'He is very confused, purpose of life is not to be confused, purpose of life is not
to be, God is not confused, suppose God is confused it changes the routine of the rotation
of the earth, what will happen to all of you. Purpose of life is specifically, a great harmonious
commitment, that's the purpose of life. We are confused, our purpose to be confused
is, that we want to acquire things, we want to know, now, suppose a person, ah, it's very
funny, why you are all poor and you are poor even you are rich you are poor, your poverty
is very well known to me, and I know, why? You do not commit in your professional essence,
when I see somebody professional, professional person, when he figures it out, how he should
look, how he can convince a person, how he can talk a person, it look like me a prostitute
going on a sunset boulevard and hiring, standing there to be hired, whether she get a million
dollar for that night or ten dollars for a night, it's not commitment, it is not professionalism,
it is not honesty, it is not human. It is a animal who want to sell his meat, whether
he is PhD or he is MD or he is JD or he is 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.
or he is SwamiSwami
Master.
or he is beautiful actor
or actress, anything. I have seen in last sixteen years, people
unhappy and they shall continue to be unhappy, because they have profession, but they don't
have goodwill, they have profession, they don't have commitment, they have profession
they cannot create trust, they have profession they are not decent, they have profession
they are not sophisticated enough to be human. What the hell you people think, that other
person who is surviving morning till night with all his money, with all his ego and with
all his neurosis is that idiot, that he is going to give you something for nothing? If
you can't tell him, you are very sacred, who has taught you that, you must be a bundle
of junks, not just one junk and then you have got a religious opportunity that you look
religious and you look decent and you look, at one side person say well, either he is
a totally freak, which is his right, which he wants to know or he is totally special
and blessed is the opportunity when he says, you are totally freak, because he assesses
you at the lowest of the lowest and then when he find you are highest of the highest, you
have made the sale forever, that's called goodwill and less than that you are permanently
chronically an idiot. If I go to somebody to meet somebody, either
he feels that I am a junk of a human being and everybody has the right to feel I am a
junk, I am a weirdo, I am a neurotic, I am tip head, Q tip, U tip, whatever I am, because
I am not equal to that idiot at all, my first impression to meet a person is, I am not you,
then who am I? Two ways, either I am the most inferior, lowest of the low or I am highest
of the high, because every unique thing has no parallel character and this is a challenge and if you face challenge
and face with your commitment you excel and if you face this challenge and you are just
Yo-Yo, you are no good, it doesn't matter, who you are.
There should be no misunderstanding in the factor, why you are, what you are, you are
what you are, because there is a lot of leverage, lot of gap in your frequency of commitment,
it is in your sex life, it is in your domestic life, it is your life as parents is that,
there is a lot of leakage, you are a pressure cooker which cooks nothing make lot of noise
though, that's what your life is. I am not talking with you, when I came in United States,
all my bundling around me were these actor and actress, rich people, when I saw their
life, I said, 'I got to get out of it.' I tried my level best, I said, 'Space is
less,' I said, 'People cannot be accommodated, I cannot do.' They will come, these people
who make three million, two million dollars a picture, six million dollar a picture, they
will come, take the furniture, very politely out, if they ever break it, they will buy
it and they will make a yoga class space, then after yoga class, they will have volunteers
who will keep the furniture back, I mean, under those circumstances I have taught, but
then I told everybody to go on five garlic, fifteen garlic, those things a day and we
smell them out, because I knew these people who believe in scent and essence they cannot
stand garlic and we do breath of fireBreath of Fire
Also called agni praan. It is a rapid, rhythmical breath pattern, generated from the navel point and diaphragm with an equal inhale and exhale and usually done through the nose. It is both stimulating and relaxing. It heals, strengthens the nerves, and clears out old patterns and toxins.
with garlic you know, how many actors and actresses
you can expect in a class, because I knew I am just dealing with egos and if there is
any ego, this is only me, no ego has a place before me, who has a ego, somebody think he
is very rich, somebody say, he is politically very strong, somebody say, I am great student,
somebody, whatever you are, but as far as I am concerned you don't exist. There exists
nothing before a spiritual teacher, because spiritual teacher doesn't exist, you do not
understand the very cosmic law of a student and teacher relationship.
A spiritual teacher does not exist and before his eyes, before his 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
in delivering you, you are a bundle of lie, when you think, you exist or you think he
exist, there is no such relationship, there is no person to person to relationship, there
is no impersonal to impersonal relationship, there is no cosmic relationship, there is
no Divine relationship, there is no un-Divine relationship, there is no undivided relationship,
a spiritual teacher has to deliver his clientele, against or against the will of God or with
the blessings of God, do you understand the fight?
A student has a Divine right, is a bill of rights, that every soul will have a spiritual
teacher once in life, they must meet their teacher, may be on the road corner, may be
buying peanuts, once I had a experience in my life, when somebody brought me a person
and she said, 'Sir, I want him to be your student.'
I said, 'First of all, I told you, you can never be my student, but anyway you painted

