Sound Current is Manifestation of Consciousness | Ishwar Puri

Sebastopol (CA), Part 4 of 6

Video Description: Video started with Jo Mange Thakur being sung by fellow co-travelers with Baba Ji listening to the song โค He welcomed friends, and he enjoyed the bhajan. In short the song verses it covers entire santmat whatever you want you will get it…of course we want sincerely from the soul. He talked about grace by PLM putting hands on our head โค Seeker is higher because he can draw the master. Gurmukh has guru in his hands…who’s love and devotion towards the master has master in his hands โค He spoke about use of attention…it is placing of attention behind the eyes that helps with meditaiton. Nothing else is under our control what is around us we canbe aware of it but cannot know any part of it unless we put attention on it.

He talked about 3 terms to use- Consciousness (it is ability to be aware/ experience) Awareness is small section of consciousness which we are immediately aware (rest is blocked) Attention is further part of awareness it is that special tool we have in our consciousness to move like a probe to whatever we are ware of and put attention on it. (5min) To make something less or more aware is the SECRET of meditaiton. We can put our attention wherever we like and place concentration on it. All human beings have power of attention to place it wherever they like. We cannot shift awareness too much its all around us. Ability to MOVE attention is the secret to help us go behind our eyes to the 3rd eye center. (8min) He talked about the orange juice experiment, where we imagine body is made of hollow glass like a jar shaped like a body. Imaginatively we will fill it up with juice from toes, feet right to the top of the head. We will provide experience tips of finger have values…press them we will release juice. He talked about value of imagination in meditaiton. Eyes are the dome and in this dome 6th floor behind eyes we have to imagine sitting in the center- this is where meditaiton starts. Don’t associate meditation for something OUTSIDE the body. (14min) The 6th Floor behind the eye is our meditation room. Make floor very strong. Hold the attention imaginatively being there and looking around. Open your eyes welcome back…

He emphasised value of starting meditation from the 3rd eye center. There is a tendency to sleep therefore reason to make the sixth floor strong. Put the best chair there and go there for meditation. However, thoughts distracted us and take us away. Therefore we substitutes the thoughts via simran to replaces words of thoughts but why not give shakey pizza as words to repeat ๐Ÿ™‚ The words given to repeat has association that is something happening inside. When we rise in spiritual journey at higher level of consciousness you will find meaning of those words. On top of that, when words are given they charge them with property to repel negativity. Its necessary because when we are trying to meditate there could be negativity around us don’t allow us to go in- they make sure repetition of these words help us go in but prevent negativity getting in both outside and inside. There are many ways of repetition words like a parrot…he doesnt know what he is doing! That is not the purpose of it all…

Simran is only good if our attention is on LISTENING to those words!

Soul and mind are two variables included for this purpose…mind speaks all languages the soul listens. If we remember this we will see importance of listening. If we don’t listen to words and mind will jump to another level start making comments on what I am doing! That’s mind commenting about simran we are trying to do. (25min) He quoted Kabir to explain this. He told NOT to repeat like parrot. What is mind brings another voice- don’t try to fight that make that also do simran. Eventually there is a chorus going in the head of the simran. This is a practical tip by him. If we do effective meditaiton via simran…hold attention there…we will start hearing all kinds of sounds. The sound coming from different sides. We will associate with external sounds via our ears. We are used to it therefore associate that way. Real sound comes from the center and above. The real sound of the bell power to pull us that comes from the center and from top. Before that happens we can listen to other sounds for practice of listening to sounds (chirping of birds, constant echo, train comes and stops at covered platform). There are 10-12 sounds just by sitting there but they don’t have the pull but they are good enough to practice on how to listen and stay in the center. They can come from different sides. Listen to sound from right-side (of the brain is more intuitive). When the real sound comes it comes directly from the center. When we have reached that sound…that is the royal road to your home…forget everything else (including simran). It has such a hum in it which carries us up. Sound is pulling us…it comes by practice we don’t need simran.

Once it starts coming we hear it ALL the time! We don’t even have to close our eyes…it pull us. Its really miraculous!!! (32min) That is why its called Surat Shabd Yoga…its designed for kalyug…just need inner guidance. A PLM manifest in us during initiation we can see him, talk to him. When we see master inside use words given to drive away negativity or made up mind that image will disappear. Not only that, since we see the face of master…more importantly than rest of the body…the most important part is the eyes and forehead. No negative powers can make up eyes and forehead.

