... So she(he) came and showed up, what he discussed?

Students: (-----)

YB: SadhanaSadhana , Saadhana A spiritual discipline; the early morning practice of yoga, meditation, and other spiritual exercises. The Aquarian Sadhana can be an individual or group practice; Ideally, it includes the recitation of Japji Sahib, a Kundalini Yoga kriya, and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana meditations, immediately followed by Gurdwara. According to Yogi Bhajan, the potency of any Kundalini Yoga and meditation practice will be enhanced in a group setting. ?

Student: (----)

YB: Oh his Shaman thing, haa...

Students: (-----)

YB: I know, I know, I know, I know better than I know myself. He will take a non-controversial subject. When you teach, you teach with confrontation, not by stimulation because when you teach by stimulation doubts also keep floating, but when you teach by confrontation, it is either or. In that situation at least doubt is dispelled that's the advantage of confrontation. However, you must be aware of the fact that intellect releases one thousand thought per wink of the eye and you can calculate how many wink of the eyes are in a second, multiply it by... and fact is that all these thoughts you want it or you don't want it they do come and when the thoughts come they can only do two things.

Thought can become a feeling or thought can go in subconscious, a feeling can become emotion or feeling can go in subconscious. Emotion can become a desire or it can go in subconscious. Desire can be fulfilled or it can go in subconscious. So you have four cycle pressure in your subconscious to fill it. And if you do not meditate and do not consolidate and do not bring yourself to pratyahar then you are inviting a danger. And that danger is that when your subconscious gets overloaded it starts... your capacity to think to work to be smart is gone. Then you are a emotional zombie.

People in the state become sexually very active, socially very active, and personally very active. Outcome of these habits are the masturbation, too much talking and partying and drinking and zeroing yourself and sexual activity, undesirable perversion. I mean I am telling you what they come from. So actually this loading then becomes unbearable and starts going in unconscious and the tragedy is the unconscious is very small sphere of mind and when that cannot take it, it starts putting it back into consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. . And once consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. is polluted by the unconscious then all you have is the nightmares or daydreams, we call it fantasies.

So if you really when you fantasize with something you understand you are doing great job, actually you are killing your precious PranaPraana , Prana The universal life force that gives motion. It is the breath in air. It is the subtle breath of the purusha as it vibrates with a psychophysical energy or presence. Praana regulates the modes and moods of the mind. and your life will become empty and I'll have a egg, egg will have chicken, chicken will have a hen, hen will have a rooster, rooster will have another egg, we will make a dairy farm and all the eggs will sell in market place, in market place I'll have (?) business and whole state and state will have country... you go on and on and on and on and on. Actually this fantasy and imagination and all the thing is very comfortable. Because you spend nothing, you do nothing, you sweat nothing, and you feel the feeling of a big plaza, big palace, big power. And that's what these drugs do, give you a feeling of non-reality.

But the tragedy is in sociology, sexology and sensology, when you have extended yourself to a dimension, which is non-reality you come back to reality but not in a original way and then there is a gap. That gap is where your caliber is damaged and that's why people are poor and rich, happy, unhappy, great, not great. That's the fact. So what was thought was sit up and meditate and thoughts come, they hit the floor and you say Wahe Wahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul. Also called the gur mantra. GuruWahe Guru , Whaa-hay Guroo A mantra of ecstasy and dwelling in God. It is the Infinite teacher of the soul.

They come this way, you come this way, and clean it out. Getting in the ambrosial hour when Sun is hitting at sixty degree, sitting for hours and exercising, stimulating yourself and then sitting and meditating is just to clean the subconscious. So there maybe another little space left, the other garbage can be set. I mean this is a very personal thing, it's not a big religious thing, I am going to become spiritual, I am going to find God and He is going to give me banana and if I don't do He won't give me a banana! That's not true. Not true.

In Los Angeles I have a friend and I want to share this tragedy with you, and he said, "Yogiji, you must understand, Yogiji you must understand..."

I said, "What I have to understand?"

He said, "That girl you know..." He said, "Just casually..."

I said, "Don't touch it!"

"No Yogiji, yes Yogiji... you know Yogiji..."

I said, "Don't touch it!"

"No Yogiji..."

One day I got fed up with it, I said, "Ya Yogiji, ha Yogiji, go in hell... do it whatever you want."

