… of denial, they have been tested in the hands of the Mother Nature and they have always failed. And they have suffered. There is a five thousand years record in the civilization the people who have practiced yoga fulfilment they have lived happily and they have made others to live happily. This runaway-ism, ‘we don’t wear clothes, put a loincloth only, get into a jungle, put a little shed, and eat when it comes to you,’ these are type of tortures. We call it yoga of torture. This yoga of torture is such a weird process, it makes a beautiful man a dead man. Look at those freaks and their wrinkled faces. They smeared their body and you talk to them. And I have a unique way. If you find somebody who believes that, call me. And I’ll tell you how much eager he is to have what he doesn’t have. This upfront they put very good.
I met somebody in India. He had a tiger skin and we asked him, “You look very saintly,” you know I buttered him up. That is the first process, you butter them up, otherwise they become conscious they are renunciate and if you do not properly butter up the renunciate, he is not going to be caught in by you. I tell you what is their weakness is. First you butter them up, tell them how great he looks and how great he is. And moment he starts saying yes, he is a idiot. That is the weakest moment of his life. Because nobody is great except God. There is only one Creator who is great, right. And when a man is told he is great and he started accepting yes, yes, yes, then puppet is hang up on his ego. Then he is weak enough and then you praise him too much, that is a second trip and third is, insult him and see how angry he becomes and then he jump on you like a panther. And then you laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha.

I always do it. It is not, it is such, I am such a perfect actor in that, I have tested many people whom millions of people bow, millions. They bow and I have freaked them out. I think God wants me to do that. It is not.
(Students laugh)
(?) otherwise I don’t want to do it, it is none of my trip, I don’t enjoy it but when somebody tells me that he represents God, I don’t agree. I don’t agree because I play with God everyday and I know what kind of guy God is. God does not belong to anybody who does not know humility, universal consciousnessConsciousness

and giving in sacrifice. If three things you do not have, you do not know ABC of God, period. You are talking man, baby, you are just telling a white lie and we are supposed to hear that but you do not know anything what God is. God is a compassion, God is a sacrifice, God is a selflessness. That is what God is. God is not going to love you if you do not love what God has created.
How we relate to God? We relate to God through creation. And if you are not going to love creation, what type of lover you are? If there is a woman she is your beloved, she dresses herself up, she wears necklace and you know, ABC I even do not know how to count all that stuff. You have eyes and painting and all that stuff. Okay, and you tell her, ‘hi, your eye paint is no good, your hairstyle is nonsense, your blouse is pretty shabby, look what skirt you are wearing, you look like a bitch,’ that’s it and you find the brush in her hair coming right at your nose and I don’t think she will let you say a word more than that. That is what these people do. Their word is bad, cities are bad, people are bad, and we are going to live in a tepee on the top of the mountain on a pole and they are going to find God there. If you are going to find God sitting on a pole, I know what you are going to find but I don’t want to say in this class anyway.

Oh man, they do not know what God is. The trouble is one who does not know what yogurt is he is telling everybody it is white, it is sweet, it is perfect and damn fool ask him what is the yogurt look like, he says, “It is hard like a stone,” you can well understand what type of yogurt he is going to make you eat.

You have to learn basically first thing, you have to learn basically to relate to people and to respect them in that relationship, whether they respect you or not is not your job. That is the first quality and requirement of the teacher. He must relate to people and he must respect them in that relationship. If a prostitute will come to me and she will tell her all stories I will listen and I will respect her. For what? For confining(confiding) in me. You must learn to respect another individual who confines(confides) in you and you must learn to carry that confidence up to your grave. If you fail in that, your whole life will be a failure. Write down somewhere, tomorrow you may not blame me for this. That confidence which is given to you as a man of God wisdom, that you must keep up to your death. And if you fool around with that confidence, this nature will take away, suck away all periods of happiness out of your life, you will become miserable and torturous person. That is the law.
Second law is, you must inspire people to God consciousnessConsciousness

and don’t lay your ego because a teacher doesn’t discuss things. He listens and he speaks or shares the truth which he knows. One who learns to rap never becomes a teacher. Rapping or laying your rap or trip is not the quality of teacher at all. One who does this is not a teacher, he is a nut. How can you discuss with somebody, somebody puts a problem before you or a question you and you start saying ‘Ke-ke-ke-ke,’ like a duck, what kind of man you are? You listen and whatever he tells you, you listen. And then either you say ‘I don’t think it is possible,’ and you walk out, you have done your job. Somebody tells you it is very dirty, very bad, very miserable and he paints a picture in three hours. On the end of three hours you say, ‘God creates everything beautiful, try to see the beauty in it,’ and you walk out. You know what effect that will have? And you say, “No, it is not dirty, it is not bad, you try to do this, you try to do that, en-en-en-en-en,” he said, “Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye,” this is duck like, ke-ke-ke-ke-ke-ke; neither you know anything, nor he knows anything. And you both end up in a mess.

we call them pits. Pit, pit, p-i-t pit, you know what pit is? You go down into it right and all teachings means one path. There are no different path. This movement, this grassroot movement I call it, this marijuana brand, they always say, every path is every path. It’s a white lie, there is no such every path is every path. It’s a ridiculous situation. There is a one path and there is a one truth and there is one God. And it is just going on a mountain, it has got many sides. Sometime you are on the west, sun is on the west. You see bright sun but people who are on the east they are dying in the cold, they say, “Well, oh it’s a dark, it is cold here.” It is just like a mountain on which man travels, levitates, goes higher and higher and higher but when he reaches the top the tip of that top where you want to go and do your SadhanaSadhana

How many of you have played that game snake and ladder? You have played? Have you played that game snake and ladder?
Student: What is it?
YB: Now, look at that. It is a very ordinary game, it is like a square board, it has hundred numbers and it has ladders and snakes and you have one thing to throw and as many they come you walk one, two, three and you find a letter, it goes to eighty number, you go and sit on eighty number. You get another five, one, two, three, four, five and there is a snakehead, it bites you, it brings you back to number one. So that game, you must buy that game. You are not going to die for a dollar. It cost about a dollar. BhaiBhai

, that is a game which I play and that is a game which has made me really strong. That game raises my KundaliniKundalini

more than anything else.
(Students laugh)
Because, I see in that game that you get a ladder and you get a snake and it is all baby game. So there is no problem and the chance, that chance, that is not in your hand. You throw twenty time shake it at one time and it may get only one or it may get six, who knows what he is going to get. None of you can know what is going to get and if you get four you have a ladder which take you to ninety-nine and if you get one, there is a snake which will take you number one. So you are stuck and one day I got stuck, I got a letter which took me to number ninety-nine and everybody played they all won it and I was sticking at ninety-nine, I was not getting that one out of that chance. I was throwing it and throwing it, I was getting six, five, all I needed was one, it will never come.
So, that is the wheel of life. Cycle of life. In the cycle of life there are pits. Once you fall in that pit, doesn’t matter where you are in your consciousnessConsciousness

