PREFACE
Understanding and experience are the two legs of the person
who treads on the path of spirituality*. As the soul understands the
truths about the self it experiences newer and wider mental horizons.
The deeper experiences lead to wisdom at a subtler level. The farther
I go into the depth of experience, the deeper it becomes. It is like
diving into the ocean. The deeper I go, the more I experience. In the
practice of Rajyoga, you have to first experience the self in depth. The
technique of expanding the point of white light into a seed or zero, and
seeing the seven basic attributes of the soul in seven hues of the
" V I B G Y O R " light spectrum affords deep experience of the soul.
Visualizing the Supreme Father— God Shiva in His infinite form,
radiating seven hues of V I B G Y O R representing the basic
attributes of bliss (balance), knowledge (truth), peace, love,
joy, purity and power respectively, allows us to have deep
experience of each basic attribute (Primary Quality) from
God. The four steps of visualization, perception, reception and
distribution involved in this seven-ray meditation give us an
indelible experience of the self and God. By linking a specific
relation with each attribute we are able to enjoy the sweetness of
the relation and the attribute together most naturally. This way
we become an embodiment of each basic attribute, and then the
inculcation of S e c o n d a r y Qualities or D i v i n e Virtues too

PREFACE Xlll
* The information that the body has four mortal components that
need to be kept aligned to the immortal self enables us to take
care of these four components and create harmony a m o n g them,
and this in turn enables us to enjoy better Physical, Mental, Social
and Psychic health.

The Cosmic World Cycle is about to close
as seen in the picture. The sweet and short
C o n f l u e n c e Age is on the verge of
completion. That means, the Age of Truth
(Sat Yuga) is about to dawn. Let us make
all-out efforts to transform ourselves through
Godly knowledge and Rajyoga meditation
presented in this book to ensure our
presence in the forthcoming Golden Age.

ter is faster compared to that of cold water. All forms of energy are
inter-convcrtible, and this transformation is governed by the first and
second Laws of Thermodynamics. According to the first law, energy is
neither lost nor gained when converted from one form to another. The
second law, the Law of Entropy, states that wherever there is motion,
energy at a higher level (potential energy) is transformed into energy at
a lower level (kinetic energy) until there is nothing left. A fire burning
out, the growth, aging and death of the body, a bouncing ball coming to
a stop are all examples of entropy.
We have seen that physical energy exists in nature in its poten-
tial state at the atomic, molecular, elemental and compound levels of
matter, whether living or non-living. Hence even a dead body has physi-
cal energy. The same physical energy trapped in elements, compounds,
molecules and atoms of living matter is known as biological energy
while this body is alive. We shall now examine how the atoms, the
point sourccs of physical energy, get themselves transformed into the
biological energy of cclls, tissues, organs and systems of the human
body.

phenomena. The biological aspects of the human being have been dis-
cussed in the preceding part. Now we shall examine behaviour and
mental phenomena for which we have to know the mind first. God
Shiva, the Ocean of Knowledge, has revealed that mind, intellect and
Sanskaras (personality traits) are the three faculties of the soul, the
infinitesimal point source of metaphysical energy.
Mind is the 'emotional self' which feels, wishes, experiences the
emotions of love, hate, anger, envy etc. and projects mental pictures of
places, people, and situations. Mental energy is very potent and fast
and can transcend space and time easily. It is often called the 'heart', in
order to show the depth of feelings.
Intellect is the 'rational s e l f , which visualises, contemplates, dis-
criminates, judges, decides and restrains the mind and physical organs,
or prompts them to act.
Sanskaras include not only the seven basic attributes of the soul
and personality traits, but contain he complete data on the 'roles' a
soul, the 'actor', has to play in the 'eternal world drama'. It is based on
this information encoded in the Sanskara that the soul descends to the
corporeal world from the soul-world, taking birth in a particular fam-
ily, society and continent. The soul, once embodied in the womb of the
mother, has to complete the entire cycle of birth and re-birth, enacting
different roles till the end of the cycle (Kalpa), when it will return to
the soul-world. It then comes back to the drama stage at the same pre-
ordained time and place and the cycle repeats identically. During each
cycle, the soul inhabits different human bodies of different forms, races,
cultures and countries, learning lessons and gaining wisdom. In cach
of these births the soul performs actions thus creating karmic accounts.
The fruits of these karmas (good or bad) are received in the same life-
time or in later lives.
Consciouness
The soul or psyche, the point source of metaphysical energy, is
Vlll

the soul dwells. In other words, each ccll of the body acquires the qual-
ity of sentience due to its link with the metaphysical energy of the soul
through the nervous and endocrine systems.
It is important to realise that although biological energy in the
cells can sustain itself and multiply when provided with a conducive
biological environment and the heart and kidney would continue to
live likewise, the whole cardiovascular system or urinary system can-
not survive in the absencc of the soul, the integrating factor, if isolated.
Thus, life in its real sense goes beyond the biochemical and biophysi-
cal processes.
Having delved into the intricacies of the life process, it is nec-
essary to understand the phenomenon of death. There arc four types of
death:
1 Necrobiosis -the natural death of cells in the living body where
the dead cells arc continually replaced by new ones. It is said that
we rcplacc our stomach cells every five weeks.
2. Necrosis - the unnatural death of cclls as a result of noxious agents.
3. Somatic death -the death of the whole body. In this case, even
though the organ-systems cease functioning many tissues and cells
continue to live up to a ccrtain period of time. If these tissues are
removed within the critical time and provided the proper biological
environment, they can be used for different purposes as explained
in the preceding paragraphs.
4. Brain death - t h e final death. When the brain bccomes dead, a
command centre in the brain triggers final death. This is the final
act the soul performs. Then the soul departs from the body to con-
tinue its journey of further lives.
The Role of Metaphysical Energies in
Health and Disease
We have seen in the foregoing paragraphs how the metaphysi-
cal energy of the soul in the form of vibrations of thoughts, judgments,
teelings, emotions etc. emanating from the faculties of mind and intel-
lect. gets integrated with the biological energy of the body through the
nervous and endocrine systems. The influence of these two subtle mcta-
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
physical energies (mind and intellect) on the physical body is being re-
searched extensively by physicians, psychotherapists, biochemists, physi-
ologists etc.
Louise. L. Hay, a metaphysical lecturer, in her book "Heal Your
Body' " says: "The way to control your life is to control your choice of
words and thoughts". The mental patterns that causc disease in the
body are criticism, anger, resentment and guilt. The book gives a list of
mental patterns that cause disease in the body, and suggests new thought
patterns that will remove the need for that condition. When the need is
gone, the manifestation (the symptoms of the disease) ceases to be there,
just as a plant dies when the root is cut away. This clearly brings out
that the physical well being of a person is dependent on the positive
thoughts or positive vibrations of mental (metaphysical) energy.
Arian Sarris, a transpcrsonal psychotherapist, in her book 'Heal-
ing the Past for a Vibrant Future' (Published by Pustak Mahal in India)
describes the integration of physical and metaphysical energies in the
human being quite vividly. According to her, a human being is made of
five bodies - t h e immortal Higher Self (HS) and four mortal bodies,
which are the etheric body (aura), the physical body, the mental body
and the emotional body. Mind and intellect, the subtle faculties (meta-
physical energies) of the embodied soul, function as the 'emotional
body' and 'mental body,' respectively. The HS is the pure essence of all
the other bodies combined. We shall examine these five bodies in detail
in the next chapter.
other. How does a human body think thoughts, play a piano, kill germs,
remove toxins and make a baby all at once? While your body is doing
that it is tracking the movement of stars and planets becausc your bio-
logical rhythms which arc called circadian rhythms, seasonal rhythms,
gravitational rhythms, lunar rhythms are actually the rhythms of the
cosmos. So your body is non- locally correlated instantly with the sym-
phony of the universe. The Vedic expression - ' Yadha Pinde Thadha
Brahmcuide' means - as the atom so is the universe, as is the micro-
cosm so is the macrocosm, as is the human body so is the cosmic body,
as is the human mind so is the cosmic mind. How does one single cell
differentiate in 50 replications into 100 trillion cells.. .by the process of
morphogenesis, and this takes place without information and energy
signals. So non-local correlation is a scientific description of omni-
science...".
Dr. H.K. Chopra said - "...our body is made• up of organs,
organs are made of tissues, tissues are made of cells, and cells are
made up of ...molecules...molecules are made of atoms, atoms are
made up of sub atomic structures...protons, neutrons...and beyond
that are Quarks and Bosons, and beyond that is the Quantum
Soup...where there is no matter...no liquid...and that is the source
of our emotions...our emotional intelligence ... We can go to this level
only through spiritual education...."
The foregoing excerpts give us a clcar understanding about the
inter rclatedness of the human souls with every thing else in this uni-
verse at the quantum level.

