Meditation: NM422 A11020 Coordination of Body Mind by Spirit to Enter the Fall and the Winter Season

NM422 A11020 Coordination of Body Mind by Spirit GUIDED MEDITATION WITH THE MASTER  To Enter the Fall and the Winter Season  Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. – October 20th, 2001

I have called you today, as these nine days are very auspicious. The moon is  crossing beneath the sun. It is a time to sharpen the mind. Why not to do it the  way of the century-old custom? It is not very difficult, and you will be very comfortable in the end.

NM0422 GUIDED MEDITATION WITH THE MASTER –

To Enter the Fall and the Winter Season  31 Minutes  (Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Bring your hands in front of your heart center, with the fingertips touching and the  palms spread.)  “Try to see how the energy moves. You will feel the reality of the body. Inhale deep and ride on the breath, in and out, long  and deep, as honestly as you can. Take your body—the inner being in this body, simply by meditative force. Do not try to  understand that you cannot do it. It is not difficult, but it is a great experience. Pull your mental body out of your body.  Just take it out. Just simply coordinate between you, your environments, your activities and your own preciousness.  Your mental body, when you command it, is very pure, very clear. And it is yours. It is not related to the physical activities,  although the mental body is with you. Things are corrupt only when you are in your physical body and your mental body  is not combined. So, do coordinate—you have that power, and take this out, out of your being. Time is with us, the wind  is behind us and virtuous we are.  It is a very special Saturday. Therefore the Saturn energy in the penetrating form of its being is passing through, irrespective  of any force or any effort. That is why I chose it. And we have a small time window only, that is why I am very quick and  not saying anything. So this breath has to be very long and down to the navel point. Deep in, and hold, and completely out.  The power we have is our virtue. Our virtue is extremely powerful. Our value is humongous. Value, we give! Virtues, we  experience! Our values are our values. The majority of the time we forget that we have values. But most of the time if we  practice these things, we remember our values. And once a person follows one’s own values, that is all divinity is all about.  So, keep the breath long, deep and evaluate yourself. Give yourself values. The first value you can give yourself is: I am  virtuous. I am beautiful. God created me in the best form. Thank God has given me health, happiness and wealth.  You know, you are a wonder of the world. Recognize the fact. Concentrate on these things.  Now comes the secret of the Shintoism, the Japanese faith. See that you are just a blade of grass, beautiful, green, and  you are covering your values. Start covering your values as a blade of grass, with an extreme sense of self-cooperation.  The tips of the fingers must meet so that circulation can coordinate the two parts of the body, and your valuable and  virtuous and wonderful body is right, at this time, under manual control, and your mental body is taken out.  The mental body is looking at your physical body as you are sitting. Practice this split. Once you can separate your mental  body and practice to separate it, as we keep on doing, there will be no problems—at the time of death you can split your  mental body and be free of karma. You will never have a rebirth again. That is guaranteed.  This is your reality. You have a physical body, you have a mental body and you have a body of bliss. When you separate  that, in-between you watch over this body. See how beautiful it is?  Your breath has to be very long and deep because your spiritual body, your physical body, your mental body and your being  are separate. You have never been taught this. You have never been told. You think you are one bundle. Feel the super and  extreme contentment. That will bring you prosperity. Ride on your breath and just feel supremely contented. That will give  you the prosperity that you are looking for. It’s no use living rich, it’s no use living poor, it’s no use being great if you cannot  demonstrate to yourself that you can separate your bodies as you can separate that strength. And you can not only  visualize, but experience it. In this experience, you are the Supreme.

Every religion goes round and round and round and talks one thing only—self-consciousness. Self-consciousness is just a  phrase to us. Let us consider what self-consciousness is: When we know we have a spiritual body, we have a mental body,  we have a physical body.  Your mental body and your radiant body—have you ever put them together? They are yours. Nobody will know it! But  you will be charged, and recharged with the energy. What is more beautiful on this Earth than you? What is more pure  and shining than you? What is more cool and calm and quiet than you? In the Eyes of God you are everything.  Take a long deep breath and ride on it. Fortune and misfortune are two wavelengths. By yourself it pulses—you can put  your body on any wavelength you need. In common man’s language we call it repetition.  The body’s membranes, the body’s re-adjustment and the body’s main nervous system are going to adjust now. You are  within that time. Please breathe long and deep and cure yourself forever. Heal! Take long deep breaths and ride on it, and  keep your mental body away. Only look at where the tips of the fingers meet.  Circulate your breath. Keep the mental body separate. Concentrate on the physical body, in the realm of personal  consciousness. You are beautiful, you are bountiful, you are blissful, you are virtuous, you have vigor, self-control. Apply  all that!  The central nerve in the navel point can be touched by a deep breath. A split mental body can give you a vast area of  coexistence. Your all five channels and tattvas are totally balanced at the moment. Your arc line is clear.  Can you believe the little bit that we have done? We suffer here, there, everywhere. What for? America needs peace, it  needs love. It needs tons of smiles. It needs us—we the people.  Our window is up at 12 o’clock. The rotation of the planet will change the energy and it will change everything. Now is  the time. Breathe long and deep. Get it when it is available. Bring in you the coziness. Colorful coziness. Split the light inside. Bring in the special Breath of Life. If you know how to concentrate, meditate and breathe, this is the time.”  To end  “Breathe in deep and hold it tight. Breathe out. Breathe in deep and hold it tight. Breathe out. Breathe in all the virtues of  God and breathe out peace for the world. Breathe in long and deep, hold it, love it, feel it, and then let it go. Now put all  the pressure on the fingertips. Inhale deep. Put a tight grip on the fingers. Let it go. Inhale deep. Make the fingers very tight.  Feel the purpose of life and prosperity. Let it go. Inhale deeply, exhale and relax.”  This time may come in this month next year. My idea was just to give you a re-charge. And this is a very special  time. The whole Eastern World is going to celebrate the Festival of Light. During the ten days of this festival people  will do nothing but breathe, meditate, eat the right food and show gratitude to young girls, the mothers of  innocence. When you see a young girl, you see the creative purity. Purity has many forms, but creative purity is  only the young girl. The source of humanity is that young girl, who will grow and one day have a family and children.  America is young all the time and does not care. There is no rule, no virtue, because we are not a very meditative  nation. But now we are learning a lesson. We got chili in our nose. Now we know we have to change. One day  you will come out and realize how virtuous you are, how valuable you are, how this precious time is given to you  so you can act on yourself so that you can turn from human into an angel. You are going to get kicked. That is a  fact you cannot avoid. Every moment you have to concentrate on your purity.  I asked a Japanese master, “What is Shinto?” He replied, “It is a personal religion.”“Can I know about it?” He picked  a blade of grass and said, “What do you see?” I was a little cleverer than he thought and I said, “God.” He asked,  “Where is it?” I said, “In this blade.”“You know Shinto. That’s it! Thank you.”  There is nothing more in teaching. This is all it is. If you cannot see God in all you cannot see God at all. When that  monk picked up a piece of grass and said, “What do you see?” a normal reply would have been, “A blade of grass.”  What is the most beautiful virtue man has? Matching intelligence! If you can match intelligence with another person  you are the most valuable, virtuous and wonderful person. Love is when you temporarily get along with a person.  Virtue is in matching intelligence–not values, where everybody differs. Match intelligence!

