Video Description: He asked how many can speak and listen to Hindi and English. He said to have come to Mumbai to share his experiences. He shared most of us will not be born when he got initiated in 1936. He said about us having doubts because we have thinking mind that creates doubt by its nature. Mind creates doubt…it leads to fear…insecure what is going to happen…that is why we are leading a life of misery. If our true home is not this world but higher world and we believe it that we are here temporarily. We must have come here for good time but how come we are miserable, unhappy and uncertain something must have gone wrong somewhere. People who have plenty of money, good house etc. and good children, family they are unhappy! He said people with more are more unhappy than people with less! It needs little thinking to find out the only responsible that caused this is our own thinking mind…we thinking too much! Thinking is means to be means of clarity but it causes confusion and conflict. It ingrain doubt and fear. This loss of our certainty and who we are is causing most of our trouble. ignorance is specially responsible for this.

7min- We got attached to people and things to such an extent that we try to make those things as our own. Everything we have here is temporary. We lost an attitude of understanding that we came for a temporary life here. He talked about practicing detachment…if we try to detach we get more attached! He talked about Shakey Pizza and worried he will get attached to it! The thing is association of mind through thoughts attaches us more. He shared a ‘Abracadabra’ story of American seeker coming to India for spirituality for ‘instant mantra’ to get enlighten and met a swami ji.

Thinking leads to desire and desire leads to attachment…that is causing all the problems. Pain and suffering are coming because of attachments.

12min- He talked about meeting swamis, yogi who could practice detachment…so what is the way if we cannot achieve detachment….answer is by MORE attachment to other thing than something else. He used example of a girl attached to doll and then after married detaches from doll to her husband and kids. Knowledge we here temporarily attitude comes if we have certain kinds of attachments within…what kind will this be? Obviously it cannot be another thing in this world. This world is physical world…there are other worlds also but not outside of our-self but inside…if we go within…we open up new world…world to which we get attach much faster than this world…therefore answer to question from detachment is go to the world non-physical world inside us. But it doesn’t feel easy…inside what? It looks like control center of all our center and action is somewhere in the head…if we observe carefully…point of consciousness where am I? We are somewhere behind the eyes where we are operating…the seed of consciousness is there therefore to find something inside…it has to be found in a small area behind the area…it is so small..it is almost like point! Scientist find a small gland called pineal gland.

19min- He talked about a foreign dignitary had an accident when visiting India who was given best doctors in hospital. Brain surgeon from Canada came and said this is a deeper coma as central part of his brain was effected. Central part right behind the eyes…if we put laser beam a person becomes unconscious…it means if its aatma (seed of consciousness) in our physical body…it must be sitting close to that area. How do we get into our own head? He talked about Buddhist monk told him to drill hole in top of head to find consciousness…person will most likely die with that approach! Therefore there is a simpler way…is through power of attention.

Our attention can take us wherever we want.

Ishwar Puri Ji

23min- Attention can go and make us feel we ARE there. We have no control over any other system to use our consciousness except our attention. What is the basis of our consciousness…the easiest instrument we can use is our own attention.

The secret of meditation of going within lies in our power of concentrating our attention wherever we like and we can do that at the center of our head.

Ishwar Puri Ji

Imagination leads to concentration of attention…we will open door to sky in another world. Everyone has the capacity to do so no matter who! There is no exception a gift given to all human beings. If we can pull our attention to center of head via power of concentration of attention by placing imagination long enough…you open up world that is more beautiful than this. The inner body has eyes and ears like this body…that body we all have and that body has much longer life and memory that we can remember 1000 years ago and also know how many incarnations we have taken. We have so many names in physical body and one name in the astral body. When we die the physical body dies…we don’t die…people are crying but they cannot see. How frustrated we are that nobody dies only body dies…its like a jacket. We read about it…we don’t experience it i.e. an aatma which is immortal which never born or dies. Astral body also dies therefore good meditation does not stop there…it goes beyond astral body. We have to go within the eyes behind the eyes of astral body…method is same. Astral body will disappear then we open another body which has no form like this consists of thoughts, ideas…its our mind…its a thinking body! We discover something new…that all the lives that millions of them which we took over here by reincarnation that all that program programmed and put into like a DVD (in casual plane) which we picked up which created all the destinies here. Whatever we think we made here was made there.

36min- He talked about someone dying slowly and how death occurs. He correlated good quality meditation with near death…one difference..it is simulated (pretend death) other is real death. This is sometimes called dying while living. After experiencing it one time…we will NEVER be afraid of physical death ❤ People with insomnia can try meditation…they will get more sleep. Mind and soul are not the same think. Soul only listens and mind speaks…and we never distinguished them. Mind have a limited life like a body of course a longer life (3-4 million years of physical time). The cycle of birth and rebirth is very complicated. All Gods we worship are on the very first stage and that’s where we have an astral body.

44min- We have to remove covers on us by process of withdrawal of attention. Self never goes outside. He talked about Chinese philosopher Fa-Hein whom dream he was a butterfly. The self remains the same no matter what is the form. He talked about telepathic experience. He talked about sense perception coming from the astral body that means when we die the power to do those will be more sharper than in the physical plane. When we go to casual body all thoughts are coming from there. Experience of devotion and love does not come from mind, body and senses but comes directly from soul. Experience of beauty and joy comes also from soul. The mind break things to see what it is but soul join things. Self has its own beauty and is immortal. It has taken so many minds by creating time and space. There are 8.4 million species exists in the physical world alone and there are even more in astral and casual plane but we are all shutting it all inside our head. He used concept of movies to explain life ❤ He talked about a villager in Punjab area who went to see movie and in once scene women takes clothes off but train comes in between…he goes to see movie around 20 times hoping someday the train will be late.