lect (mental body) and the sub-conscious mind (Sanskara) arc shown
to be three beams of denser light which spreads within the physical
body made of the grosser physical energies of the five gross elements -
earth, water, fire, air and space. Mind and intellect, the subtle faculties
(metaphysical energies) of the embodied soul, function as emotional
body and mental body respectively. The fifth body, the HS is the pure
essence of all the other bodies combined.
Enveloping the physical body is the etheric body that vibrates
at a higher frequency. The physical body is shaped and anchored upon
the energy blueprint (template) contained in the etheric body. Surround-
ing the etheric body is the aura that represents the sum total of a person's
energy patterns that can be seen as various intensities. Aura, the energy
shield or force field, expands and contracts according to our moods
and situations and may extend out to about 18 inches around the physi-
cal body. The Super Conscious Mind, Higher Self (HS) or Videhi is the
perfect bodiless stage of the embodied soul. It is said to reside within
the aura 6 to 8 inches above the head. The Crown Plexus is the 7th
Chakra on the top of the head. The HS or Videhi communicates with
the embodied soul, Dehi through this plexus by means of intutions or
the 'inner voice'. When this chakra is blocked by alien energy the Dehi
is cut off from the Videhi, i.e. its own wisdom. Then the Dehi (mind
and intellect) functions as per the directions of the intruding energy.
Etheric Body
It is a subtle body penetrating the physical body, vibrating at a
higher frequency. The physical body is shaped and anchored upon the
energy blue print (template) contained in the etheric body. There are
seven plexuses or ganglions called 'Chakras' in the etheric body that
allow us to absorb high frequencies of various kinds, including the
vital force (pranaj. These chakras process and pass them on to the
physical body. These energy centres regulate the flow of energy in and
out of the physical body. Each Chakra is represented in the aura by a
colour. The aura is the sum total of an individual's energy patterns
which may be seen as seven colours or as various intensities. These
include cosmic energies from outside the person, and changes brought

Focus your attention on your aura and visualise it covering you
from over your head to under your feet, and spreading 18 inches all
around. Feel the safety within the energy shield all around you. Imag-

right and right to left of your physical body holding the psychic combs.
Do not leave out any part, including under the feet. All the alien ener-
gies lodged in your aura fall on to the earth and get absorbed. You feel
light and energetic.
The Exercise:
• Imagine yourself holding a magic wand of gold that turns every-
thing touched by it into the present-time field.
• Tap the seven chakras in your etheric body at least seven times
each because your aura has seven layers.
• Tap your Videhi 8 inches above your head with the wand likewise.
Some consider the Videhi to be the 8 ^ chakra with white light
around it.
• Tap your feet and hands also with the wand, as they have their own
chakras.
• Touch your knees also seven times as they too have their own
chakras.
Regular practice of the above four exercises will ensure that
your aura is kept clean and all chakras are in present time. These are
the preliminary steps before undertaking any psychotherapeutic exer-
cises described by Arian Sarris, which the author has tried on himself
with positive results.
trauma suffered by any part of the body may heal, and we assume that
the trauma has vanished, but in fact it remains embedded in the organs
that have suffered the trauma. The physical body also receives abuse
through negative images thrown at it by one's own mental and emo-
tional selves, as well as by others - "Why are you so fat?" Why couldn't
you be taller?" etc. When enough traumas accumulate in the physical
body, they start manifesting as pain and sickness. Thus the pain or
sickness in the body is a cry for help to get rid of emotional trau-
mas. Without any kind of release, negative energies begin to toxify
the body eventually manifesting as life threatening diseases like can-
cer. For healing the physical body, those negative energies must be
released. That requires a complete attitudinal change, acceptance of
the body as it is, and flooding it with self-esteem.
early childhood is solidified in the next two years. There are three basic
'core issues' or fears that shape the belief system. They are: fear of
death, fear of abandonment and fear of loss of self-identity. Those fears
originate from an unfulfilled need for safety, for love, or for being your-
self, which is essential for fulfillment of your life's purpose. A person
with fear of death defines life according to the need for survival; "Will
I be safe or will I be destroyed?" A person who fears abandonment
defines life according to the need for love: "Will I get love, or be left
unloved? A person who fears loss of self defines life according to per-
sonal space: "Will 1 have the right to be myself; or will someone intrude
and take away my identity? These core beliefs may not seem obvious
in your daily life, but they underlie your behaviour, your feelings, your
beliefs, and every decision and action of yours. Because of the unful-
filled need for safety, love or self-identity you tend to believe that you
are unworthy of anything that would provide these. Then, whatever
you think, do or believe is in reaction to your core belief, either striving
to counter its influences, or succumbing to that belief.
According to Ken O'Donnell* the essential functions of the mind
(emotional self) are thoughts, imaginations, creation of ideas, sensa-
tions, desires, feelings and emotions. The soul uses the mind as a screen
or field on which thoughts, sensations and ideas arc projected as im-
ages. An experience, feeling or emotion is the impact of these projec-
tions. If I want to feel good, I have to have the type of thoughts that
bring the quality of goodness. However, the mind is subject to the
whims and inconsistencies of the intellect. Wherever the intellect
roams, the mind automatically follows, performing all of its essential
functions.
When you are caught in the grip of an emotional need, your heart
rules your head. Logic can neither cajole, nor force the Inner Child into
submission, because your child's emotional needs far outweigh your
mind's arguments or intellectual reasoning. A perfect example is over-
eating by adults in spite of a mental resolve not to do the same. This is
because the Inner Child's emotional cry for nurturing via food overrides

your logic at the moment. The mental self, of course, gets its revenge
with its continual negative mental barrage: "You can't do anything right,
you will always be fat; no one will love you that way" ctc. When you
clear away the painful patterns that keep you loeked in non-loving be-
liefs and behaviours, the 'child' gets bathed in deep love and you too get
bathed in love. In this way, you relieve the Inner Child of its fears, and
open up yourself for nurturing by God.

THE HUMAN BEING (JEEVATMA) 27
Here the seven basic attributes of the soul, and the Supreme Soul
arc linked to the seven hues of the light spectrum - VIBGYOR, based
on the frequency at which particles of light energy (photons) move.
Violet, ultra-violet and other high frequency radiations have more en-
ergy, and hence have greater frequencies and shorter wave lengths
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
than red and infra-red photons that have longer wave lengths and lower
frequencies. Based on this principle, the seven attributes of the soul can
be linked to seven hues of V1BGYOR thus.* Violet photon, the subtlest
energy, is linked to bliss, which is the most balanced state of the soul,
the point source of metaphysical energies. The expanded point, the zero
is shown to have seven radial photon fields with the subtle violet photon
field ofbliss at the top. The indigo photon field of knowledge is the next
clockwise; next to this arc the blue photon field of peace; the green
photon field of love; the yellow photon field of joy; the orange photon
field of purity and the red photon field of spiritual powers.
The subtler metaphysical energies having shorter wave lengths
and more energy content than the physical energies, can control the
latter effectively. That's why our desires and intents arc so powerful a
force in nature that they can literally organise space-time events.

