[Filmed Northwest Retreat Portland, Oregon September 2010] [Signup for a 2011 retreat
with Yogiraj Siddhanath] Just lead the good life, breathe God. Breathe Him in and breathe
Him out and saturate yourself with God so much that there is no room for anybody but
God. Never mind what other people say, never mind what philosophers talk about, unless
you fall in love with your breath and get mad after God, there is little that can be
achieved. And all the other achievements come to naught. When Alexander (the Great) conquered
large portions of the world, his Guru who was from India, his Master, came to Alexander
and told him, that the Guru's was Kalinath, mispronounced Kalyanos, Kalinath of the Nath
tradition, to which I belong. He told him, Alexander what have you lost and what have
you gained? Nothing was yours so that you could have gained it. The only things that
you must have control of is life and death, that is in the hands of God. So when you die
you come with nothing and you go with nothing. You have to teach this lesson to the world.
So when you die and they bury you, tell them to keep your hands out of the grave empty.
Empty I came and empty I did depart, except for the spirit that I am taking with me. So
he (Alexander) took a great spirit with him. He was not only a great conqueror and a warrior,
but he was a great yogi and a great spiritual soul. And you will hear the sound of Alexander,
and his preachings and teachings through various climes and times and people and climates.
And so was the great emperor, Genghis Khan, the king of kings, the emperor of emperors,
these mighty beings. That when they focused on the sun, or whoever they thought of to
be God, they had the capacity to lose themselves, so intense was their concentration. That Khan,
was the sun incarnate himself. Such are the stories of these great people, that they not only conquered the world but
they had conquered a lot within themselves too so as to be able to be absorbed in God,
so as to be able to be absorbed in the Supreme Being. And all of you have this potential
of Alexander and the emperor of emperors, Genghis Khan. And all these great warriors
and all these great saints like Jesus, like Buddha, the Christ, Apollonius of Tyana, all
these great people, Francis of Assisi, Anandamayi Ma. She was the avatar of the century and
she showed us this spirituality is not the monopoly of men, that women can avail of this
state even as much as men can. Their pathways may be different because they choose to be
different. They choose the way of the heart. If they choose the way of the spiritual power
of the soul, then they shall go that way, if they choose the way of devotion, they shall
go that way. So unto all of us He is here, He is speaking to me, He is speaking to you
this moment. And it is the one who is hearing him that is God also. The one who is speaking
is God, the one who is hearing is God also. So we must be drunk with Him. Inhale God,
exhale God, live God, love God, eat God, live God, die God, resurrect God and be constantly
with God for He is so essential to our being and existence. The other day, an article came
from Stephen Hawking saying that existence does not need God for its proof, naturally
not, because God is just a word. Call it what you may. Existence is existence, God is existence
so why should existence need existence to prove itself? But existence, God, is not dependent
on existence, like the ocean is not dependent on the wave. Existence comes into being through
the white hole and the big *** and disappears through the supermassive black hole. But in
all its 311 Trillion years of the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe,
God is there. And after the universe disappears, God is still there. After the universe appears,
He is still there. He needs no credit for what He is doing for there is nothing else
but Him. There is nothing else but God. You are God, I am God, He is God, this is God,
that is God, everything is Him. There is nothing that is not Him. [Copyright й Hamsa Yoga
