Sat Nam. Yogi
Bhajan (Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji)
is a Kundalini Yoga master, a
spiritual teacher, and the chief religious and administrative authority
for the Ministry of Sikh Dharma in the
Western Hemisphere. Yogi Bhajan was given the Ministerial title of
"Siri Singh Sahib" by the
central governing body of the Sikh religion,
the Akal Takhat, in recognition of his work
in the Western world. He is an individual of remarkable insight, powerful
energy and an unwavering commitment to global healing, peace, and
spiritual awareness.
Yogi Bhajan is a Master of Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga
of Awareness, and a dedicated and inspired teacher. Since arriving
in the United States in 1969, he has dedicated himself to bringing
meaning, dignity and a reconnection of Spirit into the lives of people
everywhere, especially those people who have become lost and confused
through the use of drugs.
"The purpose of life is to watch and experience living. To enjoy
living every moment of it. And to live in environments, which are
calm, quiet, slow, sophisticated, elegant. Just to be. Whether you
are naked or you have a golden robe on you, that doesn't make any
difference. The ideal purpose of your life is that you are grateful
- great and full - that you are alive, and you enjoy it." –
Yogi Bhajan
Whenever a person is very aggressive … make this gesture: Active gyan mudra with the palm outward, facing the person, with
the three fingers up. It doesn’t matter how aggressive a person
is, there shall not be energy in another person to act upon you,
not at all. It is an Oriental gesture of challenge. -- Yogi Bhajan
My request to you is do not let your calmness go. Do not let your peace of mind go. Be with the Guru through this time. Your spirit shall be content, and out of that contentment you'll find yourself with a lot of richness. It is very essential at this time. The majority of the world is living in a terrible fear. Nobody knows what is happening. There's too much information available to process. That is not the way. Just feel within yourself content and satisfied, peaceful and unique.
You are walking on the path of the Guru, where you must glow in that radiance and that truth so that others may recognize you are people of grace. And that's the way we are. If life is that short or long or small, it has a reason, a purpose, and you will do your purposeful living on this planet. That's why you are here. You have the right to prosperity and proportionate happiness, within yourselves and with each other. I pray, and pray deeply, that nothing should upset you. The Guru has designed your setup to guide you. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Yogi Bhajan
When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off.
Yogi Bhajan
Teach
what you know, don't teach what you don't know.
Yogi Bhajan
Our
greatest teachers never left behind billions of dollars. They left
behind a priceless way of life, a destiny and a distance that can
be traveled by everybody and experienced within a lifetime.
Yogi Bhajan
The
Age of Aquarius recognizes no religion,
only whether a person is with experience or without experience. Find
your spiritual frequency, your spiritual efficiency and your spiritual
existence within you.
Yogi Bhajan
You
have to bounce in life with joy. Your strength lies in your smiles
and your songs.
Yogi Bhajan 6/28/98
You
can fight stress with food but the intake, the quality and the quantity
must be regular. For the first 18 years, you can eat all the time.
Up to age 36, eat four times a day. Up to 54, eat three times a day.
Up to 72, eat twice a day. Beyond that, once a day.
Yogi Bhajan 11/17/93
Conduct must have a connection and it must have a straightforward
hope that you are speaking in service, not to control. That's a fundamental
definition of communication.
Yogi Bhajan 1/9/97
There's no relationship between you as a human and your God without
identity. And between you and your earth, your surroundings, there's
no world without identity. The first word you utter must identify
you. It should be your password. Otherwise you will have more pain
in your life than happiness.
Yogi Bhajan 7/31/87
When the mind is backed by the will, the mind is always positive.
When it's backed by ego, the mind is always negative. When it is backed
by your will, the hand of God will protect you. Miracles will happen.
Yogi Bhajan 7/22/82
The greatest reward of doing sadhana* (personal spiritual discipline)
is that the person becomes incapable of being defeated. Sadhana is
a self-victory, and it is a victory over time and space. Getting up
in the morning is a victory over time, and doing it (sadhana) is a
victory over space.
Yogi Bhajan
*Editor's note: The word Sadhana is derived
from the Sanskrit Sa, meaning all, and Dhana, meaning blessings.
Kundalini
Yoga will give you Intuitive, Comprehensive, Comparative Mind;
it will give it to you.
Kundalini Yoga will give you an all over sky type color. As the sky
covers everything, it will cover every aspect of your personality
and polarity.
Kundalini Yoga will make out of you a perfect, complete, happy human
being.
Kundalini Yoga will give you the prospect and prosperity in any walk
of religious life and achievement.
It will develop your undeveloped corners. It will give Grace to the
most weak points of your life.
It will give you what you have thought not to achieve.
Of all the sciences so far known to man, this is a science of living
as a complete man or a complete woman.
Yogi Bhajan 3/18/80
The
greatest mantra of the time is "Keep Up". Keep up, you will
be kept up. "Keep Up" is not a small mantra. If you ever
want to know who you are and where you are, just keep up. The world
shall bow to you.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
Your thinking pattern is based on what you normally speak. If you
speak the word of God, your thinking patterns will become divine.
