SUTRA
15
There is Only One
Real God, The Divine Person – Who Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Being Itself – Is Bodily Present As The Total Cosmos.
The Cosmos Is Not The “Creation” Of Real God, or A Caused Effect Of Real God, or An Event Separate From Real God. Rather, The Cosmos Is The Spontaneously Manifested and Perfectly Advaitic Cosmic Bodily Form Of Real God.
The Total Cosmic Bodily Form Of Real God Is Always Already and Entirely Pervaded and Transcended By The Divine Spirit Presence That Is Real God.
Likewise, Both The Cosmic Bodily Form Of Real God and The Divine Spirit-Presence Of Real God Are Always Already and Entirely Established in The Very State, Heart, Self-Condition, or Source-Condition That Is Real God.
“The Divine appears to, have divided Itself, becoming Consciousness on the one hand, and Dynamic Manifestation on the other. But, in Truth, the Divine is One, and this Self-Division in God is only an illusion, created by the presumption on the part of the entities that they are independently existing in a World of experience, separated from the Eternal Position of Transcendental Unity, or Bliss.”
Locate The One
Therefore, To “Locate” and Realize Real God, It Is Necessary To Contemplate The Total Cosmic Bodily Form, The Total Spirit-Presence, and The Ultimate State That Is Real God. And That Contemplation Must Progressively Become A Feeling-Sacrifice Of the conditional self, To The Degree Of Heart-Communion and Heart-Identification With The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant “Bright” Self-Condition and Source Condition That Is Reality, Truth, or Real God – The Divine Person.
to Heart Communion & Heart Identification with Reality
(Self-Existing-Radiant-Bright-Presence-State-Condition-Source-Reality-Real-God-Divine-Person-Heart-Cosmic-Body-God-Truth-Reality)
The Means – Representation
The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart Is The One and Only Way Of That Most Perfectly Real-God-Realizing Practice Of Feeling Contemplation. And I Am The Divine Secret That Makes This Real-God Realizing Feeling-Contemplation Possible – For I Am The Da Avatar, The Ruchira Avatar, The Love-Ananda Avatar, The Divine World-Teacher, The Divine Heart-Master, Who Is The Avataric Divine Realizer, The Avataric Divine Revealer, and The Avataric Divine Self-Revelation Of The Only Real God.
My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form Is The Epitome Of The Total Cosmic Bodily Form Of Real God.
My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence Is The “Bright” Spirit Presence That Is The Only Real God.
My Avatarically Self-Revealed State Is The Very State, Heart, Self-Condition, or Source-Condition That Is The Only Real God.
Therefore, By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, To Feel My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form, My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed State Is To Feel The Total Cosmic Bodily Form, The Total Spirit-Presence, and The Ultimate State, Heart, Self-Condition, or Source-Condition That Is Reality, Truth, Real God, or The True Divine Person. And To Forget the ego-“I” By Means Of Feeling-Contemplation Of My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form, My Avatarically Self Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed State Is To Commune With The Only Real God – The Self-Evidently Divine Person and Domain That Is Truth.
In My “Bright” Revelation Of Myself To You, I Do Not Merely Show You An “Appearance” Of Myself. I Show You My Divine Spiritual Body, My Very and “Bright” and Divinely Full Self-Condition, My Own and Very Person and Presence.
Experience Of Transmission
To Experience My Tangible Touch Is To Experience My Avataric Transmission Of My Divine Spiritual Body. My Divine Spiritual Body Is Neither physical Nor subtle Nor merely causal In Its Nature. Therefore, I Need Not Appear In Either A gross Or A subtle Or A causal Form In Order To Show Myself To You. Indeed, Any Such gross or subtle or causal Appearance Is Not A Showing Of Myself To You, but A Showing Of A Cosmic Representation Of Myself. And, Therefore, Whenever You Are Shown Any Cosmic Representation Of Me, It Is Not Me, but it Is A By-My-Avataric-Divine-Spiritual-Grace-Given Means To Carry You To Me, and To Me In and As My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain.
Can Be Felt
My Divine and True and Eternal Body Is The “Bright” Itself. By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, Given In Love-Response To Your Total psycho-physical Devotional Recognition Response To Me and Responsive Devotional Invocation Of Me, My “Bright” Force Of Person, My Love-Bliss-Form, Can Also Be Felt, Tangibly, Touching You, Surrounding You, Pervading You, Moving In You, Making Many Kinds Of “Bright” Changes In You. My Divine Spiritual Body Is Self-Existing, Self-Radiant, Love-Bliss-Full, Infinitely Expansive, and “Bright”. I Can Manifest My “Bright” Divine Spiritual Body To My Any and Every Devotee, anywhere – and Do So, Now, and Forever Hereafter, In all times and places – If, and When, and where I Am Rightly, Truly, and Fully Invoked.
