ARE YOU WANT TO INCREASE YOUR SALARY

 

                                             ORGANIZE YOUR THINKING

                           HILL : YOU HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THED NINTH PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT IS ORGANIZED THOUGHT. YOU HAVE STATED ASLO, THAT NO ONE MAY BE SURE OF SUCCESS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ORGANIZE HIS THINKING HABITS. THEREFORE, WILL YOU GO AHEAD, MR.CARNEGIE, AND EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THE TEAM "ORGANIZE THOUGHT?" I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA WHAT IT MEANS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DETAILED STATEMENT OF ITS MEANING - ALSO UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS PRINCIPLE IS APPLIED IN THE PRACTICAL AFFAIRS OF LIFE.

                           CARENEGIE : BEFORE DICUSSING THE ORGANIZING OF THOUGHT, LET US EXAMINE THOUGHT ITSELF, WHAT IS THOUGHT ? WITH WHAT DO WE THINK? IS THOUGHT SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL CONTROL?

                           THOUGHT IS A FORM OF ENERGY THAT IS DISTRIBUTED OF THROUGH THE BRAIN, BUT IT HAS ONE PECULIAR UNKNOWN IN CONNECTION WITH ALL OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY, IT HAS INTELLIGENCE!

                      THOUGHT CAN BE CONTROLLED AND DIRECTED TOWARD THE ATTAINMENT OF ANYTHING MAN MAY DESIRE. IN FACT THOUGHT IS THE ONLY THING OVER WHICH ANY PERSON HAS COMPLETE, UNCHALLEGED CONTROL. THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL IS SO COMPLETE THAT NO ONE MAY PENETRATE THE MINDOF ANOTHER WITHOUT HIS CONSENT, ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM OF PROTECTION OFTEN IS SO LOOSELY GUARDED THAT ONE'S MIND MAY BE ENTERED AT WILL BY ANY PERSON SKILLED IN THE ART OF THOUGHT INTERPRETATION.

                  MANY PEOPLE NOT ONLY LEAVE THEIR MINDS WIDE OPEN FOR OTHERS TO ENTER AND INTERPRET THEIR THOUGHTS, BUT THEY VOLUTARILY DISCLOSE THE NATURE OF THEIR THOUGHTS BY UNGUARDED EXPRESSIONS OF SPEECH AND THEIR PERSONAL CONDUCT, THEIR FACIAL EXPRESSION AND THE LIKE.

             HILL : IS IT SAFE FOR ONE TO LEAVE HIS MIND OPEN TO FREE ENTRY BY OTHERS?

            CARNEGIE : JUST ABOUT AS SAFE AS LEAVING, THE DOOR TO ONE'S HOUSE UNLOCKED, WITH ALL OF ONE'S VALUABLES LEFT INSIDE THE HOUSE, EXCEPT THAT THE LOSS OF PURELY MATERIAL THINGS IS AS NOTHING COMPARED WITH THE LOSS ONE MAY SUFFER BY LEAVING HIS MIND OPEN TO ENTRY BY ANY STRAY TRAMP WHO MAY WISH TO GO IN AND TAKE POSSESION.

               YOU SEE, THE HABIT OF LEAVING ONE'S MIND OPEN AND  UNGUARDED NOT ONLY PERMITS OTHER PEOPLE TO ENTER AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ONE'S MOST PRIVATE THOUGHTS, BUT THIS HABIT PERMITS ALL SORTS OF TRAMP THOUGHTS, RELEASED FROM THE MINDS OF OTHERS, TO ENTER ONE'S MIND.

               HILL : YOU BELIEVE, THEN THE THOUGHTS OF PASS FROM ONE MIND TO ANOTHER, THOUGHT THE PRINCIPLE OF TELEPATHY?

