Human Being Is An Image of The Creator | Ishwar Puri (Part 5 of 5)

Request has been made to me…if you bare with me I would like to talk in Punjabi/ Hindi for a few minutes. 9min- I went around looking for more masters…there are so many masters…they are of different kind, some are fake who give talk and nothing real behind them…they are running a business. My GM lived on his pension. In my life when I was an infant (1-2 years ago) he would take me to candy shop and buy me wonderful barfi (koya ki barfi) for 1 anna…and he would give me that…I would take each piece so slowly to make it last so long…this happened almost 85-89 years ago. And yet after all those experiences, even after getting initiated doubts kept in my mind. Had I been born in a Christian family I would have been talking of Jesus Christ and so on…I am following because of my parents…interesting thing happened…as soon as I got initiated, which was early as 9th of March 1936. My grand-father took me by my hand to GM who was initiating people. Mostly GM would give half-initiation at that age and after growing up they get the 2nd half. He initiated very small children. We were on kala-baag and group of children sitting here….somebody said can you initiate them…he said yes…they are all seekers…sevadars should we start the process of selection. All got 1/2 initiation…I was watching this. I met one of those children only recently and now he has a white beard…all those people have a great spiritual life. Then we realise in spite of this I had my scepticism around then. GM asked me what kind of initiation do you want…sweet or salty. I had seen this show before…I said I want the one inside…so he laughed…he said neither yes or no. I try to get away but his grip was so strong. He then told me you will get full initiation. I sat and looked at him…and I can never forget his words. What I am going to give you I got from my master Baba Jaimal Singh…I hope it works for you…you don’t have to get something better…please do me one favor when you get something better come back and tell me so I can also take it. I was struck by that…how open that was. After initiation I came home…my father was over-joyed told my mother….some neighbours came…we are so sorry to hear that. Father was surprised and I was listening to their conversation. They said you have trapped your boy at young age where he has no understanding. He will rebel against it as you never gave him a chance to understand for himself. He will not stay with this path at all. Look at the case of Nikki…he was initiated when he was 11years and when he grew up he rebelled against the path. His problem was how I could be happy and he can’t…this has puzzled me for some time. When you give you worries to your master you will always be happy.

22min- Shortly after initiation, I wanted to find something else. So I went around…I got converted got baptised, I got converted to Islam, I did all those things to find something better in religion or spiritual teachings elsewhere…but I could not find anything better than what I got….nor something else couldn’t even describe anything better. It is those teachings I am sharing with you. I have come here to Calgary to share with you the teachings of a master, which worked for me โค I must tell you…I say from what I have experienced not read. I had never read spiritual books in my life till I came to the USA in 1963. Why I had to read books…I came to Harvard University because I began to tell different satsanghis don’t start your meditation unless you first sit behind the eyes. Master Ji got a copy of Spiritual Gems and I went through it all night and marked 16 places where master have said don’t start meditation unless you first sit behind the eyes. When we read a book…how much we understand…we only understand what we already know. Where does a question comes from? You know the answer…because if I give a mumbo jumbo answer you will not agree. So we formulate our question..we have answers hidden when its verbalised it clicks and that is it. All answer are inside you right now. Meditate and you will get the answer. Pull your attention within but we need somebody else to confirm. That is why I am saying I searched all over…I share with you GM teachings because you are all seekers of the same truth that I am seeking and we are all co-travellers. I am very happy to go with as many friends as I can. I say friend welcome..I meant it.

