Chapter 5
"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 the 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 society and try to change it toward
good (God). So they inherit the Kingdom Of Heaven within.
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted." (Matthew 5:4)
<5>()
Those who are poor in
spirit yet have overcome
being escapist 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 about why they do
not receive their fair share. <6>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)
<7>()
When a person mourns for awhile 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 surrenders to the environmental pressure. He will endure
suffering with patience and without resentment.
<8>However, these are the first people who will
submit themselves when the Kingdom Of
Heaven
(justice) comes, and because they consist of the majority of the
people, they will inherit the earth. (For a deeper understanding of
verses 3 to 10, read chapters 2 and 3 of the book
Revelation of The Revelation).
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Matthew 5:6)
<9>()
A meek person, however, after
surrendering to
the pressure for some time, will realize that the reason for all his
and others' suffering is because of the lack of righteousness in all
levels. That is why he will create a strong desire for
righteousness. He hungers and thirsts for righteousness to be
established. <10>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)
<11>()
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 to have a fair share for himself. He had been
in his first three chakras
which are related to the
false ego. <12>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 that
ego is such 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)
<13>()
A pure in heart person 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 about all things in it. <14>So, he
looks at the universe exactly the way
God looks at it. 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)
<15>()
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. <16>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 the Will of the
Father and are trying to
fulfill it. They are good children of their
Father.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven." (Matthew 5:10)
<17>()
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. <18>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 established for all to progress physically, mentally,
and spiritually. <19>They have no fear of being persecuted for their
ideology and goal, because they know the eternal life is
everlasting.
<20>Theirs is the Kingdom Of
Heaven (within and
without), because these are the ones who are really worthy to assume
the leadership of humanity. <21>They will be the Great
Paravipras (Maha-Paravipras)
who will establish and maintain the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
<22>In reality the teaching of
Esa finishes here. The rest
of chapter 5 is the description of the characteristics of a
Paravipra.
