Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji
excerpted from Success and the Spirit: An Aquarian Path to Abundance 

Today I will share with you some human secrets that will shock you. First, I will ask some questions.

How many of you want to be divine and experience ecstasy?

Almost everybody. Is that true? So if you want it, then why don't you get it? Every religion-no matter what you practice-means ecstasy, right? And you want to experience ecstasy-that's true. You should see through the Third Eye and see above all. That's a natural human desire. It's a privilege as a human and the way of prosperity. There's no denying it.

But why don't you get it?

It is not a discipline. That's the tragedy of it. God has nothing to do with it. There are two ways to live. One way is that you will hustle for prosperity. The other way is that prosperity will come to you. In one way, you would like to have a man and have sex and that is it. The other is that you will be worshipped and respected and the right partner will come.

Everything that is right shall come to you. And everything that just looks right shall go wrong for you. There are only two ways. You can check your own life without me saying one word and you will find that this is true. You will grab things in your hand and they will go sour. But when you have nothing to do with it, things will become sweet to you.

Every wise man will be aware when he teaches Kundalini Yoga or talks about it that there are very strong do's and don'ts about it. You cannot teach Kundalini Yoga and tell every�body that they can just sleep in bed which ever way they like. (Sleeping in an East-West line will make vou less

susceptible to the gravity and magnetic field of the earth.) You can't do that. You cannot play the fool with your psyche. You cannot teach Kundalini Yoga and tell a weird type of meditation to blow off the top of somebody's head. And you cannot teach Kundalini Yoga if you cannot come out of your psycho-electromag�netic field to protect your student in the universe.  

Kundalini Yoga is not dangerous for the person who learns it; it is dan�gerous for the person who teaches it. If he cannot project health, forget it. His end will be so miserable you can't imagine it. It is a link cycle, a layer of the vibration; you can't get out of it. Kundalini, the mother of awareness, the mother of fulfillment, of creation, is not an occult power; it is not a gimmick. It is not a circus which is happening.  It is awareness; it is a to�tality of the personality of the being. The total being is involved with no part left out. It is not one religion or one God we are going to meet.  A man who practices Kundalini Yoga neither meets nor seeks God. God seeks him. He does not meditate; God meditates on him. He is the center of the whole nucleus. When he vibrates, the universe vibrates with him.

Originally published in Beads of Truth, June 1973 #18

Chief of Staff, Nirinjan Kaur, with Yogi Bhajan in the 1970s.

What is the art of work? How does it af�fect this dharma we have been chosen to ful�fill? Many of us have perhaps never really grasped the significance of work, as it deter�mines the outcome of our evolution or how the constant practice of work acts as a curb for our emotions, a diligent protector of our bodies, a soothing oasis of comfort for our torment, an instinctive outlet of negativity, a sacred source of joy--an unmistakable guide to the gateways of the Universe...that is, until we met Yogi Bhajan and gratefully ac�knowledged these universal teachings.

Yogiji has said "that man can reach the highest ego achievement if he longs to work." In other words, the fastest and easiest way to pay off our karmas which we have accumu�lated and to reach God-consciousness, is to work. For our consistent efforts will reap the greatest rewards--His Eternal Blessings. There is such a creativity in work that pro�duces an ecstasy and a great fulfillment. In our efforts to serve ourselves and to serve others, be it selfishly or selflessly, God receives all vibrations and all results. Whether and however we relate to God, He, Who is the Reality, is the Benefactor of our ser�vices. Ultimately, the Creator is the One who is the Receptor of our work, of our deeds, of our dedication and through our longing for our Beloved, our highest aspirations through work are attained. Since He is within all and with�out all and is the Cause and Effect, then we are affected by our causes (work), for we are One with Him.

Becoming me

How many lifetimes becoming me

all lead to this day

the day of surrender

Golden Temple - Amritsar

becoming me

I died that day

becoming me

Guru Ram Das said, 'Surrender - let go'

like a thunderbolt entered my solar plexus -

the heart

extending up to the heavens

down to the earth

like a rock - as light as a feather - as strong

as steel

Japji Sahib: The Song of the Soul. Composed by Guru Nanak

Living as a human being is a very special gift. It is through the human body that the Divine Consciousness can know Itself.

He recorded this path in a spiritual teaching-song called Japji Sahib.  In it, he gives a blueprint for how the Cosmos moves, and how the human identity flows within it. Join us for a weekend of meditation, study and community as we delve into the profound and timeless truths in Japji Sahib.
