If We Practice Meditation Long Enough, Satguru Will Appear | Ishwar Puri (Part 5 of 5)

Welcome friends on this 3rd day of this three day program…final day. God is the only truth…and can be found inside ourselves. The method is to meditate behind the eyes after entering the place behind the eyes making your meditation chamber. Use that space behind the eyes as a regular meditation chamber. Go and sit there every morning at least for five minutes to thank God everything has given you โค God has given us this human birth and provided us an opportunity to go back to him. No amount of gratitude would be good enough for this gift. If you keep on saying thank you, thank you all the time it would still not be enough. Anything that happens in your life that you should be happy about thank God for it. When in the meditation chamber, listen to the sound. Follow that sound and light it is on your way to your true home. If you have been initiated by a PLM call of him to appear. Remember when you last saw him in human form…fix his face….that face may come and go for a while…he is not going anywhere our attention is not staying there. When we practise long enough PLM will always be with us and have access to the master at all times. This is the simplest way one can reach God realisation. Our current life is full of distractions…so many of us are stuck with iPhones and computers hence it is difficult to meditate. We need God’s grace even for meditation and for everything. Therefore, when you say your prayers ask for Grace but pray behind the eyes in the meditation chamber. If you do this practice for 6 months your life will change..not only you but your friends will notice โค You will be able to stay in happiness all the time and will see ups and downs of life as a play. This is a practical way to God realisation. A pathway to God is within you…nothing outside can help. Everything outside is perishable you are not perishable. Your own reality is your soul. You have been given the mind to think, speak, to communicate and to make sense of things around you. These are functions of the mind…it does not mean you become the mind. Remember mind is separate from you…today we will do a short exercise to watch your mind separately from yourself and that will help you to know mind is merely another instrument like the physical body. Practical knowledge is different from book knowledge. It is not necessary to change your religion, culture or language…if you follow your own religion..your religion is saying the same thing but we do not devote the real part of the religion but we do not know how to go within that is why we go outside. That is how we made religion into ritual and ceremonies outside. Some of the rituals and ceremonies have a deep meaning but we cannot know the significance unless we go inside. If you merely read books you have to ask other people for questions…if you practise meditation answers will come to you within you. Some answers are not in language but experience and therefore will be unable to convey to others.

11min- These languages are made only for the physical world. In our own kingdom, there is only language of love. When you love somebody, you don’t need any words. We should see the same God is in all of us. Therefore, if we hate somebody we hate God…if you remember this you will always love everybody. Everything is created by the same God. So appreciate everything God has given us and not necessary to criticize anything and is not a useful thing to criticise people or persuade people to your point of view. If an English poem by Alexander Pope is “A Man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” If we try to persuade people they will say yes yes in front of us but when they go away they will still have their own opinion. It is therefore useless to try to persuade people. If you want to give a good example, do it with your own practical life. An example is better than trying to persuade somebody. Teach your children by your own example. If you are a good example of a loving person, the whole world will love you. I did an experiment one time in a small group I advised people to try to be loving for one week. I said try to smile lovingly to every person you meet for one week. After one week we gathered again…and everybody said they had a strange experience. Everybody they met loved them…people had not changed…when we change it appears everybody has changed that is why if you have a good loving attitude you will find everybody has same reaction to you. The experience of love at all times helps in our spiritual journey so be kind and loving to everybody. If somebody has a disagreement, do not try to persuade them. Trying to have a debate and discussion with them is a waste of time and we waste so much time in our lives on these little things. Do not gossip about other people and we enjoy scandalous stories…in our company, we say so-and-so did this etc. That does not solve anything, it only wastes our attention. Attention is a very valuable thing try to keep your attention to God. Think of the creator of what he has done. If possible, speak less and hear more. Some wise man said we have been given one tongue and two ears so we should hear twice of what we speak. It is not necessary to talk ill of anybody before you point finger at anybody you should point a finger at yourself. We should ask for forgiveness to God..we all make mistakes and we know they are mistakes guided by the mind we still make mistakes. There are so many times we say I will never do that again and still do it.

Love is the final language and is the language of our true kingdom within.