The linking of the VIBGYOR spectrum with seven attributes is based on intuitions.
Godly Knowledge and technical information. I have been using this linkage for
purifying, empowering and activating the seven c h a k r a s in the etheric (subtle)

lues, values and all the soul's experiences, projects thoughts, de-
sires or feelings on to the mind's screen, initiating either a positive
or negative chain of awareness-thought-decision-action and expe-
rience depending on the state of soul-consciousness or hody-con-
sciousness, respectively. A thought, desire or feeling arises in the
human mind based on past experiences recorded in sanskar. The
negative experiences of the recent past get projected as negative
thoughts, desires or feelings frequently because they are at the top
of the stockpile of experiences in the receptacle of sanskar. Through
the practice of soul-consciousness and Rajayoga (RY) we are able
to dig out the original attributes of the soul from the bottom of the
stockpile in the receptacle of sanskar. Thus, the positive chain of
awareness-thought-decision-action and experience gets repeated
every time we practise Rajayoga. With Continued practice of
Rajayoga, the receptacle of sanskar gets fdled with positive expe-
rience of the original attributes, virtues and values. With this change
in the self, the world changes as explained in Ch.4.
Let us relate these aspects to the views of psychologists regard-
ing the spiritual or psychic (metaphysical) energies of a person. Ac-
cording to one school of thought, the conscious mind (this includes
both the Rational self and Emotional Self) is capable of using only 10
percent of the total psychic energy, while 90 percent is vested with the
sub-conscious mind (sanskar). The super-conscious mind (HS) is con-
strued to be the sum total of both conscious and sub-conscious minds,
and hence having 100 percent spiritual energy of the person. Intelli-
gence Quotient (I.Q.) of a person should be the measure of the meta-
physical energy of the intellect or 'Rational self. Emotional Quotient
(EQ) should be the measure of the metaphysical energy of the 'Emo-
tional self' (mind or heart'). On the same lines, the Spiritual Quotient
(SQ) of a person should be the measure of the total metaphysical en-
ergy of a person - the soul that includes mind, intellect and sanskar.

rives around 250 BC with his 'Noble Eight Fold Path of Righteousness,
but in the absence of knowledge of God, and any link with Him, the
entropic downfall gathers further momentum. Next comes Christ with
his gospel of love. He shows through his life that we should love each
other as brothers and sisters, and uphold the commandments of 'our
Father who art in heaven'. He further spreads the 'Good News' - 'You
have to be t w i c c - born to enter the K i n g d o m of H e a v e n ' .
Shankaracharya arrived in South India by about 500 AD initiating the
path of renunciation, isolation and pcnancc (Sanyas Dharam). This sect
spread the idea of God being omnipresent. By about 600 AD Mohammed
starts reforms within Islam that has degenerated since the time of
Abraham. Through the Koran he codifies Islamic practices and tries to
unify the scattered Islamic states under the banner of one God. Several
other sects appear in different parts of the world, all souls trying to
establish a relationship with God or a being higher than themselves
The human population grows in geometric proportion because of
new souls coming on to the drama stage. These souls are born into one
religion or the other because of their karmic accounts. The original
deity souls are dispersed all over the world, but the majority still re-
main in India. Some of them have converted themselves into other re-
ligions.
have not advanced a millimetre into our inner space. The journey into
the inner spacc, the soul, is possible only when God, the Supreme Soul
descends to the theatre of action, the corporeal world in the Confluence
Atze. That auspicious Confluence Age is now on. So let us make the
best use of this one-time opportunity and transform ourselves using
Godly knowledge and practice of Rajayoga. As scientific understand-
ing of the EWD will be of great help for those who want to make such
serious effort at self- transformation, we shall now try to understand
the EWD from a scientific angle.
The Scientific Outlook on Eternal World Drama:
This creation is an eternal interplay of infinite space and cyclic
time with three point sources of energy, viz: the atom (physical energies
of nature), the souls and the Supreme Soul (metaphysical energies).
During the cycle of 5000* years the physical energy of nature (matter)
and the metaphysical energy of the souls pass through three stages of
existence: the Sato or pure stage, the Rajo or mixed stage and the Tamo
or impure stage. The cycle starts with the Golden Age when the physi-
cal energy in the form of the elements of nature, the biological energy in
the deities and other living beings, and the spiritual (metaphysical) en-
ergy of the deities were at their highest potential.
When the sentient metaphysical energy is at its highest potential,
the human soul, the sentient master, is able to command and control all
the insentient sources of energies at its will. When this spiritual energy
gets depleted as per the Law of Entropy through motion and vibrations
of thought and sound the 'master' is no longer able to command the
Xote: *
The cycle of 5000 years is also corroborated by scientific studies conducted by
the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA) of America using
magnometer . The current value of earth's magnetic moment (strength of earth s
magnetic field) is 8x1022 ampere meters squared. The data from these studies
have shown that the half-life of the earth's magnetic field is 2500 years.
Calculations based on data published so far indicate a magnetic cycle of 5000
years, at the end of which the magnetic moment changes again due to nuclear
explosions from which the core of the earth absorbs energy• to start once again
and complete another cycle of 5000 years, and thus it goes on endlessly one
cycle following another ad infinitum. Sourced from T h e Eternal World D r a m a

physical energy and metaphysical energy are subject to the Law of
Entropy, which states that with time, energy which is going from the
potential state to kinetic state diminishes until there is nothing left. At
the beginning of the cycle, all things in nature and souls have the high-
est potential, which comes down with every action. And this potential
is restored at the end of the cycle. God is the only being who can carry
out this restoration because He never loses His intrinsic energy, as He
never passes through the proccss of entropy, remaining Almighty for
ever. This period of restoration of the energy potential is called the
Conflucncc Age as this is a transitional period when the old cycle ends
w ith the Iron-Age, and the new cycle starts with the Golden-Age again.
souls get closer to God. This, in turn transforms the souls by fdling them
with spiritual power and virtues. With the human souls getting restored
to their highest potential of spiritual energy, both living and non-living
matter (physical/biological energies) constituting the physical world which
provides the setting of the drama stage, too get recharged to their high-
est potential through the collective vibrations of power, purity, joy, love,
peace, wisdom and bliss. What is the motive force behind such a tre-
mendous transformation? If a single, most powerful factor is to be iden-
tified, the power of silence seems to be that one.
The Power of Silence
The power of silence was identified, as the single most power-
ful factor that helps to achicvc world transformation through self-trans-
formation. Let us sec what Bro. B.K. Jagdish Chander says about the
power of Silence in his book Science and Spirituality'.
cally, conserves the material energy and, above all sets in a process of
bringing all things back to their pristine state of purity, power and peace
and heals the wounds inflicted by science on the earth and atmosphere."
Elaborating on the fruits of silence, Bro. Jagdish Chander contin-
ues: "The state of Silence, which comes by intense spiritual medita-
tion, gives man's mind the greatest relaxation, restfulness and refresh-
ment. Silence straightens man's thoughts, soothens his emotions and
gives him wonderful composure and enthralling calm. It restores inner
harmony and weeds out all disturbances and pains of the conscience.
Thus, it is far-far superior to all drugs and medication that is aimed at
bringing rest and relaxation to man's troubled mind, disturbed psyche
and turbulent emotions which cause even such grave diseases as can-
cer, hypertension, arthritis, rheumatic pain, heart attacks, asthma, al-
lergy, lack of resistance to onslaughts of diseases, fatigue, stress etc
The reason for this is that it prevents negative thoughts, emotional tur-
moil, trauma, mental fatigue and dissipation of useful energy by waste-
ful thoughts. Silence gives to man patience and peace so that there is
no increase in stimulation of Adrenal, Thyroid, Pituitary and Pineal
glands and, consequently, there is no hormonal disturbance or imbal-
ance and all the systems of the body work in unison and inner har-
mony... since mind in silence is undisturbed, calm and in a state of
purity it is able to comprehend Truth in its original grandeur. The mind,
being detached and withdrawn from the body and its sense organs, is
now rid of the shortcomings which hitherto affected it and thus it can
now understand the cosmos in its real nature Above all, man can
rediscover his own real identity only through silence, attained by means
of spiritual meditation... And surely man cannot have unalloyed joy,
constant happiness and spiritual bliss if he has not realised himself
through meditation and restful silence.... The state of calm and silence
puts to end all cravings for worldly things because there is no attain-
ment like it. It gives to man the treasure of divine wisdom and invalu-
able gift of heavenly peace and rare contentment and sense of
fulfilment... However, the greatest boon which silence showers on the
souls is its contact with God. It is in silcnce that the greatest mysteries
of consciousness and cosmos are revealed to man.... Silence is the key
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
which unlocks the door to sublime virtues and success and gives easy
access to God and bliss... It gives to the mind the ability to keep away
from the lure of sense objects. Above all, waves of silence move with
tremendous speed and force, toppling negative forces in the world and,
establishing, in their place, love and amity, compassion and compo-
sure, and peace and purity."

