The Beginning of Creations
If you ask me about the beginning of the creations, how was God or the Creator or the Supreme Cause or what was the condition of the universe I will tell you He was as He is today as He will be tomorrow, the same. Only some of His Wills have manifested as creation. In the beginning of creation there was everything that will be created, every length of time, or has been created in the form of will and ideas impregnated within that being of that Supreme Cause. The manifestation is coming as creation.
You know in the beginning of creation for a baby in the womb, a zygote, formed by ova and sperm, they start cell division. In between every cell there is an affinity of unification to hold each other to form this entire body. To form the entire body of the universe with so many galaxies the affinity, the urge of holding each other for their existence, the energy which rotates one to evolve, or a supreme force that helps every existence to grow, we call it love universal.
That love you will find even in every atom of the matter. It is an energy holding electrons, neutrons, protons, forming a particular being with particular characteristics for the purpose of particular existence to fulfil each other. The evolution has come to a condition on this particular globe as a human being.
Now human beings have got that inner soul, we call it supreme consciousness or the vibrations of cosmos that carry awareness, around which there is life energy. Then it is covered by some instinctive nature. Then it is covered by some kind of — we call it mind — some kind of subtle body, which invites thoughts, wishes, dreams and imaginations. Then our physical body with so many organs to function, related to each other.
This is a human life. It has emotions for the expression of self, emotions to feel something, to enjoy something. There are so many complexes: inferiority, superiority, anger, greed and lust. Then in this human life there are some experiences, there is a world of understanding, in its own way. Understanding about the existence of matter, in material form, how it is changing, under what conditions. Understanding about the spirit behind it. All these experiences depend on how the self adjusts its existence under different stages and layers of life: we call it chakras or we call it different stages in the being.
When human beings want to evolve more to know the Supreme Cause or teacher or God within them, the self evolves stage by stage towards Supreme Consciousness. Any unifying urge to be one with someone for the fulfilment of instincts, for the fulfilment of life, for the fulfilment of the entire being towards the supreme becoming — this force in some life is stagnant because love is not working, the real love. The spirit, the real spirit, the Holy Spirit is not working.
So the light is gathering from the atmosphere, from the surroundings, from the contacts of friends and relatives, from the day to day activities what we call karma, results of karma. They are gathering some elements of thoughts, some elements of feelings in the being. Self gets involved with different spirits: evil spirit, holy spirit, animal spirit and angelic spirit. So the self, getting involved with all these spirits and the life, does not know what for he is doing a business, what for he is doing a job, what for he is enjoying a woman or woman is enjoying a man, sexually or emotionally or in the form of companionship. They don’t know. As the life goes, they just make some friendships, some relations and then go on.
The highest humanity has come to a condition when they have to realise their Reality within themselves. They have to understand their life with this world, life with the inner world, life with the universal love, life with the individual love. Then life with the family, life with the society, life with the world, life with God, life with the spirit, and life with matter. He must be aware of his own life with so many relations and conditions. That is the highest state of human life to go back to the Father.
In the beginning of creation when human beings from the age of Adam and Eve when evolution was going – what is this evolution? What is that elevation? It is elevation of understanding and knowledge, elevation of the purity of love, elevation of the intelligence, elevation of the abilities, and elevation of all the qualities. But if the life is buried in self-centric ego or interest, that life cannot enjoy love, that life cannot enjoy life. If the life is confined within four walls of his own room or family, life cannot enjoy the bliss of the Supreme.
That life is always haunted by different urges, different Mayas – Maya means the force that measures life, that makes life isolated from the Supreme and confines life with some particular object or particular subject or particular condition and life cannot expand to the Father.
When such is the condition of human beings, then his ego plays if anyone insults, his sex plays with the twinkling of eyes or emotion or any art. Then greed plays if he sees anyone using anything precious. Then so many complexes play and he is in a turmoil of all the complexes and he is helpless and restless and he is running for money, for sex, for this pleasure, for that pleasure, going here and there and becomes tired and worn out. Then they go to some yoga class or to some other class or to some other prayer or to church, mosque, temple or some tent just for a little relief, forgetfulness.
