I am speaking to you today on the basic fundamental scope of

prosperity. Sikh Dharma tells us something very clear and honest and that is.

'Kaal Khaaye Kujathuday, Nanak Sach Pehchaaney Sey.'

You work hard and then you earn and then you share, vand chakna, then you give to
somebody and that's the way you know the truth because God is everything, God is all
and you are small and God does it in a very elaborate way and you do it in a small way.
People who do not do small way is very simple. There is a saying that if you do not walk
to Guru's house you may end up be walking to a hospital one day proportionately. I can
give you my own story.

I worked harder and I lost all my balance when Golden Temple was attacked, correct
and don't you see me sick, I mean, if can happen to a yogi who are you, you don't even
have a chance. This happens to a man who have years and years and years of
discipline, this happens to a man who is supposed to be liberated, this happens to a
man who is supposed to be a accomplished.

There is always one Mahan Tantric in the whole world, God knows who will be crowned
after me but still I am sick, I am not well, I am just terribly handicapped but still if I can
teach a class I can elevate to ecstasy. Still I meditate and I understand and I drink the
nectar of that what people talk about but cause has a effect, you cannot totally deny the
fact that I caused a cause, I understand and I am paying the price for it.

Once a while I go and teach the class, just to let you know I am a teacher because you
all forgot about it how it used to be. Now my apologies to the Indian Sikhs and their
limited concept, I am apologizing in advance, because I know they are going to
misunderstand what I am going to say and they are going to say it is sacrilegious but let
them go to their own heavens, what do I care? My job is not to teach Sikh Dharma in
Indian style, my job is to teach Dharma in Guru's style. And I am sitting in America and I
am telling Americans two things; one is very holy, one is little less holy.

There are two caricatures; one is celebrating its birthday, sixtieth birthday, it's called
Mickey mouse, no, no don't laugh, the Mickey mouse has a empire, it's called Walt
Disney's Mickey mouse empire, it's a caricature, is that true and the other caricature
which is, which is coming in few days is Santa Claus. Mickey mouse was born out of
frustration. Mickey mouse frustration was that they wanted a caricature after twenty-
ninth black Monday to give people health. Mickey mouse and that duck and whole thing
did.. why Mickey mouse worked, because Mickey mouse started setting a caricature
stories and brought laughter to people. Character is a beautiful thing, it's a great thing
but character must develop a caricature which must represent that character; then
people trust. Everybody trust Mickey mouse with a smile; now this little mouse, Lord
Ganesha's ride is Mouse, it's all Indian, it's all the basic human philosophy.

You will find Lord Ganesha which eighty million whatever these Hindus in India and all
over the world worship, has a ride called rat. Now how a big elephant head can ride on
a mouse, it's a caricature because Lord Ganesha represents happiness and mouse
represent to dig hole in anything which cannot be diggable, so it means mouse can
make an hole in something where.. It means happiness can go where there is no
chance, that's what the caricature represents, otherwise once somebody was having a
Lord Ganesha and he said, "I want this ele..." the little child, "I want this elephant God
but I don't want that mouse."

And I was joking there standingly. I said, "Mouse goes with this elephant, they both are
twined into, because it's a caricature."

The way to make a picture, chitra is a caricature, to remember, to remind, to know, you
do not live by body, you live by memory. Guru Nanak is a character but its caricature is
divine. Guru Gobind Singh is a character but his caricature is imperial, imperial divine.
Raj Yog. Guru Ram Das is a character but its caricature is absolute, uplifting
radiance. Guru Amar Das is a character, is caricature, is service unto Infinity. That's
why the body was old, the water pot was heavy, the journey was miles.

God get birth in a character called Avatar and Avatar goes thorough the hell and heaven
of everything to create a caricature. Success is not in character, nobody succeeds by a
character, that's a misunderstanding.

They say if wealth is lost nothing is lost, if health is lost something is lost, if character is
lost then everything is lost. I don't agree with that. I agree that if a man has a character
and he does not create a caricature, then he is lost. Trust is called goodwill. God will
can only be injected or executed or given through goodwill. God will has been thrusted
by sword, has been thrusted by manipulation, thrusted by control, it has not been
administered with love and God is love. We have killed more people in the name of
religion and we have killed more people and lied to more people in the name of religion
because we use reality to consolidate power. Look at the Gurdwaras here what is
happening, they are beating each other, breaking each other arms and hitting at each
other. Why the Guru's house why the Sikhs go there and fight, because they want
power. To have power they have to have a group, they have to have group, they have
to show, show off, they show off as to confrontation, confrontation sometime become
violent, that's the caricature.

