If
you just feel happy for what you have, have an attitude of gratitude,
and be grateful, then it will come true, you will be great and you
will be full.
Yogi Bhajan 3/15/98
You are not born to suffer. Suffering comes when your mind does not
move.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
I still say every human who breathes is God, provided that person
realizes this truth and acts like God.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/65
Human is a blend of saint and soldier; this is a complete person.
If you are not a soldier your sainthood will be kicked around. If
you are only a soldier and not a saint, you will start kicking others
around.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Every breath of life is a precious gift and it is wasted in pursuing
a thing called fear. That is why Guru
Nanak said, "Have no fear and have no vengeance."
Yogi Bhajan 6/7/89
I have put this lighthouses somewhere in this wilderness. They are
the pioneers of hope. They are not perfect but they are trying. They
have not performed their duty yet, they are making effort to do it.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
If you understand in technological terms that you have thirty trillion
cells and God is dancing with them and you are part of that dance;
you will not only be prosperous, happy and gracious, you'll find everything
comes to you as it should be, and it must be, and it can be.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
You know what a teacher is? A chiseler, a polisher, a designer, whose
touch can make an ordinary human the master of time and space.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/97
Our thoughts hypnotize us. Your thoughts are not you. They are released
by your intellect.
Yogi Bhajan 6/7/89
If in every moment of distress you do not look to any other power
except One Creator, you shall never, never be unhappy.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
When I can give my head because I feel it is needed to meet the test
of time and space of some brother, sister, friend or stranger, then
no matter what it is used for, that is the state of fearlessness.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
If the environments challenge you to search your spirit, that is your
starting point on a spiritual path.
Yogi Bhajan 6/25/95
You don't have to learn things; you only have to learn within yourself
that you are you.
Yogi Bhajan 12/20/94
A status of fearlessness is that you can reach out in purity and piety.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
Understand the fundamental principle that a child is a gift, and it
needs values, virtues and character. You can potty train a child physically,
but if you don't train that child mentally and spiritually, you must
and shall suffer.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/97
Don't go and get it; be and allow it to come to you.
Yogi Bhajan 11/00
Success adores a prosperous attitude.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
God promised you three things: You will get a body, meet your teacher
once in your lifetime, and have a chance to find Infinity. That is
it - the rest is previous lives' karma. Nothing is earned here. It
was already here.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
Duty performed is God lived. Therefore, we say those who are dutiful
are beautiful.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
You have to serve humanity so that people feel you are kind to them.
You have to reach out so that people will feel the compassion. And
you have to be consistent with them, so they can feel that you care.
Yogi Bhajan 7/11/95
Too much intellectual nuisance and too much insecurity are the worst
diseases. Ultimately they will make both your mind and body sick.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
As the burning candle can attract the moth from miles away, that is
the effect of human radiance. That comes to anyone who practices Simran
(directing the breath and focus towards God).
Yogi Bhajan 5/26/75
In reality you are neither happy nor unhappy. You are an idiot, because
happy and unhappy are all your mental conception.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
First we create habits and then habits create us.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
When you look in the mirror there is only one thing you can do - just
thank God for the continuous breath of life. Otherwise this reactive
personality that you build will eat you up.
Yogi Bhajan 10/29/84
This body is a miracle. It needs to be watched, studied and understood.
Yogi Bhajan 4/12/86
When you walk, when you talk, when you speak and when you eat; you
are being judged. Keep your grace in these four areas.
Yogi Bhajan 7/9/81
Do not project physically, socially, personally, economically, politically
or sexually. Project only with purity and grace. You will never, ever
be handicapped.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
If you do not understand that life exists to challenge you with every
breath, you do not understand living. If you do not challenge your
life yourself, somebody will challenge it.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
The Age of Aquarius is about taking
the pot of water (Aquarius) and nurturing the whole universe; becoming
human in equal concept of service and then becoming angelic, kind
and compassionate.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
The secret of happiness is in your power to sacrifice and uplift others.
Happiness is in giving, not in taking. God will give to you. Trust
in the fact. The fact of life is that you and God are one identity.
There is no place for duality.
Yogi Bhajan 9/02
May we all be wise on this day to hold each other's hands and understand
that our commitment within us is divine, therefore we do not live
in duality.
Yogi Bhajan 6/15/03
The best thing to do when you are uptight is to whistle or sing a
song.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
The most important thing you have to know and feel is that you are
basically what you are. The first acknowledgement of God consciousness
is to understand you are a man or a woman and to be perfect as a man
or a woman.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
You are not rich or poor. You are what your mind tells you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
When your body is very young you can move a lot of things physically.
When you are old, your body can't do all that, but your mind and your
will can move it. Your spirit can come through and the flow can create
an exalted self within you.
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
You don't have to control the whole world, you don't have to rule
the universe, you don't have to show people you are rich or you are
poor, you are great or small. All you have to show is to yourself.
You have to win yourself, you have to conquer yourself, and you have
to live yourself.
Yogi Bhajan 10/6/96
In these days when humanity is going through the bloodshed, it is
obligatory for all those who live in peace and harmony, who love life
and have reverence for it, to give at least 2.5 minutes for the prayer.
That shall be a very kind act towards those who are going through
pain and blood.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
You are pitchers. Whatever is in you, that is your value. By your
habit and action, whatever you project to the outer world; that is
your value.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
When your entire action is based on truth, when truth guides your
action, you are the happiest.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy when there's no happiness
around. How can you be happy that way? Because you feel the Infinity
in you.
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
Create no difference between you and God. That is the key to happiness.
Tell yourself you are God-person, tell your relatives, tell your surroundings
and neighbors. Tell all the world.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
What is the conviction of a Sikh?
