Here we are, there are some gifts this looks like funny stuff, watch. Siri Barosa you are on duty help.

Student: (----)

YB: Oh look at this work.

Student: (----)

YB: Huh? Oh my God who send this? Wow, healthy, happy, holy day, beloved master 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.

NamSat 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. 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. . It has two poems of mine, if somebody can read, can you read that? Go ahead on the mike. These are the first early poems you, those who are new should hear them. Can you read them?

Student: Yes.

YB: They are black and white.

(Student reads the poem)

YB: These poems are about twenty some years ago. This is the twenty-fifth day and it is little late than that, we will finish about 6:30, I gave my first lecture in Los Angeles and that's how we started. It was 5th of January, twenty-five years ago and there was nothing to it. What you are not understanding and this is the main problem, it's a problem of the religion, it is a problem of the man, it's a problem of life, it's a life problem, it's not mine and your problem.

When I came to Los Angeles I had thirty-five dollars in my pocket, I still have them exactly the same dollars, didn't spend a penny. I didn't know one person and the person I knew who received me and who knew me in India is a great man, freaked out, seeing my simple habits, that's all I can say and somehow here and there I contacted. There are few jokes of that day, which I can tell you. One of my friend told me that I should learn driving that was his main approach, "This is America, here you have to have a car and you have to learn driving."

I said, "I can drive a jeep over gorge, I have been driving, when I have to drive, I am driving at night, I have droven on the border which has no road, what do you mean by driving, I know driving."

He said, "No, no, no, no, I mean to say, real driving."

I said, "Well, what do you mean real driving?"

"I mean you should have a car and you should be in a position to drive."

I said, "No, I won't drive."

He said, "You won't go anywhere."

I said, "Go everywhere I won't drive I tell you simple and straight."

"Why?"

I said, "When I served government of India I had a car, a driver, a cleaner and I had everything. Now I am going to serve God and I am going to drive, that demotion I don't like, I am not going to drive."

"What you will do?"

I said, "I will walk. I will only be driven, I shall not drive."

"Why you hate driving?"

I said, "Well, you are driving, policeman can pull you over and ask your identification. I have been a such a senior officer, nobody dare to pull me over, I don't want to get into that problem."

He said, "They are third reason."

I said, "That I will show you."

So few days later, something happened and I left his house. He said, "Well, where are you going?"

I said, "I don't know, wherever I am going it's fine, don't worry about it."

So I was driving on the pathway on the side and he was in the car yelling and screaming virtually, "Get in the car, I'll at least put you on a bus stand."

I said, "I don't know the bus, I don't know the road, what is the use of this?"

"Where are you going?"

I said, "I don't know, I told you but I am going out, period."

So it was very complicate discussion between us. He said, "Are you going to come in my car or not?"

I said, "Well, my car might be on the way."

And in few seconds later a beautiful limo pulled in, the man yelled, "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. 'Bha-haan,' 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. 'Bha-haan,' I found you on the road."

I said, "Well, my vehicle has come, you want to come in my car?"

And I satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down and I went. He said, "Where are you going?"

I said, "Where I am going, I will call you in the evening and let you know, that's it."

So by evening about eight o'clock, we have a house and we have a old Cadillac being driven and we have lot of fruit in the refrigerator, so I can eat and the house had a big hall enough, that I could teach a class and I was so alien to America and I have never written a letter back home. So one day I taught a class and somebody left twenty dollars. So I went with twenty dollars to post office and I bought foreign letters and when I gave him twenty dollar I said, "Whatever this can buy give me."

He looked at me about five minutes, he said, "What's wrong?"

I said, "No, I need those letters."

So he gave me a big bundle stack of letters to write, only I wrote one out of them and they might be in the national archives somewhere sitting. Technically speaking what you don't understand about life is that you do not manage life, it's very ridiculous thing to say to you but you don't breathe. Your thirty trillion cells, ten trillion cell dancing, dancing into thirty trillion cell, change in seventy-two hours, you don't manage them, your blood go through your veins and artery, you have, do you do (?) router once a while, that's a angioplasty needed be, normally everyday you don't do a thing. Your life is eighty percent automatic. It's run by the unknown, ten percent is objective, where you participate right and ten percent is subjective you participate wrong. So ten percent cut down, ten percent, so eighty percent automatically goes on and that's a fact. Mostly you are blinded by your emotions because once you are emotional, you can't judge a situation, your assessment is wrong, you are not realistic.

Like a mother, if the child is crying, doesn't matter what other important thing she is doing, she is into the child. You understand what I mean? It doesn't matter what is happening and suppose a man in office is having a very important conversation doesn't matter what happened in the room even, he is into that conversation, exactly they call it 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 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. is nothing when you concentrate your idea of mind into creative thought of whatever kind it is and that is life. As far as I am concerned when I landed in Los Angeles, I had a pokedar, red, pink turban and a strapped pant and a shirt you will never believe and I tell you how much I knew.

