Before this occurrence , where is mind ? What is its seat ? There are
two big centres.(Here Master demonstrated the place of mind and ‘’Real
I AM’’. He located the mind in the head). Here is the mind.(He had
shown the head). Here is the heart or the place of real ‘’I AM’’ .
This ( head) is the place of false ‘I AM’ .you can call it negative ‘I
am’.You can call the other,positive ‘I AM’.The latter is real ‘You and
the former is you that became mind.Even while you are in sleep,He (The
Real ‘I AM’) is working. If not, you will die at once after you go
into sleep.(Master here gave a clarification about heart i.e.,physical
heart and the real heart).Physical heart is the seat where Mr.Heart
exists.(laugh) physical heart and this Mr.Heart are different from
each other.Mr.Heart is the Lord existing in the heart.He is the real
‘I AM’ .Gradually this fellow mind (false I am)begins to travel here
because lungs are here, the respiration is taking place here, this
fellow minds begins to travel here gradually.Previously when this
fellow(mind) was sleeping,this fellow(Real I AM) was working.So when
we are waking up, this fellow(Real I AM ) is working.We think we are
working here. ‘We’ means ‘mind’ until we practice everything in
Yoga.If we say, I am going,I am thinking,I am waking up, I am studing,
have passed post-graduation, I am doing job,I am giving birth to
children, all this is being done by mind,but not by us.This(mind) is
not the Real I AM.This mind is false I am.This is Secretary of the
Real  ‘’I AM’’ .But he is acting as if he is the proprietor of the
whole estate all these days.Indeed,all this property, belongs to Him,
the Real I  AM who is seated here. (in the heart).He, the owner of all
this estate,viz., the Real I AM has appointed the mind, seated in the
head as His secretary.This fellow, the secretary is making up believe
for all these days that he is the proprietor of this estate though he
is not the proprietor at all.Hence, what is tobe done with him at
first ? So the service of the mind should not be terminated but should
be suspended.(Laugh).To make this fellow work properly is required .It
is befitted us.It is not befitting to remove him from service.

Some people say that  we have to concentrate the mind. People spend
tens of years and die in their own efforts because the process is
false, You can never concentrate the mind,never try to do it.Lord
Krishna says, ‘asam sayo mahabaho mano durngraham chalam’-‘No doubt,
never believe that the mind can be controlled’.It is always moving.The
principle of mind is movement.Movement cannotbe made static.So don’t
try to concentrate the mind.It is a false process.You will die in the
process.If so, what to do?Instead of trying to concentrate the mind,
relax the mind by bringing it here.(The heart centre).Call it here.Let
it observe the movements of the respiration. So Yajurveda should be
brought to Samaveda.There may be many schools of thought on this
subject.But this is the original school.Sobring Yajurveda to
Samaveda.Then gradually respiration  should be equalized.Because you
are having many inequalities in respiration,it is non-rhythmic.By
birth, it is regular and rhythmic. By birth, respiration is
normal.Every disturbance we create in the emotional plane, disturb
thousand times.We have spent many tens of years till now and our
respiration is among tensions.It is disturbed.So we have to establish
rhythm again. Now what is to be done with this ?It is to be
equalized.Disturbance has been brought out by un natural
caused.Naturally there is no disturbance.Rhythm is natural.We have to
find  out the rate of heart-beat, when it is regular and also when it
is irregular. We are natural.The above said conditions are unnatural.
We have to get liberated from these unnatural conditions.That is why
we have taken up this subject,having come all the way.To be composed
is natural.To be disturbed is unnatural. It is automatic,we proposed
to disturb ourselves.So if we still believe that the disturbance is
natural,we need not come to Seeleru,or Paderu or Mothrgudem.We can be
in Vsakhapatnam itself.We disturbing the natural condition.

And also we see many examples of persons who live in the very busy
world in which we are living, but who still live a poised life.So it
proves that it is natural and what we experience is self-made.So
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda lived amongst us.At
present, we have Swami Ranganadhananda amongst us.Thier heart-beat, if
had been examined would have been found normal.There would be no B.P.,
with them.So also, Sri Ramana Maharshi was there. He lived in the same
world.His heart –beat etc., were normal.Therefore, it proves that all
these disturbances are self made and they are not true.As such, what
have we to do ? We have to make the respiration regular

I will tell you how to make the respiration even, regular and
rhythmic.Being to breathe slow, soft and uniform.Breath in as much as
you can, with out any discomfort. Then bring out slow, soft and in a
uniform way, with the same speed,so softly that you should not listen
to the sound of your own breath or respiration.This process you do as
slow as possible,with out discomfort.Gradually you will get mastery.At
the same time,you should be observing your own respiration with your
mind .If your mind is wandering some where, the whole experiment is a
waste.

Neurralise the pulsations, centripetal and centrifugal, viz . , Prana
and Apana .Stabilise the path of pulsation and enter into the poise of
breath.Bring mind to heart by thinking if the heart.There is no
Kumbhaka business in Patanjali and Bhagavadgita.That is,breathing the
air and stopping it tight and such nasty procedures are not taught in
the office of these two text books of Yoga.Take the breathe in, calmly
as far as possible i.e. , within your limits, in one stream and
breathe out in the same way.During this process,let  the breath not
move.Such respiration you should do continuously and observe the
lights.This is what is required.The purpose of Yoga practice is
instead of living like a conditioned fool living as the Lord of all
these .i.e ., Lord of mind, Lord of senses,Lord of Buddhi etc.
