EXTRACTS FROM THE TEACHINGS

VISHNU PURANA

CHAPTER 8

Manu and his Offsprings  4

Kama gave birth to Harsha (Exuberance) through his wife Rati (Enjoyment). Hence Harsha is the grandson of Dharma.

Adharma (Lawlessness) gave birth to Anrita (Misrepresentation) through his wife Himsa (Violence). He also gave birth to two other sons, Bhaya (Fear), Naraka (Hell), and to a daughter named Nikriti (Insult).

Bhaya and Naraka married Maya (Illusion) and Vedana (Suffering) respectively.

Maya gave birth to a son named Mrityu (Death), who carries away the beings.

Vedana gave birth to a son named Dukha (Sorrow), whose father is Raurava (the Worm that eats away).

Mrityu gave birth to five sons:

1.      Vyadhi (Disease)

2.      Jara (Old Age)

3.      Soka (Lamentation)

4.      Trishna (Thirst to possess)

5.      Krodha (Anger).

All these are the children of Adharma.

Death and his children have transgression of the Law as their keynote (disease, old age, spite and the thirst to possess something are the traits which make the mind feel that it is the master. Then the master feels his life unstable. Haunted by fears from all sides life runs away, as if chased by hounds. This shapes motives that weave the web of individual life as opposed to everything else. Then the inevitable result is the apparent need to transgress the Law. Hence these traits are called the progeny of Adharma). They have neither wives nor children and are all Brahmacharis. This means they live on supra-physical planes and that they do not reproduce.

For example, neither sorrow nor disease nor the fear of death is inherited through the biological phenomenon or reproduction. When a child is born, the only things that are reproduced are the parts of his physical body, mind, senses and the higher principles. All the rest is acquired by the mind after birth due to the interaction of the mind with the objective plane. Hence no evil is ever inherited by anyone in this creation.

In the language of the Scriptures the sons of transgression have neither wives nor children. All these manifestations of evil are the various Rudra manifestations of children. All these manifestations of evil are the various Rudra manifestations of Lord Vishnu, His various manifestations on the plane of the Rudras. They form the various causes of daily Pralaya to this creation.

Fourteenth Hymn

continuation

People who don’t serve they have no way. They have to go round and round and round the outer boundary of the temple. People who serve can find the door. Otherwise the door is there, but it cannot be seen. So, She stands for sacrifice. She recommends sacrifice for all beings. The Devas do sacrifice. The Masters of wisdom do sacrifice. The planetary bodies sacrifice. The elements sacrifice. The minerals sacrifice. The plant sacrifices. The animal sacrifices, and we also should learn to sacrifice. You see the sacrifice of the animal. Its milk is used, its blood is used, its flesh is used, its bone is used, its skin is used also as warm clothings, chappels etc. We cannot boast to be of greater sacrifice than the animal. Our skin and our bones are not so useful as the animal skin to serve. That is why we need to serve more.

The Mother recommends by her own example: Sacrifice! So, all in creation stands for sacrifice. The all sacrificing ritual is called ‘the creation’: Tasmât Yagnat Sarvâhutâha. The Yagna of Sarvâhuta means: all sacrifice, all burning sacrifice. The same word is there in Jewish scriptures. The all sacrificing ritual in Judaism is called holocaust, but then it is wrongly applied to serve something else that happened in the last century.

So, the creation is a sacrifice, and the Mother stands as the symbol of it. This sacrifice is called Yagna in Sanskrit, and the name of “Mahabharata” is Yaja. Yagna is Yaja. Yaja is sacrifice. If you do Yaja, you get Jaya. Jaya means fulfilment. That is how Veda Vyasa has conceived the 5th Veda which more lucidly, simply and clearly explains the essence of the Vedas. So, Jaya means fulfilment, the ultimate victory. The ultimate victory is finding truth, not winning the war, and Yudhisthira gained the ultimate truth. How could he gain the truth? By conducting his whole life as sacrifice. So is the life of Jesus, Moses, and all grand Masters of wisdom. This sacrifice is the greatest message coming from the Mother, and She stands as your backbone, if you stand for sacrifice. Otherwise your backbone will only give you diseases. My back is paining, my back is not bending, my back is not elastic. It will not, because you have other habits. For the sacrificial one the Mother is the backbone. Otherwise the Mother is there, but dormant with you. There are so many classes spoken on sacrifice. We don’t have to speak again.

Yaja – Jaya: I have beaten so much these two words, 18 – 81, and also the Austrian drama “The Magic Flute” which also gives the same message of 18 and 81. A lot is said. This is only to recollect about sacrifice.

The primary kindergarten of sacrifice is service. When there is no service, there is no entry even into kindergarten. When there is no kindergarten, there is no occult study. Please note this. From time to time we have to remind ourselves.

Ârdrâm Yah Karinîm Yashtim

Suvarnâm – Here it speaks of the Sushumna, the one which is capable of all colours. There it was Pingala, the honey coloured one. It is Suvarnâm, the original light which is capable of manifesting many rays and many colours.

Hema Malinîm – the golden lotus garland. There it was white lotus garland. The whole theme is golden and diamond.

You see the books of Master Djwhal Khul. The whole theme is etheric body and causal body. Golden body – third initiation. Diamond body – fifth initiation.

Hiranya Suvarna – Here it is the golden lotus.

In the dawn hours and the dusk hours it is golden, and in the mid-noon hours it is diamond or silver. So, at the peak of the creation it is full like diamond light. When it is beginning it is golden, when it is again disappearing it is golden. That is why you see golden colour during the sun rise or moon rise time or sun set time or moon set time. When it is setting or rising it is golden. You see golden and other colours. At other times, when the Moon or Sun are high in the sky, the light is white or bluish white, and in the case of Sun it is brilliant white. That is Hema Malini, the golden lotus garland.

Sûryâm – the solar principle, the light of the Sun which is capable of all colours, and the rest is repeated from the last hymn and even from the previous hymns.

Sûryam Hiran Mayîm Lakshmîm, Jâtavedo Mamâvaha – “O You Agni, the One born out of the Veda, the One from whom the Vedas are born again. Please ensure that this light is bestowed on me, that the light turns favourably on me, that the light approaches me, that the light embraces me, and that the light alerts me into That Light, so that I become That Light.”

It is so much working with the light. That is how every hymn speaks of different qualities of the Mother and makes the mind contemplate upon the grand concepts of light which would enable the practitioner to purify himself and walk into light. That is the purpose of the hymn. Thus the 14 hymns are covered.