, don’t misunderstand me, understand it very clearly. Doesn’t matter where you are, the life becomes darker for you as far as your spiritual path is concerned, you are done with it, period. At that moment you meet your beloved, your lover, you are more precious than God, that is your teacher. At that moment.
Teacher is not meant for everyday game. Everyday game you play. Teacher is only meant for that one moment when you fall in the pit and you say, ‘Hi, I am going,’ he says, “No I am there, here is the rope, catch it, come up and do it.” If you have real love for your teacher, then you will listen to him and you will follow him what he says or you will follow what you say. And the law of spiritualism is, once at that moment you follow what you say, God will never follow you. You try two thousand hundred semesters, whatever you want to do, you are done with it. Because you have lost that chance which comes once in the whole lifetime. And you watch my word, you be a student, study it.
Those people who walk on the path of teaching, when they fall, they know no end, they fall forever. Nothing can redeem them. Nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Because they have disconnected themself with that sound current which was their enlightenment. It is known as detour and the punishment is darkness. That man may do all SadhanaSadhana

You, some people argue, they say, “Well, but you can leave one teacher, you can study with another.” There is a argument always. You can leave one teacher and you can study with other. It never works. You betray one, you betray everyone.

And, Lenna said, “Holy sir, am I to start eating from the head or from the feet?”
He said, “You have not to eat it. Now it’s okay, come.”
He brought him back, bowed before him, put a Nariyal, put, few little money and blessed him. And after three, four days he went away.
Question is, if teacher does not harass you then time harasses you. There are two teacher; one is automatic and one is personal. In America, the concept of a teacher is, a skinny guy who eats, who eats a one bowl of rice in twenty-four hours, speaks nothing, you can do your number and whenever you go to him, he loves you. I will call a living insanity, that’s not a teacher is. Actually teacher knows every nonsense which you are doing but unfortunately he loves you, he doesn’t want to degrade you, he doesn’t want make you feel bad, he hopes that by your love you may turn on right one day but sometime when he feels it is too much he punches you. When even that doesn’t work then he disconnects you out of his prayer. And the negativity eats you up, you fall apart. You can’t stick around. When out of his beads he does not roll on your bead you are gone, you can’t survive. That’s the law. He has to roll his pranaPraana

I got tested also, very badly. On eighteenth we were to leave India. On seventeenth night I was told I have no way to leave India alive. I cannot. I asked why. They said everything has been done to fix me up. There is only one way and the one way is if I give a written declaration that ‘I surrender to this man and accept him as my God,’ I said, “I will never do it.”
And they told me pointblank, neither the police can help me, nor my friendship right from the prime minister down can help me, nothing can help me, I’ll be struck. I said, “Doesn’t matter, we’ll see it.”

I was just chanting and then I saw this whole thing happening and I heard myself saying, “Why you are burning your head like a candle?”
He said, “Walk in this light and follow me to take you across.”
I got up and I shared this thing with my wife. I asked her, “I have seen this.”
She said, “When you see such a scene it mean death is sure for you. And it means enemy will win.”
I said, “How come he will win?”
She said, “You saw the tenth master who is not in body, you saw him burning his head like a candle and he wants you to come along with him to take you through, it means the other side.” So she said, “There is a another alternative, why don’t you just, you know, agree little bit and get away with your all people and reach one safely and it is not very hard.”
I said, “Look, I’ll prefer to go to the other side than to agree. I won’t. If GuruGuru

In Los Angeles, when Baba Singh brought me coconut water and I said, “How come it is San Francisco and what are you doing here?”
He said, “No sir, your plane has to go via Los Angeles.”

because three have one common thing, they all hammer you. Their love is a hammer. You may do anything, you read scripture.
Somebody came to me and said, “I have come to you.”
I said, “What for?”
She said, “I (?),” and she said “Within few miles there lives a wise man, you go and listen to him.”
I said, “What do you mean within few miles?”
She said, “There may be many wise men but I know you, so I have come. Now tell me what should I do?”
I said, “All right, tell me the whole story.”
She gave me whole story and I said, “You are a nut. It was nothing but your ego, it is total false, you are not acting right.”
And she said, “Yogiji I thought you will favor me.”
I said, “What do you mean favor you? I can’t favor you. You have given me a proposition, I find it is total false and I must tell you it is false and I thank you very much, now your time is over, (?), I can’t favor you.”
Third day she again appeared, I said, “Now what is wrong?”
She said, “I listened to you half and I listened to myself half but that half has now put me in such a trouble I want to get out of it.”
I said, “Now I can’t help you.”
She said, “What should I do?”
I said, “Right leave my house and go to your teacher. And now ask him for the rest of the question who has taught you nonsense to listen to the half of the wise man and half to your ego. Now you ask him this problem, I don’t teach this science and I don’t have answer for this.”
Got rid of it. Because sometime your ego does not allow you to listen to the wisdom. I am not willing to agree that you do not know what truth is. Everybody knows what truth is but very few know how to practice it. And it is not knowing the truth which matters at all, it is the practicing the truth which matters and that is what all matters.
Knowing the truth is just a first step. Practicing the truth is the second step and dying for the truth is the last step. If you have achieved a consciousnessConsciousness
The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality.
that you are willing to sacrifice this living being for the sake of truth, God prevails through you. Below that you are below that. You understand my this paraphrase when I say? Below that you are below that. And at that you are at that. Knowing the truth is great, some even do not know. Living the truth is a great, some do not live but to sacrifice your life for truth is the greatest because you become as fearless as God is and you become as truthful as truth is. When you become as truthful as truth is, you do not know death.

A woman who can sacrifice her head but shall not leave the truth. A male who is willing to sacrifice his head but shall not leave the truth, they got this title, Sardar and Sirdarni. This title was given to one man in India, Sardar Patel. After Mahatma Gandhi, he earned this title because he was known for this truth…

People drinking wine and doing weird number have their own universe. People, woman selling her body has her own universe. Woman teaching not to do it has her own universe. Everybody has his own universe and you must relate to everybody’s universe and relate to that love you have. If they feel attracted to you they will be with you, otherwise automatically they will leave you and that saying will come true,

Yeah, you listened to me very fine, many people listen to me, when it comes to practice fifty percent goof up and when I put a little hurdle on the way of some people, some have got very bad time I know that.

I said, “That is why I did it, to just see how much you love me. And now, stick with it, baby. That’s the way I, I deal. Now your love is going to be put on test.”
He said, “Then can’t you just withdraw that letter?”
I said, “No. I have no such option. I have got this thing to be put on you and I like to see how much you love me.”

