Christmas Morning
Today Christ’s Light is cast upon the brow of every living creature from Nation to Nation, No High, No Low, No Rich, No Poor, No Muslim, No Jew, No Christian, No Sikh.
We all remain as His precious Children of Light, for He created all of Creation by casting a Single Glance upon the material world and sending forth His Life Breath into the bowels of creation that out of His Light, a Drama of Creation may arise in order that He may become Glorified and His Name exalted above all things High and Low.
By His Name we have assembled and by His Name, we have been given this blessed opportunity of the Human Birth so that we can do His Devotion, and learn that technique through which we our selves MERGE with the Light and Sound which is within us and which is able to draw our Soul to the back to the eyes between the two eyebrows which is called Tisra Til, the seat of the Soul.
When the God Almighty created this material creation, He Himself placed Himself where no one would be able to find Him unless they were shown by One who Himself has learned the Secret of how to Meet God face to face, and Merge Back into His Form which remains True far beyond the realms of time and matter.
That place where God Himself Dwells is in fact INSIDE this human form.
This Human Form was cast by the hand of the Creator for the very special purpose of allowing a soul which is a drop of the ocean of all consciousness to return to the Source of Creation whose Home is Eternal beyond the Sky.
This place is a very Real place and is in fact much MORE real than this material creation which is called Maya or Illusion, for nothing here remains for all time to come, and sooner or later, all must die no matter what outer form of religion one may have been born into.
No matter how much one might believe that they are to remain here forever, science definitely proves that death is inevitable.
This is true even for Yogis who dwell far above material man in caves high in the mountains or under the ocean (where sometimes they may even dwell hidden for thousands of years without barely aging by controlling the pranas or “life-breaths” contained within the 5 elements which regulate the distribution of energy and current throughout all places within the bounds of material nature).
But even this life-breath said to have reached its limit in the quintessential 5th element which we call aether or akasha and which is more suble than air; but still even this (akash) is within the grasp of those who are trained to work with these forces by the adepts of the Schools of yesteryear and in the ages past where such practices were prominent in society and responsible for the very long lifespans which we read about from time to time in the old writings and scriptures.
Before the collapse of the Copper Age or “Dwapara Yuga” as the Indian Scriptures recount, man lived upwards of 1,000 years having practiced the Yogas taught by the great Rishis and Munis of that time who were considered Learned Men only after studying the Holy Vedas and Upanishads which sprung forth from the Ancient Sanscrit language and given only in Spoken Form for many thousands of generations until Deva Nagari (the letters of the Gods used to depict the Sanscrit language in written form) was used to transcribe those Holy Sounds first gathered by the 7 Rishis atop the Most Ancient of Himalayan peaks at the Dawn of Creation after being “HEARD” by the Most Wise of Men and thereafter “Spoken” mouth to ear so as to transmit the Secret of the Structure of God’s Creation and its various Universes and Planetary Gods which allow cycles of life to be cast into form for the fulfillment of the Plan of Creation and the Glorification of the Transcendental Personality of Godhead whom the Vedas describe as Das Narayana, the “Servent of God from Beyond material creation”.
But as Kabir, the First Saint (who is said to have come once in each of the 4 Ages) has once spoken; even the Creator, the Maintainer, and the Destroyer are but prisoners of Kal (Time, The Negative Power) who continually eats his own young and does not allow that they should ever leave the boundaries of his own dominion over time and space.
This Negative Power is responsible for all the suffering which is so prevelant in the world, and from time to time, the Lord Himself sends Incarnations or Avatars out of Himself to check powers of this Earth whenever the Jivas (incarnate souls) cry for release from the terrible sufferings they are subjected to undergo by cruel Kal, the Butcher.
It is only because of the supreme Mercy of the Almighty Lord that He sends His own Sons into the world not only to punish the sinners and reward the virtuous and re-establish earthly Kingdoms where Peace and Justice Rule on earth as in the heavens alike, but They are also sent to earth to grant Liberation and Salvation to those souls who wish to Return to the Father never again to return to this material creation by connecting them with his Holy Name which the Saints call Naam or Word.
This Naam or Word is also called Logos by the Greeks as it is the “Divine Proportion” as well as the Source, Course, and Goal of all creation. Pythagoras termed it “Music of the Spheres” which the Saints of modern India have coined as “Shabd”, the Celestial Sound Current or Audible Life Stream.
With the help of a Saint or Mystic, the soul of a sincere Seeker is made to Sit and Listen to this Shabd by closing the outer eyes and ears and going to that place from whence the Sound is coming which is the place behind the two eyes at the Seat of the Soul, Tisra Til, the 3rd Eye.
This is the Place within the Human Body (Temple of God Almighty) where God Himself is said to reside in fullness, and by going to a Saint or Perfect Master who is in fact “Word Made Flesh”, one may become directly connected with this Naam by repeating the Holy Names given to a disciple of a perfect Master at the time of his or her initiation in to Surat Shabd Yoga, the Science of Uniting the Attention of the Soul unto the Celestial Sound which is drawn all the way back to the Source of Creation and into the Beyond were Truth and Beauty prevail as they always have from now and forevermore.
Most Blessed are the Souls who get the Human Birth, for it is the Highest in creation and only granted as a special boon from the Lord Himself so that the soul may finally have an opportunity to meet Him and Merge with Him after returning to the Eternal Home, Sach Khand (Realm of Truth) which is beyond the 4th plane of Creation and never subject to birth, death, or destruction where the Hansas (pure Liberated Souls) drink the Nectar of Immortality and live in perpetual ecstasy being always at One and Merged with the Beloved in His Palace of Love which floats upon the Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) throughout Eternity always expanding.
