Video Description: Welcome to GM’s bhandara! My master! This is a big day, great day we wait for this day for the whole year. People attended previous years write how their life changed and so on. I feel its important something I should share with you. This day 2nd April is important because the GM Sawan Singh Ji left his physical body made people feel he has died and yet his disciples and initiates seen his radiate form began to see his radiant form forever! He made it clear death is just physical phenomenon. He has established relationship with us. Rumi says love of the master is dragging us by our ears to our true home just becauese are marked on his list. GM for those initiated by him has never died…he is present in greater radiance than he ever show. Its important to advantage of this took see radiant form of master while he is alive. There was a well known mystic sheik Fareed with master Sheik Qutbuddin. These masters work in a strange way they give credit to their master although master has totally embedded in his successor and work through the successor and successor knows that. Physical form of master is necessary. Why I am bringing this up? Because do not think most PLM can’t do anything if they are dead. That experience of love can take place between two physical beings without it there is no initiation. Therefore, when we are seekers we should take full advantage while master is alive. All masters have said so. They said while I am here take advantage…some said we will come again. But don’t think after they are dead physical beings can take advantage. That is why not to lose time if you are blessed and lucky enough to find a PLM who has appeared in your life because of your good fortune that you are marked sheep of that master. Do not waste any time. That is why today I can tell you I saw my master…I was initiated by him and he never left me. He is imbedded in me…I verify everyday. Therefore, today he has come here to give you best of blessings. Blessings come everyday but dont have same receptive as today. GM was once asked – master you are full of goodies in your bag…why don’t you pour it out…he said I try sometimes. There is a story about one of the master in India who was a cobbler in a hut. King pipa was a follower of the master and his hut was not too far from the palace. One day got up early in the master…he is such a great master let me get his best blessings…3am is best time…he woke up early morning and went to master Ravi Das. Cobbler said what has brought you here…King said I came here as a beggar and came to get special blessings. Cobbler said I will give you some churnamak some dirty leather water. King saw dirty water he allowed water to go down the sleeves and walked away. He told his worker don’t tell anyone take that shirt and tell him to wash, and iron it right now. Attended took it wash man and asked him to wash, dry and iron it.So washer man got up woke up his little daughter to remove stain…she began to chew the shirt…she was giving a discourse on spirituality! So word spread around suddenly a daughter of washerman is enlightened. The king heard it…so he went to her for blessings. He said don’t take me as a king but as a beggar…she said it all came from your shirt. He felt so bad…went back to Master Ravi Das and asked for that dirty water. Master said those moments are very rare and you came to me when you came with eager of seeking. Continue your meditation with love and devotion and one day you will get what you seek.

14min- Today is one of those days when you can get special blessings. All that is required to keep your cups in the right direction. Cup of your mind the way you are feeling about it. Cup of attention grace flows like rain. It’s all question of how we can turn our attention towards grace. I congratulate all of you…I like my cup to be filled even if it over-flows…I like the abundance of this Grace. The more I get the better it is…there is no limit how much soul can absorb. Soul cries for more and can absorb it. It’s the soul that speaks for seekers not the mind. Let’s meditate and get blessings. The grace will be poured right behind the eyes at the 3rd eye centre. Close your eyes and seek and get filled up. They were singing song Jo Mange Thakur…you ask for anything and you will get it. Congratulations how many of you are happy…you are all blessed (whether you say happy or not) the blessings have touched all of you…I am the witness. This is a great moment…I am very happy to be with you. When I leave from here…with your permission..I will go and convey great master blessings on food you will eat. When I say this is blessed food…you will think like that and taste little different. So I am creating association with food. Similarly that will be like parshaad but will have blessings of master in it and therefore will not be ordinary food…doesn’t mean it will change it’s still the same…when you eat it the association of it will be with the master. That’s the value of parshaad. Make it last..the longer it last the longer you will remember master and longer good meditation you can do. Take some similar stuff in parshaad and mix it up and shake it…so it becomes blessed like in the bag. We used to do this. If you remember the master that is meditation….you are continuously building relationship with that master and take you above the mind.

Keep your eyes closed till I count 5. 1,2, 3, 4, 5….open your eyes…welcome back”

23min- If you do little bit…even one minute…even answer the role call in the class “Yes I am present” just ask Master can I go now? Be careful of your diet…people feel we vegetarians is good enough…you need to be light-vegetarian…if you over-stuff yourself you are sleepy and meditation becomes difficult. We all over-eat…me too! I know if we eat half of what we do..we will still be healthy. Lighter food is better you are in concentrating in attention. It improves clarify in your own professional work and spiritual work. These perks are we become more proficient and improves overall efficiency. But if you over-stuff yourself and eat meat…why do we say don’t eat meat? Meditation is an art of concentrating attention behind the eyes…what food and how much you eat effects your concentrating of attention. Extinguishing life of human being effects your power to concentrate your attention. Same is true for extinguishing life of an animal. Even if you eat a vegetable you will be effected but you have to eat something to survive! Even plants we eat have life but they have life of lowest level of awareness. The greater the “degree of life” is based on elements that exists- all matter is made of 4 elements- earth, water, air and fire. Earth is most prominent give us solid shape.Water means liquid. Air- anything that is gaseous and then you say that has heat is fire. Many snakes have no vital heat. Only in human you get 5th element- ether i.e. freewill ability to discriminate and make judgement. Animals go instinctively. Therefore, the most well formed of all living forms is human beings. I went to Japanese group and they thought eating particular kind of rice is secret of enlightenment. That is why the recommendation to eat vegetarian food is for progress on spiritual path but eat light when you are going to mediate. Best time for meditation is early morning- 3am in the morning because its quiet that is the reason. Here you can’t follow that- trucks follow more at night than day time. Therefore, that particular prescription was made for places that are quiet. Even meal should be either very early or light…small tip but make a big difference. Anger scatter our mind…I find satsanghis in one home…I went to home and this guy was so angry with his wife…anger has spread his attention all over.

