ON SELF BLESSING:
One secret:
When you get up in the morning, BLESS YOURSELF! I do it all the time.
I do it like this: when I take my first 'curl', I say 'blessed are my
hands and blessed is my head that brings them over me and blessed are
my eyes that see them. And blessed is my body that has awakened from
the spell of infinite death unto activity. I shall tell the whole
world how beautiful is Guru Ram Das, and how God is working in
personality through this 'pipe' to give people the miracle beyond
what is written in their destiny. And then I curl around and I sleep
a little more, and then get up again. And I always do it secretly,
thrice. And once I got caught by my own teacher. (Yogi Bhajan,
December 29, 1983. Recording.)
I was given this lesson on my third birthday. Evaluate yourself for
three minutes every morning and for five minutes every twilight. You
will never miss anything which can serve you or bring you the best.
It's eight minutes of self-evaluation.
Do it religiously.
Evaluate yourself by blessing your head. Nose, ears, eyes, mouth,
teeth, throat, chest, arms and belly every morning. Just tell
them, 'Be with me and be nice.' In the evening, for five minutes,
bless your ten toes and fingers, earlobes and top of the ears. It's an
acupuncture. Bless every part of the ears and you'll be a new person.
You must evaluate and assess yourself. After blessing your body in the
evening, bless your good deeds of the day. In the rooming bless your
good thoughts. Your environments, life, your power, projection and
behavior will become the best. You have to bless every part of the
body with touch. These are your friends. In the first three
minutes, at the dawn of your consciousness, befriend your being
physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the evening, befriend your
being in detail. This you can teach a three year old.
What sees in your eyes? Soul. What bears in your ears? Spirit. What
talks through your tongue? What moves your legs? What moves your
hands? What beats your heart? What pumps your lungs? What works your
diaphragm? What moves your bowels? What keeps your throat wet? The
spirit of your soul. Have you thanked it today? Why not? Everything
in your being is being moved by the spirit of your soul. Feel it,
thank it, praise it, understand it. It will serve you ten times
better. Talk to it, befriend it
(KWTC XVI. 1991)
