Seeking Is the Secret to Going to True Home | Ishwar Puri (Part 3 of 3)

The video started with someone singing for Ishwar Ji. Welcome friends to this 2nd day of this 3 day event in Dubai. I am very happy to see you here…and congratulate you all because you are here because you seek something in your heart for a long time. Seeking is the secret of going to your true home…nothing else is required. If you seek you will find, period. We are here on a temporary basis and we have to go back to our true home after we had share of our experience of the world- physical (matter), astral and causal world of thought…these worlds we have come to and changed our bodies. The way to our true home all saints have said is within ourselves not outside. The real church is in your own body on top of the head. Yesterday I introduced you where the door opens behind our physical eyes in our head. When we sit there we are near the door that opens inside…people try but they try to sit there their mind wanders outside…We are sitting in our attention where our attention is going. To focus inside behind the eyes you must not think of anything outside your head. If you put your attention behind the eyes little space expands to the whole universe. The next step which people don’t follow to go further beyond the astral self is to meditate with the inner body (not just the physical body) therefore they only go one step. Your consciousness’s pure ability to experience love, intuition and bliss true nature of your own self remains hidden inside because we identify with our mind and our attention is outside because we came here to experience what is outside a created universe. These attachments pull us outside again and again with new desires, these are two things keeping us outside. To reverse this inside is very difficult because when we close our eyes it is dark. An arrangement has been made by the creator that in order to be attached inside we should feel strong force inside. One experience created for us which pulls our attention inside pure, unconditional love coming from a human being who is outside and inside. Love does not follow judgment. The pull is coming from a beloved, either outside or inside. Because of nature of love which is a pull by a beloved…he comes outside and inside and real nature of outside is to be present in our experience inside.

10min- More than 100 years ago a famous Swami Vivekananda went to America and made a speech at the World Congress of religion. In that speech he said that I have been telling you for 2-3 days that this world is a maya…if that is so then I must also be an illusion. I am also an illusion but one difference…this person and rest of the world that rest of the world pulls you out and this illusion pulls you inside. That is why these human beings who come as perfect masters in our life come when we are ready and they pull us from inside. Its a pull of your soul…soul is being pulled because pull is from love. There is a real difference in pull of love and attachment. In attachment, you are always conscious of yourself. The beloved replaces your thinking…I spent my whole life studying this and find that attachment is where ‘I’ is strong. That kind of attachment is not called love but business deal. Its like a transaction of something this does not happen when you have true love where your mind is thinking only of the beloved. When we think of master we forget our own self. After sometime we find that pull is so strong we can’t think of anything else and think of him all the time…that is love because there is no I. I don’t know any other experience which can create a suppression of your own I / ego. I is face of our mind…that is why when we constantly think of what I get out of it those are all attachments we create with the mind. The soul can only love. True love when it comes is a different experience than created by attachments…attachment tries to make you seek exclusively to what you are attached… it’s a separation. On the other hand, love is different as you begin to love everybody. We are caught in this world because of our attachments. We have more desires than we have more attachments. Some people say we can practise detachments…I have never seen anybody do so. You can’t detach yourself, trying to detach it sometimes makes you more attached. I went to America to study, and I found dish called pizza ‘Shakey’s Pizza’. The practise detachment never creates detachments but one way in which you can have detachment is you get attached to something else 🙂

21min- Something else must substitute to have detachment. This is one of the main roles of PLMs. GM used to say that there are more teachers than students today. By being pulled by his love, the attachment shifts from outside to inside… automatically we get detached from outside. Pull of unconditional love is very powerful. They have no judgment, it’s always positive and help in creating inner attachments. I know people who used to associate with GM…they did not want to be initiated by him and yet they loved him. The love that pulls us from inside is the secret of going to our true home. Master Ji quoted Bulleh Shah (famous mystic)- only love and devotion take us inside. One has to remember this because in meditation we forget this. I can tell you one story again…real experience…there was a friend of mine Hira Singh lived in Ludhiana in Punjab…amazing story on the value of meditating with Love and Devotion ❤ 🙂

34min- Make master do the meditation inside! Can you join me and enjoy our trips together…it will become real meditation. If you follow our master’s current answer I will check out again after 6 months…so I went back to America and came back and I found he made more progress in 6 months than he did in 40 years. We can’t even give 1hr let alone 2.5hrs…time is not an important factor because if you do so then you are meditating on the time not on your soul in the presence of your master. I was living in India at that time and visiting America and he invited me to stay with him…he was another beautiful Satsangi. He asked me to meditate with him at 3’O clock…we both sat…he also sat next to me…I don’t know if it was a coincidence when I opened my eyes…every time I opened my eyes, he was looking at his watch. Somehow, he looked at the watch and difficult to complete 2.5 hours. After that long torture, we got up, and he said what a wonderful meditation but the only problem my friend was instead of meditating at 3rd eye centre we were meditating on the watch. The other things are mechanical…why do we repeat? For 2 reasons- if you force some words in your thoughts they make it less likely to think of other things…replacement of word of thought with artificial words you’re putting in not to think too much, especially words that have no meaning outside. Master when they initiate us they empower these words to become anti-negative influence…to protect you.

