As careful as you are when you are in front of me if you truly were there and sitting in front of the television too when you sit then become even more careful and be more alert so, keep mobile phones switched off if there are more people in the house so then tell them that no one should disturb you fo an hour absolutely D N D like the one used outside a room when you stay at a hotel Do Not Disturb, I don't need any service Place a D N D card, so, similarly when you sit to hear Satsang then you should sit alone to hear and place the D N D card If you can, if not, tell verbally to everyone in the family that for the next one hour no one should disturb you and be very careful doing Tratak if you listen then I can hope may be, you might understand what I am saying so sound focusing on sound vibrations and to produce the sound both the things should happen simultaneously, calling out aloud and hearing the sound and the third thing will be to feel it's vibrations in your own body if these three things you can do together then surely, be it children young or elderly all will feel very good and it will be very very satisfying experience if it's a child even 10 minutes are enough, or 15 minute are enough secondly, I suggest with small children always communicate, have some conversation they have many questions so, to answer those questions first you need to listen to me, read the Bhagvad Geeta read Vichaar Chandraodya properly and other small scriptures that I have mentioned scriptures study those keep doing self study of those scriptures, then some day sit with your child it is not necessary that you only talk about school homework it is also possible that you engage in spiritual discussion with your child, like for example how many Gyana Indriya's are there? how many Karma Indriya's do we have? what is Pancha Bhoot (the five elements) What is known as the Bramhaand? or who is an Avatar? so there are many of these things which if you have studied from before, by reading the Geeta then you can tell your child too and know this, honestly your child will respect you even more because with foolish parents no child is happy with intelligent parents, children are very happy, so with kids do some studies do some Mantra chanting, sometimes and then sometimes let them sit alone to practice deep breathing inhaling and exhaling deep stomach contracting and expanding, contracting & expanding of the chest all these experiences only if they sit will they know sometimes, if child is restless then don't make them sit forcefully at this time you must do one more thing then like at present, I was seeing right now some child only has written Daya Nidhey, Daya Nidhey that I put on this keertan and I dance and I feel really good and now this small child is drawn towards Keertan and he likes to dance this too in itself becomes a religious activity and is such a joy if being a human you didn't dance so dancing is very good then what did you do? sometimes with kids sing Keertan and sometimes have fun with kids dance to dance is a type of spiritual practice Pratyaksh Walia (name) who is 14 years of age it's a beautiful name Pratyaksh asks as you told that God can be described as Ek Onkar Sadguru Prasad but my question is that how can one experience this existence please answer my question and Happy Birthday again Thank you very much Pratyaksh! and as for your question, when we say Ek Onkar Sadguru Prasad how can that be experienced? it can be only experienced when you begin by first experiencing who is asking this question? is it your mind? is it your intellect? is it your physical heart? is it you? and if it is you then, who are you ? so until and unless you don't explore your own existence until and unless you don't explore who I am and from where this I has originated? and what is the form of this I? and who this I is you cannot experience what Ek Onkar Sadguru Prasad this existence would be let's say when you visit somebody's home say your friend is fast asleep in his bed and you go there in the room and you sit on a chair by the bedside you don't wake him up just sit there and somebody serves you tea, snacks and water and everything, and you sip tea and you drink your tea and enjoy your snacks but your friend is sleeping, so you spend a good one hour with the friend and then you just come out of the room and go back to your house will your friend know that you came? or should I say is this a way to go to anybody's home that you don't wake up that person, so nobody will do that surely, first you will ask the person where the person is, if sleeping then you will wake that person up even if it means to pull your friend leg and kick him out of the bed, you will do that so that the person knows that you are there and acknowledges your presence, now let me say our friend called God is visiting you, he is right there with you, but you are sleeping, sleeping in the sleep of ignorance, Avidya Agyana so God is very much present right in you, right with you but you cannot acknowledge why? because you are asleep so it's not about how to experience Ek Onkar it should be how should I wake up from my slumber? until you wake up from your own sleep, you cannot meet this friend this friend called God so God is not a thing who exists somewhere in some distant world and he has to travel and come to us God is not an existence which happens in some specific time only that when that time will come then God will appear, then God will disappear, No! God is that existence which is in the time and beyond the time is like a flicker in the time and beyond the time so the time is like a flicker is