.... Oh! Siri Brahm Kiran Kaur, you have come to the class, far out. After a long time. All right, dictate the subject.

Student: (----).

YB: Today we are completing the second part of it. That is 'Me and my universal 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. .' Very easy to say and very, very difficult to be. All right, life has a motivation; we are all governed by the motivating force. We all go by our own faculty of life. We have a very great zeal of life. But the problem is in the sophisticated manner we have a zeal of life, we feel life, we are alive, but we don't live. Now that's the only problem. It's just like you are married, you live, you eat and you know and you sleep with a woman, but you don't talk to each other. It is exactly... You can understand from the physical example, I am not making you sexy by giving this physical example. I am trying to tell you exactly how comparatively you can measure that. It is just like that you are living a married life and you are very good at it. You do everything, which is right but don't talk to each other. You understand the impact of it? Exactly this way we want to live, we are alive, we are going to live, we are trying to live, and we have approached to live, but we don't talk to our life. We don't say, "My life, welcome how are you?"

Now tell me honestly how many of you have done this? Before I open this subject you never knew that it is supposed to be. You are supposed to talk to everybody else, you are supposed to talk to your mom in New York, you are supposed to talk to some friend in Hawaii, you are supposed to talk to ex-boyfriend, future boyfriend, I mean, you are crazy Americans all the time, you are telephone box, chatter box. All right, take that example that you talk and you talk and I believe you should talk. I am not stitching your mouth. But I am asking you have you ever talked to your life? Have you ever said, "Hey, my life how are you? Welcome kid, you brought me in this earth, what for?"

You don't know why you came here. You do not know when you are going to go. You do not know this; you do not know that. I understand that. And the funniest thing with the Americans in twelve years I have learned is they all need powers. Powers come from God, but they don't want God, they trust God, they know there is a God, but they want to wear those pyramids, three pyramids...

(Students' laughter...)

I mean it's one of the most fascinating happened in my life. Some guy gave me, I saw and I said, "What is your hand?" And it was one silver, one copper and one gold pyramid. It was that wire thing, quite heavy. So he said, "It is for energy."

So what I did is, I put one, I put second, I put third over me and I let car travel for about two hours. Nothing happened. So he said, "Sir, if you like you can keep it."

I said, "I am not going to steal your pyramids, it is lot of gold."

It was about couple thousand-dollar worth of gold. That pyramid was pure gold, plus silver would have given something, plus copper was couple dollars. I gave him back. Pyramid in wires over your head is not going to straighten out your life. If you do not want to go to the world, the 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. , the wisdom of God, God is not going to come to you. That's the law. I don't care you are Christian, I don't care you are Jew, I don't care you are a Sikh, I don't care you are a Khalsa, and I don't care you are a bum. I have nothing to care. I am telling you a universal law and you do any hair makeup or you don't do anything. You put a lion skin around you or a sheepskin around you; purpose of life is only found when life is talked to, related to and befriended. That's called universal law. Now what you think about universal 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. ? You think I know all about the star. What they call it? Astronomy. You think astronomy and astrology is universal 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. . You are pretty bums. And you call UFO.

Somebody told me. Yeah, I went to desert, I went to Palm Springs I had such a bad time, thank God we had lot of dates, there is a shop in between going to Palm Springs and we bought lot of eatables there. You know. And I took upon myself to see we are covered and then we satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. in that desert for three days. Nights were very cold, days were very hot. Waited for the UFO's. Never showed up. And on the last day morning they said, "Sir, come on, I show you UFO."

I said, "Where?" I had twenty-twenty eyesight those days. I said, "Where?"

He said, "It came and went and it has created all this deep thing."

I said, "Don't be idiot. It is a whirlwind."

You know sometime in desert the wind takes... It is called outer circle. Outer circle happens and you can't even see with sight. It does create a dent on the earth and it takes away lot of land. I said, "That's all it is. There is no UFO."

And what is UFO? Unidentified object. Flying saucers. Now this is all because you are crazy... The flying saucers are flying all the time, what do you do? You are not flying. You are sitting in Los Angeles; think about here. But why we do that? Because we know there is a life in us. We know. Now this is very calculating thing, try to understand. We know there is a life in us and we know there is a life outside us, okay. Neither we identify with our life nor we identify with outer life. We are UFO's to ourselves; we are UFO's to outside.