get the same work out of it. This kind of loss or wastage is called
Entropy. Thus, the Law of Entropy indicates that the total available
energy in the world is decreasing and the unavailable energy called
entropy is increasing in the form of pollution (exhausts). Hence the
world (a closed system) is moving towards a dissipated state wherein
energy moves from a higher level of concentration to a lower level; just
as heat always flows from a hot to a cold body until there is no longer
any difference in energy levels. At this state of equilibrium entropy (the
unavailable or bound energy, or pollution) in the world reaches its maxi-
mum, i.e. free energy is no longer available for work.
This universe is a closed system, which implies that it docs not
have any flow of energy from another universe; the earth is also a
closed system as it docs not exchange matter with its surroundings but
it does exchange energy. In other words the amount of energy in the
universe has been fixed since the beginning of time and will remain
fixed till the end of time. The universe has been compared to a clock
which is running down. If it is partially wound up at present, it must
have been wound up in the past in some manner.
WORLD TRANSFORMATION
THROUGH
SELF-TRANSFORMATION
Sanskar Transformation is, in effcct, a change of consciousness.
When we are soul-conscious, as is the case in the Golden Age and
Silver Age, our sanskars are positive, full of divine virtues and powers.
When wc arc body-conscious, as is the ease in the Copper Age and Iron
Age, our sanskars arc negative, full of viccs like lust, anger, arrogance,
attachment, greed, jealousy, hatred, laziness ctc. These vices arc behind
all evil actions like corruption, adulteration, hoarding, extortion, dacoity,
terrorism, rape, murder etc.
State of Consciousness
The state of consciousness can be termed as the product of the
three faculties of the soul (mind, intellect and sanskars) working together
in a precise and integrated manner. The diagram below illustrates the
same.
A thought arises in the mind from the sanskars. It is processed by
the intellect, which dccidcs whether to carry the thought into action or
not through the body. If the decision is to act, the experience of the
action is recorded in the soul as sanskar. In this way old sanskars are
modified either by strengthening or weakening according to the actions
performed. In case a thought is not carried through into action, it is
simply tossed back into the pool of sanskars. The positive latent qualities
or sanskars can be brought to the surfacc of the mind only through
intervention by the intellect.
Consciousness is the springboard for thought, decisions and
actions; the soul reacts to external circumstances according to what it
feels itself to be at that particular moment. A surgeon is able to perform
surgery when he has the consciousness of being a surgeon. That very
consciousncss gives the soul access to all information and experience
related to being a surgeon. This self identity affects the way
consciousness works. My state of consciousncss affects my mental state,
attitude and vision; these in turn affect the actions I perform and the
situations in which I find myself. Broadly speaking the consciousncss
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
contentment, love, joy and power I will try to eradicate those thoughts
ami sanslcars, which arc the seeds of disharmony and peacelessncss.
Positive and negative experiences recorded as sanskars often battle with
each other for space on the scrcen of the mind. My original state is the
highest state of my consciousness. To get back to that highest state
again I use the tools of my mind-thoughts and emotions. I perceive the
height of my goal through the intellect. I move towards the goal using
the know-how in sanskars, the tools of m i n d - t h o u g h t s and emotions;
using determination or will-power of the intellect, and by keeping doubts
at bay.
Will Power:
It is my ability to put into practice the ideals I know to be for my
well-being and to resist harmful activities. In a weak soul, intellect
plays no role in determining which thoughts arise in the mind; they
come as if driven by the sanskars (in the form of habits) or are triggered
by the atmosphere, or by the moods of others.
Wc have seen, in the foregoing paragraphs that transformation of
sanskar is in effect changing the state of consciousness which is the
product of interaction between the three faculties of the self - mind,
intellect and sanskars.
It will be useful to have a fresh look into the original state of the
self (soul) in order to be able to change the state of consciousness.

The nucleus of the biological cell holds the genetic material that
determines the individual identity of a organism. In the same way the
individual personality of a human being is determined by the sanskars,
which can be said to be the genetic coding of the soul. Just as the
metabolic activities in the ccll body are based on the genctic information
held in the nucleus, the quality of mental activities like thoughts, desires,
feelings, visions etc. are primarily based on sanskars. Just as the cell
membrane selectively permits different molecules of nutrients into the
cell body, the intellect acts as a screening and monitoring dcvicc
determining which influences from the environment should be processed
and which ignored. It also determines which thoughts, desires or vision
prompted by sanskars should be acted upon. The intellect can change
'he genetic codc of sanskars by focusing its attention on the original
attributes and causing pure, virtuous thoughts to emerge on the mental
screen. It can weaken negative sanskars by not allowing the related
thoughts to reach the level of action. When the power of discrimination

Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
to maintain this awareness, virtues will have a field day. In other words,
the chain of Awareness - Thought - decision-action-result becomes
positive. Intellect is the faculty that can ensure that this positive chain
is maintained, but the strength required to determine which thoughts
arise in the mind will be available to the intellect only when we are soul-
conscious. When we are not soul-conscious wc are naturally body-
conscious, and in this state of consciousness the chain of awareness,
thought-decision-action-rcsult becomes negative. At any moment, positive
and negative thoughts arising from experiences recorded as sanskars
vie with each other for space on the screen of the mind. Thoughts
coloured by emotions alternate between fear and determination as
propelled by the sanskars. The intellect fights to choose between the
oscillating flow of thoughts. Finally, the intellect decides to act positively,
drawing on sanskars of couragc, and victory is experienced.

Dr. Chopra first talked about the Newtonian model of reality that
dominated science for at least 300 years. It says- "You and I are physical
machines that have learned how to think". Dr. Chopra said: "This view
gave rise to the industrial age which was extremely successful... But
in the field of medicine, this materialistic view of the universe is found
to be incomplete. We find that the mechanisms of illness and origin
of illness are different. This origin has its base in how we live our
lives, and that includes not only eating, digestion, and metabolism,
hut also how we experience the world through our senses. It also
includes our inner consciousness - how we think, how we feel, how
we perceive who we are, our sense of self, our feelings, our desires,
memories and dreams. The inner world that no one else has access
to, is constantly shaping our biology. Health is the return of the
memory of wholeness, a higher state of consciousness in which you
spontaneously make choices that are nurturing, not only to your well-
being, but are nurturing the well-being of others, are nurturing to
the well-being of the eco-system, the web of intelligence of which we
are an integral part.
"The human body appears like an anatomical frozen sculpture
when you sec anything through the senses, but the human body is
actually a very dynamic field of molecules, a very dynamic field of
energy; the human body is even in a dynamic exchange of the elements
and forces of the universe.... The Greek philosopher Heroclites said
that you should think of the human body something like a river. Just
like you cannot step into the same river twice because new water is
flowing in, the real you cannot step into the same flesh and bones
twice.. .you can examine this very scientifically- Every time you breath
in, you breath in 1022 atoms from everywhere else, every time you breath
out, you breath out 1022 atoms; these atoms have their origin in every
cell of your body. So at the atomic level we are sharing our organs with
each other. The great American poet Walt Whitman said: 'Every atom
that belongs to you also belongs to me'. We can prove today, through
radioactive isotope experiments that right this moment you have in
your physical body at least a million atoms that were in the body of
Buddha or Michelangelo or Jesus Christ .. ..and so on.. In one year you
replace 98% of all the atoms in your body. At the atomic level, you
replace your stomach lining every five days; your skin oncc a month;
your skeleton every three months; even the DN A which holds the genetic
material holding memories of millions of years of evolutionary time.

