True Love
One who loves, loves all.
One who loves all does not love just the one.
When you love all, the One loves you, because you love it.
Learn to love.
Love has no territory.
He who has territory, has not learned love.
How can the unlimited become limited?
Love is God, my dear, and God is love. God and love cannot be separated.
With love, you find God.
How can you be limited and be God?
God is unlimited. But in our limited life, with our jealousies and insecurities, we want to be loved alone.We want to be respected alone.
But only those who respect all shall be respected; those who love all shall be loved; those who give all shall be given; and those who share with all will have the share.

We like to think that we love, yet we still love one and not another. Yogi Bhajan-as well as most other spiritual teachers-says this is impossible. So this year, as we walk together, through this gateway toward the Aquarian Age on February 14th, 2009, let us remind ourselves that to love at all means loving all-and that to love only one is to love none. Expand your conception of love and allow your heart to open wide!
1000天 寶瓶年代戰無不勝精神冥想
Meditation for an Invincible Spirit in the Aquarian Age 1,000-Day Sadhana
寶瓶年代戰無不勝精神的冥想 – 1,000天Sadhana
We are quickly approaching the long awaited transition to the Aquarian Age. Much has been written about this. In essence it is humanity’s transition from adolescence to maturity. 我們正迅速地接近等待已久, 進入年代的過渡期。關於此的寫作巳經很多。 精粹來說, 它是人類從青年期到成熟的過渡期。
We leave behind the Piscean Era and enter into an age of global awareness, radiance, intuition and cooperation, an era that will usher in an age of equanimity and prosperity, accompanied by an evolution in our capacity to perceive, think, feel and sense. 我們把雙魚時代放下而開始進入全球性的覚知、光茫四射,直覺與合作,將迎接一個沉著和 繁榮的年代,陪同著察覺力,思想,感受和感覺容量演変的一個時代。
Such growth would mean that much would need to be left behind—old structures and ways of thinking, communicating and living will pass. 這樣的成長, 意味著將需要放下的就需要放下 – 老結構和思維方式,溝通和生活將會過去。
Confusion, depression, and conflicts will increase as the old ways of holding power—politically, religiously, socially and personally—all fight their last fight. 當舊勢力還要維持其權力時, 混亂、消沉和沖突將增加 – 政治上,宗教上,社會上和個人 – 全都去打他們最後的仗。
This period of testing and growth will last until 2038, when a new stewardship of this planet and our selves will be realized and peace will have an opportunity to prevail on Earth. 這段考驗和成長時期將持續直到2038年,當這行星有了一個新的管理和我們將實現了自己,和平才有機會在地球上呈現。
Yogi Bhajan used his intuitive clarity to focus and prepare us for this transition, noting that the dawning of the Age would be precisely at 11:30am (PST), November 11, 2011. The cusp period will end and the Age of Aquarius will begin. Yogi Bhajan用他直覺的清晰去聚焦和為我們這個過渡期作好准備,不單是說,這個時代將會精確地在2011年11月11日, 上午11:30 (PST),破嘵而至, 而高峰期將結束,年代將開始。
We will be challenged on every front—and from that pressure, a new culture of consciousness will bloom. 在每個前線我們都將受到挑戰 – 從那壓力,新的知覺文化將會盛開。
He defined it as the time of Khalsa: those who are pure in heart, clear in conscience, fearless and effective in action, intuitive, kind, and compassionate, noble within the Self, and humble before the Infinite Creator. 他定義了為Khalsa的時期:屬於 那些純淨源於心的,有清晰良知的,無所畏懼的和行動有效率的,有直覺的,親切和慈悲的,源於內在大我高尚的,和在無限創造者前謙虛的人的時期。
