“The first teacher is the mother; then the next teacher is the father; then the environment; and then God. When a person has devotion, his vibratory effect is totally exact. When the truth is totally exact or the vibratory effect is totally resolved into a complete surrender of receptivity, individuality becomes totality because everything is nothing but a consciousness, and consciousness cannot exist without vibration. Therefore, there is not consciousness without vibration.” Yogi Bhajan

Tao Te Ching – Verse 26 – The heavy is the root of the light. The unmoved is the source of all movement.
Tao Te Ching – Verse 26
The heavy is the root of the light.
The unmoved is the source of all movement.
Thus the Master travels all day
without leaving home.
However splendid the views,
she stays serenely in herself.
Why should the lord of the country
flit about like a fool?
If you let yourself be blown to and fro,
you lose touch with your root.
If you let restlessness move you,
you lose touch with who you are.
(translation by Stephen Mitchell, 1995)

Today: “One guru will not suit everybody. All minds are different. There are three minds: the gunas—sattwa, rajas, and tamas.” Yogi Bhajan
“One guru will not suit everybody. All minds are different. There are three minds: the gunas—sattwa, rajas, and tamas. A person who by habit is a guru shall cater to all these three gunas at the level of that guna. A guru will come to the level required and still be a guru. A guru is the most flexible man. He must cater at every level because he is a channel through which wisdom flows; therefore, his channel must fit in everywhere.” Yogi Bhajan

Tao Te Ching – Verse 25
There was something formless and perfect
before the universe was born.
It is serene. Empty.
Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the mother of the universe.
For lack of a better name,
I call it the Tao.
It flows through all things,
inside and outside, and returns
to the origin of all things. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 25 – There was something formless and perfect before the universe was born.”

“Here is a life schedule. For the first twenty-five years, gain knowledge; for the second twenty-five years, experience that knowledge in existence with humility in the grace of the self in relation to the creativity of the Universal Infinity, which means in one word, God; for the third twenty-five years, spread and share; for the last twenty-five years, get ready to go. That covers one hundred years and if death comes earlier, great. The earlier, the better.” Yogi Bhajan

doesn’t go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself

Today: “What is kundalini? The energy of the glandular system combines with the nervous system to become more sensitive…” Yogi Bhajan
“What is kundalini? The energy of the glandular system combines with the nervous system to become more sensitive so that the totality of the brain perceives signals and interprets them, so that the effect of the sequence of the cause becomes very clear to the man. In other words, man becomes totally, wholesomely aware. That is why we call it the yoga of awareness. And as the rivers end up in the same ocean, all yoga ends up by raising the kundalini in the man. What is the kundalini? The creative potential of the man.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “Yogi Bhajan’s original Yogi Tea Recipe”
The following is the original recipe given by Yogi Bhajan:*
In a large pot, bring 2.8 litres (3 quarts) of water to a boil. Then add:
- 20 whole cloves
- 20 whole green cardamom pods (optional: gently crush them under a rolling pin or with a mortar and pestle to open them up)
- 20 whole black peppercorns
- 5 sticks of cinnamon
- Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger
Continue boiling for 15-20 minutes, and then add: ¼ tsp of a mild black tea (Golden Assam is recommended)
After another minute or two, add ½ pint of milk per pint of remaining liquid. The original recipe calls for cow’s milk but any type of milk is fine – cow, goat, almond, soy, hemp, etc. There is no need to measure the milk, just eyeball it.
Optional: add honey or other sweetener to taste.
Each of the ingredients in Yogi Tea has healing properties. The black pepper is a blood purifier and aids in digestion. Cardamom is good for the colon and can help relieve depression. Cloves strengthen the immune and nervous systems. Cinnamon is antibacterial, loaded with antioxidants and is good for the bones. Ginger root is great for the nervous system and is energizing.
Increasingly, people are choosing to cut caffeine from their diets. A wise decision for a number of reasons, but the black tea in Yogi Tea helps the ingredients amalgamate. In other words, the black tea makes Yogi Tea more potent as a healing agent. A compromise: after the spices have cooked for 20 minutes, take a tea ball or bag and swirl it around the pot a few times.
*Yogi Bhajan’s Original Recipe appears in Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa (1996).