the actual raw material of DNA, the carbon, the hydrogen, the nitrogen
- comes and goes every six weeks like migratory birds... my personal
body two years ago is dead and gone, but you will agree that this is the
scientific proof of life after death because, every day, I and my
consciousness are out living molecules on which I ride, I am riding
these molecules, but I am not the molecules 1 ride... this skin comes
and goes every month. They reincarnate once a month, but they don't
forget the pleasure and pain; my stomach cells change every five days,
but they don't forget how to make hydrochloric acid as they incarnate
and re-incarnate every five days.. .so it is very obvious that n'c are not
our physical bodies... When Dadiji said, 'Main aur Mera '—she meant
the same scientific fact -'you are not your physical bodies '...So don't
confuse the horse with the rider; I am riding these molecules, but I am
not the molecules I ride. The body is made up of atoms; what arc the
atoms made up of?
"Today science tells us that these atoms are made up of
subatomic particles; these particles are moving at lightning speed around
large empty spaces. These subatomic particles which we call electrons,
photons and mesons... are not material things, it's a fluctuation of energy
and information in a huge void. This information and energy is vibrating
at subatomic level at the speed of light - at 186 miles per second or 300
km per second. So if I could see through the eyes of a quantum physicist,
(hen 1 will see a huge emptiness, i.e. 99.9% ofyour body will be empty
space and 0.001% of it will be fluctuations of energy and information
that are blinking on and off at the speed of light. The whole universe is
made of this empty space; the whole material w orld is made out of
nothing. So the fundamental question of science today is what is this
nothingness from where \vc have all come 7.... Again we have to go to
the Sufi Jalaluddin Rumi because lie says that 'we have come spinning
out of nothingness scattering stars like dust'. Ifyou look at these words-
'spinning out of nothingness' this is within your power. What is a
thought? Where do the thoughts come from? Today scientists tell us,
these subatomic particles of energy and information are not energy
and information either, they are fields of possibilities, floating as
possible energy, as possible information, waiting for a conscious
observer to ask a question.
" So at the most fundamental level, the universe is neither energy,
nor information, nor space, nor time, nor matter, but a field of
possibilities, a field ofpotentialitics. Held ofpurc consciousness that is

Discontinuity
We shall now discuss the five things out of a lot that science
tells about discontinuity—as presented by Dr. Deepak Chopra:
"In the discontinuity, there is no energy, there is no space, there
is no time and there is no physical object... Then, what is that
discontinuity? The best answer that scicncc gives is:
1. It is a pure potentiality i.e. the immeasurable potential for
space, time, energy and matter, i.e.. the immeasurable potential for all
that was, all that is, and all that will ever be.
2. Non-local c o r r e l a t i o n - It's a phenomenon which was first
described in 1935 by Albert Einstein who was not friendly to the laws
of quantum physics because they violated the laws of relativity. As per
the laws of relativity nothing can move faster than light. The non-local
coordination also known as 'Einstein Prodosky Rosen Effect' or "John
Belt Theorem" says that in the discontinuity, everything is instantly
connected with everything else and this instant correlation is without
the exchange of energy or information signals. Let us say, wc have two
sub-atomic particles and they collidc, exchange energy with each other
and one goes here and one goes there, and they are millions of light-
years away. If I observe the position and momentum of one, I can
immediately tell about the position and momentum of the other one as
matter is automatically correlated without the exchange of energy or
information signals. This correlation is supposed to be instantaneous,
which means faster than the speed of light; unmitigated, which means,
distance and time do not diminish the strength or robustness of the
correlation; unmediated, which means there is no energy signal going
between the particles, yet each one knows what the other one is doing,
that's why it is called non-local correlation, everything is correlated
with everything else instantly. For example, a human body has 100
trillion cells, and every cell instantly knows how to correlate its activity
with every other ccll. How does a human body think thoughts, play a
piano, kill germs, remove toxins and make a baby all at once? While
your body is doing that, it is tracking the movement of stars and planets
because your biological rhythms which arc called circadian rhythms,
seasonal rhythms, gravitational rhythms, lunar rhythms are actually the
rhythms of the cosmos. So your body is non-locally correlated instantly,
with the symphony of the universe - ' Y A T H A PINDE TATHA

This self-esteem kindled by the Almighty Supreme Father, God
Shiva raises our limited consciousness or personal consciousness to
the unlimited or transpcrsonal realm. This self-esteem, when maintained
continually, will keep our consciousness focused on the self or soul -

HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS,
UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS
AND GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
The material presented below is largely sourced from Chapter
23, pages 235 to 246 of Dr. Bruce Goldberg's Soul Healing published
in India by Pustak Mahal.
The quantum theory of Max Planck, enunciated in 1900; the
laws of thermodynamics; the theory of light quanta by James Clerk
Maxwell and the theories of relativity by Albert Einstein brought a
revolution in physics in the 20th century and hence these arc collectively
called 'new physics'. The conceptual framework of new physics
demands its followers to step outside the self, to transcend one's
environment, and to comprehend the universe in its ineffable entirety.
The ultimate spiritual goal is to fully acknowledge and embrace the
immanent oneness of our own being with the universe. This involves
complete integration of the metaphysical and physical energies.
Human Consciousness
The dynamics of conscious thought occur on such a minute scale,
involving such infinitesimal exchanges of energy, that only a quantum
mechanical explanation could properly account for the actual
phenomenon of consciousness, proposed Niels Bohr. According to
Walker's model, the fundamental unit of consciousness is the quantum
itself. An adequate understanding of the brain demands the application
of quantum concepts. John Wheeler, the pioneering quantum physicist,
says: "The world at the bottom is a quantum world; and any system is
ineradicably a quantum system". This suggests that eventually our
concepts of how our bodies work will have to give due regard to quantum
physical events and the sub-atomic world.
in the same way you interact with your own mirror-image. To notice
yourself you must forget yourself, and to forget yourself you have to
take note of yourself in the mirror. Change is effected through self-
reflcction; by observing ourselves in others we are able to change each
other. Quantum waves are superluminal entities moving faster than light,
and can move forward and backward in time. It can be deduced that a
quantum wave is a wave of probability moving faster than light that
serves as the connecting agent between our minds and the physical
world.
Holograms
Holograms arc film records of the interference pattern that results
when light reflected from a 3-D object interacts with a laser beam. The
111m records the diffraction pattern in the same way photographic film
records light intensity and colour. When a laser beam passes through
the diffraction pattern in the film a 3-D optical image of the original
object hangs ever suspended in mid air. By looking through the flat
holographic plate one can sec the original object as if it were being
viewed through a window, but the original object may no longer be
present. Even when the plate is cut into small pieces and held up to
laser light, it will produce the image of the entire original object, just
as the whole plate has done. Thus, complete isomorphism between the
holographic image and the actual object is preserved.
Karl H. Pribram, neurosurgeon and hologram expert, discovered
th at the human brain functions holographically. Through elaborate
mathematical analysis of interference wave functions, Pribram

