These days are so precious: where first we are going to realize our true self, our being, then the Divine, and then merge with the Divine.

This is our purpose on this planet. We have not been living, we have been in thinking, in thinking. We were living while we were in thinking. In thinking means: we were always either in the past or in the future. Never in the present, and hence, never lived. We must starting today, start living.

And that old self must leave us, or we must take exit from our old self. The old ways of thinking, the old habits, the old ways of reacting. We never lived.

Whosoever is sent into this world, the way He has designed this play, whosoever comes into this world, becomes entangled with the world.

In this play, so many souls have been covered in many other forms. Trees, animals, birds, fishes, all those. And we are so unbelievably blessed to have the human bodies. Because we don't live, we always remain in thinking, and so we never appreciate this. So we must start living.

Thinking happens: the thinking keeps us in the horizontal state of consciousness, which moves parallel to the Earth. In the past, in the left, or in the future, right. Living happens. We become alive when we become present.

To live means we have to be here to live. When we are thinking we are never here.

Such a blessing, such an opportunity, such a precious form and precious opportunity. When we become alive, when we wake up, then our consciousness moves vertically, upwards, in the street of love.

Once we wake up, we would be stunned and sad to see that how humans are wasting their such an opportunity. How humans are asleep towards their invaluable wealth of human body and human consciousness. You would become sad that how everybody is wasting their life.

We wake up. The only way to wake up is through meditation. Meditation brings us in the present. And when we come in the present, then we watch that our consciousness does not move horizontally. It moves upward. Means what? As long as we are in meditation we’ll remain awake.

I wake up. As I meditate, I wake up, and I find myself peaceful. As long as we remain asleep means as long as we remain in the thinking mode of our consciousness, there will always be conflicts within. There would be fears; there would be anger; there would be regrets; there would be complaints; there would be fires of lust, anger, greed. There would be conflicts within us, within the family, within others, conflict between countries and all that.

What's the root? Root is the thinking process. Root is the sleep.

Please, we must understand to the deepest core of our being, that awakening can only happen through meditation. Meditation means to come in the present and feel our being. And the only way to wake up is by remembering God. By remembering God.

When we remember God, God reveals Himself within us. The problem with the mind is that it does not drink what is. Drink the the statements of truth. It filters, but we must learn to drink.

The word Waheguru is not just a word, which means 'wonderful Lord'. It's not just a word. It's a tool to meditate. Because when we enter this word, it awakens our insides.

Our thinking consciousness is not going to hum. That remains outside. That is for the outer world. This humming, which is we are going to do, our souls would be humming, if we become totally focused. Let us hear our souls.

Please let the old die. We were not that. We are something so beautiful: alive, throbbing, rejoicing, celebrating. Get out of the thinking. They will never let you wake up and taste what human life is. What human consciousness is.

Wake up and recognize that you are a guest here. You are on a journey here. You are not going to be here forever. You are a traveler. You are a traveler. So far you have been going in rounds, wandering, thinking and wandering. You have to travel and the path is upward. You have to travel. You are a traveler, and the path is upward.

Become dust off the feet of those who are walking to the Divine's home, Divine's mansion. Become the dust off their feet. That's the only way your old false self can die. Otherwise, it would never...

Stay at the gate of the heart area. By staying there, their consciousness becomes humble, utterly humble, and only those are called inside into His Court. Only those who become utterly humble, kind, loving, only they're called in into His court, which is within this body.

You are a traveler here. You have been only wandering in the past and the future. You have never traveled. The path is upward. The path to travel is upward. That is also called, "panth". The path.

For the coming week, we all are going to hum the word, Waheguru. This word is a tool to wake us up and to bring us into the present. This word is a tool to meditate. This word, when it's hummed within, it awakens our insides.

So for the coming week, many times, every day, we are going to hum the word. And this is going to make us -- to wake us up. And when we wake up, we would find that our consciousness is humble, kind, loving.
