Seek Within Yourself And You Will Find | Ishwar Puri (Part 1 of 2)

Video Description: Welcome friends to this holiday party…I wish you all very happy holidays and I hope you enjoyed them both inside and outside. We light up candles little realising there is far more light in our own self and we can celebrate any holiday daily in ourself as true home is within us. We didn’t come to this world her to suffer but to enjoy an adventure a holiday. We never came here to get caught up in the attractions of this world and try to make them as our own including people. When we don’t know what the truth is we go about making characters in the play our own friends. There was only one who could come here and that one became many for the sake of this play. The play was created we came here and we created all characters to have great experiences of pain and pleasure, highs and lows. We did a lot of adventures but then we are supposed to go back home. But we get attached to things on the stage just for sake of the play. Nobody has ever carried anything that belongs to the physical world…and we all die no exceptions and then we try to make people our own as if they will go with us. These relationships are created only to make characters play a prewritten script and played out by the actors. But we forget we are actors. We cannot blame ourself as we don’t know our true home and which direction to go and step off the stage. Because to make the play as real, we hide ourselves in one of the characters and began to live a life of that character. We forgot we are hiding somewhere. But we did one good thing before we came here, we made a small arrangement…if we forgot our true home and came here only for play then there should be some kind of reminder to pull back into the memory of where we belong. That arrangement we made is working very well. There should be one character coming to us as another character…that character should speak to us and should say play should end and we should go back home. Such a character is we called a perfect living master. When you remember your true home belongs to you and you are the one and many. The function of love…you created many to experience love not as a concept. And then lowered that many down to many levels of experiences so that you could come up to this physical experience and play our role here and experience love…that belongs to your true home. What is a soul? Soul is consciousness, per say. When a creative power creates something, the spirit of the soul plays out we have great experiences…we should have all these great experiences and listen to arrangements we made to go back home. When our seeking is real…a character we have already prenamed appears in our physical life. PLM has a different role than all other characters. PLM always comes to us when we seek within ourselves.

10min- Only place where we can find ultimate creative power is within ourselves. You hide not only your soul but the essence of that soul, God himself…into a hiding place and that’s a wonderful hiding place. If you try to go into that hiding place you will find all the truth of the statements I am making and all founders of all religions for the entire humanity. If you want a real holiday…go to the hiding place…lot of lights there…lot of candy, good company there, love there…and much more than you can see outside. We should change this gift concept in holidays and the best way to enjoy is to go within yourself. Any holiday you have, I congratulate you that you have an opportunity not to celebrate a holiday within yourself but find way back to true home which is within the body not outside but behind the eyes. The problem is when we close our eyes we see nothing but darkness, there is that light we speak of? What is missing? Our attention is not there..our attention is constantly outside even when we close our eyes. We are still outside when we are inside therefore this great gift given to us…the power of using our attention to wherever we like…that power can be used to put attention inside. If we WITHDRAW our attention inside we will celebrate our holiday and find the gateway to our true home. Some people have asked me I should always say a few words in the local language I grew up…I will say a few sentences in Hindi and Punjabi. My master, GM he said the axis of spirituality will shift from east to west and I came running here to the ringside seat…I am trying to convey to people the same thing and he said all that is required is put it into Western language. Learning western languages…but at the same time I would say greetings to people who have not spoken this language but speak their own language. I was born in Punjab and I will say a few words in Punjabi if you don’t mind. Baba ji spoke in both Punjabi and Urdu. He shared a Farsi quote.

21min- We use techniques available to anybody irrespective of one’s religion, gender etc its the same easy method of putting attention inside. The thoughts ar taking us out so we replace the thoughts with chosen words by PLM who can guide us…if he chooses words don’t have relevance to outside we are blocking words of thoughts by artificial words we are pumping in. When you try to put your attention inside you hear sound from inside…firstly from your own body, then your own consciousness itself has a resonance which you can hear by putting attention inside. It should be kept right in the centre..we will find we can open the 10th door where all the light we are talking about it. Purely from point of anatomy where the pituitary body and pineal gland is, if you can place attention that you can open the 10th door. To remove the thoughts only one method…when you have done sufficient concentration inside you will hear sounds from within…the more you listen to them the closer you get to your own true-self. The 3rd method is fall in love…your attention automatically goes there. Fall in love with someone inside…have a chat inside…the more you have love talk inside you are putting your attention there. They are not exclusive of each other and PLM who comes into our life teaches these methods so its easy and practise them. Ultimately we reach top we realize we are all one but took different forms in order to experience this love and unique feature which has no equal…love is different from attachments. We use the word love for attachments. In attachment, you are conscious of yourself and that to which you are attached. In love you forget yourself…you identify with the beloved…your thinking space is filled with the beloved so no time and space for ego. Love is a great way on the spiritual path…its the only way…it happens through these practises of listening to sound and repeating words of mental efforts…when you want to go beyond mind none of these things like repetition can take you beyond mind. In fact all effort we make is with mind. So at certain point effort must stop. So when we do our meditation with mind we can go no more where mind can go. Mind cannot function beyond time and space. If we want to go to our true spiritual home…where soul and total soul how do we perceive beyond the mind…beloved pulls us with unconditional love. Where do you find this beloved? If we practise the mental path first guided by PLM, we go within and see the person is with us within…including our mental level we become friend of that person and find we are still getting call from the same person from beyond the mind and we follow that ‘god’ with unconditional love…we can cross the mind and go to our true home.

