Video Description: He starts with PLM come to help us go to our true home. This world is like a carnival and we come to see the show but we forget and get entangled…like little children โค If child leaves hand of their parents, then things that look wonderful become dreadful as they are no longer attractive…we are in the same situation. We come into this world to enjoy but what happened…we lost touch with where we belong and now finding whole thing monstrous and made our stay here unhappy and painful ๐ฆ We came here for temporary visit but forgotten this truth. We begin to identity our self with our physical body which is nothing more than costume we have to wear on the physical plane. Its like wearing a jacket and I am the jacket. The truth is our soul is immortal and it is just wearing a series of costumes.
In order to find who we are…we have to make sure what these covers up on us are. Beside clothes, the inner cover is our physical body…its the most wonderful thing created in the physical world! Reason is- in this physical body we are able to wrap up not our own self but also our creator and all creation we see around us. The biggest miracle of body is that it holds consciousness in life and make everything become aware.
What makes us conscious around us is consciousness itself.
The fact this human body has another feature which is not available anywhere else…the ability to make choices! The experience of free-will. We are very unique because of this. This feeling of free will only occurs in two levels one in human body and Totality of Consciousness level.
Man is made in the image of the Creator/ God. It means God has the will to create and man also has (experience) of free will.
Free will help us seek the truth. Therefore, a human being can become a seeker. Seeking should be in our mind and heart. If we seek we find means to seek…when we seek we come across a teacher who can tell us how to find. When seeking is intense…one is ready for a spiritual journey…by coincidence at that time we run into a PLM โค
The Totality of consciousness where individual consciousness is born is only one and belongs to all creation. If someone WAS a great teacher we are truly relying up on our own mind, so teacher might have been greatest teacher and gone away can be an inspiration for us but they cannot help us find the truth because we use our mind to think of whatever we want to think therefore we translate those teachings that suits our mind.
Physical body is a costume then inside we are wearing another costume. The inner garment is called an astral body that contains the sense perception (see, touch, taste, smell etc.). Physical body is dependent on inner body. Inner body which has sense perception existed before we obtained this physical body.
The mind is a power tool it is responsible for creating time and space. Its important and wonderful thing to create experience of the world around us. We think experience is real and then we have no other reality to compare it with…so reality intensifies and we do not know where our thoughts coming from etc. Mind creates time and space causation its still not our self…its a thinking machine.
We don’t say our mind is thinking we say I am thinking like that…we have identified our self with the mind. This mis-identification is shutting down our knowledge to find our true self. The three bodies (physical, astral and casual) we were to overcome then…then we will know who we are โค Physical body lives more than 100 years, Astral 3000 years and mind does not go beyond 3Million years…all are temporary and die …we however NEVER die โค
The method to find our self is change direction where we are looking. Look into yourself to find your own reality. We look outside we know we are behind the eyes somewhere not any where else in the head. Consciousness is operating from a single-point within this body. That point is in the head right behind the eyes. We are looking at the world with two eyes…giving depth of vision. We are seeing one image being formed in the middle of head not outside! Many description have been given in religious literature that there is a third-eye center (a single eye).
The light of the body is the eye: if. therefore thine eye be single, thy. whole body shall be full of light. (Matthew 6:22)
This is not metaphorically we actually see light. Withdraw the attention to the center of the head. He emphasised the value of attention! We train ourselves to look outside, we lost touch on how to reverse the focus of attention. Therefore most important thing is how to withdraw attention to our self behind the eyes. He mentioned about alcohol and drugs will not help who we are. He talked about imagination being a great tool to help power of attention to concentrate where we want it. Imagine sitting in the center of the head we can withdraw our attention.
Take this body has a house and this house has 6 floors (based up on six chakras/ energy-levels). We are sitting on the sixth floor behind the eyes…make it easy we are there and practice art of withdrawing attention.
Energy is a function of consciousness.
The source of knowledge of who we are must come from above the eyes. He talked about Sawan Singh Ji in this video. He shared an interesting story from 1941 of Swamiji who taught pranayama yoga who had an interesting rendezvous with GM Sawan Singh Ji.
He talked about Harvard University experience (56 minute in video) about two professors there who experimented with Mexican mushrooms etc. who was expelled from university (one was Baba Ramdass) and Prof. Timothy Leary who set up Church of Boohoo. He shared story of being invited to this party there ๐
Key requirement for meditation is when we do meditation, body should not be in pain…be natural…does not mean we go to sleep. We must practice being behind the eyes…use imagination as a tool to say ‘you are there’. Imagination is pure function of consciousness. Therefore, the natural process of discovering our-self is to use imagination without struggling with the body.
He mentioned about maintaining good health by not consuming too much junk food. Eat less, eat vegetarian which cause LEAST stress in the mind. Power of concentration of mind is effected by what we eat and do. He talked about us having 8 senses. Sixth sense is intuition, Seventh sense is commonsense and finally Eighth sense is…Sense of Humor ๐
Preparation of spiritual path does not take place quickly. It can take several life-times. As seeking grows we become ready for our own spiritual destination. When Master looks at us he sees our whole past. He shared a story of a friend of his and his brother and family who came to hear Ishwar Ji’s talk who told Ishwar Ji this is what they have been seeking since their childhood. Therefore, preparation of spiritual path takes a long time till we are ready…then we meet a PLM. He used an example of a group of blind people on how we meet a PLM โค
Its PLM’s responsibility to take us back home 100% guaranteed. He picks up marked-sheep/ soul to take them back home. Why he teaches meditation? To satisfy our mind not our soul. Soul does not feel it belongs here. Mind keeps us here with desires and attachment. Soul is an internal thing. Mind thinks, it rationalises, communicates…Mind cannot create joy, bliss, intuition or…LOVE โค Soul functions from beyond time and space but mind does however. Attachment comes from mind not soul. Soul is yearning to go back home. When we are ready…soul is met by a soul of a PLM. When doubt comes…fear comes with it…fear comes from the unknown when we are afraid. These are product of the mind they are REMOVED if we live IN the spirit. Mind is a great machine to communicate and thinking but we are trapped into thinking we are the mind. We did not come to this world to suffer we came to see a SHOW of pain and disappointment (as spectators). But we forgot it is a show and treat it as real life. What teaching help us train the mind and how we can transcend the mind.
