Commentaries by Vee Jay Attri during the Book Study – Secrets of Karma
For people in Mauritius, it is another lock down period. Perhaps, the Divine is over and again indicating us to go within deeper within ourselves. I was informed that for the first time in the history of Shivratri in Mauritius, for several decades, the shivala and all the temples are closed.
This is unprecedented event that has happened in the country which otherwise the world knows it as a paradise on the planet. So, if repeatedly all these things are happening, I think, we need to really go deep within ourselves and understand the messages that are conveyed to us over and over again.
It is more important for us to move towards subtlety. That definitely, is a very positive indication, rather than moving outward in search of God. It is high time that we start our journey inwardly. For many of you who are already on it, wonderful.
But this is exactly one of the powerful indication that we need to start our journey inwardly rather than looking for anything outside, including God. So, as the world is progressing towards subtlety, it is high time we start contemplating on all these powerful messages.
You know, there was a time when I was in marketing of computers. I am talking about my marketing journey between 1980 to perhaps mid of 1993. At the beginning of my career when I was selling computers, I still remember, I was serving a company called HCL and I was actually in a special division called “Large Systems Division.” So, we had a “General Systems Division” where smaller computers were sold and I was in the Large Systems Divisions, LSD as we called it where we were selling very high end products at that time.
I remember, I was selling “System 4” which was considered to the state of our technology and then, the computer used to occupy a space of almost about 20 feet by 16 feet, in fact double that size in certain configurations. So, that was the size of computers that we were selling at that time and then, we used to have tape drives as a backup media and then, floppy drives were very common.
As a matter of fact, if you used to have a 1MB floppy drive, not even 1 GB, it was considered to be a very good size floppy drive. So, those were the times when in some way if you look at it, the technology was very gross. Today, the computer that was occupying almost 400 to 500 square feet of area is now, available on your small cell phone.
At least, maybe some of you who are tech oriented might be knowing it, maybe 100 times more powerful technology available in your cell phones. So, the processing power has really tripled in the last 3 decades, many times, not tripled, many times.
So, that is exactly what is the message contained in what I am trying to convey to you. In this era of Aquarius, it is the era of subtlety, communication is getting subtler and subtler day after day.
The data processing is becoming subtler and subtler. Same thing has to happen in the inner world which is already happening. You have to remember the esoteric rule: “As above, so below” and “As below, so above!”
So, whatever that is happening around you, the subtlety in technology is an indication that in the inner world there is a corresponding subtlety already happening and those who are going to rule the air, will rule the world. That means, if you cannot understand the subtlety that is happening in the inner world, you will be left behind.
So, to catch up with what is happening in the inner world, you have to go deeper and deeper within yourself, towards inward not outward. That means, it’s good for you to be a part of this kind of religious congregation but you, as a spiritual aspirant, aiming towards to become a leader, a disciple, you need to understand that it is time for you to look at the formless in the form.
That means, every moment, when you look at anything that is in the form, you have to learn to look at the formless. That is what in Hindi we say: “Chitra mein, vichitra ko dekne ka abhyas!” You have to practice looking at the formless within the form.
Whether it is your spiritual teacher, or whether it is God or whether it is the people in your life, learn to see the formless within the form. It is time for you to move towards subtlety. If you are going to be stuck with gross appearances, whether it is God, humans or your spiritual teachers, it is not actually a very healthy indication that you are moving towards inner levels or the core levels of spirituality.
So, these are all things that you need to contemplate very deeply and take every message that it is coming to you. There is a principle called “Principle of Synchronicity.” For a spiritual aspirant, even an ant that is moving around is carrying some message.
You have to synchronize your focus and your inner being with the messages that is being carried to you constantly by the universe. It can happen through gentle message that somebody is giving, you have to be in tune. So, when somebody is talking to me, while I am listening to that person, I also make an attempt to be in tune with the unspoken.
More often, the truth is in the unspoken, more often the truth is in the unseen. This is the truth and therefore, when you are confronted with these kind of challenges, rather than getting bogged down by the challenges, contemplate and go deep within yourself. At the beginning of the year itself, we declared that this year is the year of metamorphosis.
That means that it is actually a time for you to retreat as far as possible and go deep within yourself, asking very important critical questions about your life, about what is happening around you, about what is happening at the global level.
These are all very important indicators. All the time remember, whenever you are witnessing something in the grosser level, there is a message that is hidden in the inner world.
