The purpose of meditation
The purpose of meditation is to acquire love. Unless you conceive God through the identity of your self and soul with the Creator and creations, you cannot love Him. You cannot love anything that you cannot hold, talk to or serve. Then you realize what love is. Everybody loves, even cats and dogs, because love is everywhere. That particular magnetic field of the spirit which can bind both into one, all into one, is the spirit of God or the spirit of love, all-pervading, omnipotent. Mother Nature is the love and energy of God, and also your nature.
I do not talk about a lower or higher nature. A successful sexual co-habitation with complete love may enlighten the couple towards God, if it is not for self-interest but for the interest of pleasing the beloved. That is a most important thing. So when we talk about the lower nature as sex, we are wrong. It is through sex that creation continues.
Sex is the union of physical organs in order to feel a kind of orgasm, to feel lost. When you do not consider your beloved but do it for your own satisfaction, then sex becomes lust. But if you fulfill your beloved for his or her satisfaction, for the sake of his or her good health and pleasure, your sexual operation is divine.
Sex is neither divine nor otherwise. It depends on how it is used. It is the same with your anger. You can never be angry where there is love.
Anger is a terrible fire, not to fight with love but with evil. If anybody is doing wrong, then you become violent to stop it. So that anger is given to you to fight against evil, not to fight with your love or beloved.
God has given you greed, given different tastes on your tongue both sour and sweet, given you different music to hear and given you the sense of touch. God has given you all these different sense organs to enjoy anything and everything that will help you for your health, life, strength and becoming. So you have to meditate anything you enjoy through your sensory organs, through food, drink, music, beauty, and ask, is it helping my physical health, mental peace or my spiritual elevation?
If it helps, then enjoy it. God has given you the entire creation to enjoy, but there is also a pull on you from the entire world of creation. God says, “If you are drawn towards the pull of this creation you are lost, you become the victim of evil, and you suffer, unless you find Me in that beauty.” If you can remember that it is Him manifesting through any charm, beauty or love you enjoy in this world, then you are safe. When you kiss your beloved, you kiss Him. To find Him, to enjoy Him, to get His touch in everything is your right meditation.
You can meditate anything in this world, it doesn’t matter. Meditation is in the realm of the mind, but a time comes when that mind dissolves in the ocean of consciousness. Then there is no more meditation. When there is no more meditation, there is no more desire, there is no more ‘I-ness’ or ‘my-ness’, there is no longer an image of anything. You enjoy oneness with God. Anything you find is a part of you and you exist as the universe. That is the highest state of your spiritual practice.
Now the time has come when you have to question and demand of your God, faith, Lord, Guru, Master or any Guide, what is the cause of suffering?
The greatest suffering comes from war, the next suffering comes from the husband or wife or partner of life who is selfish and creates trouble. Nowadays boys and girls are terrified. They ask if they can trust their partner. Can they be happy or is it a temporary marriage? What is the reason that things go sour?
The question is trust. Why should there be a fight between lover and beloved, husband and wife? If you sincerely love, you will never hurt, never disrespect, never create anger, never condemn, never create any problems or any displeasure. When all over the world everything will be right between husband and wife, I guarantee there will be heaven on earth. Out of a communion of love and comfort, with no fighting or misunderstanding, children will be born who are the children of the new golden age.
Meditation should not just be for half an hour. Meditation is in all the moments of your life. While you are in a waking state, meditation should be like your breathing. When you are sitting, meditation should be charging the battery of the inner self. “What should be my guiding force? What should be the spirit of God working in me? How can I please my beloved? How can I be happy?”
For your happiness, God is meditating you all and sending His Messengers to you.
The process of tuning your mind, heart and conscience to receive His direction, wishes and likings is your duty. Tune your mind at the pituitary gland, tune your conscience, tune your emotions with God and the Holy Spirit. He will send you messages. He will remove any darkness of ignorance. He will give you the strength to overcome the condition of your suffering and tears.
He will send you so many angels. Angels always come. Angels give good wishes, thoughts, inspiration and patience. Angels give you so much strength and courage.
When you are tuned with the angels and with God, you are safe, happy, balanced, wise, loving, and beautiful. Beauty is in the way you talk, the way you behave and the way you treat others. There is beauty of character, nature and sweetness. Of course, there must be some basic physical beauty, to be clean and dignified. That is necessary, but not too much.