for me, so I am grateful, I owe you one, okay, it's one to one basis, it's
not a student and teacher relationship and now have brought this guy.'
'No, he needs a teacher.' I said, 'He needs a teacher but it is not
written, he didn't earn in his previous life to have a spiritual teacher and he shall never
have a spiritual teacher.' She said, 'Why not?'
I said, 'Spiritual teacher is granted to only those whom God personally has been in
love and God owes one favor and this gentleman doesn't have that favor.' So please,
She said, 'Be his spiritual teacher.' I said, 'Okay boy, go to the class and I'll
teach there and I am just your spiritual teacher, you are my spiritual student, but there is
no relationship, understand, I owe you nothing, you owe me nothing.'
He said, 'Sir, give me a chance I get always what I want.'
I said, 'Fine, that's the best, you can even get God, but I tell you, there is written
that you can get God, it is written with everybody they can get God, but it is written with very
few that they have a spiritual teacher, remember this, I am just telling you.'
It is very conveniently easy to serve a God, All Mighty God and a angel and a deity, but
it is not easy at all to serve a spiritual teacher. After couple years, the guy left,
he wrote me a very long letter, it is in record, he asked me to give a interview, I said, 'You
were never my student, you were never my loved', no interview.
'What for?' 'You were just a junk of the freeway, you
stuck with may car, you got dropped, thank you for the off load, I owe you nothing and
I will never see you, because I don't want to interfere with scheme of Almighty God,
I told you to begin with, you don't have spiritual teacher, I told you very clearly and also
there is a man living you can also assess him, he is not my student anymore,' I saw
him in the door way, I said, 'Hey get up, who you want to see?'
He said, 'Christ.' I said, 'Here I am standing on you, get
up with me, follow.' He got up and started following.
I said, 'Son, sometime Christ was denied thrice, you will drive me forever for nothing,
be careful.' When 1985 came I told him, warned him, in 1984, I said, 'Look, 1985
is a time of doubt and commitment, be careful, your values are going to be tested,' and
one day evening I called him on the phone, I said, 'Good bye.'
He said, 'I am not going anywhere.' I said, 'You are not staying anywhere, your
soul has been sold.' 'What should I do?'
I said, 'Follow your wife, don't try to see me ever, you are gone.'
'How it is possible?' I said, 'Good bye, that's how it is.'
'Sir, I can't leave you.' I said, 'I am leaving you, I love you, I
always will pray for you, I will never be your spiritual teacher from today onwards.'
'Reason?' I said, 'No, reason.'
'I wanted to know once if you can tell me, please, my last request.'
I said, 'You abused the GuruGuru

yesterday in conversation.'
'How you know?' I said, 'I don't have to know, I am just
telling you.' Spiritual world is a very sophisticated world,
you must understand, a spiritual person like star shines on these heavens and around him
the entire universe surrounds. Don't look at them be going on the cross or sitting on
a hotplate or being slandered and being butchered and being killed, tell me in the history of
the man, ever, ever, there is a day, when a real master has not been crucified and how
can anybody's history be different. Unfortunately in United States of America,
your qualification of a spiritual teacher is just a ego sale, it's like a tuckshop,
you know, you go somewhere, what they call? Quick food, fast food thing, you go there,
you pay five dollars or twenty dollars or hundred thousand dollars, doesn't matter what
and you think you got something, you can't buy favors of the heavens with earth, you
can always buy favors of the heavens with heavens, it is called matching funds, you
understand the economics? Matching funds.