The nerves create the patterns of the brain function by the movements
of the tongue.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
The
two most important things in your body are the upper palate, which
is the base of the hypothalamus, because the hypothalamus controls
the entire nervous system, and the tip of the tongue, which affects
the central nerve channel, shushumna.
That controls your entire psyche. More
Yogi Bhajan KWTC 1992
Mostly we see God as a big, terrible, impossible, scary thing. Instead,
make God a little friend. God should be nothing more to you than your
little teddy bear. If you can do that, God will love you one million
times.
Yogi Bhajan 7/15/87
Somebody asked Guru Nanak,
"Why is a musician always with you? And Guru Nanak answered,
"The instrument he's playing brings music to my words. For those
who have trouble hearing them, the trouble melts into the melody of
the words, which are sent to me by my God. He is not just playing
the instrument -- he is the instrument for reaching out my words to
people."
Yogi Bhajan 11/24/90
If you give your tomorrow to the hand of the One who created you,
you shall have no sorrow. You don't have to come to a spiritual teacher.
He may cheat you, misguide you, he may be a fake. Just become your
own student.
Yogi Bhajan 11/17/93
Compassion is for the very strong. Compassion does not come to the
weak. People who are unkind, bullies, use rude language, are not strong
people. They are very weak people.
Yogi Bhajan 7/31/87
You don't have to learn to be wise. If you just flow you can be successful.
Mother Nature will carry you.
Yogi Bhajan 6/11/90
In my life I train my mind with the knowledge of perfect harmony in
every relationship.
Yogi Bhajan 12/01/81
Experience yourself and all in you; in that unisonness is the beauty
of life. Otherwise you will be a victim of your own perpetual fear.
Yogi Bhajan 6/11/90
You can see the hand of God working only through intuition, then you
do not fear. Intuition is knowledge you see behind the Creator's hand.
Otherwise you only see time and space working, and that is very annoying.
That is the difference between a man with intuition and without intuition.
Yogi Bhajan 6/11/90
If a woman sits with folded hands in her lap for a few minutes everyday,
and feels she is a container so vast that she contains the whole universe,
she will never feel weak or have any problems. There is nothing beyond
woman except God.
Yogi Bhajan 7/18/87
Those who do the prayer and give their time in prayer, they are never
preyed upon by evil and doubt.
Yogi Bhajan 7/14/75
Can a child get into meditation and prayer? Children are the best.
I had a brother who was meditating when he was three days old. I have
seen children who are very meditative.
Yogi Bhajan 7/23/87
The best medicine that a person can have is the knowledge and experience
that he can swim through every tide and change of the time. If you
have the mental competency to deal with every situation that arises,
then you are very happy, very healthy, and very well-balanced person.
Yogi Bhajan 11/17/93
You must search yourself, compare yourself in strategy and find out
through your planning what God is, so you can trust God. Wake in the
morning with trust of God. Come home at evening trusting God. Sleep
at night being God.
Yogi Bhajan 11/17/93
If you can rhythmically slow down your breath to four breaths a minute,
you can indirectly control your mind and slow it down from its obnoxious
behavior.
Yogi Bhajan 7/23/08
The total sum of you is equal to how you project out and how thoughts
propel in. If thoughts propel in, you run after neurotic, subconscious,
unconscious fantasies. It is called: "Interlock of the propelled
thought." You cannot get out of this unless you add a meditative
mind.
Yogi Bhajan 11/17/87
To cross this ocean of the universe, you have to see the Unseen between
these two eyes which can see. You have to know the unknown, you have
to hear the unheard. That is naad, that's
the rhythm, that's the psychological, sociological, biological self
of you which is only in you, which you can develop.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
The question is, "Are you spiritual or are you not?" The
truth is you are. The reality is you don't believe it.
Yogi Bhajan 4/17/90
There are three things you cannot hide: smell of the garlic, fragrance
of the flower, and the wisdom of the teacher.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
You cannot be trusted if you misdirect. If you cannot put yourself
in the person you talk to, in his or her position exactly, then you
cannot think, you cannot work it out, you cannot guide.
Yogi Bhajan 10/22/85
Friendship means only one thing: you don't create fences around you,
but try to remove fences from the life of another person.
Yogi Bhajan 10/22/85
The Guru (The Teacher) is the
ocean where I totally merge myself and come out washed and clean.
Yogi Bhajan 12/01/81
Any move you make, you must pray because that ignites the power. Ignite
your power and then go. Then let God take care of it.
Yogi Bhajan 7/29/85
Middle-aged crisis come from the fear of being old. Instead of being
joyful about maturity, people start getting scared of being old.
Yogi Bhajan 6/11/90
Believe
nobody, but trust God. Yogi Bhajan
There is nothing more powerful than your self. God couldn't make anything
better than you. He took seven days. And prayer gives you yourself.
Prayer doesn't give you God; you are already God.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/85
Any individual whose breathing rate is eight per minute or less, cannot
be dissuaded or taken away from the fundamental truth of life.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Why is meditation essential?
By meditating we take our garbage out.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
Give people your goodness, God will give you goods and goodness.
