Happiness Comes From Inside | Ishwar Puri (Part 1 of 2)

Video Description: Welcome friends to this one-day meeting in Madison. It’s very nice to see people living with happiness because I believe there is nothing greater in the world than happiness. Happiness comes from inside not outside…you make other people happy. How is that happiness should come from inside? Because our true self generates happiness, joy, and bliss inside us. We have experiences outside which are created by our mind and body, sense perception and these experiences outside are only experiences but they do not constitute happiness…only via inside happiness we do. We are trying to get happiness in this world and we don’t find it outside but we only find it when we are secure inside. When we have that faith someone protecting us we get happiness inside. Who could it be? I meet many friends of mine they meet their boy and girl friends and they have met their soul mates and we love each other so dearly we will get married and seek your blessings..I say God bless you. After 3 months they come back to me we are in divorce court…these experiences we have are so temporary and they do not last. But if we have an experience of security someone holding our hands inside we would be happy all the time…if security is lost then we are unhappy. How can we become so secure inside? If our inner-self constitutes our sense perception if that part of us is secure we will be happy always outside. That’s a great secret to know you can find someone to hold your hands and be happy both inside and outside. Some people think by worship to God they are able to manifest that and become happy of having faith in God or in a belief system. But the problem arises when they hold hands with these different beings they are realizing they are holding hands with their own mind. It’s the nature of our human mind to create doubt or skepticism. Without them, we will not learn anything so it’s a bad thing at the same time. Some doubt is good to get certainty but then the mind takes away our happiness…and doubt is followed by fear. It creates insecurity so you are afr

…its amazing how many people are living in fear. The truth is most of our fears are fears of the unknown. When we know something we are not afraid as we take action. That is why we cannot steadily hold the hands of anyone inside so long it’s done with our mind. So there must be a better way…that is where we come into a relationship with people whom we call perfect living masters. They are those who have ascended in consciousness above the mind. These powers of intuition, love, and bliss do not belong to the mind but they are still with us…they are qualities of our own true self and refer to as spiritual values. These are embedded in our souls as there is no thinking involved. That is why this internal feeling where your consciousness is leaving your mind behind that is what can give you a feeling of confidence and security where there is no doubt and fear. The soul is the life force that makes our mind works. The soul has no doubt. When the soul identifies itself with the mind…I think therefore I am…not true at all…you are, you have a mind and through the mind, you think. The soul is independent of the mind. You can have that fearless state..state of certainty and no doubt. There are people who have transcended this tie-up with the mind..they have discovered their own souls. When we come across such people…they pull us with that love and with the power of the soul and we can have them as our companions we get a sense of security no mental effort can give.

14min- What brings these people here? They come in response to seekers of the truth about the self, about the creator and that is why if we seek they come into our life. When they know this is our true self and totality of consciousness everything is happening within that…with that awareness outwardly they are just like us. Their level of awareness awakened them to the truth. The soul does not need to speak…it only listens..it only watches the spectacle of the show and is given an accessory called the human mind which makes sense of this creation. Mind is merely an instrument to experience this creation. The soul is not participating but using an instrument to do so. There is no time lag between creation and experiencing of the creation…we are seeded inside these three covers of ours. Suppose we want to find out if our soul, and mind had a life of its own before we were born and if will there be an afterlife? How can we find the answer? The answer can be found in a simple way…you are wearing this body when you shed this body you will find out…do we have to wait to die is there no better way before we die? The answer is yes…pretend to die. Baba Ji gave the example of Ramana Maharishi. Pretending to die is not the same as the experience of dying…if we can die while living then that would be a good solution to is their life after death. We are conscious of a physical body around us then we are somewhere else. Supposing we find that this is happening because our consciousness is scattered and we began to withdraw it back to the brain. We eventually become unaware of this whole body…you can die while living. The Gospel of Paul said I die daily.