A letter to a friend

Greetings,

I appreciate hearing from you.  You have been true to the Guru.  

I haven’t been holding virtual meditation gatherings, though  you are on my list whenever they should happen.

I still offer remote healing sessions, though typically not face to face.  This is how I can offer personal suggestions for meditations.

I agree, the world has largely devolved into insanity.  It has touched us all, though not everyone is broken.  I’m happy to hear that you have found a safe haven.

There has been a profound change in people’s perceptions of how to organize our devotion.  The paradigms of community, seeker, teacher and organization were largely blown up.  Tribalism and cultism have taken a toll.  What I have realized is that we human beings remain intact with our personal identities and aspirations.  We only need to recognize and reform our social identities.  The age of the monolithic power structure is over.

One thing that I have understood from our excellent teachers is that we, now, are it.  Everything hinges on the active we, evolving from the passive us.  Subtly, just as we all have experienced in countless classes, we share each others’ existence and presence.  We do not have to feel alone.  We share in our subtle bodies a common experience that binds us and lifts our soul.  Once we resolve the question of the soul body, we can nourish and grow it through our daily practice, sadhana, together with the subtle body of all the souls practicing with us.  In a natural progression, we share our awareness and compassion through radiance, our radiant body.   This is how we can begin recognize and then support and nourish the collective soul body.

Here are some suggestions.

To enhance awareness of the subtle body and soul body:

Meditation: NM0410 – 20010615 – The Northern Lights – Ek Ong Kar

Yogi Bhajan introduced it to us at Summer Solstice 2001. It was the last time he appeared at Summer Solstice.    

It is difficult, to begin.  He said, “do it for 40 days” then maybe 90 days, or 120, or just keep doing it.  I started with 11 minutes for a week, then 22 minutes, then 31 minutes, then 62 minutes, then 2 1/2 hours.

This is a good one to master,  at 1000 days.

Here are the meditations for the radiant body:

Here’s another one Yogi Bhajan suggested that we master (as I heard it):

Meditation: LA822-950201-Healing the Physical

Also called “The Lighthouse”.  It’s worth doing.  

For the soul body:

Meditation: M043-19890623 See Your Soul Within Your Third Eye

One day at a retreat, my friend and I were discussing the meditation NM0410, which was my sadhana at the time.  She told me she was intrigued by it, and wanted to try it.  As we were housed in a dorm at the retreat, she asked me to come get her on my way to the place where I was meditating.  At 3am the next morning, I knocked on the door of her room (shared by 3 other people).  Immediately, I heard screams from inside the room.  They all screamed.  So, puzzled, I left to do my sadhana.

She later explained that she and her roommates had convinced themselves that they were being stalked by a ghost in their room.  My knock on the door became a part of their story.

 

 

Meditation: KWTC860702 Anti-Hypertension

In easy pose, place fingertips together forming a teepee, at the heart level. Apply reasonable pressure to fingers and thumbs.

Inhale through the mouth to the maximum, and exhale through the nose. Breathe affectionately and beautifully as though you were drinking honey. Listen to the tape of “Rakhe Rakhan Har”, and feel the rhythm in your heart, and in every cell in the body. Keep the, eyes 1/10 open, and focus at the tip of the nose or at the 3rd eye for 11-31 minutes. (If for 31 minutes, sleep afterwards.)

Rakhe Rakhan Har

To end, sit quietly and listen to the sound chant back to you. Feel protection and victory.

Meditation: KWTC 880701 The Moon & Sun Energy

 

SUMMARY MEDITATION:
The moon is for expansion. The sun is for completion. Birth and death relate to the sun. Maintenance,  expansion, growth, color, shape and form: all that is moon. But the moon by itself has no power; it reflects the sun. And sun by itself has no power; it needs the moon. Do you understand the rational part of it? The irrational part of it is very simple. Let us experience that.

3 minutes: I just want to tell you how your

body can create havoc it does not fit in. (The
thumbs press upward on the respectivecheekbones and the fingertips meet to form a bridge shading the face. The elbows are relaxed down near the body.) And now close your eyes and sing the song of the noble woman. (Class sings “Nobility.”)
You sang that song, you understood. Relax. And you have understood it better than you ever understood it before. This is how the body fits in.

7 minutes: Now understand another situation. (Touch the little finger to the thumb on each hand. The other fingers are extended and joined.) And take these other three fingers and put them on your forehead. (Palms facing in toward the head.) Put on the tape Bhand Jameeai. The three fingers must touch the forehead right in the center. See what it does to you. These are certain things, which you don’t do, that you have to do.

7 minutes: Now, I’m just telling you about the body energy and focal points and how the chakras work with the tattvas and how the tattvas work with the gunas. That’s the basic woman that we have to understand. Please place your hands as if you were pulling something very heavy.

(Make fists of both hands. Extend the right arm out to the side and up at a
sixty-degree angle with the elbow straight. Bend the left elbow and bring the forearm
up across the front of the body at a sixty-degree angle. Pull it back as it stretching a
bow). Play Ab Jan Upar Ko Na Pukarai. These are things you have recited over the
years and I’m just telling you how, with a body posture, the energy flow and the
direction of things can change. Get into archer pose while sitting. Now make the
archer pose tougher and tougher. I’m going to give you certain exercises, certain kriyas,
which have been kept extremely guarded and secret and have not been given to humans because they are not considered worthy. But the faculty of the word and the befitting posture of the body can create the divine impact.

16 minutes: Take Bibi Bani’s Mere Man Lochai with Aad Sach Jugad Sach interspersed.

 

Now lock yourself. (Grasp the top of the left shoulder with the right hand. Bring the left arm under the right arm next to the body and grasp the right shoulder with the left hand.)

You know the greatest problem with a female is that when she confronts insecurity, she gets a headache. Insecurity in woman means a headache. Otherwise there’s no headache for a woman. She’s not made to have a headache. A secure woman can never have a headache. It is a biological, physical phenomenon, which represents a tremendous amount of insecurity. When you are very insecure about something or you have a headache, just feel “Happy am I, healthy am I, holy am I” and it will go away. It works like Tylenol.

Close your eyes and let us sing and see where we go. Tighten the shoulders. Tighten the grip. Sing it really from the navel point. We are just experimenting. It is no big deal. (Class sings Meraa Man Lochai.) You have gone through this. Please relax.

Mera Mana Loche – Guru Shabbad Singh

Meditation: KWTC04-960627-Soul and Identity

Put your Jupiter fingers out and start doing “Humee hum brahm hum”
and move them, move them, move them, move them. Look at the tip of your nose.

