AVATAR MEHER BABA

Divine love is qualitatively different from human love. Human love is for the many in the One, and divine love is for the One in the many.

Human love leads to innumerable complications, but divine love leads to freedom.

In divine love the personal and impersonal aspects are equally balanced, but in human love the two aspects are in alternating ascendancy.

Human love in its personal and impersonal aspects is limited, but divine love with its fusion of the personal and impersonal aspects is infinite in being and expression.

Nag Hamadi Scroll

 

Where is the Temple or Church? "If you look at the word Church it tells you who is in the middle of it. Ch..UR..ch. You are the center of the Church and Temple. Your body is the dwelling place of God, not a outer building.  It is time to re-claim our temple." - Lisa Rising Berry

1 Corinthians 6:19 Your body Is The Temple

1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God.

Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you.

Acts 7:48 The Most High dwells in temples not made with hands. "The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you,

Not in a mansion of wood and stone.

Split a piece of wood and God is there,

Lift a stone and you will find God."

Papaji

Sages declare that freedom can be attained instantly, but in most cases all enquiry into the Self takes time to mature.

Everything is in the enquiry and the enquiry has to be ripe before freedom is attained.

Even before the creation of the universe when there was nothing else but consciousness, a will to manifest the universe rose up from consciousness.

That very will is responsible for all that you see now. Instantly, the whole universe was created by the will,

"Let me be multiplied",

and it was multiplied.

Consciousness was transmitted into this will and this will is contained in this very instant. This will is in the whole of the manifestation, including all individuals.

So what is this will which has created the universe and is responsible for everything? It is dwelling in the hearts of each being. This will to create everything has risen from consciousness and this same will can and will return to its Source. Although this will, this instant, this manifestation, this appearance rises from consciousness, it abides within consciousness for Eternity.

But because there is another strong will within the mind to indulge in the illusion of bodily and worldly affairs, it is kept hidden. The result is that you become what you will and you see what you think.

We don't like to suffer because we have already seen eternal happiness, therefore we know that we can avoid sufferin .So that will,

which is the Source of all creation,

is a very mature will when it wills to return home. It takes time for this will to rise up.

When you stop thinking of other things apart from returning home, you will eventually return home.

You have to be fully devoted to the Self, you have to honour the Self and you have to work for it in the beginning.

Then you will finally attain eternal rest.

It is all in your own hands.

RAMAKANT/ULT/22 Ramakant Maharaj Teachings

You must find this out. You can discriminate, and separate illusion, from Reality because you are a Master. You are your own Master, the architect of your own life. You are the decision- maker .You don’t have any connection with this world, and you don’t have any connection with spiritual knowledge. All the requirements, all the needs, absolutely everything, is body-related. The world is an illusion. You are Reality – Formless You! Sift through all the illusion, and discard it. Learn to discriminate and discern.Who wants peace? Who wants happiness? We need happiness, bliss, a peaceful and tension-free life, all because we are considering ourselves as body-forms. And basically, we are formless. There is no birth, no death, no destiny, no heaven no hell. There is nothing there. To emerge from all the illusion, drop each and every concept, and loosen your attachments to the body form.Don’t struggle with the mind. Don’t struggle with anyone else. Be tolerant! Tolerance is a sign of living the spiritual life. Forgive and forget! Have strong courage to accept Reality.The mind is only a manufacturer of thoughts. The intellect makes a decision, and the ego implements it. It is okay, it is just the bodily functions, but you are separate from all that. You are totally different from that. You are the Master of the mind, ego and intellect. So, start behaving like a Master, instead of a slave.When your illusory knowledge has dissolved, whatever arises, will not cause you any problems, because by then, you will be invincible. You will be super-tolerant, super-courageous. The mind is separate from you. Your Reality is separate from the seen. Your Reality is invisible. You are a Master. Act like a Master!

Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.”

Ashtavakra Gita

“Your real nature is one perfect, free, and actionless consciousness, the all-pervading, unattached to anything, desireless, at peace. It appears through illusion as the world. Knowing that all this is an illusion, one becomes free from desire, pure receptivity and at peace, as if nothing existed.”

- Kabir

 " My body is flooded With the Flame of Love. My Soul lives in a furnace of Bliss. " - Kabir

Chapter 25, Autobiography of a Yogi.

 

Sri Yukteswar smiled,.

" There is a deeper astrology, not dependent on the testimony of calendars and clocks. Each man is a part of the Creator, or Cosmic Man; he has a heavenly body as well as one of earth. The human eye sees the physical form, but the inner eye penetrates more profoundly, even to the universal pattern of which each man is an integral and individual part".
