At that time, I believed that in spiritual path, I must not ask any other " beings " than formless God, the Almighty, because other beings might be evil and by asking them, they might possess me. So, I just used the word " THIAN " (pronounce: Dhyan), the way Confucians in my country call God Almighty (I was born in Confucian family), instead of " Shri Mataji " . And it just worked. Jai Shri Mataji. Bagus " Thian/God Almighty/Brahman exists within us as Light and that is why it just worked. This Light is always above His Power/Holy Spirit/ Shakti who has incarnated in the form of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It is almost impossible to believe this fact but all religions, Holy Scriptures, Incarnations and sages uphold His Light within all humans. Thus when you used the word " Thian " instead of " Shri Mataji " it worked because God and His Power are one and the same. So you were cautious. At least you went that far because there is no way i would have done the same. i had given up on religions and gurus because none could provide me evidence that they were the true path to the Divine. But all that changed beyond my wildest dreams late 1993 and the rest is recorded revelations unprecedented in human history. No human or religious organization can now dispute that the Adi Shakti incarnated Herself for the first time ever. Bagus, i truly regard: The Doctrine Of Incarnation - by Hari Prasad Shastri /message/7308 to contain all the enlightenment, wisdom and guidance for the rest of your life. There is nothing better than this article ....... yet. Please read it occasionally over the months/years in times of need and reassurance. It will always continue to guide you closer and closer to God and eventually silence you. i desire that you begin realizing that your comprehension of God Almighty will be as successful as that of an ant understanding the Universe. In that humility you will only wish to remain Silent for all eternity. Then, and only then, you will be always in Sat Chit Anand - Being, Consciousness and Bliss. It is a long journey Bagus but a very, very, very beautiful one. So learn to be an ant first. Jai Shri Mataji, jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
