Passages From The Holy Science

• “The position of the world in the Dwapara Sandhi era at present (AD 1894) is not correctly shown in the Hindu Almanacs. The astronomers and astrologers who calculate the almanacs have been guided by wrong annotations of certain Sanskrit scholars (such as Kulluka Bhatta) of the dark age of Kali Yuga, and now maintain that the length of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years, of which 4994 have (in AD 1894) died, leaving 427,006 years still remaining. A dark prospect! And fortunately one not true.”

• “The Eternal Father God Swami Parambrahma is the only Real Substance, Sat, and is all in all in the universe.”

• “Man possesses eternal faith and believes intuitively in the existence of a substance, of which the objects of sense – sound, touch, sight, taste, and smell, the component parts of this visible world – are but properties….The Eternal Father God, the only substance in the universe is, therefore, not comprehensible by man of this material world, unless he becomes divine by lifting his self above this creation of Darkness Maya.”

• “In this way when man understands by his Parokshajnyan the nothingness of the external world, he appreciates the position of John, the Divine personage who witnessed Light and bore testimony of Christ after his heart’s love, the heavenly gift of Nature, had become developed. Any advanced sincere seeker may be fortunate in having the Godlike company of some one of such personages who may kindly stand to him as his Spiritual Preceptor, Sat Guru, the Saviour. Following affectionately the holy precepts of these divine personages, man becomes able to direct all his organs inward to their common center – Sensorium Trikuti or Sushumnadwar, the door of the interior – where he comprehends the voice, like a peculiar knocking sound the Word Amen, Aum, and the God-sent luminous body of Radha, called John in the Bible.”

• “When all the developments of Ignorance are withdrawn, the Heart being perfectly clear and purified no longer merely reflects the Spiritual Light but receives or manifests the same, and thus being consecrated and anointed becomes the Sannyasi or Christ the Saviour.”

• “Through this Saviour, the Son of man becomes again baptized or absorbed in the stream of Spiritual Light and coming above the creation of Darkness Maya, enters into the spiritual world and becomes unified with Abhas Chaitanya or Purush, the Son of God, as was the case with Jesus of Nazareth. This is the state when man is saved for ever and ever from the bondage of Darkness Maya.”

• “Man naturally feels great necessity for Sat Existence, Chit Consciousness, and Ananda Bliss. These three are the real necessities of the human heart and have nothing to do with anything outside his self. They are essential properties of his own nature, as explained in the previous chapter.”

• “It has been shown in the forgoing passages how love may be cultivated, how by its culture it attains development, and when developed how, through this means only, man may find his spiritual preceptor, through whose favour he again becomes baptized in the holy stream, and sacrifice his self before the altar of God, becoming unified with the Eternal Father forever and ever.”
