" It is exactly the beginning of parousia in the holy souls, the

beginning of the revealing at the end of times, when God will be

disclosed to everyone in this distant Light. "

 

 

" The most magnetic of all religious symbols is the light, the light

that radiates everywhere within and without — the light that never

was on land or sea. Great mystics have realised the Peerless One in

the form of Light. Moses saw the burning bush and received the word

of God. The Upanishad seers saw It as Jothi Aham — the Splendour in

the self. " - Hinduism Today

 

The Divine Light

 

Since Self-Realization the Light fascinated Kash. On the very first

day itself he had stood alone on the endless cover of clouds, trying

to understand where was this incredible, utterly peaceful Shangri-La

that he had stumbled upon. There was one distinguishing Reality of

this celestial landscape that held him spellbound — The Light! It was

shining above at a distance he was unable to discern. Kash had kept

gazing at it, spellbound by its indescribable uniqueness and infinite

luminosity. It was an extremely bright globe, much brighter than many

suns. In spite of its dazzling brightness it never ever hurt the

eyes. Since Kash had never seen anything that bright he thought it

must be the sun, but at a much closer proximity. His father, finding

no other logical explanation, also agreed.

 

After months of meditation it began to slowly dawn that what Kash was

seeing could not possibly be the sun. But Kash kept on insisting that

it had to be as nothing he had seen on Earth shone so bright. He just

thought that he was seeing it from a much closer distance!

 

Uncertainty came into his father inquisitive mind. He had this

peculiar habit of not believing anything unknown or speculative

unless proven beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt. The sun that his

son was seeing disturbed. Not only was it just above the Great Adi

Shakti but it did not emit heat!

 

But the lingering question was why was it visible only at Her place

and nowhere else in the Kingdom of the Almighty Creator? If it was

indeed the sun then it had to be seen at all the dwellings of all the

Immortal Messengers that Shri Mataji used to take Kash to.

 

On September 11, 1994, at 13:05 p.m., after reading the word

Shaibhang (Self-illumined) at the opening stanza of the Sri Guru

Granth Sahib, the consciousness of Self-Realization indicated that

there was more to this Truth than met the mind. If Guru Nanak had

described the Divine World of Reality to be Shaibhang, or Self-

Illumined, then the 'very bright Sun' that Kash spoke about could not

be true. If the Spirit of the Living God was the Ultimate Reality (Al-

Haqqah) then this 'Sun' at Her Abode was an inferior object.

 

The Divine Light is unlike anything known to man

 

Moreover, Kash's extraordinary observation of this 'Sun' created more

questions and doubts as he maintained that:

 

i) This 'Sun' is always behind Her at an angle but is not directly

above, that is, at about 45 degrees.

 

ii) It did not rise and fall like the earthly sun. The 'Sun' above

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is fixed and stationary.

 

iii) This 'Sun' illuminates the entire Supreme Abode of the Great

Celestial Mother. Every thing is seen very clearly and in fine

detail, down to the different hues of skin tone. (That is why Kash

was absolutely sure that Shri Jesus had a light brown skin, and

wearing whitish gray clothes stretched taut by the sheer size of His

muscular body.)

 

iv) Kash could not ascertain the exact size and distance of

this 'Sun' despite his numerous visits.

 

v) In spite of its intense brightness this 'Sun' emitted no heat. On

the contrary, Kash said that the rays are cool!

 

Then one day he astounded his father by claiming that there are no

shadows from the rays of this 'Sun'! In all his journeys Kash never

saw any shadow in the Kingdom of the Spirit. Though questioned many

times he maintained that this Sun does not produce any shadow,

physical properties that are ubiquitous in our universal sun. Kash

was told by his father to clarify this issue with Shri Viswamata

Nirmala Devi. There was something strange about this 'Sun' that Kash

daily witnessed.

