HIDDEN POWERS dormant within the human body

HIDDEN POWERS dormant within the human body

78. There are numerous HIDDEN POWERS dormant within the human body, which can be awakened and mastered gradually, with effort. The human body is a laboratory for spiritual research, and proof can be had by taking the attention current inside. If you can complete your concentration, that is, if you can collect the attention currents(which are permeating the entire body) in the eye focus and can invert your gaze( which means seeing inside rather than outside), you will find that there is intense light within you as are also numberless planes where unceasing music is going on.

The sound current or Audible life stream is inside and can be heard by any one who turns his attention inward. If man invert his hearing faculties, he can hear it. This is a highly technical process and cannot be explained adequately in books.

79. As for concern and symphonic music it is all right. However, the outer music does not feed the soul but only the mind. It is not taboo but it should not distract your attention at the TIME OF BHAJAN. This is the acid test.

Our aim should be to develop and be one with the HEAVENLY MUSIC within.

80. Each soul is like a drop from the great ocean of consciousness. By his “MAUJ”(wave will or Pleasure of the Lord) soul come down and develop or rather degenerate into separate individual entities by contact with MIND AND MATTER.

Spirit is all pervading and when the coverings of MIND AND MATTER are removed it merge in the word.

The soul remains within the cycle of birth and death until contact is made w/ true Master.

TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT | Meditation Technique

TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT | Meditation Technique
EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

39. You should do well to grasp the technical connection between the mind and the body the object of initiation is to enable the disciple to concentrate all his attention and consciousness at the EYE CENTER (THE THINKING CENTER) so that he may be able to contact the shabd, the Divine Melody which is resounding within and with its help, go up and reach the highest spiritual region whence it emanates.

As long as the Mind is attached to outward form and is ruled by sense pleasures, it cannot go up the thinking center. yielding to the sense also weakens the intrinsic power of the mind, for them it has to depend for its pleasure and enjoyment on external objects instead of upon itself. forms change and their pleasures also are short lived, besides occasionally giving one a severe shock. If man were to make himself independent of outward form and seek happiness and enjoyment within, he would grow strong and be able to go in at will then he would shed all his weaknesses and hold the mind and senses in control.

Lust is perhaps the strongest of the five enemies and must fought. Adding fuel to the fire only increase the conflagration and certainly does not extinguish it. I would suggest that you control it consciously. By dwelling upon its harmful effects.

By developing the opposite qualities, i.e. controlled and virtuous life, and realizing the Immense help it gives in Spiritual life

By keeping yourself busy with your duties. When means and circumstances permit, you may marry and settle down, and lead a controlled married life.

40. You now have the technique for meditation and you should find regular time for it everyday. If you cannot sit for TWO AND HALF HOURS AT A TIME YOU SHOULD SIT AS LONG AS YOU CONVENIENTLY CAN AND THEN INCREASE THE PERIOD GRADUALLY. If you pressed too much for time you may divided it into two periods, but it is always preferable to have one long sitting. The important thing is to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.

You should never try to force your views on them but should win them over by your conduct and if you are true to your spiritual duties, it is bound to influence them.

41. Please try to find a better house and, till you get another, try to make yourself as comfortable as you can under the circumstances. One should strive, but without being affected by the results.

42. I may at once tell you that black magic will not touch you if you are true to your pledges as a satsangi and do you Repetition of Names properly. Black Magic affect only weak – willed people. Even non satsangis cannot be affected by it if they posses a strong will.

Troubles and disappointment and even failures do come to us in life. We should face them with a strong will and with faith and confidence in the Master. You have been taught to rise above these distractions. By faith and regular Repetition of the Sacred Names. Similarly, when you fear adverse influences, you should not think of them but of the Master and Nam and try to take your attention to the eye center with quiet Mental Repetition of the Five Holy Names given to you at the time of initiation.

A spirit of Mutual accommodation is far more helpful then cold logic.

The Inner Power | CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH

The Inner Power | CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH
EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

34. Hard work does make one feel tired and sometimes sleepy, for sleep is Nature’s mode of giving rest to the body. At such time it is difficult to MEDITATE PROPERLY, but one keep the thoughts on the Master, i.e. inwardly on the Master and shabd.

Please try to find TIME FOR BHAJAN when your mind is fresh and the body less tired. If you can manage it early morning after you have had you full sleep, is very good. The meditation that you do now is doubly useful, for it will influence the mentality of the child and will plant GOOD SANSKARAS - prenatal impressions – on the child. Your thinking of the Master and reading books, either satsang literature or other good moral books, will have the same effect.

36. The Inner Power is unerring and, if only the disciple has enough faith and love, the response is always there. All things come to him who does his duty and waits in love and faith.

37. PRAN YOG IS AN ARTIFICIAL METHOD. IT AIMS AT CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH. AT DEATH PRAN IS LEFT BEHIND AN WITH IT, THE MEANS OF CONTROLLING THE MIND. It is like putting chains on a bad character, so long as chain are holding him, he behaves all right; but as soon as the chain removed the bad character resumes his old evil ways. Moreover, Pran Yoga involves danger to health and that is also why the Master do not approve of this method. The method of the saint is natural. They want to control and concentrate the mind by means of repetition while the attention is fixed at the eye center. by constant to concentrate and the body being to be vacated from the extremities upward until the whole body becomes numb and all the soul and mind currents are concentrated in the eye center. and when the sound current is contacted, the mind comes under control forever.

