Video Description: What are we looking for on the spiritual path. What is our aim? We want to know difference between illusion and reality. What is real? What looks real or what is real?
Only way we can say what looks real is by confirmation with our self-perception (example drinking water from glass of water). Is this a good way to test reality because if we were having a dream in a sleepโฆthere we see glass of water there also. There we would do the same thing to confirm its real. How long will it be realโฆuntil we are dreaming, when we wake up there was no glassโฆso what created it? Merely a dream experienceโฆ.calling dream experience into reality as we are not awake.
At least we can wake up from that dream. Now if we go to sleep and dream a glass of waterโฆwe are seeing it because when new are awake we are also seeing glass of water. When we wake up further everything will be there but not how we see it hereโฆis it possible? What would happen if we REALLY woke up to another level? In dream we met a large crowd of peopleโฆ100 people and recognised some in the front and also strangers in the crowd. When we wake upโฆwhat we saw in front row were actually are our friendsโฆwe can see some part of it was more real than other! That brings us to strange concept of realityโฆit is relative! So we are living in a similar state nowโฆif there is a possibility of waking up further. Many of us have dream within a dream. IF we can have that then possibility exists that reality that we know could also be a dream? We can create a reality by simple process of going to sleep and dreaming. It can explain while we dream, we can have a new realityโฆhow many times can we wake up? We have no idea is this dream within a dream 1000s of times. When will we find there is some end to this dreaming process? Based on experience dreaming aloneโฆif we wake up and discover what we are seeing is real is real only to an extent that our cover up on our body has changed. The dream body can jump from height and not get hurt different from this physical body. Dream body can be in Chicago or Milton Keynes (MK was added by author as an example but not stated by Baba Ji) in other momentโฆimpossible for this body. How can that be possible? IF we wake up further, we find same difference there? Carrying this further we could keep on waking up so long as we see lot of people around us in the dream and wakeful state. The number of people we know become less and we see large number of people know few of themโฆsuppose we wake up further now number of people we known only two of usโฆbig startling thingโฆand eventually we find only one dreamerโฆ.how many times we can wake up. If we end up with one dreamer โฆthen same dreamer is again and again then we found the answer.
We all dream every night several times. Its an evitable thingโฆcould it not be inevitable in every state of wakefulness? Probability is we are bound to sleepโฆis it possible to wake up to a state where there is no space and time? Maybe possible but not imaginable. Only when we wake up in that stateโฆwhere could that state be? We donโt know. There is one dreamer alone who is creating many and space and time. There is a method available to check the whole story. What is the method isโฆto induce wakefulness! We can have a way of waking up if someone says (while we sleeping) wake upโฆcan we wake up on our own? Sometimes when dream is horrible. We will find reality gets confined in one state of experience and wakefulness (lucid dreams). Our concept of checking reality is confined to one level of experience. Its amazing how we are restricted on knowing what is real. We will find our sleep pattern of wakeful state is long pattern of several yearsโฆtherefore sleep pattern 8 hours a night 100 years here therefore length of experience we have here gives us conviction this is real. When we dream, we canโt ask someone to wake us up. If we know in dream, we want to wake up as we know itโs a dream how we do wake up. Is it possible here also we are searching? The search we do here appear in sleeping body at higher state of awareness is calling and a friend of ours is closed byโฆa friend can wake up. Is it possible? How can we be sure this has happened? Is it possible same thing can happen here. We are seekers a friend of ours sitting nearby is trying to wake us upโฆmaybe that friend is also a part of a dream. Depending on how awake friend is they can wake up further. If someone has had this experience being woken up by friend repeatedly and discover we are creating reality and reality is only being experienced by sense perception (it only goes to limited state).
What is the meaning of waking up...meaning is change of the state of awareness!
Each level makes a new state of awareness. Question of dreaming within a dreaming has gone long enough till we discover there is only one dreamer. When we talk of spiritual awareness, we are talking of a possibility of a single dreamer waking us up.
We are the dreamers is incorrectโฆitself is the dreamer. SELF is one that is having the experience of. Who is the SELF? Which SELF are we talking ofโฆonly oneSELF with one body, brain etc. is seeing all others? If we dream and seeing a dream, we are seeing it as one-self. Is it possible this pattern is same at all levels of reality? If we have one level of dreamer, we can find it.
There is ONLY one-self.
IF we go step by step one level of wakefulness to other, we will discover means of checking reality is merely a creation is way to experience reality in this way. Sense perception is a body we are wearing like this body. Perception by sense perception is very limitedโฆ. go to the next state of wakefulness you will discover true perception. When we perceive we perceive something our self. Perception has created time and space. If someone nudges and takes us above, we realist perception was created to experience perception. The mind is merely a cover.
Perception was created to have a wonderful experience of space and time.
So, who are we? We are the experiencer of all these things. Who is experiencing this thingโฆfirst time we discover the SELF? The only point we can first stay we discover the SELF-EXPERIENCER. Can we wake up furtherโฆYES!!! Totality is the SELFโฆit is our true home. Any experience we are having is experience of single self. What do we need to have this experience โฆa friend who knows you want to wake up? When we scream seek to get out friend hears. How do we scream? Not with a dream mouth to wake our waking self. We scream within our-self. What does that mean? If we close physical eyes and imagine we are there that is how we do itโฆimagination is the greatest gift, we have. To wake up in the middle is great experience. Baba ji shared we all have potential to waking up in the middleโฆall we need to do is seek inside not outside. Where is this same self-inside us sitting there? Use our brain, thinking power, imagination to locate where am I sitting. Process of elimination is a good tool to do so. He used a really cute way to explain we are right in the middle center of our eyes. Between the ears and behind the eyes is where we feel where we are. The most important pineal gland is right where we are sitting. It is called the Third Eye Centre. Why 3rd eye and not centre? Where is 3rd eye coming from? The two eyes are seeing two different things but we seeing one thing where do they combine? Two images are being seen us at the 3rd eye centre โฆthatโs where we see the world! Even the 3rd eye cannot see anythingโฆthe brain will see a glass of water itโs the mind that sees not the eyes. Mind is created by self and only self can see and experience this world. Self can discover itselfโฆwhat we call awaken person is a clone of our-self. He talked about withdrawal of attention inside our inner room on the sixth floor. In meditation exercise he asks people to pick up mirror and see themselves! Power of imagination shifts us to the inner self. Itโs a tool to do something. If we imagine our self in large space and ask our friend, there also sitting next to you. Whole secret is EXPERIENCE. Every state of wakeful will be at that level.
If we are seeking to wake up friend will be next to you. Seeker and friend are same self! Who is a PLM? Reality is known when friend attaches with you inside and he wakes up when we become a seeker inside. Human mind is keeping us absorbed in external experiences we have no time to seek. We are seeking happiness because we are unhappyโฆwhat we desire we cannot get. We have so many expectations and they donโt happen and become unhappy. Unhappiness is disappointment. Its expectations that cause disappointments and creates unhappiness. We have to expect something to happen!
How can we convert to something elseโฆchange word expect to accept!
If we seek our self our inner realityโฆa perfect living master at that very state, we are. If we are in a dream state, he will appear there. Seeking is the secretโฆseek and you will find J