Yogi Bhajan 1/16/00
As long as you don't compliment yourself, your environments and your
job, you will always be miserable. Complaints bring misery, compliments
brings strength.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/97
Adversity, calamity and misfortune, these are three sisters. They
only come to visit those who react to them. Opportunity, fortune and
good luck, these are three sisters, too. They come to visit those
who are calm, quiet and peaceful.
Yogi Bhajan 11/00
Life is simple. Life is not complicated. Life is only one thing: Identify
yourself.
Yogi Bhajan
The greatest education is the science of self. The science of self
and self-awareness is the highest knowledge a man can posses because
then you can pull yourself through all circumstances.
Yogi Bhajan
All training and all knowledge is meant for only one purpose, and
that purpose is very simple and clear. That you may be in a position
to control your mental self as well as your physical self. Yogi Bhajan
Man is a social animal. One who socializes with compassion and kindness
is a human. One who socializes with compassion, kindness and grace
is an angel.
Yogi Bhajan
All knowledge, all scriptures, all wealth, all environments, all energy
is meant to perform duty. When righteous action is done, God is pleased.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Any woman on this planet who values herself as a woman is great. She
is a giver of life. And when you are a giver of life, what more is
there?
Yogi Bhajan
When a human acts under impulse, as an animal, that human shall never
be redeemed. You have to act under intuition. If that is not developed,then
you have to act under your spirit.
Yogi Bhajan
Prosperity message for the Age of Aquarius.
Prosperity, prosperity, prosperity is perpetual with people who prefer
to be penetrating, prepared and purposeful. But prosperity only comes
to those who are trustworthy, deliver, and are content and consistent.
Basically it boils down to commitment. If you put your soul into anything
you can plug the whole world. It will be yours. You can sweep prosperity
with your commitment. Contain, commit, and be continuous.
Yogi Bhajan
It takes the same energy to complain as it does to compliment. When
there is a short circuit there is a complaint and when the energy
is flowing there is a compliment.
Yogi Bhajan
Don't just talk to a person. Don't just befriend a person. Don't just
shake hands with a person. Save that person. Elevate them.
Yogi Bhajan 4/4/97
The radiance of your spirit can be measured according to how the name
of God vibrates within you and around you ... so give 10% of your
time to God in the ambrosial hours of the morning ... 3 am - 6 am.
Yogi Bhajan
May God bless you with purity and piety, which are the best for armoring
oneself in the coming Age. May you be fulfilled in your thoughts;
may you be fulfilled in your endeavors and make yourself a life fulfilled
with compassion, kindness and care.
Yogi Bhajan
Human love is for one thing only; to love your soul. Then the Infinite
world around you will be in love with you.
Yogi Bhajan
The fundamental law of truth is that it penetrates through all darkness.
Yogi Bhajan
If your word does not mean anything, your prayer does not mean anything
either.
Yogi Bhajan
The strength of the man does not lie in what he has, but what he can
give. Only those can give who have the capacity to tap into the Universe.
If the Universe is not in your mind, your heart cannot give.
Yogi Bhajan
When you get pregnant it is your duty to bring that child in vibration,
keep that vibration right through that child, right in your womb.
Make that child a saint.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
A failure is only a step on the way to your success.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
Let us sincerely sit down, talk to our heart and head, speak with
our neutral mind, and see what is our path. And let us walk on that
path, totally conquering our mind, so that the world can trust us,
believe us, and be with us.
Yogi Bhajan 10/8/98
If for eleven minutes you do Sodarshan Chakra Kriya, it will keep
your chakras from slipping. If you are kind enough to do Bowing Jaap
Sahib, it will take away your sickness forever.
Yogi Bhajan 4/97
Project yourself in one way only -- in God you dwell. You belong to
God.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
Whatever you say consciously, your mind should listen consciously.
You will be surprisingly successful.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
Man is a social animal, but does not know how to form society within
his self. You see and feel your social contact outside, and that is
called pain. When you get your social contact inside, that is called
pleasure.
Yogi Bhajan 2/28/92
Our limited mind is our enemy and our unlimited mind is our best friend.
When you become a slave of the mind, it will limit you. When you use
it, it will bring you the whole universe.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
You have to become learned, experienced and candid and you have to
show steadfastness of your expertise. Then people will trust you,
and you will not need to hassle. Things shall come to you wherever
you are.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
You have to learn only one thing: You are you -- within you, around
you, after you, before you, and for you.
Yogi Bhajan 12/20/94
There are three things in life which destroy you: Being alone, being
unsuccessful, and not facing tomorrow.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
As you train your mind, shockingly it brings you prosperity as well
as the faculty to maintain it.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
When you are mad, angry, emotional, insecure, naive; then just find
the Infinity of God. The coin has two sides. Turn it over, look at
the other side.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
What we have done in our practical life is to separate God from us.
As God is separate, God's house is separate. Isn't a whole day a Temple?
Isn't a whole life a Temple?
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
Brush your hair, front to back to front,
three times. Your entire personality and energy will change. Using
a wooden comb is best.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
If you become your own teacher, prosperity will be there. Good things
and good ideas will come to you.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
You are a human being. You are suppose to have simple food. Not food
that is tasty but food that can be digested and come out of you in
twenty-four hours.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
I am requesting everybody to live without your hang-ups. We have to
move, we have to clear our blocks,we have to shed our fears. If you
cannot do it with everyone, at least do it with someone whom you consider
as your benefactor, who loves you, who is your teacher, who wishes
you well, who wants you to open up and who wants you to realize truth.
