Meditation Should Be Way of Life | Ishwar Puri (Part 3 of 3)

Video Description: I am once again happy to see all of you. You are co-travellers with me on the same path to go back to our true home, sachkhand. Today I will talk to you about practical side of meditation- how to make it more effective and useful. Meditation should not be taken a something get once and then wait what happens after death. It should be USED and made it effective- in religion we are told we are told we will get results after death and spirituality we can get results while we are here. But meditation should not be treated as a 2.5hour routine, it is supposed to be a way of life…all the time. 2.5hr is just a formula…how can you gain something when 21.5hr is spent on other things? Therefore, 2.5hr is not enough…then that seeker asked GM how much do you recommend? I recommend you do 21.5hr meditation. Very simple- every time you think of your master…you are meditating…because when you do so you are showing your love and devotion to master, which is real meditation. What about simran and repetition of mantra? That should also be done for the same amount of time. You should practice, to make it a habit…mind makes habit. When you have to solve something intellectually, around 2.5hr is good enough for that and remaining you could be doing meditation. Sant Mat is to make whole day into meditation. You will be living in now doing meditation and concentrating on words and thanking master. Complain to master when you don’t like something…that is also love ❤ If you do this as a life-style, master will give you answers instantly. Masters can give answers in both ways, inside and outside (outside via coincidences). I am telling you think from my experience. Our mind sometime has a question and master does not want to give answer mind wants…therefore mind does not want to listen to the answer, but master will give answer anyway. Your full life becomes meditation and spiritual way of living. He will make sure more things will happen where you can say thank you thank you all day.

10min- Do not take meditation as 2.5hr routine but a style of living. If you live that type of life…you will be happy…you will have an unconscious smile on your face. When you are happy…everyone you meet will be happy. When you are happy…you spread happiness. This inner happiness comes without you speaking with your face show it…it radiates it to other people and then you will always feel happy. Then you will affect other people without speaking. If you try to convince nice people, they will run away. You don’t have to persuade people…you should just live and be an example of happiness and they will all try to follow. So we recommend that you have a spiritual life and not do meditation as a ritual. There was a friend of mine (Hira Singh) who had a foundry there beside his home. He was initiated by GM. Baba Ji shared story about him. He was a good colleague of mine. One day GM passed away, I was travelling with an American friend of mine (probably Clarence)…I took him to Hira Singh house. By chance one of the master was giving a discourse in his compound…we can listen to him…master recognized us and called us at stage…I requested master please finish your discourse. He said the discourse finished. This American friend was very surprised. There were lot of other people asking me different questions on spirituality etc. Master went to rest. Hira Singh comes to me and I want to ask you a question. He said my question is we are both initiates of same master…more than 40 years ago, I have been doing meditation 2.5hours regularly without break…followed the vows. But I have seen nothing inside but look like you have seen something. I want to know why this discrimination? You get something and I don’t. Can you give me an answer..why are you asking this to me? I asked GM…and GM smiled and said do your meditation with love and devotion. Then he died and I went to another master…every master saying the same thing. I want a true answer from you as they evaded me! I don’t have the answer, I have to check with my own master GM…whatever he says I give it. I said it takes time…6 months to reach GM to get an answer. I said this is a serious question…even GM may take time to answer (I said because I was going back to the USA). I went back after 6 months to India and said I got your answer…its the same answer they gave you earlier…do your meditation with love and devotion. You have been doing meditation but not with love and devotion. Love and devotion is so essential. When you meditation don’t emphasize of repeating the words, posture you are sitting…they are the least important things but most important thing is done dhyaan/ contemplation face of master…express to him whatever is in your mind. Express love, complains, feelings to your master…he is your real. At the same time, because you have been doing simran keep on repeating. I am going back and I will come back again…next time I come and I will check to see…if it doesn’t work I will ask master again. I went back to him he made more progress in 6 months than he did in 40 years! Don’t treat meditation as mechanical exercise.

21min- If master is friend first…you share everything with your friend inside. We want to go beyond the mind…where the soul becomes one with the entire totality…go there with love and devotion. If this is so important, why should we not start from the beginning and being in touch with master inside. He is a friend! I had another friend, Dr Isher Singh. He was working in a palace in Beas India for a Maharaja..a small little kingdom (Kapurthala). This doctor was very keen to find spiritual truth. He had 3 neighbours who were disciples who were Muslims. They followed Islam, but also followed GM. These people are Muslims and I am Sikh, so their advice may not be compatible. But spirituality can be practised no matter what religion you are…it is even good for atheists. Don’t mix spiritual path with religion. Go and meet that man, Baba Sawan Singh. Beautiful (and goofy with Bibi Rukko) story of Isher Singh Ji seeking of Great Master Baba Sawan Singh Ji<3 Moreover, it includes how Isher Singh Ji got initiated…another goofy part of the story when Isher’s time is right to get initiation.

