    Introductory Meditation

    Introductory Meditation Instructions

    Sant Mat Mysticism Blog at:
    http://SantMat.Gaia.Com


    The attainment of ultimate spiritual Peace and supreme Joy within oneself is the ultimate goal of the Masters as described by Maharishi Mehi and other great sages. Although this path is not content with meager goals, it is extremely easy to understand and practice. Progress is certain, although, for most, eager and persistent effort is required.




    (Photo Above: Yogani MataJi in Meditation)


    The Living Master of Divine Light and Sound says to his or her students: "I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has felt, and what has never occurred to the human mind.
    "


    Instructions


    These are the introductory meditation instructions taught by Master Kirpal Singh, for new people not yet formally initiated into the Mysteries of the Kingdom within (Surat Shabda Yoga meditation).



    This is a great beginning, a good preparation and transition to Shabda Meditation. I am giving out this to all who come in contact with me, recommending it as a great way to begin meditating right now. NOTE: Meditation practice accompanies a life of Ahimsa: non-violence in thought, word, and deed. Be peaceful on the outside as well as within. "When you learn the methods for inner meditation, you should practice diligently. Moral rectitude is also very essential in this pursuit.
    " (Sant Sevi Ji Paramahans Maharaj)





    "There is Light within a person of Light, and it illuminates the entire cosmos.
    " (Yeshua, Gospel of Saint Thomas)


    "Meditation is the process of withdrawing the attention from the world outside, and focusing it at the seat of the soul in the body, behind and between the eyebrows. This point is known as the inner eye, third eye, the single eye, shiv netra, tisra til, or the divya chakshu. In order to withdraw our attention and focus it on this point, mind must be controlled and stilled.



    "Sit in one pose, and move not your head, limbs or eyes. Sit straight but relaxed with no tension in the body below. Sit still, please.
    To be still does not mean moving."


    His arms sweep inward, hands contracting to the point between his eyes. [Kirpal Singh]





    "Close your eyes as in sleep, and look sweetly, lovingly, intently into the middle of the darkness lying in front of you. You will see a dark veil. That which sees the dark veil within, without the help of your physical eyes, is the inner eye. Do not put any strain on your physical eyes, nor turn them upwards, for that will result in headache or heat. Pay no attention to the breathing process... let it go on naturally.



    "There are two currents working in the body; one of motor-currents or prana or the vital-airs, and the other of surat, or attention, which gives us the sense of feeling. The Saints do not touch the prana currents which govern breathing, circulation of blood, growing of hair and nails. The pranic system of breath-control is the way of yogis and not that of the Saints. The Saints' way is to concentrate surat or attention at the single or third eye while mentally repeating the mantra of five charged names which act as an "open sesame" to the higher planes.



    ["Those who are initiated, repeat the five charged words, one by one, very slowly, mentally, internally, at intervals, so that your inner eye is not disturbed. Those who have not been initiated, just sit in sweet remembrance of God... repeating with the tongue of thought any name of God or Saint which you hold dear."


    (For example: Ram, HU {pronounced "HOOOOO"}, AUM {pronounced "OOOMMM"}, Allah, Yeshua, Radhaswami {RAAA-DHAAAA-SWAAAA-MMMMMEEEEEEEEE}, or some other sacred name)


    "As you look within, you will see a sky, or blue sky: If you look minutely into it, you will find it studded with stars, or you may see pinpoints of Light. If so, try to locate the big star out of them, and fix your whole attention on that. Then you may see the inner sun or moon. If so, focus all your attention into the middle; it will break into pieces, and you will cross it. Beyond you will see the radiant form of the Master or his Master... "





    He continues with the esoteric instructions, until everyone is absorbed.



    "...Become the eye itself. Go on looking constantly without a break.....Any effort on your part stands in the way; let yours be an effortless effort, and you will find that your soul will be withdrawn from the body....."


    Remember, this is the Introductory Meditation, not the full practice learned at the time of Initiation. This is only the beginning.

