Video Description: Welcome friends to this local meeting. Now I am welcoming more people. I will talk to you about subject that has been raised in emails I have received. Even those who have been initiated by a PLM on path of surat shabd yoga…what is the role of master, sound and doing anything else as means of meditation of going within.Surat is the attention and shabd is the sound…it sounds too simple. The truth is we are talking about different tools of meditation. I was fortunate to learn this method from my master Sawan Singh Ji. I had chance to compare with other types of yoga and come to my conclusion that in the modern age specially in the west best means of achieving realisation of who we are can be done best by Surat Shabd Yoga (SSY). I am bringing this point of West of predicting by GM in 1936 when he spoke openly to an American disciple Dr Julian Johnson who wrote books after that (such as path of the masters etc.) He predicted that access of spirituality which has been in the East and produced great masters in India, China and M.East and will shift to the West and localise itself in big way in the USA. Seeking for the truth will be shifting itself…seekers itself will shift that West will be tired of gaining materially where they will seek about themselves. This prediction was made a long time back, it’s coming to truth now and I came to ring side seat to see the shift of axis of spirituality change. SSY takes them higher and more easily at this times when there is so much distraction. During this period, SSY will come up as a great method of achieving enlightenment and going back to our true home. Where is our true home? There is nothing up there…where its being projected from is within our own consciousness. The whole secret of discovering is inside us…inside this body of ours in a small section a few inches lying between the two eyes centre of our head. This body is an amazing thing as we have certain centres and they operate through use of a tool that we have. We pay attention to outside things at all times but we do not place attention within ourselves. It can be WITHDRAWN to our own self. How do these yogis operates?

10min- It’s amazing you can concentrate your attention in particularly part of body and have out-of-body experience just using your attention WITHIN the body. Area below and around eyes is a doorway to spirituality. With eyes we see outside and inside. How do we see inside? We all see inside…when we close our eye and imagine something we see! When we dream which eyes are seeing it? The inner eyes. Eyes are doorway to centres of energy which are controlling our entire life. All the interrelations we have are coming from there. There are similar centre that goes behind the eyes that still exist…that system takes us to centre of the eyes. There is a little space (two glands) almost hang from the centre are pineal gland and pituitary body…from there we discover we are not what we think we are and we are not just physical body but have other forms where we have resided a long time. We do not leave our own self anywhere outside…we die that centre disappears in physical body but stays in the inner form of our body which was there longer than our physical body. In that inner body we can do so many things. If we can see that body (via withdrawal of attention to centre of the head) you go there you will find that body has been there much longer. That point you discover, which some people called soul, with that body you can have access to anything. A person speaking French and German can understand each other. Telepathy is unusual but a few people because use they have made of that part of the body. It is the meaning of the words that’s conveyed via that body. We have been handicapped to a large extent. Eventually inner body will disintegrate in 1000-3000 years which is life of inner body.Therefore, when we find that our whole perspective changes..we are wearing a costume called physical body. If you are constantly aware of this- your whole attitude to life will change. That is not all…that is not our true home because we are using a body to have those experiences. But if we can hold attention in that body at the same spot (centre of the head of that body). That body is functioning in a very different way than anything we have seen here. Here we call it our mind…its a machine that works like a computer. It has same feature as modern computer…its the most modern computer and you can go and access it which is also a cover upon your own self. A universal mind exists where all minds exist we generate an individual mind and covered ourself with astral body and sensory perception and physical body and operating with them together without realising they are merely all cover. So what is the self? We are neither this physical body or sensory body that constitutes astral body nor are we are the mind…we are that which is NOT body or dies…we are the spirit of consciousness that makes all these bodies work. We are the source of consciousness.

23min- On spiritual track, they are simple and easy…next step is not easy. When you read universal mind that looks like end of the journey. The 3 universes are born from there so how do we now transcend the mind and go beyond that- where they are no thoughts, logic, rationalisation or anything that we use everyday. There are something’s that we use everyday- Intuition, True Love and appreciation of beauty- these things belong directly to ourselves. At least we have some clue what can take us beyond this body. How do we practise these i.e. use these in system for self-introspection? We love people but when we break up that’s not love. It is attachment. What’s difference between love and attachment? In Love experience is only of one The Beloved ❤ In attachment the ego never disappears. The true way that can transcend these 3 bodies is the experience of true love. How can do so? True love can be experienced- but we destroy it as we shift so fast to our mind/ mental attachment/ reasoning. Using a process of knowledge that is so faulty, which we acquire via our mind to start with because it is based up on premises available to you and no one can see whole world at one go. Logic has this basic deficiency, whether you apply deductive logic or inductive logic- logic has this infirmity in it. Where do love, intuition and beauty goes away? We have that state right now. What happened is we covered ourself and associate with the covers. So how do we trascend all these? Through process called Surat Shabd Yoga. There are 2 kinds of sounds- varnanatmak (sounds such as hear lectures, make us talk- it is continously taking us outside this body for gaining knowledge. It is a great way to learn what to do next. The next step is transfer power of speaking INSIDE. By repeating words without tounge but with our mind. Thoughts are inner speech. What should we speak inside? Let’s examine what we automatically speak inside- thoughts! Thoughts are about things outside the body. So we are filling up our head with things outside our body. Not a good deal. Therefore, you must now how to speak that does not take you outside. So we go to a guy speak inside. I am telling my own example. Use spoken language but use it inside. Don’t use these words but words that should not mean anything outside. So these words have no sense to me…it is called a MANTRA! If you repeat them they have no association with outside but inside. Those words relate to some experiences inside which we haven’t had but guy has and repeat them…what’s the idea of repeating such words? Dhunatmak.