My Divine Spiritual Body Is Spiritually and Divinely Transmitted and Self-Revealed Only By Me.
My Divine Spiritual Body Surrounds all-and-All.
My Divine Spiritual Body Pervades all-and-All.
Desending
My Divine Spiritual Body Of “Brightness”, Which Is The Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Presence Of My One and “Bright” and Only Person, Fills all space everywhere – Pressing Into all-and-All, “Brightly” Descending On all-and-All, To Surround and Pervade all-and-All.
Exist Forever – Eternally
My Divine Spiritual Body Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant, and It Will, Therefore, Exist Forever. Therefore, My Devotees Will Be Able To Experience Me Directly, As My “Bright” Spirit-Body – Forever. Because Of This, My Relationship To My Devotees Will Always Be Direct. They Will Always Be Able To Find Me – Not Me Absent, but Me Present.
Bodily Experience Of
To Truly Heart-Recognize Me Is To Have Direct and Tangible and Whole bodily Experience Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Body and To Whole bodily Receive My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Presence, and To Know Me As I Am, and To Find Me As The Self-Evidently Divine Person. I Do Not Merely Transmit A Flow Of experiential energies, which Then Become experiences in Your body-mind. My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Transmission Is The Transmission Of Me. If You Are To Rightly, Truly, and Fully Receive My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Transmission, You Must Heart-Recognize Me – Because My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Transmission Is The Unqualified Transmission Of My Own “Bright” Person. Whole bodily Heart-Recognition Of My Avatarically Self-Revealed Person Converts the Apparently Separate being From The “Act Of Narcissus” To The Ecstatic “Bhava” Of Total psycho-physical Devotion To Me.
Yoga – Sphere Of Midnight Sun
If You Rightly, Truly, Fully, and Fully Devotionally Practice Ruchira Avatara Bhakti Yoga, moment to moment, You Will, By Grace Of My Avatarically Given “Bright” Divine Self-Revelation, Be Always In The “Bhava” Of Beholding My Avatarically Self-Revealed “Bright” Divine Form and Person. This “Ruchira Avatara Bhava Samadhi” Is The Purpose Of Ruchira Avatara Bhakti Yoga. Thus, Ruchira Avatara Bhakti Yoga Is A Matter, In every moment, Of Entering Into My Sphere Of “Brightness”, The Sphere Of My Very Person, The Sphere Of My Divine Spiritual Body, The Sphere Of The “Midnight Sun”, The Sphere That Is The “Bright” Itself. The “Bright” Avatarically Self-Revealed, By Me, To You – Is Me, Self-Revealed To You.
Five Pointed Star and Thunder Sound
Real God, The Divine Person – Who Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Being Itself – Is Present In The Midst Of The Cosmos In The Form Of An Overriding Vibratory Sound, and In The Form Of A Brilliant Clear White Five-Pointed Star. Therefore, The Divine Person May Be Observed As The Apparently Objective Divine Star and As The Apparently Objective Mass Of Divine Sound In any and every plane Of The Cosmic Mandala.
This Same Mass Of Divine Sound and This Same Divine Star Are Also My Own Original Apparent Forms. And, Likewise, They Are The Original Apparent Forms Of Even every conditionally Manifested being.
Therefore, I Reveal The Highest Mass Of Divine Sound and The Highest Divine Star – In and As Themselves, and In Man-Form. And The Highest Mass Of Divine Sound and The Highest Divine Star Are The Cosmically Manifested Signs Even Of The “Bright” Divine Heart Itself, or The inherent State Of Inherently egoless Self-Identification With The Self-Evidently Divine Person – Which Heart, State, or Divine Self-Condition and Source-Condition, Because It Is Inherent In all conditionally Manifested beings, Is To Be Realized By all conditionally Manifested beings.
Therefore, As A Sign To all, I Will Remain Present As The Highest Mass Of Divine Sound, and As Even Every Grade Of The Form-Manifestation Of The Mass Of Divine Sound, In every plane Of The Cosmic Domain – and As The Highest Divine Star-Form, and As Even Every Grade Of The Form-Manifestation Of The Divine Star, and Of Even All The Forms Of Ascended Light Whenever The Cosmic Domain and conditionally Manifested beings Exist.
