Video Description: Welcome friends to this 3-day event in London. I am very happy to be back here in London again. We are all co-travelers in spiritual advancement to our own true homes. Our true home is where we came from, where we belong. When we look around in this world, it doesn’t look like we belong here because don’t fit in. We are positive people and we are told to practice something positive. In each one of us, while we have a human body we have negative (mind) and positive entities (soul). The mind is merely a machine given to us and is not a reality that we are. We are conscious beings and immortal but the mind has limited life and therefore w are living in a state we are using a machine to identify ourselves..that’s the tragedy. What is real and what is an illusion? In Indian scripture they call it maya… in fact, this is our only reality. This is our only reality and we live where we have nothing to compare it with. We have dreams at night and we think they are real but when we wake up we come back to the same reality. We can explore these things, question whether we really have a mind, live in the real world…examine from different perspectives by introspective by going within ourselves. Master talked about materialists and idealists. So materialism, material reality has gripped us…but then there are idealists that believe the world is only created by our own sense perception, not anything else that exists which is very difficult for us to accept. The pain and suffering which we experience here make this world look real. Idealists have a hard time explaining pain and suffering. Therefore, the pain and suffering of this world is making us feel this world alone is real. If you can withdraw attention to see how the mind works and sense perception works and who possibly are you….you may find a better answer than intellectually discussing what is right and wrong. Scientifically speaking if you look at the senses we have…we can easily see that they do not answer what we see is real and inside we experience is real…we can look a sense of seeing (vision) …we see with our eyes if we close our eyes we don’t see we associate all seeing to exist because of our eyes. But then we say that we forget when we imagine things we also see! When we dream we also see! What eyes exist which can use imagination to see…certainly its not these eyes at all. We think actually seeing is with these eyes.

12min- Is it possible consciousness itself has the capacity to create images what we see outside. This issue if it is creating things and we are seeing things outside…flow of the image is coming from inside outwards…the answer given by most scientists is it is a question of cause and effect. Therefore, if we have something in front of us and then we see obviously thing in front of us is real. Going within…means withdrawing your attention inside your ownself…self that is ultimately seeing things. It is not difficult to locate where am I if I am au unit of consciousness..it comes up its behind the eyes…if we could withdraw our attention to the notional point behind the eyes…we should find some answers. We are not used to doing this i.e. pulling our attention inside but focusing our attention outside. Withdraw of attention is something nobody told us because our use of attention on things is all outside. We close our eyes and think we are meditating. If you close your eyes you see darkness…no matter what you do you are moving away from yourself. Self is that is imaging..it is trying to focus. Closing eyes is not meditating…it means putting attention on something…all meditation we do is merely think about something that is not us. I am the thinker. This whole idea of discovering who we are is faulty by just closing eyes. That is why people have tried for so long…for centuries…its so easy to focus attention on the heart, energy centres below the eyes…its very difficult to withdraw attention to yourself. Meditation should be done by pulling attention back to where we are…the discovery of who we are…if we find that out problem is solved. Therefore, its a big thing to withdraw attention as its way to discover our own self. All ritual are external because it does not need one who perform the ritual and we make no progress. I come here to highlight this fact as we are trying to find the self and yet self is evading us! So how do we withdraw attention to ourself. There is a possibility which has been given to us by those who have experienced it. People who have been able to remove themselves frrom these covers and have experience where they lose experience of these covers and thinking mind…have been able to find the ultimate experiencer by removing the awareness of these covers. The covers are our physical body…we call it ourselves…we are given name.

