Video Description: Welcome friends for this 3 day program in Corfu. Not only is the weather good views are lovely here. Enlightenment means to know who you are. People who have been teaching us the truth about our own self- Socrates, Plato other great inventors names are endless of Greek contributors to our knowledge. Therefore, I feel its a holy place to visit. I went to Amarnath yatra in Himalayan hills there is a natural cave water drips and creates a form of Shiva from snow by nature…people worship that as true presence of Shiva. I went there with other people they were dressed in saffron, white or ash on their bodies. I asked a few swamis why are you wearing ash on your body? Because our guru told us…I asked you wondered why? They said no…I said so far as I know ash is only put on body as a reminder that this body is not going to last forever…I asked the same for saffron colored clothes…they did not know either. I said this is only a symbol this body will go into the flames. This body is not ourself a temporary cover upon us and we will go away one day…all of us. We should remember that body is temporary and will not last forever. When we misidentify ourself with this body you make a big mistake and start experiencing the world as the only reality. This material world is being experiences only because of your physical body. If you leave physical body something else opens up. Not only is this body not ours but even sense perception, ability to see, taste, smell all faculties worn by us like a body (we call it astral body). We also have a mind is also a covering upon us. A Physical body is finally a body in physical world…when we are covered with these 3 bodies…physical body functions as if it is a self. It can think and decide things. It has free will. This illusion because we have freewill makes us feel we must be creator of our own self so it is a misleading thing being in physical body what you will be doing etc therefore you are the final make of your own destiny. I had a strange experience in India…I went to interview in Indian Navy…I met a turban gentleman (Batra). Very few Batras are left who can know 5minutes ahead. Important lesson I learnt was what I thought he could have read before I could even read it.

13min- If we could see whole of the future we would discover, freewill doesn’t belong to us at this level. Our true home has only Totality of Consciousness a state that has never been created or die. The would has not been separated from separated for experience only. When I was a young child I was on the path because my family was on it…I rebelled against this path and for many years I try to follow other paths. During that period, some satsanghis (santmat) said we are individual souls…drops of the ocean…and our job is to find a perfect master to travel back to our true home and we will merge in it. I said this is the most stupid thing to do as now I have some identity and if I merge into an ocean I lose all its a lose-lose game. I was mistaken…we are a drop of the ocean but in the ocean itself as we are the ocean. Spiritual path does not involve any journey but journey of awakening awareness. We are the ocean. Drop size is determined by level of awareness. We are the ocean in a drop! This discovery changed the whole thing. Right now our destiny has been made by ourself…yes but not here! This destiny has several parts- interesting how it is setup. We have freewill, we have a mind to think and decide, we are placed in circumstances for which we have no control. When you look at human life you will see 70-80percent is fixed by circumstances not in our control and within that we use our freewill experience. What is this large destiny we come with? Prarabdha…fate/ destiny we are born with. Accidental meetings happen, which are already here written up. The morale self in human being to decide what is good and bad (conscience). Law of karma operates whatever you do..if you do good you are rewarded if you do bad you will be punished. We are continuously making decision and continuously creating action/ kirayaman karma. All human beings have mixture of good and bad events in their life. If we have all good karma we would not be here.

23min- When we look at human life we find one good thing about it…in fact that good thing supersedes all the bad things. The very experience of freewill we have whether right or wrong…the feeling we can decide makes us a seeker beyond what we have! It makes us a seeker to get out of this mess. If you look at all other forms (all living things have the same soul) – when you are in those other forms tree cannot decide what to do, insects go by instincts etc. preprogrammed in them. In Indian scriptures there are 8.4million species. 5.4million are with plants! Only 1 form has freewill and that’s the human form. What about angels they have no freewill as they know their future.

