Video Description: We are experiencing many through layers of level of consciousness. As we go from one level to another our attention gets spread out and whole art of meditation is to bring it back to the originating point.

He (1min) talked about Fa-Hein and who dreamt he was a butterfly ❤ He was flying all over as a butterfly when he came out of the dream and he doubted am I Fa-Hein that had a dream who had a butterfly or vice-versa. when he told his friends…they said Mr. Fa-Hein you must have seen a butterfly flying in the dream…he said no he never saw a dream…but how do you know it was you? Even as a butterfly I knew it was me. That’s a great indication if we have to find our-self we have to go within ourselves. Religion is different from spirituality…it starts from spirituality (3min). We make later as a ritual to do external thing as if doing pilgrimage outside is way to go instead of going with to find the house of God, whilst we carry the real house of God is within us. To go inside looks difficult…outside is easy go to temple, church. Mind comes in way when we try to go within…all try to pull us out. Maybe inside is all dark…in spite of the fact the founding father of all religions said truth is inside us. The body is a temple of living God…all say yet we run outside. To discover ourselves we have to go within.

He said to provide different approaches to going within. Best way to go within is the sound that comes from within. This physical body has two parts- Eyes of human beings, below eyes is one section above is other section. All our energies and experiences occur below the eyes i.e six energy chakras represents all kind o experiences we have either outside or inside. So many focus on energy centers below the eyes. What is above the eyes? Similar centers of AWARENESS not energy!!! 7min- This is what differentiates Yogis from Mystics. Yogis teach us to use energy to develop extraordinary powers…but PLM tell us our center of consciousness operating from above the eyes. When we look at the centers below the eyes…they start from wakeful state from the two eyes. They are referred to as two-petal-lotus. There are 3 sets of chakras (9min)…he talked about his uncle a weatherman in Clifton Beach and invited the GM to meet their physician Swami Brahmanand, an Ayurveda physician. This was a beautiful story how GM’s love pulled Swami Ji to become his devotee. One day Swamiji shared story with Baba Ji that GM is a great diplomat…he treated him like royalty…he has trapped him with his Love…Love has hold him back…he made good progress (17min).

In order to inside to find who we are…it is not necessary to go below in wakeful state. We already are at the sixth floor of this body (18min). There are two routes…one along the spine like an elevator or we can go step-by-step from front of body. The yogis when they reach the heart center they discover the true-self and creates out of body experiences. All these experiences lead us to two petal lotus of eye and discovered this is me.

However, we did not wake up from sleep! To get that experiences we need to stay at eye level or higher! We have to practice something different. There are two approaches to reach our higher self. He shared example of two types of cars- front wheel drive and rear wheel drive. Front one has a traction on front wheel and pulls it forward and rear one pushes the car! When we struggle to put our attention back…we are pushing the car/ attention. If we find something that is pulling us inside…that’s front wheel. There are two ways to being pulled. Most attractive thing inside us is power of music…sound..melodious sound always pulled us. There is a natural music inside us..it pulls us inwards. So two different approaches are to try hard with our effort and second is pulled inside by listening to something attractive. GM told him its better to be pulled inside…till you find that…use rear wheel approach…so use a combination. We try our BEST! Try hard to go to point to catch the music and then relax and let music take us up. WE have sound inside us…we all have it but we just need to withdrawal attention inside. Sound current inside is not ordinary but manifestation of pure consciousness.

23 min- Surat Shabd Yoga…yoga of attention and the sound. Sound outside is symbolic of what we can hear inside. Structure of we make of temple and places of worship is similar to our head and bell sound we hear inside. The sound inside can be likened to sound outside especially in the beginning…sound of bell really pulls us! Starts with small and big ringing and sound like GOONGGGG! Takes us off our feet. We then don’t need to do anything else. This particularly way of meditation of pulled by the sound is very great. Sound is called Shabd…Rig Veda says sound is originator of all creator. Sound manifestation of the creator. In John’s Gospel…the opening verses says In the beginning was Word…spiritual teachers with religion originator talks about same sound but use different words. The Greeks call it music of the spheres. Now in scientists are saying there is a hum in an atom, electron movement. Sound seem to be basis of all experiences. Hindus say Om is the sound…they make inner sound as outer sound. The endless sound which they try to write Om…real practitioners of sound in temples to imitate real sound start with a hum with nasal sound. They don’t want to say Om. In Tibetan monasteries are chanting…they want to use word…but they want to make it sound like one word one sound. The sound has so much significance and we forget the key is the sound within our self…by pulling attention to our-self we can catch this sound ❤ The most basic sound is Varnatmak sound- it means it can be spoken and written. Suppose there was no language we can’t have spiritual progress. If we only had signs with hands, sounds like birds and animals we can;’t make progress. We have to design language where symbols of that language can create images beyond the ordinary words. Like word ‘divine’. We find Varnatmak sound is merely used to understand what to do…to withdraw our attention language need not be spoken which we can dhanatmak sound i.e. only a sound that cannot be written or spoken we rise to anhad sound- having no beginning, middle or end. It takes us all the way from physical awareness takes us up to mental or causal awareness (32min). That resonances combines- light, sound together as one thing- we cannot understand via human mind- saar shabd. The sound he talked about can be picked up by us inside us. When the dera was being built when Baba Ji was young (33min). He talked about one gangster- wanted to come and rob the ashram as it was collecting gold to put on top of the building. They sent a Muslim guy (Shadi) to study where the gold lies so we can steal it. It was a beautiful story of how Shadi wondered about the GM leaving gold lying so openly. He was curious to listen to what GM was saying…that gangster never left and became a disciple..he put all his energy in meditation and became his bodyguard later on. That sound does not go by morale value…it has no distinction…its made by creator. Baba Ji (37min) said he was a great skeptic- I am only following because my parents are. He rebelled against the path even after initiation. He went to different religions…but then came back and GM said if you find something better (when he was a teenager) than sound current to get awareness…take it…I give you permission in advance…if I am still alive come and tell me also…I will also go and take it. He talked about being 87 (in this video) ❤ We love you so much Master and Miss you.

