Welcome friends for this afternoon session of our 2nd day of our 3day event in Brasilia. I am happy to see my travellers to our true home again. All spiritual seekers are co-travellers. There are many roads to our true home…but the destination is one. While we are travelling together we should concentrate on destination not on the different ways we are taking. If we are spiritual people we should not criticise anybody as all our childern of the same God. If you love God you should love his children also…a lot of tolerance and patience is needed on the spiritual path. If we dislike somebody it makes it difficult to meditate. Hatred and anger is not good for meditation nor is greed or lust or possessiveness or jealously. So we have to purge these things to be on the path to our true home. Meditation is not a one step inside but is also to control our life outside. If our behavior is not good outside it would be difficult to do things outside. I will take up some questions. Question on pets โค It is very unfortunate we treat animals with cruelty…they have same soul like we and they are also God’s creatures. The world is motivated by profit…these industries are interested in making more money…they are exploting every resource they can…they are cutting down trees, killing animals just for sake of money they do all that. This greed leads to punishment later on. We cannot convert everybody in this world…therefore those who are kind of animals and each other are spiritual people. We can try and give our advise but most will not listen to us. We are living in a world which is not our place…this kind of cruelty only exists in this world. Those who have pets at least will take care of the animals but way the industry is treating animals is deplorable. But it appears to be part of realm of punishment and reward. Two powers running this universe- one is positive and other is negative. Cruelty and kindness are also part of duality. We should try to be kind of animals and human beings. In fact teachings of GM says we should be strict vegetarians. It is not necessary to be non-vegetarian to live. So many of people improved their health after becoming vegetarian. Many people think there is no protein in vegetarian food…that is not true. We have several vegetables that have enough protein…one of my friends is actually making vegetarian meat. He makes it out of soya beans. In other cities in India they are doing so with other grains. Killing and eating animals makes it more difficult to meditate that is why I recommend people to have simple food and make it vegetarian. One of my job in India was to be a distrct commissioner in Dharmshala. Because of that job I had an opportunity to meet Holyness Dalai Lama who was a non-vegetarian eating meat. Really good conversation between Master and Dalai Lama.
12min- I tell my friends go into simple vegetarian diet and you will improve your meditation. Some people wrote to me its a miracle how our health improved since becoming vegetarian. I told my friends this is what people say about vegetarian food. So they named their products Miracles Food. It contains better quality of protein than meat provides as it excludes toxins. How long it takes animals to reincarnate? Reincarnation is for all species of life…there are 8.4 million species of life. 5.4 million are in the plant kingdom alone and then all other animals take the last 400K including human beings also. Reincarnation takes place depending on karma and the actions we perform in human life. Sometimes it takes place instantaneously and sometimes it can take several years. When the soul and the mind leaves the physical body it can stay in a disembodied phase for a long time. There are natural and unnatural deaths. Murder, suicide, and accidents are unnatural deaths…here the disembodied spirits stay on for quite a long time…our physical life has a notional and actual life. If someone has a notional life of 80 years…that person is murdered at age of 40…that person’s soul mind and astral body will stay around for 40 years in the physical world. If a person dies naturally without any accident then he moves to the new body almost immediately. In the human body, the preparation for next soul to come is made even before conception. The destiny for next soul to come in a pregnant woman is made before conception. When the pregnant woman feels quickening inside then the soul enters the body. Actual life enters in the 5th month. The unborn child inside a mother begins to know everythign and remembers its past life. When child is born he remembers all past lives…it tries to speak but its a new body and child cannot speak…if you look at the eyes of little child it looks like he knows a lot. Babies start smiling and crying immediately after birth by time they are 1 year old they have forgotten their past lives.