is hey, how, how is this, I don't know, what a gross, where is
the subtlety of it? There is no subtlety at all, one day I told somebody, I said, 'Your
turban is not good.' He said, 'How come?'
I said, 'Did you look in the mirror?' He said, 'Yes.'
I said, 'No good, it doesn't fit in with you.'
'Sir, I don't understand.' I said, 'If your own crown doesn't sit decorate
your head, fool, who is going to bow to you, you will look like a funky clown, you know,
clown.' 'What should I do?'
I said, 'Go, retie the turban, spend some time.' Tying turban is nothing, it's a seven,
five, six yards of cloth but tying turban is crowning yourself being the spiritual being
and that day, victory shall be yours, tying a funky turban means losing the day, it's
very important. If you can cover your head, you can open your
heart, go, study twenty two religions, eight major religions, never a person showed his
hair in the sun to another human being, except he was a slave, it was only for a slave, that
he couldn't cover his hair and he couldn't have his hair, his hair was cut on every full
moon
and now all of us have become slaves, so much so, people who are in the enemy camp of the
king who was trying to kill Lord Krishna, okay, you understand? Kans, Kans was the king
and he wanted to capture his sister, put in a jail, because he was told, that anybody
who is born out of his sister, is going to be his killer and a victor and he is going
to be Divine, so he put his sister in jail, so Lord Krishna born in a jail, somehow his
father escaped it and everything was fine, but when Kans knew about it and all those
people who follow Krishna, they caught him, caught them and bring them as a prisoner,
there were two conditions, either get your hair cut or get your neck, which one you want?
Majority preferred neck and those who didn't prefer neck, they get their hair cut but Kansa
did not dare to cut their hairs from the crown center, that's why, today all Harey Krishna
people have some small hair, they give a knot to it.
Because he was acknowledged person, he knew he cannot do that, because removing the hair
from the crown center is taking away from a person the possibility of his Divine expansion
and unisonness of God in human experience, God is not a gross dealer and He is a hair
dealer, somewhere He has a maximum protein sitting there, He wanted to get rid of it,
He found men and started planting at their face and their head. You are the only living
human being among the beast and the animals, the birds and everything, who have the longest
hair on your head, there is a purpose for it, there is a detail about it. If you believe
that you have been born in the image of God, then God knew what He is doing, but creative

Yesterday I was talking to somebody and he said, 'No money, no success, no progress,
I feel like I am going to die.' I said, 'Congratulations, you be dead, I
will be very happy if you die, I say it is a very rear death, dying for spirituality,
dying for a mission, it's not to reason why, but to do and die, rode the six hundred into
the valley of death.' They knew the orders are wrong, they knew
on the both sides of the valley, cannons are, they knew, somebody wanted to get rid of them,
they knew everything, but when the command said, attack, all six hundred on their horses
ran, few came back, shattered and clouded with gun powder, but they were victorious,
light brigade has won the biggest day in the field. Death only means to those, who have
nothing to do with God, death is a permit to meet their Lord God, those who have loved
God. How much you hate God, that much you love to live on earth, how much you love God,
you are always ready to go. Death is the fear and you only fear from something which you
do not know how to deal with, you don't live light, you have lot of complications around
you and most of the energy, which God gave you, you wasted in these complications, telling
A something different, doing B different, C different, making somebody your spiritual
teacher, then denying him, then slandering him, then loving him and one day you do the
Chowri on him, third you chop off his legs, wow, great.
Purpose of life is to get rid of 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.

Those who have found man of God, they are far in between and rear on this earth. Arey,
we cannot recognize a hundred dollar bill, whether this bill is counterfeit or it's fair,
how can we understand? I asked once somebody that day, I said, 'Why
you think I am your spiritual teacher?' He said, 'I have got three things to tell
you, if you ask me, permit me.' I said, 'I want to investigate myself, I
want to know. You never shake, I have tried to do my best, therefore I am asking, what
is keeping you going on?' He said, 'Sir, first of all, when you sit
in class, I don't think anybody can talk like you.'
I said, 'What do I talk?' He said, 'Well, I can't tell you. It's real.'
I said, 'Okay, what's the second thing?' He said, 'What people do to you, you never
react?' It's real too, third. I said, 'What is third?'
He said, 'You don't remember sir, four years I have done my best to slander you, left and
right and you never reacted.' I said, 'I do remember and that slander
was far the real.' He said, 'May I ask you one question, why
didn't you react?' I said, 'My son it's a very simple situation,
when somebody reacts negatively to me, I just understand at that time how weak I am and
how powerful I should be and how better I can serve that person, that's all.' In that
game some people get lost, some survive much better, that's the process of rebirth it's
not my process. A person who will not doubt, will not find unisonness, person who will
not hate, will not find love, there are two sides of the coin, one has to go through,
we always say, Sarampadh, Karampadh, Shaktipadh, Sehajpadh, Satpadh, these are the stages.
First you come, second you acquire yourself, yourself knowledge, third is you get into
the state of doubt, fourth is you pull yourself out of the doubt and after that, you become
Divine, then there is no limit, no territory, you are all God.
He said, 'How it is natural?' I said, 'Look at the tree, lot of fruits,
do not ripe, lot of fall down there and rot, lot have ripened, some goes to the factory,

he drinks it, there are very few who reach the Lord.' There are millions of flowers,
only few can find an altar, there are lot of flowers, how many are presented as a token
of love? He said, 'What is the solution?'
I said, 'Solution is when you make, give a word, die for it.' Don't look back.
'Sir, how you did it?' I said, 'I do know, how I did it, all I
knew is, when I told my teacher I am yours, I never retract back.'
'Why?' I said, 'That's what GuruGuru