Whether he knows or not, he must fall apart, sooner or later because ego and God do not live together. You can’t project God conscious out and also you can’t project ego with it. When you project God 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.

, I mean to say, it is a very simple situation.
Student: You cannot survive the …
YB: No, you can survive always without ego but you cannot survive without God. What ego you are talking now, that’s my subject. Ego is like onion. Ego, universal ego, super ego, physical ego, mental ego, which one you are relating to?
Student: (------)
YB: I am… Super ego means, universal ego means God consciousnessConsciousness
The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality.
. That’s a very beautiful question, you can answer it.
Student: When you say ego you mean only negative ego…
YB: Ego basically means negative. Ego means negative but we must use the word positive ego, super ego, universal ego. By ego we limit ourself. Ego is responsible for our attachments. But we do not eliminate ego. We don’t teach to get out of ego. We want to expand that ego from that to supreme ego to universal ego. But here people are very afraid. That is what in the western world is difficulty. People are so ego oriented, they feel losing their ego is losing their identity. But that doesn’t work it. You have to make your identity universal so that you may belong to the whole universe and whole universe may belong to you.
Student: So you are going to give up…
YB: Well, giving up we don’t teach at all. We give up nothing. All we believe in is to extend it. Somebody who teaches giving up, he is a friend of mine, too. And that is a different subject, when one wants to learn he has to learn with that teacher, not with me. I can’t teach that because I don’t know that.

but I agree because there is no other way to disagree. I feel anybody who has more than five followers is a God conscious man and there is no way but to recognize him that way but I do not agree either he has any God conscious or his followers because basically you must understand God 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.

, in their mind, to accept that universality, so they want that limited stuff and they serve that, purpose is okay. It does not mean if I cannot drink milk, nobody should drink it. I feel they are doing a good job. They are doing a good job in their own way.
A guy who teaches the primary class cannot teach the master degree student, right but you cannot misunderstand his worth or his work. He is all right. He is teaching the primary class, he is teaching the alphabetic, he is doing everything what he is supposed to do. So he is wonderful. And to a professor who is teaching in a university or dean or head of the faculty it may look like a joke. But that professor must not misunderstand he passed through the primary class too, once. But the difficulty is, sometime the primary student think with, that is the only class and nothing beyond that. That is where the hang-up is.
You will be surprised to see mostly these holy men, they don’t sit together. Hmm? Mostly, they don’t see each other. They don’t like each other, they don’t stay together. Why? Because the potential is so strong they cannot relate to each other. That final stage has not been achieved the humility. And a teacher without humility is useless teacher.
Student: (------)
YB: No, no, they are all, that is not the problem. They, they do relate to certain facts to a certain extent, sometime they don’t.

Firstly, they don’t accept the invitation, secondly, if they accept they put such conditions that we cannot cater to it. So finally we have left okay, God bless you, do your own thing, why should we, why should we bother. Why I have to sponsor a person to ask him to come and speak in that ashramAshram
, Aashram
A community of practitioners who come together to live conscious, mindful lives.
, why? But they want that way.
They want only they will like to come and speak if we do their publicity, we are not going to do that. Class is there, there are hundred fifty people, you come along and you be there. Good enough. You come as a goodwill, you come just to meet me, I, I come to meet you. That is why, this time we decided to make a yoga confederation, where at least these yogisYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
may start communicating with each other. Whatever you are doing is fine, whatever I am doing is fine, but we are two human being, if we live with a mutual respect it’s okay. I think finally that time is going to come, it is going to be like that way. This Piscean trip, my trip is the best trip is going to, going to walk out. It’ll not be very long. But this is a transactory period, it’s a trans, you have to transfer yourself from one being to another being and it’s going to be all right. Many will leave the path, many will join the path, many will come, many will go.
This nineteen seventy one was a very serious year. Everybody who was teaching spirituality suffered. He had a setback. And up to December 31st, yeah, it changes in twenty, fifteenth of April, many will leave the spiritual path, altogether, total. Mars is negative, very negative. They have no energy to teach and if they have no faith, and love of God, they cannot teach because Mars in the heavens have gone negative to the first house, of all spiritual teachers, they are controlled by one plan 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 you can count how many people are freaking out.
Student: What sign (------)
YB: Mars, Mars, any sign can rule that house, you know, it, it depends where the Jupiter is. Jupiter is the star which gives you Vidya, which gives you knowledge, which will give you devotion to teach and Saturn is the one who brings you to the level of teaching. And when Mars becomes in trance with Saturn and Jupiter in heavens, you can understand the teacher has no protection. Because his Mars, Mars is the life force, energy, right, other to Sun, that is what gives you to deal with things, feel things and sun is the life current. Your life current is all right. Now you have two teachers in your horoscope, one is Saturn, and one is Jupiter. Jupiter teaches you, ‘well, if you do this, solve this problem I’ll give you five dollars. If you don’t, you are not rewarded,’ right. Saturn teaches you ‘if you don’t solve this problem he’ll give you five batons.’ That is a hard and that is a soft, these are two teachers. Whenever in the horizons the Mars trance them, on the universal level, the teachers falls apart. And that retrogatory Mars does its number many times, it really test everybody. And in the individual horoscope also that number comes sometime but at that moment if you have a faith you feel your God is with you, you cross it without any pain and difficulty but if you don’t, you fall apart. Period, that’s it.
That is where they say faith moves the mountains, otherwise stones are heavier for the man. That moment of faith doesn’t matter, ‘Om Namo 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.
Dev Namo,’ I can go through it. That’s what it is.

You will meditate, you will close your eyes and you will meditate on your tongue, your tongue will make a special movement, Hari Har, it will touch the upper palate, it will go down and it will have a color, it will have three movements in it and you will meditate on the movement of the tongue and it will be a constant sound which you will create. You understand, follow?

which we’ll work it on throat center. You do not know how to work this center out but I am going to teach you and this is a very convenient situation because tongue, tip of the tongue is very powerful. And it is responsible to create vibrations and if we know how to do that technically it will be great. The Vak Siddhi, whatever you say becomes truth comes when you speak truth and speaking truth is a little weird thing. You can’t speak truth sometime you do not know what truth is, what is all this. But expressing as near to the facts which you know or believe is what we call it speaking the truth but if you get your tongue straightened out through the MantraMantra

Jap, then you cannot speak anything except truth, it doesn’t relate to anything except truth.

. So we are going to work it out. Now you have complete one hour to relax, if you can get up you can go to bathroom.
Student: How long….
YB: It was two hours, one hour and two hour, one hour and I think forty five minutes or something. No, forty, not, one hour and fifteen minutes and thirty five, yeah, about one hour, forty eight minutes or something. It was to be two hours but I didn’t get the time. I never wanted to proceed beyond one fifteen. Now, five, close to two hours I think five minutes earlier we stop because inside watch has fifteen minutes difference.

