The Real Form of The Master Is Shabd – Sound Current | Ishwar Puri (Part 2 of 2)

Video Description: Welcome friends, brothers, sisters I am very happy to be here today. It is essential to meet some of you. The spiritual path, santmat, is an open invitation to seekers of all faiths, religions, nationalities, ages- it does not distinguish between any two people. Gender is a very local thing it is only created when the soul enters the world of mind, senses and physical world. Our soul when it transcends these 3 regions (astral, causal, physical)- its a beautiful mew of so much light. The light coming from a single soul above the mind is equal to 16 of solar suns which we see outside. You can imagine how much light there is…there are unlimited souls there. Somebody yesterday commented about 16 suns where I derived from…including the teachings of my master. Someone in email said its only 12 suns. It is just a way of expressing something. But what is indicated is when the soul splits in gender…illumination f that soul is shared by that gender but these are just points of discussion. I can assure you if you actually see that you will be tongue-tied as descriptions here are what we can see, touch and taste…we cannot describe something that’s different from the physical world therefore use analogies. Shiv Dayal Singh (swami Ji of Agra) used to describe higher regions…tall trees there, with diamonds, rubies…of course no space and time there but to describe how beautiful it is…they are just descriptions that made up. Book called Anurag Sagar…in that book it talks about Kabir and Dhrama Das. Consciousness means you can be aware of whatever you are conscious of. We rather call it a creator/ God different words for God in different religions. What creative power creates through that power of consciousness all levels of creation and great variety of creation…its unlimited. We only see the small part in this physical world. We sometimes say imagination…imagine anything…not really but we say that. But to imagine something outside space and time fails because our mind-dependent imagination is limited whereas our true self is beyond space and time. I get emails from serious students and they take these numbers very literally…these are just examples to make us feel that there is something better but only way to know is going within to check it out. Spiritual path is not religion. The permanent self which is having this experience of illusion is inside. We can take any form but self will always be inside that form.

11min- Consciousness assumes forms and we take this form…all forms that have life have soul in it. It is not something that comes from outside..that is why the example of a puppet doesn’t fit here. Here the puppeteer is inside the puppet. All religions stated if you find the truth…you have to go within your own self..own self at all times means that you believe to be yourself. We don’t know what our real name is. Withdraw your attention and find out that you have an inner self. We will do some meditation to experience what is our inner self and different from our body where it is located. The inner self has a name…in previous life it was born in a different body. When you go inside and find inner self it has many names. I was mentioning when you find your inner self you will notice different incarnations with different names. You have different names there and then you go higher up and you find there is no names with no language and the name is something very different that cannot be described…above that you find your name is nameless. This identical we do with covers upon us are experiences which is wonderful. We came here for adventure…somebody sent me a poem by a Muslim poet (Nadrul) about a big fat child that creates things, and break it up…that is called the creation of the world…if he himself manifests himself in all of us…divided into several souls…our souls are like points of view of creator. The totality of consciousness is only one…it just spread out and we play. Characters don’t like the play when its suffering, in pain…sometime it looks positive also. The word used to create creator is uski mauj say yeh houa…what is mauj? Its a playful will…that is mauj which created this in order to have high drama then only its adventure. Although its unreal we should make it real. People we like thrill. We came to see this great show and after the show we go back home. Its an extended movie this life in form of dreams within dreams and created a large extended time-frame. This is the basis of which we are working the way back.