He did it. Now you know what he tells me, "Oh Yogiji, ha Yogiji, you didn't stop me, you ordered not..."

I said, "What the hell I have to tell you, I have told you thirty thousand times don't do it. Just don't do it."

Because when a teacher does not care for one's own status and thinks he can hide behind the hide of his own ego, respect in the heart of other is gone. It's not a matter of reality or non-reality; it's a matter of moral consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. . It's not that I have not been accused of the bad conduct and illicit relationship or whatever, I am very grateful to United States, they are very nice, they actually want it. And they can't get it; they accuse you, that's fine. But there is a moral sense. There is a moral sense, there is a moral essence, at least you in yourself as a teacher feel yourself clean. I read that, Thou shall not covet the neighbor's wife and something like that because I am not saying you should not covet neighbor's wife and not go after anybody you want and take away their money and everything. I am not worried about it. All I am saying is go ahead and do it and see what it does to you. It will put a shadow on you; you can't get out of it.

You must understand as a teacher, there is a faculty of a teacher and it has no facility. All you are judging as a teacher how popular you are. You must understand me how unpopular I am. I have to be unpopular because in spite of my being unpopular if I am that much popular, you understand if I would have been catering and caring and dramatizing, lalalala... how powerful and populous I could be. It takes five acres of grass to feed three jersey cows and it takes one month of their milk to take the cream and bring out the butter, but it's not anywhere that butter is going to stay until you put it through the test of fire and make out of it clarified butter or you call it gheeGhee Clarified butter. and that can stay.

Teacher is not judged by his popularity, his richness, his money, his knowledge, his essence, teacher is judged by his character. If under all temptations he can fly through he knows how to fly. What is there... you fall apart in money, you fall apart in sex, you fall apart in status. You maybe very popular teacher, and can write few books and everybody may know you but you shall not create another teacher because you never took the responsibility of taking the chisel and hammer and shaping it out. Therefore as a teacher you have to shape your own destiny and experience it before you shape somebody's destiny. It's your responsibility. It is your responsibility... I am not saying don't become popular and don't become this and don't become rich, I am saying do whatever you want to do, just understand one thing,

"Karmee Aapo Aapnee Kay Nayrhai Kay Door"

Nanak said your action will prove how near you are, how far away you are. You see it's very funny, in my personal case where I was a Hollywood teacher, and I had all those people in my class and it's very comfortable situation, I mean there were people with grace, but I satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. on the Juke Savages bus and I just walked away. Ask me why? Because I found in them nothing, their ego was all consuming and a man who is all consuming ego will never become a teacher because he will never become a student. Ask yesterday man and I won't mention the place because he is very respectable man in a honorable place. I said, "What these people go and do there?"

Oh they said, "He pretends from dawn to dusk very holy. At night he is all drinking, smoking and other etcetera, etcetera, etcetera."

What is that? Once a great teacher said and you will read in the books, he said, "If you have a desire you must fulfill it by letting it do, go." Desire is like a fire. How many times you keep on putting wood in the fire and it goes away? The beauty of desire is more you put in it and then deny the desire, now people normally a teacher discusses, desire and deny the desire. That's not correct. That's not correct, that's cheating. That's cheating. Desire cannot be denied. But desire can be elevated. Do not deny the desire and do not fulfill the desire if it does not fit your excellence and honor. No desire is desirable if it does not add to your character and grace because what is your strength, your personal strength as a teacher is your character and what is your power as a teacher? Power of a teacher is a grace.

One person said, "Hi Yogiji, I teach a class."

I said, "How many students come to your class?"

He said, "One or two."

I said, "Can you expand?"

The person said, "I am trying everything, I am putting leaflets, I am putting this, I am putting that."

And I said, "How you survive?"

And the person said, "Barely, barely."

But he said, "These two students come everyday."

And it's on honor basis, they leave sometime fifty bucks, sometime twenty bucks, money wise I don't think I am hurt anywhere. One day the person had a note it said, 'giving a gift of three thousand dollars to be reported therefore I am leaving two thousand ninety... nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars.' Because God can come in any way. And just today it happened today, before I came here somebody gave me one thousand dollars just it was to me, as a teacher, somehow I felt uncomfortable. I looked I counted and I said, "Hundred dollars more."

