“The topic is art of Meditation.”
The topic is art of Meditation. I will try to present few ideas from our ancient wisdom and then we will analyze these ideas with your questions and try to internalize with your questions finally we will have a practical meditation technique to practice. Last four days we had four different sessions. Yoga for body, Yoga for inner verbalization, Yoga for our mind, Yoga for our being- spirit, every day we had different topic, different subject, Now I will give you simple presentation some concepts about how our mind works, how we perceive things, how we process information inside our system and how we take decisions, and where we can infuse peace, where we are missing the peace and bliss; where we can infuse peace and bliss.
First thing, Meditation is the greatest gift given to the world by Bharatn Masters. In every country, in every society they have contributed something to the humanity. According to my experience Meditation is a contribution by Bharat, It is a greatest contribution by Bharat Yoga and Meditation. It is the greatest contribution given to the world by our ancient masters.
Let me give a simple diagram how we perceive things. How the information is processed inside our system according to Yoga, then we will analyze these concepts with our questions. First thing, you see something through your eyes, the information which you received through eyes goes to something called Chakshu, in Sanskrit we call it Chakshu ,it is almost like a digital signal processor, the whole file is digitized, the information that you received from eyes is digitized in the chakshu.
Next whole file goes to Chitta; Chitta is the memory, in Chitta elimination happens, the exclusion happens. For example, if you are seeing me, the image you see through the eyes goes to Chakshu, in Chakshu the whole file is digitized, then the file goes to Chitta, in Chitta discrimination happens, this is not animal, this is not a plant, this is not a tree, this is not a mountain, the discrimination is done by Chitta, then the whole file goes to Manas, In Sanskrit we call as Manas, In English it is called is Mind, the Mind does the processing for identifying, Memory - Chitta does the work of this is not, this is not, Manas does the work This is it, This is it, This is it, Mind does identifying, First it says This is Master, Then it says Meditation teacher, whatever your Mind wants to say…that’s is explained through the Mind, the whole file takes a quantum leap, the whole file takes a quantum leap and goes to ego, there you decide what is there for me with this information. For example, you are seeing me through the eyes, the file goes to Chakshu, the whole file is digitized, then it goes to Chitta this is not, this is not, this is not the tree…this is not the animal, then the whole file goes to Manas, then Manas decides this is Master then you start identifying, then the file goes to ego, the ego decides what is there for me with this person, based on the past experiences with the other Meditation teacher or other Masters you decide to sit here or not. You decide based on the past experiences whether you have a good experience or not with some other Master or Meditation teacher you decide let me sit here, this is the place for me, it is for me
If you have a bad experience with some body wearing orange rope then you decide it is not for me I don’t want to sit here then what is there for me, then the command comes back to the mind then the command is executed you start doing what you want to do
One thing in the whole process, if it is not completely conscious or straight as I explained at one point you take different path only from I to Mind, the process is conscious straight explained now. It is straight logical, it is completely logical from I to Mind, there is no problem, but Mind to ego it is unconscious it is not under control. That is why logically if you analyze smoking is injurious to health, according to the information you receive through the senses, according to the process of Chakshu,Chitta, Manas, you know smoking is injurious to health but suddenly you decide to smoke, why if the straight forward conscious process, you know it is not good for health , actually you will drop.
A small story. One guy came to say, one week ago I read a book about negative effects of our being by smoking how it affects our being, after that I stopped. I asked him Oh That is nice you stopped smoking. He said No Master, I stopped reading like these confusing books.
Many times you know what is right, what is wrong, but we are not able to decide with our straight logical data.
The data based on logic if you decide the whole life will be conscious.
The conscious life is what I call spiritual life,Integrated Life, Holistic Life. Many places we do make unconscious decisions. why we make unconscious decisions, when the file makes a quantum life, this area the unconscious zone is filled with lot of samskaras Engraved memories that is the right word for samskaras, these engraved memories decides on their own with out asking our permission.
