18th Dialogue
REPENTANCE: CAUSES OF ERRORS AND FOLLIES: SALVATION
If I have a Divine origin, I can not comprehend how I can be so weak, fallible, and bound to the instincts ? I have carried passion, desire, liking, disliking, fear, anxieties, despairs, hopes; I have felt enchanted by worldly success and depressed by failures. I have experienced despair while standing beside the stream of life and gazing at it without being able to stir and affect its motion. At the same I have been afraid to plunge in the currents and eddies drawing life to its end. I have felt like a weak person, without any strength of the will and power to change the course, that moves against the way I have wished things to move. If I have descended from Heaven, tell me why have I lived such an existence? How shall I understand my role as the weak, fallible man who is driven by doubts, dilemmas and treacherous forces of thoughts that surge and disrupt the will to work and act to serve the Will of God?
God: Assume yourself as a man of the world, who carries the motions of the matter-spirit bound life enacted by the will that defines the life. But when you enter the domain, that is not governed by man, you are Me. Your daily life has not been any different from what a human life is, but your life is different from all in the domain where you are a part of God. Your life is an expression of what life represents as a moving will enacting the forces of life and death. God has willed your existence as a man because by being born as a man you will move the world towards God. God has willed your existence as a common human being because your will is not what a common human being will ever know without you yourself revealing God as a man. Enter the world and move as a man of desire, fear, anxiety, hate and love as the motion of the will that decides the life of man. Enter the world as motion of the matter-spirit-bound world and work for the Will that is beyond. God has willed the Work of God-Man as the motion of the will of man enacted by the Will of God, who has entered in the world in order to explain to man the working of God for man. Enter the worldly arena as a human being with desire and passion tied to the matter-bound cycles of life and death and make Me unveiled. God is working to make you work and let the world move towards Him. God has willed so, and therefore you can not will to make the world as will that permeates man’s mind. What you will as a man is not what God has willed for man. Therefore remain attracted towards all that move and work to fulfil the meaning for which you are unveiled as God-Man. Enter the matter-spirit world and move, as you are moving, without repenting over your actions and let motivations of your actions be directed to the Will that is Divine. Both as a man and God you are working as will of man and not-working as the Will that is beyond. You are willing and not-willing. Your will is the formless movement of the world’s Saviour. Know your weaknesses and fallibility as the motion of the world and moving in the world make your life a movement of God-Man, who has entered the arena of life to work for the enlightenment of the world that moves in the matter-spirit-bound path. Enter the realm of man in order to move in the world of Man-God, who is “working” without working through the will of man. Your willing to be more than Man and decide over the human lot, as if you are the supreme power deciding over the man, is not what God is. Both as God-Man and Me you are world’s meaning and salvation. Both as the world and the will you are form and void – the world and what lies beyond.
If the Divine will is enacted through me and my will as a man is overridden by the will that works to make me move as Man-God, how shall I act in the world as a man? When the motive forces of the human will is operative in the blood and flesh, how shall I overcome the attractions of the will bound to the matter-spirit-world and act as a man, whose movements are willed by God? Tell me what am I that other human beings are not. Tell me what makes my existence the part of God while others are not God. Tell me amidst follies and errors of life how can I be beyond follies and errors of life? While my willing as a man is not what I am as God, tell me how am I existent with human will and how shall I know I am Man-God?
God: You are world’s meaning and so make yourself the source of meaning that the world will understand. By being born and living in follies and errors of life you are moving in the world as Man-God, who has entered the world to make the errors and follies of life revealed as the acts of the human will and not as the Will of God. Both as Man and God your will and not-will are erroneous and not-erroneous. Both as will and not-will your world is folly and without folly. Both as will and not-will you are moving and not-moving. Son! meaning of the world is what you are as God-Man, and not what you will as a man, who is willing to find meaning in the world as the matter-spirit-bound motion, that makes things appear in form. Know yourself as the moving error and folly that are above all errors and follies of the world and make yourself above the matter-spirit-bound world’s movement creating erroneous impressions of the world that is immersed in the void. When you cross the boundary of the matter-spirit-world, there is no such concept of error and folly because what is God is God. Reality as you know, and that defines the concepts of errors and right and wrong, lies in the matter-spirit arena where man can not know what is outside and how to move in the domain that is beyond. God has willed your existence in order to make man move in the domain of God. Both as Man and God your world is the world of matter-spirit and the domain that is not existing in the sense of existence that man conceive. Man-God! you are the meaning of the world and make your manifestation in the world the meaning of the will that moves the world in the realm of Man-God. Know that you are all and none. Know yourself as all – when you are manifest as the will of man , and none – when you are moving as the matter-sprit-bound world’s Saviour and My Son. Son! sorrow, desire, worldly ambitions are all created by the will that is willing to abandon the world of form. Therefore work to make man’s will move beyond the world of sorrow, desire and ambitions driven by power, greed and lust.