Only by meeting the Param Sant Satguru or True and Perfect Master Saint and by bowing ones head in love and humility, surrendering oneself in body, mind, and spirit unto that Lord God Almighty in Human Form can one even begin to become free from the shackles of mind and matter and prepare for ones journey into the realms of spirit, for the body of a Master is not made of 5 elements like our own, but is completely cast in the Form of Shabd and only APPEARS to be made of flesh and bone.
In truth, The Saint dwells beyond the limitations of mind and matter and only appears before US as such due to His unending Mercy and Compassion for those souls stuck inside material creation and who are crying day and night for release from the clutches of Kal, longing to return Home.
For this reason, the Satguru comes in the Form of Saints, and these Saints are in fact the Original Sons of Sat-Purush sent into this material creation to collect those Jivas ripe for Salvation, whereas at the end of any age, the Souls are made to account for their own deeds (whether good or bad), and Avatars (incarnations of the OUTER form of Shabd) are sent into this world to affect this very end and finish all the accounts of all the worldly karmas of give and take so that the stage is made fresh for a new Act in the Cosmic Drama of Creation, and Kal’s Universe can continue to exist without having to be drawn back into Source as it is at the very end of every creation cycle where ALL of material matter returns back to that State where Nothing is said to exist, for all Matter becomes enveloped in the top of the Void Plane and cycles in and out of creation as a matter of divine “Hukam” or Will each time the Creator wishes to re-create this material world in the manner which He most enjoins.
Since it is by His Grace which we have been given this chance to do His Devotion and to sing His Praises which are going on throughout Eternity in the Beyond, we ought to use this precious time wisely, for one does not get the human birth again and again, but is made to suffer on all accounts of their thoughts, words, and actions whether good or bad in terms of perfect Justice which is the Law of the lower planes of creation and not subject to any alteration or discursion from this Nature’s own course to find Balance within Herself.
So it behooves us to Clasp to the Feet of one who Himself sits far beyond the clutches of mind and matter and who has Himself united ALL of his attention back to that Place from whence First Sprung up that Biblical Injunction, “Let There Be Light, and there WAS LIGHT!” for that Light was in existence previous to its outward expression in terms of Space, Time, Motion, and Energy.
The Masters have always come in every age to teach this Science of the Soul and have had their methods described by the past Sages of both Eastern AND Western schools of Initiation such as those in Ancient Greece and Egypt which short of speaking openly and about the Mysteries of Life and Death rather chose to conceal their Teachings behind symbols and metaphors for fear of being misunderstood and / or violently suppressed or killed by the ignorant men of their times who mistook them for ones who would challenge or usurp their worldly powers away from them.
And so it was FORBIDDEN to speak on matters of what Truth Lies beyond the flesh which can in fact be KNOWN to man, for the knowledge of the Beyond meant the knowledge of the Truth of the Soul’s Immortality, and such notions have always been deemed as dangerous to those who would seek Knowledge only as a means to overpower and suppress others for their own selfish and material ends, forgetting that someday THEY TOO MUST DIE and account for all the wicked deeds done against the pure and innocent souls in search of Truth; for while many martyrs are sent to the gates of heaven where they remain for a time in relative peace and comfort as a reward for their sufferings and patience below, there are also many kings and tyrants who are made to suffer for many long ages and epicycles in the “hells” for having been given the precious human birth and having wasted it in the sin of the vain pursuit of power, pleasure, name, fame, or family prestige which though short-lived by every aspiring Overlord remains a stain upon their soul for many long ages as they pass in and out of the lower bodies and lower forms of creation within the cycle of birth and death until by the Grace and Mercy of God Himself, some Saint or Master takes pity on them and cries to God on their behalf which is the only way they can ever be granted freedom, for the Lord always listens to the cries of His devotees while the cries of the forgetful souls goes unanswered and unheard although it may echo throughout the halls of time for many long ages.
Let us gather together in this our very precious human life and understand it as a Golden Opportunity to Meet God Almighty face to face by connecting with that Shabd within only after meeting a Perfect Saint or Master who is Himself God’s True and Perfect representative here on earth, and in fact remains True and Perfect while here in the body, but also remains True and Perfect in the Higher Planes of Creation having been taught the Secret of Shabd Yoga from the Satguru Himself who never remains attached to anything of the 3 worlds below, but always remains Pure and unsullied in the Shabd Form of the Master Power which connects each and every Soul unto Himself whenever He likes, and Himself takes them back to their True Home by making them Meditate on Naam and go within to the Kingdom of Heaven placed within this Temple of the Man-Body and in equal like manner the Woman-Body which is His counter opposite only within the duality of Nature, but which after reaching that Place where the God-Almighty resides, there is no longer any distinction in terms of male or female or any other distinction for that manner, for ALL of this Creation was made out of One Light.
Giving up the “Me and Mine”, let US do the “Thine Thine” for in this way, we will become pleasing in the sight of the Satguru, our Lord, and He will in turn give us a Place at His Holy Lotus Feet where we may Serve Him in love and tender Grace for All times to Come.
Hail the Light and Blessed Be!
May we become pure and perfect in the Eyes of Lord Sant Sadhu Ram ji Maharaj, the Radha Swami of every caste, creed, race, religion, insect, bird, reptile, fish, mammal, man and woman.
Let US weep at the Door of the Master, perhaps He will take pity on us and Take US across.