25min- It is most difficult to remove this cover…when we die physical body is dies..we don’t know what happens to us after that. We die…people die…they are gone..we speculate they have become ghost or gone to heaven..these are all speculations! It’s just a belief system and we can make any kind of belief and make religion out of it. It is possible while we are still in this body we can die and still be alive…can we die while living. If we have experience of death…while we are still alive and share that experience that will be authentic conveying of an experience that yes…when you will die this will happen. People usually die step by step but some die suddenly. Body dies in stages with hands and feet die first as a person becomes unaware o them…then legs do and so on. Awareness of the body disappearing in a certain order. Let’s see if we can do a meditation practice identical to dying while living. We withdraw your attention into the head…gradually. 2-3 gifts given to us to do so…one is using the power of attention itself…it is to use our wakeful consciousness to place it wherever we like. Only part of our awareness we can move around is attention. If that is so we can also put our attention inside our head! Second gift is we can concentrate attention where we like. Like musical instruments in a concert…if you listen carefully drum will become louder and guitar will be less…same can be done here if we can concentrate our attention within our head. But problem still arise how to withdraw to ourself…third gift given to us is…IMAGINATION. Not focus but we are still inside…that’s a different process. We imagine we are sitting inside the head on the physical body and that we are living there to imagine that and put attention on imagining that and concentrating there gives you feeling of who you are…that’s a real process. Easy way to do is take this body as a house where we live. This body is a house with many floors. We are in the head behind the eyes at the sixth level (comparable to the energy centers). Each floor corresponds to different energy chakras. 6th-floor being at the eye level. What kind of chamber where I live in? We start examining not with these physical eyes but via eyes of imagination, which are also seeing. We don’t take them seriously because we call them imaginary. Decorate that place as it will easy to imagine being there otherwise your mind will focus on the outside. We can then start meditation there but this is very important if we are not able to establish ourselves as being there living there in that chamber it won’t work. If we are not busy working there our mind will constantly think outside the body. Merely doing a repetition of mantra …mind is running outside all the time. We are not trying to control the mind but occupy itself to area close to us which is behind the eyes. Once we do that to stay in that area we can go to the next level. But first step is so essential otherwise we remain outside all the time. GM told me meditation is useless unless you establish yourself behind the eyes.

40min- Therefore if we can do that make chamber in the head and that chamber is a beautiful place btw because it gives you the opportunity via imagination to decorate in way you can’t do outside. You can do anything with that imagination. I am not saying making it an imaginary experience but USE imagination as a tool coupled with the power of attention and coupled by power to concentrate behind the eyes where you go everyday to meditate. Starting point because people are on the spiritual path but they make no progress because they miss out on step No. 1. If you fight with mind…mind wins always! Mind runs and you bring it back…and that’s the whole meditation and at the end…you have won every battle but lost the war as mind was interested in you going out and coming back! Therefore, it is necessary to engage the mind in a different activity altogether…that involves only what you are doing within the 6th level in this meditation chamber in your head even it means decorating your 6the floor home. If you imagine you ae sitting somewhere…if you imagine and sufficiently…you are there…your attention creates consciousness to be there. If you look at yourself you are putting your attention from yourself. Withdrawal of attention is what we need not focusing attention as it is moving us away frrom us. To pull attention back to where you yourself are is an important step. What will happen then…you will not know where your hands and feet are…even where your body is and ultimately that will become your reality…what is happening…dying while living ❤ Therefore, it can be accomplished by us and if we can do that and aware of the space which is not connected with this body…the room becomes a reality and body is not there and loser the awareness then we can easily see who are we then! It is much easier to examine when you are unawre of your external body. Then what is the size of that room…you can find that…its whole universe..it expands…expands rapidly. The more you occupy yourself with imagination you will find you are able to concentrate your attention on being there…a key to discover who you are…you will find you have the same shape and turn head any direction you like. You can walk, fly that body inside chamber has no gravity, no weight…you will find so many things and find is that me…its your concious self. It will have whole universe of itself. If you can stay there on a daily basis you can remember how long you have been here, your memories of things before this physical body was ever born…100, 200, 1000 years…because you are now aware of what had 5 sense perception intact. Are we imagining these things…even if we are doing so how can all sense perception intact..actually they are better. All your sense perceptions are all not only intafct but much sharper and work much better. You will find less confusion. We are constantly changing opinions but there you have access to all the information at the same time. These experiences can come merely by becoming unaware of this body and know who you are. Ramana Maharishi -one day his servant he was away and Ramana thought he was going to die…he was afraid…I can’t call anybody…then it occurred to him…why am I so afraid to die…what will happen…he tried to artificially imagine what death would be like and when he practiced my body will die like this…he suddenly said …if I am dead now…who is speaking louder than before…that was beginning of power to talk and think has become stronger by pretending to be dead.

