Intelligence, love and willpower must be balanced with each other

Your intelligence, your love, your willpower must be balanced with each other. For example, if you have will, but do not have wisdom and do not have intelligence, you are a destructive, chaotic force. If you are intelligent but you do not have love and will, you are selfish. If you have love but not intelligence, you are a follower. That is why you are going to balance your nature, and the birds are the symbol of the balance.

You have the wing of intelligence and the wing of love-wisdom and the bird’s body and tail correspond to your willpower. You have perfect balance in action with these three.

Appreciation

The more you appreciate a person, the more you unfold the treasures he has to offer.

Appreciation in family relationships works miracles. A family turns into a garden of flowers when the members learn how to appreciate each other.

In most families members criticize, hurt, wound, and belittle each other. Such families do not produce good fruit. Such families do not give to humanity creative, constructive, selfless, loving people. Most criminals came from families who hated each other and saw only ugliness within each other. Appreciation is the first move toward positive and creative living.

Appreciation works also in offices. A company, also a nation, loses many contributing and creative people, loses time, energy, and money by keeping only those who are critical, aggressive, even destructive to each other. The prosperity of the officers, companies, and organizations can be secured only by increasing the numbers of those people who are appreciative of each other, who appreciate each good deed done with a good heart and with a good mind.

Admiration

Admiration is the art of seeing positive values in others and objects. The modern media is directed to see the negative and broadcast the negative. This is the method that tries to destroy the admirable. It makes people be occupied with trash and develop anger, fear, and hatred.

A society degenerates if

1. Admirable things are not presented to it.
2. Admirable values are not recognized in it
3. All they see is crime, ugliness, and degeneration.

Those people who continue to criticize, belittle, try to find fault, are judgmental and disapproving sooner or later become exactly like their victim and their spiritual growth stops.

Search for people to admire.

Virtues & Values vol.1

You are equal to your criticism

Every time you are negative, every time you are criticizing to belittle someone, in your mind you are making a picture of your criticism and you are equal to your criticism and belittlement. That is why Buddha, when He saw His disciples being negative and critical, He would call them and say, “Leave the Brotherhood because you did not learn yet how to admire people.”

People are negative. Have you seen these negative people who absorb and suck all your energy around you? Even imitation must be avoided, the imitation of negativity to please other people or to make a joke about it. Even that has significance.

Can you develop that superior quality of bypassing all the limitations of other people’s personality and see their God? Then you are clairvoyant. That is clairvoyance. It is not seeing shadows and past lives and crazy things. Clairvoyance is seeing exactly the God that is living within you and everyone. Exactly from that root emerges the secret of forgiveness.

The demonisation of religion

Part of the fake new age religion is, hypocritically, the demonisation of religion. Why the big hate on religion? Mao Tse Tung and Lenin tried to stamp out religion, but only fostered brutality. Religion is an ancient, vast, rich, vital, perennial and irrepressible field of human culture, and absolutely indispensable to individual and collective progress.

Everything in culture that relates to God, transcendence, spirituality, etc. is religion. All religious teachers have advised, recommended, and instituted activities that people do together to promote their spiritual growth, except for Lao Tzu, who is probably a mythic figure. The current anti-religious notions are foolish and irrational. An effort is made to distinguish between religion and spirituality, but the two are merely two words for the same thing.

Even writing or talking with others about the self, introspection, self inquiry, meditation, etc. is a religious activity. Even meditating or contemplating spiritual ideas is part of religion. Religion includes writing and reading religious books, giving or attending religious lectures, discussing or debating spirituality, rituals, charity, religious music, building, maintaining, admiring, analyzing and visiting spiritual architecture, celebrating spiritual holidays, spiritually inspired art, going on spiritual pilgrimage, undertaking austerities or tapas, and a million other things. The Spanish Inquisition, the Christian Crusades, and the Christian inspired global colonial genocide and slavery, are not the sum total of the rich legacy of human religious traditions and practices.

Happiness, Joy & Bliss

In happiness, it is the physical and emotional elementals that feel complete. When a person's consciousness enters the analytical mind, he loses the sense of a feeling of completeness because he begins to see how much there is yet to satisfy his urges, drives, and desires. He then loses a part of his happiness.

