EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

61. Radha Swami prescribes a method of practice by which concentration can be brought about “at will” if you want to get the method you should contact a True Master.

62. You should try to focus your attention in the eye center. as concentration develops your soul will have vision of the inner solar system and after crossing it, you may expect to see the astral form of the Master.

Spiritual progress make one indifferent to worldly surrounding and enables one to rise above adverse circumstances. That is the only way. While alive, an initiate is to vacate the body in the same way people do at death, but at will and see what lies beyond. The attention has to be withdrawn from the body and concentrated at the eye center. this is a slow process and is connected with Past Karma. It is a life long process.

63. As you yourself feel, sometimes in the beginning one feel very much elated and filled with a sense of power. Sometimes the attention slips out or down and one has to put in no small effort to bring it back again.

It has been out from the eye center for will not lose its upward tendencies easily.
The pain in the legs and lower part of the body is due to the withdrawal of consciousness. It will not last long but is unavoidable in the beginning if you find it unbearable you may slow the pace. Also do not get up from Brajan at once but gradually, after stroking the legs.

Consciousness is spread through the entire body, RIGHT DOWN TO THE TOES, and is very intimately associated with the body, the separation of this long and intimate association is natural painful but with practice it becomes easy and natural then you will pass through the portals of death and gate of light, into Spiritual Region.

Please do not fear nor worry about faces, however miserable or ill looking that you may see; but go on repeating the Names with love and confidence, and Remember that the protecting power of the Master is always with you. The horrible sight are due to old, may be age long associations and affinities, but are Powerless to exercise any evil influence as long as you take your stand in Nam. They will disappear of themselves.

64. As concentration improves an the consciousness is draw up, The sound Automatically become stronger. In the beginning the emphasis should be on vacating the body.

65. The important thing is to withdraw your ATTENTION FROM OUTWARD OBJECT and turn it within FEELING OF EXHILARATION IS A SIGN OF CONCENTRATION, but the body need not and should be directed TOWARD THE EYE CENTER.

As you learn to hold the attention more steadily, you will be able to see the Master within more clearly and in great detail.

Repetition of the Sacred Names | Eye Focus
EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951 

25. The Confusion of MIND and BRAIN is not the result of MEDITATION - it is possible that mind goes out during repetition, and on account of worldly worries and difficulties, the mind does not sick to repetition but confuses the brain by generating external thoughts. It should be kept quiet and peaceful at the time and at least during Meditation. A disciple has to fight with his mind and bring under control by making motionless.

27. CONCENTRATES ON THE REPETITION OF THE SACRED NAMES, with the attention centered at the EYE FOCUS, and when that is complete, the struggle will be won. You need not entertain fear of any trouble, disability or death occurring during Meditation.
Yes the concentration will go on improving if you repeat the holy names lovingly and steady fastly. Short period of meditation of at least one half hour each, in addition to the usual regular periods, are helpful and you may utilize such intervals.

To practice Meditation at a time when stomach is empty and the food has been digested is decidedly better.

You need not talk to other about this path, which is new to you, until you have gained a surer footing and richer experiences. Your life your mental poise and your behavior will automatically impress others, and they will themselves wonder and inquire as to what has brought about the change.

28. MAGIC, SPIRITUALISM AND ALL SUCH PRACTICES ARE ANTAGONISTIC TO RADHA SWAMI PATH. Any one who indulges in them cannot expect to make progress in concentration and meditation. No such person can get initiation unless and until he gives up such pursuits. Also any disciple who wishes to make spiritual progress will have to sever connection with all those who practice black magic, spiritualism and like.

You should go on giving time to your Repetition and Concentration. Them no evil influence can touch you.