And I said, "Job you are asking is too big for it but question is at least you can't give me just thousand dollars and get away with it because it's not correct."

I mean it's your money is not mine, I am going to spend it for you, but question is there should be one hundred more just not stuck on a zero man just one more... and they both were laughing because the wife was saying I knew you are going to say that and I even told him and he said, "Oh, no, no, it's all right."

First thing you ask is it's not correct. What you will do if somebody gives you, I am giving you an example. I (?), what you will do if somebody gives you a thousand dollars, just hmm?

Students: (-----)

YB: Now that I did you are not going to ask, I know. What you will do?

Student: (----)

YB: Put it on the altar. You always never put a altar on a zero number, remember this. It has to be zero plus. The word for it is "Swaya." One and a quarter. One is to the one and quarter is the continuity. That's why I asked. You know teacher is a different character with different characteristics because it's not a person. It's a pure extended self of the student. Therefore it has no boundary, no jurisdiction but to be straight, asking one hundred dollars more brought joy and love and understanding and understanding in the sense they knew it and they gave it in a little purse, in the sense it was not counted for. And I said, "What is this?"

He said, "Well, somebody has brought this to you."

And I opened the zip and there was money and I zipped it back and I said, "It's not right. Let's count it."

All these faculties as a teacher will come to you because you will also understand what the desire is, what the prayer is and what fulfillment is and they are asking you to augment, money is not a situation, money is a media. But this time at summer solstice I asked, 'I have a noble work I'll need money, give me out of your heart,' I had no right to ask. But I knew I'll ask they will give me. And almost it came exactly what was needed and some beautiful people for beautiful reason will go and educate in their life. You are participating in life. But it's not a matter of temptation. Your glory is not temptation; your grace is not a temptation. It's not either a achievement, you have to create in your lifetime somebody ten times better than you. That's the first and the last job of a teacher.

You will find great teachers with great egos. And you will also find great teachers with a lot of knowledge. You will also find great teacher who will talk and convince you of their Divinity and I mean you can find anybody; nobody is going to kick your ass. You will never meet a teacher who face you from the neck and put two fingers in your nose and say, "You son of so and so, how yesterday at five O' clock you were doing this?" It's a practical fact, it's no joke. Because you do not understand the relationship, relationship between a teacher and a student is teacher is in pain that student is not progressing, (?) terrible that he is going to go impotent, orphan, without any child and the only child he is looking at is that student who is going to be greater than him to cover his shortcoming and expand it.

It's not how many come to your classes, how many you screw and how many you fuck and how many you kiss and how many you hug, how much influence you have and how many VIPs you know, how many great persons... whatever you want to call... how much you are invited and how much you are circulated. That has nothing to do damn it! It has nothing to do. As a teacher you are a teacher. Not a creature not a preacher.

The story of a teacher is there was a man sitting with a loincloth on a hill and he was doing like this, exercising and too old and he couldn't move and he was jerking around and the king of the state brought horses, men, wealth, food, touched his feet, he was still doing. He said, "Oh master, I am the imperial self of this area."

He said, "I know you are my king, thank you."

He said, "I have brought you this offering."

He said, "Thank you."

He said, "Bless me!"

He said, "You are blessed, thank you."

He said, "Give me some orders."

He said, "Pack it up and go!"

He said, "No, no, no master, no master."

He said, "What you came for I have blessed you, take it and go, take it, I am fine, don't interfere with my exercise."

He said, "No master, please bless me, please bless me."

He said, "You are blessed, blessed, blessed, as many times blessed means anything you are blessed."

So he said, "Well, give me something to do."

He said, "Pack up your all gifts and go home. Leave me alone here. I mean to say I don't want to have guards and all that stuff."

He said, "I can provide it, I'll build it up, whatever you want."

He said, "I don't need it. I want a place to move and you are stopping me from all this, my joy of being nothing."

And he said, "No, no, master it's not... you are the greatest master, I have a tragedy I never served you I am very guilty, obligated and... I am the great giver."

And teacher laughed, he said, "I am the greatest denial if you want to know. You are not going to give me anything."

I remember this question, he asked, he said, "Master, why?"

