“The blend of your soul, mind, and body makes you talk. This is the art of vibration. If your mind is off you cannot talk sensibly. If your soul is off you don’t exist. Hence, it is a blending of the three that makes you vibrate. You vibrate anyway, but vibration in the form of communication is effectively recognized when you talk. Word was with God and communicated with maya to create this universe and its beauty. Word is with you. Communicate to create your own world.” Yogi Bhajan

MEDITATION – Sarab Gyan Kriya
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Both hands are in receptive Gyan Mudra. Cross the right hand over the left hand in front of the heart center, so that the four tips of the thumbs and index fingers are together, palms facing up. Elbows are relaxed down. Eyes are closed. Chant the Mangalacharan Mantra, “Ek Ong Kaar Sat Gur Prasaad, Sat Gur Prasaad Ek Ong Kaar” (“Ek Ong Kar Satgur Prasaad”). Continue for 31 minutes. To end, inhale deeply, hold, and extend the arms up straight with the palms together, like a salute, the body will distribute the energy through neutral channels itself. Exhale. Repeat 1 time, than inhale deeply, press the hands together and synchronize the body from toe to top. Relax.
As one obtains true happiness, intercommunication evolves from sexual to sensual, social, local, national, international and cosmic to the Infinite. Out of that, Prakirti, the universe, is born. The mantra “Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad, Sat Gur Prasad Ek Ong Kar” explains it, and this most sacred kriya is the seal to go with it. The mudra by itself will change the flow of the body’s energy. Do this kriya, make it part of your life, and you will be surprised at the changes in you.

The Journey of Consciousness
Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. – April 2nd, 2001 – Espanola, NM, USA
Saints and sages found that whether people had wealth or had nothing, they did not find contentment. When sages in India discovered the concept of zero, where zero multiplied by zero becomes zero, it was realized that anything multiplied by infinity becomes infinity. Everyone has limits, but the sages realized—we all come from the Limitless.
Some know that through infinity we can have contentment. Others have no contentment and are constantly searching. Others live in their universal nature but want to be isolated. And finally there are people who do notrespect any boundaries, they can be successful in their profession and foolish in other aspects. Their life is like a bull tied to a Persian wheel—boring, endless, consuming and tiring. Their life revolves around an axle in an orbit that is very difficult to break, which leads to questions like, “What is life?” “Where am I going?”“What am I doing?”To answer these questions we have developed philosophy. People living in the desert saw the sun during the day and beautiful constellations in the cool night and made the sun, moon and stars their symbols. When some Jews revolted a little bit they were put on a cross and the cross became their symbol. When some people who believed in infinity became finite, “Om” became their symbol. Others with no God or path of life, with no wisdom, buddhi, started saying that there are eight ways of wisdom, and became the Buddhists. Finally came Guru Nanak simply saying, “You have come from infinity, you have to go back to infinity.”
When there was no rationale for life’s experiences, man concluded that the most powerful facet of a human is the mind. The mind teaches you to lie, betray and cheat, but you were born with a neutral mind. Wise men found that the mind should be controlled, and from this evolved all forms of yoga. Patanjali divided humans, personality, identity and infinity into eight steps, creating Ashtang Yoga, the Yoga of Eight Steps. Out of Ashtang Yoga, and circumventing the eight steps, came Kundalini Yoga, which uncoils the body’s reserve energy and gives power to control the mind.
Guru Nanak’s theory was simple, “All is because all is.” That is Gyan, knowledge, and all you have to learn. All is, all is—accept it. Accept it and it will bring contentment. If you do not accept it, you will be wandering in your own mind.
When a woman is in love with a man her life becomes a prayer for that man. And when a man is in love with a woman, he becomes humble. Although your greatest strength is love, it is not the love you know. In modern times, love provides only emotional co-existence. Men want to conquer women, and women want to conquer men. In reality, men and women should conquer Prakirti, the creativity around them, so that they can find a Creator beyond all layers. The sages found a way. One of these ways you will practice tonight.