One day I went to clean my shirt in the laundry and they told me if I put twenty-five cents and shirt and the thing that some kind of powder kind of thing into it and leave it there and pull it out and put in a drier and it will be clean, I thought it was easy. So I went there, and I put that machine was very kind to me, when machine stopped I had a big pulp in my hand, there was nothing I don't know what happened, either that powder was too much or the machine ate it up. So I, I came without shirt in my under shirt back and they said, "What happened?"

I said, "The machine cleaned it permanently my shirt."

(Students' laughter)

As far as food is concerned, we were always were provided somehow or the other and it used to be on time, now it is not, try to understand that. Now sometime I have to yell and scream, come on bring them hungry I need a food at that time, it was never a chance, it was on time. So certain little things started happening in a very unique way with all of you, all of you who have left who are with me or who shall be with me or who shall leave me, they were all very important to play a role in forming the 3HO.

A lifestyle of the Age of Aquarius, a lifestyle where human shall be nothing but purely human first and will do everything graciously around itself and that was my idea. My idea was actually what provoke me to come here was not actually America and American dollars to be very honest and not you and your environments, I was very well settled, there was nothing to it. What provoked me to come here was that I did not somehow wanted to go to Russia. It used to be a Soviet Union and it was a very beautiful plot in which I was going to be put in because the knowledge I have nobody has. So they wanted me to get to that. So I thought, it's better to run to Canada.

So I had good contacts, I knew the ambassador, he used to be called high commissioner and we managed and I resigned and very fast I left, I came to Canada and in Canada it didn't work out much because it was very cold. But in two months or some days I remained in Canada, I hit the front page of global mail which is a biggest paper. So, I walked on the snow with newspaper tied down my around my foot because I didn't have a shoe and my feet are very wide, nothing fits normally. That's why we built a factory, shoe factory. I mean to say, it's not that we have been not real cautious about things, less they may not happen.

I am very rich, I am very grateful and you are part of that richness, that's my real richness. But believe me, as I came with nothing, I shall leave with nothing and I own everything has nothing. It shall belong to the generations to follow and generations to come and I have just played the role as a custodian and a caretaker. I have taken a ownership with a great perfection and my basic idea is very simple, don't let down anybody, don't let down yourself and don't participate directly or indirectly in any let down, even in conversation. That is the practice I have and second is I do two things, I am very straight and simple and when I am diplomatic and it's unfortunate for the other person, I say it with a smile but when I am teacher, I am very, very rude, I can chisel a person to death because then it's my fight against the misfortune of the other person and I can see it to me, it is slaying the dragon and I don't hesitate to do it. So when I am very cruel, it's a very simple system.

There is no relationship between stone and a chisel and that's the relationship between student and a teacher and you may not understand as Western what a teacher is. Teacher has no investment in his own life and his environments and in his greatness, except a great student of tomorrow, you must understand that. Teacher greatness is not how great teacher is, teacher grace is not how vast he is, teacher greatness is not how happy and wealthy and how many people serve him and how many people adore him and how many people like him and how many people dislike him, how powerful he is, that all I am. That doesn't make any sense. The only sense which makes to a teacher is, will there be a teacher tomorrow, which will be ten times better than me, that is all what it matters and if that is not done, then the legacy of the golden chain breaks. In our legacy of KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

There is a BhaktiBhakti Self-purification, The devotional form of yoga practiced by a Bhakta. way and devotional way of doing it, you become zero the one God will be with you, you become ten times better. That's a BhaktiBhakti Self-purification, The devotional form of yoga practiced by a Bhakta. way. ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. way is, resurrect 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. through the system and participate personally with everything and decide everything impersonally, that's a another way, participate personally very personally but decide very impersonally because when you personally decide something you are the worst sinner and ugliest and dirtiest human being on the Earth because you took away somebody's personality which was given to that person by God and you have directed that personality for which you have no right.

Do you understand how many times we do this blunders that we interfere in peoples life, personally. When you have to let something go, let it go with grace, when something come, come to grace and there is a one simple thing in your life, you should understand, take it granted, you give anybody something or not you share with anybody something or not, you be kind to anybody or not but do not ever, do not let your grace fall apart and there is a simple formula for it.

Whenever you are doing anything just remember does it serve your grace or it doesn't. If it serve your grace, that's fine, if it serve somebody's grace, it is wonderful, if serves nothing, don't participate. You did not create anybody, God is creation of all and if you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all. Wrong and right is a matter of judgment, there is nothing good, nothing bad, thinking make it so and it is a stimulated thinking certain things we don't like, certain things we like, certain things are good, certain things are not good and certain things happens and there are majority of the things, majority of the things, which are beyond human conception and control.

