Video Description: I will be now taking you through some exercises followed by meditation. Two exercises I normally do is for one how to move attention inside our body. Second is to show sense perception are inside us not outside and then we will do meditation. First experiment, I call it the orange juice experiment. In this experiment, we imagine our body is made of glass. A Live meditation in this discourse. The purpose was to move attention where I asked…it is to show you what is needed for meditation. How to use attention and how to hold it where you like. Now next experiment is the experiment where we will assume that the body is our house…it has many floors…these eyes are 6th floor (because of 6 levels of energy centres from the bottom to top). We are sitting on the 6th floor behind the eyes…there you will sit comfortable on a chair…you can take any chair you like…sit in the center of the head and on the side table on both sides. Place a drink (of your choice), also have some flowers of your choice and on a plate there is a snack…keep these things on the right side of the table…I will give you instruction in this experiment. How many of you could successfully do this?
8min- Sense perception via meditation can function without physical organs of our body. Our memory can recall things…sometime we see things we never see before. Idea of these experiments is to awake beautiful things inside. When you do meditation, you will see many experiences inside. Meditation is done effectively, usefully, only in the 6th floor house behind the eyes. It is not necessarily to have outside things to compare but you compare things inside…you want good meditation chair, curtains, decorations…put them inside. Starting point is our meditation chamber built by nature inside our body inside our head…this area of the head is the ONLY important area where you will find all the answers to your questions. When we go to sleep at night our notional position in the body during sleep this position falls down…when we have dreamt our eyes drop to throat (inside eyes). Many yogis have done practise and had strange experiences. I mentioned to you that the body staircases and an elevator at the back of the spine…people have been able to travel down at the centre. When you want to meditate on heart chakra etc it is easy there is no resistance because mind takes control does not want you to go up. To overcome mind, you must continue to stay on the 6th floor. Meditation people often fall asleep as tendency is to go down. Supposing we want to sleep at night. When we go to higher level of awareness in consciousness we move BACKWARDS than DOWNWARDS and in the centre we move UPWARDS. I am mentioning this as tendency to go down is great for people who have done yogic practises (such as kundalini yoga)…and I have done them so I know what they mean. Which means close your eyes feel you are there and make this floor where you place your chair as firm as possible. When you sit in the centre then you will meditate. Close your eyes you are behind the eyes with nice decoration around you…keep your setup like that so you can meditate everyday. Imagine you are sitting in the centre…imagine you are there…how many of you could successfully repeat and hear words in the head. This is secret of starting meditation…you should be able to hear sounds inside.
18min- The sound comes from within ourselves…those sound are important because repetition of words will result AUTOMATICALLY from the inside and then we start listening to the sound. Sound has capacity to speed up our concentration and lift us up. Tomorrow we will do meditation on the sound. Above the mind the sound transform itself and love and devotion becomes necessary to move any further. I will answers some questions…the peace of mind we are all looking for when our attachment and desires are under control. There is no peace of mind outside so long as you are looking for outside things no peace of mind but when you withdraw your attention and say we are all actors you will get peace of mind. More time you spend meditation more peace of mind will be gained. You will start getting happiness when you spend more time inside. Then you will find even short time every night and day you will have peace of mind. For one week you pretend to be happy (in an experiment)…and tell me after week share your experience…all said we met happy people…therefore if you are happy you are much closer to peace of mind and if you meditate like this you will get real peace of mind. When mind is no longer yourself…you get ultimate happiness as you are soul not the mind. Once you reach that point when you can separate yourself from the mind you will have day and night peace of mind.