He said spirituality is not a cult…the spiritual path which he is sharing is so open everyone is open to it get in or drop out. This worked for him…and he was sure it works for many others too (40min). He talked about people being so unhappy here…because of our minds! We are not only trapped in happiness because when mind creates doubt and fear it makes us insecure…makes us feel lonely (42min). We go for having relationships they are so temporary…somehow we feel although we are together but it is only skin deep.

Spiritual path is for those we had enough of this …this is not our place…we belong somewhere else…if seeking is not there…don’t worry about spiritual path…this path is for seekers who are trying to find themselves. Where do I stand

Ishwar Puri Ji (May 18th 2013)

We can do dying while living to get all the answers to our questions. Every question we ask carries in our inner consciousness the answer to that questions…if we meditate and go within..we don’t have to ask a question to anybody. Our health improves also…as so much of the health depends on our mind…if we bring mind under control…to use it to think. He shared his own version of the story of Aladdin and the genie lamp (46min) to correlate the genie with mind ❤ We can control our mind that’s why spiritual exercise first step is how to stop mind from thinking recklessly. If we feed the mind with words to repeat…like a mantra…now mind you repeat it prevents mind from thinking other things and squeeze of thoughts with mantra. We can use words, repeat words (simran of mantra) or dhyaan contemplation of another face with beloved…the mind gets under control…so mind does what we are putting in…that happens…we hear the sound.

3 steps in good meditation:

Repetition of words to control the thought of mind

Dhyaan to contemplate face of the beloved

To listen to the sound that emanates because of these two steps

Ishwar Puri Ji (May 18th 2013)

Spirituality of simplest of sciences that Baba Ji has come across yet the most difficult because of our own mind! We made it difficult because of too many attachments and desires of external things (52min).

He then offered to try some exercise – he talked about orange juice experiment. From this the sense perception we relate them only to our physical body…sense perception comes from our imaginary body…astral and imaginary body are the same. We thinking physical is only real (not true). Imagination comes from the inside therefore from this exercise we realise sense perception are independent (they do not die become stronger). 1hr- Through meditation we find we create our realities, this physical plane becomes a dream when we go to the astral plane. We realise all concepts and ideas are coming from the real world (aka causal world). When we pull attention from one level we wake up in the next level. Sense perception exists independent of our physical body. If we are not consciousness of the body eyes don’t see nothing happens. When attention is pulled up to another level that becomes reality therefore its a game of attention!

That is why meditation works as its the handling of the attention. When we place our attenton close to where we are…we waken up to a new level.

Ishwar Puri Ji, 18th May 2013

We will realise we are in the head behind the eyes…that is where consciousnesses is originating from. Simple contemplation knows our origin of consciousness in physical plane is behind the eyes. Why not approach that place. We will try to place our attention to center of the head behind the eyes. Imagination is the key requirement to imagine being behind the eyes. 1hr 6min- He does a LIVE meditation session and when meditation ends ask people to rub their eyes a little bit…hands…welcome back! Thoughts take us somewhere else therefore have to be controlled…first step is to control the voice of the thoughts, they run in our mind at all time…day and night..sleeping or awake mind is thinking in words. When we use sense perception, it is not perceptions that gives meaning its the thoughts that do so. If mind did not speak there would be no perceptions…the mind is that constant commentator of what we are doing…it never stops speaking. Its only speaker in us! Mind speak simultaneously with us. What about the soul? Soul ALWAYS listens…its a listener both mind and soul are installed in the consciousness.

