Video Description: In the morning I talked about the usefulness of having a human body in which you can find out who you really are as a spirit/ soul/ immortal soul that is never born or dies. Only humans can do this because we have a gift called freewill. This makes us a seeker, and if we seek…we will find ❤ The answer to all questions lies within us. It is like a great treasure in our own head and we are looking for pennies outside. We just require a proper method of meditation on how to withdraw our attention, not focus.

5min- If you mediate under guidance who have already done it, seen the results and can guide us! Without that guidance we’re just hitting like a blind person….so that is why guidance is necessary…from someone who has experience of this. Not someone who is learned and read books. There are two ways to mediate, one to go below the eyes and other to go behind above the eyes. Most yogic practises are focused on putting attention below the eyes- into the energy centres which are running this body. This area of body below eyes is called pinda (physical body)- but the area from eyes above is called anda and bramnda…if you want to have experience of energy you go below if awareness then you go above. Energy leads to energetic experiences. I was at harvard university, two professors were experimenting on Mexican mushrooms. Dr Richard Albert and Timothy Leary and setup a yoga center and there they were experimenting with drugs. In one party I was invited I gave some description. I gave a talk on Turning-on without drugs 🙂 But if you want to have higher awareness beyond physical…that not possible via chakras at all. People have out of body experience- but you are not getting higher awareness of yourself. So the real way to discover who we are is not to go below but behind and above the eyes.

12min- Some people have setup meditation room…but room is earmarked and attention is on the room…mind roams around enjoying the wonders of the nice room. Therefore, the very first requirement for effective good meditation is not to mediate outside on chair but to meditate inside considering this head to be your room with imaginative chair there. That’s the right place to start meditation. If you can think of that where you are looking from by being located there you can start meditating. Most people I have met miss this point…that’s the most important step. If you can place yourself at very place where you see darkness and know you are there…to do that we use a little imagination. This is not you but house where you live (body is your house). If you can do that we will proceed with good meditation.

16min- There is a live meditation session…don’t think of anything except where you are. Keep your eyes closed till I count 5…1, 2, 3,4, 5…open your eyes…welcome back. Mantra is repetition of words…to prevent mind of thinking of other things. These are repetition of words, words which have no connection to the outside world. A mantra does not consist of meaning outside. Mantra is related to inside experiences. If you have to have a mantra which is temporary (not given one) coin a mantra it should be one that deals with spirit…have a short sentence expression your love. Mind always comments…sometimes 2-3 voices within…then a person appears to distract us…secret of good repeating is make them join the mantra. Make it a chorus going on…all repeating the mantra at the same time. Let’s try multi-language mantra…any voice that comes…you all join in the voice at the same time and let’s see how better it works. Locate yourself in the 6th floor of your house on meditation chair…sit in the centre behind the eyes and repeat slowly. Keep your eyes closed till I count 5…open your eyes….longer meditation you will find getting back by rubbing your hands help. During this exercise (multi-voice mantra) did anyone hear any other sound beside sound of mantra…when you hear inner sound (not your repetition) you can switch between mantra and sound…sound of consciousness.

26min- To go beyond mind, we need an element of love and devotion. To have that feeling, you must have a beloved. Very often we have someone we love deeply but we are disappointed in life so-called beloveds. But when we come across a PLM whose love is unconditional it becomes easy to focus on that person and if we have experienced his love…pull coming from there…then we can use that as a figure for expressing our love and devotion. That’s called dhyaan. Let’s try an experiment- add this element to your meditation. Instead of merely repeating words…pause talk to your beloved…look at your beloved…complain …if you have a problem and see how you feel…make it a personal conversation with whom you love. Close eyes bring your beloved and say how much you appreciate and complain how much you are not getting. How many of you enjoyed this? By introducing love and devotion it becomes interesting enough to meditate, otherwise it becomes dry meditation. A friend invited me to San Francisco and he was excited to meditate with him. Actually I was tired and wanting to sleep at night…to keep up the appearance we got up at 3am both meditating …I knew he was a serious meditator so I respected his meditation and I became a little of a old-veteran…while he was meditating seriously I was opening the corner of my eye to see him. Somehow by coincidence when I open to see him he would also open his eye to look at his watch. After 2.5hours…he said we had a great meditating session…only thing I want to point out is it was a great meditation on your watch, not inside! So this kind of meditation with no intensity in it what good is it.

33min- I was initiated by GM and he explained at 3am buses are not running it is just quiet…it doesn’t mean there is anything special about 3am. It’s just a suggestion when it’s least distraction…don’t make it a ritual of meditating at 3am. It’s an experimental way to find out what lies inside us. When we imagine this is a house…then we use concentration to pay our attention there…we have all these gifts. Spirituality is not a religion, and all human beings can do it. Initiation from a PLM is different from learning from a master. PLM don’t come to teach, but to take us back to our true home. Their mission is this soul is trapped in this body and mind and seeking to go out…now is the time to do so. It is different because you have established a friendship with someone who has been to our true home. Initiation does not take place by word, but by establishing relationship right behind the eyes at the 10th door. PLM places himself inside…you go there you will see him ❤ It’s not even a person outside (it’s temporary body like ours)…that’s not the master the eternal master is inside…when a living master outside connects us and we can see as us who is already connected at home he comes and say let’s go together. He says we go together…beyond the 10th door, an initiate of a PLM goes together…a constant companionship. After some practise, you see his form…you are never alone. Loneliness completely disappears. If you have a initiation by PLM, have a big advantage of permanent friend to travel with you. And also, friendship can be seen outside if they are both alive. It’s a very different relationship. When we say we are all one…go and see it…how we are all split in our own conscious experience…diversity of experience, but truth remains the same. GM explain to me very necessary before you even start…first LOCATE yourself behind the eyes before you start meditating. GM then elaborated how to do so. ❤ Once you are there then mind becomes double active…it will think so hard its trying to survive as if we are trying to beat the mind…we are repeating words like a parrot. To prevent that we need to have repetition of words, listen attentively to what you are saying!!! The mind speaks…soul listens ❤

47min- If you want to concentrate your attention…LISTEN to the words is like listening to the sound. The more carefully you listen better your meditation would be. Life itself is short…and requires change of attitude, then you take it seriously, diversions keep us away..takes long time to get that urge of seeking..one lifetime is short period but if we learn from others…cut short our own time. This path is not book knowledge. We are wearing layers up on layers costume. This physical costume, then astral and then mental for mind’s play and we have no costume for soul. Totality of consciousness is within which where we are participating. If you are a real seeker don’t postpone! Main thing is to look at your list of priorities in life…set your priorities right…don’t postpone meditation. Put meditation top…you will be successful.

I will tell you experiential secret…when you put priority on the spiritual path on meditation, things you are giving so much attention gets taken care of by themselves…that means you get some strange inner divine help and they get solved one by one so fast…because your priority was right.
