Video Description: He welcomed all to the 2nd day of the 3-day program. He came to this country first time in 1962, he found one hot topic borrowed from the east-Karma. It was taken seriously and taken as a joke. He talked about fat turbanated man pouring cola. Only reason why we are sitting here is because we have karma. It’s not a bad thing it can be good, bad, neutral thing. It’s a law that explain our destiny. Some have more sickness, some more rich etc. What causes this great discrimination between people something we can account for? People believe in religious doctrine that says there is only one life- cannot explain why there is so much discrimination between people. In the Bible he read, a man brought his blind child to Jesus Christ…is it because of his actions or sins of his father? And how can sins of father passed on to a little child. Jesus Christ answered, its neither- it is that the law may prevail. Which law is he referring to- it is the same law of karma! No other explanation! Karma will determined what your life, density will be and where you will die. All are fixed in advanced and made before you are born. Destiny which one has to live (prarabdha) is made before body is made before conception. Karma can be understood if we can go within ourselves and cross the bodies that are creating experiences outside. Karma is created by our mind and it can be studied when powered by soul. It is called causal state as it causes all things to happen. He shared a cute story of Lord Krishna in his childhood and talking to his friend Udho when cows were grazing. We constantly judge and passed on as karma. Karma is a relentless law. He points to an ant…Udho look at this ant…it has been Brahama creator of the universe due to great good deal…and today because of bad karma its crawling like an ant. Karma is never wiped out…it becomes an ever lasting trap. We cannot escape from time. If we could end karma by some action- you cannot cancel anything therefore you keep having ups and downs. 8.4 million specie in which we can take on the physical plane are listed there. 5.2 million of those are in the plant kingdom and rest can be divided among birds, reptiles, mammals but in the last 400K of that list, comes various forms of angles and human beings. Same unit of consciousness can take 8.4 million forms and there is ONLY one form which you can escape cycle of karma- it is only form where you experience freewill.
11min- Trigger experiences including the top where totality of consciousness exists. It is possible in one form..but we can only create karma is one form also! It is the human form. In one life time we can only do so much. Karma is created by intension not action. Everybody pays karma. Its holding us back here so its a ‘bad’ thing from that context 🙂 We are trapped here forever…we have created enough to last forever- because its made on intensions and we didnt acted upon so we saved ourselves (not true). There is karma we are born with and is a major part of our life and past intentions and goes on till time of our death. It includes events such as meeting people randomly. Here we are paying off past karma called pralabdh. Then there is new set of karma which we create now…when we employ our freewill to do so. Where we deliberately think- after deliberation creates new karma. New karma is only created when you have more than one option open to you and take a decision which option to select. If we create millions of units of karma how can we pay off one life. There is 3rd karma- or sinchit karma if you cannot accommodate in this life then let the rest go in reserve. Law provides for reservoir where excess karma can be placed. Whosoever operates it is very happy as it builds up large reservoir to help make more lives, and we have such huge reservoirs we are going to be here forever. He talked about Mahabharata king Dhirstrastra who was blind he asked Krishna you have given me gift to see my past life but I dont know why I am blind if I haven’t seen anything in last 100 lives I did anything wrong. Krishan replied 104 lives earlier, you took someone else’s eyes. You can be the most charitable person, you are still trapped in cycle of karma! We are all trapped in this cycle so the law of karma binds us down. What is the solution? How can we get out of this system. Firstly, good side of karma is that unless we have a combination of good and bad karma we cannot be a human being. We all have ups and down in human life -it’s a combination of good and bad, and it may not in physical term. Man maybe born rich but have a terrible life! Money doesn’t help. He talked about tangible and intangible features of life.
24min- He talked about Harvard days about a course on reward-less action a person can do and wanted to see when a person helps someone without compensation is the only thing he gets is happiness or anything else. Most talked about absence of money, sickness etc. all people have happiness comes No. 1 from money. Then he began to question people who had money. In one example he shared, a guy’s neighbour’s happiness was dependent upon his neighbours wealth 🙂 He was surprised to see how we compare ourself to other people which is creating our happiness or unhappiness…an intangible factor that we dont take into account. The real life which you can be a spiritual seeker is a balanced life. If you are working towards karma you can make it balanced inside and outside. He talked about his likeness of Ye Olde Shakey pizza. Therefore, to maintain the balance you have to balance life here with seeking inside. You cannot renounce one from the other. Therefore, the spiritual path enables us to be born in a balanced situation and to practise balanced life. There is a projection of creation taking place from inside to outside and therefore give equal attention to both gives a balance life and balanced seeking. A seeker has to be balanced both inside and outside.