And to forget this condition is not Salvation, but to analyse the conditions of life under different circumstances is Salvation, when that analysis can make one free to understand that this is my life with these complexes, I must be above it and I should enjoy this much for my elevation. I should enjoy myself that much for my growth. I should be like this with my family, with my friends, with my society, with my nation, with my world. And this self has its own environment, nearest environment, and the world environment. And it must have some ideal – what should be my life?
So the co-ordination self, environment and ideal must be done. Who does it? It is the inclination of life through one’s love for someone. If I love a dog completely I will be thinking how the dog gets a smell and runs after thieves, how the dog barks for the others, what is the cause of barking and everything identified with the dog – if the love is true. If the love is attachment then I am finished. I will be thinking only for the dog’s meat and the vanity of carrying a dog on a chain on the pavement.
If one loves a woman, one should know woman is a nature. Woman is an energy, a nurturer, a mother. Woman is the embodiment of nourishment, love, care. Without mother I would not have come on this earth, Christ would not have come without Mary. Woman should be respected properly to her own position. Woman is not a machine of sex, emotion, art, music or comfort. Woman is something more. The same way, man is something more than what woman thinks of man. So this relation of man and woman, the negative and positive, the Creator and the creation, should be specified in life.
Christ said, ‘Love is the way. I am the way’. ‘I’ means the love. One has to meditate that love, what is that love? Blessed is that gentleman who has a woman who has dedicated her life for God or for Guru or for the Holy Spirit. Blessed is that woman whose husband has dedicated her life, her husband’s life, for the cause of humanity, for the cause of the Ideal. Most unfortunate are those men and women who think that the woman has dedicated her life for indulging emotions, passions, comforts, little things for his life, or a man who is confined to earn some money and go to bed with the wife and eating. For this unfortunate man and woman, religion has come into existence, otherwise there is no cause of religion. How women should move with their love, how women can give birth to the best children, how women can be useful to energise their beloved husband and family, and the same way how man can be really ideal-centric, can lead men, can lead the nation towards their prosperity, towards their plentifulness beyond all pauperism, idleness and all sorts of weakness.
Now a time for the world has come when all the old theories of religion that I have got only one Lord, the son of God; you have got only one Lord, a Prophet, or some procedures for worshipping God or life without knowing its meaning. Everything, beginning with the creation up to God, family or society, self or government, matter or spirit, everything is meant for uplifting your life. You understand thoroughly whether you believe in God or believe in your life, whether you believe in love or lust, whether you believe in your Ideal or you believe in any other ideas.
One thing is truth, that you want to enjoy your life, fulfil your life, you want to evolve in your life, you want to come to a condition of your life when you can understand everything, when you can perform your life perfectly, how will you talk, how will you behave, how will you act perfectly, how you can be free.
Every life wants freedom. Freedom from wants and worries. Freedom from frustrations. Freedom from confinement. Freedom from everything. Why? Because life originally is free. Your soul is free. It is free like God. And that God is in you. And so you being identified with your God want to remain as free. When you deny Him, then you are confined in your life. So you have to understand your originality, which is your Supreme Cause or Father in you, we call Him God.
You have to understand your present state of life. You also have to understand the present state of the world. You have to understand what Jimmy Carter is thinking with his Congress for the new apprehension from Russia. You have to think about the political side of the world, economical side of the world, commercial side of the world, industrial side of the world. You have to think of the social side of the world. You have to think of the different conditions of life in the world. All the children have lost their family, parents.
Children are born like cats and dogs with emotion and fighting. What truth can the temples and mosques give these children who are born with that spirit today. So you have to see how there will be a proper childbirth with the proper spirit between proper husband and wife. You have to also see how they will be properly educated. First education of their character, behaviour, feelings. Then how the brain will be educated. Then how the heart will be educated, their character, behaviour and everything. The full-fledged life will be educated so that they can really become a full-fledged man.
Religion of today is challenging the religion of yesterday. They are saying that the religion of yesterday was only teaching people to have faith in God, someone they don’t know. At least be humble and submissive. But today’s religion will say, ‘Why? Why should I do this? Why should I do that? What can I gain by doing this? What can I gain by doing that? I want to know, I want to understand before I accept'. So faith does not depend on a mere propaganda or preaching. The world has started the revolution on the basis of religion and they are denying God, they are denying truth, they are denying anything concerning with religion. They know that this life is the only truth. They are saying that the earth, this science is the only truth. They have lost all faith because religion was wrongly preached for so long.
