The sound current of the Shabd Guru produces a pure vibratory frequency, much like a tone emitted from a tuning fork when it is struck. By so doing, you will find a deep and rich state of being where lie the permanent, true answers and solutions to your troubles. By reciting the words, connect with your soul. Choose a verse or chant…any one will do…to sing or recite. When you have trouble, go to the Shabd Guru. The Shabd Guru is a powerful tool to develop that rare relationship between the finite you and Infinite You. Self-mastery comes from a deep relationship with the self. Even though we do it all the time, we often find that there is something empty in seeking for solutions outside. Our active mind is ever creating schemes and machinations to gain material goods, status, affirmation, sympathy and empathy. Many of us have a tendency to look for solace ‘outside’. On the other hand, succumbing to the seduction and illusion that answers lie outside of yourself, you will become a victim of your own expectations and illusions. There you will find your victory and satisfaction-your self-mastery. Stated differently: Go deeply inside, touch your soul and vibrate at the frequency of the Divine. He summed up this concept with the simple and penetrating line “Go inside and be a Master, go outside and be a victim”. Rather, through meditation and developing a deep relationship with the divine within, the key to victory is to train yourself to be still and allow things to come to you. He repeatedly stressed that the way to success was not in seeking anything outside of ourselves-be it wealth, status, power, possessions or approval. Of the many penetrating concepts he would teach and share, he often discussed the pitfalls of the human tendency to ‘go out and get’ what we believe we want. He would tell stories, invite women to share their life experiences to the group, answer questions from the crowd or simply provide straight-on lectures. In these cherished lectures, Yogi Bhajan would often repeat the same concepts over and over again and in different ways in an effort to penetrate our years of habits, conditioning and preconceived notions about ourselves. We spent many precious hours at the feet of the Master as he would share innumerable gems and jewels about how to live fulfilling, satisfying and more self-realized lives. Those of us who have been blessed to attend these courses have many fond memories of gathering for summer evening lectures under a huge big top situated in a grove of cottonwood trees. (Originally published as ‘Shabd Guru’ in Aquarian Times, Fall 2003)įor nearly 30 years, Yogi Bhajan has invited women from all over the world to join together each summer in New Mexico and develop their inner strength, talent and grace at Women’s Camp.
