ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON THE SCIENCE OF THE SOUL
BY
SATGURU KIRPAL SINGH JI
Q. Q. To what extent is outer behaviour indicative of inner spiritual
growth?A. A. A keen sense o& sel&(a"negation and sel&(naughting is the outward
e')ression o& one*s s)iritual )rogress. +t is not e'hi"ited to hide our
weaknesses "ut to actually make one &eel in the heart o& hearts that one
is nothing "ut a mere tiny cog in the ast machinery o& Diine
)ur)oses. One who "ecomes a conscious co(worker o& the Diine,lan- neer asserts "ut hum"ly descri"es in third )erson. He neer
des)ises any one "ut always relishes to o&&er loing hel) and assistance
to others. He does not criticise- "ut narrates the &acts o& li&e in a
sel&less manner &or our s)iritual "ene&it. He lies sincerely u) to the
Holy ommandments- irres)ectie o& the results. He does not yield to
the enironments "ut ad%usts himsel& cheer&ully knowing &ully well that
he is always under the Gracious ,rotection o& the Master(,ower. He is
neer gloomy and in his heart o& hearts is always cheer&ul- een in the
&ace o& mis&ortunes. He does not "lame others &or their shortcomings"ut seeks to weed his won out "y care&ul liing and ada)tation. He
does not attri"ute his s)iritual )rogress to his own single(handed

earnest endeaours "ut considers it as a Holy Gi&t &rom the Master. He
is well("alanced in &ailure and success. He can &orgie and &orget
easily. He is seldom )roocatie and is rather "lessed with a keen
sense o& loing co(o)eration &or the s)iritual wel&are o& others.
He does not assert his authority nor claim any su)eriority oer theless deelo)ed souls- "ut "ehaes like a &riend or "rother and inwardly
)rays &or their redem)tion. He neer &eels "urdened with the worries
o& others and can o&&er su"lime solutions with much ease. He is eer
com)assionate in his heart and wishes the wel&are o& all men- animals-
"irds or insects. He is always &ull o& dee) gratitude- and seldom
com)lains a"out his di&&iculties whatsoeer. He is chaste and kind "ut
hides his irtues under the cloak o& studied science. He neer "oasts
o& his alour or intelligence "ut seeks to hel) others surre)titiously.
He dislikes lime(light. He shuns )u"licity and &eels shy in large
crowds. He does not like acting and )osing- "ut is always unassuming
and natural in his "ehaiour.
He can silence his thoughts at will "y attuning with the Holy Naam
within and "y turning his attention to the Holy /eet o& the Master. He
is eer )rotected "y Him and is hourly &ednay rather eery moment
is "lessed with the loing 0i&e(+m)ulses &rom the Master(,ower . he
knows it &ully well that this )hysical li&e is "ut a )assing )hase o& the
soul &rom the lower categories o& creation in the long drama o& human
e'istence- and nothing material will accom)any into the !eyond. He
does not "eliee in hoarding "ut tries to lie a &rugal li&e &ull o&contentment. He is only allured "y the s)ell o& higher liing "ut
considers it as a strong &etter on the human soul. He does not ie with
the so(called a&&luent and rich )eo)le "ut inwardly )rays &or their
#)iritual 0i"eration &rom the Wheel o& "irth and death. He does not

dedication as a "oon in itsel&. He will seek to hel) others een at the
cost o& his won su&&ering. He is- in a nutshell- a righteous man o& good
thoughts- good words and good deeds.Q. Q. Is a disciplined initiate one who attends Satsangs regularly,
adheres to the vegetarian diet and devotes time to practices with due
regard to self-introspection?A. A. 1es- these are the cardinal irtues o& a disci)lined initiate which
should "e inculcated and assimilated in a state o& loing humility.Q. Q. o we, as Satsangis, have a special aim or responsibility?
A. A. Well- as initiates- we hae taken on a duty. And with duty there