We have not recognized our identity because we don't talk to ourselves. We talk to God, we talk to Christ, we talk to BuddhaBuddha An enlightened one; founder of the Buddhist faith. , we talk to Nanak, and we talk to everything. And Nanak said talk to yourself, BuddhaBuddha An enlightened one; founder of the Buddhist faith. said talk to yourself, Christ said talk to yourself, Jesus said talk to yourself, even the lawgiver, who was that? Moses. Aha, you remember him. He said talk to yourself. You say, "No, we will go to synagogue, we will do all weird rituals but we will not talk to ourselves." If we have to talk to ourselves, can you tell me anybody in this class; I mean you are all quite intelligent people. What is talking to oneself? Come on, anyone. Come on, house is open. Give me one answer. Yeah.

Student: (----).

YB: No darling, realizing what you are here for is talking to yourself. What it is? Can you tell me? Twelve years wasted.

Student: (----).

YB: Answering to your own question, what is that talking to yourself, what is the self, what is the talking, what is the method? I am, I am is a realization. Yeah, come on try, try, let us try.

Student: (----).

YB: MeditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. is to make yourself intuitive. Yeah.

Student: (----).

YB: Consciously conscious that we have to talk to ourselves. Agreed. Come on.

Student: Prayer.

YB: Prayer is to get power to be clean.

Student: (----).

YB: Loving yourself is loving a girl, and loving a boy. Loving is loving; loving is not talking to yourself.

Student: (----).

YB: Communication is what?

Student: (----).

YB: Self-dialogue is talking to yourself, and then people will think you are crazy.

(Students' laughter...)

Never do it.

Student: (----).

YB: Loud, loud what you said?

Student: (----).

YB: That capacity you have, you can't have to train, you have to only find it out. You. Total truth when you realize, then you are talking to yourself.

Student: (----).

YB: What is it?

Student: (----).

YB: Taking the stock is measuring the things, doesn't mean anything.

Student: (----).

YB: Yes sir, in finding the answer that doesn't mean that you are going to talk to yourself.

Talk to yourself is a phenomenon of reality when you can talk yourself into exchange of position of all communication. When you can replace yourself totally in communiqué with the other person's feeling, dealing, projection, objection, and personality. It's called inter-exchange of personality. I shall not do to myself; therefore I can't do to anyone. That is talking to yourself. Let the entire universe be in me and let me be in entire universe that is called infinite communication and exchange of position in absolutely sensitivity and that sensitive means you extend your sensitivity as there is any existence of God. You feel it; you know it and you are it.

Heshit!! You remember that word? We coined it one day. He, she and it. He, she and?

Students: It.

YB: That totality of everything if you take a piece of stone you should be in a position to talk to yourself. What is the first sentence when I keep a piece of stone over here, I'll talk to myself. Can anybody repeat it? When I take first piece of stone on my hand I look at it, I say, "Thank you stone, and thank you God, thank you myself. I pass through it." When I see any animal, I say, 'Thank you fish, thank you bird' when I see anything, anything, life or life giving, anything life, life giving, any existence and anything which can relate to existence, I'll say thank you. Why? Because I am the 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. bead. I have gone through one hundred and eight elements. And now I have come to the top of a position to have sensitivity. I may not be the sensitivity. I maybe the sensitivity. But I have the capacity to become a complete sensitivity and that is human.

Hue-light, Mann-mind, being-now. Now you are the mind of light. For the time being your mind is all light. It is not all light right away. It has the capacity. If somebody tells me something and if I can tell the same thing to myself, now remember this, if somebody tells me something okay, and I have the capacity to tell the same thing to myself, I have the right to hear, otherwise I have not right to hear, I have to discard it. What I can say to myself if I can say to you, I have the right to say it to you.

If I cannot say something to myself, I say to somebody else, I am a sinner in the eyes of my own Creator because whatever creation is, I differentiate it between the ego of existence and ego of the universal existence, universal existence is huge, I am just nothing, therefore I'll feel emptiness, misery and everything else. Why? If I cannot walk ten miles, I am not supposed to tell you to walk ten miles. If I cannot laundry my clothes I am not supposed to ask you laundry my clothes. Not at all.

Then what man did? Man said, "All right, I'll not say, you won't say." Communication broke. "I'll earn money, I'll buy your services, you don't have money, and you will sell your services." That is how the economics grew up. You are a pretty girl, you please my heart, and I pay you two hundred dollars. That's called prostitution. Excuse me for the word. Have you found any other word for it?

