Video Description: He welcome everyone to the final session in Toronto and said hope to come again. He asked for a report-card on meditation co-travelers did in this next visit that would be helpful 🙂 Whole idea of spiritual path is we take charge of the mind, mind should not take charge of us. He talked about not eating meat and be vegetarian no alcohol or drugs. He talked about eating flesh food, even if we have not killed the animal…it interferes with meditation as time to concentrate will become longer. Power of attention lag does not help with making progress on spiritual path. He explained how ‘killing’ something that has life (including plants and fruits which have lowest impact upon our consciousness)…as we increase the degree of life on the food chain therefore we try to keep things at the minimum level…it has least impact on our consciousness therefore power of attention is less than killing an animal or person. The order these species have been placed according to the ancient Indian scriptures based upon prominent elements within these forms of life. The elements are- solid, liquid, gas, air, fire/heat and discrimination (ether)…earth, water, air, fire and ether…fire is the property requires us to be warm…some species don’t need it (like snake). Vegetable dominated by water. In human being these elements are well balanced all exist therefore our awareness is the highest among these species.

Eating meat impacts power of concentrate our attention. Concentration of our attention is vital on the spiritual path. But don’t get it does not mean becoming vegetarian you become spiritual! Eat less, minimum required…overloading system is also creating obstacles in our meditation. Eat wisely, less and nutritionally. Eating less increasing our life and we all over-eat. That is why when we say vegetarian we also mean limited quantity needed by body. Alcohol and drugs scatter our attention in such a way it takes time to build up. That is why don’t consume it. In terms of total program- these are minor things…it is easier to be vegetarian than control the mind.

10min- The mind works as a machine…whatever we input into it, it processes it. Its not us…its not consciousness per say and works in limited field (i.e. time and space). Its a limited instrument its useful for communications and transmitting knowledge…for appreciation things and make sense of things but then it stops there…it takes us no further but becomes a block and say ‘I think therefore I am’ …..

I am and I am therefore I have a mind which thinks…and I can use my mind which thinks. Truth is ‘I Am’ is perfect statement by themselves….it means we exist per say and does not mind, body or senses and is origin of all creation. ‘I am ‘ is a secret we are there and rest is all accessories added-on.

Decision what we should do should come from our intuitive self our soul/ gut feeling that comes to us. Thinking machine is a slave and make use of the slave but don’t get controlled by it. We have whole turned Topsy-turvy and mind is leading us.

14min- He talked about simran and how mind try to divert us from meditation. Simran is done with the mind and it should be occupied with it at all levels…simran should be like an orchestra. He talked about an exercise to look at our mind…very easy because mind does not disappear its always thinking…by sitting behind the eyes…allow random thoughts to go through..we will find out thinking process is not us…we can watch it…before doing this he talked about practicing meditation with him.

16min- He talked about value of seating our-self behind the eyes BEFORE starting meditation. GM emphasised we should forget all the outside thing…we should meditate within our head behind the eyes. We should seat ourselves behind the eyes and consider the head alone as a room…we will have a head start doing this way meditation. In 1962-63 he talked about meeting some satsangis in the USA about method for meditation. We have to remove ourselves from the outside and bring it inside…very first thing is go and sit inside. He talked about not reading any books…this fellow travelers shared spiritual gems of letters GM send over to oversea satsangis.

20min- He said we read what we like to read and we miss a lot of things. He recommend to start off we are not the mind and look at the mind working as thought process…we never think mind thinks…we use mind for thinking. This ability to see mind thinking comes up by short exercise on how to sit inside our head. We imagine our body to be house…there are many floors…the 6th floor is right behind the eyes…think of body as house where we live on the 6th floor. Once we know we are there…what kind of floor we have…if floor is flimsy we will slip through it..we will fall asleep. Sleep occurs drops to the throat center from the third eye center. Make up a chair…its all imagination…then (25min) we sit on the mat, chair. When we are seated well there then we can do any of these meditation practices there. The tendency is move toward at level of the eye…we meant to be at the 3rd eye center…which is BEHIND and between the eyes. Important step is sit down…once seated there and then do the exercises. First exercise is seating there..take a posture (aasna) there is a rule for good aasna…assna should not be so relaxing we go to sleep but also not so unnatural it creates pain and ache in the limbs. So best is..if we are sitting on chair to sit up right and in a normal way sit vertically up. We want to have an experience rising to higher level inside…we like to fly inside sky and t hat requires that we are upright. If we are upright…we are ready for meditation.