is a de&inite res)onsi"ility.
A mem"er o& the Ruhani #atsang takes u)on himsel& the most
im)ortant and the most di&&icult task in the world i.e. ena"ling himsel&
and his &ellow "eings to attain #el&(knowledge and God(knowledge.
Thus our aim is knowledge or the !eyond. 2#cience o& the #oul* seeks to make the human soul One with God
"y transcending the ,hysical- the Astral and the ausal )lanes o&
e'istence. +t is there&ore 3uite inde)endent. Outer &orms and
ceremonies- rites- rituals- sacri&ices- &asts- igils or )ilgrimages- these
are outer )ractices called A)ara 4idya. +n our #atsangs we should not
mi' u) the #cience o& the !eyond with any other kind o& moement
which deals with something other than this #cience. #o our main aim
o& li&e is to know ourseles and to know God. We must neer waer
&rom this and in eery action we do- we must consider whether it
takes us nearer to or &urther away &rom our ideal- and our
res)onsi"ility is to set a good e'am)le &or all.
Q. Q. Should I avoid if possible, those who because of their worldly
ways and negative vibrations, cause me to suffer, especially in
prolonged contacts?
A. A. A man is known "y the com)any he kee)s. +t is the accociation
which moulds our character- and the s)iritual as)irants should "e care&ul
inkee)ing a keen igil. The worldly minded )eo)le are usually engrossed
in )hysical and sensual )leasures and their actiities a&&ect the s)iritual
as)irant adersely. 1ou should know that yours is the Way into the!eyond whereas the worldly wise hae their won am"itions o& sense
grati&ication. 1ou should care&ully aoid uncongenial society in the larger
interests o& your s)iritual )rogress. 5en the reading o& o"scene literature
a&&ects adersely- and as such should "e aoided scru)ulously.
Q. Q. Is one supposed to drop all routine to ta!e care of Satsangis who
literally drop our of the s!y, descend with bag and baggage, without
funds to support themselves, disrupt all family chores, daily routines,
expecting you to come through with living "uarters and entertain
them?A. A. The initiates are %oined in a True Relation which neer
"reaks and &orms )art o& the /amily o& the Master. They are truly "rothers
and sisters in God. The initiates should e'tend all &easi"le hel)- &inancial
or otherwise- to them while not ignoring their won &amilies. They should
try to let them "e on their own legs &or their sustenance. Their sel& should
also e')and to all others who are on the Way.Q. Q. #ith the many social problems facing the man!ind should we
attempt to study these through higher education and research during
the day and in the evening spend our late hours in meditations$ orcan we turn our bac!s on these problems and concern ourselves with
our search for %od?

A. A. The disci)lined initiates should endeaour to discharge their
worldly duties as a matter o& routine- to the "est o& their a"ility- "ut with
serene detachment. God(reali6ation should "e considered as the only
mater o& great im)ortance- and all other matters should "e attended to
seriously- i& necessary- so as to grant you an inner satis&action o& haingdone your )art well.Q. Q. If one is wor!ing on a creative pro&ect li!e painting, can one as!
for help and inspiration from the 'aster.A. A. The child disci)le is eer )rayer&ul &or the accom)lishment o& his
or her )ro%ects. There is no harm is doing so )roided it is undertaken in
a sense o& detachment and &or the sake o& discharging your legitimate
duties. /or more clari&ication a re&erence is inited to the "ook )rayer
+ts Nature and Techni3ue.
Q. Q. Is artistic talent, as some people say, a %od-given gift which is
meant to be used in this life or is it something which one has wor!ed
at and developed in a past life and must now be put behind one, when
entering this Spiritual (ath.
A. A. All talents inherited as a result o& )ast 7arma are good )roided
they are utili6ed &or attainment o& s)iritual )rogress "y regular
meditations. 5ery "ody comes to this world with certain instincts and
im)ulses which can "e harnessed &or #)iritual Deelo)ment under
om)etent Guidance. +t is the single(minded deotion o& the initiate
which should "e deelo)ed care&ully and should "e considered as the "est
o& Godly Gi&ts.Q. Q. )re creative pursuits li!e painting, which give pleasure and
satisfaction and may earn some extra income, worthwhile to carry on
or are they hindrance to spiritual development, when they are one*s
specific &ob?
A. A. the so(called creatie )ursuits like )ainting- singing- story
writing etc. Are sim)ly diersion o& mind to idle )ursuits- es)ecially
when these do not &all within the )uriew o& your legitimate duties or are
not needed to make your lielihood. #uch like actiities rather &eed the
su"tle ego in a wild and surre)titious manner- and as such should "eunder( taken most care&ully. The initiates should try to )ut in more time
in meditation so as to )rogress on the Way.Q. Q. +esus gave to (eter, according to the script, the !eys* of the
ingdom of %od. Some teachers say these !eys are love, wisdom,
understanding, compassion, sympathy and discernment. Is it not
possible that the real !eys are the five harged names? If so, will you
please give us something for the ivine (earls?A. A. All these are the means to the end which is #)iritual ,er&ection.
The holy contacts with Holy Naam is its arious as)ects are the 7eys o&the 7ingdom o& God gien to the disci)le to awaken his #el&(
onsciousness- osmic- and #u)er(osmic onsciousness. All these

