DownFall of the Soul
and Hot it Can Return Home
Our soul is in Essence,
a drop from the Great Ocean of Sat Nam – The True Eternal, Inconceivable Lord
without beginning and without end, the creator of all. He is the source of all
Bliss, Energy and life.
After
departing from the source, SAT NAM, the soul of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE descended first into
the domain of the mind. Then they were confined in the prison house of the
world through the bondage of their desires. They lost awareness of their SIRE, SAT NAME,
and forgot their DIVINE ORIGIN.
The
soul was then submerged in duality which resulted in its encasement in a think,
hard shell shell of egotisim. So its lights become clouded by mental
aberrations and desires. Treading the path of mind, it strayed further and
further away from the path of NAM till at last, all its light and glory got
toatally masked. It even forgot that it was “soul” immortal and everlasting and began to identify itself with
its various covering with which it had enveloped itself during its descent.
It began to call itself “Body”. First, it took on
the causal body, after descending to the causal region when it come down to the
Astral Region. Which is the world of
potent illusion. It was covered with the astral body. And when it dropped down
to the phenomenal world, it was covered with the astral body and when it
dropped down to the Phenomenal World, it
was covered with the Physical doby, additiona
to all the previous coverings. The lower
the soul sank the dimmer grew its light.
Consequently,
whatever we do in this world our action are like those of a blind man groping
in the dark. The darkness and ignorance result in confused thinking which in
its turn, bring sorrow and suffering. The mind is weak and earning, and is the
victim knot with the mind, it has also to under go the suffering of the latter.
You
will find that in all the bodies and in all the species the soul has indeed a
hard lot to face Misery and pain sorround it whatever it goes. To what a sad
plight the association w/ the mind and senses has brought it!
The
above aptly illustrates the position of the soul. It runs after the pleasures
of the sense and has become a slave to lust, anger, greed, attachment and
pride. The mind and the soul have become so tightly knottled together that the
soul has to suffer the consequences of the mind’s actions. It keeps moving from
one specie to another, each one worse than the former the only exit from this
prison was the human form, of which it did not avail itself. the porpose of the
SUPREME BEING in bleesing the soul
with the most valuable gift of a human body was to afford it an opportunity of
release from this vast prison house by devotion
to God.
Nature
is not extravagant. If the soul does not make proper use of its vehicle, it is
consigned to the place where it can satisfy its desies and craving. The result
is that the soul descent lower and lower till ultimately it sinks to the lowest
hell. Man stand at the higest rung of the evolutionary ladder. By carrying out
the instruction of a perfect Master, he can gain the rooftop his real Home in SAT LOK. He follow, however, the dictates of mind and
senses, and suffers the consequenses thereof by falling down in the scale of
evolution. It may take him countless ages to be born again in the human form.
This
continuous chain of action and reaction would never have come to an end, had
not the SUPREME LORD taken great
pity on us in our extreme distress and misfortune. Seeing the soul, his beloved
child, in such a sad plight, that ocean of mercy and compassion surged in
swelling tided and assuming the human form, come to the world to save us.
Further he says:
”Sit silently in quiet corner and listen to the five notes
that constantly arise from withine thee”.
“Oh, hust thee and listen thou to the five Melodies coming
from heaven”.
God has to assume the
human form for our sake becoause only human being can teach a human being. Gods
and angel we cannot see, animal and beasts are without understanding or the
faculty of speech. When the Great Lord wishes to impart Gyan (knowlege about Himself) to us, He always comes in any other
form, we would not have understood His languages.
All the Saints have
expressed similar sentiments.
Maulana Rum Says:
“This world is a prison and we are all prisoner in it.
Break through the roof of thy cell and released thy self”
Our soul is “Maha Chetan” (Superconsious
Energy) a drop from the ocean of Spirituality, life and energy. It is pure Spirit. Yet in its association with mind and matter it has gathered all the
dross, which is the cause of recurring woe
and misery.
The soul is in search
of peace and happiness it tries to find it sometimes in one thing and sometimes
in another. But where can it find peace in this phenomenal world, where none is
happy? Everyone has his own tale of woe to narrate.
Having reach the top of
evolutionary ladder, you should now contact Nam and tread the Spiritual Path to your divine home. If
you fail to do so and slide down, you will
have to sojourn in this world of changes and go the various form of creation.
Swami
Ji Says:
“This valuable body you
got
After roaming in
millions of lower lives
Now do not lose it in
vain pursuits
Take heed! Give your
attention to Devotion
Have Pity on your poor
soul and
Save it from
transmigration’s wheel
These pleasures and
comforts are fo four days
After That a long
period of sorrow awaits
Beware! Save yourself
from hellfire; Do not make souls its fuel.”