27min- Human being is made in the image of creator, it does not mean creator has eyes, nose or has a body but means we have the experience of freewill and creator has freewill. To be one with the creator is goal of true spiritual path. PLM have gone beyond mind. What is beyond mind is unchanged and they are perfect in that sense and don’t have temporary state. PLM are ones that take us beyond the mind and they take us to our true home. They are very rare…because our seeking itself is always for small things. PLMs come for those who are seeking to go back home and beyond their thinking and desires. But there are many masters who can help us and give us great fruits right here and take us to whole creation to mind is made up (Casual plane). People talk of Akashic records and I often wonder how they know…truth is whatever destiny we have here…they are all created in the casual level of our mind. Casual plane is accessible via meditation and there all levels of destinies are stored there. When we come for first time (before time) we have no karma at all…you cannot have a life without karma…so how can we have first time entry without karma. So we bring a DVD with DVD of past lives attached to it which we have never lived! Only karma was to pick up that DVD…we came here and found we have a past life…one DVD create millions and infinite past lives and they become our past lives. It’s amazing how we can enter into a time-frame where it appears we have always been here. Most contradiction happen due to combining different levels which may not apply here. We learn how to meditate to go within ourself to be unaware of this body. Use of attention and power to concentrate this attention where we like is crucial. This power of putting your attention wherever you like and subdue everything is most useful in meditation. The self that lies inside us makes this body active. These are very useful tools given to us. When we use these powers, we discover who we are. There is no difference in anything outside and inside but only we are putting attention outside. There is one problem…all our lives we have been taught to focus attention, i.e. how to put attention out of yourself. You can’t focus attention inside yourself…people have made this mistake for years. Therefore, there is a difference in focusing and withdrawing attention. Big advice to meditator is to have constant guidance who has already travelled on this path. I am saying this to you because I have met thousands of people initiated knowing the methods of going within not succeeding, they haven’t understood value of withdrawal of attention (rather than focusing attention). GM said you missed out that you do not have to see yourself, you have to BE yourself and where your attention is going out from which is behind the eyes in the centre of the head. It is behind the eyes you are currently sitting there and that is where you have to BE THERE in the centre. Feel that the head is around you…it requires the feeling you are pulling yourself and you are behind. He explained to me further.

44min- Imagination is another gift given to us as it makes us feel where we are. Actually on the path if you are lucky to have initiation from a PLM you have great guidance available to you inside. The problem is only in the beginning…first few steps and if we have taken them correctly and have radiant form of the master inside…then he takes over. Why Master does not take over from right here than inside? The physical form is a projection of the real master inside. My question was answered. So then he told me that the power of imagination can be used like this. He said raise your finger and sitting on top of the finger…bring it down and now jump in…there you are. It’s the same imaginative self. When we do good meditation, the starting point is very important. This is a path that takes us to many levels. Master can only take you up to where he or she has gone. Each level that is higher than the physical level of awareness looks final. When we withdraw our attention, people are afraid of dying…truth is you do not die…this exercise does not kill you. It only makes you feel you are leaving the body which does happen when you really die. The process of meditation is like that…to withdraw attention to discover who is inside you …except you don’t die. Your breathing goes on normally…only you are simulating withdrawing attention. This path is open to all human beings.

52min- You can withdraw in that body with same process. You can fly, in the sky opens up in the new world the light is always there, light is being created in the world there. Its an amazing experience but that’s the normal life there. When you reach that point you discover that self of yours, is not this. It was that self which could see which was planted inside that body. You can have experience of seperation but shifting your attention from this body to that. Youare in the phyiscal body operating from a notional point behind the eyes. The average life of astral body is 1000 to 3000 years. If you were to meditate in the same way you would then find you can become of the astral body (sense perception) and hten you are entering your casual body (mind) then you discover with your own memory how long you were…life there is 3 to 5 million years and can recall what you have been through for million of years. We are lucky one born to have these experience by so called freewill. Up to that point, this is all world of space and time in which duality exists. The mind has power to reason, logic none work beyond the mind. The power that extent beyond is power of love, devotion, intutiton, beauty and joy which belong to the soul. True faculties of the soul. These come automatically you cannot learn these.