That now, ever, and ever I shall belong to the Guru.
And once that conception is there, then the Guru is there, then God
cannot go away.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
People do not know how to breathe. They are absolutely negative and
careless about their breath. They forget that without breath, dust
goes to dust.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Breathe mechanically (with awareness). It will take away your fatigue,
it will totally relax you and it will definitely change you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
When you are called upon and it is your duty and you answer the call,
that act is the act of God. That is divinity and when duty is performed,
the reward is relaxation.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
When you don't remember God, God remembers you. And God is so great,
whenever you call on Him, He answers you.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
Wherever you can do something out of compassion, kindness and reality,
you must do it because you are human.
Yogi Bhajan 1/16/00
Paying debts is one of the primary pre-requisites to becoming prosperous.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
What can you do for me? Only one thing. We want a good tomorrow, we
want the best tomorrow. Take away everybody's sorrow,including yours.
Yogi Bhajan 10/8/98
You are whoever you are, and you are born here with a duty to leave
the pain and enjoy the pleasure of raising others to the highest consciousness.
Yogi Bhajan 10/8/98
Whatever time and privilege I have to be with you is only to prepare
you for these cusp years. When the Ages cross, your past shall be
obsolete, it won't work for you. Your values won't work, your methods
and procedures won't work, but in your memory of these teachings you
will have the knowledge to cross the Age.
Yogi Bhajan 4/6/93
Don't talk to a person, don't befriend a person - serve that person.
Elevate them. Then you will be their friend forever, everlasting.
Yogi Bhajan 4/97
Make the intelligent choice. Persist in your successes, not your failures.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
A person who loves the teachings and loves the teacher must also love
the self. When you love yourself you will be truthful to yourself
and when you are truthful to yourself, you will throw out what is
untrue in you. That is the positive way of living.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
You need to understand God: God has no fear or vengeance. You happen
to be a personified God. Act like a personified God. Act like God
serves.
Yogi Bhajan 8/25/96
What you are is the gift of God to you and what you make of yourself
is your gift to God.
Yogi Bhajan 12/30/80
Talk to a child and the child's spirit, which is you. Show the child
tomorrow, and that there is no sorrow. Straight, simple, heart to
heart is how you should talk to a child and that lonely child in you.
Talk heart to heart to your soul for your tomorrow.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/97
Performing of a duty in a dutiful way is a beautiful way and that's
called Dharma.
Yogi Bhajan 88/6/75
Drop your problem and solve someone else's. That is spirituality.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
Even in the most minute subatomic particle you are the excellent living
reality of God.
Yogi Bhajan 10/13/99
God has a rhythm in reality. That is why in manifestation of you,
He provided everything in the womb. Then he provided all nurturing
and security of the environment as a child. But he said to you, "When
you will walk on your own, you have to walk complete." And for
that completion you have to develop your upper palate and your frontal
lobe. Meditate.
Yogi Bhajan 5/3/00
Humans are suppose to be good all the time. So why are we not good?
What is wrong with us is that nobody has told us it is our fundamental
right to be good.
Yogi Bhajan 9/9/95
You have the capacity to reach out to Infinity, and you have the capacity
to be totally depressed. It is what you choose that matters. Especially
in bad times, you must choose good things.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
Experience is in commitment. When you commit it is an experience that
you stand committed, there is no bigger experience than that.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
Love has no boundaries, jurisdiction, territory, facets, purpose or
projection. It is because it is. Meditate to reach that state, then
you will start experiencing it and things will start coming to you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
Wherever you are, if you are there with wisdom, with the impact of
wisdom, with the quality to share the wisdom, people shall come to
you because you are part of the flow.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/98
Life is a continuous process of growing up being responsible - able
to respond spontaneously. Those who have the capacity can deliver
the responsibility.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
Is your spirit higher than the challenge so you can face it? It is
simple. If your face and your grace do not give into the challenge,
you are spiritual. Otherwise you are not.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/92
Without intuition a person is blind. There is not such thing as the
third eye, it is actually human intuition.
Yogi Bhajan 6/11/95
Yes and no are not two different things. It is your mind that tell
you it is wrong. It is your mind that tell you it is right.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
I don't see anyone, ever. You all look like a bunch of rainbows to
me. It is a world of Infinity where the elements do not rule, where
the essence rules, where what is said is done, where there is no argument,
reason or logic. Where God dwells, faith proclaims and essence is
enjoyed. You do not have to hassle. Things come when they are supposed
to. It is a world of service.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
Walk tall with your dignity, divinity and grace so that happiness
will be with you in the New Age.
Yogi Bhajan 10/13/99
Those who want to live mutually, understand others and help them understand
others are always great.
Yogi Bhajan 4/97
Gratitude is the open door to abundance.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
Trust is the keynote of life. If you trust in God the entire creativity
will trust you because everything belongs to God. Trust is the key
of love, happiness, dignity, divinity and grace.
Yogi Bhajan 7/9/81
The soul has a journey and it is predestined. It takes longitude and
latitude to be born. It selects its geography, its space, the protective
nurturing essence of its parents and its environments. All that happens
in the first seven years are set.
Yogi Bhajan 10/22/94
The radiance of your spirit can be measured according to how the name
of God vibrates within you and around you. If your sadhana (spiritual
practice) is perfect, your spirit will be high. If you have forgotten
to chant the name of God, you will be in the doldrums. If you become
low and depressed, it is only because you have not warmed up your
machine in the morning; you have not done your spiritual practice.
In the Western world where there is such a criss-cross of mental thought
patterns, you must find a way to bring your mind under control. You
must learn to bring the level of yourself to zero, whenever you like.