    Kabir Satsang: Words Can Be Deceiving

    Kabir Satsang: Words Can Be Deceiving

    Sant Mat Mysticism Blog at:
    http://SantMat.Gaia.Com

    Writing in Greek sometime during the Second Century AD probably in Syria, the author of the Gnostic Nag Hammadi book called the Gospel of Philip reflected on the inadequacy of words, how that earthly language rather than being an avenue to mystical Truth, instead can easily end up being for us just another way we are held captive by the powers of illusion:

    'The names of worldly things are utterly deceptive,
    for they turn the heart from what is real to what is unreal.
    Whoever hears the word "god" thinks not of what is real
    but rather of what is unreal. So also with the words "father,"  "son," "holy spirit," "life," "light," "resurrection," "church," and all the rest, people do not think of what is real but of what is unreal, [though] the words refer to what is real. The words that are heard belong to this world. Do not be deceived. If words belonged to the eternal realm,
    they would never be pronounced in this world, nor would
    they designate worldly things. They would refer to what is in the eternal realm.' (The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, Marvin Meyer)

    Below is a satsang discourse about "Words" from one of my favorite books on the teachings of Guru Kabir, and the Sant Dharamdas line of Masters. This is a book from the same lineage that first used the Anurag Sagar of Kabir and other books of the Kabir Sagar (Ocean of Kabir). I believe it also is the same lineage that Sant Dariya Sahib and Sant Tulsi Sahib ultimately connects to, and therefore modern-day Radhasoami and Sant Mat as well. According to the Bijak, Anurag Sagar and other texts of Kabir Panth, Kabir is not only the Adi Guru or founding Sant Satguru of the Path of Sat Purush in this Kali Yuga of time, but also founded the Path during previous yugas or epochs also.

    This book is most definitely on my list of top ten most important wisdom-books for devotees to both own and contemplate. 1008 Kabir Vani is a valuable collection of ethical or ahimsa teachings and admonitions about living a spiritual life in this human form as we cross this ocean of life.

    From, 1008 Kabir Vani, a divine collection of incomparable 1008 nectarous Saakhis collected from the Saakhi Compilation of Satya Purush Sadguru Kabir Saheb, Compiled by Lalchand Doohan Jigyasu, Translated bu Kunwar Anil Kumar, Published by Manoj Publications:

    The Chapter Titled, "Words"

    Introduction

    It is words which form part of didactic preachings. Words and deeds have a special relationship with each other. Words have a meaning only when they are practised in one's deeds. No matter how much we talk about the virtues of truth, love, non-violence and conscience, but these will bear no meaning unless we practise them in our lives. Anything said bearing true knowledge becomes a thing without substance, if not brought into practice. There are many in this world who would be talking big, but there are very few who practise what they say. Such persons tend to be rather didactic by way of singing in praise of God, preachings and spiritual speeches, but they and their audience never practise as preached. There is no improvement in their lives. Why? Because, so long as the words and deeds of the speaker do not harmonize with each other, the preachings will leave no lasting impact on the audience.

    If our own minds are restless and we preach to others to be quiet, if we ourselves speak lies and preach others to cling to truth, if we cause pain to others stealthily and preach non-violence during our speech, it sure will yield no benefits. It will be entirely meaningless. And so, we have to remove the gap between words and deeds; and then only there will be an overall improvement in the life, of everyone. Even if there are no 'words', it wouldn't matter, but performance of sacred deeds in one's life is very important. In this context Kabir Saheb has instructed to practise true knowledge and devotion above articulation of words.

    Kabir Saakhis:

    What is the use of talking wise unless one brings it into practice? Like, a palace made of papers falls within the twinkling of an eye, in the same manner, a person without character, also meets his downfall within no time.

    If what one says is not observed in one's own life, it becomes meaningless. And thus, so many foolish speakers and hearers, led by such ostentatious behaviour, met their doom.

    One should be alert with such impostors whose speech is as sweet as sugar but what they do is as harmful as poison. If one observes what he says, his poison-like deed, too, will be converted into nectar (and such low kind of person, too, becomes praiseworthy).

    Get rid of the ego of delivering speeches only and concentrate on your deeds (duties). A thirsty person's thirst cannot be quenched unless he is given water to drink, i.e. deed is more important than mere speech.

    One led by his ego, feels proud of his speech and says that he allows sweet and beautiful words to come out of his mouth. But such ignorant people do not understand the aspect of devotion (they only make others happy by their speeches).

    Speech, in this world, is considered something very ordinary and deed something great and beneficial. Kabir Saheb says: 'Deed is great and is something which helps one cross the ocean-like world'.

    There are many brave persons who only talk big and keep moving about without bringing down their own speeches into their own lives; this can be likened to moving about with blunt arrows (delivering speeches only). But those, who have been hit by the arrow of devotion, are restless, physically and mentally (i.e. they, instead of delivering speeches, bring down true knowledge for observance in their lives).

    Talking big without observing it in one's own life is like beating husk without rice. This can be likened to shooting false bullet from a gun which produces only sound and does not kill anyone (and so, do what you say).

