Is Samadi state correct in the path of Spirituality…?

One of the devotees who is retired engineer asked some questions to Eswarapattar on spiritual development and wanted some clarifications. The following are the questions put by him.
 
Q.No. 1: After studying several books I started to meditate 15 years ago on the lines given in the books. But the methods prescribed in the books were not very clear and I did not have the opportunity to get trained under a guru.
 
Seven years ago I got practical training under one of the initiators working in the worldwide scheme of Maha Rishi Mahesh Yogi. I am now meditating as per the training given to me.
 
About 20 to 30 minutes after I start meditating I use to forget myself. I will not hear the striking of the wall clock near me. When I suddenly come back to my consciousness, I will feel that I have forgotten to breath and my breath is stopped.
 
I am thinking that it is the state of Samadi as given in books. Still my conscience is not satisfied with this. I request Guru Dev to let me know if I am proceeding in the right path.
 
If it is not the correct path I pray to Guru Dev to guide me in the right way.
 
Reply by Eswarapattar:
1.Your state is like a land that has been ploughed prepared and kept ready for sowing.
2.The way to sow and reap the harvest is to be known and followed.
3.All of us are the children of Sakthi and “all have the grace of Sakthi…”
4.The path each person takes depends upon his thoughts.
 
From the time we started as monads in this world our thoughts have been as per the breath each person has been taking.
 
Each life-atom or monad has a different behavior. Each category has a characteristic state of its own. Each life-atom has its life energy. No two life-atoms will be in the same state.
 
Each soul when it adopts various bodies, the life energy goes on with the soul in all the bodies, just like the sound waves which are created by the bodies also go with the soul.
 
The state of meditation that you have got now is
1.not attained by you only during these fifteen years.
2.Your present state is following you “from the time you started your life as a monad…”
 
Continue in the state that you have attained and after coming out of samadi state when you sit in meditation…
1.think that you are sitting on the globe of this world.
2.think that you are absorbing energy from the Sun
3.and feeding it to your life-atom meditating on Eswara (third eye – in between our eye-brows)
 
Then you can realize several truths; tell others orally and in the form of books about the truths that you have realized so that they may also be benefited by them.
 
This will yield the fruits of your taking this birth and you can lead the people of this world in the right path and remove the stain that is in them.
 
Q.No. 2: Is it advisable to read various books on philosophy written by different authors or not? What are the books that we should read and those we should not read?
 
Reply by Eswarapattar:
1.Why should you worry about reading books written by several authors…?
2.They give their views in the books.
3.The real state… “we can know during our meditation…”

Meditate with “single mindedness” on the right path

Those who are afraid of themselves, forget their real state and look at their states with fear, thereby spoiling their mind and health.
 
1.In the atmosphere around us there are several crores of life atoms, good and bad atoms
2.several spirits in various states and there is a moisture also.
3.In the stratum above this there is no air or moisture and only one state exists there.
 
When the clouds in this stratum strike against one another there is lightning and rain. The spirits there, that are in search of a body into which they can enter, get a chance to enter into the bodies of a persons who are afraid of thunder and rain.
 
In such a state without our knowledge we get into the state of that spirit.
 
When a man is afraid, he forgets himself and his thoughts. When he has no thought he is inactive and yields to depression, his state changes his health is affected and his life itself becomes a grievous one.
 
Now do you realize that the state of the mind is the cause for all these.
 
All the explanations given these lessons are taken by every person according to the state of their breath, mind and similar will be the effect on their life style, bodily health, financial state and their happy or depressed state.
 
The sun gives all the energy for this earth. With whatever energy that we can absorb out of it, we should try to take into us good atoms and the grace of good people.
 
1.We should meditate with single mindedness on the right path
2.and then we will get the help of good people
3.and no bad thoughts or bad spirits will be able to approach us.
 
If our thoughts remain concentrated on the true state of Sakthi, we will not have any fear, meditation on Sakthi is the only way to purify ourselves.
 
A person who gets the grace of Sakthi will get everything automatically. In whatever state you may be, do not get depressed but indulge in your meditation and get the grace of Sakthi.
 
