Video Description: I am happy to be among you…its great to be travelling together to the same destination. We have tried different pathways and they are different because we travel via mind. When we go beyond the mind we are all on the same path. Soul of each person is the same there is no distinction between soul of one person and another. It empowers this body, senses, and mind. Mind never stops like our heart. If we stop thinking we will die, therefore mind is always alive and thinking. It’s a good instrument we have been given. These are wonderful things gifted to us and we are supposed to use them. Something has gone wrong somewhere, instead of using these things, we are being used by these things. We become slaves of our body. Sense perception are supposed to give us new experiences and we create desire and attachments. We suffer here due to lack of knowledge of our own self. Therefore, all these experienced people via meditation and reaching the soul within themselves they have told us these are not yourself but addition…if you find yourself you will know what was the purpose of having these things, your true home and you are here temporarily. Even after listening to these people, we still rely upon outside things. You can gather all the information you want and makes you a learned person, but does not give you awareness. Socrates said know thy self…by doing so you will find out your purpose of life and what you have to do to get back. Not easy to follow instruction of these enlightened people. When you close your eyes its all darkness. When they tell us go within means take your attention within. We have been focusing on outwards things all our life. We never practise the art of withdrawal of attention within ourselves. Not only that, but we focus attention on things and concentrate our attention there little realising these are function of consciousness we can perform the power of using attention where we like and the power of concentrating it wherever we like. What we need to do is power of attention to be placed where we like by practising and noticing can we also put attention within ourselves? Within the same place where we are operating from as conscious beings.

11 min- You will find we are continuously operating from behind the eyes in the centre of the head. It’s referred to as the third eye, third single eye from where consciousness emanates. Therefore, go back to where you are operating from. The power of imagination can be used in order to withdraw attention. We are sitting on the 6th floor levelled just behind the eyes and imagine sitting there, then we can really pull our attention to our own self. It’s an easy method, no problem to find it because we are already there. When half sleepy, you will touch your nose than your eyes. This notional point where we operate does not stay fix in the body. Same when higher level of consciousness, it moves backwards and upwards. When you reach the state when you can use sense perception without the physical body, the world looks different as it changes law. It is not very difficult to do because when we die…we don’t die! If you can copy the actual process of dying without dying…dying while living….and tell anybody else what it’s like! How do you do that? You notice when people die, they die in stages. Death does not mean end of life, but change of form. When you have that experience, strange things happens. The biggest thing is that you have always been there before you came into this body. That body’s age, very different from this body. It flies on its own, it can transmit knowledge via telepathy. So many new experiences come up by a shift in consciousness. Sense perception themselves are the body. The experience of dying while living is a great experience to show us this body is mortal and inner body does not die. We discover that body has limited time in existence but it lasts much longer than this body. Average age of astral body is 1000-3000 years and then we find another body inside it which is our own mind …we can it a casual body. All experiences we have now is due to the mind. It causes all things to happen…we call it time and space. It put experience in time and space and we create past, present, and future.

True meditation for self realisation does not consist of focusing of attention on anything except on yourself within yourself.

23 min- We have through this mind created a endless, infinite space and time. This remarkable power of mind makes us feel that we are trapped at one moment (we call now), there was a post and there will be a future. We use a thinking machine to think. We are that which is giving power of mind to the senses. The mind itself does not have immortality. We pick up a package of memories. We have no time to have karma before we got any karma? The answer is simple- we picked up a package of karma, that contained past and future …we came in the middle carrying with us a huge pass of infinite life and future. Once we were here and made karma for us…then karma became real for us and we start getting lifetime after lifetime. I must say we didn’t come here to see shadows…we employed illusions successfully to create experience of reality. Also, by sense perception we made it even more real.

We began to judge reality by one sense perception against another. As in a dream, if we ask those in the dream, they will say it’s real. But when you wake up, you discover it wasn’t real. It was a different state of consciousness. The ability to change levels of consciousness.