You know that day somebody was driving me, he said, 'Sir, it is fun to drive you.'
I said, 'What is fun drive me.' He said, 'Sir, I want to drive you all that
time.' I said, 'No, no, you can't drive me, you
have got lot of other things to do.' He said, 'Can I, just drive you, whenever
you want somebody to drive you?' I said, 'Well, there are lot of people to
drive me, what is this special thing, you want me to drive you?'
He said, 'You know, I have driven you today, I do not know what a good luck was, the way
you have talked, what I have learned is much more, it was like thirty classes in a hour.'
I said, 'Well, you were lucky today, nobody came in, but tomorrow there will be somebody
who is supposed to drive me, who freaked out today.' It's very funny, when some people
thank me, sometime they forget who is me and I qualify myself with all this, it's very
virtuous world. You know I want to share with you one thing,
I think the happiest moment of my life today I can look back is, there are many happiest
moments, but they don't mean anything, but the happiest moment is my life is, when I
thought I had a teacher and the greatest happiest moment was, when I was challenged that I have
a teacher and I can't be with him or serve him. Don't misunderstand, you have nothing,
I was the Prince of Wales of my state, there was much more responsibility and much more
power, much more power than you think. These little people, there is a bag full of them.

(Students laughing) Well, I like to put them in bag again, like
a Santa Claus I will throw them into Divine chimney, they are difficult to go back, they
were very easy to come in, look at this, they came in, what a present, ah, here you go,
see. (Students laughing)
Here they are, with a Divine Clause, you know when you write an article or a law, there
are clauses and saintly clause, that is Santa Claus word came from. Every gift, no, no,
don't misunderstand, whenever I tell you something you don't know, the word Santa Claus was manufactured
in New York, it doesn't belong to anywhere else, it's a fake Santa, absolutely, imagination
to do the sale promotion, you know, there are sales always, after the weekend, before
the weekend, my mother got sick, that total sale, less sale, yes sale, plus sale, you
know all the sales, actually all prizes are four times and they don't sell well, there
are not lot of idiots Americans, so somewhere sales means half, I mean they rip you up anyway,
but only left side of you, not the right side, so that's sale. Whole sale means, you have
no chance, you have to buy, you have to buy, factory prices, put the blinder on your eyes
and go straight and say yes, these are all terms and this Santa means saint, Claus means,
this is the Clause of that law, Clause three you shall provide me, Clause four you shall
obey this, even you rent a house, there are lot of clauses you know, agreement clauses,
this was a Santa Claus, if you will be good boy, he will throw things through your chimney,
because you don't allow good things to come through your gate, don't you understand, how
egomaniac you are and Santa cannot buy a Gasoline car, so he has to run on a old reindeers and
walk in, it is somebody's real imagination, but it works, it is the only saint which is
worshipped in the name of Christ, people forget about Jesus Christ, most of the time, they
don't remember him, but you know from last, this Thanksgiving Santa Claus is on and after
January, when checks start bouncing, then it's something else, so, one clause about
Santa Claus is be a saint and that's one clause and what is the saint? Sometime, somebody
ask me today question, what is a saint? Saint is, who is good, good to all, good to start,
good to be and good in the end, that is a Santa good, thank you very much, hey there
is some written letter with it too, what is this?

dolls, remove one doll from the box for each problem, before you go to sleep, tell the
doll your trouble, while you are sleeping, the dolls will try to solve your troubles,

Student: (----) YB: I don't take 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.
of anybody, messenger
is a messenger, all he has to do is deliver the letter, he is not interested, who wrote
you the letter and what is written in it? You are fools, you don't understand, I am
not your servant, I serve a very regular cosmic department, you know what I mean? All I am
supposed to is take the letter, deliver it to you, I don't care you read it, I don't
take care whether you put in the fire place and burn it, I don't care one letter comes
to you to wipe you out, I don't care. The letter comes you to make the king of the universe,
my job is to tell you, what that letter is, but I am a department, that is called Divine,
so, I send you the letters or bring you the news of Divinity, Cosmic Divinity, that is
what your destiny is, I have absolutely no relationship with your fate, you deal with
your fate, I can't deal with your destiny, very well, if you wanted to be or my Lord
wants me to be with you, that's how it is, that's how was, that's how it is, that's how
shall be. These clothes I wear, I wear for the service
of the God, these robes of honor is for the service of the Lord, not for you, nothing
to do with you. Those who love me, God is bound to pay them through his Divine honor,
those who hate me, God shall bless them through incarnation to purify them, it works both
ways, it was, it is and it shall be. We will continue this subject, courage means, you
are clear on your commitment, tomorrow we have to do something, what we have to do?
I don't know, whether ShaktiShakti

