HOW TO WATCH YOUR CHARACTER USING THESE THREE STEPS IN 2021. ||| 200TRUT...

HARI

Sometimes people call Vishnu by that name, but actually Hari means to take away.

The mistake arose in an original translation because Vishnu was alleged to remove sins and faults by love and wisdom. 

Actually, of course, we can only remove faults and sins ourselves by adopting the right attitude to life, and towards others.

There are other meanings attached to Hari. 

HARI BOL on the other hand means 'chant the name of the Lord that ye may be purified and your sins may be washed away'.

HARI OM

This meaning of Hari is that of a sacred syllable, or actually, to be strictly correct, sacred syllables.

By repeating Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari Om when one is alone, of course, one's own personal vibrations may be increased, ones spirit may be elevated, and so one approaches more closely to one's God.

Friendly advice  if you try any of these syllables or exercises, then do it when you are alone or people will look at you suspiciously and send for the man in the white coat which ties at the back !

THE GURU... PART 2

A true Guru, according to the full meaning of the word, is as rare as a horse with feathers, because the true Guru must be more or less sinless, must be more or less without feelings of self, and must have no desire for fame. 

The poor fellow must, in fact, exist almost without being. It is permitted, of course, that the Guru has enough to live upon and enough to see that he is decently clad.

Remember, remember, remember, When the student is ready the Master will appear. The student, being untrained (otherwise he would not be a student !) is never, never, never in a position to say that he is ready to be taught. That is the surest way of saying that he is not.

THE GURU. PART 1

That wondrous, misunderstood word merely means A weighty person.

A Guru means in its commonly accepted term, One whose words are worthy of consideration. 

A Guru is a Teacher, a spiritual Teacher, and he should be an illumined soul, one who has raised the Kundalini and knows how to raise it in others.

When the student is ready the Master will appear. The student cannot and should not and must not exclaim, as so many do, Show me the Great Masters, let them come to me and I shall believe. 

The Adepts who have remarkable powers of perception, whose faculties have been sharpened and purified, are not able to teach those who just bleat feebly that they, and they alone, are worthy of Great Teachers. 

Those immature, unevolved people who demand that a Teacher accepts him or her as a pupil  well, they delay their own progress.

It is worth a comment here to show what happens : I had a letter some time ago from England, some idiot wrote in a most condescending manner stating that, Mr. So-and-So is prepared to accept Lobsang Rampa as his Teacher if Lobsang Rampa will give immediate proof that he can do all that he says. 

The attitude of Lobsang Rampa, and many others, is to toss such letters in the waste-paper basket with a sigh of regret at the folly of those who write thus.

THE TRUE ART OF GIVING

There is an old occult law which states, Give that you may receive. If you do not give you cannot receive. If you are too mean to give anything, or too selfish, then you lock a shell around yourself so you cannot receive even if a would-be giver is most anxious to give.

In the Christian belief it is stated that as you sow so shall you reap. It is also stated Cast your bread upon the waters. 

And yet again, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

It is utterly, utterly essential that if you want to receive something, then you have to give something. 

Not necessarily money, you may have to give of yourself, that is, give love, give friendship, give attention, sympathy, give help, understanding. It is useless to say, What is mine is mine, and what is yours I want too. Unless you are prepared to give you cannot possibly receive. 

So, those of you who button up your wallets or make sure that your purse-strings are drawn up tight, remember that if you are going on your knees to start praying it is a waste of your time as well of everyone else's, it is useless to pray for things unless you are willing to give things.

THE FOUR FRUITS

According to various Eastern beliefs, the Four Fruits of human life are that each Fruit shall develop and ripen and come to full growth.

The First Fruit is that of morality and purity of thought. This makes one a decent person who is able to progress on the Spiritual Path.

Secondly, there is security of position, so that the Temple of the Soul, which, naturally, is the body, is not damaged by excessive poverty or suffering.

It should be stated that in some conditions one has to have poverty and suffering because of Karma, but as a general rule it is better that one is able to attain to the Middle Way  not too rich, not too poor, not starving, but not overfed.

The Third Fruit is that by which one has one's legitimate desires fulfilled. It comes as a reward for right living, right thinking, right behaving.

A legitimate desire does not include the desire of having a new car or a new coat, or things which are for vanity or to show off to other people.