At least with that individual be honest and clear.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
The greatest power in a person is when he has realized that he is
God and then he acts like a god.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
The touch of the Khalsa (pure
one, one who contemplates the Lord) is radiant and makes everybody
else radiant. How to be Khalsa? Think to be.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
Let us have control over our lives so nobody else can control us.
Let us walk in this life objectively so we do not have to subject
ourselves to undesirable elements.
Yogi Bhajan 6/21/02
If we take judging ourselves and others out of our life, we will mostly
be living in paradise.
Yogi Bhajan
Life is a balance. The swings in the mind are there to give
you experience and let you discover the You within you. For all those
who will praise and recognize you, there may be equal number who wants
to slander you. That balance and swing lets your standard be tested.
You cannot hold to something external. You must find your own depth
and test it, confirm it. So, calamity is not a bad thing, it is a
right thing.
Yogi Bhajan
It is my feeling that now you are ready. Keep walking. Feel God is
with you, and understand that life is an opportunity we must not miss.
Yogi Bhajan 6/21/02
Your mental process comes from two sides; one is love, other is fear.
I can guarantee you do not know love. Fear, you all know.
Yogi Bhajan 6/7/89
The purpose of life is to reach God within you. Try it so you can
be happy, rich and prosperous, beautiful, bountiful and recognizable.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
A time will come when you shall meet your teacher for a tenth of a
second. When you see your teacher, you will feel it in your heart,
not your head. That is the end, beginning and middle of it.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
You fight between yourselves like cats and dogs. A human is not suppose
to fight. There is no wisdom in fighting. You create conflict for
emotional satisfaction and because of your sexual misgivings.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/98
When
you come upon a difficult task ... start.
Yogi Bhajan
When you will become nothing; you shall see everything, you shall
feel everything, you shall know everything and you shall command everything.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
The test of time is the test of the soul. When the soul belongs to
somebody then the body feels no pain, commitment comes easy and God
serves those beings.
Yogi Bhajan 5/26/75
Whatever your belief is, it shall be tested. Keep on increasing your
beliefs. You will keep on living. As long as what you believe is not
challenged, you cannot die.
Yogi Bhajan 4/17/90
The unknown fear, fear of tomorrow, is the enemy of every person.
Tomorrow should make you happy, you have to embrace and face it. If
you are afraid of it, you can never enjoy it.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
You cannot live by feelings and emotions; you have to live by your
intuition and consciousness.
Yogi Bhajan 7/11/95
Your problem is that you think everybody is thinking the same thing
as you. It is not true. Keep up and you'll be kept up. It is a law
of nature, it can't go wrong. It is the law to which God Himself shall
bow.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/91
You must have manners so a person cannot doubt you, and cannot be
betrayed. Then you win the trust of heart and head at the same time.
That is what we call manners.
Yogi Bhajan 4/97
The Siri Guru Granth Sahib is
not paper; it's not a book. It is bound in the spirit, the language
and prayers of those who conquered their minds, and enriched themselves
enough to become Siri Guru Granth. Give yourself one second when you
listen and before you speak. In one second you can see the light.
And if you stop just one second, you will have total effectiveness
because then the third eye, the Ajna,
will act.
Yogi Bhajan 11/00
I feel God is bound by the state of purity of a human.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
Your supply is equal to your demand. There is no lack of supply, only
lack of demand.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
When wisdom serves you, intelligence does not. Wisdom takes leave.
And when wisdom leave, you are an egomaniac.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
We live in the world with unawareness. That is our habit and we love
to live like that. That is our problem.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
If you become a teacher of your child, the relationship will be everlasting.
If you become parent of your child, then after the first eighteen
years you have to depart.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
You have not yet learned what spirituality is. It is not religion
or knowledge or happiness or good luck or tragedy. Spirituality is
facing yourself with a smile when life confronts you.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/92
When wisdom serves you, intelligence does not. Wisdom takes leave.
And when wisdom leave, you are an egomaniac.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
You do not speak if you do not experience. You must remember this.
Words will not come out of you if you do not have an experience. If
there is no wax, candle cannot have light.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
What is hate? When love is not maintained, when people don't stand
under.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Take one little thread, another and another and twist it -- it becomes
a rope. The power of that rope is many, many times more than that
of one thread. In the same way we can bring our psyche, spirit, mental
muscle and nervous system and position and being into a very consolidated
intertwine.
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
When your existence does not count, something else starts counting.
That is the beginning of your transcendence from physical egomaniac
presence.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
Everybody wants to get their palm read. Isn't it amazing? You all
want to know your tomorrow and you don't care to know your today.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
Where there is a Dharma there is no Karma. So we have to lean on dharmic
values, we have to build a dharmic family, we have to relate to that
family and we have to relate deeply.
