49. Infinite Atmas in Paramatma

-
From A to F are all Atmas in Paramatma.
A is the Atma that is not conscious of Sharira, Prana and Mana,
nor of itself (ATMA), and has not the experience of Gross, Subtle
and Mental worlds, nor of Paramatma.
B is the Atma that is conscious of Sharira, but not conscious of
Prana and Mana, nor of Atma. Has experience of the Gross world,
but has no experience of Subtle and Mental worlds, nor of
Paramatma.
C is the Atma that is conscious of Prana, but not conscious of
Sharira and Mana, nor of Atma. Has experience of the Subtle
world, but has no experience of Gross and Mental worlds, nor of
Paramatma.
D is the Atma that is conscious of Mana, but not conscious of
Sharira and Prana, nor of Atma. Has experience of the Mental
world, but has no experience of Gross and Subtle worlds, nor of
Paramatma.
E is the Atma that is not conscious either of Sharira, Prana, or
Mana, but is conscious of Atma. Does not experience Gross,
Subtle and Mental worlds, but experiences Paramatma.
F is the Atma that is conscious of Sharira, Prana and Mana, and
also conscious of Atma. Experiences Gross, Subtle and Mental
worlds, and also Paramatma.
A, B, C, D are in Paramatma, but are not conscious of Atma
(SELF), and have not the experience of Paramatma.
E and F are likewise in Paramatma, but are not conscious of Atma
and experience Paramatma.
The E state of Atma is the Goal of Atmas.
So the sum and substance is: A (unconscious of Sharira, Prana
and Mana), in order to attain the state of E (also unconscious of
Sharira, Prana and Mana) has necessarily to pass through the
states of B, C and D (conscious of Sharira, Prana and Mana).

All Atmas are in Paramatma. Paramatma is Infinite. In the Infinite Paramatma are infinite Atmas. Therefore:
A is eternally infinite.
B is innumerable and comprises the gross manifestation, from a
speck of dust to human beings, inclusive.
C comprises a limited number of subtle-conscious Atmas.
D comprises a few - the mental-conscious Atmas.
E comprises fewer still - the God-realized Atmas.
F comprises the Five Qutubs, and Jeevanmuktas and
Paramhansas.

5.Love of Woman and God

-
5.Love of Woman and God A man loves a woman who is living in a distant place. His love causes him to be thinking of her all the time; and he cannot eat and he cannot sleep. His thoughts are only on his separation  from her and he continually longs for her. When this longing  becomes too great, he either goes to her or he compels her to   come to him. This is called  physical love. To love God one should think of God, long for God and suffer  the fire of separation until one's longing reaches its utmost  limits, and God the Beloved comes to the lover and his thirst is  quenched in union with God. This love is called Ishk-e-Haqqiqi, and is a gift from God. But one who obeys the Master who is One with God, need not  suffer these things, for in obedience is the Grace of the Master.

28. The Divine Response

-
The moment you try to understand God rather than love Him you begin to misunderstand Him, and your ignorance feeds your ego. Mind cannot reach that which is beyond it. God is infinite and beyond the reach of Mind. The Divine Will that brought forth this infinite Illusion expresses itself in all its purity through me to make you turn away from Illusion towards God-consciousness. Every moment I respond to the whole of creation. My response, being divine, is wholly from love. The many faces of that one response as you see them, are but the reflections of your manymirrored mind. You view and judge my actions from your level of understanding and attempt to differentiate them in the light of your own limited standards of values. And so you misinterpret the different shades of my response to different people. Being unlimited I am simultaneously on all levels of consciousness; and, as such, in my response I differentiate one from the other solely in the light of their impressions (sanskaras), ...

13. Do Not Seek and You Will Find

-
13. Do Not Seek and You Will Find 'Seek and you shall find' has become such a commonplace that spiritual aspirants have begun to wonder what it means. To them I say, Do not seek and you will find. Do not seek material pleasure and you will find the spiritual treasure.This means, seek only God by not seeking material pleasures, and you will find God. You can only seek God through self-denial. The spiritual treasure cannot be obtained by merely stretching out your hand for it. Only in the completeness of self-denial can the spiritual treasure become self-evident. There are three ways of obtaining the spiritual treasure: To earn it yourself by self-denial; To receive it as a spontaneous gift from God given to His lover whose self has become effaced in the intensity of his longing for his Beloved; To inherit it directly from the Perfect Master who bequeaths it to those who remain completely resigned to His will. Therefore if you wish ...
