Historical Notes

' About a hundred year ago in the Western world, the thought that mind is very powerful

thing and it must be looked into and lot of thoughts were brought to the Western world

by they call it theosophical society or something like that, right? Theosophical society. But

basically, Western world stands by the conviction that East is Pagan, they are idol worshippers

and inferior. Whereas in the East, you are untouchable and useless and worthless, so,

that's where East and West do not meet and nobody says it, neither Western say to the

Eastern, you are Pagan, you are useless, you don't believe in our kind of God, neither

the Eastern say that, neither Eastern say to the West not West say to the East, the

fact is inside, if you just make some Western person angry, really angry, really mad, they

say, hah, you Indian, you know, then you realize, 'O my God, look at this person.'

They come down to the nitty-gritty of their turf and these days because of the peace movement,

I am talking to lot of people and lot of Church people come and see me and I see them and

it's very painful, when a minister said, 'Well, there is a situation, how we can guard our

turf.' I never knew this turf business, I said, 'What

is turf?' So now I understand, turf means that their congregation is their county, is

their territory and somebody else is going to share their basket. So they have to guard

it. So people are like sheeps and they have to be around the Shepard. I never understood

that conception, I said, to me Shepard was a conception of protection like guardian angels,

I never knew that it was a territorial exhibition of the force.

Well, when theosophical society brought lot of thoughts, they were so new to the West,

they took lot of things to say that it's dangerous to practice KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all. YogaKundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all. . Because their

idea was the people should not go into any kind of higher scientific or technological

situations, they may messed up. Basically, they acknowledged that the science of mind

in the East is far more explored than the situation in the West, they acknowledged it.

But it was misunderstood, misused and for a longtime now I am watching this television

show, it is called Christ Ministry on the television. The way they sell guilt to people

in America is unbelievable. I was watching the other very good show, they

showed us a very beautiful show and after that about twenty minutes this woman was chiseling

us that send money, call, pick up the phone, do it. And I said, 'What is the different

between the advertisement and her chiseling out, it is the same thing.'

So basically, what the problem is that to run a religion, you need money and to have

money you have to use some gimmick, something people can relate to. Promise of heavens,

fear of hell, love of God, as Reagan these days used communism, your Nicaragua is very

important for him these days, he sells it left and right. Just out of Nicaragua he got

to Granada, that little island you know, it doesn't even exist you can't find it on the

reasonable map but send forces, doesn't care. So when you watch all this, you come to conclude

that people need to be told and guided, self-initiation, self-respect, self-knowledge, self-experience

is still not our turf, if I want to use the same word they use.

Today I was discussing with somebody and he said, 'Well, you do not become personal

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. , 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. says that you need a personal 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 I have to go somewhere

else.' I said, 'Far out.' I said, 'I have very

personal 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 word. It's very personal to me and what a physical 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. can tell you,

what he can do, except say certain thing, that's also a word.'

He said, 'You are right but that was the misconception I had.'

So today, the world has been brought to a very small box, twenty-four inches by eighteen

inches and you just switch on, you can know all about which we are not supposed to know.

But in other hand, you do not know how to deal with it. Now the questions comes to face.

Do we have 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. or not? Answer is we have. So this consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. , does it work

all the time as the same or it changes? It changes. If you are talking to somebody, whatever

you are talking, that doesn't matter. Now understand this thing, it's very technical,

it doesn't matter what you are saying but it does matter from which chakraChakra , Chaakra The word connotes a wheel in action. It usually refers to the seven primary energy centers in the aura that align along the spine from its base to the top of the skull. Each chakra is a center of consciousness with a set of values, concerns, and powers of action associated with it. you are talking.

Kiss is a kiss, you can kiss the mother, you can kiss the girlfriend, you can kiss the

sister and you can kiss the dog. The characteristic of kiss won't change but the attitude will,

there is a different attitude, different feelings, different personality behind every kiss. Same

way is the shake hand. Same way is the inviting to lunch and dinner.

O my God, I had to cough to see this. (Students' laughter)

Isn't that something? Eight hundred seven carats ruby in perfect condition. Right sitting

there in that Adi Aad Shakti , Adi Shakti The primal creative force. ShaktiAad Shakti , Adi Shakti The primal creative force. Shakti The creative power and principle of existence itself. Without it nothing can manifest or bloom. It is feminine in nature. , can you believe that?