1hr 10min- The soul arises prior to the mind. The speech of the mind makes all perception real and give them meaning. Mind speaks all time, we want it to speak what we/ soul want to speak…that’s shift we want to make..therefore we make use of power of pre-selected words simran so we stuck the mind only speak those words. There is a element of will…will exist in soul and transfer to the mind. Soul will what’s to be done. If we don’t use the will we transfer it to do the mind. He talked about doing experiment of controlling the mind with mantra/ simran- to express love for your beloved. This is to instruct the mind only to focus on words of the mantra- shout inside (with your mind) to make the words of repetition loud. If mind sneaks out…repeat these words slowly, deliberately and attentively listen to what we are repeating. Welcome Back… (1hr 14min).

The mind thinks at many levels and channels. It can even start commenting on what we are doing…mind keeps thinking while we are concentrating on focus on words at one level..how to overcome…when mind does that…make it join the repetition! Then we hear two voices …we hear third one join them too…mind then brings a person to talk to you…using another channel…make that person join the repetition…we will find we don’t repeat word as a single person but combination of voices…lets all join it and a big chorus repeats in the head. That works! Close your eyes…He talked about getting hold of the sound current.

1hr 19min- There was a Q&A session in this video. The breath is at the lower center. If we want to be on spiritual path, keep good company…sometimes our karma does not allow us but we should try to have similar company. It is common not easy to stick to the center. People move forward towards the eyes…via physical eyes…when that happens push ourselves back with our imaginative feet in the sixth floor. The floor needs to be hard on this floor. Practice makes perfect. He shared a story about it…there was a famous Maharaja, a great marksman (1hr 21min) and with his wife who was wearing a big ornament on her head. His wife said “With practice one can do anything”. The story included cute baby Blimpy elephant ❤ Moral of the story with practice one can do anything…same with meditation. We don’t stick to the center but with practice we can hold to center. He asked how many of us would like to fly…he said we will do it in the afternoon. This positions is only to be close to the source where the attention is flowing out from…after a while it happens automatically. We don’t see ourselves…in the meditation chamber…we are one inside the chamber we are the one looking at the image we just have to feel we are in the head. Put attention over there…we are only drawing the attention behind the eyes. Its a totally imaginary we are in the head…we don’t see it…another thing is…when we feel miniaturizing our-self behind the eyes (actually we are in front of the eyes). Seeing inside is one that is looking at that image. 1hr 28min- A very good question…can we change our destiny or is it 100% fixed…it depends on the level of our consciousness..in this plane we can change anything by changing our mind. What happens…on astral plane I would realise it was written before hand….there I will realize I EXPERIENCE freewill. I ask for divine intervention…in casual stage we will realize divine intervention was pre-written there. On top of the casual plane real free will being exercised by the soul…the destiny we picked up was also fixed…beyond causal stage change of destiny was also pre-written. Yes, we can change but in one level it changes and above it remains fixed.

1hr 32min- Deja vu is one of the evidence used for reincarnation. He talked Carol Canova (1hr 33min) as an example of someone gifted with premonition. He described himself as poor immigrant..poor fellow from India really funny and amazing 🙂 This premonition comes up because we have access to our own future…which means our future must be pre-written. He talked about 3 elderly ladies in England (Mrs. Brown, Smith…) One of them died and other lady saw noticed in the newspaper so she called the third lady that our friend yesterday….other friend said what are you talking about I just had coffee with her! This is just a glimpse it just happens by itself.

1hr 38min- We say we are going higher and higher…these are mental thoughts…thoughts are placed one within the other. Which is better…to be in astral plane with no freewill or physical plane with experience of freewill? In causal plane everything is predetermined…if this is better which is better than this…the TOP! According to Baba Ji, next to the creator the very next form is in the physical plane. The concept of beginning, middle and end is important…when we have an experience it must have a middle, beginning and end. We have a time-frame, space with no middle, begging and end. According to Hindu tradition the entire creation has these beginning, middle and end…its a part of every experience of ours…but experience is taking place in stage which has none of these three. How does this work? If we study different levels of creation we will find whole concept is an intermediate concept starting from casual plane…our home has no alpha and omega…which makes it a wonderful study of spirituality. The creator one day created the universe we are disqualifying all together. When did the creator create the universe? In only one single period called… NOW. What is NOW? 1hr 43min. Now is the only time we have in which we can exist even in the physical plane. There is ZERO time in NOW 🙂 We are all living in the past because now has no time. We can only live in Now…memory is only way to live in the past. Therefore, we are really living in the past via memories what about the future?