24min- We realise we are very much alive but not in this body. What will happen if we did this just once? If we did this one we will become fearless about death. Its fear of the unknown what happens after death but once you know you exist the fear of death disappears. Take this body as a cover/ vehicle…where is the driver seat of this car? It will be in the head behind the eyes that’s where you drive and direct your hands and legs to move. When we imagine something we can imagine anything…what eyes see that imagination? Some eyes inside and thoughts inside…we discovered that we have an inner body that can see, touch, and taste just like this physical body. If you can sustain that state a little longer by deeper meditation you will find you can recall how long you have been in this body. When we try to go to past life regression, we can find ourselves with our own memory. That’s a great experience that you existed prior to the birth of this body and you keep on existing after this body. All that’s needed is the withdrawal of attention of this body. That is the purpose of meditation at the 3rd eye center. It is via deep meditation that we think of ourselves is just a cover upon us to have a physical experience. We are wearing this jacket and inside we are wearing a sensory body therefore makes us feel we are using sense perception via these sense organs. The body of sense perception is referred to as the Astral Body. Religion is based on experience based on someone else’s experience and spirituality is based on your own experience. Your ability to know your own self there are 3 gifts given to us- 1. Power of imagination- using sense perception. All our attention is creating the reality of our p[physical self but if we pull our attention that will become real. When you put your attention to the inner body that will become real. That is also a body, not our soul. If you go beyond the mind you find the soul has no karma and does not reside in time and space and discover who you truly are and yet the soul experiences pure love, intuitive knowledge, bliss and joy, and appreciation of beauty. Withdraw your attention, die while living simulate that and you become unaware of this body astral body becomes real. Laws governing our astral state are different… there time flows differently than here…there time is under your control. Moreoever, you want to talk to people…communication is telepathic and you use the meaning of language. You can read everybody’s mind and laws of experiences are so different from here. Therefore, when you open up that stage you have a higher experience, greater knowledge. The nature of experience is different there and great thrill to have that experience. You can then withdraw your attention within the head of that astral form and become unaware of that sense perception…then you have no form…you are just consciousness… but you still think, reason and realise how thoughts are creating experiences for you. There you see the power of thinking. This is the causal self where you discover all we have experienced in physical world was generated there.

40min- Who is empowering that mind it is still the soul that has to give life to the mind. But that experience is amazing. There you generate destinies. Who created our destinies…the answer will come right there. You choose different kind of freewill altogether. Its an illusion of freewill there. You can pickup different destinies but truth is we don’t pick up destiny to live life like that. When you go to the origin you discover itw was suppose to be a DVD to play to constitute human life there and why you picked up this life. You evaluate … when you have a total picture that one DVD contains one life…it is a life in the physical world it gets immediately gets trapped into cause and effect and therefore if no cause you have to create a cause so you create a past life..DVD does not contain one life but past life we never lived. And past lives must be created from other life and infinite lives are tagged on and so on. We come for one life and get trapped for many lives. When the soul identifies with the mind it suffers karma. It’s a great experience. Time never moves as events are placed and we move. Someone told me Egyptians learned how to time travel but we are all time travelers from event to event. What they learned was how to accelerate themselves. When do you find the truth of this when you are in the causal world. These are not speculations but can be revealed to all..don’t believe them but explore and find out for yourself. If it’s not true come and tell me we will exchange notes. How do we cross the final barrier is the most difficult…we are going to cross the mind and we have no method known to us by using the mind itself. All effort we make in this world is made by the mind. All struggles we do is made by own mind…to go beyond no effort can help you. There spirituality totally differs from mental realisation. Spirituality is where the spirit can be discovered by yourself. No amount of meditation can help you there. A mantra is a mental exercise. So what can take us beyond the mind? It is something that can pull us beyond the mind….what belongs to the spirit…what is that…love, intuition, beauty, these belong to our soul. When I talked about who is a PLM…if we come across such people the experience we have with such people and we are pulled by his unconditional love coming from above the mind…where they want to pull you from. To take you there with their awareness they pull you with that awareness pull you beyond the mind. You experience love and you are devoted to it and you can cross the mind. In spiritual love there is no condition or judgement at all. It pulls you without your mind able to stop it. It is by associating by PLM we are pulled beyond the mind. Love only can take us there…devotion is our response to that. Its a natural effect. When someone can pull you with that unconditional love…beyond your doubts that person must be a PLM operating beyond the mind. That person has compassion and realise we are caught up in the mess of this world, our guilt etc when they see us living like this…they know what state we are in and are there to get us out of this mess.

