Reading our old chats has me all teared up. I don’t think anyone will ever feel as comfortable around me as you did, and I don’t think I’ll ever feel as comfortable around someone as I was with you.

I reread the muthum sothum part, and I miss you talking about your sister I got so attached to her. I hope she’s okay. I hope you’re okay.

I hope you’ll keep your promise and never text me again. I hope you never see this.

Why We Begin Meditation at the Third Eye Center in Sant Mat… It's the Seat of the Soul - Baba Ram Singh

When we sit for meditation, we close our eyes and then we focus our thoughts at the back of the Eye Center. And our faculty of visualization is also there, which also visualizes the Form of the Master within. And by doing Simran, we concentrate our attention and focus at the back of the Eye Center. Then, automatically, when we sit for meditation, our attention starts getting focused on the Form of a Master at the back of the Eye Center.

There are the rishis and munis who also do meditation. But their meditation and their focus and attention are slightly different. Instead of focusing at the back of the Eye Center, what they do is, they start focusing on the chakras.

So, in the physical body, we have six chakras. And starting from the lowest chakra, they start doing the mantra. Each chakra has a mantra, and what they do is, they repeat the mantras. And, when a certain number of times that mantra is done, tens of thousands of times, then that chakra opens up. And, that way, they start progressing by opening each of these chakras and going inside and up within their body. So, for them to take and open each of the six chakras and then the seventh above that and go up, inside, it takes a very, very long time.

Mahatmas say that when someone has to climb a mountain and he is midway, standing on the mountain, there is no point in going down to the bottom of the mountain and then climbing all the way up again. Instead, he should climb upwards from where he is.

So, the soul is currently situated at the back of the Eye Center. And, therefore, Saints say that you start from there. You start focusing there and focus your attention where the soul and the Master stay. That is at the back of the Eye Center.

So, therefore, we should lovingly focus our attention and do the Simran and the Dhyan, that is, the contemplation of the Form of the Master while doing Simran at the back of the Eye Center. When we do this lovingly, we also start getting the Grace of the Master there.

Gurumukhs [Faithful Disciples] Have Always Kept Their Masters Before Them And The Rest Of The World Behind, Excerpted from a Spiritual Satsang Discourse by Baba Ram Singh, August 10th, 2018, Afternoon Meditation Talk

To reduce our deeds and to do the meditation of Naam, we have to do our Simran. Simran is very important for that. By doing Simran, we are able to purify our mind. We are able to redeem those karmas that are there on the mind today. And, once we do that, then we will get our inner peace and happiness.

As long as our mind is not purified, as long as our mind does not become still, we will not be able to get that inner happiness and peace. And that is why Masters have suggested that we should do our Simran.

We should not look at meditation and Simran as a burden. We should do it with full love and affection. And, in our daily schedule, we should keep this as a priority because we should remember that that is what we have got this human life for.

We have to do the Bhajan Simran regularly. It should not be that we do it for a few days, then leave it for a few days, and then again, do it for a few days, and again, leave it for a few days. That way, we will not be successful. To be successful, we have to be consistent. That is why, in our daily schedule, we should always have this as a priority and set a fixed time. That way, we will be able to do it better.

If we set a fixed time for our meditation, and we also set a fixed place for sitting for that meditation, then the mind also gets used to it. If we keep changing the time of our meditation, or keep changing the place of our meditation, then that gives an opportunity for the mind to also create havoc with us. And then the mind also reminds us of so many other things that have to be done. And that way, it keeps disturbing us. So, if it is used to sitting at a fixed time, it realizes that, “Yes, this is the time for meditation,” and then, it leaves us alone for that time.

Even place-wise, we should make a fixed place where we sit for meditation. By sitting for meditation at that fixed place, we purify the place. We are making that place holy for sitting for meditation. And our meditation also improves when we sit at the same place.

Simran: The prayer of the Name, repetition of a Sacred Name or Names of God, usually done mentally, "with the tongue of thought" (Manas Jap).