33min- The most radical way I have learned and discovered that if you are seeking enough and get initiated by a PLM that’s one of the conditions of getting initiated is you have reached a point in your life in several lifetimes of doing work in seeking- when you are seeking from your childhood onwards and you are ready and master picks you up at time of initiations the entire reservoir of karma is destroyed. There is karma of this life still there- you can create new karma but no reservoir. The resulting of burning away of sanchit karma via initiation leads to fact that you will born on basis of this life and if you are leading a spiritual life of seeking- your next life is going to be much better if you get one. Our action in karma are designed by three events (pralabdh, kiraman- new karma, sanchit)…these creates events of our life. Sanchit karma creates our attitude we call them sanskars. Most difficult to change attitude. That is why, removal of the heavy karma makes a significant change in our attitude and we are able to deal with world much better. He talked about 5 operatives of karma. When you get angry- the mind does not concentrate. If you have ability to look at anger from inner eyes…that attention is expanding. The spiritual path requires to concentrate attention at one point whereas anger scatters attention. Lustful thoughts make your attention go down and effects ability to meditate. Its a continuous 5 vices of karma and our effort to overcome them. We come to new item on spiritual path- Master’s Grace/ Lord’s Grace ❤ Grace has to do with these 5! We ask for Grace and when we get Grace…we don’t see Grace…because we can’t see it…we put an effort to overcome these 5 but effort doesn’t come without grace. At then we realise its always grace that makes us feel we are putting effort. In meditation techniques, its not enough to do mechanical meditation its necessary to perform other functions to overcome things preventing meditation that is to seek Grace. Karma is not easily understood its a huge basket that operates together therefore we ask for Grace and express our love and devotion in meditation. He remembered, a friend of his around age living in India in Ludhiana and he has a foundry (iron and steel) and he was visiting with an American friend and master took them in. His friend of his, initiated by GM, asked him a question- from your talk it looks you had some experiences and I am disciple of same master as you and meditated for 40 years but no experience. Master Ji asked why he didnt ask GM…he said he did…GM smiled and said son keep on doing your meditation with love and devotion. He has been meditating strictly 2.5 hours but one thing was missing love and devotion. Mechanical meditation is like churning water and hoping to get butter out of it.
48min- It should be a conversation with you and master…if you can’t see him or hear him it is OK as he can see and hear you! His friend made a LOT more progress than he did in 40 years. He emphasised on jokes and didn’t want to offend anyone about his jokes. He shared a joke of a retiring doctor and introducing new doctor with patients. He shared goofy jokes also of former German pope. Don’t think spiritual path is all serious stuff, it needs sense of humor. We suffer because we take this as the only reality. We all have 8 senses (animals have 4) the 6th sense is intuition. The 8th sense is ability to laugh at your own situation where you are placed and way to look at it as if you are sitting on the top. Ability of laugh is real sense! Laughter is best medicine and good for meditation. Don’t make a serious face…have a smile on your face!
57min- Where is the soulmate? Soulmate is above the mind where the soul is. It is makes mind, senses operate and perceive the world. Soul has no gender- for the purpose of experience in the 3 worlds of the mind the soul splits in two gender. We try to look for soulmate as we have one…we try method called hit or miss. It is due to natural tendency to find our soulmate. The actual marriage of takes place in parbrahm. We all live in the now at all times as it has no time but its now. Its a moment of no time of consciousness where we experience something and continuously create sense of time. Way we experience time it looks like time is passing and going somewhere. That is not the truth as time never moves it is totally static. It is laid out at time of creation by the universal mind in one straight line and all events are placed on time…we are time-travellers but it appears time is flowing. You are only one- that was your form of a child, grown up you have trillions of forms all stacked together…all still none of them are moving and all going to the end…all static…you are changing from one form to another continuously. You don’t change…you are one at all times but one occupying different forms at all time. The self is never more than one. The forms are changing, not you! Time is static. What about changes in destiny…that happens because what we have on timeline and what we experience, and we change it…the change is prerecorded in timeline. The nature of time is not what it looks to us. It is continuous and where we operate on the time is a timeless moment. It’s a real power of timelessness is operating here and memory is ONLY thing we are using here. You have to go to the causal plane to realise all this. To live in the now…people advise this what it means? Its not referring to time at all but don’t waste your time regretting what happened and do not waste time what will happen in the future and don’t be afraid of this might happen. If you take out of guilt and fear- advise is given.