    Preach to others only when you are in a position to do what you say. It is only then that your audience will listen to your knowledgeable speech and get impressed. It is useless talking big unnecessarily. It is the same as beating husk without rice and getting nothing (time and labour both are wasted).

    One began rhyming and saying Saakhis but his endeavours in this regard remained dry. He does not drink the clean and pure water already drawn from the well; he wants to draw the water himself and drink, i.e. he does not want to observe the sacred knowledge imparted by Saints; he wishes to follow his own wisdom.

    (Pretending oneself to be a poet for honour and status) one composed Saakhis by changing a few words of others' compositions. Kabir Saheb says-'How would one survive by licking someone else's leftovers?' i.e. one shall not be able to survive for long by plagiarizing others' compositions and having no knowledge of his own. It is proper only when one makes a composition with one's own experiences.

    The minds of such people remain restless who are themselves characterless and preach others by reading treatises and other religious books. Kabir Saheb says that such people remain worried about assuaging their hunger.

    One himself does not get water to drink and gives milk to others (one who himself is leading a life of scarcity, how will he provide happiness to others). He himself does not have his mind in his control and tries to bring endurance in others by delivering speeches of wisdom

    The wisdom of those who, without bringing in practice in their own lives, talk big in a cunning manner, may burn into ashes. Even one's knowledge-ability is wasted if it is devoid of devotion (for the stability of true knowledge it is necessary to have devotion and spiritual endeavour).   ////////

    Love, Yearning and Gradual Progress Within

    Love, Yearning and Gradual Progress Within

    Radhasoami Reality:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Radhasoami-Reality
    {Radhaswami Dayal ki Daya Radhaswami Sahai:
    "Grant Merciful Radhasoami Thy Grace and Protection"}

    The mind has forgotten its real Abode ages ago. Having clung to Maya [illusion] and its objects, it act perversely. Unless it is fully purified, the Inner Eye will not be opened. However, elevation of the spirit shall continue in a subtle form. The Path will thus be opened and cleared. When the mind has been completely corrected, and the surat (spirit) has acquired the strength to partake of the bliss of Higher Regions, Radhasoami Dayal [The Merciful Lord of the Soul] will graciously open the Inner Eye to some extent, and vouchsafe sufficient strength. He will augment Prem (love) a great deal. This will accelerate the inner progress of the spirit. Thus the Path will be easily traversed. It is only then the Jiva (soul, spirit) will understand fully the eminence of Sat Purush Radhasoami Dayal, His Shabd and the mode of devotional practices. He will attain Freedom-From-Care, and intense bliss.

    Till such a stage is attained, an Abhyasi Satsangi should go on patiently applying himself to his Abhyas (devotional and meditation practices) with love and faith, and watch his gradual progress. The sign of progress consists in his mind acquiring ever-increasing love for and faith in Radhasoami Dayal, His Shabd and the modes of devotion taught by Him. Conversely, his attachment with the world and its pleasures, his kith and kin, is reduced.


    All Sants, and Soami Ji Maharaj in particular, have, in their Bani [hymns], laid great stress upon engendering love. The idea is that the task can be accomplished quickly and easily with the help of love. Mere renunciation cannot afford so much advantage, nor can mere comprehension of the Faith confer such a benefit. All activities in the world are going on because of love and desire. If one does not have any feeling of love or he has no interest in a matter, he can do nothing. For the real spiritual welfare of their soul, it therefore behoves all Jivas to develop true love for the true Supreme Being.

    -- Huzur Maharaj,


    The surat regularly engages in spiritual practices with patience and calm.

    Cherishing love and yearning within, she comes to the Guru's Abode.

    On hearing Guru's instructions, she feels extremely delighted and daily augments her love for Him.

    Understanding the inner secrets from Guru, she applies her Surat to Shabd.

    By performing Sumiran [repeating God's Name], she undergoes internal purification. In Dhyan, she has Darshan [Vision] of Guru's form.

    Illumination within goes on increasing day by day and Shabd [inner Sound] creates greater and greater tumult.

    She regularly makes spiritual endeavours with patience and calm. She awakens love within her with yearning at heart.

    She hears the Ringing of the Bell, the blowing of the Conch, the beating of the Drum, the tuneful music of the Violin and the melodious note of the Flute.

    Hearing the Sound of the Bin (Harp), she gets intoxicated and reaches the Abode of Sat Purush.

    Relying upon the grace and mercy of Radhasoami, she proceeds further and repairs to her True Home.

    -- Prem Bani Radhaswami, Volume Two