Why you don't fight here? You don't fight here because here you come to learn
blessing Guru grace, it's a caricature being developed. Yes, one day you may fight here
but you know the consequences; you will be out before you can even spell word o u t,
you know what I mean? And it's not that I am alive, no after me, anybody who will
create a ruckus in any Guru's place should be disregarded immediately and should be
taken out immediately. Guru's house is for reverence, not for ruckus, that's the law we
are going to proceed on. Guru's house is for reverence, it is not for ruckus. We are
grateful to Indian Sikhs and to their Gurdwaras we have learned what a ruckus is and
how much damage it can do. You know what ruckus is? It won't let you move, it won't let
you achieve, it won't let you do anything. They threw us out, we are the sons and
daughters of this land, they went to the court to threw us out. New York court will stand
as a witness to the fact in the history of SikhDharma, they went to the court saying that
these American are not Sikhs.

And the court said, "These are the sons and daughter of the land, they are better Sikhs
than those who have filed the application."

We acted as Sikh, we did not sue them back for damages, we walked out of those
Gurdwaras because Guru's house is that where Guru presides, not a person. So these
are places of reverences.

What I am telling you is, let us start with a smallest thing on the world called Mickey
mouse. Mickey mouse came out of the frustration. Walt Disney sat down one day
drawing something and he drew five, six, seven caricatureand he said, "My God, I am
running a rat race, I am not making a sense."

Moment the word rat race came before him, he started drawing a rat and gave it a
happiness and gave it a big ears soit's listening, making a tip nose that it's seen, that's
what all the yogi do.

So he gave it a caricature and told everybody to give them a smile, so Mickey mouse
started talking which making people laugh in the period of extreme depression. What
Mickey mouse got out of it? An empire.

Actually I tell you, something happened in my life which I will never forget. There used
to be a singer student of mine called Ritchie, he was rebel and one day we were going
to, in this Colorado this small mountain town, Aspen and we took that there is a pass
through which you go through of the height of it, it was snow, the pass should have
been closed and we should have been returned but luckily there was nobody I think
they thought it is closed by will of and we thought it's open. So by that mistake we
started going in the car through that pass. When we reached the (?), the car slipped; car
slipped so bad that it went on the top all the way to the other side where drop was
couple thousand feet and it went back and forth and back and forth and everybody in
the car screamed minus me. I sat down and I kept my eyes closed and I was there,
finally it happened again.

And I said, "Please don't cry, say Wahe Guru, we will make it."

Somehow we made it and I turned around, when we are all happy you know we come
away out of it. I said, "You guys would have done more damage than anything. What
kind of passenger you are, you were yelling and screaming and you were trying to
inside push the car out and Guru was pushing it back to the road." I said, "I saw I told
you Guru will take care of us and you were just making the driver more confused, more
nervous yelling and screaming in the car, tear up the eardrums for nothing."

That Ritchie told me something which I still remember, I can't forget it.
He said, "Yogi Ji, please don't blame us, we are the offspring looking, watching and
being with Mickey mouse and you have been grown up with Lord Shiva who has snake
around his neck, around his arm and he sits and meditate, doesn't move."

I said, "That is your imagination, our is a Mickey mouse we jump on the first thing we
can feel understand."

So Mickey mouse is not away from 3HO, it started with us day one.

(Students' laughter)

In sixty years it is celebrating its empire, celebration, its empire is celebrating its
birthday, it was not Walt Disney's birthday, it was Mickey mouse birthday, sixtieth
birthday, celebrated all over the world by children.

So this guy lives because now it is a caricature of happiness, let us cut it short to the
extent in the Browns in New York area this designer thought there should be something
to sell clothes heavily near Christmas. Now how can American think of a reindeer and
all that stuff? So this Russian guy who used to celebrate St. Nicholas birthday built up a
character of Santa Claus, this becomes Santa Claus from a saint of cause, cause was
to sell.

(Students' laughter)

And it all got... There is no such thing as Santa Claus, doesn't exist, never was, never
is, never will be, it all happened on a piece of paper. Now can you get out of it today, no,
it brings on reindeers, it got through the chimneys, it filled up the socks, it pulls the
socks through, ever that happens, now we all do it. It means for three months of winter
we become direct sales persons of Santa Claus, so everybody, every Sikh, Muslim,
Christian, Hindu, Jew, fighting, nonfighting, even two fighting nations cause a peace.
Can you believe how Santa Claus is so powerful? Do you have any idea? Did he ever
live? No; where it got born, on a piece of paper. What is his caricature? Giving, fulfill
wishes, his caricature is not that it comes on a reindeer and bring socks and
manufacture on north pole.

