ALL ARE LESSONS TO LEARN, NOT
TO ARGUE, BUT REJOICE
Tablet One

<1>In all of our writings, there are points
and truths which have happened throughout creation and history. Also
there are points that might become objects of argument between
different people.
<2>That might happen because they would not
want to understand these truths in deeper levels, or because of
their attachments to a special religion, race, etc., therefore they
argue.
<3>But all these things have happened as
lessons for humanity to learn from and so find the way of
God
and truth behind this universe. <4>Therefore no argument
should arise and a person should contemplate the truth behind them
and gain the insight of the message they deliver. Then he would
progress in the path instead of wasting time in unnecessary
arguments and endless misunderstandings.
<5>In order that the truth of the short essay
above is clearly demonstrated, some of these lessons in brief will
be explained below.
|
|
God
is everlasting, complete, without beginning and end. He is
one and indivisible.
|
|
<6>Lesson: Everything is
God. |
|
In the beginning the operative powers of
the three
creative
forces (three
gunas) were not released but were in the passive or
balanced state ( ). So the universe was in a state of
"Be"-ness.
|
|
<8>Lesson: Everything was eternal and
God (universe) just "WAS"
with the potential of creating and being created. |
|
Through the desire of God, the operative powers of the
three gunas were released.
|
|
<9>Lesson:
It is desire (movement of the
raja guna) which
activates the
Mind, and then the
creative powers of the
Mind (three
creative forces)
are released. So when desire is directed toward the external world,
its creative powers will be used in that direction and man becomes
the slave of Maya. But
when it is directed toward God
and the internal, the Soul releases itself from the bondage of the
external world.
<10>Also when the desires of the external
world are fulfilled according to
God's Laws, they become spiritualized and help the person toward
Divinity. So desires do not have to be destroyed, but should be
spiritualized.
|
|
The illusion of being separated from the
universe (God) was
created because of the influences of the
ego ("I"). This is
the cause of suffering and inflicting suffering on others.
|
|
<11>Lesson:
The cause of the illusion of
separation (false ego)
is the essence of all
evils. This results in
attraction toward the external world and the illusion of separation
becomes even stronger. This results in the arousal of worldly
desires, attachments, and greed. Greed intensifies the
attraction, and the cycle goes on and on.
<12>In truth, some people are afraid to
accept
God as everything and to
dissolve their
false egos into IT,
<13>because each human (unit
consciousness) wants to be God himself.
<14>So there is a great resistance to accept
God as superior to themselves because if they do so, then their
egos will be humbled. Most
people, because of their false pride, do not want this to happen to
them. Their
ego, they think, is the
only thing they have to cling onto. <15>Therefore they reject
the truth and
God all together.
<16>Nothing human (egoistical) is good, not
even human "love," because it is egoistical (conditional). So humans
should become
gods in order for all things to come to the right order.