Looking to the Higher Self
Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. – May 29th, 2001 – Espanota, NM, USA
Life is basically very secure. Only humans are insecure. We hold onto things and are not sure of tomorrow. Women who practice insecurity and men who practice arrogance are the most dangerous things on the planet. When people say, “Chant the Name of God,” it means that you should look to a higher self than yourself In doing this you feel vast and your problems become small.
While Lord Shiva was teaching Parvati she often fell asleep. It took three lifetimes for Parvati to learn the teachings of her husband. One day she said, “Lord Shiva, ocean of teachings, I am a humble woman. I have taken three lifetimes to hear you, still I can’t reach your teachings. You say it is very easy, I say it is very difficult.” Lord Shiva looked at her and said, “Do you really want to learn, or are you asking for arguments’ sake?” Women were arguing then and they are arguing now. To help a woman find a real mate, she has been given a special sixth sense to argue. Arguing is a woman’s treat. A man’s treat is to smile. When a woman argues, just smile, drink a glass of water and get out of the house as fast as you can.
Parvati replied, “Really, Lord, I want to learn!” Shiva said, “Then keep obeying whatever I will say. You will become obedient and the knowledge of Infinity will be with you.” Parvati did it. When a woman does not feel that she is a female, a shakti, it is a tragedy. When women says, “I don’t know,” “I can’t deal with it,” they are not taking long breaths, they cut the psyche. Men have a very different approach. They say, I’ll think it over and call you back.” It is actually a man’s way of resting his brain.

MEDITATION – For Inner Strength
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Extend the arms slightly up and forward at 45 degrees angles. Both hands are in receptive Gyan Mudra. Eyes are closed. Whistle in deeply, hold, and then Cannon Fire Exhale. Continue for 11 minutes. To end, inhale deeply, hold, straighten the spine, and then Cannon Fire Exhale. Repeat 2 more times, holding the breath and tightening every fiber of your body. Relax.
Whistling on the inhalation vibrates the breath with saliva which has a very magnetic affect on the body. The cannon fire exhalation takes away all that is not needed by your being. The arm position works on important meridian points and the posture gives you self-containment. If you do this meditation 11 minutes a day soon you will be a changed person. Things will start happening. Your strength can help a lot of people. To walk in this Information Age you need temperament, manners, courage, endurance, communication and mutual understanding. I hope you will do it all.
Lecture: Reflecting Identities
There is a human need to reflect your identity. You will reflect your identity so you can affect the identity. This is how we mutually talk to each other. We are social. Sometimes in this reflection the psyche gets entangled and we are deeply in love. When we cannot follow the rhythm of our own psyche, we deflect ourselves and we lose the relationship.
The relationship between two individual identities has to be decided on values. If a woman wants what she wants but has minus values, she is self-destructive. If a man wants something with no positive values, he is not going to work it out. If commotions could make emotion, and our feelings are all healing, we would be living in the heavens. If you are dealing with somebody who is insane and has emotions and commotion, who is neurotic, useless, hopeless—still that person has an identity. You have to reflect that identity when you make a decision.
Life has a simple challenge. Act, do not react. Calm yourself and claim yourself. When you reflect like a torch, it takes away the darkness for a long distance. When you reflect, your psyche takes away indifference for a long distance. When you speak for yourself, or somebody speaks for you, there is somebody else who speaks for you—your character and projection. That is yourself. Your self is the strongest thing you have. If you doubt within your self, act and react, if you answer the call of dharma and have no heart in it—you will never make sense. You need higher energy, your higher psyche, which should purify you so you can enjoy life.
An unstable man was advised to practice the one minute breath meditation for 31 minutes a day. Today he is grateful to have become successful and compassionate. He has realized himself. Why? You live by breath and die by breath. If you meditate on your breath, then through Pavan Guru, the Pranic Vidya—the knowledge of prana, of creation and creativity and of all incarnations, will dawn on you. You will start winning your self, start valuing your breath, valuing your environments, valuing your projection. And in this way everyone will in turn value you.
In the company of the holy congregation, sharing our psyche, our flow of the identity for each other, our understanding, we go across all difficulties. In doing so, we change our psyche. That enrichment which happens, those 30 trillion cells and a most booming power in the universe, creates a sense of purity and piety. The purpose of this congregation is to elevate ourselves. When you elevate, it is like the person who climbs high up a tree to escape a lion, rather than running from the lion. When calamity hits you—elevate yourself!
We must learn to meditate on our breath. Breath is God in us. Breath is life in us. Breath is us.

