We don’t need, we actually don’t need anything, we need one innocent prayer of one person by chance, one innocent prayer of one person unto God and we are all going to try it. Me, You, Us, We, whatever it takes. Understand? And that is what we are here for. It is three thirty, am I right? No there is a minute to it, and it is almost, what three thirty here means four o’clock in the morning or it is two o’clock in the morning at Golden temple, which way it goes?

Student: (----)

YB: Correct.

This is 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. ’s time, so I like you to mentally transport yourself twelve thousand miles from here unto Golden temple. Sit mentally there and pray to the one who we love the most and let Him handle it as He likes it, onward. Nothing else will work, except the prayer, there is nothing more than the power of the prayer. As children we are creating a direct relationship with God and the 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. divine and we have chosen this time. All we need is a one moment, one word, one prayer word and that is all we need, no big, no small. The posture you had yesterday, put yourself into that posture. Remember your fingers have to be straight up together, sit in solid state, close your eyes and we are going to play the tape right from the beginning and you will go along with it. Correct? Start.

(The tape ‘Ab Jann Upar…’ is played in the class)

(The tape stops.)

You have done it for sixty exact minutes and ten seconds now please stretch your legs and try to relax and re circulate. What you are trying to learn is, it is called confrontation. Confrontation and elevation are two aspects of life which are very essential. Confrontation and elevation are two aspects of the life which you have to confront in your life everyday it is a part of your life there is no more reality than that. And when it comes to you, when it is on you or it’s before you, you must deliver. That is what we are trying to develop it for. It is called deliverance. Maha Yug. What you call in, in your way, coming through, you call it deliverance and you get high with the God and that kind of scene.

Now the other part with it what we are trying to do, we have these three beautiful jewels… Oh people are going to close their tents? Didn’t they know it will rain anyway, ah? Okay, okay, just take few minutes rest and come back.

Okay now we have the our musicians, our beautiful musicians and we are going to take care of one thing. There is a ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. ,

‘Prabhji Tho Ko Laja Hamari.’

O! Lord God, you are my protector of my grace. This ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. with

‘Aad Gurve Nameh

Jugad Gurve Nameh.’

This ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. we are going to spontaneously meditate and sing, you understand what I mean, and actually it is a, it is a question of coming through it, it is not a question of me, you and us, we, it is a question of indulging ourself mobilizing the power of the prayer, so I can take rest too, I can eat these few, that is what I intend to.

YB: Hey, can you open this, ah, light.

Student: (----)

YB: They are most welcome.

Student: (---)

YB: Come on, come on, come on, what is wrong with it, say it truthfully.

Student: How my faith survived. Faith survived.

My faith survived, I think because ultimately, I trusted my spiritual teacher more than I trusted my negative mindNegative Mind One of the three Functional Minds. It is the fastest and acts to defend you. It asks, "How can this harm me? How can this limit or stop me?" It is also the power to just say no, stop something, or reject a direction of action. . I think also I just had enough patience to wait out and any negativity, insecurity, doubt that I have been going through and that eventually 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. blessed me with a return of faith and confidence in my self belief in this path and love for the Sangat.

YB: They do not know what is all about.

(Students Laugh)

YB: Tell your story in your own words.

Student: Well, I think what the Siri Singh SahibSiri Singh Sahib Honorary title given to Yogi Bhajan to indicate his role as spiritual leader of Sikh Dharma in the West. His complete title within Sikh Dharma is Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji. must be referring to is that, actually I have been waiting for years to tell this story. I was just wondering when you’d ask me. It must be about my husband and his, Shaktipad. After we moved to Phoenix my husband went back to school to finish his B.A and then he decided that he would get his Masters degree in Counseling, so it was very interesting, it was about a week after he started going through the counseling program that he would come home and he would say, “You know, this counseling program is so terrific, how come people in 3HO can’t do this kind of stuff, and you know this, this intellectual,” what he was saying was, this intellectual way of figuring things out, just seemed so much more perfect than relying on faith and I saw how things were starting to go, but I was really, you know, there was no talking to him. I figured it was a, (?) as the years of self 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 would fill him up or get other people to talk to him and he’d be very inspired, and within half an hour of talking to them it would be like it all drained away and he would just be in his doubt and duality. So I really started praying for him and I would ask everyone I knew to pray for him too and I believe ultimately that is what pulled him through. So we were on this way for years, I just got really boring and I mean everyday was the same thing and then he said, well, now, he didn’t want to leave, he didn’t want to stay.

So I said, “Please, just finish your degree and then leave. If you need to leave, if that’s what you need to do, if you need to go, find out what you need to do, that is fine, we just make a decision.”

So he finished and he finished his degree and then that weekend he said, “Well, I am going.” I was just really annoyed because he actually was going. So he went and it was perfect, he went to live with his parents for the summer and then probably he had no better place for him to be to realize how little the world offered and so he was there and it was wonderful when he left, it was so great I just took all the pressure off and what I realized was that I ultimately, it was the Sangat that I was married to and if he had left, okay, you know, I, I mean, I didn’t miss him at that point, because it was so nice to not have that weight on me, but you know I really felt for him that here he was going through all this confusion and pain and I realized in my self how lucky and how blessed I was to be with everyone in the Sangat and everyone was just great and it was a real renewal for me to just be able to have all that energy that I used to pour into him to be able to pour into SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. and 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 serving everyone else.

So meanwhile, there he was in Connecticut, you know, with his family and what happened with him, how his faith survived, was that SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. Jeevan Singh of Brooklyn used to have lunch with him a lot, he used to go into the city and he just gave him a lot of love and a lot of support and he never pressured him and then, and then (?) 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. ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. Singh said, “well, have him come up to Millis,” and I guess he must have been ready to just let go through, let go his duality and let go all the things he was going through, because in one weekend he called me and he said, “Well, I am going to move to Millis for forty days and then I will come home.” I mean, it was, it was like all of a sudden all my prayers and everyone’s prayers had really come to fruition and had changed him, I mean, it was, it was really a miracle. And I wasn’t sure that it was true and I really tested him when he came back and I was really very angry, because of all the things that we have been through, you know, and all how I felt he’d betrayed my trust all these years and then one day he just said to me, “Well, you know, I really think that our marriage was, you know it was all God’s will,” and you know, that just got me totally out of my anger and it was real, it was, you know, real start of a whole new phase of our marriage and it’s just gone up from there, so through that I really learned.

(Applause)

YB: She is not, she is not telling the story, isn’t it?

Student: That is not the one?

YB: Well, what happened is that.

Student: That was my version.

YB: Okay, well, he was the teacher and he fell very sick and to comfort him, we shifted him to Arizona because of the weather and the (?) circumstance right? If I am wrong tell me on the spot.

Student: All right.

YB: Okay.

Student: You are right.

YB: (?). I mean, he came and he started thinking that he comes from very rich parents and what is this all (?) and whole thing is wrong and it is ridiculous and what is this going on is not real and what he is doing there, so he went to college and started doing the degree and all that and all of a sudden I have seen people who go to the university and college and they drink lot of Coca Cola or something I do not know what?

Student: Tab.

YB: Tab and they go weird, so it was that kind of thing, it was hibernation, hyperventilation, hyperventilation, high situation, God knows what it was. And the guy used to be very loving and extremely affectionate and very solid and it’s kind of come through person and it was just, we do not know where that was, it was hundred and eighty degree and she will come to me in tears and yee, yee (?).

I said, “Stick around.”

She said, “To what?”

I said, “There is nothing.” I said, “To nothing, stick around to nothing.”

And she said, “Are you sure?”

I said, “Well, if I am not sure, you be sure, so keep going.”

And then he thought that, she has to be angry, negative and prejudiced, he wanted her war and he did everything around her put into, lead into her roots, forget about putting the oil, lead into her roots. But God knows what she is made of, she just kept going and she will look at it like this, “Ya Ya, I know, I know,” that is all, said nothing much offending. One day she came to ask me the painful counseling which I had to give to her, it is so much that even I had tears in my eyes, I couldn’t say her anything, she was so much in pain, it reflected in every pore of our life, she was so miserable, and I said and I said to her, I said, “Well, you know, you know the word keep up?”

And she said, “Yeah!”

Mein kaha, “This is the time it applies to you.”

And that was all the total session was about and it went on and on and on and on, all of a sudden somewhere the gear switched, and finally what I heard of him, he said, “I am here.”

I said, “Where?”

And he said, she smilingly said, “He is all right. Don’t tell him anything, he is all right.”

And that is when a woman is determined to be a woman, to be, to be, only beyond woman is God, so within the realm of woman, everything is and this is a one proven factor, which I wanted to present you as a sample, is it all right.

Students: 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. .

(Applause)

YB: There is somebody else in this thing sitting, she is now married to a chiropractor, she lives in Millis and she is my very sweet darling daughter, I’ll ask her to come right now, you know her all, for her smiles and, there was one day when three girls came to me and they were all brought by parents and one stick around and she has a story to tell.

(Claps)

YB: Isn’t she pretty?