And see that you see both index fingers moving. I am in a perfect posture right now. It’s so great.

Look at the tip of the nose and those two fingers moving and chant what we are going to play for you and you will have fun.

Begin music: Humee Hum Brahm Hum

 

The two fingers must be seen from the one tenth of the eyes on the tip of the nose.
Inhale. Hold the breath. Move the index finger very fast. Hold the breath, move fast, circulate. Round and round, round and round, round, round. Exhale. Inhale deep. Don’t cheat. Hold it tight. Move. Round and round. Fast. Fast. Your spine can dance. That’s what it meant. Exhale.

Inhale again. Go ahead. Do your best. Spine must adjust itself. Now is the hard time. Do it right. Exhale. Inhale deep again. Deep deep deep deep deep, you go. Powerful, faster. Try your best. Exhale. This is your last chance. Inhale deep, hold, move. Move, move, move. Relax.

M134 970325 Working on the Upper Chakras

M134 970325 Working on the fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Chakras

“Serve people. Don’t expect results. Don’t put your harpoon into another person. Just serve. People will love you. It will be an everlasting friendship. ” YB

This kriya will change your chakras and make you better able to move through your cbakra system. This will make you a better human being.

1. Sit up straight like a yogi. Keep your eyes open and look straight ahead. Use your diumb to tightly lock down your Mercury (pinkie) and Sun (ring) fingers of each hand. Extend the Jupiter (index) and Saturn (middle) fingers up straight.

Bend your elbows. Press your elbows and upper arms very tightly against your rib cage. This balance of force will consolidate your position so that when the hands revolve, your whole body will move. Revolve your hands rapidly in circles at a race of three circles per second. Keep moving, don’t stop. 5 112 Minutes.

Correctly and rapidly doing the movement will cause the spine and neck to loosen up and get adjusted. It will cause the armpits to sweat, which will release toxins from the brain. Eleven minutes of this exercise done correctly every day is good for your heart.

2. Stretch your arms out straight to the sides. Right palm faces upward to the heavens; left palm faces downward to the earth. Allow no bend in the elbows. Close your eyes and look at the tip of your nose. Let the body balance itself. Become solid like stone. Don’t move. 6 Minutes.

This position creates a balanced magnetic field between the earth (left hand facing downward) and the heavens (right hand facing upward). You must stay steady. The temptation to move can become very strong. Go through the discomfort so that you can train your brain to overcome pain by issuing its own natural pain reliever. Open up this channel and you can train yourself to conquer pain.

3. Inhale and interlock your fingers. Lift your arms up to form a circle over the top of your head, like an aura. Exhale. Hold this position and whistle along with the instrumental version of Ardas Bhaee on the recording called Healing Sounds of the Ancients #5 for 6 Minutes.
To finish:

Inhale, hold the breath for 15 Seconds, while you keep your fingers interlaced and stretch your arms up so high that you lift up your entire body. At the same time, expand your rib cage outward. Exhale.

Inhale, hold the breath for 10 Seconds, repeating the stretch upward, while opening your chest cavity as wide as possible. Exhale.
Last time: inhale, hold die breath 10 Seconds and slowly and strongly twist to the left and slowly and stronslv twist

Meditation: NM422 A11020 Coordination of Body Mind by Spirit to Enter the Fall and the Winter Season

NM422 A11020 Coordination of Body Mind by Spirit GUIDED MEDITATION WITH THE MASTER  To Enter the Fall and the Winter Season  Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. – October 20th, 2001

I have called you today, as these nine days are very auspicious. The moon is  crossing beneath the sun. It is a time to sharpen the mind. Why not to do it the  way of the century-old custom? It is not very difficult, and you will be very comfortable in the end.

NM0422 GUIDED MEDITATION WITH THE MASTER –

To Enter the Fall and the Winter Season  31 Minutes  (Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Bring your hands in front of your heart center, with the fingertips touching and the  palms spread.)  “Try to see how the energy moves. You will feel the reality of the body. Inhale deep and ride on the breath, in and out, long  and deep, as honestly as you can. Take your body—the inner being in this body, simply by meditative force.

And we have a small time window only, that is why I am very quick and  not saying anything. So this breath has to be very long and down to the navel point. Deep in, and hold, and completely out.  The power we have is our virtue. Our virtue is extremely powerful. Our value is humongous. Value, we give! Virtues, we  experience! Our values are our values.

Breathe in all the virtues of  God and breathe out peace for the world. Breathe in long and deep, hold it, love it, feel it, and then let it go. Now put all  the pressure on the fingertips. Inhale deep. Put a tight grip on the fingers. Let it go. Inhale deep. Make the fingers very tight.  Feel the purpose of life and prosperity. Let it go. Inhale deeply, exhale and relax.”  This time may come in this month next year. My idea was just to give you a re-charge. And this is a very special  time. The whole Eastern World is going to celebrate the Festival of Light. During the ten days of this festival people  will do nothing but breathe, meditate, eat the right food and show gratitude to young girls, the mothers of  innocence. When you see a young girl, you see the creative purity. Purity has many forms, but creative purity is  only the young girl. The source of humanity is that young girl, who will grow and one day have a family and children.  America is young all the time and does not care. There is no rule, no virtue, because we are not a very meditative  nation. But now we are learning a lesson. We got chili in our nose. Now we know we have to change. One day  you will come out and realize how virtuous you are, how valuable you are, how this precious time is given to you  so you can act on yourself so that you can turn from human into an angel. You are going to get kicked. That is a  fact you cannot avoid. Every moment you have to concentrate on your purity.  I asked a Japanese master, “What is Shinto?” He replied, “It is a personal religion.”“Can I know about it?” He picked  a blade of grass and said, “What do you see?” I was a little cleverer than he thought and I said, “God.” He asked,  “Where is it?” I said, “In this blade.”“You know Shinto. That’s it! Thank you.”  There is nothing more in teaching. This is all it is. If you cannot see God in all you cannot see God at all. When that  monk picked up a piece of grass and said, “What do you see?” a normal reply would have been, “A blade of grass.”  What is the most beautiful virtue man has? Matching intelligence! If you can match intelligence with another person  you are the most valuable, virtuous and wonderful person. Love is when you temporarily get along with a person.  Virtue is in matching intelligence–not values, where everybody differs. Match intelligence!

There is a very popular saying. If you make all good things you will go to heaven, if not you will go to hell but anyway you will go somewhere. So don’t be very serious about life. Because you have not understood one concept. Life is not what you think it is. Life is seventy percent free of you.