24min- What we think is freewill is predetermined but it looks like we are doing it now. Even the thoughts are predetermined. Even way we seek and put effort is predetermined but we don’t know it…therefore we should put in best effort…that is why no exception to that but experience of freewill. That feeling of seeking is important but freewill is in everything in desire to say I have freewill or not. If you have seen God you don’t need a guru but nobody has seen God. Ultimate God in Sachkhand nobody can see…only way to see God is to become God as only way to experience God is to merge in that. When you separate yourself from God…God is total none of us is outside of it. God is Totality of Consciousness. When we speak to God inside us…it is with the mind. We are mistaking our own mind to God. If you have a Guru who have gone above mind he can tell you…we are always mislead by our own mind. To avoid mind to be God confusion…we need a living person who can talk to us..tell us the actual experience he is having…he can tell us this is mind and this is God. He is where there is no time. Difference because teacher and Satguru is teacher teaches you a method a guru makes you like himself. There is a philosopher stone run iron against it becomes gold…Guru’s job is to take us back home and make us like himself. GM he was a human being like us…he was no different…except his awareness has reached totality…he was speaking from somewhere else and that is the definition of Perfect Living Master. Don’t forget Love is not for the extraordinary but somebody ordinary like us…we can experience love with a human being…that is why these masters come as ordinary people. Masters can come again and again. They have merged into totality and come into many form again. He will come again as a new master. Master come again and again. This iron age there are many masters. That is why seekers they draw the masters down…when we seek masters will come no matter which nation, culture doesn’t matter at all. Masters don’t form group…they come for all seekers in all humanity. They come only for the seeker. Follow you religion’s foundation message truth lies inside you and find out.
34min- I was studying at Harvard and study history of religion and I wanted to find out something common in all the religions. Message was same but rituals were different. The only common thing was we were only true religion others are false. We totally forget God is not monopoly of anybody…he is a creator of all. He comes like a human like us…becomes a friend of ours first and master later…therefore if master is not a friend we can’t have that kind of interaction to travel back home. Master manifest themselves in their disciples and become their friends forever. Opposite experience of what we had there we can appreciate our true home. This world of duality so many miseries, disappointments nobody can imagine God can make such a place…they don’t realise God created an illusion to make real thing more appreciative. Kabir in the book called Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) how we have come into this world see misery and when we return home we rejoice more! He called soul that left for adventure like Hans and those that never left are called bans. Hans dance and since with great job and bans ask why are you singing so much…and we say you dont know what you are missing. Karma is created by mind…soul has no karma…karma is created when we come into the world of the mind. It has been created via time and space (past, present, and future) it is a very big illusion. How long is present? You will find present has no time…moment I said now its past…and we all say Live in the Now can we live anywhere else? We are always in now and here…now has no time. Strange kind of experience in timeless now and yet we feel we are going through time. Reason is the short period just gone…we call it present…we call immediate past as our present that is why it is a mistake. So immediate past is now..what is past? Only one way…memory. So creation of past and present is because of memory and think of future. Let us imagine these 3 words- hope (good), fear (bad) and anticipation (neutral) disappear in all languages future disappears. When we hope for something its done in immediate past. The truth is what we think of future is also past! Whole life is a memory…of what…so it must have happened somewhere else. The memory was created at higher level of astral plane. It is a wonderfully designed system. Within the system of past present and future we have linked every experience with cause and effect.
44min- Karma is created by mind through our sense perception that we create with our intentisoon certain actions and that lead to reaction. Even if you have only intension you create karma as its in the mind. Its such a beautiful thing that you are creating it all the time. We create so much karma and consequences of what we think about…it all adds up and we must be here for good and bad. Good karma rewarded and bad karma we get punished. Bad doesn’t get wiped out by good karma…they both go together. Our human life is mixed with both. Only with mix of good and bad we become human. Is it a good or bad combination as normally we say its always be good. People who think extremes they don’t become human beings. What is importance of mixture as its only in human we can have freewill and then seeking and then going to true home. It’s great combination is the most fortunate thing. We are very lucky that t his law is operating that allows us to seek and get out of it. Even with best karma has time on it. They say Krishna…worshipped by millions..when he was a young used to take care of cows with a buddy Udho. He told him nature of karma is not easy to understand..karma is even if you do all the good in the world…one bad thing you iwll be punished by it. Udho look at this ant…this ant was one time Brahma creator of universe, Indra and today is an ant because of his karma. Karma does not attone itself (cancel itself)…punished for bad and rewarded for the good. Mark Twain said go to heaven for climate and hell for company. Mind is trying to get all joys and pleasures and suffer the sorrow outside here.Otherwise this karma is borned byt the mind…in meditation when you go above mind…this body and all is being seen as actors. That is why karma although is predetermined we live like freewill.
