MASTER KIRPAL SINGH INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO SHABDA MEDITATION

 

" February 6, 4 A.M. Meditation of effortless effort: While the sangat

(congregation) chants lyric verses of Kabir, the white-clad Master emerges

from a doorway. A ripple sweeps across the sea of 18,000 souls and their

responsive singing ceases in mid-verse. After sitting in a half-lotus upon

the dais, Maharaj Ji's soul-quenching eyes move across the audience,

alighting upon this person and that.......Master commences meditation

instructions: "

 

" [Kirpal] Meditation is the process of withdrawing the attention from

the world outside, and focusing it at the seat of the soul in the body,

behind and between the eyebrows. This point is known as the inner eye,

third eye, the single eye, Shiv netra, tisra til, or the divya chakshu. In

order to withdraw our attention and focus it on this point, mind must be

controlled and stilled. "

 

" Sit in one pose, and move not your head, limbs or eyes. Sit

straight but relaxed with no tension in the body below. Sit still.... "

 

" Close your eyes as in sleep, and look sweetly, lovingly, intently

into the middle of the darkness lying in front of you. You will see a dark

veil. That which sees the dark veil within, without the help of the

physical eyes, is the inner eye. Do not put any strain on your physical

eyes, nor turn them upwards, for that will result in headache or heat. Pay

no attention to the breathing process...let it go on naturally. "

 

" There are two currents working in the body; one of motor-currents or

prana or the vital-airs, and the other of surat, or attention, which gives

us the sense of feeling. The Saints do not touch the prana currents which

govern breathing, circulation of blood, growing of hair and nails......The

Saints' way is to concentrate surat or attention at the single or third eye

while mentally repeating the mantra of five charged names which act as an

'open sesame' to the higher planes. "

 

" As you look within, you will see a sky; or blue sky. If you look

minutely into it, you will find it studded with stars, or you may see

pinpoints of Light. If so, try to locate the big star out of them, and fix

your whole attention on that. Then you may see the inner sun or moon. If

so, focus all your attention into the middle; it will break into pieces, and

you will cross it. Beyond you will see the radiant form of the Master or

his Master... "

 

" [Arran Stephens] He continues with the esoteric instructions, until

everyone is absorbed. "

 

" [Kirpal] ...Become the eye itself. Go on looking constantly without

a break. Those who are initiated, repeat the five charged words, one by

one, very slowly, mentally, internally, at intervals, so that your inner eye

is not disturbed. Those who have not been initiated, just sit in sweet

remembrance of God...repeating with the tongue of thought any Name of God or

Saint which you hold dear. Any effort on your part stands in the way; let

yours be an effortless effort..... "