How I should behave and talk, so that I can charm, is the meaning of meditation. Your meditation is to build yourself up in your words, actions and behaviour, just to charm one person: your Father. In the process of charming Him, if your lover or beloved is also charmed, then let it be.
The time has come to evolve. You cannot be satisfied with a job, house, car and culture. Nobody is happy with little things. The day man left the earth for the moon and stars was a declaration to the world. You can never be satisfied with just your family and little job. You have to expand your character, wisdom, beauty and love, more and more. Everybody should open their heart through which you can help your family, friends and others and encourage them to grow.
My only request to you all is that whatever you receive in this Man Making Mission, please deliver to others as I do for you.
Simplicity is a quality that can embrace the spirit of God. To remain always balanced in harmony and peace, under every circumstance and contact, is the spirit that belongs to the Holy Spirit.
Always think good of others and of yourself. Follow whatever dictation comes from your conscience and whatever is best to do without delay. It is the spirit of the Holy Spirit of God. You must do whatever you think is best for your life and growth, both materially and spiritually, whatever you think is suitable for yourself and those you love.
Beyond all doing and behaving you must know the intention. If the intention is right and close to the spirit of God, then you are intended to embrace that spirit. So correct your intention because many do things with the wrong intention. Man is known not only by his acts, words or behaviour but by the intention behind all these actions and expressions. Let the intention of every step of your life be perfect, be God’s wish.
The intention of life is to grow with your instincts and talents, so that you can fulfill your life through every emotion, thought and wish. Fulfillment of your life is most important, as it is the intention of your life to fulfill yourself, without being buried by any object of sex, emotion, libido or attachment.
The intention of life is to remain free so that no depression, weakness, disturbance or disorder of your life can stop you from growing. You can become completely free from all kinds of ignorance, wrong emotion, illusion or attachment. That is the purpose of yoga, meditation and spiritual practices.
Freedom is your birthright. One suffers from wants and worries, helplessness, weakness or a fear complex. So you have to conquer fear. There is nothing to fear. You are born to die one day. There is no fear. You are born to remain free.
You should be free from any emotion and be fit to embrace your intention, which is to know why you were born, what you are doing, what you will gain and what is the explanation of your life. If the intention is right then the purpose of your life is to achieve your Reality, purity, Universal Love and Supreme Consciousness – God’s spirit in you. You are born to go back to your Reality, to the Supreme Protector.
God exists in you as the Supreme Soul. He exists in you as the Supreme Power, both physical and mental, as will-power and self confidence, as right understanding and right meditation. He exists as Supreme Consciousness, the bed of all wisdom in you, so that you can know the causes for all that is happening around you. You exist as His Holy Spirit, as the vibration of the entire universe which is reflected within you. Keep your intention as the goal of your life which is to embrace your Reality.
Your body is not real as it changes all the time. Your mind changes with different contacts, in dreams and in thoughts. So it is not real. Your Reality is the soul that never changes, that is never born and never dies. It exists as the soul of all existence and it will exist eternally. In that way you are immortal and eternal. No death can touch you.
Your Reality is that which never changes, the Supreme Consciousness, the supreme ‘I’, your real ‘I’. Your Reality is all-pervading Love. The sum total energy of the universe is constant and belongs to you. You are nothing but that Eternal Love, that Universal Energy, that purity and perfection. So you always search for this Reality when you are already one with your godhood – your Holy Spirit – in your Reality.
Blessed are those who can feel that God, His Holy Spirit and His creations are the same. Because of different instincts, diversions, conditions of existence and influencing circumstances one acts differently, and that is the temporary self. Beyond this temporary day-to-day self, involved with its emotions, self-centricity and so many conditions and talents of life, you find your Reality.
You do not belong to womanhood or manhood. You do not belong to the different qualities or talents searching for name, fame, wealth or property. That is the condition of your mortal self.
There is a self that is immortal, all consciousness, Eternal love, eternal truth and wisdom, universal energy and art, the unifying urge of binding all in One and One in all. That is your reality, your destination, your immortality.
Blessed are those who can realize the intention, destination and condition of life that is eternal.
Blessed are those who can realize what is wrong in this mortal life, what is to be adjusted in the material world, what is that self that appears as ego, anger, jealousy and pride, and what is that self that plays so many roles and dramas of life.