gets my message or not, I am very surprised, lot of subject
which I have taught are not being printed in to the book, Ram Das Kaur and this is somebody's
birth right to sabotage even the knowledge which has been assigned to and as a secretary
of the religion, you are very, very reluctant about certain aspect of the job which you
are supposed to do, so could please become more active and see nothing is wasted and
if somebody cannot print a book and doesn't want to print a book, we can hire somebody
else to do it, but the Sangat cannot be deprived of things, which somebody's ego is going to
deprive, period. I like to give this instruction to you today and I want the answer tomorrow
by mid-day, may the long time sunshine. (Students singing: May the long time sunshine
upon you') (Singing stops)
YB: Blessed are those who has found the love of a human and blessed are those who are trying to find love beyond
their own hatred. In these three blessing, those who have found the truth in their heart,
feel blessed in the name of God and serve all in the name of Divinity, over and above
their personal self are the sacred people and they are the angels of God in human body,
may they ever be blessed to virtually spread their virtues forever, SatSat

...He is very confused, purpose of life is not to be confused, purpose of life is not to be, God is not confused, suppose God is confused it changes the routine of the rotation of the earth, what will happen to all of you. Purpose of life is specifically, a great harmonious commitment, that's the purpose of life.
We are confused, our purpose to be confused is, that we want to acquire things, we want to know, now, suppose a person, ah, it's very funny, why you are all poor and you are poor even you are rich you are poor, your poverty is very well known to me, and I know, why? You do not commit in your professional essence, when I see somebody professional, professional person, when he figures it out, how he should look, how he can convince a person, how he can talk a person, it look like me a prostitute going on a sunset boulevard and hiring, standing there to be hired, whether she get a million dollar for that night or ten dollars for a night, it's not commitment, it is not professionalism, it is not honesty, it is not human. It is a animal who want to sell his meat, whether he is PhD or he is MD or he is JD or he is 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.
or he is SwamiSwami
Master.
or he is beautiful actor or actress, anything.
I have seen in last sixteen years, people unhappy and they shall continue to be unhappy, because they have profession, but they don't have goodwill, they have profession, they don't have commitment, they have profession they cannot create trust, they have profession they are not decent, they have profession they are not sophisticated enough to be human. What the hell you people think, that other person who is surviving morning till night with all his money, with all his ego and with all his neurosis is that idiot, that he is going to give you something for nothing? If you can't tell him, you are very sacred, who has taught you that, you must be a bundle of junks, not just one junk and then you have got a religious opportunity that you look religious and you look decent and you look, at one side person say well, either he is a totally freak, which is his right, which he wants to know or he is totally special and blessed is the opportunity when he says, you are totally freak, because he assesses you at the lowest of the lowest and then when he find you are highest of the highest, you have made the sale forever, that's called goodwill and less than that you are permanently chronically an idiot.
If I go to somebody to meet somebody, either he feels that I am a junk of a human being and everybody has the right to feel I am a junk, I am a weirdo, I am a neurotic, I am tip head, Q tip, U tip, whatever I am, because I am not equal to that idiot at all, my first impression to meet a person is, I am not you, then who am I? Two ways, either I am the most inferior, lowest of the low or I am highest of the high, because every unique thing has no parallel character and this is a challenge and if you face challenge and face with your commitment you excel and if you face this challenge and you are just Yo-Yo, you are no good, it doesn't matter, who you are.
There should be no misunderstanding in the factor, why you are, what you are, you are what you are, because there is a lot of leverage, lot of gap in your frequency of commitment, it is in your sex life, it is in your domestic life, it is your life as parents is that, there is a lot of leakage, you are a pressure cooker which cooks nothing make lot of noise though, that's what your life is. I am not talking with you, when I came in United States, all my bundling around me were these actor and actress, rich people, when I saw their life, I said, "I got to get out of it." I tried my level best, I said, "Space is less," I said, "People cannot be accommodated, I cannot do." They will come, these people who make three million, two million dollars a picture, six million dollar a picture, they will come, take the furniture, very politely out, if they ever break it, they will buy it and they will make a yoga class space, then after yoga class, they will have volunteers who will keep the furniture back, I mean, under those circumstances I have taught, but then I told everybody to go on five garlic, fifteen garlic, those things a day and we smell them out, because I knew these people who believe in scent and essence they cannot stand garlic and we do breath of fireBreath of Fire
Also called agni praan. It is a rapid, rhythmical breath pattern, generated from the navel point and diaphragm with an equal inhale and exhale and usually done through the nose. It is both stimulating and relaxing. It heals, strengthens the nerves, and clears out old patterns and toxins.
with garlic you know, how many actors and actresses you can expect in a class, because I knew I am just dealing with egos and if there is any ego, this is only me, no ego has a place before me, who has a ego, somebody think he is very rich, somebody say, he is politically very strong, somebody say, I am great student, somebody, whatever you are, but as far as I am concerned you don't exist. There exists nothing before a spiritual teacher, because spiritual teacher doesn't exist, you do not understand the very cosmic law of a student and teacher relationship.
A spiritual teacher does not exist and before his eyes, before his 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 don't exist at all, you only start existing when he delivers you, rest his 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 in delivering you, you are a bundle of lie, when you think, you exist or you think he exist, there is no such relationship, there is no person to person to relationship, there is no impersonal to impersonal relationship, there is no cosmic relationship, there is no Divine relationship, there is no un-Divine relationship, there is no undivided relationship, a spiritual teacher has to deliver his clientele, against or against the will of God or with the blessings of God, do you understand the fight?
A student has a Divine right, is a bill of rights, that every soul will have a spiritual teacher once in life, they must meet their teacher, may be on the road corner, may be buying peanuts, once I had a experience in my life, when somebody brought me a person and she said, "Sir, I want him to be your student."
I said, "First of all, I told you, you can never be my student, but anyway you painted 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.

