The Test of Life 
A Poem by Yogi Bhajan
Poem of the month from Yogi Bhajan's, "The Game of Love".
 Guru Ganesha Singh                             
Good and bad,
Happy and sad,
All is the test of excellence.

Love and romance,
Tears and dance,
All is the test of patience.

Sleep and dream,
Wealth and schemes,
All is the test of endurance.

Life and breath,
Height and depth,
All is the test of assurance.

You and me,
Earth and sea,
All is the test of senses.

Warmth and cold,
Bought and sold,
All is the test of essence.

Love and life,
Fight and strife,
All is the test of knowing-ness.

Know thyself and in One you merge.
This is the call and the soul's urge.
All is the test of courage.

Life is a gift.
From God there's a rift.
It is the test of oneness.

Know me.
In me, everything you see,
Is the test of your self.

Every spiritual path has an avenue of participation, an opportunity to give back through tithing. While tithing is traditionally one-tenth of one's income, many people give whatever amount they can. The principle of tithing is that if you give to Infinity, Infinity, in turn, will give back to you. It is a spiritual practice through which you build trust in the ability of the Universe to respond to the energy that you give.

Comments: All of life is a test. We are given a roadmap and an idea of a destination, a destiny, and then we are left to figure out the best way to get there. One person might go there directly, another might check out some side streets, yet another might wobble back and forth taking three steps forward two steps back. No matter which road we each choose, destination destiny remains the same. In all of this, it is our caliber that sees us through.
 
Development of caliber is a deeply spiritual process of consciousness and conquering the mind. Yogi Bhajan said the mind cannot simply sit, it must direct you somewhere, and you are the one who chooses.
 
This meditation helps develop the essence of caliber.

Yogi Bhajan Prosperity Lecture Excerpts
Master Your Destiny!
SSS pointing and standing
How much dust of ego you can put on your mind and on your soul, that you may not even forget to know who you are actually in reality in life, and what your concepts are.  It's very easy to feel and say, "I am very happy;" it's very easy to say and feel, "I am very unhappy."  In reality you are neither happy nor unhappy, you are an idiot, because happy and unhappy are all your mental conception. If you are unhappy, your mind should turn you to be happy, if you are happy, your mind should just remind you that there is a possibility of unhappiness, because everyday is followed by a night and every night is followed by a day, this is never going to stop.
This is your all mental freaking out. 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, that's it.  But you don't agree with that.  Why?  Because you get caught in your emotions, your traumas, your emptiness, your fulfillments and your ambitions, imaginations and God knows what.
  Spirituality is basic, authentic and its authenticity is what does things for you.  It's the light of my soul, which can carry me, not my money, not my friends, not my power.  You put in so much work into creating environments that you become the prisoner of the environments and the environments never carry you.  It's called mental duality.
You feel you can create huge environmental security around you, but no, if you just flow with flow of your spirit, your mind will serve you and life will be creative, elevated, beautiful and authentic and when it is authentic you will be trusted, you will be speaking the truth, there will be no hassle to manufacture anything, which vibrates negative. 
We have the capacity to keep going mentally, physically and spiritually, because that is the will of God and that is the flow.  We go corrupt, because our mind started guiding us rather than serving us.  Mind is not a master, it is a servant.  When a servant becomes master it is always a tyrant.
On this planet, we - all human beings - are supposed to be happy by the decree of the God.
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.  You are nothing but  represent God on this planet.  That's the will and that is the decree and that is God.  In God you dwell and God dwells in you.  It is the mental forgetfulness that will cause all this ego troubles, which are neither necessary nor wanted.
Beloved God, be kind to us, bless us to remember Thee now and forever.  Give us the consciousness to live, truth to rely on, and Thy grace to walk with.  May those who have come here in Thy name be blessed and delightfully received in consciousness, make their journey fruitful, their listening graceful, and their life full of virtues so they can carry Thy message into the world of today and tomorrow, Sat Nam.
