“When we connect to that integrity…

SSSYWa“When we connect to that integrity, we will project that consciousness along well-defined paths and conceptions of our self.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“At any stage of our life…

SSSYWa“At any stage of our life, if we can very sincerely and very honestly relate to the integrity of our own consciousness and start living consciously, we will start living happily.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“I say to you today, if God has blessed you with a desire for conscious living…

SSSYWa“I say to you today, if God has blessed you with a desire for conscious living and has given you a spiritual path, then take it. Walk with it. Excel in it. Grow with it. 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…”

“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact…

SSSYWa“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact: you, as a living consciousness, are subject to time and space. It takes time to do something, and it requires space to do it in. But the mind by nature is faster than time and space. This is a split.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

“If you do not find that ground where you and your mind can meet…

SSSYWa“If  you do not find that ground where you and your mind can meet, you become nothing but a suffering man.” Yogi Bhajanworriedmonk

“If you do not depend directly on your consciousness…

SSSYWa“If you do not depend directly on your consciousness, you are not you at all. When you are not you in the beginning and core of each action, then there is nothing you can do which will be true, and there is nothing you can do which can make you happy.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

Every normal person thinks, imagines and projects…

SSSYWa“Every normal person thinks, imagines, and projects through the mind. You ultimately identify with your mind and become dependent on the mind. The reality is that you should not depend on your mind. Instead, you should project from the point of view of your consciousness.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

You are nothing but a potential living consciousness…

SSSYWa“You are nothing but a potential living consciousness. Your basic necessity, the drive of your elemental self is to become practical, grassroots, living consciousness  – potential living consciousness to practical living consciousness.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

Which brings us back to sadhana…

SSSYWa“Which brings us back to sadhana. That is where you sit, dwell in the thoughts and words of the soul, and peel away all your non-reality with the vastness of your spirit. If you train your mind this way, then you will discover something for your self. If you live in absolute fearlessness, God will live in you because fear and truth cannot go together.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

When you act out of fear…

SSSYWa“When you act out of fear you try to draw attention to yourself out of any insanity you can create. Seeking the attention comes from your darkness and insanity. Creativity and love come from your sensitivity.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

You are never separated from God or your soul…

SSSYWa“You are never separated from God or your soul. You come to this planet not to seek anything. You come to recognize God and realize your soul.” Yogi Bhajan