for me, so I am grateful, I owe you one, okay, it's one to one basis, it's not a student and teacher relationship and now have brought this guy."
"No, he needs a teacher."
I said, "He needs a teacher but it is not written, he didn't earn in his previous life to have a spiritual teacher and he shall never have a spiritual teacher."
She said, "Why not?"
I said, "Spiritual teacher is granted to only those whom God personally has been in love and God owes one favor and this gentleman doesn't have that favor." So please,
She said, "Be his spiritual teacher."
I said, "Okay boy, go to the class and I'll teach there and I am just your spiritual teacher, you are my spiritual student, but there is no relationship, understand, I owe you nothing, you owe me nothing."
He said, "Sir, give me a chance I get always what I want."
I said, "Fine, that's the best, you can even get God, but I tell you, there is written that you can get God, it is written with everybody they can get God, but it is written with very few that they have a spiritual teacher, remember this, I am just telling you."
It is very conveniently easy to serve a God, All Mighty God and a angel and a deity, but it is not easy at all to serve a spiritual teacher. After couple years, the guy left, he wrote me a very long letter, it is in record, he asked me to give a interview, I said, "You were never my student, you were never my loved..., no interview.
"What for?"
"You were just a junk of the freeway, you stuck with may car, you got dropped, thank you for the off load, I owe you nothing and I will never see you, because I don't want to interfere with scheme of Almighty God, I told you to begin with, you don't have spiritual teacher, I told you very clearly and also there is a man living you can also assess him, he is not my student anymore," I saw him in the door way, I said, "Hey get up, who you want to see?"
He said, "Christ."
I said, "Here I am standing on you, get up with me, follow." He got up and started following.
I said, "Son, sometime Christ was denied thrice, you will drive me forever for nothing, be careful." When 1985 came I told him, warned him, in 1984, I said, "Look, 1985 is a time of doubt and commitment, be careful, your values are going to be tested," and one day evening I called him on the phone, I said, "Good bye."
He said, "I am not going anywhere."
I said, "You are not staying anywhere, your soul has been sold."
"What should I do?"
I said, "Follow your wife, don't try to see me ever, you are gone."
"How it is possible?"
I said, "Good bye, that's how it is."
"Sir, I can't leave you."
I said, "I am leaving you, I love you, I always will pray for you, I will never be your spiritual teacher from today onwards."
"Reason?"
I said, "No, reason."
"I wanted to know once if you can tell me, please, my last request."
I said, "You abused 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.
yesterday in conversation."
"How you know?"
I said, "I don't have to know, I am just telling you."
Spiritual world is a very sophisticated world, you must understand, a spiritual person like star shines on these heavens and around him the entire universe surrounds. Don't look at them be going on the cross or sitting on a hotplate or being slandered and being butchered and being killed, tell me in the history of the man, ever, ever, there is a day, when a real master has not been crucified and how can anybody's history be different.
Unfortunately in United States of America, your qualification of a spiritual teacher is just a ego sale, it's like a tuckshop, you know, you go somewhere, what they call? Quick food, fast food thing, you go there, you pay five dollars or twenty dollars or hundred thousand dollars, doesn't matter what and you think you got something, you can't buy favors of the heavens with earth, you can always buy favors of the heavens with heavens, it is called matching funds, you understand the economics? Matching funds.
"Pehla marna kabool kar, jeevan kee chadaas, sagal ke hoye ren ka phir aao hamarey paas"
First accept death, "Pehla Marna Kabool Kar," first accept the death, "Phir aao hamarey paas," then come to me, "Sagal Ke hoye ren ka," become a participant of the entire universe, then come, "Pehla Marna Kabool Kar, Jeevan Ke Chadaas," leave any hope of life, life is for earth, life is not for heavens, you want to live in heavens forever, you want to shine, you want to be a part, a decoration of Divine Cosmos. You are telling somebody, take a acre of land, take this diamond, take this, take this, ah, you are a kid, you can be forgiven for that, I am your student, I am your not.