Student: (---)

YB: Well, I know you are here, all the time, you know normally I don’t look at you, because we are so much in love with each other, we go mad and start hugging and that is not, that is not these days very much required according to the protocol, so I just want to avoid that, you know what I mean. First of all, I am very sick and they say, “Look this sick man is living off on other energy.” Though you are my very darling daughter and secondly we love each other very much and I do not know who is the friend and who is the enemy and who is going to interpret how, so basically that is called political reason, otherwise I know you are here, you are not here sitting in your body, you are in my heart, that is why I am alive.

If Niranjan can sit down and chant one Jap Sahib and turn the death away, if that can be so simple, you think your prayers have not worked? All right, here you go.

Tell them when you came with all those hair, flowing hair and all that.

Student: I know there is a lot to tell but I don’t know where to start.

YB: When you came first day. Three of you.

You are happy now?

Student: Yeah.

(Students laugh)

YB: There is a mom, your mom is here?

Student: Yeah.

YB: Can she stand up.

(Claps)

YB: You believe she is happy?

Mom: Yeah.

YB: Better than you?

Mom: (----)

YB: Well, I think you brought her to me, I did not know what you thought of me at that time, but one thing I knew in her, when I told her ‘I love you,’ she believed it. There was only one communication between two of us, I said, “I love you.” I said three of them at the same time, but two didn’t believe, one believed. And this is a living story of a belief and I said it in a ordinary way, I said it in the same way, I didn’t put any adjective or a adverb to it and I said that in that one line, I love you, she believed it and from a little girl with all the pain, all the prejudice, all the neurosis, whatever you can see exist in the science today, known to the man, she knew all and she has the answer of all and gradually one by one, everything dropped. It dropped, it dropped so many times that I couldn’t believe it, it was just, she just dropped all that. And still we believe each other, we love each other right, that’s true.

Student: Yeah.

YB: Yeah, it is true, it is exactly as true. And the fact is, when I will drop this body, I will be free, I will not be limited, then I will prove her how much I love her, I am at that time very limited, I am beaten up, I am very restricted and I am not enjoying what I am.

So long how many of you have read my poem, that “Prisoners of the rib cage,” that is my true story, that is exactly what I feel, that is exactly what I am and I am very limited, so I am not telling you I am perfect in any form, shape and fact. I am a prisoner of the rib cage and I live breath to breath, it is a very begging situation asking for the breath and living off it. I mean, I am living off God, what is the difference being a God and living off God, is the difference which you are seeing right now. And moment I will be released of the Rib Cage I will be as free as I could be and I should be and that is a kind of anger that I do deserve that freedom. This time I am going to get out. But I never knew Jap Sahib exists and I never understood why Niranjan perfectly sings it. There was nothing and one day I was sitting in my living room and I was being advised what to eat and my blood pressure is wrong, my sugar is wrong, my this is wrong, my whole thing was wrong. I was totally Mr. Wrong, you know and I said, “I am not going to die, doesn’t matter what happen.”

And she said, “What, I said you are the one who didn’t let me die or I bring the harmonium and sing it, I want to hear it again.”

And she satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down and sang in a very humble way, she is a very, very catholic, Italian catholic and she has that feeling of a guilt, why she did that but I love that too.

Power of the prayer is not limited, it is infinite, it penetrates, it brings heavens to earth, the blessing drip like drops, the rule of the earth, the beauty of the earth, the rain comes with it, it is the weaving of the width and the length in which the God answers, the angel rejoice and all the faculty, Dev ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. and Dainth ShaktiShakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. , the divine power and evil power, the dark forces and the light forces weave with each other, darker are the clouds, heavier is the rain. And in that essence one thing grows.

Do you know what is the gift of this planet? Can you tell me that, anybody knows? Anybody. Why this little planet earth which is the planet of senses, Karam Bhoomi, they call it Karam Bhoomi, the land of the KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. , where you have to grow 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. , that is how it is. Do you know what is the gift of the planet earth?

Student: (----)

YB: No, no, no, no, fragrance, there is nothing on the planet earth more than God but the fragrance and when you love the fragrance of the compassion and kindness reaches every heart, limited is may be 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. and little may be your intelligence and physically you may be very remotely not, (?) am I right, and this is the Italians, they love me and they sing that song, what they sing, they have very typical sound to that song, Ap Saye Hua Sache Ka Sach, they have totally mastered that song, it is unbelievable. When they sing, there is nothing to it and there is nothing like it and there could not be anything like it, so…

What I am trying to explain to you, it is the faith, which moves the mountains otherwise stones are heavier for a man. You don’t believe your self. I don’t know you are poor or you are rich, I do not know you are great or you are small, how great you can be that small you can be. One thing cannot be destroyed, even by God. You know one thing? This Almighty God you talk about is, so big about it, we have books and we have universities and we have so many people and talk about God. This God is nothing, this God is so little.

I tell you the story of this big God, big macho God, Almighty God, you all praise Him and love Him and all that. This God before a most illiterate man, Gawa, gawar means who has no wisdom, nothing, Thana, whose BaniBani Literally "Word", Refers to the Word of God contained in the Sikh Sacred Writings; Banis refers to Sikh daily prayers. is in Siri 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. GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. , to which we all bow. This Thana was asked by the punditPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. , that I am going to go out for few days and these are the Thakar, those round stones, he said, “These are the Thakars, you should bathe them, you should feed them and then you should eat and do it very sacredly.”

Now believe it or not, this man believed, he brought the food he asked the thakurs, “Please eat.”

Well, stones don’t eat food.

He satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. down there, he said, “Look, Thakur, punditPundit A Hindu who is learned in scripture. told me you eat okay and I am not going to eat till you eat, so you eat please.”

So one day went, ‘please, please, business,’ second day, he said, “Hey, you know, get out and eat, this is no good getting into a stone and why you are bothering me, I am also a stone head, don’t worry about it, I am not going to change.”

And nothing happened. Third day, fourth day and fifth day this God couldn’t remain in stone, came out and little hand came out to take that food, he caught it, he said “Shame on you, you coward, you are getting into, come out whole thing.”

Came out, no signs were used, no 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. was used, no scripture was read, nothing. It was pure belief, pure faith. Just that and he became such a saint, such a man of God, such a true saint that everywhere in the world he is remembered and there is a ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. of Thana in Siri Giri GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. to which we bow, to which we read, to which we recite.

So I am trying to ask you something, if you have any misunderstanding that you are holier than thou or you are deviller than thou, it is your judgment, nothing is good, nothing is bad, thinking make it so. The only thing which works in the world is the belief, belief system they call it. It is the strong, it cannot be destroyed. Faith cannot be destroyed, man can be destroyed, God in the form of Almighty can be destroyed, but God the supreme cannot be destroyed, because that is faith.

There is a Sacho God, Macho God, Sacho God means true God and Macho God is God the God, you know. One is western, one is eastern. Eastern God is Sacho God and western God is macho God, so between the two Gods, there is a supreme God, so I mean, you understand, what I am saying, so the story is told so many times, but I am very grateful to you for your prayer. Your prayer was right and now we want to do it in a neutral form and call the first we did in a 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. right, that is called and now we are going to do it in a very simple.

Lock your thumbs left and right over, put your finger correctly and sit straight, now that is all we want to do. It is called coming through, now this time neutralize yourself, it is five o’clock here, what time is Amritsar.

Students: (----)

YB: Still it is a very beautiful time, right transport yourself mentally (?)…

You know, one thing I want to teach you, this is what I, that is why I wrote that poem ‘Prakrama.’ The idea to read that poem Prakrama is that they can take away the Golden Temple, they can tell us we cannot visit India, they can tell us we cannot visit Punjab, they can tell us we cannot visit Golden Temple and they do tell us. I mean to say, our people, hundred fifty children are there in Mussoorie, they cannot visit Golden Temple, period. We are not allowed to, we are foreigners, we are aliens, we cannot go. But one thing they cannot do. They cannot take away from our mind the right to visit. You know, it is, it doesn’t take any visa or any permit and takes quick, so let us do this today, let us now, it takes ten minutes to complete this ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. , I have looked at the watch, exact ten minutes. So what I am trying to explain to you sit in the posture, neutralize yourself, and let your mind take you before the Harimandir in the Golden Temple itself wherever you ever satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. or you can imagine you satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. , if you have not visited, don’t worry about it.

Imagine a Harimandir of your own, built yourself right now. Built it with your mind, a Golden Temple, a temple of gold and marbles sitting in a blue water, just imagine this, imagine a temple made all upper story of gold and underneath of marble, gold represent the sun and marble represent the moon, it sits in the water, Pitha, father, it sits in the father, it is a energy lingam, it is the energy wavelength of the earth plates which meets at that point, it is from earlier than the Lord of Rama found it and later on Rajni’s story found it. It is not a temple of mine and yours, it is a universal energy center of this planet. It stands high in the eyes in the light of God. So just make your own temple, don’t depend on the planners, the engineers and the construction, so built it now, built that mental temple of God of gold and marble and sit in it. In your own mental temple. Agreed? All right and fold you hands right before your heart, neutralize your energy and humble and let us go.