Student: (-----)
(Students laugh)
YB: Just leave them sour and then not leave them sour, that is the exercise. You know, what we do when we somebody said ‘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.
,’ right, and we feel he is a sophisticated 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.
, not that kind of man who sits on the nails and all that, we watch his feet. These three calluses, one this, one this and one this, you know, one this, one this and one this. Now I always sit on a very soft pad, in spite of that I have this calluses. That is the experience.
You know, once I was in Canada and the dean of the faculty said, “How we know you are 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 I put my foot right, I said, “See the signs of a yogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
.”
He said, “What?”
I said, “I am just going to teach you in future, when you want to see 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.
watch his these calluses and see how hard he is and if they are really very hard, he has really done something good.” Because normally when you teach for few hours you sit like this, right. This is the normal, easiest posture in yoga, because if you don’t fit in in lotus pose and all that, naturally these areas get a pressure.
I want to tell you something which you will be surprised to listen. Do you know carbon, gas? You know it.
Student: Carbon dioxide?
YB: Carbon dioxide. It takes three dollars for twenty pound cylinder. You know the charcoal? It is also a carbon dioxide. It takes about five to six dollars for twenty pound. And you know the diamond, it is also pure carbon. How much money it requires to take twenty pounds of diamond? In all the three stages it is a carbon, pure carbon, nothing else. But that becomes transparent crystal. That is where it is valued, it can be cut and shaped, it can transmit light, that’s we call it a diamond.
In humans there are three types of human. One type is gas. They will be here, tomorrow they will split. They are here, not here. The other is like a charcoal, wherever go they will make everything black. You know charcoal? You catch it with a hand it will black your hands. You keep it on the ground it will make the ground black. But it’s a carbon, don’t misunderstand me. And the third type is the carbon which is a diamond. Wherever the diamond will be there will be a security, there will be a beauty, there will be a value and that human form is that of a teacher. Teacher will always have disciples, he’ll always be taken care of and he will always be beautiful man. So choice is yours. But you have to become that hard as diamond is. It is ten hard, gas is zero hard. Charcoal is point, how much it is, point three or something, that is the hardness of the charcoal. Harder you get under the pressure of the selflessness, priceless you become. Diamond as stone is not valuable but when you cut it, put it in the ring it becomes valuable. Cutting adds to the price, so is your shape and your discipline. Your mind wanders, it is a gas. It stick to some negativity and positivity, it is a charcoal. But it becomes solid, rigid, then it becomes diamond. But when it is cut, it shines and radiates light, then it becomes diamond of value. Diamond as a stone hasn’t got that value, who wants that? None. They take it out that stone, they cut it, they polish it, then it becomes a valuable piece.
So, you must understand how much wandering mind values. If you really want to enjoy your value, your respect and your self-respect and your being in human being in this world, then solidify yourself, discipline yourself and cut yourself with the power of SadhanaSadhana

Well, some are here for three days they will get what comes in three days. Some are here for seven days, they will get what comes in seven days, it’s okay. No problem. Some will be here in America whole life and they will never come to a single class. They may be happy, too, no problem. Our job is to be available. It is their job to come or not to come.

for a particular specific time, in a particular manner. You have some experience about it. It is yours. All I did is, I told you the words and I told you the technical knowhow of it. That was my part, chanting and doing all this was your part. So it is positive and negative which makes the whole life going.

There was a man, he went to God. Have, have I told you that story yet or not? There was a man, he went to God. So God asked him, “Come on, you can do the inspection this is hell, this is heaven, this is this,” and in one quarters he went where the people were laying down on flowers and all the beauty you can imagine on this earth was there.

He said, “What is that?”
He said, “He is Ram, he, he has to choose to obey his father and he left the crown and the kingdom. And he went and lived fourteen year in jungle.”
He said, “Good. Who is that?”
He said, “That is Krishna.”
He said, “What is he doing here?”
He said, “Well, he was not even allowed to born, he lost his all seven sisters and when he was born he had to live in a forest and under weird circumstances in whole life he was to fight against negativity.”
He said, “That’s it.” He said, “If I have to come here, am I supposed to do all this?”
He said, “Some of it, whichever is there.”
He said, “I’ll be better in hell. I can’t do that.”
So they say, everybody wants to go to heaven, nobody wants to die. People want to become messiahs and this and that, unfortunately without living through the characteristic of those for whom they pretend.
You must also understand their life is known to us. And when you pretend you are a Gautam BuddhaBuddha

… and he does not live up to it. (?) they start laying their number of superiority of their superiority on the fellow being. They do not know all power flows from God and all shall merge in him. Ram was God on the earth right incarnation of God, where is he now? He is not here. But he is here in the sense, the way of life of truth and SadhanaSadhana

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.
he lived, we worship him even today as God. We relate his name as a vibration of God. Where is Krishna? He is not physically with us but through his action he is with us. Where is Jesus Christ? Not here with us but through his sacrifice, through his action he is with us, through his love he is with us. Exactly you can be immortal if you live a life of higher consciousnessConsciousness
The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality.
. Everybody can do that. Everybody is a chosen one. But you have to live through that life and if you cannot practice that life you will fall apart. But for God sake, just do you have to do. Learn from everybody, some will teach you a hard way, somebody teach you a soft way, somebody will take long time, somebody will take short time, whatever it is, it is, no problem. But there is no such thing somebody can do it and you sit home. You eat meat pie and somebody’s hunger will go away, I have not seen that thing happening yet. So people who just run about for curiosity sake, and they do their number, their conscious is negative.

