the discrepancies in the scriptural texts of various religions. He who has an access
to the inner fountainhead of the life and spirit of all these texts, which of course is
common to all men, with his first-hand inner knowledge, makes things easily
intelligible to us all in a way simple enough both for himself and for us.
In the company of a Saint, it is said, God comes nearer to man, for God Himself
speaks through him. As we all are scripture-bound in one way or the other, the
Master takes full advantage of these different scriptures which come in handy to
him as aids in his work of spiritual regeneration to lead different types of people
aright along the line of least resistance in each case.
A Murshid-e-Kamil is not content with imparting mere theoretical knowledge.
He gives a practical demonstration of what he says and therein lies his greatness.
One who cannot grant on soul-level some actual experience of what he asserts on
the level of the intellect, is not a Master in the true sense of the word and his
words cannot carry weight and conviction.
A Satguru is verily Truth personified, God in the garb of man. His mission is to
lead human souls to the True Home of His Father (Sat or Truth) called Sach

Mystery of Death - What After Death?
Khand or the abode of Truth, the first Grand Division that came into being by His
Will and hence the region of pure Spirit, eternal and indestructible.
The Path of the Masters is a grand road leading from merely physical material
world to the purely spiritual realm, beyond all duality and pairings of opposites.
The Satguru says:
Move ye in the vast sea of Light substance,
In your hearts is your perfection.
Go on, and on and on, until there is not a vestige of the human
left.
The Light substance knows no limit.
His is the path not of hells and heavens, nor of toils and sorrows, but one of
flowery boulevard 'studded with heavenly lights and soul-stirring strains of Divine
Harmonies;' and above all, He himself as an unfailing friend and an unerring guide
comes, in all his glory in full radiance, and accompanies the pilgrim-soul into the
great Beyond, instructing in the life of spirit, as he proceeds along, explaining the
beauties and mysteries of the way, guarding against pitfalls and warning us of the
sharp turns and twists that lie en route.
The disciple, from the very beginning is taught how to withdraw from the body
and rise above body-consciousness into higher regions. The inner man is to draw
himself from his coarse bodily encasement, as a hair is drawn out of butter; for it
is the soul in the 'luciform body' to use the Neo-Platonist phraseology, that rises to
find the Self. Mandukopnishad tells us:
Not grasped by the eye, nor by speech, nor by the gods (senses),
nor by austerity, nor by religious rites and rituals and
ceremonies,
but by serene wisdom, the pure essence doth see the Partless
One in meditation.
So do the western scholars say:

Mystery of Death - What After Death?
True happiness never comes through the avenue of senses
as it lies beyond the senses. Boundless joy can be ours,
only if we know how to rise above the senses
and catch the sublime vision which comes to the pure.
'The divine wisdom, in short, is at once the Science and Art of soul and only a
Theocentric Saint, well-versed in both, can solve for us the riddle of life and death
by giving us a first-hand experience of 'death-in-life', thereby demonstrating
beyond the least shadow of doubt:
Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within us.
What has life and death to do with Light? In the image of My
Light,
I have made you. The relativities of life and death belong to
the cosmic dream.
Behold your dreamless being.
Creation is light and shadow both, else no picture is possible.
The darkness grows luminous and the void becomes fruitful
only when you will understand that you are nothing. It is only at
the
Mount of Transfiguration that you will get revelation and see
the mingling of heaven and earth.
To worship Perfection is the highest education in life, and only a Perfect one
can, by transmitting his own life-impulse, release the soul from its trammels of
mind and matter and grant a vision of the sublime Reality. He who can, at the very [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
