Wakeup to Test Who We Really Are | Ishwar Puri (Part 1 of 2)

Minneapolis, USA Part 1 of 2

Video Description: He said being happy in the “Twin City” and meet all the friends 🙂 There is a great advantage in making mistake…that we can correct it…if we don’t make one…then we cannot correct it. Therefore, its better to take a decision even if we make a mistake than make no mistake but unable to take any decision…we cannot correct indecision. Specially on the spiritual path, if this is the right path for us. The right path comes to us IF we are seeker! A PLM…is one who has advanced in his awareness to the level where he knows us in and out. State of readiness is important as it fixes time in our life when we meet a PLM and get accepted by him through a simnple process called initiation. Its not a path to make us better but path where PLM holds our hand and take us back to our true home along with him. A Master should be able to accompany us…do as he asks us to do because master’s voice only has impact up on our hearts and soul if he is speaking from his own experience.

5min- He talked about a novel story on fire…one reader of the book wrote to him…that he liked the book but except where he described house on fire! The author said can he write that page for him…then that guy wrote that page and sent him and author revised his book and incorporated that page and wrote to that man of accepting his advise. Truth is I have never seen house on fire and man replied back neither have I! The truth is that PLMs come to us because of our seeking inside not seeking outside. Don’t think if we make mistake it will go to waste…no…we always learn from our mistakes. He shared a story when worked in Indian Govt. when he replaced a boss who never liked to make mistakes. He talked judgement is not good in life (unless one is a judge), giving judgement doesn’t help anyone! Spend sometime understanding what would you do if you were the person you were trying to judge. Some people are doing better than others..so this destiny these astrologers look at our chart depends on time, date place of birth! Des tiny is arising in the sky… of course it is..but not in the sky we look at! Its made up in another sky…that sky can be found within ourselves. He talked about orange/ setting sun sky where are destiny is being made.

12min- He talked about Akashic Records. When we pickup destiny we have to pickup past life also. We pick up one lifetime to have ‘fun’…he said we may come for fun. He doesn’t believe we came here to suffer…we thought it was a great adventure…we were willing to have ups and downs (just like carnival) and somehow we got trapped and forgot we came for short time. Therefore, our problem because the method of entering the carnival required to pickup a destiny from the red sky…and have to pick up and destiny here is governed by law of karma (action and reaction). We thought past and future live real too and didn’t take it as one life…the more we got worried about karma. When we entered we had no karma at all never had never will! So where did this karma came from? Same place i.e Aakashic records…we call the region the causal region where we wore the human mind costume. It was necessary to play destiny of one life…we come here and fine the destiny and karma was created by that very costume as karma was built into the costume which was mind that could think and behind the thinking machine was judgement machine called conscience…to create our own morality. Conscience came from the mind.

19min- He talked about human mind being the best computer. It is used for communication, reasoning etc. Soul never speaks only the mind does and in order for soul to communicate it uses mind to speak. Mind can speak but it cannot hear…only soul does. If we want to know inside our head where is the soul and mind and distinctions…close the eyes and ask who is speaking and who is listening…you will realise its mind speaks and soul listens. Good to use mind but we made one mistake…we asked the mind what shall we do..that’s not using the mind (which is giving instructions to the mind). We became slave of the machine and put mind ahead of ourselves. We created sense perception (smelling, looking) as new costume of the mind which we call the astral costume. The astral body is merely ability of consciousness to operate via mind and sense perception. Causal body is nothing but the mind. We love surprises…they are not always pleasant…we must cut off knowledge to have surprise. We deliberately became ignorant of the future which will give us surprise…we created a very beautiful new experience called freewill. Freewill only comes when we don’t know what we will do when we decide…actually everything is written up but we divided our life in two parts…that is which is destined and that we can make our own choice. This division was vital for the karmic law. Freewill is greatest experience we can have as it can make us make a choice of our own destiny. Of course somebody knows…somebody has to know…otherwise how can we call God omniscient…if he doesn’t know what we will decide (and we have freewill) then we are superior to God.

