Video Description: He asked how many know Hindi, Marathi and English 🙂 He was happy to come to Pune to meet all friends. He referred Mark about creating videos and placing them on Youtube ❤ He asked if its OK if he speaks in English. He came there to share 2-3 important things in life. 1) This place we are trying to make our home is not our true home as we are here temporarily. And when we go we take nothing with us. We came and go totally empty handed. We get attached to things that won’t go with us…we never got a chance to get away. This is not our permanent place…we do have a true home where we came and will eventually go. One day everything goes away and recreated again and again. He talked about story of Alexander the Great (3min).

6min- He talked about practicing detachment result in getting more attached! He shared a goofy story about an American seeker who went to Himalayan mountain for enlightenment. Our mind cannot practice detachment…therefore detachment cannot be practice. In order to detachment…we need to practice more attachment…we can shift attachment…have a bigger attachment to detach old attachments. We can attach for something inside us we can practice detachment. What is there which is not in the outside world but inside in our own head and then we can get salvation and enlightenment. This method of going inside…its called meditation by different names. But attention is not withdrawn inside.

We have been trained to focus on something…withdrawal of attention is opposite of focus of attention.

Ishwar Puri Ji

12min- When we look at something we make picture in the mind. Closing eyes is not to see outside…but the eyes are still looking outside. Is image seeing inside or outside. If we sit here and touch eyes with our hands and know where eyes are. If we close eyes and raise hands and touch eyes…if we make an image of ‘God’ and close eyes…and see imaginary view of God inside…see the image and we will find the image crosses our hands before we touch the eyes. We remain confined to these covers up on ourselves. He talked about withdrawal of attention to our self to know who we are. This discovery that we are located when in the wakeful state behind the eyes…was major discovery in the meditation technique.

15min- That point has been called 3rd eye center and other names. This physical body is just one cover on us but there are many covers! If withdraw our attention we immediately have attention over our other body. People who are able to do yogic exercise end up touching throat during sleep (?) During dream we have another body…it looks real, behave real. Only way we know is when we wake up. He talked about movie Inception about dream state within dream state and time changes. He talked about visiting sleep centers in the USA and there they were investigation sequence of dreams…one person had his entire life in 7minutes sleep (similar to what happened to Picard in Star Trek Next Generation episode- The Inner Light). Consciousness can create different bodies…including our physical body. The astral body inside is more real…has been there for few 1000 years (~1000-3000 physical years). We can have several incarnations in physical life. He talked about Bullah Shah (21min). There is more light inside us than entire outside…each one of us. That is why its so important in meditation to be able to withdraw our attention to see what is inside. He talked about this not being book knowledge but by practicing we can learn to open up to new experiences inside us. Our astral body is made in same shape as us…it overlaps this body. What happen when we die? We leave this body…where do we go? He talked about near-death experience (NDE). When we die we will experience but we can experience BEFORE dying…that is called dying while living (24min)!

25min- He explained how physical death occurs in us. Death proceeds in certain order from extremities to the head. Same thing happen in the meditation…we withdrawal attention and gradually attention goes up and we are more alive than ever. He talked about Ramana Maharishi who experienced dying while living. Its a process if we withdraw attention behind the eyes…its not easy because we have not practiced it. We sit outside and discuss but not go in. This process of Withdrawal of attention…we start remembering what happened 100-200 years ago. We discover so much about ourselves…that is why experience of going within and finding truth of our real-self. Then second cover is sense perception. People don’t have to use glasses we see sharp vision inside…everything is so clear…head becomes so clear…by covering with this dust body we closed up ourselves…its a pity. Everything is inside us. That astral body is nothing more than sense perception to us.They are the basis of knowing the world ❤