The mind is the thinker, speaker and soul is the listener always

30min- There was live meditation in this video. Rub your face, and your hands and welcome back ❤ He talked about the orange juice experiment (32min). What was the purpose of this experiences? Our attention moved…from one point of body to another with ease….this very control in this orange juice experiment is what attention is about. The power of imagination was good enough in this experiment and therefore attention can be kept there via concentration of the attention. To draw our attention to the center of the head we have to imagine…no pressure on eyes and head…very relaxed. He talked about repetition of words (35min)…use words required to repeat behind the eyes in the center of the head. The thoughts have to be converted into the repetition of the words. Tongue may move a little but don’t put attention on that but repetition of the mind behind the eyes.

Go to the center of meditation chamber…on top of this house and within the head…go to the center…having reached there relax and then repeat…repeat deliberately, loudly enough to be heard by yourself…don’t have to speak but hear listen attentively. Repeat slowly…pronounce properly…hear each syllable of it no rush through… 🙂 He talked about practice more practice…it will become easy…when you hold your attention short period…new skies WILL open up ❤ Contemplate of the master and talking to you…do not think of photo of your master…remember your master how you saw him…any old memory of that memory…bring that back..and repeat the words to make sure its not pure imaginary made up…you won’t see forehead and eyes you will not see the master i.e. mind is making up…it will disappear with these powerful words. Express your love and tell him how you want to do seva for him…talk to him…give expression/…except love of the master and you will feel love flow from the master. Imagine as you saw him. If photo blocks you…we cant have love and devotion of master…those initiated by master should be easy we can recall a memory. When we concentrate on master’s face in front of us…and simran is holding that image…the master will change from image you are imagining and become alive and talk to us. He becomes a live person…but meditation of simran goes on to ensure its not mind making it up…we can have communication with master anytime 24/7. Requirement- Imagine from memory master’s face particularly, whole body necessary, sitting walking in same form…repeating words…if master stays he will stay and talk to you….you can ex change any message with him…this is a very easy way to access master. Talk to our master anytime day and time and is accessible.

Open your eyes…welcome back ❤

43min- HE talked about rubbing face and hands because in deeper meditation we leave the body we come back this helps come back in physical body quickly. He talked about imagination…where do imaginary power comes from? It comes always from the Astral plane no other source of imagination (45min). If you have reach that level and what we thought was imaginary here was real there..so imagination is not as imaginary as we think. He gave good explanation on imagination. Unless we go to Astral plane we have our own definition what is imaginary and what is not…the process of meditating with imagination of master being there and powerful words is a check to ensure its not made up imagine but radiant form of master. This is open to everybody but of course you have to do practice.

48min- He shared story of King who was an ace bow-arrow expert and his wife and cute baby blimpy elephant. Morale of the story was practise one can do anything 🙂 Trouble with us is when we don’t get some results we don’t practise regularly. When we start enjoying meditation…its different but dry-dull meditation is difficult…therefore start with small amount of time…gradually increase it…even start with a minute a day…two minute…when you add little by little it doesnt look too much. He talked about biorythm where they are more alert at certain time. Dont miss any day even through day is short. Just do for a few minutes…mark your presense like checking time machine we have come in so we should do meditation daily…the more we practise the more we will enjoy meditation. Just try not to allow mind scatter…use mind to do simran (not tounge)…put second voice also to do simran…don’t give up. We should not give up repitition we are doing…he talked about giving these little tips from his experience which worked for Baba Ji and he hope it works for us ❤