life reviews. Such reviews of life experience are absent in NDEs reported
among children. Dr. Goldberg cites several case studies wherein NDEs
have redirected lives, created saints, inspired religions, empowered
individuals and led to very special forms of soul healing. Howard Mickel
of Wichita State University reported a Colorado man's spontaneous
remission of leukemia following a NDE. Psychic precognitions have
also been reported by some persons following a NDE.
Multi-dimensionality
Talking about multi-dimensionality, Dr Deepak Chopra said -
"Evolution is an ongoing proccss, and everyone is on the journey
whether one knows it or not.... and in that is the experience of multi-
dimensional nature of the universe, because the universe is different in
different states of consciousness. Biology is different in different states
of consciousness; knowledge is different in different states of
c o n s c i o u s n e s s , p e r c e p t i o n is d i f f e r e n t in d i f f e r e n t states of
consciousness. Wc have not woken up to our multi-dimensionality. All
the multi-dimensional universes that we hear about in Vedanta and even
in theosophy are different projections of consciousness."
Biological Responses
In the foregoing paragraphs wc have discussed about different
states of consciousness that human beings exhibit. We shall continue
our discussions on human consciousness as presented by Dr. Deepak
Chopra - "Anything which can be seen, perceived, conceptualized is
not real, but depends on something which cannot be conceptualized,
imagined, visualized or perceived, and that something is consciousness.
It is this consciousness that conceives, that governs, that constructs,
and it becomes what wc call mind, and through the mind it becomcs...
the biological organism through material body which has perception,
cognition, feelings, emotions, moods, biological activity, social
interaction, and there is an environment too. The whole cosmos is
projected as a result of self-interacting dynamics of the non-local, non-
conccptualisable, transcendent reality that our great spiritual traditions
talk about. Then it localizes in our physiology through activity that is
both local and non-local. Local means linear interactions; non-local
means interactions in the world of simultaneity, the inter-dependent
co-arising of events. In a human being this localization is felt to be
through what wc call the seven "Chakras" in India. These are the
gateways for the non-local, eternal, transcendent, beyond space-time,
ultimate reality that localizes in our biology. Chakras are metaphors
for our consciousness which is non-local but bccomcs local. In so doing
consciousness expresses itself through biology. Biological responses
that we have in certain situations are the expressions of out-
consciousness when it localizes... There are seven biological responses
that correspond to these seven Chakras.
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
2. Reactive Response:
"If s the survival response of the ego. When ego is threatened you
react. Just like the body has fight and flight response your ego has
reactive response. It tries to control a threatening situation by
confrontation or intimidation. You are either nice, nasty, or stubborn -
these are the three control dramas. If none of them works, then you
play the victim - poor mc. So. the four types of control dramas are:
nicc, nasty, stubborn and poor me. We learn these control dramas at a
very early age, about three years of age... You become very skilful in
this response by eight years, but at 20 years this does not work, because
you are not so cute then. Now 99.99% of humanity... including out-
great leaders of the world arc in fight and flight response, or in the
reactive response".
new mind, new body, new context, new meaning - that is creativity. So
where do I go after I die?... I don't go anywhere. Every time I
localise.. ..and then delocalise. Every thought is a localised memory or
desire - they came from karma that localise and de-localise... When I
die 1 delocalise to be localized through a quantum leap of creativity.
That's the creative response that is happening every second... the
universe also creates itself through a quantum jump".
So the creative response is part of the Eternal World Drama (EWD)
wherein souls reincarnate in order to clear their karmic accounts.
6. Visionary Response:
"This response is evoked when you go beyond the personal soul
and get in touch with the archetypal souls - the souls of gods and
goddesses, a part of our collective spiritual inheritance. When you get
in touch with the Archetypal soul, the vision that comes changes the
whole of humanity. When Mahatma Gandhi touches that, humanity
changes, or when Baba touches that, humanity changes, and it goes
even beyond that. Humanity, civilisation, worlds change because that
soul is not a personal soul anymore, that soul has touchcd realms of
gods and goddesses, and gone even beyond that". This visionary
response is induccd through the Godly versions taught in Brahma
Kumaris. Here wc arc taught the phrase "Aham so, so aham" that inspires
us to visualise ourselves as the deities of Golden Age (archetypal souls)
and to become like them. .
7. Sacred Response:
"Here, you go beyond the archetypal souls and become one with
the source of all creation, and you actually begin to see that you are
creating the universe. This evolution of consciousness is orchestrated
through our biology.
As wc move up these responses through our biology, reality
shifts; as reality shifts, you start experiencing coincidences. Coincidence
means that incidents happen simultaneously in response to an intension
you had cither consciously, or unconsciously. All these coincidences
are orchestrated through intensions, which somehow enter into the field
of acausal, non-local inter-relatedness. That means, everything is related
to everything else, and everything is the cause of everything else. The
linear thinking that says - this is the cause, this is the cffect - is no
longer there. That is what we call "acausal, non-local, quantum
mechanical inter-relatedness" or "synchronicity ". It means, everything

Miracle:
"When you participate in the on-off activity of the universe through
intention, you orchestrate a miracle. The word miracle in English is
Mirari in Frcnch - means filled with wonder. You have not only glimpsed
the mind of God, you have participated in the creativity of God by
introducing your intension and orchestrating through your intention,
the harmonious interactions of the elements and forces of the cosmos
that result in the quantum leaps of the creativity that are already the
pattern of behaviour of the universe".
"The concept of the self given here is not only in accord with the
Raj yoga philosophy but also in line with Samkhya and Nyaya (Indian
Logic) schools of Indian philosophy and in consonance with some
Upanishads such as Mandukya Upanishad. The evidence from the cases
of rc-incarnation, studied, investigated and verified, also supports us.
The research on the basis of hypnotic regression also gives credence to
it.
"The concept that the self is a persistent metaphysical entity
that has a moral dimension and experiences happiness or sorrow
according to the Law of Karma and rc-incarnation, would, if followed
in practical life, help build a better society morally where human rights,
duties and principles of a healthy life also will be observed. That society
will have law and order and peace, built on good relations. It will be a
socicty based on the concept of world-brotherhood under the fatherhood-
motherhood of one benign, compassionate, kind and loving God. It
will counteract in any easy, powerful and natural manner, without
causing any bad a f t e r c f f c c t s — the negative f o r c e of hatred,
discrimination, divisionism, injustice and cruelty.
"The concept of the metaphysical self will also have the effect
of developing full human potential as it will release the mind from
negativity, anxiety, fear, hatred, jealousy, anger, depression etc. and
will fill it with enthusiasm and give it positive outlook and attitudes...
It will supplement physics, and be in accord with quantum physics so
far as understanding the collection and integration of information fed
into the brain is concerned... It will throw light on the nature of
conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious mind, and also on libido, id
and ego in a better way as compared to Sigmund Freud, would explain
the timeless nature of instincts, dealt with by McDougall and make
understandable the nature of conditioning studied and experimented
with by Pavlov and others. It has the ability to explain the collective
consciousncss and the archetypes of Jung and also many questions
related to behavioral psychology etc.
" This concept is in accord with health sciences, for by explaining
mind-body connection as taking place in the region of the hypothalamus
and the pituitary, it explains the psychosomatic cause of diseases and
lays proper emphasis on the importance of a healthy mind by giv ing a
new definition of health that takes into account the social and moral
factors.

HI MAN CONSCIOUSNESS, UNIVERSAL . 83
God Consciousness
We have seen Dr Deepak C h o p r a ' s description of G o d -
consciousness and the Sacred Response. Let us now see what Godly
versions taught in the Brahma Kumaris Spiritual University say on this
state of consciousness. In the introductory course itself you are told
that you are a soul, a child of the Supreme Soul or God, and both the
soul and Supreme Soul are alike in form and basic attributes - truth
(knowledge), peace, love, joy, purity, power and bliss. T h e only
difference between the two is that the souls are bound by the cycle of
birth and rebirth, whereas the Supreme is not. G o d is beyond the
physical Law of Entropy because he does not have a physical body
made of matter to which this law applies. Thus God is the ultimate,
unending source of metaphysical energy. God is almighty, omniscient,
omnipotent and benevolent.
God is one, creative principle, absolute truth and the Supreme
Parent (both Mother and Father) who is morally perfect, absolutely
just and a supreme benefactor.
With the right consciousness about God, and the self (soul) I can
use my most powerful tool - the thought energy of my mind - for God-
realization. If the quality of my thoughts can influence my physical
health, the atmosphere around me and my relationships, it will definitely
influence my relationship with God. Since the spiritual or metaphysical
energies attract like energies, as against the physical energies that repel
like energies and attract unlike energies, self-realization leads to God-
realization. Thus soul-consciousness is the means to achievc God-
Vlll
Vlll MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVRSE
consciousness.
The process of eliminating negativity is hastened by stepping away
from negative thinking that originates from the limited consciousness of
the body and bodily connections. When 1 sec myself as an eternal soul
and discipline my mind, 1 am able to discover the existence and nature
of God, and come closer to that one.
Form and attributes of God:
Just as the human soul is a point of sentient metaphysical energy
that radiates seven basic attributes - knowledge peace, love, joy, purity,
spiritual powers and bliss - God too is a brilliant point of divine light or
eternal sourcc of metaphysical energies. Sincc these qualities are
formless and the point of light is infinitesimal, some say that God is
formless. Anything that exists must have a form. Qualities are formless,
but their sourcc cannot be. God is not love, but the source of love, God
is not Truth, but the sourcc of true knowledge. When 1 know God as
point of light radiating the basic attributes of true knowledge, peace,
love, joy, purity, powers and bliss. I am able to bring that image on the
screen of my mind and experience these powers and qualities. In every
religion and culture, light is always associated with what is holy or
sacred. In numerous near death experiences (NDE) individuals have
related how they passed through a long tunnel at the end of which they
perceived a light that is self luminous and gives them a sense of
relationship and warmth, and is possessed of non-judgmental love and
compassion. What is unique in these reports is that their cxpcricnce of
this being of light and love is identical, independent of their religions
or social background.
In India, the most common representation of God is as an oval
shaped stone called Shiva-Linga representing the creative principle.
The names of the temples where a Shiva lingam is enshrined are
indicative of God's attributes or functions, like Somnath, the Lord of
Nectar; Vishwanath, the Lord of the Universe; Mukteswar. the Lord of
Liberation etc.. In worship Hindus bathe this form of God (Shiva-
Lingam) with milk, oil. water etc. Similar worship of God is mentioned
in Ch. 35, verse 14 of Genesis. It is said that Jacob, grandson of Abraham,
set up a pillar of stone at the place where God talked to him. He poured
an offering of a drink thereupon, and also poured oil thereon. God's
oval form of light is revered in Islam as "Sang-e-aswad" in Mecca.
Legend says that when Adam left paradise he came to a low hill where
HI MAN CONSCIOUSNESS, UNIVERSAL . 85
lie saw a shining while oval stone which he circled seven times praising
(iod. He then built the Kaaba over this, which was rebuilt by Abraham.
The black oval stone called Sang-e-aswad in Mecca, is the original
white oval stone blackened by the kisses of millions, they say. One sect
of Buddhists in Japan meditates on a small oval shape on a stand as a
giver of peace.
N a m e and A b o d e of G o d
Anything that has a form has a name too. God has many attributive
and functional names in every language in the world. The Sanskrit name
"Shiva" has three meanings - benefactor, the seed of creation and the
point source. This name implies God's form as a point, God's role as a
benefactor of all and God's function as Supreme Creator or the eternal
seed of the human family tree called Kalpa Tree.
The abode of God is a region of absolute stillness, silence and
purity. There is no thought, speech or movement there. God, the
Supreme Soul, and the souls reside there in absolute silcncc, fdlcd with
the basic attributes. God remains there perfectly stable and unchanging.
I can reach there in a split second and experience supreme peace. Just
as God is ever constant in all His attributes, His abode is also unchanging
and constant in its qualities.
God's Relationships with M e
With the awareness of the self as a soul, the child of the Supreme
Being, I am able to experience God as my Supreme Mother whose love
is totally accommodating, unconditionally accepting, empowering, and
cleansing. Just as the soul is neither masculinc, nor feminine, God is
neither masculinc nor feminine. But, in the perfect personality of the
Supreme parent, the feminine qualities of loving, giving and accepting
are perfectly balanced with the masculine qualities of power, authority
and strength. I am also able to enjoy the benefits of other relations with
the Supreme Being, like: discovery of wisdom and truth from the
Supreme Teacher, receiving directions for each step in the spiritual
path from the Supreme Guide (preceptor), conversation and support at
any moment from the Supreme Friend, sharing of intimacies and long
term support from the beloved Supreme Consort, and so on. Through
my relationship with the supreme, I am able to transform my personality
traits. Now, my actions are not motivated by just what I want, but by
what is of benefit to the self and others. It is a change from a human
being to a divine being.

