Practice Withdrawal Of Attention | Ishwar Puri (Part 1 of 5)

London, Part 1 of 5

Video Description: He welcomed friends and happy to visit London again. They say there are no new friends we have always old friends. Looks like this creation is a carnival round about where we meet same people again and again. Sometimes we can recognize people sometimes we don’t. The idea we have immortal soul that never born or dies, it only visits this universe in the physical body once defies commonsense to say the least. He talked about casinos are not gamblers (owners) visitors to the casino are gamblers. Owners have calculation how many times (probability) visitors will win or lose. The coin has no brain or memory of its own to fall 50-50 in large scale? That’s the law of probability- a human being who is born so many mortal souls must have been born many times before. To assume we are here only once is a very improbable choice. Some people even remember their whole previous life.

5min- He talked about Dr. Banerjee from Rajasthan studied how many people remembered their past lives. He was fascinated by USSR in which communist rule had brain-washed people into believe there is no God or reincarnation and whole show is happening due to law of physics. Dr. Banerjee talked about 1000s of cases not just a few..it defined all the laws of probabilities. Anyone can look into their past lives…there is a way to look at it…if its registered somewhere one should be able to find out. The truth is the entire record of our past lives is all recorded within our thinking mind…it contains the entire record….only requirement to know the past…the easiest way is go and look up…if in our mind go and look up…is this possibility of going back looking into our own mind…is real not theoretical possibility. 12min- Mind is merely a machine attached to us with inner self has a much longer life and survives 1000s of years…mind carrying these impressions…lives even longer (millions of years) then we discover that the entire record of our life time is all available. This is something anyone can do by withdrawal of attention to within ourselves will able to see what costumes we are wearing and we will find mind we are using of thinking is merely one of many layers we are experiencing time and space. Soul is pure conciseness which does not need time and space to operate…therefore our real self is the soul…never born or dies. Most important layer is mind which generated experience for conciseness of time and space with events in place. He talked about time-space travel (15min).

16min- Our reality is not from our costumes we are wearing…these several layers we are wearing…we wear individualization (which we are not)…most subtle dress we have from one we have experience of many. Love, joy, beauty is natural to the soul …it is automatically there but when we put a costume of mind around soul we get new experiences- there is a vastness around us. We put life which is consciousness it constitutes all lives at all time. He talked about sensory perception (dividing seeing from hearing, smell etc.) The heaviest costume the physical body…we are sitting with all these costumes on us…and trying to enjoy means of having experience as if the experience have to come from outside…that required a big art.

22min- He talked about Greek philosopher Aristotle about deliberating suppressing our knowledge its not real for enjoying the experience of theater…a willing suspension of disbelief. We have means in consciousness to create reality from shadows. He talked about crying in movies but not in real life. We have an art within consciousness to make real what is not real. Projector is inside…the light is the light of consciousness. We are making a drama into such reality…we lay down law of realities. We have a wonderful instrument in this show…we have freewill (26min). Is it predetermined or not? Some believe we cannot have freewill as we believe in God he knows what decisions all then where is the freewill then? But we all believe in every religion and spirituality that God knows all…so how come we have freewill but it looks totally free!

27min- He talked about a friend of his in university in Harvard who concluded that there is no such thing as freewill and had a fun discussion with Baba Ji- where Baba Ji played a trick on him 3 cups. We are trapped by freewill…his friend had coffee 🙂 Then Baba Ji said you don’t have freewill using pure science. How do we determine whether to take coffee or tea…what are the factors that effects our choice? Only two kinds of factors- Genetic (maybe your father liked tea etc.) OR second cause can be environmental like you have sat among coffee drinkers and acquired taste that way…these two things are fixed by time we make a choice…strictly speaking from science…there is no way we could make another choice…it may look free to you but it looked like freewill. But why does it look so free? Because of our ignorance…we are ignorant of where we are and who we are. We are living outside of ourselves and therefore the wisest people have said greatest knowledge to get is knowing our-self. Socrates said know thy self. But we spend time studying outside our self and attach and desire things outside ourselves. We become miserable …a show that should be so good for enjoyment we are so trapped in them by ignorance of who we are and we are not even enjoying the show we came to experience. Is there a way to start enjoying it even now? ….YES 🙂

