Triangular Strength
The Power of Your Head, Your Heart, and Your Soul
Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan) Speaks (cont.) Excerpts, 10/16/93
Do you know what a cross reference is? There are two things you always know: you always know what is right; you always know why you are not doing what is right. If we have not developed a cross reference in us, we will do exactly what is wrong - knowingly and precisely, and we will pray that we escape and not get caught. In our personality, there is a very powerful computer, called consciousness. It's feeble, it's humble, and it's a little wise.
Ninety percent of all our pain is because we have no cross reference. There is no faculty in us to look at an experience, and know it is “me and my soul giving me the experience of Infinity.” All we know is that this is the planet Earth, this is my home, this is my girl, this is my boy, this is my money, this is - all that which is opaque. There is no gem quality; there is no cross reference to see through the crystal. Crystal is the most powerful thing, yet we take physical crystals and we wear them for healing. If you become crystal, you are healed. The crystal in you is the cross reference. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and you can see right or wrong; your consciousness can tell you wrong is wrong and it cannot be right.
Technologically, you have all the options of knowledge. It is amazing that the entire body from top to bottom is totally rhythmic, and the only thing which is not rhythmic and harmonious is you. Because you clash with your ego, you are never you, your ego is never yours; it never can be, because you do not know who you are, you do not know where to stop, and where to start.
Your intellect gives you millions of thoughts, you start pursuing them blindly. It becomes your desire, you cannot master your desire, and then you cannot master your life. Mastery is not a gimmick. Mastery is not spirituality. Mastery is life. We have to have a truthful relationship with ourselves.
If you are experienced, and you are wise, if you have a cross reference, and you can be you, it's such an enjoyable life, such a happy life, that there is nothing you can be worried about. That gold in you is your cross reference, your capacity, your density, your beauty, your joy and your capacity to say ‘no.’ Some men have defied the law of nature because their nature has become the law. And that is who can practice cross reference. And that's your strength.
Whenever you cannot face the reality of life, you switch gears. Either you get to your elementary self and get totally depressed or you get to your professional self, totally become egomaniac, or you get to your fantasies and totally space out. Because you are a trinity. And if you don't have the cross reference, and you do not have the capacity of having a cross fire to smooth yourself out of the trouble, you will not make sense. It's very painful that your pain is caused by you and faced by you.
First you become teacher to yourself and then your soul shall leave and redeem peace and tranquility, and be as one with God. If you become your own teacher, prosperity will be there, good things will come to you, good ideas will come to you. Because it's all in the magnetic framework of existence. Wisdom is all within you, knowledge is all within you, strength is all within you, you can get nothing from outside. Simply it has to be triggered, and that science to trigger in you the best is called Kundalini Yoga. Because human vitality is unlimited, infinite. You always use the power of your head, the power of your heart; use the power of your soul sometime and see what that can do.