(The tape ‘Ab Jann Upar…’ is being played)

YB (Over the song): You are sitting this in the Golden Temple and singing.

Blend with God, in your own temple of gold and marble.

(The tape stops)

Thank you, now tomorrow we will have another tape, ‘Prabujo toko laj hamare,’ and just to take the taste, we have fifteen minutes, after that, Uma Bharatiji is going to talk to us, you know, she is right among us, so I will ask BhaiBhai Brother.

YB: Okay, I didn’t tell you something very beautiful in my life, I am not going to stand between you and Uma JiJi Soul; used as an endearment or sign of respect. , but I want to tell you something, it’s called confession before the priest. This is a fact of life.

One day I was sitting in Toronto in the family of my relation, they love me even today, they respect me too much, I was hungry from last three days, because everything they cooked in house they put either meat or the leftover, so I couldn’t eat. And that day it was so painful, that you can’t even believe it, I was on the verge of almost telling myself what is happening. First time in my own life I experienced a doubt, because I heard a telephone in which not only lot of lies but extreme insult was hurled at me as the dam broke and swept all over and these were my relatives, they were my friends and these are the people who in India used to come and touch my feet. Just understand the contrast. They were lying, they were abusive, they were spreading lies all over anywhere and whatever.

Just to console myself that day I decided, I’ll read my Banis again, so I went down in the basement, where they have put my bed, I still remember that old sofa, which spring used to get into my butts and used to bleed and this lady told me that in one tub where you wash your clothes, I can go bathroom, and other I can sleep. I’ll never forget that day. I have never seen a insult in my whole life and I pray to God that no born of a woman should go through that insult again, remember that.

And when I did my Banis, that was the first day I read my Banis all in one row, JapjiJapji , Japji Sahib The Song of the Soul written by the First Sikh Guru, Guru Naanak Dayv Jee. Saadhana opens with a recitation of Japji each morning at 3:40 am. A mantra, poem, and inspired religious scripture composed by Guru Nanak. Japji Sahib gives a view of the cosmos, the soul, the mind, the challenge of life, and the impact of our actions. Its 40 stanzas are a source of many mantras and can be used as a whole or in part to guide both your mind and your heart. , ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. Hazare, Jap Sahib, AnandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. Sahib, RehirasRehiras One of the daily prayers of the Sikhs, recited in the evening which adding energy to one's being. , Kirtan Sola, Paintees Akhri, this and that, all the eleven Banis I read in one sweep and then when my(I) opened the book, the HukamHukam An order from the Guru. came, ‘Prabjot toko Laj Hamare,’ and after taking the HukamHukam An order from the Guru. , I said, “You are just cruel God. Why you say so? At least you should have given me more pain, I believe in the HukamHukam An order from the Guru. , it is my faith and what is this joke,” moment I said, “What is this joke?” My name was called up, somebody were yelling and screaming my name.

And I said, “Okay.”

I immediately finished the whole thing, kept my gutka, put it in my bag, I came up, “What is it?”

“There is a telephone, long distance call for you.”

The call said, “Well, there is a ticket waiting on the airport, prepaid ticket for you to come to Los Angeles and why you are not ready?”

I said, “What is wrong with you? I mean to say, I am ready, I don’t know anything about it.”

“Well I talked two days ago…”

The whole thing went. And next day I was on the plane in the morning and I left that living hell forever and that is what this ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. is about. When it is recited it reminds me.

And maybe sometime in your walk of life you may face the same environments, the same circumstances and same situation, I faced. It is very easy to face it in the hands of anybody, any enemies, but it is very shamelessly painful, shamefully painful to face in the hands of those who call they are your relatives and specially those who are your blood relatives. Do you understand what I am saying? But at that time, this ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. came to turn the life around. I am always grateful, and tomorrow we are going to chant this, with the 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. MantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. of,

‘Aad Guray Nameh,

Jugad Guray Nameh.’

And they will have enough time to make the tune and make the tape. So tomorrow we will meet exactly at three thirty, but I expect you to come three o’clock, because I do not want to take away from you the chances of meeting, talking and explaining this crisis business we are into and the subject I like to discuss tomorrow with you is the Faith and the Crisis, it’s my very, what you call it, familiar subject, because I have gone through it.

So I now ask Uma Bharathi to come and give you talk, she is going to explain to you, she is not in a position to speak in English and she don’t like to do that and today, Meenaji is not here to translate, so I will ask Bibi Harbhans Kaur to speak few English words to just be a side support, there is not problem to that and that is how we should do. I will ask Uma Bharathi to please come and Bibi Harbhans Kaur to be a supporting translator, she knows the English but you know that is her system, I can’t break (?).

Uma Bharathiji: I think yesterday, I was talking about, what was the subject?

Student: Love.

Uma Bharathji: Love, 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 I think it was something.

Student: Woman.

Uma Bharathiji: Woman, yeah. And actually it is my habit when I start giving my talk I cannot be limited by time and it is okay with Indians because if we announce that I am going to speak for one hour and sometime I speak more than one hour, some time two hours, two and a half and then I go on explaining, explaining, then I come back to the same topic again. I think now I remember that yesterday I was talking that I wanted to be a traffic policeman and it just came in my mind that this was the topic and I liked that traffic policeman because he could stop the buses, the cars but later on I found out that he is not that powerful.

But sometime I saw him, actually that policeman, that traffic is very near from my house and my district in Madhya Pradesh in the State of India, Madhya Pradesh and there I saw him, then one day I was driving there, I drive in India, and I saw that traffic policeman near the paan shop. He was not on his duty. He was in his uniform, he was on the duty but he was not doing his duty, because my town is very small and there are very few cars, few vehicles, few buses, so when he saw that he is free, no car is coming, no bus is coming, then he left that traffic and it was the shop, it was very near, so he went to the shop and he started eating paan and I came driving and I saw him that he is near the paan shop, then he saw me and I saw him, I stopped my car very near and I asked him that “You are on the duty and how come you are eating the paan here, you should be there near the traffic, why you are here?”

He said, “That is fine, because I am on my duty, if I see any car coming I will go there and you don’t worry about it, because I will be paid for eight hours, so I don’t care about it.”

So, that time I thought, that because he was on the duty, so though he left it for few minutes and he went to the paan shop, but because they were his duty hours, so even that eating paan was also included in the duty hours, so the same thing I was saying to you that while you are serving others, looking after somebody who is sick, or looking after your guest, when you are doing it and then sometime you don’t find anytime for the 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. , but this will also be included in the 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. , if you think that you are in your duty, you are always in your duty, then looking after the guest, looking after the children, it will also considered a 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. or it will also considered SamadhiSamadhi The state of consciousness in which the mind is free from reacting to thought waves. . But when you think, because your thinking is more important.

My favorite topic is Gita, in Gita, I think you must have read or heard about Bhagavad-Gita, it is a question and answer of Arjun and Lord Sri Krishna, so in the third chapter of Gita, Arjun is asking Bhagwan Sri Krishna, that, “If you are forcing me to kill these people, who are my relatives, my cousins and I don’t want to kill them, but you are forcing me to do it, then isn’t it a sin and if it is a sin, then I will be a sinner, then I will go to hell, and then if I do something good, I will go to heaven, then where is salvation, where the Nirvan comes, how do I attain Moksh, I will be in this chain coming and going, coming to hell, going to hell, going to heaven, then how I will free myself from all these things, I want the freedom, I don’t want this 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 the result of the karmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic.

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 because of the result you are going to hell or to heaven or to out.”

Actually some people always ask me, “Is there any hell? Is there any heaven? If it is there, then where it is? Why science doesn’t know about it? Why the scientist hasn’t found it out? And is it just a mythology or it is a real existence?”

Then I told them that “You don’t worry about the hell or the heaven in the sky, you should worry about the hell and heaven in your real life. When you are shouting, when you are angry, when you are getting mad, when you are burning inside, you are in the hell. But when you are in love with somebody, you are peaceful, you are meditating, you are talking to somebody, you are in heaven. You don’t have to die to experience the hell and heaven, you can experience it here.”

One day in Punjab in Patiala a lady took me to her house, she said that “I want you to come and take food.” Indian people love to feed saints and they love it to such an extreme that sometime from the dining table, you have to go to direct to the hospital, because, they force to eat, this their love, showing their love, eat, eat, eat and die, that is what their love.

So that lady took me to her home, she said, “I wanted to take food at my house,” I said, “Okay I will come.” I went to her house, I saw there was only her husband and she, I was surprised that there was nobody, because in India we have joint families. I said “You don’t have son any children?”

She said, “I have thirteen children.”

I said, “Where are they?”

She said, “I have ten sons, three daughters all of them are married.”

I said, “Why sons are not staying with you?”

She said, “Actually I don’t get along with my daughter-in-laws.”

I said, “That is fine, then what about son-in-laws, why don’t you get along with them.”

She said, “Actually we had some fight with three of them, so nobody likes to come to our house.”

