Bhandara 2013- Souls Are The Same, Minds Are Different | Ishwar Puri (Part 5 of 7)

Bhandara 2013, Rice Lake (Part 5 of 7), Day 3

Video Description: He welcome everyone on the 3rd day. He said we are all traveling on the same path. We may have followed different path but so long our destination is our true home where our soul belongs…our journey is the same. Do not try to teach anybody do different to that they are taking…little change in the routing does not matter. Why is destination same…its ONE totality of consciousness. There is no second…our reality is only one…that we are participating in a big show within one total consciousness…there is nothing outside of it. A PLM comes in our midst as an ordinary human being…he is in touch with that oneness….for him all show is in oneness at all times. He cannot see anybody outside of that. We all are one…and we all will discover that. If we seek our true home…oneness comes automatically. Consciousness has never been split. Everyone’s belief system is different street but same goal. Those initiated by PLM understand we are all co-travelers to same destination…they don’t criticize anybody….no mind can accept we are all one as it cannot function as one but many…always. Therefore, its not a mental game (spiritual path) we have played too many mental games. The spiritual path (7min) rises above the mind. He talked about GM there are many kinds of sins…which is a mental thing part of karma. Most sins have some pleasure element that’s why we commit sin. Its not worth talking ill of anybody. The soul of a person…every person is the same. PLM does not look at our body and mind but at our soul…all souls irrespective of their condition and location are yearning inside to go back home. Some souls are so knotted their mind mind is controlling them..and they travel (unfortunately) round and round. Other souls try to get out of here…those souls take time disassociate with the covers up on themselves โค When soul is disturbed by negative things..I have to go back home..where I belong that’s soul is able to release itself by arrangement made by soul by finding a PLM.

Intuitive knowledge is not learn and not from mental exercise or attention classes its inbred into the soul. Via guidance a PLM who manifest as our friend help the soul. Its not teaching we need…we need somebody who can hold our hands take us back home…a friend of ours..a companion take away our loneliness by constant companionship..that’s the role of a PLM (13min). PLM teach from experience not books…PLM knows where we are…he guides us from where we are…he changes direction if necessary. He talked about Jesus Christ when he gave a talk (15min) that there was a hush upon the multitude…he spoke with authority of having personal experience. How do we know who is a master? Not from his face, dress…nothing visible but type of knowledge he gives you directly from his own knowledge/ experience. We will run in all kinds of good teachers…masters have their own ways of doing things.

He shared a cute story of his grandma (mother’s side) having a temple in home…his grandma had temple in her house (17min) โค He shared story of his dad being initiated and asked his mother-in-law about the statues at home and tried to finding a living master. So GM visits Baba Ji’s grandma’s home and visits the little temple in their home. He shared a great story of GM going to a Sikh temple (21min). He referred to Jo Mange Thakur song (24min) โค It was to emphasis value of a LIVING master. He then talked about Swami Brahmanand.

These masters they understand what is needed by us. A teacher can teach you but cannot take care of you. A PLM takes care of you and take you home…he takes care of you every day of your life…initiation is the biggest event in one’s life. Its not a small thing…PLM takes care of us…if we do a little homework to meet behind the eyes…will be with us forever <3. His friendship and love are unconditional with no judgement. He shared another story of a man coming to GM…an incident masterji remembered very clearly. PLM forgive…they know under what circumstances we do things to feel guilty…therefore they don’t look upon us as sinners but as trapped and need compassion….their compassion qualifies them to forgive anything but they teach not to do it again. Biggest punisher is our own mind.

Initiation does not takes place outside but inside. It is not connected with transfer of other teachings. (32min) He shared a story of a poor man felt very strongly that he has seen GM in dreams…and he wanted to get naam/ initiation…in a month of walking he reached dera and arrived at the dera which Master Ji witnessed! He got hold of Master’s feet and begged for initiation. Master said ‘What once again’ as he initiated him a month ago when he left his home. Initiation is not a method of teaching but its by a PLM who takes full responsibility for the soul. He shared another story of a distant uncle who told him 5 words are given at initiation, the 2 words belong to the positive power/ soul spiritual world…and other 3 words belong to the ‘negative’ words. He asked Baba Ji in morning walk if he repeat 5 or 3 words. He asked if he can check with GM if 2 or 5 are right words. If one has to climb a ladder how will you start…we are right here…so no matter who’s region it is….we have to go step by step therefore we go with 5 words. He shared about a friend of his asking a question a long time ago…answer he gets it from his master…he had to go to toilet that time..since then he believes he thinks Baba Ji asks question to GM in the toilet LOL. Initiation by a PLM is a great arrangement we are guaranteed to go home as we wanted it from our inception.

(41min) Discussion on illusion-reality. He talked about a famous dancer in India who invited babaji and how art can be an expression of spirituality. She said she believes all spirituality is very real, we practice music, poetry all this is happening in physical world but inspired from higher level of consciousness so how can we call this unreal (maya).

Baba Ji said that’s not what the books says…the book says that the process of illusion has been created to create what is reality for us.

Maya is not illusion…it means that an experience can be generated whereas only the experience is real.We are having experiences which are real…things that create experience is real and that’s maya. We create reality through illusion. We have experience of free-will always come back there even after experience in meditation. If we have a physical body alive and kicking we can go and have experience of great wakefulness…come back here. By illusion we have created reality. When we dream we shut off this reality when we wake up we shut off dream reality.

At every level of reality we are creating one reality living in that, moving to another, going back to the other and forgetting the first one. That’s how we creating a reality for our-self.