Diine 4irtues &ollow o& themseles "y coming into contact with the
0ight and #ound ,rinci)les without your asking. The #un o& #)irituality
when it shines high shows eerything in clear &orm. Righteousness
&ollows a matter o& course. Dharma when esta"lished does not leae any
)lace &or i&s and "uts. 1ou are not to e'ert or )ose "ut lie in the actualsense.Q. Q. /ow many really true devotees abide by a 'aster in /is Sacred
So&ourn herein /is blessed physical body?A. A. There are no s)eci&ic )roisions in this "ehal&.Q. Q. +esus said0 1 Ta!e heed that ye do not give your alms before
men, to be seen of them2 let thy left hand not !now what thy right
hand doeth.3 #hy then must the disciples put their names on their
contributions to the Satsang?A. A. the accounting o& the &unds is meant &or the maintenance o&
&inancial statements inoled. The 3uotations mean strictly that the
donors should not attach any im)ortance to their sel& &or the
contri"utions made "y them- lest it &eeds their ego.
Q. Q. )ccording to page 4 of 'y Submission*0 Spirituality is nothing
but serving the people.* 5et we are told our first duty is to ourselves.
Sometimes it would mean neglecting ourselves to serve others.
(lease explain.
A. A. 2#erice "e&ore sel&* is a ery good thing. !ut ery o&ten one
does not een know the true signi&icance o& serice and with all his well(
meaning intentions actually does disserice instead o& the much wantedserice o& which we so gli"ly talk. 8ntil we discoer the true 2 #el&*
within us we cannot isuali6e- much less actually reali6e in others the
sel&(same 0i&e(+m)ulse i"rating in the unierse. This is why em)hasis is
laid in the &irst instance on #el&(7nowledge- &or it )aes the way to God(
knowledge and when it dawns- one sees nothing "ut the #)irit 9o&( God
working in all harmony- in each creature. 2#erice to others* now assumes
3uite a di&&erent as)ect- "ecoming a dedication to the #)irit o& the
unierse )erading in and around you- "ecause when one gras)s the
Human in himsel& he understands all mankind.Q. Q. I have always wanted a rebirth to help humanity in some
essential way, biochemistry, organic gradening or health measures,
or the protection of trees, natural resource. 6ow we are taught to get
off the #heel of re-birth, but I feel so inade"uate and unpreparedA. A. the highest aim o& a man*s li&e is to know Onesel& and to know
God. +& once we hae attained that- our )ur)ose is sered. The Diine
,henomenon which determines &uture "irths o& the initiates is le&t to