I said, “Okay, but why there is no neighbors. Because whenever I visit somebody’s house it is crowded, because all of them want to see me, so why don’t I see any neighbor?”

She said, “Actually we don’t like to get along with them.”

I was shocked, I said, “What about your in-laws, where are they?”

She said, “They are very old and my mother-in-law, she is always coughing and I really don’t like that and my father-in-law is always sick, so he isn’t also there, here. I have given them a house and they are staying there.”

Then all for a sudden the wife, she went to the kitchen to bring some food for me and there was a beautiful temple in the house and they showed me the temple. And then I asked the husband, “I want some water, could you call your wife?”

He said, “I can’t.”

I said, “Why?”

He said, “We are not on talking terms from three months.”

And then I was surprised and when I was leaving their house, they asked, “How did you like our food? How did you like our temple? How did you like our house?”

I said that, “There is a temple in your house, but your house is not the temple, you shouldn’t try to make a temple in the house.”

You should try to make the house into a temple, you should make it a temple, don’t try to make a temple in the corner of a house, whole house should be a temple and it will be a temple when there will be forgiveness, when there will be peace, when there will be harmony, you people are fighting with each other and you are saying that you have temple and the statue of God is there, then poor God, actually God is punished in these kind of houses when He is there, because all the people are fighting. They are offering Him fresh flowers with rotten mind and rotten heart, then what is the use of those flowers, they are putting the light there and there is darkness in the heart, they are putting this agarbathi, what you call this agarbathi?

Student: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: Incense, in the house is smelling, so the heart is smelling so bad, the thoughts are smelling so bad and we are putting that agarbathi there just to give Him a good fragrance, the fragrance should come from the heart, the flowers, actually the heart should be the fresh flower and we are offering sometime, some food, sweet things like halwa, laddu, pedda, something like that but there is no sweetness in the nature. I think the sweetness of the nature should be offered to God. That thing He will find more tasty, the fresh flower of heart should be offered to him.

So Bhagwan Sri Krishna wanted to answer, because Arjun was very scared, he didn’t want to fight, he was scared of hell, he was scared of heaven, he didn’t want to go anywhere, he didn’t want to kill his relatives, he was too much attached to them, he said, “I won’t kill them, why you are forcing me, if you force me to kill them, I will kill them and because of the killing the result will be I will go to hell or I will go to heaven. But I don’t want to do it.”

Then Bhagwan Sri Krishna gave a very good answer, He said that, “If I raise my hand,” this is not the explanation of Bhagwan Krishna, I am explaining, it is my own explanation of what Bhagwan Krishna said, like, “If I am raising my hand, actually this hand doesn’t mean anything, but if I want to, if my feeling about raising this hand is to bless you or to slap you, or to assure you, then there is a meaning. Action don’t have any meaning, feelings give meaning to the action, that is what Bhagwan Krishna said, that, “If you feel that you are fighting for your own selfishness because you want to be a king or because you want to attend the kingdom, then you will be punished, then you will go to hell or heaven, but if you feel, that I am doing it because I should do it, because it is my duty and actually I am not doing it, it is being done by me, then it is a big difference,” that is what I was explaining to you yesterday, then how it happens, because people say that if you do 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. then the result, the fruit 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. and then the chain is there, then there is no salvation, but there is.

When I went to Illinois, St. Louis there I saw the big arch, big steel arch, it was so beautiful, I was very young that time, it was six seven years ago, I was wearing a very beautiful Salwar and Kameez, Churidhar Pyjama, the one you wear, but it was in orange color, it was silk, Indian silk, there was a meeting of the people who took part in second, world war second, the soldiers, the old soldiers, they were having a meeting and I think the Governor of the State was also there and some very important people were there, they saw my dress, they liked it, they came to me, old people, they started hugging me. Actually I love very much old people, because I know they are going there and God will ask them, ‘how did you find Uma Bharathi,’ and they are going to give my report, so I am very much, very nice to them, because I know that they will give my reports, so I get along fine with the old people, if they are very old, I love them so much, because they become like a baby, like a child and I love them so much, I became like a mother to them, so the old people, old ladies, old men, they kept on hugging me, kissing me, giving me small books, or small things, then there was a man with me, who took me there, he was an engineer, he had a camera in his hand. The old man asked him that, ‘take some photographs with this girl and this is our address because we don’t have camera, so please send those photographs to us,’ and then after that we went home in the evening, then all the members of that engineer’s family, they also said that take some photographs with Uma Bharathi and then the man was shocked. So I saw a surprised look at his face, and I asked, “What is the problem?”

He said, “The number of the camera is increasing, because I put the film and it was only for twenty four photographs and now it is more than that, so what is the problem.”

I said, “Open it.”

He said, “If I open it, it will be “Karab ho jayage.”

YB: (---)

Uma Bharatiji: It will be destroyed, then I said, “No, if it is happened that is fine, but try to open it.”

He opened it and he found that there was no film in it. The camera was not loaded, actually he forgot to put the film in the morning, so he did not load the camera and he kept on taking the photographs and I told him that “It is not good, see you took all the photographs of mine that is fine, but those people, they had given you the address and they will be waiting for my photographs, what these people will think, it is not good, now what to do.”

I said, “Okay take some photographs of mine, and just send them and apologize and say you made a mistake.”

But I was surprised I asked that fellow that, “How come, how it is possible that you took my photographs. I could see the noise of the sound of the button, when it was pushed and I could see the flash, but why the photograph, there is no photograph, there should be a photograph, because I could see the flash, I could see the sound of that button pushing, then why the photograph didn’t come,” because I am not very much educated as I told you, actually I am not educated at all, so I don’t know anything about these methods, these camera, and television, so I asked how it happened, I could see that the flash, I could hear the sound of this button pushing, then why there is no photograph? Then he told me. “The film was not loaded inside, so camera was working, flash was there, you could hear the sound of the button, but because the film was not there, so there was no negative, that is why I cannot make any positive, there will be no film, no photograph, because the camera was not loaded.”

Same thing Bhagwan Sri Krishna said to Arjun, that, “When you are doing something, but if the film of the ego is not loaded inside, then you are doing it, but you don’t.” (?)

YB: You shall not bear the fruit of that action.

Uma Bharathi: Because the film of the ego is not loaded, you don’t feel that ‘I am doing it,’ the film is not there, the problem is the film, which is inside always loaded, you are feeling I am doing it, I am looking after the whole household, husband and wife they are fighting, husband is saying, “What do you know, you know how to earn money, you know how to look after these worldly affairs.”

The wife is saying, “You don’t know how to look after the kitchen, you don’t know how to look after the children, you don’t know I am doing more.”

Wife says, “I am doing more, it is me who is the boss of the family.”

Husband is saying, “No it is me who is the boss of the family.”

Sometime husband and wife they both are fighting and they come to me, ask me what to do, so first thing I said that “Look I have no experience, because I was never married.” First thing.

“Second thing is what I am saying you will have to listen and you will have to follow.”

They said, “Okay we will follow.”

Then I asked, “Okay what do you want, Peace of Mind or ego, if you want ego then peace, let peace go to hell, you just have your ego, keep on fighting. And if you want peace of mind, then accept anybody as a boss, to hell with him or her, what is the problem, if he feels or she feels that ‘I am the boss,’ and if you have the peace of mind then what is the problem.”

So the ego, the film is loaded inside.

Bhagwan Sri Krishna says that, “When you are doing this fighting, but you feel that I am not doing it, I am not the doer, then this whole thing becomes a 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. , then you don’t have to suffer, then you don’t have to go to hell, you don’t have to go to heaven, then you direct comes in my heart.”

This is what is written in Ramayana, it is a beautiful chopai. I don’t know how to translate it to you, but it’s beautiful, it’s beautiful, it says a beautiful meaning, it says that the one who commit sin goes to the hell and the one who does something good go to the heaven, but the one who is not interested in hell or heaven, who is interested only in you God and who is in love with you God only, then what do you do with that person. Because he doesn’t want to go to hell and because he doesn’t want to go to heaven, then where he goes, then Bhagwan Sri Krishna says, Bhagwan Ram says, that “He comes to my heart, my heart is there for him, I offer him my heart and I keep him in my heart and I protect him like my own soul.”

So when we are in love with God and when we feel that ‘He is doing everything, I am just an instrument,’ then the whole life becomes a SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. , from morning till evening you are doing the SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. and from morning to, from night to the morning again you are doing the SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. , your night and day, they all become SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. , because you are in the heart of God and He is always protecting you, because you don’t want go to the heaven, because you are not greedy to go there, you don’t want to enjoy all the comforts in heaven, you just want to be near God and when you are near him, then He is always protecting you and this is the life, this is the beautiful life. That is what I always tell people and I don’t know how to put this thing in to their mind, then this life is so beautiful, every moment is being lost, you get up in the morning, now it is evening, you can put billions of dollars, but this day which is lost is not going to come back to you, up, it is now up to you, how you have used it, you used it with love, you started with love, affection, prayer, or you started with abuse, anger, enemy, it is up to you, because the moment, the minute, the second, the date, the day, somebody sometime asked me, “How old you are?”