This is practiced in sadhana. Remember, you are you and you are not
you. You are you in the frame of the defined finite, but you are not
you, in the frame of the infinite.
Yogi Bhajan
Now, we are leaving the Piscean Age, the Age of 'I want to know',
and beginning the Aquarian Age, the
Age of 'I know'."
Yogi Bhajan 12/20/94
Truly great fortunes were not received by hoarding money, but by circulating
it.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
When you are stuck, all you have to do is sit and become an instrument.
Just say, "Guru Ram Das, I don't
know. I'm stuck. Take care of it." That's what I do.
Yogi Bhajan 8/25/96
In your life you cannot lose your balance for a moment. The only way
to avoid trouble is to move in balance. When you, your character and
your body are in balance, you will ski down the mountain of marriage
and life in balance.
Yogi Bhajan 9/24/02
Perform the duty or die performing it. You will merge in God. Any
human who dies while performing or having performed a righteous act
achieves Godhood.
Yogi Bhajan 8/6/75
Here are the common features of the Age
of Aquarius: In their hearts, people will understand what is going
on. They may not find words to express themselves, but one day they
will. That day they will like to uplift fellow beings. The walls of
hatred will fall down. Instead of ill will and gossip, there will
be prayer on the tongues of everyone. Rather than competing for wealth,
people will compete for spiritual growth. We will have a common belief
of higher self, love for our Creator, and love for our consciousness
and grace.
Yogi Bhajan 9/24/02
The greatest protection in progress is to not forget who you are,
where you started and where you have to go.
Yogi Bhajan 10/16/73
You
cannot go higher in your own concept by what others tell you. What
matters is your own concept. You progress and your experiences are
always yours.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
Take the teachings of the Age of Aquarius
seriously and do not pollute them by mixing them with the Piscean
teachings - that is the only danger there is.
Yogi Bhajan 6/14/02
If you think you are poor you are poor because you do not communicate
with your soul - the source of prosperity, the source of reality.
Yogi Bhajan 7/25/89
You
are nothing but the representative of God on this planet. In God you
dwell and God dwells in you.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
You have the right to live as you want. The question is, are you living
within your understanding of who you are? Have you understood your
commitment, and the depth of your commitment?
Yogi Bhajan 4/24/91
The three virtues of sadhana (spiritual practice). When you have your
own mind under your control, intuition will give you all the knowledge
of the world. When you have control of your mind through your social
and structural facets, you have the answer to everything. When you
have control of your own mind, you can see the soul and God right
within you.
Yogi Bhajan
Your nucleus of life is: I am, I am. I am the creation of God, therefore
all of my actions are with the will of God, therefore I accept the
will of God. What is the will of God? Live with dignity.
Yogi Bhajan 7/9/81
Your thinking pattern is based on what you normally speak. If you
speak the word of God, your thinking pattern will become divine.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
Breathe one breath a minute. In three minutes you can get over any
mood.
Yogi Bhajan 9/10/95
If you want anything in life, patience is the base. Security lies
in patience.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
The whole world may give you support ... but you if your own mind
does not support you, you will not be in a position to do anything
in life. Your own mind cannot be controlled and guided and give you
the support until it is brought to a discipline. That word which brings
a mind to a discipline to support you is called "Mantra".
Man-tra ... to bring discipline to the mind. That is why we do Japa
(Repetition of Mantra-Bani). Japa creates the heat. That is called
Tapa; Tapa, that heat burns the karma. Out of the karma grows the
kindness and it becomes Dharma. Out of that it grows the compassion.
That is called "Sidhi", that is called "power".
From that comes the word "Sadhu", he who has controlled
himself through the all aspect of life and that is what we call "sadhana".
Which you do not normally want to do. How many of you are doing regular
sadhana?
Yogi Bhajan 6/25/87 Summer Solstice
Why do we call God the Father? Father does not have a creative nature
- father can only seed. We are a soul and part of that whole great
soul which is the seed in you. Creativity of sustenance and deliverance
is from the mother, and that is why the Earth is called mother.
Yogi Bhajan 7/10/75
Those who see the devil in me are the devils. Those who see God in
me are God. Because I am not me; I am just the mirror.
Yogi Bhajan 3/27/79
You are a part of the soul, soul is a part of God and you are alive
because there is a soul in you and you have the energy of the prana
to live through it. But you don't agree with that. You get caught
in your emotions, your traumas, your emptiness, your fulfillment,
your ambitions, imaginations and God knows what.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
I don't care what your circumstances and environments are, if you
can change your daily average pressure by balancing it in the morning
with sadhana (spiritual practice), and once a week, come to Gurdwara
(Temple) in a meditative, graceful, beautiful and pleasant fashion,
then I don't think there is any possibility that you can be destroyed.
Yogi Bhajan 4/8/79
You cannot blame or claim or relate to or expect anything from anybody.
You have nothing to do with anybody if you do not know who you are.
If you have no self knowledge, self relationship, self understanding
and self identity, then everything you do have means nothing.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
The problem at this moment is the majority of us do not want to do
sadhana (spiritual practice). These unfortunate people are really
cursed. With all the teachings and all the knowledge,
isn't it a curse? It is. Sometimes you use the children as an excuse,
sometimes the husband. One way or the other, there is an excuse. To
be realistic with you, an excuse is an excuse, and sadhana is sadhana.
I know on some days, I am dead tired. I feel I can't do my sadhana.
Then what do I do? I go to the bathroom, I take cold water, and I
wash my face again and again, and again and again, until I understand
that I am fully awake. When I am doing my sadhana, sleep sometimes
wants to overtake me; I get tired. Sometimes I get home late and I
have to get up very early. Then I do pranayam
and I apply some yogic locks.