If the renunciation of the will to dominate, consume and live at the expense of others should be the enlightened way , why then the human will is empowered with the force that wills-to-power and wills-to- consume the world with passion and lust? What causes this error? Why must man live life that leads to such treacherous paths? Why have I been unable to control the forces of the will that drags man to the instinctual path ? When things are as they are why shall man aspire to move beyond what is given as the reality ? Why shall man seek God? Why have you thrown the will to live and struggle in the world in such calamitous path? How does it matter for human beings, if they know God’s mystery or not? What is the meaning of salvation when life must exist in the matter-bound state and move forever in the wheel of life and death? By knowing about the world that is beyond, what shall man know? If one abandons the enlightened path in which way will he or she suffer more than what all life will suffer as a result of birth ?
God: God-Man! Reality is a path that is directed by the will that keeps the matter-spirit world bound. As an worldly man every human existence is bound to experience this drag of the will controlling the reality of the world. Both as man and part of God human existence must refer to Man-God and man must know that the reality is only one aspect of the existence to which all life belong. Both as Man and God the existence of Man-God is all and none. In all He is existent as Man-God , though He is none. As world’s Saviour tell man about your nature and the way the life is sustained and destroyed. By gaining this knowledge man will know the movement of God as Man in the world who is existent in form. By the process of searching beyond, man can know the reality that is deeper than the matter-spirit world and realize the meaning of life in the Saviour, who has incarnated to make man free. World was, is and will be and the matter-spirit world will create and destroy what will is meant to create and destroy. Bondage to this reality is the matter-bound soul’s destiny that no life will be able to bypass. However, when the life moves by the force of the will- governing the instincts- alone, it decays and life’s bondage to the matter-bound state increases. Boundary of the matter-spirit world defines the boundary beyond which life has another dimension. Once the human mind is enlightened about this path that leads to the domain beyond, the human life can realize the higher-domain of existence in the realm of Man-God. The reality will appear different once man will be able to see the domain that exists beyond. Knowing one’s relation with Man-God, human life will be willing to explore the movement of Man-God within themselves as the movement of God. By knowing about the domain that is beyond they will know the matter-spirit-bound world’s boundary and the realm of God, where the matter-bound life can not enter and where God is the force of Love. In suffering and error they will be able to see the hands of God as the matter-bound world’s Saviour, who is attracting all towards Him. The instinctual desire may be eliminated once man knows the way of Man-God. The instincts are moving in the world in order to bind the man in the world of form. God-Man is creating the force to make man move outside this realm of form. The boundary of one is coupled to the boundary of the other in the matter-spirit state working together to create the world as the soul and the body. Boundary of the soul is formless while the body has form. Realizing the movement of the formless in form one can free oneself from the destiny-bound world where the will moves. Thus one cane see the realm of God revealed through Man-God. By creating the world the will is set free and the matter is bound in laws. Both are united in the realm of matter-spirit that creates and destroys the world through the movements of the will and form. The role of God is not to move with the world as manifest in the will and form. God-Man is the moving force that establishes the link between the matter-spirit world and the domain of God. Though bound, man can know his relation to God through God-Man and become free from the matter-spirit-world by moving along with Him. Thus there exists the path of salvation and knowing God man may know himself as a part of the World’s Saviour who is moving and working as God incarnate. How does this knowledge help ? You may ask. Know that the world is and is-not. What you see and wish to know about is and is-not. God has willed so and to see God’s mystery unveiled you should know the enlightened path. Know your sorrow, desire, love, hate , despair etc. as the illusion of the matter-spirit-world where will is manifest. Once man knows the enlightened way such follies of the mind will disappear and man will see God’s Love drawing man to the Divine path. By abandoning the enlightened way man will follow the bondage and the movements of the forces that draw existence from the formless to the matter-bound state, that creates the sufferings and illusions of the world. How does it matter, if man suffers or not ? You may wonder. How do you know what is not-suffering and how shall man decide if suffering is to be abandoned for not-suffering? Know that suffering is a state of the will that draws and destroys while not suffering is a state that creates no motion or thought. The suffering is a power to make the world and attract it towards the state of not-suffering. Both suffering and not-suffering must exist so that the world may be revealed as the Work of God. Holding to suffering’s path without seeking salvation’s way will lead to destruction and chaos. Suffering works to end in not-suffering and therefore freedom of the soul can not escape the attraction of the Love of God. Know this working mechanism of the Divine Love and make man move along the enlightened path.
