Apology for the hoarse voice…this morning I was listening to a song sent by a friend from India…a poem composed by Bulleh Shah and sung by a famous singer. The theme was love is more important than anything else. We say God is Love…then God should be the same as love and love should be equated with God. If we are all children of God then we should love each other…our real nature is love. Reading scripture will not give us salvationโฆa beautiful song. Love has intoxicated even profits, saints and realised souls and should be given the highest priority. I entirely agree with Bulleh Shah because we have not experienced the power of love. We have a dharma to carry out our karma. To do our duty as love…is a mistake…we should fulfil our duty but does not mean we should consider this is love. To experience love, to experience it within yourself…it is not outside. The source of love is inside us, not outside and to be able to go within is not difficult. When we have great power to close our eyes, withdraw our attention and investigate who are we inside our body. Make our mind as quiet as possible, or ignore it if it’s too chatty…sit inside and watch what our mind is doing. If you want to be a spiritual person…spend as much time as possible to devote to exploring yourself inwards. Giving up expectations our life changes and replaces it with acceptance. Destiny will play its role anyway as things will happen no matter how hard you try to change things.
…if you expect, be ready for disappointment. Can we lead a life without expectation? Sure we can! Acceptance is a replacement for expectation. Change from expectation to acceptance changes your life immediately and can be done anytime.

11min- What is is so why not accept. Life becomes very different. Master Ji talked about Go with the flow… living in the will of the creator. Enjoy the fantasy of our imagination. If you nearly imagine sincere feelings as real as this life…they become real. Many of you may have seen the movie Secrets. How do you have full faith? The mind doubts everything… it’s ingrained into it…our mind is an instrument given with a function called doubt. It’s built-in, so we are not gullible.
15min- Mind creates scepticism about everything…its a very good function. Without questions, you will be taken advantage by others..to question is very important and have a doubt to start with and remove your doubt with experience. In order to have that faith, some experience is necessary. Faith should not be based on blind faith…living faith requires that the events leads to that faith are alive. Faith is part of life and grow with experience on belief system based on your own experience not anyone else’s. On the spiritual path I talk to you there is no scope of blind faith no matter how small the experience is. Master Ji talked about coincidence which carries a message…I can tell you wieh my experience of 1000s of friends ever since they were on the spiritual path number of such coincidences has increased. That kind of living faith works well on the spiritual world and the temporary world of the physical world. That itself is good enough of talking of Bulleh Shah speak. He talks in such strong tone about the beloved whom love is coming to you how can you displease that beloved. Master Ji shared a beautiful story of Bulleh Shah โค How can the master be displeased by the disciple? Bulleh Shah says that was real teaching of what the intensity of love means and what beloved means…I will not displease by beloved no matter what happens. I am mentioning to you we think we have love from everybody…it breaks up its temporary its either infatuation, physical attraction or mere attachment…we call them love..they are conditional on a respond coming to us. In true love there is no response at all its always unconditional to experience it is very rare. Master can love us unconditionally, there is no judgement. They speak from pure love that is why their love is always unconditional. Imagine how lucky we would be to find such a person who can give us unconditional love…flowing from the house of God…we are in the company of such a person you get all you desire. That is why these PLMs exist…always existed, so long as humans have been on this planet. Kabir says he was there four times and three times he didn’t reveal himself but in his fourth life, he revealed himself. Wherever there is a seeker who is seeking the ultimate truth, there will be a master. Who created the soul? There is only one totality of consciousness and soul is merely a separate point of view.
31min- In religious literature…in the Bible, In the beginning was the Word…it does not say in the beginning was God. The Bible explains when the master appears…the Word becomes flesh…in Rig Vedas’ oldest scriptures available…the Nad was the creator of all things. What is Nad? It is the sound. In Islamic literature, its sound in the sky…why do they all call ultimate power as a word or a sound? What could be the possible reason and describing the ultimate power higher than God…reason is very simple…that word creates true home right now as we sit here…that great power can be heard is audible in our head. Its amazing such power should be available within us, and where does it ring speak up? It has to ring within us not outside…all mystics have said to go within to hear that sound. Within what? Go within yourself? Then nature is what is SELF? It is self same unit of consciousness that the Word is creating, making us alive…when we are aware. The short answer is the meaning of going within…into the head and when you say into the head then start real experience of exploring what is inside the head. You find its coming from the centre of your head. Master Ji talked about the 3rd eye centre. Don’t forget human body is just a creation..when we pull our attention…only thing that is given to us is our attention which we can pull from outside to inside. When we do that…whole experience revolves around what is happening there. The longer you can place your attention there…our attention will be withdrawn from this world and the body. We find we have another form. We have become unaware of our body…how come it is still be there…it becomes within that consciousness being. If we go within that we find that form disappears and we are still the self. You can pull this trick 3-4 times and you will know you are the unit of consciousness. While doing this you can find gods all the way. When the physical body disappears you can see the whole world.โYou will eventually find you and the ultimate creator are one and that word created the whole thing and you are a part of it. All our search is mental search as we have no other way to search except through our mind and the mind is merely a machine to a soul. We need something that can pull us beyond the mind…God, Love…that love is not attachment but unconditional love with a human being we call a perfect living master.
42min- Love is the answer all the way, though we don’t believe it. What’s the difference between the pull of love of a PLM and our own effort. One is Grace… it’s as simple as that…and our effort is effort…how to combine each other? Grace made us realise it is more important and that it was all grace in the beginning even the effort we put in was grace. This love of a PLM functions right from the beginning and goes all to ourโtrue home.PLM showers us with his unconditional love. We are very fortunate and blessed…I pause and take a break from here โค
