Here is a collection of wisdom from Yogi Bhajan.
There is nothing outside of us…
When you want to be successful and very convincing…
You have fashions and faculties in your mind…
The applied mind seeks out the positive mind’s solutions…
Will you die like a little worm…
When you surrender your mind to your soul…
Any man who creates environments to show clarity…
Without vastness and an enriched mind…
We only forget sometimes to be vast…
If you do not understand the mind and its reactions…
There is only one simple fact…
Ego is the very capacity to be finite…
If you cannot practice shuniya…
The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his shuniya…
Those of you who have done it, know it…
The universe is asking you to confirm…
Emotions, feelings, desire, commotion, ego…
Today we are talking about something very serious…
Actually, those who do not have complexes…
How can you get rid of a complex?…
It is that core personality of you…
What happens between God and you?…
Between the third and fourth layers of ether…
The fourth layer of ether is the light of God itself…
The mind will serve you in three ways…
The Mind is your servant to master time and space…
You are never separated from God or your soul…
Which brings us back to sadhana…
You are nothing but a potential living consciousness…
Every normal person thinks, imagines and projects…
If you do not depend directly on your consciousness…
“If you do not find that ground where you and your mind can meet…
“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact…
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…
“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…
“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…
“I say to you today, if God has blessed you with a desire for conscious living…
“When we connect with that integrity…
“The one who works and makes others to work selflessly…
“What is it like to live with this habit…
The attitude of conscious living is to love…
When you come from your consciousness, you need not match those who do not…
When you come from your consciousness
Success, happiness and constant prosperity
When the mind is full of unconscious identifications
Here are a few basic characteristics you should know
Just like the ocean you can feel waves
Water exists in degrees of subtlety
We need to be able to affect the mind
Travel light, live light, be the light
If you positively move the vibration
Golden rays of the setting sun
The cyclone brings the destruction
Out of that comes the art in which man
The soul passes through gradual stages
the tattvas give a condition to the mind
Individuals, through their experience in the world
If the thought that is issued from the intellect
The idea is to just stop. Just wait. Don’t react
Each thought that is produced in the intellect
Whenever you can act in reality
Each action has a reaction we call karma
The intellect is always releasing thoughts
If God wants you to know, God will tell you
If you make your body strong, really strong
A time will come when you shall meet your teacher
In all darkness, there is a light
The pair of opposites do not affect the yogi
There is nothing more powerful than your self
Every beat of your heart is the rhythm of your soul
The greatest power in a person
The moment you open up to infinity
There is nothing good, nothing bad
Any move you make, you must pray
The greatest blunder you can commit
There is nothing God can do better
Dharma is the discipline of living the truth
When we love there are no barriers
The strength of a man does not lie in what he has

To conquer the unknown you must trust
We chant mantras so that ours souls may be ignited
Prayer is the only power we have
The sign of love is that it is blind
God created every individual by its own right
We love our discipline more than our own life
Fools live in fear, a wise man lives in strength
Self-reliance conquers any difficulty
A spiritual man is one who lives for infinity

If you want to progress in your life and grow
When you understand who and what you are
Commitment does not begin anything
Danger is when you are split three ways
Develop your intuition so that the changes…
Challenge doesn’t come to small people
If you can convince yourself that you are limited
Teacher is not a great popular person
Your job is to control yourself
You can see the hand of God working
Any act in the name of God returns 10 fold
Kundalini yoga will dawn on you
The purpose of life is to reach God within you
When the mind is backed by the will
In the Age of Aquarius, the depression and stress on mankind…
If you become your own teacher…
There are two ways to change things…
Where there is forgiveness, there is God
More you give, more you’ll be like God
Meditation is not what you do in the morning
Meditation is not what you do in the morning
You owe it to yourself to be yourself
If you only know one kriya, then share that
Your mind must be developed, artistic, and self-controlled
Experience yourself and all in you
Falling into prayer is the same thing as falling in Love
When you don’t go within, you go without
If you make your body very strong
If a woman sits with folded hands in her lap
you must grow to the point that you glow
The question is, ‘Are you spiritual or are you not?’
Sometimes bringing out your inner best
This is the day to call upon yourself

Enrich yourself with sacredness
Never say things to friends which…
When ego is lost, limit is lost
Love is the ultimate state of human being

When you do not consciously relate to your body
You can have a healthy, happy, holy, wholesome life

When you are calm, quiet and sensitive
Love will always make you wise

Don’t utter words in friendship…
You have come from the Infinite to merge…
Love doesn’t give you anything but a glow
Never let yourself or anybody down
Your biggest enemy is your insecurity
For some, Earth is a five-star hotel
Kindness, compassion, and caring with love is real love
“More you give, more you’ll be like God
If your mind is your control and emotional feelings are your guide
I shall not sell my consciousness
Where does your love die and you fail…
Every beat of your heart is the rhythm of your soul
Love is a self-acknowledgement
