Exhibit-2 (Click to Enlarge) In all, the creation and beyond is a mansion with a ground floor where we presently reside (physical world), with 8 floors in all above it (the 8th itself being a terrace!), and a basement (nether world) too. God Himself resides on floors 5 to 8. The 4th floor is the approach to the castle and to guard the castle of the Lord, there is a deep moat between the 3rd and 4th floors, which even the great Bramha-rishis could not get across! The entire creation is divided into 2 regions: 1. Positive or spiritual creation, which is essentially conscious ('Chetan'), and that created from it, 2. Negative or material ('Jada') creation, which is essentially inert. There is no karmic law in the Positive creation, the law there being that of 'Service and Grace'. The conscious creation comprises of 2 grand-regions or continents: 1. Sach Khand (region of Truth), the purely spiritual grand-region which is God's (and spirit's) own country. While God resides in His prisitine form in Anami (the nameless), Sach Khand has two palacial regions, Alakh (indescribable) in and Agam (inaccessible); and in the 3rd region, Sat Lok (True world) God resides in His expressed form, which is also the home of His essence- the spirit; and that created from it, 2. Paar-Brahm (region beyond Brahm) or spiritual grand-region comprising the supra- causal planes, covered with a very flimsy layer of pure-mind and matter. Again, Paar-Brahm is divided into 2 regions: 1. Bhawargupha (the whirling cave) or Sohang, where the spirit knows itself to be of the same essense as God, and 2. Sunna (void), which is the plane of liberation ('Mukti Pad'), and from which the lower, Brahmand (triple region) was created. The two regions are separated by Maha-sunna (great Void), a dark, deep moat-like region protecting the Castle of the Lord, which only Param Sants, Sants and perfect Sadhus can cross, along with their initiates. This has also been described as the 'Ocean of the world' ('Bhav Saagar'), where many great masters came to a naught, saying 'this is not it' ('Neti-Neti'). The Negative grand region of Brahmand (region of Brahm) comprises: 1. Mind worlds, and created from these, 2. Material world. Mind worlds are two: 1. Universal Mind ('Brahmand' or the egg of Brahm) or the Causal plane, and created from it, 2. Individualized Mind ('And' or the egg) or the Astral plane. The third is the material world ('Pind') or the Physical plane, where we live. Together, these comprise the 'Triple worlds' of Brahmand. Since, mind's true nature, like that of matter, is also non- conscious or inert ('Jada')- although it has a life-like appearance due to the light of the conscious being reflected from it, the true nature of the Brahmand is also non-life. The triple ('triloki') causal, astral and material planes are ruled respectively by Brahm (Onkar), Shiv (Kaal-Niranjan) and Shakti (energy: e=mc2!). Lifeless but material Brahmand came alive when God's essence- souls were given to the Negative Power (satan!) that rules these triple worlds. Here they are entrapped in the cycle of births-rebirths in 8.4 million life forms due to the karmic bondage resulting from the 5 'thieves'- lust ('kaam'), anger ('krodh'), greed ('lobh'), attachment ('moh') and ego ('ahankar'). The Negative Power either keeps the spirit engrossed in meaningless exoteric rituals, or even when it provides esoteric knowledge, this knowledge is incomplete (disinformation!). It starts several (incomplete) religions of its own by sending its own avataars, wherein intermediate stages are mistaken to to be the ultimate ones. In these, Shakti, Shiv and Brahm (and in some higher religions, Akshara and Sohang) are mistaken to be God. As a consequence, the spirit cannot find true God and cannot find its way to Sach Khand (its true Home) where it can first merge with the Master or Sat Purush, achieving self-realization and finally with Anami, achieving God-realization. In contrast, the Positive Power comes to liberate. This it does by connecting the spirit to the holy Word or Naam. Interestingly, even 'religions' based on teachings of Positive Masters- such as Christianity or Sikhism are not spared- the moment the Masters are gone, they are converted into a mere ritualistic 'shell'. Thus while both Jesus and Sikh Masters clearly taught vegetarianism, most of the Christians and Sikhs are non- vegetarians today! The 3 grand-creations, Sach Khand, Paar-Brahmand and Brahmand are ruled respectively by the powers Akaal or non-time, Mahakaal or great- time (both of them Dayal- merciful) and Kaal- time. Also, at Sach Khand, the inert (in the form of 1. Mind & 2. Matter) is created from the conscious. The entire creation below Sach Khand is an weblike interplay of the 1. Spiritual current, together with the currents of 2. Purusha and 3. Prakriti. The triple currents of: spirit, mind and matter, also form respectively, the +ve, neuter and -ve poles of the creation. The influence of mind and matter progressively increases in the lower planes and these are known in the various planes of creation (below Sach Khand) as: Mind Matter Kaal Aadya Purush Prakriti Brahm Maya Niranjan Jyot Man (mind) Iccha (desire) Table-1 In the first two spiritual planes of Paar-Brahm, their influence is very weak, but below these in the three planes of Brahmand, it is strong. At Sach Khand itself, these are only latent. --lov for ever, Karta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