Meditation: LA779 – 19930916 – Kriya to Create a Miracle for Yourself

Yogi Bhajan September 16, 1993, Los Angeles, CA

Kriya to Create a Miracle for Yourself
“Everything which happens in nature teaches you something! Every person you meet, you can learn something if you are sensitive and conscious…. The consciousness is a real balancing act, where you, the environment and your object, all three you can balance intuitively.” —Yogi Bhajan

Raise the elbows up and out to the sides, forearms parallel to the ground with the hands flat in front of the Heart Center, palms face down, fingers point towards opposite hand. Saturn Fingers (middle fingers) do not touch, stay ½ inch (1 cm) apart.

Focus the eyes at the Tip of the Nose. Experience seeing the Blue Pearl.

Breath is unspecified. Concentrate.

Immediately begin the next posture.
7 min

Maintain the posture and eye focus.

Listen to Meditation by Wahe Guru Kaur.

7 min

To End:
Inhale deep, hold the breath for 20 seconds. Stretch the spine consciously vertebrae by vertebrae from the lower tailbone up to the neck. Exhale. Repeat three more times. Relax and shake the hands and body wildly. Spread the energy to all the facets of the body. Continue for 1 minute. Relax. Then, move just the toes and the fingers fast, balance what has been achieved. Continue for 1.5 minutes.

Comments: “The forehead will start becoming heavy like a lead in exactly three minutes. That means your posture is correct…. Let the fingers not meet and let your eyes not change, let your spine be straight so that the spinal fluid can start flowing. Concentrate and whatever pain is happening, welcome it. Whichever nerve is bothering, welcome it. It is not bothering you, it is straightening itself, it is straightening its meridian, it’s straightening the flow of energy.” —Yogi Bhajan

Lecture:

It is not my projection that you are a human being.  But you are.  And as a human, you are what you are.  Good, bad, right, wrong, happy, unhappy, sick, healthy, there are many facets.  And if we look to all facets you have, in spite of all facet, there is a one fact.  Are you you?  And that’s not true.  You know when you deal with your life as you want to deal with your life, you have the right to deal with your life, the way you want to look, the way you want to eat, the way you want to be, the way you want to suffer, the way you want to be …  Whatever you do and whether you are born to belong to God or God belongs to you, something like that, but are you you?  Are you a bunch of solidified, (?) ideas, which cannot change.  Think about it.

All what you have become is, somebody which you are not.  The circumstances, the experience, the sicknesses, the betrayals, the treacheries, the happiness, friendship, brainwash, whatever you are going to call it, I am not going to blame anybody.  But, I am sixty four year old and I have constantly fight.  I had a big fight with this thing that “I am me, I am not an opinion, I am not an action, I am not a status, I am not a institution, I am not real, I am not not real,..”  Beyond all what is imaginable, in existence, in feelings, in reality, in non-reality, still I hold myself as me.  Can you even think of it.  But what is the idea?  I mean to say what do you think you are?  There is a one place for you within you where you can hang in and not be touched.  You do not know the joy of it, you do not understand.  This is how it starts.

“I have a wife, I have children, I have a boyfriend, I have a sexual friend, I have a married man…”

What, what have you, you think.  Whatever you have is a gift.  It’s not yours.  Gift is never personal.  Enjoy it, have it, do whatever you want to do with it, I am not interfering.  I am not quoting ethics to you, but gift is a gift.  If you ever take gift as yours, you will drift into a pit from you will never come out.  If wife thinks husband is a gift, if husband thinks wife is a gift, they will never fight.  Gifts don’t fight.  Do they fight?  Have you ever looked in the mirror how much you spend money on being beautiful?  Have you seen on your behavior how much energy you spend being idiot?  Have you, have you ever understood?  One day I was laughing, there was a doctor and she was a doctor.  Husband and wife were doctors.  And they came as my guests and they started fighting with each other.  I didn’t say anything, I enjoyed it.  It was a free movie.  Soap opera.  And she said,

“You are stupid, you have come in the presence of a holy man, you shut up.”

He say, “You shut up, I want to have ask question.”

And neither he asked question nor he shut up, nor she could shut him up and they had a half-an-hour at the most beautiful show, free of cost.  And I said,

“Who gave them the degree?  I mean who made them PhDs?” 

The lady was MD and man was PhD.  (?) very successful people.  He works for a very high classy white post and she is a medical doctor.  And they both had a quarrel with each other.  And today I ask one of my girl, I said, may I ask, because I saw somebody having the bangs over the glasses, I mean to say, (?) it was just like the dog which can’t see.  So naturally it created a curiosity in me (?) and I said,

“Could you tell me why people put these bangs?”

Because that creates fear in your personality.  It’s a very psychological defective thing to cover your forehead.  This area should never be covered, doesn’t matter what you do, and she said,

“To not show these wrinkles.”

Ha, don’t show wrinkles, but you will be always be phobic.  Look at the exchange of price.  Because this triangle is the porous bone, which is meant for light during the day and hairs are bad conductor of heat and electricity and both won’t go.  It is amazing.  The only first time in the world this psychology was used by (?) to slave the Chinese population and he used this psychology that any, every Chinese woman will have like that, (?) you saw the doll bangs?  And every man will be shaved up to half head and if not, they can be slaughtered on the spot.  It was used as a psychology, it’s a what you call this, fear therapy.  For generations.  Now I didn’t know it was a fashion.  I didn’t have to do anything with it, because I don’t have bangs, so what do I know.

But, you know, we want to hide things, what is wrong having wrinkles, tell me?  What’s so bad about it?  I mean you are forty five year old and you have wrinkles.  Think of those who died at twenty-two, without wrinkles.  Ha?  They are dead and gone.  Twenty-two.  They never had wrinkles.  And how much you can avoid wrinkles?  And what is so bad dying?  What is so bad getting old?  (?) that’s bad being you as you.  You will never accept you.  You know, I mostly I don’t speak very frankly, because you will be hurt.  Then I am supposed to say things in between, you know, read between the lines.

How more stupid a person can be in intelligence and in consciousness when you don’t accept yourself?  I will never dress myself for anybody.  Never.  Never.  I like to look beautiful to myself.  I want to look beautiful to me, to my Guru, to my God, to my consciousness.  I want to be excellent and elegant for myself.  Not for anybody, who the hell is anybody can do me anything?  If I don’t have me, everything else of mine for anybody is as wrong as a lie can be.  And when you start, first step on untruth, how much you can make it?

Think sometime, just understand how stupid we are and how much false we live and then we expect everybody to be truthful.  Then we expect everybody to love me and love us and so we can live happily thereafter.  I mean, you have stories to believe, but for God’s sake, understand were is the challenge.  Challenge is just to be you.  In the all hotchpotch of this planet and all teachings and feelings and, you know somebody was telling me today we are the pioneers in this and we are pioneers in this, and we are not selling ourself right and I said, “Thank God, we are not selling ourself right, wrong, even.”  We are not.  We are not selling ourself, but where they are going to go?

Where this humanity is going to go?  They don’t even answer.  We have their answer.  Why not do we wait?  Have patience.  One day everybody has to drink yogi tea whether you like it or not.  There is no way, there is no way ultimately to get rid of the stress and move your liver other than this formula which is thousand and thousands of years old.