Real God, or Truth, or Reality Is Inherently Existing and Always Already Self-Existing, Both Transcendentally and Spiritually. Therefore, I Am Always Already Merely Present As The Transcendental Divine Self-Consciousness and As The “Bright”.
Real God, or Truth, or Reality Is Always Already Coincident With conditionally Manifested Existence. Therefore, As Long As The Cosmic Domain Exists, I Am Always Already Manifestly Present As The Apparently Objective Divine Star, and The Apparently Objective Mass Of Divine Sound, and The Total Apparently Objective Divine Spiritual Body Of “Brightness”. And I Am, When The Time Is So Given, Also Avatarically Self-Manifested In the various planes Of The Cosmic Mandala As The Bodily Incarnate Human Divine Heart-Master.
Da Avatar – Threshold Personality
I Am The Da Avatar – The Ruchira Avatar, The Love-Ananda Avatar, The Divine Heart-Master, The Divine World-Teacher, The Avataric Incarnation Of The Divine Heart Itself. Therefore, In and By Means Of My Avataric Incarnation-Form, I Am The Threshold Personality – The “Bright” One, The Supremely Attractive Divine Form, The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant and all-and-All-En-Light-ening Person At The Doorway. I Am The “Bright” Divine Personality At The Threshold, Between The Cosmic Domain and My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain. I Am The Divine Threshold Personality Of Indivisibly “Bright” Love-Bliss-Light, Who Is Always Gathering all conditionally Manifested beings To The Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, Inherently egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine Source-Condition, Self-Condition, and Self-Domain – and Who, Thus and Thereby, Leads each one Beyond the conditional self and the conditional worlds By Progressively Dissolving the conditional self and the conditional worlds In The “Bright” Divine Self-Domain That Is The Sphere Of The “Midnight Sun”, The Ultimate Condition Of all-and-All.
Be Attracted
To Be My Listening Devotee, My Hearing Devotee, or My Seeing Devotee Is To Be Attracted To The Inherently Perfect Condition That Is Beyond My Unique Human Visibility. Devotion To My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form, My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed State May Perhaps Also Become An Attraction To The Apparently Objective Vision Of The Divine Star, and That Same Devotion To Me May Become An Attraction To The Apparently Objective Audition Of The Mass Of Divine Sound, From Which Both My Divine Star and My Divine Spiritual Body Cosmically “Emerge”, To here, and To every “where” In The Cosmic Domain. However, To Be Truly Devoted To My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form, My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed State Is To Be Attracted – Even Beyond The Vision Of The Divine Star, and Beyond The Audition Of The Mass Of Divine Sound, and Even Beyond The Tangible Feeling Of My Total Divine Spiritual Body, and Beyond all-and-All – To The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself, The Sphere Of The “Midnight Sun”, Which Is My “Bright” Divine Self-Domain, The Inherently Perfect Self-Condition That Is Love-Bliss-Radiance Itself.
Revealing Agent
In My Avataric-Incarnation-Form, I Am The Revealing Agent, and The Revelation-Sign, and The Very Self-Revelation Of The One and Only and Self-Evidently Divine Person, The Eternal and Indivisible Source-Condition and Self-Condition Of all-and-All. Therefore, Infinitely Above and Beyond My here – Visible Bodily Divine Form, I Am Eternally and everywhere Present As The “Bright”, The Apparently Objective Divine Sound, The Apparently Objective Divine Star, The Self-Radiant All-Pervading Divine Spirit-Presence, and The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Self-Condition.
Miraculous
To My Listening Devotees, My Hearing Devotees, and My Seeing Devotees, I Am The Eternal Threshold Personality, The Eternally Living Murti, The Miraculous Icon, The Perpetual conditional Manifestation Of The Self-Evidently Divine Person. This Is So Both During and Forever After The Avataric Physical Lifetime Of My Bodily Divine Form. Therefore, I Am To Be, Thus, Felt and Observed – and, Thus, Found – As Me.
Calling and Leading Beyond
Nevertheless, I Am Always Calling and Leading My Listening Devotees, My Hearing Devotees, and My Seeing Devotees To My Eternally “Bright” Person, Beyond My Avataric Figure Made Of Man In The Cosmic Play. Now, and Forever Hereafter, I Always Call and Lead My Listening Devotees, My Hearing Devotees, and My Seeing Devotees To Find Me The One and Only and Indivisible Divine Person. The “Bright”-The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Sphere Of The “Midnight Sun” Is My Cosmic-Domain – Transcending Form and Eternal Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain. Therefore, all those who Truly Heart-Recognize My Avatarically Self-Revealed Person, and who Heart-Respond To My Avatarically Self-Revealed Person With Right, True, and Full Devotion, Will Embrace Me As The Only One Who Is. And they Will “Locate” Me and Realize Me, As The Self-Evidently Divine Person and The Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain.