Try to understand that. Because your life has to move, life is a momentum, it is a biorhythm and it has a fear of placement and displacement and until you are not above it, you cannot but suffer. Suffering doesn't come from any quarter, suffering is yours, God has given you length, His life is to create width equally with that length. If you cannot do it, there is no way that you can survive in your life happily. That's why we started, healthy, happy, holy way of life and that is folks became 3HO. It is a dream come true, it was a very pure path, in which there was no human worship but every human was worshipped equally. There was no teacher, everybody was to be a potential teacher. There was no yes and no, but there was a set discipline to follow.

Sometime you may understand why our discipline is so strict? I am very sorry to tell you, it's a very simple gimmick, which you should know very clearly. Life is a X-amount of energy and if it is not channeled properly you will never cross the channel and when you are making life left and right and it becomes exhausting, then lot of things are very difficult to understand.

Majority of the people are very numb. They have no feelings, they are so numb what they hear, they don't hear, what they see, they don't see, what they feel, they don't feel, they are like volcanoes, their inner emotions are broiling them and that's all they know, am I insulted, am I not insulted, am I respected, am I not respected, I am liked, I am not liked, I am real, I am not real, somebody loves me, nobody loves me, am I lonely, anybody, it is such a fluke that all the beauty and joy of life which is meant to be enjoyed is wasted in this wasteful thoughts. Why? Because these people are very, very far away from God. They do not understand a simple rule of the thumb that this planet belongs to God and everything on this planet belongs to God including their existence. So whatever happens good or bad is all God's will.

Now what about your freewill, just look and enjoy. That's all, that's all you have, you don't have more than that. See somebody's loss is somebody's gain, somebody's success is somebody's failure, somebody's marriage is somebody's divorce or potential non-availability, look at it. Your children will grow up one day, if you train them well, give them good wings, they will fly better, if you don't, they will fall apart. So is your work, so your future, so your existence. In my capacity as a individual, I believe not in the goodness of the heart and goodness of the person, it doesn't fit with me, I believe with the greatness and the excellence of the human.

I don't see a human acting from normal spiritual belief, we are the sinner born in sin and we have to do our 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 we have to do this and we have to do, well really as a religious man I agree, that is what the religion teaches and I salute those who teach this but I have no part of this nonsense, absolutely not, zero. My belief is very simple, God has created me and He damn couldn't do anything better than what I am, period. Call it anything and that's exactly what it is.

If the perfect Almighty God could have done something better, he would have done definitely. Why not? Is he limited? If somebody is nuts, let us put it this way, somebody is nuts, somebody is neurotic, somebody is short-tempered, somebody is wrong and let us say, there is a bunch of them. You know hallelujah, you look wise, if you are not part of that. Life is a comparative study, there is no reality in it. Life is a comparative study, if you have a caliber and you have a intuition and you have a caliber and intuition and that give you grit, stamina, you can make it anywhere. If you don't have a intuition, you don't see anything, you are blind, permanently blind and if you have not, no caliber developed, then you cannot expand, you cannot even recognize what you are dealing with that and then you don't have a stamina to fulfill it, then all those two things are useless, then you are a duck and all three is what human is meant for and give all three is KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.

Open up the chakras, take care of 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. and control the gunasGunas The three qualities or threads that make up the fundamental forces in nature and the mind. Their interactions give motion to the world, stir the larger Greater Mind, and make up the realm of our experience. They are considered inseparable and occur in unlimited combinations. They are abstract; you can only see their effects. They are the sattva guna for clarity and purity; the rajasic guna for action and transformation, and the tamasic guna for heaviness, solidity, and ignorance. , call it anyway you like it, it's not big deal. To be healthy, happy and holy does not make more work than to be unhealthy, unhappy and unholy. What is holy? You have nine holes control them. See what goes in and out. You are holy. You have two eyes, see with the third eye, see between the two eye, the center point of everything, that's the third eye. Look, what you should be looking, not what you are looking at. Is that understood? Look what you should be looking, not what you are looking at. Be what you should be, not what you are.

Every moment of life, you should be what you ought to be, ought to be, ought to be, ought to be, there is no other way. If you are swing and sway you shall be miserable, it shall not make any sense. Majority of the actions you do, many of the things you do, they do not do anything, you don't understand one thing, all you will satisfy your emotions, that's all and all this lifestyle and lifetime you will spend on satisfying your emotion will be enough to kill you, everybody has to die folks but some shall die fulfilled and many without it, that is the tragedy being human, die you must not as rich. But rich is good, not as great, if you are great, that's good. Die fulfilled. When you die fulfilled, you shall be grateful, being you. So far through all these age, time and reality, we have not learned one thing and that's very simple thing. I be I and I can confirm that I am I.

