26. NECESSITY OF
DEVELOPING LATENT POWERS OF THE SPIRIT
46.
Our survey of the correspondence of the macrocosm with the microcosm is now
complete. The location of the spirit-entity and the region where it will attain
supreme and everlasting bliss have also been determined. The means and methods
for reaching that region and for traversing the intervening spheres and space
remain to be found out. They are explained below.
47.
The preliminary step for the commencement of the journey is the development of
the inherent powers of the spirit. It will then be endowed with the necessary
energy for going up to the spiritual region. Since the spirit has made its
advent into the material regions of creation, the impressions upon it and its
responsive actions are those appertaining to the material or lower worlds. Its
outward currents, namely, those associated with mind and matter have,
accordingly, derived energy and strength, while the inward spiritual force has
remained latent. If inward impressions be produced upon the centre of spirit
similar to those appertaining to the outward currents, the latent powers of the
spirit will be developed, and the spirit-entity will be endowed with the
necessary impulse and energy to commence the journey to higher regions.
He who helps a man spiritually is the greatest benefactor of mankind (Swami Vivekanand)
ReplyDeleteDeveloping latent powers of spirit enhances spiritual wellness. Spiritual wellness leverages physical, emotional and social wellness.

I have developed a mathematical formula for spiritual quotient (S.Q.), an Index of Spirituality and an indicator of our level of spiritual wellness.
ReplyDeleteTo awaken the latent powers of the spirit a tattva darshi living Guru is required - one who is conversant with the whole path of the macrocosm in the microcosm.A Guru knowing only the partial path cannot help in redeeming jivas. The Sant Satguru in Radhasoami Faith is just such a Guru.
ReplyDelete'A Guru knowing only the partial path cannot help in redeeming jivas'. We should take care and exercise restraint while posting such views in public domain. We should not forget that Ramanand was the Guru of Kabir. 'Kashi mein hum prakat bhaye Ramanand chetaye'.
ReplyDelete"Withdrawal of attention from the objects of the world and it's concentration inwards, even to a little extent, produce a feeling of freshness and Bliss of a very high order". (Sir Sahab ji Maharaj)
ReplyDeletePartial withdrawal of the spirit from the physical body as experienced in the stated of dream and trance op r it's complete withdrawal as in the case of disembodied spirits is attended with the awakening of extraordinary powers in man, it is not improbable that release of the spirit from the coverings of both body and mind should result in the manifestation of still higher powers in the spirit. (Sir Sahab ji Maharaj)

ReplyDeleteA simplified explanation of purpose and capabilities of human body has been presented to realize the ulimate goal under the guidance of "Guru"
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sir Sahab ji Maharaj "...those who have fixed up realization of their Self and the True Supreme Being as the aim of their life are men who make full use of their physical faculties and intellect and are therefore pre-eminent among all men."
