing I could do."

So the host realized and he said, "Well, let us tell you how to deal with the horse."

Then he said, "All right fine."

In a month or two he was given all the training he requires to have and then in this time he left the town again, never came back again. Somebody just asked the host.

He said, "What was our responsibility? I mean you were over kind to the guy you just gave him a horse and he came twice here and then one month you have give the training and everything."

The host said, "You can give a gift but somebody may not train to have it, it is also responsibility that to give people the gift of mind by God and that is why God has to send God people to just give that training so that the horse mind may not bring you back to your own disaster."

Corruption segregates you from your soul. It segregates you from your self respect, it segregates you of the worst of all from your own value. When a man is segregated from the value then that person is a market can be sold and bought. And so long a person can be sold and bought there shall be no happiness, because that is called slavery. Slavery is when you can be sold and bought for your potential that is called slavery, you are taken away by force, you are sold for some amount and amount can be direct or indirect. I can give you a very pussy temptation job, pull you, suck you into me and exploit your potential and if you do not have your basic value to understand and understand it then you are a slave, you have no independence. That is why this mind, this horse given to us by God was not to ride our emotion and our physical commotions it was to ride our soul on it. The relationship between mind and soul is so near and so direct, through mind you can see your soul and through your soul you can control your mind. It's a relationship of a rider and a ride. But because we are not trained we don't want to be trained.

If anybody has to disagree with me, you have the right to disagree with me but after all the purpose of your life is happiness and you are very enthusiastic about it to be happy. And you have values, lot of values, you are most blessed to have any values, but you cannot have values and enjoy them if you do not know their proper use. They can bring you back to the snake pit. That is what gifts can do. Every human being is a very gifted individual and specially people in 3HO are very gifted, but they are unable to get rid of their one neurosis. Just one and it brings them back through a circle of couple villages back to the same pit. There is nothing much to do, there is very little to do and some are so tired they can't do that little.

At this moment the entire Khalsa nation is being confronted and there is a very little to do. There is a basic requirement to be a Khalsa, that's a basic requirement because what is being confronted is not individual, not Sikhs, not at all. Nobody is fighting the Sikhs and nobody is fighting the individual or a nafru they call it, I mean to say a majmua nafri. How many people are there eleven million or ten million? What is being fought at this time is neurotic people who do not know how to act as a Khalsa. If the intelligence of a Khalsa can be defeated I am willing to bet on that. There is no such thing as misery, as defeat, as separation, as pain it is the mismanagement of handling the mental attributes. When you mismanage the mental attributes then you are going to cause pain to yourself. Now, when you cause pain to yourself you want everybody to share your pain that is the most ridiculous thing as a human being. When you are happy you want to enjoy with one and when you are in pain you want to share with everybody. Rather it's a very ridiculous thing to do, when you are happy share with anybody, when you are in pain share with yourself. That's the right way to go, that's the honest way to go.

And if you have understood the simile which I gave you that you want to ride a horse which is given to you as a gift, but you do not want to know how to handle it then must admit that you do not know to handle it, it took the rider two times, third time he said I am sorry you gave me the gift, I do not know how to ride the horse. After a while this guy brings me back where it brings. Mind is the most sophisticated gift ever God gave you. When soul was given the body and asked to go and pay 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. , soul stood in salutation and said, "My lord I am leaving you but I am part of you I cannot live without you. Give me exception that I can reach you though I have been asked to serve this time so many breath I am being separated from you, I do not know within those breaths I can concept myself to the point that I'll come back and merge back with you. There may be a possibility that after within that period of that many breaths I may be condemned to a bigger cycle and then to a bigger cycle and to a bigger cycle. Give me three blessings, that is called trinity of the Divinity. Grant me one opportunity that I can reach you anytime." God gave the mind. Human mind was that gift, you can reach God in concept, above time and space though the body is subject to time and space, it's a known fact. Then give me an opportunity that I must meet a man of Godhead, or a spiritual teacher whom I can obey so that my mind can obey me. When you believe a spiritual...

First of all just try to remember if you don't want a spiritual teacher don't have it, there is no need to have it. The concept of a spiritual teacher is that souls said give me a God head so that I can obey that man, that person, that individual, so that my soul can make my mind to obey. And third give me the sound the signal, the sign, the shabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. , so that in any disarray of circumstances and arrangement I can make thee within me. I may not have the possibility to come within thee, but I can make thee to come within me. Three things were granted and that is what mind is about.