Light in the Darkness: "When we do Simran given by our Masters, it is that Simran which brings about a transformation. That gets us away from our attachments, our egos, and our greed and our desires. All of that is gradually removed by Simran. And that is what brings about the transformation.

"Soamiji Maharaj: 'Till we manifest that Sound Current within, we have darkness within -- like we have had for hundreds of millions of lives before.'

"So, to dispel that darkness, even if we are able to manifest that Sound Current for a second, we will be able to get Light within. And then, whenever we close our eyes, there is Light within and that darkness is dispelled forever. To manifest that Sound Current, the Masters give us the tools of Simran and Dhyan. By doing this, we are able to go within. Our mind is, today, accustomed to going outside for everything. And we are forever being driven outside. To get that mind inwardly focused, the Masters give us the tools of Simran and Dhyan. And by doing that, we are gradually able to get our attention focused at the Eye Center." (Baba Ram Singh, Satsang Discourses, Volume 11)

Satsang And Meditation Are The Nutrients Of Our Soul, Discourse by Baba Ram Singh

Santji would often say this, “Leave a hundred things and go and attend the Satsang. And leave a thousand things and sit for meditation.” Because this is the true work for which God Almighty has given us this body.

All the other things that we are doing, we do for others. Whether it is nurturing of our children, it is for the children. Whether it is working in employment or farming or for a business, it is for that particular occupation or service or business. So, all of the things that we are engaged in is all work being done for others.

So, what is the work that we are really doing for ourselves for which we have been sent into this world?

Satsang and meditation are the nutrients of our soul.

Sant Ji used to often say, “Like we give food to the body, it is very important for us to give food and water for the soul.”

So, the Satsang that we listen to is the water that we are giving to the soul and the Bhajan Simran that we are doing is the food that we are giving to the soul. When we give this food and water — the Satsang and Bhajan Simran — to the soul, the soul becomes stronger and the mind becomes weaker.

On the contrary, when we do our outward things, then the mind becomes stronger and the soul is becoming weaker. So, it is very important for us to give proper food and water to the soul.

It is very important for us to listen to Satsang every day and sit for meditation and do our Simran Dhyan Bhajan every day. Whenever we work out a schedule for the day, we should always prioritize our meditation and keep that first on the schedule and complete our meditation. And, only then, get on with the other duties.

We do the opposite. We usually give time for every other thing and then, if we have some spare time, we give it for meditation or Simran. And we often forget our Simran and meditation.

Now, when we do like this, mind becomes stronger, and then it takes us away from all of this.

As to why we do not do our meditation and we do not listen to Satsang regularly, it is because we do not have faith — adequate faith — in it. We do not have that much love and affection for our Master and for our Bhajan Simran. We are manifested completely outside. So, we are identifying ourselves with everything outside. We have complete faith in what we see outside and we have our full love and affection for everything that we are doing outside. And that is why we are not able to sit and do that meditation regularly and listen to Satsang regularly.

When we make it a habit of sitting regularly for our meditation and we make it a habit to listen to Satsang every day, then slowly, our mind will become weaker and we will be able to spend more time doing our meditation. And we will start enjoying that meditation more.

So, we should make it a part of our schedule, our daily schedule, and we should prioritize our Bhajan Simran and keep that as the first thing in the schedule. By doing that, our love and affection will grow towards our Master and towards Naam and meditation. And we will start, more and more, enjoying it and doing it.

* * * So, the atmosphere is very quiet and nice and we should make the most of this. We should close our eyes and sit for our meditation.

"We should do a lot of Simran and Bhajan, and we should also do Simran in other times when we are free. And, with this, we should try to rise as fast as possible to the Tenth Door. By doing Simran and by doing devotion we will get the Grace of the Master. "Therefore, Nanak Ji in this bhajan* has said, “This whole world and all that we see is an illusion... We should move our attention and our love and devotion from here, and take it to the Feet of the Masters.” We should make the most of this priceless time and opportunity that has been given to us. "So, morning time is good for us. We have woken up. The mind is fresh. So, we should use and make the most of this time and do our Simran and Dhyan. So let us close our eyes and sit for meditation." (Baba Ram Singh)
