Om Ganesha

The Time of Hanumanji's Ashram

The Time of Kali Yoga and the Kali Yogi

A Time for Peace for Everyone

 

 

December 3, 2002

 

 

Namaste my chelas all over the world,

 

Procrastination is a habit that once started becomes harder and

harder to give up.

It is not in your genes, nor in your Lineage.

It is simply a habit that you can break with deep awareness.

Everyone can do something about it.

When you become successful in your meditation and on your spiritual

path, you can bet that you did not procrastinate.

People who waste their time on gossiping or bad habits, procrastinate.

When you have something to do and you keep putting it off, this is

procrastination.

You want to do it and yet you keep leaving out that which you need to

do.

Then it becomes painful.

A lack of beauty comes to the one who keeps procrastination.

If you keep putting off serving others then you are hurting you and

others.

Procrastination can bring huge spaces for addictions.

Keeping busy with what is important makes your life worthwhile.

The only time you should say not now, is when you are meditating and

the ego begins to bring thoughts to your mind.

This is when you need to say not now.

You all know what you need to do so just do it.

Let us start with Kali Yoga.

Always make time to go to your Kali Yoga class or do your Kali Yoga

on your own if you know how.

Procrastination is simply self deluding.

Kali Yoga is in the now.

Procrastination can have you waking up and finding out that you are

95 years old and wasting your life.

 

As you live at the feet of your Paramaguru and Guru, try to do all

things as they come upon you.

You will be surprised how happy this will make you.

I will help you, my chelas, to break the habit of procrastination.

The source of Awareness is in you and you start to be aware through

the watching of your breath.

I cannot say this enough.

The breath, the breath, the breath.

One day you will not be able to tell when your breath leaves off and

the Mother's breath begins.

 

When you understand where negative feelings come from you will soon

find out that you do not need them in your life.

Do not refer to your mind thoughts.

Refer to the prana thoughts of the heart.

The prana in the heart only brings positive feelings.

Once you gravitate to your heart and the prana that surround it and

are in it, you begin to let go of negativity.

Being positive keeps you healthy and happy.

Procrastinating when you should be exercising, can keep you not as

healthy as you must be.

I would love if each one of you would take a nice walk today saying

the Mantra, "My Ma loves me," as you walk.

This will make your heart feel good and you will get your exercise in.

I know you are all probably asking, what is heart prana?

It is early very early this moment in the Mother's Dance and yet I

cannot wait to be able to teach our before dawn Darshan.

The heart prana in the Guru Mother's heart begins to swirl around and

around and touches every part of all chakras.

In other words, the prana of the heart is internally breathed when

you jump into the Guru and Paramaguru's moment.

 

Once you understand that happiness is already in you and you only

need to stir it up, then you will not let negativity take up any kind

of real space within your being.

This is not pretending that negativity does not exist.

This only makes you use your mental capacity and huge heart.

How do you live in the moment?

To live in the moment let the past go.

Bringing your attention always to the past, uses up the moment.

The past is the past and the future has not happened.

Awareness will bring you into the now.

Bring joyous moments of the past into the now and let the negativity

go this moment.

Access your wisdom this moment and watch how your quality of life

becomes more and more.

You can change your destiny through your own inner wisdom.

There is no need to pretend that you are happy.

As you read these words on this sacred Darshan Line, you can very

easily become happy as you live in the fertile ground of the moment.

 

I ask our Baba Neem Karoli to bring you all to the Mother's Heart

Moment.

Feel the power of your Baba my chela and never ever forget how much

this Guru Mother loves you with all her heart and soul.

 

Let us all merge this moment in the Baba's Moment as he takes you

into mine.

This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.

Love Ma Jaya

Tenzin Yangchen

 

Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai

Always at his Feet, Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