What in the world is a&ter all ours: Nothing- not een the

Radiant /orm o& the Master mani&ests o& itsel& in due
course.
Q. Is it true that a disciple does not ac"uire any spiritual
progress in meditation for at least five years?
A. +t is incorrect to think that s)iritual )rogress cannot "ehad &or at least &ie years. Those who are not ready- are
neither led to the gracious 0iing Master not are they
initiated into the Mysteries o& the !eyond. Those who are
initiated- get some e')erience o& 0ight and #ound to start
with. Howeer- )rogress does ary according to the )ast
"ackground and "ecause o& this some may )rogress ra)idly
and others may lag "ehind. !ut there is sure ho)e &or
eery"ody. +t is a sim)le- yet arduous schedule which is
made much easier "y the grace o& the Master.
Q. #hen a soul has made its seat in the eye -focus, is it not
the
'aster who is seated at the eye -focus?
A. No- when soul is com)letely withdrawn to the eye &ocus-
contact with the holy #ha"d Dhun can "e had. #oul and
#ha"d Dhun are o& the same Diine 5ssence. The radiant
/orm o& the Master mani&ests at times to assure the initiates
that He is with him o& her.
Q. /ow can man free his body from all negation, and
achieve (erfection or near (erfection?A. Man can &ree his "ody &rom all negation and achiee
,er&ection "y resort to stern disci)line- sel& control and
regular meditations &aith&ully under the guidance o& a
,er&ect Master.
Q. Several occasions I had fallen asleep and was sha!en
out of it by a tremendous high pitched roar at the right side
and flashes of 9ight. I could not move the body. #hat is
this?
A. The sensory currents &rom the "ody "elow arewithdrawn u) to the eye &ocus with the aid o& holy Naam.
The slackening o& the inner ga6e at the eye &ocus results in
slee) as you e')erience. During this )eriod the #urat or
attention sli)s down to the gullet ganglion instead o&
ascension within.
The Diine Reelations o& holy 0ight and #ound urrent
awaken you and you &eel the num"ness o& sti&&ness o& the
"ody "elow.
Q. /ow can I prevent going to sleep during meditations?Sometimes I seem to during into a !ind of a dream and yet I
do not truly seem to be asleep. Sometimes with all the will

in the world to meditate it is hard to remember that I am
meditating, because of this sort of ream State which
comes over me.
A. #lee) during meditations can "e )reented "y kee)ing
the inner ga6e constantly &i'ed into the middle o& whateeryou see within and mental re)etition o& charged holy
Names- to "e done ery ery slowly- may "e at interals- so
that the inner ga6e is not distur"ed. #lee) or stray thoughts
intrude only when the inner ga6e or attention is slackened-
and it re3uires a good deal or strenuous e&&ort to deelo) the
ha"it o& staying wide(awake and &ully conscious during
meditations. The &act remains that when going to slee) or
meditating &ully the soul is collected at the seat o& the soul
which is at the "ack o& the eyes. While in the &ormer state
soul descends into= gullet centre when she sees dreams and
into solar )le'us when it goes into sound slee)- in the latter
case "ody slee)s "ut soul remains conscious and ascends
into the Higher Realms and en%oys the &lights consciously.
The one is called the

the soul "ack to God- which is Wordless or A"solute.
Though mind is actiated "y the soul- yet it has come to
dominate it. Again- mind is &urthercontrolled "y the senses
or the outside &aculties which in turn drag us into the &ield o&
sensual )leasures "orn o& our attachments to sense o"%ectswithout. Master tells us how to withdraw the soul current
"y means o& concentration at the centre o& our "eing and
grants us contact with the Diine Word which is within and
which is the way to God.
Negatie ,ower kee)s in control the creation in e')ression
or mani&estation. !ut once the soul comes in contact with
the
Diine Word- +t is li"erated &orm the "ondage or mind and
matter with the hel) and grace o& the Master- and i& &reed
&rom the gri) o& the Negatie ,ower.
Q. #hy does the mind forget the bliss?
A. /orget&ulness is the chie& attri"ute o& human mind. +t is
due to the gross Maya or materialism that we &orget the
inner !liss and are oertaken "y the sensuous urges. When
inner onsciousness grows gradually- mind &orgets its lower
)ulls and relishes inner !liss )er)etually with the grace o&
the Master.
Q. #hen pain in the legs is unbearable, in either )sana
after say forty-sixty minutes, that is when the things reallybegin opening within.
/ow is this overcome so that I can completely withdraw?
A. 1ou should sit in any )osture 3uite rela'ed "ut straight.
0et there "e no tension in the "ody- and you should not
change your )osture. Do not )ay any attention to the "ody
"elow nor think o& rising a"oe to the eye centre. 0eae all
the Master(,ower working oerhead. $ust kee) your
attention constantly &i'ed at the eye centre while re)eating
the harged Names mentally at interals so that the innerga6e is not distur"ed. 1ou will not &eel any )ain- and inner
0ight will s)rout &orth. ,ractice makes a man )er&ect. The
holy meditation should not "e a mechanical routine o& %ust
sitting &or a certain time "ut it should "e o& loing deotion
dyed in reerential humility when you stand a"egging at the
Diine Door o& the 0ord. The inner o)enings stated to "e
&alling to your lot towards the close o& &orty(si'ty minutes
meditation will "e en%oyed much earlier "y resigning to His
Will.Q. Sometimes when I am not even meditating, I can hear
the Sound.