But the Prophets, they came with the right messages of the Supreme Cause, supreme conscience, to tell you that you have come on this earth to become free to enjoy the freedom of your life, freedom of your being, to enjoy love, to enjoy a wonderful life, to enjoy the beauty of nature, to enjoy everything in your life. But in the process of enjoyment, why is there a quarrel? Why is there suspicion? Why is there a fight? Why is there anger? Why is there all sorts of possession? You possess a car for your beloved, not for you. You possess your money, not for you, for your beloved to fulfill your love. You possess your body to serve this world. Your body does not belong to you, it was given by your parents. So what have you sacrificed? Now the challenge has come on earth. You have to sacrifice all you have. You have to increase your abilities. You have to increase your everything in you. You have to develop yourself and then give the world the light, the love, inspiration, guidance, everything that you can give to make them free from wants, worries, captivations, limitations, conflicts, all kinds of chaos. For that purpose religion stands.
Then what is religion? Religion means a path of life by following which your Being and Becoming along with others will expand for the complete fulfilment of your self. When self will realise its Reality, that this body is not myself alone, this world is not only my world. Beyond this body, mind and senses I am the supreme consciousness all pervading the world. I am the light of the Father. I am the love of the universal spirit. I am so great. I am the child of my Father. I have come to give my life to the world. I have come to embrace the world as my own. I have to serve everyone whomever I see. That is my job, whether I do as a printer or as a musician or as any qualities of my life. My main purpose of life is to give my life to the Ideal, to give my life to the world. That religion is common. It has no name like Christ or Krishna or Buddha or Jesus. It has no name by any other name like Hinduism, Islam or Christianity. We say in our own way, so we have differentiated man in different faiths. That is the greatest crime has been done by the wrong followers of the Prophets.
Now this is the high time when the political world has come to the highest position whether it is to be solved or destroyed. Then economically it has come to a condition, and socially, then spiritually also we have come to a condition when we have to see that there is only one God, our Supreme Cause. Human beings want life to exist, to grow, full with its right. And we have to nurture the qualities and efficiencies in all respects. Efficiencies that are concerned with the life. That way life will really grow and glow.
And the mission, this mission is not the mission of your Maharaj. It is the mission of all Prophets, it is the mission of all human life. It is the mission, man-making mission. How man can really understand himself. How man will meditate Christ or Krishna or anybody who is the embodiment of love and wisdom, who in human form is potentially a wonderful friend.
Meditating such a person you will have the auto-suggestion that if a man like Jesus can become a Christ, you can become that tomorrow.
You have to think yourself: what is your Reality? You are beyond this anger, greed, passions, emotions, a wonderful man. You have to meditate that by auto-suggestion every day. If you think you are pure, good, and if you act accordingly, you will remain pure and good and loving. Anything that you do, you will do for the cause of your love, to fulfil love. and for the sake of love. There is no self there. And love, your self and your life and your ideal all become completely one to you and you hold that power in you.
A time has come when each one of you will carry these messages to the world, respect every church, temple, mosque. Respect every man’s qualities because your Father or God or Supreme Cause are latent in everyone with some particular attributes or qualities. You cannot ignore anybody. You cannot hate anybody. If anybody by his misfortune or by his unruly manners does any wrong, then excuse, pardon. But change him. The real love always changes each other. If I really love you, I will protect you, I will change you, I will fulfill you, I will lead you to your glory of life. I will establish you all over the world and I will make you a temple of God. That is what love does. If you love anybody – your child, wife, husband or any friend – you do that. You energise his life so that he becomes great, he becomes free from all his ghosts, animality, frustrations, weakness, all other Maya or, illusion so that he can be a great man. He can be useful for the whole world. He can be useful for his ideal, he can be useful for his Guru, he can be useful for the real mission, the man-making mission.
You know in the beginning of creation for a baby in the womb, a zygote, formed by ova and sperm, they start cell division.