There was once a time, the Sikhs’ home you go, you smell yogi tea pot from two blocks.  Now not.  Not at all.  Now they drink coffee, I know.  It’s not that, now they are rich.  Now even yogi tea is a instant yogi tea, they never drink.  Other people drink.  But our people don’t drink.  A one thing for centuries a man found out a formula, not I found it, I just thought it will be better for liver.  Just for liver.  It’s a good, it’s tasty, it is nice, no, nobody drinks it.  But in those days, when we were young in ‘60s we were totally over rotten by drugs and drugged by those stuff, we wanted to recuperate, then we understood.  We took it as a savior.  But now we don’t.  Now it shall always save you.  Something is not to sell, not to sell, not to push, not to…  It is something to have.  Carrot juice have to have.  You don’t like carrot juice, don’t like carrots, (?) fine.  Nobody is going to ask you to like carrots.  Zucchini, you have to have.

There are certain thing in this nature you have to have.  You know I go to restaurants, it’s very funny.  You ask any plate, doesn’t matter what, they put little parsley over it.  Have you seen that little thing?  And the first thing the idiot does, take that parsley, put it on the side.  Can you believe this?  Can you understand that?  The idea is to pick the parsley and eat it, chew it first and then eat the dish.  The parsley on the tip of the dish is the pre-demand of the dish.  The maker knows it, the eater doesn’t.  I was that day eating with a person and dish came with a parsley on the top and he picked it up and I picked it up.  He say,

“You want it sir?”

I say, “Yes.”  And I say, “Give this old dish to me.”

“Why?”

I say, “You can’t eat it.  Because this parsley should be eaten first and then you eat the stuff.  Because the parsley, little parsley will go, it will stimulate the kidneys and this dish you are eating is heavy, it will clog the kidneys.  Maker is not a idiot, you are an idiot.  Parsley is for the health of the kidney.  That’s what they put there.  This, this is not a decoration piece.”

This little thing…  Weren’t we all right without Siri Ved?  We didn’t have any problem.  Now it is okay?  Now.  I think he doesn’t eat parsley at all.  Okay?  Now.  I didn’t touch it, don’t worry.  Now wait a minute now, this, you mean this is bad and that’s good.  Is this guy American?  Can you check his…?  Can you check from which planet he has come?  I mean, I can’t believe he is with me for twenty two years never one day he doesn’t do this.  It’s amazing.  Now you don’t hear it at all.  First, there was something, no, no, no, no, it is all his, he seeks attention in all this (?).  It’s a psychological sickness, it’s (?) nothing, nothing so wrong, it’s okay.  Yeah, now what?  Now something is wrong with your head, that’s the problem.  There is nothing wrong with the system.  System can always be put to order.  Now what?  Okay?  No?  Yeah?  Little bit.  See this is what he is going to do.  Somebody went to pick up a girlfriend.  He started, she started brushing the hair.  This is what Siri Ved does.  When the class time happens, this is what he does.  Some wire is loose, something is not connected, so everybody knows who Siri Ved is.  He is a funny guy.  Are you married or divorced?  Maybe some woman can change your head, God knows.  Okay now?  Is it okay?  So now Siri Ved is recognized?  Now give him a hand.

You have to have carrot juice and you have to eat carrot, if you need your teeth.  There is no, no substitute for it.  There is no substitute for zucchini.  There is no substitute for yogi tea, there is no substitute for yogurt, there is no substitute on this planet for turmeric, the most sexiest, healthiest healing herb on this planet.  There is no substitute for (?), no, no.  There is no substitute for (?), doesn’t matter you jump up, down, hate it or like it.  It doesn’t matter.  It has the aspirin and it has the (?) quinine, and which controls the nervous system and which controls the blood thickness and thinness, according to the weather.  It’s very precise formulas.  There is nothing you can do.

There are certain things in life you have to have.  You have to be your own doctor for a while.  And then when something fails go to a doctor.  You can’t be waiting “All right, I blow up everything and then I go to a doctor.”  It won’t happen.  It will never work out, you have to have a cold shower whether you like it or you hate it, doesn’t matter.  There is no medical human system that you can open up your capillaries other than cold shower.  And cold shower means cold shower.  Cold shower doesn’t mean (?).  This not a cold shower.  I saw somebody taking a cold shower (?) I say, “What?  What happened?”

‘I have taken cold shower.”

I say, “This is no damn cold shower.  Get in.  And now, massage your whole body.”

“It’s very cold.”

“That I know.  I follow the rule.  Come on.  And you massage your body under this damn cold water till your body tells you it is no more cold.  That’s the cold shower.”

It means all the capillaries are open and ‘Come on, I was waiting, where were you?  Today is your birthday, you have to sit here and meditate by my side.’  Then look great.  Right?  And straight?  Right?  And look, and just like, like a yogi, right?  Good.  And let everybody do anything but you have to keep doing.”

That’s a cold shower.  It means all the organs in the body the capillaries are open and blood supply has been resumed and the blood has come to the outer skin, to fight out the cold, it means no wrinkle, no that (?) what they call it, A-something?  (?)

Student:  (———-).

YB: (?) something, all the money can be saved.  There is no need to be stupid and spend those hours and hours and dollars and dollars.  On one Saturday when you are off, you have to take couple pounds of yogurt and lemon and turmeric and make a powder, like a paste.  And put it on your body, let it dry.  Let it dry.  And ladies, inside out.  You (?) understand what I am saying?  And then, you use water and couple hours to take it off.  And you will have a skin of a baby.

So there are certain rules.  There are certain ways to life.  Yeah, take (?) oil, massage your body.  Right?  Go under cold shower, you will be on fire.  And avoid (?) otherwise you will go to emergency hospital.  No way.  But if you can avoid that, and massage yourself with a (?) oil and go under cold shower, your body will be on fire, for couple minutes.  But you will not hurt.  You will not have millions of problems which you can otherwise get.  Because it will penetrate into the whole system and take care of you.  Be yourself, something for yourself.  Mentally, physically, spiritually, these are the three things you have.  If your spirit goes off, you will be depressed.  If your mind does not provide the caliber, you, you will be tired.  If your physical body doesn’t come through, you will look stupid.  Doesn’t matter how dressed up you are (?), moment you go to a certain place or certain talk or party, (?), and you will start falling apart.  What is the use of that?  I mean, what is this God, God you are all the time crying when you (?) cannot handle your own things into one gear?

Without taking care of the body and it’s nervous system and it’s circulatory system and it’s glandular system, you will never have a body.  Without opening up the Chakras, without meditating, clear the subconscious becoming conscious of your whole system and being, you will have no caliber of mind.  And without invoking in you the experience of ecstasy, you will never command the spirit when you need it.  And you will fail.  You will become a victim of your own scandal.  You don’t need enemies.  I don’t believe any enemy you need.  I think you are your own enemy.

