Video Description: Welcome friends I am happy to see you all of you here for Bhandara…for my master who is responsible for my life and who’s quotations I use all the times like a parrot. If I repeat too often don’t mind it. The word bhandara is an Indian word and it means abundance. We associate it usually with lot of food but when it comes to spirituality…there is abundance of spiritual value and grace available. 2nd April is Bhandara for Great Master who left his body that day…he made himself permanent friend within at all times in his radiant form. That is a great thing about PLM that when they come they dont come to work in physical body but after initiation they leave themselves with those people which is accessible to them 24/7. A PLM never dies for initiates as it can be seen accessed even when he is not in his physical body. Initiation is a process by which he places himself inside the 3rd eye centre of his disciples. He gives good messages but when he initiates that’s the greatest event can happen in one’s life. Fly with him and do whatever you like its a great companionship but forever…means into eternity. Physical body is temporary and in this short time we are wearing a costume which is only meant to be used here, create a material experience there is no other purpose of having a physical form except having physical experiences. Physical self is confined to many life forms. He talked about life-force being same in all us. Sense perception creates world for us. Insects walking around think its his own world. When we change into another form then the world changes too and world can be seen differently. There are 3 essential body creating time and space. Physical, Astral, and Causal. When we die we still have body – it does not have matter but have sense perception. Astral world laws of nature are different from here. Whenever you have experience of different form the law of that particular experience change. In a dream you can fall from a building and not get hurt. In dream time flows different. Now has no time it is timeless and yet nobody experience anything other than living in the now. We are constantly living here and now. We can’t move it as laws of this physical world do not permit us and yet we get the feeling is we are living in the present. He talked about anticipation, fear or hope is what sets foundation for the future. If there was no memory there would be no past completely wiped out. Memory is what creates the past so our anticipation is creating future and memory is creating the past and immediate past we call is present. It’s a form made up of sense perception in astral plane. Since sense perception is creating feeling of our body and same creates feeling of astral body. In fact, it looks like overlap of this body. Astral form we look at time and freeze it- we can’t do it here at all. He talked about game we used to play, ‘freeze’. The system is different—so ability to freeze time exist there. 2nd we are tied down by gravity here-in astral plane there is no gravity! Nobody worry about weight loss as there is no weight and yet it looks so natural there. We can go into galaxies. The speed without body is very fast. This physical plane is just a partial materialised world made from Astral plane (which is the original). Plato and Socrates talks about world of ideas is more real than the physical world.

18min- Do we have to die to see Astral? Yes, otherwise our attention is flowing outside from the physical body. 9 doors in physical body open outside therefore only reality for us is outside but 10th door is hidden inside our head. Nobody tells us how to access the 10th door which opens inwards where we can see our astral self. We have to die to see 10th door. You can die in death or die while living. Don’t wait till you die…test it out right now by dying while living. He talked about terminally people dying who die in stages. The stages are first that person doesn’t know where hands and feet are. They lose their consciousness of extremities first and then legs, arms, torso dies last…they start losing consciousness and then they die when brain is dead then they leave ❤ A very purpose of good meditation is dying while living. Our attention gets more scattered but when we put our attention on body and assume its a home/ house/ mansion which is outside of us and we are inside…when you do that you are able to pull the attention from extremities same way like you die. I must tell you meditation is successful way of doing it as it involves two things-

1. Power of attention- it can be moved from one place to another, that’s a big advantage, so we can move it inside our head.

2. Attention can be concentrated on specific point- that’s a big factor, thereby become unaware of other things.

26min- You can see your astral self prior to your birth and after your death by simple process of withdrawing attention to the 10th door. But it’s not easy because we are constantly thinking of things outside. The attention is coming from centre a very specific location. You are already there at 3rd eye centre as seed of consciousness in wakeful state is there. It can be higher or lower depending on your state of awareness is. For example, when you sleep at night it shifts from there downwards and you can test it out. If you close your eyes and touch with your hands you know where they are because you know the bodily structure. Try that at night before sleeping..you will touch your nose. What’s happening the notional situation of point of attention is shifting all the way down. When you go to higher level this point raises itself and goes higher and higher. There are several points in this body apart from anatomy of this body…the greatest miracle is astral location here in wakeful state we are right behind the eyes. We can move into 6 lower levels/ chakras/ energy centres. Each centre can take us out of this body. These energy centres are providing all experiences in this world. They have been described as petal of lotus (2 petal, 6 petal). When yogi practise they always start from wakeful state via 2 eyes (2 petal lotus) and downwards. They go along the spine to the bottom and immediately go down and go up. The difference is 2 petal lotus has two sides – looking outside and inside. When we close our eyes and look inside we are using same two petals from inside. 1000 petal lotus is merely a description of a turning point. The physical energy is here- they do not provide energy. 6 centres behind are leading to astral and causal experiences. Each centre provide different experiences..we can touch them with attention without losing our body aka dying. We can have ultimate experience of totality of consciousness right from this physical body which is a miraculous point. So body has capability to experience origin of consciousness.

35min- Art of using our attention and concentrating our attention. Scattering of our own attention is the key challenge due to our mind. Mind constantly thinks- if we put mind aside- we maybe able to march ahead. So putting mind aside requires earlier practise to identifying yourself away from the mind. I want you to have some practical experiences rather than just listening to satsang. They have some kind of blind-faith. That blind faith does not alter quality of our life. If we have living faith you will be able to see the differences you have and realise these costume we are wearing are for experience and none of them go with us. Some of these friends maybe there too (which is a good thing)- some were created only for this experience. In dream you meet 20 people and they look all real and when you wake up- these 3 were there but the remaining 17 were created for the dream. When we finally wake up one is still there and all other disappear and that one happens to be the PLM that initiated you ❤ One friend who is there till the end there from physical to dream to top. This is a remarkable thing that when we wake up to higher reality we realise all people are not real. Based upon nature of shift of level of consciousness you only have one reality at one time. In dream is real you wake up dream becomes unreal. At every stage only one reality exist. Same thing happen at every level so our experience at each level becomes real not illusion. Therefore people had experience of spiritual plane come back and forgot them- but their life is changing and they don’t know why. My GM and his GM (Baba Jaimal Singh) who was disciple of Seth Shiv Dayal Singh where Radha Swami Started.

So meditation is an art of putting your attention where you like and concentrating there.

Ishwar Puri Ji

45min- He shared of story of beautiful Jaimal Singh Ji writing letter to his master Swami Ji (Shiv Dayal Singh). He goes to Agra and meets his master with 2 letters he wrote and told him my soul didn’t go anywhere. Jaimal Singh, let’s go inside and meditate inside. Then he asked Jaimal Singh if his soul was going around in higher plane or not when I wrote those letters-yes, master, my soul was going to higher region. Turning to other people, very often master will blindfold and let you have experiences. The truth is whatever is happening inside is also happening outside. He talked about karmic obligation, which makes us stay and do things outside. All karma is recorded in the mind and being played outside, but the play out and creation of karma takes place inside not outside. The action that follows is a supplement to that..karma is created in physical world but exist in mind but played out here. Good and bad karma combine to make our life. It’s wonderful we have human life with all these powers, that is why one shouldn’t bother about good and bad karma. So what the Swami Ji explained was for karmic reasons he can tie you up to that work and not show you but experience inside will be visible. If you do your duty i.e. follow path/ instructions you will get it. I want to tell you importance of living form of a PLM in physical body. We will have a break now and see you later…how many are keen to do real meditation? 🙂 Have a nice lunch.
