Evaluate Yourself
By Yogi Bhajan, PhD
I WAS GIVEN THIS LESSON ON MY THIRD BIRTHDAY.
Evaluate yourself for three minutes
every morning and for five minutes every twilight. You will never miss anything which can serve you or bring you the best.
It's eight minutes of self evaluation. Do it religiously. Evaluate yourself by blessing your head, nose, ears, eyes, mouth,
teeth, throat, chest, arms and belly every morning. Just tell them, "Be with me and be nice." In the evening for
five minutes, bless your ten toes and fingers, earlobes and top of the ears. It's an acupuncture. Bless every part of
the ears and you'll be a new person.
You must evaluate and assess yourself. After blessing your body in the evening,
bless your good deeds of the day. In the morning bless your good thoughts. Your environments, life, your power, projection
and behavior will become the best. You have to bless every part of the body with touch. These are your friends. In the first
three minutes, at the dawn of your consciousness, befriend your being physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the evening,
befriend your being in detail. This you can teach a three year old.
WHAT SEES IN YOUR EYES? SOUL.
What hears
in your ears? Spirit. What talks through your tongue? What moves your legs? What moves your hands? What beats your heart?
What pumps your lungs? What works your diaphragm? What moves your bowels? What keeps your throat wet? The spirit of your Soul.
Have you thanked It today? Why not? Everything in your being is being moved by the spirit of your Soul. Feel It, thank It,
praise It, understand It. It will serve you ten times better. Talk to It, befriend It.