. Highest. Don’t fill yourself through the ears with the garbage from others, it is difficult, I am saying it, you can note it but still sometime you get caught into it. Don’t listen to the negativity through ears, don’t churn it in your mind and don’t split it out through your tongue. That is why the story of those three monkeys. Don’t listen to the negativity, don’t see negativity, don’t talk negativity. All in left in you will be positive, and when you will be all positive, you can then make all surrounding as positive. Highest power of the man is, that he doesn’t listen to the negativity.
What is Partahar? In yoga Partahar, substitute every negative thought with a equal positive thought. Simple principle. Somebody tells you, California is going to go into the ocean. Now it is a fear vibration, right. Substitute brother, if it is the will of God He will keep us in California and we’ll go in ocean with a smile but don’t be afraid. He’ll be happy, you’ll be happy but if you just listen to him, California is going to go to ocean, sleep that night, at two O’clock you will have a dream, California going into ocean and your apartment falling apart. Because he gave you those vibrations, they got stuck in your brain and your mind brought them out through a very powerful negativity and your dream sucked out your entire nervous potential.
Similarly, as mosquito spreads malaria we have mosquito men brothers and sisters too. I call them mosquitoes. They spread negativity. They go and sit around you, and they take their tongue out and they tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-tik, they spread all that poison in you. And what, what happens when mosquito bites you? You have fever. You suffer. Similarly, these mosquito brothers and sisters of ours, they come around, they spread negativity, slander and filth and they pollute your mind and then you suffer with a fever of negativity. And it takes two, three days to get out of it, you have to have that bitter quinine, you have to go and talk to somebody and get little hammered and get out of it. So please use net around you when this mosquito brother and sister come and net of positivity. When they start talking the first talk just tell them, why don’t you meditate on God for this energy, you will be blessed. Because the scripture says,
‘Miley Sant Kuch Suniey, Kahiye, Miley Asant Mastt Horiye.’
‘If you meet a holy man and saintly man you should talk to him and listen something from him but if you meet some unholy man or negative man, Asant, then Mastt Horiye, then slip away. Because our body, our mind is not meant to be polluted. And don’t hate those people, they are our brothers and sisters, but they have been trained. After all, God is in the mosquito, too, isn’t it? Who created mosquito? God. To spread malaria. So they are also creation of God in our human society, they do what they do. That very great question whether man incarnate or the other word is what?
Student: Transmigrate.
YB: Transmigrate, that’s a very powerful question, I’ll discuss it at length. Man incarnate has got when he acts in higher consciousnessConsciousness
The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality.
, he transmigrate when he acts in lower 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.
, period. So every man transmigrate and he is incarnation every minute. Because his actions prove where he is. So whether after death you transmigrate or you have reincarnation that let us not discuss it, we do it everyday here. When we relate to our SadhanaSadhana

, we speak truth, we help people, we are giver, we spread truth, we are in positive vibration, we are incarnation of God. When we backbite, we spread negativity, spread garbage, do weird things then we come down. So when you live in your lower Chakras, you transmigrate. When you live in your higher Chakras, you reincarnate and you do it everyday, moment to moment. So don’t worry.

YB: When you go to a animal life they call it transmigration, it means going reverse to the cycle. Incarnation is when you go to the higher side of the cycle. To the positive side and to the negative side. And it’s always a great discussion, once you have a human body you cannot become a animal. There are proofs and scripture testify those proofs that it happens. In one incarnation man has lived as a human and in other incarnation he has been recognized as a animal.
Pardon?
Student: Recognized by whom?
YB: By different people. Saint Kabir recognized somebody, he was a, he was a wealthy man of that town, and he was a bull. And he didn’t believe, his son didn’t believe, his son was working him and he didn’t believe. And he said, “Well, do you think he is not your father?”
He said, “How can I believe?”
He said, “I can tell you how he is your father.”
And Kabir talked to him. He said, “Isn’t this load of this oil machine which you are running all the time round and round give you enough lesson that you are going round and round of your money spinning thing?”
He said, “Very heavy.”
He said, “What do you want?”
He said, “I want to be free.”
He said, ‘Hare Ram Tatsat’ and the bull on its spot died. And he told his son, ‘This was your father whom you worked it out because of this story in your family.”

he was traveling and there came a man with a black bear. So he called him and he said, “Since when you had this black bear?”
He gave the date. He said, “I want to buy it.”
He said, “I am not going to sell it.”
He said, “No, say how much money you want.”
He said, “But I like it to work for me all the time.”
He said, “All right, if you want to sell it, fine,” then they gave him a PrashadPrashad

and the bear ate that and he died on the spot. He started (?) ‘my bear is dead,’ he said, “Well, you have the money, that’s all, he was to die anyway.”
He said, “But why he has to die?”
He said, “He was my Sikh, he was my disciple. One day a man came to get PrashadPrashad

, he refused him because it was his ego, spiritual ego and that man was very saintly and he pounced on him and that man told in return you are pouncing on me like a bear. So his words became true, this man died and here he is.”
And there are so many examples, one is Lord Rama was going, he found certain people and he brought them and we have so many scriptures where things have happened with different people to recognize. And they did recognize who they were before. But our ego does not permit it, we are human being, we are great, we cannot become animal. It is we who say it but…
Student: (---)
YB: Ah?
Student: Some of them are worse than animal.
YB: No, no, worst or better, that doesn’t make any sense but what we feel is, but argument may be any for or against but I feel is, when you behave not like a man, either you behave like a God or you behave like a animal and that what can happen in this life it can happen also after death. But some people do not believe it, they say once you are a human being, you always be human being.

YB: Psychic prophecy may not be right. When a prophet gives a prophecy, it is a right. I tell you what is the difference. Psychic is told to say, psychic told to say because he reads the symbols. His energy is limited to symbology and he interprets symbol, sometime he interprets right, sometime he interprets wrong. Prophet doesn’t interpret anything. It comes to him and he makes the prophecy.
Student: (---)
YB: Regarding what?
Student: (---)
YB: If a prophet has said that this town is going to go to dogs or going to go in ocean or anything like that?
Student: (---)
YB: No, it is not negativity, he tells people that you are all negative to God and suffering is waiting on your head. It’s not negativity, he is a teacher, he prophesize the God’s will and he warns people. He is not a part of it, he doesn’t curse that town. You understand the difference? There is a difference.
He tells people to be positive, he tells people to do good job, he tells people you have done enough. Now stop it, otherwise you are going to have little bit of, you know, his holiness will have his heaviness, you understand that law? When his heaviness comes then only his holiness can stop it, otherwise… Sometime the volcano burst and the lava washes away everything. Law of nature is law of energy.

Student: But I would if I gave them MantrasMantra
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.

Student: Right now.
YB: Okay. That much everybody now knows.
Can’t you people understand three years ago I just walked in this country and now I move around all over, and why can’t you all be like me? What is that secret which I am holding, why don’t you ask me that? Well, I loved people, I respect everybody and I wanted to see everybody great and I do not know whether everybody became great or not but I became great.
(Students laugh)
It is very simple. I am so heavy now man, I pick up telephone and I, I do my all number on those people who have not even dead, listen to some people, can you believe it?
Okay, you come here. Sit down here. You believe the woman is a grace of God? Then there should not be a topless and bottomless showdown going on in San Francisco.
(?) you are all rest, doing is nothing. Will you all support these girls? (?) I wish they should, but if they don’t, I can’t force anyone. So there is going to be a procession. On the night of equinox. But why not tell me?
Student: (---)
YB: Huh?
Student: Why not other than the fact (---).
YB: On what?
Student: (---)
YB: Yeah, but you may be in that island but what, what it matters, you know, on that night from San Rafael you just walk about few miles through those streets and television will cover you and the word will get spread and at least if you get five, six hundred girls, that will do it. Just spread the, get few torches at night and let them all sing ‘we are the grace of God,’ and let them give that literature, this topless, bottomless is not, it is your mother, it is your sister whom you are making dance for few bucks. We are the grace of God, that’s all, and little, little thing and start distributing. That’s all you want to do, isn’t it? Don’t you feel right, isn’t the time the woman should understand that she is a grace of God and she should demonstrate it, against all these billboards and whiskey bottles and all that nudity which is being subjected to on her?
Student: Can we call after (---)
YB: Oh, you may do anything, you can call president Nixon for that, I don’t (?).

