1. Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Raise the arms parallel to the floor. Point the hands towards each other—about 1 inch apart—in front of the sternum, palms flat and face down. Eyes are closed. Pivoting from the elbow, rhythmically move the hands up and down about 4 inches. Chant along with Nirinjan Kaur’s Humee Hum Brahm Hum mantra. The sciatic nerves will move with the power of the hands. Continue for 11 minutes.

2. On Humee Hum, breathe in. On Brahm Hum, breathe out. Open up your chest cavity. Continue for 1 minute.

3. Inhale deeply, raise both hands straight overhead, keeping the arms relaxed. Just think, I am a human, I can do everything, everything is with me. I am beautiful, bountiful, blissful, wonderful Praise yourself. Continue for 3 minutes with calm deep breathing. To end, inhale deeply and stretch the arms and spine. Cannon Fire Exhale.

Repeat 2 more times. Relax.

Comments: You are a human being, but with all the book knowledge, with all the yoga sets, with all the talk of meditation and God–you do not remember that you are a human being. What are the signs that you remember you are a human being all the time? The first sign is that you will not try to get anything—all things will come to you. Second, you will not be poor. And third, your spirits will be up. I got up in the morning and I remembered, “I am a human being.” It was 3 o’clock. I said to myself, “If I sleep until 8:00 there are five more hours. But if I do not sleep, there are no hours.” So I defeated the time. I put the quilt aside, I defeated the space. When you dearly want to sleep and you barely see the clock, one fundamental thing goes wrong. You do not remember that you are a human being, that you are made in God. This is the chance to be enlightened. Not by somebody else, by you. This is the chance for your psyche to be with you.

What do you actually want? You may want something, but God—who gave you birth, growth, everything—may want to give you something else. This is called “conscious conflict with the Creator.” And we all do it. We say, “God is Everything”—then who does the mischief? You have divided God into two things: God and the devil. And most of the time you forget who you are—human. So there are three parties. One is the devil who is negative, terrible. One is God who is good, wonderful. And one is you, who is forgetful. When are you going to realize that you are a human? Once in a lifetime? The day you remember that you are a human, that day you will become divine, and duality will leave you. You will be prosperous and opportunities will come to you. You will be made rich without having to become rich. As a human being you are very vast. You can know the language of everything, from a stone to a mountain to a bird to a worm. That vastness can give you all the happiness you need. That is your completion. That is your fulfillment. Take just one understanding upon yourself: I am a human being.

For the next three days see everything as human, know you are human, and do everything as a human. See how fast it will change you, how powerful it will make you, and how wonderfully you will enjoy those 72 hours. You must believe you are a human. Do not try to prove it to yourself, because it is a fact. It will give you confidence. It will bring out the gold in you. You will become a jewel. And all the devilish ideas, all the weaknesses, all rejections, all pain will start disappearing. Do not forget the truth, the ultimate truth, the divine truth, the most sacred and secret truth: You are human.