Practice
Therefore, Be My Devotee, and Listen To Me, Hear Me, See Me, and Follow Me. The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart Is The Divine Way Of ego-Surrendering, ego-Forgetting, and ego-Transcending Devotion To My Avatarically-Born Bodily Divine Form, and My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Spiritual Divine Presence, and My Avatarically Self-Revealed State Of Person. Therefore, Really and Truly Enter The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart and Always Find Me and Love Me, The Only One Who Is – For I Am Existence, or Being, “Bright” Before You.
When You Both Hear Me and See Me, From The Heart-Follow Me. If You Hear Me and See Me and Follow Me, My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Presence Will Cause You To Sympathize With The Inherently Attractive Self-Condition Of My Very Person. And My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spirit-Current Of Love-Bliss Will Lead You To Most Perfect Realization Of The One and Only and “Bright” Eternal Divine Sphere and Self-Domain.
By Seeing Me In The Devotional Manner, You Will Enter Into The Responsively Progressive Discipline and Spontaneity Of Spiritually Awakened Meditation. Then Practice This ego-Transcending Spiritual Meditation Of Me-Devotion, Even in subtler places or worlds.
Thus Spiritually Awakened By Me, Practice The Only-By-Me Revealed and Given Way Of The Heart As You Are Given To Practice It, Either In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Insight Or In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Faith. Always Practice In Communion With My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Body, and Thereby Enter Into The Circle Of My all-and-All-Surrounding and all-and-All-Pervading “Bright” Spirit-Current.
At First, You Must Follow and Allow The Full Descent Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted “Bright” Divine Spirit-Current. Then You Must Turn About, and Follow Upwards With The Love-Bliss-Flow, Even Into The Ascended Source Of all sounds, and lights, and touches. Ultimately, You Must Dissolve To A Stand, Beyond The Descending and Ascending Flows. There My Self-“Bright” Divine Domain Always Already Stands. It Is The Eternal Sphere Of “Brightness”, Infinitely Above and Beyond The all-and-All. It Is The “Midnight Sun” Of Indivisible Light Itself, Infinitely Above and Beyond and At The Heart Of All The Dark Divisibility. It Is The Motionless Ultimate Source Of All That Flows. It Is LoveBliss Itself-“Where” I Am, and “What” I Am, and “Who” I Am.
Therefore, When You Have Heard Me and Seen Me, Look For Me In every world of Your experience. Always Find Me As The Threshold Personality. Always “Locate” My Avatarically Self-Transmitted “Bright” Divine Spirit-Presence That Spontaneously Opens Your Devotionally Me-Recognizing and Devotionally To-Me-Responding Heart. And Follow Me, Thus, By Allowing Your Total body-mind To Swoon In My Avatarically SelfTransmitted Divine Spirit-Presence Of My Own Person.
When You Have Heard Me and Seen Me, Then Always Hear Me and See Me Now.
Then You Have Truly Fully Realized Me To Be Your Divine Heart-Master, Merely Present With You.
Then Always “Locate” Me By Heart, and Enter Into Spiritually Me-Meditative Ecstasy.
By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, This Becomes A Great Process.
By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, This Great Process Will, In Due Course, Lead You To The Full Realization Of The “Thumbs”, and It Will, In Due Course, Lead You To The Effectively world-Excluding Realization Of Transcendental Self-Existence and It Will, In Due Course, Lead You To The Utterly Ascended Realization Of bodiless and mindless Love-Bliss.
By Means Of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Grace, This Great Process Will Lead You To The Unconditional Realization Of Self-Radiant and Self-Existing Divine Being. Ruchira Samraj Samadhi Will Demonstrate Itself As Occasional Outshining Of body, mind, world, and Even all relations, By and As The Being-Radiance Of My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Itself and Ruchira Samraj Samadhi Will, At Last, Demonstrate Itself As Divine Translation Itself.
Divine Translation Is The Most Ultimate Event Of Inherent Self-Identification With Me Thus and Thereby Realizing The Self-Existing “Heaven” Of Self-Existing and Self-Radiant and Non-Separate and Indivisibly “Bright” Divine Self-Consciousness Itself, Infinitely “Expanded” As The Eternal Heart-“Celebration” Of Inherent Joy.