Karma is predetermined but we experienced as freewill.

52min- There is a part of the mind which we call conscience…it is that part which is dividing all actions in good and bad. To say that I am hitting because it is right to do so…consicence says that not right…conscience prevails for karma. We automatically builtin internally message becomes it is right and wrong. We grow up in social environment which determined whats good and bad. Law of the land itself…all countires and times have law this was wrong and right…law itself provide then there is morale law by religions they start right from our childhood to build our morality and stored in our conscience. Therefore, the willing mind infront of us does not override conscience behind. Conscience determines the karma (but what about people (terrorists, padeophiles etc.) doing evil deeds…do they not build karma?). Lust is a big problem…most difficult out of 5 vices…it is not the last to go. Lust is because of seeking of pleasure by the mind. If the mind finds more pleasure in meditaiton…lust disappears…as mind seeks pleasure. On other hand…you can be attacted to things inside too and be held inside to go above. Astral is more temptations than in the phyiscal plane. So many initiates of PLM are stuck there…when PLM is kind to us he blinds fold us…that is way to control where we are likely to be held up. Temptations are still very strong in that level but they take away you from lust of this word to next world. To go home…you must wish to truly go home. If our desires to have pleasure of this world…we are stuck here. If you don’t want to have that…please blindfold us…this is an interesting thing that master decides. Each one of us have different set of karma. We have evolved through so many lives and master devides what seeker should do. Baba Jaimal Singh was following a master in Agra (Swami Seth Shiv Dayal Singh) he was in love with his master. There were no iPhones in those days. One time he was missing his master so much he wrote to his master…I am missing you so much please give me permission to visit and get your darshan. A cute story.Swami Ji mentioned when soul is going to higher region…he is not able to see anything because he can get trapped there master are prepearing to ensure they are not trapped there therefore they put a blindfold. All that happened was he could not be missing his master…love for the master if his soul was not ascending. Masters very often block experience to take us higher. It’s good to remember master customised the path for us. Teachers tell same teaching to all.
(Happy New Year 2023)
1hr3min- Baba Ji shared stories of GM and how to gave different response to different seekers depending on their karmic background. It show answer mastesr give is not general answer but appropriate for that person…they customise our path. They give contradictions within their own books. Eventually we find without grace we will never put the effort. In my own family my father got married to my mother…my mother’s mother (my grandma( was great believer in worshipping idol and made a temple in her house. My father saw this and thought this is all superstition and try to convince her mother in law about this that God is inside. He went to GM to share he wants her to take advantage. One day GMcame and want to mother in law and asked you have a temple…can I also go and pray there? He goes and start worshipping..my motherin -law so happy. My son in law is a fool…master say yes we worship whenever we see divinity. She was very happy…my father look like a fool. Eventually she became a devotee of GM โค Master know ultimately what will take us is love and devotion. He once went to a Sikh temple with some controversy…I was also there and we were so nervous. Gurus have been killed so the guru don’t seem to mind and we were prepared. GM want to go to Sikh temple bowed to the Granth…gave donation and sat in front of the book. And read the Shabd unless you can see the face of the guru don’t believe it…and book cannot do this…the people were so effected by this. They put their sword back and most became his discipile. These gurus have not come to give general teachings…you feel guru has come for me only and others are just players around me which is created by guru’s unconditional love with no judgement at all! I will give you another example of GM Sawan Singh…a man came running forgive me…you told me not to drink alchol I drank last night, you told me not to eat meat but I ate meat…I did womanise…last night was terrible…please forgive me…master says ok forgive me…he said thank you thank you and ran. All secretaries say what is this…you just forgave him? Yes he asked for forgivness…what if he does same thing again…I think I will forgive him again…he said don’t put me in categaory of punishers but let me stay in forgiving category..look his mind his punishing him already. These PLM show unconditional love and compassion at all times, which makes them outstanding and we can feel that and pull by that love. Sometime we don’t know what teaching means but to feel that pull of love from them. They gave their instructions according to what’s needed. I am very happy to take these questions…we will have some interviews…rest of you can go. I hope I am able to see all the people โค