I said, “I don’t know what to say,” because on my birthday sometime people try to congratulate me.

I said, “Don’t congratulate me, because I am suffering, I am crying, because all these years I have lost, I am not going to get them back and if I made a mistake in my life, I can’t do anything, because I can’t take that time back, now I have to accept it whatever I have done.”

So when we realize it that every moment is very important, every second, every minute is very important and then we realize that we have to make the whole life, the whole 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. , we don’t have to sit, if sometime we don’t have time to sit and do 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. , then we can feel it, that when we are in peace, when we are in love, when we are affectionate then we are doing the whole 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. , this is what I want to tell, very difficult for me to find words, but what I am trying to tell you that I know you are laughing because you want to encourage me, I know that because that is what Yogiji does, he has done to all, that encourage anybody, well I like it, that is why I think I am more relaxed than day before yesterday and then yesterday and if I will continue like this for one month then I may be teaching you English.

(Laughter)

Actually Yogiji is inviting me for the next year, he is not inviting me…

(Applause)

He just told me many times, invitation is a very formal thing and I really want to come (?) I wish I could come, I will have some time, find some time I will plan from now and I will come and stay with you people here for one month and then I will learn the language, both language which he taught you the language of love and this English language.

I will make many mistakes, but actually I am not ashamed of the mistakes because sometime I feel when I was in Rhodesia I was going to meet the Prime Minister there, who was there at that time it was Rhodesia, not Zimbabwe, Ian Smith, so the Indian people they wanted to give some money from Indians to the Government for some cause, I don’t know why, I don’t remember, so they told me, “You better take this check with us we will take you there and you give this check on behalf of Indians to the Prime Minister,” that time I did not know English at all. So they told me, “You have to repeat these few sentences,” so they taught me those sentence but they kept on reminding me that don’t say, “Yuan Ismith as you Indian people say, Ian Smith.”

I said, “Okay, I promise, but remember one thing I will call him, I won’t call him Ian Smith, I will call him Yuan Smith, but I want him to call me Uma Bharathi, he shouldn’t call me Huma Bharathi and if he is calling me Huma Bharathi, then I have all the right to call him Yuan Ismith or anything which I will pronounce because if he can’t say it correct, then why it is my responsibility and my duty to speak the correct English?” So actually that is why I am so confident with you people because I hear you speaking Punjabi, so I feel that if you can make mistakes in Punjabi or in Gurmukhi of the ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. you sing, then I can with all my confidence make any mistake in English, that is why I want to come here next year, so I will be able to learn this language from you people, that is all, that is the thing I wanted to say, I tried my best to tell you, that try make you whole life a 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. by surrender, by devotion, by love, because you are the lucky ones chosen by God through the 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. because they are very few in the world who are chosen by God.

I remember a beautiful Slok from Mandak Upanishad that who is the one who finds God, ‘Naimatma Pravachana labhyaha, Namedheya Na Bahuna Shrutenu, Imevaisha Prabutena Labhyaha, Tashyeish AtmaAtma The soul or finite form of the Infinite in consciousness. It is transcendental in nature, not a product of the mind but a part of pure awareness. It is a witness of everything and can only be revealed through itself. Bibhrunute Dhanunshwam.’

You have read many scriptures, you have seen many temples, you have read all the books published in this world, but even then you can’t claim that I have the right to know God, the person who knows God is the one who is chosen by God to know him, God chooses you to know Him, if He doesn’t choose you, you try your best you can’t know Him and God chooses the man by the 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. to know Him.

‘Imevaisha Prabutena Labhyaha, Tashyeish AtmaAtma The soul or finite form of the Infinite in consciousness. It is transcendental in nature, not a product of the mind but a part of pure awareness. It is a witness of everything and can only be revealed through itself. Bibhrunute Dhanunshwam.’

Who can know God? If God chooses you to know Him, only then you can know Him, if He doesn’t choose you, you can’t know Him, then how you will know, that He has chosen us or not. I think you are sitting here and that is why you are sitting here because you are all chosen by Him, that is why you came here. All the people can’t come there, no matter what you know, no matter what you do, you are a doctor, you are a billionaire, you are a millionaire, you are an engineer, you are a scientist, you are a professor, it doesn’t matter, in the presence of God, in the God’s home, it doesn’t matter, in the country of God, it doesn’t matter, who you are, what you have, it doesn’t matter at all. How many books you have read, how many temples you have seen, how many things you have, how rich you are, it doesn’t matter at all.

Some people told me that ‘I know Gita, I know Ramayan, I have read many books,’ and they feel proud of it. Then I remember, Ramana Maharishi used to say. Somebody went to Ramana Maharishi and he asked, “What should I read, what should I learn, so I can know God.”

Ramana Maharishi said, “First thing you have to learn to learn about God, is that you should forget, whatever you have learned, because this is the only obstacle, this is the only thing which is coming in between you and God, this is the only thing which is not letting you realize God, because you feel proud of what you have learned. So learn about God, the first thing you have to learn is that you have to forget whatever you have learned and when you forget then there is void, a vacancy like in the house it is written, “To let,” and then God comes ‘oh it is empty, now I should come, now I will hire this heart, now I will hire this man, now I will hire this human being, now I am going to rent his heart because it is empty, “To Let”.’

When there are so many things, when He sees ‘it’s overcrowded, there is no place for me, what will I do, if I come here, you won’t recognize me,’ so when the house is empty, the heart is empty, when nothing is there, it’s a vacancy, then he comes,

‘Imevaisha Prabutena Labhyaha, Tashyeish AtmaAtma The soul or finite form of the Infinite in consciousness. It is transcendental in nature, not a product of the mind but a part of pure awareness. It is a witness of everything and can only be revealed through itself. Bibhrunute Dhanunshwam.’

Then He comes and He chooses you and then what happens. Then you don’t have to try anything, just what I say, then you have to make your whole life in 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. , always feeling that ‘I am in love with God,’ and then it is God’s duty actually, it is God’s duty. Then it is not your duty, you have surrendered, you duty is over.

Yesterday a beautiful girl from Mexico she came and she asked me many things about some place and then I was talking about devotion, so I said “In devotion a devotee feels,” actually I am a devotee, devotee of Lord Krishna, “A devotee feels when he says that I surrender to you now it is not his duty to reach him, it is God’s duty to reach that devotee. The devotee is too small, he has not that capacity, he hasn’t got that knowledge to reach there, so he just say, ‘O God I am here and I offer myself to you, whether I am good or I am dirty, I have got anger, I have got every evil thing in me, but even after that, I will sit in your lap,’ like sometime mother is dressed all ready to go to a party and all of a sudden the child comes inside very dirty, dirty clothes, dirty face, and he doesn’t care mother is going to the party or dress, he doesn’t care for all these things, he just sits in mother’s lap. Then it is mother’s duty to clean him. So God is very clean, He is SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. , He is Chitt, He is AnandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. , there is no ignorance, there is no unhappiness, there is no fear of death in God, we fear, we are scared of death, we suffer all the unhappiness, we have no knowledge, we are the ignorant ones, we are dirty but we will sit in your lap.

And if you think, if you don’t like our dirt, then clean us, it is your duty, it is not our duty. Our duty is to surrender you and that is what we have done and now it is your duty, so through this surrender,

‘Imevaisha Prabutena Labhyaha, Tashyeish AtmaAtma The soul or finite form of the Infinite in consciousness. It is transcendental in nature, not a product of the mind but a part of pure awareness. It is a witness of everything and can only be revealed through itself. Bibhrunute Dhanunshwam.’

When we do our duty, then God comes and does His duty, clean us and He makes us as He is, SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. , Chitt, AnandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. and we also become SatSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. , Chitt and AnandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. , that is what I wanted to say, now tomorrow I will be going, though I don’t want to go, but my programs are all fixed and I tried to ring them yesterday, that, “Can I extend one day,” they said, “No, we have fixed all your programs,” so now I have to go there, it is my duty, not I have to, I should go there, so I am going tomorrow and I hope to come back again to see all your beautiful faces, smiling faces, I am really in love with all of you and it is really wonderful to be with you all and it is amazing to see how much Yogiji has changed you, and really how lucky you are, that is what I want to say, how lucky you are that you have found such a 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. who is doing all the duty, father’s duty, mother’s duty, friend’s duty, so I am really amazed and I want all the people to know and I wonder why all the people are not coming but as I told you, maybe they are not chosen and you are the lucky ones who are chosen by God and you have found such a nice 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. , because I also have this feeling for the 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. .

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. is, Gu is darkness, Ru is destroying, the one who destroys all the darkness in you, and He is the real 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. , one day a lady asked me in Vancouver that, “How should I test my 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. ?”

I said, “Look if you have tested your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. , then you are the 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. , you don’t need him, because if you have tested him that he is not your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. anymore, then you are his 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. , because you are above him.”

Then she said, “Then what should I do?”

So I told her that, “If you will keep on testing GurusGuru 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. , then you will never reach anywhere, you won’t find anything, you won’t attain anything.”