Concentrating Your Attention at the Eye Center | PATH OF SHABD

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS
Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951
Concentrating Your Attention at the Eye Center | PATH OF SHABD

21. There is no alternative to CONCENTRATING YOUR ATTENTION AT THE EYE CENTER and then going up with the aid of SHABD or SOUND CURRENT, unless it be wandering about in various form in this phenomenal world. As long as man is tied to himself he is tied to the world. WHEN HE RISES ABOVE THE NINE DOORS OF THE BODY FREES HIMSELF FROM THE BODILY OR SENSE RELATIONS which he will do when he will completely vacate the body and concentrate all his attention at the eye center. He is freed from all ties and the world.
The PATH OF SHABD is the highest and the completest path available to humanity. All other are incomplete in comparison, and its our duty to tread the path firmly and devotedly.

22. The object of satsang is to draw attention to the weaknesses and to uplift the disciples mentally and spiritually. If the disciple does not utilize his opportunites and does not labor on the Path, he will and will come to grief. When in trouble, he will sooner or later turn in a begin his BRAJAN, fate karma, the PRALABDH, also has be gone through. But saints exercise ‘MAUJ’ unfailingly at the time of death. If before that they shower their grace upon own who is still ruled by the pleasures of the sense. So much so that the soul is held fast and cannot rise above them, he cannot profit by the Grace, and the BAYA(Mercy) is also wasted.
When a disciple, wheather initiated in sound or not hears the sound he should look upon it as mark of the Master Grace and try all the more to withdraw his consciousness so that he may hear it better.

23. Whether it is REPETITION OF THE NAME OR MEDITATION AT THE EYE CENTER or attending to the sound within, all three lead the same way and point to the same goal.

24. The SOUL and the MIND CURRENTS which are permeating every pore of the body, should be collected in the EYE CENTER by means of means of REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES. It involves the labor of year to vacate the entire body below the eyes and to collect the attention and hold it at the eye focus. When this is the case, the body below the eyes feels num and senseless but one is conscious within sees the light and hears the sound clearly. Before that the sound is heard but it does not pull the soul. Therefore, the primary object should be vacate the body by means of repetition, and in doing repetition you should not try to hear the sound. That would DIVIDE the attention do not strain your muscles or attention to catch the sound. The sound will come itself and will become clearer as the concentrating grows deeper.
Let all your effort be directed towards increasing the concentration. The master inside and the tries at time to catch our attention by his voice or by giving us glimpses of his Astral form. That is a sign of his Mercy and grace, for by showing himself and by talking to us, the tries to encourage us in our practice.

5. Man is the top of all creation, the perfect handiwork of Nature in all respects. He contains within himself the key to unlock the Mystery of the Universe and to control the creator.

Having come up to the top of the evolutionary ladder, he should now step onto the Ladder of NAM and tread the spiritual path that will untimately lead him to the DIVINE HOME whence he come, if he fails to do so, he slide down and according to his karmas, his desires inclination, he will have to sojourn in this world of change.

In the humand body, the EYE CENTER is the spot which represent the end of one course and the beginning of the other.

6. The first step toward spiritual practice is to undrstand the object of hearing the shabd. The function of shab is to lift the soul upward and inward, to the higher planes. But shabd is unable to lift the soul so long as it is not withdrawn from the entire body and collect in the eye focus. Just as a fine piece of cloth, with entangled in a thorny bust, is torn shreds if one tries to pull it up forcibly, without first disengaging it from each thorn, similarly the SHABD would not lift the soul up so long as it is permeatin every pore of the body, though the sound may be audible.

Therfore, the first step is to withdraw the attention currents from the body up to the point where the sound can lift it this is brought about by concentration of the attention in the eye center, which is possible only when the mind become motionless. There are various methods for making the mind motionless and collecting the attention currents in the eye. But the simplest and the easiest of them all is the REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES prescribed by the saints while the attention is fixed between the eye. In fact it is the mind that does the repeating.

It is not an easy matter to bring the mind under control and make it tranquil and motionless. it requires year of patient labor. When concentration is complete and the soul current have been withdrawn up to the eye center, the attention should be kept up there with the help of DHYAN, which is contemplation of the radiant form of the master.

7. The attention currents should be collected into the EYE FOCUS. The attention should be fixed at the place between and above the eye, where one ordinarily keeps the attention when thinking. The bell sound does not lift the soul until the attention currents from the entire body have been collected in the EYE FOCUS.