I am not interested in anything, I am very interested in the aura of a student when I see the frequency and the arcline are man matching I take a very personal interest, “Hey don’t do this.  Hey, don’t go this way, hey, stop, be yourself, hey,”  You know.  Sometime they listen, sometime they don’t.  When they don’t, so be it.  It’s not my responsibility.  I don’t want to control anybody, because I don’t want to control myself.  I want to be a free person, independent person.  I want to elevate myself, I want to enjoy myself, what myself is.  I want everybody to do it.

How come you start with a man and a husband and a wife and a beloved and a lover and whatever and after two, three, four, five, six years you draw knives at each other.  Why?  Because you lack communication.  Because the development of you is you, him is him, her is her, it is never together.  You do not know as human to develop yourself in unisonness.  Develop.  I want to do what I want to do, I want to think what I want to think.  And you know we feel that if I ask you to listen to me, and you listen to me, it’s a slavery.  Why you go to college then?  Just to learn.  It’s always better to listen to a learned person and experienced and become learned.  Only listening is not enough.  Experience it.  If it’s wrong, go back and say,

“You told me this, I did this, look hell has created.” Face the person.

Learning is a experience process, learning is not a philosophy.  It’s not a bookish knowledge.  If it’s a (?) bookish knowledge, there are libraries, you don’t need anything.  You don’t need a teacher.  And teacher is not to be worshipped.  That is where you are most stupid western in the world.  Teacher is not to be worshipped.  Teacher is to be challenged.  Teacher is to ask questions, teacher is to ask him, “Tell me.”

You western, God knows what has gone wrong with you.  (?) Swamiji, (?), what (?) will do for you, nothing.  It’s such a word I can’t believe it.  I went to this World Parliament, everybody started touching my feet I say,

“I am going to fall, I cannot perfectly healthy yet.  Don’t do this.”

Just, oh it is, it’s a, it’s a, what they say,

“It is a tradition to fall at your feet.”

I say, “No, no, no, no, no.  It’s a tradition to fall at my feet to learn something.  Not to make me fall.”

You know, I am not that kind of a teacher.  If you have met me, ask me question, I will give you the answer.  We’ll be very lucky.  I’ll teach you something to be a better person.  That is my play.  This, this, too much for me, I say, I have my staff, I have my people, take care of me, I’ll come with ten, fifteen people, I am all well taken care of, there is no problem.  I am very well organized person.  Okay?  You want to learn something?  Learn from me and then experience it, and then enjoy it, and if doesn’t work, call me.  You need to respect your teacher so that you can become a learned.  Not a slave.  But here, either it’s a question, question, question, or it’s a hum-hum-hu (?), both don’t work.  Ask question, experience, ask question, experience, ask question, experience, if it’s a wrong ask further questions.  Tell your thesis of life and say,

“Well, you told me this, Mr.  I followed you and look this is has happened.  It’s not working.”

That is the way to learn in spirituality.  It’s not a matter of trust, it’s a matter of knowledge.  That’s why lot of you freak out when I say don’t trust me.  I said very openly.  Because moment you start trusting me, it is, (?) the snake is on my neck, then you are free. That we don’t want.  I want you to enquire, work hard and experience yourself.  Why you are trusting me?  Because you don’t want to do the homework.  You want the easy path, “Ha, Yogiji said this, Yogiji….”

Yogiji said this, why he said it?  Check it out.  Does it work for you, it doesn’t for you, challenge him.  Tell me I am a stupid, I’ll prove it to you  I am very wise, in two second, I’ll nail you so bad you can’t believe it.  Yeah.  The relationship between a father and a child is for inquiry.  But there is a difference.  One day the son will challenge the father.  And it’s, it will happen.  The son will grow and the sun will set.  Father will diminish, deplete and the son will grow.  But in a teacher and student relationship, student will shine and the teacher will shine with it.  So it’s a very futuristic investigation and investment.  A real teacher, doesn’t matter what the temptation is, shall never betray you.  Never.  If he betrays you for the sake of temptation, he is not your teacher.  Take it granted.  Because his investment is not in now, it is in his tomorrow.  And mind you one thing, if you ever see your teacher, have some buffers around you.  You are not going to have a good time.  Very rarely you will expect a teacher to be nice.  Because first thing is, he is going to see the defect and he (?) get on your neck.  First thing.  It’s a, as the stone and the chisel meet, comes spark.  Moment the teacher will meet you as a teacher, first (?) ceremony, that’s different, once the teacher will meet you as a teacher, he say,

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“No I am fine.”

“No, no, you are not.  What’s going on?”

And that’s how it starts.  And then you will try to deny and he will try to coax you to death, finally you will say this is happening and then there comes the shower left and right, up and down.  Because idea is either you will learn from time and the bitterness of it, or you can learn from a teacher and save the bitterness of it.

Life is a practical challenge.  Life is not what you and I are relating like okay, we go to the class, we pay few bucks and is over with.  That’s not life.  Life is to get rid of the garbage and come out clean.  Get it, it is your right.  Be free, be frank.  Because teacher is today, you are tomorrow.  Remember this.  Teacher has no tomorrow.  If he has no tomorrow, or he has a tomorrow without you, then he is a preacher, he is not a teacher.  Then you are falling around guy for wrong purposes.  Teacher is a investment, of his total ability in you and there is no relationship between you and teacher.  Teacher job is to chisel you and your job is to not try to get chiseled and his job is or her job is to chisel you to your death.  And your job is to give him run around and make all kind of excuses.  And make a “”No, no, no, I mean, na, na, na…” then it ultimately comes to such a first degree language that you won’t find a way out.

Remember one thing in your life.  Everything around here is a teacher.  Blossoming of the flower, fragrance thereof, opening of the bud, changing of the weather, everything which happens in the nature teaches you something.  Every person you meet, you can learn something if you are sensitive and conscious.  And let us see why we let that beautiful experience pass by?  We have to be contemplate ourself into a kind of ecstasy, so that we can be intuitively sensitive to find out the truth.  Just by the very touch.  Understand?  How we can develop that?

Tonight is a hard night.  Anybody has to go early or has a baby-sitter waiting for you or something like that or you are going to stick round?  What, up to what time you are available?

Student:  (———-).

YB:  Nine.  Okay.  We will try to do whatever we can, okay?  Yeah.

Student:  (———-).

YB:  No, no, no, no, no, no.  Garbage you, you always find, there is, God cannot create one thing.  And you therefore cannot create one thing.  Whereas your wise, there is unwise with you, where you are right, there is unright with you, where car is moving, there is a brakes there.  So basically, how much you can control your emotions, commotions, your thoughts, because your thoughts are not under your control.  Your intellect, intellect is not under your control.  Your consciousness is under your control.  So intellects leaves all the thoughts.  Millions of thoughts, and those thoughts do become emotion, feeling, desires and your activity.  You can’t kill yourself for that.

