The Spirit: Another Comforter

General Audience March 13, 1991

 

In his farewell discourse to the apostles during the Last Supper on

the night before he died, Jesus promised: " I will ask the Father, and

he will give you another Comforter to be with you always " (Jn 14:16).

The word " Comforter " here translates the Greek word Parakletos , the

name which Jesus gave the Holy Spirit. " Comforter " is one possible

meaning of Paraclete. In his discourse in the upper room Jesus

suggested this meaning because he promised his disciples the

continuing presence of the Spirit as a remedy against the sadness

caused by his departure (cf. Jn 16:6-8).

 

The Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, will be " another Comforter " sent

in the name of Christ, whose messianic mission must come to a close

with his departure from this world to return to the Father. This

departure, which took place through his death and resurrection, was

necessary so that " another Comforter " could come. Jesus clearly

affirmed this when he said: " If I do not go, the Comforter will not

come to you " (Jn 16:7). The Second Vatican Council's Constitution Dei

Verbum presents this sending of the " Spirit of truth " as the

concluding moment of the revelatory and redemptive process responding

to God's eternal plan (cf. n. 4). And all of us, in the sequence of

Pentecost, invoke ...: " Come, of comforters the best. " ...

 

The Comforter whom Isaiah spoke of, seen from the perspective of

prophecy, is the one who brings the Good News from God, confirming it

with " signs, " that is, with works containing the salutary good of

truth, justice, love and liberation " , the " consolation of Israel. "

And when Jesus Christ, after having accomplished his work, left this

world to return to the Father, he announced " another Comforter, " that

is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in his Son's name (cf.

Jn 14:26)...

 

Another " consolation " of the Holy Spirit for the Church was the

spread of the Gospel as the text of the new covenant. If the books of

the Old Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit, were already a source

of consolation and comfort for the Church, as St. Paul says to the

Romans (Rom 15:4), how much more so were the books which related " all

that Jesus did and taught from the beginning " (Acts 1:1). Of these we

can even more truly say that they were written " for our instruction,

that by endurance and by the consolation of the scriptures we might

have hope " (Rom 15:4).

 

Another consolation to be attributed to the Holy Spirit (cf. 1 Pet

1:12) is the fulfillment of Jesus' preaching, that is, that " the

Gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a

witness to all nations " (Mt 24:14). Among these nations, covering

every era, there are also the people of the contemporary world, who

seem so distracted and even led astray by success and the attraction

of a too one-sided, material progress. To these people too, and to

all of us, the work of the Spirit-Paraclete extends, who does not

cease giving consolation and comfort with the Good News of salvation.

" Before his Passover, Jesus announced the sending of " another

Paraclete " (Advocate), the Holy Spirit, having previously " spoken

through the prophets, " the Spirit will now be with and in the

disciples, to teach them and guide them " into all truth. " [68] The

Holy Spirit is thus revealed as another divine person with Jesus and

the Father. "

 

(68. Gen 1:2; Nicene Creed [DS 150]; Jn 14:17, 26; 16:13.)

Shri Mataji: " I am the one about which Christ has talked. "

 

“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

 

" Christ didn't say that, " I am the Destination. " He said, " I'll send

you the Holy Ghost; I'll send you a Comforter; I'll send you a

Redeemer; I'll send you a Councilor. " He talked about the future. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

Note:

Shri Jesus promised humankind that He will send the Comforter who

will explain all that was taught by Him. In order to do that He had

to send someone divine, and backed by irrefutable proof for all

humankind to examine.

 

Shri Mataji, who took Her birth in a Christian family, directs all

humans to find Jesus' mystical Kingdom of God within. Her Knowledge

is that of the Spirit within and how to attain it. The essence of Her

Message is exactly that of Shri Christ: Seek the sanctuary of the

Kingdom of God within for " without are dogs, and sorcerers, and

whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever love and

makes a lie. "

 

Since opening the Sahasrara Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 has

worked tirelessly preaching the Message of Jesus to all — Hindus,

Muslims, Jews, Buddhist, Taoist, Christians, Sikhs. For the last

three decades She has:

 

1. glorified Jesus to all humans, irrespective of race, religion or

creed — " will glorify me " (John 16.14).

 

2. borne witness that Shri Jesus must be accepted and there is no

salvation without Him — " will bear witness to me " (John 15.26).

 

3. has warned that He will be incarnating as Shri Kalki during the

second Coming — " will convince the world concerning sin because they

do not believe in me " (John 16. 8-9).

 

4. has enlightened the seekers of the deep esoteric parables of Jesus

and the mystic Kingdom of God — " will take what is mine and declare

it to you " (John 16.14).

 

5. has awakened humanity to the true teachings of Jesus, teachings

that are still beyond their present comprehension — " will bring to

your remembrance all that I have said to you " (John 14.26).

 

Shri Jesus Christ promised that He would ask God Almighty to send a

future Comforter whose primary duty would be to " make all mysteries

known—The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality,

the oneness of man with every other man, and with his God. " That is

precisely what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has done. Shri Adi Shakti:

The Kingdom Of God records overwhelming, unassailable evidence that

She is that Comforter sent to explain all mysteries, and lead the

believers during the Resurrection " before the great day of the Lord

shall come " (Second Coming).

 

All i can say is that we are all verily worshipping and meditating on

the same God Almighty and His Holy Spirit/Shakti/Ruh within. Just

like the Adi Shakti, Jesus Christ too is entrenched in the Holy

Scriptures of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is only

with the advent of the Adi Shakti that we have found out how humans

have corrupted the religions over the centuries. So enter in through

the Gates of the City (Kingdom of God) within yourself to seek and

meditate on God and His Spirit for without are dogs, sorcerers,

whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, and whosoever love and makes a

lie. In others words, there is no hope of salvation in the corrupted

churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and gurdwaras. Amen.

 

regards to all,