Joy begins when a person's consciousness penetrates into the higher mind. The higher mind sees things in holistic concepts and gradually impresses the physical and astral bodies with the feeling of completeness -- because every bit, every experience of happiness, every want or desire already exists within them. They can enjoy all the happiness of the world by eating one apple, or all the happiness of joy of sex and friendship with one partner. Thus, the higher mind not only restores happiness to the lower bodies but also makes a person realize joy.

The state of bliss develops slowly when the consciousness makes a breakthrough into the Intuitional Plane, where feelings of completeness begin in all-inclusiveness. The flow of bliss continually feeds a person's joy and happiness, supplying him with psychic energy.

When you trust someone, you put a magnetic light in his soul

When we trust someone, we create a future striving in them. Actually, we ruin each other by not having faith, confidence and trust in each other. This is a psychological secret. Families ruin each other when they say to each other, “I do not have faith in you.”

When you do not trust someone, you kill the blooming flower in him. But when you trust him, you put a magnetic light in his soul. That magnetic light will never die but always increase. This is the secret of the Great Ones.

Challenge for Discipleship

The Ageless Wisdom never encourages people to discover or to be occupied with their past lives

The Ageless Wisdom never encourages people to discover or to be occupied with their past lives, but rather it encourages them to look to future possibilities and strive toward a glorious future.

The reason for this is that what we think as of our past lives are mostly

1. Fabrications of our desires, wishes and dreams
2. Dramatizations of our thoughtforms.
3. The mixture of events reflected in our astral mirror.
4. Subconscious discharges
5. Identification with thoughtforms created by masses.

Two ways of doing business

There are two ways of doing business. One is to earn money to live a comfortable life and forget about other human beings with their sufferings. The other way is to use your business as a means of performing true service for everybody. That way you will have money and, at the same time, help others. Money cannot give deep gratification to your soul until you use it to help others.

Losing objects

People continuously lose objects, misplace objects, and then spend so much time finding those objects. This not only wastes their time and energy but also causes irritation and many other inconveniences.

The time we lose searching for objects can be used for creative labor. Moreover, searching for objects creates a tension on our brain cells and our nervous system, and it gives us continuous irritation when we cannot locate the lost objects.

Whenever you are engaged in placing something somewhere, never do it in a state of absentmindedness. Be conscious in your actions. If you consciously put something somewhere, you will never forget it. Most of the time, seventy-five percent of our mind is “not there.” That is why we do not know where we put the things we are looking for.

Another technique of the dark forces that is very prevalent these days

Another technique [of the dark forces] that is very prevalent these days is called a “you know, you are” technique. Dark forces, seeing that in the future you can be a leader of light, slowly inject into your aura the feeling that you do not need to study, learn, search. “You know already; why waste time,” as if you had more important things to do! They also suggest that you do not need to work on yourself because “you ARE already...” Years pass and you remain ignorant, and your beingness remains the same. You become an obstacle on your own path and on the path of others.

Serving

A retired doctor came to a village where people were suffering with various diseases. He went to the city and bought hundreds of dollars worth of medicine and began to take care of them. On Sundays, he gave lectures to them on various health issues. One day an old lady asked him, “Why don’t you go rest in your home and enjoy yourself? You are working too hard in the village and you are not making a single cent.” “You are mistaken,” the doctor replied. “I cannot stay here and remain healthy if I do not educate these people and heal them.”

Even if we serve people for our own interest, it is beneficial. Only by serving people can we eventually learn to forget ourselves in the performance of service.

All creative people are inspired by the love of a woman or a man

All creative people are inspired by the love of a woman or a man whom they love and who loves them. If the love does not continue with one person and frequently changes to different people and turns into a pursuit of sexual satisfaction, the sphere of love cannot be formed and higher creativity cannot take place.

In the East when they see a great, creative man they say, “Someone loves him deeply.” It is important that leaders, teachers, and elevated artists are surrounded with a sphere of love to render a better and deeper creative service for others. Love provides substance to their creative thought so that it can take form and manifest on earth.

