Our Mind Creates Obstacles | Ishwar Puri

Sebastopol (CA), Part 1 of 6

Video Description: He started talking about learning English and stopping letter ‘s’. He realised ‘s’ contains some of the most significant words that has effected his life (sant mat, sath guru, simran, satsang, sachkhand). Paht of the masters (sant mat) is the Sath guru…if no master no sant mat. The key obstacle returning home is our own mind…that comes in the way of our progress. Its a generator of doubts and fears. If we want to reading of books, listening speeches who is interpreting them our own mind.

A PLM does not rely up on scriptures…he is not a learned person…he speaks directly from his experience. Therefore PLM is essential if you want to practice spiritual path…he has to be ‘perfect’ in sense he has attained state of consciousness that goes beyond the mind. Therefore its quite possible PLM working for us, coming to us uses the mind like we do but behind that he uses something else that does not belong to the mind…he uses the power of love. He functions at our level and explains things to us through mind but truth is PLM is not a teacher….we love to be taught…otherwise his method is to draw us with his pure love. Ultimately nothing succeed on spiritual path except love an devotion. Rest is to keep mind from interfering therefore Love & Devotion is unmatched with any Love and devotion we have ever seen. We mistake attachment as love. In love the beloved replaced the ‘i’…ego has no place in it. (11min~) PLM has not come to look at our minds…he has come to look at our soul and he can see it therefore his love becomes unconditional with no judgement at all. He wants to take us back beyond the mind, the unconditional love is such…you will find he will never judge. He is just like us, dies like us but his level of consciousness is not tied up to worldly things. Consciousness give life to mind and life to physical body…we create experience in ourselves. When we have physical body whole material becomes alive.

(16min) There is a world existing beyond this world which we experience after death. Physical body blocks us seeing that world…can we have access to that state of other world while we are still in this body i.e. alive in this body before we die…is it possible to die while living? The process is simple…dying is a process of leaving the body…life force of astral body is withdrawing in a certain way. How about simulating this? If we find out there is a single point behind these eyes…where we eventually die physically…the whole of attention is withdrawn and we say brain dead…how about putting our attention DELIBERATELY at THAT point. What is that point? People have called it single-eye, 3rd eye, point, center of consciousness, center of wakeful consciousnesses. What if we image and pretend we are there…what would happen? If we think only of that…we notice we don’t know where our feet and hands are gone…precisely same order of withdrawal as it takes place in real death. So we can simulate death itself and have it while we are living. In this process, we become unaware of this body…we are still alive! We have different kind of body with same perception (see, touch, smell etc). At lower level we sleep…its withdrawal of attention of this body into dream state…we have dream body that runs around having a dream. What is that body? Where does that come from? Position of eyes shift we will touch nose thinking we are touching eyes. Many studies have been done on dreams but not enough on consciousness focus on eye center behind not below. Its first step in realising this physical body is not ourselves. Its a cover up on us and real self is operating within this body. He talked about out of body experience (26min~). The gateway to understanding this body is not ourselves is behind the eyes. He talked about 9 apertures- open outwards to connect us to world outside not not inside. 10th door is behind the eye- 3rd eye..that is the door outside the physical body. Its important to have experiential evidence via meditation- aka art of withdrawing attention behind the eye.

When we can have experience of life after death while we are living…we can experience everything we can dream off..including origin of consciousnesses. This is not a religion to open inner door. Its not a society, or any group, or any gender, race, country …belongs to all human beings without any exceptions. Its a gift given to us physical human body is distinguished from all other living forms. There are 8.4million living beings over half are in plant kingdom itself many under the ocean…all living things all have consciousness in different forms and yet out of all these species there is only one i.e. human being which has unique power to go back and touch all the centers within the body and have access to what is before and after life and merge into origin of consciousnesses while sitting in this physical body. What makes human special is experience of free-will…only we alone have that experience. We think we make our own destiny…we make choice everyday using our free will. This experience of free will is so unique no other species have it. Others work by instinct what’s in their DNA. Not even angles in heaven do that as they have knowledge of what will happen. Future is totally silent so we fill in blank therefore this experience of free will is unique experience. We have this because of our ignorance…ignorance is bliss! What if we knew the future…we would have no free will. But we don’t know we are ignorant therefore we say we have free will…experience is so real.

What is reality- that which we experience as real.

(40min~) Ignorance can be so valuable…if we see whole order of creation…individuated souls…descending to next order of creation and attached to mind which creates time and space and creates law of events on cause and effect (law of causation). This is all comes down to Law of Karma…karma means if we do something bear the consequences (good is rewarded, bad is punished). We are unaware of capability of withdrawing of attention to the 3rd eye center which assists us towards the 10th door. The consciousnesses which is our real self is being fooled by our covers we are wearing we think reality is outside. (47min~) He talked about sense perception and one cause and effect. What happens we pull our attention to 3rd eye center…all our reality we are seeing is from the consciousness. The mind will never accept this. The only way to know it is to go within that point which is available to all of us. If we want to find who we are…the only way to test it out is to go within ourselves. Whatever we experience is we take it as real.

