"And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a
mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:"
"And he opened his mouth, and taught them,
saying," (Matthew 5:1-2)
<1>He taught these things to his disciples,
not to the people, because the multitudes were only interested in
favors and miracles, not the truth.
"Blessed are the poor in
spirit: for theirs is
the kingdom of
heaven." (Matthew
5:3)
<2>The poor in
spirit
refers to those refined Souls who hate evildoings and false
teachings ("deeds
of the Nicolaitanes" Rev. 2:6). They intuitively know that
there is more in life than only physiological satisfaction, safety
needs, and pursuance of
Maya
(worldly attraction).
<3>Therefore, they long for that lasting
happiness. They will come to this conclusion that the Kingdom
Of
Heaven is only
within. So they forsake society and try to find the Kingdom Of
Heaven within. They become escapists. <4>That is why
people will call them poor in
spirit, because they
do not have the courage to face hardship. So they inherit the
Kingdom Of Heaven within, only.
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted." (Matthew 5:4)
<5>(
)
Those poor in
spirit who have
overcome being escapists and instead try to stay in society -- "thy
first love" (Rev. 2:4) -- are those who mourn. They are poor
in
spirit and hate evildoings and false teachings, and they see so
much wrongdoing and inequity in society. So they mourn over
being oppressed in that environment and are very unhappy as to why
they do not receive their fair share. They shall be comforted
when the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth
comes, and they will receive their fair share.
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit
the earth." (Matthew 5:5)
<6>(
)
When a person mourns for a while and no one listens to him, he
realizes that he is too powerless to be able to gain whatever he
wants. So he starts to conform instead of mourn. He
becomes a meek person; he becomes submissive. He will endure
suffering with patience and without resentment.
<7>However, these are the first people who
will submit themselves when the Kingdom Of
Heaven
comes, and because they consist of the majority of the people, they
will inherit the earth.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Matthew 5:6)
<8>(
)
A meek person, however, after being submissive for some time will
realize that the reason for all his and others' suffering is because
of the lack of righteousness in all levels of society. That is
when he will create a strong desire for righteousness. He
hungers and thirsts for righteousness to be established. These
are the ones who will be filled when the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth
is established and righteousness restored.
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall
obtain mercy." (Matthew 5:7)
<9>(
)
If a person progresses more in understanding himself (overcoming the
false ego), he
will realize that in all the last four stages, he has been following
the demands of his own
false ego. He was unhappy about society and was trying to
change it because he wanted a fair share for himself.
<10>He had been in his first three
chakras which are
related to the
false ego.
However, when he overcomes being selfish about what he wants himself
then he creates a great compassion for those in distress. He
realizes that overcoming ego
is a hard thing, so he creates compassion for those who are lost
because of their
false egos.
He becomes merciful. So he himself will obtain mercy from
heaven.
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they
shall see
God." (Matthew 5:8)
<11>(
)
A pure in heart is one whose innermost character, feelings, and
inclinations are free from moral fault or guilt. He is a man
after
God's own heart.
He is a man who not only is merciful, but has created a universal
point of view with utmost compassion for all things in it, so he
looks at the universe exactly the way
God
looks at it. <12>Therefore, he will start to understand how
God feels about all
things in His universe, and he can see
God face-to-face in all the manifested universe.
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they
shall be called the children of
God." (Matthew 5:9)
<13>(
)
A peacemaker is one who brings harmony, tranquility, or
quietness to people internally and externally. These are
the ones who not only have reached the state of being pure in heart,
but are actively engaged in establishing the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth
(establishing
Daharma) in
order to bring that harmony and tranquility to the world. They
are the real
Paravipras, who
with their spiritual understanding and powers, bring the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth. They are the children of
God, because they have
completely realized His Will and are trying to fulfill it.
They are good children of
God.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven." (Matthew 5:10)
<14>(
)
These are the ones who have already reached a very high
consciousness or
Pure
Consciousness and have come back to earth in order to establish
the righteousness. They have no interest in this external
material world for any selfish desires, but are interested in the
establishment of the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth in order to see that the proper
environment is created for all to progress physically, mentally, and
spiritually. They have no fear of being persecuted for their
ideology and goal, because they know eternal life is everlasting and
forever.
<15>Theirs is the Kingdom Of
Heaven (within and
without), because these are the ones who are really worthy to assume
the leadership of humanity. They will be the Great
Paravipras (Maha-Paravipras)
who will establish and maintain the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
<16>In reality the teaching of
Esa finishes here.
The rest of chapter 5 is the description of the characteristics of a
Paravipra.
