Understand Yourself Once And For All, And Be Free!
Understand Yourself Once and for All, and Be Free!
Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan
July 24, 1994
This is the path of the exalted self, of God and Guru. Touch yourself. Dive in. Find your depth. See if you have any. If you cannot be awakened to experience, get up at the ambrosial hour in your loneliness. Talk to your soul. Feel it. If all that doesn't work, come to the gate of the Guru, and surrender, It is not life that matters; it is the courage you bring to it. This is a path of courage. Surge in courage and urge to the God, make me free and make me be with you and you be with me and I dwell in that God and God dwells within me. This is Panth Khalsa. This is the purity and piety of the man and God together in one living being. It is not the domain of titles, virtues, wealth and power. God gave us the right to give us the ruler ship. He gave us that power. There is no ruler ship other than ruling yourself. Self rule is self freedom. This is the exalted way of life.
You will never be weak and poor. You will always be great and pure if you rule yourself. The joy of self rule, the self command and self is so humongous, so great, God seeks such people's audience. We are the inborn grown sons and daughters of the God, and we shall live that way and die that way. It is our time and spirit which matters. We have worshipped the true Guru in our true heart and our head has bowed to it. In that very truth, we have gone beyond the actions and reactions and the smallness and the allness has all been found in us. That is Panth Khalsa.
We don't even care if death exists. It exists because life exists. Our life is part of death and death is part of life and we fully understand there is a day and night. We do not put our soul in bondage We do not sell our consciousness. We will not betray our intelligence. We are here and hereafter. Nobody in the world will ask you to become Sikhs. We never became Sikhs because somebody gave us the knowledge. We are the knowledge. We have understood ajoonee, saibhang. We will never come and go, and we are by ourselves, Gurprasaad, because God loved us, Guru loved us, so we became what we are. We are not individuality, class, we are the miracle. We are the Panth Khalsa.
