Video Description: When we practise something its better than reading about something. Reading does not give the experience the material is describing. We can read our holy books and people’s experiences but we don’t get the experience. We MUST practise to gain experience.

Spirituality demands we practise what we read.

2min- Confusion is normal for our mind as things happening beyond our mind. Just having intellectual satisfaction like structure, mind likes analytical structure, hence appeals to us of the 5-stage spiritual path! We are used to classification, analysis, if I say there are no stacks…the entire is one stack…doesn’t make sense. If I say that the ultimate truth is operating in us right now and the individuated soul is operating at same time, so is mind, so is sensory perception and body all working at same time..doesn’t make sense. No, separate them! Analysis is the weakness of the mind. The big picture can be seen by the soul. Meditation is a way to verify exactly what is happening. Through systematic meditation based on grand picture of what is going on without having mind analysis interfere. Meditation is a simple thing- you can meditate within you or outside. We all meditate outside. We put attention on outside we meditate on it. We meditate all the time. It is difficult to reverse the attention of flow. Where do you feel you are operating from? From inside the head, behind the eyes. To find ourselves we need to look within ourselves. Right now we are awake in physical body at this level we feel we are behind the eyes. Doesn’t mean we are always there….in fact if you go to sleep you are not there. Try to close your eyes when sleeping you will touch your nose that means even the notional position is shifting in the body continuously depending on our level of wakefulness.

10min- There is one point to start. I am going to share a little tip in meditation right now. Even after I was initaited it took me many years to learn how to do meditation. It consists of closing your eyes watching darkness, repeating words and waiting sound or light to come. Why is it dark, you shut your eyes! To meditate while looking outside it was no value. Closing eyes does not take you inside. The better way is to first step inside and then meditate. Not meditate in my body which is awake and close and looking outside. It did not work for me. Talking from pure experience it did not work for me. So the very first step- from tip from GM- he said where did you meditate…on the floor I crossed by legs. He said do you know when you sit on floor…then you are meditating on the floor…your attention is on the floor same as sitting on the chair…how do you lose attention? So long as you feeling you are sitting on chair…chair does not disappear its holding your attention. So the first step in effective meditation is to place yourself behind the eyes and don’t start meditation till you have done that. To do that, use imagination. It is not easy to imagine. He gave an example- he raised his finger take it above y our head..now imagine you sitting on top…bring your finger down…jump in…jumped in! And whole point was use imagination and to make it easier first dont start this process…start believing this body is a house to make it easy. Its a strange shaped construction of house and you live in the 6th floor of the body. 6th centre happen to behind the eyes (2 petal lotus)…there is a floor behind it. Start with that- believing body is a home and you are there…then pickup a chair best chair and sit on that…imagined the pillow put it there not outside. Get special corner in this room in this house. Then figure out are you in the centre? You will find you are more in the front…then you have your feet…press the floor push the chair back and centre it. When you feel you are right in the centre you can feel the outside of the house especially the ears..I am between two eyes in the centre. You got a headstart…then when we repeat words (aka simran) are not to be repeated like a parrot but to withdraw attention.

21min- He talked about value of speaking and listening. Mind soul get knotted so strongly that we do not know who is speaking and who is listening. Truth is…mind always speaks and soul always listen. When you repeat the words at same time thinking of everything else. You make commentary on your speaking who is doing that? Who is the commentator? Commentator is also the mind…this mind has a clever ability and tendency to develop several channels to speak. When you catch yourself mind speaking the words and commentator speaking…ask the commentator to JOIN in the simran. He talked about talking to Dalai Lama….both talked about mantra and how to meditate. At that time he realised he could hear the voices of the distracting mind…not 1,2,3…but 8 levels! Make those voices join in meditation…what will happen is there will be chorus of repetition in your head! Once you are able to do that…you are able to see light and sound. Flashes of light from sides, like screen with little dots…all these little experience start coming up…when that happens…don’t leave your centre. The real sound that pulls us from left or right…it has no association from sides but comes from WITHIN us. It looks like its coming from the sky. Don’t put attention on ears but on your own self. The real sound will come from there. Sound from centre must come and pull you. There are so many real sounds also- resembles little bells, crickets, and those sounds have layer of sounds…appear we can hear sound close to us and one just behind and one just further behind and at distance…it has certain area where they are coming from distance. Sound will pull you without effort is the sound of the big bell…you will first hear its echo…sound that pulls has power…it is indeed sound of consciousness. The sound is manifestation of consciousness the self and not experience of the self. Sound manifest to show you have the experiencer also. When that sound is heard and pulls you…you are pulling yourself to self. That sound makes you forget your body. The sound also emanates light!