53min- When will they come…when we are seeking and when we are ready. Gradually they will reveal themselves…you will find how their love is so unconditional and pure. Ego is the face of our mind. The ego is the greatest separator than anything else. In true love ‘I’ disappears for the moment. If anything that can push the ego behind it is love. True love can really help you to forget yourself. People confuse love with attachments. Attachments bind us down more…in love, there is the experience of there is no separation. If someone pulls you with unconditional love then he/she is a PLM. Of course if you ask me ordinary criteria- PLM will look ordinary like us, he will a giver not a taker…he will not use his teachings as a part of his income and share with us his awareness and he will perform private not public miracles and not claim to be a master. This business of being a guru has turned out to be profitable business…but PLMs with that awareness come to give something not to take. They come to share things and take us back home and become friends. They are friends first and guru afterwards. My own masters used to say there are more gurus and less disciples. We can never know who is a PLM but can guess and there maybe 20 people and still unsure…we are confused…is this a fake one or real. MY suggestion is don’t worry about it…if somebody tells you to go within and you experience drawn by his teachings…follow him. Suppose he is a fake guru…doesn’t matter as he has pointed you in the right direction….if you can’t go any further inside then another guru will step in to take you further. If your seeking is beyond the mind a PLM WILL appear in your life via coincidences and circumstances. I remember a beautiful disiple…Trilok Chand a great seeker. Funny but amazing story 🙂 No effort spent on the spiritual path goes to waste all sounds toward your spiritual growth.

1hr20min- Master appears by coincidence and one is pulled by the master. If you are a seeker seek…keep on seeking and you will find the rest. That’s the nature of our soul which remains connected with the totality…separation is an illusion…and one who has awareness of the creator knows it while he is here or anywhere else. When we make spiritual progress…we can get the experience of dying while living, opening another sky, more skies…orange sky…and we can see our own destinies being made. Those experiences doesn’t mean we found our own self but different levels of reality. When we do that we only have one reality at one time. This physical reality is only real when we become unaware of one level and aware of other level that is the only reality. When you go to your true home, the whole show is taking place there. When you reach that level, then you retain the awareness of all levels. Now imagine a human being like us sits here with that awareness. They have a special role as they don’t come as teachers but to take us to our true home. They teach because we want to be taught. Ultimately its the love that pulls us. Such is the experience of people who associate with PLMs. No love of any kind equal that from a PLM and I say this from my experience with my beloved master Baba Sawan Singh Ji. People following masters who don’t recognise my master…say we don’t see him as a master as there was no will by higher masters…they come to me…you are following a fake guy…and you should follow the real thing…I tell them look I don’t know people you are talking about…I only know I met a man who promised something that appealed to me and he delivered to me…what else I need. Baba Ji shared some master visiting him to initiate him. But I already got initiation but he said that is not the right kind of initiation…you have to work hard in that intiiation…I show God when I give initiation right then. I said I very much appreciate your offer truth is I am very patient man and I can wait. No no I still want to initiate you…I said OK..go ahead…he initiated me…I said looks like nothing in between I said no….he said That is God he is formless. At night it dawned upon me space creates all this universe. Physics says that that space creates everything. I realised I was trying to laugh but he shared the truth. So I can’t say he gave me some realisation! But of course this world is made of space…does not contain the element of unconditional love which pulls our soul more than mind. The soul wants to be loved and love and unconditional love comes from PLM. Its not necessary to argue or debate about it…when you are a seeker inside PLM comes into your life and take you back home. I am very happy to meet all of you.