 

Kash meditated and the Divine Kundalini at the sacrum bone took him

up the Tree of Life into the Bridal Chamber. He burst through the

clouds and reached His Dominion. The Infinite Light shone ever so

brilliantly from above the Eternal Throne of the Great Mater Divinae

Gratiae (Mother of Divine Grace) as She sat in Bliss and Joy. Shri

Lok Mata met him and the question was put forward. The Great

Primordial Guru explained that it was not the sun that he was seeing

but the Light. They then meditated, after which Kash returned back to

this hate-filled world of Louis Farrakhans and Osama bin Ladins.

 

His Light exists within all human — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.

His Light emits cool rays — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.

His Light cast no shadows — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.

Spirit Beings have no shadows — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.

 

 

This Revelation of the Light is the collective truth of the Holy

Scriptures. This Light has been announced by all His Messengers.

Since the dawn of civilization highly evolved souls have been

searching relentlessly for this Light. This is the Light of Shri

Krishna. This is the Light of Shri Jesus. This is the Light of Shri

Buddha. This is the Light of Allah, of Yahweh, of Brahman or any

other name that humans give to Him. God Almighty is Light!

 

These experiences of His Light are within. This is the Reality of the

Microcosm and the Macrocosm. We all live within God and He lives

within us as The Light.

 

Note: At around 9.20 p.m. on March 23, 2003 Kash's father took his

eight-year-old sister Lalita into her room to sleep. He also pulled

out a mattress from beneath her bed and laid down - she insists, or

rather pleads that her father sleep in her room every night. So there

is always a few minutes of conversation.

 

While lying down she started counting the number of lights in her

room - four light bulbs, one table-lamp, a florescent wristwatch and

Shri Mataji's altar flame. Both confirmed that there were seven.

 

Then she said there were eight and that both had left out the Light

above Shri Mataji in her Sahasrara. (Lalita continues to declare that

the Light is always above Shri Mataji at all times.)

 

Her father asked her a few questions.

 

Father: " Is the Light warm or cool? "

 

Lalita: " Cool. "

 

Father: " Is it very bright like the sun? "

 

Lalita: " It is very bright but you can look at it. "

 

Father: " What color is the Light? "

 

Lalita: " Yellow. "

 

Father: " Yellow or bright like silver? "

 

Lalita: " Like bright yellow. But what you mean silver? "

 

Father: " Silver, like metal silver. "

 

Lalita: " I cannot imagine the color. "

 

Father: " What about metallic silver? "

 

Lalita: " But what you mean " metallic " ? Tell me something which is

metallic silver. "

 

Father: " Like the sun in the afternoon. " (This was a dumb response.)

 

Lalita: " That's not silver. I do not know what papa means. "

 

Father: " Like the color of the fork and spoon. "

 

Lalita: " That color? "

 

Father: " Is it that color? "

 

Lalita: " No. "

 

Father: " Then what color? "

 

Lalita: " Yellow. "

 

Father: " Thank you Lalita. "

 

Lalita: " You are welcome papa. "

 

The next day the father waited for his 13-year-old son Arwinder to

come back from school to double-check with him. He returned at around

4.40 p.m. and his father told that he will ask just one question

about Shri Mataji in his Sahasrara. Arwinder asked what was the

question.

 

Father: " Arwinder, what color is Shri Mataji's Light? "

 

Arwinder: " Like white, white yellow. "

" The Bible is seen to be full of terms about light. Lossky tells us

that " for the mystical theology of the eastern Church these are not

metaphors, rhetorical figures but words expressing a real aspect of

godliness. " " The godly light does not have an abstract and

allegorical meaning. It is a data of the mystical experience. " The

author then referred to " Gnostics " , the highest level of godly

knowledge [that] is an experience (a living) of the noncreated light,

where the experience itself is the light: in lumine tuo videbimus

lumen (in Your Light we shall see light.) "

 

Eternal, endless, existing beyond time and space, it appeared in the

theophanies of the Old Testament as the Glory of God. The Glory

is " the Uncreated Light, His Eternal Kingdom. " Being bestowed to the

Christians by the Holy Spirit, the energies appear no longer as

external causes but as grace, as inner light. " Makarius the Egyptian

wrote: " It is . . . the enlightenment of the holy souls, the

steadiness of the heavenly powers " (Spiritual Homilies V.8.)

