Paravipras Are the Implementers of the
Will of the Lord
There
are three ways to know God. All three ways are covered in
The Greatest Sign. The very center of The Greatest Sign
is the devotional part (
).
That is when you love God with all your heart, mind, and spirit.
The top one is the submission (
).
You do the Will of God and you let God work through you. And
the bottom one is the way of knowledge (
).
You meditate and you realize how the universe works, and it cannot
be by accident.
So those are
three ways to know God. But we recommend that you combine the
three together. That is more powerful and accelerates the
process.
We recommend
the first sign (
)
as the meditation, meditation to reach knowledge. You
meditate. You go within yourself. You realize God there.
Then you work
with the
Communities Of Light (
).
That is Karma Yoga. You are working His Will, to create an
environment for everything and everyone. You sacrifice, so you
humble yourself (
).
You try to do things for others instead of always for yourself.
This is the way of humility.
Even then you
realize that your work is done through you by God, and you become
submissive (
).
Then you
expand your mind to universalism (
)
and embrace the whole universe. You destroy all narrowness of
the mind. Nothing binds you. There is no race. No
sex. No nationality. Nothing. The only thing is,
you are one with the universe, which is God. So you expand
your mind.
Such a person
is a dynamic spiritual individual (
),
a Paravipra, because he is not bound by anything. He is
completely free. That is how you become a dynamic force for
God.
Then you will
surely know God, because He is going to open doors for you that you
had never expected. Things will happen, and you know it is not
you. You cannot do those things. You were just a regular
person walking around like everyone else. “How come these
great things are happening to me? I am not doing this. It
should be God doing it.” Then you realize Him, love Him, and
know Him!
***
All
of those who follow these different paths, according to their
natures (daharmas) should direct their knowledge, devotion, or
action toward establishing the desired environment (
)
so that others can also benefit from their progress and follow the
path toward God-realization (according to their natures).
Only then
will their knowledge (Jnana), devotion (Bhakti), or action (Karma)
be blessed. Then all will be following His Will and therefore
become Divine (
).
So no matter what your path is, you are a part of the Eternal
Divine Path and will be perfected by following it.
***
A
Paravipra is here to do the Will of God and that is all they want to
do. And they never waiver. Maybe they change their
course, maybe they find better ways to do it and go on and do it,
but they never say, “No, I am going to stop doing it,” because if
God calls you it does not matter where you are put, you are going to
do the Will of God.
***
That
quiet Voice of God is so quiet that you cannot even hear it.
You think you heard it, but at the same time you do not know if you
heard it or not. But it is, at the same time, very powerful
and strong, and you have no doubt that it is Him. That is the
voice of God and He is guiding you toward what action is to be taken
to lead you to the next step.
That is what
meditation is all about. Meditation is to know what is the
Will of God. You know, someone asked me, “What am I supposed
to do in my life? I do not know my talents.” Go meditate
and hear that voice within you clearly tell you what is the goal of
your life and why you are here.
Of course,
reaching that quiet voice sometimes is difficult. We are
living in a world that is noisy. It is full of pulls,
attractions, and a lot of things that call us toward them. So
our minds are not calm enough to hear that voice.
That is why
God sends the Scriptures, to guide you to that quiet mind. It
is just like a very hard path with a lot of turns, holes, and
different creatures who might snatch you up along the way.
***
If
you have a map, a blueprint of how to get somewhere, or build
something, that map will make it easier for you to reach where you
are going or build what you want to build. The Scriptures are
the map to knowing the Spirit. The Scriptures show us how to
go to the Spirit. And the Spirit is Good.
***
When
a man realizes God, sees His Power, Peace, Beauty, Skills, etc., and
realizes that only He is true and all other things are temporary, it
would be like an earthly person who finds a great treasure in a
field and sells all that he has in order to buy that field and
become the owner of that treasure. So a true God-realized
person renounces all for Him.
***
God
never forces us to listen to Him. He could, He could force us
to follow His Will. All of us would fall on our faces and say,
“Yes, whatever You say.”
But He does
not want robots. The rest of the creation are His robots.
He tells the flowers to grow, and they grow. He says, “You
flowers grow in the spring,” and those flowers grow in the spring.
He says, “You flower in the fall,” and they flower in the fall.
“You have this color and you have that color.” These are His
robots. That is His creation and they follow Him exactly.
But He
doesn’t want humans to be like that. They have to have the
choice to choose Him. That is the most wonderful thing about
the human, that they can choose God, or not.
Then that
human can say, “No, I do not want the world. I want You.”
That is wonderful to God. That was one of the reasons for
creating the human. Abraham was God’s friend. He wants
your friendship. He wants your understanding, your love, and
your really willfully accepting Him instead of the world.
***
There
has been a great and long argument on “predestination or choice.”
Some say all are predestined, and others say man has choice.
In truth,
both of them are correct. To demonstrate this, let us use an
example:
If we imagine
that there is a king in a land and he rules the land with great
authority and power, then all his subjects obey his will. So
we can suppose that he has complete control over his people.
However, if
we consider his prime minister and a peasant in his kingdom, which
one has more freedom of choice in his life?
Of course the
peasant does, because he can choose where he wants to live, how to
spend his day, how to relate to others, etc. But the prime
minister or those who are closer to the king, have a much smaller
choice in these regards. However, they have more power in the
land.
Furthermore,
if the king willed some peasant to do something for him, such a
person also loses his choice and has to follow the will of the king.
Also those
who know the will of the great king and follow it will lose their
choices but will receive his mercy and come to be in his presence.
That is also
true between the human and the Father. Those who come close to
Him lose their choices, because they have to follow His Will.
Those who do not follow His Will have choice but will not come close
to Him. Those whom He chooses to do His Will, knowingly or
unknowingly, will do it, and those who do His Will, will go unto
Him.
As in a land
there are laws which all have to follow and if they do not, they
will be punished, also there are Laws in the universe that all have
to follow.
So although
those who are peasants in His Kingdom have the choice to choose,
their choices are limited. They cannot go against His Laws,
but are freer than those who are closer to Him.
Therefore,
those who are close to Him, follow His Will, or are chosen for a
task, have their lives predestined. But those who are neither
close to Him, nor follow His Will, nor are chosen, have choice in
their lives, and their choices shape their progress or otherwise.
***
So
do the Will of the Father, and then enjoy the life when He calls
you. When you reach there then you will become one-pointed,
and the will is there because Will is Father. If you are one
with Him, then your will is His Will and there is no reason not to
have will, because it is not yours anyway. It is His Will.
Your body is
just like a channel and you just go on doing His Will. You do
not even know if you have a will or not. You just know it gets
done, and you do it.
***
Those
who are in their higher selves are so close to God that whatever
they desire will happen. However, because they are pure in
heart, they never desire anything that is contrary to the Will of
God and the purpose of His creation.
***
If
you have been called to do the Will of God, eventually, you have no
choice. If you have a choice, then you have not been called to
do the Will of God.