Fifteen years I have served you in few days I'll retire myself and I have started requesting people that I have signed a program with a doctor like an outdoor patient and I have to be considered six months in hospital but not actually in a bed and in room but I'll like to be treated a man in a hospital who is recuperating and I am recuperating for you, I want to recuperate how to avoid stress and strain, how to control, what to control, there are lot of logs around me and I am gone into a contract. I know some of you will be disappointed in me I am sorry I regret and I am happy that you are disappointed, because then you can make some other appointment. But if you want to stay with me then just remember this that I have to go through this program I am committed man and I have to deal with this program exactly as honestly I have promised. So if you cannot make my environments comfortable then you have the right to be disappointed and I grant you that. But just remember in fifteen years you have not listened to anything I have said I never got disappointed and I am not still disappointed that if you ever get disappointed, but I am not willing to change my this program. Not to admit a mistake is a biggest mistake and I am willing to admit my mistake that I overworked, and I over trashed my body. And that day we had a heart to heart dealing and I found out that certain wrongs have been done this body and this body needs to be recuperated. That's all that was simple as that.

Now you have the right to call me but you shall call my secretary and leave the full message and you should get the full reply. You can yell and scream on the telephone, which you normally do these days some of you, but you will be surprised there will be a answer keep up. We'll like to exhaust you in your commotional self and thirdly now we have become a Khalsa nation we have to be responsible for ourself and this spoon feeding which you are habitual to shall not be available, but under all circumstances if you are in need it will be very technically, authentically and authoritatively opinion with if you have a legal emergency we'll see that our attorneys serve you and help you. If you are in a physical difficulty, we'll see our family doctors come to your aid and if you are in any personal difficulty, we'll see that whatever personal help we can render, we will render. And if you are in a spiritual difficulty definitely and positively we'll try to be with you. But if you are a neurotic and you are a neurotic Sikh and you are very proud to be neurotic, there are hospitals and there are psychologist, psychiatrist. Please pay money, go to them and lay your garbage and learn to live with that garbage. If you not want to live happy as a husband and wife, there are courts, go and divorce. If you want to remarry feel free. And if by the way you want to drink six beers go ahead and do it also take one bottle of vodka with it to complete the course. Just remember I am not checking how many people are eating omelets it is the job of the doctor what your cholesterol shall be and how soon you will get a heart attack.

Some people are so sick they want to break rules just for the sake of attention, they will be highly disappointed. This Khalsa family shall proceed on its goal to achieve, to be healthy, to be happy and to be holy. Under those circumstances when my health has started demanding me to take care of myself, I have organized my self. And I am trying to explain it to you. Last night I came I served the lungarLangar , Lungar Free kitchen associated with Sikh worship service. , it was a very delicious Mexican lungarLangar , Lungar Free kitchen associated with Sikh worship service. and I asked myself, to educate myself, can I stand and serve and my mind can obey me or I have to obey my mind. That's all little things. You can do little things in your life to find it out whether you obey your mind or your mind obeys you. I do very little things. I am experimenting I am a good student and I want you to be good student and the job of the good student is solve little problems, problem by problem. If you want to create a disaster and want to solve it God bless your capacity, but as far as my teachings are concerned which I have learned which I am a part of, solve your problem, problem by problem and deal with your mind, stage by stage.

All you have to watch out whether you know after fifteen years obey your mind or your mind obeys you. And is the command is from you or from 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. . It's a very simple thing, it's a set principle which shall meet no defeat. If your command is from you, you will end up wrong. If your command is from 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. you shall win that is the difference between victory and defeat. There are no two opinions about it. Therefore, realize that what has been given to you as a gift like that horse can create for you the cycle of life, it can create for you the trauma of life. I have realized and I am willing to admit with you, I am very compassionate man I know how to give, I don't know how to take. End result is that I never knew how to take time for me, I never knew how to take food for me, I never knew how to take care of me I never knew how to take this or take that. Net result, look what I am facing now. But I satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down and I discussed it and the doctor said, "All right you keep your compassion don't take, give yourself a chance."

I said, "It is so simple, I will."

(Student's laughter)

"That's easy. I'll give myself a chance, but I said I have spoiled the habit of certain neurosis people, give me few days."

