Self Control to control of mind and desirelessness MEDITATION IS ENTIRELY MENTAL PROCESS

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

66. Regarding using one’s will power to curb one’s desire, there are two ways of killing desire and attending desireless: ONE that is generally followed by common folk is to fulfill the desire and get situated. THE OTHER is to create in the Mind indifference to desire by means of Reasoning and self control. Self control would require an effort of one’s will power. The mind is like a restive colt and loves to go where it is forbidden to go. Like a colt, if should be restrained by degrees and not all at once; otherwise it will breaks the restraining chains and fly in the prohibited direction with force.

The master said that one should give up all animal food and alcoholic drink before one is fit to tread the Path which leads to control of mind and desirelessness.

67. You should not think of breathing or paying any heed to it while you are doing SIMRAM, just as you do not think of breathing when you are reading a book. Breathing goes on automatically and requires no attention.

68. A part from the question of taking life egg whether fertile or infertile are exciting food, and for personal who engage in spiritual work, non exciting food is necessary.

69. When you have been able to vacate the body, the disturbing element would be remove and you will be able to get full advantage from sound current, the test of complete concentration is that you should have no consciousness of the body and should be super conscious within.

There is this Important difference: in dream we are the THROAT CENTER, but in Brajan we vacate the body by concentration at the eye center, Love, faith and perseverance is to key to success.

70. As you Know, MEDITATION IS ENTIRELY MENTAL PROCESS, AND POSTURES IN TRADIIONAL YOGA POSITIONS are only aids and not absolutely necessary prerequisites. If bodily infirmity or weakness constantly draws the attention to the lower limbs, it is decidedly better to adopt an easier position and to keep the attention concentrated at the eye center.

71. As your mind learns to remain concentrated at the eye center, this vision may be had at will. However you should not stop here but go on still further so that you may always swim in his love and peace.

Replenish Your ENERGY | much time to meditation

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

53. The foundation of the practice is the ability to withdraw the current of consciousness from the body and hold it at the eye center.

Stilling the mind is achieved only by the degrees as the end is in the habit of going out. Besides the stored impressions of age, in our subconscious mind begin to come to the surface when we begin our meditation. SIMRAM (Repetition of five Holy Names) is the only remedy, repetition is course of time, will solve all these difficulties and also take you to the eye center.

54. as you are able to devote yourself to SIMRAM and MEDITATION, you will find it easier to overcome these obstacles and will also find more pleasure in your meditation.

55. your problem is both physical and mental the FIRST is easily death with, although the physical and mental act and react on each other. A good nourishing diet should replenish your ENERGY and enable you to meet the situation, but to worry is no good.

Most of us seek the truth, but it is not possible to find truth outside. You must seek it within yourself and when you have realized within yourself you will see it everywhere. You have been instructed in this science and explained the technique of “GOING IN” and after you practice the technique diligently, you will make Spiritual Progress and become indifferent to the squabbles of the world.

56. As a rule, concentration become difficult when we have cares and worries, for then the attention stick to the heart center instead of rising up to the Eye Center.

When you sit for your Meditation firmly banish all cares and anxieties for the time being at least and start the Repetition of the five Names while holding the attention in the eye center, with no other thought in your MIND not even the thought of going up or of measuring your progress.

Give as much time to meditation as you conveniently can and do not try to force result. “How do love the Master” Repetition of the Names should be done diligently, at the proper center, to the exclusion of all other thoughts. As you follow the Path with faith in and reliance on the Master, love will also develop. Faith in the Master while resigning our faculties to the best of our know ledge, is the way of developing love.

Spiritual Meditation | The Region of Pure Spirit on Nam

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

43. Happiness comes by going in and contacting Nam because there is no change in the region of Pure spirit on Nam. The phenomenal world is the world of change and the spirit world is the world of Eternal Bliss.

BY CONCENTRATING AND REPETITION OF THE FIVE NAMES YOU HAVE TO WITHDRAW THE CURRENT OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT NOW PERVADES THE ENTIRED BODY, UP TO THE EYE CENTER AND THENCE CATCH THE SOUND CURRENT. If you devote yourself earnestly to this task, you will hardly have much time for other thins, and your desire for over indulgence will automatically vanish. You have tried so many things now try this also in right earnest and see the result.

44. Have a stronger mind than to attribute their troubles to “Evil Influence” of other.

45. I would appreciate your giving proper time to Meditation. think of worldly business even due but also find time for the most important business of life. Out of twenty four hours we are enjoined to devote only two and half hours, and if circumstances be unfavorable and we cannot find two two and one half hours at a time, we are allowed the concession of completing this quota in two or three installments.

Our true mission in life is to withdraw our attention to the Eye Center and Contact Nam and thereby become supermen, but we are not to neglect our worldly duties and should earn our living in a honest manner by following whatever trade or profession we are fit for can take to easily. A life of SPIRITUAL MEDITATION does not mean a life of cloth or haphazard careering we should work with a determined will in both spheres.

46. It may not be possible for you to come here physically, but in thought and spirit you can by devoting yourselves to Repetition of the Holy Names and listening to the source current. The sound current is ubiquitous, pervades everywhere and receives the messages of loving heart those who tune with it feel its presence.

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.

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.
