Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dear devotees of the Comforter, Namaste – I bow to the Paraclete who resides in you! After more than 15 years of examining hundreds of Shri Mataji's quotes/lectures, i have finally found a priceless pearl: " Normally I don't tell about Myself but today he exposed me. As soon as I came I had to tell because it's not tactful. It's not tactful to say anything. It's better that you discover Me than I tell you because Christ was crucified, everybody was tortured. I do not want to hamper My work because it makes no difference by telling you anything before Realization. It's better to tell you after Realization that I am the Holy Ghost – no doubt. I am the one about which Christ has talked. I have told them. I had never said this on from a platform and I told. They have been telling Me, " Mother, You must say that once. " I said, " In America I'll declare it. " So today I declare that: " I am the Holy Ghost. I am the Holy Spirit who has incarnated on this Earth for your realization. " " Shri Mataji New York, USA 30 September 1980 i consider this post " I am the one about which Christ has talked " to be one of the most important ever written. The reason is that it is the very ground on which Shri Mataji stood for nearly four decades, exalting and glorifying Christ, and never budged an inch. It takes immense courage, fortitude and faith to state and defend a most audacious claim that must be backed by the Holy Scriptures; one of the many truths She has publicly declared loud and clear since the 70s. So please read it with full attention and deep introspection. Of even greater significance is the fact that this claim is the culmination of eschatology, fulfillment of salvation and entry into the Kingdom of God, the very ground on which Jesus also stood. Without question Jesus has now fulfilled the promise made 2,000 years ago that He will send the Comforter (Paraclete) in the name of God Almighty; one of the many truths He publicly declared loud and clear 2000 years ago. Again, please read it with full attention and deep introspection. By bearing witness and defending the claims of both Jesus and the Comforter, we are also standing on the same ground. Jesus never budged. Shri Mataji never budged. Under no circumstance whatsoever will we budge even though the entire SY organization of 80,000 so- called Self-realized souls have long abandoned and fled those sacred ground. We must unconditionally discharge our duty to both the Saviour and the Holy Spirit, and defend the ground they stood on. Few are willing to join us because it takes immense courage, fortitude and faith to state and defend Shri Mataji's declaration that " I am the one about which Christ has talked " . But unlike WCASY and their SY organization peddling the SYSSR, we have all the eschatological evidence of Jesus and the Paraclete to openly declare Her Advent and Divine Message to humanity. " Who is the Counselor? " is but one of the many pieces of eschatological evidence. That is why only a few of us are sufficient to complete the very task given decades ago to SY leaders and tens of thousands SYs who had been telling Shri Mataji, " Mother, You must say that once. " And when She finally declared that in 1980 they just fled in droves. The SYSSR (Sahaja Yoga Subtle System Religion) was invented by these cowards, a blatant corruption to replace a most sacred declaration by Shri Mataji that She is " the one about which Christ has talked. " But we will triumph over these cowards, liars, hypocrites and their SYSSR. It is only a matter of time now. Everything else is in place. Regards to all, jagbir " Who is the Counselor? Ar 7.45 a.m. on May 23, 1995, Kash was told to ask Shri Adhiparasakthi Shri Nirmala Devi's permission to see Shri Jesus in order to inquire about the Counselor which He had promised to send. One and one half years had passed and his father knew without doubt that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was the Comforter. He thought that by getting another confirmation from Shri Jesus, it would lend additional weight to Her Revelations. Kash agreed and went into his room to meditate. He found the Divine Unity already sitting in a circle, ready for meditation. He then bowed to the Great Universal Mother and inquired whether he could ask Shri Jesus a question. Without even asking what was it, the Great Holy Spirit told him that it would not be proper to ask that question. She had already heard what his father had told him to enquire about. He had put forward a superficial question that lowered the dignity of the Celestial Court, and did not deserve an answer — even at the expense of Truth coming forth directly from Shri Jesus Himself for the benefit of humanity, which was the intent of his father in the first place. It was about proper protocol. After all, he knew very well that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was the Redeemer, a fact firmly established after hundreds of daily encounters of his son with Her and the Heavenly Hosts. Kash had seen Shri Jesus and other Messengers of God meditating on the Spirit of the Living God every day. On Earth his family had heard Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi proclaiming that She was the Comforter. To deliberately ask a well-known fact from such a divine personality as Shri Jesus would be frivolous and belittling, to say the least. Why enquire about a fact firmly established and absolutely believed through sustained Revelation? Why pretend to be ignorant of Absolute Truth? Kash thanked Her and walked toward his spiritual body meditating beside the Eternal Throne, and sat into it. All the Spirit People then raised their Kundalinis in unison and started meditating. When it was over, he paid his respects to all of them and bowed to the Great Holy Spirit again. He then descended through the clouds of Heaven, returning to this sick world of Jonestowns* and Littletons.