“So there is an outer wind, which we all know, that blows things away. That moves everything. It is one of the elements by which everything is made. But there is also an inner wind that makes us fly within. So when we withdraw from this physical body and we cross the Tenth Gate and go into the Light, then there is a kind of wind, which is a very powerful wind. It’s a very powerful force that according to the experience we have to get may push us anywhere in the Universe, anywhere in the Inner Planes. So, by what do we fly once we withdraw from the physical body? We fly blown up, pushed, and propelled by this Naam Power, Sadhguru Power. Our God-into-expression power. And that’s a wonderful experience because it doesn’t undergo the force of gravity. And it’s not limited in space or in time. So if we get the blessing of stepping out of this body and going through the Tenth Door, going through the Third Eye, and stepping to the beyond, then anything may happen there. But everything that happens is always full of love. It’s saturated with love, bliss, and ecstasy. With wonder and amazement. So we shouldn’t be afraid of stepping out of this body. We shouldn’t be afraid of leaving this body because this body is a cage that imprisons us. And out of this cage, we are like a bird flying in the open space. So this is what we should pray for. This is what we should wish for. This is what we should do the practice for. And this is why we should, every day, do our practice so that we may show to this Supreme Sadhguru that we are really hungry for this. We want it with all our being. This Supreme Satguru will not take us into consideration unless we really show through our disciplinary practice, and discipline life that we really want it. Because it is a very precious something. It is the most precious thing in all manifestation, in all the universe. It is the Divinity.”

“Let’s share with everyone the best of ourselves. Thus, we will be loved by all. So, the effect of all the spiritual practice we do, the effect of following the Path and trying to apply the teachings into your life is meant to make us good people. Inner experiences, teachings, singing of holly songs, all the practice we do. In a nutshell, they’re meant to make us good, positive people, optimistic people, which is a contrary of being bad people, negative, pessimist. So, we don’t want to be this kind of people to always see everything as dark and black. We want to be people who concentrate on the shining side of life. Because as we think, so we become. So, the objective reality with which we connect, it’s a reflection of our subjective reality. So, we can say life is bad. The world is bad. People are bad. We attract into our life what corresponds to us according to the law of affinity. Therefore, we should do our best to always see the good side of everything. This will make us happy people, joyful people, loving people. And consequently, those with whom we relate, they will, correspond to us in the same way. And if somebody doesn’t, we don’t care. It doesn’t matter.”

“When we sit in meditation, we want to see something which, we can’t see with the physical eyes, within another eye in order to see the Divine Light. And this is the Third Eye, the Inner Eye, the Mystical Eye. It’s the eye of the attention. And when this Third Eye opens, it’s like opening a gate in a dam. You are flooded with water in that case and here you are flooded with Light. Because that’s our condition. We are closed up in a cage. And to transcend, to go beyond, open, and get free of this cage, we need to open a door, which the Master is also called the 10th door. This door is located in the middle of our forehead. This is what in yoga they call Ajna Chakra. In Ayurveda, they call it Sthapani Marma. And, it is the door that gives us access to the beyond, what lies beyond the body and the mind. To open this door, we need to be well-focused, well-concentrated, and steadily look in the center. Master Kirpal used to say if you can keep staring in the center for just a few minutes, then this Inner Door will open, and the Light will manifest. But in these few minutes, we must maintain full focus and complete silence of the mind.”

“The longing, the wish of a real seeker of Truth it’s always that of annihilating himself in the flames of Naam, in the divine light of God. If you are on the Path, that’s what we are looking for. To become one with the Absolute, to become one with the source of life. And to become one with this infinite being, we must broaden our being. That means we have to expand our consciousness. And at the moment our consciousness is locked up in this cage of the human body, this physical form. So we want to transcend this physical consciousness and access the expanded consciousness. We can say the cosmic consciousness. It seems a big word, but that’s what we have to do. Of course, we can do it only by the grace of Satguru and Satpurush, the Supreme Being. But we have to make ourselves available, fully available. Therefore, when we sit in meditation, we try to sit with with a longing heart, and we pray to our Supreme Satguru to please be kind, and merciful. By myself, I don’t succeed — no way that I succeed, but I’m here at your feet. I’m here at your door, at this tenth door, so please bless me.”

