Do Your Best – Leave the Rest | Ishwar Puri (Part 5 of 5)

Part 5 of 5

Video Description: He welcomed everyone to the final part of Garrison Institute. He talked about Hudson river nearby flowing by. He talked about sound of the river submerge other sounds, so meditation became little easier. Sometime its suggested having white sound suppresses other sounds and therefore help with meditation. Also use ear-plugs to suppress sound in order to minimise distraction of external sounds and lights. He talked about Dr Julian Johnson who wrote books (Path of the Masters). When he came to India found importance of avoiding distraction and build his own cave and laid a matt on the cave and made a little door also. Baba Ji also got a chance in his cave..he found sound by come itself as it was not difficult to hear inner sounds! Sound inside is different from any sound outside. He talked about his conversation with a Japanese meditation who was trying to build a sound-proof meditation chamber. He invited Baba Ji to visit him in his ashram in Japan to see his glass cave. You can hear your heart beat and breathing so loud! Therefore, to pick up sound internally we can do our best to avoid outside sounds. The real cave is inside our head. And its the easiest way to avoid outside interference. Therefore, before we start meditation, we should practise sitting in the head. This is so important- from his own experience. If we do that we can get a jump start in meditation otherwise it takes much longer. A tip Baba Ji gave us.

10min- He talked about meditation to be done behind the eyes. We should use a mantra so the mind’s language can be squelched. The mantra needs to be LISTENED to not just spoken! He talked about a lot of mind chatting, one conversation with Dalai Lama ❤ No matter how many voices come up…instead of stopping to repeat the mantra…join all those voices and hear a chorus of voices and listen attentively. The more we practice listen to the words it DRAWS our attention. If we make mantra a habit…repeat all the time (while walking, talking, cooking, driving) repeat this make it a habit we will see repetition is going on without us realising…it helps a lot as a good start up in 2nd and 3rd layer of meditation. Make the person that comes in meditation…make them join mantra…do not stop. He talked about going to a Buddhist monastery near border of Tibet. He was impressed there they use method of generation of resonance out of sound. If we put attention sound is there already…they are not body sound…not physical sound they are sounds which are internal and they change…they come like a thunder…squeaky kind of peel behind…some are light cricket sounds, chirping of birds, little bells…if these sound comes…select sound you want to hear…attention you can chose what you want to hear.. try to see if you can hear other sound BEHIND these sounds! And we will be able to pick up something different from the first one. Pick up sound that are closest to sound of a bell! Sound can be ping ping ping…the beat…looks like a mellow as if its middle of the sound…it appears as if they are always there…nobody is striking a bell…its like a bell stuck in Church…the inner sound follows AFTER the strike of the bell. Its the bell sound large bell sound large peel that will pull us in…sometimes that can scare people if it pulls so fast! He talked about his own father when he heard that sound…he was so scared that he was dying! He went to GM…GM said he must tell Lekh Raj that no body has ever died in meditation…not even a natural death. What is your expectation after you die? GM said that’s a guarantee I will be there after he dies ❤ Go step by step…hear from distance and dont go any near at first time. Therefore, its best to take it easy…ascend to another sky we can fly we can see moon and stars and the sun…the appearance of these heavenly body inside doesn’t happen with everybody.

22min- He talked about GM’s master Baba Jaimal Singh who was disciple of Swami Shiv Dayal Singh (Swamiji). One day Baba Jaimal Singh wrote a letter to Swamiji..about him missing Swamiji a lot. Really beautiful story where master take us to higher region (astral and causal regions) creates feelings of missing somebody so much…love comes up so strongly…but soul power of seeing is BLOCKED deliberately so other work needed here can be done. Master can block us…when we go to higher region later on…we can realise we have gone there earlier and rest feeling is exactly the same. The listening power not blocked and viewing power is blocked. That is why Swamiji explained, spiritual progress cannot be measured on spectacular thing but development of our faith, by level of devotion. We are always seeking and making some kind of progress. The development of faith doesnt come without some kind of unseen inner experience going on. Less anger, lust, ego but things that are turning around to our benefit…negative situation becoming positive…someone is trying to help us from somewhere and we can feel it! We make mistakes in life…everyone does…universal thing is to make mistakes nobody exists on this planet that hasn’t made a mistake…if you make a mistake…possibly correct it…if not leave it behind we cannot go back but don’t harp upon it forever! Guilt is one of the obstacles to spiritual progress. All we can do is not make that mistake again. If we do make it again…ask for forgiveness and move on! He shared story of this guy who asked GM for forgiveness for his sins and did all things. Too many people punishing…our own mind is punishing and let me remaining in category of forgivers ❤ Masters forgive because they see us very differently than we see each other. We are trapped in action and reaction, he has all compassion for us no matter who we are.

33min- He talked about PLM removing effect of karma all together…just ask for forgiveness ❤ the idea is our freewill permits us to correct our mistake and do our best…nobody can do better than their best…do the best and leave the rest ❤ Masters are always forgiving their compassion is so natural. Masters love our soul not our body. He looks directly into our soul and they see where soul is caught up and how to help this person get back home. Those on his list are bound to go back no matter what…its unconditional. PLM say you have come and I have accepted you..you are guaranteed to go home with me in my company, not alone…I will be with you at all stages except in the beginning. In the beginning, come to the station and we travel together. When masters say go to 10th door on your own…why do they say that? And they dont take us right from there? Reason is our mind does not believe…because our mind thinks we cannot get anything without making an effort. The initiation guarantees that master take us home with him. Other benefit is- metaphysical benefit…people say if we reach the top what do we find? We are all one…that’s good then we will be lonely then! So why are we going from so many companies here to be all alone there! The answer is if we go with a PLM even within that oneness the master and you experience of love never ends….even at the top. The experience of love of the master holds you there…we never feel alone! Sense of loneliness that bothers us ends after we meet the master inside with his radiant form. This kind of friendship and companionship is possible. He shared all these things and hope they aer useful to us…and if they are not useful just reject them. Its an opportunity to examine what is inside. The truth lies inside you and you dont have to go anywhere else…its way for self-discovery. The place to meditate is behind the eyes in the 3rd eye centre. The program ends now and you can go back home and hope to meet you again sometime some day ❤
