TRANSCENDING SALVATION: WORSHIPING THE TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT

What is that truth and spirit that is the preferred and highest worship? Why is God unmanifest and manifest worship greater than salvation itself?

God is the creator of all the heavens and galaxies. God is the creator of the planets and all their existing life forms and beings. God is, also, the creator of all revered Deities, Gods and Goddesses residing subtley within all the plains and realms of existence. God is everything as it is and is everything before anything ever was: the nature of God is imperishable and formless in its existence. God cannot truly be known. And in order to know a portion of the almighty one, divine worship of the truth and the spirit pervading everything and in everyone is necessary. The heart of each individual contains that portion of God dwelling inside of him: to know that is to extend into and know God.

Lord Jesus believed and knew that the only true worship was that of the one true God in truth and spirit. The life that God hath breathed into man is that Supreme Light of God; this is not full God, but a portion of that truth and spirit. It is said that all things are made by God and nothing is possible in existence without that knowledge of that one pure God. This knowledge has been bestowed into man from time immemorial; however the dilusion and ignorance in vast amount has led to the seeking of that one true spirit externally in all forms. And over the course of time, man knows not how to seek that kingdom of God within him that reveals all things to him. So naturally, even salvation itself is sought from God externally. Man no longer knows that the one true God manifest within him--as the truth and the spirit--can grant that salvation itself; it is a gift from God.

So for a man to be pious and merciful before another, this can become the greatest evil and work of egoism. Lord Jesus says salvation is for the Jews because he saw them as a people seeking to gain the glory of God for salvation; Lord Jesus believed that man should worship God as the truth and the spirit for the sake of worship itself and becoming one with God (like Lord Jesus). God should be obeyed and worshipped with grace for attaining oneness and binding back to that true nature from which man has come. In this light, nothing needs to be asked or begged of God. The man of God has the glories of God within him by having grace itself with that one true spirit. Lord Krishna emphasizes that the dilusion of pairs of opposites [dualities] must be transcended as one worships God with a firm resolve. To know God as that one true spirit that gives all things--as it is all things--not only does one reach salvation, but he also becomes that salvation itself, for himself and others.

Lord Jesus reminds all that God is spirit and must be worshiped as the truth and the spirit. The truth is all things in manifest and unmanifest: humans, animals, elements, nature, dirt, planets, universes, galaxies, good, evil, friends, enemies, and so on. As mentioned, God is all things and in all things. Before there was intelligence of a thing or a conceived thing itself, there was that one true God: the spirit. God is not aware of these things happening because God is all things happening and not happening. No one knows what the brain is doing when it is not being observed. It is only because we observe it, we are somewhat aware of is intricacies. However, we have a belief and feeling that something is happening there in the skull. There could be universes, galaxies and whole existences of sorts--beyond our tiny understandings--occuring in our brain at a grand scale. Nevertheless, it is not possible to truly know because one cannot see and know the inner workings of the brain at each and every moment: there are more neurons and cells in the brain than there are people on the planet.

The same can be thought with God. God is an entity that has all these things going on in and around the imperishable form. It is not possible for God to be aware of the infinite number of things occuring simultaneously and in tandem of everything else. And because God is the truth and the spirit, for God to attempt to know or gain intelligence and understanding of himself is ignorance. God is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of himself in all moments of all things and existences. It would be like a human seeking the true nature and origin of his existence(s) instead of living and being in that existence itself. In essence, to search for one's calling, origin, history or true nature is not only ignorance, but it also takes that person out of the now existence of himself; he leaves the present moment of the eternal witness within him.

Without God as a spirit, not one thing is possible. This is why it is said that in God is life and that life was the light of men. Lord Jesus requested men to worship this one true God because there is nothing else to be named that is not God: name, title and form is irrelevant because it is all God in truth and spirit, by nature itself. Lord Jesus believed people to be ignorant to be worshiping things other than the one true God. Even Lord Jesus himself was aware that he existed as God in manifest truth and spirit. Many a time did he profess that his disciples only knew him because of the spirit of God flowing through him and not because of the body that was given. To worship the truth and the spirit is to be in the light of all things and live as God does: unaware of even his own formlessness.

Man must go firmly towards God. All existences are a part of that one true spirit. To worship the one true God is to worship everything: Jesus, Krishna, Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Buddha, Mohammed, Allah, Moses, Solomon, rivers, oceans, trees, plants, fire, air, Earth, universes, galaxies and everything that is the base and cause for all of these. The ways of God are beyond the word infinite itself. Nothing can contain God.

So abandon ignorance, illusions, and egoism: it is no use in grasping to anything. It is all God. God is the truth and spirit. And God is also the base of the truth and the spirit itself. God is everything and nothing, infinitely. So go straight to God: what more...


Love and Light...