Then she was so confused, she said, “Then what should I do?”

I told her, I remind her one thing that, “Remember, never try to know, what your Guruji knows, just try to know one thing, that because of your Guruji what you have known, and that is more important for you than knowing what your Guruji knows and I told her that never try to know that what your Guruji, where your Guruji have reached, try to know where he has taken you, that is more important to you. What he knows, where he is, these things are not important, what is his habit, what does he know, what is his knowledge, the most important thing is what you are because of him, what he has made you, where he has taken you, what he is, don’t try to think about it, it is God’s duty, he will take look after that, you have to know only what you have, he has made you, what you are because of him, where you are because of him, what you know because of him and when you realize, ‘oh, what I am because of him, what I know because of him and where I have reached because of him,’ then he is your GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and he is your true 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. .”

So here I stop anything to continue, maybe next year, or maybe next to next year, my Namaskar, if I have made any mistake, please forgive me, because I have no intention to make the mistake. Just innocently or ignorant because I am very much ignorant of this language of yours, so if I made any mistake by ignorance, please forgive me, I ask your forgiveness because for me you all are the manifestation of God, that is what I believe, for me you are God, and especially you are women, so you are a step ahead God, that is what God has said, that, “PrakritiPrakriti Transcendental Nature. It is creation as we can experience it. It includes mind and matter. It is formed from the motion and interaction of the gunas. It is multi-leveled and evolved from the original consciousness of the Absolute. is greater than me, so in my opinion, a mother, a woman, because a woman is a mother, whether she becomes a mother or not, whether she conceives a child or not but she is a mother to anyone who comes for solace, for peace, for love, for comforts to her, even sometimes she is a mother to her husband, sometimes she is a mother to her own father, sometimes she is a mother to her own mother, so all women in my opinion they all are mothers, because they have this love, the affection, the tolerance, there is nobody else like earth, earth tolerates us, we do the toilet, the urine, we walk on it, so ladies are, women are like earth, very tolerant towards us, so I ask for your forgiveness and for your blessings and for your well wishings for me and I have all my well wishing, I will pray always for you, I will always remember you, I will always think about you, your beautiful faces, they will always be in my mind, your smile, your…

YB: (----)

(Applause)

Uma Bharathiji: Question and answer (?). O my God. All right.

YB: (---)

Uma Bharathiji: Okay ask me anything, but remember that I am not a learned person, okay now ask.

Student: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: Actually arguing doesn’t mean fight, arguing means closing yourself, you can say whatever you want to say, because when you don’t love somebody, then you don’t say anything, you keep it to you, but when you love somebody, then you feel that he also loves me, I also love him, so whatever I will say he won’t mind, because in the beginning when we are friends and we say ‘thank you, excuse me, sorry,’ slowly, slowly, we become friends, then we started fighting, hating, when you are open to somebody and you are really in love with somebody, then you don’t care all these manners that is what I was saying. Did I explain it to you, okay thank you.

Is there anybody else or should I finish here Yogiji, okay, (?)

YB: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: This (?) here, there.

Student: (----)

YB (repeats the question of the student): How the woman knows who she is…

Uma Bharathiji: Actually knowing our own self, there are two ways. If you are knowing on the physical ground, then it is different and when you are knowing yourself on the spiritual ground, so what is the question for the physical size of it or for the spiritual side of it, combined. When you are on the spiritual side of it then you are not she, you are not he, you are just being, so there is not question of knowing who she is or what she is, because there you don’t remain he or she, because you go above your body, above your sex, you are not male or female, you are just you, your being, your real self and when you are on the physical side of it then when you have sympathy you can forgive somebody easily and you have tolerance, affection, love and service.

Actually womanhood is motherhood and motherhood is affection, caring, concern, forgiveness, tolerance and passion, like whole night child is crying, mother is keeping awake with the child, even then she doesn’t get irritated, even then she doesn’t try to slap the child. Here I remember a beautiful saying of Khaleel Gibran, he wrote a beautiful poem, I remember a few lines, “Your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself, they came through you, but not from you, when you remember that they came through me, but not from me, they are with me,” he said, “they are with you, yet they belong not to you, when they remember this thing that they came through me, but we are not their master, we don’t own them.” And then the passions comes, otherwise you were just want to give an answer in a slap, sometimes like mothers do, because if you explain something to a child, child will understand, but you don’t want to waste your fifteen minutes in explaining because you think that a slap of a second can do it, then why should I waste my fifteen minutes and explain you, but if you remember, that they are with you, yet they belong not to you, they came though you but not from you, then the patience is there, love is there, tolerance is there, affection is there, care and concern is there and I think these are the qualities which makes you a perfect woman.

In India, it is a different saying, they say that, ‘With your husband,’ now let us come to the husband side, because it is not only the child, it is the husband also exist and if your husbands come to know about me, that I said only about the motherhood, but not the other side of a woman, as I said to you that wife is also a mother sometime, but in India they say that a perfect woman has to play four parts in her life with her husband, first is sometimes when he is hungry, he is sick, then you become a mother, when he needs you physically then you become like a prosts and when he needs you like a friend, then you become his friend and sometime when he is confused then you become his GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and when you are playing these four parts perfectly, then you are a perfect wife also.

Now any more question, yes.

Student: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: I remember the first question, sorry I forgot the second question, let me answer first question, because again I will forget the second question, so let me answer the first question, then you ask your second one, like you ask me, that how do you explain about God to a child, right? In my opinion the first thing is that child is so innocent, that he himself is a God. So actually he doesn’t need to be explained about these things. When we learn, when we learn about lying, about dirty things, about this dirt of the whole world, the cunningness, the cleverness and all the evils of the world, then we need to know him, but the child is so innocent, first thing, I will come to the second, actually in my opinion you don’t need to explain it to him, but if he wants to understand it and sometimes the child ask these questions, but the first thing what I want to say, that it is very cruel of you to force somebody to believe in God, let him or her realize by himself, let the time come, the time will come when the sun will rise, you can’t make the sun rise at three o’clock in the morning, the perfect time will come and then the sun will rise.

The second thing, if the child really wants to know who God is, then tell a very soft and mild thing, that God is the one who looks after us. Everybody in the world He is looking after and sometimes he can ask where He is, then you can say that He has got two forms; in a physical form He is living in the heaven somewhere, we don’t know about the heaven and in subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. He is inside in all of us, He is in our hearts, and He is watching what we are doing, what we are thinking, what we are saying.

So that is the only mild and soft explanation to a child, because child knows about care and concern only, actually these two things, he doesn’t know what is ignorance, he doesn’t know what is knowledge, he doesn’t know what is peace, because that he has, he doesn’t know what is happiness because that he has, so he doesn’t want to know because he has it naturally. When you know about unhappiness, then you know about happiness, when you know what is ignorance, then you know what is knowledge, the child is so innocent, he doesn’t know what is ignorance, he doesn’t know what is bad, so you don’t explain, you don’t have to explain it to him that what is God because he know only the goodness. He knows only the good things, he is so innocent, that the knowledge is very natural, the happiness flows from him, so actually there child knows only two things-concern and care, that is what he is taking for the parents. So he has respect only for the person who knows how to care and who knows how to be concerned about others, so you can explain that God is the supreme being and He is looking after all of us, He is inside and He is in the heaven also, so where do you want to pray, inside or outside, that is what you can ask the child.

Or anything else ask your child, any other question the child ask, just tell him that He in the heart and subtle bodySubtle Body See Ten Bodies. , He is in the heaven in the physical body and he can say that “Why can’t I see him?” So just tell him that actually to see him you have to go through many ceremonies, many formalities, like the Queen of England is there, but if you want to see her, you have to go through many formalities, and if she is ready for all these things, then he can meet him.

(Laughter)

Student: (----)

Uma Bharatiji: How did I come to this field? Actually I was never in other, I mean, I was always with this, so I can’t tell you the time or the date when I was born, when I was two and a half months old my father died and I was nine months old, so at the age of two and a half years, my mother was crying and that was the time I started explaining to her, that soul never dies, and she was shocked to hear it, because I was too young to say that. So she said, “What did you say?”

I said, “Soul never dies, don’t cry for him, because he is there, you can’t see him physically, but his soul is there.”

Then she asked all the neighbor that “Something has happened to my daughter, maybe ghost or some spirit, because this is how she is talking,” then they all told her to protect me, they said that sometime the strange thing happens and the child dies in a very early age, so don’t let her talk all these things, let her, make her, force her to play and try to suppress all these things which is coming out from her and then she tried to protect me. But at the age of six again I started preaching in the front of my village people and then some people came from the college to visit, some lecture from the college and they saw me and then they took me away, then mother couldn’t do anything and then I started doing it and now I am doing it. I don’t know how old I am now, I feel I am still a two and a half really.

Student: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: Yeah, Sorry. You want to know the difference?

The experience of the 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. .

YB: (----)

Uma Bharathiji: Yeah now I understand what she is saying. I will explain and if you are, if I am saying something else, then you remind me because sometime I go away from the subject.

