Bhandara 2015 – Dying While Living | Ishwar Puri (Part 1 of 7)

Rice Lake, Wi (Part 1 of 7)

Video Description: He welcome to the celebration of Bhandara of his GM Baba Sawan Singh Ji. He talked about celebrating on 2nd April each year when GM passed away in 1948. He mentioned about why giving importance to day GM passed away…the reason is we don’t really dies…our body dies…we do not consider death to be end of ourselves. Its just end of a costume in this physical universe. The more important reason is for disciple of GM were privileged to be sitting at his feet…it is a great day of rejoicing as he becomes more available to us even more when he was in the physical body. PLM tells us when he accepts us as his permanent friend..he told us he has manifested himself within us…when he dies he is manifesting himself in us…so for us he does not die. It is a relationship of soul to soul between PLM and a disciple. They do not come to have physical relationship in this world but to take our soul back home…since they come in human form…they cannot take all that want to go home…so they take selective souls back to true home are marked-soul for that particular master. Those who have been seeking who go back home…the secret is seeking of our true home…if we are happy in this material creation they don’t bother us…they say go and have a good time enjoy (or suffering) having experience of duality.

Unlike other masters, PLM don’t come to teach us anything. Nor do they come to make us better people as that only equates to better karma in our next life. They come with simple mandate to pick up their marked souls. They lay no conditions for initiation. They just say this is a soul ready to go home and its PLM duty to take them back home. They take us back home with power of Love. Their qualification is they have unconditional love and they pull us with their unconditional love. Their method of taking us back home is not by extraordinary miracle but by power of their love. They should a LOT of private miracles (yes that is so true!!!).

10min- He elaborated on how effort is ‘required’ by the mind but we realise effort is nothing but spirituality is a path of effortless. PLM make us go through intellectual study, listen to discourses why because that is how we think we can gain knowledge. They answer our question, go into debate with us. When we are tired of this we find intellect cannot reach point where we want to go…then they help us get back home via love and devotion. Devotion is a response to love. This is so important we forget whole path is based on Love and Devotion. Meditation is to mediate on something…we are all doing so but on worldly things. Mediate upon the truth/self/ love and devotion for Lord/ master and these things require we use meditation as means to keep quite, closing eyes (so we don’t have to look outside) and talk to God/ Master/ Ourselves.

15min- We spread ourselves in so many in order to have experience of created reality. There are many levels of consciousness where we can experience different kinds of reality. We create process of illusion to create reality. At present physical experience is real for us…that is why physical master is real for us. But when we go different from this level (higher or lower) this level of reality disappears and another ones opens up. He used an example of dream (lower level) to explain this concept of time and space in a dream where everything looks normal to us. We created a reality by shutting off wakefulness. We are keen to experience reality and that is why we make a dream reality…when we wake up we know it was not real.

Experience of waking up is one of the greatest experience in our life…where we never ask anybody where is the proof!

Ishwar Puri Ji

19min- When we wake up we don’t need any proof…why? Proof itself is embedded in the waking up process…this is due to memory we went to bed and now we remember….its the SAME awakening when we go to different higher level of consciousness. It is a series of awakenings to find another self in us which has a much longer life in us and moved from body to body. There is no proof of a pudding without eating…there is no proof life after death without experiencing it! He talked about simulate death via dying while living. He talked about Ramana Maharishi who pretended to be dead. He wondered what will happen when he dies….he pretended to be dead…if I am dead who is asking are you dead or not! There is something that exists in us that never dies. He talked about when a person is near the physical death. Withdrawal of life-force in stages…what is creating life-force all over the body? What is making us aware…it is our attention to different parts of our body…it is scattered all over the body. Without attention we won’t be aware of what we have.

25min- He talked about physical body we can perform function that death perform by withdrawing our attention. We can die while we are living…a secret of discovering The Truth! He emphasis ed this being a matter of experience and not guess work. Right now in physical body we feel we are right behind the eyes…we meditate where we are inside. Just sitting here reading books does not give us anything…we NEED to practice it! We awake to world where we find we have all our sense perception intact. He talked about our imaginative body…same consciousnesses inside us assist us to imagine where we stand and locate our-self anywhere via imagination. We don’t realise our attention is creating our reality. We have put our attention on external world…when we withdraw attention we can experience death while living.

30min- He shared story of parrots. on pretending to die while living to get out of the cage 🙂 We can have experience of what is beyond this physical plane. He talked about radiant form of the GM once he left his physical plane ❤ Bhandaar means abundance…can be abundance of food (Scooby Doo would love this!). But for us it is the abundance of grace…so freely given and distributed on 2nd April…for Baba Ji it is the greatest day of the year. Grace gives us both love and devotion. Sometimes we don’t know what grace is. Grace is even in the effort we are making! Grace makes a seeker when we start meditating…these feelings don’t come without grace. He emphasized beauty of Grace and a PLM carries himself consciousness of God.