A. +t is an aus)icious omen and shows your growing
rece)tiity.
The holy #ound urrent "ecomes audi"le "y regular-
&aith&ul and accurate meditations without closing the ears.
This kee)s the attention o&= the initiate engaged- "ut the#ound should "e heard "y closing the ears regularly- which
will draw closer- "ecome stronger and ultimately come &rom
a"oe to li&t you u) into the !eyond.
Q. Is it alright if I experience visual inner glimpses while
sitting in 8ha&an?
A. One thing should "e done at a time. 1ou should try to
a"sor" your attention com)letely either in the Diine 0ight
"y looking into its middle or listening to the holy sound
urrent as coming &rom the right (side with ra)turous
attention. +& you do "oth the )ractices together- attention
will "e diided.
Q. #hy do none of the visions of the 'aster:s radiant =orm
stay and also why do many attempts yield no results?
(erhaps my attitude is ungrateful. #hy does the face or the
form of the
'aster dissolve then I try to ma!e out the features?
A. +t is due to the lack o& your rece)tiity which would
deelo) o& loing deotion. 1ou sim)ly kee) your ga6e
constantly &i'ed while looking intently and minutely intowhat you see "e&ore you. 1our so(called attem)ts amount
to a clutching tendency to hae one thing or the other which
should "e aoided "y resigning to His Will and ,leasure to
"less you with whateer is deemed "est &or your s)iritual
)rogress.

One is All and All are One in Him. 1ou are adised to

Q. /ow does one deter mine a :%reat 'aster:?
A. #wami $i Mahara% in #ar !achan has answered this
3uestion ery "eauti&ully. He e'horts that as and when you
hear a"out a #aint or Master- %ust go to Him and in dee)
humility and reerence sit near Him. $ust look into His eyes
and &orehead like a child with dee) rece)tiity. 1ou will
&eel an u)ward )ull o& the soul and Diine Radiation &rom
His eyes and &orehead. !esides- i& you hae any 3uestion in
your heart- these will "e answered automatically "y His
discourse without your e&&ort. Oer and a"oe all the
testing criterion &or the,er&ect Master is to hae the conscious contact o& holy
Naam within the lowest likes o& which in the &rom o& Diine
0ight and holy #ound urrent must "e had on +nitiation.
Again He should "e com)etent to a&&ord guidance &or His
initiates in the
Astral ,lane and must )rotect the soul at the time o& their
)hysical death.
Q. #hat is a Sant or 'aster?
A. A #ant or Master in the #aints< terminology is one whogoes to #ach khand or the /i&th ,lane and comes "ack at
Will- and who can gie you 5')erience o& contact with
Word or Naam.A Mahatma is a word in the ernacular to
coney a highly eoled #oul. These words are- howeer-
not )ro)erly used these days and an ordinary )erson o&
small degree o& )iousness may "e termed a sant or master.
!ut you need not worry a"out words.

Science was, howeer- enunciated in times o& #ant 7a"ir and
Guru Nanak and therea&ter "y other Masters
Q. Is it possible to succeed on this (ath alone?A. No. To succeed on this inner ,ath- we must &ind One
who has e')lored it to its utmost limits. A liing Master is
an indis)ensa"le need- and an indis)ensa"le means to the
attaining o& #el& (Reali6ation. On the )urely )hysical leel-
He seres as a liing e'am)le o& the ,er&ect 0i&e. He tells
us o& our True Home and the way that leads to +t. One the
s)iritual side He gies us details o& the inner ,ath- its
intricacies and di&&iculties- )roides His Attention- with an
actual e')erience o& withdrawal &rom the "ody and o& the
inner 0ight and #ound- and guides us through the more
di&&icult )arts o& our inner %ourney until we reach our Goal.