20min- Thank God it was just a dream…its exactly the same thing here…when you leave this life here…you won’t say it was a bad life I visited…you say ah that was a scary dream but some was good also….just like you like both negative and positive thing of a movie. Its a question of awareness. When you go back to your true home feeling is completely different. Its not that we have come to another land but another experience generated by us. When we go to our true home it never looks like why we created such bad experience. There must be reasons why you create good and evil, pain and pleasure, suffering and happiness. The truth is you cannot have any experience in this universe if there is no opposite of it…this is a world of duality. Everything you see here has an opposite of it. If one disappears whole experience disappears. All experiences taking place in the 3 worlds of creation is made up of pairs of opposite. But our true home is not made of duality but immense peace and bliss but we won’t be able to experience our true home. This experience generates an appreciation of our true home. Having a true home…which has no opposite…no duality and in order to experience something no duality we created duality and experience here becomes an opposite of the non-duality state of our true home. There are souls there that are dancing up there but souls that are here…those who haven’t left home are called huns and ones who have been here are called buns. Hans are dancing and singing but buns are dancing even more…buns tell them you don’t know what you are missing. But by creating pain and pleasure we are able to experience bliss at our true home. It’s not a purposeless creation. Of course, if this creation was as real as our true home then there would be a big question mark why create this but once we found out this one is not real…this is maya… it made up to create an experience which leads to a much greater experience of our true home. If the creator is permanent creation is also permanent otherwise appreciation of our true home will cease…therefore it is created forever. He can be one and many and since there is no time one and many overlap. So at Sachkhand…you are on all the lands at the same time…all in one place…you are experiencing totality. We are enlightened where creator and creation are a joint thing. What is the source of the creation and creator? The source which causes the creator to be there are identical…because we have no language to describe it…but we describe it as “The Word”. All things are made by him and nothing that is not made by him. John’s Gospel makes a clear statement…this Word is the word to explain who created the creator. In the Rigvedas in the beginning there was sound and Naard created a creator and everything. Guru Granth Sahib, it says the same. All of them are using language to explain the creator of everything. We are saying sound created…we are explaining this way because the creator permeates every part of the creation (which we call word) inside our body..into ourselves…everywhere but when we try to reach our own self…and try to meditate and put attention inside the body…we can hear it at this level as a sound…no wonder they use the word to explain it, which in actuality cannot be described but can he heard.

35min- It is the shortest way to reach our true self. When we put our attention away from our life force we are taking a detour from our own route. That sound…travel with it…and you will be able to travel back all way to your true home. If someone is interested in a true home…the shortest and surest way is to attach to that which is connected to your true home and beyond. This requires attention to that sound/ word/power we call it surat shabd yoga. It is the easiest and fastest way to go back to your true home. There are antibodies hiding in the wall so if you have an infection if you have an infection from outside it can fight. There are good germs inside that are fighting bad germs. We have around 3 lbs of germs! Then they have such a system where bacteria come they check if they are friends or foes. This is a battle going on in our body….are we aware of it? Our autonomy…we are run by a system by our own mind…has no control over. There are only some points where we interfere..experience is generated by such great details… it’s not set up by human design but designed by the same Word. It is creating a whole experience. The SELF lives in this body. You don’t decide which mother to pick up. Something must decide where we will be born with our karma. Our destiny from birth to death is written completely before the conception of the body in the mother’s womb. The embryo is part of the mother…it becomes a fetus and in the 5th month of pregnancy mother says somebody is kicking me inside… embryo then becomes a human being still to be born and that human being who was probably walking outside a day before, dies and is in 5th month of pregnancy.

44min- You have grown fully in your previous body, you have remembered your own life but what you forgot when you die the whole flash of life goes in front of you so whole pralababh you know..and then you are in a woman’s womb. Prablabh is making the conception…very first cell it makes is the cell of the brain and the second cell is the heart…brain and heart are one cell each. They keep on multiplying and add on things. One marvels how if you have studied the movement of babies before being born they react so much to talking outside…they connect to the outside as they are blocked from seeing and then they grow till they are born…as soon as they connect with outside…memories are still there and come out as babies they try to speak to us…the vocal cords are changed…they look eyes are sharp of little infants…but as they keep on growing memory fades, the new body becomes reality and by they are one year old they forget the past…that’s how we use awareness into new bodies. It is a system where attention is allowed to grow outside from birth till death. It’s only when we find we are fed up of the world that we want to go back to our totality….we have to reverse it by going back to ourselves inside. Withdraw your attention not put it out…difference in focus of attention outside to withdraw your attention to yourself…where…in the head…we try to figure out a point…it means putting your attention on yourself…where are we? If you are not the body then who are you. The only thing we can be certain is that “we are”. There is live proof of your existence is your existence. When you examine your body you can figure out where I am talking from. You always know your attention has always flowed out from centre of your head to the outside. You come to the conclusion that you exist at the 3rd eye center behind these eyes…how far behind? In the center. You imagine that you are there…imagination is a great power and we don’t use it fully.

