Part II / II – V
Meditation
I hope you will continue steadily and lovingly to give time to the spiritual practices with faith and devotion, reposing entirely in the Master-Power overhead. You will have more progress.
The Master-Power is your companion always through thick and thin. So in all of your affairs do whatever you can and leave the rest up to Him, and try not to feel annoyed or discouraged. The Master-Power will be extending all feasible help and protection.
*****
Often times ill health will not permit proper meditations. Such periods intervene in the liquidation of past karma, yet their severity and duration is toned down considerably with the grace of the Master.
You need not be sceptical about your progress and instead be cheerful. You are doing your job and giving regular time to meditation. Each bit laid for the spiritual edifice counts creditably and will stand to your side in the long run.
Karmic liquidation is indeed a chief factor, for which the loving initiates are stressed the importance of disciplined life full of loving humility and piety. You will be blessed with increasing Grace from the Master-Power.
*****
Spiritual inheritance counts greatly for everybody’s inner progress, yet earnest and persistent efforts put in under the protective guidance of the Living Master never go in vain and in due course of time bring in much fruit and that too in abundance. You should know it for certain that everything is being recorded behind the veil, and the gracious Master-Power is fully aware of your innermost aspirations.
The first-hand experience we receive, through the kindness and Grace of a Real Saint is, in itself, the solution to the problem of death.
Unless you are born again you cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
So to be born again is to leave one’s body and to enter into the Beyond from the physical to the astral. Our joy will know no bounds when we come into possession of a secret that has baffled man for so many centuries.
*****
The Divine ambrosia can be had by inversion and not anywhere in the world outside. One can find it only on transcension into the spiritual regions above the physical body.
*****
I am glad that you are lovingly devoted to your holy meditations and are blessed with various colours and lights within. You have failed to state as to what Sound Current you hear.
*****
As God abides within, we must peep inside if we want to meet Him, to experience Him, and to have His blessings. We cannot hear His voice unless we turn away from the turmoil of the world and enter into the deep inner silence of the Soul.
*****
Therefore, I would request you to gaze and gaze longingly in your heart, with silence in your heart, with silence in your soul, and with no thought of this world or the next. The Grace of God will descend on you and the gaze will grow into a glimpse and He will reveal Himself to you and you will find – nay see Him within yourself!
*****
When doing the spiritual practices you should not put any strain on your eyes or forehead, nor should you be conscious of the breathing going on in the body. The Master is greatly pleased when His children progress within. He is always there with initiates and is happy to extend His Grace and blessings to the hearts of receptive children. He wishes all of His children to come up to Him in this lifetime.
*****
With continued spiritual progress toward inner development, outer things become less disturbing. Remember, events come and go. Inner development, as it progresses, will gradually eclipse the physical temptations. One begins to do things in order to carry on with the higher ideal always before him or her, the fulfilment of which becomes an all-absorbing vocation in one’s life. Such things as are conducive to higher progress become joyful.
*****
Fortunate are the chosen few who are made instrumental in the Divine Set-Up.
As an earnest pilgrim we must seek. Meditation leads to God-realization. Fortunate indeed and blessed are they who surrender self to the Will of God. One must be a real seeker after God. All else must be unimportant.
*****
I am sorry to learn of your recent illness, but glad to learn that you are recovering rapidly with the Grace of the Master.
Physical ailments are accidental and come up as a result of the reaction of past karma awaiting liquidation. The disciplined devotees pass through unscathed and come out cheerfully with the grace of the Master.
I am glad you have not lost ground and are once again listening to the holy Sound Current of bells continuously, which are incessantly your constant companion. The Divine Melody is the sustaining power and attuning one’s attention to it within grants infinite bliss and harmony.
*****
Remembrance of the Master, day and night, is very helpful. But giving time regularly to meditation in an accurate way need not be ignored. The spiritual practices are necessary for proceeding on the journey and to become increasingly receptive to the Grace and blessings of the Master.
*****
It is good that you have been initiated. The sacred charged Words conveyed to you are highly efficacious and their Simran with deep faith carries a deep significance.
*****
The inner spiritual experiences are invariably granted to the prospective disciple to start with and these are a hundred percent possible only if the child disciple learns to repose his or her mental chattering and sweetly looks penetratingly into the middle of the eye focus. There should be no clutching on your part and you should follow the instructions enclosed herewith for your guidance.
