Communication: Its Psychology and Practical Knowledge
Lecture by Yogi Bhajan on June 30, 1985, at KWTC (Khalsa Women’s Training Camp)
Sit and be Sacred
Teree meher daa bolnaa Tudh agai ardaas Guru Guru Wahe Guru Guru Ram Das.
Aad gure nameh Jugaad gure nameh Sat gure nameh Siree guru deve nameh.
Wahe Guru ji ka Khalsa Wahe Guru ji ki Fateh.
The cost we are paying to become human is not the cost we should be paying. The cost we are paying to be happy is not the cost we should be paying. What is going on today is very strange environments. We are all behaving like children. You give a child a car, a toy car which works with batteries and all that, and instead of playing with the car, he tries to tear it apart to find out what this car is all about. And though he can satisfy his curiosity, the car, that toy car, once taken apart by the child the way he wants it, shall never be the same.
Life is given as gift to you and you want to tear it apart, to find out what it is all about. And trying to do so, you can do what you want to do; you can sleep with two hundred men and you can sleep with two hundred women, you can run around, you can do what you want. Everybody’s free and independent. You have your own definitions, your own notions. I feel honestly that your life will never be the same.
If you take away the sacredness from the life, your life is not going to be the same. You can have as much wealth as you want, you can have as much health as you want, and you can have as much holiness about you as you want, and you can have as much power in the world as you want. But if you do not have sacredness in your life, which you are willing to share with others and especially with yourself, you have nothing. You are just a useless, hopeless human being, who will be a pain in the neck to yourself and to all those you will touch. That is why there is so much pain on this earth, so much pain in this society, so much pain all around us. And whatever is sacred to us, we like to destroy it.
I agree that your father didn’t love you. I’m asking you, what is the remedy? You want to be reborn and tell the father to love you again? He goofed. Your mother did not give you the values. She goofed. We can apologize. But is there any way we can return back and get rid of that anger? No, we can’t. Are we going to destroy our future? We can’t….”
“You are all angry because you are not loved. Who are you willing to love? None. It is so shocking. I’m sitting here after fifteen years, and I want to experience something with you. I do not know if you even know what love is. Love has a reverence. Love has a sacredness about it. Love has an experience of ecstasy of consciousness. Love is the beginning and the end of every creativity. Love by itself is God. Your definition of love is so painful and so insulting to love. And what comes out of your love is so ridiculous, it’s causing pain all around. So I can say to you, “Stop loving.” We are better without love, than with this love of yours. You have brought the word love to such a hateful, sinning level. You lay all guilt on love. Your psychological, mental, sociological, personal, and imaginary motivation, your imagery of your own creativity are all dumped on one thing—love. Why don’t you call yourselves super haters? Why do you use this pious word, this sacred word?…”