Yogi Bhajan 3/16/81
We forget God because we think our limit is this Earth. That is our
limiting mind we apply. In reality we are here to experience the Infinity.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
If you want to pass the test of time, life, self, grace, projection
and reality, you must decide to keep up, no matter what. There is
no other way. And you have to keep up in the face of everything.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/91
The
game of life is not based on security, sex, love, emotions or feelings.
It is based on balance and imbalance, stability and non-stability.
Yogi Bhajan 2/28/92
There is nothing in this world that can block you. What blocks you
is you. You think you are miserable. Another person may not think
you are miserable, until you tell him you are.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
You
don't have to remember anybody; all you have to remember is you. God
rotates this Earth; God shall take care of your routine.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/91
Spirituality
without tolerance is milk with cyanide.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
Somebody
asked me why they suffer. Well, sometimes we don't eat pure food,
or have pure thoughts or pure deeds, or our environments and landscapes
are not pure. All those impurities get to us.
Yogi Bhajan 3/16/81
Service creates permanent love and friendship. Self-discipline creates
grace. And the neutral mind creates wisdom. These are the rules of
life.
Yogi Bhajan 7/11/95
Life is by breath, not years. The average breath is 20-25 times a
minute. In good health you breath 10-12 times a minute. But if you
practice one breath a minute for 11 minutes a day, you can be in control
of your mind.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
Can you believe I am never going to die? Do you know this body does
not mean anything? This body is not me. I have absolutely no identity
as a body.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
The only thing that is heard and understood and communicated at the
same time is truth. Therefore you should be truthful. Do not speak
for your advantage or my advantage.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
People who indulge into the lower chakras will never reach the higher
chakras. And people who are stuck in the higher chakras are called
"spaced out". There has to be balance. In that balance you
bounce in life with joy.
Yogi Bhajan 6/28/98
You have been designed as human and you have been designated as human
and you have a destiny as a human. Live it and you are God, deny it
and you will never find God.
Yogi Bhajan 5/26/75
When you speak a word it is recorded in the heavens. We call it the
Akashic record. The Earth reflects it.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
As
long as we fear death, we are just animal. Only humans have the faculty
of the meditative mind to conquer death and to become fearless.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
As long as you exist, God does not. When you do not exist, God does.
Under the ego nothing is experienced.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/98
We love our discipline more than our own life and deal with the world
as a whole. We walk tall and talk tall, as exclusive, straightforward
and truthful human beings.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
When you concentrate and find your self through your own meditation,
you can know the status of any person, and find the fountain of your
kindness and caliber.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
Just say to yourself, "I am a character, my acts will be pure
and pious, my projections will be gracious, and I shall be as I am."
That is all it takes. If you can do this, you shall achieve the kingdom
of all God has created. And you will be shocked, for when you meet
God face to face, you will find it is your face you are meeting.
Yogi Bhajan 9/24/02
Our way of life has to be gracious so we can attract people to this
way of life, and we have to have peace of mind so that we can spread
peace on this Earth.
Yogi Bhajan 6/21/02
Any act you can turn to a worship, an act of higher consciousness,
an act of giving, surrendering, committing to the absolute; that act
will take you to the absolute.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
Blames and claims are the worst way to live. Live and let live is
the best way to keep going.
Yogi Bhajan 9/16/85
We are doing a million things to our human body that do not keep its
strength intact. We do not have time for meditating so we can command
our own body. Our breathing habits, our cleaning habits, our eating
habits are very bad, still we live. I think that's the greatest miracle
we have.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
Purpose is not to say; purpose is to reach out with what you want
to say. Purpose is not to speak; purpose is to penetrate. Purpose
is not to communicate; purpose is to find the common grounds of understanding.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
Know your mind. You need not know God. God shall know you forever.
Yogi Bhajan 6/01/83
In the beginning, the middle and the end I am going to say, "Be
excellent!" Because I see that God made you, God has a purpose,
God has a destiny, God gives you everything.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/91
When you build anything at the cost of another person, you create
unhappiness for which there is no answer.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
The infinite Infinity and the most ruthless insecurity are two sides
of the pendulum in which the mind moves. Mind has to be trained, mind
has to be talked to; mind is not the master, mind is a servant.
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
After age 40, take just one meal a day. It will save you from many,
many things. Before age 40 we need physical strength, after age 40
we need mental strength, and from the beginning we need spiritual
strength.
Yogi Bhajan 6/21/02
Passion is like waves; it comes and goes. Compassion is the constant
flow.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
If
you check out your life, eighty percent of your mistakes occur because
you are not inside you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
Teacher is not a great popular person. They teach what they know and
make people better than them. Teacher must create a student better
than him or her. Otherwise that person is not a teacher but a preacher.
There are tons and thousands of preachers.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
You need three things: to be healthy, happy and holy. Those who want
to be happy as egomaniacs cannot be with us. And those who want to
be happy because of consciousness shall never leave.
Yogi Bhajan 12/30/80
Everybody is a pitcher - same earth, same Maker, same seasoning. You
can put honey or nectar or dirt or bad smelling water in your pitcher.
The choice is yours.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Come to an understanding that life is one, and within this life you
must enjoy yourself minus this crazy glue called ego, so that you
can experience the universe within you.

