The Third Eye or Inner Eye

I am glad that you are feeling much better in the way of Spiritual Practices.

Sometimes in meditation one is apt to fall asleep. This comes about when our gaze is not rightly fixed with a full attempt not being made and we see a void. When you are gazing within, you should gaze intently and constantly within the darkness. This alertness will prevent the sleep from overcoming you. It would be better to have a bath or walk just before sitting in the practices so that you may be wide awake.

Bhajan and Simran, if done with accuracy, bring forth quicker results. I see when men are initiated here that they have the experience in the very first day of initiation, and those initiated by me as well as the senior initiates of my Master are progressing wonderfully under proper guidance and help.

As regards the location of the Third Eye:

It is near to the place where the two optic nerves of the physical eyes meet. That Third Eye is the Inner Eye which looks through the two physical eyeballs outside.

At the time of meditation we have to cease looking through the physical eyeballs and fix the Inner Gaze on the darkness behind and betwixt the two eyebrows as stated above. When we close the physical eyes, there is something which sees the darkness within. That which sees may be called the Inner Eye.

As regards hearing the Sound Current:

It would be better if you would reserve the night time for hearing the Sound Current and the morning time for Simran. When hearing the Sound Current do not do Simran but devote full attention to the Inner Ear and hear the Sound coming from the right while sitting with attention at the eye-focus. This will give a clearer Sound.

If time is put in Spiritual Practices regularly in an accurate way as instructed at the time of initiation, the Inner Experiences will increase from day to day. One necessary thing is to keep the pose steady for a longer period of time and keep the Inner Gaze fixed constantly on the Light within. This will insure further progress. Master-Power is overhead and will extend all feasible help.