A;+t has a signi&icance. The entire human li&e is a drama

A. +t is not less &ortunate karma to "e "orn as a woman and
there is not )otential di&&erence in regard to the s)iritual

A. 5ery initiate has a lot o& good and "ad karma to "e

good or "ad karma cannot "e ade3uately %usti&ied- as "oth

#u&&ice it to note that the Decrees o& Heaen are su"%ect tono error and the Diine Dis)ensation is inaria"ly &laoured

A. The thoughts continue &eeding the mind and register

Howeer the thoughts entering the mind during meditations

when some )eo)le can recollect their dreams ery clearly
whereas others cannot recall them.
Q. an the initiates influence the 'aster?
A. 0oe and yearning coming &rom the innermost recesses

whateer the child would ask would "e gien. At times i&
the child would ask &or a thing which is in reality a )oison-
not good &or him or others- he will not agree to gie the
same. The Master knows- and He would gie what is in the
"est interests o& the child. The child may consider it
otherwise. !ut when he comes &ace to &ace with Reality
within- he may "e allowed to see more things. 8ntil then-
there &ore- it "ehoes the child to act im)licitly in the way
directed "y the Master. Those who hook their wagonssincerely to the Master hae eerything to gain. They shall
go to the realms to which the Master goes and they will "e

hae to &inish their natural gae and take in due time in the

Q. #hat is %od and how can we !now /im?
A. God- as all the scri)tures and the #aints hae said- is
nameless and unknowa"le. Then how can we know
God: The answer is that A"solute is not knowa"le- yet
makes Himsel& known "y mani&esting Himsel& as 0ight and
#ound ,rinci)le. Most religions tell us that the creation
"egan &rom these )rimal mani&estations. Now the diine
0ight and the Diine #ound or Word may "e contacted "y
rising a"oe the )hysical consciousness. They e'ist in a
latent &orm in all o& us. Our Goal must- there&ore- "e tocontact them and deelo) them within us. To do this- we-
through meditation- lean to withdraw our soul to its seat
"ehind and "etween the eyes. Haing once contacted the
inner 0ight and #ound- we can )rogress towards their
#ource- )assing &rom )lane to )lane until we reach God
Q. #hat is %od? an you give a simple answer that we can
understand?
A. God is A"solute. No"ody can eer know Him. God
when coming into action- creates all "eings- sentient orinsentient- and controls them. Our )hysical "odies work so
long we are in the "ody- "ut we cannot run away our o& it
through the o)en eyes- ears- nose and mouth etc. That God(
in(action )ower is called Word or Naam or 7alma etc. +t
controls our souls in the "ody. When that )ower is
withdrawn- our soul leae the "ody. !reathing goes out o&
the "ody "ut cannot remain outside. #ome )ower )ushes it
"ack into the "ody. That God( in(action ,ower controls the
whole o& the creation. That is called God. God is the#u)reme 0aw working in all creation seen or unseen. He

A. There is one God- and only one Way to Him-. And
&orthis we em)loy a com)lete and de&inite #cience- oldest o&
the oldest- most ancient and natural- which is the )ractical

&rom the "ody and senses and "ecome a )ure soul with no
strings attached. Nanak tells us; 8nless one rises to the
leel o& God- one cannot know God
Q. an the disciple see %od?A. God is A"solute- whom so &ar no"ody has seen. When
He came into !eing- God "ecame 0ight and #ound
,rinci)le. 1ou can see His 0ight when your eye "ecomes
single.
The light of the body is the eye; therefore when
thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light
---Luck 2:34 :
And you can hear His 4oice when your inner ear is o)ened.
The A.!.. o& the Masters< teachings start when you rise

grace o& a om)etent Master.
Q. /ow would you differentiate between the soul and
spirit?
A. There is no di&&erence "etween the soul and s)irit- "oth
re)resent the consciousness )erading the human "ody.
Q. If one could see the soul with these eyes, what would it
loo! li!e?
A. No"ody can see the soul with these outer eyes and assuch it is "eyond the ken o& human com)rehension to know
it. The soul is the 5nliening ,rinci)le )erading the
human "ody and it can "e reali6ed within "y introersion

)resence o& the 0iing Master- who has &ull command and
control o& His mind- that we &ind radiant re&lections o& inner
stillness and e3ui)oise o& the mind. A #aint has e'claimed

