Its a very telling song because it makes it very clear that we are talking of a living person as a guru…not from a book….who can place his hands on your head…he blesses you. Further it says, if he gives you a hug he cuts your karma. All the 10 Sikh gurus whom we today worship had living masters. If you see face of a PLM your journey ends…therefore we divert from very teachings. I have read this Granth several times beginning to end. Nowhere it says that you could worship a scripture. But sometimes my Sikh friends tell me there is a line which says…that line does not exist at all. If you go into history it was one of Sikh disciples of Guru Govind Sahib added these words and we use them as if they are part of the holy book. We make somebody else read and think we are getting the benefit. We go to the church they take same thing from the Bible and worship even though it could be altered by human beings. The Kingdom of God is within you…all religions you study…I had a chance to study them to understand what they are saying…they all say thing is inside you but somehow we began to believe by reading them we are getting salvation. What we are reading are words (or called Shabd or the same word we are talking of inside). When we read those words we think we are reading what is written in those books and doing what is required. It says reading should be for such a sound that has always been there. Not just John’s Gospel…in Guru Granth Sahib it said the same. Its good to read carefully. Master Ji talked about Televangelists who has a different price for different prayers. They don’t say you pray but we will pray for a fee. Its very important we act upon what we are reading it and follow through with action. Do the simple thing…go within where you will find your own self and your guide inside.

Practise what you are reading.

11min- Old story…I tell same stories again and again…that’s a sign of old age. Yesterday somebody send me clear indication of how you are old 🙂 I want to share story of King Janak…a great seeker. Funny but amazing story. Morale of the story is the attachments we have to our body, wealth and to what we think…all holding us back from enlightenment. If we don’t surrender… surrender is the shortcut to spirituality….to a PLM…you get enlightened. The power of surrender….everything is now being done by the master not you. Your job is then done and finished. What is coming in the way of the shortcut? Why is it difficult to surrender and what can we surrender? We can surrender our body, wealth, and mind what is left? What is left is for us to surrender the surrendered…the ego is still there. We ignore the shortcuts because of our ego but if someone is brave enough…warrior against his own mind he can have a shortcut and need nothing else. The truth is when a PLM comes into your life, he has come to take you home.

28min- He has come to take you back home, period. If you live your life as if everything is part of your meditation, the results will be the same. Meditate is to meditate upon something. If you work and think about your master…you are meditating as effectively as you go into the 3rd eye centre. In sleep you should do repetition for at least 30min before sleeping then you will be meditating all night. The mind keeps up habit of meditating so it can be all-night and day meditation. Meditation is not the same what we think it is…there will be a struggle too much we have given power to our thinking machines as if they are independent of us…when you start making use of the machine by putting meditation into it…then it works in your favour. Mind likes the pleasure of every kind, it seeks a variety of pleasures. If you can give that pleasure inside the meditation mind turns around and becomes the friend of yours.

33min- Q&A session. The difference between a dream and an astral world is dream world is lower state of consciousness and is much real than a wakeful world and astral world is more real. The dream world creates laws of nature which are different from the physical world but they destroy your free will completely with no knowledge of the future. In astral world, although you lose free will you can see the future. Ego is always the same as self is always the same…you might notice when you are awake you may know who you are in dream your face can change, body can change but you are still the same. Chinese philosopher Fa Hein dreamt he was a butterfly. The SELF is exactly the same whether you are awake, dreaming or astral plane etc self will never change. People go through past life regressions and take them back to memory into the area before their birth. Measurement of astral life is based on how far you can remember. You can remember several lifetimes and on average its anything from 1000 to 3000 physical years. Time is very different there than here.

40min- With one mind we can carry many astral and physical life. It has such a long life it carriers sinchit karma in different lifetimes. When we go before a PLM he looks at us…he looks at the entire picture of our journey and acts appropriately according to our life. When we transcend the mind we go beyond. When we sleep we go into a dream body…in that period physical body hasn’t disappeared, when we wake up we reconnect wit the physical body. Same with the mind…when we are able to transcend the mind with meditation….mind doesn’t disappear…we have gone into new regime of consciousness and come back to it again. So nothing really disappears. Egyptians pharos made it well known that they can time-travel and go back and forward. We are all time-travelling all the time. Time is a timeline on the physical world…events have been placed on the timeline. They don’t disappear and neither the future or past has disappeared. What is time as we know it? It consists of past, present and future…without them there is no time. We are all living in the now and now has no time at all. Its a meeting time between future and past. We are experiencing time in now and now has no time. Past is what has gone already…the only way to know the past is via memory. Without memory there is no past. What I am calling the present is merely the recent past. What about the future…supposing our mind cannot 3 functions- hope, fear and anticipation. The truth is future, past and present are also past…only recoverable through memory. We are recalling memory from where Akashic records exist. Its just a little capsule placed in the mind. Time has been created by our memory.

50min- We came for a little trip and got caught up in a strange trap where life is created by cause and effect. This DVD play is not going to our true home at all but for local play here. How can the mind disappear…it doesn’t but time does. We cannot describe anything beyond time as all understanding is via the mind. The mind cannot understand anything in zero time and space. It only functions in time and space and it also creates them! Whole of time and space is created in one single timeless moment..we go through them and that’s how we have those experiences. You can have experience of your true home while in this physical body.

55min- Master Ji talked about different types of minds. If the mind creates reality at different levels, what is real? There is also the subconscious mind- its a storage of what is forgotten. Something we try to forget the lie in the upper level of subcious mind and causing problems in our daily life…it is that which we are not conscious of. The total mind is storehouse of memories which can be awakened. The best way to surrender all circumstances to the master is to do enough meditation…to be able to see the inner master…have a discussion with him inside. I want to share a personal experience (normally I don’t like to)…I heard one of the discourses of one of my masters and one chanter was chanting from scriptures…the scripture said….this body is a city and there is a city of the marketplace place and we want to have a real deal…do it there. I heard this…I went to GM I said you talked about a bargain going on inside…I said I am ready…deal means I give you something you give me something in return. I will give you all my problems and worries and give me all the joy and happiness in life. His answer was…done. This happened about 70 years ago and since then he kept his word and I kept mine. These deals are possible and nice to reach that point. GM used to say initiation or acceptance by a PLM during the lifetime of a master…master will die and we will also die…do so much meditation that you manifest his inner form while he is still alive and master dies physically he will be more alive and available to us..that’s some kind of urgency on this path. We don’t realise we can get radiant form after he dies (as he manifested himself when he accepted us with invitation) but to be able to see him takes care of doubts and worry of the mind…that’s why its important to meditate enough. No priority to meditate you will never be without the master. Ishwar Ji shared story of Sheikh Qutbuddin and Fareed. You take your meditation to that point inside then relax…all worries are taken away. I went to a church…notice outside it said worrying is praying for failure…I like that. Worrying is about what can happen and most of those things never happen…be happy and don’t worry. I am very happy to see you and I will see you again tomorrow morning at 11’O clock.