** " Shri Adi Shakti: The Kingdom Of God, 1999, page 1554 * Thirty years ago, 909 Americans were led to their death by the Rev. Jim Jones in a mass murder-suicide pact in a South American jungle, shortly after Jones' gunmen killed a visiting U.S. congressman and four others at a nearby airstrip. ** On April 20, 1999, in the small, suburban town of Littleton, Colorado, two high-school seniors, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, enacted an all-out assault on Columbine High School during the middle of the school day. The boys' plan was to kill hundreds of their peers. With guns, knives, and a multitude of bombs, the two boys walked the hallways and killed. When the day was done, twelve students, one teacher, and the two murderers were dead. " It states that the Fourth Gospel does not narrate Jesus' baptism but explains its significance. Since the Holy Spirit descended and remained on Him, He is singled out as the Son of God who will baptize with the Holy Spirit (John 1:32-34.) His teachings direct to rebirth through the Spirit where a new state of being is attained by the grace of the Spirit — this is the only way of entering the Kingdom of the Spirit. Water is associated with the Spirit (John 3:5-8; cf 1:13.) However, this salvation of humankind through rebirth can only take place after His death and exaltation (cf 3:14.) Therefore this promise of the coming Spirit points to the future: " Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given [or, Spirit was not yet], because Jesus was not yet glorified " (7:39.) The discourses following Last Supper hold the key to the narration of the Spirit. It is referred to as the " paraclete " (Counselor) or " advocate " , " intercessor " or more appropriately the Spirit of paraclesis i.e. the declaration of the comfort and encouragement of the gospel in the coming age that would fulfill this promise. With these terms and the use of masculine instead of neuter pronouns, the concept of the Spirit attains a more personal nature than at any other point in the Bible. " Dictionary of the Bible, [Edited by James Hastings], Charles Scribner's Sons, 1963, p. 393.) Jesus didn't leave his disciples on their own By Robert Creech University Baptist Church-Clearlake, Houston " How will Jesus' disciples survive in his absence? That question troubled them as Jesus announced his imminent departure. Their anxious glances and serious expressions conveyed the emotional darkness engulfing them. Jesus countered that gloomy atmosphere with his teaching. He left them with a legacy of instruction that would enable them to live successfully as his followers, even after his departure. This legacy included teaching about prayer, obedience, peace, experiencing the Father's love, abiding in Christ and living in community with other believers. In addition, he taught them about living in relationship with the Holy Spirit, who would continue to provide an experience of Jesus' own presence with his friends. He described the Spirit with three titles. In 14:26, Jesus simply calls … " the Holy Sprit. " This title appears again in 20:22. Three times in Jesus' final discourse he identifies … as " the Spirit of Truth " (14:17; 15:26; 16:13), a title that occurs outside the fourth gospel only in 1 John 4:6. Four times Jesus uses the distinctive title " parakletos " to describe the Spirit (14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7). This word also occurs elsewhere only in 1 John (2:1), where it refers to Jesus. " Parakletos, " often printed in English as " Paraclete, " challenges the translator of John's gospel. Major translations render it as " Comforter " (KJV), " Helper " (NASB), " Advocate " (NRSV) and " Counselor " (NIV). The Greek word itself contains all those meanings, describing one who is summoned to the aid of another. " Helper " may be the better translation, allowing the context to describe the specific kind of help being offered (advocacy, comfort or counsel). Some commentators do not translate the word at all, simply bringing it into English as Paraclete, as we do with other Greek words like " baptism " or " deacon. " In many ways, the role of the Paraclete is to continue the ministry of Jesus to his disciples. Jesus introduces the Spirit as " another " Paraclete, implying he himself had been the first (14:16). As Jesus is the Truth (14:6) and bears witness to the Truth (18:37), the Paraclete is " the Spirit of Truth " (14:17) who testifies as well (15:26-27). Just as Jesus is " the Holy One of God " (6:69), the Spirit is " the Holy Spirit " (14:26). Jesus has " come into the world " (5:43), and now promises the Paraclete will come as well (16:8). The Spirit " comes forth " from the Father (15:26), just as Jesus has come forth from the Father. The Father gives the Paraclete at Jesus' request (14:16), just as the Father has given his Son (3:16). The Father who sent Jesus (3:17) will send the Spirit as well (14:26). Jesus came in the Father's name (5:43) and the Paraclete comes in Jesus' name (14:26). As Jesus spoke only what the Father told him (14:10), so the Spirit would reveal Jesus' words (16:13). Jesus glorified the Father (14:13; 17:4), and the Paraclete will glorify Jesus (16:14). In many ways, the Paraclete is to Jesus as Jesus is to the Father. The Paraclete will play a significant role in the lives of Jesus' followers. They will be privileged to know the Paraclete, as they have known Jesus (14:7, 9, 17). The Spirit will be within the disciples and will remain with them, as Jesus remains in and with his friends (14:20, 23; 15:4-5; 17:23, 26). The Spirit will guide the disciples along the way of truth (16:13), even as Jesus is the Way and the Truth (14:6). Jesus has taught those who would listen (6:59; 7:14, 18; 8:20), and now the Paraclete will do the teaching (16:12- 15). The Spirit will empower disciples to testify to Jesus (15:26-27; 20:21-23). The Spirit also has an important role to play in relation to the world. The world that did not accept Jesus will not accept the Paraclete (5:43; 12:48; 14:17). The world that did not recognize Jesus (7:28; 8:14, 19; 14:7; 16:3) will not recognize his Spirit either (14:17). Like Jesus, the Paraclete will bear witness in the context of the world's hatred (7:7; 15:26-27). And the Paraclete ultimately proves the world wrong concerning its verdict on Jesus (16:8-11). Jesus' " advocate " will become the prosecuting attorney bringing the world to trial before the bar of Truth. Living as Jesus' disciple while he was on earth required knowing him, loving him, trusting him, obeying him and learning from him. We now experience his presence with us through knowing, loving, trusting, obeying, and learning from the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth. Jesus describes the Paraclete almost entirely in functional terms. He tells us what the Spirit will do with and for us…; is God's presence among us (14:16-17)…; is our personal teacher (14:26; 15:13)…; brings thing to our minds and helps us understand them (14:26)…; is the source of our peace (14:27)…; empowers our ministry and witness (15:26-27)…; comes to us in our sorrow (16:5-7)…; convicts the world of sin (16:8-11)…; focuses our attention on Jesus, glorifying him (16:13-14)…; makes spiritual truth clear to us (16:13-15).
