Video Description: Welcome friends to this second day of our three-day program in Corfu, Greece. Today as you already know is Guru Purnima day to respect all the gurus on this planet to help the mankind. It is a day we celebrate all the gurus…the true guru is our own self. We talked about the spiritual path and method of practising self-realisation via surat shabd yoga. Totality of Consciousness means there is no division, there is only one. How did we become so different from each other? Who is the one? One self is only one self, even at this time.

The total self is the same as this self but we are in different level of awareness and consciousness to have different experiences because consciousness by its very nature has the capability of being consciousness of anything.

Ishwar Puri Ji

6min- What was before big bang, no answer? If not time and space, where did the big bang took place? They are not saying must have been another big bang for this big bang took place. That black hole must have been the big bang…conclusion is whole universe is recreated and absorbed…very thing there has been a dissolution have taken place written in old scriptures. If no time, everything will disappear. Time is translated as kaal in Hindi. Time created all negative powers and is in each one of us…we have a soul which is part of consciousness operating as a unit…time got attached and now called mind. Mind creates time and space here so the trap of mind is so big that we cannot get out of it. When we talk of PLM, who when among us is experiencing beyond time. If you are a friend of a person who has that awareness…that is why PLM becomes a true friend of ours…and in friendship we walk together. ❤ Ordinariness of a PLM is necessary for friendship. That is why its so important to understand role of a PLM as human because he has come here as friend, co-traveller. An old story told of a king in India he was a generous king. He disguised himself to see how people live. He walked into forest and saw a poor man who was cutting trees. He told that man look I can take you to king’s palace…he said don’t talk nonsense. He convinced him…to go with him…he tell guard can we just peep inside…and guard is OK and this tree cutter is surprised…slowly they became friends and sell wood in market place. Next time he is building up faith that maybe has connection…ultimately he takes him inside to see king from a distance….eventually he gets permission and throne in empty…I am going to look at the king…the man sits on the throne I am the king…if I told you first how would you believe I was the king. Our mind, which is a unit of time, that mind itself creates doubt its part of its function…when it does it also create fear. Every time we say we know something mind say I am not so sure! The mind will create doubt about anything…supposing you are able to separate the mind, then doubt and fear disappear. Great life to live without them…meditation leads to a state where mind works independently, where you become spectator of mind. Definition of soul being separate from mind is not known to people…we are the conscious power that empowers the mind. I want you to have a little practise of this right now so it helps you with meditation in the future to see the mind at work. Mind is always work…thinking is its work! You don’t become the thoughts…allow the mind to think whatever it likes…you wonder how bizarre it is what kind of thoughts it has. You make the mind think what you want to think. How many of you are ready for this meditation.

