Link to my free e-library online, which has sections dedicated to recommended reading (see the Spiritual Seeker's Guide there), Charts of the Heavens, and a vast amount of resources with several Sant Mat and Radhasoami pages: santmatradhasoami.blogspot.com/2019/01/sant-mat-radhasoami-books-main-page-e.html

"Light is always within us. When the mind is settled, we see that Light. When this state is developed, we see it everywhere, even with open physical eyes. You see the dark veil, and the Light within that. In the Light you see the blue sky and the golden center shining resplendently -- in the still pose of mind; and when you try to make and use your own efforts, your mind's still pose is disturbed, and you lose it. We need not make any efforts. Our clutching will stand in the way and retard our progress. We should, however, make effortless effort. Sit fully devoted and fully absorbed with the inner gaze fixed, losing all sense of effort -- as effort involves a taint of ego -- leaving all to the Master within." (from an unpublished book of Sant Kirpal Singh on meditation practice)

Thank you so much for your dedication and Seva James🙏

[@VijayanShanmuganathan]

Thank you James for doing this work, we who are in the journey guided by the Sant Mat masters, need to be reminded as we walk through the daily distraction of Kaal. Send our love and blessings.

[@ScottGaul]

This is fascinating -- all the ways to do the practice. The Masters have given us many helpful instructions.

[@SpiritualAwakeningRadio]

A rare path, but one with a long and diverse history.

Why is it happening..... 😢 There was a time when i was so much deep into spirituality, always feel connected with my master, Never left satsang, sewa. But now everything is opposite, am in different country, cant attend satsang and sewa, as i used to do in my home country. I was so spiritual there.. 😢 So many things are happening right now.......I feel i am cursed, i feel, am separated from my Master..,..My master will never forgive me😢 Why he separated me from himself amd sent me so far far away.... That even i don't know when am gonna see him😢 There's something missing Why is this happening?

Another wonderful share, James, thank you kindly🙏🏼 One thing I'm curious about is an eye posture I learned thru Sam Harris (typically for open eye meditation) where you focus on the air in front you and an intervening space. This in effect dissolves feelings of subject-object duality for as long as you can maintain the posture. You melt into your surroundings. Curious what ya think and how that might interplay into these meditations?

[@SpiritualAwakeningRadio]

Sant Mat extends this focused attention and dissolving into the realms of inner space beyond body-consciousness, beyond the world of the five senses. With eyes closed, in the field of darkness, the focus of the observer extends into the Infinitesimal, which becomes a doorway to Light. “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 your physical eyes, is the inner eye." (Kirpal Singh) And to answer your other question. The soul needs to escape, to find repose in the Beyond. Then when it returns it's in a much better position or state to offer wisdom, creativity, to be a useful embodiment of peace and sanity in a world where this is in short supply. The higher the percentage of meditators there are in the world, the better off the world will be. The masters even say that it has been the presence of saints in the world that has kept the planet alive thus far. If a growing percentage of the population finally can catch up on the wisdom that was offered millennia ago and continues to be offered, we might just survive for millennia to come.

Thank you for the message - finally remembered to revisit this. I’ve been sitting on the ledge with Sant Mat, caught between stabilizing some aspects of my life, yet called more and more to knock on the door beyond. I take your message to heart, knowing this world needs us to bring the light of heaven from inside out. Be well, brother. Radhaswami💙🧡🙏🏼

[@eamaples]

Have you ever run into the masters referring to the pineal gland?

[@SpiritualAwakeningRadio]

In Sant Mat the masters usually don't use that term but for sure the Third Eye Center (Tishra Til, Ajna Chakra) is central to the meditation practice.