There is a question and answer session in this video (~1hr 25min). Soul is a great listener not a speaker.
The speaker is always the mind...listener is always the Soul.
The sound is a wonderful experience it enhances the role of listener. In order to communicate with us PLM uses mind as much as we do.
Kundalini...its yogic experience from lower chakra back into your spine its an energetic experience but not experience of awareness but energy.
He talked about different chakras on our body. Spine is like a lift and also about spiritual progress of a student. He talked about having more coincidences as you make spiritual progress. When we sleeping having a dream….someone says are we dreaming? Is 20 people dreaming or one? When we wake up there was only one! Therefore, mind creates all..its a creation of one mind! The process of illusion creates this reality. He talked about how does law of karma works. 3rd Eye Center is where we are operating from. We are reversing our attention to its source. Meditation techniques of imagining we are sitting on the sixth floor and imagine we ARE the point inside. Mind cannot create love, joy and bliss.
Love only comes from the soul.
Soul functions spontaneously not in time and space where as mind operates from time and space. Attachment is an experience of the mind. Mind has a very special nature of creating…doubts! Its both a thinking and doubting machine. If you are doubtful of something we are afraid. Fear is a direct consequence of doubt for the unknown. So doubts and fear are the product of the mind and removed if we live in the soul. We did not come to suffer disappointments we came to see the SHOW of disappointments! Its the intimacy with the show which causes misery. Even after meeting a PLM…try to control the mind…its a machine we are using. A simple meditation to help that mind is not our-self we make progress inside.
Experience (something that happens in time and space) are of the mind...soul is the experiencer.
If you know who is experiencing that’s a spiritual knowledge. All the creation in space and time is mental. Mind is very powerful that is why all experiences takes place in the realm of the mind. Soul is a great listener. Time and space is a creation for expanded experience and we can have experience without time and space.
GM talked about 18 chakras…6 are below the eye center…6 are go straight back from the eye-center within the head and 6 are above the head. Its a programmed structure of a human body. He talked about hell (which is opposite of heaven). Why is there a hell? Its there to experience heaven! Nothing can be experienced in time and space without its opposite. Every experience pain and pleasure is a pain of opposites. So hell and heavenly experience with same concept as they are both experiences of the mind. Above mind there is no hell, heaven or pair of opposites. So how can we experience something that’s ABOVE the pair of opposites!!!!?? We experience it because in relation to the world creation here it is created as its opposite.
He referred to the Bible of a story of a child that was born blind. Jesus Christ answered it is neither sin of the child or father it is the law may prevail i.e. law of karma! Law of karma has a strange significance to it…good karma does not wipe out bad karma. He shared a really goofy story of an atheist and a bear.
He talked about so many worlds existing in physical and above planes. If we can go into infinity into all directions. Three globes make two fish. He talked about Jesus feeding two fish to thousands of people, about ghosts. We remove our physical body after death. The meditation technique teaches us how to vacate this body while we are alive…what we experience after we die. He explained about the experience of dying while living. We can experience our higher bodies while we are alive. He shared story of his father who was initiated by GM. He was scared that he felt like he was leaving his body but GM reassured his father no one in history has died while meditation. He does not recommend unguided meditation for anybody.
He shared the concept of drop of water and being the ocean and also about universal mind (2hrs 3min). He shared about Aristotle example of willing suspension of disbelief…therefore drama can be real for sake of experience. He shared story of Ben Kingsley playing Gandhi on how he embedded his mind into believing he IS Gandhi.
He talked about reality and illusion. The power of illusion in consciousness is used so effectively to create levels of reality not level of illusions. A creation must exist to have a creator. If there is nothing to be consciousness of how can it be conscious. Therefore, the creation and creator are all inevitable if there is a conscious experience. He talked about book by Kabir “Ocean of Love”.
God is Love.
If God is love, love can be experienced to experience it all the senses were created. We all experience love (even animals). He talked about grand disillusion (mahapralaya). Pralay means disillusion. Whole universe can be dissolved. Grand disillusion in physical experience is nuclear bomb, universe clashing etc. in physical reality. Grand disillusion is everything in time and space.
He shared fascinating story of Kabir who shared stories with his student (Dharamdas) on devolution of consciousness (2hrs 18min).
Beginning, middle and end is what creates time and space.
Doesn’t mind creates a PLM also? Yes it does! But the consciousness of own’s self is not from here but is being placed in the shadow so one can wake with the help of a shadow. Real Master is always inside us we don’t see him inside so he jumps out as a part of the show. He talked about Swami Vivekananda about his talk in Chicago about reality and illusion.
Spoken knowledge is never real its only AID to real knowledge.
Near end very beautiful secret shared by him….The speech is meant for the mind not soul…soul is effected by the love our teacher/ friend show. That love is so pure it keeps on taking us higher. Answers for the seeker is for the mind as thoughts keep our focus scatter elsewhere. Mind wants to distract us…its because mind is trying to self-survive. Mind asserts itself through thinking. Mind is our greatest enemy and when it turns around it becomes greatest friend. It loves all kinds of pleasures. Its seeking pleasure all the time…variety of pleasures. When through meditation keeping mind at bay then mind itself has a good taste of inner pleasure and then mind helps us with meditation…then meditation becomes very easy!
