“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: “Keep still. Do not talk too much. You will know when it is time to move and proceed with caution and deliberation. ” – From the I Ching

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

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
