Having trodden the path carefully the aspirant has now arrived at the Gateway to another wonderful journey of the body, soul, and spirit. Truman Caylor Wadlington who spent precious time with Yogi Ramsuratkumar takes us into the far reaches of time to get a hint of the evolutionary development which looms ahead for the liberated soul.
Time's gateways of rebirth plus immeasurable effort eventually carry the aspirant to the portal of one or another of the Seven paths to bliss. Only the advanced master and the liberated to an extremely high degree may begin to walk upon one or another of the Seven paths. The Seven paths is not the end of the journey either. The Seven paths of higher evolution prepare the great one for more intense work within the planetary hierarchy becoming a Solar Angel. But even that is not the end.
Just as there is no end to the evolution of the shackled soul, there is no end to the evolution of the liberated being, for as the Buddha said, "Veil upon veil shall lift but still veil upon veil will be found."
So even that rare and exalted being who has developed to the stage where he rejects his perfect body, vestures, and vehicles of consciousness and who merges his consciousness with the absolute does not in actuality terminate his evolutionary endeavor.
Yogi Ramsuratkumar understood it all too well and said, "Emancipation was not the end for the beggar, rather it was the beginning for him."
Beginning from the supramental which was his first step beyond the intermediate platform which bridges the lower development to the higher evolution, through no effort of his own he was carried forth to levels above and beyond those vast and unexplored frontiers.
Once the doors opened there began not only a growth of the consciousness but also a transformation and mutation of his lower being. This process was vitally important for it allowed him to constuct for his work a body of occult expression, a body which allows an adept to work through and with energy as the divine plan dictates. There was both a fusion of the human and the divine in him, and a reworking of his terrestrial form-nature to be an embodiment of divine qualities. Ramsurat has alluded to the fact that this transformation is a natural and spontaneous phenomena to all men of a liberated consciousness. It is the natural consequence of being open to the extreme force and magnetism of the divine.We now understand why Lord Muruga ask us to open up.
The energies entering into the body manipulate the substance of the form with a purpose and an intelligence of their own so that the matter of the being is reconstructed into a form for divine expression. Through an intergral surrender to the divine will and an opening up to the superior powers of consciousness all is then suffused with the life and light of the supramental. Finally this divine reworking makes the form increasingly sensitive, conscious and responsive to the vibrations of the pure spirit ...
Over the years his very flesh and blood undergoes a total permutation by rarefied creative energies. When a man blossoms forth into spirit it must be done with every aspect of his being. It must be a material as well as a spiritual unfoldment. He transforms the purest and the grossest elements of his constitution and triumphs over the lower nature and the ignorant laws which govern it.
Matter is the vehicle for the manifestation of the soul. The soul is the vehicle for the manifestation of spirit and life synthesizes and pervades the trinity formed by the three. He knew that without working out a total transformation of even the gross material principles of his existence there would continue to exist an alienation and separation from that which was, in fact, the host and vehicle of his high consciousness. In this way then the body which was a hindrance to liberation was paradoxically the key to the wholeness of his being.
We understand now why Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha puts forward the theory that "It is not the lack of the soul's presence that makes the body inactive and lifeless but the last natural and irreparable defect or disorder of the body itself." The nature of the body is completely opposed to the nature of the soul. The body is made, the soul isn't. So the question arises, "How can two things opposed to each other exist together?"
Within himself he created a perfect channel of light and life between the higher and lower divine aspects and constructed a bridge between the world of spiritual life and the world of daily physical plane living. He now could function as a transmitter of energy directly from the spirit of the Monad, via the soul and through the lower nature. He could stimulate, vivify and energize all lives that he came into contact with be it seekers, animals or flowers.
This reminds us of how Ahalya was freed and came forth the moment Lord Rama's foot brushed against her stone-formed body. Damned to be turned into stone by her husband Sage Gautama, Ahalya was freed from the curse henceforth and turned back to her human form.
Ramsuratkumar's heart went out to the world. He understood fully his life and mission and he gave himself over to that work, work which was not his alone, but which was the mutual endeavour of all those who are the Custodians of the Plan, work which is beautiful in design and in conformity with the creative purpose of the divine.
His became the joy of participation in the divine plan the joy of helping to solace a needy world of bringing light to darkened souls and in healing to some measure the opened sore of the worlds distress. From that moment onwards Ramsuratkumar's life was consecrated to the service of the world, conforming to the view that the enlightened did not continue to stay in solitude or keep themselves shut away from others. The saints after enlightenment came back into the society. The Siddhas too live in our midst attending to their chores and occasionally aid us when we call for them. Buddha after attaining Nirvana was in another realm and shown a thousand heads and told that he had to come back too.
It is a work that goes beyond lifetimes. As for us, for now, let us fulfill the purpose we came for. For now, let us do the task on hand.
