Video Description: He talked about value of living master on the spiritual path. We should be careful with not being mislead by our own mind if we don’t have a living master and mind is our greatest obstruction. Secret of spiritual path lies within us nothing to be found outside. True master is within us. Master comes in human form like us. Master appearing in his radiant/ astral form remains with us forever. Once being initiated by master in human form inner master remains with us forever who guides us back to our true home. Our journey back home is to meeting the real master within…he takes full responsibility to take us back home via all regions of consciousness. Our experience of bliss and joy is intensified after we came down here. Everything we experience is built in pair of opposites (duality)- the perfect world becomes opposite of the ‘imperfect’ home. Why do we have to create so much miseries all this to have negative experience to have positive experience? This is a created experience. Process of illusion has been used to create this reality. When we go away from duality we say ‘Thank God it was created from consciousness ultimately everything we experience is experience of consciousness…reality is nothing else but reality of consciousness all show is taking place in that. The seeking is built into us- we don’t have to develop seeking its there…we need to get mind out of the way which prevents a seeker from seeking and keep us distracted by our desires and attachments. There is no law of karma beyond the mind (casual stage).
How souls never left (bulk of them) are called buns and we are called the hans. Buns are singing and dancing in bliss and we hans dance and jump even more. (9min) It is possible to humans have access to knowledge of life after death without dying. Below eyes body functions with energy-centers and above eyes functions with awareness. All those energetic experience going through different centers below the eyes does not given any high awareness but above and behind eyes we get into higher awareness. PLM have told us in wakeful state we are center of the eye don’t go down therefore start journey from eyes and go upwards. Yoga practice to bottom and reach where they started compared with petal of lotus.
There are 18 centers in all but most yogis focus on 6 centers. PLM tell us we don’t nee to go down but up. Its much easier to go lower center (heart as an example) than 3rd eye center behind the eyes…we are used to dropping attention below. When we dream occurs because we have dropped our attention from eye to throat center. He talked about rapid eye movement. The secret of good meditation is to withdraw the attention behind the eyes reverse the direction of the attention.
Withdrawal of attention is OPPOSITE of concentration of attention.
(18min) He talked about using imagination as a tool to help pull us back. During our wakeful state when we start meditation its important to remember we have to withdrawal our attention to that point not focus on it. To withdraw we have to imagine we are sitting, have a different kind of picture our body is a house. There are six floors/ level and the 6th floor is right behind the eyes. He has shared his meditaiton tips from his own experience. Baba Ji never read any Sant Mat books until he moved to the United States. We have to imagine being in the center of the head before we start the meditation. Path is based on experience not on blind faith. He emphasized on we don’t make spiritual path into a ritual like religion- the truth must be found now which is on path of the masters…we can find heaven while are alive we can do it, its all sitting there…its lying in us. The difference between us and PLM is we have same thing they have high level of consciousness/ awaken to level where how this whole show was generated and originated we haven’t. Come to the railroad, airport and we will travel together. (But why does he not come to our home and take us to the station or airport โค ๐ (29min) Mind is a huge block as it doesn’t let us go beyond casual plane. Mind is merely a machine- he emphasized that make practical use of meditaiton do not leave it as something to believe in (like going to temple or church). The path of masters is not a religion at all. What is inside us belongs to all humanity, all of us. Masters are teaching so common to all of us its nondiscriminatory- they come to pick up the marked souls who is in their list. When does not arise in Sachkhand. We never left our home but we left the consciousness to our home and all we are doing is get that consciousness back through different levels. Mind cannot understand therefore we make it into context of time and space frame to explain the mind- it does not exist in our true home. The truth is everything at once and its impossible to describe with our minds on what lies beyond it. Therefore, we make story of this for sake of sort of inducement. We are tied up with desires and attachment we don’t try anything- we like shortcuts in the illusion of this world. We say we are the body- we don’t realise these are just means given to us for different experience. Mind itself is an accessory to experience time and space- experience of karma.