You believe that human have three sides to it, one is the elementary side, other is the working side, third is the fantasy but people are not original, you won't meet one person, who is realistically or religiously original, everybody has shields and Gods. So who is talking to who and which side of the person you are talking and which side of the person you are loving and what you are trying to convince and what you are trying to say and what relationship is based on. As a psychologist, sometime I counsel people and analyze lot. I have found out every relationship is based on one thing that is individuals emotional security. There is no thing called love. When there is a love, there is no question, where there is a question, there is no love and now people are talking unconditional love, I don't know what unconditional but what is conditional to begin with, love conditional does not exist.

Somebody once said, "I have met a beautiful woman."

He said, "Describe, describe, how is she?"

"Oh she has sixteen legs and twenty-eight hands and nineteen heads."

He said, "You must have seen a demon, it can't be a woman." You know what I mean? Conditional love is evil, condition love is ugly, condition loves is a messenger of death. Those who love each other conditionally are killers. They are not human. Animals are better than you as humans because they have a impulsive love and impulsive love can be understood, conditional love cannot be because love is God, love is Infinity and how can you define the Infinity, that's the problem. And actually to be very honest the idea being a human, idea being a human is to find ones own Infinity. Idea in a human is not to find survival, bird survive, fish survive, tree survive, stars survive, what you want to know what survive?

Everything survives, what is not to survive is not going to survive, whatever you may do. All this is meant to be time and service, that's real. It's called law of change. You have to take a bath because the molecules have changed, you have to clean yourself, you have to feed because body needs the energy, you have to exercise, you have to walk, you have to sit down, you have to lecture, you have to do duty, you have to go to work and all this is just to keep you busy. Because human mind is so humongous, so powerful, if it has no continuous work pattern, it will go crazy, it will go loose. So that's why they say, work is worship, work if you in the lane, it will keep you in the trend, it will keep you in the trace, it will keep you going through everything. So everything is a work but those who worship work are exalted and this is called Karam Yoga. Those who do work impersonally that's called Dharam Yoga.

You know when I came in United States, it was not written on my billboard, I am 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. and if you would have see me by appearance and existence, you could never believe that this man is a good man. Forget about being God's man. For years and years I was in a state of shock. I am a father of the Woodstock Nation and the tribes and the clans and the evolution of sixty. I went through the hell and heaven of it. Twenty million American revolted in 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. . Twenty million Americans revolted in 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. . One million survived out of which is one is 3HO. Do you understand? How much sacrifice has been given to create this what we have today?

I have seen beautiful youthful teenager girls dead on the trails because of the cold and when identified, they belong to the families which has mansions. Well, they were out in the cold. I have seen people going to the mall and eating the garbage, when they can go in a house and have a silver arrangement done to eat, what happened to America.

America wanted a change and the conscious slavery, America 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. was slave, America wanted conscious freedom, that's why came all this hallucinogenic drugs and all that stuff, not that Americans wanted it. That's not true. Americans wanted something to break through that norm, American wanted to do something, which is not regular, American wanted not to wear ties, they didn't want to wear three piece suit. No American understood their external values are so powerful that there is nothing internal which means anything so they wanted something internal, so they went extreme the other side. In that extremity of duality and crossroad fire and tragedy in America somehow I appeared and I started saying, there is a normal harmonious natural way of doing it, this is not right, nor that is right, nor this is right, let us take the middle road and exalt ourself.

Excellence is the human right and that is how folks we built a foundation called 3HO foundation, healthy, happy, holy organization of people and the first song I sang, 'we are the people, people of love, let us people love today' and we made the lyrics and when I used to drive in lonely snow of Canada I used to sing this, 'one day the day shall come and all the glory shall be thine.' I knew that there shall be a great glory because I knew it was the will of God and I knew I have only to serve it.

So I am very grateful to you today to participate with me left and right, I know majority of the people are angry with me and they couldn't continue with me but also you know they played their role, they played their part, they try to manipulate, they couldn't, you know it's very difficult, I am very boring because I am missionary, missionaries are very boring, they are very fast to their own objectivity, they do not fall apart left and right. Every human has a mind, so long you have a mind, you have a mission and mission has to be motivated by your attitude and manner because every mission has a great magnitude and it's a very important to you, to me there is only one important thing.