53min- You have to practice than discuss it. If you do it actually by locating yourself there (inside yourself) you will have all the experiences people have described heaven…you can even have the experience of meeting God. One step only…its still a wonderful place…you can fly and fly in the universe beyond this universe as well as this universe. The physical body doesn’t enhance sense perception it is only a little bit which we can peep through with these eyes. All senses operate better but of course if you are serious meditator and do it for long enough you will discover that the self we talk about has greater capacity to perceive is nothing more than sense perception itself. Sense perception do not die even if this body dies. Something in us before this body was born and that was transferring from one form to another. The truth is that thing is much longer lasting than the physical body. We can realise this if we follow this practice. Repeating of mantra…do you repeat them for power of those words, what is the use of these things? They are helpful in starting points because by repeating the mantra we prevent the mind for thinking the outside things. Its a simple benefit but the problem arises when we keep on repeating words and the mind still keeps on thinking. If I repeat the word God and Pizza…pizza would be more tempting 🙂 Therefore, we can’t repeat good words as they are connected with experiences outside. So we have to use words such as mantra are strange words which don’t associate with outside things. Even mind comment up on those words…where are these words coming from…. the same mind! Because the mind does not function in one level and has several channels. These mantras are useful but the mind can jump and think of another channel…watch carefully there is a voice you can use…your voice to repeat. It happens all the time. I had the good opportunity to host the Dalai Lama…he was a young man at that time and had two tutors who were teaching him how to meditate. During our discussion, he pointed out biggest difficulty he found was mind can think in several levels and he could observe up to 8 levels. People with meditating for years have shared this problem that the mind is so powerful it takes us away no matter how much we repeat words. The answer to this is to use repetition with every voice you can hear.

1hr3min- Let all 10 join you…best way to repeat word ..to make everything repeat the words…its a chorus! Then you have the problem of imaging coming…memories coming you can handle that also by using your imagination of having fixed images. We will practice them because I don’t believe that a talk is enough…we should walk the talk also ❤ Just to give you an idea of what happens when you discover you have a self…a form that exists…but the attention is mostly on the physical body outside. What is imagination? You will discover when you are unaware of this body. Imagination is not as imaginary as we think as it creates an experience of a world with that imagination. Most life we are leading here is imaginary. You see power of self and consciousness how it created all experiences. Imaginary becomes reality in other levels but we are still living in similar world…we are only discover a form of ourself (sense perception- astral plane) that’s all we have discovered. But by practising the same thing of going within…by similar techniques we can discover sense perception is merely a cover upon ourself. We can go further within and realise perception need not be divided and that whole experience is built together. That power of perception without dividing is possibly by inner body inside Astral body that is inside this body. There we discover that the power to think is not taking place in this body but inside…we call that the causal body that is the mind. When we discover that the thinking machine…inner thought primary thought creating experience ourselves we can see it ourself…all the experiences were stored there and we pulled out from there. A mind you can see and experience without senses and body. Nobody can see the mind but through this process you can see experience mind just by itself on how it creates sensory perception and all experiences in all universes. Its a great experience and some of the greatest successful people who have found out the truth about themselves…real cause of all experiences is arising from our own mind. One mind is diving all experiences into all of us. And yet, there are people who tell us that is not yourself…you just found a cover mind. That this experience of time and space which goes on till that level is itself not real but is created by power of consciousness! What is within that mind? This is a…no effort on your part can go beyond that. Go effortlessly must be some other method…how do we go if there is something beyond the mind? That is where the real spiritual path starts before that its just a mental game! 🙂

