Video Description: Welcome friends to this meeting…in South Barrington, IL. We will have it here every month in the future so we can renew our enthusiasm on this path every now and then. We stray from the track that its necessary to bring us back on track and these meetings serve that purpose. Spiritual path does not deal with what we are facing in this life but with our eternity. Our needs of this life are based on this body but the needs of our soul is not for this life only but stretch way beyond. Egyptians did a lot more for their afterlife than current. So this life after death which is eternal which we cannot see here. The power of consciousness, vital life-force as sometime as memory before we were born, flashes of things that will happen way after we die via meditational experiences and sometimes by strange experiences we discover that our soul is not bound as with terms this body is. Therefore, are we doing anything to prepare for life after we die? We do not have freewill except when we have human life. There are lifeforms that exist throughout this universe as huge number as 8.4million recorded human form more than half are in plant kingdom. A human being is special form of life out of so many life. The power of creating life…being alive is dependent on the same source… the power of consciousness which can have us the experience of conscious awareness and it exists in all living forms including trees…though its very diffused and subdued form. If you look at all life forms (plants and insects or mammals- birds) they do not have the power of freewill t discriminate between good and bad….only humans have a morale code planted into our consciousness…in part we call conscience…we have laid out a course for ourselves. No other species in this universe that is making this morale choices and we laid it out for ourselves. Bad things seem to be more pleasurable therefor this fight between good and bad goes on in our life creating intensions and actions…once we do that with freewill we set a pattern like it is a wave of good and bad and we create a storage of good and bad. We feel guilty for bad and happy for good…this whole notion of punishment and reward is arising from the experience of freewill. Indeed there will be no law of karma itself…they are creating not only good and bad karma but creating principle of karma. We are storing enough material (karma) and this goes on for not only the laws of the universe, moral law society sets up…we also carry it beyond our life thus laying the foundation of future lives thereby creating law of karma.

13min- Our mind is so active…its a wonderful computer. Its so fast…comes to move intentions and actions so fast…it has already accumulated so many intentions and each of them creates good or bad karma. Therefore, we accumulate so much of it that its impossible create any kind of life that will fulfill all this. We need millions of years to totally fulfill good and bad intentions in one lifetime. So we spend life in different forms (trees, plants, insects, animals and as mammals and as angels and higher-beings) in the list of 8.4 million species they have included disembodied spirits, angels in the astral planes. You can do very good deeds…think nothing bad you can be ruler of one of the heavens in the astral planes. Therefore, we roam around in whole cycle in several forms of life. Sanchit karma is reserved karma…we have so much of it if we do meditation and have a peep of our own reservoir we would be shocked…we created so much we could stay here forever. Very basis of life, any form of life, is some karma that comes and creates a life for us…that karma includes who were the people with whom we had karma in the past…they become our parents, siblings, and relatives…where we had most karma a becomes location of birth, travel and every place we move in the world. I am going to go with the flow…true way of not creating any karma…wherever y6ou are…drift along with circumstances…take your ques of actions of coincidences around you and do not allow mind to make choices…results in very strong will-power for not creating karma. The whole basis of our feeling of freewill is on forgetfulness. If we could remember past lives…things would be totally different than what they are today. Is it good or bad to remember past lives? Depending on how much we have trained our mind it can be good or bad. In our case, where we are all trapped, it is better not to know the past lives and nature itself provides a safeguard when we are born here we do not remember past lives. We remember lessons from our previous life. Master Ji gave some examples of this. This life is creating a lesson for us….a learning process we keep on learning we remember the lessons but no longer remember the events. Its a good combination to keep on advances and not going to reflexes of reaction so that’s why what has been set up by nature is quite perfect. If we have developed awareness to an extent we get to know our past lives gradually.

24min- If we have originated from the land of the creator…if those premises is true..soul is immortal and we really belong there then surely they can find a solution to finding our way back home. We can trace some elements that exist in us that are still connected to our true home. It is obvious if we have to discover about true self and not the body… the power of consciousness and not our sensory perception of this world and go beyond…beyond thoughts…then we must look for something that is our true self…that which is creating a life for us at all levels…it makes our mind think…what is the power that makes the mind think…these are fundamental questions…the answer can come if we start a pursuit of our true self. When we try to pursue this…obviously it is one that is empowering this body, perception, mind, and other things that are neither mental or body…such as the experience of love…its not mental. Thinking has never created love…the experience where you can forget yourself for a moment with attention to your beloved. We are constantly aware of I…I am doing this…the ego..which is the face of the thinking process. You cannot pursue without ‘I’ coming into it and that is always following the mind…then you are always caught up in the mind…the ego/ I separates from everybody. Love joins…love makes you forget the I even for a moment. The power of love is one that does not come from the mind it comes directly from our self our soul…one good indication. Intuition gives us awareness of no thought…it just comes so suddenly and does not follow law of time and space.