When we have a PLM or anyone else who have gone into totality experience, we retain that forever…then everything becomes like a dream at all time. Now that is only possible when we are at the top as we are still separated but at top there is no many as all is the same. He talked (51min) about experience in a Church in the USA if we left our home to come here…why did we leave our home? He said we never left the home! He said we lost our awareness…the spiritual path means no travel anywhere but waking up to higher level of consciousness. The ability to have freewill that recreated will came back here and didn’t go below or above this. He talked about man is created in the image of his creator…it is the attribute of the experience of freewill. He talked about infinity, infinity plus, infinity plus plus. The beauty and perfection of entire system and yet vision of perfection is available to us as the sixth level of devolution/ at human level because of possibility of free will experience of seeking. Readiness depends on whether one has gone through experience which they have planned for themselves…some wanted longer some wanted shorter journey. There are some who have come and gone. He welcome all co-travelers on this path. We like to call it a journey (spiritual Journey).. as it looks like a journey. Its game of consciousness operating around the ‘self’. What is the real nature of our totality if there is no experience (1hr1min)?

A Q&A session was in this video (1hr 2min). Intuition is enhanced after initiation. There were questions on near death experience (1hr 6min) and comatose. Explanation by Baba Ji on what happened in that situation. Why is it hard to go back home? What makes it hard? Why call it hard experience…when we go back we will not say this…we will only say it before we go home. That was so simple…I simply didn’t catch it. How did I make it so hard…we did by identifying ourselves with our mind. We throw obstacles in our way with our mind! Mind is the best computer…a great machine but when we start thinking its me then path becomes hard. Its one of the imperfections when magnifying a bigger picture. When we get initiated by Master he tells mind is one that comes in our way. He referred to Bulleh Shah (1hr 12min). One of the reason mind makes it hard is as it believes and struggles…its its nature. We have to ‘struggle’ to get things. Mind loves complexity in which we have to separate study things. Think of it with the mind and we will find mind made it hard. Mind can help us answer questions about the mind. In the Bhagvaad Gita (its a song) there is story of Mahabharata and talking between Krishna and Arjun (1hr 15min). Main thing he said is getting out of the battle mess is we should get into union with our own reality. There are 3 pathways to do so. 1st is for those people who don’t think too much, path of desire-less with action (karm yogi). 2nd is Gyaan Yogi…using mind to discover limitations of the mind…we tire the mind and it says I cannot go beyond that. By realising limit of the mind we will go beyond the mind. 3r is Bhakti Yoga as that starts beyond the mind for love for someone who is beyond the mind and our love and devotion to that person will pull us beyond the mind. Whole idea is how to control the mind that we tell the mind what to think but not listen to the mind. Therefore, its important to practice watching mind as not the self. I am Ishwar Puri…no I am not…I am who I am is question built into this statement. My soul is not given this name…I had several names in several incarnation..only this body is Ishwar Puri. We misidentify with who I am. If we knew who I am we will be in Sachkhand right now…we are at home. We are misidentify with the cover up on us as us. That is the spiritual question- who am I? Socrates says know thy self…that is to distinguish ourselves from the cover on us (1hr 24min). This body is an identification card and we give a name to this identification. 3 steps to find our real self. 1st step body is not real, withdraw the awareness of them. When we go to sleep we lose awareness of the body. Withdrawal of attention is like dying while living. Dying with thoughts is like going back to our soul. It is easier by practice to lose the awareness of these. (1hr 28 min) The stars and moon appear to us inside us we don’t have to see themโ€ฆif we have done work earlierโ€ฆ.in a previous lifeโ€ฆthey skip many stages in this life (1hr 30min). Some go straight to the radiant form. If we are initiated the mantra master gives to keep negativity away both inside and outside. He referred to people sitting in bunk naal eager to come to the physical plane for seeking discovered by a PLM, getting initiated to go back home. It’s a wonderful setup…I am who I am…it depends on who you are who you think you are. Not everyone ha to go through step of spiritual path…if we have done work in previous life…we skip many stages in this life. If we are initiated the mantra master gives…it charges those words to keep negativity away (both internal and outside). 9 major openings on the body otherwise there are pores on the skin which are ‘doors’ also. The soul is neither male or female to experience it splits itself…above mind there is no sex. In one way female are disadvantage with frail bodies…but women given balancing act…which has cleverness that man lags. Our experiences here is predestined by choice we made at the casual plane which we decided when we selected at the Akashic record level. He talked also about divine intervention to change our predestine…that change is also prerecorded at the end we find everything is prerecorded. But from level to level it looks like we are changing the destiny. and it is possible to change it at Akarshic records. Sins and virtue are product of the mind. Someone asked about reincarnation (1hr 39min). He talked about Professor Banerjee from Rajasthan who has done extensive search on reincarnation. People are able to even in his household and talked about his sister who had experience of reincarnation. He talked about his daughter got sick (1hr 43min) ..doc came and told she speak of names nothing to do with our house. The doctor said it could be names of neighbours…took her sister in the car their and went in book store who’s children doc was treating…sister said immediately there is my house. The old father of this girl was there…she was one of the two sisters who as a teenager died in mysterious circumstances. The old father checked out if she is his daughter or not by asking a question and found it was his daughter. No criminal case can be made with a reborn child as evidence. This happened in their own home..former civil servant who lives in S.Africa wrote a book on this reincarnation experience. There is another way to know past lives…past lives regression. The thing is if one has religious belief it has difficult to change as it in doctrine us…and its not our choosing but born into a family and we follow them via that. Religion is very powerful its most powerful indoctrination but marked-souls creep out of it (1hr 51min). Another way is to mediate and go back and see one’s previous past and future lives at the Akashic record level.