39min- Grace of Master and Grace of God are identifiable…that is why when we come across a PLM…we are ready…when he initiated us…he becomes a co-traveler with us. He shared a sweet story of a king who go out incognito to see how his citizens are living. One time he went out and became friend with a wood cutter in a forest. We cannot know who a PLM is unless he becomes our friend. We are not accepting these things…if he doesn’t become just like us. These PLM become like us and see no difference and that is why we become friends and experience true love of another human being. True love comes from our soul.

True love comes from our soul. Where there is love there is no ego

Ishwar Puri Ji

He talked about ego trips, attachments, sensory system being attractive that does not constitutes love. Love pulls us and whole mind is trying to find it…such love is not easily found. That sort of unconditional love can be found in a PLM. PLM’s non judgemental compassion and love for us cannot be matched by anybody. We want to find out true home with the mind.

50min- How can any meditation take us beyond the mind? Thees are all mental activities but one thing that does…it does not belong to mind and body is the soul power of – love, intuitive knowledge, appreciating joy and beauty. All other is just preparation…we work hard to find out this will not work. So why do so? Because mind does not accept that! He talked about Daryai Lal Kapoor a former judge story with GM. GM said you can take any job you like…a legal advisor to us etc. Daryai Lal said he only wanted to be the doorman. He passed away and also wrote beautiful books. He once told master a few years later of enjoying his seva as doorman…he thanked Master to have given him the great seva…but he felt bad about not able to meditate properly! He talked about getting keys for GM’s home in Dalhousie (a hill-station in India). Then the goofy story starts…. 🙂 The morale of this story was to experience effort will give us nothing ❤ Spirituality is not a path of effort…this is a path of love and devotion within our-self. This path is not haath yoga (stubborn yoga)…something does not belong to time and space is beyond the mind. We are caught up in law of karma (cause and effect).

The soul has and never will have any karma…it’s pure consciousness. It does not mean we have to do any particular kind of yoga…the whole system is based on mind and we are talking of going back to true home.

He talked about eating food where if we are full but it takes 20 minutes for stomach to send the message to the brain! Therefore, eat less we will be healthier.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr- In inner-self we take astral body and we can fly. But we cannot fly when we talk of Sachkhand or true home! There is no word for it at all. That is why words we use which are states of being… we cannot call being in true home as an experience…therefore there is no word for it. Everything is created from there and imagine possibility of having that experience when we are in our physical body. He talked about according to Indian scriptures there are 8.4million species of life that exists in this universe. Astral experience with this world and we can have experience of this world (if we meditate) we can jump into other body and move around…we can experience this world and fly of outside this world. Since we have this experience of the overlap that is why we come across ghosts, spirits. Ghosts have their sense perception open hence they can see us..their eyes are the same (astral eyes) therefore we are restricted with what we can see. If we remove this, we can see a lot more…people left the body who are still here…why they are here…because of attachments! He then shared an interesting story of a lady and her husband (who passed away but was probably around in his non-physical body…). He shared a true story because the disembodied spirit still struggle to leave even if they are initiates!

1hr7min- He talked about emphasis of forgiveness, which will help us release from being held back! He talked about his wife opened a book and there was a daily quote! Statement was somethings in our life are unforgivable…that is where you should forgive! Forgiveness releases us from problem of going within. When we forgive we are ready to move forward. If we can practice these things meditation with love and devotion. He talked about sitting behind the eyes…master maybe hiding behind curtain…we ask when we will remove the curtain maybe I will tear apart the curtain…I will be interacting with the master…he sits inside us and we sit there…engage mind so it cannot think of another thing…talk to the master with passion…be angry and complain to him…that’s love. Meditation will be successfully…if done with passion, love and feeling for the true friend. Initiation is not a method of teaching anything. Kingdom of God is within us…it is the question how do we sustain inside when mind wandering outside…best answer is…if we have a permanent friend inside our head in the physical body…talk to him daily at all times…friend will be with us externally and internally all time! He talked about celebrating the Bhandara day of abundance of grace. He talked about being NEVER alone as he has his master with him at all time…Grace flows immensely. 2nd April when GM became permanently with him at all times. Getting his radiant inner form in us all at times. They never die…we also never die…we survive only body does…they don’t leave us half-way they take us right to the end. Why do masters take same level which we are at? Because that is only way we can be truly our friend. One of the great disciple of GM Dr. Isher Singh said Master is friend first and then master. Master is one that loves you as if you and him are on the same level. He welcomed all to celebration of the Bhandara. Day of abundance of grace…absorb as much as we can…we can experience so much grace and love this day. He thanked everyone for listening to him.