Regaining self-sovereignty
God Shiva re-incarnates in the coiporcal world and empowers the
intellect, the emperor to regain the lost self-sovereignty during the
Confluence Age. Based on true knowledge about the self, about the
Supreme Father and the EWD, the intellect, exercises its control over
the mind, by allowing only positive thoughts to emerge on its screen
from the sanskaras (sub-conscious mind). The mind on its part transfer
all its relations to the imperishable Supreme Soul by severing them from
the bodied beings. By doing so, the mind gains emotional stability. With
that emotional stability it is able to experience peace and purity. When
pure thoughts, desires and visions fill the mind, the original attributes of

the soul manifest themselves as divine virtues and spiritual values, and
these come into play in all relationships in the family and the soeiety.
The self-esteem of self-Sovereign, when maintained, changes in the
self, the mind, body, relationships (family), society and environment take
place sequentially.
now becomes a prisoner of the sense organs and the vicious sanskaras.
This is how self-sovereignty is lost during the second half of the EWD.
In the Confluence Age, the short and sweet period between the Iron
Age and Golden Age, we souls co-create the new cycle of EWD along
with God, the Supreme Father.
The strongest relations I have now were established in previous
lives. The interactions together continue as long as karmic accounts
exist. When nothing more is left to give or receive our paths separate
by loss of contact, death or divorce. We then take up new relations
based on karmic accounts with other souls so that the EWD goes on
eternally.
L e t ' s now sec how the s e l f - e s t e e m "Swadarshan
Chakradhari" helps bringing about metamorphosis of a body-conscious,
vicious human being to a soul-conscious, virtuous divine being, just as
the ugly crawling caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly.
How to become Swadarshan Chakradhari
In order to become an embodiment of this self-esteem wc should
first be clear as to what it means. Let's analyse this self-esteem first.
The first part is "Swadarshan ', that means seeing the self. The second
part is "Chakradhari" which means the spinner of the wheel. These
two words when joined together mean that you have to be aware about
your own real self and its different stages through the entire cycle of
the Eternal World Drama (EWD) which goes on eternally based on the
law of cause and effect and cyclic spacc-time continuum.
Wc arc all passing through a very crucial stage in the EWD
when the old realities are giving way to new realities through a change
in our consciousness. In order to keep ourselves focused in this great
transformation, wc have to keep ourselves busy by spinning the wheel
of EWD; by this proccss wc remain "Swadarshan Chakradharis". This
means that we remain soul-conscious continually by visualizing the
self as a sentient point of light in the soul world; as a deity like Shri
Lakshmi and Shri Narayan radiating the seven energies of knowledge,
peace, love, joy, purity, power and bliss in the Golden Age; as a divine
being like Shri Sita and Shri Ram in Silver Age, as Ishtadev or Devi, the
object of worship, an idol, in the Copper Age and Iron Age, giving solace
to the devotees, and as the sons and daughters of Prajapita Brahma

information for a new metabolic rate - the metabolism of Hying creatures
has to be different from the metabolism of a worm. The Imaginal Cells
start using the dying matter of the caterpillar as a nutritive soup; it
becomes the culture medium the imaginal cells use to grow and to
connect and soon the butterfly emerges with the flight to freedom."
Dr. Chopra then urged the gathering of over 800 medical scientists
and other professionals to start imagining the new reality because through
their transformation, the world will be transformed. He emphasized the
role of BKs as the imaginal cells all over the world and said that the
next step is to conncct these cells. He further mentioned that the imaginal
cells for metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly was discovered
about 300 million years ago, which God put in the human heart, and that
is why, in the human heart there is a longing for a new reality. All the
terrorism and all the disasters are comparable to the nutritive soup of a
dying carcass of a caterpillar. Dr. Chopra urged the gathering to go to a
website on "Peace Practiccs" where seven practices arc explained.
So let's not waste our consciousness on waste, negative, and
ordinary thoughts. Let us all concentrate on creating elevated thoughts-
let us remind ourselves we are co-creators of the new world paradigm—
the world of a perfect value-based socicty that is called heaven, paradise,
jannat, behisi, swarg and so on. Let's search for other imaginal cclls
around the world and then connect with each other to hasten the process
of metamorphosis at the spiritual level. The material or biological
changes will automatically follow. We shall now discuss certain phrases
often repeated by the incorporeal Supreme Father through His corporeal
medium as these too help in hastening our metamorphosis into divine
beings.

These key words mean - ' I was originally a deity and so will 1 be

India where the smallest branch of this great institution functions under
the name - 'Gila Pathashala', where usually a couplc following the
Raj yoga (RY) way of life conduct the class. Oncc you complete the
seven day course successfully, you arc equipped with the whole set of
preliminary information required to practise RY meditation, and also
to understand the 'Murli' which is the daily discourse on Godly versions.
Rajayoga Meditation
During the 7- day course you get practical cxpcriencc of RY
meditation which is an art of creating positive thoughts sequentially
enabling you to transcend the different realms of the cosmos or
Brahmaand and reach the soul w orld using the faculties of mind and
intellect. You arc now in the presence of the Supreme Soul, your Supreme
Father, Supreme Teacher and Supreme Preccptor, experiencing basic
attributes of the Supreme Soul and the Souls - bliss, knowledge, peace,
love, joy. purity and power. All these attributes being metaphysical
energies, can be linked to the seven hues of the VIBGYOR in the same
order. This linking will facilitate, the process of visualization of each
attribute. In the practicc of RY meditation it is useful to start with physical
and mental relaxation, then contemplation about the self, then
transcending the self using the faculties of mind and intellect from the
physical (corporeal) world to the incorporeal soul world. Once you reach
that realm, you can experience the seven attributes of the Supreme
through the processes of visualization and perception, share them with
fellow souls through the processes of'reception and distribution. Chapter