Let me tell you in one line, my basic belief is, God made me, He couldn't do better than this and birth, happiness is my birthright and this cannot be taken away. So technologically and knowledgely if you understand this few little things, you can be contained, content and continuous and not be competing, comparing and confused and 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. . These few little things, be straight, simple and do with a smile if you cannot do it effectively, I am very effective, I am very, very personal when I have to. Normally, I smile, I use logic, I use reason, I tell people what to do, I request, sometime I order, sometime I yell, sometime I scream I use all human tactics.

The basic idea is to work it out because you know when a person falls, teacher falls with it, teacher has no other fault, it's the fault of the student, which is the evidence of the teacher, it's called impotence or non-effectiveness. Person has traveled the distance to come and meet the teacher. Now this you will see, this is how it is. This is the law of KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. . When soul got the body, God promised, 'you shall meet your teacher for a moment.' That's the promise which God has to fulfill, He never said that you will stick with him or her whatever the case is, He never said that person will continue teaching you, that was not the thing said. You shall meet for a moment your teacher. So distance is there, destiny is there, you should travel the distance, you meet the teacher, you recognize or you not, that's your choice, you miss it. If you recognize then comes two things, you work it out or you didn't work it out, that's your choice. You accept or you deny, that's your choice, you obey or you disobey, that's your choice because law of 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. is obey, serve, love and excel.

Now, there are lot of unfortunate things about things, some teacher take away the money, some teacher take away lot of things from people and students have lot of complaints but neither there is a student nor there is a teacher, that's a law of destiny. Teacher doesn't become teacher, teacher is destined to be a teacher and student doesn't become student, student is destined to be a student and whosoever is destined to be a student, shall become great master. That is the only law which God cannot change. That's the only law which shall prevail beyond the existence of Almighty. That is the only law through which there is a human history recorded where God came and served the man and man became greater than God. God commands all the time, it's Almighty but there are incident, that great God was commanded by man and God obeyed, there are great, great incidents and examples, where man changed the written law of God and there is a saying in the scripture, knot given by the man of God cannot be untied by God, knot given by God can be untied by man of God.

'Ram Khe Bandhe BhagatBhagat A devotee of God. Chudahey BhagatBhagat A devotee of God. Khe Bandhe Kohey Nahey.'

If a man of God puts a knot on something it cannot be opened by anybody. Why? Because that one lonely God wants to prevail through all and somewhere to prove to Himself, He takes a body and that's called incarnation. It's a privilege to be divine and let duality go once a while. You must understand there is not a one person I have met in my life and you must have to understand the same who wants to be bad. Nobody wants to be bad but there are people bad, everybody wants to be super good but they are not people good, what is the problem? Caliber. People try to be good and try to be great but they forget to develop caliber. The old sages developed the science of KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

So human can walk tall against calamities.

So folks just remember twenty-five years ago I came, I even didn't know what Los Angeles is and where it is, from Canada I landed in Chicago and from Chicago I was put in a plane and landed in the airport, Los Angeles and I was picked up by a friend and that's all how it began. There was no great intention to become a great 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. , there was no great intention to teach great 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. but there was one thing which was very urgent. You come from Judeo-Christian background. According to the Indian SwamisSwami Master. you are untouchables, you don't know this.

(Students' laughter)

Yeah, you are sudras, you are untouchable, you are lowest of the lowest of the lowest. You may think you are the great and all that, forget it but to them you are just nothing. So I used to work in customs and in those beautiful nights and during the days, I used to find you guys coming all Western with full of money and then being there for months and months and going back to America, Europe everywhere, penniless and you learned nothing. I saw that for year after year, day after day, week after week, month after month. I said, "What these crazy people are, I mean this they just come, they bring thousands of dollars, they earn nothing, they go back, they are not even visitors, they are not even tourist, how crazy these people are, there must be some need." So when a opportunity arose I said, well, one day I will go to the West and I will create teachers who will come and teach the Indians and God grace today we are here and dream is not a dream anymore, it is true.

A ordinary American student can teach any Indian great swamiSwami Master. and 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. and a saint and a sage, the science of KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. to the extent that it can give an experience and that's real. I definitely happily feel and healthily I am in environments and holy I feel that, that dream which I had come through. If all the knowledge which is recorded in twenty-five years, anybody can pick it, that can be a man of a super acknowledgement, excellent which cannot and shall not be challengeable by anybody. Because I brought knowledge and I left it there for you. With a practical experience we call it classes. There is no idea, you must understand, we don't initiate anybody, we don't welcome anybody because we don't reject anybody, we don't personally, emotionally involve people because we do not reject them later. People come, they work it out, sometime they don't have a caliber and they flip-flop or they go, or they come, or they stay, or they take a part, or they take a whole, it's a very funny world. But the caravan of knowledge continues.