Logically you know smoking is injurious to health, but suddenly you decide to smoke because of the engraved memories, the engraved memories are so powerful, they can simply pull you inside and you will do the same act again and again.
It has got tremendous power, force over your being. These samskaras are the root cause of many illnesses . At least I can say all psychosomatic illness samskaras are the root cause these samskaras or en-grams are the reason for the stress.
If you see your life the same person same incident will create a different response, different emotions in your being in different times. If you are in good and calm mood, the same incident you will handle in a better way, if you are disturbed even a small incident can make you totally depressed, it is because of the samskaras these en-grams these samskaras plays a major role, for example if you hurt by somebody who was wearing a white cloth, whenever you see a person wearing a white cloth these en-grams automatically play, that is why if you are hurt in a particular place by a person, if you again see the same place even if the person is not there you will have the same low mood, you will project the same mood.
The serious decisions are impacted by these samskaras. When you take a major decisions, some important things in life these samskaras you don’t even know in which direction you are traveling, especially some deep en-grams, which are recorded in your being continuously are repeated without awareness.
Continuously you take decisions, you repeat them without even your awareness.
Early morning when you brush your teeth, you see you will be repeating some words which is not directly related to your life, not directly your routine. Simply you will be repeating.
When you are taking bath your mind will be repeating some words. I always tell people if you are in the house brushing the teeth you are already in the office. Thinking about your routine. If you are in the office, you are already in the beach having vocation. If you are in the beach enjoying the cool breeze, you will thinking about the office. If you are here you can be sure you are everywhere except here. You almost live like ghost …. Bacause of these en-grams you are continuously repeating something inside your being which are not directly connected to your being, your routine or your life. With unconcouis process, it creates lot of disturbance,….to your mental health. For example when you are in deep fear or in high peak mood of greed …these samskaras gets recorded in your system. A small girl falls in to swing pool or ……that word gets recorded in her system as a samskara she will suffer asthma even if has….Continuously samskaras repeats itself in her being, I have seen hundreds of people like these people suffering, I work with patients we heal through Meditation Last 2 years more than 200000 people had spiritual healing ….I am working with lakhs of people … I tell you from my experience many of the psychosomatic illness has got their roots in samkarss if we can heal these samskaras we can do very big service to the humanity Meditation helps you to come out of the samskaras apart from the physical health the mental level also .. the root cause for the…. Is these samskaras when they are sitting in the unconscious zone, Samskaras
More the samskaras more the fight … If there are only two three persons the file will move quickly and the file will go as it is if there are 300 persons sitting in between everybody will write their opinion by the time the file reaches the last person , the …person will not know what decision to make. He just says some thing. The decision is maked and is executed. More the en-grams, more Samskaras, more the stress! And the process, also takes more time. That is why, many times you will not be able to decide for 10 years, simple decisions we will take for 10 years because more en-grams, more samskaras by the time people decide get married or not already life is over. Many times you can’t decide why because too many en-grams too many samskaras. The process takes too long time so many persons writing their opinions what happen to the file? You will never be able to decide. It becomes complete confusion. Too many en-grams create many psychosomatic illness and confusion in our day-to-day life. Whether it is relationships or it is profession, it will be very difficult to take any decision. Even small decisions look like too big. You feel, that you are not able to get decisions. You will feel unsecured. Continuously, even to take small decision, people are not able to take any change in their lives because of these en-grams. Too many samkaras, you will not be able to move in your life.
The whole courage or the power to move in the life is completely disturbed. The unconscious process or the en-grams is the root cause, single root cause for many of our problems. If we can infuse peace, silence in to this unconscious zone, the whole unconscious zone becomes conscious zone. Because the moment you remove the en-grams, the moment you remove the samkaras, the whole process, will be under your control, will be under your awareness, will be under your consciousness. Only because of the samkaras, the process goes to the unconscious zone. If the samkaras are removed by infusing peace into unconscious zone, the whole thing will come under your awareness. Removing the samkaras, by infusing peace in to the unconscious zone is what I call Meditation, is what I call Meditation.