31min- When we want to go beyond the mind, the love must come from someone beyond that. And we will then respond to it via devotion…that’s why we use two terms love and devotion. Beloved comes first…Love is first born in the heart of the beloved. That pull of unconditional love is the secret of the path. That love must pull you from here too. If starts from where we are sitting now…what pulls us to PLM? Teachings, words, lectures? Certainly not…they are in the books…it is the unconditional love of the PLM will be recognised by us. It pulls our soul…somewhere mind questions why are you being pulled. Pull of a soul to a soul. Therefore, right from now…these PLM come when we are ready. I must distinguish between mind speaking or something else speaking in us. Mind speaks through thoughts. Mind conflicts and confuses us. There is something else..the intuitive power (6th sense)..its different from reason and thinking of the mind as it does not depend on thought but comes from soul at all times. It can tell us things that the mind may reject. We try to put a lid on intuition as relied so much on the mind. We should look at our gut feeling than think as if we are thinking too much. The mind is a great gift to us to think…put sense into sense perception but we don’t use the mind we use it as a consultant…we are not supposed to be guided by the mind but tell it what it should do based on our intuitive knowledge. Mental knowledge is confined to the logical operation of reason and does not go beyond. Most of the time we are sorry we did that as it’s based on data presented to it…because the mind cannot see anything beyond. The conscious mind is such a small frame and goes on logic of the data…two kinds of logic. Deductive and inductive logic. Mind is going into the area of uncertainty. You can test it out very purpose of using the mind is to come to conclusion about what is in front of us…we should make our minds think of what our institution tells us! We should instruct the mind on how to do it… a correct way of using the mind. Our advisor is our own self. Intuition depends upon all accumulative data from time of creation. Dont make the mind your advisor as it blocks you from going beyond the mind. The lifeforce is our soul that make things alive.

42min- Mind is alive because o the soul…we should be going back to our intuitive self and if we can do that…your whole live will change from tomorrow. Intuition does not work in time and space when it comes…it comes suddenly. If we can rely on our true-self…intuitive knowledge of our soul…and supposing we look for that…we don’t create it…look at the right place as close possible as where we are as soul…intuition is ALWAYS telling you what to do…24/7. The only thing is practice going to the centre of your head. Its not a spiritual but mental practice. If we knew this was all pre-programmed play…life will change from one day. Don’t make it another exercise like religious dogma…if you forget all that…I want to discover who am I…why am I there…and put this question as where you are as consciousness behind the eyes…you will get all the answers inside. Simple methods you should follow…use any mantra which does not mean anything outside but inside. Preferably obtained from who is already inside us like a PLM. He will give it at the time of initiation- an initiation the character who come into our life and establishes his friendship forever in order to be a co-traveler to our true home at all stages. And when we put our attention in the 3rd eye center…he is standing waiting for us there. That’s initiation…its establishment of that kind of a friendship. He has already achieved what we want to achieve.

50min- Unconditional love pulls us beyond our own doubt. Of course if you are to ask can we find such a person…my answer would be no as how do we know an ordinary human being like us…happen to be a man…Sh Sh Sh like us. He is so ordinary how are we going to find such a person. We cannot find one but we can be found if we are ready…my advice is just seek within yourself not outside…wait for him…he will appear by coincidence outside. And in spite of all the difficulties accepting somebody…mind has many good questions…PLM is not an agent…he is a co-traveler with us…because he has traveled before he is a good guide. We are not connected to God via an agent but via our individuated consciousness. Its within the Totality of Consciousness whole show is taking place. PLM is not an agent but someone who can guide us. PLM becomes a part of yourself within. Seek within yourself and PLM will find you. PLM has come to our doorstep via coincidence and is always able to help us via his unconditional love. Did you know even meditation is not a requirement of the soul..its a requirement of the mind…mind is trained you cannot get anything without a struggle. PLM say work hard…mind loves it now we are going to get something…we have to satisfy mind to move forward…but one good part of the spiritual path is when you reach the 3rd eye center it becomes so beautiful that the attraction itself makes you leave and get detached from outside. If its in the company of beloved…there is nothing like that. You are in Hawaii…sitting all alone…then you have a friend …sunset looks different…whole experience becomes different. He is a companion a friend forever makes the whole journey so different. I wish you all great holiday.

58min- A pleasant surprise for me…I thought I already passed my birthday and looking forward to my 89th birthday.
