Know the male,
yet keep to the female:
receive the world in your arms.
If you receive the world,
the Tao will never leave you
and you will be like a little child.

Thoughts and impulses /
come and go in the silence /
let them flow freely
Keep on the path to liberation. Acknowledge your thoughts and impulses without letting them dominate your intentions and actions. Watch the flow of your existence without being caught up in surrounding events.

Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises: The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now. Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows. This is no mistake. SITUATION ANALYSIS: There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition. To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you. To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand. Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility. Be. Here. Now.
Six in the fourth place means:He keeps his trunk still through flexibility. Faultless. Keeping his trunk still. No blame.

| As has been pointed out above in the comment on the Judgement, keeping the back at rest means forgetting the ego. This is the highest stage of rest. Here this stage has not yet been reached: the individual in this instance, though able to keep the ego, with its thoughts and impulses, in a state of rest, is not yet quite liberated from its dominance. Nonetheless, keeping the heart at rest is an important function, leading in the end to the complete elimination of egotistic drives. Even though at this point one does not yet remain free from all the dangers of doubt and unrest, this frame of mind is not a mistake, as it leads ultimately to that other, higher level. |
Fire rises hot and bright from the Wood beneath the sacrificial caldron: The Superior Person positions himself correctly within the flow of Cosmic forces. Supreme Accomplishment. SITUATION ANALYSIS: Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos. Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law. Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao. You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.
“Advise only those whom your advice suits. Never advise a monkey, he will mess up your house. Never give advice to anybody if you don’t want enemies.” Yogi Bhajan
Meditation: LA031 19780423 – Ad Nad Kriya – Gupt Gian Shakti the Secret Power of the Knowledge
A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.
Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn’t reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn’t waste anything.
This is called embodying the light. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 27 – A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving”
“Why are we limited? Because of lack of wisdom through knowledge. If you know wisdom and then you go through an experience, you have knowledge. Then you are one step higher and one step higher and one step higher. Any wisdom which you experience within yourself becomes a knowledge within you. A man of wisdom will fall. A man of knowledge will never fall.” Yogi Bhajan
Meditation: NM0337-Bujung Kriya – For Wisdom and Understanding
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)

“Your deeds should be honorable as you want to be received by God. And your deeds cannot be honorable unless you have honorable intentions. If you want to kill someone, first you must kill your own feelings. If you want to take from someone, first take away your own pride.” Yogi Bhajan
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.”
“Whether you believe me or not, there is a chance for every man to become a perfect saint. If your mental attitude is perfect and security and calmness is achieved inside, everything, all the material world, will relate to you outside.” Yogi Bhajan
Meditation: NM0420-20011015 – The Power of Memories – Remember the Saint Within
He who stands on tiptoe
doesn’t stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
doesn’t go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can’t know who he really is.

“Actually, the person who has realized God is very humble. A man who has seen millions of dollars and tons of jewelry is not going to snatch your watch. The man who feels the Creator of this creation will be in such ecstasy that he achieves humility.” Yogi Bhajan
Express yourself completely,
then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature:
when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.

“If you achieve righteousness throughout your life and conversation, it doesn’t matter who you are or to whom you belong. The goal is achieved.” Yogi Bhajan
If you want to become whole,
let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight,
let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.
“Where is the limit of a person? How can you be limited? A person is limited according to his attachment. It doesn’t matter what you have or what you don’t have; it matters only how easily you can let go.” Yogi Bhajan
The Master keeps her mind
always at one with the Tao;
that is what gives her her radiance.
The Tao is ungraspable.
How can her mind be at one with it?
Because she doesn’t cling to ideas. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 21 – The Master keeps her mind always at one with the Tao; that is what gives her her radiance.”