He said, "Three four days" and I am watching everyday, how I am dealing with it. It was fifteen days contract and if you want all help and pray it may be extending to six months, which will be a sad story. So I think basically as I am learning you can learn and look out of everything which happens to me I make it a lesson. I make a theory out of it, then I make it a practical joke out of it, I create humor out of it and exactly you can do the same. If with the sacrifice of the Akal Takht Sikhs have not learned, not to be abusive, not to be emotional, not to be ridiculous when they are going to learn? They are never going to learn forever. They are telling me that I have a good relation with Indira Gandhi and I am her puppet, actually they are the puppet. They are providing her what she needs. Puppet is who dance what the command is, we didn't dance on the recommend. We made the most successful conference in New Mexico the entire world press and the entire democratic world, cared for it and it was covered and it went as a message. To destroy that conference, a parallel conference was made in New York where at most wrong things were said, one of that is "We are going to bring heads of five hundred Hindus."

And it was said by a Sikh who looked like to be a great Sikh. That was taped and that was played before the members of the congress and before the members of parliament in India and we got a marshal law for two years. Now who is the puppet? That is exactly is what is happening. In your individual life also you say things because you want to say, you do not have learned that the word has the power more than God, because God is a word, "In the beginning there was a word, word was with God and word was God." You are what you project. You are what you say. Your one statement can change the entire atmosphere. Your one statement to your self can change your entire self. As I found out I do not know how to take and the doctor told me don't take, give, give yourself a chance, give yourself a discipline, why you are giving discipline to thousands of people? Give yourself a discipline. I thought I was very disciplined.

He said, "You are right you are spiritually very disciplined, I respect you."

He said, "To receive you is a honor to me, but as far as your physical endurance is concerned the stress has overtaken it, give yourself a chance. Let us have a contract for two weeks. And those of me those who I love and think they are part of me, come and try to destroy this contract of mine are not very friendly people. I am a very good observer and I want my contract to succeed. Just like your soul make a contract to come back to God and you came here and you forgot everything."

Some of you even forgot that your soul has to go back to God. One person was telling me that day, where is the soul, which has to go to God? How I can see I have a soul? Where it is? Soul is the self, soul is the conscious self. And the conscious has been granted to you, commotion was given to you as animal when you deal with your commotion you don't have anything to deal with the soul and soul has nothing to do with you. But when you always ask 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. where is the soul, you will be surprised the soul shall speak to you, here I am. It is the conscious living and the conscious living in concept.

Everybody who comes to America feels that there is a dollar, which grows on the tree in the street and if somebody can go at night and pluck those leaves early in the morning under his bed there will be bulk of dollars. You do not know basically in this country first of all there are no dollars and they don't grow on trees and secondly, it is very, very humiliating to make a buck in this country. There is so much stress and strain to make money in this country that you do not even understand it. Secondly, when you make money in this country they take away in California sixty-one percent right over the top you have been totally dodged and mislead that by tax shelters and by this shelters and by that shelter you can shelter yourself I can tell you they do not make you to have any shelter except what they have done is given you this folly that there is a shelter. And thirdly, this country is ruled by ten percent of its population. You have been given an understanding that you have the right to vote, you can change anything you want, they know it, big money knows that through television ads, through press, through this and that they can make fool of anybody.

Side B

Because they do deeply understand what you want. Now look what is going on. They are promising you jobs, I shall not rest till job comes to everyone, naturally everybody will have jobs, when there will be thirty million people dead. All poor will die, all sick will die, all needy will commit suicide, all mental people will become psychotic and kill themself, so there will be twenty million working for civil people who could be living will be dead and naturally job will be provided. That's what you want in four years? Sure, there is no dearth of it. This strategy is simple give a slogan and exploit when you hear a slogan just understand what 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. says about it. I am trying to realize today and I am asking you all about it that fifteen years we are born now we are adults, now we have to prove ourself. Some of you do not like discipline, I like you. Some of you are fanatic about discipline, I like you. And some of you do not like any discipline, you cannot take away from me my liking for you, because I work for your soul I do not work for you. You are totally wrong, my relationship with you is not for you. If you have an ego and you say I have ego and then you must understand I have an ego too. I have no relationship with your ego and your ego should have no relationship with me. That's a fact of life and that's a fact of life between you and me and it's a fact of life between you and any other person. Egos do not have relationship, one concept of ego is it does not relate to anybody except your own beast. Is that clearly understood?

Ego does not relate to 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. because it's the polarity, ego does not relate to your soul, because it does not want the mind to subject itself to the 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. , therefore, ego does not have any relationship except ego has relationship with your beast. And if you want to tell me that your beast gave twenty puppies last night I don't think I have any objection to it. And if you want to tell me that your beast have absolute wonderful scheme and dream I have seen more monstrous movies than you can even imagine. It doesn't interest me, I listen to you because I feel there is something in you beyond that.
