成為寶瓶時代的北極星 

以下是本講座的摘錄：

當你仰望天空看到北極星時，它是一顆不會改變位置的恆星。這是整個行星系統中唯一穩定的東西，它總是在北方。 太陽會根據天氣和地球軌道改變方向，儘使太陽本身是靜止不動的，然而地球的軌道也不允許太陽在我們可見的天空中保持靜止，冬天的太陽和夏天的太陽也不一樣。月亮也有著週期波動，你也不能依賴月亮。 所以幾個世紀以來，世界各地的導航都依賴於北極星，北極星通常被稱為導航星來尋找方向。 在寶瓶時代，那將是卡沙Khalsa（純潔）的地方：穩定、堅定、永恆不變、有其性格和特徵。卡沙 Khalsa將是一個擁有完整感官系統的經典人類。

你不曾出生，你以出生形式來到世間。 你已經旅行了很多世，也累積很多經歷。 有時你雖有機會，但你無法讓自己保持位置堅持自己的道路。如果有人想攀登山顛時，就可能會發生這種情況，並非所有人都能成功到達山頂。並非每棵樹結的果實都有機會到達國王的盤子裡。但你們中的許多人，在這裡擁有寶瓶時代生活所需，正在發展中的感知系統，你必須去享受感知系統帶來的生活。 你必須在超感知系統中成長，透過冥想之眼弄清楚什麼是真的什麼不是真的。 記住雙魚時代即將結束。 確切地說，它只有大約30年左右的時間，這場正在發生的戰役是消滅地球人口過多的開始。 如果你自己期望建立一個和平的大型看板讓和平佔上風，但這件事不會發生。地球應該容納30億人，而我們現在卻有60億人。 因此，我們有30億的剩餘。 我們所有的高談闊論，什麼我們可以養活100億人 — 都是在空談。 自古以來在很長的歲月裡，作物不會噴灑農藥。但現在，實在是噴灑太多了，我們無法讓地球保持有機。 只有兩個有機的地方了 — 北極和南極。 地球的其餘部分，甚至海洋也都不是有機的，地球裡面有這麼多的汙垢、化學物質和錯誤。

你還記得那個在洛杉磯海岸附近划船的人，發現塑膠袋漂浮在海面，而且裡面還裝滿了注射器、針頭和藥瓶嗎？ 其中大多數是毒瓶，他還看到許多其它被扔進海裡的塑膠袋。 由於潮汐，它們開始飄散。 他通知了當局，他們收集了大約100個。 每天，他們都不停地一直打撈上來。

人天生貪婪。 我們毀了我們的河流、供水、土地和環境。 這意味著一件簡單的事情：我們毀了我們的個性、人格、特徵、我們可以相信的美德，以及摧毀了引導我們這些信仰的堅守原則，我們有了這些信仰才能變得光亮燦爛和真實。 這就是為什麼 Guru Gobind Singh 在他的一生中建立了一個人類組織，並將卡沙Khalsa 這個字安在他們身上。 純潔和虔誠是我們的主要原則。

 

有時，通常情況下，我們被弄得非常生氣，但議論八卦不是我們的方式。 毀謗他人不是我們的方式。我們的方式是去確認我們的純潔，不要將任何使我們不純潔的思維放進我們的頭腦。這是我們必須理解最重要的事情。我們必須明白，神使我們成為有機的人，我們按照神的意願來成長和變老，這已绰绰有餘。

我們之中可能很少人這樣想，但只要明白只有一個合一的神。 比一些些更少更少— 那就是一個合一。 這就是為什麼Guru Nanak在描述行星系統中宇宙的互動 — 宇宙是什麼 — 就是 Ek Ong Kaar。 他沒有說 「Om Kaar」。 他說：「那個創造者合一，在整個創造物中創造的，就仍是一個一。 

接著，Sat Naam — 你的名字的身份是真實的。 如果你的名字是「 Shahinshaa」，Shahinshaa的意思是國王中的國王，而你卻在路邊乞討，那麼你只是在侮辱你自己的身份、你自己的名字。 

Kartaa Purkh。 去為別人而做，而不是為你自己做的那些事。 

Nirbhao、Nirvair。 不要害怕思慮中的思慮、心智中的心智，以及意識中的意識。 沒有復仇，因為你只不過是活生生的愛。你不必與任何人爭扯平，你必須與自己本身扯平。 

這就是已證實的身份，Akaal Moorat 將得到確立、財富會降臨到你身邊、豐盛會降臨到你身邊。 因為石頭雕像被敬拜，然而你們是活著的人。 你必須達到Akal Moorat的臨在狀態。

Ajooni。 因為你的靈魂經歷了無限的時代，它永遠不會死。 只有身體會拋下，靈魂會繼續進程。這是一個連續性的世界、這是一個連續性的宇宙。 從一開始，它就經歷了變化，會繼續變化。 沒有什麼能阻止它。 造物主的脈動就是這樣的。

Saibhang。 透過自己的創造力，在自己的覺知中，在自己的延伸中 — 這就是人類被描述和定義為Saibhang的方式。我們將所有這些話語與神聯繫起來，就好像它們不屬於我們一樣。 你說他們屬於神是什麼意思？ 它們實際屬於你啊， 你必須成為這些特色和特徵，並成為這些特色特徵所要求你達到的。 當你達到所有這些時，你的小我就不會變得荒謬。 