1hr- PLM pull us via love and devotion. These system of meditation all these are methods are point to go where PLM can take us higher and beyond. I have experimented personally several meditation techniques as I was a rebellion as I was forced into it due to my parents followed Santmat. So I said I must explore- when I got intiated GM himself said what I am going to give you what I got from my master…it worked for me…I hope it works for you. If you find something better take it…but do me a favor…share it with me so I can take it too. I took him very seriously but what I discovered in my entire life…seven decades plus no one has able to give me anything better but describe anything better. So I am very happy…I found the best and I want everybody else to find the best. It’s not a cult! Indeed it is the truth of all religion that truth is inside you. You don’t have to change your religion, follow it carefully and find what original religious scripture said. Therefore, this is a gift and we have to make use of it IF we are seekers. Our life does not have all happiness..nobody have otherwise we won’t be human being. Some appear to have more happiness but truth is suffering and happiness are very balanced in our life. Suffering seem to extend the time. Suffering is one long moment but when we are happy time just passes. I had a friend of mine in San Fransico …oh I am very happy Ishwar…just an old Satsanghi came…let’s meditate together. So I had to get up at 3am for meditation. He is sitting next time we are both meditating…we will meditate 2.5hours (prescribed time). He was meditating but every now and then I would open my eyes to glance at him…everytime I looked he was looking at his watch..I kept quiet. 2.5hours and I dont know how many times I have must looked. I said yes my friend we had great meditation but you meditated on your watch LOL. Some people have great riches but less happy and those happy can be very poor. I try to examine them..its a fair distribution of karma between us. A seeker is not one that seeks…I am done with this …I want to go home. We came here for adventure..the souls came here to have an adventure…every body we created ourselves all designed to create different experiences for us. But we got so caught up. We came to have a good ride, experience of duality…we came in world of pain and pleasure to apprecaite our own original state. We appreciate who we are where we are. But thank God we made some arrangement to go home. I seen movie Inception where a person can go into a dream state and further dream state and what I noticed was it is really true of our dreams also. Time is very different in different state. What you can have 5-6min can have a lifetime. One of the characters there had a dream sequence…he felt that he was born, got children, became grandfather and when he was dying…he woke up…whole dream lasted 7minutes! Look at us we are dreaming from our true home in our sixth dream.

1hr13min- I want there should be daily progress…need not be a leap but little progress in different ways. I will talk tomorrow on little signs of what is progress. I will take a break now ask any questions if you have any. That’s a good question…if you are able to concentrate your attention sufficient behind the eyes that feel you there you will hear sounds inside. But those sounds can also be within the body and physical sounds…10-12 kind of sounds (thunder, train stopping, whistling sound, cricket) all are coming from within but generated at current level of consciousness. Then sound coming from within ourself of consciousness…its the peal that pulls you within yourself…its a big aid in meditation to hear that sound. Some people get frightened by it…GM used to say true meditation should be in small steps…then there is no fear. We will do some meditation experiment tomorrow and day after.

As soon as you have collected sufficient attention behind the eyes…you will hear The Sound.

1hr18min- Good news is we never came alone but in a bunch and among group was a PLM. This arrangement I also saw in the movie Inception..where they carried a little Totem. Totem with us is called a Perfect Living Master ❤ When the soul did not divide one and many here…but in true home itself. Many provided opportunity to provide experience of love between many souls. Ocean of Love by Anurag where kabir and his disciple have conversation. Since we have a little time I thought we can do little meditation excercise. First is called Orange Juice Experiment…by imagination we think this body is made of glass and completely hollow inside but we can, through imagination, pour orange juice inside. In this body there will be some valves built into finger tips of hands and toes of the feet. What we tried to achieve was power of imagination, and the power to move your attention where you like. These are things we would need to successfully do meditation.

1hr24min- In this excercise you will imagine that you are sitting in the head. This body is a house with 6 floors and you are sitting on the sixth floor behind the eyes. There is a stair case and elevator at the back. This is a nice house. Sit in the middle of the house. Put pillow and chair there and get the best chair you can as its free and sit relaxed on it. When sitting there also imagine you have a side table (right side) which have a cup of drink and bunch of flowers and some snacks on a plate. Once you have done that…close your eyes…you are on the sixth floor…make sure floor is very firm. Put a nice rug on it make it a beautiful place, lovely chair and you are sitting on it. Pick up flowers and look at flowers…look at the colors…have you seen these colors before…turn the vase around and see other side of the flowers. Is something happening to the flowers? Bring the flowers near your nose and smell it…what kind of fragnance is this. Look at the flowers again…have they changed color…seen flowers like these before? Put the flowers back on the table. Pick up your drink and drink it up and see what color it is…is it your favorite drink? How does it taste? Do you remember this taste? Take another sip..does it still taste the same. Put the cup back on the table. Pick up your snacks…and see are these your favorite snacks? Take a bite and see how they taste. Put them back again…pick up the snacks again and see if they are same snacks and take another bite…what is the taste like do you remember this taste? Put the plate back on the table. Keep your eyes closed till I count 5….welcome back ❤

