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

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.

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.

Make the Mind Motionless | Bell Sound Comes From the Left Ear

 EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

29. You were initiated about five years ago. An initiate is expected to devote a minimum of two and a half hours every day to his devotions. If you had given so much time daily, even to repetition alone, the mind would have been stilled.

The first step is to make the mind motionless by means of Repetition, with the attention fixed at the eye center. During numerous past births, the mind has acquired the habit of wandering out. It is not still for even a moment. Constant and concerted labor is required for many years to make the mind motionless the mind is still, it cannot go in.

The reason for your inability to go in is not vasectomy, but the lack of regular and continuous practice of repetition. If you want results, you should devote at least two hours daily to repetition. With attention and half an hours to the listening the Sound Currents, regularly. There is no simpler and surer method than this.

Mind is not ordinary power that will easily submit to out control. It rules the world so long as attention is confined within the nine portal of the body, it is out of control. Our control over the mind increase in juxtaposition to the widrawal of the current from the extremities of the body toward the eye center. when the withdrawal is complete and the mind comes under control, the attention is held at the eye center and is able to take full advantage of the Sound Current by rising and riding on it.

30. You should also devote the maximum time that you can, and certainly not less than two and one half hour every day to the spiritual exercise(two hours to repetition of the holy names and one half hour to hearing the internal sound) if you do that regularly and lovingly, the situation will improve.

31. The sound is always there and it is a good thing that the BELL SOUND COMES to you pay attention to it only when it comes from the right ear or the forehead. It should be ignore when it COMES FROM THE LEFT EAR. You should attend to no sound, not even the BELL SOUND when EMANATES FROM THE LEFT.

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

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.

Sphere of Good and Bad Karmas | Astral Plane

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

15. Avery important though ordinarily unknown factor we might call it x in these matters is the influence of one’s past karma and past achievement.

The suffering of good men with involve minds is not inexplicable. They have surely been very good and have done nothing in this lite to merit such suffering, but what about the past about that unknown factor? Only those who “GO IN” sufficiently can see the cause and again, our present life is already determined before we are born. All human being have necessarily to get their SPHERE OF GOOD AND BAD KARMAS for, if their karmas were all good, they would be some where on the ASTRAL PLANE and if wholly bad would be sub human.

16. My only wish is that you try to contact the Radiant Form of the Master within you, so that you may become sure by actual experience of the great truth taught by the master.

19. It is true that there is only one Giver and He gives to whomsoever he likes. THE WIND OF HEAVEN BLOWETH WHERE IT LISTETH. It is equally correct that humility is the true sign of greatness. We have a proverb that the branches of a tree laden with fruit bend low so it is with the true great.

On the one hand there is the cry BACK TO NATURE and on the other, scientific knowledge isolates nutritional factors, prepares them synthetically and make us artificial.

20. The soul is of the same essence as Nam and will enjoy real bliss only when it reaches the region of Nam and become one with Nam. You have been initiated into this mystery. It behoves you, therefore, to travel Path as far as possible for this is the only thing that really matters. But we are not to neglect our worldly duties. With a hearth full of love and faith, devote yourself to the task also discharge your worldly obligations. With this motto as your guiding principle, may the new year bring your success and happiness.

Highest Spiritual Stage of Souls Miracle | Boundary of Brahm

EXCERPTS FROM SARDAR BAHADUR JAGAT SINGH MAHARAJS

Letter to seekers and disciples 1948 – 1951

12. He pays attention only to the things which are necessary and reject the others. Then come a stage in his progress when he has contacted Nam within, and he enjoys the delights. In comparison with that, the worldly pleasure are uninteresting and meaningless and have no appeal for him. He uses the world but is not attracted by it.

13. Many religions take Brahm as the highest SPIRITUAL REGION and the creator of all. Their is quiry is incomplete and limited. BRAHM is not the maker of all creation. His creation and rulership extend to the SECOND STAGE ONLY, and herein also he can neither create nor destroy souls. All that he does it to keep the soul confined within his domain by putting them in Physical, astral and mental bodies, frames or cage. He thereby makes them forget their origin or home, which is in the FIFTH STAGE. Transmigration according to the law of karma is the system of his government Birth and decay, and the dualism of good and evil pleasure and pain are the order of his domain.

Through the agency of revealed books prophets and incarnations he makes himself known as the HIGHEST SPIRITUAL STAGE of development and the maker of all creation, and his law as infallible.

To compound people and to entangle them in the karmic complications, nothing beats meat eating and the use of intoxicants particularly alcohol, and nothing appeals to people faster than a show of MIRACLE. The lower the stage of the prophet, the greater the freedom allowed in the use of this things.

The work of saint is to free the SOULS, which their spiritual home of Eternal Bliss. The saints positively prohibit the use of meat and liquor, and they also discourage the performance of MIRACLE, as the is against the law of Nature, these three acts are strong barriers par excellence, which stand in the way of crossing the BOUNDARY OF BRAHM.

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.
