50. PROOF THAT ORIGIN OF INCARNATIONS AND PROPHETS OF EXTANT RELIGIONS FROM BRAHMANDA

            79. It has been mentioned above that the incarnations and prophets referred to descended upon this earth from the regions of the Universal Mind. The proof in support of this statement is to be found in the holy books revealed by them, as the esoteric allusions made therein clearly indicate to one trained in spiritual science, that the goal of the incarnations etc. was situated in the second grand division of creation. To a layman, however, these allusions are incomprehensible, and no differentiation is made by him between the goals of the various extant religions.

            80. Many things which appear on their face to be impossible or ridiculous are perceived to imply the various stages and means of the spiritual journey. It is, for instance, said that the prophet Mohammed ascended to the sky on his well-known horse, Burraq, and that he divided the moon in the course of his ascent. To the ordinary person, who has no acquaintance with esoteric technicalities and who has not received esoteric training, the incidents, referred to, would appear to be in the nature of a myth. But to an alumnus of a spiritual alma mater, they present quite a different significance. The horse, Burraq, is the highest electric current of the third or material division of creation. It is, as it were, the life and spirituality of everything physical in this division, and it is only by a ride upwards upon that current that ascent to the higher division is possible. The fountain-head of this current is in the moon (which should not be confounded with the earth's satellite), the orb which is above our sun and which corresponds to the sixth ganglion of Pind, viz, the seat of the spirit. For further ascension, it is necessary that this centre should be penetrated. When this penetration was effected by the prophet, it might well be stated in spiritual technicality, that he cut asunder the moon in twain. He then got a glimpse of the dazzling flame, the 'Jyoti' of the Vedic religion, the consort of 'Maya Sabala Brahma'. All commands and revelations were made to Mohammed from this place, and the goal of his teachings ends here.
