Acceptance Helps the Mind To Calm Down | Ishwar Puri (Part 3 of 5)

Welcome friends to this 2nd day in 3 day event in Brasilia. I mentioned yesterday that we lovers of God must do more than merely read about it. We should pray to God at the right place the temple God created. The real temple is the human body. Human body has been called temple of the living God. No amount of pictures and statues can compare to the living God. Therefore, if you really want to follow the scriptures, you must pray and meditate in the temple God created. To pray in the real temple we have to entre the temple behind the eyes. When we close our eyes and we imagine we are sitting there…we have entered the temple. That place where we operate from in a wakeful state is called the 3rd eye center. When we close our eyes we can actually feel we are sitting there. To make it easy, we can imagine this body to be our house because there are six centres we might call that center as the 6th floor of our house. Different principles work below the eyes but God can be realised above the eyes. If we close our eyes and imagine we are sitting on the 6th floor we can start our meditation. These worldly things will not last forever. But our immortal soul will live forever that is why we should pay more attention to our soul than what is outside. When you want to practise correct meditation do not start meditation until you have established yourself in the 6th floor of the house. People make special arrangements, chairs, cushions that is not helpful. Because when we do so our attention remains in that place so it is now withdrawn to the 3rd eye centre. You must first settle yourself there then start with meditation. You will be able to see many things…what we call imagination is not pure imagination. It comes from the astral plane. It starts you are imagining things but then it can become real…you can hear the voice of God inside. God does not speak in any particular language…he calls you with audible music. Pull of that music is as great as pull of God himself. That is why when you pray and hear music God is responding to your prayer. That is the first response of God that you can hear music inside. Then with the help of a God realised you can move forward and go all the way up to our true heaven. Some people say why should we call upon an outside person when God is inside? No outside person can help us when we are inside. A God realised does not help us from the outside…he helps us from the inside. He has accepted you to go along with you will appear inside when you meditate. It is the inner guide that helps you not the one who is outside. He looks like same person as outside.

11min- Such a person does not say ‘Follow me outside’ he says follow me inside…if you have seen such a person with your own eyes then you can imagine that person inside. You can remember when you see that person that person will become real inside. You can have a conversation inside just like you can have a conversation inside. Unlike other forms of yoga or meditation or practises one we call Surat Shabd Yoga is different.Surat means attention, Shabd means sound, and this yoga is simple, just attach yourself to the sound inside you. Gradually you will hear sound come from the centre which comes from your own soul. The soul creates a feeling of self…if we have no soul we have no feeling of self. The self remains unchanged no matter what the form. When we go to sleep and have a dream, the self in a dream is the same self when we are awake. There was a Chinese philosopher named Fa Hein…fun story:-) When we have a soul we feel as the self. No matter how many bodies we change we will still be the self. When we go to the astral plane…the self is the same. When we reach our true home self will still be the same.When we merge with God and become one, self will still be the same. The only permanent thing in this creation is The Self. If you want to define reality that does not change then self is the only reality. We have to discover ourself if we have to discover God as Self is not separated from God. We can get rid of these bodies and know who the self is.As I mentioned yesterday we don’t have to kill to have experience of death while we are still living. That is the miracle if we do it…its God’s greatest gift to us. God has given this gift so we an go back to our true home. By placing attention we can reach the next form. We have 3 bodies around our soul and ourself…The outer most body is the physical body we are wearing now by putting attention in 3rd eye centre we can become unaware of this body. This is called dying while living. We would know what its actually like and realise body is not ourself. By meditating in the inner body we can even become unaware of our sense perception. Then we go to our 3rd body which is our mind….if we have God realised person

23min- We only realise who he was after we cross the mind. He is also a soul like our soul…except he was operating from beyond the mind. Therefore, with his unconditional love, he could cross us beyond the mind. To go beyond the mind there is no other way other than love and devotion. Soul and God are made up of โค Soul can cross over with the power of love of this God realised person who is operating from there back to our true home. We are all souls part of God…feeling joy and dancing with bliss. Nothing in this universe has that sort of bliss as within God. God is our true home. Soul have not come into this physical world wonder why we are dancing so much. The souls that have never left they ask what is so special about you? Why are you dancing and singing even better than us? We are all souls what is so special about you? Then we tell them you don’t know what you are missing because they have nothing to compare with except what they have there and our soul that have seen this world of pain and pleasure we know what the meaning of bliss in true heaven. At that stage we realise the purpose of this life. There we discover we came into this world so we can appreciate true home better. We don’t leave the body but have experience inside the body…buil into our own head all centres that can move up all the way to our true home. If we can have that experience of our true home here we are guaranteed we will be going there after we physically die. It does not matter what our life has been if we have seen our true home while we are living. For good things we have done we will be rewarded and for bad things we will be punished. This process of punishment and reward keeps ongoing while we are under the mind. Heavens and hells in the astral plane are not our true home. These planes keep us trapped all the time. Either we are born here or are we are in astral plane or suffering otherwise so we don’t get out of suffering. Only we go beyond the astral plane and go to the causal plane we realise its a show going on. This is not real it looks real. It is like a projected movie.