33min- We cannot assume or imagine that sound and light are the same thing but we can experience it…that the radiance coming from sound is same as radiance coming from light…later on they become one..some kind of RESONANCE which is again representation of our own consciousness. It is connected at all time at all levels with The Totality. The sound is a continuous state from a physical human state and continuously connect you to Totality without a break. Sound will change in its audible state ultimately it will not look like sound but you will know its sound…therefore the royal road your true home is the sound current as it is carrying consciousness with it. It is a creative power and creates every level of experience. They have tried to call it different words…in Bible they call it The Word. The very book we are talking about is defining everything. Go to Indian scriptures the 4 Rigveda…opening line is in the beginning was the Naard. Almost Sanskrit version of the Bible…same thing. Other religious doctrine talks about creative power. Why not call it something is we call it word/sound because in physical level it can be heard. Since at this level it is audible we call it word so the real secret is to allow yourself to stay in the centre with all imaginary devices we can use and allow sound to pull you to go back to your home. He talked about a king once who was sharp shooter (38min). Morale of the story means with practise, one can achieve anything…don’t give up. Stay consistent, do not lose the momentum. Don’t expect a result too fast. Take it easy but keep on making some progress on a daily basis.

44min- He said meditate whichever time suits us. He talked about how GM helped all practise meditation in the morning when Baba Ji et al used to sleep outside on cots. If we do something regularly- quality is more important than quantity. You will notice as I have noticed some days you feel good about meditation and some days are so confused that you can’t meditate at all. This is natural because biorhythmic. In regular meditation, have patience and you will eventually have complete success and will see the world very differently and exactly how it was constructed. A blissful state comes in you which ultimately never allows you to bother about anything…you whole life changes. I hope some of you will try this…I tried…very happy and succeeded! He told about GM challenged him to go and find something better and if you do find something better…tell me and I will take it also ❤ I spent my life looking for something better…I didn’t find anything better so I spent a lot of time several decades now and I couldnt find anything better. As you experience more and more this challenge disappears after you find root of creation with clarity and certainty you can’t know if there is anything better and truthfully you discover there really isn’t anything better as it exists today…go and verify it. I have nothing special that you don’t have. Therefore, you cannot say that person is special…nothing of that sort all human beings are equally endowed for this.

55min- Spirituality is a great opportunity ….try it if it works good if not try something else. For meditation sit upright, close your eyes and imagine this body is your house and you are at the 6th floor behind the eyes. Take a chair, pillow or whatever you prefer, place it on floor behind the eyes. See the floor is strong and is not soft. Do not think of anything else except what is happening inside around you. Look right, left, above, below from the centre. Stay in the centre…don’t think of anything else only where you are what’s going on there…look at the walls of the room you are. Start repeating the simran…slowly listening to every syllable. Don’t follow any sound or light but watch from distance. Hear your own words of repetition. Any picture comes watch from a distance, same for sound no leaning. Keep your eyes closed till I count 5….1, 2 ,3 ,4 5 open your eyes….rub them…welcome back ❤

1hr- A Q&A session. I have been talking about the sound earlier- sound connects us starts from behind the eye and go up. All energy start below and go through the eyes. The energy experiences are based on change in energy experiences we are used to but does not lead to higher level experience. We are indeed drop of consciousness individuated into a feeling we are one among many. This question of merging in Sachkhand was bothering me a lot. It’s a lose-lose situation but only mistakes I made was I thought I was separated in the ocean…when I discovered the truth that I never left the ocean…I became drop of awareness within the ocean. I discovered by true identity was the ocean which made sense to me. Why this happened in time? Truth is there was no time. The creation does not take place early or late it takes place NOW there is no other time there. It is experience we generate in now secondly, why did it happen in now? The big purpose was that we can appreciate what bliss means. A rich person never appreciate richness, once experienced poverty can appreciate his richness. Our consciousness picks up experience from pair of opposite, so we can appreciate state where there was no opposite. They talk of one and many co-existing. But many are soul but one is Totality of all Souls. He talked about those goof balls Hans and Buns. So you can define the cause of any of creation through many ways. He talked about loneliness, how man were created to overcome loneliness. What make a negativity not a soul and make who experience happen. What we call kaal is not a soul…it literally means time…creation of space-time as we know it so it becomes opposite of soul. Kaal is not a being.