In the present state of this world in which a man does not know his real state and lives with disgust the only way to realize his state and live in a high state is to meditate on Sakthi.
 
When we say meditation people get an idea
1.that it requires very strict disciplines which will be difficult for a family man to adhere to.
2.But actually it requires no special talents
3.we have to direct our breath and thought on the power of the God that is within us… it is meditation.
 
By doing so we will get the grace of many of the great souls that are in this world.
 
Every one of those who read these lessons should know these facts
1.and get the power from the Almighty, teach others what they have learnt
2.so that they may also be benefitted and live in a good state.

Meditate on Eswara

1.Being born as human beings is itself a gift obtained after long penance.
2.But we spend our life in this world with much confusion and fear in our minds wasting precious time.
 
The benefits of this life lie in our leading a useful life without wasting it.
 
Every man has a acquired certain characters from the power of God. This power we get before we get into the wombs of our mothers.
 
Though we have come in a good state we get greedy and come to a state wherein we destroy ourselves. If man can utilize the powers lying concealed in him, he can do by intelligence what science has done to him and much more.
 
People read about Siddhas entering into other bodies just to pass off time or as a story. What our ancestors have told as advise and divine truth have been used for pleasure and making money.
 
People waste their true state in which they can attract several truths of this world.
1.They think, let us live as long as possible
2.and do wandering in the spirit or astral world because they are afraid of it.
 
In the present state of this world the only possible way to live serving all the lives is to meditate on Eswara. For a man who has got fear in his heart “anything black will appear as a devil or ghost…”
 
Our ancestors said that there lived several crores of Siddhas before their time. Jesus was born as an ordinary shepherd. Others like Muhammad Nabi, Buddha, Bogar Konganavar and the like were born as ordinary men. They rose up from the ordinary state to one that is praised by the people of the world.
 
We… who are also born in that state have wasted our talents in the name of science. From that time the state of the man at his birth has not changed; there are several crores of changes in his thoughts.
 
At the present state even in the way of meditating God “the man who tells the truth is laughed at…”
 
The truth that some great men like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda of the recent times have told have been utilized to make money but not followed. It is quite possible for us who are born now to live like Siddhas of those days.
 
If we grow up without yielding to our worldly pleasures we can get this state. After we are grown up the only way is meditation. When these things are taught people are afraid of the faults in their old beliefs and live in the background.
1.To get rid of these we should choose one Guru or master
2.from whom we can get several truths.
 
Bhogar had a Guru; Christ had a great siddha in him; Thiruvalluvar had a great sage as his Guru. Every person according to his state can learn his first lessons only through a Guru. That Guru with his powers can draw the energy from the sun and give us during our meditation.
 
At the end of Kali yuga “why can we not live like Jesus, Bhogar or Thiruvalluvar…?” and guide others.
 
When we meditate on them they can attract higher states than theirs and help us to gain that state.
1.We should not have any fear in us
2.and show that we can realize the fruits of taking this birth.

How to do Meditation…?

Most of the people do not know
1.how to do meditation…?
2.which is the posture prescribed for it…?
3.what is meant by control of breath…?
 
Several thoughts sweep our mind when we sit for meditation. Many methods have been recommended by several persons; How to choose the best of these…? These are the problems encountered by persons who have actually entered the path.
 
Some others advise that meditation should be undertaken only in the far end of our life. I Eswara Batta am unable to explain what meditation means.
 
My way is
1.that in our thoughts, dreams, while doing our work at any and every moment
2.we should think and actually feel that God is with us, in us and
3.remain steady in that state… This is what is meant by meditation.
 
Doing Puja and going to temples are only to divert the mind from other activities and point the whole attention towards God. I am telling you to fix the time for meditation after sunset.
 
That time will be a favorable one to attract the thought waves sent by Siddhas. You will get their full blessings at that time; our breath will be good and good atoms will be inhaled by us.
 