I do a lot of things that I have learned and I go through it as gracefully
as a humble human being should.
Yogi Bhajan 8/23/78
Learning is not difficult; living is difficult. Discipline yourself
and see how fast you learn.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
You are not with your self, your energy is not with your self. Then
comes disease, that is how we use up our body. Then we die unaccomplished.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
You cannot blame or claim or relate to or expect anything from anybody.
You have nothing to do with anybody if you do not know who you are.
If you have no self knowledge, self relationship, self understanding
and self identity, then everything you do have means nothing.
Yogi Bhajan 2/5/92
If you are effective and realistic and you find your spirit, behave
and ride on it, you will be deeply remembered and honored. And those
who see your example as a role model will be grateful that you led
the way.
Yogi Bhajan 6/17/02
One prosperous thought is more powerful than a thousand thoughts of
failure.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
You loose all happiness in your life because of the fear of death.
A person in fear and phobia has no intuitive sensitivity.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
First
you have to master yourself and then you will become teachers. Teacher
is very open, a public park where anybody can walk in; so teacher
has to be very clean. Your conduct has to be crystal clear and you
have to be absolutely transparent. Only then can you be a teacher.
Yogi Bhajan 5/7/69
When we get insecure, we want to secure ourselves on the earth. Earth
plays a very important part in our life. But earth is only one tattwa
(element). What about water? What about fire? What about air?
Yogi Bhajan 5/11/91
Infinity has everything. When you relate to infinity, infinity gives
you everything.
Yogi Bhajan 5/21/00
The game of love is to identify ourselves as the Infinity, not the
individual.
Yogi Bhajan 6/28/98
Visualize
as much as you can conceive of yourself receiving and then lay positive
claim to that visualization.
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
Your greatest mantra is, "I don't know," "I can't say,"
"I can't do it," can't, can't, can't and when you can't,
can't, can't all the time and you want yes, yes, yes, happen, happen,
happen, miracle, miracle, miracle, what are you talking about? Just
test it out, have gratitude, an attitude of gratitude, and see how
many things come to you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/2/91
Mind is not supposed to do anything to you, mind is supposed to do
things for you. Mind is given to us; we are not given to mind.
Yogi Bhajan 6/1/83
Yoga creates balance between the imbalances of head and heart, body
and mind, soul and personality.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
We cannot survive through adversity without meditation. Meditation
is a process through which you take your total self, total pride,
total ego and total spirit and you put it on the line. It is the power
in the individual to take you through ALL adversities.
Yogi Bhajan 3/12/89
Don't listen to any words spoken against anybody, don't speak any
words against anybody and don't act against anybody. Success will
be yours.
Yogi Bhajan 7/8/81
To bring the mind under your mastery is very simple. Any thought which
comes to you, just ask, "Will it honor the Guru?"
If the answer is, "yes", go ahead. If the answer is, "no",
don't do it.
Yogi Bhajan 9/25/95
Be light then you can be bright. Then things will happen to you, you
will become rich, you will become prosperous.
Yogi Bhajan
Learn to be alert. Answer with a power of the soul. Relate with an
affirmation. Every word you say should be an affirmation.
Yogi Bhajan 8/22/86
Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is a test of self-grit. If your sadhana
is more important than your neurosis, you are fine. If your neurosis
is more important than your sadhana you are not. Doesn’t matter
how saintly you are, nobody wants to get up in the ambrosial hours.
Why you still do it is a mystery. At that time, between 3 and 6 o’clock,
the rays of the sun pass at 60 degrees and you want to feel relaxed.
You take a cold shower, wake up and meditate. Why do you repeat the
mantra hundreds of times? To create a stamina, an absolute mental
stamina. Without that there is no chance for the life to be smooth.
If somebody refuses to exercise, nobody can force him. But at that
one moment in life when that person needs physical stamina, it won’t
be there. Sadhana is what your mental stamina requires. Love is what
your spiritual stamina requires.
Yogi Bhajan
Let
me teach you about meditation. When you meditate, the entire garbage
of the subconscious starts floating. Meditation is not pleasant. Meditation
cannot be pleasant, otherwise it is not meditation. You are doing
something else. Meditation is just cleaning the house. Now, you have
a Hoover going on, and you say there was no noise? There is no dust?
How is that possible? Whenever you are going to clean the house, you
are going to see the whole thing upside down, and when you are going
to release the subconscious, you are going to find not only dirt of
this life, but of lives and lives and lives and lives and lives.
Meditation is a must process. It is an act of selfishness which a
person must do. What will it give you? Unpleasant labor. It’s
a labor of sweat. Now, what happens in meditation? When you meditate
with the Guru mantra, it must have respect … it must have reverence.
There are two things which must be there. When you sit and meditate,
your mind goes berserk. It is a wrestling match. Give your life a
chance. One tenth of the time belongs to the Guru.
I’m not asking you anything. I am not judging you, I am not
telling you anything. But one thing which I have learned, and I am
telling you, Guru as my guarantee:
there is nothing good in living except those personal hours of meditation.
Something has told me it can work. Those of you who devote one tenth
of your time to the Guru with
love and devotion, have received his blessing. Greetings to you. But
those of you who are still half way, they should make today a decision.
Let us do it for 40 days. If it doesn’t suit you, then leave
it. That’s how I started. Purpose of meditation is prosperity
here and hereafter!
Yogi Bhajan 1988
The
purpose of the entire practice of the total human life is that when
you leave the breath of life; you know you are leaving, you give it
to Infinity as an offering, you close your eyes, say, "Wahe
Guru" and be gone. That act of a moment is all of life in
a nutshell.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
Live with applied consciousness, prosperity will breakthrough the
walls, you will be flooded with it. You do prayer when you are in
difficulty; pray when you are not in difficulty, that's the attitude
of gratitude.