A. Human mind is so &ashioned "y ,roidence that it does

&act mind is hel)less against the onslaught o& senses which

are in their turn drien into the %ungle o& grati&ication. A
care&ul analysis will show that the lower categories o&
creation who are endowed with one sense )reailing as
u))ermost are either done to death or lie their whole li&e
under ca)tiity. /or instance moth is oerwhelmingly &ondo& light on account o& its sense o& sight- which takes its
)recious li&e. A moth will neer hesitate to "urn itsel& on
the "urning candle.
/lower(&ly is &ond o& small and other &ragrance. +t rushes on
to the "lossoming &lower and )re&ers to die in it than to
leae it. /ish is the &astest creature and en%oys its li&e in
running waters. +t has the weakness o& taste or lure o&
tongue. The &ish catchers )ut some eata"le on the rod and
the &ish is caught hel)lessly on the hook and seres as a
eata"le. Deer is one o& the most nim"le(&ooted animals
which can rarely "e oertaken "y a horse- "ut it has a
weakness &or hearing. The hunters go to the wood and "eat
the drum in such an enchanting manner that unaware the
deer is irresista"ly drien near- and )laces its head on the
drum and loses its &reedom &or li&etime. 5le)hant is one o&
the mightiest creatures "ut it has the weakness o& lust which
)roides &or a not ery di&&icult way o& ca)turing it "y
digging dee) )its in the %ungle and coering them with grass
and "ushes. An arti&icial she(ele)hant like a decoy is )lacedoer it. The lust&ul animal rushes towards it and thrown into
the dee) well- where it is ke)t &or seeral days hungry and
thirsty. When it is taken out it is so weak and &ee"le that it
is )ut under the iron goad &or the entire li&e. /rom the a"oe
it is )retty clear that the souls which are considered as
"ound in lower &orms o& creation are so much
oer)owered "y one sense- where lies the sa&ety o& human
souls who are endlessly enticed "y all the &ie )ower&ul
senses o& sight- smell sound- taste- and touch. !y sheerha"it- it has "ecome mured- roaming the world oer like a
wild ele)hant in a &orest. /eeding &at on the lusts o& the
&lesh- &rom moment to moment- it has grown out o& all
)ro)ortions. The s)iritual disci)lines are irk(some and
galling to it &or they im)ose serious restraints on its &ree
moement. This is why the mind does not relish any
disci)line- and )lays all kinds o& tricks to eade them-
)osing at times- as an honest "roker )leading on "ehal& o&

+t is the outstretched gracious Hand o& the Master which
hel) us to wade through %ungles o& sensuous wilderness.
5thical disci)line i& cultiated under the )rotectie guidance o&the Master is hel)&ul &or s)iritual )rogress.
5thics and s)irituality go hand in hand. The &ormer is the
soil and latter the seed which thries and "looms in
&aoura"le circumstances.
Q. Is there any good or helpful characteristic of mind?
A. 1es- mind like $anus- has another &ace as well. +& it is
trained )ro)erly "y gentle )ersuasion and kindly words o&
adice- with a little )atting now and then- it can "e
conerted &rom a &ormida"le &oe into a alua"le &riend and a
hel)ing hand to the soul in its search &or Truth. +t is %ust a
3uestion o& time and )atience to "ring a"out this conersion-
and when it is done- one can hae no "etter hel)(mate than
the mind. +t has the ca)acity- chameleon(like- to take on the
colour o& the ground where it s3uats and that indeed is a
redeeming &eature. When liing on the circum&erence o&
li&e- it e')ands outwards- downward= "ut rooted as it is in
the Gannan- it is not im)erious to the higher and holier
in&luences o& a Master(soul to whom it res)onds and He
channeli6es it the other way a"out. 0ike &ire it is a erygood serant "ut a "ad master.
Mind has hel)&ul 3uality o& running into the grooes o&
ha"it- and to relish acts o& re)etitie nature. We can "ene&it
&rom this "y inducing it towards good acts leading to
s)iritual disci)line and )rogress. A saint has "eauti&ully
said; My &eet )roceed &arther and &ather= the mind &ollows
3uite meekly and cheer&ully.B
+& "y care&ul and steady striing we could induce our mind
to sit silently &or meditations at the &i'ed time &or a certainnum"er o& days- a good ha"it will "e &ormed. +t is a )roen
&act that when that hour o& meditation will arrie- our
attention will "e drawn towards it- and "y degrees we shall
"egin to relish to( meditate. #imilar is the case with
attending #atsang regularly. We can deelo) this ha"it "y
regularly going to see the Master and attending His
discourses that are &ull o& Diine 7nowledge. +t is o&ten
noticed that )ersons with ery )oor s)iritual "ackground
tend to grow s)iritually "y"ene&itting &rom the radiation o& the Master(,ower in the