Emotions and commotions are bathroom properties, we are talking of the living room, tell me how many living room in the center have a bathroom seat and it's called master seat, master chair, is there any construction you have seen like that, but how can you do that? In every living room of you is the fourth center there is a commode, unclean and stinking and you want every guest to come in and sit in there and you call yourself a human, think about it. Then fifth center is, fifth story, is the art of communication, it is something which is forever, because this creates word.

is hey, how, how is this, I don't know, what a gross, where is the subtlety of it? There is no subtlety at all, one day I told somebody, I said, "Your turban is not good."
He said, "How come?"
I said, "Did you look in the mirror?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "No good, it doesn't fit in with you."
"Sir, I don't understand."
I said, "If your own crown doesn't sit decorate your head, fool, who is going to bow to you, you will look like a funky clown, you know, clown."
"What should I do?"
I said, "Go, retie the turban, spend some time." Tying turban is nothing, it's a seven, five, six yards of cloth but tying turban is crowning yourself being the spiritual being and that day, victory shall be yours, tying a funky turban means losing the day, it's very important.
If you can cover your head, you can open your heart, go, study twenty two religions, eight major religions, never a person showed his hair in the sun to another human being, except he was a slave, it was only for a slave, that he couldn't cover his hair and he couldn't have his hair, his hair was cut on every full moon and now all of us have become slaves, so much so, people who are in the enemy camp of the king who was trying to kill Lord Krishna, okay, you understand? Kamsa, Kamsa was the king and he wanted to capture his sister, put in a jail, because he was told, that anybody who is born out of his sister, is going to be his killer and a victor and he is going to be Divine, so he put his sister in jail, so Lord Krishna born in a jail, somehow his father escaped it and everything was fine, but when Kamsa knew about it and all those people who follow Krishna, they caught him, caught them and bring them as a prisoner, there were two conditions, either get your hair cut or get your neck, which one you want? Majority preferred neck and those who didn't prefer neck, they get their hair cut but Kamsa did not dare to cut their hairs from the crown center, that's why, today all Harey Krishna people have some small hair, they give a knot to it.
SIDE B
Because he was acknowledged person, he knew he cannot do that, because removing the hair from the crown center is taking away from a person the possibility of his Divine expansion and unisonness of God in human experience, God is not a gross dealer and He is a hair dealer, somewhere He has a maximum protein sitting there, He wanted to get rid of it, He found men and started planting at their face and their head. You are the only living human being among the beast and the animals, the birds and everything, who have the longest hair on your head, there is a purpose for it, there is a detail about it.

Yesterday I was talking to somebody and he said, "No money, no success, no progress, I feel like I am going to die."
I said, "Congratulations, you be dead, I will be very happy if you die, I say it is a very rear death, dying for spirituality, dying for a mission, it's not to reason why, but to do and die, rode the six hundred into the valley of death."
They knew the orders are wrong, they knew on the both sides of the valley, cannons are, they knew, somebody wanted to get rid of them, they knew everything, but when the command said, attack, all six hundred on their horses ran, few came back, shattered and clouded with gun powder, but they were victorious, light brigade has won the biggest day in the field. Death only means to those, who have nothing to do with God, death is a permit to meet their Lord God, those who have loved God. How much you hate God, that much you love to live on earth, how much you love God, you are always ready to go. Death is the fear and you only fear from something which you do not know how to deal with, you don't live light, you have lot of complications around you and most of the energy, which God gave you, you wasted in these complications, telling A something different, doing B different, C different, making somebody your spiritual teacher, then denying him, then slandering him, then loving him and one day you do the Chowri on him, third you chop off his legs, wow, great.
Purpose of life is to get rid of 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.