23min- Babies are dreaming they can dream into past lives. The subject of whether human beings reincarnate or not is a controversial one. Many people believe we only come for one life but that doesn’t explain how some can be rich and some poor. If this was only life why puishment being given right from the beginning of this birth. Reincarnation is a very big law and explains almost everything about our destiny. Some people who believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ question reincarnation. Although Jesus Christ himself gave a clear answer to this in the Bible. You can read that incident where a man brought his blind child in front of Lord Jesus. Is my child born blind because of his or my sins? He has no time to commit any sins so why born blind? Why should father’s sin brought upon a newly born child? Lord Jesus replied, it is neither his or his child’s sins that he is blind…it is the law may prevail. Very clear reference to law to control somebody to be born blind. In Indian text it is revealed as law of karma. Life is not just one human life but contiuous life in different form. We can have astral, causal or physical life…karma is a law of action and reaction. Its a law based on cause and effect…if you do bad things you get punished. You do good things you get rewarded. That is why law that prevails in the three worlds controls our destinies. Why certain religions believe only one life there was a reason for that. The reason was from our true home we came here only for one life…we could have gone back after one life. But to create one life under this law there has to be cause to be born. Our destiny is being made at the causal level which needs future and past lives, which we haven’t lived. We are born with a destiny which has a past life which we haven’t lived but it was a cause of this current life. So we really came for one life…that is why there is a religious belief in one life. But with our attachment of desires and worldly things, we got caught up here. Because of our own actions, we created another life and reincarnation becomes a regular feature for us. So it depends on how long it takes what is the period between death and birth in one form to another, it could be instantaneous or take several years. In case of human death, if they die unnaturally (suicide or murder) that person’s disembodied state stays in that region for a long time. That is why we hear of haunted houses. Dead person can see us as in death eyes are sharper than in physical form…many people have asked me our father, mother have died and we miss them very much. They also tell me they feel the father and mother are roaming around in spirit form. I tell my friends they are trying to hold back their parents…if somebody relatives die we should not keep them back but help them go back as early to heaven as possible.
33min- Parents hear who are roaming around…but they try to contact their children but they cannot. And for a long time the place remains haunted with spirits. We should release them and let them go in their way…pray for their well-being wherever they are. People have pets who are so intelligent and they can see things that humans cannot. Human being cannot see disembodied spirits all dogs and cats can see. Dog can remember their old owners and going towards them even when they are dead. If person have been sitting on a particular chair…and comes back…dog can see him. You can see dog sometime whine or wag their tails looking at something you cannot see. These are intelligence given to dogs than humans. Birds can know earth quakes are coming before humans can know. Before sun or moon eciples birds and animals go home before humans realise it. Intelligence given to these animals in a given direction is far more than human beings. Look at a hive of bees…every hive of bees there is a queen mother in the center…there is only one queen in one hive…she give birth to 100s of children…children work hard to make the hive…they make a perfect hive…if you notice the hive holes in it are octagonal…8 sides and each side is equal. The measurement is so equal it is point 0.001 percent error! They have no instruments to work…they have no instruments to measure…there is no way human beings can do that. All the drones in beehive they always turn their face towards the queen…they have a sense of respect for the queen..nobody taught them any manners and yet all these bees will fly back and not show their back to the queen. Huge amount of respect we don’t see in human beings. Who have taught them this skill…their own intelligence. Little ants that crawl on the ground…you place a piece of sugar and ants will come towards it. When I was a child I used to do this experiment…I could put a sugar cube in some place and wait for ants to come. There were no ants around sugar cube..far off ant start coming towards it. I don’t know how they can smell the sugar…when they come they come in a single line and eat a little sugar and carry little on their back. Then they would take some for their house. I would sit and watch for hours…they would take piece of sugar and next ant will take little more and go. Last piece of sugar is taken by last ant…it will tell other so they all depart. The ants coming on the way…doesn’t say maybe he is telling a lie and question him. They completely trusted the person bringing the sugar this is the last piece. I have not seen human beings have the kind of trust that ants have. One of our biggest problem is we cannot trust people. We can learn lessons from ants…I am giving you examples of different animals and insects that they have extraordinary intelligence which human beings lag…so we should treat all animals with kindness โค
45min- When a human reaches God realised i.e. merged in God he goes down to physical form and becomes aware of all levels of the consciousness at the same time. Any human being can do that, very few do. God realised person is not always perfect living master. The person who’s destiny is to be a PLM…it is part of the destiny he comes with. Somebody’s destiny is to become a doctor…all doctors are not teaching medical science. Similarly all God realised souls are not necessarily PLMs. Knowledge of a PLM is same as a God realised person…only extra duty has been placed on the person who becomes a master. A PLM does not decide on his own to become one…just like other events in life it is part of his life to become that. A God realised person lives only in God’s will. A PLM also lives in God’s will. Every step in life of a PLM is guided by God himself. When we live in this world there are two wills- God’s will and mind’s will. God’s will is when we don’t think. Master Ji referred to verse by Rumi.