 

" The godly light appears here, in this world, in time. It is

disclosed in the history but it is not of this world; it is eternal,

it means going out from the historical existence: `the secret of the

eight day', the secret of the true knowledge, the fulfillment of the

Gnosis . . . It is exactly the beginning of parousia in the holy

souls, the beginning of the revealing at the end of times, when God

will be disclosed to everyone in this distant Light. "

" Cultivating the Awareness of the Light Within

 

The heart and mind can find peace and harmony by contemplating the

transcendental nature of the true self as supreme effulgent light

 

From the Yoga Sutra of PATANJALI, second century B.C.

 

Patanjali is often called the father of yoga because he was the first

person to codify and write down yoga practices. In this meditation

instruction, he is telling us to let go of all distracting sights,

smells, and sounds and meditate on our spiritual nature, our luminous

true self. He is telling us to look inside and experience the

radiance within.

 

All cultures, peoples, and religious groups through all times have

talked about the phenomena of light in the context of the religious

or mystical experience. Those who have seen visions of holy beings

typically see them surrounded by white light. People have always

described going to the light, finding the light, being called by the

light, dissolving in the light. We read about light in The Egyptian

Book of the Dead as well as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Men, women,

and children who have had classic near-death experiences vividly

describe arriving in a place of white light; they speak of themselves

and others as being bathed in white light.

 

Prior to being described as the light of any religion, light was just

light. Light is a part of the primary source material. Later, as the

history of mankind developed, the concept of light became

institutionalized; it was then interpreted according to cultural and

religious beliefs. Pure light thus became light of God, light of

truth, light of Buddha, light of Jesus, cosmic light, and ocean of

light depending upon where you were born and what you were taught.

Light, however, is constant. It is fundamental energy.

 

The New Testament, referring to John the Baptist, reads: " He came for

testimony, to bear witness to the light that all might believe

through him. " Later Jesus says, " Put your trust in the light while

you have it so that you may become sons of light. " ...

 

British mystic George Fox, who founded the Quaker religion, used the

term " inner light " to describe our ability to personally experience

God within ourselves. He himself had such an experience, which left

him with the lifelong conviction that everyone can hear God's voice

directly without mediation by priests or church ritual. This is the

central tenet of the Society of Friends.

 

According to Buddhism, all beings are imbued with a spark of inner

divine light. In describing our original Buddha-nature, we use such

phrases as innate luminosity, primordial radiance, the unobscured

clear natural mind, and the clear light of reality.... The Jewish

mystics use similar words when they speak of the inner spark or the

spark of God. The Koran, referring to man, talks about the little

candle flame burning in a niche in the wall of God's temple.

 

Almost inevitably a spiritual search becomes a search for divine or

sacred light. By cultivating our inner core, we search for this light

in ourselves as well as the divine. "

 

Lama Surya Das, Awakening to the Sacred

 

 

" We are now Sahaja Yogis but we were ordinary human beings. We had no

Light within us. Now the Light comes within us and we see the Light

then what do we become? We have to become the Light itself. Christ

was the Light. He did not have to become. We have to become the

Light. And now you have to guard on the way this Light might get

disturbed, might be reduced or maybe completely extinguished.

 

So carrying on yourself with this Light first thing you should

know that if you see the Light is not proper means you are not the

Light. You have to become the Light. When you are the Light, then in

that Light you can easily see how your mind works, what ideas it

gives, what affects your mind while you're ascending. Is this the

worry or is this the responsibility that you have? Or is this from

the bad habits you had, that there is an impediment in your growth as

a spiritual personality?

 

So you have to guard yourself all the time and see for yourself how

you are progressing. It's a very beautiful journey — very, very

beautiful journey. "