How many people live on north pole? You know what a big lie it is, he lives in a north
pole, he flies through reindeer which cannot even walk and he has a van which slips
through every chimney and he has a bag on.. but look what they did to it. They gave
him a beautiful white beard and cone hat. Now listen this, you try to see it with a point of
view how it strikes us. That white beard where you can't see his lips and even a
American who shaves everyday who want to act as a Santa Claus he has to wear that
miserable thing on his face.

(Students' laughter)

Which God gave us anyway. You know, every man who is handicapped spiritually
doesn't have beard. Do you know that? A person will fool around, a male will fool
around with his beard for shortage of his relationship proportionate to his spirit.

Tagore, which was actually a Takur, English (?) you know, they switch everything, he is
called Tagore there is no such thing as Tagore his caste was Takur, so Mister Takur,
mister Takur became Mister Tagore, Kalighat, Kalighat became Calcutta, Kali, Lord
Kali's, Ghat means around the river, you have a place where they will worship it and (?)
to the (?), it was called Kali Ghat, so English couldn't pronounce it they start
pronouncing it as Calcutta, that's how Calcutta came to existence and that is Rabindra
Nath Takur, Rabindra Nath Takur, Takur is means God, Thu Mara(Mera) Takur
Maa(Main) Tara(Tera) Raisa(Rasia), Takur means God, so their caste is very, they are
divine people Takur, that's how their caste is, instead of Takur they became Tagore.

When from England he came to India and he became enlightened somebody asked him
a question. He said, he was a British. He said, "Mister Tagore, when you realize God,
you said, you realized God coming from England to India, what you first thing did, first
act."

He said, "I threw away my shaving kit into the ocean."

So they gave a character and a caricature to, to Christmas, they wanted a sale for
Christmas and they wanted somebody to sell it and that sale is all over the world today
because there is a caricature.

Now with absolute hand folded apologies to Indian Sikhs the custodian of Guru's
teaching whether they know it or not Guru Gobind Singh also came as a character and
a caricature. We were useless, we were coward, we were hopeless and we were
depressed and he gave us courage, radiance, nobility and grace.

People ask me what will happen to Sikh Dharma?

And I tell them it's going to grow manifolds. They do not know what I am talking about,
they think perhaps out of my ego because I think I am a Sikh leader I am talking about,
this is not true. I was never a leader, neither I want to be a leader, I am, I am, leader has
to do something, I have to nothing. To call me a leader call me a holy man, call me a
saint, call me a idiot, call me anything you want, call me names and call me praise, you
do not know me, neither you will. I have to do my job, I have a caricature to represent
that there is no need of crime, there is no need being poor, there is no need being sad,
follow what Guru Gobind Singh said and did. You will come out of all the dirt of the
world. It worked then, it will work now.

You tell me what to do, I tell you what to do and learn from your children
songs. Bana Bana I love you, Bana Bana Wahe Guru. When children sing it you
tolerate, one Indian Sikh one day got so mad, he said, "Is Bana Wahe Guru."

I said, "Those who represent Wahe Guru they wear Bana, those who don't they don't."

"You are separating the American Sikhs from us."

I said, "You separate yourself the day you took them to the court." I said, "You separate
yourself from me when you took away, took me to the court. You separate yourself and
you spend seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to take me to the court and I came
walking, talking to you, don't fight with me. I will fight to death, normally I don't want to
fight." Don't separate the American Sikh, African Sikh, Ugandan Sikh, Nairobi's, now
can you Sikhs have been divided now, now I am learning things, by cities, Los Angeles
Sikh, New York Sikh, Denmark Sikh, what is going on? It's a joke, it's a joke. Sikh is of
the Guru and now Sikhs belong to the town, villages and cities, they don't belong to
theGuru.
So we have to built a caricature of prosperity and what is that which give you prosperity.
What give Mickey mouse the empire and what gives Santa Claus the entire universe to
be his servants and what can give Sikhs today the universe, the world. Sikh can get one
thing too and that is to heal people of spiritual, mental and physical ailments. How that
can happen? Hail Guru Ram Das and heal people, Lord works in many mysterious
ways. If there is any miracle, if there is any miracle which you want, that's
what Guru Ram Das stand for, Dhan Dhan, great, great is Guru Ram Das,

'Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru, jinn siriya taney(tinney) savariya, puri huyi karamat, aap
sarjan harey tariya.'

sGreat, great is Guru Ram Das, those who worshipped and those who decorated
themself in it; savariya; savariya is when you clean it out you put it together, this doctor
Dayal Singh when we get any Siri Sahib we tell him, Enu savar dey you know, clean it
out, means bring it to its reality. Jinn siriya taney savariya-those who worshipped him,
he clean them up, tinney savariya, puri huyi karamat-a miracle happened, complete and
perfect. Now miracle is something which happens for which there is no answer, there is
no psychological, physical, chemical reply to it.