He went in details on Time. True time is not what it is…we think future is not there yet…we have to travel to the future by time passing…past has gone therefore creates history. Truth is all the past, and future is laid out…time is stationary and all the events have been built and produced outside the mind..we are time-traveling (39min) through those experience. There is a great illusion of time created in us. Everything we experience is happening in NOW i.e. PRESENT. But where is the present what is the dimension of present? Zero. We are calling an immediate past as present. What is past? If we cannot experience anything than now, how we experience past? -memory. Therefore, past is merely remember it. There is no time in it. Look at the future- consist of an activity , hope (positive), fear (negative) and anticipation (neutral). Einstein said time is different in different part of the universe. The spiritual path is do no rely up on anything outside but rely inside. He said the word ‘s’ that he values in his life (shabd, satsang- company of truth, sound etc.)
Satsang means company of Truth
Satsang means sharing information on the path, getting inspiration from each other. Importance of satsang is to help mind get back on track and that’s why importance is its a fence against the wily mind that wants to run out. Best satsang is where we can listen to the master himself. Master does not speak on books- hearing truth directly from someone who is experiencing directly at that time. Immediately after satsang best to meditate as mind is not distracted. But if it is mere talk its meaningless. What is our priority in life? Its worldly obligations – raising family job etc. Everything else is more important so how we expect the results? are life with change if we change priorities- Priority No. 1 Spirituality โค (50min) This body is so temporary and we are working so much for this body…what about health of our mind? We don’t care…its good to have healthy body to do meditation but it should not be the only priority. This life is short, life after this is long, life after that is immortal! We have never gone to Astral- our actions here is building up what we will get at Astral plane. There is no free will like this kind in the astral plane. End of this life can come at any time. Physical body is fragile and in case die no matter how strong it is and we make plans ๐ He joked (in a serious manner) of how people around his age are planning what they will do in 10-20 years time even if one foot is in the grave. If we over plan and don’t care what happens after then we regret death suddenly over takes us (oh I wish I had done that). What kind of preparation is that- if we prepared for life we should be prepare for death. He shared story of Alexander the Great (57min). Point of story is we get so attached to things and nothing will go with us- where is our priority? Nothing goes with anybody. He shared story of a royal family from India- he died many years ago and boxes he bought was still unopened. Make going within as priority and find our true home while we are still here in this physical body and die in content and in peace (1hr 2min). We didn’t come here to face miseries…we came here for adventure which consists of ups and downs (pair of opposite) and we wanted to go back home and got trapped here…someone is telling us how to go out…way out is within ourselves. True temple is within us we are carrying.
People even designed old shape of worship face of our head. Many place of worship were externalized to remind us real thing is right inside our-self. We are getting symbolic messages day and night to remind us what to do with physical body and to go within. We worship outside things by going to man made places but forget God made places. We destroy man made places of worship in name of same creator. In name of religion, of God look at history- destroyed temples that created by God in order to protect temple created by man. Is 2.5 hours meditaiton enough? GM said no- how 2.5 hours discovering ourselves enough and remaining focus on outside world. One part of meditation is repetition of words (simran) and that repetition can be done at anytime. We can do while walking, cooking etc. If we do this in our head we extend time of meditation. Other way- thinking of master while doing work- its meditation. When we go to sleep, we repeat words…we are doing meditation at all times. Don’t think meditaiton is just by eyes closed…meditaiton is if we are thinking of the master. Even mechanical habit will help towards spiritual growth. (1hr 10min) He talked about initiation, being skeptic etc. and then returned back on the path. GM said being a skeptic is great to remove hurdle of mind. PLM encourages question the whole thing- people believe quickly then cannot keep it up lose it as quickly;y but those with questions have satisfied their mind stay on path…therefore must ask question.
He joked at the end about ‘Old man’s club’ for inviting 3 people for lunch with him who were over 85 โค