(Students' laughter)

It's very good, these things are very natural. You know there are lot of things here, it's not only this. So share with me, the most beautiful journey which I have gone through odds and evens of life in last twenty-five years. I am very grateful to Los Angeles that I started in Hollywood. Do you know that there was a movie called 'Wing cannot read it,' by author Rank and do you know I was supposed to be the main actor of that movie and do you know on the completion of the inauguration of the movie I was supposed to come in a Hollywood, exactly ten years later I came and I wrote a letter to my wife saying, 'do you understand what arrangements they ask me to have, when I will come here and figure it out if that exist the same where I am.'

So I was just ten years late. Do you understand that? After all acting is a acting, there is no difference, I would have acting as a actor in that movie and I would have come as a acting as a acting YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. , you know same thing and I could have been flying in the airlines going here and there for jobs and I was flying here there to teach, things don't change, change much it's the same thing. But you know the connection and disconnection is not based on your will, it is based on the electromagnetic frequency of the soul to which the commanding center is in your Shashara, it is the pineal.

Your life is controlled by the attraction and the radiation of the pineal and your strength is commanded by the pituitary and your expansion and contraction is based on your throat chakraChakra , Chaakra The word connotes a wheel in action. It usually refers to the seven primary energy centers in the aura that align along the spine from its base to the top of the skull. Each chakra is a center of consciousness with a set of values, concerns, and powers of action associated with it. and your great happiness is based on the warmth of your heart and your grit and endurance is in your navel pointNavel Point The sensitive area of the body near the umbilicus that accumulates and stores life force. It is the reserve energy from this area that initiates the flow of the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. If the navel area is strong, your vital force and health are also strong. and your reproductivity and recreativity and all prevailing is in your creative organ and your life elimination unwanted stuff, which has to go through the black hole is in your anus. If you would have understood that simple science, you could have been the best human beings and you are the best but it runs automatically, you do not pay attention to all this. If you just pay attention to yourself only, you will find God within you. There is no such thing God outside you and there is nothing outside you.

Let me complete it with one sentence, 'in the beginning is you, in the middle is you and in the end is you,' it cannot change. You can be cheated or conned into certain believes, you can be netted in a love and story of that, you can, you know lot of things can happen. Dating, bating, rating are three things I learned in Hollywood but everything has a pit in it. So, everybody cares for rating and I met those people who they, even the President of United States, his rating has gone down, his rating has gone up, I said, what is this barometer there. Because God is three letters, G O D, generate, organize and deliver, but you will not deliver will destroy you and that is rating.

Dating every day has a date. Be kind to others, God shall be kind to you. Bating, be compassionate. All the angels shall serve you and if your date is, bating is, bait is ugly, you have a hook in it, all the evils will come on you. Just make it very simple, because life is nothing but going through polarity, life is nothing but going through polarity, if you go through polarity with duality, you will have so much pain that you will go insane. True, believe me, I know it. You can't change duality, everything has two sides, every coin has two sides to it, it cannot be one side. There is one God and there is a equal MayaMaya The creative power of the Creator that restricts and limits. It creates the sense of limitation that leads us to identify with experience, the ego, and things. Because of this it is often thought of as the illusion that blocks us from the spirit. But, as Guru Nanak (see Sikh Gurus) reminds us, you need not be attached to the productions of maya. Instead they can be used to serve and express the higher consciousness and spirit. Maya is simply Karta Purkh, the doing of the Great Being. Maya takes the ineffable into the realm of the measurable. . (?) you know how impotent God is, God cannot create another God. Do you know that? Therefore, law of duality is that there is a law of polarity, law of polarity is there is a duality, they are interlocked cannot change and everyday you date because every day has a date. Have you dated your days date. Have you thought that way? No. I asked somebody, "I am going on a date."

I said, "Be careful of the pit, because every date has a pit and pit is so hard in a date, it can break your tooth." People don't understand what they walk into. If you just make one knowledgeable personal decision, which is yours, not mine, that you shall not walk into any environment or any action, which does not enhance your grace, you will never be disgraced, doesn't matter what the world does to you. That's the law of unison.

Kindness, compassion and caring are the three laws of Sikh Sikh Dharma A living experience of values as taught in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. DharmaSikh Dharma A living experience of values as taught in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Dharma 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 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. . Be kind, be compassionate and be caring and don't do this drama to exploit.

'Kaal Khaaye Kujathuday, Nanak Sach Pehchaaney Sey.'

Work through the hard labor and then share, don't take away everybody share and feel good, 'oh I conned him' that doesn't work. One who does not know how to earn ones own living does not know living. There are certain set principles for which you need 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 intuition and your talent and now we are going to...