When you buy and sell meat or the 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. , or exploit something, which is real and regal, and then there is a very bad word for it. What we started doing? We started prostituting our mind, we started prostituting our bodies, and we are the greatest of all we prostituted ourselves. So badly we did it with it, we won't talk to it, "Hey, soul shut up!!" on every step. We don't dress what our soul tells us to dress, we don't eat what our soul tells me to eat, we don't wear, we don't eat, and we don't... We don't care what my soul tells me. All I care is this tiny voice shut up; let me see how my neighbors say to me. I sold myself in 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. , I sold myself in domain, I sold, 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. says, for the shells of the ocean you have totally wasted the diamonds. That's your bargain, that's your economics.

"Kaudi badley janam ko aaya. Ath bhagathi tho eh ratan paaya. Moorakh anna jaaney na. Sach, sada satSat Existence; what is; the subtle essence of Infinity itself. pichaney na."

Very simple things, simple lines that this foolish man has wasted life of diamond for shells which got through lot of worship. The only non-sensitivity is you even do not understand that you got this body with a lot of work. This body you didn't get because you said, "GiliGili come!" and you got it. You think that way. You didn't get long hair on the head because God in heavens had a lot of hair lying down, He said, "What to do with it?" He said, "All right, put it on the scalp of men and women." Have you ever understood? The Creator you trust, the God you trust, why He gave you the longest hair on the scalp of the human head? You don't know. You think God never knew that you could make a hat? You think God is that crazy? God knew it all. Question is do you believe in God or don't you? Do you accept the will of God? Good and bad. If God does something good, ahahaha! Great, if God does something bad, hey, nay, nay, nay... That's not accepting the will.

"Bhaley-boorey hum taarey prabhuji, bhaley-boorey hum taarey."

Bad, good we belong to thee oh lord. Essence of 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. , the essence of universal 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 when universally you can place yourself in every heart. Am I right? Is it difficult to do? It is easy to do but you forget it. When you talk to another individual then it comes have's and have not's.

"Nirgun ko adar koi nandey."

A poor man comes you shut the doors, if a rich man comes you go out and meet him. If president Reagan, that actor, you remember him? Ronnie Californian, you never even cared when he was a governor. I mean, don't forget you are all Californians, I know you. But now because he is a president, God! If he comes in here, what do you do? You walk on your hands to go and meet him, if he invites you; you show everybody that, ahaha! President (?) invited me.

In those days when I was doing those drug things there was a person, friend of mine; he was a great lobbyist and he is a great republican. He told me, he said, "Yogiji, to get you recognized here I want to do something for you."

I said, "What is it? First tell me don't do anything."

He said, "I want you to be invited in White House and have a cup of tea with the president and Mrs. President."

I said, "You mean that bum who is alcoholic? If you want me to help her and talk to her, fine."

He said, "No, no, no I understand, but you know it will be a great publicity."

You know I did a joke, I said, "You have a dollar?"

He said, "Yeah."

I said, "Give me one dollar."

He gave me one dollar. I said, "Owe, you one dollar, this is advance, go and take cup of tea yourself. I have not come here to take cup of teas with the presidents."

He said, "Why not?"

I said, "It doesn't solve the problem."

He said, "Flashy news."

I am not interested to do things which are little. Have you seen the floods which come just like wall of water? What do you call them?

Students: (-----)

YB: That is how you live, that's how your emotions are. How many of you have visited bathrooms? Come on.

(Students' laughter...)

Everybody? Why don't you communicate with me? I am talking to you; you don't want to talk to me, what is this shyness? Can we not talk? How many of you visit bathrooms? All of you. Have you seen the system there? What they call it?

Students: (-----)

YB: Flush system.

(Students' laughter...)

If you could flush your garbage, mental garbage through a... What is meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness.

It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness.

(Students' laughter...)

Of your mental self. The apparatus is higher 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. through which this peepillapoop is pushed out and the process is called meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. . I mean, you must be surprised to find it out. Do me a favor; be practical. When you go and sit on the seat and when you finish it, look in that seat and then go and look in the mirror and say what is in that seat is in the mind and look in the mirror and then go and flush the spring, it will be all gone. Then again look there, there will be clean water, then come at the mirror again and look at that. It will make you humble enough to kneel down on that spot and you will find it out that the mental garbage is not gone.