In my entire life, the only thing that can push ego behind is experience of Love.

36min- Another use of it…when you repeat these words with no meaning at least while you repeat you cannot repeat words of the world! Stops the distraction. If these words to repeat is coming from a person who is not only used to knowing what those words means…but has reached the stage of true home…ie from PLM…he changes the power of those words…he empowers those words and become more useful to us even outside us and prevent negativity…negativity will not touch you. If there are entities drag you away…repeat these words to protect ourself from them. Here is the next step- we don’t use the words to prevent our mind but to prevent mind’s negativity to affect us. Then what happens…then you discover by doing simran using varnatmak words hold our attention behind the eyes and start moving inwards and feel we are withdrawing our attention and virtually dying while living! By use of these words under guidance of a master/ teacher you can reach a state that you can have no awareness of your body and feel body has disappeared! Your vision has improved. Inner self is always perfect in sensory perception because it is made up of sensory perceptions…that is the astral body just like mind is the causal body. Where do we imagine from? That astral self. Therefore, the power to experience so much- but more than that the mind which was working under condition of physical body and becomes a physical mind now no longer remembers physical mind but astral mind. No mantra can take anywhere above the lower part of the astral body.

45min- PLM who has guided you with special words, he will be there with you. In order to make progress, to contact same guy who was here as PLM and discover him there. The more you concentrate your attention, faster that guy will appear. He will appear brighter there…as the radiant form of the master. The radiant form appears and become our friend forever. He is there and conscious of his true home from then on we just ride with him. What is a ride? Ride does not take place with use of spoken language or sound…sound changes…it becomes dhunatmak you can listen to it but cannot write it down. Sound comes from the true home…all the way down right up to here and real cause of all experiences. It never stops and that resonance is in us right at this very moment. From this point onwards from radiant form of PLMs works except the resonance. The unbroken sound which changes in form changes not only in resemble to musical instruments. It has a bell sound but it becomes longer one peel…like one long instrument that plays. After that it feels like energy power than sound. Two ways to drive front and rear wheel drive. So long as we are using varnatmak words we are pushing our journey when we listen to sound we are being pulled..that is like surat shabd yoga. There are masters who have taken us to different stages and every stage feels like Sachkhand because they don’t know any better. Those who take us BEYOND the mind where would open (parbrahm) when we go there we discover who we really are. But even a unit of consciousness itself is a illusion. True journey is when we find we are not one unit but Totality of Consciousness. Those PLM are so rare…why? Because even as seekers, we don’t know what we are seeking. Most are seeking relief from stress from this world. Wherever the seeker is, a PLM will appear. Seeker cannot find a PLM. So what is the secret behind it?

53min- Coincidence is how a PLM appears. How do we know a PLM? He will not say he is a master, he will come as a friend, he will live an ordinary life, he will adjust to where we are so he can be a friend. PLM becomes a friend before he becomes a master..otherwise he will be just a teacher. He isnt here to teach…PLM comes to take you back home as a friend. Thirdly he doesn’t come to perform magic…then he is a psychic. If he doesn’t do any of this he is totally ordinary then becomes even more difficult to determine a PLM. Then comes a real clue…if the unconditional love of that person…can be experienced again and again and pulls you…that’s it! ❤ He is pulling us is with unconditional love. If you don’t experience that…wait for your turn. We have been here for million of years…small wait is nothing! We waited lifetimes…no hurry. Other thing is (from other side of PLM) he comes to pickup those who are seeking perfection. If he knows he must appear in those people life…he wins them over and be their friend via unconditional love. He will love you whether you him or not. We dont have to worry about calling him a master or not. No language is necessary…its a soul to soul relationship. He is coming in response to our inner seeking. At that time, when we say who is he? We will have more seriously questions about this subject as this world is projection of our own. We have come and created a world outside. We made him a PLM before we left our true home. It is all out of our control. We physical body made nothing, we mind created all this but on pattern made earlier…when we were in our true home which we are now seeking! In totality we made everything. The whole show was pre-programmed at that time including fact when we are in state of physical experience…we should keep some key to get back. Our arrangement was to carry same sound current which appears in all levels and present something we can experience and that can take us back. PLM is as much creation of ours as other things in the world. Therefore, what happens in our experience with such a person. We see radiant form, he travelled with us and he is merely same manifestation of the same sound. This discovery comes immediately after you start leaving the mind. Every great saint has said the same thing as beginning was the word! How can a word become flesh…word is merely an expression as it resemblance a sound. Therefore, these arrangements have been made by us. Simran, Bhajan/ Shabd (listening to the sound) and Love+Devotion. In Mahabharata conversation between Krishna and Prince Arjun he is giving him teachings of enlightenment. Use physical system (karma) for actions varnatmak…act what your circumstances require but do not think of the fruit. Higher yoga is yoga of knowledge where you will think…when you reach limit of knowledge/ thinking then you will find this is not the answer to your question. Highest yoga is Bhakti Yoga…Yoga of Love and Devotion. We use this processes but many people are mistaken notion of repeating words take us to our true home. Thank you very much for listening so patiently.

Eventually, only love and devotion can take you beyond the mind.
