“Success, happiness, and constant prosperity are the result…

You will be happy and fulfilled in your life.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““Success, happiness, and constant prosperity are the result…”

“When you come from your consciousness, you need not match those who do not…

“The attitude of conscious living is to love…

SSSYWa“The attitude of conscious living is to love and give grace to someone worthy of your trust. Even if you know a person who is hopeless and good for nothing, still love him. Never trust him. You have that right; that is up to your own conscience and intuition.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“What is it like to live with this habit…

SSSYWa“What is it like to live with this habit to relate from your consciousness? Hate nobody; love everybody. It won’t cost you anything. Love never costs anything. Love is the most selfish act. It gives you so much protection, grace, and radiance.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“The one who works and makes others to work selflessly…

SSSYWaThe one who works and makes others to work selflessly is a Karma Yogi. One who lives religiously and inspires others to join is a Dharam Yogi.

Then the most fascinating experience is that everything with grow with you.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““I say to you today, if God has blessed you with a desire for conscious living…”

“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…

SSSYWa“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious. It is all you and it is all about you. When you live consciously, you make a choice. That choice has to be valid and fully from the heart; a choice without duality and with complete clarity. Then you direct your mind – your head – to act on it. You direct your mind to commit and go for the goal you choose.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…”

“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…

SSSYWa“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent. It is a life with no juice, no essence, no heart, and no reality. It lacks confidence, penetration, and impact. The mind was given to you to relate to Infinity, and consciousness was given to you to live. If you react and project mentally, and then depend on that, you as you are just zero. Anything multiplied by zero will become zero. With this habit even your elemental personality will eventually become zero and leave no trace.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…”

“You and your mind must meet…

SSSYWa“You and your mind must meet. If you rush ahead of your time and space, if you depend on the shortcuts your mind projects, your life will be half digested, and you will carry a bad smell.” Yogi Bhajan

“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…

SSSYWa“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it. It takes a thought and magnifies it, twists it left and right, and creates many short cuts, illusions, dreams, and temptations. It creates a mirage, and asks you to walk on it! Continue reading ““You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…”