You are physically clean. You are mentally corrupt, unclean. And when mind is clean.... Because mind is the link between the man and God, is the carrier. Mind is the prayer, mind is the meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. , and mind is mind. One who is corrupt in mind is corrupt in God because link cannot take place. And the flush system of that mind is called meditationMeditation Dhyan. It is a process of deep concentration or merger into an object or a state of consciousness. Meditation releases reactions and unconscious habits and build the spontaneous and intuitive link to awareness itself. , which Americans hate these days. They say it is eastern. You Americans should not have even a sun because sun is eastern.

(Students' laughter...)

Don't have sun on United States and Canada and South America and Spain and Europe. London is best; there is never a sun anyway. It comes about one month or two, something like that.

Your ego is so great that anything, which you don't understand and you cannot follow, is called 'Eastern.'

(Students' laughter...)

You can heal a person with a touch. There are healers who can heal with touch. You can take a food and touch it with hand and eat it. Three billion people eat with their hands. That's one secret of health. And you eat with knives and what they call those things with... Forks. You are so ashamed or you are so ugly, either way. Either you are so dirty that you don't trust your hands and you can't touch the food. You can't feel the food before it goes to your mouth and then the tonsils, the first warning center of your body you all cut it out. Cutting the tonsil, Oh doctor is out. Good, you can do it. But the lungs of that person will never have the capacity without the tonsillitis. Because this was given the tonsillitis, the tonsils were given as a protection to lungs, to stomach to all that area in the ribcage. They were the lighthouses; they were the warning post. They tell you what is going on. That's the first thing which gets attacked. Nobody cares man.

I think if tomorrow everything is in your hand lymph glands will be second. You will take them all out. These days every doctor I have seen very funny. Take the spleen out; it is unnecessary. Gallbladder is not needed.

(Students' laughter...)

Far out, I mean I can't believe this. The only problem you come and you say liver, they say you know, you got to keep it somehow.

(Students' laughter...)

Lungs. I can't believe it.

I went to Acapulco and there were these people paying about eighty, ninety, hundred twenty dollars a day for that one room, enjoying their life and a beautiful landscape is there. It's a far out thing. I like that hotel in the sense so much wind comes from the ocean through those balconies, you almost sit there and enjoy your life. You don't need to do anything else. And I go there to see those people, once, twice, three times I had the chance to, they smoke. They smoke sitting on the beach and they drink sitting on the chair and they take iodine, I never knew how they black themselves... Unnecessary the black people are upset; they get this oil, coconut oil and iodine is mixed in it and they rub it on their body and they become tan. African people are tan, totally free. Americans spend so much money to get tan. Crazy guys and end up having skin cancer. It's funny world. Why we do all this? Because we have no relationship with us. We don't say hello to our life. We don't say hello because we are not conscious where life is. Where is life?

Life is working, life is being attorney, life is being an engineer, life is being a government officer, and life is being president of United States? That's not life. Life is rich or poor, is that life? Life is to know, to feel and be the life. To be the life. There maybe a man of a saintly nature, very poor, with rugs and rugged life you know and he can be sitting and you go and speak to him and he says, "Yes, God is virtuous, so you be." And it will give you a communication right at the heart center because when you communicate from heart center you reach somebody's heart center, when you communicate from sixth center you reach somebody's sixth center, when you communicate...

Side B

... From second center you communicate from second center. When you communicate from first center you communicate from first center.

Consciously where you are all that matters. Before you open your mouth just know where the life is. Where the 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. At what frequency... hey you guys, you are through radio business, right? FM, AM, FM, whatever that stuff is, and there is numbers, don't you check that? What's wrong with the centers of 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. ? Just check the needle of your life, check the needle of your life at what frequency it is, at what ChakraChakra , Chaakra The word connotes a wheel in action. It usually refers to the seven primary energy centers in the aura that align along the spine from its base to the top of the skull. Each chakra is a center of consciousness with a set of values, concerns, and powers of action associated with it. it is and how good tuned it is. What is the volume? Do the whole thing; you are a radio too. You are a radio of 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. . But you got to learn it, you got to feel it, you got to know it.

