Video Description: Welcome friends to this 3-day program…I am very happy to be back here again and to meet so many friends and make new friends also. We have all headed for the same destination…different routes but the destination remains same of our true home. This world we are living is not our true home…a world of duality…pain and pleasure..and we don’t belong to this. We are steady soul…soul full of love and made up of love…but when we come to mental attachments…we discover this world is a pair of opposites and could not be our home. Its a journey we are all taking together. Our true home is also known as Sachkhand where we came and have a connection. Although we are visiting here we have not forgotten our true home. Sense perceptions we are using while we are in the physical body..we have human mind which makes thinks, raitionalises, usese logic and gives us advise and carries out our instructions although most of the time it gives us instructions. We got these instruments of experience to have a good time and see a different time of experience than our true home and then go back home. But somehow we got caught up and started to believe experiences as reality. We take this as only reality…we shut ourselves from our true home. How do we know that we forgot our true home although we made some arrangement before we left our true home…we should have some key to open the door and go back. We were more intelligent than we think we are…that key we had that during the experience we should be able to run up on some experience that will open the key and remind us of our true home and take us back…that key is called a perfect living master…a human being like ourself who appears in this world and becomes an experience of ours and tells us this…a PLM as part of this experience is also an illusion than anything else. But its an arrangement we made that one part of illusion should awaken us to our true home. PLM comes into our life he reminds us of what hwe have arranged an easy way to go back home. True home is within yourself and such a person comes here not to teach us because we have arranged many teachers for us…he comes to be a partner and take us back together…he becomes a co-travellers of ours including our journey back to our true home. He imitates a teacher as mind likes to be taught…we think without learning nothing can be done. There are people who want to learn so much but make no spiritual progress but attend satsangs and read book and write books and very occupied into their intellectual persuits but make no spiritual progress. A PLM learning session is short and experiential method starts. Meditate and have inner experience in which you can visually see things outside, which show other world existing. It finds our body is a cover of our inner body which carries a perception of different senses. therefore we have having sense perception of the inner body in this physical body. When you die…the inner body continues to operate but that person cannot come back and tell us as he has lost his physical body but we can have that experience ourself of seeing our own inner body speerate from this inner body the method is to use a practise being unaware of this body. To do that follow a simple method- going within to your ownself. SELF is what you feel and experience in the wakeful state that there is something inside you from which you use this physical body and that you can find out that physical body contains that self somewhere in the head. In meditation by withdrawing our attention deliberately in the head…if you close your eyes and figure our what’s inside your head….usually we focus attention on the outside and around you. When we close our eyes it is dark it is darkness we see because we are constantly looking outside and when we put obstacles naturally it becomes dark….as we are still trying to look outside…we cannot see inside with these physical eyes as they are made to look outside! Therefore, what can look inside? If we close our eyes and imagine we can see it! These eyes are not seeing that.
15min- Which eyes are seeing that? Eyes are closed in sleep and we dream what eyes are seeing inside? The tendency to see with these eyes is so strong we cannot meditate with them. There is no sense in trying to feel these eyes have nothing to do with internal experience but we have a good clue via power of imagination. Imagination can see things which we cannot see with these eyes and therefore why not use that power of imagination. Inside is not dark empty space but via imagination, we can see all that. What are we talking about imaginary stuff? How to find reality via imagination no…its a method to experience reality and using imagination to transfer our attention from outside to inside our head. Using imagination to transfer our attention inside. Other experiences will become via imagination. The whole object of meditation is get to know what is inside us so when we use imagination we can put attention outside to inside. It is not good enough as we are using space between self and what we are seeing. The next step is to shift your attention seeing with imagination to WHO is seeing that imagination! That is The SELF!. Not easy…but you can and you suddenly find you are always behind what you are looking at. There is a simpler way..forget what’s in front of but think this body is a house we are living in and there are many floors and we are on the 6th floor behind the eyes. You imagine yourself being in that floor…this physical body is being run via several energy centres located in this body. Tehre are many centres of energy behind and above the eyes…12 centres of different types of awareness but the eyes are the one where it starts you will notice all meditation starts from wakeful state but via yogic practises we lower ourselves from the eye centre. They refer to this as two petal lotus and other four, six and eight etc lotuses corresponding to different organs. We start from 2 petal and end at 2 petal. Similarly, the centres of meditation of awareness start from the eyes and go to top of the 18th centre. Our true home lies in the 18th centre. So when we figure out being behind the eyes, we start new journey of awareness.