58min- Behind the mind is the light of the soul which is projecting outside. The projector, light (soul) and film is inside but screen is outside and we take screen and shadow as being real. By going within we see where the film is…it is in the causal plane (mind) and the soul is the light. The advantage of going to movie is at least we sit away from the movie. He talked about 3D movies where two pictures are combined to make them realistic in the theater. Now they have added vibrations in chair and air in them to make them more realistic…we are living a life like that. He talked about virtual reality to improve sensory system within the technology.

1hr1min- Who is the actor in this show. Where is the audience they are sitting very cleverly behind the eyes in the head. Therefore the real self is sitting somewhere else and operating through system of senses, thoughts and enjoy beauty via soul. Even this self-realization via deeper meditation is not the end of the story. Our true home where we belong we were part of a parmatma…one. We call it suckhand true home where whole show of many is taking place. Dream is real till we wake up. When we wake up this becomes real and dream becomse unreal…similarly when we go to higher reality (astral, causal etc.) then other becomes unreal. At one time we only have one reality therefore we have higher experience…a glimpse like Fa-Hein. Realities are very relative concept except when we reach the top where all is one…where all regiions are created. If we reach that state all stages become both real and unreal at the same time. He talked about PLM’s level of awareness at ALL TIME. For them everything is real and unreal. He talked about his meeting and discussion with Meera Sarabhai.

1hr10min- He talked about maya as creating reality from experience from real things. He talked about cause and effect being opposite of what we think. He talked about materialists and idealists to explain hot cup of tea. Mystics say go within and see where the experience arises. He talked about time and space being relative because of limitation of the movement of light so something that’s billions of light years away we are seeing what it looked like that many number of years ago not the present status. He talked about Einstein nothing can move faster than speed of light. But someone in the USA has accelerated higher than speed of light. What happened…the photon reached the destination before it left.

1hr 17min- He talked about withdrawal of attention to have experiential faith. The biggest obstacles is mind start thinking of things outside and we try to put attention inside it distracts and it starts making images inside us and thirdly the sounds outside and inside disturb us. He talked about Japanese meditator on ability to have way to get a location with total silence from the outside. So he built an ashram a sound proof meditation chamber and Baba Ji went to see it! He felt there as more noise in the chamber than outside as heart beat and breathing was heard very loudly. Some swamis and yogis said use ‘noisy’ sound inside for concentration! They found sound of breathing is best and pranayama was method used for concentration. Only one problem…with this method we were lowering attention from 3rd eye center to nose and lungs and heart centers. We could get good experiences by putting on lower centers but no awareness of who we are and what the mind and aatma is as those lies behind eyes and above! The eyes is a dividing line between energy level and awareness.

The truth is if we want to hear any sound there are sounds available even behind the eyes and above! Allow attention behind the eyes and we will hear sounds.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr 25min- He talked about inner sounds which throws us off our feet and pulls us up…we wonder where it is coming from? It takes time to know that sound is coming exactly from where aatma is…in fact is the sound of consciousnesses. Real temple is in our head but we try to ring bells outside. Those sounds which pulls our attention into higher awareness has power to pull us within…its the royal road to our destination. He talked about rear wheel and front wheel drive cars as an analogy to describe meditation. He mentioned better to have front wheel drive…our effort is to reach point where sound is and then we can travel to other destinations within. He talked about Surat Shabd Yoga…he said this is the best methodology to reach our true home from various techniques he has personally tried. He shared a story of a mother, son, swami and gur (jaggery).

In true spiritual path there is no scope for blind faith. WE only go on actual experience. It is an experiential path.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr31min- He talked about being 86 soon and is at the end stage of his physical life 😥 He said do not believe anything he says until we experience it personally ❤ But don’t say no…keep our mind open for experience and believe and act only on what we experience ourselves. He said he did not read any books till he went to America because he did not think it is necessary to go by books if we can go by practice/ experience. He talked about hearing nice story (sand castle) on Juhu beach- on two boys who went there to have ice cream. Morale of story is when we believe in faith we always get a bargain ❤ Faith is necessary to taking the next step but not blind faith…where we are willing to go next step which is living faith.

1hr41min- He talked about library in Harvard University in his university days to compare 16 major religions of the world where he found out what has common between them all. We have all the equipment mind, senses to perceive, body to act and use them all…of course we don’t have to used by them…we (aatma) are the owner. We began to associate with the mind…therefore mind becomes our master…don’t do what mind tell us but tell the mind what to do…use the mind to give mind the direction! He asked use spirituality to help get more happiness here. Use mantra and drive thoughts out…do dhyaan of guru…there is a way to control how to keep attention behind the eyes…but do not let it go down. When it goes down it does not give awareness of who we are. Also, don’t forget tendency to go down attention is natural. Practice meditation by holding attention behind the eyes the tendency to sleep will be very strong. It is a powerful pressure on us to sleep..so if we stay alert by staying upright position…and concentrate in 3rd eye and we are able to hold attention there.

Mind divides…soul unites