In my opinion, the GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. is the experience of GurusGuru 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. , all the GurusGuru 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. , what they experience about God through the 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. , that is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. and then 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. is the messenger of God and he is the one who is taking you there, but he never stands in-between you and him and God, he takes you there and then he keeps away from you , so this is 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. , 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. is the messenger of God, he has been there, he is a normal human being, he is like us, he is not something different with horns or with the tails or something like that, he eats, he sleeps, he gets angry sometimes, he likes to take bath, he has all these habits, some people think that 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. should be something very abnormal thing, something supernatural, he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t sleep, we can keep him awake for hours and hours, 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. is a, really, it is a torture, because I have suffered so much because of this people say, “Umaji because you are a spiritual teacher so what, you don’t need to sleep,” I don’t believe in all these thing, they think that we can do anything to her, we can use her as we want to.

So it is not that, 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. is a very normal human being with normal needs like any other people have, but the only difference between the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and a normal person is that 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. has gone there and from there he has come back to take you there. He has experienced all the problems, all the obstacles, all the things on the way, whatever you are going to face and he went there, he reached at the top, and then he came back, because he really had sympathy for you all, he was there and he saw that you all are suffering, so he thought ‘the nectar I am drinking they should also drink,’ so he came back, he thought, ‘the light I have seen, they should also see,’ so he came back, so that is GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and the nectar, the light, the pleasure, the bliss that he is experiencing, he is feeling is the God and when he is coming back and when he comes back and when he tells all his experiences in the world, worldly language, I think that is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. , the experience of the 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. is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. and the experience one is GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and the thing which is experienced is God.

(Laughter)

Actually I made a mistake, God will forgive me, I called Him thing, because I didn’t know what to say, I couldn’t find any word, what I say, now it’s difficult to repeat, because sometime what I say I forget. What did I say?

The experience is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. , the one who has experienced it is the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and the experience is God.

Student: (---)

Uma Bharathiji: Yeah. That is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. . And the who has experienced it he is GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and what they found, what they are experiencing, yeah that is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. , that is God, yeah. Like you are eating sweet, let me explain it to you like that, you are eating a chocolate, or I like very much this ice cream, vanilla, so you are eating vanilla, the one who has eaten it is GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and that ice cream is God and when he says, the words he says, the experience he has about that ice cream is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. . When he says in the words, that is GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. . That ice cream is God. This is how I can explain. Sorry Yogiji I made him an ice cream.

(Student: Laughter.)

It’s all right. Ice cream is milk, milk is white, white is purity, and purity is God.

(Laughter and applause)

YB: (?). Let me tell you in a mystique language in you there is a KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. and in you there is a Soul, the urge of the Soul is what you have to feed through the experience of the Divine. But the earth basically is divided. Between divided and divine we are existing and we do carry away through the knowledge of the one who has walked that land, walked that distance, walked that path and we want to follow the path and the path is not the experience, path is not the city, path is not the hotel, path is not the mayor, path is not the town, path is not the streets. So what we do is, we follow the path, because we believe, the word 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. , ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. Shabad Guru , Shabd Guru These are sounds spoken by the Gurus; the vibration of the Infinite Being which transforms your consciousness; the sounds and words captured by the Gurus in the writings which comprise the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Shabad Guru , Shabd Guru These are sounds spoken by the Gurus; the vibration of the Infinite Being which transforms your consciousness; the sounds and words captured by the Gurus in the writings which comprise the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. GuruShabad Guru , Shabd Guru These are sounds spoken by the Gurus; the vibration of the Infinite Being which transforms your consciousness; the sounds and words captured by the Gurus in the writings which comprise the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. 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. , you go on a freeway, it says, ‘Sacramento four hundred and twenty miles,’ you may not even look at it, you don’t have to look at it, but it is still there, it is always there and it will always say, ‘Sacramento four hundred and twenty miles.’ That is up to you, but if you read that, it consoles you that three hundred miles you have already come and four hundred and twenty miles you are yet to go. You understand? So actually the word 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. is the reflection of your continuous journey where you are at. I always go somewhere, I went to the (?) that day and it said, “You are here.”

(Students laugh)

And I said, “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. .”

(Students laugh)

It was automatic. It was my reflex, I said, “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. , I am here.” Some who can tell you here is the GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and one who tells you to stop, it is the reflection, it is called the Ghosti, it tell you to stop or to move.

Unconcerned, it’s the reflexes and when you come through the experience, I say, “I have been to Sacramento, I know it is the capital of California, at, th, th, th , tha,” that is the ShabadShabad , Shabd Sound, especially subtle sound or sound imbued with consciousness. It is a property or emanation of consciousness itself. If you meditate on shabad it awakens your awareness. Shabad Guru , Shabd Guru These are sounds spoken by the Gurus; the vibration of the Infinite Being which transforms your consciousness; the sounds and words captured by the Gurus in the writings which comprise the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. , that is the word, then you start talking about it, start sharing the experience. The experience of God is also human ecstasy, you call it bliss. Understand? And sometime people talk to you, “What is my relationship with you?” My relationship is exactly what is the relationship with a car, or a bus, when you go somewhere. You pay the ticket, you sit in it and it will tell you ‘(?) has come,’ and you get out.

Carrying you through or carrying you to, is the responsibility of the one experience. Now also it depends upon you and in your belief, whether I can do it or not. There is no public relation and no newspaper which can tell you about it. It is called the language of the soul, sung by the heart and understood by the head. Therefore the head bows to that song of the heart to which soul belongs to. It’s simple?

Student: (----)

YB: I’ve made it little mystical, complicated (?).

Uma Bharathiji: Thank you.

YB: Thank you.

Uma Bharathiji: Should I finish this here?

YB: No, other question.

Uma Bharathiji: Okay.

YB: You are leaving tomorrow, let them have the maximum of you.

Uma Bharathiji: Okay.

Yes.

Student: Umaji, often times it seems that (?) 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. , the spiritual teacher takes the form of male and that women (?).

(Laughter)

Why is it do you think that your soul chose to be a woman at this particular time in the history of human kind.

Uma Bharathiji: I think it is a very old saying that first teacher of the child is the mother, so she has done her job, in the very beginning of the life, when the child starts his life and even the 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. has been taught by the mother, how to walk, how to eat and pray and all these things. But, it is not that, that there were not lady preachers like that, or lady saints. There were many, you can read in old scriptures, like Gargi, Madaitha, oh it is beautiful, Gargi, Madaitha, Maitreyi, Katyayini, there were many, I don’t remember all of the names, (?), Sulba, many names like then in this times Meera Bai, and even now there are many saints everywhere, but you don’t say that to be a saint you have to be a preacher, sometime you stay at home but you are a saint, to be a saint you don’t have to go sometime to the temple, you are looking after all the needs of the house and then still you are a saint. So I don’t believe, maybe in America or in western world you people don’t have lady saints but in India there are many.

What was to say, there was something you wanted to know.

YB: Why you chose this time the body of a woman?

Uma Bharathiji: But the body of a woman has been chosen by many times before, that is what I am saying, it is not a new thing. Yeah, there are many saints in India like AnandAnand Bliss, ecstasy. Mayi Maa…

YB: Eastern computer does not distinct between male and female, western do, it is a western thought, (?) cannot even be administered.

Uma Bharathiji: Not even a minister.

YB: You have seen that (?) above there, when eighteen years I came into America they called a woman in my presence a chick, and I didn’t know what a chick means, so I asked, I thought perhaps there is a something to eat. So I asked him, “Why you call that lady to bring a chick, we are not non vegetarian, I don’t eat chicken.”

I thought he is asking for a chicken.

And he said, “Oh, my apologies, my normal way to say is to call a woman a chick.”

And that day I took a pledge that I am going to make them big eagles and I am going to spread their world, that is where my trouble started, so…

(Laughter)

Uma Bharathiji: Oh that is why she was asking this question. Yeah, many people ask me this question, that how come “you are a preacher,” because sometime when in America some people meet me in the plane or somewhere else, then they ask me the same question and I used to wonder that why they are asking this question, it is a very usual thing in India. In India we don’t make any difference between a lady or a man when you are on the spiritual path, but only, the only place which a woman cannot achieve in India, that is the post of Shankara Acharya four post, she can be a Maha Mandaleshwar, she can be a 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. , she can be anything in the religious field, but only the four post in India, for the Hindu leaders, they are Shankara Acharya, four Shankara Acharya and the reason for that is because of the three or four days of periods because they have to do the continuous SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. and few kind of SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises.

Yeah.

Student: I don’t have any problem with a woman being 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. or teacher, I was asking you in particular, why you feel your soul chose to be in the form of a woman this time, (?) particularly (?).

YB: Why you are not a man, why you are woman, that is exact question you asked?

Uma Bharathiji: It was not my choice, first thing, and the second is that I don’t feel like a woman, I feel that, “I am,” that is it. And the third is that maybe because people say and I can see my body, my whole body, so I know that I am a woman, I don’t feel it, the knowing and feeling is big difference between, so I know that I am a woman, and why I am a woman, maybe God wanted me to be a woman because a woman is sometime, man is cruel, man has knowledge, but sometime man lacks devotion, because a woman in my opinion is very soft and can surrender easily, so a woman is perfect, man is imperfect, because of the man he doesn’t have that softness in the heart. So I think God wanted me to be perfect, a perfect preacher, really.