57min- If you can imagine that you are sitting in the center of this head (where you are actually sitting) you are then withdrawing your attention. Kabir says even if you move the beads, and your tongue repeats the words but your mind is going outside in the world…that is not simran. But if you can sit inside forget beads, tongue, and only imagine you are there…you are withdrawing your attention to yourself. The whole secret of using surat shabd yoga is to imagine you are at the center of your head. The sound is there right where you are…when you imagine you are at the right place the sound comes, you attach yourself to the sound and you are pulled by it. I recommend if you want a shortcut to your true home attach yourself to the inner sound and you are way back to your true home. It works and works really well but need to practice correctly and you need guidance in that. One that operates from suchkhand if such a person gives you initiations he manifests himself within you and waits for you inside. If you are attention is even half-withdrawal you will see your guru…when you began to see your guru (via imagination to start with). Imagination can be of recalling your guru…imagine what you saw…when we living person who we imagine as one did what you imagine shortly after that living person starts saying more and suddenly becomes alive. It takes a while to establish this experience…it come and goes in the beginning but if you have patience ultimately its instantaneous. Have a nice conversation, walk, fly and ultimately it becomes so normal you don’t have to close your eyes. You can hold his hand, you can be driving your car and he can be sitting beside. That’s the most wonderful thing. You can even fly outside…so what. Its just an experience. To have a friend who is always with you and takes part in your activities in your job, humor, and cracks joke with you what do you think of that experience. A PLM manifesting in you and you are reaching that point and imagine him inside you I don’t see anything like that anywhere.

1hr6min- I am sharing and recommending also as were on the same path and backing it up with my experience and I hope you would take advantage of it. Let me thank you all for joining me and I will take up a few questions now. Interesting question- I asked the same question once…I asked the same question from GM..I said master you say that you are inside us and when we want to ask questions and you will help us from inside…do you have any knowledge outside also? One master Baba Fakir Chand he made a statement master knows nothing and true master is inside us that is why master inside and outside are the same. Inside one is the true master and outside is a replica of that master…outside acts according to what’s happening to inside master. Outside has to behave like an ordinary person…if he says he senses outside so nobody will go inside….therefore its appropriate for the master to tell the disciple to go inside to ask for help. Master wants us to meditate and find the truth inside. Inner form of the master never dissolves even when master dies outside. I had to find some appropriate language to explain how the masterworks. The master use a clone…a clone is a replica of the master…and put that clone in each person they initiate but they are in constant touch with the clone. Therefore physical form of the master all time know it but don’t have to use it for interaction for the disciple other than just being friends. Truth is a master in its awareness knows everything but he acts ordinary and therefore we can be free with the master as external friendship. When we go inside he can be very different. Once yu know what this cloning system is master can take care of them and be in touch with all of them. Sometime we think master maybe using a clone and does not know. Clone means identical copy of the master and the awareness of the clone (inside) it acts more aggressively as our friend. I think its a good game that there is no better game than play game with your master. Don’t put him high above you…master is your friend and he will share your life, he will suffer with you…and he will fly, dance with you, eat with you. That’s the beauty of naam daan by a PLM.

1hr17min- If my master leaves his body before I establish him inside me. Please answer in Hindi or Punjabi. The question is if a Satsangi does naam simran regularly but when he gets old he can’t remember the simran words. The answer is yes …nowadays we can’t remember everything…we use iPhone or paper to write things we forget. Its best words be best be shared between initiates- that’s perfectly normal but not necessary. If you have guru bhakti (love and devotion) you don’t need words…you don’t even need simran…it becomes such that mind cannot interfere…no simran is necessary. So its really part of love and devotion. All these are possibilities but do not emphasize words will carry you far. When sound comes you can drop the simran. Do simran to repel the negative entities and powers around you. When you have unshakable faith in your guru…no meditation is necessary. When somebody misses somebody its a sign of love. There are people who have gone directly to Sachkhand at time of initiation…they worked very hard in the past lives and went to stage 1 and even in early lives also.