“When we sit in meditation, we are told to relax our body, give up any tension, and relax and be at peace. Then we are told that we have to still the mind. We have to silence the mind, which goes on all the time with his running commentaries about everything. And we have to activate our attention, our Surat, by well focusing it in the middle of what we see in front of our forehead. We have to forget everything where we are, our body and its activities, and withdraw, withdraw from everything. Practically, we shut the doors of sensory perception. Close our eyes, we don’t see. We try not to be disturbed by noises, so we try not to hear. We don’t speak. We don’t smell. We don’t taste, we don’t touch. These are how we connect with the outer world, so we shut them all down. But then it’s essential to be awake. Master Kirpal always said, to do your meditation when you are fully awake and conscious. This is a problem for most of the meditators. At some point, we may fall asleep. So we are not meditating. We are sleeping. So how to avoid it? There are helpful tips, and I give you some. You can move your head left, or right, or turn it clockwise, unclockwise. From time to time take a big breath. It’s like somebody shakes you. The other thing is the hands. Hands should never be together because if you keep them together, they become warm and induce sleep. So they are to be always separated, one on one leg, one on the other leg. They can be turned downwards or they can be turned upwards, better upwards. And if anyway you tend to fall asleep then you can just raise them. Don’t keep them on your body, on your legs, but raise them a bit. Another helpful tip is to keep your mouth open a little bit. Because you very well know, when you are looking at something which you really like, by which you are enchanted, your mouth opens naturally. So also when we meditate, it’s good to keep our mouth a bit open. So we need goodwill. We need to be acting. We have to find our way, whichever works better for us.”

“Starting the day with meditation sitting, with an act of devotion, that brings in love then that helps us tune in with Sadhguru power. It is the best way of starting our day. It is the way the seeker of truth should always, by any means, begin his day, her day. Because this will attract on us his blessing. It will protect us, will uplift our consciousness, and therefore, attract into our life, into the day that we are going to live the blessing, the grace, the support, and protection. So one of the purposes by which this is to be done is to attract his blessing, his protective shelter, his sharan, as they say in India. That will protect us from low energies that may complicate our lives. But if we have this shield around us, then those won’t bother us. Because our level of consciousness will be above it, will be uplifted. Therefore, we will invite you into your life, into our experience good vibes, and good energy. That will create good events, blessed events. So there are several reasons why we should start our day this way. The other reason is that we need, I mean, a real seeker of Truth, a real Satsangi will need to feel His presence because this is what makes our within beautiful, peaceful, and harmonious. This is what will inspire our mind with beautiful thoughts, inspired thoughts, and creative thoughts. Therefore, our choices in life will be of a higher kind. We’ll be inspired. Then there is also a sense of commitment, of duty. Because when we took initiation, we promised that we would meditate every day. That’s why we took initiation, because we want to follow the Path, and we want to get the benefit that the Path may grant us, provide us. So it’s a promise to God, the Master, and ourselves to live a certain lifestyle, and we do it because we are dignified people that stand by their own promises, their own choices in life.”

“So Master Kirpal used to say simple life and high thinking. Don’t want too much just be happy with what you have. It’s natural to try and improve our situation but we shouldn’t make it the goal of our life , the be all and end all of our life. We should just try to make nice and beautiful what we have. That’s the secret of manifesting the Divine in everything. We don’t need to change something.We need to keep it nice and beautiful. So we take care of ourselves of this body of this mind. Of our emotions. And we try to make our life beautiful. Not by acquiring again and again new things, but making beautiful what we have.”

“So try to understand what’s useful And what’s useless. What’s useful? Your peace of mind. Your inner satisfaction which comes from The Bliss which is already inside of you We are actually blissful beings. If we are deprived, separated from mind and thoughts. Which create emotions and sensations which give us troubles. Without this, we are just at peace.”