One more thing, the time taken for the conscious process and the time taken for the unconscious process, only decides whether you are in an instinct level or intellect level or intuition level. If the time taken for the conscious process is more than unconscious process; for example for the unconscious process you take less time, you are at instinct level. Immediately you choose, of course, the file goes very late, because you can’t wait for the file, you just decide some thing. The file never reaches the ego, in between somebody decides. The leader is never given a chance to decide. Simply in between somebody signs the file and passes the order. You start executing it. If the time taken for the unconscious process is less means, you are the instinct level, animal level. If the time taken for the conscious and unconscious process is equal, then we are at the level of intellect, man, human level. If the time taken for the unconscious is more, means we are move peaceful inside our being. We are more silent inside our being. We are more integrated inside our being. We are calm inside our being. Means we are at the level of intuition, in the level of God. Animal, Man, God. Instinct, Intellect, Intuition. All these three levels are decided only based on the meditation power. If you can infuse more and more silence in to your unconscious zone, we can move from instinct to intellect, intellect to intuition.
Intuition word, is one more important word, very difficult for logical people to understand, that there is something called intuition exists. A very small example, in more of our meditation camp, one person asked me, ‘Master I get an experience. Like when I am sitting in a party, suddenly I feel that within five minutes, somebody is going to come or something is going to happen. And actually it happens. If I hear a telephone ringing, suddenly, I remember a friend’s name whom I have not seen or remembered for last ten years, I remember his name. When I pick up the phone, he is there at the line. When I hear the doorbell, suddenly I remember, some relative’s name. When I go and open the door, he is standing. He is there. This happens in my life many times Master. How does it happen? Why it happens?’ I asked the whole crowd – ‘How many of you experienced like this at least once in your life?’ She told me one more thing – ‘When I go to some friend’s house, when I go for the first time, suddenly I feel, I have come to the same place already. And I am able to tell, in which room what things are there. And it is exactly there as it is.’ When I asked the group – ‘How many of you have these types of experience at least once in your life?’ One than 80% raised their hands.
Now let us analyze, how many of you had these types of experience at least once in your life? (Master smiles pointing to the response of the crowd ‘Oh!’) See now you should understand, analyze some thing. If it is in one person’s life, once or twice, we can reject it, in the name of coincidence – Oh! It is just a coincidence. We can reject. But when it happens in so many persons’ lives, so many times, how can we reject it, just with a simple word ‘coincidence?’ We can’t reject this just with a simple word ‘coincidence.’ There is some thing more. We can’t use just one word and remove and put this whole thing aside. There is some thing more than our intellect. We need to look in to it. We need to analyze it. Of course, lot of research is being done. I do not know much about other things but one thing is sure, that according to Yoga, I can explain this phenomena. At that moment, fortunately, knowingly or unknowingly, you come to the present moment. When you come to the present moment, you will have the power, energy to see what is going to happen next; almost no confusion. You reach the state where there is no confusion. No en-grams are signing your files. At that moment, for that single moment, on en-grams are signing your file. Your file is straight away reaching the ego without any signature from any samkaras. The whole process is conscious. That is why, suddenly you get, glimpse of intuition. Suddenly you get what is going to happen next. You can stay continuously in that same state by practice. People tell me, even Einstein says in one place – ‘Logic is a servant, and intuition is a gift from higher energy.’ I tell you, intuition is not just gift, you can make it as a salary. If it is a gift, we have to wait. Who will give? When they will give? What time? Whether it will come or not! We don’t know. You can make this as a salary. You can work for it. You can achieve it. You can make it as your life. We can stay in the same state of intuition. Or the same state of ultimate consciousness continuously through meditation.