Side B

... For few minutes and your talents and now we are going to try for few minutes, how good we are at that, not much we will take only nine minutes, three minutes, three minutes exact three minutes, are you ready? After twenty-five years we will teach the class exactly as we started in the early sixties. Be with me. Ready, it's a very simple KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. , let us see how we do it. Accurate, please sit with a straight spine, lock your fingers, index fingers and put it right there and please take this finger and put it back there, remember this exercise? And the lining must be exactly sixty degree that is the ray of the sun. You don't have to do anything. Let there be no bent in the elbow, that's one condition. Stretch straight and sit properly in this posture please and close your eyes and roll them deep down. Hey, hold on.

Who else is talking too much? I think everybody is talking these days in Los Angeles. All right folks, close your eyes and roll them and fix them on your moon center, the chin. You have nothing to do, this is your birth breath, this will change the entire nuclear system and will energize the neurons. Index finger the Jupiter should be straight but arm should be sixty degree back and front in absolute exact condition. Eyes must be rolled as you are totally fixed at your chin, the moon center and sit straight and let the body go through the changes. I am just repeating the first workshop. There were only three students in that workshop, almost time is correct. Elbow should be stretched, that's the one principle because there are meridian points in the elbows, which joins all the energy points back and forth. So if you keep your spine straight and stretch it hard, chin in, chest out, you will have the enjoyment, eyes rolled down and brought to concentrate on the moon center that is called chin.

Human equivalent of moon center is chin. Stretch harder. Because Gyan, knowledge is Jupiter, that's the first center to work it out. Somehow stand which can happen your back hand and the front hand does not make a straight line, that shall be wrong, otherwise, there is nothing wrong and it's a simplest exercise. They both have to be in the same line, sixty degree angle. Nirmal the back hand is too low, good girl, yeah, now see. See girl the difference.

Hah, now the second part of it is please release your pinky and make it straight too and stretch, keep the posture. Majority of you will have that the back hands little lower in angle and that is a hurdle but if you put it in a straight line and keep it that way, you will be healthy, like a oxen they say. It will give you health, it will change your molecular system, it's a very simple thing.

What you are doing it looks very simple but reality is you are bringing the Earth and the Heaven together in one unisonness with you. I am pretty fast, I am not even giving you longtime. Because I know in this though it's the best exercise in the world, people always falter in making their both arm straight, that's the only fault in this. Once that can be conquered by a human, you don't need a thing. Well, now just open up your five finger straight up and five finger straight down and do it, eyes rolled at the moon center chin and body must be squeezed to the best. Breathe normally or long or short, whatever you have to do but keep the body like totally squeezed, totally squeezed from toe to top, every part of it.

Come on, come on kill the disease in the body basically. This KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. as they say in forty days can change the molecule structure. Stretch and squeeze. Put your whole, you know, you want light, apply life, invest life. You are not going to get life without putting light into it. There is no such thing, nothing is free. Breathe and squeeze and stretch back, three things you have to do. You have one more minute to go though and this is a best minute of your life. One honest minute, one honest minute. Forty-five seconds. Stretch, squeeze. Thirty seconds. Fifteen seconds. Try for God sake, just for experience not to do anything else. Standby inhale deep, hold tight, keep doing what you are doing, let the breath go, inhale deep, hold tight. Let the breath go, now this is a final chance you have done wrong throughout.

Inhale deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, squeeze and stretch to the absolute limit of yours. Relax. Watch is my witness, it will take one minute over. If your this back hand and this front can be exactly as mine is for three minutes and total is nine minutes, only change is in fingers, you can change the molecular structure of your body, that much effective you can be. It is also called longevity KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. for long life, some of us like us, we don't want to live long.

(Students' laughter)

But those who want to live long and go to the hell and heaven of it, they can do it. Nine minutes you sit down in absolute posture and do it, first do it with the index finger, then release the Mercury finger, then release all the fingers and go ahead. Last three breath you have to hold to expand 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. and game is over. Do it for forty days, you will never regret it.

Student: (----)

YB: Yeah, absolutely straight, straight is straight, no, no, not up, yeah straight. It is a straight, it is just straight sixty degree, because the sun hits the Earth in the ambrosial hour sixty degree and at evening the twilight zone, sun is sixty degree to Earth and moment a human form this, then sun and moon are in lining, provided the eyes are rolled at the moon center, that's the trick. A simple science, it's not something that you have to learn from somewhere and know it from somewhere else and this is sometime when you practice it, I have seen in my own experience that somebody was to live about ten years, the guy is still alive.

It gives you new life, whenever you do it and please for God sake, don't do it more than nine minutes. Yeah that's the time limit, I mean it's not something, let us not repeat the sixty, we used to use KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity.

(Students' laughter)

Remember those days and those were the days, in Boulder universities. Boulder, Colorado, we started KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.