So our creative 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. changes, it travels. Exactly to be very similar example

I can give you is like that car, you changes the gear first, second, third, fourth, fifth,

we have seven chakras and one arc line, very important, how we deal with life, how we deal

with a situation. What are the most important things in us? Three things are very important;

our innocent approach, our? Students: Innocent approach.

YB: Very important. Then our honest approach, very important. Then our Divinity, undividedness

of ours. Divinity means when we don't have duality, it's very important and these importances

are not only for spiritual purposes that when you meditate or you are before God, only then

it works, throughout the spread of life these things will put you on the spot. If you are

not a very divine person, you shall not be kind and compassionate. You will not be hesitant

to lie and hide. You will have duality. Duality means, you are not yourself together. Duality

doesn't bother other person, don't misunderstand this.

Some people think, well I have got duality what to you, I am, I am doing things for you.

No you are not doing things for me at all. Because in your duality you are half, three-fourth,

one-fourth, God knows what you are. You need the one pointedness of yourself and when that

one pointedness comes to you then it is your Divinity. Grace is when you consciously, compassionately

put it out. When you think everything is God and you relate to that Infinity and then you

have one pointedness of yourself, then you are graceful. People do not even understand

what is graceful, graceful is like a noble, like fine person, like divine person, good

person, shining, radiant, we are kind of some that conception, that is not true, you are

only graceful when your concept is totally infinite. Concept is?

Students: Totally infinite. YB: Totally infinite. You are only then graceful.

When your concept is divine, you are only divine. You understand the difference? To

be divine is easy. Jesus Christ was divine, that didn't make him Christ. He was graceful

when he forgave those who stuck him on 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. Arjun was divine, he became graceful

when he satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. on the hot plate and kept his cool.

Most of the people who work around me are very upset with me, extremely upset and that

evening I was discussing with one of my very loyal worker I should call her and her attitude

was 'Sir, I am very confused about you.' I said, 'Well, let me know why you are confused

about me.' And she said, 'No, no, no, let it pass,

it is my thing.' I said, 'No, no, no, you got the idea, you

let me know. Why you are so confused?' She said, 'You know, you are so perfect,

you know everything and every bah, bah, bah and then how can you take all this from people?'

I said, 'What do I take? I don't take anything.' She said, 'Take this abuse, take the slander,

take this behavior, why you have to do that?' I said, 'Well, it's a matter of consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. ,

let me tell you something, if somebody misbehaves with me, I am not worried about the misbehavior,

all I am worried about is the communication is going on. It doesn't matter it is a good

or bad.' I say, 'Ever you have a thought and experience above good and bad, there is

some stage too?' There is a state of communication which is above good and, and that is called

ajana. Good and bad is here. But human has to learn to communicate above good and bad.

All right, if you don't understand, let me explain to you in another way, you go to a

dog, just say, hummm' do that, it will start tailing and doing thing and it's all, it's

good, right? So what is the respond? Affection. And if you go to a dog, he say, ya hu and

he put his tail back and runs. What is that? Bad. But if you yell and scream and show a

stick to a dog, it is not going to love you, doesn't matter how pet it is because it is

the animal nature to react, human nature is to act. If somebody yelling and screaming

that does not mean anything. Just understand in your basic concept the person is communicating.

If a doctor is operating on somebody without morphia or something the man is crying, yelling

and screaming, what he is doing, he is communicating his pain, isn't true? So what do you think,

your children get angry at you and do damn or weird things or your wife is going berserk

and or your husband is falling apart or your car is falling apart, what is the difference?

They are communicating with you, car falls apart, it is communicating, it is not being

taken care of, you put the key, it say, gir, gir, gir and stops. You say, 'What is wrong

with you?' It says, 'No gir, gir, anymore.' So you

check her out and you go to other car, get the, put the jumpers and charge the battery

and then you find out my battery is out but you can buy a new battery but when a human

battery is down, you can't buy a new battery. Your strength of life is based on your frequency

of your electromagnetic field, clockwise and anti-clockwise. Your strength of life is not

based what you have learned in college, in university, whether you have blonde hair or

black hair, blue eyes and yellow or pink, big nose or small, Italian or Japanese. Your

strength lies how these chakras work in energy clockwise or anti-clockwise, that is where

your strength lies. If my strength is only me, then forget about it but if my strength

is me in balance and I can be above reaction, then life is real and we are going to have

the example of it, right now let us work it out.