One of the many blessings in the community of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® is the love of discipline that allows us to awaken, expand and refine our awareness.
在Yogi Bhajan 派系的Kundalini Yoga團體裡, 衆多祝福裡的其中一個是對介律的愛, 讓我們覚醒,擴展和提煉我們的覚知。 With that expanded awareness we can act effectively, heal those in distress and enjoy the tumultuous, spontaneous creativity of life. 有了那擴張了的覚知, 我們可以有效地行動,治愈那些處於困厄中的, 能享受喧囂的生活,能互動生命中的創造性。
We practice 40-day meditations to embody new experiences or increased capacities. We practice 90-day meditations to clear our subconscious and build new habits. We practice 120-day meditations to realize that awareness in our daily lives. But when we want to experience self-mastery and confirm our consciousness, beyond every change of time, space and circumstance, we practice 1,000 days. 我們實踐40天冥想, 去包容了新的體驗。 我們實踐90天冥想, 清潔我們的潛意識, 同時建立新的習性。 我們實踐120天冥想, 去體現我們生活上的覚知。 但當我們想於時間、空間和任何情況之外去體驗自我精通和認証我們的知覺時,我們就要實踐1,000天。
A 1,000-day practice projects our newfound awareness, mastery and consciousness impersonally for all—it is impersonally personal—a discipline of grace that blesses all. 1,000天的實踐投射出我們新發現的覚知,精通,對所有一切的客覌覺知- 是主覌性的客覌 – 一個祝福一切的, 雍容的介律。
In mythical and symbolic traditions like numerology, it represents the nobility of the individual, “1”, expanded and radiant, as supported by the three “0’s”, the body, mind and spirit; negative, positive and neutral minds; and the three gunas. 在神話和符號傳統裡的數字命理學,它代表個人的尊貴。“1”,擴張和光芒四射,配合個三“0”,身體、心意和精神; 陰性,陽性和中性心意; 和三屬性gunas。
It is experience and mastery blended into a self-qualified awareness of human excellence. 是人類的超卓自我認証覚知和精通混和的體驗。
Yogi Bhajan gave us a practice for the Aquarian Age, which calls on those inner virtues. He shared it so that we could act with integrity and clarity as teachers, healers and leaders; so that we could be human under the pressures of the times and the distractions of change, ego and emotion. Yogi Bhajan 給了我們寶瓶年代的實踐,喚醒內在德行。 他分享了它,以便我們作為正直和清晰的老師、愈療者和領導; 令我們也能成為在時代的壓力和變動、假我和情緒的分心下人類。
Our practice will be worldwide and you can join in at any point, adding to the global psyche, projection and prayer: that we may enter the Aquarian Age awake, aware and joyous. 我們的實踐是全世界性的,而且你可以隨時加入,加到全球性的超然能量、投射力和禱告: 我們也能以醒覚,覚知和歡悅進入寶瓶年代。
3HO Foundation, The Kundalini Research Institute and Sikh Dharma International invite you to join us in this 1,000-day sadhana. 3HO基金會、昆達利尼研究所和國際錫克教組織邀請你加入我們這1,000天的sadhana。
We will be doing the following meditation for a 1,000 days, leading up to the Aquarian Shift on November 11, 2011. 我們會做以下冥想1,000天,直至寶瓶年代轉接至2011年11月11日 。
It uses the power of shabd—the technology of sound and consciousness.
它用Shabd的力量 – 音律和知覺的技術。
He originally introduced this mantra on February 5, 1992, soon after we entered the final cusp period of the Aquarian transition. 他於1992年2月5日介紹這曼陀羅後, 很快就進入了座年代過渡期最后的高峰階段。
We will practice it 11 minutes each day. If you wish, you can increase the time to 31 minutes. Ideally, choose a regular time to do it each day. Get together with friends and students. 我們每天將練習11分鐘。 如果你願意,可以增加時間到31分鐘。 最理想是選擇每天定時去做。去找些朋友和學生。
Practice it in community: Be together. Be brilliant with light. Be powerful with prayer. Be prosperous. Face the future with an open heart and open arms. 在社區裡練習:在 一起。 像光般精採。 像禱告般強而有力。 是富足。打開內心和張開胳 膊來面對將來。
The 1,000 day meditation begins February 14, 2009 and ends November 10, 2011. 1,000天冥想於2009年2月14日開始並2011年11月10日結束。