. The power to use our attention where we like…and the power to concentrate it where we like are the keys to discovering everything including our true home.

25min- You don’t need glasses…even blind people have 20-20 vision at their astral self. The very first experience of sensory body to experience new world…from which this world looks like a reflection…and when you move about there you find that our own life there is very different. We find life is much longer, we are able to locate our own homes there, doing research on things, master different sciences, everything we do here we have been doing there too and excelled in so many things there. Its a great experience. If you get nothing else I think its a great step forward to know you are not the physical body but more than that. And yet this is the first step of realisation of our true-self. We have made great progress in discovering new experiences that this is not our true home…its like a image of the true world and we find true world we find such beautiful things like heaven…the Gods we have been worshipping are sitting on their throne…its not a small thing. Yet space and time are same as this one…its little different where we can slow down our experience on astral plane where we can STOP time which we cannot do here. We have some beautiful moments in life here but they just past but at least there where we enjoy a moment we can freeze it as long as we like. Similarly, the fact that body are atheral have capacity of see etc gives a very different experience… that body can fly there is no gravity in astral plane. It really feels like heaven is there but btw hell is there. The astral plane is very vast…and there are areas which are divided into sub-astral and higher-astral and other astral areas overlapping the physical world. When we go into first time overlap world…that is where most of us go when we die…that is why when we die astral body stays in overlpa and we see still seep people here but are invisible to people here. So you can see people crying for you…you tap them they say ghost haunting us…same people we love so much become ghost…but its jus astral form…they have shed their bodies and now in their inner form. So long as they are in overlap section they can move around here…do things in their own plane but do not interact same way as physical plane here. Law of physical nature there are different from here. They can see us but we are afraid of them. 2 types of spirits- roam around to search for something or looking for something they were still roaming around in the overlap section (Bhoot) and others are stuck at one place and not leave that place (pret). When someone dies in unnatural plance they become pret but those who are dying in search of something become a moving ghost but they are spirits like us but their life is much longer. During this period we have worn many bodies therefore it looks very strange we can recall our experience of past lives. Its such an interesting thing how we can take certain costume and experience different worlds.
36min- PLMs who are connected with the home while we are here they do not leave us…in atral plane they are with us all the time. They are our guides, beloved up to our true home. They tell us, teach us, guide us how to put our attention behind the eyes of the astral self. And you open up and find you have another form of yourself…the form without sense perception…the power to know things at once…that power exist in casual plane. What is the function of that body? To think! It is the same thing as the mind…the mind in our physical body is the causal body. Everything we have seen what we called thoughts, intensions was all created there. It creates cause and effect and all sections of the astral plane and great place the cause of all things and there we discover what we thought was individual mind in the astral and physical body…these were just reflection of the single mind! PLM says mind is also a cover! It happens to be very powerful…source of space and time but it is not yourself and you are still not in your true home. Then they tell us within the mind lies the spirit…what else is ourself? There we discover we are the consciousness, life-force that empowers the mind to operate and make this body alive. Only a PLM can take us beyond the casual plane i.e. beyond the mind. PLM is a friend forever…at that stage he takes you beyond and show you you are beyond all these things…you are unit of conciounsesss…which has created experiences around us. These costumes around us and I have for first time seen as naked soul…I was the unit of consciousness…
If we can call Totality of Conciouness as God…you discover you are a part of that God.