Our definition of reality is based on cross-checking same system of perception that exist for that reality. One time we only experience one reality. Suppose we finally awake- and what do we find? The process of going to the final awakening state we find there is only one totality of consciousness where everything was created out of it. He talked about pain, suffering, terrorism it looks like a terrible creation…why He created all this? Doesn’t make sense at all…experience itself whether sensory or non-sensory takes place by comparison of the opposite. Without darkness we will never see light. Without unhappiness we would not know what happiness is…the entire experience of consciousness is existing in pair of opposite…world of duality…therefore we find immense suffering get out of it…the immense suffering where we are in state of being where there is no suffering…the created suffering…illusion of suffering makes happiness absolutely blissful. All based up on all pairs of opposite. He talked about two kinds of souls- hans and buns. The view point of each level of consciousness is different. If one gets initiated who is seeking the truth, and mediates he/she see form as real as outside of the teacher…and that form with some practice stays with us FOREVER! Its a permanently present friendship…that’s a great relationship…its friendship between true friends.

The freewill alone makes us a seeker…therefore does not how real and unreal it is…it gives us power to seek and we are a seeker we are a candidate to go back home. Seek in our heart, mind, head ask to go back to our true home…by coincidence PLM will come into our lives…whole secret is seeking. That’s why free will and human body is so important as its the only form that can seek. The difference is in awareness between us and our teacher. He does ShShSh like us (shit, shave and shower) (1hr 5min). He gradually gives us awareness stage by stage and showing us that body is the last costume we are wearing for the local show here. He talked about free will in more detail that who recorded it…when we go to the top we will find out we recorded it…therefore its really free will but we don’t find out till the very end. (1hr 8min) Most of us do believe in God…definition of God who is omniscient (knows everything), omnipotent and omnipresent.

(1hr 8min)- He talked about freewill in his Harvard University days and talked about a student who discovered ‘secret’ of freewill. Baba Ji invited him and asked him if he would like to have tea, coffee or nothing. Free will is a trap that creates karma…experience of free will is real, forced up on us. Then Baba Ji said same thing in his support that we really do have a free will. It looks like we are making a choice but there really is no real choice.

(1hr 12min)- A question and answer (Q&A) session took place. The metaphysical answer is nothing is real except power to establish what looks real. We don’t use power of consciousness to create illusion. We have created realities. When we see a PLM talking to us…its our own self talking to us…an arranged we made before we came here. What is forever…there is no forever its created with mind….when we ascend the mind…forever ends ❤ Time is a created experience. The level of casual stage that’s where we record and change our destiny…through meditation we can see that stage.

(1hr 20min)- There is no time and space there…there are no beings like here…they exist in consciousness…it creates experience of many-ness and that is what we call individuated soul. Seek highest truth inside….seek that inside…master will find and seek you. Sound current is in all of us…but we are unaware of it. Seeking is only true use of freewill but otherwise its quite uncomfortable when we have to make hard decisions. Free will becomes a big trap…but seeking is a good use of freewill. Someone asked about Baba Jamil Singh Ji (1hr 25min) who was a student of Shiv Dayal Singh at Agra…baba ji shared that beautiful story of Jamil Singh Ji missing his beloved master after being blind-folded. Masters do that to prevent us from distraction from other worlds…they block our visual experience…take us higher up and then open up the blind-fold. We feel lot of closeness but we don’t see anything in the meditation…don’t worry we are blind-folded to help us not being distracted.

In this life is build of karma…if we had no karma we won’t be here…how would we be there? We are to experience give and take, pain and pleasures of life…therefore everything we do is in process of karma. There is a karma we created as a cause in past life (Prarabdha)…we pay off in this life time. Then karma is deliberately…that’s the cause (kriyamana)…the cycle keeps going on. Since we create more than we burn off karma…karma is created by mental intention. The excess karma keep going in sanchit reservoir karma. Reservoir also effects our attitude/ sanskar…events take place in this life is due to past life but attitude towards events based up on several past life karma. Difficulty is we cannot accept pay-off karma…we cannot cancel karma out they all stand alone itself…we in our own conscience develop our own morality. We are makers of our own morality in our minds….action we think is evil is punished…action which is good is rewarded. All actions we take here has consequential result as a part of karma. In general, whenever we want to do something generates less karma to go with God’s will, master’s will and not our (unless its aligned with God). Which is God’s will? He talked about Rumi at the end of the video of what is God’s will…which is where ‘Go with the flow’ was explained…which would help us reduce level of karma. Big reservoir karma after initiation that entire karma is destroyed. Then rebirth can be from karma from this life and generally better than this life.
