Hello everyone, today we're going to explore yet another classical element to our practice. In order to be in tune with nature, we somehow need to adopt some of the principles which have governing various activities. For example, rising of the sun, sunset spring season also its activities flowering, one cycle. If we lead a life without any principle without any unguided pattern, it becomes quite chaotic. Take for example, one of the most famous experiment in the science, which is called Dr Paulos experiment with dogs where he trains dogs. What they call it is specific conditioning of a dog to a pattern that will fit fixed battle between his dogs to to take the meals, the call of a bell.

He trained him first he will ring the bell and offer food. So each time he would ring a bell dogs would come barking happily waiting for meals. They'd have their meals One day Dr. Paulo had a very naughty feeling a naughty idea. He rang the bell but he didn't sell food. What happened and dogs went on barking barking barking in the sleigh waiting profusely as simple conditioning can create such a physiological response in dog tick another example which I had, which I would like to sell with you. From my case studies as a pharmacist.

They were taught diabetes and many of the diseases in detail but especially diabetes. They gave an example of a mailman goes on daily. His routine is daily deliver the mail house to house and perhaps it would be walking windows for miles five miles every day and fine day after serving the government for so many years, he was retired. before retirement, he had to go for physical. His examination was done perfectly declared and perfect happens. Six months later, he returns to the same doctor for yet another examination and his blood report.

So class two diabetes. A person who was declared six months back just before retirement You know, there's just a startling difference between his in his health pattern or six months. He didn't do anything but became a cop. Put it on watching TV and things that he missed out during his working days. So, the system the physical system physiological system which was in routine in a rhythm was disturbed. Now all of a sudden you become a couch potato change of lifestyle.

And immediate response was escalation in blood sugar low. Insulin was enough, yet insulin was not able to reduce the blood sugar content. Because the cells, the body cells, they went on consuming certain fixed amount of glucose because of his daily activities when he was an active person at duty, consume certain calories all of a sudden, that consumption came to an act. So body responds differently. So, rhythm is important all of a sudden when we change something, at a physiological level, we suffer a lot. Some of the readings can be observed and monitored, most readings go unnoticed.

Imagine a lifestyle of a person who has no rhythm at all doing things whenever such a labor would be chaotic. So, when we adopt certain principles, especially trying to balance something and one who is trying to embark upon an inner adventure, I think it is no less than having a discipline that one would have been would demand in mountain climbing. For example, if you're Planning for Everest climbing. Imagine the amount of discipline you would have to have at a physical level. Such a discipline is I would say mandatory for a spiritual seeker but did not resort visit. At the same time, let's see if I plan myself to meditate 630 every morning it's good to meditate 630 every morning but let's say you happen to wake up late or whatever reasons and say now you're going to meditate at eight o'clock.

So let it be so, for some time, you might even meditate at five in the morning. So certain level of flexibility is okay. But this need to meditate. So always continue once we established this particular rhythm It becomes a kind of conditional thing that at certain time your mood will elicit certain feelings okay time to meditate. So, this is what I call automatically at a fixed hour, you tend to meditate, your inner system says Oh, let me meditate now. This is what I would like to call it as automatic ism.

Also automatically when we'll be able to bring in recall a certain meditative state. This takes quite a practice actually. And it is possible to recall any spiritual state at will the second element of our practice is cleaning it up ideal time for cleaning as soon as we enter home complete this process of cleaning which is done at the end of our working, working day, into the mingling with family right away, freshen up and clean ourselves so that we gain lighter consciousness which is more friendly, more conducive, which is not emotionally pressurized because of the work situation. It's such a fresh approach with a lighter approach. When we interact with our family members. It's a joyous moment.

Let us compare this moment of cleaning. Suppose if you don't do the cleaning, it is something like when you go to a gym and come back home, all sweaty and you want to hug little children, they would run away from you that you smell a lot today. When the consciousness is also polluted from inside, I think we also cast certain shadow consciousness upon our loved ones. For example, if you had a bad day at work, and you come home all fuming, you can see that most of it in the house how everyone would become quiet. Instead of that if you can go to your basement, in your room and just do the cleaning, okay? Let's get rid of this baggage and freshen up yourself with the new level of better consciousness and then interact with family members.

It only promotes harmony, low joy before going to bed again. When we offer prayer, and just before we offer a prayer, let's scan through the daily activity and see where we went wrong. When we can adjust ourselves whether we can correct ourselves when we can fine tune ourselves and say, Oh, I could have done this better. Or I shall not repeat this again. That's it resolve will help us. So that continuously, we can go on putting a check on wrong things and add something very special, that or I can improve myself in such and such a style.

Then we offer a prayer to the Lord and said, My Lord, forgive me for all that was done wrongly, I shall not to eat again. Some people so, such a resolve will go a long way and remind ourselves to display also that, my Lord You are the goal of human life. We are yet but slaves of wishes. Putting bar to our advancement Now are the only God and power to bring us up to that stage. And when we analyze these words Little by little, it will convey to our heart, a lot of profound meaning behind it, why each word is utilize in its own sequence. The purpose behind it, to spike your heart in a very, very moving way.

It elicits and invokes the presence of the Lord and are hard to recognize it also that this one's from above. It's a state of mind with such a grateful heart. When we peacefully go to sleep, and blessing the Lord in or go to sleep and see the nature of sleep at that time. When you wake up Get ready again from morning meditation. And after meditation again, hold on this meditative state as long as you can. And then go out into the world and perform the duties that we are asked to.

This daily routine will change the quality of our life once and for all at times, despite of doing all this practices regularly, the competent treat them there will be times when we say oh, I don't feel like meditating today. It's okay. Sometimes you say Oh, no need to clean today. It's alright. But demand the best out of yourself. Is it all right for you?

God is not here to punish us. Needs And all this thing as they say they conspire together to help us evolve faster. So when we miss out something, don't be so hard on yourself. Morning meditation is missed. It's okay. While you're going in the train or the bus, recollect one of your best meditative experiences and we went with it.

It would also help. When you think that all unable to meditate, it's a sign the sign that you have this kind of a barrier and you are not able to cross it on your own. I would call it a barrier in consciousness. This is different from what The barriers that we face in day to day life, it has nothing to do with laziness. There's nothing to do with dislike, or meditation because when we made it to the Hello, it always, yet there are moments when you don't feel like meditating. Because as I feel that years of observation has taught me one thing, that a person who loves to meditate all of a sudden after two, three months of enjoying meditation, all of a sudden said, Oh, I don't feel like meditating.

And if this trend continues, that means you have reached some level of plateau or a barrier, which was be crossed. besting under those circumstances would be to use one of those apps. Let's Veritate app and connect with the trainer that you can sit remotely with the trainer You can actually ask a face to face meditate meditation session, so that this barrier can be removed. You will learn all the time that vices barrier. So there are many barriers in our system at each level. And who created those barriers?

What is the nature of barriers and how we can cross them? What is the consciousness level at each barrier? I think we will take up this topic in our next series of talks. But solution is this, that whenever you don't feel like meditating, it's time to get in touch with the trainer either to the apps or directly you can meet this person face to face meditation session. So this this barrier can be crossed easily. Then after I show you your journey again We'll start smoothly, and you'll start enjoying until another value of cups.

There will be many barriers on the way. And it's very as we cross each barrier. We'll be gaining more and more explanation of consciousness is again a matter of experience, how when we struggle and cross certain barriers on our own, the New Horizons open up. It's a beautiful experience to undergo. I wish you come across it's a barrier as quickly as possible. And good luck to you all.

I would like you to walk you through today, relaxation and meditation. So if you're ready some to begin Okay that's it.