A legitimate desire is a desire to help others and to save others from unnecessary distress. It is also legitimate to desire to progress and advance, again unselfishly, again so that one may help others.

The Fourth, and best, of the Fruits is that one shall speedily attain to release from the ties of this world. It means liberation from Karma, the end of one's incarnations and reincarnations upon the Earth system. 

When one has the last of the Four Fruits, when one has escaped from the toils of the Earth, then one can, if one is foolish, volunteer to come back to this dreary old spot to help others. 

When you attain to that position, and you are on the Other Side, leave instructions that if you ever decide to volunteer your friends will have your sanity tested, because it does appear that nowadays things are rather out of hand on the Earth, and things are much too hard. 

However, we are in the Age of Kali, and that gloomy Age will pass away and the sun will shine again with the dawn of a new era, and with an upsurge of spiritual purity.

ANNAMAYAKOSHA

That big word just means the physical sheath or body which encases the spirit. 

When one is coming back into the physical body after being consciously in the astral one does not even use such a word as that to express ones feelings of the cold and clammy mess into which one must painfully clamber, one uses a much worse word. 

But Annamayakosha is the technical word.

ETHERIC DOUBLE

This is the substance existing between the physical body and the aura. The etheric is of a bluish-grey colour, and is not substantial like flesh and bone. The etheric can pass through a brick wall, leaving both intact.

The etheric double is the absolute counterpart of the human flesh and blood body, but in etheric form. The stronger a person's physical, the stronger will be the etheric. 

When a person dies, and that person has had a certain gross interest in life, his etheric double is physically very strong and he leaves a ghost which, through habit, acts in precisely the same way as the person did while in the physical body.

A person who has been killed by violence or in a state of terror will have a very strong etheric indeed. People who have died by violence will often leave a ghost which can be seen.

Frequently disembodied etheric doubles try to dissipate their useless energy by going to seances and giving senseless messages. It is clear that if Uncle Timothy has died and Aunt Matilda wants to get in touch with him, she will go to a seance and, because of personal magnetism, she will attract the stupid etheric double of Uncle Timothy. 

This etheric double has no knowledge but only habits, and so it will react in much the same way as Uncle Timothy did on the Earth and will just give senseless information because it has no brain to direct it.

The etheric double is a useless thing which has to be dissipated before one is completely free of the bonds of Earth. It is the stuff of which senseless ghosts are made.

A person who is said to be earthbound is linked to Earth by this strong etheric double.

AVESHA

This interesting condition means entering another's body. At times an Avatar will need to take possession of another's body in order to do some special work, but such possession is only accomplished when the original occupant of the body agrees. 

After some seven years, never more, the Avatar has changed everything in the body, every cell, every molecule, and so the body becomes truly his.

Two points of interest  some people say, Well, how can a molecule change places ? The answer is, of course, that even in the humble process of electro-plating, molecules are sent from one electrode to the other electrode of a plating vat. Thus, even a base metal can have pure gold deposited upon it.

The second point  often an Avatar will take over a body which is already adult. That is because the Avatar must not waste the time of being born and growing up through the painful stages of childhood.

ABSTINENCES

We have to abstain, or refrain from doing, certain things if we are to progress on the road to spirituality. We must refrain or abstain from injuring others ; we must refrain from telling lies. 

Theft  we must avoid theft because it is altering the material balance of another person if we steal from them. 

Sensuality ? That is an impure form of sex, and while pure sex can elevate one, sensuality can ruin one spiritually as well as financially !

Greed is a thing of which we should not be guilty. Mankind is lent money or abilities in order that we may help others. If we are greedy and refuse to help in case of genuine need, then we may be sure that help will be refused us in time of need.

If one can honour the Five Abstinences; abstention from injuring others, abstention from lies, abstention from theft, abstention from sensuality, and abstention from greed, then one can be at peace with the world, although it does not follow that the world can be at peace with one.

ABHINIVESHA

 This indicates possessiveness restricted to a love of life on Earth. It is an attachment to the things of life and a fear of death because of the loss of possessions which that will bring. Misers love their money, and they fear death because death will part them from their money. To those who suffer from this particular complaint I will say that no one has yet succeeded in taking even a penny into the next life !