20min- Thoughts can be words and pictures. Let those things past…don’t think, make any comment, just watch them. How many of you could successfully separate yourself from thoughts / mind. Go back to the same place, put mind thinking…think these words…think of image of my master/ beloved. Close your eyes. How many of you could succeed in directing the mind of only think of what you want to do…very good progress. Intuition exists is all of us automatically, question is whether we use it or not. Most time you will find gut feeling is always right. The mind has taken so much control over us that it does not allow our intuitive knowledge to function in daily life. This gut feeling that comes…the mind’s knowledge always takes time but intuitive knowledge never takes time. We don’t use it…we use mental knowledge all the time and therefore we suppress our intuitive knowledge/ self. Mental knowledge comes by thinking about it and intuitive knowledge comes suddenly. In order to make sure you understand intuitive knowledge, it’s supported by coincidences. There is a corresponding coincidence happens outside to confirm this (intuitive) knowledge is correct. Intuition should be the secret of what to do and how to lead your life inside and outside…the reasoning power of mind should be used to implement what you decide intuitively. We have made mind our master…it is supposed to serve us and we have turned slave into our own master. There was a old story of Aladdin who found a lamp and a big genie appear…amazing story. Where a little boy became slave of a genie. A friend of Aladdin came and asked why you are so unhappy now? A friend gave a hint…tell Genie come a large pole dig into my room…say genie go up and down till I give you the next command. This example is same as our mind like genie is so powerful and make it repeat the simran till you want to think of something else. This story illustrates we give so much power to mind…the mind is dead without power of soul…we should use mind…its a very useful thing but it’s a terrible master. Mind puts doubts and fear into you. Our life would be so different, our attitude would be different towards life if we use mind and not allow mind to use us. Retail your power. There is another face of the mind which effects us badly. We are the face of the mind called EGO. Ego means ‘I’ which is front face of the mind. When mind wants to assert itself, it brings ego. Love and compassion is natural to soul. Mind tries to do things which we do not like…we react…we rebound…the mind wants to fight because ego is built like that. Ego separates us and is the face of the mind. Ego does not help us. There is another problem, we have an individual feeling and only way to do is via ego (i.e. ‘I’). How do we match this ego coming in the way of meditation and yet ego being used in our daily life. If you have a PLM as a friend and you know he has power to control within you, real master is inside us and operating through the outside. When that master inside is functioning and we know it…if we do not use our I ego but put it on master inside…everything is done by him. Your ego does not function the same way and master takes the responsibility. Things will smoothen out outside life as ego is not coming in the way. This is a good device if you are initiated by a PLM then you can put everything on the master and take your ego out of it. Nobody can see this but you do…its a wonderful way to experience it.

37min- What is initiation? Its not a way of teaching anything. Initiation does not mean transfer of any words or mantra. Initiation is a perfect living master functioning with awareness of all levels of consciousness while he is working with us. Such a person when he says I accept you and we will go together…that is initiation. The rest is only formality to satisfy our mind. Love and devotion takes us back home between master and disciple. His love is unconditional/ non-judgemental. He knows we are all trapped into our karma. He is full of compassion for us…he is judging is our inside soul is yearning to go back home. Initiation is a moment in our life where he will accept to take you home. There was a very poor man in India…living in a village who suddenly felt GM was calling him from a dream he had. He travelled on foot for few days with a bag with basic necessities. He kept on travelling and arrived in the dera…master was coming out of the door (I was behind)…this poor man threw his bag and put his head on master’s feet and thanked and please initiate me. GM said what once again? You were initiated when you left your village…you mean the formality I will tell you words tomorrow. Initiation is not giving a mantra where such a begin whose consciousness at all time is functioning from all levels for all beings on those levels who accept them to take them back home. He becomes your permanent friend. In my own life there is no greater event than getting initiated by a PLM. The first change is you have a friend forever who will never leave you…even you want to leave him. Such a friend does many other things- biggest thing he does is that law of karma which requires so much of our karma goes into reserve sanchit karma. We have collected so much of it that kaal is really happy to create thousands of reincarnation. When initiated, the entire sanchit karma is burnt off. Very big change. Karma we create picks up from so many lives in the past, some events may not be from the immediate past. Without sanchit only from one life…next life is from one life. A person once asked me, once you are initiated, you cannot have more than 4 lives? I will share a personal story of my father- once he could not attend satsang and he heard from someone GM saying people only have 4 lives after initiation. Lekh Raj why are you worried, this is your last life! Gm explained those initiated and carry out instruction of master this is their last life. Those who cannot carry out and mind prevails so much they may come for one more lifetime. Only those who give up path entirely, they come for 3rd time. Those who crucify master come for 4th life. If we don’t go true home, we can go part of the way.