30min- He talked about his university days in 1940s in Lahore. He studied in the USA in the 1960s. He talked about all this is hollow space full of ‘wind’ (metaphorically speaking). We don’t realise our perception is creating the world for us. Astral body is just means to have perception…seeing is separate from hearing…every sense become separated in the astral body. Do the same meditation behind the eyes…and we will find astral body is only a cover too. Our thoughts concepts are the reality they become real thing and there all senses are created…we realise senses are only one but they split up. That causal body is the mind…our thinking is taking place via mind. Whole creation is nothing but creation from the causal body..it holds all the data which the entire creation is taking place. Contains all our past and future lives. Time is totally different thing there. He talked about we able to live only in NOW which has no time at all! Mind is trained to treat immediate past as now. If we remove 3 words there is no future- HOPE, FEAR and ANTICIPATION. Did we realise there is no future without these three things. Only real thing is past..as its gone. There is no way to go into the past. Only way is via memory as we remember it. What we think is real life is recalling the past? It looks like happening in the present…how can we recall something in the past that has not happened. So all this DVD preparation we are just playing it via memory and think its real life. Memory is coming from the causal body. What is karma…our life is different some are rich, poor, healthy etc.Why? So much discrimination. Hindu philosophy is due to karma…its a great explanation but what is the real nature of karma? Its memory stored in the causal body. As we go through these actions of life with distinctions…one we can’t help it (birth, accidents, meeting people) we have no control over it and then somethings we decide…we will find 10-15% we make choice rest is just forced upon us. One is called prarabdha and other kriyamana karma. Events are payoff karma. He talked about karma-juni and bogh-juni (40min).

41min- There is 8.4 million species. We constantly decide what to do and create karma. How much freewill we have is a very difficult question. Do we have freewill to decide or someone else is deciding it for us. Do we have REAL freewill or not? Freewill is also an experience…if we believe in God that he knows all …then there is no freewill. He shared cute story of his friend in Harvard Days who found out there is no freewill. We have experience of freewill which is most valuable illusion we have…in reality we find everything is made up…freewill is grand illusion through which we can discover reality. He talked about applying for job in Indian navy (45min)…he talked about another cute story of a Sikh gentleman wearing turban. The Sikh gentleman explained talked about sadhan he learnt from a guru which enabled him to learn about whwat someone is going to think in the first few minutes. Experience of freewill is real why is it not real…just like everything else is unreal. He talked about Greek philosopher why drama is so important…he said drama is very essential for human life because we can identity with characters and think they are real…to make them real we have willing suspension of disbelief in order to have our own emotions transferred. We create reality of experience of freewill and we feel light when we make decision. When we find its not real…when we go back home and realise this is no real…just go to the causal plane to realise everything was pre-written. We can payoff karma is so many places but only make karma in the physical plane. He talked about details of different types of karma. We can also have a karma free life. Our journey is beyond our mind…our soul/ aatma is not part of the mind…not part of our sense perception it is powering all these things.

54min- Soul is pure consciousness and does not need to exist but takes form for experience. He found a guru (GM) he felt trapped by father’s Guru…so he rebelled against the path…and studied other religions for 7-8 years. But his guru told him…if you find anything better take it…permission granted in advance…and do one favor tell me and I will also take it ❤ So the whole creation we see if controlled by the mind. We have to withdraw attention to know who we are. Our own light is around 16x brightness of the physical sun. He tried to work out a kind of yoga to access within. Now he is practicing Surat (Attention) Shabd (Sound) Yoga.

58min- Front and rear wheel drive. Mantra is like rear wheel drive…but listening to sound inside is front wheel drive…sound system is the best ❤ We all have the sound. Sound keeps changing…it becomes physical to start with…Shabd is what is causing us to have all experience..it goes big change in the meditation. He talked about varnatmak sound and then dhunatmak sounds. Bell sound has power to pull us to our own center with much simpler way than our own effort. We can cross those sounds and get to Causal plane…trying to present by Om 🕉. He talked about Sachkhand where whole show is taking place there. He discouraged taking drugs for ‘turn on’ we can do so without any drugs. That does not give any true knowledge of ourselves…true knowledge comes when we can stay on with our consciousness, stay with the sound etc. The books are full of contradictions. When we go with our own experience we go for no contradictions. Its because book refers to different levels.

1hr6min- He shared story of a disciple in GM days who talked about his daughter wanting to college but he wanted her to marriage…GM said she should go to college. 5 minute later…another man comes…his daughter wants to college but GM said she should get married…so really contradictory answers. Our sankars are different therefore we all need a different way…only a perfect guru can advise us what to do. To find a PLM is greatest thing but difficulty is you cannot find one…gurus are ordinary people…they can be friend to a person only when they are like us. If they are not like us we look up to them but not have love and devotion for them. Meditation without bhakti and prem (love and devotion) is useless. So that is why these people come in such a way they know us better than us…they are friend’s first and guru afterwards…otherwise so many teachers are there. Perfect gurus are not teachers…they come to take up back home with their love and we are trapped! He shared story of Swami Brahmanand.

