Through unique knowledge and union with the Supreme, the body ego is transcended and we reach the peak of our own latent powers of love, purity, light and might. By Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj ji
As per the primary laws of cosmic change, the outward condition of the world reflects the inward condition of the souls who reside therein. So, as long as souls remain pure and unpolluted, free of negativity, nature remains unpolluted; soul is benign, nature is benign; as masters of ourselves, we become masters of the world in which we live.
However, in the headlong rush for material gain, knowledge of who we are and the resulting self-mastery have been utterly lost. As a result, we have misunderstood our eternal relationship with nature and with God. In our pride of scientific achievement, we have forgotten the laws of the universe, which we transgress only at our peril. Over a hundred years ago, Henry David Thoreau noted the link between mental and physical environment. He noted, “The mass of men leads lives of quiet desperation.” We are mortal or so we think. However the fact is that we are not mortal after all because in reality we are souls, non-material units of consciousness, and our bodies are simple temporary earthenware costumes. But as we proceeded through the play of time, adopting one material puppet after another, we lost our right understanding. The puppet hypnotised the puppeteer. We became attracted physically to other bodies and our minds became polluted with body consciousness.
Another law of cosmic change is “attraction produces repulsion.” Following this law, our initial unity and harmony turned into fragmentation and dissonance. As we grew apart psychologically, the earth we walked on broke apart. The continents, afloat on their tectonic plates, split away from the central mass of the earth . The various cultures sprang up and concomitantly the various religions of the world. In theory, each group made peace its yearning and love its theory of human relationship. Yet the practice of each was prejudice and pride.
A concept of God and a belief in reward and retribution remained and served to hold the advancing negativity in check. Once God was discarded and Truth defamed, universal ethics replaced by relativism and perfection immolated as a personal ideal, the human family was hopelessly broken into shards of selfishness. With the fall from soul-consciousness, we fell, through the trap door of history and and now we have reached rock bottom.
But yet, even in this darkest hour, secret forces are at work to help us salvage from this situation. Powerful of all are channelising the energy of purity into the material world. Man is now incredibly close to the greatest changes ever witnessed. To witness these changes with the safety of understanding means that we must question many of our accepted theories and be prepared to accept that which seems to provide greater clarity. Through Rajyoga, through unique knowledge and union with the Supreme, the body ego is transcended and we reach the peak of our own long latent powers of love, purity, light and might.
In the same way that the forces of good and evil become fully polarised, the metaphysical is about to be separated from its physical surrounds for a brief period of change and renewal. By changing our own mental environment, we shall change the face of the earth, which in turn shall give birth to a new society, technologically advanced, yet also completely and divinely virtuous; a paradise of endless happiness. We have arrived at the end, which is the new beginning. All we need to do now is become pure and walk on the path of planetary transformation. Are you readyIJ
