Mantram -1.


Discussion-2. matter,  Lord,  ruler ...


Spirit muffled  in  'matter' is the living  being.

In  every  entity  in  the  world-of-objects  the  Spirit  indwells,  permeating  everywhere  in  the homogeneous  all-pervasiveness.

'Matter' is  but an  equipment through  which  Truth  expresses  Itself  in  the  dynamic-"life",  as  known  to  all  of  us.

But, in  fact,  beneath  it  all,  pervading  everywhere  is  the  very  kernel  of  Life,  the ' Spirit' or  the  "Self" which  is  the  "Lord" of  these  'matter' habitations.



The  Lord  is  thus  omnipresent  and  acts  as  the  'Governor',  'Ruler',  'Monitor' ---  the "Governor"
 of  all  environments,  the  'Ruler' over  all  sense-activities,  and  the  'Monitor' in  all  mental  and  intellectual  functions.

And  yet,  we  are  not  conscious  of  this  Lord!

This  is  a  great  tragedy,  and  this  is  to  be  ended.

"Allow  not  this  darkness  of  ignorance  to  shroud  the  Light  of  Truth".

"Bring  out  the  Lord  to  envelop  the  phenomenal  world,  and  thus,  in  His  Infinite  Light,  let  the  experience  of  multiplicity  be  to  the  enlightened  seeker,  a  vision  clothed  in  celestial  Light
Divine"  seems  to  be  the  silent  import  here.



In  short, 'Life  is  the  Veil  of  Matter',  'Clothe  matter  with  the  Light  of  the  Supreme  Lord',  
'End  the  false  hallucination  ... Experience  the  God-vision' --- these  are  all  implied  in  the  teacher's  exalted  out-burst  of  confident  wisdom.

When  properly  analysed  and  logically  revaluated,  each  one  of  us  can  end  all  our  of  all  'mis-apprehensions', and  the  'Spirit' shall  emerge  out  of  al  our  mental  projections  and  the  consequent  inner  confusions.