1hr8min- Question is about loneliness. It’s a deep spiritual experience. We are lonely because we are only the real one…all of us. We are lonely because there is no one else except us. We haven’t changed…the SELF is still the same and one. It is ALWAYS lonely. Experience are generated to overcome the loneliness. Loneliness is part of fact that we are actually alone…that is the reality. So long we are in time and space loneliness operates…we create worlds around us. The casual world, astral world, physical worlds…we create these big worlds but still lonely as they cannot substitute us. This is a fact that we cannot subtitle any amount of artefacts. All creations are made by mind. The reality is only one self all others are made up. Loneliness is a good reason of creation of mind. Can there be loneliness above the mind? Where is space to be lonely, then? Loneliness is the opposite of company. IF nothing is created around then you cannot call it loneliness but something else…I call it Totality of Consciousness but its in appropriate! This is very best I try to explain this…all these words we use. Experience of loneliness is created when we create so many around us and are still lonely. The truth is that no matter how many worlds we created- we are still lonely. No two has been same therefore loneliness is a part of life/ living. Is it good or bad? Actually its very good if we were not lonely we won’t be on the path. How does coming on path takes care of our loneliness? That’s the beauty of being initiated by a PLM. When you get initiated, the master vests himself inside you as a being with the same quality- he is the extension of yourself. Loneliness goes away when you manifest him in yourself. The master within us continues to be in the same form as we- a second self till totality of consciousness where we find we both are the same. I don’t know any other cure for subtle loneliness in us. But if we form the radiant form of the master in us, we will overcome loneliness. Have that company you would desire at every level. If you have a friend like yourself, you will never be lonely. Therefore, that’s the basic thing of PLM on this path that you do not go in this journey alone…from back of the eyes inwards in this physical body. There are 9 doors obvious to us to look at the world outside. There is the 10th-door right behind the eyes…open inwards not outwards! Who is behind the 10th door…our PLM who initiated us…he is playing hide-and seek because we love to play hide and seek with our own self and everybody. He who hides there in 10th door…he is waiting for us there. He sends signals…via coincidences. Enter the 10th door and we go together from there and travel with company of who is alike with the self who is made of same structure.
1hr22min- A human being who is a PLM is a reality not because everything is real because he contniuetes to be real at all levels. So that is why that effective relation here effects us more than anything else. How we overcome loneliness answer is simple- meditate to an extent to reach the point where you can see radiant form of the master. It is a tested method. You have a friend not only understand you, it’s a great feeling and yet you can travel with him in the car and fly with him inside. You shift your reality from physical to astral to casual to ultimate reality. He talked about Harvard days about his talk with two professors on experience being ‘real’ or fantasies. They speculated from philosophical model but when you have experience it means having certainty of experience. When we wake up in the morning- are you certain you woken up. There are some experience that carry their own certainty. Wakefulness is one of them. Experience of wakefulness is so real it is not based up on any evidence. It is an experience of change of level of consciousness that is a certain experience- it only requires experience itself no other evidence. The answer is if sugar is sweet you have to taste it. He talked about movie inception. If you go to sleep you must arrangement how to wake up. Same 10 min of wakeful life becomes who life in 3rd dream. That movie only deal with 3 levels of dreams. It has a resemblance to state we are in. Therefore, certainty of wakeful helps. He talked about sleep clinics in the 1960s when he came to the USA. The physical body corresponds to the dream. Yet person dreaming has no idea and one who woken up 4-5 times with new dream every time. When they wake up they don’t remember anything. These are states of being where we continuously have experience and they fade out. People go to Astral plane and have lucid dreams where they find things more real than this. It will look like a dream because we made physical plane as the reality which we compare it to. So what’s the difference. If your dream consists of monocolor, skin color it’s a subjective dream from daily life. If your dream has many colors- then it maybe taking place at levels above. If you have blue and yellow colour- it is not going to be ordinary dream- it’s very often astral dream. Colors are a big subject how they are created and building blocks of life/ universe…all accessible via meditation. All knoweldge lies inside us ❤ Thank you so much and I will see you after lunch 🙂 We should walk the walk.
