True Monkhood

            A true monkhood is a state of life free from any kind of sensual pleasure, any kind of own-ness. There is nothing on the earth – money, positions, man, woman, children, family, any glory, anything – symbolizing or identifying own self. There is nothing as own. That is called monkhood.
            After one raises himself or herself from this state of nothingness, but wholeness, from the state of complete dryness, but every juice of life, a condition comes when the soul, being free from this world, enjoys a state of Holy Spirit, sainthood.
            Saint is he who is sent by God to help mankind. A real saint is the combination of all love and wisdom, the combination of all perfection, purity and peace. A life which carries this perfection, purity, peace, understanding, love and wisdom is called a saint, a free, liberated, awakened, enlightened soul.
            He lives as an ordinary man, but he is free. He lives with his family, with friends, and plays any kind of activities, but for the adjustment and fulfillment of others. He is already free. A saint has no attachment for wealth, any property, any egotism or selfishness; no attachment for name, fame, power and position that people are running after. A real saint is free from everything.
            The saint becomes a Prophet by their evolution, one who can prophecy, who is the symbol of all mercy, who is the incarnation, the embodied being of love and wisdom, who is the harmony and peace. At this state of sainthood, life attains godhood, and then that life becomes the Master, the Prophet, the Messenger, or in whatever way you express. Such a soul carries all the Masters of the past, all the past Prophets in him, in his being.
            So his religion is the combination of all the faiths – Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, or any kind of faith. He is the faith. According to the different conditions of the countries and of the people to survive, different faiths have come into the picture. He believes that all faith in God is the same and the Messengers, Prophets, saints or the Masters, who come from God, are to energize only the one principle.
            That God is one. Religion – which is nothing but to follow the principles of being and becoming – is one. All the Prophets – the Holy Spirit come in the form of human souls – are one. All the saints, with their purpose of serving all the devotees to change their life from the diseased conditions of their life to a higher condition of godhood, are one. God is one, His creations are one, and all human beings are one with different instincts, different influences of stars or the purpose of their existence to serve each other.
            But the main purpose of any existence is to go back to its origin, the Supreme Father, either by fulfilling their existence through their instinctive urges, or by certain conditions of evolution from animality to manhood, manhood to monkhood, monkhood to angelic, angelic to sainthood, sainthood to prophethood. Like that it is a tremendous condition of existence.
            The qualities of godhood from the beginning of the sound. Sound is transformed into light, light to existence and so many energies and this and that.
            But the purpose, that the One is playing the game, the Supreme Father.
            He exists as the creations. He exists as the Creator. He exists as the Son of God, his own children. He exists as the Holy Spirit. He exists as monkhood, a state between manhood and sainthood, or a Prophet. He exists as man – man is the image of God. He exists as so many creations, plants, animals, atoms, electrons, protons, and vibrations. He only exists all over the universe. In so many stars and galaxies, only He exists.
            God is the light, the Eternal Peace.
            God is the love, the eternal joy of feeling oneness.
            God is the energy that energizes every existence to grow and expand.
            God is that wonderful beauty of every existence, Mother Nature.
            God is that spirit – spirit of art, culture, music – that brings harmony and peace in every existence.
            God is the vibration of the Supreme Word. The word was law. The word becomes the flesh and blood. Raa Dha Soa Mi.
            God is everything, and denying Him, the spirit that denies Him becomes the evil. And the fight between evil and God, good and bad, right and wrong, the fight between all chaos and cosmos, is the beauty of all existence. To nurture every being to be enlightened, to know right and wrong, is the process of the journey, awakening.
            In the beginning or to the end, two things exist: obedience or disobedience. In other words, faith or doubt; love or hatred; perfection or imperfection; harmony or disorder; cosmos or chaos; completion or wants and worries; love or hatred; unification or disorder; constructive force of love to feel we are all one, or destructive force of all havoc. Monkhood, sainthood, the spirit of a Prophet or the Holy Spirit, or the essence of godhood, is nothing but a stream of love, wisdom and energy discovering the science, the understanding of every what, why, how and where.
            The investigation of all the causes is the starting point of spiritual life. A state of animality: blinded. A state of manhood: something to understand. Understand why the life came into the picture, how the life can be balanced, fulfilled and evolved towards sainthood, from sainthood to godhood, and finally become one with the Supreme Father. In this process of human life, many Masters and Messengers bring so many messages.
            But the latest message is that let every life be fulfilled in their conjugal life, family life, social life, political life, economic life and cultural life. Let their all round physical form be fulfilled, and spiritually be fulfilled to understand their Reality, their Real Nature, and the communion with God, so that every life will merge to its Reality.
            And in the process of merging life with the Supreme Father, every moment is the Day of Judgment. As one sows, so one reaps. As one does, so he gets the fruits, either pain or pleasure. The best way of enjoying pleasure is to enjoy what is right, what is beautiful, what is fulfilling, what is full of light and understanding, what is beautifully harmonious in life.
            Blessed are those souls who have got such a Master, such a Messenger of God, the angel who can energize every life through the stream of songs of love to establish Universal Love in their life, through the stream of light and wisdom to open up their life, to understand everything in their life and above all to carry the energy of the Mother Nature so that every nature of man and woman’s life will be fully energized to carry the spirit, the Holy Spirit, the spirit of God.
            A wonderful child was born in the womb of Mother Mary, as Jesus, a beautiful man of love, and that love is the offspring of God. The wisdom is the offspring of God. The world of adjustment, harmony and peace is the spirit of God. So God is born in so many forms, maybe in the form of leaves, trees. But He is already born as the life-giving force. He is born as oxygen, air, light. He is born as water. In so many forms, as earth, life-giving forces. He is going on being born.
            So we should remember, the Source of all sources, our Supreme Father, and salute Him all the time. We should remember His energetic force of all energy and salute Him. We should remember the love we enjoy in day-to-day life. By forgetting His love, His energy, His light and wisdom, by forgetting our communion with the Supreme Father, we fall in the ditches of diseases, chaos, bondages.
            The truth of all truths – be free from all bondages, diseases, all chaos of your life by your understanding about your Reality in your Supreme Father and carry His spirit in you as love, wisdom, energy, perfection, beauty and become a wonderful man, wonderful woman.
            Blessed are those who have conceived the Creator in himself and in every creation.
            Blessed are those who have conceived the highest state of love which can bind all in one and find one in all.
            Blessed are those who find that universal energy of God working in every atom, every vibration, every moment of life.
            We are so much blessed with love, wisdom, energy, with all beauty, art, culture, with every talent, in so many ways. We are blessed by our Father Himself who is omnipotent, omniscient. He is me, you, the same wine in different bottles. Why are you fighting with the size of the bottles, the conditions of the bottles? Let us all divert our attention to the contents, to our Father, and be united and enjoy that supreme oneness, Supreme Bliss. That is the state of heaven.
            May the word of Christ, the work of Christ and all the Prophets work in this state of the world. Let the world peace come. Let all nations be united for the one united government so that there will be none left hungry, without food. None with the tears, with their emotions and frustrations. None with the darkness of ignorance, but all wisdom, understanding. Let all war vanish from the surface of the globe. Let all enjoy the eternal existence, happiness of existence, happiness of love and union. And let the peace come on earth. And that is the day of golden age for which you and I have come.
            Amen.