Lecture
First you were conceived. After conception you grew. During the last two months of pregnancy, a mother becomes very, very radiant because there is a life in her. Then you are delivered, you start breathing and needing food. Similarly, you conceive a thought out of thousand thoughts per blink of the eye. That thought grows and has feelings. Each feeling becomes a desire, and then manifests—like your life. Out of billions of feelings, a million emotions attach to it, and then you deliver. You deliver a baby because you have a desire. Your desires have hopes, opinions and ideas—like those of a baby.You can have a good son, a mediocre son or a good-for-nothing son. In the same way, a thought becomes a good desire, a mediocre desire and a good-for-nothing desire. This desire is your desire, and so you have prejudices. And prejudices create party alliances. Hitler created a mass movement out of individuals. When you create a flood, it sweeps the land. People become territorial and fight. Man becomes the enemy of man.
In reality, man becomes the enemy of himself. Why? You have not found yourself. You have not told your mind, “Oh my mind, you are the personification of the Light of God. Understand your Essence.” Instead you say, “I have this habit, I have this neurosis.” They are not yours— they are the thoughts you perceive and the prejudices you conceive. You block yourself and do not allow your radiant, most beautiful, most powerful soul to shine. When a lamp becomes dirty from burning through many incarnations, no light can come through it. That person’s existence emits crudeness, animosity, jealousy, rudeness. God made him in His own Image. He is part of His Light. He should be bright, beautiful, bountiful, blissful.

“There are two ways of earning a universal consciousness. One is through hardship; the other is an easy way—mantra. But there is difficulty with mantra yoga.

BUJUNG KRIYA – For Wisdom and Understanding
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Form a cup with the left hand at the navel. The right hand is held in Gyan Mudra to the side at neck height with the elbow relaxed down. Put your tongue out, keeping it flat, and firmly lock it in position with your front teeth. Eyes are closed. Breathe deeply, sucking the air around the sides of the tongue. Continue for 11–31 minutes (never go more than 31 minutes). To end, perfect the posture, inhale deep, hold, then Cannon Fire Exhale. Repeat 2 more times, tightening the entire body. Relax.
This is the most powerful kriya in the science of yoga. The habit to falsely call, “Wolf! Wolf!” will leave your personality. This breathing will give your nerves standardization while giving power to the central nerve.

If the moon does not reflect the sun and does not wane and wax, there is no growth on the planet. Seeds will sprout and die. The male is a sun—warm, stationary, stable. He shines. If a male does not have these
three qualities, he is not a male. The moon wanes and waxes and reflects the light of the sun. If the male and female get to that relationship they will be prosperous, happy and fulfilled. Otherwise it is push and pull. It becomes a story. You are not part of the story of your life, it is the story of your mother, your father. Your story has to be totally yours, and you have to clean everything out.
There is a sacred law: No matter how poor a woman is, how poor a man is; if they are together there shall be sweet grace, social grace, personal grace and life. But when they are not together, it will not be acceptable. If you openly defy the law of nature, you shall have troubles and suffer.
We develop patterns and become a slave of our patterns. We lose our freedom, our sovereignty, our identity. The problem is that you love each other, live with each other, and at each other, because you cannot digest each other and come to a mutual understanding. Even the moon and sun get eclipsed. You are no exception to the rule. If you decide to do what you are going to do, you must face the consequences. Do not blame others. Blame what is in you that made you start the sequence. If thou shalt not deliver, God shall deliver. When you make an appointment, you will get a disappointment. But if you do not make an appointment, just be yourself—nothing will go wrong for you. You will find a natural path. When you cannot develop your elementary nature, Bhagwati–anything which exists on the Earth, including you—does not touch the boundary of Purkha, the natural Law of Dharma.
Karma has to be paid. Karma is a debt. And karma has to be paid dharmically, religiously. And so we pay homage. Touch the feet of a man of God. Hug him, touch his hand. He will say, “God be with you.” Why? You reach out kindly, humbly—you shall be blessed. It is the law. When you bow you will be blessed. In all your life, your whole incarnation, you need one blessing. That is called “Touch of the Master.” He does not tell you about himself or yourself. He tells you about your destiny and blesses you. Riches and poverty do not make a difference. The person who goes through riches and poverty is you. It is you who matters. It is a simple problem—if you do not touch the Master, you cannot touch the world.
Are your transmission gears right? When the times call on you, do you act and not make a mess of it? When you deliver, a man delivers. When “Thou shall deliver,” then God will deliver. And that is the difference between God and man. Prepare yourself mentally to have a meditative mind, a mental capacity, which automatically changes gears as you face the life.
