“Technically, the best approach is to do jappa—repeat the words and mantras we use in Kundalini Yoga and from the Shabd Guru. To some that looks insane. But we repeat those words for a purpose and a specific effect. When we repeat those sounds, the tongue touches the upper palate’s meridian points. This alerts the thalamus and hypothalamus of the brain. We can control the brain’s function and level by our use of the shabd. We can settle the function and frequency of the mental projections. Then you can relax and be factual and be present.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “To win the game of life you must have caliber. To have caliber you must have an Applied Mind.” – Yogi Bhajan
“To win the game of life you must have caliber. To have caliber you must have an Applied Mind. An Applied Mind is a mind that processes everything positive and negative then acts from the Neutral Mind to express you. The Applied Mind uses the Neutral Mind to assess all positive and negative, but does not react on that basis. It acts to cause a cause that leads to the fulfillment of you and your destiny, you andyour highest identity.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “I want to share with you the beauty, the wonders of the human mind. I want you to understand that your mental faculty is not only a power, it is the greatest power, and it is at your call.” – Yogi Bhajan
“I want to share with you the beauty, the wonders of the human mind. I want you to understand that your mental faculty is not only a power, it is the greatest power, and it is at your call. I am not sharing this to be a professional lecturer or even to start some industry. I want to share some simple truths, which are timeless, and which let you live wonderfully as a human being under all the challenges we have to face. I know for all my best efforts, many of you will not understand the depth and effectiveness of these truths now. You were trained to prefer emotions and your own fears above simple truth. When you clear your mind and come to the state of fearlessness, then you will understand these truths, their applications, and implications.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “The Age is shifting. We had the Industrial Age, then the Information Revolution, and now we are crossing into the Aquarian Age. ” – Yogi Bhajan
“The Age is shifting. We had the Industrial Age, then the Information Revolution, and now we are crossing into the Aquarian Age. This will be the Age of Awareness. We will be overloaded with information and our psyches will become more sensitive. It will be essential for each of us to know our mind and command it with our meditative mind. Without control of those many facets, the undirected mind will create depressions, delusions, identity splits, and a deep core feeling of emptiness. It will be our duty, and a fundamental requirement of our future lives, to meditate and to command the mind.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Periodic fasting is well known to clear the mind and to adjust our relationship to many of our emotions and impulses.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Periodic fasting is well known to clear the mind and to adjust our relationship to many of our emotions and impulses. Take the example of Mahatma Ghandi. He fasted, lived simply, and when he died the entire world acknowledged him. Right or wrong, his mind was coherent and his mind awakened the acknowledgement of the psyche of the entire globe.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Normally, your mind doesn’t work that well. You forget to develop the meditative mind and your awareness.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Normally, your mind doesn’t work that well. You forget to develop the meditative mind and your awareness. You forget to care for this body as a temple and as a most sophisticated creation and instrument. Your brain cannot compute well because your hormonal and neurochemical base is poor. Then your power, which is in your basic structure and brain, is not facilitated to understand, to analyze in depth, to compute, and reconstruct the thought forms of your entire psyche. Further, you are not trained to use your mind to synchronize your own magnetic field with the cosmic magnetic field, which has a complete interconnection with all other humans, other existences, and realms of material existence. That synchronization gives you guidance and pathways through every problem. Did you know that? Do you know that as an experience, as a practical skill?” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “In any exercise which touches the mind, a person starts getting upset in exactly two and half minutes.” – Yogi Bhajan
“In any exercise which touches the mind, a person starts getting upset in exactly two and half minutes. That’s the rule of thumb. The mind doesn’t want to be caught. It wants to swing. But there are some people like us who feel that it’s hard work to control the mind, but once we control the mind, then we can control the whole world.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Now you will ask me if a mind can be controlled. Yes. Not only can your mind be controlled, your life can be controlled.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Now you will ask me if a mind can be controlled. Yes. Not only can your mind be controlled, your life can be controlled. A situation can be controlled. Sometime you get into very, very, very ugly situation. If you have the practice to switch your breath to the left nostril you will get out of it in two seconds. The moment you start breathing with your left nostril, your elementary self will come in play. Moment your elementary self comes in play, your totality of the mind becomes one unit to confirm and it puts the radiance shield of your body and you will immediately become very pleasant and positive rather than angry and reactive. Some people train themselves to breathe through any nostril they choose. But many of you have not practiced that, and therefore you use your hand to close your right nostril. Long, deep breathing through the left nostril is good for the heart and good for the health. It will calm you down.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Mind is a link between Infinity and you.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Mind is a link between Infinity and you. When the soul got the body, the soul asked God, ‘What is my link with you, my Lord?’ And God said, ‘Mind.’ Mind can take you into any thought, beyond thought, and unto Infinity. Mind can take you into any dungeon, any pit, and any negativity. Mind has no limit in its own self. But mind is your servant. If the mind becomes your master, you don’t have a chance. It is very essential in yoga that we know our own mind.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “In the spiritual world we are responsible to take the person towards Infinity. ” – Yogi Bhajan
“In the spiritual world we are responsible to take the person towards Infinity. We are responsible to the whole self and to the destiny in the person. That is why we are direct. Our guidance may take one minute or many hours. That is why we poke, provoke, confront, and elevate. We must speak in a way that confronts you with your self and that adjusts the relationship to your mind based on your reality, identity, and basic nature.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “If you feel you can’t believe anybody or anything, fine. Don’t. Instead believe in yourself.” – Yogi Bhajan
“If you feel you can’t believe anybody or anything, fine. Don’t. Instead believe in yourself. Wake up and go deeply in your self. Master the mind. Get to the essence and process of your own life. Stop playing games. If you find I am wrong in my statements, then try to be right and exalt, elevate, and take care of yourself.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “In meditation you begin to realize that there is a world of you.” – Yogi Bhajan
“In meditation you begin to realize that there is a world of you. There is a world of your mind, and a world of you. In the world of you, in your basic elementary situation, in your identity, your mind is your servant not your master. That is why we do Kundalini Yoga. That is why we do sadhana.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Left nostril breathing gives you self-endurance, self effectiveness, and self respect. ” – Yogi Bhajan
“Left nostril breathing gives you self-endurance, self effectiveness, and self respect. Right nostril breathing gives you projection, sacrifice, power to attach, power to penetrate, and power to exert. That is why God gave you both nostrils.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “Be conscious that even with the breath held out, you are still alive.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Be conscious that even with the breath held out, you are still alive. A lot of problems in family and social relationships are because you don’t have control over the breath. The beauty of life is based on the breath. Breath is the link between you and God and the breath of life is what gives you the sensitivity to your environment.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “You have to develop the sensitivity of the brain that lets you know the truth: the Unknown is known to me.” – Yogi Bhajan
You have to develop the sensitivity of the brain that lets you know the truth: the Unknown is known to me. The same sensitivity that is totality and Infinity in every unique human being and can only be achieved through discipline. Discipline of the consciousness is the acknowledgement of the spirit. All human difficulties can be eliminated once you have a harmony between conscious mind and subconscious mind toward the supreme conscious mind.. .Harmony between conscious and subconscious is a gateway to Infinity and that is the spirit we are talking about.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “You must understand, what you call living is just the continual vibration of breath coming in and out” – Yogi Bhajan
“You must understand, what you call living is just the continual vibration of breath coming in and out. Just delay it either way and intellect must immediately stop giving thoughts. Moment the link of thought wave will stop, you won’t perceive emotion… so simple. It doesn’t take much for you to work on that. Simply you should be conscious of the breath.” Yogi Bhajan