The number of good atoms in us will slowly increase and they will give us good smell in our breath.
1.As the number of good atoms in our body increase,
2.the state of our soul rises and we would be getting some super human powers;
3. we will be getting some sweet smells in our breath.
 
In this state no bad atoms, thoughts or words will be able to approach us. Even if we are confined in our underground cell we will not be affected. No bad atoms can approach us.
 
1.All the lessons that I am giving you is for your getting into this state.
2.All those who read this book should not waste their time in repeating several manthras to a God, without any form,
3.we are born with the power of the Sun and hence think of Shakthi the Goddess of power and meditate on Eswara upholding truth in your thoughts and actions.
4.Do group or mass meditation and teach others the Divine truth which you have realized so that they may also be benefited.
 
When you are asked to sit down and meditate at a particular time after sunset some people think that there is some magic power or witchcraft involved in this.
 
This is the best time when we can sit down after completing our work for the day. The state of the atoms coming from the sun and the state of our breath at that time are quite suitable for the purpose.
 
When we meditate, the Siddas and others who also do the same for our benefit will it do at that time.
1.In the early stages of our meditation we require a Guru or Master to guide us.
2.It is for this that the time is fixed after sunset.
 
When we get hiccough we say that someone is thinking of us and as soon as we think of that person, that is when the thought waves of both the persons meet the hiccough stops.
1.In a similar way when we meditate our Guru will know this
2.and bless us to succeed in our meditation.
 
Those who read this are requested to meditate on Eswara after sunset when they will get good smell which is a sign that Eswara is blessing and your soul is getting feed from him.

Meditative state during sleeping

It is not only from the time that we get up from our beds in the morning till the time in the night go to bed that many thoughts come and strike us and put us in several states.

If we go to bed with the thoughts that we had during the day, other souls in the atmosphere without bodies that have similar thoughts COMBINE with our thoughts and during our sleep the thoughts of those souls PREDOMINATE our thoughts and our thoughts follow the thoughts of those souls.

This is the cause for having some dreams not connected with the happenings in our life.

The souls that have gone out of the body do not require any food or rest. When human beings are asleep the souls in the spirit/astral world enter the bodies of the like minded persons and EXCITE their thoughts

The dream that we have in the night may be happy or sorrowful one. When we wake up our thoughts work on what we have dreamed in the night and we WORRY ourselves saying that we had such and such a dream and people say, what we have seen in our dreams will happen.

The same thoughts work on us, we make the SAME KIND OF BREATH and consequently our actions follow our thoughts. Pleasant dreams also will have the same effect.

Some of our deeds follow the dreams that we had in the night. Realize that your actions DEPEND not only on your thoughts during the DAY TIME, but also on your thoughts during NIGHT. 

Just before you go to sleep meditate for at least 15 minutes. By doing so the thoughts what you have meditate will REMAIN in your BREATH during sleep.

In this state your thoughts during the day and its developments do not infest your soul which remains in a MEDITATIVE STATE.

You will not scatter your thoughts and get all sorts of dreams. All the life atoms in our body will also remain in a calm state.

We should train our soul to concentrate on one thought.

Only way to lead our Soul in the upright way is to do Meditation

This body belongs to the Soul.

The body and all the atoms act on the orders of Soul.

The life of Soul acts as per the thoughts.

The thoughts are as per the breath.

We should realize these and take our breath in such a way that our thoughts remains in one steady state during our Meditation.

We should not allow any other thoughts to disturb our thought and do meditation with one steady thought.

Any outside thought should be MADE TO COINCIDE with our thought.

The body, the house and the business of a person who establishes his thoughts during meditation will not be affected by anything.

If we are in a scattering our thoughts other thoughts will come and attack us.

The only way to lead our Soul in the upright way is to do Meditation without anger, disgust and malignity.

Do not allow other's evil thoughts to interfere your thoughts

As soon as we get angry all the atoms in our body become agitated and the BREATH that we take becomes HARD.

When our breath is hard all parts of the body get exited. The blood PRESSURE INCREASES and gives rise to all sorts of ailments. It is this sorrowful attitude which is the root of all other states.

