Meditation Techniques | Ishwar Puri

Orlando, Florida, Part 2 of 2

Video Description: Its not good enough to talk to talk but unless we do walk the walk. Its not as mysterious as we make it. If we want to find the path is particularly easy and its simple. Simple method is use our attention power of attention the only available power of consciousness we can use here by directing it wherever we like. Attention can move wherever we like so we can move it behind the eyes. Sense perception are not embedded in physical body. He described experiment of attention using an orange juice ๐ŸŠ experiment.

Another experience on sense perception where we close our eyes and in a very relaxed close eyes darkness in front by behind eyes there is a chamber…our meditation chamber. We place a chair place it behind the eyes sit on it comfortably..side of chair have a side table place a vase of flowers but they should be our favorite flowers…place a cup with our favorite drink and plate with favorite snack. After meditation he asked questions on remember taste of snack, drink, type of drink, change of flowers ๐ŸŒท change etc. Sense perception which were used were not physical based.

(~10min in…) He mentioned about flying up in sky without airplanes in meditation ๐Ÿง˜. Now purpose of meditation is to make sure that our attention is placed behind the eyes…that is the secret…if we can do that we have done 50% of meditation. If we are thinking of that place but other thoughts are taking us out then we haven’t sit inside. That;’s the main part which can take a lot of time. If you attention is all inside…you have done a big achievement. When we do it routinely like worship that doesn’t help..therefore we meditate behind the eyes there should be no thought other than what’s going on in there. Make sixth floor as firm as possible we intend to go higher not sink down!

Mind thinks of association attachments outside in order to solve this problem in meditation we devised a simple method…to direct your mind to repeat certain words (i.e. mantra of holy-words). He used example of Shakey pizza (14min in) to clarify why mantra/ simran needs to be something that does not divert focus outside. He shared advantages of initiation. If a PLM initiates you, accept responsibility of your journey…words he gives you…they carry a certain power…charged into the words by the PLM they become a shield against negativity. The secret of repetition of mantra is it should NOT be repeated by tongue…but we must LISTEN to the words that are being repeated. Must repeat every word clearly and HEAR IT!

He shared a 'secret' that mind speaks but soul listens to it!

He discouraged on repeating things like a parrot. He did a live meditation on this meditation of repeating the words and listen to the words. He mentioned about power of imagination is used where our physical reality in order to station ourselves in the 6th floor behind the eyes. Don’t put strain on the eyes. No effort put in physically to imagine…only pure imagination from our astral-self and that makes us feel we are there…then we repeat the words with the mind not with the tongue. He shared a quotation of Kabir in Hindi (23min in). He shared a light joke which he shared with a smile (24 min in).

Most important thing in meditation is it must be done with Love and Devotion. Love pulls beyond the mind. Initiates have a great advantage that a physical being they have seen..they can remember that can create an image. To visualise image of a master (not a photograph) a LIVE picture from live experience it helps a LOT in meditation. We must have a PLM living master as only a living master can say no to us. Mind makes up all this and we go beyond the mind. Secondly a living master manifests himself…once we have seen him in reality he remains real in every other level right up to the true home. He shared story of Sheik Farid and his son for their PLM Sheikh Qutbuddin (30min). He shared an experiment of flying with the astral body. PLMs are sitting in this body but operating in all levels. Once we are initiated by a PLM he NEVER leaves us till we reach our home…and then we become like him โค Why do we meditate so much if he loves us somebody so much we will go where he goes. Real spirituality is love and devotion…why meditate? To satisfy our mind, effort do more are not meant for the soul but mind. Mind likes to struggle. Masters give us homework to do meditation. Later we realise effort does not go anywhere…its only grace that matters! We always like to TRY it ourselves but we find out effort is not possible without grace โค When we get grace…we feel like making bigger effort but later we find everything was grace. They are our best friends as their love is unconditional. They love us whether we love them or not.

There was a Question and Answer session. Before that he shared everyone with imaginary astral gifts. Method of getting gift is to close eyes and while sitting there imagine we have gone up to top of the building…and look if there is a package waiting for you…pick it up and open it with eyes closed. When master goes…then we believe in our mind. Religion has sprung from spirituality. He shared a story of monastery how prayers are done by Buddhist monks. The monks that were chanting which Baba Ji loved and their mantra is very simple. But it makes us feel light but not enlighten to we who really are…there is limitation of what Chants can do. He shared a joke of an American investigator to see how Buddhist monks perform their rituals on transcribing parchment. (51min in…) 7 generation benefits from one initiates.