Invincible Spirit in the Aquarian Age 寶瓶年代戰無不勝精神
The three things which destroy you and your happiness as we enter the extreme changes of the Aquarian Age are: withdrawing and being alone; lack of success and prosperity; and fear or fantasizing instead of facing the future authentically with awareness and character. 隨著我們步入巨變的水平時代,會毀滅你與你幸福的三件事情是:退縮與孤獨﹔缺乏成 功與富足﹔以知覺與性格確實地面對未來被恐懼與幻想所取代。
We need to be connected in community, be prosperous and face the future. 我們需要結成團體,保持繁榮並面對未來。然后我們便能帶著卓越、性格與知覺去生活。
Then we can live with excellence, character and awareness. Meditate to overcome the polarities of the mind and act from your heart with Aquarian virtues. 為克服意識的對立並以寶瓶時代的美德發自內心地作為而冥想。變毀滅性的意識對立 為 寶瓶時代的美德

Time: 11–31 Minutes

Comments: In the face of any great change, we confront three destructive impulses:
注解:面對任何的巨變,我們必須正視三種毀滅性的力量:
to be alone and withdrawn, to deny or fantasize about the future that’s coming, and to live with greed or scarcity instead of prosperity.
孤獨與退縮﹔否認或幻想正在降臨的未來,帶著貪婪或匱乏去生活而不是富足。
This mantra counters these three tendencies and instills the mind with courage and caliber. 這個曼陀羅能助你對抗這三種趨勢,使你獲得勇氣與才干。

Introduction and Launch of the Global 1,000-Day Meditation for
An Invincible Spirit in the Aquarian Age
With Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, PhD
Director of Training
Kundalini Research Institute
http://kriteachings.org/1000day/live_broadcast.htm
We are quickly approaching the long-awaited transition to the Aquarian Age. This Age holds much promise, a time when we mature as a human race, a time that calls on our best virtues as human beings, a time when we shift from egocentric self-centeredness to the reality of our interconnectedness. We all have much more in common than our differences in country, ethnicity, race, religion or ability might belie. In this age, the vaulted individual ego is replaced with awareness, sensitivity, character and commitment to the common good.
How shall we excel as individuals and connect as a global village? Yogi Bhajan gave us a perspective, framework and practices for the Aquarian Age, which call on those inner virtues, so that we could act with integrity and clarity as teachers, healers and leaders. He called us to be human under the pressures of the times and the distractions of change, ego and emotion.
In this online class-February 11, 2009, 7pm MTN-we will join together to prepare for the global 1,000-day meditation-we will:
- Practice a kriya to raise our energy and kundalini awareness
- Do the 11-minute form of the Mantra for the Aquarian Age
- Discuss why Yogi Bhajan shared this mantra and this version of the music as the sadhana
- Examine the structure and use of the mantra
- Explore the Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age
- Extend an invitation to join hands and hearts to create the experience and blessing of this 1,000 day sadhana
You can begin at the beginning. You can be a beacon that guides and attracts people to raise the kundalini of the globe as we embrace the growth and changes that will come. You can join at any point and add to the combined psyches and hearts of many thousands of mediators. You can contribute in 40-day efforts that support the ongoing, unbroken projection and stillness that this meditation creates. In whatever way you can, join this practice of consciousness, creativity, prosperity and love!
Join us for this global dress rehearsal and then begin as One Global Community, on February 14th, and bring your hope, joy and dedication together with friends and students. Practice it in community: Be together. Be brilliant with light. Be powerful with prayer. Be prosperous. Face the future with an open heart and open arms.
To support your efforts, you can link into the KRI facebook network for this meditation, you can get the DVD of the original class by Yogi Bhajan, and you can watch it streamed on the internet from the KRI site. Inspire your self, your friends and students and all those who wish to honor the love, stillness and courage of a renewed spirit.