Yogi Bhajan 8/31/91
The day we believe in the subtlety of life, all of our problems will
be solved, for subtlety can reach out and fill every gap.
Yogi Bhajan 9/28/02
Think only in prosperous terms and think big!
Yogi Bhajan 4/89
When union happens between a human and God, and that understanding
comes, and you invoke your own spirit, then the entire universe will
come through you.
Yogi Bhajan 4/98
Everybody has God’s light and it must be lit by a person’s
own discipline. And the glass to keep it lit and shining should be
kept by the person’s own courage, strength and grit. I believe
it. I believe this is the love. I believe everybody has the chance
to love one’s soul and every soul has the right to shine and
every shine has to bring light and brightness, beauty and bountifulness
to all, generation after generation.
Yogi Bhajan
Education is not what you learn from time. Education is what you learn
from your intuition and apply to time.
Yogi Bhajan 9/02
The greatest reward of doing Sadhana (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. When you get up for sadhana,
you defeat a part of yourself because you don’t want to get
up. Getting up is a victory over time, and doing it is a victory over
space. That is what sadhana is. Sadhana is only for you-it is a self-victory…Sadhana
is an answer to every misfortune, and who wants to see you in misfortune?
Sadhana is not a matter of advantages and miseries, misfortunes and
handicaps. It is a very personal thing which does not relate to anybody
except yourself.
Yogi Bhajan
Use the "One Minute Breath" each day. Practice it to the
point you have mastery. All knowledge of the universe, here and hereafter,
of the underworld and the heavenly skies, will dawn on you.
Yogi Bhajan 9/22/02
You can only be proud of one thing-if you have found your soul within
yourself. You can only be proud that you have found the selflessness
within yourself, and you become Grace of God.
Yogi Bhajan
This is not a path of a man or god. It is a path of purity, piety,
and the power of that divinity. I'm not important, you're not important.
Your purity is important.
Yogi Bhajan 12/20/94
Constantly direct yourself to your own higher self; you will always
win in life, there shall be prosperity in your life, and you will
never be poor.
Yogi Bhajan
Victory is my goal, victory is my strength. Victory is my guide, victory
is my teacher. Just learn one word, "Victory." It is a very
wonderful word. Start the year with the word victory. You are already
in it. Repeat it as many times as you can to engrave it in your every
molecule, "Victory!" Repeat it and make it the mantra of
the year. The very mental utterance of this word is my gift to you.
Bless you, be beautiful, be bountiful, be helpful, be your own grace.
Best of the New Year and life as may be. Let the wind be behind you,
angels dance with you and your consciousness guide you to victory.
Yogi Bhajan 12/31/92
Taking is suffering. Giving is happiness.
Yogi Bhajan 3/8/99
The only thing that pays in your life is patience. The one who does
not have patience is a patient. The highest test of a human being
is whether he has patience or not.
Yogi Bhajan
It is very difficult to become spiritual. That means you become a
part of the universe and the universe becomes a part of you.
Yogi Bhajan
I have no body. I have no mind. I have no spirit. I am just the breath
of God, the Breath of Life. Breath of Life, Breath of God.
Yogi Bhajan
You are a Temple of God. Simply you need to recharge yourself to face
the obstacles and height of time and space. Those are your challenges.
Yogi Bhajan 4/2/97
Truth you speak, trust you get. Lies you tell, distrusted you are.
Trusted you win, distrusted you lose.
Yogi Bhajan
When the breath is shallow, all problems come in. All caffeine, nicotine,
all these drugs are the problem of the shallow breath. All those who
crave sugar and sweets are shallow breathers.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/98
It
does not matter who you are, it only matters how you radiate. Happiness
does not come through materials, it comes through happiness.
Yogi Bhajan
You determine your worth. Nobody else can do it. Whatever worth you
give yourself, that shall be.
Yogi Bhajan 1/23/93
Self does not rest. Self seeks.
Yogi Bhajan 8/2/95
All
art, music, dance and handicrafts attempt to capture and reflect the
flow of the universal life force.
Yogi Bhajan
Fantasy and anger totally destroy the human body. Tolerance is the
greatest human asset.
Yogi Bhajan 1/4/94
The feet express the heavens and the hands express the feet. If you
want to adjust the psychic body, massage the feet. If you want to
adjust the physical body, massage the hands.
Yogi Bhajan 5/1/85
Glands are the guardians of your health. One of the great secrets
of Kundalini Yoga which accounts for
its power and dynamic, rapid results is the ability to make the glands
secrete.
Yogi Bhajan 3/23/87
The one thing you have to do in life is spread the light. Be the lighthouse.
Yogi Bhajan 10/5/88
The
price of nobility is discipline. The price of ecstasy is Sadhana.
The price of God is living without doubt.
Yogi Bhajan 5/23/84
Many Avatars came and claimed that God is in them. I agree. I want
to know who that person is in whom God is not?
Yogi Bhajan
Ten things to do for your children: Love them, build their self-esteem,
challenge them, listen to them, expect respect, limit them, make God
a part of their lives, develop their love of learning, help them to
be community-minded, let them go.
Yogi Bhajan
Those who do not move, move the universe. Those who move, don't move
anything.
Yogi Bhajan
If God, because of His Love has given you the life to experience His
Grace, do it now. Dig deep into your values. Dig deep into your consciousness.
Dig deep in your self and find it and live it.
Yogi Bhajan
If you are willing to look at another person’s behavior toward
you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves
rather than a statement about your value as a person, then you will,
over a period of time cease to react at all.