He said, "All the wealth is loaded in the sky, it comes down through the drops and nurtures the Earth and one who loves me can pick up the water from the ocean through the clouds, through the mountains and rain, and the brooks and the river and create that cycle, knows me and I am not going to ask something else or somebody else."

He said, "Lord Master, I have brought this wealth, you know what you can do? We can build here, people can come, worship, all religious purposes."

He said, "The greatest religious job you have done to come through this hilly tracks, seventeen miles. And my calculation was wrong I thought you can never reach it. But you made it and just face me, wasn't something very pure you (?)."

He said, "That's true."

Calamity sometime brings you in spiritual climax. Calamity sometimes brings in you the spiritual climax. Challenge is not bad. And actually telling you frankly teacher must have a moral, ethical, personal authority to do what he has to do. When I started in Hollywood, we used to have people. Even people tell me now in my sometime classes the overflow of GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. Singh's classes come true. But I don't know them, I just think artificial blonde girls with lot of stuff, they come for Yoga Class, what should I do? Who are they? And sometime I go home and they say, "Look at the magazine, look at the front page, this was the girl who was sitting on the left side of you and this was sitting on the right side of you." I say, "Nobody was sitting on head of me, that's all (?) in grace. They came to the class, God bless them, bless them, bless them, bless them, I don't know. They are on the front of the magazine or on the back of the magazine. So long they don't sit on my head, I am okay." Because I go in a class to teach not to count how many... what you call them celebrity stars or those who show the clothes, what they call them? Models. See how naïve I am in a certain way. I go and teach a class and finish with it. I am not looking at all these alphabets.

I go teach class, finish the class, I can understand; all I know is that doesn't matter what I teach once the arc line and auraAura The radiant field of energy and consciousness that surrounds the physical body and which holds and organizes the seven centers of energy called chakras. Its strength, measured by brightness and radius, determines the vitality, mental concerns, and psychophysical integrity of a person. coincide to be blue in a golden (?) job is done. It's time to go home. It means that day the purification has happened. There is nothing to factual rivalry that I am a good teacher, I am a bad teacher, I am a right teacher, I am a wrong teacher. So long I know there are teachings and I am carrying and sharing them as they are, in the purity of the teachings lies the purity of the teacher, there is no other rule. I don't mind to I mean to say you have the right to joke, you can add astrology, astronomy or whatever you want to talk but you know then you are not a astrologer when you say Ong Namo GuruGuru That which takes us from ignorance to knowledge; from darkness, gu, to light, ru. It can be a person, a teaching, or in its most subtle form - the Word. Dev Namo.

I read an Ad, I didn't bring it with me, I should have read it to you. I don't believe that. The Ad was given for KundaliniKundalini Comes from the word "kundal"; coiled energy; the creative potential of an individual. Kundalini Yoga It is a Raaj Yoga that creates vitality in the body, balance in the mind, and openness to the spirit. It is used by the householder, busy in the world, to create immediate clarity. The fourth Guru in the Sikh tradition, Guru Ram Das, was acknowledged as the greatest Raaj Yogi. (See Raaj Yogi.) He opened this long secret tradition to all.

Side B

To myself. God, do they know what a soul mate is? You have soul mates, you have a soul mate intellect, intelligent, consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being. In the realm of nature, awareness becomes consciousness. It is from the being itself. Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. , subconsciousness, unconsciousness, and you have ten bodiesTen Bodies We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. In order to have this experience the spirit takes on 10 bodies or vehicles. They are the Soul Body, the three Mental Bodies (Negative, Positive, and Neutral Minds), the Physical Body, Pranic Body, Arcline Body, Auric Body, Subtle Body, and Radiant Body. Each body has its own quality, function, and realm of action. . They are the mates of your... they come with the souls. They all. So in your soul mate system you have bodies and you have aspects of your mind together and then you have a soul mate, which is called time and space and longitude and latitude. It's all is a mating season of you and your self and then you take the altitude and attitude to keep all these sixteen horses going. So you can carry your carriage. So actually soul mate is not another person or out of... there is nothing outside you, a teacher who feels there is something outside you, something is supporting, something is loving, something is caring, something is denying, something... because if you say outside you there is a positive then remember outside you there is negative.