One more thing, you want to say because it is a very important thing for doctors. Yesterday, I was analyzing this subject – taking the negative energies of patients. Continuously, whether you believe it or not, you are meditating on patients. Continuously, you are contemplating on negativities, the problems of the patients. There was a beautiful research that I was reading that in medical schools, if a particular subject or if they are dealing or teaching about particular disease, for example, head ache or knee pain or back pain, more than 40% of the students show the same symptoms, at the time of teaching. 40%! When you continuously contemplate on some particular disease or symptom, you tend to feel it. Even, you can say when you listen about symptom, you just compare, inside your mind, ‘Do I have that? Do I have it?’ When you contemplate, you try to express or experience the same things in your systems.
Continuously, whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, we are meditating on patients. And whatever things you are receiving, the negative en-grams, or the negative ideas, you are receiving from the patients, straight away goes and settle down in the unconscious zone. It is in the unconscious zone, creating more trouble for us. As if we have less Karmas, as if we have less samkaras! We acquire more and more samkaras, which creates more trouble, more complications in our lives. That is why in Aryurveda and Yoga system, they emphasis, every healer has to meditate to disconnect the Etheric connection from the patients. Every healer has to clean himself, disconnect himself from the Etheric connection of the patients. It is not only for the healers even for doctors. When you are continuously listening to the problems of patients, naturally, you get associated, or you start swallowing all their problems, those negative ideas, negative thoughts. You can see in your life, many times, even after coming back to the house, the mind will be repeating the words, which you heard from the patients. Mind is just continuously repeating the same words, which we heard from the patients. We need to clean ourselves. Please at least take 10 to 15 minutes per day to clean yourself. Just like you come out the hospital, you clean your hands, you take bath, to keep yourself away from the bacteria, same way, you need to mediate and disconnect yourself from the Etheric connections or the negativities, which we are receiving.
We need to keep the quality of our inner space, the unconscious zone, clean and peaceful. It is our responsibility. We give appointment to everybody but we don’t give appointment to ourselves. Please decide, now onwards to give at least 15-20 minutes of appointment to yourself to keep your inner space peaceful, happy and healthy. These are the few concepts, which I wanted to express. Thank you that you all sat and listened.
Now we will take few minutes to analyze these concepts with your questions. We will analyze it. You are welcomed to ask any questions. After the question-answers, we will see a simple practical meditation technique through, which you can keep you inner space peaceful and blissful. You are welcomed to put any questions.
Master – Yes! Woman: Do you believe in next life? Master smiles - Oh! It is too big theory Ma! See, lets bother about this life. I always tell people. People ask me – ‘Master, can you teach me the technique to get the past life memory?’ I tell them – This 30-40 year’s life memory is haunting us. It is making us mad. We are going crazy. Just this 30-40 years of memory! If we have or get 60 or 70 more years of memory, what will happen to us?
A man’s voice from audience – She is here but not here!
Master – I request, better not to bother about these esoteric things of next life, past life, lets bother about his life Ma! We are not able to live happily in this life, then what are we going to do by knowing the past life or the next life? People come and ask me, - ‘Master, please teach me some technique I wanted to do the Vashya of the 18 handed Kali or some big-big Devatas. I wanted to see that Devata. I wanted to have boons from that Devata. I wanted to see.’ They come and ask. I tell them first learn the technique how to live happily with two handed wife, with two handed women. When we are not able to live happily with her, what are we going to do seeing 18 handed women or 18 handed Kali and all these things? So I always tell these people, better drop too much of esoteric things. Lets come to the day-to-day life. Lets make this life more happy, more blissful. Then later on we can see about all those things. And one thing, even if I answer your question, it is waste of your time and waste of so many people’s time. What are we going to do? Next! Yes!
Man: Master, we need to understand how the meditation, how does the healing touch come?