Now somebody tell me that I came and spread Sikh Dharma because I was a yogi.

Some tell me because Guru Ram Das blessed me, somebody tell me because I know
very well, I talk good, there are so many stupid things. I did what I was asked to do and I
did it what he told me do, he did it and I did it. Why not a simple thing is being made so
complicated?

Do you know when I came in this great United States I was friend of a great Sikh to find
a picture ofGuru Nanak, I had to go to university library, take a book on Sikh Dharma,
bring it released, see the picture, told one woman, she took a piece of cloth and she
made it on that and that must be somewhere in the archives even today. They asked
me, "Why it is essential?"

I said, "I got to hang something on the wall to let people understand
what Guru Nanak is."

First you hear something, then you want to see something, then you want to experience
something. You saw, you heard something Sat Nam, you wanted to see where
comes Sat Nam and then you experience something what Sat Nam is and that is what it
is. Some of you are cooked, some of you are half cooked, some you are quarter
cooked, some you are uncooked but you all into Sat Nam, you are afraid to
be Sat Nam. Sat means truth, Nam means the identity, noun, noun is the name of
person, place or a thing. True identity of a person is Sat Nam and what is true identity-
caricature; which is unmistakably beyond logic, reason and existence can't be trusted.

Something else happened in America, Beatles, they came here, they become a
caricature of the sixties, they have split, one is died, others are living, they are all gone
but when you say word Beatles, real beetles are there in the earth too, God created
beetles too but these Beatles have overtaken those beetle.

One time one of them said, he is more, they are more popular than Jesus Christ, got to
their head. They tried to become spiritual, they couldn't, they wanted to.
You may be thinking that you look funny and lot of people are there to make you feel
funny but Mickey mouse never felt funny.

(Students' laughter)

Santa Claus never felt funny.

I was talking to somebody yesterday. I said, "You have two words to learn, one is called
Daisy which is the name of a flower, you know Daisy and other is crazy, which is the
acting of a person."

Those who believe to be Daisy should not be crazy, those who are crazy they will never
be Daisy, Daisy everybody wants, everybody wants a Daisy flower, who wants crazy,
nobody.

People act crazy for one thing; it is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism,
all mistake we create for one thing, to test it out whether we are loved or not and that is
the biggest mistake a man can create. You can never test love, you can never measure.
That's what yogis did, that is whatswamis did, that's what saint did, that's what these
Avatar did, they wanted to measure God,

'Jisath jor karvickey soye, Nanak utham neech na koye.'

It's not in an power.

"Ant naa siftee kahan naa ant."

God is be-anth, God is beyond limits.

The mistake is simple; man commits mistake, error to find out he is loved or rejected, he
is accept a test, it is called self destructive test, one puts on the line in destruction by
stupidity to find out the other person can see beyond stupidity, that person is still alive or
not, we all do it. In America we do it in ninety-nine percent cases and this behavior
makes us phobic and schizophrenic and there are so many names the psychology and
psychiatry has for it to charge you the rate according to your acting. There is some
acting for which you are paid, there is some acting for which you pay.

Ronald Reagan sat in his beautiful cabinet meeting and he snored and he slept, nobody
remembers that, very popular president, they couldn't defeat him, they tried everything.
You know why? He become a caricature of inspired America's strength, he became a
power image for us, he wrote more hot checks than we can, you pay between twenty-
seven or twenty-nine cents per dollar in national debt interest, it's more than twenty-five
percent, that I know exactly. A nation which has a debt on which there is a interest of
twenty-five percent, can you believe how long we can live? Nobody listen to it. Poor
Dukakis, he was crying at the top of the voice, 'I will balance the budget, I have done it
for ten years, I will do it for you.'

We said, "Go to Massachusetts, we don't want you."

We don't want to balance budgets, tell us good things, tell us great things. He is saying
you are bankrupt, you are corrupt and bankrupt.
We said, "We don't want to listen. We want to listen how great we are, when we will
attack Grenada again and win it, that's what we want to know."

That little island which even through a (?) plane you can't find where it is, that's how big
it is and we send American army to invade it. We took off from Great Britain to attack
Libya. You know why we do those, why we did those things-show off; great. A
caricature of Reagan was not Reagan, Reagan and Nancy was a national current which
America got it after sixties to react against that that we are superior, we are royal, we
are powerful. It was against our total declaration, we are conscious, we are
independent, we are human rightist and all that and just see the difference right before
your eyes and now there is a affective tragedy which we have to face, that little Bush,
the president.