You have to be in tune with the energy of the inner world to decipher what is happening actually or what might be happening. That is why, many at times, I keep informing and suggesting people to be in tune with the etheric planet.
You know, the physical planet that you are seeing is only one aspect of what you see with your gross eyes but if you have the eyes to see, you can see the etheric counter part of the gross planet.
The moment you have the ability to be in tune with the etheric component of the physical planet, you understand multitude of energies that are part of the etheric body. These energies are an indication for you to know what is happening, what is going to happen.
Now, we do not have to stretch it too much and start believing the doomsday prophets. The doomsday prophets are right in some way but that is only a partial truth that we had spoken several times before because a minute change in the energy of the inner world can drastically change the output.
So, every day as we are bombarding the etheric body of beloved mother earth with the Great Invocation and many other powerful affirmations, certainly the shift is happening and already it is moving toward the critical mass.
So, though there has been predictions that are based on the quality of energy that is part of the etheric body, the quality of energy. Quality of energy means for eons of times, humanity collectively has been doing many things.
Most of them are negative activities, atrocities, genocide, so much of greed and hatred, all impregnated into the etheric body of beloved mother earth, constantly bombarding, even today obviously whatever that we sow in the inner world has to manifest in the outer world.
That is the law. So, if somebody is able to tune in to what has been sown into the inner world, they can easily derive a logical consequence of that action, in thought, in speech, in action itself, More importantly, at the mental and the emotional level.
So, it is easy for someone who is sensitive enough to be in tune with the etheric planet to come out with the consequence of whatever that is already impregnated in the etheric body. That is exactly where people like Nostradamus, people like other institutions which has been predicting destructions are actually prophesying but this is only partial truth.
Even if a handful of people.. I remember what Swami Vivenakanda said so beautifully, “if we get a person like Nachiketa, even twelve of them.” You know who is Nachiketa, we talked about the Katha Upanishad some times back, the hero of the Katha Uphanisad is Nachiketa.
What is so special about Nachiketa? He wanted an answer for all his longing of the heart. He went right up to the Lord of death to ask, “What is death? What happens after death?”
So, this enquiry, the right question that Nachiketa was asking one after the other to the Lord of death, the Yama as we called it, has been compiled into the Upanishad, called “Katha Upanishad”. Upanishad means “At the Feet of the Master.”
Here, the master is the Lord of death and the disciple is the young boy, Nachiketa. So, Swami Vivekananda said, “If I have even a dozen of Nachiketas, I can change the world!” We don’t need a large of number of people to make meaningful changes in the world.
Even a handful of people, absolutely committed in transforming the world, absolutely committed for self-mastery in thoughts, in emotions, in actions, a group of such people can definitely propel critical mass in a positive direction. This can simply disintegrate the mountains of psychic garbage that are surrounding our planet.
Once you are able to disintegrate these mountains of psychic garbage, what will remain is building up a very powerful base for bringing heaven of earth. Unless and until these psychic garbage are there, nothing can really happen because we need the energy to penetrate.
The God’s energy is all the time there but it is being blocked with these intense negative psychic energies. Do not be under the impression that God’s energy is so all powerful that it can do anything. It is not designed this way. There is something called free will which will never be violated, even by God, even by the Laws of Nature, even by Great masters.
Humanity, collectively has to make a choice towards a better life. They should be committed to transforming these energies that are surrounding the planet. First of all, it begins with the self-transformation.
So, today, on this auspicious day of the Maha Shivratree, take a resolute determination that as far as possible, “I shall check what kind of thoughts that are coming out of me, what kind of emotions that are being radiated from me to the planet, to the people in my environment and to my country.”
If you start having a check at least 5 or 6 times a day, what is happening at your thought and at your emotion level, we can do a lot of good things. So, the message that I am trying to convey to you, my dear brothers and sisters is ‘become focus on the subtlety of your life.’
You need to become very sensitive to the transformation process, you need to be sensitive to all that is happening around you. You need to know what exactly is happening in the inner world by taking the messages from whatever that is happening in the world of matter.
Remember the word, “Synchronicity!” Just look for the messages in anything and everything what is happening around you. There is no coincidence. Everything is so perfectly planned.
So, for a disciple who understands the laws of nature, for a disciple who is committed on the path, messages will be given from time to time. You have to get the messages. The right message that you get at the right time, can really prevent you from going through unnecessary pain and sufferings.
Alright, for today, it’s a very special day. Personally, I feel it’s already the beginning of a grand cycle. We shall make it together with our collective efforts in bringing light to the planet.
