is a higher value than life… a greater value
than life.
Life can be sacrificed to love, but
love cannot be sacrificed to life.
Leslie Weatherhead tells the sto-
ry of the second world war.
Two soldiers were very friendly, great friends.
One evening one soldier comes back to
the trench but finds that his friend has not
returned.Manypeoplehavebeenkilledonthe
front. He becomes afraid — is his friend killed?
He enquires, and then somebody says, ‘We
are not certain that he is killed, but he was so
terriblywoundedthatitwasimpossibleforhim
to come to the trench. By now he must be
dead.’
It is getting dark now and the ene-
my is still firing madly but the soldier
wants to go and search for his friend.
The officer says, ‘No, this is foolish’, but
he doesn’t listen to the officer — he goes.
It is very difficult in the dark and there
are thousands of corpses all around.
He looks and looks and in the middle of the
night he returns — dragging his friend’s dead
body on his back. He himself is now terribly
wounded, mortally wounded… he cannot
survive.
The moment he reaches the trench he falls
on the floor with the body of his dead friend.
The officer comes and he says, ‘I told you
not to be foolish! It was not worth it. Now
you know what you have done to your-
self. The friend is dead and you are dying!’
The dying man opened his eyes and he
said, ‘But it was worth it — because
when I went there, he looked at me and
he said, “Jim, I knew you would come.”‘
For love, life can be sacrificed — it is worth it.
But we have been taught just the con-
trary: sacrifice everything just to be
alive; just to survive, sacrifice everything.
I teach you the contrary: to be
loving, sacrifice everything.

How to Stop Losing Reception During a Storm
As a satellite subscriber, I am frustrated with losing reception
during a storm. The rain doesn’t have to be very hard for the sig-
nal to sputter in and out. As a result, I’ve missed out on some en-
tertaining programs and weather alerts due to the lost reception.
THE SOLUTION
There is a solution that I came across when talking to a sales-
person at a major electronics store. He recommended spray-
ing my dish with Pam or some other non-stick cooking spray.
The more I thought about it the more it made sense. Lost reception
is due to raindrops sticking to the dish, which causes it to receive sig-
nals erratically. Making the dish non-stick seemed like a good idea.
A few days later, I noticed lightning in the distance. I thought this was
the perfect opportunity to try this out, so I climbed up a ladder and
sprayed my satellite dish with Pam. The rain began almost as soon
as I finished spraying the dish, so I ran inside to check out the signal.
DID IT WORK?
To my surprise, the signal was as good as a bright, sunny afternoon. To
this date, I haven’t lost reception in a storm, though I must clarify that
my area hasn’t had much rain since that initial storm. I recommend
spraying the dish every three months to keep everything non-stick.
ANOTHER SOLUTION
If a dish is mounted to the side of a house, you could mount
a clear piece of fiberglass in front of the dish. The fiber-
glass would act as a shield for the dish. Water and other ele-
ments would not affect the dish’s ability to receive a signal.

4. T
his year (in 2016), the summer solstice
on 21st of June happened to be a full
moon day. The following full moon day
on 19th of July is the day Adiyogi started the
first yoga program, about 15,000 years ago.
Adiyogi means “first yogi.” He never both-
ered to introduce himself, nor did people
know his name, so they called him Adiyogi.
He did everything possible to ignore his first
seven disciples. Today, in India, these seven
disciples are celebrated as the Saptarishis,
the seven sages who are held as the basis of
all spiritual knowing – it was they who trans-
mitted it. They did everything possible to get
his attention – he did everything possible to
ignore them. He wanted to enjoy the ecstasy
of yoga that he experienced. He did not want
to teach. He did not want to be bothered
with anyone, but these guys hung around
for years. The lore says they were there for
nearly 84 years. We don’t know, but defi-
nitely they hung around for a very long time.
On the day of the solstice, 21st of June, Adi-
yogi was making certain arrangements within
himself. The relationship between the Earth
and the Sun goes through a certain change
during solstice and equinox. When these
changes happen, every yogi makes certain
changes within himself or herself. So when
he was making those changes, he looked
and saw these seven people sitting right
there. They had become so very receptive;
they were waiting for him to transmit what
he knew. When he looked at them, he could
not take his eyes off them. They had be-
come such shining receptacles that he could
not ignore them anymore. He paid attention
and observed them for the next 28 days.
We are in that 28-day phase right now – I am
looking at you. And on the next full moon
day, which is known as the Guru Purnima, the
birth of the first Guru – it happens to be on
19th of July this time – he could not help but
start teaching and transmitting what he knew.
He explored the dimensions of the body, the
energy system, the one hundred and twelve
chakras with which you can work, the five
pranas with which you can transform your
system, and the sixteen dimensions of the
mind. It took a long time to expound all this.
When he found none of the seven sages had
the intellectual breadth to grasp all the one
hundred and twelve ways, he divided them
into seven parts of sixteen each. He gave six-
teen ways to each one of them, so that they
at least carry that part of the knowledge.
The transmission started from the next full
moon day, but now is the time he paid atten-
tion to his seven disciples. This year is very
significant because once again, solstice and
full moon fall on the same day. This is a rare
happening. In the lore, it says he watched
them for twenty-eight days, which means
the solstice was on a full moon day. 2016, it
happens to be like that as well. We are all for-
tunate to be here together, this year. Your ed-
ucation systems, your cultural backgrounds,
do not teach you anything about turning in-
ward. They are all teaching you about doing
something outside – it is all about fixing the
world. We have fixed it so much that if we
fix it any more, there will be no world left.
All this fixing of the world, we did in pursuit
of human wellbeing. Fixing is happening, but
wellbeing has not happened, because wellbe-
ing will not happen unless you turn inward.
When I say turning inward – everything that
you perceive is through your five senses. Right
now, your entire experience of life is happen-
ing because of seeing, hearing, smelling, tast-
ing, and touching. In the very nature of things,
sense organs are outward bound. You can see
what is around you – you cannot roll your eye-
balls inward and scan yourself. If an ant walks
on your hand, you can feel it. So much blood
flows within you – you cannot feel it. The five
senses opened up only when you came out of
your mother’s womb, because this is essential
for your survival. If you want something more
than survival, which is the nature of the hu-
man being, you have to strive to turn inward.
How far is it? Should you go to a Himalayan
cave to do this? Let me tell you, all Himalayan
caves are taken – there is no accommodation
left there. You better learn to do it in Berlin.
I hear that you are very proud of breaking the
concrete wall, and I am very happy for you for
having done that. But it is time to break the
walls between the internal and the external.
For a long time, if you uttered the word “Ber-
lin,” people thought of the wall. Now Berlin
means people who broke the wall. That is a
good thing, but what about the walls between
the internal and the external? To turn inward,
you need a little striving. That little striving
is missing in societies. If only you knew how
the seat of your experience functions and
you took charge of it, you would definite-
ly generate the experience that you want.
Yousaidyouwantthehighestlevelofpleasant-
ness, not unpleasantness, for yourself. This is
true with every human being. We have never
focused on this in the world. If we create joy-
ful and sensible human beings, we will have a
great world. Now turning inward is not a far-
away thing. It is not difficult – it is just that it is
in a different direction than the way you have
been trained. You have always been trained
on how to fix the outside. You may fix every-
thing in the universe, but unless you fix your-
self, you will not know the beauty of this life.
I repeat myself, “In is the only way out.” In this
time before the Guru Purnima, make yourself
into a shining receptacle. Keep yourself in
such a way that your faculties of body, mind,
and emotions do not become an impediment.
I am in you.
Let’s make it happen.
Love & Grace,