*****
In the meditations the time that you devote should be exclusively dedicated to the Master. With a loving surrender and relaxation give time regularly to the spiritual practices, with faith and earnestness, which is most essential.
I hope by abiding to these things you will begin to have progress. There is nothing to be disheartened about. When others are progressing on the way with the Grace of the Master, why not you?
To be an initiate is not enough. One has to be devoted regularly to meditation and develop from day to day. Lack of spiritual progress and remaining away from contacts where such inner progress is likely to be nourished, is apt to bring negative attitude under uncongenial influence.
*****
Regular and sincere practice will bring more results from day to day and you will find stars in the sky in due course. You need not worry about any outside problems, I appreciate your attitude of considering the meditation time more important as compared to monetary things.
*****
These Sounds will attract your soul into the Beyond and at times will take you to the presence of the Master within.
Let your home be peaceful as a peaceful home contributes much toward success in the spiritual practices. Even the bees will fly around in a noisy home to disturb the equilibrium of the mind. I am glad you are progressing. I have love for you. Any father will do all in his power to see that his children are at ease.
Regular practices with all love and devotion to the Master will give you splendid progress from day to day.
*****
As regards the opening of the inner vision, it is necessary that you withdraw from the body. And for that you must fix your inner gaze penetratingly into the darkness between and behind the two eyes, with no consciousness of the process going on in the body below, and be quite oblivious of the outward environments. If you adhere to this practice accurately you will see the Light of Heaven within. Master-Power is ever with the devotee extending all feasible help, of which you are now becoming aware. This Power will never leave you. I quite appreciate your love.
*****
When you listen to the Sound you are not to follow it to trace out its source of emanation, as in that way it fades out. You should simply keep on listening at your eye-focus with rapt attention. It will draw close, grow stronger, and ultimately come from above. The Light within should be penetrated lovingly by fixing your inner gaze intently at its centre. It will grow still brighter and burst to give you further way up with the Grace of the Master.
*****
Please be lovingly devoted to your holy meditations with deep faith and sacred earnestness. Master-Power working constantly overhead will be extending all feasible help, grace and protection.
*****
It is possible that you may soon be blessed with the Radiant manifestation of the Master’s Form within a dazzling Light. You should lovingly keep to your Simran earnestly. You have not stated about the holy Sound Current as to what sound you hear inside.
*****
The listening of the Sound Current as coming from the right side is equally important and equal time should be devoted for listening to it. This is the Audible Life Stream and regular devotion to its listening will further bless you with untold peace and serenity.
*****
The intervening dry spells in meditation which the spiritual aspirant finds sometime are a blessing in disguise when the inner devotion is fostered for a higher step. You need not worry about it, but instead be earnestly devoted to your holy meditations with renewed zeal and vigour. The gracious Master-Power will be extending all feasible help, Grace and protection.
*****
You are to relax sweetly at the eye-focus and await with all patience and steadfastness. It does happen sometimes when the initiates grow more intense in desiring one thing or another, such periods of dryness intervene. You need not bother about it.
*****
The five sacred Names are charged and carry the life impulse of the Master. Their repetition with deep faith and single minded devotion will invoke His mercy and blessings.
*****
I am glad you are making progress and the Master within is helping you in every respect. I wish that you may withdraw inside daily and see the Light of Heaven as well as the Light of the Master. Daily regular practice will give you this progress. The only thing to be done is – sit in one position with the inner gaze fixed constantly on the darkness or Light, whichever it may be. The rest is for the Master to do who is overhead extending all feasible help.
*****
As regards voices coming to you, you should pay no heed to them. Please ask the one concerned to appear to you and talk. If he turns up, repeat the five Names. If He stands before repetition, only then listen to His voice. Generally these voices come from the negative power and should not be given any attention.
*****
Be strictly on guard when doing practices. Pranas or breathing is not involved in any way. You should also have no consciousness of the body whatsoever. Master-Power is over your head and will be extending all feasible help.
*****
When you hear a mingling of many sounds within, please try to discriminate which Sound is coming from the right side. The Sound will come nearer and ultimately will come from above and you will hear It much clearer.