31min- We look out of a window… a beautiful day…where does that come from? There are certain functions in the physical body by all parts of consciousness including pure consciousness which is called the soul which empowers senses and the mind by splitting knowledge of things into seeing touching tasting it puts them into separation and put together for an experience. Scientists do believe the world is expanding…at the same rate we contract it…we go back to 14.3 billion years ago there was no world. It started from where it all started to expand…we can’t even fix that point even now. All points in this world are points of expansion. Is it quite possible this is not the way the world was created but we create the world…because we have eyes to see, ears to hear, skin to touch, and nose to smell…which are creating the world? This question is not new but asked for 1000s of years. Baba Ji talked about materialists and idealists. Baba ji provided an elaborated example of using a tree being visible outside is a projection from the inside using cause and effect analogy.

42min- We have been debating is there any definite way to find an answer to this question…we won’t know which one has come first but there is a way. Why don’t you go into consciousness itself…instead of looking at the external why don’t you study consciousness itself…by this way you will be able to study yourself. Therefore, who am I really? What is myself? Where is myself? You can pursue this question and find you cannot find an answer outside it has to be within this body…and all these experiences are all happening inside the body not outside. The only place you can study yourself is within yourself. If you want to find where within yourself…it doesn’t take long to work out…behind the eyes in the centre of your head. When you are awake close your eyes…to determine where are you..find where you are…see what is stopping you from being there…see what kind of thoughts come and drag you out…these are all attachments you have created to people and things. Outside which by all means is going to be temporary…this physical body will inevitably die…it must die…so experience outside are temporary in every case. We have too many attachments and desires so what can hold you inside? If you can find true love inside behind the eyes it will quickly make you forget all the outside attachments. Where can you find this kind of true love? It’s only a human being who’s love is so pure…so unconditional…overpowering if his image is there…we will forget things outside…we call such a human being as a perfect living master. He doesn’t live in attachments here but in pure love of consciousness. When we are able to establish that person’s image in our head…it makes us forget attachments outside.

54min- What is the role of a PLM? PLM to pull out the soul which is not the mind, or body with the power of unconditional love of soul. It’s a relationship between a soul and a soul. Therefore, when we experience of unconditional love inside it overcomes the distraction of the mind. PLM is also one that operates from all levels of consciousness at all times. He is continuously aware and operating from all levels at all times. He is a guide who knows the whole route while he is here. He is the map. Therefore, do not underestimate a PLM…in fact he is not a teacher. He has not come to teach meditation but to pull us via the power of love and he brings us backstage by stage never leaving us. He is not a teacher he is a friend. Only one consciousness is the reality including experience of the so many…and this one consciousness is that individual PLM who is like us, constantly aware of that oneness…living in that oneness and having different experiences in that oneness…therefore its the most wonderful journey to true home in the company of know whos. In end, we realize its no journey but just awakening…wow what kind of dream within a dream within dream we had. We have created an experience of reality by creating dreams. We don’t think a dream is a dream till we wake up till then its real.

1hr1min- Ultimate totality of our real self is the only reality. Everything is created around that SELF. Our reality is the experience of our true-self. Where does it come from why we want to pursue this? If you feel you had enough and want no more and want to go to a true home then I can tell you where to go…go within yourself. Where will you find a PLM, you can’t find one. Once every time there is PLM in this body…at least 11-12 fake masters who are more impressive than real ones. There was an interesting yogi in India he said when masters tell you something they don’t say lose your common sense when dealing with masters. Funny joke…so don’t lose your common sense when you are evaluating where you are…its after all a path of the spirit and not something you can judge from the outside. On the journey, you are other to explore your soul. You cannot find a PLM but you can be found by a PLM…seek inside your heart…if you are a seeker a PLM will come into your life by some means and gradually you will discover that he is not an ordinary person you think and that he is pulling you not with his teachings but with his love. Dates have been set in 2015 in advance. ISHA who organizes these events is a non-profit organization. Finally, people have been asking me you have to be on a vegetarian diet what has that got to do with spirituality. Actually nothing…diet is for the body…physical nutrition how can we connect soul with the diet. A Zen group in Japan emphasizes on eating a certain type of rice. But why am I saying a vegetarian diet…I am saying this in order to meditate and put attention behind the eyes…diet is a factor because what we need is not only the fixing of attention but CONCENTRATION of attention in order to bring distraction part to there…because our diet is based on extinguishing of life. We eat living things even vegetable is a living things. All living species are doing it. So we are all extinguishing life to survive therefore to do so is natural for us…but when we extinguish the life of degree of consciousness…it has a different impact on the power of concentration. It is means to improve the chances of meditation that’s why I recommend following a vegetarian diet. There are many meat substitutes for protein and have less toxins that meat contains.
