Divine Treasure Life, Living and Livelihood

Man is so inextricably embroiled in the daily problem of Livelihood that he is rarely congnisant of the unseen process of Living of which he is a part, and of Life itself he is completely oblivious. He is like a piece of soft iron, secure in its feeling of isolated individuality, unaware Of the universal magnetic field in which it lies and unconscious of its own latent magnetism by waking which it be comes identified with the cosmic magnetic force. This mortal coil which we call individual Life is only an assumption of our ignorance and not the Reality. What we call the struggle for life is only toil of the unseeing man to sustain the body in which Life manifests iLself; Of Life internal which is absolute and unmanil’ast and of Living which is the form in which it makes its appearance in the world of Time and Space, we are in the dark, involved as we are in the coils of the physical frame, which is but a vivified protoplasm like the magnetized piece of soft iron.

Livelihood is the problem of the body not of the Being that is within the body. Living is the field of the being and through Living it feels or releases its ‘Sva-Roop’ or Real nature which is beyond frame, form and feel, beyond space, time and existence, Infinite, Conscious, Blisstill. Living and Livelihood spring from Life Eternal and to it they must return, like the individual and universal magnetic fields coming to rest in the cosmic magnetism. Individuated life us a separate entity is an illusion produced by our gross physical senses and in reality there is no coming into existence or ceasing to exist of any individual being just us there is no birth or dearth a separate magnetism when a sort iron is magnetised or demagnetized. Life is eternal, all pervading and limeus•s.

Man. engaged in the daily chorc%s which from his bondage to the body and sense-organs. walks the path of Livelihood. which i horizontal. He crawls on the earth. which is symbolized in his physical body. hul cannot rise above its gravitation. The ascent 10 Lite is vertically upwards. hut the gravitation or the earthly body is vertically downwards. Pulled between these two forces, Man experience ‘Dwandva’ or the Divine Treasure conflict within himself, which he variously describes as the opposition of Good and Evil, antagonism between brute instinct and conscience, war of animal tendencies with evolution towards a superior mind. The horizontal will not become the vertical, but from the horizontal man can rise by the might and main of his soul-force Or ‘atmabal’ and grtusp and thread ofLiving which trails above him. This process of Living has an ascending movement and through it man can free himself from the degrading pull or Livelihood.

Living is the path to Life. Living is humanism. Living is Love. Living is the dtnsLruction of the circumscribing selfishness of individuality. It pulls him up, ever and always. just as the moon in the sky draws the waves of the ocean towards it. Living is reflection of life just as the luminosity of moon is the reflection of the radiant effulgence of the Sun. Space is the clearance between the horizontal plane of Livelihood and the ascending stage of Living; Time is the succession and repetition of blind efforts of human beings for extrication from the web of the gravitation ofLivelihood. Only he is free who climbs’ above the field of this gravitation and rises above space and time. The real conquest of space and time is the closing or the gap between Livelihood and Life and the cessation or the gravitation of the senses.

Physical instincts are the ropes and bonds by which man is securely bound to the ground plane of Livelihood. The cravings of instincts keepa man tied to this plane. Instincts are the chains of his bondage. Gratification ol’ the senses, which he calls happiness. is the regular tribute which he has to pay to the physical frame. which is the enslaver. Instincts are fed by the sense organs and they in turn feed the sense-organs. By indulgence and gratification of the senses, man strengthens the ropes which bind him. The living processes is the edge life, which will wear out the strands of these ropes. It induces in man the consciousness of his inherent superiority over the bonds and 

awakes in him the consciousness of his real state of eternal freedom. When this consciousness is aroused, man starts what he calls the search for Truth or Self-quest. This is his •atma shodhan’, which proceeds along the steps of self-observation Divine Treasure

discrimination and self-cleansing. This the experience of fluctuation between individuality and universality, between limited self and brotherhood of man, between selfishness and altruism. The induction Of the Living process tends to raise him up, but the pull Of Livelihood seeks to hold him down. To rise superior to the downward pull he needs Soul-force or ‘atmabal’. He must have physical vitality and spiritual power.

The turning point in this Oscillating mode of existence is reached when the Master enters upon this scene and takes him out of the revolving whirlpool. The point of the Master’s appearance materialises in time and space when the consciousness induced by the Liying process becomes fully active and longing for freedom becomes acute. The master is the personification of the power of the Life Supreme, which manifests itself and enters the life of the individual to halt the giddy revolutions of the horizontal whirlpool or Livelihood and to add a rocket-slide impetus to the tidal wave caused in the individual by the inductive force of the Living process.

He who CLSts his selfishness out will tind his heart filled wiLh love, and on the buoyancy of love he will float on the ocean of existence without drowning. Life is the Sun that shines eternally on this sea and gives rise to Livelihood and Living In water and on water. Dead matter lies at the bottom of the sea and those who cling to it never come to the surface and see the Sun. The drops of water which relinquish the dead matter, are borne upwards to the surface by the currents of the sea. When these drops are touched by the rays of the Sun of self-knowledge, they lose their gravitational weight of gross instincts and are drawn by the Sun unto its warm heart. The transcendence Of man is from Livelihood to Life through Living.

Divine Treasure Cosmic Consciousness

Our universities do not teach you anything about universality. Therefore the minds of students are always full of doubts. Men generally are full or doubts. There is a cosmic fog which presents you from seeing the truth. It requilus a cosmlc mind to see beyond the cosmic fog. Kill desire. Desire is the root cause of all ignorance. [t is like a beautiful, many colored web spun by a spider. The foolish flies are attracted by the web. Once they enter it, they do not return back. They are completely engulfed and eaten away. Many learned men know this. Yet we find that they are caught in the web and are destroyed. Why should this be the case ? The reason is simple to explain. They limit their egoes. They think that they are but a small plant of universe. They think that they are bounded within and without. A true man is bounded within but he is boundless without. The man who realises that he is boundless and hence universal has reached his goal. The cosmic ego is infinite. He is in the cosmos and the Cosmos is within him. The outer boundary of body is a material encasement. Man thinks that he is a product of time and space. He does not realize that time and space are his products. Hence the cosmic fog blinds his eyes limits his vision and action. We get ourselves bound, and limit ourselves to a very tiny and insignificant time and place. The huge vistas are not open to us. With a shortsighted vision of space we judge or try to judge the infinite. Do not forget your cosmic self. Then alone you will come üace to [ace with cosmic consciousness.
