I said, you in 1970 you had come to Amritsar to Sarita ji's home. Near Shivalay temple you had come home, kirtan took place he had to take two minutes to think. Oho..oh yes yes yes Oh you were also there? Then he felt she doesn't seems that big Were you there? I said yes I said, I was three years old then, I was in mother's lap. You had come to do kirtan there and his uniqueness was that he used to dance very much he was Krishna devotee and he used to dance very much and it used to be part of kirtan where he used to keep a brass bucket, he used to keep in between his knees... he used to dance while standing, while dancing he used to press the bucket with knees like this and like how the Gopi is milking the cow, that acting along with it, very carefree saint. Very carefree, used to do like Gopi is milking the cow and gopi has forgotten and all milk falls down. Like this he used to sing bhajan and dance. When I made him remember all events, then he, he was kind of tensed. I said, see my body was of a three year old child then, now it has grown up, of 22 years so how will you recognize me but in your face, the only difference is that previously your beard was little black now, all of it has become white But he was so happy because he was his very beloved devotee and when he remembered good things so he was very happy. I was there he didn't recognize because the body had changed and do you know sometimes sometimes people of changed births can also be recognized. Whose attention touches the pinnacle of consciousness, for him there is no curtain left. nothing is hidden from the Yogi's vision. Infact the knowledge acquired in previous births that is also remembered. Why? Mind is that only. Done some practice in previous birth still the memory is same, done some pilgrimage in previous birth, still the memory is the same. in previous birth met some saint still the memory is same. That all remain as it is only the physical body changes, mind is same. Unconscious, conscious same... mind doesn't change. But the mind that you have that mostly remains in this state, which one? Semi-conscious. Doing actions with hands, mind is thinking about something else. Watching TV from eyes, mind is thinking something else. Semi-conscious Means neither slept nor remained awake. Awakened but still asleep. And for being in the semi-conscious state for long your body and your breath is spoiled. Eating food in half unconsciousness, that is why how much eaten ... didn't know. What should be eaten that is not remembered. When to sleep, like now you are hearing satsang that... should wake up in the morning. Nice You slept at night, okay I will wake up early in the morning. But when it's morning didn't wake up. Why? Old habit of sub-conscious, there's so much fun in sleeping. And the satsang that was heard, while listening half of the time mind was lost. If you start to listen consciously, note this thing, give attention to this thing which I am saying. The day you start listening completely, consciously while listening enlightenment will happen. There won't be the need to do anything. Listening will be that absolute. There is no thoughts of past, there is no imagination of future, there is no cloud, there is no mist. When mind becomes fog free then the listening becomes complete and when the listening becomes complete only listening can change everything. Your There is problem in your listening also, dear. While listening, laziness comes. Like, you sat straight like this after some time scratched like this, scratched. Why? Because thought of scratching came. Then you thought that I should raise hand. Then how much to scratch and with how much intensity... you also thought that. When you were doing this for that much time, was your listening complete? I am speaking, you are listening. Right. But while listening to my talk when did the mind get lost in old memories, say like this. Leave old memories, You are sitting, listening and suddenly bathroom is coming, where did all the attention go? Bathroom. Will the listening be complete? See the veil is a veil only. Be it a wall in between, then also nothing will be visible, if there is chic curtain (blinds) then also nothing will be visible and if there is thin drapery or thin sheer then also vision decreases a little. To listen you have to have a very conscious mind, no thoughts and total stability of the body, no pain. Now see you are sitting on the floor, at home you don't sit this long, you are sitting here, the back started to hurt, knee started to hurt, where will the mind go? Will the listening be completed? Okay you came here while coming someone said something you burst with anger you burst with annoyance, Quickly so emotional Someone said something heard some news, someone said something, your mind is in anger, you came and sat in the hall, satsang is happening, will listening happen? Won't happen. Listening but sleep came I say this to you... you can't sneeze while keeping eyes open, have you noted this thing? When sneeze comes then eyes, with open eyes no one can sneeze. At one time one thing becomes so overpowering that eyes close automatically, try this. Next time when sneeze comes try not to close the eyes. It will be very