58min- He shared value of getting initiated by a PLM…most important event it can happen in anyone’s life. Initiation is a perfect living master taking total full responsibility for taking us back home unconditionally no matter what our karma is. When we are marked for initiation and in List A we have to stop worrying altogether. Do your best and leave the rest. Do best for sake of mind (even that is not necessary). Best results are from effortless meditation where sitting inside the right place…should be natural to us because that is where we are right now in the centre of the head. Enjoy master’s company and we will be pulled inside but mind does not want that…it wants to put in some effort. He shared about his Harvard University friend who discovered effort comes in our way of meditation who would try very hard to have effortless meditation. We are not responsible…we give power to the mind to do what it is doing…make it responsible for task of meditating…then you will find the results. Initiation is a powerful way PLM collect himself to you places himself within you…you can see him inside, talk to him…friend forever through initiation.

1hr2min- He shared a story of a very poor man who had a vision of the GM and had strong urge to meet him in person. He talked for around a month…he reaches the dera…master ji saw this incident…he saw GM…and ran to him and touched to his feet…master give me naam…GM said what once again ❤ We realise significance of initiation is not a minor thing and one should take full advantage…follow instruction of master to go back in this very life. Oh we have to go through 4 lives (Saar Baachan, swami’s text). People refer to particular verse in Saar Baachan (Swami Ji never wrote it)…Bible was written 250 years later after Christ…compilation is made and it is altered. Baba Ji’s dad once went to GM (he was absent from Satsang) about once initiated by PLM no one has to come back more than 4 lives…he asked that to GM…Lekhraj why are you worried…this is your last life 🙂

1hr 8min- GM explained the number of lives required for one initiated by a PLM. If we follow instructions of master…this will be your last life. How come life is so balanced in ups and down…why do we feel its a unhappy life…because unhappiness stretches the time…happiness shrinks the time…so our subjective experience becomes unhappy life. He talked about Harvard days. Economics doesn’t work if it doesn’t include rewards. Happiness from reward-less action people who get high salary- is this economics? Its economics of human nature. He talked about experiment on this- about calling 1000 people who are well off in Boston area and give them a questionnaire to them on “What makes people happy”. And the choices were given property, relations etc. The answers almost universally is more money, bigger house, better car, better family and obedient children. What makes unhappy- poor, sick, bad relations etc. exact opposite. Then out of answers that came…he picked up some some said money, family, cars equals happy. He met some of the people who answers those questions. He asked are you happy? Do you have money? Yes we are millionaires etc. etc. Are you happy?…No. With all things you have which makes you happy why are you unhappy? You want to know the truth- I got a degree is business management…and I worked my butt off to make what I did…you know what my neighbor…he has no degree but his twice as much wealth as him…his happiness is dependent upon his neighbor. You have all goodies which makes you happy there will be some that makes you unhappy also. Tangible things (happy) and intangible (jealously, bad relationship and so on).

1hr15min- He gave an explanation of creation of karma. He talked about villagers where Krishna was born and they sing…they are so happy and repeat words they sing…the words were…from Krishna…from Bhagavad Gita…array Udho…nature of karma is weird…we cannot understand what karma is Krishna telling little fellow Udho. WE cannot undo karma with good deeds…he pointed to an ant…look at this ant crawling…this ant was Brahma the creator of this universe. One soul manifest so much good karma to become Brahma but same soul can become an ant because of karma. Baba Ji asked what makes these villagers so happy (was it what they were smoking)…then he saw it was cheap tobacco…its way to telling happiness and unhappiness being balanced. With initiation take max. advantage…mind will say work on it…depend on Grace…its ultimately its Guru’s grace that helps one have effortless or effort meditation ❤

I have enjoyed becoming your friend…and your friend forever…I don’t become friend for short period…I don’t like short term friendship…if I make friend with anybody I like to be friends forever…ever means…beyond this life…forever. I am very happy that I came and found so many friends…thank you very much…God Bless You.