50min- God’s will also created mind’s will also then how can we follow God’s will…he answered if God’s give you a spade in your hands…he has expressed will to dig. If a pen then write…that means whatever the circumstances are live in those circumstances and then go with the flow. There is mental and intuitive knowledge whereas latter is God’s will, where it acts in us as spiritual will. We all have this spiritual will in us but we don’t use it as we always use mental will because we think too much. We think everything has to be decided by thinking. All of us have had moments we suddenly feel like doing it and mind says don’t do it and we didn’t do it and next day we regret of why we didn’t listen to our heart…some people call it the voice of our heart. We should listen to the voice of the heart as it does not take any time. It comes suddenly and thinking takes time that is why mental will always takes time. To live in God’s will takes no time. So go with the flow of circumstances…whatever comes to your mind first do it then you will be living in God’s will. We are not the mind and mind is our servant and given to us to serve us. We are the soul…we should give instructions to the mind what to do…unfortunately we are taking instructions from the mind. We made our slave our master…use the mind…but don’t get used by it. Just one change in your life alters your whole life. Meditation will help you strengthen your spiritual will. How we know if we are operating with mind or God’s will. God realisation takes you above the mind…therefore such a person does not follow any advice of the mind…therefore is absolutely certain of God’s will as there is no mental thinking involved. Doubt creates fear…God realised a person has no doubts or fears. That is why such a person knows everything is clear. When such people talk there is no maybe or perhaps in their talk because they do not talk from the mind…but talking from the state they are. Anybody who has crossed the mind will do the same thing. There is nothing that gives you greater clarity than meditation and going beyond the mind. Knowledge of the whole creation becomes clear. Everything that is being said by a PLM is actually been said from that moment he is experiencing. PLM does not speak from what he has remembered…he does not speak from learning from books…such a person has no doubt of any kind at all and through meditation, we can all be in that state. You will get more clarity via meditation than any other means. Such a person goes through this destiny for external things like anybody else. He is born like a baby, grows up likc a child, get educated and dies like everybody etc. He is always in peace and happiness…in acceptance and we can all be like that and when a PLM accepts us as his friend…he becomes a friend forever. Other friendships in this life last a short life…a friendship with a PLM lasts forever…he never breaks his word….and once he accepts us as friend he stays our friend even beyond this life. There is no love greater than what a PLM can give us. It is totally unconditional. He has no judgment and always forgives. When you spent time with him you yourself come to know…you will never see him angry and never see him lustful or jealous. There are so many characteristics that change us IF we go beyond the mind. All these problems are by our mind that is why we can know what happens when we become a PLM when we become God realised.
1hr5min- It was said need a contrast of good and bad so we would value heaven home when we get there but good and bad are created from the mind and we will go home with the soul not the mind so why do we need to experience the contrast.
What is soul? The soul is consciousness… consciousness expresses itself as awareness and attention. Ultimate truth is called the totality of consciousness. Consciousness has ability to become aware of anything it becomes conscious of…and that is called creation. Creation is nothing more than conciosuness becoming aware of something it created.
Ishwar Puri Ji
1hr 7min- It is the power of consciousness that creates the contrast. Contrast is not necessary for mental reasons but is part of this creation. The appreciation of consciousness by itselfโtakes place through contrast…but there is no contrast beyond the mind therefore to create a contrast we create a world of contrast. We don’t need the mind to create contrast in true homes but the experience of the mind of contrast is the experience of home. God is in all of us…he is not sitting separately somewhere. We are totality of consciousness but we are not experiencing it. A contrast with our true and created form is only a creation. The contrast disappears when we are in our true home. But the experience of created contrast remains. It is a very subtle state of being…we cannot describe it…because description needs the mind. We are trying to describe something with the mind which is beyond the mind therefore we are making a story of our true home. I am saying let’s go back to our true home but the truth is we never left our true home as we just lost the awareness of us being in our true home and yet kept the awareness within ourselves to find the truth when we like…it is very difficult to describe what is our true home. There is nothing like our true home…this is created for sake of creating an opposite yet it is created within our true home…nothing is ever made outside our true home. Nothing exists outside God. God is total and perfect…nothing is out of it. Then what are we trying to find? That is why its a big game…God’s own game…we have been made into individual souls as a part of that game and all the time trying to say we can personally examine and go inside and see…this is not based on blind faith that is why I urge all you please practise your religion not just talk about it and spend some time inside where the doorway open to your true home. This vast world outside is very temporary…it is like a shadow. Looks real as we wanted to have a contrast… a very interesting game of the many and the one. Many are a show and one is real. Great mystics have been unable to describe…there was a Swami Ji in Agra in India…and his sucesssor Jaimal Singh Ji. Funny and sweet story ๐ We should say less words and more action. Quietly travel in and see what’s going on…talk less, eat less listen more…listen to the voice of God inside…it is coming as the most melodious music. I will end this session in this time and see you tomorrow morning at 10:30am again to conclude our 3-day event here. God Bless You โค
