Video Description: Welcome friends to this monthly meeting we are having now on the path of the masters to go back to our true home. A friend of mine raised some important issues about blind faith. Is an expectation involved in faith? What is faith? Baba Ji provided an explanation on faith. When we talk of faith we are talking about expectations and secondly, we are hanging our faith on the fulfillment of the expectations. These are mental states nothing spiritual…faith is not a spiritual thing but to convince our mind of our expectations. Therefore, faith by itself is limited to the functioning of the mind. The spiritual path starts above the mind. We need faith only when we need to overcome doubt. What is blind faith and living faith? Faith varies depending on the experiences we get from faith. Blind faith does not vary at all with no change. Most religions give statements that are the same throughout life and therefore we call them blind faith but if we can change faith based on experience then it’s a growing faith i.e. living faith. When we see do not have blind faith it has no growth in it and accept it as the truth and we have no movement forward. So we distinguish between living and blind faith.

11min- Expectations only arise in the mind therefore faith is a mental process to convince the mind to take a leap forward. The mind creates obstacles and it’s a wonderful machine why should it become an obstacle? Because our desires and attachments are for external things related to the mind. We say the spiritual goal is beyond the mind and does not have faith at all…the power of love and devotion but not faith. When PLM come here they take care of our journey from here. The effort is merely to create love and devotion on the path. We can see our thoughts, our bodies, and everything outside but we cant see the love that is growing inside. Do you know love comes from Sachkhand our true home all the time and continues to grow within us? Therefore, the path actually is a path of love and devotion. When we have expectations, which we call faith these are merely built to have experiences from the body, and thoughts and then move on beyond where we leave all these behind and ride on the wave of love. That is why we do not follow blind faith but living faith that ascends along with our experiences. Now comes our question- he had no inner experience…what is that part? It is actually love growing inside and therefore gaining its love, superseding expectations of any kind of experience. How important are these inner experiences? Its a big question…GM said very little ❤ Because he has seen people have the most amazing experiences inside and some bad incident threw away all that faith and they lost that faith. Whereas someone has never seen inside and yet love keeps growing…I feel so much love and I can’t live without this love…he crosses all these stages beyond the mind in meditation. What is important is not necessarily one or the other but make progress both ways. Meditation experiences are a good way to make progress but there are experiences that are non-meditational…but with your eyes open we call them miracles and coincidences. As these increase our faith and love for our master increases…are they not experiences? The fact is entire outside experiences is created from the inside. Therefore, do not think there is an independent life going on outside…what is inside is being projected outside to create a material experience.

22min- Master talked about the radiant form of the master inside. Outer experiences which are equally miraculous to inside both are equally important. We like it with faith as we have to crossthe mind. Soul needs no faith only love but the mind needs faith. To turn the mind around we use faith and living faith which grows with experience. The mind itself is a unit of negative power just like soul is the unit of totality of consciousness. A friend of mine once asked me these three regions are all negative? Then why are we in meditation using a simran which repeats the three words of these three worlds? Why should we not repeat two worlds? That man asks me I said I will revert to my master…GM…he smiled and said if I place the ladder against this wall to claim the ladder you climb from the bottom same as these three phases. These are devices to be used here…these words have limited use and no use beyond the mind in order to make progress. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what experiences you have so long as the experiences are in these three worlds…only building faith n the mind to take you beyond the mind. These are startling truths. Love and devotion are only that takes us beyond the mind..it is our real essence.

When they say God is Love, I would say literally true as Love is the essence that connects us with our true home.

32min- Its not difficult to find soul creates the body. Where are concepts and thoughts arising from…you create the thoughts and senses and body. We are going outward to have experience but go inward you reverse engineer yourself and find you are the soul that created cover upon itself. You find real self is same self in the true home and never changes. We never left our true home and the whole show is taking place there. We like calling is the spiritual awakening to bring closer to our true self and realize its the totality of consciousness that creates it all. The self and love go continuously and never breaks but experiences break. The self, the experience is always the same and never changes and everything else changes. Therefore, on the spiritual path we are dealing with different parts of it. All these experiences takes place to awaken and ultimately it leads to the complete discovery of whole show. The whole show is designed to be irreversible, why? The reason was we wanted to experience reality…we were real…and have real experience but the experience can never be real. And we succeeded very well as the experiences look more real than us. We created a time frame of past and future so vast universe looks more permanent and when we die rest of the world will go on. Therefore, we did not go out to have an adventure but a real adventure…we created of levels of experiences and one of the main feature was we shut our true-self.

41min- When you go to that stage you have been creating so many realities and step from one to the other…its an unending process as there is no time there. I wanted to write about what is consciousness 65 years ago…I wrote title anatomy of consciousness…I couldn’t think of what to write…20 years later I was still stuck with that one line I wrote…as there is no we…no one more than one…there can’t be one if there are not many. I said the guy is there he is invisible because there is no space to be visible in. Therefore, if we can create space…he has space here to there..suddenly discovering here to there means time. He had a hard time creating time but he managed to create time and then they were all himself and make them into puppets with a string behind them. I couldn’t complete the story till today. My wife took up that line and said you are talking a lot but can’t write a single line. We have gone up to nanoparticles and all kinds of analysis if this is not real what can be real. Once GM gave me a beautiful assignment- he says I will give you one glimpse into this creation…I say I can include a lot of things with so much suffering. When I had a glimpse how they were placed against each other…I was both tongue and pen tied. When I saw only a little part I found imperfections…when you see the whole thing it is a perfect creation. Freewill looks so real…people tell me how come I am discussing with you. The best gift we could ever get is gift of human life. A freewill makes us choose between options and search for something inside its our choice. In response to my friend who wrote to me about faith I would like to have as a few questions. If you want results then review if you did your homework…did you try again if you didn’t do it properly. Secondly, the main purpose of meditation is to withdraw attention from here to there. If you can evaluate yourself what you were you doing when you were expecting results…how much time was spent searching inside and outside..just evaluate yourself. We have scattered our attention. Don’t lose hope as outside and inside are the same. Did you outside put attention on the master? We were initiated for many years but didn’t see anything inside…of course if you only stick to one thing with no expectation and progress for your mind…then its blind faith but if you have living faith on that you will make progress. I am happy to share this information today and we will have a break…I suppose there are some snacks 🙂
