Man's greatest fight is against His fault of not
Trying to avoid ignorance,or the darkness of the
World.To overcome it requires wisdom,and the best
Way to acquire wisdom is by unremitting endeavour.
Ye do not get it any other way than by contemplation.

Love comes first in the heart,and with the development of love then ye get freedom;and then with freedom one gets all truth.For after all,truth contains all things,yet man in his state in this world can develop SINGULARLY.Therefore,it is best to start with the virtue of love

Matter is necessary for spirit life in the lower kingdom.But for matter.God would be one huge ocean filling all space.Before creation,all spirits lay at the feet of the lord in an unmanifested mass.these spirits could have no seperate form,no individuality,nor individual existence except by mixture of matter.Thus they could attain no knowledge of their true self in God.As fire is necessary to light any ignitable substance,so is spirit required to give life to matter.At death of every creature the LIBERATED Spirit merely changes its matter cover,or in other words,takes up its abode in a life form of some other creature.
Therefore,I tell ye that a devotee,when merged into the Spirit current of the Supreme Being,is like this LIBERATED Spirit,and can assume his individuality in any form so desired,at his own pleasure.

Everything in the past must be forgotten
And each day must be a new start upon the
Path of God.Remember that Lot's wife was warned
Not to look back into her past.Keep thy vision
Fixed upon the future in eternity,and forget
The errors of the past.

Soul is like a cup which has been turned upside down
And cannot receive the waters of heaven.The spiritual
Master appears and turns the cup face upward so it can
Be filled,and soul is drenched with the spiritual sound
Current and becomes holy.So I plead of thee,good friends,
Look for God within thyselves,and pray that He will fill
Thy cups until they overflow.

Ye must know that ye are but a drop from the
Ocean of God's mercy and love,and this,I say,
Is the Supreme Being,Itself.Ye,as a drop of
Pure spirit,art so mixed with matter that ye
Come in bondage and must be released from it.
Unless aided by a Supreme Son ye are always
Liable to yield to temptation and will deteriorate
And will sink down into matter.

To be pure,then,become humble and meek before
Thy God,and thy neighbor.Raise the good qualities
In all thy fellow creatures and you will become
Exalted,for God gives only to those who live
For their fellow man.

Do not listen to one who preaches or acts with evil
Lest you should bring about thy own undoing,for the
Fault lies within thyself for listening to that teacher.
Open thyself to receive evil and in doing so become one
With him who preaches evil.Yea I tell you that it is true
There are rogues even among the spiritual orders.
But it is thy fault if you will find favor with them.Use thy
Discrimination and mingle only with the good.Then you
Purify thyself.

@Benodic
If you conciously strive to become the Godman,then you will lose God.By intention to bring thyself into harmony with the light you will instantly be taken from it.Did Jesus not say whosoever tried to save his life would lose it.


Don't understand the quote above,help me elaborate.Hope you are fine,happy weekend.May the blessings be.

God can only give the light to those who are
Pure in heart.Until you drop the barrier of thy
Ego,the light will not reach thee.No message can
Be given thee,and it is a waste of effort for the
Teacher to attempt it.Truth is but a spear,and those
Who are not ready for truth of God will wound themselves
Upon its point.

Time after time God sends his supreme son into the world to
Revive the often- forgotten knowledge,emphasizing its importance
But man forgets God.He does not realize that it is a matter of common
Knowledge and experience that light comes from light and life from life.
God is both light and life.

When man purifies his consciousness,then he begins
To walk the path of God in a straight froward manner
Via the path of ECK.If you seek the things of this world,
Then you will be in darkness,although you may have
Plenty of material things.

As long as man is immersed in emotional matter
As long as he is bound by the things of samsara
His higher God energies will be poured into the
External world instead of within himself,he can go
No higher nor will he know his higher Self.

All life is one; therefore,there cannot be God and man,nor universe.
All things are in God and must return to him.He operates in all things
He is the creator,and the created.Thus all is God,and God is all.
So I tell you not to believe,but understand; and not to worship,but
To practice.

Anyone who fights with evil should be careful lest he thereby become evil itself.
For if you look too long into the mirror with eyes that see only evil,then the
Reflection will be that of evil and thine own self will be filled with evil.

Ye are the same Spirit of God which moved upon
The face of the water when the earth was without
Form and void,and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
Ye belong beyond time and space and in that world of
The nameless one that ye call God.

The eternal truth of the seven heavens of cosmic universe is that
God is one.What we call this divine reality is only our name for it.
But all races and countries have different name,and even the sages
And rishis called it by their own name.Yet,it is same in any language.
Only he who has experience this reality in God can present with
Authority it's various facets of truth and give a true import of the conflicting
Views of the various scriptural texts.

Thy experience is nothing less than thy own
Choices and thoughts made visible.The creative

The true value of life is to be humble before all
God's creatures.The greatness of God and need for
Humility leads to a pure and honest life,for an ethical
Life is but a stepping stone to spirituality.Did not thy great
Teacher Jesus say that except ye become as little children,
Ye shall not enter the
Kingdom of God.

The law of God compels man to see Him,
And you must know that even though you may
Never seek God,He will seek you amd compel you
To turn to Him.So I tell you this,Do as I say and you,
Shall become one with God!

This earth's civilization has made man soft & flabby,and no longer can he
Think for himself.He must let others do so,tell him what to do.
Man has become so involved in the trifles of existence that he is shut from
God.This is because man has forgotten the language of the celestial world.
God speaks to all,but how many hear His Voice?

When you read ECK books and attend Sunday service,do you still need to be a registered member.Is there a difference.

The few who have come to see themselves
In the true light of God and whose life is in
Keeping with the guidance of God,are rightfully
Named the messengers of God,and are his
Supreme Sons who give the truth to all mankind.
They are the Godmen who walk the earth.

"Man is always seeking",And he finds not,
For life does not begin with birth and end with
Death.Man hungers for perfection.Man seeks
God.And how can man find God without the

So I speak to thee,my son,from the highest,
From the plane of God,and not as an individual .
God is thy own for the asking.You need no man,
Except the Master,to show thee.Mainly,you need

If you seek to find the God center,thy ideal can be fulfilled.
It depends upon thyself,for every man is the Truth and the
Way unto himself.Speaking to the deciples,Jesus said,
I am the way and the truth,but he was speaking from the

Every man seeking to balance the law of

Do not partake of the evil of another.if you are
Quite and calm,your calmness and quietness
Will make a greater effect on the other than his

God love has for its goal the creation of the highest form,and you must know that the
Individual love is likewise forever attempting to express itself in form,and to give
Soul the highest architecture of spiritual attainment.
If you are able to see love in its entirety,you will know all things,the all in all,the secrets of all reality.
If not,you will be chained to this old world of darkness and suffering forever!

It is love that imparts vitality to our minds and hearts and enables it to germinate.
The law of love will bring to you all necessity for your spiritual growth and maturity.
Therefore if you desire love,try to realize that the only way to get love is by giving love.
That the more you give,the more you get;and the only way in which you can give is to
Fill yourself with it,until you become a magnet of love.