There are two ways to change things: Either you are forced to change
or you have the intuition to change.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
This nature around us, the vastness, the unlimited creativity and
productivity and resources of it -- that is the woman.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
Our depression and our dissatisfaction doesn't come out of the sky,
it comes out of our non-fulfillment of our duty.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Knowledge, happiness, purity and piety cannot be achieved from outside.
They are always within you.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
Imagine how wise, caring and complete you will be if you apply to
your self all of the energy you waste.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
You have depth, you have dimension and you have direction. You have
to balance it out.
Yogi Bhajan 3/16/81
We have a very powerful magnetic Psyche. We can attract things. But
we don't have the training, so we sweat and hassle and go after things.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
Depend on the cosmic energy as a beloved depends on the fragrance
of the lover.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
The time has come to become your own master and stop chasing masters.
Become your own reality, stop chasing religion. Become your own God.
Stop chasing God, be you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
God is nothing but your own power of Infinity. It is our romance,
it is our imagination, it is our reality. I can't give it to you.
You have to make it your own, as I made it my own. Each one has to
make his own reality of Infinity.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
Sometimes you think potential is a reality and reality is a potential,
that's the biggest mess. If you have a potential for something that
does not mean you have it.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Dharma is when we take action to uplift and serve others. Seva (selfless
service) is our Dharma. Doing Seva we will receive abundance a thousand
fold.
Yogi Bhajan 8/26/96
It is not good enough to be good all the time and talk about your
good. The fact is you have to share your goodness; you have to spread
your goodness; you have to give people everything you have.
Yogi Bhajan 1/16/00
We are Atma (soul) born for a human experience; we are not a human
born for spiritual experience.
Yogi Bhajan 6/25/95
When someone says anything, don't interrupt and don't try to interpret.
Let a person speak and listen. And then stop for a second and answer.
You'll be shocked how much you know, how impressive you are, how effective
you are and how deep you are.
Yogi Bhajan 11/2000
This Dharma is not personal. It is not anybody's property; it is not
anybody's affair. It is a combination of people who will work for
the future. It's the strength of the people who conquer their own
mind. It shall belong to those who will work selflessly for the beauty
of tomorrow and its generations.
Yogi Bhajan 10/8/98
It is not how much wealth we have,how learned we are; it is how much
tolerance we have to serve and uplift. We have to act as a forklift
to all those who come within our touch.
Yogi Bhajan 1/8/99
When you feel upset about a situation, write it down, put it in an
envelope and mail it to me (place the letter on your altar). You will
feel lighter when you write it, you will have hope for an answer and
it will give you a space which you need. This process is self-curing,
self- elevating and self-purifying.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
You think a vegetable is just a food. To me, a vegetable is as good
as a medicine.
Yogi Bhajan 2/28/92
By your ego you get yourself, which is very earthly and limited. Whenever
you want to get to your own unlimited self, you have to relate with
gratitude.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
Do you understand the word, "family"? Family means, under
all longitude and latitude, we keep our nucleus together.
Yogi Bhajan 3/16/81
When
you go to the root of your neurosis, you will always find the root
cause. The moment you find it, you will be surprised, the root will
be gone. It takes time and self-service. People do not want to recognize
their own neuroses because it is very easy to blame others.
Yogi Bhajan 9/16/85
You live by breath, you grow by breath, you die by breath, and you
do not know the science of breathing?
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
Teacher doesn't take help. Teacher is the help. Teacher is a very
unique relationship.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
Without the experience of Infinity you become everything except Infinity.
And everything else does not mean anything.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
If a person knows how to be ready, that person is ready. The only
difference is time.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/98

unison-ness, grace and power of radiance. This is the divine in you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/24/02
Let compassion win and you win.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/96
Commitment does not begin anything; commitment is the end in itself.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
When your breath is eight times a minute you are near God. When it
is four times a minute you are the perfect image of God. When you
breathe one breath per one minute you are the living God.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Every 7 years consciousness changes. Every 11 years intelligence changes.
Every 18 years lifestyle changes. It is the rule of the sun.
Yogi Bhajan 2/28/92
Every person has animal nature and angel or God nature. You have to
develop so that the angelic or God nature is handy and the animal
nature is under control. You need the beast nature, but it has to
serve you.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
We work to conquer the mind, to open our intuitive eye, so we can
see all is one and one is all.
Yogi Bhajan 10/8/98
No one else can limit you. If you want to limit yourself, you can.
Otherwise the entire resources of the Universe are yours to use.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
In this path of life, you have to call on your impersonal. When you
call on your personal self, then "I" has to come through
with "my" problems, insecurities, handicaps. But when you
call on your impersonal, then you call on your spirit, your Infinity.
When you call on your Infinity you can come through anything, you
shall never be handicapped. That is how you will enter the Age
of Aquarius.
Yogi Bhajan 12/20/94
What is karma? Half finished actions.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
When a woman limits herself, there is no peace.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
The ego is psychologically and biologically meant to sustain our identity.