32 min- When we say there is a PLM, talk of these terms what are we talking about? We are talking about a person who is awakened. He appears in our life as if he is a part of our dream. Therefore, because we cannot find such person on our own, we get a feeling when we get nudged by him…we divide level of consciousness as if we have to go somewhere…we call it ‘spiritual journey’ actually there is no journey we just awaken from one stage to another. True home is where there is one soul where many added on wearing degrees of layers up on us is where we are today. We having heard these things in physical life…we don’t know we are ‘already there’. There are different experiences as we are in mid-journey…one level to another awakening…whichever state we are in looks like the only reality. When we go to higher stage the system of sensory in astral is the only reality and so on. When we reach our true home we discover there was only one and all these are creation of different levels of reality. We became to enjoy many/ diversity different types of experiences consciousness is capable of…therefore these are experiments and since we have tied ourself here and got into state where we feel pain and pleasure are not good for us…we don’t like where they both exist as nature of time is such is because 1hr of pain feels 100hrs of pain and 100hrs of pleasure feels like 1hr of pleasure because mind that is experiencing is used to variety of experiences. We like to choose those more pleasurable. If there was light all the time, you would have never seen it. Only know it because you know darkness. Similarly, if you are always happy, you won’t know what happiness is. We live in a pair of opposites and we suffer negative more than positive. Therefore, we want to go where we can understand both and rise above it. It is an amazing miracle, by creating a world of duality we have made a world of non-duality into its opposite world. We take everything for granted by our consciousness. What kind of power was it that created misery…then we realise all these opposites have been created so we can appreciate the positive side. They were created as experiences. Thank God it was a dream, that is exactly how we feel when we are awakened. If you look at the full picture, it looks perfect. Soul has power to have life in many forms in trees, plants, insects, birds, animals, mammals, us, angels, Gods, deities. All have the same with different bodies. In desi scriptures, there are 8.4 million species. Humans are only one which has the power to go to all the levels of consciousness, all others are living via their karma. They are living by instincts and grow and die by instincts. Only human can say I can think, I can choose, I create…I am the doer…nobody else say that because we are ignorant of what will happen tomorrow, therefore they think they have power to decide what they do. It creates a feeling of freewill and that makes us seek which no other form can seek. Therefore, humans have been described as the very next form of creator himself. Man is made in the image of the creator. Human being has capacity to seek and if one can seek…one can find. The capacity to seek is only granted to this unique form. Therefore, what is the qualification to go back to true home…is that person is a seeker.

47 min- When you become a seeker that’s wonderful and how do you find it? Your OWNSELF in the form of somebody else who is more awake comes into your life. What we call a master and disciple what it means? Its not physical relationship here…teacher teaches you from books but a master is awakened by AT LEAST one level higher than you. Master can take you as high as he has gone himself. The beauty of this guru chela is that a disciple can never find his master. Therefore, trouble is when we seek one who is awakened, can see us better. We don’t find master…master finds us. When the chela is ready, Guru appears. We do not go to our true home friendless. He is friend first master afterward. Friendship is only when its between equal. He comes like us except for his awareness. He is awakened to be able to awake us. How does he reveal himself to us? He creates miracles in our personal life. The more he show the more we know about our reality. We discover he is more than our friend. At the end we are same as him.

This whole show of creation and being able to go back to the level of creator is a beautiful experience available to human being in this human body.

55min- There are six centres below the eyes and tweleve behind the eyes. These centre are not identifical to organ of our body but placed within and provide us experience of energy. When we go to higher awareness they give us different energetic experiences. As you proceed points move backward and in the centre they move upwards. There are many ways for us to pull us to these centres. Pulling of the attention is via imagination then you can also listen to your mind speaking, you can see imaginative images. But best thing is if you can place yourself there via concentration of attention then you are able to hear sound inside.

59min- The more you forget outside the louder sound become inside…within your consciousness. Listening to the sound you are listening to yourself. This way of pulling yourself is a useful way of discovering yourself. Surat Shabd Yoga is attention of the sound seems most helpful to me. The only obstacle I have found is that the mind start thinking of all external things and the pull is out. We control these spreadout of the mind by repetition of pre-selected words have more than simple value than being words. Your own selected words also work provided they don’t have outside conotation but inside. Sounds open up experiences, it pulls you faster than any other means I am aware of. These methods avaiable to us is a remarkable gift to us. Nothing outside…everything is inside. A question is created from an answer, not the other way round. Therefore, as you raise your level of consciouness you will find all the answers are coming to you automatically including secret of this drama that is going on and it is all possible while we are in this physical body. The real temple, church place of worship is our own head in fact. We carry it with all times…we don’t like this or that outside and all religion have the same temple. We have no distinctions when it comes to reality. There is a special function divided between mind and self. In self conversation mind is not in control…little meditational experience you can see yourself being seperate from the mind. The intutitive knowledge that comes to us does not come from the mind but directly from the soul. The mind will always take time to decide anything, even smallest thought but intutition takes no time. If we were to change our life today that we will live with gut feeling…our life will change immediately but we are not doing that we are reasoning think hard and then we make mistake and then we begin to live in the past. Mind’s function creating doubt and fear continously fears us as we treat mind as a master but if we treat it as a servant we direct the mind what it should do. To free ourselves, we have to seperate ourself from the meditation. It’s the most wonderful experience you can have as it opens up all levels of reality. So it’s a great experience and I recommend deep meditation means continouously pull your attention within yourself. I wish all of you great success..we will have a break now and reassemble after a while.

We live in the past so much, the guilt overwhelms us…why can’t we just put it away…what’s over is over. Let’s start from what can be done now.