amazing experience. Actually you will remember after sneezing. Chances of this will be more. Someone had asked a question about the story of that day that who was the five faced snake who was Protecting the fort of Puranjan? This five faced snake is Prana. The protection of this body fort is done by this Prana. Pran, Apan, Udan, Vayan, Saman, these five sub types of Prana is guiding and guarding your body systems. And when the Prana leaves the body only then death happens, the fort of this body falls. In between conscious and subconscious there is semi-conscious mind and that is why life is passed in unconsciousness. Does not realise, when... turned 75 years old. Will not realise, when... turned 80 years old. and you won't know when you breathed out and then breath didn't go back in. People will keep asking, what had happened? What had happened? What had happened to them ? This body is being run by Prana. Now see to take your semi-conscious mind towards the conscious mind the most powerful medium is Pranayama. The problem is If you do Pranayama attentively, then If doing it semi consciously... nothing will happen. He will just breathe in and out that's it, that's not Pranayama. Pushing air in and out of the body is not Pranayama no.. no.. no.. but if you learn the right way of doing Pranayama, which is not possible if you don't have a yogic body so meaning doing asanas become primarily important. Pranayama will help you in being conscious Since you are sitting, breathing is taking place, it doesn't stop. or you tell me Was your attention on breathe for so long ? Were you aware that breathing is happening, No When I say conscious mind is functioning, it only happens when you sit with your closed eyes and you are fairly attentive and then I have to say come back to the body, feel the breath. Now, if there are polyps in nose, can't breath Sinus is inflamed can't breath If there is nasal septum deviation, septum deviated, can't breath since breathing is not proper, that's why Pranayama is not done efficiently, So to keep the nasal passage clean becomes important, See now I am bringing you from semiconscious to the body. If body is not healthy then you cannot do sadhna, to make body healthy, you need to learn Jal Neti You need to learn Sutra Neti. So that your nasal passage is clear. There should be no inflammation in sinuses no infection in sinuses, From both the nostrils, breath moves in properly. There should not be any pain in lumber area and you can keep your back erect because from that your and this dome shaped muscle will work in the right way. From it, lungs will expand properly from it breath will go right, breath will go right only then you can do Pranayama. If you don't give attention to these things then what will happen? will always live in semi-conscious state. In between consciousness comes for sometime like if there is a programmed robot, woke up in the morning, went to bathroom, drank tea, read newspaper, had breakfast, went to work, lunch time, it's 2 o'clock, eat your meal, it's four o'clock, drink tea, it's eight o'clock, go home, it's nine o'clock, eat dinner, it's eleven o'clock, sleep. Then again morning, then start again like a robot, here where do you use your conscious mind? Everything is running through your sub-conscious mind. This at this time, this at this time, this at this time not learning anything new, you are not doing anything new. There is no use of conscious mind at all. How long? Like, bell rang, who came? got active Oh he, okay. Then went back to unconsciousness. A wife gave food to husband from kitchen she asks, How's the salt ? Husband says, wait I will telling now, Saying now? You ate the whole meal, you don't know the taste yet? I was thinking about the problems of the shop so let me taste again then I will tell you how the salt is. What is it ? Semi-consciousness. In unconsciousness... took birth, in unconscious... lived, in unconsciousness... youth came, in unconsciousness... marriage happened, in unconsciousness... children took birth then in unconsciousness... one day you became old and then in unconsciousness... one day you died. his is semi-conscious state of mind. Have you ever thought Baba Sheikh Farid, Kabir, GuruNanak SahIb used to say repeatedly, Jaag, jaag, jaag, jaag le re mann jaag (wake, wake, wake oh mind) why are they saying so? Are we sleeping? definitely sleeping, that is why they say wake up See this subject is very deep. It's a very deep subject I am going very slow with you. So that you can understand it properly. If it's still difficult then little easy possible for you that's why I have given two books. In English it is 'Mind Undressed' and exactly in this subject there is another type of book named 'Mann ke paar' So you I will recommend Mind undressed that will be better for you. But about mind, different aspects of the mind that are there aspects of the mind, to understand that Mann ke Paar, book is also good. This subject is deep. So your focus is very much needed on this. So you take these books, read and think. This is contemplation of knowledge, the thought of knowing yourself. By doing this thought the nets of your mind will be cut. This much for today. Rest discussion tomorrow.