28min- He talked about his Harvard days about a friend of his who was pondering up on freewill. His friend phoned and told him “Eureka, I found the great truth” about freewill. Baba Ji invited him to his place and asked him to have cup of tea, coffee or empty cup. Baba Ji told him when we make free choice…because when we make choices its not in the vacuum makes choices but factor in our head that guides what we decide. Two kinds of factors- genetics/ hereditary and other is environmental (been among ‘coffee drinkers’) there is no third factor that makes us make choices. Only these two factors that come into play.

Freewill is merely an experience and is likened to man being closet copy of God himself. They say man is made in the imagine of God. God is a power…the only similarity between God and man is he has really freewill by which whole show was setup and we have the EXPERIENCE of freewill that is part of that show. Freewill experience is vital for us to become a seeker.

33min- Seeker to seek is the play of freewill. Don’t stop seeking…if we seek the truth and somebody show us the half-way take it and we are not satisfied..keep on seeking. Finally it is the duty/ role of a PLM to meet the seeker and take him back home. If PLM knows seeker better than seeker himself he doesn’t have to pull anything other than pull the seeker back home. Teachers come to teach but PLM come to take back home but our mind likes being taught.

36min- He shared a story about a man in a village who fall into a well. The story was funny yet with a beautiful message. When we have questions which creates doubt and we are not willing to take a leap of faith…we can spend life but not find anything. Seeking is carried out with certain amount of faith which comes from love and trust of a person. Loves does not arise from the mind but directly from our soul therefore PLM takes us back home his method will be via his love and we will trust as it is via unconditional love. He shared distinction between Love and attachment. There is plenty of real love where we forget the ‘I’ and beloved occupies that part of mind.

In attachment we experience togetherness and in love we experience oneness.

41min- We use mind senses to ride in the carnival. We have experienced of lower kind of game/ play which we call dream. We sleep we dream in dream we run around. Sleeping body is lying in the bed…what is common in sleep and awake body…the feeling of SELF (both are sleeping and running in the dream). Self never changes. We play games at physical level, dreams can be terrible sometimes and we can scream and wake up and say “Thank God it was a dream”. Same as when we wake up from this physical life when we wake up from it and realise it was just a dream. We created these experiences and we have 3 covers (mind (casual), sense perception (astral) and physical body) these create experience of material world.

44min- He talked about soul is in everybody. The plants may have less consciousness we have more than that and angel have even more but it is the same life giving property of consciousness. But they (plant, animal) don’t make decisions but make decisions on instincts. Only humans do that. We go to see movies sometimes even horror movies, we watch murder, tragedies movies and while we are seeing the movie…and somebody is having a bad tragic event and we are crying in the audience forgetting its a movie! How come we take movie so serious and began to believe its real…he talked about Aristotle (Greek philosopher stating this as “willing suspension of disbelief”. He talked about a poor village boy in India for first time he saw a movie…goofy story! He shared a cute blonde joke 🙂 We get chances in life…always get 2nd chance but we get caught up in that…this law of karma is that we do not see how it operates and take upon our-self responsibility of its plus and minus. Imagine the value of self-realization the thing will become a show.

55min- Time we get experience of freewill when we come from individual soul level to the casual plane. We make free choices when we live on physical plane as human being. We pick DVD on basis of what future holds for us. Each level looks like our true home. All these different DVDS are product of one mind. I think therefore I am is incorrect statement as mind and soul are not the same. The mind acts only in time and space and soul out of it. Analysis comes from the mind and synthesis comes from the soul.