              CARNEGIE : THE FACT HAS APPARENTLY NEEN ESTABLISHED BY MEN OF SCIENCE, BUT I HAVE EVIDENCE OF ITS EXISTENCE, FROM MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. YES, ONE'S MIND IS BEING CONSTANTLY BOMBARED WITH THE IMPULSES OF THOUGHT RELEASED FROM THE MINDS OF THERS - ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH WHOM WE COME INTO CLOSE CONTACT LEFT TO ASSOCIATE WITH OTHER WORKMAN, WILL PASS ON HIS NEGATIVE THOUGHTS TO EVERY PERSON WITHIN THE RANGE OF HIS INFLUENCE, ALTHOUGH, HE NEVER SPEAK A WORD OR MAKES SINGLE MOVE INDICATING HIS STATE OF MIND. I HAVE SEEN THIS VERY THING HAPPEN TO OFTEN THAT I COULD NOT BE MISTAKE ABOUT IT.

            AND THIS IS WHY YOU EMPHASIZE, SO STRONGLY, THE NECESSITY OF HARMONY BETWEEN MEN ASSOCIATED IN A MASTER MIND ALLIANCE?

            CARNEGIE : THAT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY I HAVE EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF HARMONY. THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIZED SO IT FUNCTIONS AS ONE UNIT OF POWER ONLY WHEN THERE IS PERFECT RAPPORT BETWEEN THE MINDS OF INDIVIDUALS.

             HILL : ONE OF THE IMPORTANT STEPS, IN ORGANIZED THOUGHT, SEE TO BE THAT OF THE MASTER MIND ALLIANCE, THROUGH WHICH MEN POOL THEIR MIND-POWER THEIR EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGFE, AND MOVE IN RESPONSE TO A COMMON MOTIVE. IS THIS THE RIGHT IDEA, MR. CARNEGIE?

            CARNEGIE : YOU HAVE STATED THE MATTER PERFECTLY. YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID THAT THE MASTER MIND ALLIANCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP ONE MAY TAKE IN CONNECTION WITH ORGANIZED THOUGHT, FOR THAT IS TRUE. BUT, ORGANIZED THOUGHT BEGINS WITH THE ORGANIZED OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S THINKING HABITS.

              TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE MEMBER OF A MASTER MIND ALLIANCE AN INDIVIDUALS MUST FIRST FROM DEFINITE, CONTROLLED HABITS OF THOUGHT! A GROUP OF MEN WORKING TOGETHER UNDER THE MASTER MIND PRINCIPLE, EACH OF WHOM HAS SO DISCIPLINED HIMSELF THAT HE CONTROLS HIS THOUGHT - HABITS, REPRESENTS ORGANIZED THOUGHT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE NEVER CAN BE FULL ASSURANCE OF HARMONY IN A MASTER MIND GROUP UNLESS EACH MEMEBER OF GROUP IS SO SELF-DISCPLINED THAT HE CAN CONTOL HIS OWN THOUGHTS.

THE SUMMER SEASON AT HIMALAYA'S

DREAMS WITH MONSOONS

 

                                       INTERESTING AND TRUSTED MANTRA'S  

 

                

                       ADI GANGA WAS FLOWING UNRUFFLED, IN THE PITCH DARK, HARDLY ANYTHING COULD BE SEEN. SATYAKAM WAITED UNDER A TREE ON THE BANK WHERE, FIVE DAYS BEFORE, KAPALAK HAD SOLVED HIS BAFFLED DESPAIR. HE WAS NOW MUCH AT EASE. SUDDENLY HE HEARD FOOTSTEPS. KAPALAK BROUGHT HIS LIPS NEAR SATYAKAM'S EAR AND QUIETLY WHISPERED. TONIGHT I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO ACHIEVE FEALESSNESS FROM THE TANTRIC POINT OF VIEW, AND ALSO TO COMMUNE WITH SPIRITS. IN A LITTLE WHILE, A WOMAN'S CORPSE WILL FLOAT BY, YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE WATERS SLOWLY, CATCH HOLD OF IT, AND BRING IT TOWARD THE BANK. I'LL HELP YOU PULL IT OUT.

                 BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S COMING,? ASKED SATYAKAM IN ALARM. HIS                          HEART BEAT FASTER AND HE BECAME FILLED WITH DREAD.