22min- Master Ji shared a story of Elk hunters with an important underlying message of us repeating our mistakes again and again. We have to develop a spiritual will to override the mental will. The spiritual will is done by your intuition. Wait for an experience the next day before taking action if your mind creates doubt…spiritual knowledge comes within, it is accompanied by the sign outside. Intuitively we know something inside and a sign appears outside by coincidence. You must practice saying no to your mind…at least 3 or 4 weeks every week what the mind wants say no. If the mind says just one time more say no. You have to say no to the mind to control it. Then we keep on saying yes to the mind we become slaves of the mind. What we think is sin is the advice of the mind. If our mind is under control there will be no sin because we listen to the mind we make mistakes and create sin. You must practice with yourself and not rely upon others’ experiences. He also told me not to say anything which you don’t know personally. What I am sharing with you is not from any books its from the book of my own life. It has been practised what is why I am sharing with you. I cannot tell you to practice something I haven’t practised…that would make me a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is an obstacle on spiritual path. God is watching us at all times…when we tell a lie God watch’s us. Once upon a time there was a story of a mother that would eat too many sweets…child would get some skin issues because of too much sugar. The mother tried to hide the sugar from the child but the greed was child would find the sugar. The child listened to nobody about harmfulness of the sugar…then she found out of a holy man who was very popular with children. Children love that holy man a lot. Whatever that holy man said the children follow. So she took her own child to that holy man and said sir my child is addicted to sugar. He steals the sugar and sweets. Can you tell him to stop eating them? Holy man looked at the child and said come to me after one week. After one week mother took child to the holy man…and holy man said child don’t take sweets and the child stopped taking sweets. The mother was curious why holy man said why to come after one week. So she went back to the holy man and asked why wait for a week? The holy man said when you came to me first I was myself taking sweets…I had to stop taking sweets before I could tell child the same. The holy man said if I did so and took sweets myself child would not listen to me if I am not practising what I am teaching to him. This is a lesson to all of us. This is not effective to say to people you are not practising yourself as they will not listen to you. They will say yes yes but will have the same opinion. That is why to be effective you must practise what you tell. I am saying this to you because many of you in the future will be able to help other people on the spiritual path. 36min- We see lightโ€‚and sounds inside and see new worlds inside…those experiences are to build our spiritual journey. They are not for sharing with other people, and by sharing we lose them because we try to tell them our ego comes in. Our ego separates us from people and God…in the Love of God there should be no ego…we should surrender our ego to God. You should digest those experiences…the more experiences will come…when your cup is full then the overflow you can share. We can think of God’s grace as rain falling…God’s grace comes like rain…our attention is a cup and if our attention is fully on God it will get filled up with love of God but if our cup is turned towards the world it won’t get filled up. If we give littel attention to God and most to World Cup will get only few drops. If you get few drops of God’s grace…and share it with others the cup will become empty. But if your cup is always turned to God it will get filled fast and will always overflow…then you can share the overflow with other people. We don’t tell the heart to beat…we breathe automatically without giving direction…we go about our business without putting attention to it. Keep only 10% attention on worldly things and 90% on God…express your gratitude to God at all times…internal connection with God should never be broken. Nobody has seen God but experienced God. God can be experienced by what is going on our life…that experience is good enough to thank God…so express your gratitude to God at all times. These are simple things to remember for God realisation. Mere prayer and meditation is not enough. When you are doing your job think God is doing it. If you have a PLM as a friend…then thinking of him is the same thing as thinking of God. It is easier to remember God to remember God realised person as we can at least see a person that is God realised. That is why there is a great value of looking at a God realised person as it automatically turns our inner attention to God.

Our whole life should be made into a prayer…if you remember God everytime whatever you are doing you into a prayer. Prayer and meditaiton is a way of life.

45min- It automatically turns our inner attention towards God. Take full advantage of company of such people that everytime you spent time with God realised people you yourself are getting closer to God realisation. I have been sharing these things with you and I hope it will be helpful with your own spiritual journey. If you think they are not helpful then don’t follow them. If you think there is a better way of God realisation, take that. Do me one favor…let me also know that way and I will also follow it. I am open to following any way to God’s realisation…if you are a seeker to God you should be open to any pathway to God’s realisation. Don’t get close-minded…sometimes we are born in a particular religion or culture that binds us to that in blind faith. We should be open to the spiritual path wherever it comes…if we confine ourselves then we miss the opportunity to God’s realisation. Test out by your own experience if what someone is suggesting works or not. Only build your faith on your experience…make it a living faith instead of a blind faith. Living faith grows like all living things. Everyday experiences increase that faith…and that is why we say living faith. Blind faith does not grow at all. Living faith grows every day with more experience. I will tell you a little story… two children were living near a beach (Juhu beach)…fun story โค Story on faith. Faith starts by trust…if we don’t even trust our own experience we can make no progress. We should have faith in our own experiences. There are faith like awakening when we awaken to different experiences which is not physical we should have faith…that way we get more spiritual experiences. I would like to end this session here…and spent a good 3 days with you…I have enjoyed your company…during personal interviews I met some of you…and I am delighted some of you had new experiences in meditation. I know you are very dedicated and that you have love and devotion. I know if you give attention to this subject you will make great progress and you have the same opportunity of God realisation that I or anybody else have. Take advantage of this opportunity in your human life. I would now like to give you what we call parshaad. Parshaad is blessed food…any small item we can eat but we invoke the blessings of saint so when we eat we think of them and we come back on track of the spiritual path. Eating parshaad is a good way of remembering God because it is blessed in the name of God by a saint. I would like to come down personally and hand over individually but at my age and health I hope you don’t mind if you come up to me…so if you can come to me one by one I will give you the parshaad. We will bring the parshaad up here and I will take a chair there….<3 Love you Master Ji.