32min- When picture appears we think they are alive and we are wondering what will happen next in the show. Very dramatic show we sit at the edge of our chair to wonder what will happen next. We don’t look behind to see there is a projector projecting that movie. Our mind is focused on the flat screen. If we could turn around we realise everything is already pre-filmed and that what we are seeing is not real. To create a movie on screen we need a film…we need a projector and need light to go through the projector. Our situation in the body is the same. Inside us there is light of our soul..in front of the light there is the projector of the mind. Our destiny is loaded into the mind and projected outside to create this whole world. There is no objective world but a subjective world. If you go to the causal stage you realise mind is a projector. It is loaded with film of our destiny…the whole destiny has been loaded alread and behind that is our soul which is shedding the light. So light of the soul projecting through the mind with film of the destiny create this life for us. These words I am speaking can be verified by anybody by withdrawing attention to the causal plane. In this life also what will happen next but what is going to happen has already happened. We have not seen it therefore we don’t know what’s going to happen…but we are just passing through time to see it. When we are watching a movie we don’t realise what is going to come is already fixed and movie will not change. In India…there was young man who has never been toโ€‚town…he has never seen a movie in a cinema hall and friend took him to there. So he brought his friend to the city and took him to a movie…in the movie a scene is where a girl is about to take a bath outside…as she was taking her clothes this man becomes anxious to see her nude body…but before she could take her clothes off a train passed in the front…by time train went away she was already in the water. This young man went to see this movie 20 times to see the movie…he was hoping one day train will be late. We live our life the same way…train has to come it will come at same day and time as its part of the destiny already loaded in the camera. We live our life with these kinds of anticipations. God realised people these destines are already made up. Therefore, we live a life of acceptance. They accept whatever comes…spiritual advanced people accept whatever comes. Acceptance helps the mind to calm down. It takes away the anxiety and fear that we have. Because if you have a calm mind it is easier to meditate as restless mind cannot meditate. That is why acceptance is a good method to start meditation. When we have knowledge what is going to happen then we don’t try to change it. When we go within our 3rd eye centre we will have experiences of sound and light. Here, sound and light look like two seperate things. After you cross the astral plane you realise they are the same thing. They come from a single resonance which makes sound and light. The inner light and sound does not come separately but from our soul.

44min- In a physical body we can’t even look at the sun. Imagine our own light is more than 16 suns put together. As I said, in this world we see both light and darkness. Every person and object has its own light inside. That is why following this sound we automatically go to this light. If you meditate with me you will see the inner sky which has no darkness. If you can meditate with the inner body you can go to the next level which is the causal plane where the whole sky changes to become golden-orange. If you go beyond the mind there is no time and space we cannot describe the kind of sky. It’s unimaginable how much light there is inside. Our soul itself is made up of light…it is not peace of light but a conscious being looking like light. Being with full knowledge of what’s happening. We have no freedom here. We are bound by the destiny created by a certain body. We are asking for relief from pain, things come within the function of the mind, that is why we do not meet that God realised person. Only when we want to leave everything behind a God realised person comes into our life. Information I am sharing with you are based on teaching of my saint Baba Sawan Singh and whatever he promised he delivered. That is why I found out he is a perfect living master. In this path, there is no place for blind faith. He said only believe what you experience but go within to experience. I promised yesterday about meditation how many of you would like to meditate with me? Okay…we will do basic thing that is to sit behind the eyes. Close your eyes…make your body in a comfortable place…imagine this body is your house…you have a nice beautiful meditation chamber behind the eyes on the 6th floor…sit in the centre of the room behind the eyes…don’t sit too close near the eyes…move backwards to the centre…move so much back that the ears are in side of you. Make sure you are behind the eyes and between the ears. A really good Live meditation session…pray to God where you are sitting in the middle of the head. Say your prayers with love and devotion. Ask forgiveness, express your devotion…remain in the centre…don’t let your thoughts go anywhere…stay at the centre no other thoughts…keep your eyes close till I count 5…1, 2, 3, 4…5…Welcome Back โค

1hr1min- This was the right temple of meditation…God will answer your prayers there. How many of you were able to hear some sound? How many saw some colours or light. Events in life will change…your attitude will change…the more progress you make inside more changes…ultimately you will never be angry. Do not think of outside things when you are praying inside. How many of you found that your mind started thinking of outside things rather than inside…that is the most common diversion…with practice, you will be able to stay without the mind going out. With practice, you can achieve anything…I will tell you a little story…here comes that cute baby elephant story โค

1hr13min- Its just a story to say with practice you can do anything including successful meditation. Some people say we do meditation on weekends…some says when we get free time…it does not help because we lose the momentum. Therefore, meditation and prayers should be done everyday. If you do it early morning your whole day will be good…if you do it before going to sleep your night will be good. If you do every day you keep on getting more and more experience. You will notice as you make progress more light and sound can be heard more coincidences will happen inside your life. You will realise that God is doing it all for you. If you meditate and pray regularly, you will remember God all the time. Everything happen in life will look like God is doing it for you. You don’t have to force yourself to remember God. There are many other benefits of meditation also. I speak about them when I come back in the afternoon and now we will break for lunch and hope you will enjoy lunch for the body…I can only serve you food for the mind but I give you master and God’s blessings and I will see you in the afternoon โค