Blessed are those who realize what the self is in the mortal life from moment to moment, in different conditions, relationships, contacts and circumstances.
Blessed are those who can rise above the mortal self and embrace the Holy Spirit, the essence of consciousness, the essence of eternal life, the essence of truth, the essence of perfection and purity, and the essence of peace and bliss.
Blessed are those who have attained the highest state of life in this world through fulfillment of the material and spiritual life and embracing the Reality of the Supreme Being – God. They glow as the Holy Spirit, as a holy person in their own lives to enlighten others to embrace all, to carry all to that direction where they can feel ever one with the Holy Spirit, the son of God, all saints, holy persons and the Supreme Father. Blessed are those who have inwardly touched a holy person, been blessed and become free. This world is a stage. You are the actor who plays so many different roles perfectly. But your goal, your intention, your sublimation, your unification is with that One who exists as the Supreme Father, the Creator, the Holy Spirit and you.
Do you know the function of the body? Do you know the function of the mind, how it works, how wishes come, how desires are formed? They come from your necessities, from your circumstances, and from your interests. The soul is that Supreme Consciousness which is all-pervading in the universe. It is called the Universal Soul. That Universal Soul enters and flows through every existence. As much as is your potential and life-current, so much will you receive that soul. Just as you receive air and oxygen, so you will receive that spirit and soul.
The soul in your being radiates as light, which appears as wisdom. It radiates energy, which appears in your mind as will-power. It appears in your body as physical energy, the energy of all emotions beginning from your lower chakra. The chakras are the regions from which energy radiates. You cannot feel what your soul is unless you feel what is your self. The soul also radiates the selves of the entire universe, from every existence in every galaxy, because the soul is connected with the universal soul that is all over the universe.
So what radiates from the soul? The first radiation is the small ‘I’ which is identified with the body and with its name. The soul radiating as the self is identified with some instincts. Everything comes out of the soul, and unites with the soul, Atma.
Don’t accept any teaching, realization or guidance from any spiritual teacher unless you understand it scientifically.
The soul, like the sun, radiates many beams of light. When it passes through the chamber of your instincts, which come out of your genes at the time of conception, it takes different expressions. These are expressed differently in different contacts and circumstances. The behaviour, actions and expressions are different for every individual in mankind. The sum total of all this behaviour again goes back to your being. You also absorb the reflections of the actions and reactions of the entire world. You can accommodate some of those that you receive. Those that you cannot accommodate, you expel. The process of repelling causes a condition when you become unbalanced. If you can absorb everything, then you are balanced all the time and you are at peace. This can only happen when your self sits on your soul, as it were, not on your body or your world of attachment or your world of enjoyment or illusion.
Inverting your self towards this soul is your only spiritual practice. You invert yourself towards your soul and then work out the programme of your life. Then you will be the master of yourself. This self mastery is the programme of the spiritual world, either in Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism or Judaism. God is one and that God is in you as your soul. The soul radiates magnetism, which is called love. It radiates energy, which is called strength. It radiates light, which is called wisdom. The soul radiates throughout the entire universe.
When your self projects onto the objects of your selfish interest, when the self is busy with the little world of its limitations, when your self works as the servant of your passions and emotions, then there is a cloud over your soul and you cannot receive its radiations. That is why a supreme spiritual Guru is born as a Prophet or a Messenger of God.
Such a Guru can help to awaken you so that the self is merged into the soul. If you take the soul as your being and suddenly turn towards the world, then the self is but a continuous being of that same soul.
But who created that pull. The sum total of all the creations is equal to the Creator, so the Creator is pulling you towards the soul, but the creations are pulling you towards themselves. So unless you find your God in the creations and find the creations in God, who is the universal soul, you are in illusion, in Maya. Only the love of your Guru can release you. So blessed are those who have received a Guru’s love, because it is through that love and your own devotion that you can reach your soul, which is the same love within yourself. Then the radiation of the light that you find in your Guru is the same radiation of your soul and your mind is touched with that light so that it immediately dissolves in that soul, Supreme Consciousness.
When your mind dissolves in your soul, then you find your eternal existence, which is unchangeable truth as Sat, all-pervading Pure Consciousness radiating through everything. Responsiveness to the rest of the universe is called Chit. At that time you feel your being as all-pervading, and that feeling of the Bliss of everlasting greatness is called Anandam. It is the state called, in Sanskrit, Sat Chit Anandam.