1hr32min- All imagination comes from the astral plane. When you did your excercise bulk of your attention was in this body. Reality depends on the attention. Sense perception exists where this body does not exist. Some of you may still have taste of the snack in your mouth. There was a very prominent dancer in India. She said I can’t understand how you can call this world maya (or illusion). I call it creative reality. We are saying its reality created by experience and because we have the real experience so things that are creating it are real also. And we have no other way to know what’s real or not. So maya is not there was no glass the glass was confirmed by sense perception but when I woke up that glass was created by my experience…only when you wake up you will know…no other way. We stretch out through this power of consciouness that we can creat expeirence of many.

1hr39min- There is a play going on within itself and goes down to this level where we are where we have wonderful experience of many. We go through world of duality. Mind was a very good device…mind could think….put things in a time-frame, create karma…put events in time and space. Mind was a powerful thing. If no experience can take place without duality how can we experience our true home, becasue world of duality is opposite to our true home. Till we have experience of final state of totality we only go through one level of reality. How do you know you are awake? Because the fact that we remember we slept. Suppose we forget we went to bed…we will never know whether we are dreaming or not. But we have certainity of wakefulness by recalling we went to sleep. So at one time, you have one reality and other becomes dream like. We always count upon one level of reality. Its only when you reach the top and become one with totality of consciousness you will know all the realities at the same time as they are all made up at same time. It won’t be necessarily then to close your eyes to go to different level. Basic levels are physical world, astral/ sensory is non-physical, next is casual where its just thinking machine powered by your soul…all ideas comes from there, its a wonderful state and then you go back home where this is no time and space exists. You can see all that. This is a biggest difference you will experience in different levels of consciousness- time. Here time flows with watches and clocks. Here because watch controls our time right from past, present and future or so we think. I was advised to read a book “Power of Now” and man who wrote say we should live in the now. I think we all live in Now….and now has no time as the moment I saw now its past.

1hr48min- What has just happened we think it is now. So there really is no present, what we call present is merely past. Past is nothing but memory. What about future- hope, anticipation, fear…if we delete these three words from dictionary…there is no future. We are creating future with these three things…create it with same time as present which is immediate past. Therefore, if we carefully imagine- there is no time we are creating it via memory. This means what looks like flow of time is merely a capsule of memory which I call DVD from Akarshic records. But time looks so real. We can’t halt this time. Freeze is a real process of stopping time…but you can stop at will (at astral level). When we still go higher up to the casual plane in the mind…there time is stationary…time is like a road. All creation in our DVD at the akarshic level is placed on a fix time but we move! We time-travel as we are all doing it right now!

We are where we are experiencing we are.

1hr53min- Everyone via meditation following simple principle of going within can find out…it is difficult to explain these experiences. I always try to explain it best I can but I know I don’t…reality lies inside us. The more we go within the more we discover ourself. These eyes are a big dividing point with this human body with upper part is all about higher awareness and below are centres of energy (six of them). This body is cleverly made up. The greater miracle is when this body becomes alive…the living part of it is added on it (sensory perception, mind and soul). It is the soul that makes it all alive! Without soul we will all be dead. Human body is top of all creation next to God. Who made God? The answer is (even in many scriptures). In Rig Vedas it says in the beginning was the naard, it created all things including creator. In James Gospel it says In the beginning was the word, word was with God and word was God. Same is said in others where there is power that made everything including God. Why did they call it sound???? The reason was simple even at the last level we can still hear ourself as it is audibule. Power of truth can be heard so best thing to use was sound, music something that says it is audible. The ringing bells in us are ringing before we were born and yet we ignore that and go outside to listen to sounds. Then we pick up sound of ourself i.e consciousness…consciosuness is conscious of itself. That’s why that’s great key if you want to find who you are follow the sound of yourself. Surat Shabd Yoga…Attention Sound Union with your ownself…I find this is the best way to find the inner sound. I want to now introduce now brief lunch break for you.