like a flicker in that existence time is like an illusion in that existence and you are the one you are the one who are asleep, so you need to wake up so as Raman Maharishi used to say, know thy self just focus on this one question who you are? what is your being? what is your existence, until you know you are, you cannot know what God is and forget about experienecing Chetan or Gur or parsad or Ek Onkar that's the, thats the apathy of all the religious people they believe in the concept of God, without knowing God to believe that God exists and then they have used the imagination or the terminology given by somebody else God is like this, this this, God has this name this name this name, God speaks Arabic or Sanskrit God speaks Hebrew God speaks Punjabi, you know, and then they fight so it's a joke actually in the name of God, it's just a joke going on and some of the Masters have really made fun of it really really made fun of this, very fictitious belief of God which people have, without knowing who you are without knowing the truth everybody thinks they believe in God and everybody has their own Alice in wonderland type of idea about God God will be happy like this God will be angry because of this I have to please God O God! don't punish me O God! I will bribe you with some laddu or prasad or kada prasad or something something and then God will be very happy you say, like that day I was listening to this one person who is very popular, I won't take the name and in that he is saying, go to the temple and ask what you need from Mata (Goddess) and if she doesn't give then fight with the Mata (Goddesss) fight with her and take it it's such a joke what are you speaking but it's not their fault they don't know and so called Bhakti (worship) becomes you know, just a very very flimsy very very superficial belief system which works for some people I am very happy if it works for you but end of the day truth is truth and it is eternal and just a mere fake belief is just going to be a belief and it won't help you at all like I will I like to give one example in this Covid times there are people who say oh I have faith in God, hence I will not wear mask I will not wear mask because I have faith in God there are some relegious places if you go there even if you are wearing a mask they will ask you to remove the mask and they say, don't you have faith in the Guru? Guru will save you, don't wear mask, your mask is a sign of you having no faith in Guru so take your mask off wow! and this is they claim to be religious behaviour I would call it just an ignoramus behaviour there is a story, it's old story, that one man was stuck in a flood whole village just you know left the village rescue team came and they took them all out, but this one person was standing on the roof of his house, whosoever comes in the rescue boat, and asks him oh come on in the boat we will take you and he would say no, no, no I have faith in God, God will come and help me I don't want your help you may go away so this went on for three days and fourth day the water rose more and he drowned and died, when he died this is a story, don't take it literally he appears, in front of God and he fights with God God, why din't you help me, I was waiting for you and you never came God said , well I came more than twenty times, every time in the boat which arrived in the boat which arrived to you, it was me who was coming in that form, every time I came to you and I was pleading will help because you have a come, come, come and you would say, no God will help because you have a crazy idea about God you have a crazy image about the God so you drowned not because of me not providing you any help but it was because of your stupidity your stupidity, your stupidity that God will come in some super, super luminous form and sweep you away from that flood waters so, the first and the foremost step has to be to know who I am and I will suggest you one of my book that's called Atmabodh it's available in Hindi and English, pick your language, start studying it and hopefully you will come to a point where it will be much more clearer to you that why it is so important to know who you are and then comes the second thing about knowing God like a bubble was asking where is water? I want to know water, I want to search water, I want to find water and then that bubble was told why don't you look within and look who you are and bubble started looking within and he found, he was water, so his all search about water ended that day the day he found out who the bubble is! same exactly same is the situation with you also dear Pratyaksh, I hope I have made my point very clear to you Avinash Kumar how to start first step towards Bhagwaan (God) you have already done that and that is by listening to Satsang when you are in Satsang when you listen to Satsang this is already a blessing has happened because without blessing I can say in this In this earth all those people who are living, how many will be fortunate enough to, to happen to meet a A Sant, a Mahatma and be in their association and that Mahatma is speaking to you and making things clear to you, the more you listen and when you are in a Satsang you come to know about your own true self and the day you will find your true self you have found Bhagwaan right there, because your true self and Bhagwaan are not two different entities we humans want and wish Bhagwaan to be separate from us, living up above in the sky the Holy being the super being, sitting on some big throne and pulling our strings and moving us like puppets this is what a common man's idea about god is