The soul is a spark of the Universal Soul, the Being of God. That spark is in you and it never perishes or dies. When it leaves this body, the soul will not be allowed to merge with the universal soul unless and until you have fulfilled or given up all desires. If there is any latent desire, either to marry or have a home or be president or anything else that is unfulfilled, that desire holds the soul, which then starts its next journey and comes again in another vehicle of the next life to fulfill those desires.
Those who come from the Supreme Soul are Prophets or Messengers. They are aware of every soul working in every existence. The soul remains passive and radiates energies through your mind and instincts. Unless the self surrenders to the soul, it is always troubled by its circumstances or by the influence of other creations. This hallucination of all the creations causes Maya. When you understand and realize everything, understand that you yourself are love, you yourself are light and have no need to search for it as it is within you, then you embrace the soul.
You have to embrace the Holy Spirit, which is the sum total radiation of God. This radiation carries the Universal Love, the Light, and the strength for harmony and peace. It also carries that urge which balances all circumstances and is ever free from the causes of bondages.
The cause of bondage is mainly self-centricity with egotism, that little ‘I’. When the self dissolves into the bigger ‘I’ which is God, you will say ‘I’ meaning that ‘I’ which is everyone’s ‘I’. When you achieve this, then your third eye is open. Then you can enjoy every relationship. When the ego is dissolved in love it carries both these selves to the soul.
There are many false prophets who have come to bind some in emotion, ritual or yoga. There are many ways whereby you can achieve temporary peace, but that is all. Afterwards you come back to yourself with its instincts and so on. The container is still full of poison, you are just painting the outside.
Real spiritualism is a revolution within when the entire being becomes re-oriented and the character becomes charged by the soul. One can touch that soul by removing the clouds that have been created by one’s past karma, with so many frustrations, desires, conditions of life and sins. The clouds can be removed by some true Guru who can then carry you to your soul. A Guru cannot do this unless you have communion with his divinity, have faith in him and give him a little love and service. Love, service and faith in any Mediator allow the spirit of that Mediator to work in you. A respectable distance has to be maintained so that you can achieve his qualities.
A real Spiritual Guide acts as a mirror so that you see your own imperfections and adjust them. At the same time he also reflects your soul, so that you can see your Ideal. The real Guru helps your life to evolve. So you have to believe that you are a part of the whole and, as a part of the whole, you are also the whole.
I do not talk about a lower or higher nature. A successful sexual co-habitation with complete love may enlighten the couple towards God, if it is not for self-interest but for the interest of pleasing the beloved. That is a most important thing. So when we talk about the lower nature as sex, we are wrong. It is through sex that creation continues.

When you understand and realize everything, understand that you yourself are love, you yourself are light and have no need to search for it as it is within you, then you embrace the soul.
You have to embrace the Holy Spirit, which is the sum total radiation of God. This radiation carries the Universal Love, the Light, and the strength for harmony and peace. It also carries that urge which balances all circumstances and is ever free from the causes of bondages.
The cause of bondage is mainly self-centricity with egotism, that little ‘I’. When the self dissolves into the bigger ‘I’ which is God, you will say ‘I’ meaning that ‘I’ which is everyone’s ‘I’. When you achieve this, then your third eye is open. Then you can enjoy every relationship. When the ego is dissolved in love it carries both these selves to the soul.
There are many false prophets who have come to bind some in emotion, ritual or yoga. There are many ways whereby you can achieve temporary peace, but that is all. Afterwards you come back to yourself with its instincts and so on. The container is still full of poison, you are just painting the outside.
Real spiritualism is a revolution within when the entire being becomes re-oriented and the character becomes charged by the soul. One can touch that soul by removing the clouds that have been created by one’s past karma, with so many frustrations, desires, conditions of life and sins. The clouds can be removed by some true Guru who can then carry you to your soul. A Guru cannot do this unless you have communion with his divinity, have faith in him and give him a little love and service. Love, service and faith in any Mediator allow the spirit of that Mediator to work in you. A respectable distance has to be maintained so that you can achieve his qualities.
A real Spiritual Guide acts as a mirror so that you see your own imperfections and adjust them. At the same time he also reflects your soul, so that you can see your Ideal. The real Guru helps your life to evolve. So you have to believe that you are a part of the whole and, as a part of the whole, you are also the whole.