(Students' laughter)

He is not yet installed in the White House and they are ask him to decide how you are
going to pay the interest. Isn't that is what happens to you when you go to a bank, they
say, hey mister, you have got that much loan and that much credit (?) on your house
and you are asking more money, how you are going to pay the past, what is your
collateral.

Can you believe a mighty country like America, its president is being asked how you are
going to pay and stop fooling around. He cannot say Reagan did it because he won on
that line, I'll do exactly what Reagan did. Reagan wrote hot checks of trillion and a
trillion, Bush cannot write anymore, that pen is broken, that paper has gone.

Somebody was talking to me outside and he said, "Sir, this person."

I said, "You are trying to talk to me about a fish, don't try fish, the pond in which fish live
is going to dry."

Take life as it is. So what the Sikhs have to do, you, all of you who call yourself Sikh, for
prosperity, for (?) empire you want to built, you have to, you can learn from Mickey
mouse, you can learn from Santa Claus, you didn't, you decided to learn from your
father, Guru Gobind Singh and GuruGobind Singh teaches something different than the
caricatures have taught, he taught living, giving and be royal about it.

Guru Gobind Singh has taught totally something different than all Avatars, all sages, all
human, all character and caricatures can produce. He produced the pure, he knew the
purity is worshipped, he call you Khalsa and he asked you to give him Amrit,
the Guru Gobind Rai who gave you Amritasked you for Amrit and you gave it to him. So
what he told us, we can be humble before what we create, you are not willing to accept
that. I know it's very difficult you to be humble before your own child, you corrupt, you
bring a innocent soul and then you live corrupt around it, you bring a innocent soul and
you live psychotic, neurotic around it, you didn't learn from Guru Gobind Singh.

Guru Gobind Singh said, "How rotten you may be or good you are, if you create
something superior it's good to humble."

And it is good to give. You know what he give?

'Inn sutrana ke sies se vaar deyo puth char, char muhe tho kya huva, jeevith kayi
hazar.'

Over the head of these sons of mine, I sacrifice four sons, if the four have died, what do
I care, millions are living.

That was Guru Gobind Singh. Give me the name of the mother who can go with
it. Guru Gobind Singh gave a caricature and gave life to it and character to it and it is
living and giving. That's why when we gave him five heads at the Baisakhi, he gave
us Bana, not Guru Mantra, that is why we sing today Bana Bana I love
you, Bana Bana Wahe Guru. Wahe Guru Guru Mantra was given to us later, it's a true
fact of history, Sikhs, Indian, African, German, English, all have to learn this, our
children have to learn this. That's why you go to a Indian house, you will find father has
a turban, mother has a chunni sometime, sometime not but the child is round headed.
Because a child should be given one plus in values and it should be given whether you
have value or you don't have value.

Guru Gobind Singh could not become Guru Gobind Singh, he asked the Khalsa, he first

created the Khalsa as Guru, he created the Khalsa as Guru, he took the head of five
people as Guru, he gave them the Bana and gave them Bhai Daya Singh, gave them
the name and after that Guru Gobind Rai asked them to give him what he gave them.
Now how many of you have those guts? First he gave them, then he asked them
Khalsa Ji now all you are five beloved of mine but now you have Guru's word, now you
are Guru's ward, now make me your disciple as a Guru, I asked you give me Amritnow
because I cannot become Guru Gobind Singh, I should not remain Guru Gobind Rai, I
asked you to baptize me and Guru Gobind Singh got baptized and
became Guru Gobind Singh being baptized and he got the Wahe Guru Mantra which he
got from Akal purak, which he gave to the Sikhs but from Guru Gobind Rai
to Guru Gobind Singh, Guru Gobind Singh has to ask the five to initiate, that's a
character Sikh has to do.

Sikh has to believe good or bad is all God's will and with goodwill he should serve the
God's will, that's what the Sikh is, that's a caricature. Sikh is a clean cut cleared
caricature. That's why the Indian children will not remain Sikhs in the foreign soils if the
Indians at this time do not Guru is everywhere, Guru is not only bound in a country,
nation or a part. All over the world Sikhs are just Sikhs, they are above clan, tribe,
nation, whole jazz, it doesn't fit in, in this. Among Sikh there is aGuru and Chela, then
chela becomes Guru, can you believe this joke? It looks like odd but this is a
realism. Guru take ask volunteers, never said, "You, you, you."

That's a very great blessing when a master does that.

Guru Gobind Singh in his personality was a character of a Guru and Grande master,

master Grande whatever you want to call him. He was practical, he was realistic, he
changed the entire trend, he didn't bend.

