Idol worship: Ultimate act against the Spirit is to worship that which has no Sp

[Guest guest]

" This union of Atma and Shakti as the protector of one's existence is

important to understand . . . At a practical level what this means is

that if one goes against the Spirit, identifying with anything apart

from it, the heart 'catches' . . .

 

When we come to Sahaja Yoga the Tantra is damaged and impure and the

heart 'catches.' There is nothing to be upset in that. One should

settle down silently and work to undo the 'catches,' gradually and

slowly. The whole Library of Divine Knowledge is at one's hand and if

the heart's desire to evolve the being and achieve the Absolute is

pure, the solution to every problem will occur automatically,

effortlessly and spontaneously — Sahaj.

 

The ultimate act against the Spirit is to worship that which has no

Spirit — gross matter or raksasas. Shri Muhammad inveighed against

both . . . The Atma and its expression is the sole Reality in the

Universe. Identification with anything else causes the heart

to 'catch.' "

" At the Nirvikalpa state, the Collective Consciousness becomes

subtler and subtler. At that stage you can understand the very deep

significance of things when the Reality starts becoming clearer. . . .

You give him a statue of a deity and ask him all about this statue —

whether it is all right or not. He might say that it is not alright.

You can feel the subtle vibrations, whether it is in Dharma or

otherwise. 

 

Now can we say say that Ashtavinayaka's are living gods? How do you

know Jyotirlingas are living? How will you know unless you know the

integrations of all the great souls together? And how are you going

to judge them? That is why you must get Realization. "
