“A Teacher is not a public relations package—very charming, very beautiful, very marvelous, very gracious, very kind, very sweet. That’s an angel, not a Teacher. Very passionate, very loving, very darling, very attractive, very knowing—that may be a professor, not a Teacher. Very knowledgeable, very sharing, very high-grade knowing, absolutely, amazingly all the best there is. That may be a sage, a wise sage, a saint—not a Teacher.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation: The Neutral Mind

“You have no sensitivity that your soul shall leave in the subtle body, and that your subtle body is as sophisticated as anything in the universe can be. So unless you produce in yourself elegance, grace, sophisticatedness in your mind, manners, and attitude, and unless you come from that Infinite altitude, and ascend to that altitude, you cannot descend in love. The higher is your being, the deeper is the love.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation: NM0410 Ek Ong Kar

“Spiritual means me within me is infinite, and me within me as infinite shall relate, experience, express, and project Infinity.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation: Karma & Dharma

“You have soul mates: your intellect, consciousness, subconscious, unconscious, you have your ten bodies. They are the mates of your soul; they come with the soul. So in your soul-mate system, you have bodies and you have aspects of your mind all together. Then you have a soul-mate which is called time and space and longitude and latitude. It’s a mating season of you and your self. Then you take the altitude and attitude to keep all these sixteen horses going, so you can carry your carriage.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation

“I don’t care whether people say I am a good Teacher or a bad Teacher, I’m a right Teacher or a wrong Teacher, as long as I know there are teachings, and I am carrying and sharing them as they are. In the purity of the teachings lies the purity of the Teacher. There’s no other rule. You have the right to joke. You can add astrology, astronomy, whatever you want to talk about. But you know, at the time that you say, “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo,“ you are not an astrologer.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation

“There’s no good and bad. There’s no right and wrong. There’s no high and low. A yogi is a person whom the opposite polarities do not affect—he recognizes there are polarities.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation

“All these faculties as a Teacher will come to you, because you will also understand what the desire is, what the prayer is, and what the fulfillment is. They’re asking you to augment. Money is not a situation. Money is a medium.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“A Teacher is not judged by his popularity, his richness, his money, his knowledge, his essence. A Teacher is judged by his character. If under all temptations he can fly through, then he knows how to fly.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“When you teach, you must teach with confrontation, not by stimulation. When you teach by stimulation, doubts keep floating. But when you teach by confrontation, it is an either/or situation. In that situation at least doubt is dispelled. That’s the advantage of confrontation.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“You know, the only thing that goes wrong with us is that we forget. Look at the word “forget.” “For-get. What do you mean by “get”? And what do you mean by “for”? “For” means “to.” “To get.” So you forget that Giveth is Giveth, and has been given. So, “to get” you “forget” you are divine. I’m not joking. Do you understand why you forget? What for? To get what? What happens when you are “to get?” You forget that you are getting that which you are getting, not what God is giving you. When God gives you something, you won’t forget.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

Man and his manners are a very basic situation which we must understand. We must look at things the way God is looking at things. Our purity lies in our originality. Our intuition lies in our innocence. Somebody is telling you, or you are telling yourself (mostly you are telling yourself), that you are wrong this ck home victorious.” Yogi Bhajan
missing, you are handicapped. That’s the gist of my Ph.D. on the psychology of communication. Regardless of what we understand or do not understand, we are what we speak. That’s how we are known.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“Poke, provoke, confront, and elevate. That is how your life must be. If one aspect of these four is missing, you are handicapped. That’s the gist of my Ph.D. on the psychology of communication. Regardless of what we understand or do not understand, we are what we speak. That’s how we are known.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“Nobody will give you anything. You have to learn the art and science of giving yourself your own excellence. That’s the purpose of life. Life is a lie if the truth is not found. Prayer is the power for which you must reach your excellence.” Yogi Bhajan

 

Meditation

“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

Meditation

“It’s the time to be. Do not juggle with time and space. Time and space is of the Earth, it doesn’t belong to the Heavens.” Yogi Bhajan

Meditation

“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
