Five Changed Names

 

In repeating the five names, does there come a time when just repeating Satguru Naam is sufficient or is it necessary to repeat them in order every time?

 

Look here, there are five planes. The Power is the same, working in different planes, called by different names. You start from the physical, astral, casual, slowly and then go up, step by step. The Power is the same. Just as a Power house Power in each one goes to the same, Naam or word, only one. God has hundreds and thousands of names given are according to these planes, one by one. So it [Simran] is for remembrance and is how a man can go to Him. For instance they learn, “I am not the body , I am light.” then all three gunas you feel I and my Father are one. Then we are one; no returning. But we have not to think of the meaning. These names were given according to each thing, because this is a science, a regular way. So whatever Master gives, that charging will help you. Do you follow me now? When you’ve been given the full theory and you sit inside Master says, “All right, say Satguru Naam, “ he gives you a boost. The five names are given only according to the planes. For the fourth plane , you say so with Him. Then you say that Power into expression only is the cause of all these five planes. But you're not to think of the  meaning. That’s only for your intellectual understanding. So any word given by the Master is sufficient. This is a scientific way you follow. Master gives some words and say, “All right go on, think of the changing will help. You are not to think of the meaning. If you think of the meaning then the intellect will work. Unless the outgoing faculties are controlled, mind is stilled and intellect is also stilled for a while, you cannot transcend.” Do you follow now? All right.

 

When a new man comes up, the theory should also be explained to him. Why is the theory not explained to new initiates? They should not repeat the names dumb like , parrot like. Why names are given in the books too, but they are not ‘changed’ from a book.

 

You see, ordinary, if the seed in the field that will generally grow into a fruit growing tree in about six to seven years. If you give it food in a scientific way. That every tree will give you fruit in two to three years. That quicker. Changing quicker the result. Do you follow me? and moreover, the changing quicker the result. Do you follow me? and moreover, the changing helps to work as a sheet anchor against any negative appreciation within. What is there to guide you, to protect you? It has a purpose behind it, you see. The same things are repeated by an ordinary man, that has an effect . there's nothing lost  in Nature, but it takes time to sprout forth. A man who has that Power, if he is sincere, can say to even if he does not know the meaning, those words work on account of the thought transference or changing behind them. That quicker the result and also works as a sheet anchor against any negative Power within.

 

In some satsangs no explanations are given. They feel you should read only Master's words.

 

What I have given in the books I have got it, experienced, digested and given In my own words, shorn of all terminologies; hard facts. That you will grasp quickly. You may read other books. There's no harm, if they're no the subject by others who have been given some glimpse of the thing.

 

Yesterday I got a letter from a very intellectual man, who always splits hair. He referred to a book, “Answer by forecaster.” I had told him I had not even the book, so enough sent it. he quotes from the 47^th pages, “ it says so, like that, but your teachings, ruhani satsang, are not according to that.” I read the book. Then  I explain to Him that these words are explained in an natural way; they mean the same thing. The language may be different. The way they are  put may be different, but the purpose is the same. So  intellectual people simply  split hairs. They cannot come to the core of the matter. For this reason, what I have given in may have referred to a step, two steps, and three steps like that, but  they were all on the way. They only gave that much in their own way: what was necessary to meet with the times. Further, one man wrote to me, “prophet Mohammed referred to the horrors in the other world.” I tell him, “Well look here, you do not know the circumstances under which he had to work there.” All were heathens. They were after worldly enjoyments. He told, “All right, you go up, you'll have more enjoyments.” In a way this was to give them a boost to do something. When they go up they will see for themselves what is what, and more. On the way too, those whose character was not sound, fell down in the astral planes. There are reasons. We do not know the pros and cons and the basics things of why that man has said, so, or why this man has said so.

 

We only read from your books. But meant to stop and explain a certain point to the people, who are not yet satsangis or who are. Some people take objection to that. Some people feel you should only read and some people feel you should explain.