So you have to understand that you have three personalities.  You have a real personality, you have a working personality, and one is your fantasy, fantasy.  So you have to see are you in too much in fantasy, or you are too much into your working personality, or you are too much in your reality.  Can you bring balance if you can’t take help?  Otherwise you will be off.  You will be scattered, you can’t make it.  Because practically life demands reality, practical working reality in balance.  So, if you are too much thinking that bring it down, if too much scared and practical you can’t match up to your working personality and every time your boss is saying you are not making it, then you try to see what you are doing is not right.  You understand?

Student:  (?) don’t understand (?) said your consciousness (?) under control.  What do you mean by that?  I don’t understand (?)

YB:  The conscience is an aware balance act, where you, the environment and you object, subject, environment are three, you can balance intuitively.  That’s consciousness.  It’s a mathematical formula.  I, this other person, is another person’s environment and my environment must bring it to balance.  It can’t be, I force him, or he forces me.  It can’t be done.  You have to come to a mutual understanding.  And mutual understanding not in two.  Mutual understanding in three.  And that’s where everybody goofs.  You, the object, you are the subject, there is a object, two and the environments.  Somebody called somebody on the telephone,

“Honey, you love me?”

She said, “I do.”

“You do?”

She said, “Yes, I do.”

“So?”

“I am missing you.”

She say, “I am missing you too.”

And he said, “You come now.  If you won’t be in two hours, I’ll commit suicide.”

Telephone banged.  She left.  There was a storm.  He knew it.  But she just to prove it, started.  Got stuck by avalanche, never made it.  He never shot himself.  That stupid lover should have known the environments are not cohesive.  And she should have known the environments also have a vital part, if she has to go and meet him, environments must permit it to meet.  So if two people are in mad love or real love or understanding or relationship, it is human to involve the environments into it.  And those who do not involve environments are very unconscious people.  Does it make it clear?

Student:  (———-).

YB:  That’s okay.  Little is enough.

So let us sit down please, and balance our hands but our saturn finger, the second finger must not touch, but should have about, it’s called plug difference.  Plug difference is less than half an hour per half an inch.  You have to make your hands like this and very accurate, but must not meet, but it should not be too much away, it should be just they call plug difference.  Plug difference is less than half an hour, half an inch.  Seven time thinking of the hour, because see how much your psyche can affect.  Because at that time there was half an hour of your going to meet your baby-sitter, right?  Accurate?

Now.  Bring your eyes and see how the body will give you what you don’t want to otherwise get.  Now, bring your eyes to the tip of the nose.  Down there, from there down there you will find a little blue space.  It’s called ‘Blue Pearl’ or ‘Pearl of Life’ or ‘Pearl of ….’ there are so many things for this one little thing, it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a matter of experience.

If your posture will be correct, your front lobe, the forehead, will start becoming heavy like a lead within exact three minutes.  That means your posture is correct.  Kindly look deep at your tip of the nose and below, keep your fingers and don’t let them meet, they will meet, mind you I am warning you .  I’ve done it, so I know it.  The fingers will meet.  Let them not meet and let your eyes not change, let your spine be straight so that serum can start flowing, spinal fluid, they call it and things start happening.  And kindly concentrate.

I am going to go tonight myself and get rid of this cold of mine just by a simple formula of having little parsley, blended and juiced, about an ounce with a lemon, drink it.

Look down the tip of the nose.  Just think from the nose like water drops you are dripping something and you are seeing it falling into the blue cup down there.  It’s very easy, if you cannot do it, try it.  If whatever your body does, it shall have effect.  Just be elegant, there is nothing more noble than your own physical control on your own body ….

SIDE    B

….misunderstand me that your body is under your perfect control, that’s not true.  This is a misunderstanding we all have.   Our body and our nervous system is called stamina.  Sometime our stamina, physical stamina, mental caliber, and our spirit do not catch up to meet our demand.  Try to understand.  So this is just to develop and invoke in you that energy, you will start opening up your Chakras without your any hassle.  And your frontal lobe will start (?) heavy like a lead, you will feel like an headache, but that’s not a real thing.  It mean, it is happening.  And just feel there is a halo of light God with you, like Ang Sang Wahe Guru, that’s what actually Ang Sang Wahe Guru means, the sound, it’s a sound, it is not, it is a halo sound.

Today is a very day of festivity.  You will feel every Jewish family walking around with Yamka and well dressed up and going through the synagogue.  It is a new year.  So in every religion you find certain time where you can tune yourself to a point you can go for something you feel is real.  You will find in every religion, but in yoga, it’s every time.  You don’t have to wait.

Right now you are tuning yourself and exercise yourself control, physical, mental and spiritual.  Sit like a yogi, be like a yogi, act like a yogi and there will be a pain and there will be a painful pleasure, both.  Rise above it.  Your nerves will start kicking in and itching and either your lower back will start hurting or your neck will start going berserk.  Either of the two things will happen in this exercise because all the five tattvas, elements are now exchanging energy very heavily.  I wish you should see the way I am seeing it.

Put that tape, “Meditate…..”  meditation, yeah.  It is now five minutes to nine and you are being timed now.  And please do your best to concentrate and whatever pain is happening, welcome it.  Whichever nerve is bothering, welcome it.  It is not bothering you, it is straightening itself, it is straightening it’s meridian, it’s straightening the flow of energy.  It means that meridian is blocked.  Either go to acupuncture, get a needle in or just do it yourself.

(The tape, “Meditation… is played).

YB (talks over tape):  Fix the eyes.  Optical nerve must be controlling the brain…..  There are two nerves which are very strong.  The taste and the sight.   Optical nerve and taste nerve.  Faster.  Third comes the skin, the touch.  Now become yogi for five minutes.  I am not expecting any miracle, I am expecting right you creating a miracle.  For yourself.  There is no philosophy in this.  Left energy and right energy, ida and pingala will exchange itself at a very high velocity.  If the optical nerve is totally controlled the action will be hummungus……  Four more minutes.  Become like a solid statue of Buddha.  Be your best, nothing less…..  Meditation is a answer to life, problems, hurdles, weaknesses, it makes you cross all pain, displeasure, weakness.  It’s your pathway between man and God.  Woman included……  You have one and a quarter minute to go.  Concentrate…..  Inhale deep.

(The tape ends).

YB:  Deep, deep, deep, hold it tight and stretch your spine vertebra by your physical actions from lower tail up to the neck.  Consciously one, one, one, one…. All the way up to the twenty six of them and then let it go.  Inhale again deep, hold tight and please squeeze all the muscular system of your body by the spine, just consciously, slowly, gradually all the weight to the up to the neck, chin in and then let it go.  Once again inhale and do the same.  One, two, three, four, …….  nineteen, twenty, one, two, three, four, five six, let it go.  Inhale deep again.  One two, three four,….  nineteen twenty, one, two, three, four, five six, let it go.  Please relax.  And shake your hand and body as wildly and fanatically and insanely you can.  That’s the beauty of it, if you, if you will not do that, energy will not spread into all facets.  Just go, go, go, go, just like craziest thing you can do is, and the wisest thing.  Just you act crazy.