1hr 45min- 3 words- Hope, Fear and Anticipation …take them out there is no future! We are replaying in a timeless state…from the past…to create a memory there has to be some memory where there was time…how come life has been created if we are living in zero time? We look in physical world…there is no real time just now. There is no real time anywhere…where memory comes from? Memory was packed separately in the casual plane…we merely pickup DVD of a memory and we call it life. We pick up a good and bad combination of DVD. Then we say…is there any escape from this or just an endless trap. We don’t want that…we find after certain destiny…at that time…we made an arrangement to escape via a PLM. The proof of all this is go within and check it out. Its a perfect system according to our beloved ❤ Its built into our physical system that within this physical body we can have experiences that don’t belong in the body…these centers of energy and awareness…we are not leaving the body by touching them its like having a glimpse of real thing but without going away from the body. 1hr52min- He talked when one is on their death bed and on near death experience and for dying while living experience!

1hr 53min- He talked about karma being of three kinds. Karma is a great theory. He shared cute story of Krishna and Udho 🙂 Krishna talked about karma creates our experience and he points out to an ant crawling in the forest to his friend. He said this ant has been twice been Indra and once Brahma and is an ant because of karma! In law of karma there is no place of cancellation of karma. He talked about who would like to go to Hell and Heaven first 🙂 He talked about this group is more hellish as they want to go to hell first ❤ Last act of freewill is when at death. Karma binds us down and it is relentless and does not spare anybody. Wheel of reincarnation is so permanent whether you believe in it or not. The area beyond karma of experience is beyond the mind…so long as we are within realm of physical, astral and causal are all realm of the mind. Therefore these three worlds are trap and governed by law of karma. He talked about karma we are born with destined to be born with (prarabdha karma). Only when we have choice…when choice goes to a point when we have choice to go in two alternatives. He talked about Hobson’s choice. New karma is called kriyamana karma. Suppose we make too much of this kriyamana karma…where does it go? It goes into reserve kept into mind called sanchit karma. To live a karma free life or low karma life…by living in the will or go with the flow…i.e. don’t use your mind. If we really live without thinking and accept what comes we are really living a low karma life. The trap is such so much sanchit karma people are unable to get out of the trap. Only way to get out of is by going beyond the mind..we leave whole package behind. Is freewill real…no…karma real..no. Both are interconnected as experience of freewill creates experience of karma. So they are not separate. When we go above the mind…that can be done only with the help of someone that has gone above the mind ❤ Very few do above the mind. People reach astral plane they think they have reached the heaven! They do not distinguish between timeless and time state. So every place seem to be the end but casual plane seem to be taken as end by large number of teachers and dont realise that there is still time and space there! So the mind has imitated the soul and tries to do the same by expanding to crate the many by having one mind (universal mind) having so many mind (2hr 6min).

2hr 7min- A PLM is one beyond the mind they are sadhguru and sathguru. PLM are very rare at most 4,5 or maximum 8. Seekers when they seek seek according to their own concept of spirituality. He talked about marked-souls…those who seek the totality are ones found by a PLM. Law of karma lies in 3 levels is a big trap but uniqueness that our freewill only exists in the physical plane nowhere else. Every other form of life in physical world- 5.6 million life is in plant kingdom alone but the last category 400K human being steps in , angels, gods so they are included in physical and other levels. Human is in small minority we create enough karma to sustain the whole universe. We are quick in creating karma all the time. PLM tell us to go above it. At the time of death in human form (2hr 11min) we regret what we could have done is creator of karma. Last moments of life are most profound and best effect on what we will do next. He talked about Mahabharata about blind king on why he was blind. His sanchit karma was reason that he paid it back as a blind person after karma created 106 lives back! Karma has a powerful effect. To get out the 3 worlds of karma…we can only be lucky to find a PLM. How does he take us beyond that? …by Love ❤ What is Love? (2hr 13min). Its not attachment.

Love takes away the I.

Ishwar Puri

We experience love with the soul not with the mind. PLM do no operate from the mind, they operate from are love is so powerful and employ it right here. Love is so natural to us…it belongs to our soul that master touch that…that is why a PLM comes in our life and teaches…he becomes a teacher…we want to learn! Its our requirement not his…he came to take his marked-souls back home. Ultimately we forget about teaching and fall in love with his unconditional love ❤ ❤ ❤ At the end…we make progress on path then nothing else matters except love we are experiencing…it is answer to all our things…it pulls us beyond the mind.

…method of PLM is different from all other teachers…they teach what the mind wants and gives you what the soul wants.

Ishwar Puri

When we meet a PLM experience of Love overwhelms us and then end up relaxing …bathing in Love ❤ We are not surrounded by sound but love. Soul wants Love more than anything else. Other thing is the soul not only has love but has capacity to know without thinking. What is intuition? It comes directly from our soul. 2hr 21min- We can know what is spiritual what is mental. Most of our life is lived mentally but with a PLM the spiritual over takes the mental and nothing remains other than bliss because we have seen area of duality and area that does not have duality.