                 THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO DISCUSS ALL THIS. JUST GO ON DOING AS I TELL YOU, COMMANDED KAPALAK. SATYAKAM FELT HE WAS A HELPLESS INSTRUMENT.

                THE LEAVES OF THE TREES REMAINDED MOTIONLESS. TO SATYAKAM THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE SEEMED FRIGHTFULLY HUSHED. SUDDENLY KAPALAK ANNOUNCED, ONLY RARELY IN HIS LIFE HAD HE SUBMITTED TO FEAR. BUT THIS WAS TOO MUCH. INDEED, ALL  ALONG HE HAD BELIEVED HE WAS FEARLESS, SO WHEN KAPALAK TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD BE TAUGHT FEARLESSNESS THAT NIGHT, HE TOOK IT TOO LIGHTLY. BUT NOW HE COULD SEE THE MERIT IN KAPALAK'S UTTERANCE. HE HAD YET TO ENCOUNTER HIS SUBTLE EGO.

                 SATYAKAM HESITATED BRIEFLY BUT COULD NOT RESIST ENTERING THE WATER ON KAPALAK'S COMMAND. THE WATER WAS NOT DEEP. HE COULD WALK THROUGH IT, HIS FEET SINKING INTO THE MUDDY BOTTOM. THE JOB NOT PLEASANT, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS UNDER THE SPELL OF FEAR. NUMBLY, HE GRABBED THE FLOATING BODY AND BEGAN MOVING BACKWARD. THE STRENCH WAS SUFFOCATING. HE REACHED THE BANK QUICKLY, THEN KAPALAK BEN DOWN AND GRABBED THE LEGS OF THE CORPSE. WHILE STILL HOLDING ITS SHOULDERS, SATYAKAM CAME OUT OF THE WATER AND TOGETHER THEY PULLED THE BODY OUT.

                 BOTHE SAT DOWN QUIETLY NEAR THE BODY WHICH LAY ON THE BANK. PHYSICALLY SATYAKAM WAS NOT QUIETE EXHAUSED, BUT MENTALLY HE WAS DAZED. HE COULDN'T COMPREHEND ALL THIS. BEFORE LONG, KAPALAK BROKE THE SILENCE.

                  WE SHOULD NOW SHIFT THE BODY TO THE NEARBY GROVE AND START                              YOUR    TRAINING.

                                  

                         

                 CAUTIOUSLY, THEY GOT UP AND REMOVED THE CORSE AS KAPALAK DIRECTED. TO SATYAKAM'S SURPRISE, HE FOUND A DIM OIL LAMP BURNING IN THE DARK GROVE. NEARBY LAY OF BOWL OF GRAIN AND GLASS OF LIQUID. THE CORPSE LAY UPON FAIRLY LEVEL GROUND. THE BROWN-SKINNED BODY WAS DIFFICULT TO JUDGE IN AGE- MAYBE ABOUT THIRTY. DEATH HAD PROBABLY OCCURED EARLIER IN THE DAY. SATYAKAM STOOD HAD PROBABLY OCCURED EARLIER IN THE DAY. SATYAKAM STOOD LIKE A STONE WHILE KAPALAK ACTED AS IF THIS WAS HIS NORMAL BUSINESS, SHOWING NO FEAR, SO ASTONISHMENT, NO CLOUDS OF UNKNWOING AROUND HIM. HE HASTENED, NOW I'LL INITIATE YOU INTO THE FOLD OF KAPALAKS WITH AN APPROPRIATE MANTRA, WHICH RECALLS THE SPIRITS BACK INTO DEAD BODIES. BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE TO GER RID OF FEAR TOGETHER. IF YOU SUCCUMB TO FEAR ANY TIME DURING THE NIGHT, YOU MAY HARM YOURSELF.