34min- Isher Ji couldn’t help loving the master…day and night he would say my only love is master. Best thing I can do is tell them…his father would not accept it. Another mind-blowing funny real story. He told master I want my father initiated…because of your devotion I will initiate your master…you bring him to me though. So he tried to pursue his father but he won’t budge. One day, GM was leaving the train station… Isher Ji knew about it…so he asked his father he has some work in station if he can come along. Father ji came along…father and son came on horses. GM was waiting on the platform… Isher ran to GM…I brought my bapu…they both ran…imagine a master running with a disciple…by the time they reached…dad had gone and left Isher’s horse. One day early morning when father was sleeping…on charpie…son what are you doing to me…I am taking you to my master…that is cruel! Bapu I am strong…he arranged a horse cart to come early morning…so man was crying loudly he lifted the bed and took him on horse cart. All neighbours came out…my father has gone crazy…neighbours said take him quickly…went to the dera…reached there…when reached GM was sitting outside 3-4 satsangi standing there…strange scene coming with horse cart man shouting… Isher Singh side of horse…are you mad to bring your dad like this? Dad said I am saying the same thing…then GM said take him off…take him inside and put some balm on his wounds. Isher think I don’t think my dad has a chance…GM comes out and says…now you go away and come after 3 days. After 3 days he did come on horse and saw GM sitting and father standing near him. Only thing morning, GM initiated me… Isher Ji was so amazed. I am only telling you this at time when this could be done…don’t try this now 🙂 He found a way to come to my house but my wife would get angry with him for chasing Ishwar Ji. Then he found out she likes pakoras…then he found a trick…he would go in advance and say Bibi pakoras…come in Doctor…they were having tea and pakora…man with so much affection. He is one who told me… Master is yaar (friend) first and master later. He has to be a friend of yours…therefore this whole path…is not based on mechanical things…its a path of love and devotion. Indian saint paltu said (translation)- except bhakti and pyaar nothing else will count.

45min- If you follow instruction like Heera Singh…you can all achieve just like he did in 6 months. spirituality is a scientific thing that our consciousness lies in us …its running all time from our true home…never interrupted. The inner sound coming as resonance from our own reality can be heard…discovering your true-self. All the scenes changes…levels of consciousness changes…SELF never changes. Fa-Hein had a dream he was a butterfly. He said this must be heaven but why am I a butterfly? When he woke up he doubted am I really the butterfly who is now dreaming I am Fa-Hein or vice-versa. He shared that with his friends..his goofy friends said you saw a butterfly. Fa-Hein said I never saw a butterfly! The form changes completely…the self remains unchanged. Best possible way to find our true-self that the power of sound to take us to the top…when you meditate the sound can pull you. Its to remember master all the time…master give you words to repeat…he empowers those words…as it happens…I follow tradition of GM..he emphasise meaning of the words inside not outside. When you repeat those words…no negative power can come near you. That is why its a power thing to have empowered words…when you repeat them negativity disappears, even negative people disappear. We will do little practise again today to get in touch with the sound current and how to meditate with love and devotion. Let’s meditate while we are healthy..maintain good health, do excercise. Do yoga for sake of excercise…meditate in good spirit…take advantage. In the afternoon we will have final session of meditation.

55min- Take little bit of parshaad make it last for a while. We used to give puffed rice…master told us mix with subtitute puffed rice to stretch the parshaad as everytime you take it…you will remember the master ❤ Parshaad means blessed by master…its another help in meditation. This is a life changing event…no matter what work you are doing. Every time you work, think of master you are working for him. Thank you very much for listneing to me. I will take a few questions now. There are 3 kinds of karma- prarabdha (destiny/ fate), kirayman (with our intension) and sinchit (reserve karma). Sankar is another side of the karma…we develop from previous life…its makes attitude of our life now from previous lives. When a PLM initiates us…we have to go through our prarabdha anyway (even masters)…sinchit karma is totally destroyed from previous lives. So next life karma comes from this life. Events dont change but our attitude change. More than us other people can tell us…sanskar of sinchit karma are destroyed but you dont feel change in prarabhda karma. Nobody after initiation ever comes after 4 times (including this one). I might tell you a little story of my father…who couldnt attend one of the discourse of GM. GM talked about not more than 4 lives return after initiation. He asked GM is it true that you once initiate you cannot come after 4 lives? GM said this is your last life…no can’t I come in 5th life…if you happen to come again? GM laughed…master comes with same master power at right time…they come according to the requirements of seekers at that time. Then he explained if you follow master’s instructions this is you last life. Condition of future lives will be better. Do your duty as best as you can…leave the rest to master and this will be your last life.