He opened this long secret tradition to all. and I left thinking that class is over, then another teacher took over and other teacher took over and when I came back in the evening, class was still on. Well fine and I said, "Disperse, this is, what you are doing?" And there was no dearth of gathering people, you know this, there I will stand somewhere, there were people. So I just stopped this, it's no good, too much we have done. Then, one day that university man came and he said, "These people are not moving."

I said, "They are in ecstasy."

He said, "What is that?"

I said, it will take time to come down. So then we gathered other clans and other friends and whatever you want to call them and lifted lot of them, to safe places. I mean that is how powerful a man can be and once you have a experience of that width, you can enjoy what the word called in English ecstasy.

A fundamental property of the soul and true self; it is Kundalini as it folds and unfolds itself in existence. because it will give you the experience of ecstasy within you, not outside. It's not that I have not learned and lot of things, I know pretty good things. Smart guy but the...

(Students' laughter)

I am very smart believe me, there is nothing wrong to be smart but art to smart is, to know the experience, not the knowledge, that's the difference. You must know the experience through the knowledge, not the knowledge. If you have just knowledge, you are just a library bookish, you don't make sense. You understand what I mean? Experience will give you power, it will give you grit, it will give you confidence, it will give you to be you.

Somebody once I was counseling and, and a person said, "I have a very private question."

I said, "What is it?"

I said, "This person I am in love with, but I hate, I hate, I hate," four five times he said, "I hate, I hate, I hate."

I said, "Why didn't you say so?"

He said, "Because I am in love."

I said, "Man, this is the best thing every could happen. With all the hatred you are enjoying love, see how good it is."

He said, "I thought so but I thought so."

(Students' laughter)

"I think (?) hah, yeah."

I said, "Unity is a self-esteem, self-control, you know what it is? How much you hate," "and I hate it, I hate", "(?) but you are not saying it. See how wonderful control it is." Life is a agony, when you don't have a control, life is a full of joy, when you control agony. Life is when you insult somebody it's a hell, when you respect somebody it's a heaven. Life is a good thing because life is a gift. Don't (?) with it. May the longtime...

(Students singing, 'May the longtime sunshine upon you...')

May the hahaha, let us go back, see (?).

It's impossible, next to seven years he took her what, I had never seen a person, who can dig in so hard, doesn't matter what, I mean you can get PhD from anywhere but you stuck and as far as Bibiji is concerned there is not a one course in anything in the entire field of psychology which she did not study and I said, 'what are you doing this for?

We when I used to go to a parking lot if I see a most beaten car, I always used to think there is a 3HO member there.

(Students' laughter)

Now I go to a parking lot and I saw a new Mercedes, I think somebody is around here, that's the difference is, it's a difference of people, of will and endurance who captured the time and space, most innocently through their power. I cannot misunderstand myself when Dr. Wahe Wahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. GuruWahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. Guru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. Singh used to go for a chiropractics doctor and also used to work in a restaurant to wash dishes and we all worked and we worked really good. Just so that we can be honest. And the most beautiful thing in our character is, we did not compromise we conquer the time, time couldn't conquer us. That shall be the legacy of the 3HO. A bunch of young people, Americans who had the will to conquer the time and made a space for them in the history and time could not conquer them and this is not a small thing.

This 3HO which you have seen very little and around shall be the most real legacy of this planet for the Age of Aquarius. Sooner or later, there shall be humongous amount of happiness to the people and emptiness always bring void, void brings unhappiness and people will like to find a place, where they can be healthy, happy and holy, it's all fits in. There is no two things about. Who could dream that after twenty-five years we will be what we are today, with all the hell and heavens and the fury of the devil we have gone through we have survived this.

A very unique pride, it's amazing. With what pride, we have walked tall in the face of the entire universe and today you go anywhere, we will find this a living legacy, which is not only predictable then, it is predictable even now. That in the coming, one hundred not but the coming two thousand years of the Age of Aquarius, the mankind shall not find shelter, other than the 3HO way of life and you handful people here shall be considered as the most divine than you consider to be now. Isn't amazing?

This small little thing which started, to give people the way of life, with love and dedication it shall prevail in the coming change of the age and that is a set up, set up and every energy is poured into to built the foundation. To me is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience. With that wonder, we shall continue, many will come, many will go, many will join, many will excel, many will fall, it is just like a fruit on the tree. But there shall be the teachers.

(Students' laughter)

There shall be the teachers in United States, who shall with great pride and Europe and I mean in the world but it will start from the West, to give the world the teachers, so Americans have not to take the bundle of money back to India to learn but they will take themself to India to bring those bundle back to America, which we have paid there. So we will reverse the time and space, it's all the excellence, God has given us to command. Thank you very much for this night and wonderful, (?) cake.