48min- In Astral plane much bigger and richer and how beautiful it is…radiant/ shining there and they can see it in meditation but when we die either via meditation or physically we go into that state. That state has an overlap between physical and astral state where we have access to both sides. Master Ji talked about Bhoot and Pret. This overlap of astral and physical is a huge area with so many souls are there because of their desires and attachment. We are in a hurry but masters are in no hurry as they stay with that person at all stages. But people never become back more than 4 times. We can access to all these when we are on physical plane. All of you can verify as its all inside your head…the 10th door through which you look inside. Meditation is a very wonderful thing in so many ways to think differently. You can go on that and examine. You can verify…verfied truth is one you should accept but don’t reject what you have heard! Sometimes an impression is given that only way to know you are making progress is what you seen inside. Story of my master’s master Baba Sawan Singh…he was initiated by Baba Jamil Singh. When he was not a guru but disciple of Swami Ji of Agra…he wrote a letter to him…my mind is missing you so much…I want to have your darshan…please give me time to come to Agra to have your darshan. My son Jaimal Singh I happy to know your soul is roaming high! Jaimal Singh thought this must be for someone else as my soul is going nowhere. So he wrote to to Swami Ji again…I see nothing inside at all. All I felt so much I missing you so badly…I just wanted to see you. Please give me a date when I can see you…after a month another letter comes…by beloved son I am happy to know your soul is going on higher region…master wrote if you want to see me come in the first week of next month. He arrived and presented those two letters to Swami Ji…my soul have no experience of higher region. Swami Ji laughed and said let us go and meditate. A very sweet story. Then Swamiji said sometime when disciple have to do work outside…but their seeking is very strong inside Master can blindfold them so attention can be given to karmic obligations outside. Sometimes Master will put blinders so we feel progress our attitude changes…and we dont know what they are due to…so just because we haven’t seen something inside it does not mean there is no progress taking place. Attitude changes where people outside can observe it faster than you can. And you feel very different. Light will come. Who is the PLM who say’s I am your friend and take you back home…master than initiated you in your final life. Therefore, masters who are perefect they also know whether you are on List A (they will take you back) and List B (you will be taken back home). Best thing is always go and check them out otherwise they remain mental teachings…make them personal teachings. Meditation with quality with intense love and devotion for the master…seeing him…is very different from merely doing it as a chore.

1hr3min- You should try to see one little step forward everyday. Leaping into an experience I know myself one of my friends was so keen…when his soul went to universal mind…saw all people/ friends were building blocks it was a huge shock. Everything we see here in slow motion…its like a movie. This life is also a still picture. Perception of still picture lasts. Same thing here, no movement but yet we see movement. The mind persistence of vision is much greater and rapid…its observing life today you can put everything on a digital chip. I use my telephone, these are all digital numbers coming through. What looks so real are made up. But we don’t care to see because projection from where they are made up are inside our mind. Film is not real it was prepared long ago. We laugh, joke, cry. I have a tendency of crying in movie and my kids carry extra hankerchief for me. This is a movie…light of the soul comes through the film of the mind…which was prepared earlier and shown to us on 3D screen and we think its shown here. Take it easy…slow by slow if you take it too quickly it can be a shock. Master say go stage by stage. You are an actor in the same movie…most interactive movie you can ever see in the life. When these actors act in our film they want to act as characters. There was a movie named Gandhi with Ben Kingsley acted. For 6 months I did not allow them to shoot them to movie until I felt I was Gandhi. That best movie is where actor think he is the character. You haven’t put yourself in the movie…you put physical body in the movie but you are still in the audience which is hidden in one of the characters of the movie.

1hr10min- This is a subtle subject and proof lies inside you. There is no outside way to convinence our mind these things explained to us unless you go inside. I mentioned to you love and devotion is the most important factor. Love is a pull between one soul and another. Pure love comes from PLM and pulls us in a subtle way…its pulling the soul. Above the mind (casual plane) there is no way to go other than Love and Devotion. We can start the practise right here. Every meditation you do now can be done with Master’s presence. So many of you have a master…how many of you have one. Go back to your meditation chamber…sit comfortably in your chair..no stress…repeat the words/ mantra slowly listening to them and seeing master in front of you. How many of you enjoyed this meditation session? Very good…you see meditaiton is not such a boring thing. Mind has a tendency of loving good things and it can become a good friend of ours. If mind start getting good experience meditaiton becomes easier. I am going to break a little early because the number of people requested one on one has become larger list. I will be breaking now and have about half an hour break.