Master: That is a wonderful question. We have seven energy centers inside our system. Of course, all the not only Yoga, according to Hinduism, even according to Yoga according to Buddhism, Tantras, everybody speaks about these seven Chakras. I don’t think, it is exactly the glands, which they speak about, mainly the energy related to gland, the seven glands. May be, some way, through energy level they be relating with the gland. Of course the traditional belief is that these Chakras are only controlling and managing our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual activities. If some of these Chakras are disturbed, we fall sick or get diseases. If we can heal those Chakras, activate those Chakras, through mediation naturally, the diseases disappear. If you can do by your own meditation, it is called self-healing. If you take the help of a master, who meditates, it is called healing.
One question comes here, how can somebody else give energy to us? Of course, in the modern days a lot of researches are done and about this Kirlian photography and all these. They prove very clearly that the energy can be shared. And even if you study deeply Einstein’s theory, he says there is no thing called as matter, in the end. In the end, he speaks almost like a mystic, as Dr. Murali Krishna was saying that he is a Rishi. Einstein is a Rishi. The end of his theory, what he says E=mc2, the same thing is expressed by the Eshavasi Upanishad. Esha Vasyam Eedam Sarvam. Whatever exists is energy. He is almost like a Rishi. At the end he says that there is no such thing as matter and energy separately. So when you can give a matter to somebody, why not energy? All you need is a right technique to share. Of course till we are not able to quantify, how much of energy is shared and all those things, that is the reason, we are not able to give something like across the table. But one thing is sure that energy can be shared. That much I can be sure. How much it can be shared? How better way we can share? Through what techniques? All those things, we have to do little more research. If you do it by yourself, meditating, it is called self-healing. If you take the help of a master, it is called healing. And it is possible from time immoral, in Bharat. Of course, it was practiced and it is in practice. You can see, even in your own villages, go to your villages, you can see, some kids fall sick, they will take the child to the village priest. And the village priest will take Neem (Margosa) leaf and beat the kid with some Mantra, some words, and this kid will cry like anything. Within two-three days, he will become alright. And you can see this as a regular phenomena. It is not that once or twice, some how in Bharat, healing is a regular phenomena, which happens in every village. I can say, Bharat has got at least two-three million healers. Two-three million. In every village, it is a regular thing. There are many villages, people don’t go anywhere else. Somehow, even though we are still yet to come up with a clear cut data, to present the whole phenomena across the table, even though we are not completely able to completely objectify it, completely present in the objective form the whole thing, but there is something behind this whole healing system. That much only I can say. They get so consumed accudntially spead
What about continuous internal Japa technique Japa is a beautiful technique to reduce the power of thinking over your engrams. To make the whole thing in to conscious, Japa is one of the beautiful technique. But there is a danger, when you do Japa it should not become one more un-conscious process. Please do not allow Japa to become one more unconscious process. If it is done with awareness and conciousness then it helps you to come out if engrams.
Put more awareness, more consciousness in to your thought process, you will be liberated If it is unconscious process there is a danger because this itself becomes one more do engram and will continuously will create a fear if you don’t do. Please be very careful because you have tobe conscious.
Where should I keep the awareness? ( QS) When you repeat the mantra see where the word is raising in your being. In your inner space, when you close your eyes you have inner space. In your inner space see where the word is raising, see the root of the word which you are repeating, naturally you will enter the source of Japa, conciousness itself.
Master, where I can feel the vibration?
You can see the source of vibration where the vibration starts, Now we will be doing a small meditation technique to keep our inner space peaceful and blissful. Before that any one question, we can finish the question.
Qs: when you do Japa or mantra most of the time we don’t know what we uttering what we have to do?
No problem, one thing in Sanskrit mantra we don’t even know the meaning what to do. No need for you to know the meaning, if you know the meaning then it is alright. Any word repeated with awareness will silence your mind. I have seen few people will repeat even coca-cola, of course you need to be aware. You can’t just repeat and do something else. Of course one more thing, I just make fun about this coca-cola. Naturally divine names has got its own impact. We can compare coca-cola and Rama Krishna, what I am empassing is awareness. Just to emphasis on the awareness, I made the statement. Truly if you repeat the divine names it has got its own effect, its own thing on your being.
Qs: How to clean the inner space.
