Yogi Bhajan – NM360 – September 13, 2000
The Nam is the personified personality and the applied personality merged together. Meditate on the Nam, on your own identity. There is nothing more precious than that. If you fall separate from your identity, you will become so low, so mean, so ridiculous, that nothing works.
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Raise both hands in front of the face with the elbows relaxed down. The tips of the index fingers and the thumbs touch together, the remaining fingers are closed in fists. Spread the hands away from each other creating the White Hole Mudra. Close your eyes and go deeply into it. Sing deeply from the navel Raa Maa Daa Saa Saa by Gurunam Singh. Continue for 21 minutes.
Then do Breath of Fire powerfully for 1 minute. Cleanse yourself. To end, inhale very deeply, hold tight, and squeeze your spine from the bottom upward. Exhale. Repeat 2 more times. Relax. There are two cosmic powers by which the body and the psyche of the body pass through the pranic body. There is the Black Hole Mudra, which is formed when the knuckles of the two hands meet, and there is the White Hole Mudra, which is formed when the knuckles of the two hands are spread apart, with the middle fingers curled at the entrance as guardians. If your identity can make your mold, then you can share the vibration of where you stand. Your only enemy is fear, and your only friend is love. When you follow the route of love, God comes through. When you follow the route of fear, the devil comes through. Learn to bless yourself, and you will be very spiritual. The Nam is the personified personality and the applied personality merged together. Meditate on the Nam, on your own identity. There is nothing more precious than that. If you fall separate from your identity, you will become so low, so mean, so ridiculous, that nothing works.
Lecture:
The Nam is the personified personality and the applied personality merged together. Meditate on the Nam, on your own identity. There is nothing more precious than that. If you fall separate from your identity, you will become so low, so mean, so ridiculous, that nothing works. First we shape a mold with wax. Then, adding metal, we make a real mold. Finally from this mold we make things. Those who meditate, through their hard labor and sweat, make their identity like a mold. They are bright and beautiful. I am Harbhajan Singh. I am Siri Singh Sahib. What is it to you? If you are shivering in my presence, having my darshan, and I am wrapped in my blankets, warm and cozy… I may be perfect, one with God and God one with me, but I do not have consciousness if I do not see you; I only see myself. As long as a Sikh only sees himself, he sees nothing. He is blind. If I see you shivering, my first job is to put two of my quilts over you and make you comfortable. Creative relationships are gone. When a son does wrong, his father enjoys it. No child can reach his destiny in grace and greatness, no matter what the circumstances may be, if a mother rejects the child. Mothers are beautiful shades which cover you in all aspects of life. In today’s world a mother has to cook, go to work, do laundry, sleep, and attend to social affairs. And above this the man is discourteous. A mother ruins her child by saying, “She must suffer and learn from her suffering. I am tired of saying anything.” It is a classic rejection. When a mold is broken, how can you shape it? Do you think that a child, at a certain age, does not require molding? There is constant insecurity in life. You are insecure about tomorrow, so when your tomorrow becomes today, you face it with insecurity. But if you have developed a meditative mind, your mold is right. You can put your day into the mold and go through it. Khalsas are those who, against every odd and even, remain Khalsas. Khalsas are those white warriors who have to rule and conquer the world spiritually with their mold, behaviour, manners, and with a projection of universality. If I have one piece of toast and a person comes in, my job is to ask him, “Would you like to eat?” and my first action should be to cut it in two and give him the half. Have everything, but do not be attached to anything. Meditate and purify your identity and at the same time constantly share. Give. If you have nothing to give, give a smile. Self is very pure and virtuous. Self has the power to purify itself. You will get everything in abundance, even if you do not ask for it. Your smile can bring you what your frown cannot.
“AB JAN UPAR KO NA PUKAARE Now, no one complains about the Lord’s servant. Whoever tries to complain is destroyed by the Guru, the Transcendent Lord God. Whoever is hateful against the One who has no hate, shall lose in the Court of the Lord. From the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages, it is the Glorious Greatness of God, that He preserves the honor of His humble servants. One becomes fearless, and all fears are taken away, leaning on the Support of the Lord’s Lotus Feel. Chanting the Name, through the Guru’s Word, Nanak has become famous all over the world. ”