1hr- He talked about drop of ocean has been separated from the ocean is trying hard to merge back. He said it took him years to find out that drop never left the ocean ❤ We are always part of the ocean but our awareness is separated…it is the expansion of awareness in the spiritual path. He found time in each of the state is different which convinced Baba Ji to know where we are…just by simple test of how time is flowing. Time in physical level flows in one direction at fixed space and we cannot change it. Its govern by watches and clocks. If we have good time time fly by! Time here is flowing in one direction and generating experience of gone as past and what will come future. Of course there is a catch in that….present cannot have time as it is NOW. Its a meeting point between future and the past. Everything is happening in timeless now! The reason is the immediate past is being called present but actually it is past. What about future? If we remove 3 words- hope, fear and anticipation (same thing), positive, negative and neutral there will be no future. We create future with these 3 words! In order to hope and fear we need time. The truth is future is also the past. In physical plane all past, present and future are past! But still the experience of past which we can never have…so how we have it in now it is via memory which we know the past.

1hr7min- He talked about kind of illusions created to create reality here and it feels its happening now. What happens we raise consciousness through meditation to astral levels. Time in astral plane can be stopped in the middle but still flow in the same direction. If we go to next higher-level and we make big discovery about time where we find no difference between time and space. He talked about us time-traveling now which we will find out in the casual plane. 1hr 11min- He talked about a lady (Flora) he met in Chicago, when he just moved to the USA and he talked about her dream who recorded it in her journal. Time is clear in casual plane that all events have been placed in time and space in one single moment. We travel from event to event and we are time traveling right now. Casual plane gives you full movement…we can time-travel from 2020 to 1950. We can make “Back to the future” reality in fact we are all time-traveling but truth of this change in the system of time comes in the casual plane. If we go beyond that there is no time as we know it….everything is packaged into single timeless moment. Two types of PLMs- Sadhguru and Sathguru. Sadhguru taken us beyond the mind and in nature of soul…sathguru takes even further higher. Nature of time varies in all levels of consciousness. They cannot be described properly but experienced.

1hr19min- PLM’s never come to create groups or religion. They come for entire mankind…its only after they are gone we make religions in their names. His suggestion was SEEK and don’t worry…if he says go inside…go! If he says go outside…think twice! He will take you as far as he has gone. He will come with series of coincidence which is uncertainty of events which has minimal probability of happening. He shared a beautiful story on coincidence of a guy (Lionel Fischman) long time ago when Baba Ji came to USA for a visit to give talk on “Life after death”. Lionel went to war in Japan and married a Japanese lady (Tie). He went to so many places to understand why his wife was killed when he was appreciating God. In any case if Tie has gone there he has to die and check it out. He moved from Denver to Detroit. Baba Ji came from Boston (in Cambridge)…he went back after talk when he was studying at Harvard. Lionel bought couple of books at that event. Baba Ji said to him he understand he wants to see him. He asked him to wait for a month and be patient and he will see him. He mentioned this story to show power of coincidence…they carry a message with it.

1h35min- What is God’s will? Is the whole show running in God’s will. No we distinguish..there should be a God’s will and mind’s will. To make decision (intuition) without thinking is God’s will, coincidences telling us is God’s will ❤ If we watch coincidences very closely we find they match with the intuitive/ gut feeling. He used an example of Rumi to explain what is God’s will. Beauty is mind’s will creates karma…God’s will does not because there is no experience in freewill at all to live in circumstances that comes by themselves. The distinction where experience of freewill is coming we create karma and where things are happening without decision making our karma is paid off…its happening by itself. We can reduce the level of karma for future to great degree by living in God’s will and living in circumstances.

1hr40min- Initiation by a PLM has one feature in it…when a PLM initiates us…at that very time old karma except for karma which is created in this life. Spirituality is not meditation..its a life-style. We start living different and are much happier where inner experience fear and doubt goes away (mind creates them)….so imagine a little practice to go within ourselves makes us fearless and give us sense of certainty about everything…what kind of life that would…we feel we are top of the world no matter what karma as we see them as they are…as a part of the show. Spiritual path is not a cult…its a free seeking/ search…go and search. He ended the talk he mentioned of having a little break and after short break we can ask any questions ❤

God’s will is not so silent as we may think its really vocalized.