Meditation can be done at anytime and best time is when you are most alert and not had a heavy meal. It is a subtle art of balancing life outside and balancing your experiences inside.

35min- Meditation does not interfere with your active life. Any of these things can come in the way. Something we don’t know what’s interfering in meditation. Think about what happens before you meditate. Suppose you were provoked too much…don’t meditate! Just think of the master…master I see it. By saying that…Master forgive me and the other person also. I never knew the value of forgiveness…its so amazing! We are sometime doubtful this is never forgiveness. My wife read a though of the day. There are something in life that are unforgivable…that’s the best thing to forgive! The mind is so powerful. Chose forgiveness…if you meditate, it doesn’t work. At that time you have to go without closing your eyes master forgive me and forgive that person…instantly you will find that change. How to balance spiritual journey within with life outside is to consider life outside as an extension to the spiritual world/ life. Consider job as a duty as a job for the master. Suppose every act you do, relationship based up on this thinking you are in spiritual life 24/7. I don’t talk to you from books…I am sharing an experience created by this GM who’s bhandara we are celebrating. Take full advantage of this day. I will now go and put GM’s blessings on the food you are able to eat…secretly I will also eat some. Then I come back here.

Spiritual path is to convert your whole life into a spiritual life. Therefore, master is the centre …it’s help us to do everything with that centre.

43min- Tomorrow there will be a short program of story telling and then there will be more interviews. You have heard for all these days the great grace comes to us and you experience it today. It’s great day to remember if for a long time. It’s beautiful if we start our spiritual journey on basis of having most beautiful experience to go back to our true home. I am wearing a different cap right now…I appreciate the cap right now. I wear different cap on different occasions. The dome inside us is the BEST cap. To remind us where we want to worship…they made structure same way. People were wearing hats and headgear with lot of things on top of it. We find the truth is inside which created all things at many stages of discovery. There are beings (one with a soul)…inside where we meet those inside they are performing function like we perform here. They do all kinds of things, and all souls who are having those experiences by virtue of their karma. We have made models of those ‘gods’ as they can be seen inside…we start worshipping them. Those are functions performed by beings attained for their good deeds. That is why you should not worship anything…you should worship your highest, which is your goal. Therefore, if you can do that, then you are not messed up with some of them which turn out to be negative. Just by having an experience, we start thinking it’s an internal thing and start worshipping it. When you get initiated by PLM, you are given empowered words of simran…none of these things attract your attention or worship them…automatically they disappear. Mark your goals where you want to go- the highest then don’t start worshipping the ghosts. Astral god controls Astral and physical plane. All heavens, hells are there all origin of physical universal is there so looks like proper place for God…so God is there he will welcome you. You can get stuck there, journeying alone with meditation alone can catch you into that trap. Therefore, I recommend go with your master. When he goes with you, then you have a very different experience. God notices you with your master, he steps down from his throne and bow down to your master. This God is also a soul like ours…he cannot go any higher or lower and till he finds a PLM in physical form in order to go back. Eventually you realise how far your master is taking you and makes you as big as god himself and merge and find no difference between you and the master. He guarantees he will make you exactly like himself and then merge and become one. Your master was totality at all times. It reminds me of a story of a king who wanted to make everyone happy and disguise himself to see everyone happy. Once he went to a forest and found a wood cutter. So he felt pity for him, he said I have some connections with the king in the palace. He said you must be mad anyone can go to the king they won’t let you peep into the palace. So I don’t believe it…you are a vagabond and teaching me something to leave my own job. Come and cut tree with me and I will know you are my friend. King began to cut tree and sell them and become friend. Look I want to show you I know one guard…at least we can ask him if we can peep into the window. After becoming friend he takes him and give sign to guard not to tell him who he is…so guard gave them permission to peep inside the window. This guy was very impressed…and he peeped was amazed how big palace was. Let’s good back and cut more trees. Next time he said he will let you have a walk inside…so next time guard let them in and run in. So he goes and advisor comes and we just want to see where king lives…so they open the palace such a beautiful throne. They cut wood..you know I asked that advisor you can meet the king also. So now he has confidence he has some connection to show him the king himself. So he goes in …where is the king and this man sits on the throne I am the king. Why did you not tell me the first place…he said I told you but you didn’t believe me. That’s how PLM are…they are like ordinary people and they become our friend. That’s how our mind has to build that confidence step by step. We really don’t know what a master is…it is very difficult to know as our mind don’t let us know. As he reveals himself more and more then we do gradually. Even when we have intermediate experience, we look at physical master he keeps on changing into something more loving and more loved. So this is a path of discovery of reality comes in phases. We discover the levels of the master in form of human being. He doesn’t operate on this level only…master takes responsibility of many souls on many levels. I am very happy I could share these experiences with you and make this Bhandara success. How many of your feel there was some deficiency left and it was not perfect. Thank you for enjoying this bhandara along with me and getting benefit from it as I always do. This is day of remembering and paying tribute to my master ❤ Thank you very much for joining me.