Thought-creativity degenerates and even turns into hostile currents toward life as a whole when a creative person or a creative leader destroys the formation of the sphere of love of one person and tries to build another sphere with a new arrangement. Disintegrated love-spheres are as dangerous as decomposing food in your environment.

Life passes and the child-minded people run after the satisfaction of their sex, without forming a permanent relation and building their love-sphere which, in the future, would be the source of inspiration for both parties.

Chaos

Chaos is formed by those energy currents that are not yet under the control of a center. These energies, being loose, without plan and purpose, often are used by dark forces to create chaotic conditions on the physical, emotional, and mental planes of humanity. These chaotic conditions are often disturbing and preventing the impressions sent from Higher Sources to our planet.

Chaos increases when people act without a purpose or a plan and melt in the chaos, losing the purpose of their life. People often become a part of chaos when they lose their inner direction. Chaos increases also when planets, systems, or even galaxies are left without their souls, thus decaying in the currents of chaos.

Does not chaos operate under the Law of God, as it is from chaos that Cosmos emerges? The scientists think that Cosmos emerges from chaos. However it is not from the chaos that Cosmos emerges, as the baby does not emerge from a chaos.

If the scientists do more study on the formation of a body – atom, man, globe, solar system – they will see that first there is a perfect Archetype and the forces of the Archetype gradually condense it, plane after plane, phase after phase, until it is materialized. The curious thing is that every phase of descent of the Archetype into more condensation is a Cosmos more beautiful than the last condensation.

So the gestation period cannot be called a chaotic period. Chaos is not a state of gestation, evolution, or even involution. Then what is chaos? Chaos is an abortive phenomenon, a process of degeneration, conflict, unpurposefulness, goallessness, and planlessness, when forces are let loose to annihilate each other because of their choices.

Every atom, man, globe, solar system, and so on has its own choice, its own form of choice tolerated by the Omnipotent Architect of the Universe. Some of the forces in chaos decide to enter into the labor of evolution of a Cosmos, some not. In timelessness this continues without beginning or end.

All forces must be organized for the reappearance of Christ

There is a great service, a world service. It is the reappearance of Christ. All forces must be organized in that direction. If you are not doing it, if you are caught in any other group in which there is no Christ and His reappearance, you are wasting your time and the time of others because you are preventing others from penetrating into the real core of the Teaching. If you are not hooked with the Christ spirit, you are losing your time. All the books you are reading, all the teachings you are giving that are not based in the reappearance of Christ and in the Hierarchical evolution and synthesis are all empty. They are wasting time, energy, and matter.

This is so important to know because many of you, thousands of people, are wasting their time on this yoga, that yoga, this and that. You don't need that! You need to develop the sense of direction, the sense of universality, the sense of synthesis, and to come in contact with the presence of Christ. You don't need any teaching at all! It is the sublimation, transformation, transfiguration of your life that you need, but you don't do this because the dark forces have organized "chocolates" and in the chocolates there is poison. You don't see that poison but I see that poison. You have millions of "White Brotherhoods", millions of "Teachers" and "Christs" and "St. Pauls" and "Napoleons" and "Marie Antoinettes."

The purpose of religions

Religions are set forth in order that people enjoy the benefits of leading a moral life. Religion is a meritorious system that unifies body, mind and intellect. Integrity or wholesomeness of conduct is morality. Morality is also called as Righteousness (Dharma). Practice of morality alone can help the world attain greater levels of prosperity. All religions have the same goal and establish the same truth. Their fundamental duty is to transform a human being into a divine being. Religion brings out the inner transformation in a human being. It aims at developing self-confidence to lead a good life. All religions are built on the secure foundation of morality. If morality deteriorates, not just religions, but humanity as a whole deteriorates. Every individual must practice being good and lead a moral life. Attainment of wealth and prosperity is possible by practicing moral values.

-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Somebody Does Not Leave You

One day a woman was crying and crying. I asked, “What happened?” “My husband is going with other girls.” “I would never have imagined that,” I said, “but Somebody did not leave you.” “Who? Everybody I went with left me.” I said, “Do you know that God never left you? Think about it.”

It is so beautiful to have the psychological attitude in life that there is Someone you can really have faith in, and that He is going to stand there no matter who or what you are and protect you.