It is not our purpose in life.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
If you just go with the flow of your spirit, your mind will just serve
you and life will be creative, elevated, beautiful and authentic.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
Love is consistent memory. With each breath, it comes, it lives, it
excels in you.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
You are the Master of your destiny, you are the prediction of your
horoscope, you are the leader of your day, you are the light of your
life.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
Wherever you are, if you study to be healthy,
happy and holy you will end up finding the Dharma.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
God is the realization within self. Projecting that realization into
practical action makes us God.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
God made you as best as He-She-It could, would or should. Do not make
doodoo of yourself. The breath of life is to be exalted. Walk tall
and feel free. Have no fear, no vengeance.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
If you flow with the flow of life, you will be healthy, happy, holy,
prosperous, intuitive, well-respected and understood. Otherwise you are trouble to yourself,
your neighbors, your pets and worst of all to your children.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/98
Every day, you have look at yourself and feel that you are getting
a little better. It does not matter whether you are eight or eighty
years old.

or perceive or experience what he or she is, everything else is totally
fake.

cells are sick, you can heal yourself miraculously.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
The banana is the only complete food (except for Vitamin C) and it
has sufficient potassium to keep your potassium and magnesium in balance.
The moment they are in balance, then calcium digests in the body perfectly
and your bone structure and mental structure becomes right.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
When you take even a calculated risk of overusing yourself, even though
time and space demands it, you have to pay for it. That's called Karma.
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
Put your hand on the top of your head and bless yourself.
Yogi Bhajan 6/7/89
The person who meditates knows when to change, how much to change,
why to change, what to change for.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
When you can conquer the rhythm of breath, you can conquer your mental
attitude as well as your behavior. When you can do that, you are perfect.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Knowing is not enough, you have to know what you know and then you
have to know what you don't know. When you know what you don't know,
that will give you the experience and the conviction of life and then
you can have the performance of life. You will be successful.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Let us understand the Age of Aquarius
is upon us. It is the age of knowledge. It is the age of giving people
tranquility, peace, dignity, divinity, grace and sharing.

own commitment. May the creator bless all creatures in equality and

What
God gave you, keep that as a gift and do not shift it; then you do
not create a rift between you and God.

that should be given divine expression.

you can just focus on the general good of another person.

Everybody wants to feel good - it is not a sin. Just follow the path
of wisdom, not the path of the mind.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
All your personal and financial problems are because you do not care
for your spiritual strength. You have wasted energy on petty things.
Cut out all that burns you out so that your light can keep burning
forever.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/97
We need to calculate our total strength and serve people from our
hearts. If it is heart to heart, you will never be handicapped.
Yogi Bhajan 11/99
We are the boat keepers of the incoming age and we welcome people
from every walk of life. That's why Guru
has blessed us to be a combination of all traditions: Judeo-Christian,
Islamic, Brahmin, Buddhist, Anglo, Aryan; you will find us united
at the feet of the Guru. See Religions.
Yogi Bhajan 2/11/96
Sometimes you think God is a big guy in the sky with 30 hands and
40 legs who does everything. That is not true. Whatever your known
is, that is you. Whatever your unknown is, that is God.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
In
the rhythm of your life you have to create harmony. And harmony can
only come if your motivated life is subjected to your intelligence
and your conscious personality.
Yogi Bhajan 10/29/84
We are born as spiritual beings. We have to become human. A human
is one who balances light and darkness. This is what life is about.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
In the spiritual world you cater to nothing, not even to yourself.
Live in the spiritual world because life wants you to live. Every
moment you are requested by life, "My Lord, please live."
That is the spiritual world.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
You have to conquer your laziness and ego. Insincere effort is a treachery
with your own self, because you are not trying to reach an experience.
Yogi Bhajan
Just remember, from today onward promise to speak sacredly, to live
sacredly and deal with life sacredly. Prosperity will be yours forever
and through your generation.
Yogi Bhajan 8/29/85
You have never learned that if you give time to the spirit and soul
you can be more excellent than all the professions in the world. Because
as all rivers come to the ocean, every profession seeks spiritual
guidance.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
You are here. Be so!
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
You are never to old to become a saint. All it takes is a turning
of the wheel of thought, a committing yourself within your self. All
it takes is committing to the world that from this day on your words
are just to exalt God. God shall exalt you on this Earth.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
Let us be virtuous and share our values with the world so we can bring
peace to ourselves and to all those around us.
Yogi Bhajan 6/21/02
You are never to old to become a saint. All it takes is a turning
of the wheel of thought, a committing yourself within your self. All
it takes is committing to the world that from this day on your words
are just to exalt God. God shall exalt you on this Earth.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
When you take a cold shower you open up your capillaries in exactly
five minutes and your chance of getting a common cold will be very
small.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
God is nothing but your own inner consciousness. Now I will agree
with you that you cannot always feel this God, but that is because
you think that you are separate from God. We call it Maya. Maya is
the illusion of separateness: it is the quicksand of this life. Sometimes
we sink into this quicksand and then we need a hook; we need some
guidance to help us pull ourselves out so that we can continue our
journey. The hook that we use to do this is called the Guru.
Yogi Bhajan, Summer Solstice, 1976
The shocking truth about prosperity is that it is shockingly right
instead of shockingly wrong to be prosperous.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
The storm is on us. Human beings are getting emptier inside, and we
can't face the challenges of the pressure. Everyone must meditate
and clear their minds.