He said, "I don't care of your worldly mind, you sing in the song of the Khalsa."

I know many of you are with me and you hate me because many of you love me but
abuse me, many of you do not understand me at all and I don't mind, I know you don't
know me at all, forget about understanding and all this thing. What I tell you what I have
here for. I have not come here for to love you or hate you, I have not come here to be
with you or to leave you. I have come here to give you a message that your soul has a
chance...

Side B

To be whole, your soul has a chance to be whole, that's what I am. I am not asking you
to love me, I am not asking you to hate me, I am not asking you to listen to me, I am not
asking to deny me, that is your own Karma, that's your character. I am asking you to
understand me thoroughly well and openly well, that if you are wasting your time with
me, then you are wasting your time with me and if you are not wasting your time with
me, then you better understand who am I, I am just giving you a message that your soul
can experience the whole. That's all I am saying. Some will take more time, some will
take less time, some will never make it, some will deny it, some will accept it, that's a
matter of fate and destiny but those who want to travel the distance to destiny must
understand what Guru Gobind Singh stands for as a character and a caricature. If
Mickey mouse can have an empire, why not you? Are you not worth a Mickey mouse? If
Santa Claus can live in a subzero temperature in north pole and can make the reindeers
fly and walk into everybody's chimney in their privacy against human rights.

(Students' laughter)

And throw the sacks of gift through the chimney and they never get black, if all that is
believable, what is wrong with you who are alive, radiant and existing in God's image?
Don't hate people, love them. Give them what Guru Gobind Singh gave you, give them
what Guru Nanak gave you. You know, have a relationship, love Guru Ram Das and
love him good. I tell you and I tell you very honestly, I have loved lot of people, I have
tried to love lot of people, nothing happens right. Then betrayed and betrayed and
betrayed, that's all I have seen. To me A, A is just called A, B is betrayal, C they cast
me to death, D they did, I should be dead, my alphabet is very bitter, more bitter than
even you can spell it. I was betrayed by those who were supposed never to, I was
betrayed by those where scriptures says

'Putar, kuputar ho jandaney mape kamape naindey.'

I won't like to translate it, I was betrayed by those who were supposed to worship me
and love me, I was betrayed by those who were supposed to be by the will of God to be
stand by me, doesn't matter, my entire life is based on torture, betrayal, insult, abuse. A
is abuse, B is a betrayal, C is catastrophe, D is death, E is eliminate, my alphabet you
should never know. But I tell you with all this alphabet I am very happy, extremely
fulfilled and humorously contained. I have a Guru, I don't need anybody.

Some people ask me where you got educated, where you learned, who was this, who
was that, it's a waste of time. I wrote in my own poem out of sheer mercy and
love Guru Ram Das adopted me. I did say in my own pen, neither I read nor read, God
taught me everything and people after that poem do not believe they can read it, they
can understand it, they don't want to believe it. They still want to know where I got this. I
didn't get anywhere, I got when I had nothing. I reached a point of total being nothing.

I remember the day that I didn't have a blanket to be warm, I believed that day I saw it
when for seven days I had nothing to eat, I have a day when I walked in United States
without, without shoes in a snow of Canada and I know when my own relative put meat
in a vegetable dish so I cannot eat it next morning and I know when I came at night and
I had to sleep outside in a subzero temperature they will not open the door of my house
to me and I know when I became a janitor to clean a whole factory, so that I can do my
morning Sadhana and take bath because the house they told me three o'clock you get
up, do bath, you disturb our sleep.

When I was thrown out of my clothes, my possessions and my everything, Guru Ram

Das at that time stood by me. When my relatives looked at me and they started asking
what you have brought, what you will leave? How much money you make? I met
the swamis, the holy men, how many students and Ashram I have got. My dear folks,
my beloved one, I have seen all, top to bottom and I tell you something, they are worth
nothing. Neither they were, neither they are, nor they are going to be. One thing only
worked for me, my siriya and savariya, jinn siriya, taney(tinney) savariya with GuruRam
Das. You can hang me for this and you can worship me for this but fact is a fact, that's
why people who say I love you.

I say, "I love you too."

And I am pretty phony about it because I have got a good brain, I remember what they
love me for and people forget about that I see aura and I understand love has a
definitely color and aura and she is telling me she loves me, she doesn't have that color,
how can that be? Rose is a rose, you are not going to tell me bamboo stick and tell me
this bamboo stick is a rose, I mean that, not I am that stupid.

(Students' laughter)

People think I am more stupid than this, they think, they will give me a brick and tell me
it is a flower. I tell them today I just accept it because Guru says,

'Murkehy na na ulajiye.'

