Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
There is never a moment in your life when your subconscious mind is not guiding you, influencing you, trying to mold your life, but you are not attentive. You are too busy with your worldly problems.
Suppose you are in your apartment, and the radio in your apartment is going full blast, and somebody makes a gentle tapping at the door. Are you able to hear it? You are not. The telephone rings at the same time, but the radio is so powerful that you are not able to hear it at all. But still, the telephone is ringing, still somebody is tapping at the door. And so in a like manner, the tapping of the nature’s finer forces from your subconscious mind is going on all the time.
How can we then contact? And that is by quieting ourselves down. In this picture, I have told you that the arrows are going out to the conscious mind all the time, and a few arrows are only going in to the subconscious mind from the conscious mind, when you calm down and you are at peace with yourself, and away from the worldly burrs and confusion and tumult and problems.
One out of a thousand takes advantage of the inner self and the subconscious self. And that is because we do not know nature’s laws. We do not trust ourselves, and we do not know how to exploit ourselves and our finer forces that God has given, or which we have earned ourselves through our past incarnations.
And that is why, without faith, with toil and labor and toil and labor, and go round and round in circles, otherwise in reality, we can’t have help from our inner self in such a wonderful way.
And therefore, you have got the contact of the subconscious self within yourself, and it is an inheritance filled with alchemy and reservoir of magnetic nature, that will take you to the mountain, if you so desire, or it will bring the mountain to you – if you have become the magnet within your own mental, physical, spiritual, and soul consciousness self.

Philosopher, metaphysician, storyteller,

A discovery of fifty-year-old reel-to-reel audio tapes with spiritual, metaphysical, psychological, and scientific lectures by a wonderful Indian philosopher who was close friends with Gandhi, Yogananda, and other greats.
Filled with good advice for body, mind, soul, and spirit, powerful metaphysical truths for spiritual realization, and practical tools to help you manifest greater health, happiness, and personal evolution in your own life.
Maneck Anklesaria was born in India in 1899. At age 18, he worked with Mohandas Gandhi for several years, and again worked with Gandhi at age 30. Anklesaria studied at the University of Michigan, and spoke widely throughout the United States and the world for decades, sharing the spiritual wisdom of India with spiritual seekers and students, many of whom experienced great personal benefits from practicing the knowledge and suggestions he offered.
Maneck's content and speaking style is interesting, entertaining, charming, practical, spiritual and scientific, psychological and metaphysical, and applicable to one's own life and spiritual journey.
We have just begun the process of going through forty reel-to-reel tapes of Maneck's lectures from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and are sharing some excerpts here for the benefit of today's seekers who are looking for inspiring, practical, and authentic spiritual advice.
