A true spiritual healing first heals the spiritual condition that caused the symptom to appear in the physical body. But this does not belie the fact that sometimes the body simply wears out.

When we have fulfilled our mission here, it’s time to go on to another classroom, to another mansion in the other worlds.

Do what you can for yourself. Do what you can for others. In doing so, you are moving forward spiritually as a divine light of God.

A good dream is one that helps you grow stronger, wiser, and more full of love.

A bad dream is generally a memory of a past life. Bad dreams are old fears.

So good and bad dreams both hold spiritual lessons.

If you are into physical fitness, you run, walk, ride a bicycle, or find some kind of exercise that will keep you fit.

There are also exercises that keep us fit spiritually.

The spiritual exercises open your heart to the Light and Sound of God, which is simply divine love, the love of God. When your heart opens to love, with it come wisdom and understanding.

If you believe Soul is born within the realm of time and space, you can’t really say It’s without a beginning. It has a beginning in time and space, if you’re going to look at it that way. But God created Soul before the worlds began.

Soul merely comes here as part of Its experience from the other worlds beyond time and space. It comes here and has many, many lifetimes learning one thing or another.

Self-responsibility is the key to spiritual freedom.

Develop the creative side of yourself so you can figure out your own problems. The creative power works best through those who love what they are doing.

The highest truth is not written in any book, it’s written in your heart. All the books in the world are useless unless they can help you open your heart.

Open your heart to what? To the love of God.

I still wish to know your view on this: parents expecting their children to pay them back for giving birth to them, demanding heavy payment from a man who wants to marry their daugter as a reward for training the girl. Should parents give birth with the aim of getting back rewards from their children? Also,must people spend to give a family member the kind of burial we normaly give in our part of the world? Now the main issue is, if one feels that he doesn't owe his parent anything, or choose not to give them the kind of nonsense burial they want, does it attract bad karma?
One should learn how to separate social rules and traditions from spiritual laws.
While culture and traditions which are man made differ from one place to another, spiritual laws on the other hand remains the same in all planes.

For example, Caucasians don't usually expect much from their children in term of paying them back and of course parents there do not demand for huge sums as bride price. Bear in mind too that in India it is the bride's family that pay heavily to the groom family in order for their daughter to get married.

You are not breaking any divine law when you refuse to follow traditions. But in order to maintain harmony in your environment you have to go along with their social rules to the best of your ability or else you leave that environment to another place where you prefer their social rules.

Karma being the law of cause and effect simply states that for any action there is a repercussion it is neither good or bad. So if you refuse to take care of your parents or give them a befitting burial as they requested the reaction is simply that you too should not expect to have your children take care of you or give you a befitting burial. It is as simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less.

We don’t make a goal of higher ethics, but higher ethics are a natural result of increased spiritual unfoldment. This ought to show in our lives, in our business dealings, and in our interactions with others.

In time of need, help comes if you know how to open yourself—sincerely, without any preconditions or any ideas that God should act in this way and do this or that.

Hi Mr. ben, i need clarification here again: i heard somewhere that one who followed the path of eck in his past life could come back as a christian in this life, is that true?
Yes

If yes, what makes it that way?
Soul has the freedom of choice. There is absolutely no compulsion in life. If Soul feels that is the place where he will have more experiences that will teach It about God's love that is where It will go. What matters is the lessons learnt and not where it is being learnt.


Again, if an eckist choose to walk away from the ECKANKAR (religion), does this put him in conflict with the living eck master?
Not at all.
It still boils down to the freedom of choice which Soul has and no one can take it away.

Soul can choose to take Its time in the journey back to God and go through more side tracks. Eckankar offers a direct path to God cutting through all the illusions of materiality and social trappings which has encumbered most other paths and offers Soul the opportunity in a single lifetime to achieve God realization which ordinarily takes multiple lifetimes to achieve.
This in itself is not easy at all. To be made to account for all your past and present deeds in one lifetime can be a very daunting challenge which many Souls are not ready to undergo.

Some start and along the way are overwhelmed and decide to take a break.
It doesn't matter at all. The Master is always there waiting for every Soul whenever they are ready to restart the journey. Either in this lifetime or any other lifetime the soul so chooses.
There is absolutely no conflict at all.

A person’s state of consciousness makes him happy or unhappy.

It’s what you do with what you have that makes all the difference. Whenever something comes into my life, I try to get the most out of it I can.
