Book Description
This book delineates the path-the ancient wisdom that has come to mankind ever since the world was made and which remains its sole hope of release and salvation. It is this path that all messengers of God come to reveal or uncover in all ages, climes and countries. It is natural and inherent within us. It was not designed by any human being. It is the design of the Creator and none can alter, amend or add to it. It is as ancient as man. The Creator, when he created human beings, designed this path in us. It is our exclusive patrimony and heritage. A pearl of great wisdom-the divine melody, the voice of God, the audible life stream, the Holy Ghost, the Word, the Logos, the Name, the Kun, the Sarosha, the music of the spheres- lies hidden in the human body and reverberates at the third eye focus. It is to this point that the body consciousness has to be retraced, retained and put in the orbit of the ever-resounding immanent power through the help of a knowing Master. Then alone shall darkness give way to light, ignorance to knowledge, and transience to immortality.
Three principles epitomize the philosophy behind the time- less path: (i) the Word or sound current, without which there can be no escape from this vale of tragedy and tears, nor release from the cycle of birth and rebirth; (ii) a living Master, with-out whom the secret of the Word cannot be obtained; and (iii) divine grace, without which the Master cannot be contacted. Such in essence is the path that the messengers of God unfold.
Only when we manifest the Lord within ourselves can we see him everywhere, in every leaf, in every grain, in every particle of sand, and realize that nothing can happen without him. The entire creation and its motivation are his dispensation. He is the doer behind all scenes. He is the player behind all games. He is the one who pulls the strings of the puppets behind all puppet shows.
