. . Mental acrobatics or tortuous, complicated philosophical gymnastics are not required in ECK. Nor is there any necessity for a chela to pore for hours over a page or an extract from some book or writings in order to grasp what the author means. The ECKist needs none of this. The truth of God is too simple for the seeker after complexity, looking for things he cannot understand. The intellect creates its own problems and then makes itself miserable trying to solve them. Truth always express itself with the greatest simplicity.

. . This life is all about learning lessons, our own and from those of others. Soul is like a letter. The envelope that Soul comes in is the human body, and the address reads: "To Earth." The return address: "From Heaven." The whole point about this special mailing is the letter, Soul, and hardly the envelope.
. From heaven we came, and to heaven we do return. There is no doubt we will gather experiences. That goes with the turf. The question is, how much will we gain from them?
. Do we have more understanding? How about more compassion or love?
. No matter, for we get sent back here until we get our lessons right. There is no hurry. It is up to us to decide how quickly we wish to progress. Heaven certainly does not care. We each determine our own timetable. That is the whole of it, in spite of what other religions teach.
. You are the letter; your body, the envelope.

mr benodic you and mr obi,you both are doing a great job here enlightening people on eck and and spirituality.i lie the fact that theres no need for debate or constant persuading on eck doctrines
i have a lot of questions for you,but i hope you answer these ones for now

1 this eckankar of a religion seems too simplistic....all we have to do is sing HU.why dont we have eck churches that easily accessible and close to our local vicinities.isnt there any tenets to follow and a kind of holy book to feed our minds constantly.i dnt want to believe by just singing HU we are 'covered'

2 what does eckankar say about issues of today like terrorism,corruption,sexuality,violence,war,perversions etc.down to current societal trends like being forced to get married and staying married,education,working,having children or not... is there a moralistic creed in eckankar.shudnt everybody give life just as life was given to us

3 pls exxplain in detail that 'our experiences today is training for tomorrow'. mans inhumanity to man is heart wrenching,does eckankar just want us to go on with life despite the wicked deeds and suffering meted out to a fellow man by another....without seeking justice and/vindication

thanks

Eckankar is very simple just like truth is very simple. it is the mind of man that likes creating coomplexities where there are really none. The HU is the first step that links you up to the divinity that lies within you and once the link up is done, your journey back home begins. It is that simple.
there are many Eckankar centres doted accross the globe and the addresses can be found in the website eckankar.org and you scroll down to your region. you may be surprised that there is an ECK centre near your vicinity which you are not aware of.

we have a Holy book and the laws of life are there for you to follow but nobody puts a gun to your head to follow them. you learn about them through your experiences in life. these experiences makes you a knower and not just a believer.

why the HU is so important as i said earlier is that it links you up to the Holy spirit which of course will lead you to all truth and will enable you to understand whatever you read in the Holy books.




2 what does eckankar say about issues of today like terrorism,corruption,sexuality,violence,war,perversions etc.down to current societal trends like being forced to get married and staying married,education,working,having children or not... is there a moralistic creed in eckankar.shudnt everybody give life just as life was given to us

everything is in its rightful place and everything is as it should be. the lower worlds were created as schools for soul and in the midst of the chaos that engulf soul on earth, it learns its lessons and matures spiritually. without all these negativities and chaos, soul will never grow. just like gold has to be dug out from the bowels of the earth and put through fire to purifiy, soul also has to undergo the same process for its innate qualities to be expressed. as an Eckist you have to rise above the social issues of the day and focus on the spiritual lessons that it brings and move on with your life, giving service in any way you can. Eckankar does not deal with moralistic creed but as you grow spiritually you naturally become more ethical in your dealings in life. most of these issues are dealt with individually as the case presents itself under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which we know as the ECK.

3 pls exxplain in detail that 'our experiences today is training for tomorrow'. mans inhumanity to man is heart wrenching,does eckankar just want us to go on with life despite the wicked deeds and suffering meted out to a fellow man by another....without seeking justice and/vindication

whether you seek justice or not, justice will always be served to the unjust and wicked. God has put down universal laws that take care of everything. that is why i said that everything is as it should be. God can not be mocked or deceived. it sees everything and knows everything. your own part in the game of life is to learn your own spiritual lessons in whatever experience that comes your way and move on with your spiritual growth. you should not concern yourself about the wicked and ungodly people that subject others to all kinds of atrocities rather you should even have compassion for them for they know not what awaits them.
most of the injustices you are seeing today did not start in this life time. some spans lifetimes. the HU will enable you to see beyound the illusion of injustice and see the divine drama of life being played out. just pick the spiritual lessons there and move on. whatever it is that you are going through today is actually preparing you for an area of service tomorrow. you may not see it now but in due time, you will.

thanks

you are always welcome. feel free to ask any question that bothers you and i will always contribute my little quota.

in Eckankar, we don't give people fish but rather we teach them how to fish. if we keep giving you fish, you become dependent on your fellow soul and will not bother developing your own innate qualities which you also have as soul a spark of God.

since you love the man this should be easy as love transcends the borders of death. of course soul does not die, it only drops the physical body and moves into another level of existence.

so this is a good opportunity to put the ECK teachings to the test. before you sleep at night, sing the HU for 15 to 20 minutes as much as you can carry. send thoughts of love to your friend and tell him that you will like to see him and discuss his demise directly with him. surrender your request to God and go to sleep. watch your dreams. if nothing happens the first night, keep doing it until you get result as your spiritual stamina will be built up first.
if you are ready for the experience it will come. and the experience of course will be your proof that soul does not die and not my own experience. this is what we are teaching in ECKANKAR.

give it a try and have fun with it.

Truth is never in conflict with itself and when those who have reached spiritual maturity comes face to face with it, they know within their hearts that this is the truth, because it resonates with the God centre that lies within every soul. this is the reason we don't argue or try to convince anyone about its veracity. only a spiritual experience can show you its veracity.

truth has been taught by many masters who have graced this earth and unfortunately, their followers leave practicing the truth and focus on the personality of the Master at the detriment of their own spiritual growth.

so comes my little challenge if you are up for it.
All the masters who have taught the truth are still existing in the inner planes working for God and catering for Souls who are able to lift themselves up spiritually to access them.
all you have to do, is pray the way you are comfortable with and ask your Master with a sincere and open heart to teach you the Truth. forget what is written in any book. forget what any holy man has told you. just listen and watch your dreams and you will come to know truth as it is. without fanfare, noise or social trappings.

Your experience will be your authority as ours has become to us.

the Journey of Soul did not start today. you have been on this journey for many life times. in most of those life times you have studied with some ECK masters who played a significant role in your spiritual growth. the ECK masters that you see are those whom you have formed a bond with in a past life. A master never abandons any student who he once taught and always comes to give a helping hand when needed on the student's journey.
you are indeed very blessed to have the presence of these Masters in your life.

not at all. people have seen the ECK masters even before coming to Eckankar or hearing about the ECK teachings and many experiences abound of people who also met them before the ECK teachings were even externalized. never take experiences in ECK lightly as they are special privileges which many sought after and may never experience till the end of their lifetime.

they are already helping you. they work quietly in the background without fanfare or noise. the issue is you being aware of their presence and their help. that is what the HU song can do for you. the HU will raise your spiritual vibration and open your inner awareness to be able to see them. so to continue with the experience you have to continue singing the HU with love,morning and night.
