“All your soul is promised by God is one chance. When the soul took the body and saw the karma and the domain, and it was coming to the planet Earth for practice, the soul resisted. He said, “No, I’m not going.” God said, “Why? What’s the problem? It’s a test. Don’t you want to pass it?” He said, “I want to pass it, but I don’t have the tools.” So God gave the mind. She said, “What is this damn thing?” He said, “Well, this is something. Like a swing, it can take you towards me or away from me 180 degrees. Take it, but be its master.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “It’s great to have and not to have—that’s the principle. ” Yogi Bhajan
“It’s great to have and not to have—that’s the principle. Poverty is a curse. You have to have. But have to have, and then not to have, is tiaagaa, renunciation, abandonment. To have the body and not to have the body, and become humble into shuniaa, zero, to become nobody, is the highest body. You become the highest being. So the rules are very simple.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Life is a lie if you do not find the internal truth. Life is a tragedy if you only find the external truth.” Yogi Bhajan
“Life is a lie if you do not find the internal truth. Life is a tragedy if you only find the external truth. Life is an absolute loss if you do not live to your status as a human, or your reality status or your religious status, whatever you want to call it. You can get a status, but you have to live it, and you have to experience it.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “The idea is to switch it on. You switch it on with Hatha Yoga, so switch it on with any yoga, go ahead. ” Yogi Bhajan
“The idea is not what wiring is and what electricity is running through it, or what the light bulbs are. The idea is to switch it on. You switch it on with Hatha Yoga, so switch it on with any yoga, go ahead. We are not asking you to practice Kundalini Yoga. But Kundalini Yoga is for householders, people who are married, and have a life with family, children. It’s a scientific, time-saving device.
In just a few minutes you can be whatever you want to be.” Yogi Bhajan

“The hammer and chisel have to carve the stone. If the stone can carve the chisel, there’s no need of a chisel. Then the stone is the chisel. If a teacher depends upon the student, he’s not a teacher to begin with. Then it’s a commercial situation.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “Whatever you are, you’re a piece of garbage if you have not awakened your own dormant power to become totally excellent.” – Yogi Bhajan
“I hope you fully understand. If you see you are rich, you are rich. If you see you are poor, you are poor. If you see you are great, you are great. If you see you are not, you are not. If you are a pimp and a prostitute, bless you. And if you are very saintly and divine and humble and great, fine. Whatever you are, you’re a piece of garbage if you have not awakened your own dormant power to become totally excellent. By rowing a boat you can reach the ocean, but you will never know the power of swimming through it. That is what it is.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “The one who practices Kundalini Yoga commands the five tattvas, the three gunas, the seven chakras, and all 108 elements in the universe” – Yogi Bhajan
“Kundalini Yoga is not a yoga for everybody or anybody. The one who practices Kundalini Yoga commands the five tattvas, the three gunas, the seven chakras, and all 108 elements in the universe, including a conscious creation of the Creator. Let’s be clear about it. Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. Religions came out of it. Kundalini Yoga is not a fad, and it’s not a cult. It’s a practice of experience of a person’s own excellence which is dormant and which is awakened.” Yogi Bhajan

“I am not, folks, tying a turban because I’m a Sikh, and I’m not tying a turban because I’m running a boutique business. Not at all. I’m not teaching a religion, minus reality. I’m a scientist. I came to these United States to be in the United States. I am not seeking students. I don’t initiate. But I am obligated. Somebody touched me and taught me. I’m willing to touch somebody.” Yogi Bhajan

“You must understand. Ten percent of you is projection and ten percent of you is object and subject. You can’t be more than that. There’s no way. Eighty percent is unknown. The idea of intuition is not to not know. The idea of the development of intuition is that you have to know that eighty percent. You are missing eighty percent.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “So the most insane person has some sanity somewhere, and the most sane person has the equivalent insanity somewhere. ” – Yogi Bhajan
“So the most insane person has some sanity somewhere, and the most sane person has the equivalent insanity somewhere. But the sanity or insanity doesn’t matter. The question is: Do you have the width to open up, to accommodate, to listen, to understand, from another point of view, so you may not end up screwing up the whole thing? Do you have a little one minute of patience?” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Your faculty of projection with your personal reverence will win all for you” – Yogi Bhajan

Today: “Suppose you have enough breath of life at the rate of one breath for one year” – Yogi Bhajan
“Suppose you have enough breath of life at the rate of one breath for one year, so you take one breath a minute, you can live fifteen years. Suppose you have breath of life for one hundred years. At fifteen breaths a minute, at that rate, you can live 1500 years. That’s how yogis extend their life—by practicing one breath a minute. When you practice one breath a minute, then you become Pavan Guru— you become the light and knowledge of the prana, and then you know the universe, the universe knows you.”