I have to work tomorrow morning with you too. I am on the last edge of my this, Mr. Cold

but want to keep it for one more week with me. Oh yeah because it is good to get rid

of the whole thing I want to get rid of, rather than getting into spring and suffering. So

let us understand how it works, right? Take your both hands like that please in this position

and this is your mouth, right? You follow? You follow this? And just say one word, Har,

Har, Har' (Students chanting, 'Har, Har, Har, Har'')

YB (talks over): And just start opening it, first you do like this. You see this and then

start opening it like that. First this way. (Students stop chanting)

This way, you know, they say open and then start doing this way and keep on saying that,

see what happen, first go straight like this, har, har, har'

(Students continues chanting) Change it. Listen to the sound, see what it

does to you. Go back to this. Stop. (Students stop chanting)

See the difference? Try to concentrate on the delicacy of the matter, when you say,

you are saying the word, it's not me saying. You are saying it and you are listening it

and we are listening, doing it as a group, so there are so many voices but when you say

Har, har like this, these two hands are this way, right and then you are doing this way,

that's all the difference is, see your sound changes, you will see it, just concentrate

on that, okay? Now first let us do Har, Har first way.

(Students chanting, 'Har, har, har, har'') YB (talks over): Right before your mouth it

must meet here. Don't clap but must meet. You are right now, keep up this way. Now change

the hands. Go to the first position. Go to the second position. Go to the first position.

Change to the second position. Relax. (Students stop chanting)

You understand what I am trying to explain it to you? This, this, this is just to widening

the magnetic field because this is the most chi sensitive area. This is the short part

of it, this is the large part of it. Now the other thing we are going to experiment

is, put your hands like this, just block that area. Block that area with your hands, open

your eyes and close them. Okay, relax. Okay now the other funny part you have to

do is, close your eyes like this and open like this and again close and open and don't

do anything, just, just do like that, just like this. It's a very physical demonstration,

just see, open, close, open, close, open, close, open, close, just like that. I know

you have not done it, so just do it, just see what it does to you, keep on doing it.

Arey, it's not magic, nothing is going to happen, not, don't push this on your eyes,

this is, what, did I say, do like this, hah? (Students' laughter)

No. Just like this, the full hand, it sits very well like this and then it's a huh, hah,

huh, huh. Just do that. Look straight, look normal. Funny, you are afraid of this experience

even it's a very little thing and we are not pulling any things from the heaven.

Now put your hands on and stay. Breathe long and deep. Simple, just breathe long and deep.

Just breathe long and deep. Simple exercise just for minute or two more,

it's no big deal, just breathe long and deep. Something I want to share with you and experience,

it's not something, you can go home and talk about. All right, put your both hands on the

navel pointNavel Point The sensitive area of the body near the umbilicus that accumulates and stores life force. It is the reserve energy from this area that initiates the flow of the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. If the navel area is strong, your vital force and health are also strong. , one over the other and now long and deep, close your eyes and deep long breath,

take a long deep breath, long deep breath and let it go, take long, longest breath you

can take, keep on breathing just as you are filling yourself up and then let it go to

the last extend. Don't use force, just brightly breathe in long and exhale long. Simple, exhale,

inhale long, what you call to the last brim to what you can go for, up to that.

I want you to do it voluntarily so that you have something to talk about, something to

feel in your life, what is the idea to come here and not experience, come on, breathe.

Now inhale deep and do what I say, exhale deep, totally exhale and press those hands

on the navel pointNavel Point The sensitive area of the body near the umbilicus that accumulates and stores life force. It is the reserve energy from this area that initiates the flow of the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. If the navel area is strong, your vital force and health are also strong. , as forcefully you can, as forcefully, put your whole body energy,

whatever you have and press hard, press hard, hard. Inhale. Exhale again deep, deeply. Take

it and as much air you can take it out, now press hard. Go ahead, go ahead. Inhale. Exhale

again. Long and deep. Press hard. Really, use the strength, really use it. Let it go.

Inhale deep, relax. All right, I think we have spend in the whole

thing seven minutes, see the difference yourself, when you started, what are you now. Once you

change the energy channel, consciously breathe and use your will, over your mental game,

you can be as good as God. What the three things I said?

Students: (----) YB: Say it loud.

Students: Change your energy channels. YB: Change your energy channels.

Students: Breathe consciously. YB: Breathe consciously.

Students: Use your will over your mental game. YB: You will be?

Students: Good as God. YB: Well we will continue this and tomorrow

fifteen minutes past we will meet at yoga center to do something really good okay?

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

YB (talks over): Now come on, come on now. (Students stop singing)

compassion, creativity and positive vibrations. May you excel and bring heavens in your beings
