Video Description: He thanks for this one day event in the start. He was talking about simplicity of discovering our own self by going behind the 3rd eye centre through withdrawal of attention. He talked about value of having a PLM as a guide to help. He says some may think its a lot of effort…the truth is effort is futile…the truth is real meditation is effort-less but effort is made by the mind and mind is obstacle to self-discovery, so how can effort work? So how can we meditation effort-less i.e. sahaj yoga (union of own reality). The Sahaj yoga is the most wonderful thing that can take us beyond the mind…sahaj loosely translated into gentle..so gentle it should be effortless. Surat Shabd Yoga of contacting sound and contacting our own reality. Our mind does not comprehend doing doesn’t get things done but it is stop doing that helps. Externally we are always use to doing things we practise haath yoga (stubborn yoga) rather than sahaj yoga.

5min- He shared a story of devoted disciple of GM Divan Daryai Lal Kapoor who did seva as doorman to the GM. He talked about Master doing everything for us including meditation! Meditation shuold be after initiated sit behind the eyes…RELAX…let Master meditate while you relax…its certainly job of the Master to do the Master ❤ The deal from master is he can do everything for us and we need to relax we need to surrender our efforts to someone who can do better than us. Plan a trip to Sackhand with Master 🙂 Truth is ability to surrender, which we lag because of our ego comes in our way. So there is no place for ‘I’ on spiritual path. Who Love who…who love who? He said it come across like macho statement emphasising on word ‘I’… LOL 🙂 Love touches and we forget ourselves…the beloved occupies space in our head.

In true love we place ego in the backbench and that’s how we can have meditation with love and devotion.

What we call love is actually an attachment. A good attachment can create feeling of togetherness but not oneness…true love creates feeling of ONENESS!

15min- Surrender is a ownership position…we surrender worldly thing attachment. It is difficult to do so for material things. He asked not to identify just with body and the mind, but let’s start thinking differently. Instead of saying I think so…I have been given a mind to think so. Nothing is mine, therefore I will be surrendering attachment of things as it doesn’t belong to me, but it is as privilege to use it. Same thing with relationship with people.

Meditation with Love and Devotion is Meditation with surrender.

18min- The best rocking chair should be in the head (it will be free) to relax and is available behind the eyes. When a master initiates someone, he takes full responsibility to take the seeker home without any conditions. That’s the promise of initiation, the great thing it can happen in our life, ❤ Let him do the job. He talked about when he was young, he had a deal with his master Sawan Singh Ji (19min). He gave all the sorrow and miseries to his master and he gets all happiness…GM said “Done”. For 75 years GM kept his word and Baba Ji kept his 🙂 He talked about coming to the USA and told satsanghis here about this deal. He shared getting all the goodies of life and they criticised him don’t you regret it..he was shocked…these people have no idea what a master is. For winners method is to have a deal…let’s have a deal…they found deal is easily made it is so difficult to follow our part…we give all our suffering to master but we are not able to do that…we take responsibility on ourselves…its ingrained in us! Master gives us a long rope…deal is only useful and effective if we are able to follow path of effortless meditation. Path of surrender it makes path so simple and makes sahaj yoga a reality where there is no effort needed. He talked about handbook of Master…where no master puts in effort he makes his master put the effort…masters have masters. Its a practical thing and few people have been able to follow sahaj yoga…other yoga can take us up to where effort can take us…up to mind level beyond that it needs sahaj uoga.

25min- He talked about seva… seva/ service is like surrender. We surrender the surrenderer himself is most challenging part…but it is possible! It is possible for any initiate of a PLM. Seva is also like that…seva can be different ways. He then talked about mitti seva. He talked about carrying bricks on the head to build the dera under guidance of GM. He called it “brick seva”…he talked about Baluchistan ‘Mastana’. Mitti seva made all equal…an American disciple came to dera first time…funny story 🙂 In mitti seva we forget who we are…it equalises us…pushes our ego back..but seva with the mind is the BEST seva! It means when we meditate…we meditate as an offering.

Meditation is a way of life!

27min- Seva is not done just by sitting at the feet of the master. If thought of Master comes while we work it’s as good as seva and as good as meditation. It’s not the time we spend on it but connecting continuously to the Master. He talked about Surat Shabd Yoga. The bell sound can be so powerful that can pull us up. We have to be relaxed and ready…meditation is not to resist being pulled inside. Sometimes we resist because we are afraid, our thoughts come in the way…if we surrendered to be pulled…master will take you all the way back home. Remembering master is as good as meditation. 34min- He shared a goofy story of a friend of his in San Francisco invited him for meditation. Baba Ji didn’t want to but to keep up the appearance he went along 🙂 A Really funny story where friend “meditated” for 2.5 hours. His whole meditation was on the watch not on himself. Trying to complete 2.5hours because its a ‘requirement’ but if we think of Master for those 2.5hrs just walking is more valuable.

36min- He talked about value of vegetarian food in spirituality. He talked about Zen Buddhism about their belief of eating certain type of rice in assisting in spirituality and enlightenment. Real point is…love and devotion is the secret…meditation succeed if its done with love and devotion. To go to true home we don’t forget love and devotion. There is no greater experience than unconditional love and Master’s love is always unconditional…we all judge but Master does not judge ❤ He knows we are all trapped…he has compassion for being caught up in good and bad stuff…compassion is a strong factor in attitude of the master…he only extends unconditional love. He said God bless us all at the end.
