Truth

                            Among countless meditators who along their gradual awakening through the spiritual growth process and through their acquaintance with the various Divine and Universal laws of life, only a few through their extremely committed spiritual homework have that rare opportunity of transcending the Absolute or the Unitarian plane. After transcending the seventh plane these devotees of God have that rare opportunity of completely abiding in God forever. The devotees of God who have transformed themselves into the form of the entire manifested Universe have now established themselves as minute concentrations of the Universal Self in the Infinite expanse of the Cosmos. The entire manifested Cosmos and the devotee who is now one with the Absolute are  now one and the same. It is at this stage that one awakens to the Supreme Truth and starts living exemplary lives, following the path of Dharma, aiding God’s mission by enlightening the respective planets they habitate with the Light of Lights. Finding fulfillment only in God and realizing that God is the only permanent reality in the entire Cosmos, considering the stark reality that he is none other than the living truth and therefore being a torchbearer of truth, he sets about the the remaining portion of his life aspiring to be a true son of God, helping his fellow human beings elevate themselves into God realized beings.

                           Out of the countless meditators who are on the search for the Divine, why do only a handful awaken to the Supreme Truth? Like in any other endeavour in human life, one requires the passion and the necessary drive to succeed on the spiritual path. An inborn  devotee of God like a Sri Krishna has that extraordinary capacity of transcending not only the seventh but even the tenth plane. People who are paralysed and handicapped with intense suffering in their lives have that deep burning desire to reach only one goal, to transcend suffering and reach a state of no-suffering. Still there are most of them, who inquire into human existence, find no substance and meaning in their lives, realize that their material goals and objectives are as shallow as the waters of a brook streaming downhill and take that quantum leap into the depths of consciousness, become successful and reserve a place for themselves in the Kingdom of God. Falling among the above three categories of spiritual aspirants is not enough, in fact, being successful on the spiritual path needs like mentioned before, the great enthusiasm and the maximum thrust like the never dying spirit of a warrior like Alexander the Great setting out to conquer the world.

                              Realising the Truth and transcending this plane forever establishes us into the state of no-suffering. The Ultimate state of the stage of permanent happiness further fills our life with a storehouse of everlasting bliss. We, who have been suffering from the onslaught of countless human lives till date have finally been liberated from the vicious cycle of  birth and death forever. The quality of love which had developed earlier transforms into compassion when we awaken to the Supreme Truth.

                            Not being able to realize the Truth would mean a life wasted in coming face to face with the Supreme Reality. A blissless state would imply the seeker without the fruit or a state of incompleteness. Being deprived of realizing the Truth would mean having to wait for another or still countless number of lives to get ourselves acquainted with the Supreme Reality  in order to be liberated from the bondage of human life forever. In other words, the incapacity to get in touch with the Unitarian plane would mean being inadequate or unfulfilled to comprehend the Absolute or not being capable enough to become a complete spiritual being.

                        Roy Eugene Davis, a direct, personal disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda has described the realm of Supreme Truth as follows,

              “The unbounded realm of Unmodified Consciousness- Existence-Being”

                 “Soul awareness is Pure Consciousness, Absolute-Existence-Being”

                   The soul  awareness of Truth seekers who realize the Ultimate Truth is about God, Absolute-Existence-Being. According to one of the Shankara’s of the eight century, God alone is real all else is unreal and temporary. Those who realize the Supreme Truth and get to know the Supreme Reality define Reality as God. Those whose awareness has not been able to capture the seventh Unitarian plane of the Supreme Truth and propogates a false theory that there is no Existence, rather, that there is a presence of the Non-Existence after the dissolution process of the Universe are mistaken because such unfulfilled souls are not enlightened enough to  be able to comprehend  what Reality or God is  all about. The encounter with the Absolute-Existence-Being by those who have realized the Truth simply clarifies and  supports the theory that it is none other than the most Supreme Godhead who is the only living reality and that invalid theories like the existence of the Non-Existence is baseless and holds no ground. We have validated evidence of the existence of God from many who have realized the Supreme Truth such as Buddha, Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Mahaveer, Mohammed etc. When the other mediocore Non-Being saints could not comprehend what Reality or God is all about , when they were not Enlightened in the true sense, how can they be able to justify and validate the existence of God? It needs the knowledge of the Absolute or the Supreme Truth to get to realize God. How can unfulfilled souls who aren’t Enlightened or those who haven’t realized the Supreme Truth get to know what God  is about? All great souls who are God realized are Enlightened beings and those who haven’t chanced to realize God, unenlightened, because the state of Enlightment or the state of the Supreme Truth is about realising and getting to unite with God.The only reason why some Non-Being saints propogate the Non-being theory and claim the existence of the Non-Existence is that they have not come face to face with the Supreme Reality which is God. 

                                        

The soul,when it shall have driven away from itself all that is contrary to the Divine Will, becomes transformed in love -the soul then becomes immediately enlightened by and transformed in God.

                                            -Saint John of Cross(16th century) 

                The soul once it realizes that the cause of its existence is God and further awakens to the reality that the only source of fulfillment is found in God  abides in Brahman Forever. We, being born as human beings, have that task of getting disidentified with our material nature and getting ourselves identified with our non-material nature. We may all reach certain destinations during our spiritual growth process upto which we are destined to realize but the one and only objective while on the search for God would be to shed our material nature and become spiritually evolved souls.