Student: (---)

YB: But how are going to show it?
Student: (---)
YB: Oh by living it is all right but there are some people who do not know you are living it or not. How that way?
Student: Yeah, you can be chanting ‘we are the grace of God,’ we are not going to be smashing down (?).
Student: I think the (?) you, sometimes we are (?).
YB: All the police will guard you. Listen, my birthday was not my birthday. Wait a minute, my birthday was not my birthday, that two hundred pound cake I never ate. You understand? It was a physical demonstration of selflessness and love for the person whom they loved, they liked and they adore, right, that was all it? Okay. The word went through. Nobody tells me it was, my birthday was great, they all they say LA Times picture was great, can you believe it? That is people subconscious mind is. And so many people have started taking 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.
tea you don’t believe it.
Student: With a wrong recipe.
YB: With a wrong recipe, doesn’t matter but some day that can right. I mean to say, one year has passed the Grace of God Movement is, you go and tell the mayor or these girls should go and tell the mayor that “we want to demonstrate to people in America, the woman in America is a Grace of God. Our purpose is totally peaceful and we want the police protection and our route is this and all we want to create vibration and chant, we are grace of God.” He is not going to say no, at all. Right?
Students: Right.
YB: And these girls will openly demonstrate that the sex symbol this woman has been subjected for three hundred years in America is going to end one day.
Student: (---)

Student: I know that (---)
YB: No, no, all these yoga organization and religious organization and blah, blah, blah, all this is going on, can they join in this with you?
Student: (---)
YB: No, no, I am saying, is it not, is it not fourteen, you were telling me fourteen organization have come together and they don’t have any woman as a grace of God among them?
Student: (---)
YB: Get them together.
Student: They are Sufis.
YB: Hmm?
Student: They are Sufis.
YB: They are not Grace of God?
Student: They are Sufi as (---) I don’t think (?) ever change (?).
YB: That is the same Muslim thing?
Student: (---)
YB: That is weird.
Student: (---)
YB: That is (?),
Student: (---)
YB: Oh that is, she is a sheep.
Student: (---)
YB: They trade a woman like a sheep. That’s terrible attitude. No, no, no, but let us talk to them also, doesn’t matter.
Student: (---)
YB: I think it is worthwhile. And this will have two effects. One, the woman will predict she is a grace of God, and second, all those who among us do not believe that woman is a God will freak out quick. You follow what I mean? There are certain people who are still sticking around and they do not believe that we are grace of God and they believe in KundaliniKundalini
Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual.

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.

Student: (---) positive action (?) negative action (?) positive pronouncement that we are grace of God.
Student: (---)
YB: I tell you why not. Torch represent light and they glorify that nudity also through light. I don’t want you to oppose anything in life, learn that is not the way I have lived. But I always match, if you are hundred percent negative to me I’ll match with you with a hundred ten percent positivity. And that adds little light and little glamor and little existence of it.
Student: So we are just going to say what we are in front of the other places that are trying to say what we are.
YB: You are not breaking the doors, you are not entering, you are not smashing their glasses, you are doing nothing. You simply walk in the rows of three that is trinity, mother was in beginning, mother was is now, mother is in the end. Walk in the row of trinity and walk through at a difference of three feet and have three feet difference between yourself and on every third side you have a little torch and a bamboo, right. And go through singing ‘we are the grace of God.’ And it will freak out everybody.

YB: We want to test how powerful organization you folks are in the bay area. And what kind of love these fourteen organization have and what is the total strength and whether the fact the woman is a grace of God has been recognized yet or not or still it is, she is a sex symbol to lay down your number on her. And we want to start this beginning and end the end.
Well, it is, Berd, it is not your problem, not my problem, it is problem of the grace of God, right. So why to discuss it? Let us see, let us presume we have not done it, we have not said it, it was just a idea I wanted to float this idea. So if they are Shaktis, they will maneuver their Shaktimans and make them straight out.
Student: (---)
YB: Sure, sure, sure, that’s, that’s what I mean.
Student: (---)
YB: Whether you like it or not, there is no problem in America, absolutely no problem but a fundamental problem that woman, the giver of the life has been reduced to sex symbol and the house, the symbol of happiness has reduced to a play of emotions. And that is where all unhappiness is. I think the Grace of God Movement is meant to check these too and if woman start recognizing that she is a grace of God and she started living that way and men started supporting that, lot of problems in the society and sickness will go away. Kyonji, Berkeley?
Student: Yes sir.
YB: You agree?
Student: Yes.
YB: Okay. So, we can give you some time, right.

Now look at them one, two, three, these four stalwart, come on, you are also, five, six, my God, now that’s enough number, sit down.
So what my idea is, they always say if you want to relate to God, spread the word of God. So this is what I am trying to reach you, you can take any date today, fix it up, organize it, we’ll send a circular to all GGM units, all over the state, is it not GGMWA, it is a very strong organization, you folks do not know about it, even. You will recognize after ten years what I am talking today. When this GGM will put their first president into the office, or at least fight their office for, then you will understand what we are talking. All, always you know, rain starts with one drop and then it turns into a flood. So, that’s it.
You know, I have got a debt to pay, I am born of a woman, I never came out of anything else. And I have to glorify that woman who gave me a birth. And without debt, without paying that debt I know I shall go to hell, I cannot enter heaven, but I love to enter heaven. So. So, I have to pay that debt, I can’t carry it on and every man has to pay that debt. You are all in debt, whether you believe it or you don’t believe it. She took care of you the first three years, she took care of you nine months and she suffered with you and you have the debt. The only way to pay that debt is to glorify her and to tell her that she is the grace of God. And that is why, it has to be done and I sincerely believe in it. I don’t want to come again as a woman to carry on this movement. I think you girls are strong enough, so, well, if I have to, I will, there is no problem.