Q. /ow can the mind be stilled?
A. Mind is enamoured o& )leasures and runs a&ter them
wheneer and whereer they can "e &ound. +t is stilled in the
)hysical )resence o& the Master. +t is "y His Diine
Radiation that the souls are attracted towards Him- and themind which gets consciousness &rom the soul is stilled &or
the time "eing. Tulsi #ahi" says. The attention or the outer
e')ression o& soul is controlled in the com)any o& a #adh.
+t is only then that the mind attains some stillness.B !ut
)leasures o& the &lesh are 3uite di&&erent &rom true ha))iness
"orn o& inner )eace in the soul. +t the mind is )roided with
the a))etency to relish something su"lime and gets an
o))ortunity o& doing so it knows the alue o& real ha))iness
with the result that the sense()leasures lose all their charm-
and therea&ter seem insi)id and alueless. This is the way to
still the mind and the way to control the hydra(headed
monster "y making mani&est in the "ody the dulcet strains o&
the Music o& 0i&e- enliening the entire creation. We hae
an instance o& it in the li&e o& 0ord 7rishna- where it is
allegorically e')lained how the 0ord tamed the many
headed co"ra in the rier $umna human "odyB- "y the
melody o& His magic &lute Audi"le 0i&e #treamB.
Q. an all actions underta!en at the level of mind and
senses help spiritual progress?A. All actions )er&ormed at the leel o& mind and senses-
howeer good and irtuous in themseles- cannot )er se
"ring a"out #)iritual #alation. They are as "inding as eil
actions. One is the chains o& gold and the other or iron. To
do good actions are "etter than to do "ad ones- or inaction
altogether- "ut "eyond )re)aring a ground &or s)iritual
)rogress- do not "y themseles "e o& any aail to the s)irit
which lies &ar "eyond and a"oe the sense()lane. !ut once
a )erson is )ut on the s)iritual )ath- then all the actionsautomatically &low &rom him as &rom any agent working &or
the )rinci)al and as such cease to hae any "inding e&&ect on
him as he has lost all sense o& doershi)- ultimately making
him neh(karma actionlessB. To "e neh(karma then should
"e our ideal in li&e and this means #alation.
Q. oes mind retain impressions of past !arma?
A. 1es- mind is nothing "ut a storehouse o& karmic
im)ressions coming down &rom the "eginning o& time in an
endless series o& incarnations. The "ody cannot "ut )er&ormkarmas- and karmas &ashion the "ody and all that is o& the

karmic im)ressions stored in the mind "y the )eo)le o& the
world. This is why the world is termed as mano mai srishti
or creation o& the mind.
Q. /ow can the dross of mind be washed away?
A. The dross o& mind can "e washed clean. The soereignand the most )otent remedy to wash the mind clean- say all
the Masters is "y communion with the holy Word. The
God(in(action )ower creating and sustaining all that is
isi"le and inisi"le. To "e in tune with the music o& the
soul is to cut asunder and to sunder &or eer the knots which
at )resent "ind the material "ody with the conscious soul-
im)risoned in the "ody with countless &etters.

Q. If the disciple is one the way bac! to the =ather and
under the guidance of a 9iving 'aster, why is it so difficultfor him to hear the Sound urrent?
A. +t is the scattered attention o& the initiate which does not
allow him to hear the holy #ound urrent. !esides- the
oerwhelming attachment to worldly )leasures and sense(
grati&ication stand in the way.. The liing Master is 0oe
,ersoni&ied- and as such loing deotion to Him is the &actor
which makes &or "etter inner contact o& the Audi"le 0i&e
#tream. +t is rather the tendency o& human mind which does
not relish "eing chained and as such it re3uires some
disci)line to "e o"sered &or haing an inner conscious
contact o& the celestial melody. At the outset it is indeed
di&&icult "ut "y regular )ractice the soul &eels an innate
a&&inity with the #ound urrent- when inner "liss is
e')erienced with the grace o& the Master.
Q. oes loss of life fluid in sleep retard progress?
A. +t does a&&ect s)iritual )rogress. 1ou should aoid
