“In any exercise which touches the mind, a person starts getting upset in exactly two and half minutes. That’s the rule of thumb. The mind doesn’t want to be caught. It wants to swing. But there are some people like us who feel that it’s hard work to control the mind, but once we control the mind, then we can control the whole world.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “Now you will ask me if a mind can be controlled. Yes. Not only can your mind be controlled, your life can be controlled.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Now you will ask me if a mind can be controlled. Yes. Not only can your mind be controlled, your life can be controlled. A situation can be controlled. Sometime you get into very, very, very ugly situation. If you have the practice to switch your breath to the left nostril you will get out of it in two seconds. The moment you start breathing with your left nostril, your elementary self will come in play. Moment your elementary self comes in play, your totality of the mind becomes one unit to confirm and it puts the radiance shield of your body and you will immediately become very pleasant and positive rather than angry and reactive. Some people train themselves to breathe through any nostril they choose. But many of you have not practiced that, and therefore you use your hand to close your right nostril. Long, deep breathing through the left nostril is good for the heart and good for the health. It will calm you down.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Mind is a link between Infinity and you.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Mind is a link between Infinity and you. When the soul got the body, the soul asked God, ‘What is my link with you, my Lord?’ And God said, ‘Mind.’ Mind can take you into any thought, beyond thought, and unto Infinity. Mind can take you into any dungeon, any pit, and any negativity. Mind has no limit in its own self. But mind is your servant. If the mind becomes your master, you don’t have a chance. It is very essential in yoga that we know our own mind.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “In the spiritual world we are responsible to take the person towards Infinity. ” – Yogi Bhajan
“In the spiritual world we are responsible to take the person towards Infinity. We are responsible to the whole self and to the destiny in the person. That is why we are direct. Our guidance may take one minute or many hours. That is why we poke, provoke, confront, and elevate. We must speak in a way that confronts you with your self and that adjusts the relationship to your mind based on your reality, identity, and basic nature.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “If you feel you can’t believe anybody or anything, fine. Don’t. Instead believe in yourself.” – Yogi Bhajan
“If you feel you can’t believe anybody or anything, fine. Don’t. Instead believe in yourself. Wake up and go deeply in your self. Master the mind. Get to the essence and process of your own life. Stop playing games. If you find I am wrong in my statements, then try to be right and exalt, elevate, and take care of yourself.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “In meditation you begin to realize that there is a world of you.” – Yogi Bhajan
“In meditation you begin to realize that there is a world of you. There is a world of your mind, and a world of you. In the world of you, in your basic elementary situation, in your identity, your mind is your servant not your master. That is why we do Kundalini Yoga. That is why we do sadhana.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “You must understand, what you call living is just the continual vibration of breath coming in and out” – Yogi Bhajan
“You must understand, what you call living is just the continual vibration of breath coming in and out. Just delay it either way and intellect must immediately stop giving thoughts. Moment the link of thought wave will stop, you won’t perceive emotion… so simple. It doesn’t take much for you to work on that. Simply you should be conscious of the breath.” Yogi Bhajan
Today: “Inhale deep and hold the breath to your capacity, then exhale and inhale again and hold.” – Yogi Bhajan
“Inhale deep and hold the breath to your capacity, then exhale and inhale again and hold. All that is required to get rid of the urge to smoke is to repeat this breath seven to fifteen times a day for seven to fifteen days. Within that period of time you will make the body’s metabolism go through the change to substitute oxygen in place of nicotine. You can also eliminate the stress that was formerly removed by smoking by putting a few raisins in your mouth and chewing them. The best way to chew raisins is to crush them with your teeth and paste them on your upper palate, and then suck on them.” Yogi Bhajan

“When you feel very weak and you feel like having a bourbon on the rocks or black tea or Coke, whatever, forget about the commercialization. Let’s talk about what you can substitute for it by yourself. Breathe and hold. If you know Breath of Fire you are lucky, but you look odd doing it in the market… so breathe in, hold as long as comfortable, and breathe out. Oxygen will substitute for the drug and you will be out of it. How many breaths does it take? Seven. If you can inhale and hold for seven breaths, your oxygen will be complete in your circulating blood, and you shall not need what you are longing to have.” Yogi Bhajan

“Any time you do not have the answer for something —anything —it doesn’t matter what the question is —hold the breath in. The moment you hold the breath in, the body will automatically computerize to survive, and your question is heard with it. It will give you the answer. This is because the breath of life is life itself and everything is a facet of life. There is nothing beyond that.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “The first faculty of a Teacher is to identify to one’s self that one is a Teacher.” – Yogi Bhajan
“The first faculty of a Teacher is to identify to one’s self that one is a Teacher. Then one must identify to the whole world that one is a Teacher. Third, one should know there’s nothing else but a teacher. Those three things are essential. Let yourself know once and for all that you are a Teacher. Let the whole world know once and for all that you are Teacher. Less than this you are phony, you are a ruthless liar, you are good for nothing, you are a fake, and you have no reality whatsoever. I don’t want to be more abusive than this, but if you can add something, it’s fine.” Yogi Bhajan