Yogi Bhajan
A song which brings you together as one is the only thing in human
nature that brings God, heaven and earth together in oneness.
Yogi Bhajan
If a woman sits with folded hands in her lap for a few minutes every
day, and feels she is a container so vast that she contains the whole
universe, she will never feel weak or have any problem. There's nothing
beyond woman except God.
Yogi Bhajan 7/15/87
Be loved for your knowledge, your experience, and your faith.
Yogi Bhajan
Anyone who has nine holes is holy, anyone who does not react to time
and space is happy, and anybody who eats little and drinks little
is healthy. Principles are simple. But to do all that what you need
is an intuitive mind to control yourself. I hope you will give it
a chance.
Yogi Bhajan 6/9/98
Doing Sadhana is not to please God; it is to please your own self,
to clean your own self, to cleanse your own mind. You'll find the
brightness of the earth.
Yogi Bhajan 7/11/82
Do not degrade yourself for the sake of temporary measures, which
serve temporary situations to temporarily escape time. That is not
majestic, graceful, human living.
Yogi Bhajan
Blessed God, give us strength, faith and truth to guide ourselves
now and forever. Sat Nam, blessings, blessings, blessings.
Yogi Bhajan 12/7/83
If you think you are poor, you are poor because you do not communicate
with your soul, the source of prosperity, the source of reality. If
you think you are desperate, you are desperate because you have no
sadhana. Desperation, depression, and a feeling of destitution comes
only to those who have no discipline or sadhana. Only a house which
is not cleaned looks dirty and the mind which is not cleaned stinks.
Sadhana is the most selfish act, because it is a self-cleansing. Cleanliness
is Godliness. It is good to wear good clothes, look good, be bright,
beautiful. But when you want to be blissful
and bountiful, you have to have a clear mind, a mind through which
your soul, your spirit can shine.
Yogi Bhajan
Life is an essence of essential energy given as a gift of God to pay
the debts of all previous lives in the human tenure, so that one may
go home free with a radiant face.
Yogi Bhajan
Left nostril breathing gives you self-endurance, self effectiveness
and self respect. Right nostril breathing gives you projection, sacrifice,
power to attach, power to penetrate and power to exert. That is why
God gave you both nostrils.
Yogi Bhajan, 1979
Love is a sacrifice, love has no limit. When it has a limit, it is
not love.
Yogi Bhajan
Some people think meditation is: You sit in a chair and chant Sat
Nam, Om, God, Jesus. Or you sit on a mat with your back straight.
This is not meditation; it is an effort to prepare yourself for meditation.
Preparation is not the complete result.
Yogi Bhajan
You have never been told that your real mother is Mother Earth, who
is actually controlling your electromagnetic field.
Yogi Bhajan
Thirty one minutes of mechanical (conscious) breathing can give you
better health than you ever had before. It can give you strength beyond
understanding. It can give you answers for every question.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/98
Serve people. Don't expect results. Don't put your harpoon into another.
Just serve. People will love you. It will be an everlasting friendship.
Yogi Bhajan 3/25/97
Consult your spirit, your soul about everything.
Yogi Bhajan 1/27/86
The
first faculty of a leader is that you have to be a leader of yourself.
Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga is a very old science
for realizing the reality within the realm of consciousness.
Yogi Bhajan 6/14/84
Why repeat the Name of God? So that it enters our subconscious memory.
Why do sadhana? So that our conscious memory can subconsciously relate
to the Supreme Consciousness. These are acts for the Self; they are
extremely selfish acts.
Yogi Bhajan, July 11, 1982
Meditation is the creative control of self where the Infinite can
talk to you.
Yogi Bhajan 6/19/96
We are obnoxious to our own life when we do not discipline it.
Yogi Bhajan 4/16/85
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
No one wants to save their soul, all they want to do is save face.
Yogi Bhajan 3/30/93
Yoga was made for human to be healthy, happy and holy. Kundalini
Yoga was made for human to be healthy, happy, holy and aware.
The secret of your soul is awareness.
Yogi Bhajan 6/17/94
Common features of the Age of Aquarius:
In their hearts, people will understand what is going on. They may
not find words to express themselves, but one day they will. That
day they will like to uplift fellow beings. The walls of hatred will
fall down. Instead of ill will and gossip, there will be prayer on
the tongues of everyone. Rather than competing for wealth, people
will compete for spiritual growth. We will have a common belief of
higher self, love for our Creator, and love for our consciousness
and grace.
Yogi Bhajan 9/24/02
Be contained, contented and conscious. That is happiness.
Yogi Bhajan 1/12/76
Those without complexes live by the virtue of their soul all the time
- a mental process with no division: "I am just a spirit among
other spirits and I will merge back into the Great Spirit from which
we all came."
Yogi Bhajan 7/24/96
Love is consistent memory. With every breath, it comes, it lives,
it excels in you.
Yogi Bhajan 1/5/88
Love is a sacrifice. Love is not a projection; love is an attraction.
Yogi Bhajan
There are three areas where your unconscious can lock your mind and
you will not be aware of it: your insecurity, your incompetence and
your projection of your reality.
Yogi Bhajan 6/4/86
If your mind goes along with you it is a blessing. If your mind obeys
you it is a super blessing.
Yogi Bhajan 11/7/85
Karma is Newton's third law. Buddha got enlightened with Newton's
third law. Every action has a reaction, equal and opposite.
Yogi Bhajan
If you cannot bless yourself, then nobody can bless you.
Yogi Bhajan 4/4/94
We call the time we spend on our maintenance, Sadhana. It is an essential
part of life. If you do your Sadhana, your mind can take the pressure.