Is there anything less than a God or is there anything more than a God? Walk to the lotus feet of the 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. and learn it from the word of the 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. who communicated the God's kingdom and it's with you and God shall walk to you. You have to learn that, you have to be that if you want to be happy. But if you want to live the hotchpotch, adieus. The real grace, the genuine grace, the pure grace lies with those who lay themselves at the lotus feet of the 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. . Arey, graduate in spirituality. Be the master in spirituality, learn it, and go to somebody who can teach it. That's the purpose of life. That's the 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. . Everything else is to fulfill this task. I learned it, you learned it, and everybody else has to learn it. Because we follow the secret path, therefore we have not the obligation to find out whether this man is good or he is bad man because we have the word of the 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. right in Siri 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. GranthGranth Literally: knot: book. .

The privilege of that is we have not to deal with the ego of the man. You can talk those words with you and those words can talk you with you. There is no in between. And 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. speaks in a very simple word. And speaks to the mind, mind has to be not polluted. Because 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. says,

"Ay mana mayriaa, too sadaa raho har naalay."

"Oh my mind be with God all the time."

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. speaks. But mind, which mind? Polluted mind, sick mind, egomaniac mind, mind of a person who has lost touch with reality, mind of a person who doesn't know from where he has come, where he is going.

"Aaga apni mouth sey koyi bashar nai, samaan sou baras ka, pal ki khabar nahi."

'Nobody knows when one has to die, no human knows when he is to die, he takes care of his hundred years of equipment and provisions and everything and he doesn't know next minute whether he is going to breathe or not.'

Think about it. It has taken me ten years to talk to you and talk to you and talk you and finally some of you have started learning to listen. It's good to learn because once you learn you become learned. If you ever want to be learned or you want to be called learned you got to learn. Next week, right? Sing.

The class sings: 'May the long time sun shine upon you....'

YB: (Over song) Sing it right. It's a prayer to self. It is you in you.

May the word of the prayer, the guide may guide us, and guide maybe within us and guide may protect us and protectingly take us to our destiny. The destination is God, may come true. It may be a wishful thinking but we do wish. If wish has any meaning that's the wish that let us be with God once in experience, in self and in consciousnessConsciousness The nature of the self and being.

Being is expressed in consciousness through contrasts and sensations, in awareness through merger, clarity, and reality. .

Hey, there is a... What is this called fiesta? What this word is, read it. There is something after class tonight in honor of the birthday of Sarab Singh and Mani Singh Khalsa. What is that, Mani Singh?

Student: (----).

YB: Oh, it's a treat but it is written in English, looks like a language, which nobody can read. Then there is something also. It was my birthday yesterday and I do what?

Student: (----).

YB: And I bought a treat.

(Students' laughter...)

So there are going to be two treats. You understand?

(Students' laughter...)

There are going to be treats.

And by the way we have the privilege through the courtesy of the doctors and professionals to have another treat. We have a wonderful doctor from India, Dr. Triguna. He is an Ayurvedic doctor. The system is as old as five thousand years. The man is genuine, real, honest, and shy, he is not an American, sorry I couldn't produce him that way. His parents were born in India, his grandparents were born in India, only we can do our love and everything attracted him here and our doctors are his hosts and we have decided that those of you who want to just take care of the system because he is here for few days. He is fascinating the way he diagnoses; system is wonderful.

So if you have time you can call Mrs. Dr. Soram and fix up a time if you want to go. Then later on hang around the neck of Dr. Soram for other things. But it's a wonderful thing to at least know what is going on once a while. It's a rare opportunity, we don't get it everyday, it's a kind of a medical feast we call it.

Guy is innocently, genuinely gentle. He does not have any pushy nature. He is not going to go around and say, here I am, I can do this, and I can do that. And it's true Dr. Soram said, if I ask him how you do it? He is going to tell me that it is twenty years of experience. That's true; that is how they do. They serve at the lotus feet of the master. And fortunately his father is his master and I have met the great Vaidji, he is a fantastic man. Fantastic man.

There are pulses... You think there is one pulse, they say there are three here, three there, nine there, something like that. They have lot of account of it. And they check it out and they find what's going on with you. My idea is once you know what is going on with you, then there is something to go on and take care of it. That's what Soram and me agreed to, to begin with. Let us find that out. And no check up, no screening, no x-ray nothing. It's a very funny situation. The guy checks your pulse and there he speaks and writes down everything. It's better than astrology.

(Students' laughter...)

And tarot cards. I know some of you still believe in them. I used them for entertainment; you use them very seriously. I know you all.