A path of righteous living. It is both an ideal of virtue and a path of action that is infused with clear awareness and comprised of actions that are the soul in total synchrony with the universe. It is action without reaction or karma.
yourself, a human being is a human being, but a sacred human being is God, you can politely think, messenger of God, you can say anything, but fact is what fact is? It's privilege now and forever.
Those who have found man of God, they are far in between and rear on this earth. Arey, we cannot recognize a hundred dollar bill, whether this bill is counterfeit or it's fair, how can we understand?
I asked once somebody that day, I said, "Why you think I am your spiritual teacher?"
He said, "I have got three things to tell you, if you ask me, permit me."
I said, "I want to investigate myself, I want to know. You never shake, I have tried to do my best, therefore I am asking, what is keeping you going on?"
He said, "Sir, first of all, when you sit in class, I don't think anybody can talk like you."
I said, "What do I talk?"
He said, "Well, I can't tell you. It's real."
I said, "Okay, what's the second thing?"
He said, "What people do to you, you never react?" It's real too, third.
I said, "What is third?"
He said, "You don't remember sir, four years I have done my best to slander you, left and right and you never reacted."
I said, "I do remember and that slander was far the real."
He said, "May I ask you one question, why didn't you react?"
I said, "My son it's a very simple situation, when somebody reacts negatively to me, I just understand at that time how weak I am and how powerful I should be and how better I can serve that person, that's all." In that game some people get lost, some survive much better, that's the process of rebirth it's not my process. A person who will not doubt, will not find unisonness, person who will not hate, will not find love, there are two sides of the coin, one has to go through, we always say, Sarampadh, Karampadh, Shaktipadh, Sehajpadh, Satpadh, these are the stages. First you come, second you acquire yourself, yourself knowledge, third is you get into the state of doubt, fourth is you pull yourself out of the doubt and after that, you become Divine, then there is no limit, no territory, you are all God.
He said, "How it is natural?"
I said, "Look at the tree, lot of fruits, do not ripe, lot of fall down there and rot, lot have ripened, some goes to the factory, juiced out, poor thing, some goes to the President of United States, glass in the morning and he drinks it, there are very few who reach the Lord." There are millions of flowers, only few can find an altar, there are lot of flowers, how many are presented as a token of love?
He said, "What is the solution?"
I said, "Solution is when you make, give a word, die for it." Don't look back.
"Sir, how you did it?"
I said, "I do know, how I did it, all I knew is, when I told my teacher I am yours, I never retract back."
"Why?"
I said, "That's what GuruGuru

You know that day somebody was driving me, he said, "Sir, it is fun to drive you."
I said, "What is fun drive me."
He said, "Sir, I want to drive you all that time."
I said, "No, no, you can't drive me, you have got lot of other things to do."
He said, "Can I, just drive you, whenever you want somebody to drive you?"
I said, "Well, there are lot of people to drive me, what is this special thing, you want me to drive you?"
He said, "You know, I have driven you today, I do not know what a good luck was, the way you have talked, what I have learned is much more, it was like thirty classes in a hour."
I said, "Well, you were lucky today, nobody came in, but tomorrow there will be somebody who is supposed to drive me, who freaked out today." It's very funny, when some people thank me, sometime they forget who is me and I qualify myself with all this, it's very virtuous world.
You know I want to share with you one thing, I think the happiest moment of my life today I can look back is, there are many happiest moments, but they don't mean anything, but the happiest moment is my life is, when I thought I had a teacher and the greatest happiest moment was, when I was challenged that I have a teacher and I can't be with him or serve him. Don't misunderstand, you have nothing, I was the Prince of Wales of my state, there was much more responsibility and much more power, much more power than you think.

Here they are, with a Divine Clause, you know when you write an article or a law, there are clauses and saintly clause, that is Santa Claus word came from. Every gift, no, no, don't misunderstand, whenever I tell you something you don't know, the word Santa Claus was manufactured in New York, it doesn't belong to anywhere else, it's a fake Santa, absolutely, imagination to do the sale promotion, you know, there are sales always, after the weekend, before the weekend, my mother got sick, that total sale, less sale, yes sale, plus sale, you know all the sales, actually all prizes are four times and they don't sell well, there are not lot of idiots Americans, so somewhere sales means half, I mean they rip you up anyway, but only left side of you, not the right side, so that's sale. Whole sale means, you have no chance, you have to buy, you have to buy, factory prices, put the blinder on your eyes and go straight and say yes, these are all terms and this Santa means saint, Claus means, this is the Clause of that law, Clause three you shall provide me, Clause four you shall obey this, even you rent a house, there are lot of clauses you know, agreement clauses, this was a Santa Claus, if you will be good boy, he will throw things through your chimney, because you don't allow good things to come through your gate, don't you understand, how egomaniac you are and Santa cannot buy a Gasoline car, so he has to run on a old reindeers and walk in, it is somebody's real imagination, but it works, it is the only saint which is worshipped in the name of Christ, people forget about Jesus Christ, most of the time, they don't remember him, but you know from last, this Thanksgiving Santa Claus is on and after January, when checks start bouncing, then it's something else, so, one clause about Santa Claus is be a saint and that's one clause and what is the saint? Sometime, somebody ask me today question, what is a saint? Saint is, who is good, good to all, good to start, good to be and good in the end, that is a Santa good, thank you very much, hey there is some written letter with it too, what is this?