 

No. no. don’t be too narrow minded. This is given; there is for instance, and almond with the shell around it. if you break it and get the real thing, then? This is what you have been given –the real thing, without any casing outside; direct facts. The intellectual wants to know why this is so, why this is not necessary. So this intellectual wants to know why this is so, why this is not necessity. So this is what I got in that letter. I had to explain to Him not to be too strictly, “don’t lose the spirit.” Whatever I have given for an average layman who can follow exactly what is what. No hidden terminology or around about sayings –direct. So it is easier to grasp things, but it is not a hard and fast rules not to look to the books of others. That is not a hard and fast rule not to look to the books of others. That is why I gave the digest of whatever little I came to know intellectually by studied or other scriptures in ‘Naam or word.’ I have also written a comparative study of religion it is explained that hatha yoga is only to develop your physical do that all. Prana yoga can prolong is only to develop your physical do, that’s all. Prana yoga can prolong your life. in bhakti yoga you'll have to make hypothesis. I have referred to Ramakrishna as an instance you may have read. He was a worshiper of the mother, Shakti. He saw another all around . he went to his Guru and said, “Well, I cannot transcend into oneness.” Vivekananda struck him here [on the head], and he rose. He gave him a boost. Jnana yoga is a matter of drawing inference for intellectual giants; not everybody’s work. You can have dips –glimpse of truth –by these practices. But this [surat Shabd yoga] is direct contact with the God into expression Power, Light and sound. You’ve been given a contact with that. This is not a new thing we are now giving. Master have all along been giving to a select few. In the old days rishi used to give children of five, seven and nine years old, a contact with the Light and sound.

 

On the 7^th December, I gave initiation. Some who was very intellectual came up and asked if she could attend. “Well, come on visit, see for yourself.” So she was conceived. Facts are facts, you see. And this is a rare opportunity due to the grace of our Master, I would say, that people are having first hand experience all free. You'll very rarely find this. I've been in contact with the most of the heads of others a region. They have no inkling it in a practical way. Some Master's do know too. Swami  - - - - - knew this thing but he started from the lowest center talking them up step by step. And this has been given to you direct; that’s the difference. By going through here, there, everywhere, ultimately you come there, to eye center. Why not has this on the very first day? but can give you a direct on the competency of the one who can give that’s all. Who can give you a direct contact with that, is the only criterion of a Saint or a Master. You are having something. To raise you up from the body consciousness is a very difficult thing to start with. For that the yogis have to do kumbhak (a yoga practice involving breath control) and so many other things for a years and years. You get on the very first day a glimpse of that. This is a great blessing, you see. You cannot ever judge his greatness, but still you can see there is something.

 

Do you follow why the five names are a necessity/ what is the purpose of it? Master's can say, “say flower, flower or rose.” Word ‘rose’ does not accomplish anything in itself but if they are according to scientific creation, then  . . . . . ? the names are given only for the reason I have explained. When things are not explained to new people who come, they say, “What is all this?” and they are right. Now the world has grown intellectually. They don’t like any impositions or anything. explain to them.

 

Who  knows the inner planes? References are written but very few have gone. They have given references, not details. Even if that is given in books, and people are telling you parrot like, “Oh! How will you judge that he really is the son of God or not?” the only criterion is that he can give you a boost, a way up, on the very first day, whether young or old, he gives you something to start with. The more you go, the same God into expression leads you to the place from where it emanated . So its is a very natural way, but it is difficult to give first hand experience, maybe little or more.

 

In the old days, you know, the people were made to sit at the feet of the Master for years. It is said of Abraham, Abram Adam, who left the kingship to have spirituality from Kabir, that he remained three, four years, very obedient to Kabir. loi who was a worker in charge of the house hold told Kabir, “Well he has been here for three years. It is better to give him something.” He told her “Oh, he is not yet ready.” “Why do you say? He obeys every little order of yours, lives according to what is given to  him and does not do anything of his own will; anything .” “All right when he goes out of the door, throw the rubbish of the whole household over his head, then what he says.” She did this on the following morning, throwing all the rubbish of the house over his head. He said,. “Had I been in bokhara!” [where he was king.] that I hood was still there, with all his obedient. So Kabir said, “I told you he was not ready yet.” Then after two, three years more Kabir said, “Now he's ready.” She said, “What is the difference? We don’t find any difference outwardly.” “All right now, when he goes out put all the refuse of the house, including the night waste over his head, and then hear what he says.” She did the same thing. He said, ‘oh God, I'm still worse than that.” You follow me?

 

It's fortunate you’ve come in contact eighth the God into expression Power by which you lose your ego. The more you come in contact; you become a conscious co-worker. And that starts when you rise above the body consciousness. That is what Master have been stressing: “Learn to die so that you may begin to live.” At the time of death, the soul withdraws from outside and rise above at the back of the eyes and you see some Power is working. When you rise above body consciousness daily you see some every strong Power is controlling the whole universe. And fortunate you are, I would say, with the grace of our Master, you are all having it.