1hr11min- We want to show negative energy created to time is powerful so we makeup story that kaal stood on one leg. All awareness is soul. Awareness is generated by soul. Soul is consciousness its the root of awareness. What made you go and watch horror movie, what made you do it? You did it because it was a movie not because it was real. When you go back and find whole thing was a movie…and wake up and say wow what a great dream I had…answer comes immediately we did not take bad decision. In this movie (life) we sit in the centre as one of the actors. He talked about 3D movies how real they are. Aristotle gave an answer about why we watch, cry and laugh in drama…drama is not real. He described as willing suspension of disbelief ,why? To get rid of our own excess emotions, which he calls catharsis of emotions. I personally don’t go to any movies but when I go there and I cry…I take it as so real and becomes very difficult for me to distinguish movie on screen and movie in life. We made very good decisions. Best way to lead your daily life is if you are initiated think of the master…give credit or discredit to whatever happens. Not necessary to praise the master…still remember the master. Some experience make us react are you still there master…still remembering the master. Or you find a parking spot thank master and if something bad happens thank him that it could have been worse ❤ 1hr 20min- He talked about Aladdin’s story how found a bottle containing genie. He did all Aladdin said. The slave became the master…genie took Aladdin all around. His friend came what happen you look so sad and depressed, as Genie is taking me all around. His friend advised him of way to resolve his problem. Keep genie busy…this story illustrate mind is genie..it is our slave. Soul subjected itself to an extent where mind tells us what to do. Solution- Let mind dig pole of simran in our head. Fact that we can hold we can perform action with our spiritual will over the mind then we put mind at right place…mind is suppose to carry instructions we give. How soul gives instruction to mind- intuition, coincidences they tell you what instruction to give to the mind. Use mind to carry out instructions not to carry out what to do.

All karmic consequence are merely a projection.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr24min- Without karma nobody is alive. Karma is still sustaining me. What I had was a deal with the Master…it was a deal where I heard the master give a discourse where he said a chanting verse. He spoke to Master about a deal he talked about. Deal means I give you something and you give me something. He asked about giving all miseries to him and all goodies from him ❤ GM said DONE ❤ He told some satsanghis with GM when he moved here. They told me you are so unfair how you can put bad stuff on master. I kept quite and said these people dont know what relationship with Master is. These deals are practical deal and they work. If I worry about deal with the master then we never had a deal. Its not difficult to get a deal but to keep it. We should have that kind of faith, belief that he will take care of it now and I won’t need to worry about it. If we dont then the deal fail. In course of time I realise master does not work from the outside…its the deal we make with the master inside. The deal is how much you believe master without doubt. If faith is lacking deal fails. Its deal with state of mind where we are able to surrender…its very difficult with mind we have. He talked about cults about how they lead people to disaster. How can anybody trust? He talked about seeing on board “Think” don’t make anybody else think for you and here I am making deal where I am making someone else think for me.

True spiritual path is not meant for cowards but for brave warriors who are willing to overcome the mind’s fear. Fear and doubt is only function of mind.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr34min- It is doubt that is the creator of fear. Benefits of meditation is helping us to realise mind is just a thinking machine. We are misusing it as we are being led by it. Mind is not ourselves and if we are not the mind then we can make the deal like I did with my master. I have never met a patient suffering from tinnitus enjoying it. Its a sound that displeases you, that bothers you…its a disease but the sound of bell is mellow…you enjoy it its totally different. Don’t mix the two sounds. Here we have freewill, a friend of mine a true story at Harvard university one day discovered Eureka we have no freewill. His reasoning was a religious one that God creator is omnipotent, omniscient etc. Master Ji offered him coffee, tea. as an experiment whether we have freewill or not or we cannot avoid freewill whether we like it or not. You are a slave of freewill. We have no freewill- that when I offer you coffee or tea how do you decide what to take? You made a choice but how? Look at factors- you will notice two factors- One your genetics (hereditary) its in your blood and second is environmental where you may have been living with coffee drinkers. Do you realise there is no 3rd factor. All freewill we exercise is based on these two factors. Therefore whether you like it or not you can make one choice and you EXPERIENCE it like freewill but really there was no freewill. Having freewill and having experience of freewill are different. Who had the will then? God/ Totality of Consciousness, who is that? Who wrote up the freewill you exercised today. When you go to the top you wrote it yourself. The freewill experience is being experienced by the same self in two different states levels of consciousness. In play out of consciousness on physical plane we have freewill, what was written before. Already programmed into pre-written destiny. All depends on level of consciousness we are. Why was it introduced? We go into carnival and jump onto merry-go-round…we enjoy the ride and come home. Why can’t we have that kind of life? It was introduced as a trigger to go back home…so we become a seeker. Experience of freewill lead to experience of seeking it was a great arrangement we made to ourselves.