It will guide you and groom you properly.
Yogi Bhajan
"Wahe Guru" is the mantra of
the pituitary gland.
Yogi Bhajan 11/28/84
You must understand that in the Age of
Aquarius, each one shall be the leader of his own spirit. Each
one shall be the pivot of his own life.
Yogi Bhajan
Human being is a meditative mind progressively committed and rationally
progressive. It has three essences: divinity, dignity and grace. There
is no other way to be happy.
Yogi Bhajan
Your life always changes in seven years. Within seven years your loss
must turn into a gain and your gain must turn into a loss. This is
how the Universe has been created.
This is a cosmic cycle.
Yogi Bhajan
If you start valuing your breath, valuing your environment and valuing
your projection, then one day you will be surprised that everyone
in turn will value you.
Yogi Bhajan 1/17/00
Mind is a link between Infinity and you. When the soul got the body,
it asked God, "What is the link with You, my Lord?" And
God said, "Mind."
Yogi Bhajan 1/9/98
Be kind, conscious and compassionate. The whole world will be your
friend.
Yogi Bhajan 4/26/76
He who is the best student becomes the best teacher.
Yogi Bhajan
Is Yoga a religion? It is and it is not. In religion you have to believe
something and in yoga you have to experience what you want to believe.
Yogi Bhajan 5/17/92
Who is enlightened? One who can see everything: good, bad and neutral.
One who sees all and sees God. If you cannot see God in all, you cannot
see God at all.
Yogi Bhajan
You can never get rid of your fears, you can never get rid of your
pain, no matter what effort you make, until you have the guts to forgive
yourself. Just forgive yourself.
Yogi Bhajan 1/29/86
Richness is when you can gracefully spend money. When you spend money
and worry about it then you are poor. When you can live and laugh
then you are healthy and when you live in complaint then you are unhealthy.
Yogi Bhajan
When I tell you to get up and meditate in the ambrosial hours, it
seems odd. Why should you get up at 3:30 am? Because you require those
two hours to work out your own mind, so that the rest of the day you
can work out your life. "Amrit vela naam jaap." Rise in
the ambrosial hours and meditate. Be with God. Whenever your mind
will be in duality, you will be in trouble. There is no way you can
function. ‘Should I go north? Should I go south?’ If you
can’t decide which way you are going to go, you are going to
sit right there. You’ll neither go North nor South. That’s
called duality. Life is a gift of God, and duality is a waste of that
life. It doesn’t matter who you are. You may be the President
of the United States, or a beggar in the street. Whenever you have
duality, you will be in trouble. That’s the law. Nobody can
change it. To have no duality and to have oneness and clarity of mind,
you have to keep your mind clean, smart, and healthy.
Yogi Bhajan
Body is not all. Mind is not all. Spirit is not all. All three make
the sense.
Yogi Bhajan 12/5/95
If you cannot find balance in your existence, nothing in your life
will ever have any meaning to you.
Yogi Bhajan 4/22/76
By doing a prayer, you are only concentrating on your own strength.
You give yourself a chance to be stronger. A person who's spiritually
strong can't be defeated.
Yogi Bhajan 7/15/87
Not taking advantage of anybody else is called simple living. That
is your basic responsibility.
Yogi Bhajan
The ordinary brain cannot be happy, because it is a brain of conflict.
It has to be turned to the Oneness of the Universe.
Yogi Bhajan
When you are upset,when you are not contained and you are feeling
very bad, just take a long deep breath. Then begin to measure so that
you breathe five times per minute. It will not take more than 90 seconds
and you will be content.
Yogi Bhajan 5/13/96
In America we have expanded the technology of the machine to such
an extent that we do not know where we are going. We have not developed
the technology of the mind so we can halt ourselves when we want.
And that is what is creating a lot of chaos in our lives. My personal
feeling is that you must technically learn how to control the mind
so that you can be useful to your own life.
Yogi Bhajan 11/6/75
The connection between your power and your projection is the mind;
therefore it has to be a quick, clean, classified, qualified mind
-- a clean mind -- that’s why you do Sadhana. It’s a consciousness.
Yogi Bhajan, July 11, 1982
In meditation God can talk to you and in prayer you can talk to God.
Yogi Bhajan
With all that I am, with the extreme mastery that I have realize,
I have found ultimately that there is nothing in the Universe but
prana (life force). If the pranas are vibrant and the arclines are
complete, you have no problem.
Yogi Bhajan 8/8/90
It is a human tendency to like to sleep between 3 am and 6 am. It’s
natural. But if you can be alert enough to work on your mind, to confront
the day, then you are alert enough to take care of your life. The
reason you don’t get up early is not because you are lazy, tired
or overworked -- that’s all wrong. You do not get up early in
the morning because the relationship between you and your mind is
not established. Period.
Yogi Bhajan, July 11, 1982
Divide
your stomach into four parts: one part for food,one part for water,
one part for air and one part to digest what is eaten.
Yogi Bhajan 10/31/84
Inner anger can make you accomplish a lot but if you are angry and
blaming, you will stay in low esteem. This creates a long term stress
which dulls the mind, makes life boring and takes away your happiness.
Yogi Bhajan 2/26/86
Kundalini Yoga is uncoiling yourself
to find your potential and your vitality and to reach for your virtues.
Yogi Bhajan 12/15/93
Life is moment to moment, breath to breath. Life is not granted by
years or by time and space. The span of life is granted by breath:
such and such soul granted so many breaths.
Yogi Bhajan
We live by the beat of the heart, not the thoughts of the head.