(35min) He spoke in details about consciousness and its correlation with sound. A Q&A session followed right after this. Simran, sound comes switch to sound…put more attention on it…ride with it. Sound current go upwards with it. We do lose our-self, our body and rising up and that is part of the game and fly in another sky…another universe opens up. People get frightened when sound pulls quickly..fear comes up…but we should do it gradually…stage by stage…don’t be impatient…little at a time. Its an art on how to latch on to the sound. Its not sound but is a power. The simran is also sound…because we are listening to it! We repeat with mind and listens and that’s where it leads to sound. (41min) He spoke in Hindi/ Punjabi explanation on sound.

(43min) Alternative suggestion he gave was do more seva…concentrate on value of seva and also do little bit of meditation as offering not for getting anything/ expectation. Importance of seva (it means service) its an important part of spiritual path. Its of many kinds (money, mind and body). Seva with body has more value as we do physically than money. Best seva is seva with the mind as an offering to the master. He talked about importance of Grace of the Master. Without his grace nothing will happen because he has to pull you to take you back. Therefore if any good prayer to master…when we get grace of the master…it makes it easy to meditate. Why does he make us do meditation for hours? Because of our mind…it believes nothing comes without struggle…how long till we fail and we find out there is something beyond struggle we cant struggle even without grace of master. Grace and effort are the same thing โค He put up a course where we put more effort via meditaiton and at the end we find it was something else that helps us go back home. (48min) He shared story of Daryai Lal Kapoor who was a judge with him trying to meditate in hill station Dalhousie. Even attempt to do something is his grace. Pure effort does not work its not a mechanical thing. (53min) He shared another story of an initiate Hira Singh, a loyal student of this path. He talked about he and one of his American friends visited Bharat and went to Ludhiana where they visited him. Hira Singh asked Baba Ji couple of questions on spirituality on why he has been unable to make spiritual progress being on the path for so long and in spite of meditating for 2.5 hours daily โค Answer is mechanical effort meditation does not help…we need to do meditation with Love and Devotion. (1hr) Its the love and devotion that pulls us, which is an important factor in meditaiton as its not a mechanical experience โค Not only repeats words, see the FACE of your master/ beloved, talk, converse, complain, cry…he will respond. Keep repeating words and on top of it converse with him. There is a LIVE meditation. He is a true friend.

He will repeat the words inside and you listen!

(1hr 4min) He talked about Baba Fakir Chand, who was neighbor of Baba Ji . He talked about his army days and 3 of his disciplines were ambushed by the enemy, who prayed to their Master. Baba Ji come up and help us we are going to die…his form appeared in front of all 3 of them. He advised them to go behind there is a tunnel there go inside and come out from other side you will be safe. They ran to Baba Fakir Chand to thank him. He said what life…but they said you came to help us…Baba Ji disagreed he didn’t save them. Baba Ji and his father asked him why say what he did to those followers? Fakir Chand emphasize people importance of going inside to form the radiant form of the master than seeking master outside.

Real master is INSIDE us. The physical being outside puts in touch with being inside...the form inside resembles form of the master outside โค At end of the journey we will find out we and master are ONE. 

Swami Vivekananda talked in Chicago for 3 days in World Congress of Religion. This world is maya (illusion) including himself. In meditation there are 3 parts- Simran, Shabad, Dhayaan (contimpleation- which overlaps both simbran and shabad). We can see radiant form of the guru, talk to him, he can give answers directly or indirectly. Guru can give answer in coincidences (1hr 15min). He does this according to faith we have developed…it takes time as mind is full of doubts. He can give direct answers once faith strengthens. IT is not easy to understand what a guru is or imagine what guru is. He is beyond our imagination…he is not working where we are working or seeing him. He works from level beyond mind, he works at all at once. Anyone can reach that state. He talks about gurmukh, who can have same experience at all levels at once. He used example of day dreaming, which looks unreal and how we can make day dreaming a ‘real’ experience. Marked souls are operating at other levels for other marked sheep. There are so many souls of GM at different level he works with them at different sheep at all levels.

How can a master in a single human body be available to all disciples? Answer is that he operates by creating clones of himself- a clone of himself in every person he initiates…person see EXACTLY what the master is…master is in touch with the physical PLM. This system works so well- master can establish with any number of people. In physical way they try to behave like other physical people. They want to be as human as we are. If they don’t then we can never be friends with them. They are disguised people therefore they talk in normal way…when our faith grow we can see them inside โค They are not playing any games with us but love and friendship develop is more equal to us.

(1hr 23min) He shared a story of king and cobbler (Ravi Das) and washer-man and his daughter. The whole thing is a big game its a faith…we get more…he shared story on Juhu Beach of two kids making sand castles. At the end he said…I am not a learned man but a lucky man โค
