It is a good day to begin something, or begin something again. Regardless of how previous efforts were subverted, there now will be little resistance to your loftiest intentions. If mistakes were made we can press reset and begin again with a blank slate. If previously we did not know how to begin, we can proceed now confidently.

Those of you who have done it, know it…
“Those of you who have done it, know it. There’s nothing I can add or say. With honesty, honor, and intensity you have done it; that’s your experience. It doesn’t take much to bring God down into us. Actually, God is in us. Simply sometimes we can just concentrate and become that. It’s called a turning point.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Go within and adapt yourself to the demands of the times – from the I Ching
Allow external matters to be what they are. Go within yourself to find how you can adapt to the demands of the time and relate with all that is going on around you. You will find that there are kindred spirits who are engaging the same natural attractions and who will follow your example. Engage them and still others will take notice and follow.
Rise in the morning…
“Rise in the morning, clean your self, exercise, and direct your mind to Infinity. Simple. But the mind knows. It is definitely aware of your effort and even the intentions of the effort. The mind is above time and space. It calculates the impact and consequence. The little act of sadhana will contain your mind and make your consciousness the ruler.” –Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)

Yogi Bhajan – Espanola, New Mexico
April 3,2001

Today: Refuse the fruit offered by the serpent
Oppressors are attempting to seize power, violently, if necessary. It is a situation of which many people are totally unaware. When fruit offered by the serpent is refused, the snake swallows its own tail and the light is restored. The main point is to remain grounded in reality and develop intuition so that subterfuge can be recognized and the damage it causes be avoided. There is nothing to be done other than to be aware and to look into one’s personal blind spots using the tools that we have been given.
The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero…
“The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero, in his shuniya. In shuniya you become zero, you reduce everything to nothing: “I am nothing. Everything is nothing. There’s nothing to be nothing.” The moment you become that, then everything radiates from you.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Accept rewards for your deeds
Accept rewards for your deeds, whether from on high or from the humble whom you have helped to elevate. Whether it is what you expected or needed, allow them to feel that they have repaid you. Keep an attitude of gratitude. Further the expansion and clarity of your purest intentions.

If you cannot practice shuniya…
“If you cannot practice shuniya, you cannot be a teacher of Kundalini Yoga. Shuniya means zero. The moment you become zero, then all powers will prevail through you.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: You are the change – from the I Ching
You are the change that is called for. Read the Signs of the Times* and make the Season apparent to all. Report the real abuse of power and oppression of the small by the powerful. You must rely on a strong personal foundation. Trust what you know because you will have to bring about this necessary change alone. You cannot count on support among your peers, so you must summon the courage to move in the face of opposition. Then you will be believed.

On Oneness and Division – Yogi Bhajan
You know each other, because you were all born in the same time and space as a batch of the third millennium. No matter where we live—we have all come to the planet Earth. You know that you are here. Do you accept that everyone knows everyone? Do you ever go up to someone and say “Hi, you are here, I am here!” without knowing the person’s name? Whenever dealing with people, remember you are here along with everyone else all of the time.

Today: Day of Reckoning – from the I Ching
Shock and thunder from the heavens bring a reckoning and justice. They can bring distraction from reflection and clarity of vision to the point of insanity. The best thing is to keep still until composure and clarity are restored. If you can give distance to the sources of agitation, you can remain free of mistakes and injury though you may be derided by those around you. Then you will be passed over as justice has its due.
Ego is the very capacity to be finite…
“Ego is the very capacity to be finite. You say, “I am. These are my things. This is my life. Nobody can tell me anything. I’ll do whatever I want to do.” In the end it confines you tremendously and tragically. You give no attention to your destiny and lose perspective.