1hr12min- What is empowering the mind to function? Is n’t that the true consciousness how do we reach that? Now effort can do anything…how can we be effortless? A friend of mine in Harvard University found a way to be effortless. What is the process which can be effortless and take us beyond the mind? It has to be something that can pull us beyond the mind…there is a power that pulls us inside…that is the power of love…it pulls us all other mental activities are push and love is that pulls. How does it pull…it pulls when somebody pulls us. The beloved pulls yo and not only that beloved have to pull you. Persian mystic says love is first born in the heart of the beloved and then you become a lover. If we have to be pulled beyond the mind there has to be a beloved that pulls us beyond the mind. It must be some power that lies in state beyond the mind…such a power is also a power of consciousness. In terms of the physical word…we call that human being perfect living master (PLM). Meditation has its limitation but love is not an effort its a pull…you are pulled by love. If you have an experience with these kinds of people (PLMs)…they start having an association with us IF they are going to be eternal friends. They will start by becoming teachers teaching methods to push, meditate more, try hard etc. They will give you instructions…mind loves that…it loves to be taught. It has been so indoctrinated to work hard to get anything both outside or inside. They become friends. They have not come to teach…many teachers teach the same thing but they adopt this to satisfy our mind to learn this…when we try to practice they create a barrier…it does not succeed. Then we say something is wrong…they are telling us is beyond struggle or teaching. Eventually, we fall in love with these people and they attract us with their unconditional love. We can love anybody…love from them their love is totally unconditional, non-judgemental. They don’t come to punish as they know what trap we are in…they have love and compassion at all times. Its a very unusual experience. These attachments we are also calling love. This is not the kind of experience we have with these people…its pure non-judgemental love. All arguments of mind against this all the mind says is irrational, its illogical…love still overrides it…that’s the secret. If these PLMs are really operating beyond the mind…they pull us beyond the mind. No way to go beyond the mind without love and devotion. Of course its a great experience but not self realisation and nor is it a permanent return to our true home. We have to be pulled beyond the mind by someone who is aware of being already there. Its not a journey in that sense…at end we discover the whole experience took place there except for these covers upon us. It must be visible right here and at every level. When we have these spiritual experiences of elevated levels of consciousness if the mind was not there these levels of experiences we have…we have one level of experience at one time.

1hr22min- When you go beyond the mind you come to the source of all experiences on how consciousness operates and you can retain all the experiences. By process of illusion we create reality therefore we can have one reality at a time. These PLMs who have crossed the mind hold the reality of all levels at all times. Why do we say love and devotion? Because love is an experience that we have and our response is devotion…they go together. Devotion is like love and it fits when we experience we are being pulled by love. Love and devotion starts from here. There was a disciple of GM…his name was Daryai Lal Kapoor. Amazing story to show value of not effort by the mind but it succeeded as the path of spirituality is not of effort but of love and devotion. Therefore, this is a good lesson you learn because you are able to discover effort does not pay. Why PLMs tell about doing more meditation? Its to take us to a point where we realise it’s not a path of effort but path of love and devotion. But our mind is not satisfied so they will put us through a course to reach that threshold of true spiritual world. I will tell you a true story of my master’s master, Baba Jaimal Singh. Another beautiful story of how Jaimal Singh Ji missed his beloved master Swami Ji. The progress of soul is when love is felt by you its not always necessary..why not visual experience not necessary? Because the karma which requires fulfilling obligations then attention goes into that …we delay obligations outside according to our destiny. So we are blind folded but progress does not stop. When your inner eyes open up you can see where you are going with spiritual progress. Some people, nature there method of looking at reality is it must be visible. Visual experiences take place but when a true spiritual growth takes place I don’t want anything that visual experience becomes secondary. Mere visual experience does not create kind of faith on which we move forward as growth of love and devotion does in us. I am sharing these with you because I am not sharing anything from books..I am very happy to see all of you…I got this idea frrom my master only worth while thing to share is your experience than learned thing. I will not make any quotations…do something and we will do it together. We will start meditation process tomorrow ❤
