The Master's say, "We do Simran of The Word or Naama given at the time of our initiation by The Master to bring our scattered consciousness into the eye focus, so that mind and tongue become motionless. The mind is so used to running out into the world, darting here and there, that it never stills. It is busy creating interface between The Soul and the world, through its contemplation. Only Simran has the power to rein it into stillness, so that we can have single pointed attention. The Simran helps the mind and soul to withdraw from the nine apertures of the body and concentrate at the eye center. Our constant knocking at the eye center, is our consciousness knocking at the TENTH door."
The Saints say, "To stay put with single pointed attention at the eye center is very difficult for the mind, as it is accustomed to jumping from one thought to another worldly thought, as it deems itself to be the Doer. To stop it's wandering and have its attention fixed at the eye center it needs a base, a form on which it can fix its attention.
Since we have not seen The Lord, yet, it is difficult to focus our attention on The Lord. The wavering mind is capable of bringing in many projections of The Lord, thereby creating a wavering attention."
Hence The Saints advice, "Keep your single focused attention on The Master who has initiated you, who has given you the magical Word or Naama, which is laced with His Spiritual Energy. The Master's Consciousness power is doing its job inside us. We just need to do Simran. The rest will be taken care by The Master.
The Master's consciousness attracts our consciousness spread all over, like a magnet. Automatically hitherto distracted and wandering consciousness find stillness, as they merge with The Master's consciousness.
The Master's consciousness is already settled in The Lord consciousness, hence we are able to enjoy the eternal bliss and contentment. As we practice Simran and Contemplation of The Master's form regularly, it becomes our regular habit.
Whenever a favourite dish is prepared, we automatically rush to have it. Similarly, the bliss at the eye center is such that we want to be back there, if possible stay put. Our Master is already waiting there eagerly to catch up with us. He pulls us up from the worldly Marsh. He is waiting to comfort us, He very well knows about our struggles and pain. The Master is firmly holding our hands to ensure that we traverse the spiritual path comfortably."
The Master's say, "As we take the Naama given by The Master, we Live in The Remembrance of The Master. By The Master's Grace, at appropriate time depending on Simran and our Single pointed attention, The Master will open The TENTH door."
To escape from the grip of Maaya and worldly attachments is not easy. But our Master has been kind enough to show us the path which will enable us to cross the cycle of Life and death. Let us do as much Simran as possible. The Master's say, "Dedicate at least 2 hours in a day towards Simran." Let us feel the Presence of The Master each second, with us and enjoy The Master's Grace being showered on us.