 

So now it is for you to develop by regular practice and ethical living. And the diary is meant only for that purpose. You are given something the very first day, something you should have had only after years of preparation, when you are ready, like Abram. So that’s the golden opportunity you people have got. I'm only the midway and nothing else. The instrument  is there and that God Power is working. No son of man can do it. It is he, the Christ Power or God Power, which never dies, you see. They asked me in America, “Tell me, when is Christ returning?” I told them, “Has he ever left you?” he says, “I shall never leave thee nor forsake thee till the end of the world.” All Master's say that. You may leave; he wills mover leave you. Our Master used to say, he won't leave you unless he takes you to the feet of the Satguru purusha. You may leave Him but he has a long rope, you see. So that Power works, that Power at different times a through different human poles according to the needs of the times. He knows best. And the only criterion is that he should be able to give you something, some capital to start with, maybe little, maybe more. And that can be developed more and more, not through the word of mouth , mind that, but through receptivity. Eyes are the windows of the soul. When soul is absorbed in the intoxication, well, you'll have the same injection in your soul.

 

Once I was sitting by the Master. He used to make me sit and give a talk. He was training me like a child, you see. I used to repeat my questions and thoughts to Him. I used to turn to Him and talk and the people enjoyed. Once I told Him, in the old days, there were customs. They [Master] would dip the large toe of the foot and give the disciples the water sanctified by this charging. Then the times did come when they were made to sit before Master's face and look into his eyes. Souls speak through the eyes and they were charged. Then the time would come when they would bring something they had made to Master, some silks or something like that, and he charged their work. He touched it, “All right, you have It.” then again the time came when they used to say, “Well, what is lying down there, I'm here. What are you up to? I'm here through the eyes.” And now I say, “Well, all right, folding hands is sufficient.” Folding hands means you look into the eyes and you see. Why bow down, why not look direct? That is direct contact, through the eyes. Do you follow this purpose? So eyes are the windows of the soul, you see.

 

These things are not yet explained in books very clearly, I tell you, but the facts ate there. If you read all scriptures you intimately conclude that there is something. What’s the use of these words [Simran]? Changing helps, not the words. The words only explain the planes according to creation, that’s all. The newcomers want to understand intellectually why it is necessary. Previously nobody questioned it. Master said, “All right, go on, go on.” And changing helped them. Whether you know the whys and wherefores of things or not, the changing will help.

 

What do the children see? You saw the other day. I gave a sitting to the children outside. “All right have it, sit down, see here.” what explanation is given to them? Nothing. So it's the charging hat helps. That comes from the soul in whatever state it is in. That is why you can enjoy this even from thousands of miles when you develop receptivity. Of course physical presence cannot be underrated. That is directly by radiation. Tadiation can be had even at thousands of miles I told. Only direct your attention. Let nothing remain between you and Him; not even your do. So when you have understood, do it. Derive the full benefit. Do you remember Christ said, “eat me, drink Me.” how to eat Him? Not the flesh, you see. He is word made flesh. It is word you have to eat. And what do you see. He is word made flesh. It is word you have to eat. And what do you have to drink? The nectar of the word. That is within you and you have been given a contact within. So this is an explanation of the five charged words.

 

These are outer lectures, because they are given out heart to heart, there it. The whole theory is explained in these talks . . . . read crown of life. read Naam or word. very clear, whatever could possibly be given to you in words, is given therein. The question is to digest, to live up to it. if you follow correctly then everything will be all right. Newcomers are very intellectual. They will not take step unless they understand why it is so. “Why should I repeat these words? Why not others?”

 

So sometimes the group larders over does not explain. I told him that have told you the names but no the whys and the wherefores. Perhaps for want of time . . . . . how can these things (explanation of charged words) be explained in their general lecture, you see? There the theory should now I think, give explanation privately as questions come up.

 

Very intellectual people do want. Some people come up to me, “I have come. Will you give me time?” “Oh yes, do come on, bring all your questions. Sit inside, lock the door. Keep the key with you. Don’t come out until you're satisfied.” What more can I say? With the grace of God, Of course, I know that truth is truth and cannot be made untruth. I am giving you what I have found with the grace of the Master.

 

Are you doing all right with your meditation please ? don’t keep reserved. You're here only for that purpose. God will give you. He's within you, waiting for you, anxiously. Would keep Him waiting? Then hurry after Him. Thank you.
