Transcript

Hello everyone, so far we have covered relaxation and meditation. Today, I would like to introduce what I think is one of the most vital components of heartfulness practice called cleaning. What are we cleaning? We are cleaning the impressions that we gather during day time during go and daily activities. So what are these impressions? How do we anyway, gather them See you see something?

Is a rose flower while walking in the garden. you admire the beauty of this rose flower. What next? It drawn you might feel so lonely river nearby. Pull it in your hands and you might say okay, Oh, lovely fragments. Second day you happen to pass by the same area, look at the flower bloom to its fullest and say oh my god such a beautiful flower.

You might feel like backing at a time may come. Oh, I must have such a rose flower. Maybe in Yeah, in my backyard or maybe in the front of my house. Maybe it should be in my solar window. So this is how we get attracted towards something. That very effort of avoiding or indulging with that creates an impression in our mind.

Another example I would like to share with you is in circus how powerful these elephants are. If elephant goes bad, and decides to disrupt the entire circus tent, it can bring it down to floor in no time. But when its leg is tied up with the chain, merely to a chair, it thinks that it's been tied with the big column, which is unbelievable. But if it had intelligence of the understanding of the wisdom to see that this gene is not connected to the column, concrete column, but it is only connected with the chair, imagine what it can do when it is tied down by its own impression that this gene is binding there's another beautiful story I like to sell with you a lower this plane to meet his beloved across the river from unfortunately and there was a flood couldn't make it or can't make it.

Middle of the night there was no boat when either he was frustrated somehow he saw something on the bank side and grabbed it sat or swim across the river lifted on the bank side. These developments please couldn't dare to enter from the front door because of parents perhaps. So you decided to go from the back back window. So the back window is open and also saw that the rope left But he's below it. So he grabbed the rope and pulled himself up to the first floor. spend his time with his beloved beloved bass in such a rainy torrential night.

How is it? How did you make it here? It says, Oh, you left the rope behind this window. She said, No, I didn't leave any rope. And when they turn on the light and sees that we're closing the rope, it was a big snake. He thought it was a rope.

And as it is to the bank, and place this is the log of wood that he thought it was a wood, which was a corpse, dead body. And he said, and swim across to the river. So when the Since the cops it's Oh my god, that wasn't a wonder log. But anyway, some save some farm gave him the impression It was a log. So, such impressions, which are based on inner biases rather than to the reality of a particular circumstance we second to and to fix better this goes on happening in life. Suppose if you were Once bitten by a dog Well, this time of your life, you'll be afraid of that four legged animal.

And by God, I don't like this. So does we kind of establish a chain of likes and dislikes a spectrum of likes and dislikes. If all the actions are stronger, we react according to our liking or attraction or the And based on that, where the desire for it all we really mean kind of in a state of fear perhaps, you know when you You must have observed when we traveled in the flight and you keep watching passengers attend, you know, coming one by one you look at faces you know one by one and see Oh, he's okay. She's getting to look luggage. This seems to be a good person. This guy was just entered.

Not so good. So good. Our mind goes on, you know with this face with this state which constantly calls on in analyzing individuals faces, what they carry, what they wear, what sort of perfume they wear. And based on that we start associating that person either say oh it's alright is not all axes or rights even if you're writing such impressions we gather even though we may not be directly involved in anything at all, these are what we call useless impressions as we go on gathering. According to Newton, in a reaction in this case, psychological every thought or action has an equal and opposite reaction. It may be true in the physical world, but when it comes to inner rounds, action that we perform need not have equal reaction to it.

Either it may have zero reaction or it may, it can respond with infinite potential infinite demondo reaction to it How was someone is biasing towards when we are attracted to simple phenomena, a person is passing, but you're so attracted with, you remain bewildered by that person's personality. And you keep thinking about that person. This is the impression. This is how we gather this information. And this is how we form our destiny as well. So that's we see that sometimes we look at a person and fall in love instantly, or a lover once gives you such a look.

And then he said, Oh, wait, wait, is he looking at me like that? And you might say, Oh, I like this. What is this all based upon? subliminally influences that we carry in our consciousness. Recall these influences impressions or subscribers. So, here, when the cleaning process comes into picture, we like to perceive things as it is as real as it could be the help of cleaning process we are able to come to a inner state which will remain non judgmental, which is somehow a face the influence of certain impressions when we remove such an impact of memories when we unload ourselves from such emotional burden, which is what keeps us bound to a certain patterns of thoughts, perception, emotions and behavior.

This brings objectivity and clarity to our perceptions cleaning we need to remove these filters of impressions This is not just a psychological phenomenon. It also prevents over spiritual expansion because impressions represent a vibrational pattern in consciousness, which have become fixated. These implications are some scars settled down in the deepest layers of our subconscious. Well, they eventually called the soul. This separate us from the most essential element of our being. As we accumulate more and more of these impressions.

This network becomes denser. It starts to resemble the layers of that are defined in geological sedimentation. Like geology, it becomes a record of our past. The cleaning process frees us from What past and future So, we can design our own destiny. We react to certain things as it should be, again, like to sell with you an example, from Master Gardeners. This I know when I read a book as a man thinketh by James Allen he Guna he gives an example of a master gardener who sews the seeds well planned.

He executes his plan of proper gardening as well as wish he knows what to plant where, which, which wine, which tree. But if you don't care about proper planning, and if you let it happen, you know the weeds will go everywhere. In no time you'll have a chuckle a big forest Thoughts are all like that thoughts are like seeds. If we don't regulate our thoughts, they one day can turn into or chaotic life, the result would be a chaotic life which is beyond our control. zingle is our consciousness then conflicting ideas and conflicting emotions, desires, dislikes, our inner environment become so complex. So, cleaning helps us here, get rid of this scattered ideas based on our reactions and emotion, outbursts.

How to do this cleaning and when to do this cleaning. Once we go through the three sessions of this program, when we'll be able to exercise one's own will and say Yes, now I will be able to do this cleaning. In a capacity is given by stored through this process of meditation. Along with this transmission, one develops a certain capability of using one's own will to get rid of these impressions, how to do it? I'll walk you through the process. But formalities one is when to do cleaning.

Best time to do is when you come back home from these main work practices a pharmacist in New York City, usually I will return home by 8pm. So that's when I go to my basement where I would meditate usually, and sit comfortably and close my eyes into the cleaning. So I'll walk you through this process of cleaning Now