Move, move, move your body, just like wild as it should be.  Whatever you can imagine, a wild action you can just by sitting do it, just do it.  Hurry up, hurry up.  You have legs also, they need energy too.  They have to carry you, the body, neck, (?) go just into, it’s called causing a self-creative convulsion on the body.  All right, now sit down nicely.  Feel good?  You are okay?

Run, run, run, nine o’clock, hurry up.  It’s okay, it’s, it’s nice.  Aa, this is what you can do with me, whenever you get a chance you can live.  With me, you can only do one thing.  With me you can learn to live.  I am not interested in your imaginations and in your wealth, and in your poverty and in your richness and whatever you go through.  But, I can take your wheel of the wagon out of the mud.  That I can do.  And that is what is called Kundalini yoga.  It immediately takes a person from mental stalemate to mental activity.  Increases the caliber.  There is no beauty of this yoga, I would never have tried it if I don’t understand three things about it.  One is, saves time, number two, it is spontaneous, number three, it deeply affects on all calibers of the human, all facets.  That’s all.

And the wonderful thing in this is, we don’t initiate anybody, we don’t lay philosophy, nothing doing.  Get a person in the mold, cook him, stretch him, wash him, clean him, kick him out, let him face his day.  That’s how it works.  It’s not a (?) you come and do for me and I’ll do for you.  There is no such thing, there is no little (?), most of the people don’t like it.  Then they want long emotional rap and satisfaction, that kind of relationship.  In this, it can’t be.  We don’t initiate anybody.  Because if you are so stupid you can’t initiate yourself, why the hell we go to the trouble?

So it is not, it’s a, it’s a respect of your understanding of your learning of your grace, it’s not a respect by bound, by tying knots and tying those trips and going through all those ceremonies, no ceremony.  There is only one ceremony that you (?) get better ten times than your teacher.  That’s your ceremony.  Prove it.  That is the only ceremony which is acceptable in this whole science.  Become, become, healthier, happier and holier.  And as everybody has nine holes is a holy, simply you should know what goes in and goes out.  And that is called conscious control.

And now, a very simple exercise.  Move your toes and move your fingers fast together for few minutes, so whatever you have achieved is balanced.  That’s all.  It will be a minute and a half when we finish this we will be free.  Come on, come on, quick, fast.  And see the toes are moving both sides.  Because toes and fingers are the extremities.  So, the movement little bit in them, does complete thing.  All right.  Now, fold your hands and sing.

(The class sings “May the long time………”)

Meditation: LA135-19791029 Resolve Inner Conflict

Yogi Bhajan October 29, 1979, Los Angeles, CA

Sit in easy pose with a straight spine.

Press the hands on the breasts, palms in, fingers pointing toward each other. The hands are relaxed with the fingers extend and joined. This a comfortable position with very little pressure and no tension in the arms and hands.

Close the eyes nine-tenths of the way.

Deeply inhale for five seconds. Completely exhale for five seconds, and hold the breath out for 15 seconds.

Begin with 11 minutes and slowly build to 31 minutes. Comments:

This is a very simple and ancient meditation to resolve conflict in us. If you do it, you’ll enjoy it. Just see what changes you go through; just supervise yourself. It is a psychotherapy. The moment the body knows the breath is out it starts adjusting at the highest rate of efficiency. Work the automatics of your body. If you are really honest with your breath you are really honest.

The theory is that when the breath is out, and the prana is not there the pranic body starts penetrating through the other bodies to create the combination. Let the computer figure out how to make you survive with your cells which need x amount of oxygen. You may have a most grave situation to handle and five minutes of this will take care of it.

There is no mantra for this meditation.

Lecture
Share the Best with Others
Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. – June 4th, 2001 – Espanola, NM, USA

As we enter the Aquarian Age, some people are hanging on, some are barely walking and others are dragging their heels. Those who are imaginative and
wonderful are in misery when their ego is not satisfied. Others, whose defects could be overcome by doing sadhana, believe they have a sadhana but do not do it. On one hand they live positively and on the other hand they live with their defects.

This pain in life is self-perpetuating and limitless. You are corrupted before reaching the age of 27. People seeking a mate or a relationship feel they have a right to sex it out. This “sexing it out” can never leave your being. It is not just prostituting the body. To pimp your feelings or your mind is worse than prostitution. How can you forget the deeply embedded memories of entanglement between a man and a woman, or subconsciously wipe them out?  Where do you get the power? Somebody said to me, “I have the habit of being free!” It means having no commitment, no character, no dignity, no divinity, no grace. Free from what?

It is a joy to have children—but without virtues, without values, without training? How many parents share manners for their children to practice? How manny live in a dream world because it is more convenient and pleasant than reality?  How many times do you want to break down the banks of the river and flood the entire population, and think you will have friends? How many times have you insulted people with your bad manners and crude language? How many months has it taken you in your life to find out that you have anger and must get rid of it? How long wiill it be until
you realize you are not the end of the world, you are not the final word and you are not God, but just a human being?  Shine as a light, with a smile, with love and affection, and with compassion. Where there is no love, there is fear.  You have never bothered to discipline yourselves, to do sadhana, and do it like Aradhana to reach Prabhupati. You can be told and told, but will you listen for your sake? There is a new posture, the “Hang In” posture. Hang in and blame  your parents and neighbors. When you blame and blame, you cannot claim anything in life. Without the discipline and
the cleansing effects of sadhana, you do not rise above your body and being. Take time to sit and plan, to feel confident and comfortable. In a life of self-competency, where we leave off comparing and competing, we are respected. Be grateful for what you have. When you are great, you are fulfilled. Have patience and take care of yourself: “T have put three things in this plate: Sat, truth; Santokh, patience; and Vicharo, self-analysis. To this | have added God’s Name, which is like nectar. That is the greatest satisfaction.” — Guru Arjan, Rehiras Sahib

If you have character and commitment, if you remember that God alone has made you, that you are the identity of God, and if you remember “Ang Sang Wah-hay Guroo,” that God is within your every limb, you will be free of
frustrations, anger and game playing.

I asked someone, “You left in the middle of class. What happened?” “T felt that you were talking about me and it made me angry, so | thought I should go.” “Did leaving the class make that something in you leave?” “No. That’s why I came today, to ask you what to do.” “Let the past go. Change your behavior. Smile at everybody, say hello with love and affection, shake hands. The shortest route? Do not satisfy your ego, God will satisfy your soul.”

You like to think you have the right to break the discipline and be obnoxious, but you do not want the consequences.  Just because we have a voice, does not mean that we should yell and scream at people. Show them the way, guide them, hold their hand. Keep the good for yourself} keep the better for tomorrow, and share the best with others.