Even if you have cleaned the inner space for fifteen minutes or 20 minutes it is enough for next 24 hours. You will have same quality of the inner space for next 24 hours.After few days you will understand it is not even the quantity, it is the quality of how intensely you sit. After few days you don’t even need 15, 20 minutes just 5 mimutes is more than enough After few days you don’t even need 5 minutes, just remembrance swarna is enough. By remembrance you will be able to clean your inner space. You see, this is the scale after you close you eyes your inner space should be peaceful. You should feel a well being, healthy If you understand health is not no-disease ness. No diseseness is just on epart of health, real health is something more than that. If you feel alive, bubling simply ozzing out of the bliss that’s what I call Health. If you feel that mood mood if you close your eyes then your you have reached the inner space reached mediaiation.
Qs. Close your eyes is formal or can we open the eyes.? In the initial level you need to close your eyes after that you don’t need.
Qs: Of course she is asking about the programme about the 2 day Meditation workshop to clean the engrams that is recorded in the system which is already in to our being, which is not …it is now already …she is asking about the programme Of course this programme is offered all over the world by our teachers
Qs: I have this question, but I would like to share my experience for Vasanas what they call as indriyas so that it helps,
Vasanas as dead imprints which don’t have enough imprints to pull you to walk in the same path.But samskaras are alive, they have the power to pull down to make you walk in the same path. So Vasanas are differenet and samkaras are different.
But Maya, it is too big topic Ma, I know after all divine power just to control them, please understand them Ma.
To talk philosophy I can talk philosophy because I am a professional philosopher Ma. I request let some body put some questions, which is useful to everybody Ma. I request
Qs:
For immediate use I can offer this technique which will help. If you are too serious again I have to say that workshop may help you. You can try. Now this is time for us to do small meditation technique .
How much of time we have Ma. I think I will give the instructions, we will do it for few minutes. We will finish the whole thing with in ten minutes.
Let me give the Mediation technique. Four instructions. Tibetan Buddhism this technique is, four instructions. Sitting staright, you can sit in the sofa, chair or any where problem, but your head neck, backbone should be a staright line. Second instruiction is closing the eyes, please understand when I say closing the eyes means I don’t mean just closing the eyes something more has to be done, surely when you open the eyes you see all these things. When you close your eyes you will see all these things in the inner space. That also has to be stopped, how to stop, just for few 30 seconds, or 1 minute create a pressure on the eye ball mentally. Not physically but mentally, just you create a pressure in the eye lids the inner visualization will come down. You can’t do and should not do for more tah 1 minute. This is the second step to disconnect yourself and purify yourself. Please do not do it physically by your hands, please do it mentally.
Third step you can listen to the instruictions the you can do it. Creating a lous humming sound, in your inner space bot allow any thought coming in to your inner space, just create a loud inner space. The sound itself will take care automatically, the sound that you create. Let me show you how….Mmmmmmm…as loudly as possible as intenslely as possible as deeply as possible, just fill your inner space with this vibration, naturally these engrams will put to rest. You will infuse peace in to your unconcous zone, when you do this humming automatically the thoughts will not be there. Do this humming for 20 minutes then after that for 10 minutes be in silence in a relaxed way. Let me repeat the instructions sitting staraight, closing your eyes, third 20 minutes of humming, 4 th 10 minutes of silence sitting. This is the very simple initial level meditation technique I always promote this one technique for beginners because this technique does lot to your being, this technique brings peaceful and blissful. Protect yourself from the negativity from continuously you are receiving from our patients, relav\\tives or friends or anywhere It can protect from the negativities receiving from the outer world and it can heal the samskaras that are already recorded in the system. We can get rid of this engrams. Even though technique is very simple, when you practice you will understand the result. Now we will do it for 3 minutes, 3 minutes, like 3 minutes we will be doing the humming, 2 minutes we will be in silence, so that you will be practice in the house.
Now the group practices Maha Mantra Meditation technique with the Master’s instructions.