Yogi Bhajan 1/8/99
It is your duty to speak the truth to your children and stand to it.
Don't lie to them, don't cater to them. When you cater to the child
you are trying to cover up and child has the super psychic power to
see behind it. The moment they uncover you they will not respect you.
Therefore, it is your duty to be straight with your own born.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
One thing you cannot handle is simplicity. If you are given a simple
way to do something you won't. You don't trust anything which is simple.
Yogi Bhajan 6/7/89
Regardless and reward less, duty must be done. When regardless and
reward less duty is done, God is experience. But if duty is done with
regards and within rewards, then ego is experienced.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
If your actions are base on kindness and compassion, you should be
judged kindly and compassionately. If your actions are based on selfishness,
you should be judged accordingly.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
Grace will come to you, glory will come to you, happiness will come
to you. Everything will come to you when you will act like God. God
gives, never takes anything. God love everyone. God lives in you.
God guards you.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Attitude of gratitude brings you opportunities beyond your concept.
And when the prayer becomes the vibration of the soul, mind and self,
we can create a miracle.
Yogi Bhajan 12/8/89
Those who belong are those who long to belong. And the sense of longing
is the self-ecstasy; it has no barriers, no walls and it does not
end.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
Any offering given in the name of God multiplies faster than time
and space. Contribute one-tenth to your higher being. Give yourself
a chance.
Yogi Bhajan 1/16/00
Virtues
are virtues and wishes are wishes. Every human being wants more virtues,
and wishes for much more than virtues. The question is: how to have
it. You can go to a restaurant and have a thirty-six-course meal and
enjoy your evening. That is possible. The question is - can your stomach
take it or not? The question is not how you live - you have the right
to live, as you want. The question is: are you living within your
understanding of who you are? The question is not whether you are
virtuous or wishful. The question is: have you understood your commitment
and the depth of your commitment?
A full life is when a person has his commitment and an understanding
of his commitment, and even death cannot change it. Guru
Nanak had a commitment - death couldn't change it. Jesus Christ
had a commitment - death couldn't change it. Moses had a commitment.
For forty years he carried the Commandments through the desert. No
change. When someone has spiritual ecstasy and elevation - forget
about temptation - even death can't change him. Then such a man creates
a legacy. Then man dies and legacy lives. This is the only beauty
granted to a human being.
Between
a person and God there are two paths, the path of fate and the path
of destiny. Those who create a distance from their destiny shall fall
into the path of fate. When you walk on the path of fate, you may
feel very happy and egomaniacal, but when death comes, you will be lost
again. When you walk on the path of destiny, it doesn't matter what
distance you cover, when the fatal blow of death comes, you shall
be liberated. This is the difference.
All the chanting, the religious rituals and the religious ceremonies
we do are for that last moment: "Was I true to my Dharma, or
was I not?" because right before death, there are moments when
the trinity of you, your destiny and your fate are judged. It is your
decision. Nobody else can do it.
It is the distinct nature of the soul that it comes on the earth to
deliver you forever by merging in the Creator. We call it God. There
is a price. That price to pay is the science of Dharma: the teachings
dictate, and art of living is given in whichever Dharma it is that
you follow. You can change to any religion, to any form and shape.
But what matters is whether you have understood reality or not. You
are a human. Have you understood what "human" means? That
matters. Whether you are a good person, a bad person, a rich person,
poor person, religious person or a fake - doesn't mean a thing.
Yogi Bhajan 4/24/91
Don't
follow the mind,follow the grace. Keep the dignity, be divine. You
will win.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
Fear is your own limitation. When you apply the brake to your soul
with your own limitations, that is fear. If fear saturates the self,
it becomes frustration. Then it becomes anger.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
In the beginning, the middle and the end it is you and you only. So
live well in your inner peace and inner strength. And when you feel
weak, call on your soul, your best friend.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
Never compete, never compare and never confuse yourself with everything
here. You have come from God. Be with your God and see the glory of
God in all, big and small. God shall be with you.
Yogi Bhajan 4/21/96
The question is: Are you spiritual or are you not? The truth is you
are. The reality is you don't believe it.
Yogi Bhajan 4/17/90
When joy and faith come, then one commits, lives through commitment
and feels the fulfillment of the commitment. Then life is fulfilled.
Yogi Bhajan 5/26/75
It is good to fill only half the stomach when you eat, because a loaded
stomach puts pressure on the heart, the diaphragm and the longs. The
stomach is not meant to be fully loaded-our suspension is not built
that way.
Yogi Bhajan 2/11/77
Your strength lies in your smiles and your songs.
Yogi Bhajan 6/28/98
It is not how good, how spiritual you look or how wonderful you appear.
It is what is inside that matters.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
Commitment is knowledge within itself. You don't commit to get the
knowledge. When you commit, knowledge comes to you. If you can commit
and hold on to it, there is nothing more you have to learn.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
If you do not know what wisdom is, the only thing you will have is
your neurosis.
Yogi Bhajan
You must know that you have the right to heal yourself. Each one of
you can heal your tired brain and your fatigued body.