Anyway, he is here for few days, he has already helped lot of people and taken care of lot of people and tonight we have a treat right somewhere and I'll be going. So the treat is we will meet Monday again and I'll be going to Tucson tomorrow and I am going to teach a Tantric course there and I need your prayers. Unfortunately the courses, the Tantric courses, which I am supposed to teach has come at that moment of my life, when health wise the body is not in tune. But I think the test is tune or not tuned, duty is duty and I am not going to breakdown on that. Fortunately I am an American naturalized citizen; thank God I am not born here. I do not know how to breakdown. And I am surprised that why can't you all learn that.

How many of you have seen that movie 'Continental divide?' It's a very beautiful movie about eagles and one girl and it has every love and whole thing. It has one X and lot of comedy and lot of jokes and one thing. But one thing when you ever go to see that movie, spend three dollars, there is no problem. You do it anyway. One thing I want you to learn about it. I'll definitely recommend you to go; see it. There is a way this guy does those dramas to draw attention. They are worthwhile learning, all the women should learn. It's a new rage these days. Life through traumas. And so movies sometime respond to it. But it's beautiful to see those parts of (?) which you cannot see otherwise. It costs thousands of dollars if you even hire a helicopter to go and see it. These guys just put it right before you in a silver plate. I am not doing commercial for it; don't misunderstand me. But sometime I feel very honored when in America we can see one picture, which can tell you the landscape of United States. Otherwise cinema houses are nothing but garbage. Waste of money, time, and the only beautiful thing in a cinema house is the popcorn.

(Students' laughter...)

So try to initiate yourself and if you get time to go and see this, it's beautiful. You will like to see flying eagles and their spread wings and their balanced life. You will like it.

And just see oh crazy Americans, the eagle which is the symbol of United States, it has a very rarely built cozy nest. You divorce each other, you do funny things, you cheat each other, and even the eagles don't cheat. Why can't you learn from them? They are very honorable birds. And they don't do makeup. And they are very real, very original, very lively and very balanced. That's why you call the eagle the king of the sky, king of the air. But anyway, I liked it and if you don't like it I am not going to refund your money. Yeah, some people only love horror movies, it's very funny. There is no horror in it, lot of charisma; it's pretty. And try to enjoy life as much as possible.

I heard Reagan's speech, Ronnie was good actor, it is the biggest act he is performing and he is supposed to do it for four years. He is on contract.

(Students' laughter...)

And he is saying he doesn't mean any harm but if it happens, it's the will of God. He is really enjoying; I can't believe it. I think from today onwards the congress should pass a bill, anybody who is not an actor less than years cannot be the president of United States.

(Students' laughter...)

He really enjoys the fun of us. But what he can do? He can't do anything, what is happening is actually that the democrats through all these years blew up and he is finding it out. And he is laying it all over folks, what he is saying to you, fellow Americans you are wonderfully bankrupt and I don't know what to do. I am trying to save you from going before the court of the God. You have exploited everything ruthlessly. And you are extremely selfish with Mother Nature. That's what he is saying. But I am trying to save the face somehow, don't worry, if it not gets saved just bless old Ronnie, that's what he is saying. His speech was fantastic, it was well prepared, words were very good, script was well done, God bless the one who wrote it, he didn't mean a word of it. But he spoke very well. So I hope everything is going to be all right according to him, but you are not going to exist.

(Students' laughter...)

I mean to say if I know economics little bit, I did the masters in it, I mean to say if the rate of interest continues to be twenty percent, it is nineteen and half now, prime rate in that range, I think lot of you will start wearing shirts without pockets. I am sure about it.

Thank God to 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. Guru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Gobind SinghGuru Gobind Singh Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. he gave us to wear a underwear and made it compulsory, I think that will become a national dress.

(Students' laughter...)

We will not be in a position to afford pants anymore. That's the way the economy is going. You do not understand how much you have been lied to. The inflation is almost eighteen percent when they were telling it was eight percent. And it is thirty one percent when they say it is thirteen percent. So they are very good servants of people, by the people, for the people, of the people, they tell us all truth, on simply they juggle the numericals.

I think all of you should be consciously cautious and only try to understand times are hard, eighties are very testful and just be graceful to go through everything in life, including your relationship, I mean, don't waste time in emotions, try to work hard, think right and relax and rejoice. Gracias.