1hr18min- PLM traps us with love which goes beyond the mind…Love is natural to our aatma…they want to take us beyond mind. The truth of our own self comes when we go beyond our mind. These PLMs who come…they come with a mission to take marked souls back home. They will teach because mind likes teaching….gradually teaching becomes unimportant but presence becomes more important and we discover our love flow from us…thoughts are coming in front…mind functions at separate level. We think this is our reality…difficult is at one time we can only experience one reality. We don’t know its a dream when we wake up. He talked about Harvard University scientists talking about mind being very powerful and begin to see things. Mind can create all these things.. what makes you so sure there are some real things happening there…maybe its all illusion. He responded yes I want to ask you…what you are seeing here is not created by you also. We are looking at this world where are you comparing it with? Awake to higher level then you will know whether you are awake or not. What is real and not real is very relative. We go to sleep and see some people whom we have seen….in this dream someone beats you up (you don’t like them in person!) and you think you are strong in the dream but when you wake up you realise its not real thing…but experience revenge was real! The experience was real…but they were not real…they were made up to have real experience. Same thing happens when we wake up from this plane. Reality is so relative…the higher we go the more we will find who those people in reality. The law of karma operates in such a way we create real characters. We all make our own reality. Puzzle was…how does karma can work in millions of people and interactions? Next life we will re-arrange…what sort of computer is used by angel of death? 🙂

1hr25min- We cannot find a guru but guru can find us…thank God! When chela is ready Guru appears! 🙂 When is chela is ready…when his seeking is so strong…I am fed up with this place…Guru must appears in this life. How will he appear…through simple device…coincidences. He talked about Mark who came by chance…he put some of his talks on YouTube and by chance people bumped into this…in santmat don’t run outside run inside. These coincidences makes a lot of sense…freewill as an experience is most wonderful thing as it makes us a seeker…seek INSIDE! Shout inside…a Guru will appear in one’s life ❤ But guru will come to our level…as our friend…he is more than that! We find he is more and more with experience what he is really is…its a beautiful experience to know who we really are. He talked about after break have meditation. He talked about workshops in America. He talked about richest people he know are most unhappy. He talked about doing a course in economics and what input makes a person happy! What do you invest to gain happiness. He designed a questionnaire asking 1000 people from telephone book in greater Boston area…what makes you happy…10 reasons…collected all responses….he was going to get degree based on that. Have lot of money, house, family, nice car to make people happy…all worldly things…the other sides poverty, illness makes one unhappy. He then interviewed a few people…one person he knew (professor in Harvard) he said money makes him happy…he said no….but he wrote money makes him happy. He said same university as Baba Ji went had PhD. etc in business administration…do you know my neighbor made $20M without a degree so he was unhappy! What kind of creatures are we our happiness is controlled by our neighbors richness. He wrote conclusions was…there are two kinds of things in life tangible and intangible and they are balanced. Those who are poor have intangible things happiness more. Other with money etc. had more disappointments in life. He talked about poor villagers in the UP..who sing about Krishna and his friend Udho.

1hr35min- There is no judgement from a true Guru. He will talk to you love you irrespective of your attitude…its a rare thing he will extend your love to you no matter who or what you are. These are things we find by experience not from books. He talked about his nanni (his grandma) who loved doing her puja in the Mandir ❤ He talked about his father trying to convert her to spiritual path…she told him to go away that she gets lot of happiness from her statues and had no interest in Gurus. He complained to GM about her…GM said he will come and see her….Guru Ji came to his house. GM said I hear you have a temple…can I also visit…she said yes…he bowed to all the stones. His Nanni was so happy…and she said she will go to hear his discourse. Ending of this story is super-cute ❤ Guru go to our level and come to our state…and they come in form of our state…they are human beings like us…they have a limited role…short span…they work to do with limited number of people and they are bound to take them back home no matter what you do. Their role is confined to those marked souls. They can become as ordinary, more ordinary than us. Their method is to draw love and devotion from us…it is not the effort. 1hr 40min- He talked about Judge from Kapurthala state (Daryai Lal Kapoor) who wrote books- Heaven on Earth. Spiritual path is now what we are thinking of it…we have to seek within ourselves…he takes us to pace we require…he adjust our karma and in the right time he helps us to go…they are gurus if we go inside only to the 10th door behind the eyes…we are waiting to take you home…rest of journey is never alone. If we can do only this much meditation to manifest the guru you are never alone either this world or other world. The path of PLM is very different from any teachings of any other kind which Baba Ji shared from his experience. He jokes about his meditation experience at the end 🙂 He also said him being one of the last disciples of the GM. Royal road to happiness to join this path.