With insane person don't waste your time.

They give me a break, they say it's a flower.

I say, "okay."

But I pray, let God give him. I pray to my Guru at that moment, give him the power to
give me a flower. I don't pray to Guru Ram Das for everything, I say, Guru Ram
Das make these flowers of thine, so their fragrance can be all over the world, that's I do.
To me you are the flower children God gave to me, aren't you flower children. Am I not
the teacher of that Yug, that age, flower age? I know you forget. Greatest song we
sang, flowers in the rain, the best song, you should always sing it, it's peaceful, it is
tranquil and teach it to your children, they will love it, that's what we all are. We are
flower in the rain, we waited to be to born, we are born now, now we have a job to do;
take the fragrance all over the world, that's what we are. Take this fragrance all over the
world, take theGuru's word everywhere, that is,

'Kaal Khaaye Kujathuday, Nanak Sach Pehchaaney Sey.'

That is what you all have to do and that is a reality. Let us give life a caricature of a
person who lives to give, that's what Guru Gobind Singh did; he lived and he gave, saint
and a soldier, saint and a soldier, that is the caricature of a Sikh and Guru says in his
own words, Khalsa mayro satagur poora, Khalsa is true perfect Guru of
mine. Guru Gobind Singh does not.

You know, I hate those people, if I tell them this is, no no no no... ra ra ra
ra Wahe Guru Wahe GuruWahe Guru.... We can't do it, we can't, we can't. Oh God,
what is it? I mean, if I tell somebody to eat.

He said, " (?) no no no..."

What a nonsense, it's ridiculous.

Live with courage, die with more courage, you will never die, coward dies many times,
man of courage never dies, now how many people wants to kill me, name him. There is
no death, but a caricature of nature has been established.

Hey, I am a human being, forget about me, talk of Santa Claus, birth place (?),
permanent home north pole, riding reindeers, comes only through winter and makes
everybody rich. Sales, master of the sales. Those who want to learn sale, I am going to
tell CBB, learn from Santa Claus how to make sales. Never travels this Santa Claus but
does fill the gifts in the socks, you know what that means, symbolically? He travels to
give and he doesn't knock at your door, he comes through the chimney and his socks
never get dirty. A biggest caricature joke but it has lesson in it, biggest caricature joke,
Mickey mouse but there is a lesson in it, a greatest reality like Guru Gobind Singh which
has not only a lesson, but it has experience in it.

Therefore Sikh Dharma will never finish, it will never go away, it will never be a dead

religion, SikhDharma will never have a leader who wants to be a leader,
period. Sikh Dharma will not have a religious status who wants a
status. Sikh Dharma will have a leader which can carry the load and a status which can
serve the people community. I know I am not healthy, I know but I thought if I have few
breaths left, let me remind you how it used to be.

We used to have yoga classes in this, we used to be bombarded with that, we never got
afraid, we did it what we did; moment we got the money, we become worthwhile, we
had a yoga center separate and tomorrow we will have everything, we will have
everything. We are not afraid and shy who we are and we just don't want to offend
those who wants to attack us, we will believe in GuruGobind Singh, we let you attack
again us. You attacked us, we fought; for the sake of the Panth and the Guru, we didn't
react and what we are saying to you now is that you still want to fight with us, now this
time will meet you half way but we will not give up what we are doing.

We have to understand our life is not ours, it is given to us to experience, to live, to give,
that's why I hail to Guru Ram Das and that's why I ask you, hail Guru Ram Das and
walk out and spread out and heal, don't become small, become all, all can contain
small, small cannot contain all, part cannot be a whole, it is geometry, part cannot be
whole, whole can have all the parts, it's a geometry, it's mathematics.

"Akhree naam akhree saalaah."

"Akhree gi-aan geet gun gaah."

It's all figured out, figures can figure out everything. Life is a simple honest challenge,
you want to give in to temptations, you want to give in to desires, go ahead. Small mean
simple thing, it is a syndrome multiple, all means it is. One is always all and all is always
one and that has to be honored, that has to be accepted, that has to be related.

I am very grateful to Guru Nanak, my Guru Granth Sahib, that within my lifetime he took

me away from all relationship, all phony loves, all commotional claims, all attachments. I
never deserved it. I am very, very grateful to Guru that I became sick and seriously ill
because that showed up also the sincerity of those who claim to love me and those who
claim to be my right hands and my left hand and my top and bottom, I saw it all, I
experience it all, I am so grateful and I am very grateful that you came out and you did
prayer and then you took me away from the hand of death, I realized in my depth of
heart that how saintly you have become and I am worried about one thing, you don't
believe it still that you changed the death to life. Your prayer works because you are
afraid, if you start believing your prayer works, then you have to work. I know you, I
know your problem but I am telling you it worked, it works. I will like to pass my last few
days, I want to walk this last mile of my life free of all those who love me or hate me but
I tell you, pray harder and come along, let us start working the prayer, let us put this
way, it worked in my case, it can work in every case, isn't, what do you say? It worked
for me, it will work for all, right.