31min- My being here with you is sharing the experience that worked for me…since they worked for me I hope they work for you. I tried everything to see what are the path available but it was nothing more than getting an ou of body experiences, and telepathy, that’s not much…university in Harvard there were two professors who were talking of alternative reality but taking simple drugs (mushrooms). Baba Ramdas changed and Timothy Leary tested mushrooms and experimented with them and they both were expelled. Both died recently. Church of The Boohoo was setup by Timothy Leary. I spent time with these people…they are not getting much…there I had an interesting experience. I met 3 Indian students. I was busy studying and appreciating how good it is to be another country and meeting other satsanghis. Those 3 were having a good time…had a Muzlim friend who believed in having big parties. So one day they told that man we have a guy sitting in our house he doesn’t come to these parties and we are afraid he will tell our family what we have been doing here. He said bring him (Baba Ji) over…I said I am not interested. I don’t drink and I like to sit alone. They tried very hard…I said no…they said what kind of guru you have that you are afraid of meeting some people. That was a big challenge…I said I will go. So I went there. The host said to make sure there is no vegetarian food here, or soft drink here and bring those girls. 2-3 friends sitting near me while host was preparing kebabs etc. These 3 just came from Richard Alfred and Timothy Leary’s group. They began to talk to me about seeing different experiences. I began to join their conversation. I said I don’t do drugs but what you are talking about you can get without drugs. So I began to talk to them…then a few more people gathered. All sat down and whole satsangh started…host said come over but everyone told him to shut up. Then we had vegetarian food. I said do you see what my master can do. I am only saying we can get so many experiences following the teachings of a PLM and world becomes string of coincidences. Every day I see miracles. When things happens against law of probability its a miracle.

41min- I sometimes wonder which is a better body…I say physical rather than astral or casual because you cannot seek in this form you can not only find those forms but see the ultimate truth. Man is made in the image of God…he is formless common thing between us is God has free will and human being has an experience of free will. Only we have experience of making choices and God actually makes it. Therefore, we are very lucky to have a physical body and all we have to do is to seek God within you. If you can do that, you will be taken back. It’s PLM job to come to the seeker. I feel very blessed to be among people who are all images of God. Its a delight to meet co-travellers on the path and I welcome our journey together. Master Ji talked about GM’s talked about carrying a basket of goodies/ blessings at 3AM…old memories like these are how masters play with us. That friendship we cannot find anywhere. IF you have manifested a radiant form of him inside while he is alive….he will always be playing with you. The whole of creation is a big game. This is how PLM have given us a chance. Make meditation priority no. 1. Let ‘s us do one short session of meditation today. Close your eyes and imagine your body is your house where you live and keep your attention behind the eyes on the 6th floor of your house. You can see your hands and feet and its not as dark as you thought. Sit on your chair right in the centre of that room. While sitting there, look around you will see walls around you some dark, some patches of light…how many of you had a flying experience. Imagination is one of the faculties consciousness has provided us and yet its origin is in the astral plane. Ishwar Ji talked about Walt Disney and Disney world and value of imagination. All inventions come from the astral plane as they come from channel of imagination.

52min- Master Ji elaborated on the value of imagination. Path demystifies all experiences. You dream in the very same place you dream…even dream body is always there never left the body. The dream comes when you have a dream…they are all remembered dreams…in 1962 I attended a sleep conference…they would study how people dream…everybody dreams several times and we don’t know…remembered dreams are very few. Rapid eye movement have been used for a long time…they put subject to sleep and as soon as REM starts…we wake up person and ask what they were seeing. From eyes we could relate physical movement. The physical body corresponded with the dream sequences. In sleep you touch your nose when you think you are touching your eyes…because our attention drops down…in a dream state it goes down. These are all experiences are different but not awakening to a higher level of awareness. Practise what you heard here…what you learnt from your own masters…its all inside. In afternoon I will join you for parshaad. It is blessed food. 29th December was a big gathering…there out of 200 people 10-20 were sevadars…and GM go to sevadars personally handover to distribute. We remember time where gathering was small. You cannot see GM as he has died, I can see because he lives with me. For me, it is as good as his blessings therefore I have great respect for my parshaad. Because of my age, I will request if you can come to me to take the parshaad. I will now take up a few questions.

1hr2min- Thanks to Mark who has helped bring my videos all around the world. Many he has streamed live. He has been able to carry GM’s message all over the world and he has done a good job…and I want to thank him for his seva. I also want to thank our host who has worked hard to organise this. I will take up a few questions before lunch. Chose any words that are not words that you use everyday affairs…use words that express love and devotion to whichever God you are worshipping…I would not like to give any common words as each of you have different words from scriptures…they are all good enough (which are not related to everyday life)…good for repeatition till you are initiated. It is not the words that carry the magic…but carries meaning what PLM empowers the words inner experiences that are with the master…as you make progress you find why they were given to you. We are all going through hard-time…if you are initiated by a PLM you have no problem…hand over the struggle to the master…don’t interfere…its easy to pass on struggle to master. If you are used to doing it you will find it very easy…it requires certain amount of faith on master…the other thing is if the question comes when question comes which one to do (A or B) if you have a master….say will take A closer to master or B? Whichever takes you closer to master follow that. If you have no master…then say this problem I can solve this way…what does my Gut feeling say…let me open a book and a book will give you 2-3 words telling you what your gut feeling says….If you are not sure use intuitive awareness than thought-out awareness. Children do what their peers or parents are doing. Don’t try to force vegetarianism on children…be an example to them and let them have their own destiny played out. We all come with our own karma. We can’t interfere too much as that will make them hide things from you rather than do things from what you are saying. Be an example as best as you can. Meditation when the mind is not still enough to listen to simran is of no use. It reminded me of silly joke of parrots.