Hypnotism and anesthesia

Self-hypnotism is as bad as an kind of hypnotism. I remember once shouting to a group of psychiatrists about this self-hypnosis concept. Stay awake. The whole life is hypnotizing you. When you watch television, you are being hypnotized. All advertisements are hypnotic. We want to awaken. Almost the entire humanity is “cattle.” There are a few so-called awakened people. Those who exploit others are hypnotized people.

For example, tomorrow a few doctors will gather and say, “There is a new illness.” Immediately, millions of people will rush to the hospitals and certain people will make billions of dollars. We have become hypnotized cattle. The headlines in newspapers, radio, and television can say anything they want. No one objects or questions them. We have become cattle, nothing else! The prime duty of leadership is to awaken people, instead of keeping you ignorant and using you.

Question: What about anesthesia and hypnosis?

Answer: Anesthesia is better than hypnotism. It is more physical and tangible. You can also clean most of its ill effects. But when you are hypnotized, it is very difficult to find and remove. For example, a very pretty girl is sitting in the dentist’s chair as he is hypnotizing her for a tooth extraction. While he is removing her teeth, his is thinking, “Wow! What a beautiful girl this is. Maybe I will kiss her a little.” Then he starts imagining, “I can take her somewhere...” These thoughts will immediately go into her. After her tooth is removed, the girl will be crazy for the dentist because she is hypnotized. In addition to your words, your emotions, your thoughts, and your ideas are also planted in the hypnotized person.

When a person is under anesthesia, total silence should be enforced. Even if your child falls and cuts his nose and runs to you screaming, don’t speak to him. Just hold him next to your heart. If you talk, you are hypnotizing him. There is less risk under anesthesia than with hypnotism. When a person is under the influence of an anesthetic, his thoughts and emotions are not buried into him, but in hypnotism they are.

Almost all discoveries on earth are reflections of the discoveries in the Subtle World

Almost all discoveries on earth are reflections of the discoveries in the Subtle World. The Subtle World is far more advanced in scientific discoveries than our earth. When the formulas and the designs of the machinery of the Subtle World pass through the atmosphere of the earth and through the human brain, much is lost, and sometimes only a distorted reflection remains. This is why it is so important that our scientists develop continuity of consciousness so that they can see the prototypes of their discoveries in subtle planes and make needed changes and adjustments in their discoveries.

Evil in its many forms must be recognized as a hindrance on the path of evolution

The evil people in our life are not alone. They are the servants of a huge army and receive energy and power from that army. Essentially they are spirit but blinded by matter and material values.

They want:

- more land
- more power over others
- more money
- more possessions
- more luxury
- more dominance to use their separative will
- more deception to avoid light and reality
- more pretense to hide themselves
- more crimes to avoid opposition
- more sensuality, making them insensitive to reason and logic.

Evil walks through all these tunnels and lives in the darkness of its ignorance.

Ignorance is the inability to see progress, to be part of the spiritualization process. That is why ignorance so violently hates any kind of spiritual phenomena. It hurts their ignorance.

Ignorance is not lack of certain knowledge or information. Ignorance is the inability to see the reality of evolution, the reality of a breakthrough into light.

When ignorance continues for many incarnations, there comes another evil that is insensitive, indifferent to any spiritual values, virtues, or aspiration. The spirit is buried deep in matter, and the person is approaching the moment when he will lose his soul and turn into matter.

Such people, or other disintegrating bodies, promote evil. They stimulate material tendencies, separatism, self-interest, vices, and manifold low desires. Every disintegrating form has a similar effect in its environment.

Not only for man but there are also huge constellations in space in the process of decay. Their bodies have a malefic influence upon global and systemic bodies – man included.

Evil in its many forms must be recognized as a hindrance on the path of human evolution.

At this time there is an organized evil in our planet supported by ancient evil. They have their hierarchy, their commanders, soldiers, and followers. They have their purpose, their plan, and multidimensional methods to penetrate every layer of society.

Evil is an organized army that is interested in material value, in making man and woman the slaves of material values. Their intention is to stop the evolutionary process and turn it into involution.

Those who love humanity must be prepared to fight eternally against this force. Every initiate, every disciple under the Hierarchy of light is a warrior.