35min- We used method of illusion to crate reality and sat on the screen rather than audience and made ourselves character in the show and by doing that we became miserable? We were suppose to be more happy…some mistake took place somewhere. This external show for experience for enjoyment we began to get attached to it…the desire made us very attached and capacity to pull out was lost with extreme attachment. Go within to look at our self …if we can regain how system operates we will make show wonderful again. When we wake up from a dream how do we know we are awake? How are we so certain…it comes from its own experience… its an identical experience when we go to higher level of consciousnesses. We remember when we wake up we remember we went to sleep. Same thing occurs when we awaken to higher level of consciousness we find we have been there for a long time and had many dreams (aka incarnations) like this.

41min- He talked about nature of time and space which goes to level of causal plane where it operates. In a dream we could be at one point one location and other instantly…looks natural within the dream. There is something strange about the dream…its not real in terms of time. Who is governing time in the physical world…not us…CLOCKS! We are no longer defining time with experience. That’s the nature of physical time…the physical time creates past, present and future and past never comes back. In dream past can come back little bit (dead people alive in dreams)…what will happen tomorrow we don’t know …future is unknown…at least we have the present…NOW…Now has NO TIME! Present has no duration whatsoever…its just a meeting place between future and the past.

46min- The past is being called now…and past is already there…how can we live in the past? Only one way…memory…we can recall the past but we cannot change it. If we examine life from that view point then realise our life is merely a replay of recorded thing. What about the future? Hope (positive), fear (negative) and anticipation (neutral) are key words that describe future. When we think of it to hope requires time, fear requires time and anticipate requires time so whole future is in the past. There is no future, present its all past…we are living in the past via memories and as we recall its life for us ❤

49min- We try to collect things..and make people our own (my parents, wife, my my my…nothing goes with us) we go empty handed…completely. He talked about Alexander the Great story as an example to explain this. How much time we giving to inquiring things as if they will go with us. How much attention we give to this? Attention is the most valuable thing we have as we can place it wherever we like. Its most valuable part of consciousness available to us and yet what are we doing with it…using to acquire things, overcoming loneliness (which is inside) we look for all happiness outside…all our attention is going outside. Answer is put attention back into us…withdraw our attention but how? Secret to discover which is our inner cover is via withdrawal of attention within our self which looks very difficult without practice.

56min- We don’t focus attention we withdraw it…to wherever we are! We are experiencing life from? If we take away this body there is no physical world. If we go to astral world…we go there….take this body away its there…its so simple that we cover our-self and withdrawal attention and discard covers outside. This is process of spiritual meditation. Real kingdom is inside us. We have been given capacity (attention) to place this inside us to find who we are. Are we at one single point or scattered all over…or one point with attention scatters…we find we are only at one point and attention scatters all over. 58min- He talked about people dying which is a gradual withdrawal process of life on the physical plane. People losing life force from lower extremities. Brain dead is the real death even by observing them…attention scattered is being withdrawal in a particular order. If we meditate and put attention behind the eyes…we will have same experience referred to as..dying while living…experience death without dying. He talked about Ramana Maharishi as an example of near death who thought what will happen when he die? He pretended he is dying…and wondered who is speaking inside me that is not dying at all but becoming more alive! It was his search of that which was speaking in him…let him to search for himself and became maharishi! Meditation is always way to find truth within us.

1hr2min- He talked about pineal gland for withdrawal of attention to discover who we are but do so when we are awake not sleeping. When we sleep we are no longer there…the attention goes down to throat…and when we deep sleep we go down further. These are different levels we can go. Point from where consciousness operates from is from behind the eyes..we need to withdrawal attention to that point 3rd eye center (or 10th door!)…may need sometime, some practice ..we will get it ❤ We have same capacity like saints to have way to open up to go back home…spiritual path does not belong to any religion, gender, nobody but everyone we all have same capacity to go within. Our experience should be our own validation…there is no blind faith and based on experience only…our own experience.