1hr15min- Master Ji shared another story of a parrot who was captured by a businessman who used to travel from India to Africa for export and import. Really cute story, with morale of the story- dying while living ๐Ÿ™‚ Question on doing meditation 6 hours non-stop or splitting the 6 hours. Key thing is where the attention in during that time. Its not how long you sit but the quality that matters. Its a subtle game where you cannot allow ego to out-grow the meditation…do meditation which you can enjoy. Many years ago I met a friend of mine in San Francisco….he welcomed me..master ji wanted to sleep but he wanted to meditate at 3am in the morning! They woke up…both sat cross legged and both closed our eyes and he started meditation and I started wondering what he is doing. I was more interested in seeing him meditating. This maybe a coincidence every time I open my eyes to see he was looking at his watch. 2.5hrs we went through this torture…he said what a wonderful meditation…I said my friend your meditation was on your watch not on the 3rd eye centre. You can split the time as many times as you like. You must sleep for 30 minutes before going to sleep to make who sleep as meditation. Hours don’t matter however quality of meditation matters.

1hr25min- Whether is predestined. Lot of people come to me and complain about their karma…why complain when they created it themselves. Karma good or bad are a result of their own actions and intentions of the past. It is a debt we have to pay and reward we have to accept for our good actions. But to cry and blame somebody especially when you blame God…you gave it to yourself…in this show we create our own karma with our own minds and we pay with our own minds. That is why karma is our own creation so to ask for leniency….ask were you lenient when you did those things in the past life? Having said that…if one’s karma is so bad… masters do intervene and lighten the karma but the law of karma prevails here therefore masters take upon their own suffering of the person who’s karma they are changing. Masters do intervene…its not merely to relive karma but if it impacts spiritual path they will intervene so you can continue to progress on the spiritual path. How do you get that intervention…by requesting, and praying for it. There was a very good satsanghi of GM who in his previous life committed a murder. He was sent to death sentence and his relatives ran up to him…who asked GM for help. GM said has he filed an appeal…give me the date and time of the appeal…GM said I will approach my master if he can do something. On that day…this is a true story…at 10’O clock the master went to his car… the door banged and his thumb bled…at 10’Oc clock at high court he acquitted the man. Master’s do intervene but remember you are transferring to the master.

1hr35min- Supposing there was no sexual urging…human race will die off. Sexual passion is a natural occurring thing will go no matter what. At certain point in life you won’t be bothered by it…if you are on spiritual path at early age…you will find meditation keeps on going whatever happening in life which is nothing more than a drama. Best thing is if you can get on spiritual path at an early age. If sexual passion pulls you away from your spiritual path then you need to treat it properly. GM’s advise was do lot of exercises, and cold baths…expand your energy on physical exercise and read more spiritual books to occupy your mind to overcome these desires. The best thing is to raise your awareness and focus on love and devotion toward the master. Who says marriage makes you happy? I have never seen that phenomenon. One couple married 3 times…when not married they were happy but after marriage everything changed. Marriage is a great institution of paying off karma. Its even every difficult task for master to change this before marriage ๐Ÿ™‚ In marriage you take everything for granted…its natural. People have changed many spouses…in India it was a rare thing my wife and I were invited in 1962 to Washington DC to friend’s house….they just got married. Funny story.

Marriage they say is made in heaven…I am not sure…the fastest, most wonderful way of paying your karma on whole sale is to get married.

Ishwar Puri Ji

1hr44min- Happiness comes from inside and if you are happy inside not only you will be happy all the time but will make others happy. Happiness is contagious…everybody is happy…except one…your wife.