YB: Yeah, after this seven thirty we are having a ladies’ class today, yep. I am sorry, I got tired yesterday I went to bed earlier. Today I’ll talk about all this whole thing.
Student: Now I feel happy.
YB: Then man has no right to live. He, she has to just understand she has to create, that’s it.
Student: (-----)
YB: No, if people who can afford to come to San Francisco will come to help them. Otherwise everybody will do it (?), we have sixty cities to cover, we’ll cover everywhere, we’ll send a letter out.
Student: (-----)
YB: Now we’ll send a letter out telling all the people there may be ten girls anywhere, all they have to notify and they have to walk with that via the grace of God and all the men who supports them must walk behind and we’ll send the whole plan under GGMWA. But we want to concentrate mainly on San Francisco because that is the birthplace of the GGMWA and I don’t want to forget to forget the birthplace. And this is also a birthplace of the topless and bottomless and you know, we have to, we have to match it.
What name, huh?
Student: (-----)
YB: What is this secret joke?
Student: What is the nick….
YB: What is the nickname? Huh?
Student: Tuts.
YB: Ah?
Student: (-----)
YB: What is, what that means? What is tuts?
Student: I am not sure (?).
Student: (?) kind of a crude way to call them tuts.
YB: Oh, who dared to call you that and why you tolerate? You get up, with this affection you get up and publicly announce you will never let anybody tell you, address you with a negative word. I mean to say, err is a human, when there is a wrong done, a man can tell you what is wrong and you must listen to it and try to do it right but don’t let him have a habit to call you tut or call you put or whatever he wants to say.
Student: (-----)
YB: Hey man, Jesus is coming. That is not that way. That is a ecstasy (?). But in our (?) culture we call hey man it means, to call a woman hey man, oh.
Student: (-----)
Student: In the family of man there is man and woman. Wow-man.
YB: Wow-man. That is all right? Actually woman is wow-man.
Okay, your time is over, set yourself.
And I will like you to understand what you are going to do today. Today we are going to work on the basic three Chakras. First, second and third 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.
. Today we’ll cover one hour up to 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.
, the area of Mool Bandh. Or we call it root lock. And, we’ll go through certain Kriyas through which I will like you to correctly do it and if something you don’t understand which I say or the, you do not get that impression you raise your hand and I’ll come near you and we’ll talk it out and you must correct yourself.

YB: I am sitting on celibate posture. I am sitting on the mattress.

Shaktis chant: I am Grace of God.

(The chanting continues for some time)
… honest moment when you put your heart, soul, everything into everything. I have always tried to tell you, ‘isn’t the life that matters, it is the courage you bring to it.’ It is not the grace matters, it is the grace you bring to yourself. Same way. Nobody on this planet can disgrace you if you know you are the grace of God. That one word. You won’t believe me today, because you have freaked out. But one day through the century and generation this land will worship this chant. Today you who do not stick to anything, because you do not stick to your soul, you change things like tide, your steadiness has been taken away from you because of the material ego, that tide we will change. We are already changing that tide and we will have a grace of God, we will believe in grace of God, we will live in grace of God. And the world will learn from us how to live in grace of God, how to be a grace of God. This is highest of the highest. And that is what we mean. We are very serious about it. We know the secret of it. We have realized through the century of the scripture saying that man has to feel that he is the greatest God, as strongly he feels as he becomes. If anybody of you wants to be a grace of God, he wants to live as a grace of God, he wants to have the grace of God, that universal energy, that cosmos which made everything, which created everything, which will destroy everything, then you have to feel for it. You have to live for it, you have to be it. Don’t do anything which is not graceful, you will become grace of God. Why not?
Nobody can take away from you your grace, it is given by God, it is given by your Creator. Some people think there is no God. I say to them one word, all right, there is no God, who fix your eyes and the nose in the center, why not your eyes be fixed on the knees. Who made your blueprint, why your hands are not fixed on the hips? Why could not you breathe through the toe of the leg? What is wrong there? Couldn’t your nose be fixed and one eye would have done the whole job? Who is the one who made your blueprint? You do not know. For convenience we call Him God, what is wrong in that? That is the grace of God. When you surrender to God, you live as God has made you. Then you do not make addition and alteration, that’s the one sign of the man to relate to God. He refuses to add or subtract anything from his physical because when you pay an architect you do not make any change in the plan, he wants the construction to go. It’s a fundamental law. Because he knows better where to put the beam, where to put the cement, where to put the sand and where to put the window and where to put the ventilator. He knows you do not know. When you start messing up what He has planned you mess up your whole destiny and mankind is very proud in doing it. Men are very proud in doing it. They do not believe their architect had a plan. They do not agree with that plan, that masterplan. They do not believe in that master, they do not believe in his master plan. And still they want to be happy. How crazy they are. Can you believe it? Man has never tried to surrender to His Creator. He has always fought with him.
Somebody asked me a question, “Why in the whole world people shave their head and they shave their beard, what I have to offer?”
I answered that, I said, “It’s a very simple. There is a greatest fool than other man, he wants to look like a baby and live like a baby. When he is born he wants to maintain that shape till his death. That is his problem.” As he grows his hair grow. As the youth come to him his beard grows. He doesn’t want to relate to it because he wants to be his own master. And he doesn’t know he is going to freak out. When in the old age the man will pass fifty-five or the woman will pass forty-five, that is the fifty-fourth year no sun energy will be available and these antennas have been cut down and instead of providing energy they will eat it up because they have to grow, they are under the law of their master, they do not obey you. You shave in the morning they grow in the evening, you shave in the evening, they grow overnight. You shave legs. Why don’t you have a lotion which you put in the bathtub and you maybe total hairless? Why can’t you produce that type of a thing? So that your every part of the body may lose energy. Why don’t you experiment with one man, make him total hairless, let him work it out, see what happens to him after thirty six years. Just see. And see how miserable he will be when he’ll be fifty four. Why can’t you experiment that?
In olden civilization if one was used to be condemned to death he had two choices – either chop off his head or they will shave off his head. Either of the two. That is where the surrender is. When man surrender himself, he recognizes God. He realizes God, then he knows he has a architect. Somebody who made him. Somebody is born blind, eyes are there, they don’t see. Ears are there, deaf and dumb. Nobody is willing to relate to that your construction, your physical, your being, your whole this thing is not with you. You are the tenant in this physical. And this house is the house of God in which you are sitting to live in the grace of God. You don’t do that. You freak out. Somebody who tells you two, three times, four times, ‘it doesn’t suit you,’ you say ‘ha, I’ll go to somebody else. He teaches with great love. He doesn’t tell me these things.’
Why should somebody tell you if you do not want to listen? And why should you not understand that you will never get to the Grace of God if you will not surrender to the Grace of God? You can never have a house complete perfect if you do not obey the instruction in the blueprint of the architect. God is your architect, nature is your constructing engineer, you fight the architect, you fight the construction engineer and you want a building. I mean to say, you are the greatest nut on the planet. And you think you become God conscious, you are crazy. You are fighting God from the very beginning. You fight God at His doorstep.