We should keep our mind calm and steady when anything sorrowful happens and take our NORMAL BREATH which is the only way to get clear of it. This calmness is to be created by us. That is Meditation.

Suppose somebody scolds us for something for which we are not responsible, then we should not feel why he is scolding us when we have not done any harm to him and let him reap the consequences of his bad actions. 

When the man who does the evil is free from its effects why should we be affected by thinking about the evil that he has done and worry about it in our mind?

Those who cheat, scold or deceive others do those harms to themselves. They think that they have cheated others but actually cheat themselves.

On the other hand our thoughts should be on GOOD DEEDS ONLY and not paying any attention to what he tells, pray to God to give him good thoughts.

By doing so, we keep ourselves within the realm of our good thoughts and do not allow his evil thoughts to interfere our thoughts and keep ourselves PURE. 

Live worshiping the God within us in the form of our Soul.

While we inhale and exhale we should think of God so that His power will be SOAKED in our BREATH and whatever work we may be doing will get His blessing.

Since our thoughts in our meditation are on God, no evil power can approach us. To save us from those evil powers God himself remains meditating within us. 

  

Our SOUL is that God. There is no power other than that of God. Let us live worshiping the God within us in the form of our soul.

The Divine gate

By meditating in an angry, revengeful, depressed state of mind we will not get any benefit to our soul.

Unless we develop love and righteousness we cannot enter the path of Gnana.

We should know our Self, enter the gate of Gnana, by following the path of righteousness, getting the grace of those who have already gone through that GATE.

Then we will be able to attain that state of the GREAT NOBLE SOULS, merge with the NATURE and become God.

We are all Gods and everything is God. There is no one who can give us that state but we have to attain that state by ourselves.

The souls that are in the astral or spirit world cannot evolve or raise their state.

Even if they have a desire for good things, it is only by taking a human body that they will be able to proceed in any one of the spiritual paths. 

Family life is the best way for doing MEDITATION

Those who have followed the lessons given so far would have entered the path of GNANA (WISDOM). Every soul that absorbs what has been said (in its thoughts) and puts the same into action will surely get gnana.

We should consider GNANA (wisdom) as a treasure and preserve it carefully. In the course of our meditation we will drive out all the evil powers in us and the power that we absorb in us will SHINE in us.

The power that we acquire should be preserved carefully and should not be used to DASH AGAINST the EVIL powers that some other person has got, trying to put down those evil powers.

This treasure that we have gained should be used to work in co-ordination with the power of Nature and should not be wasted by using it against nature.

In the same way if we think of the people with evil thoughts, their evil thoughts will come and affect us.

Even after if we get into the path of meditation, our thoughts, words and deeds should not be on those who have got evil thought, say evil words and do bad things.

No one can change the breath that the bad people have been taking and their attainment. In order that their evil thoughts may not attack us we should pray to God to give them good thoughts.  

If we pray in this manner and proceed in our path of gnana, we will absorb power from the Universe and know that we are not separate from Nature, the Universal Power.

As your soul gets more and more power we will be able to contact any of the sages or rishis in the higher regions by our thoughts during our meditation and increase our power by their grace.

This is the way to get ourselves merged with Nature. This should be done leading a family life. Sabdha rishis have reached their state leading family life.

It is not those who lead the life as an ascetic, living in forests or in caves, in mountains, taking intoxicating drugs and remain in a state forgetting themselves, that get into the graceful state.

Meditating in the open exposing the body to severe weather conditions like heat, cold and rain is not the proper way.

To do it leading a family life is the best way.

Let me NOT FORGET YOU even for a moment

Our elders have said “It is bad to see bad people, or to hear their words or talk about them”.

Since these will retard our progress in our spiritual path, we should pray during our meditation to give them good thoughts so that they may be changed and become good people.

By doing this our thoughts will always be CONCENTRATED ON GOOD THINGS ONLY.

My disciple tells you to pray as follows:-

Oh GOD,

Give me always good thoughts

Give good thoughts those who see me

Let my way be always good

Let me NOT FORGET YOU even for a moment.
