For learning any knowledge or art a
teacher is required who could guide us step by step, into the various stages of
that art or knowledge which we desire to learn. If his teacher does not guide a
student he can never excel in the art of drawing pictures. Guidance of a
teacher enables the student to get his ability of drawing the pictures hidden
in him activated. The spiritual teacher first arouses the abilities of the
disciple and then teaches him the spiritual knowledge. It is important, for
finding a spiritual teacher the spiritual associate should seek the company of
a spiritual person in order to study his daily routines and should closely
observe that how much is the affinity of that person with his own soul. Whether
the worldly affairs are riding upon that person's nerves or he enjoys the
tranquil state of detachment. Only that
person is worthy of becoming a spiritual mentor in whose
Company one's mind remains attentive
towards the transcendental realm and as long as one is there one should remain
safe from the disturbing thoughts of fears, phobias, anxiety, depression and
tension. The diminishing certitude resurges in such a person's company. The
salient features of a spiritual teacher are that neither has he any expectation
from anybody nor he has lust or jealousy. One feels one's mind growing enlarged
in the company of a spiritual person, mind gets to explore the cosmic system
and the knowledge about the unseen world starts transpiring upon the people
present in his company.
The
urges operative in man during day and night have been estimated to be eleven
thousand. Each and every state is governed by an Elohistic appellation.
Everybody
having a soul in the universe has two types of senses operative in him; first,
the senses which take us closer to the unseen realm, and the second one are the
senses, which act like a wall and hinder man from beholding the unseen.
It is a law that man lives in the
confines of spatio-temporal limits when he is in the world of material
phenomenon whereas in the unseen realm time and space act according to man's
will. This whole cosmos is traveling in a silhouette of light. The light
through which our eyes see has two planes. In
one plane, gravity and dimensions both are partaking whereas in the other one,
only the dimensions are there. The information given from the upper plane of
the light are directly sighted and heard by the senses. Some obstacle hinders
the information that we receive from the lower plane because the senses cannot
grasp them comprehensively. The information received from the upper plane
becomes an obstacle for the information of the lower plane as if a solid wall
has come in their way. This wall is so hard that our senses cannot penetrate
this wall despite their best efforts. The information of the upper plane is of
two types.
1- Information pertaining to motives. We have partial and biased
attitudes towards such information
2- The information, which are not associated with individual
interests. These attract our impartial attitude.
Deliberation,
keeping both the types of information in view, reveals the fact that man enjoys
two angles of perception; one, which is limited to individuality and the other,
which is beyond the limits of individuality. When we observe in individuality,
the universe does not partake and when we descry out of individuality the
universe partakes in our perception. At this very juncture man finds himself
lost in the hypothetical spheres of physical sciences. When a man of understanding
analyzes these hypothetical circles, he in fact, ventures on a luminated
path. Everyone who travels on this enlightened path appoints a destination in
the cosmic perspective and parapsychology helps him covering this distance like
a guiding light.
When a member of the cosmic family;
the man, gets himself trapped in the limiting physical circles, a hollowness is
created in the cosmic system and this hollowness like an infliction deprives
mankind from peace of mind. This is the stage when the need of the one versed
with the real knowledge of information is desperately felt. This man who possesses
a liberal mind takes his students on the paths of metaphysical sciences after
liberating them from the quagmire of personal interests and selfishness. With
advancement on this path the students gradually adopt a liberal approach of
thinking. This free and liberal thinking causes this conscious world to enter
into the unconscious sphere.
Man is, simultaneously,
existing in two worlds. One is the conscious world. This is a limited world
confined in limits and boundaries. The other is the unconscious world; a
limitlessly vast world, containing millions of galaxies and each galaxy having
billions of worlds (earths) is there. Expert spiritualists, lucubrating their
experiences, tell that every earth is inhabited with mankind. Due to gradation
in time, features of mankind throughout the whole universe remain unchanged but
because of slight.
