Video Description: He was happy being in the sunshine state of Florida. He mentioned about fundamentals of meditation.
Good meditation requires we place ourselves at 3rd eye center behind the eyes and meditate with love and devotion.
Physical body is one that creates physical experience for us and give us idea of material physical world around. Our only reality is therefore material physical reality outside of us. Inside this body, is the astral body- its more appropriate to call it body with sense perceptions i,e power to perceive through senses. If inner body does not function this body have no sensory perception. Those perception that can be created by inner eyes inner ears inner hands inner sense of smell all constitutes to astral body. If we cold separate our astral body we can look at this body as piece of flesh. Its like a costume we are wearing. The causal body is inside us because all events will happen will be caused by this body or it is called the mind. Thinking mind is not ourselves but also a body. We wear a mind on top we wear sense perception and on top physical body– 3 costumes we are wearing. Why are we wearing these bodies? Because each of this cover gives us experience and we like variety of experience because we are conscious beings! Consciousness survives on something it is conscious of! These experience are so different from each other that if we experiment via meditation we can experience each of these experience from these costume separately.
How we lose awareness of outer cover? When we die physical body die. To die in order to find out is not a good experiment ๐ How can we know it while we are alive in this body- We do this by die while living. Therefore, true meditation is called dying-while-living i.e. pull the attention away from the body while we are still alive!
We find out from experience we live on after we die. Secondly we will never be afraid of death after that. Losing fear of death we lose all fears. Doubt and fear are created by 3rd body i.e. mind, which has a thinking process it creates doubts. Thinking mind can create doubt for almost anything because mind does not have access to all knowledge and only operates with limited knowledge it has in front of it. Therefore unknown comes up and creates doubt and fear. Mind is just a machine not ourselves. We mistaken say I think we never think…we make our mind think! Sometime it starts thinking on its own when we doesn’t receive message from us. Then is starts guiding us what to do …most dangerous use of mind.
Mind is there to perform duty to interpret sense perceptions and then reassemble them and then use thinking process in words or images and make sense of things. If we don't instruct the mind- then mind randomly telling things to create fear and guiding us in the wrong direction.
How come we lost touch with our own power? Because we made a big blunder by identifying ourselves with mind and this body being us. What about the inner body? Sensory body has life of 1000-3000 years. What are we doing with that? We don’t know about it- what about the mind? Mind has age of 3-4million years. We occupying these 3 but we are one that last forever. Inside us is consciousness…its right inside if its not inside these outer covers will not operate. Therefore entire truth is lying inside us. Therefore spiritual journey is the shortest journey we can perform. We start from where we are now…we are operating from a single point of consciousness within us…its somewhere behind the eye…center of the head. He talked about throat and heart chakras etc. we are not starting journey on spirituality but energy experiences…that is all! They get lot of experiences of energies. He shared a story of GM trip in 1941-42 and also on his uncle who were disciple of Swami Brahmanand (who was also an ayurvedic clinic) where they had conversation on 18 centers. Baba Ji was also close to him and had fun conversations with him. He shared that GM boosted his ego and now he realised he trapped him with his Love as the love flows automatically from him. Our effective meditation starts from behind the eyes where we are in the wakeful state. When we are sleeping we are not there as it descends down in down chakras. In dreams its in the throat center.
Living and blind faith are very different. Blind is someone else experience and living is our own experience that grow. There are 8.4million species of life each specie can have trillions of life. Out of living thing we can observe about 80% of life we know exist in the dark water of the sea. We are minor occupant of this planet. All other forms of life are acting on instinct…they perform according to programing in them.
Only human specie is only one that thinks! Therefore have the EXPERIENCE of FREE WILL. Having choice we can seek..if we seek we will find (as spiritual literature says). The human being is one that is created at the highest level of creation. Man is made in the image of creator. In what ways? Creator is formless…what is similar is where creator has REAL will and we have the FREEDOM which looks like we have the free will. Free will is what makes us next to the creator. Problem are of mind, body and sense perception and our identification with these covers up on us. We can have dying while living, by withdrawal of attention to the 3rd eye center. It means pulling attention to back to where we are! Art of meditation is practice with all attention to ourselves….we will have same experience when we will in physical death. He talked out mental sense in the casual plane. Behind mind there is our self its one step behind God realisation as self soul is merely a unit of consciousnesses. No one has seen creator…because we are the creator. Self discovery is discovery of our soul which is in parbrahm beyond the mind and can be achieved while we are in this body. For effective meditation, all this mechanics doesn’t work as its mind made. What can pull us to ourselves…its something that belongs to soul and not mind. Yes…3 things. Love– it cannot be created by thinking. Intuition and finally sense of joy and Beauty. All these 3 comes from soul. Meditation needs to be done with Love and Devotion. We can take only posture in meditation but best is it should not be so easy we fall asleep hehehe…meditation helps with sleeping LOL.