If there is positive there is negative. You can't be neutral, you will be churned like churn wheel. And you shall never find contentment, stability and self-happiness as a teacher. You will be a teacher, I am not saying you will not be teacher, but you deny yourself. There is no good and bad, there is no right and wrong, there is no high and low, a YogiYogi One who has attained a state of yoga (union) where polarities are mastered and transcended. One who practices the disciplines of yoga and has attained self-mastery. is a person to whom the opposite polarities do not affect. They do not affect, he recognized there are polarities, you want to do Moon KriyaKriya Literal meaning is "completed action." A Kundalini Yoga Kriya is a sequence of postures and yoga techniques used to produce a particular impact on the psyche, body, or self. The structure of each kriya has been designed to generate, organize, and deliver a particular state or change of state, thereby completing a cycle of effect. These effects have been codified and elaborated by Yogi Bhajan and form the basic tools used in yoga and its therapeutic applications. ?

Students: Yes sir.

YB: Ready? All right, come on. Put that tape, that drums those, European drums, and this is a Moon area. It hurts but please don't make them black, I did one day and four days neither I could open my... it was horrible. I just went into it. It is just with those drum beat you know Har Har Har Har Har Har... twist it and that way you will beat less otherwise you will go insane and beat hard, it's terrible. Don't do that, all right go ahead.

(Drums tape is played)

YB: (over the tape) Pull the navel also. Better. Experience, experience, it's a good thing. You have last minute to try your luck. Inhale.

(Tape stops)

And please if you are not in the whole exercise touch your Moon center, Moon point here, hit it and do it now, hit and exhale. Inhale deep, do it again, exhale, inhale and relax. You are pretty good, you have couple minutes nice. This is Moon center and with the navel and with the tip of the tongue and you hit this nerve center. Aah it's fine. Sometime it gives you clarity and reality faster than anything else. You know question is not in life how strong and energetic you are, it's all dialogue going on, be energetic, be strong, must have energy, people talk to me energy, energy, what about eliminating fatigue. You don't live, I don't want fatigue, I don't want tension, I don't want, no, no, no, Satvic, Satvic, Satvic is life without fatigue, tension, it's called calm and cool.

You always feel you are great when you are very energetic, right? There is a feeling about. Aha, actually you are great when you are sober, calm, sustained self, saintly. Teacher is a process to make saints, sages, giver, Godly, graceful. Teacher is a factory to manifest all this. Teacher is not a egomaniac playboy. You know one thing you must understand it doesn't matter somebody hears you or not but as a teacher when you speak from command center and say you got to stop it and things stops. But when you will never stop and never obey, how you can command? And my first thing is to stop your mind. People say, 'what is Japa, what is this, what is mantraMantra Sounds or words that tune or control the mind. Man means mind. Tra-ng is the wave or movement of the mind. Mantra is a wave, a repetition of sound and rhythm that directs or controls the mind. When you recite a mantra you have impact through the meridian points in the mouth, through its meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its rhythm, and through its naad - energetic shape in time. Recited correctly a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it. , what is it?'

Stop... you know if there is a temptation, and you can really grab it, stop it and see how best comes to you. Don't grab what you can get, get what is going to be given but God is going to give you; it will be mega multi time more than what you are going to ask. You may ask for a pizza, you may end up with a factory. Yeah, somebody once said, "God bless I like biscuits!" She end up working in a biscuit factory, God, she is still working in biscuits. You don't know. Sometime you feel, 'Well I can divorce my husband, I can marry this person,' you know. In some cases you feel it works. It doesn't work. Because you have not finished the KarmaKarma The law of cause and effect applied to mental, moral, and physical actions. Ego attaches us to and identifies us with objects, feelings, and thoughts. These attachments create a bias toward certain lines of action. Instead of acting you begin reacting. Karmas are the conditions required in order to balance or complete these tendencies. Though necessary, karma is not dictatorial or fatalistic. It is the mechanism that allows the finite experience of existence to maintain and stabilize itself. We all have free will and can take actions to re-direct the momentum of a karma. We can transform it or neutralize it using meditation, jappa, good deeds, or intuition that remove your sense of ego and the identification with that past line of action. . You jump the boat. So union and departure is not the achievement. You are playing in the hand of the time and teacher doesn't play in the hand of time. If there is to suffer, suffer, if you are happy, happy, if you have good time, good time, if horrible time then enjoy it. Enjoy your day.

Students sing: May the long time Sun shine upon you...