No doubt yogis are earnest an sincere, but that does not affect the method they prescribe. The purpose of life is to bring about vacate the entire body. Precisely the same thing happen at death. This is technically knows as “SEPERATING THE ANIMATE FROM THE INANIMATE” the method of repetition should not cause pain anywhere is the body, after the period of meditation. if there is any pain, a doctor should be consulted. You should read all the available literature on this path.

Do not try to catch the sound. Try to bring about concentration by means of repetition. When the concentration grows, the sound will come itself.
The Inner Power | CONTROL OF MIND THROUGH THE CONTROL OF BREATH

38. Meditation is a mental process, and if one can take the attention in at any time, it is easily done. Regularity of the time seclusion and adoption of certain postures are aids to the process of concentration, and are very desirable because the prevent the attention from being distracted. But if it is not possible to keep certain hours, Meditation and concentration may be practice in any posture and at any time which is convenient to you. Likewise Simram or the repetition of the Holy Names can be practice quietly especially when one has leisure.

Material Plane the Highest of Pure Spirit

Material Plane the Highest of Pure Spirit
EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

8. The message of the Master is Natural not artificial. The entire Macrocosm is within the human dody, which is therefore called the Microcosm. The only way to study Macrocosm is through the Microcosm. Th result is that the spiritual journey from the material plane the highest of PURE SPIRIT lies within the human body. It begin from toes of the feet and end at the top of head.

The journey is divided into two parts: the first part is from the feet to the eye center. It consists of concentrating the mind and making the attention currents are withdraw from the entire lower portion of the body into the eye center. The second part is from the eye center to the top of the head. Here the concentrated soul is able to catch the sound current which descends from the top of the head to the eye center. The soul is gradually lifted up from the eye center to the top of the head by means of the SOUND CURRENT.

We pass through five vast plane in the course of this journey. The sound current is one and the same, but in passing through the different regions it assumes different aspects. The Method of the Sound Current is complete while all other courses such as Pranayam, Mudra, etc., are incomplete.

If during our lifetime, we travel the Path which we have to traverse after death, the death loses its terror for us. It is the object and goal of human life to take the soul to the region whenc it originally descended. Thus, the soul is liberated from the cycle of birth and deaths.

9. As you proceed with your MEDITATION you will fell peace and bliss, but it should b a lasting and not a momentary feeling. This will come when you have practiced and devote considerable time to the sound current, sankaras, i.e impression of past lives, enable some people to hear the sound easily, but to hear alone is not enough. You must be one with it your love for the Master and the repetition of the Holy Names enables you to do this.

Nothing should stand in the way of the meditation and no disciple should plunge so deep into worldly affairs as to enable them to interfer with his brajan or after his mental poise.

10. Increase the concntration of your mind, and take your soul to the portal which open into the ASTRAL PLANE, after vacating the entire body. The masters astral form can b contacted at this gata he will talk to you and reply to all your question.

11. The creator Himself is within us, including all that he has created in the material, mental and spiritual regions. As the spiritual drawn up higher and higher, things will be clearer, and the how and why of things also will become intelligible. This world is only a projection of the mental world. And whoever has studied and explored the Mental world, automatically knows the world too, infinitely better.

Such thing are usual with one who goes in but the knowledge or information should not be given out. It is seldom valued properly by others, and you really suffer a loss. Silence is a great virtue.

Spiritual Speaking Human Body Divided Into Two Parts

Spiritual Speaking Human Dody Divided Into Two Parts
EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

1. The enchanting figure is no longer before our eyes. But the master never dies. His radiant Shabd form is within every one of us. He is functioning from the higher planes and is helping his disciples.

2. Spiritual Speaking, the human body may be divided into two parts. One part is from the sole of the feet to the eyes and the other is from the eyes up to the top of the head. The lower part, including the yes, is meant to function in this material world. This is known to common man. But not known to most people is that the upper part is meant to connect the soul and the mind with higher region.
This connection begin at the eye center, after the soul and the mind have vacated the portion by means of repetition, with the attention is to accomplish this. Repetation is not the end in itself, but is the means to an end. The repetation of the five holy names take the mind and the soul to point has been gained, the sound current lifts the soul towards the top of the head, in order to establish connection with the higher planes.

3. Soul is of the Essence of Nam and naturally feel a strong attraction toward its source of origin.
It can be stilled only by drowing the attention inward and upward by means of simram , which collect all the attention current at the eye center. When this course is complete, one is able to contact the shabd. One can hear it earlier also. The Mind find the Shabd so attractive and delightful that it does not crav other pleasure. One should reason with hiself away from outward pleasures as far as possible. You cannot go out and go in at the same time.
Other problems should also be attended to in the spirit of duty, and solve in the light of Personal knowledge and experience and the advice of friends.
Faith and love make things easy, especially when they are supported by regular MEDITATION.