Yogi Bhajan 1/24/96
Most people don't clean their subconscious through meditation, and
get an overloaded subconscious. Then the conscious become dominated
by the unconscious. It's just like when the arteries get clogged up
and the heart loses vitality. Life becomes useless and empty and you
start blaming yourself. You are never wrong, never were, never will
be. But you are clogged up.
Yogi Bhajan 7/23/87
Remember that intellectual knowledge does not hold and sustain you.
Knowledge only becomes wisdom when you experience it with your own
heart and being.
Yogi Bhajan
One prosperous thought is more powerful than a thousand thoughts of
failure.
Yogi Bhajan
In the Computer Age we need a meditative mind and applied consciousness.
We need to develop that mental power so that we are not ruled by outside
circumstances.
Yogi Bhajan 1/10/00
Twenty
seconds inhale, twenty seconds hold, twenty seconds exhale. The moment
you achieve that status, your intuition will open up. You will know
everything. And when you know everything, you do not have to worry
about anything. When you don't worry, you are clear.
Yogi Bhajan 12/17/95
The purpose is to realize you and within you the truth in you, the
light in you, the delightfulness of God in you. That is your Soul.
Yogi Bhajan
You are born to relate to the future. You are born to relate to the
silence that can speak to you, that calmness that can stir you to
infinity, that radiance that can give you absolute selflessness.
Yogi Bhajan
Why do we suffer in our lives? Because meditatively we know, but directly
we do not confront it. If you want to understand the secret of your
own happiness, this is the one sentence which can explain it to you.
Yogi Bhajan
When the spirit flows, it will wash away all your weaknesses. As long
as you have weaknesses, your spirit is not flowing.
Yogi Bhajan6/16/84
People have been told there is a "God's will". Then it sounds
that God's will is outside of you. That is not true. There is no such
thing as God's will outside of you.
Yogi Bhajan 6/13/84
Whatever your spirit of mind is, that is your breathing. If you can
control your breathing, you can directly control your mind. A person
who breathes only eight times a minute has self control. He can guide
his destiny. He can carve his own way. But we forget. We don't remember
that breath has any importance to us.
Yogi Bhajan 10/27/69
It is difficult to work on yourself, but to change someone else from
a negative to positive state of mind can be the easiest thing to do.
Because when you are working with another person, your entire ego
is at stake and you are stimulated to be at your best. And once you
are at your best,you start to create the habit of being continually
at your best.
Yogi Bhajan
Group consciousness is an intermediate stage. It is what you pass
through in the journey from individual consciousness to universal
consciousness.
Yogi Bhajan
Life is not given to you for any reason but to experience your own
creativity and your own self in the dignity of its existence.
Yogi Bhajan 10/22/85
In the Age of Aquarius, the depression
and stress on mankind will tear up people who do not have the technical
knowledge of self.
Yogi Bhajan 5/19/93
People vibrate with a given physical energy. When the given physical
energy vibrates and exalts the Infinite Word, then mental energy correlates
and universal energy takes over.
Yogi Bhajan
Every defeat in life is based on your own reaction.
Yogi Bhajan 5/15/85
Stiffness in the body can make the body old and brittle even at a
young age. It can make the mind's mischief intolerable to the point
of insanity at any age.
Yogi Bhajan 11/2/88
You have to know your strengths and weaknesses. Between your strengths
and weaknesses is you.
Yogi Bhajan 5/23/84
No two bodies are alike and no two minds are alike. What is alike?
The soul.
Yogi Bhajan
When you walk on the path of spirituality, one thing is very essential:
you must see the hand of God.
Yogi Bhajan 5/30/96
Hair is the pranic antenna. It is energy,
pure protein.
Yogi Bhajan
May our power of peaceful reality and purity and projection, in ecstasy
of consciousness and the joy of love make us the givers, the servants
of God. We will reach out for all needs, for all men, for all times.
May our essence long to serve others and uplift our own consciousness
in fulfillment, joy, peace and tranquility.
Yogi Bhajan
You have to be kind to yourself and you have to forgive your past
and you have to have a beautiful tomorrow. The greatest communication
is when you communicate with yourself that tomorrow is yours.
Yogi Bhajan
Who will take care of me? Me, myself, and I.
Yogi Bhajan
What is dharma? When in the utmost disgrace, you are still the grace,in
the utmost provocation, you are still very cool, calm,quiet, peaceful
and in the utmost insanity you are very, very sane. That is dharma.
Yogi Bhajan
You have to develop your eyes to see the universe beyond its existence.
You must know the focus so you can see a huge tree, and its fruit,
and also see the little seed which God developed into that tree is
still there. It has not gone.
Yogi Bhajan
Give
us strength, encourage us in spirit. Elevate us in radiance so we
can be healthy, happy,holy and blessed with the bliss of our life
and love so that we can smile, communicate and be as a spirit shining
in Thy name to all human beings.
Yogi Bhajan
Those who seek God inside, find God. Those who seek God outside, waste
their time and waste their lives.
Yogi Bhajan.
Any time you do not have the answer for anything, hold the breath
in. The moment you do this, the body will automatically computerize
to survive and your question is heard with it. It will give you the
answer. This is because the breath of life is life itself and everything
is a facet of life. There is nothing beyond that.
Yogi Bhajan 1993
As much as I have taught you, if you practiced one hundredth of it,
none of you would have any trouble.
Yogi Bhajan
People who cater to children will always lose them because you are
not giving values when you expand the ego to such an extent that there
is nothing to stop it. Then life is destructive and the first thing
such a child will do is to disobey the parents and leave the home.
Yogi Bhajan.
Give yourself a chance. Take your depth, count your dimension and
direct your energy in God's way. You will find peace, happiness, prosperity
and joy.