45min- Baba Ji talked about Sadhguru to Sathguru. The ultimate PLM takes you beyond unit of soul show you that you are always part of God and whole show took place right there. The connection of the soul with our ultimate creator has never been broken even when we are here. Evidence is whenwe are feeling we are SELF no matter in what form…it never changes…you are looking at this world it can change but one looking at the world can never change. In dream you never see yourself but same self in the higher state …the self never changes. It is not only self is continuously connected but other evidence that is something emanating from this self…main subject of my talk today. That we have no words to describe my lecture ends…because we have no word to describe it …we call it the world/ shabd/ naard. In the beginning was the word…in the bible and same in Bhaghavad Gita. The power of consciousness that never leaves us…we can experience it after all we are experiencer…it appears in the different form right here in the physical plane it appears when we pull our attention inside…its generating in form of a sound…which we can heard..its audible…if SELF can be heard what else do you want! This audible sound that you can hear is coming from the self so a good way for meditation is to listen to the sound…sound of the self with concentration and opens up all these experiences I have been talking about it. If you stay with that sound…it will take you all the way to your true home as its connection with the Totality at all times. If we can hear the sound…when can be hear it by imagination and concentration behind the eyes and becoming unaware of this body…sound can be heard. Ultimately the sound with pull comes resemblance to sound outside. Its a very melodious sound….it comes with bell ringing at a distance without sharpness…its got a rhythm to it. It is very subtle …that sound has a pull in it. You don’t have to put effort into it…that is why this particular kind of yoga…surat shabd yoga. Putting attention on sound is best thing I have discovered. It is very simple not easy..simple but difficult…we make it difficult…we use our mind to make it difficult…silly to say that…in life not just spirituality because we think too much. Intuition is the knowledge that jumps at us with no thoughts or words…suddenly you feel..we reject that because we think so hard…if we are to use intuitive knowledge our life will be much simpler.
Make your decision with your gut feeling and think how to implement it! Mind makes a decision based on data available in front of it. Intuition is based upon accumulated memories of several lifetimes.Use the power of directing your mind of what to think.
Ishwar Puri Ji
57min- Start using soul’s intuitive knowledge. Mind makes a decision based on data available in front of it. That is why it is a limited decision which can be right or wrong all the time. I am not saying to stop thinking but use thinking the right way. Therefore, in order to direct the mind to think on lines of what we want to do…we practise meditation. Conquering the mind is the most difficult thing. We identify ourself completely with the mind. We have never thought I am using the mind to think that. There is a willpower required- two kinds mental will and spiritual’s will. We use the same language of the mind to deny the mind what it wants. In our daily life, mind is tempted to do many things. Mind says I want to do this…no….if you start denying the mind some of these things in a few months you will have control over the mind. You will find its much easier to meditate as mind carries you away from meditation. Mind is in control of meditation. Repeat certain words/ mantra…so that the mind can’t think of anything else and hold it down to these words but mind runs away. But if you practise mind with spiritual will you will find its easier to hold mind to repeat simran. Whole life should be designed to help in meditation. There are many obstacles that are real (sickness, karma, people taunt you). There is a girl in India very hard to meet me in Delhi…her desire is to seek spirituality but lets not add more obstacles by adding mind as more obstacles lets control what we can. This life is based upon our own actions in the past lives and we have done good and bad things and these are determined by us. Life we having here is based on karma. There was a American friend of mine Julian Johnson he discovered after few years that karma is a great gift! Then he said its a platform given to us to go home. We should never say good or bad karma…if its too painful…its alright to pray for help. The whole thing in life is based on karma. But there are somethings we can control. Spiritual journey is based on what you can control. So tell mind I am the boss not you. And mind is quite flexible that way! Use your superwill deny it what it wants and second is give is extraordinary taste…mind loves pleasure and taste. Give it some pleasure inside…throw them to the mind and mind will be your friend.
1hr9min- Thank you very much for patiently listening to me. Tips are from my personal experience. Now if you have some questions I will be happy to answer it. Mind is merely an instrument given to us to think…therefore once we pull the power from the mind its just a slave of ours…instrument/ computer of ours…mind knows nothing beyond what we know. Mind pretends to know everything because we have empowered it. I am not Jesus and I can’t compare with his experiences at all but as a disciple of GM and he kept devil away and he made sure he couldn’t harm me. Devil can do no harm but can appear but can do no harm that’s a guartenee being initiated by a PLM. Creativity as we know it here is of the mind…uses it to create new patterns..it uses the power of the soul to do these things. Spirituality is to transcend the mind to find the source of it. Dying while living refers to your capacity to withdraw your attention to open your inner body. You have experience of death while you are living by pulling your attention up…nothing to do with flash before you to create next life. Those flashes at time of death is basis of the next life. Last moments of physical life is important for creating the next life and that does not happen in dying while living.