Gurprasaad：在Guru的恩典下，你可以在你自己身上找到所有這些東西。 然後，你將擁有非常罕見的能力、創造力、優雅和偉大，所以你可以說 Aad Such、Jugaad Such、Haibhee Such、Naanak Hosee Bhee Such。 然後，你可以作為那納克愛的教導和他的樣板擔保人，那納克就以Guru Gobind singh 的形式創造了這些樣板。 

記住，人生是非常寶貴的。 Gurprasaad 從許多世中降臨到你身邊，一旦你沒準滑倒，它就沒有盡頭。 我祈禱你會堅定、崇高和優秀。

IN THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, BE THE NORTH STAR

Here is an excerpt of this lecture:

When you look up at the sky and see the North Star, it is the one star which does not change its place. It is the only stable thing in the whole planetary system. It is always in the north. Even the sun changes its direction according to the weather and the orbit of the earth, though the sun is stationary. But the orbit of the earth does not allow the sun to remain stationary in the sky. In winter the sun is different, and in summer it is different. The moon also fluctuates. You cannot depend on it. For centuries, navigation around the world was dependent on the North Star, which is commonly known as the navigation star for finding one’s direction.

In the Age of Aquarius, that will be the place of the Khalsa: steady, firm, never changing, with character and characteristics. A Khalsa will be a classical human with a complete sensory system.

You are not born because you happened to be born. You have already traveled for many lives and had many experiences. Sometimes you had a chance but you were not in a position to hold onto the path. It happens when somebody wants to go to the top of the mountain. All do not succeed. Not every fruit which the tree gives reaches the king’s plate. But many of you are here with a sensory system of life that the Age of Aquarius is developing. You have to relish life in that system. You have to grow in the super-sensory system and figure out though the meditative eye what is real and what is not.

Remember the Piscean Age is coming to an end. It only has about 30-some years, to be exact. This war which is happening is the beginning of eliminating the earth’s over population. If you expect that creating a billboard for peace means that peace will prevail, it is not going to happen. The earth is meant to hold 3 billion people and we are 6 billion right now.  So, we are 3 billion surplus. All our talking high and speaking big that we can feed 10 billion people – is all talk.  For a long time, we would not spray chemicals on our crops. Now, there is so much spraying, there is no way to keep the earth organic.  There will be two places which will be organic – the North Pole and the South Pole.  The rest of the Earth, even the ocean will be not organic. There is so much dirt, chemicals, and blunder in it.

Do you remember the man who was boating off the coast of Los Angeles and found bags floating, full of syringes, needles and medicine bottles? The majority of them were poison bottles. He saw many bags which had been dumped in the ocean. Due to the tide, they started to float. He informed the authorities and they collected about 100 of them. Every day, they were coming up and up and up.

Man is greedy by nature.  We have ruined our rivers, our water supplies, our land, and our environments. That only means one simple thing: we have ruined our personalities, our characters, our characteristics, our virtues to believe, and our guardian principles to guide us with those beliefs so we can be radiant and real. That is why Guru Gobind Singh, within his lifetime, created an organization of humans and transferred onto them the terms of Khalsa. Purity and piety is our main principal.

Sometimes, normally, we get very offended. But gossip is not our way. Slandering others is not our way. Our way is to look at our purity and not to bring any thought into our head which makes us impure. That is the greatest thing that we are obliged to understand. We have to understand that God has made us as organic people. We grow and become older as God wills it. That is more than enough.

Here is an audio recording of a lecture given by the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan at a gurdwara on April 6, 2003:

We may be few.  But just understand there is one God. Fewer than few – One. That’s why Guru Nanak, when describing the universe in the planetary system of his interaction – what the universe is – said Ek Ong Kaar.  He didn’t say “Om Kaar.” He said “The One who is creative within the entire creation but still remains One.”

And then, Sat Naam – true is the identity of the Name.  If your name is “Shahinshaa” and Shahinshaa means king of the kings and you are begging on the road side, you are just insulting your own identity, your own name.

Kartaa Purkh.  Do for others, more than what you can do for yourself.

Nirbhao, Nirvair.  Have no fear of the thought within the thought, the mind within the mind, and the consciousness within the consciousness.  And have no vengeance because you are nothing but a living love. You do not have to get even with anybody. You have to get even with your own self.

That is where the status of a proven identity, Akaal Moorat, will be established.  Wealth will come to you. Prosperity will come to you. Because a statue of stone gets worshiped and you are living human beings. But you have to reach the state of being Akal Moorat.

Ajooni. Because your soul has come through infinite times, it is never dead. Only the body drops and the soul goes on. It is a continuous world. It is a continuous universe. From the beginning, it has gone through changes and it will go on changing. Nothing can stop it. That is how the impulse of the Creator is.

Saibhang. By its own creativity within its own consciousness within its own extension – that is how the human is described and defined as Saibhang.

We relate all these words to God as if they do not belong to us. What do you mean that they belong to God? They belong to YOU. You have to become these characteristics and become as these characteristics demand of you. When you reach all of that, your ego will not be ridiculous.

Gurprasaad:  With Guru’s grace you can find all these things in you.

And then, you will have the capacity, creativity, grace and greatness which is very rare so that you can say Aad Such, Jugaad Such, Haibhee Such, Naanak Hosee Bhee Such. Then, you can stand as a guarantor of Naanak’s teaching of love and his specimen, which he created in the form of Guru Gobind Singh.

Remember this is a very precious life.  It has come to you out of many lifetimes and once you slip, there is no end to it. My prayer is that you will be firm, exalted, and excellent.