When I was on that table, lying down and being considered dead and when they were
giving me electric shocks to raise me up, I didn't hear those electric shocks and those
doctors, I did hear Jap Sahib sung exactly in the tape of Niranjan and I woke up and I
knew I am not dying and I want you to know too. So with that death I have paid
my Karma to the earth I came for to all who belong to me on this earth. I am not upset, I
am not trying to say goodbye to anybody but I am telling them enough is enough, they
have insulted me and they have said goodbye to me many times. I am not saying
goodbye, I am not saying anything, all I am saying leave me to my Guru, tighten up your
gears and come where I am going. If you can't, you don't have to. Don't create ruckus,
be real and I am telling you all, that if Mickey mouse and Santa Claus can own this
empire and world, each one of you, million time more superior than that. Guru Gobind
Singh has taught us a human technology, not a caricature technology. He told us a very
living thing, live and give.

That's what Guru Nanak said,

"Daydaa day laiday thak paahi"

"Jugaa jugantar khaahee khaahi."

"Hukmee hukam chalaa-ay raahu."

"Nanak viksay veparvaah."

Sometime you don't come to Sadhana, don't; you will be sick. Not coming to Sadhana is
just not cleaning your house, cleaning your teeth, not eating, you will be
sorry. Sadhana clean the subconscious garbage so that you can see through, you can
work through your life, that's whatSadhana is. Don't come to Gurdwara, go somewhere
else but Guru give you cleansing light, it enlightens you. There are things are not, don't
do anything ritualistically, do it as a reality.
Look at me, twenty years ago I came to United States and Shakti will stand as a vouch I
didn't have a shirt to put on my body. Her son's shirt, who was much smaller in
structure, she gave me a bush shirt because I couldn't wear the shirt because the arms
of the shirt were much short and look idiot, I wear that bush shirt for days and days and
days, look today, if you bring me the whole universe I can walk away with it, walk over it
and not walk at all. Isn't Guru Ram Das great? You want to see more miracle about it,
this not a miracle? Is it not a miracle those of us who never used to eat meat, without
food without meat and food without wine and few done all that, we are vegetarian today,
is it not a miracle in the newspaper says yoga, vegetarian and few exercise can change
everything?

Somebody is doing PR for you, just have the guts, go hail Guru Ram Das and heal
people of their physical, mental and spiritual aliments. Give them right to live, go and
grow with people, love grassroot people, be real, be the lighthouse, do you know the
lighthouse doesn't see its own light, do you know that? Do you know there is a shadow
under the candle itself but it gives lights to others. If you cannot learn from me, learn
from candle, what is a candle, why you burn candles everywhere, it's a caricature of
giving light, it burns its head to give you light, can't you not yours. Well, we do not know
how many days we will talk like this, how many days are granted, how many breath of
life is granted but if I never talk to you again, just remember, as I feel today free, that's
how all of you should feel. There is no fun of having every relationship, one fun is one
fun. Jump the gun, just have one fun, get to Guru Ram Das in relationship and put it in
your heart, let it rule you, you belong to somebody and all will belong to you. When you
belong to one, then all belongs.

That's why Sikh Dharma starts with one simple Mantra, Ik Ong

Kar Sat Guru Prasad Sat Guru Prasad Ik Ong Kar, go it anyway, do it anyway. No man
is born to be unhealthy, no man is born to be unhappy, no man is born to be unholy,
man is born to be in the goodwill of God, God gave man the will.

Somebody said, "Why then God gave us the will?"

I said, "To find the goodwill of God."

You are given everything fine, let us win this chess game of Karma and let us live in
the Dharma. Lot of people have tried to make me a man, lot of tried to make me a idiot,
lot of make me a criminal, lot of people have done lot of things, nothing works, hand of
God is there to protect.

'Rakhe Rakhan Har Apu Barium.'

'Gurke Pehari Pai Kai rian.'

'Oh Ya Apdhyan Dayal Manono Sariyan.'

'Sath Janake Sang Poujo Tharian'

'Sakath Nindik Dusth Kin Me Padarian.'

'Thes Sahib Ke Take, Thes Sahib Ke Take,'

'Nanak Mane Man.'

'Jith Simro Samo Sagale Dhook Ja.'

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh.