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.

is never liberated. Look when words came to me that I had, it is in my destiny to go to the western hemisphere. I was well settled in my life, I gave up. You can’t fight with destiny. I did it gracefully, with all the honesty at my command. God provided me everything. So if you accept the will of God with grace, you will have grace. Otherwise you will be disgraced. Because you can’t fight with the universe. You are the part of universe. This universe is not beautiful without you but if you go on your ego do what you want to do and make the universe ugly because you are a part of it, then the whole universe will fight you. That is what is happening to the mankind. It’s a simple law.
Nature acts and it reacts. You act on nature, nature reacts. God doesn’t react. Nature reacts. You are a part, you are a… As tree is, so the man is. As flower is, so the man is. As bird is, so the man is. Everything as it is, so the man is. Before that universal cosmos energy you are as you are, everything is as it is. But man has been given ego to expand it to a universal ego. Instead of that he becomes with a negative ego, he wants to do what he wants to do. Then nature will do what nature wants to do and fight with nature. Who cares? Calamity after calamity.
In India they ask me we have got scripture, “We have got God knowledge, why there is a poverty and why there is a negativity in India?”
I say, “You don’t practice it.”
And God, nature is going to teach you to practice God. And when you go ‘oh God, oh God,’ that time when it comes on you. Flood comes on you, rain comes on you, heat comes on you, wars comes on you, why all this happens to you. You, you don’t practice it. Live as a grace of God, be grace of God, feel as grace of God, you will become grace of God and when the God will give you grace, when God will give you grace, nobody can disgrace you. None. Because He created everyone. You think him as a person, you think him as a cosmos. Aad Aad Shakti

There is no escape from this law. You cannot escape from this law, you are trying to I know it, don’t worry. But you will be caught and punished in the hand of time. If you will not listen to your teacher there is a another teacher whom you may listen, may not listen, he is going to hook you and they call him Mr.Time.

, something is going to happen, I know this is a hotline it works. It worked when we were caught, too. It will work when you are caught too, it works for everybody, it is a hotline, no problem but every time and every time you forget to do it because you don’t have the habit to do but we want you to chant, we want you to be it. You want to feel it that you are the grace of God, so it may be convenient for you to become grace of God, live as grace of God, relate as grace of God, and surrender to the grace of God so that God may give you this grace. Are you going to buy it?

YB: Okay, now or when? Next Friday.
Well, this is up to you to decide. This is up to you to feel, my job is to tell you. My job is bow-bow-bow-bow-bow all the time I do it, wake, wake, wake, wake, wake, if you don’t wake, thieves are going to loot you away. None of my problem. I have to do my job, I have to tell you the coming danger, I have to tell you the righteousness and I have to shout and shout and shout. If you don’t listen, you have plugged your ears. And you have choked your consciousnessConsciousness

, that is your problem, baby. You are going to suffer. I am doing it with all the honesty at my command. If God gives me little more power, I’ll do it. Whatever he has given me is fine with me. That is what you have to be.
And look how many thousands of brothers and sisters. Are you, are you, are you sure you are human being? Are you really sure? If you are human being can you tolerate those people who are suffering? Can you tolerate those brothers and sister who are selling their body for bread and butter for just to live one day? Can you feel thousands of girls are committing suicide because they feel lonely? There is nobody to talk to them, nobody to inspire them, nobody to raise their consciousnessConsciousness

? And you still call yourself human being? What human you are? What has gone to your humanity? And if all you are human beings what is happening around you? How can it happen? You want vacation from God work, you know how crazy you are.
Your ego is bothering you day and night and you talk of God consciousnessConsciousness

and you do not understand how much humanity is suffering? And you have got no time to take care of them? Even animals, when one animal get injured, they all flock together to help him. Oh, you are worse than animals. Animals are better than you, they have group consciousnessConsciousness

, you don’t have that. Ego has eaten you up totally. You have no love. You don’t go and tell a prostitute, ‘sister, you are my sister. You are grace of God.’ You are afraid, you can’t talk.

to go to a lonely person, call him even on telephone, to say ‘you are grace of God, we are your brother and sister, we are with you.’ We have built a 3HO family to feel together, to be together, sink and swim together. Some people are freaking out, they don’t want it. They want their number. Hell with you, we don’t buy that. We are all going to live together, we are going to live for each other, we are going to live with each other, we are going to live for each other, that was the purpose of this. And we all will believe that we are supposed to live healthy, happy and holy. And we’ll turn everybody onto this. Why not? Through humility, through service and through selflessness. That is the only way. You can’t lay your number on people. You have to serve people, you have to become human being. You have to relate to people, people are suffering, and you do not even get up, you do not rise. And this suffering when the whole surrounding will suffer, you cannot escape vibrations. Therefore, time is now to leave your negative habits and fears, and have faith and be a grace of God, spread it. Now is the time. You may not have life enough.
One man whom I love very much, he said, “YogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
, after fifteen years you will retire, you may not retire from yoga, you can go and teach after fifteen years. Your children will not suffer, your house will not suffer.”
I said, “Wait a minute, if I am to teach, let me teach now. Let me get out now. After fifteen years I may not have strength to teach. My bones may crack, I may not have flesh. I may not have the power to hassle. So man, if I have to do it, let me do it now.”
My astrologer came, he said, “YogiYogi
One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery.
, Yogiraj listen to me, you have the habit not to listen.”
I said, “What is wrong with you now?”
He said, “Do not leave three months more.”
I said, “Why?”
He said, “There is a lot of hardship.”
I said, “Doesn’t matter. If it is going to come on me, let it come, let me go through it, so I may not have any grudge and complain. Neither the hardship has any worry. So hardship will now that he she has tested me nicely, so let me go, doesn’t matter. It’s, it’s okay.”
How far you being human being will tolerate the suffering of the whole society when you know it clearly that you are a part of the society? I am asking you, I have become now American, you are born here in this country, you own more than me. Why don’t you make a resolution to live together? Live for each other, live with each other, love each other, sacrifice for each other, you egocentric Americans. You have got an ego of an elephant. You want your telephone, your bed, your roof, your boyfriend and your food. It’s not going to work out that way.
You fight God, you fight your basic God nature, man is a social animal, Aristotle said it. It is the basic nature of the man, it is his construction that man is a social animal, he cannot live alone, he goes crazy and you have created environments because of the money you have to live alone and to become crazy. And you are doing it to yourself. You have to have your own cabin. Your own apartment and in that apartment your own room and your own room your own bathroom. Can you believe it? That is why you are unable to live socially and if you cannot live socially you cannot live happy. And if you are not happy you can never be healthy and you can never be holy. It’s a simple law.