C h a n g i n g the Consciousness
My state of consciousness affects my mental state, attitude, vision,
and desire. These in turn affect the actions I perform and situations in
which I find myself, and these are the cffccts (experiences) of my actions.
When there is the desire for pure cxpericncc, then the intellect sclccts
those thoughts that will bear desired results. If I desire peace,
contentment, love, joy, and power, I will try to eradicate those thoughts
and sanskars, which are the seeds of disharmony and disquiet. Will
power is my ability to put into practicc the ideas I know to be for my
well-being, and to resist harmful activities. I use this will power to get
back to my original or highest state of consciousncss.
Energy vibrations
Good or bad vibrations emanated by a person can be felt by
others. When you have strong hurtful feelings, your energy is trapped
and cannot flow freely. These blockcd feelings and negative vibrations
cause severe pains, and are extremely damaging to your physical health
\\ hen continued over a period of time. Besides your overall vibrations,
each of your bodies has its own vibratory sound. The physical body has
the lowest vibrational frequency and the soul the highest frequency.
Together, these different tones form a musical chord creating a deep,
rich tone combining the different frequencies into a balanced harmony.
Your HS always vibrates at a lovely pitch, but your other bodies may
sound discordant becausc of energy blocks in each of them. When these
blocks are cleared, and these energies combine to create a balanced
harmony, you feel joyful, expansive and loving. You feel more empathy
tor others; you see yourself and others more clearly and lovingly, if
more people vibrate at this 'gold harmony' level, the world would
become a far better place.
When you were born, you vibrated at a very high level. All
through your childhood, your family assaulted you with disapproval,
rage, manipulation, guilt, judgement, blame or neglect. These negative
energies distorted and blocked your feelings, and cloggcd your aura.
I he stronger their emotions, and the younger you were, the lesser the
ability to dispel them. Gradually, you ended up vibrating at a much

transccndcncc that can be sustained for a very short period only. Your
body cannot tolerate a vibration beyond its capacity and hence will pull
your vibration back to a bearable level almost immediately. Raising your
energy without clearing the blocks can hurt you physically and may
trigger a quick cold as your body tries to raise its vibration to compensate.
The present time field will help you by releasing a lot of those energies.
In order to keep your friends and family in your life, the vibrations
scale be set at a range of 5-6. At this range you can communicate with
most people, and it helps raise vibrations of other people around you. If
you set a higher vibration for yourself, others below that frequency
find it more difficult to interact with you, whoever falls below your
vibration cannot gravitate towards you. "It is as though you have
disappeared from their radar - you're invisible to them."

• Imagine your HS sliding down your crown plexus at the top of
your head and filling your body with its presence. Your body starts

through aches and pains. Make a mental note of these points for
clearing them using other exercises. Sit for a few moments, allowing
the HS to align itself with the physical body.
• Move to the mental body, pick up the cushion, and sit down, hug
the cushion, call the mental body back inside you so that HS can
align with it. Your mental body may make some comments,
acknowledge these by simply saying - "thank you" and continue
the cxercisc whether you believe it is effective or not.
• Now repeat this procedure with the emotional body, letting the HS
align with it.
• Go to the third scat, pick up the shawl, wrap it around your body,

blockages arc only a few.

RAJAYOGA MEDITATION FOR
SELF-REALIZATION AND
GOD-REALIZATION
Yoga literally means union or connection. In Rajayoga, the human
consciousness or soul establishes a conncction with the Supreme Soul
or God through thought energy. In order to establish the spiritual union,
I should first have the awareness that I am a soul, a point of sentient
light or spiritual energies. The seven basic attributes of the soul and the
Supreme Soul (God) - bliss (balancc), knowledge (truth), peace, love,
joy. purity and power - can be identified as seven metaphysical energies
corresponding to the seven hues of the light spectrum, VIBG YOR. The
soul is a finite source of spiritual energies and God is the infinite source
of these. The purpose of Rajayoga meditation (RY) is to regain these
basic attributes from God, the eternal power house. It is like connecting
the soul's battery to the eternal power house and getting fully charged.
We can visualize the soul as having seven cells or seven photon fields
of VIBGYOR (sec picture of Vidchi in Ch.2). God has revealed through
His corporeal medium, Prajapita Brahma, that the human soul when
embodied (Dehi) is loeated at the centre of the forehead, between the
eyebrows, and expresses itself through three faculties of mind, intellect
and latencies (Sanskara). Scientists have now found that the mind, the
thinking faculty of the soul, is located in between the three endocrine
glands - hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal body - within the brain.
The psychobiological diagram of the human being ( Ch. 2) shows that
the faculties of Dehi - mind and intellect - get integrated with the
physical body, and in that process they become the Emotional body
and Mental body, respectively. This diagram reveals the four mortal
bodies and the immortal Higher Self (Super conscious mind) w ho wc
would prefer to call Videhi, which means bodiless soul. It also shows
the seventh plexus (Chakra) located in the cthcric body, through which
the Vidchi communicates with the Dehi. A thorough understanding of
the information in Ch. 2 is essential before starting the meditation
exercise. This meditation is called Rajayoga because through this union
of the soul and the Supreme Soul the intellect becomes the sovereign
RAJAYOGA MEDITATION FOR . 109
Initiation of Meditation:
Rajayoga can be practiced sitting comfortably with your
backbone straight and eyes open. RY is a long journey of remembrance
starting from the coiporeal world and extending to the incorporeal soul
world. The human body cannot be taken beyond the corporeal world,
and therefore it is important that we learn to detach ourselves from the
consciousncss of the body. This detachment is essentially a mental
exercise which is facilitated by physical and mental relaxation. You
may adopt any relaxation technique. However, regulating your breath
by very slowly breathing in, holding the breath easily as long as you
can. and breathing out very slowly three to five times will provide
sufficient relaxation.
Contemplation:
Scientists say that the embodied soul (Dehi) is bound to 100

(Kmotional body) and intellect (Mental body). God says that you have
lo become Videhi (bodiless soul) and then remember the incorporeal
Supreme Father. Therefore, I visualize myself (Dehi) moving out of my
seat in the brain through the crown plexus and stationing myself about
eight inchcs above the head to become bodiless or Videhi. In order to
visualize my seven basic attributes I expand the point of light into a zero
and visualize the seven photon fields of VIBGYOR that represent the
basic attributes - bliss, knowledge, peace, love, joy, purity and power in
the same order. This is the perfect stage or Sampurna Swarup of the
soul that God Shiva always sees. Videhi being full in all the seven basic
attributes is equal to Supreme Father Shiva. Now I, the Videhi, move to
the soul world in my perfect stage.

This exercise can be used for unlimited subtle servicc of all the
souls as well as all the elements of nature, besides healing the physical,
mental and emotional bodies all at one go with deference to the Godly
injunction to do "Behad Seva" or unlimited service. The same technique
can be used for personal or limited purposes also. The commentary
given below is sequential to the foregoing meditation exercises.
Seated in the heart throne of Bapdada...in the Trinity form I
visualize the subtle bodies of all the souls of the Kalpa Tree in Brahma
Puri. BapDada... the Supreme Surgeon... focuses the triple photon
beams of VIBGYOR on their videhi or sampurma swarup which
directs these energies... on to the corresponding photon fields... of the
seven chakras... purifying... empowering ... and activating... the linked
element... or body.. .Patients, all over the world, whether in hospitals,
clinics or elsewhere, are especially emerged in Brahmapuri during the
healing meditation.
I visualize red photons of spiritual powers from the Videhi...
being linked to red photons of the Mooladhar Chakra (Root Plexus),
the Earth element of the physical body... and the universe getting
purified... empowered and activated... As a result... the bones...
muscles... tendons... ligaments.. .skin... teeth and all the solid structures
of the physical body start functioning optimally... the sense of smell in
the nose... the sense of survival and g r o u n d i n g arc also
regulated...Diseases like osteoporosis, sciatica etc. are relieved.
Now linking the orange photons of purity from the videhi with
orange photons of Swadhisthan Chakra (Sacral Plexus)... purifies...

Personal Experiences
I have been practising the four steps of meditation—
visualization, perception, reception and distribution— since the early
eighties when I had the good fortune of listening to respected senior
brother, Rajyogi B.K. Nirwair who not only explained about these steps,
but also gave the audience the experience of Rajyoga in a public function
at Vile Parle, Mumbai. That exhilarating experience of Rajyoga is still
fresh, and this has inspired me to get a VCD prepared on Seven Rays
Rajyoga Meditation incorporating all the four steps.
I would like to place on record the great benefits I have gained