1hr4min- Question on usage of flouride. Emotions come from the 6 energy centre. Most important (sad, crying) is from the heart centre. Emotions don’ come from upper part which is ‘cool’. People who have been doing yoga of centers are very emotional. Emotion can come up…tears come in our eyes with think of Master…tears of joy…very different experience. I said I seem to meet too many cry-babies. Its an emotion arising of soul of something it met but its not the mind. We are used to putting our attention on heart centre as its an emotional chakra. Lineage is once master dies …little streams of master start coming up…master died..so many people come and claium we are the real one. A professor in University of California “Radha Swami Gaddhi” going from one master to another…starts from Swami Ji…at present there are more than 500 masters today! How do we know who is the PLM? I dont know Baba Jaimal Singh or Swami Ji…all I know is I met a man with white beard…and that man gave what he said he will give me something. From my experience I can say GM was a perfect living master. Therefore, this is a matter if you go into legalities you will never come to any conclusion. Master lives like ordinary person so how do we know he is a master? My recomendation any master you have experienced unconditional love that pulls you from your soul inside..follow him ❤ Masters are hiding in their bodies..bahurupia. As young boy (young Ishwar) I had to go through a redlight area to go to a Hakim. We were used to these bahurupia- disguised people. My father say lets go there…a woman in that redlight area caught my hand and said I am glad to see you again…I never seem…my dad said doesn’t matter…but dad I have never come here at all! No I met you yesterday…I was so ashamed…we just passed…came back..next day police officer came and said give me 50 rupees…so they say saints are bahuripyas. For those who are marked to be their disciples…those souls are touched…therefore defintiion of a PLM of any linegage is if he can pull you. Baba Ji then explained Anurag Sagar by Kabir.

1hr16min- To give talks and lectures anyone can do it. That is why that not a good test of a master but what happens and you feel inside. That is why these fake people are ther ebut some are genuine masters but have not reached the top. They genuinely believe what they reached is the top. But supposing a disciple want to go to the top..meet that master and get initiated…master will take him to point where he has reached. But the disciple will not feel satisified and I want more…there can be several masters in our life. One engineer Trilok Chand worked in Rangoon and was very keen to find a master…amazing story (and story within a story of King Janak and Ashtavakra) about him and a master in Madras and how he was able to find GM. No effort is ever wasted on the spiritual path…therefore never feel this is not the right master as every master and step you take is right direction as long as you have will for seeking!

1hr32min- I do interviews now and then I come back to you after lunch break and we have final session of meditation…with love and devotion. I can give you some astral gifts and astral not physical gifts. Welcome friends to this final session of this 2 day program…to trigger a new wave of meditation because many people get initiated but get low, get triggered and start all over again…these meetings work as trigger. In this you will really learn meditaiton is really done with love and devotion with master in front of you. Master will do meditation for you…he will do all for you…you can both hear the sound…you can do dhyaan along with your simran and listening to sound. Therefore, its a useful thing to practise with master inside. Suppose you want to see master but you cannot…still speak up…talk …master is hiding behind scene in front of you. If he answers…when doing simran…it is his answer. Therefore, take advantage you talking to master..ask him to remove the curtain and he sometime remove the curtain. Baba Ji quoted Kabir about meditation and how not to do simran. Biggest difficultly is meditaiton becomes dry and boring but if you do it like I explain to you…it does not get bored and is always entertaining with new experiences. Karma and Dhrama goes together…dhram is what your duty is in your karm. If we live our life and do as best as you can..you will never go wrong…you will see spirituality is outside and inside. Lord Krishna told Arjun yoga…is done with utmost skill…without aim for reward and not expecting reward you become a yogic…union with your highest/ truth. Duty done fully and when you do it…think you are doing it for your master but not to earn something. There was a grandson of master…Purushottam Singh we called him Shouti…he joined the army and posted somewhere away from home. He told GM I want to serve you by being near you….I think I will resign from army and sit near your feet. GM said go back to your duty…think you are doing it for me. When you are working there…it will be as good as meditaiton if you think you are doing it for me. Your mind should know you are doing it for master. This is very important we put master ahead all the time then meditaiton becomes successful.

1hr40min- Go back to 6th floor and sit in the centre, do simran…sound comes…drop simran listen to sound…sound is weak go back to simran…pick up sound its always superior to simran…when talking to master…have simran at same time…darshan..simran at same time…encouter with master at any time during meditation. Talk to master…if you want to cry…cry before master…share a joke with master…anything you can do…he is a friend of yours. Meditation becomes enjoyable its a good success. That is why putting the master with love and devotion won’t just be easy but enjoyable also. Take full advantage of this. Now I mentioned to you that very often I give astral gifts…those are gifts we…GM places some gifts on top of the roof of this building. You have to go up to get those…since t hey are imaginary gifts…you have to go with your imaginary/ astral body with your eyes closed you imagine you are somehow reaching the t op of the roof and see if there is a package waiting for you…take it…open it there or bring it down and open it here to see what it contains. Close your eyes…and go to the top of this building…you can fly, go from outside, by stairs…use any imagination you can to reach the top and then walk on top and see if there is a package for you. Take your time no hurry…any of you got any packages…very good. I am very happy that some of you got…wait for next time for better luck because these are found from state of meditation. More meditaiton you do more you are likely to get interesting packages. Meantime you couldnt find package I will give you package with blessings from GM in form of parshaad.