1hr30min- I meet many who are iniated by many masters. Change from master to master is a progressive stage…who will take you back…people have seen more than one master. Real form of the master is the sound current. In the Bible it says Word Made Flesh. Which one will you see after you die? Suppose you had 4 masters….all are the same..when you die…and master comes to take you…or dying while living (same thing) which master will come? Answer is whichever master has pulled you with his love more…takes you โค Beautiful story Baba Ji shared about Jaimal Singh and Bagga Singh Dera….he talked about Prataph singh who was initiated by baba Deva Singh…when he meditated he would see Baba Sawan Singh…he would say get away you are not my master…ultimately it became so bad he went to Beas and told Baba Sawan singh…I am not your disciple but of Baba Deva Singh why are you coming and interfering in my meditation. GM said one of the rules if a disciple has any problem you should go to your own Guru โค Baba Deva Singh said…all mastes are the same…they are sabh roop..don’t make a distinction but who disciple follows depends on who’s love pulls you most. It looks like GM is pulling you more..go to him and tell him…my master has sent me and if you accept me. GM said of course you are welcome. Later one he became Guru of Deva Sing himself…everytime I met him. Answer is simple if path is love and devotion that master will come and visible to you at time of death where he is pulling you with his love.

1hr41min- Masters pretend to be teachers but they are friends who have come with a list of marked souls without any conditions. They WILL take them home no matter what. Its not based on karma, or meditation you do or love or hate them because your time has come to go back home and they will take you back home. I am leaking out a secret…meditate more to see the real form inside and take advantage because time is very precious…when time has gone so much time I wasted I could have used better then you regret. Therefore, make best use of your time and I recommend to all my friends is to change your priorities in life. Put your meditation at No. 1 priority…it doesn’t matter how long…5minutes No.1! If you put this priority high you WILL be successful. Last thing before you go to bed, meditation. I turned 88 years old and in that celebration they emphasised what gift we can give him…I said I prefer astral flowers, I got a lot of astral flowers…I said best gift you can give me is 5 minutes meditation in early morning and before going to bed โค come back and maybe I should give you that parshaad.

15th of March 2015

1hr45min- Welcome friends on the spiritual path of santmat…we have come to the 3rd and final day of this program in New Delhi. I am happy to meet so many of you…you are all following the same path which is our true home our Sachkhand. Our lives are different, our destinies are different our faces are different, clothes are different…only over here as in true home there is no differences where we are all same we are pure soul. We get together here so we can find the truth about ourselves. We should not miss this opportunity. If you can have the capacity to look back on previous lives you will be astonished we have been trees, mammals, and birds and gone through a whole cycle of births. To be human is a great opportunity for us. Don’t waste it by living like animals. With the special privilege we have of seeking and finding the truth we have a limited window of opportunity. Even with distractions of physical world, we get initiated by PLMs and have resources to go within and find out our true home and yet we waste our time focusing on external things. Satsanghis mean to keep the sang of the truth. Have we made use of the fact that we have found the companionship of a person who is talking from Sachkhand? We are wasting so many moments of our life and the master gives us every opportunity to make our inner life successful. My purpose of the visit is to remind you to make spirituality the highest priority. If my visit here has given you the urge to go back to regular meditation my visit is successful. But if it’s merely a discourse that came in from one ear and went out from the other ear..then it’s no use. The whole idea of my visit is I have benefited from Great Master and it can alter anybody’s life…its a practical and scientific thing. Let us not make Santmat into a religion. I was talking to a few friends just now…there in USA I met so many satsanghis…we went to grocery store and looked at labels at everything to read ingredients labels. I suggested to them if you do half time meditation the labels won’t matter at all. What good is being a vegetarian if you are angry and lustful all the time? We put our emphasis on the wrong thing and then we say we are satsanghis. They should become a mastana…an intoxicated one. We are bothered by what others say…what I am trying to say is real secret of the path is to immerse yourself in the love and devotion of your master โค There is so much to be thankful for. Compare with people who are living in great poverty and stress and you will be full of gratitude and that’s worth more than collecting books. Reading books will not take you anywhere..it gives us information but if we don’t ACT upon the books we get nothing. I came here to tell you what you should give highest priority towards. I met you individually…when I saw you coming to take parshaad…maintain that devotion. You can go into state of parbraham by love and devotion of the PLM therefore keep the big things in mind…love and devotion of the master…using meditation to develop that love and devotion. I hope you will be able to see you again sometime. I am still happy, I am going to come back again to India to Banglore. I wish you best of luck on your spiritual path. Remember the words I shared with you and they are beneficial if you practise them โค Blessing of Great Master on all of you.