(Applause)

That is why He made me a girl, a woman. Actually in India a woman is when she is thirty years old, so I am still a girl, because I am twenty six only, running twenty six, I don’t call myself a woman, yeah, but in America, in this western manner of talking I have to accept that I am a woman, but that is what I feel, like Ramkrishna Paramahamsa, when he went to achieve perfection, he started behaving like a woman, even Issa Massi, you could not feel that he was a man, the way he was so soft, so mild, so loving that he was like a woman, like a mother, so in my opinion, that is what I was saying, that man is a step behind, and woman is a step ahead, so maybe God wanted somebody perfect, who had this knowledge and the devotion together. When knowledge and devotion they are together, then the person becomes man and woman together and that is why they become Brahmachari, because they are both, so they don’t need anybody else for that because for the physical relationship you need somebody else, but when you achieve this perfection, then you become the Brahmachari, means the unmarried. Sometimes people ask me that “Why people remain unmarried in the spiritual path?” They become, they remain unmarried, because they don’t need anybody for the pleasure, because they are both in one. They are mother, they are father, the are man, they are woman, they have knowledge, they have devotion, so they can get all the pleasure through themselves, they don’t have to depend on somebody else, that is why they remain Brahmachari and the Brahmachari is perfect only when, when he is man and woman together. Something I feel, I feel like a man and sometime when I am very forgiving, very affectionate, then I feel the difference, what is the difference between me and my brother.

The only experience of a man company I have is my brother’s experience, he is sixteen years older to me and from my childhood he is always with me, only in this trip he didn’t come with me and this time, Yogiji is protecting me, so that is fine. Whether I am with him or I am away from him, he is protecting me, so only experience I have and sometime I feel the difference between him and me, when we are going to forgive somebody, he is not ready to forgive easily, but my heart melts so easily and then I felt that why I am a woman, because God wanted me to be very mild, very soft. If I had only the knowledge, then this softness, where I am going, where I was going to achieve this and maybe I will have to be born again, so I think I am going to achieve all the perfection in my life, that is why He created me as a woman.

YB: Very satisfying, I think by chance we have the Mayor of Santa (?). And he has a pretty wife by his side (?) that day I went for the lunch and I didn’t find why he became so successful, today I know the reason.

(Laughter)

(?) We are going to welcome him and they are sitting on this side, they have come to be with you, you can ask him few questions, if you like.

(Applause)

Would you like to come on stage?

Mayor: Oh certainly.

YB: Mind you, he is mayor by political reason and watches over the city, but he is a very learned and very wise person and pretty very sharp, that is my experience, so I would like to introduce you to…

(Applause)

Mayor: Do you like my shoes?

Students: Yeah! Very nice (?).

Mayor: Okay, I wore especially for you today. The fact that I had a throat operation a few weeks ago, (?) but (?) who is (?). (?) look like this, just like that (?) that’s my preview to you, I knew you will all be in white, so I had my white socks.

(Applause).

I would like to introduce my wife Dian and I would like to introduce my son Jeff.

(Applause)

That, of as much importance is that is the fact that we were invited out here to meet you and to dine with the Yogiji tonight and I just want to let you know as a Mayor in a nearby city how very, very proud that we are of the Sikhs in New Mexico and what you’ve done, I was telling Yogiji last Thursday, “I think you have taught a certain amount of industriousness to some of us in New Mexico who sometimes live the land of mañana little more than we should. As a result many of your enterprises have proven quite successful in northern New Mexico and it is due to the way in which we choose to live in the responsibilities which you accept for yourself and I think it is wonderful that you can do it and feel so good about yourself all day long, I just wish that, I could get the city council to feel that good about me. I think I am somewhat of a GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. and when I say things they should agree, but for some reason I have an inability to get my wisdom and my tremendous knowledge through to these people, so I hope that my meeting with you tonight will perhaps give me a little more enthusiasm and talent to take back to our city council meetings, and I assure you as we go through our trials and tribulations, I will smile as you do and I will act knowledgeable as this gentleman over here and I will get me a turban.

(Laughter)

But mine will be (?), but seriously, thank you very much for us being allowed to be with you tonight, it is my first time, I was born and raised in Santa Fe, but haven’t had the pleasure of coming out here to be with you and I would hope that, that I could do it and my family more often and also I would want to extend all of you I know I see you in Santa Fe many of you, you are also very beautiful too, I don’t know why your men are so ugly and you are so pretty.

(Laughter)

But I want to assure you if you have any need for anything, they are going to get angry at me, (?) something to me later I am sure but, if you need anything in Santa Fe, if you have any problems, you know, we are there to help you and we consider you our people and we love you a great deal, and so we want you to feel very comfortable in Santa Fe.

Yes.

Student: (----)

Mayor: A shuttle to Espanola. Well, I think that is something we need to be working on, some transportation between the two cities, but first, I have to figure a way to just get some transportation in our own little city, people seem to like their own cars in this part of the country and I wish we could get people who rely more on mass transportation and then we wouldn’t have so many cars. I am one of the mayors that wants to do away with vehicular traffic downtown. And just make it a walkway, (?) the only way you can do that is to start encouraging people to perhaps use different modes of transportation and not require streets. I don’t like to smell of carbon monoxide frankly, when I am sitting there on the plaza watching the people walk around and I don’t like to smell the cars, so, I agree with you, we need a bus and we need fewer cars.

Are there any other questions? You want me to raise your taxes.

(Laughter)

I always tell, I told Yogiji the story last week, you know, I am a Mayor but that is not a very important job in Santa Fe. Actually we have a sitting manager that runs our city, and I am supposed to kind of direct policy and I am very unimportant type of person and it was proven to me last week that a gentleman said, “You know Mayor I am having trouble with my garbage.”

Now I said, “But why don’t you call your garbage man?”

And he said, “Well, Mayor, I didn’t want to go over your head.”

(Laughter)

And another thing that happened last week (?) and another thing that happened last week is I went to this grocery store, I was born and raised in Santa Fe and I went to this grocery store, that has been operated by a gentleman who is now on his seventies and who I used to go around during the second world war when I was first (?) these early twenties and he would give me bubblegum and all and we’d become good friends and I went in there to see him one day and he said, “You know, you really get into a big shot now, aren’t you?”

(?) I said, “Yes, sir.”

He said, “Well you are a Mayor aren’t you?”

And I said, “Yes sir.”

And he says, “You are also the State Democratic Chairman.”

And I said, “Yes, sir.”

And he said, “Let me tell you something.” He says, “The number of people that will attend your funeral the day you die is directly dependent on the weather.”

(Laughter)

So always remember that, politicians aren’t too big (?), thank you very much.

(Applause)

YB: You know, we have a beautiful Mayor, wise and sharp, but we know the secret of his total strength, so I will call on the Mrs. Mayor and give her the reward.

(Applause)

So she may remember to keep him in best of the shape, so we can keep him for the best of the time. And for that kindness, why not I do it right here, I know what it is, so, you know, I love to open presents.

(Laughter)

(?), well, well, well, well, and this is for your memory.

Mayor: Thank you very much.

YB: Then you come help.

Mayor: You got yourself in it, I will help you, (?) I knew he could do it.

YB: So I mean, we are very pleased that, Mayor Sam has brought the family and we have established a relationship and we were discussing about God, God couldn’t be anything but zero without His family and the people, the creation is His family. For him to come himself, bring his wife, bring his son is to let you know, thank you. And it’s from his heart, but his head never have swung in to the success in the sense that he is very intelligent and one of the best of all. And I am very impressed with that, and my personal feeling is we want this relationship as good as it is.

So tomorrow there is Guruki’s birthday and we have a pool party, so incase you are very busy, extremely busy and President Reagan wants you for some reason, you may attend that, but less than that I think you should come with your family and with your few friends, we well have a party.

(Applause)

Hope you got this. But we feel blessed, we will continue the class after they go to the ranchThe Ranch Yogi Bhajan's home just across the highway from the Aashram, and site of the Yogi Bhajan Memorial Birthday Celebration. and they will have the round and then we will have a dinner together with them and thank you very much for coming

Student: (---)

YB: Yeah! One minute.

Student: (---)

YB: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. This is for your home, Mayor.

Mayor: Oh that is beautiful. Thank you so much. Thank you very, very much.

YB: And this is the card, oh you should give it something, card at least to the (?).

Mayor: (?). That is beautiful, thank you so much.

YB: Oh very truly, it’s all yours now.

Mrs. Mayor: Thank you so much. We are so pleased and privileged to be here tonight, we were very (?) about the invitation we are truly touched and I must share something as a woman with you, just being here for a few moments and listening to your wonderful speaker, I am going to try to be even a better wife and to cherish my wonderful husband and I will hope to emulate walking and grace and beauty as all of you too. Thank you.

(Applause)