The quality of meditation is far more important than quantity.

Ishwar Puri Ji

40min- This path of Surat Shabd Yoga. If you put your attention on the sound…it will take you to your true home. There are 5 kinds of sounds. Varnatamak (spoken language), dhunatamak (means just a sound), anhad shabd (that has no beginning or end), saarshabd (its a being that creates all being…saar means real), sath shabd (our ultimately creative power is that shabd…you cannot even call it sound anymore!). We get stuck thinking repeating words take us home…no minds in Sackhand so how can spoken words take us there. Its only when sound changes that we move forward. Other thing is we do not go beyond the first region as we keep meditating with this physical body. You must meditate with the inner body. As I said yesterday, we continue our meditation today- it should be meditation with love and devotion. Our body should be in the meditation position (aasana)there are 84 aasana’s described but real purpose is based on simple principle to be comfortable not to be drawn to aches or pains in the body and it should not be so comfortable that you fall asleep. So please position yourself for meditation and close your eyes…how many of you did this for the first time? Very good…this is meditation with love and devotion which Hera Singh forgot to do. We will do one more step and that is meditation with the inner body not with the physical body. This next session I would like you to join me closing the inner eyes…to close that eye inside and then invite the master in that…this body you just experienced is called the astral body because it has no weight but you are able to see, talk physical body was not being used and now don’t even use the inner body and go with that. It just needs practice and try if you can do that…meditate by closing the eyes of the inner body and using 3rd eye centre of the inner body and will give you the experience of still causal plane. Practise makes perfect…

53min- If any of you today feel tired and didn’t want to do it…how many of you didn’t want me to count 5…I am very happy ❤ How many of you could see light, colours…very good. How many could see the face of your master, have a conversation and persuade the master to meditate for you…that’s very easy also. Inside you have access to the master all the time…therefore develop this relationship with the master inside. The words given by him are protection from the negative entities and your own mind. Now if I am being sceptical…its true that because I suggested experience what will happen is that the master will say things which are not part of the suggestion and then you will know you have gone beyond the suggested items. Master can come or you can call upon the master…calling your friend then its not a suggested experience so you have to learn how to differentiate between the two. This is a royal yoga (not hatha yoga)…I tell you another thing a good time to meditate is early morning and have these experiences you will remember whole day and entire day will go very well. These are simple means of course you are using some critics might say your imagination they consider it all unreal…imagination originates from the astral plane. Imagination is part of the experience we are having…inspiration comes from there.

1hr- This was a sample because it was too short of time and you have to practise on your own and if you have problems you should consult your master inside and outside. I wanted to actually these experiences with you but this is a short two day program…those interested in longer session in meditation I do some IMR…Intensive Meditation Retreat. This is my seva to my master…I am very happy that he has given me this service. I see no difference in that seva and this or any seva. It was very good fortune for many of us to do that seva. Seva is of 3 kinds- with body which means help physically, we can carry some stuff master wants us to carry. Another guy mastana ji from Baluchistan carried who basket. Simpler serva with cash donation because dera was run on donation only is also seva these are easy seva..the seva with mind…that means when you meditate donate that meditation as seva to your master. How? Whatever opportunity we get we should do seva. There is an indirect benefit also…it creates some humility in us…a little treatment for our ego…a story Master Ji shared on this about American Colonel who tried to tip $1 to a sevadar for his help. He shared Master Ji of that story how seva helps cure ego. Seva of every kind is good and useful for us in addition to our meditation. I did not come here to tell you anything new but only told you its practical part of your life. We speak so much and do so little. Most of the time we become more verbal people.

1hr9min- I will tell you this human life and its precious and not waste it away. There is nothing real to do outside. If you have experiences which ties you down outside it will be a handicap for meditation. Most problems are not serious but we make them serious. Solve it with two mantra…SO WHAT! We have temporary kind of experiences here but put more attention to things that will last forever inside…change your priorities. Put meditation as a high priority number one. Change your life that is a great opportunity and does not come to many people in this world. Nobody lives forever and during this short period we have an opportunity to go back to our true home. Make spiritual meditation as No. 1 priority even if its only for 5 minutes. These are suggestions I am offering as an old man with experineces of years at least and telling you. We have some parshaad for you and able to bless envoking blessings of my master…you can’t see him as physically he died on 2nd of April 1948 but he did not leave his disciples…he is more with me than he was in physical body. Masters never leave us…for me he never died. I will end this program now and those who are waiting for interviews and personal times I will continue tomorrow morning.