                  KAPALAK PAUSED AND THEN RESUMED, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND SIT ON THE DEAD BODY IN A MEDIATIVE POSE. WHILE YOU'LL BE REPEATIN THE MANTRA INSIDE, AT ONE POINT, THE CORPSE WILL OPEN ITS MOUTH. HERE IS SOME GRAIN AND A GLASS OF WINE. WHEN THE MOUTH OPENS, PUT SOME OF THE GRAIN AND A LITTEL WINE INTO IT, AND THEN IT'LL CLOSE AGAIN.  AT TIMES, THE CORPSE MAY UTTER WORDS. REPLY OR QUESTION AS BEST YOU CAN, KAPALAK PAUSED AGAIN AND THEN CONTINUED. SATYAKAM, YOU'LL  ENCOUNTER SOME DREADFUL VOIES AND PERHAPS UGLY SIGHTS. BUT REMEMBER, DON'T FEAR, HOLD ON TO YOUR STRENGTH. REMIND YOURSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT YOU ARE UPHELD BY THE POWER THAT DWELLS WITHIN YOU. ANY SLIP MAY CAUSE YOU SOME DAMAGE. BUT IF YOU COME OUT SUCCESSFULLY, WHICH I DON'T DOUBT, YOU'LL BE QUIETE A DIFFERENT PERSON BY EARLY MORNING.

                      BY NOW, SATYAKAM FELT HALF DEAD. KAPALAK MOVED NEAR HIM. HE WAS AN EMBODIMENT OF COURAGE, HE VIBRATION HELPED SATYAKAM SOMEWHAT. SATYAKAM COULD SEE THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS A FACT AND NOT A DREAM. A SLIGHT BOLDNESS ENTERED HIM CONTAGIOUSLY. HE BEGAN TO UNDRESS HIMSELF. THEN KAPALAK WHISPERED THE INFALLIBLE MANTRA INTO HIS LEFT EAR THREE TIMES. THE MANTRA INFUSED AN ELECTIC CURRENT THROUGHOUT HIS BODY AND HE WAS NO LONGER FEARFUL, BUT ALIVE AND PREPARED TO DO WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. HE CAREFULLY ASSUMED A POSTURE ON THE DEAD BODY FACING TOWARD ITS HEAD. FOLDING HIS PALMS TOGETHER NEAR HIS CHEST, HE BOWED TO KAPALAK FROM A DISTANCE AND THEN LOWERED HIS HANDS, RESTING THEM ON HIS KNEES. KAPALAK CAME FORWARD AND TOUCHED THE POINT BETWEEN HIS EYEBROWS. AS SATYAKAM CLOSED HIS EYES, KAPALAK WALKED QUIETLY AWAY INTO THE DARKNESS.

                  HARDLY ONE PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER WHEN SATYAKAM FELT A SLIGHT MOVEMENT IN THE CORPSE. OPENING HIS EYES, HE SAW ITS MOUTH MOVE AS IF ASKING FOR SOMETHING. HE PUT SOME GRAIN AND WINE INTO IT. THEN THE MOUTH CLOSED AGAIN. MEANWHILE HE KEPT REPEATING THE MANTRA. THIS PROCESS CONTINUED UNTIL THE SECOND PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER.

                  ALL OF A SUDDEN SHARP SHRIEKS AND WILD TRIED TO BE UNMOVED AND CONTINUED REPEATING THE MANTRA. BUT THE HOWLING NOISES AND THREATENING CHALLENGES GREW TOO NIGHTMARISH FOR HIM. NO LONGER COULD HE KEEP HIS EYES CLOSED. FOR THE FIRST FEW MOMOENTS WHAT HE SAW CURDLED HIS BLOOD. VARIOUS UGLY AND FIERCE-LOOKING  CREATURES WERE READY TO ATTACK AND DEVOUR HIM, THEY LOOKED HIDEOUS AND DEMONIC. BUT SOON SATYAKAM HEARD KAPALAK SAYING, YOU ARE UPHELD BY THE POWER WHICH DWELLS WITHIN YOU.

                 INSTANTLY HIS FEAR SUBSIDED. WITH RENEWED COURAGE HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND CONTINUED THE MANTRA. THE DREADFUL VOICES AND HELLISH SIGHTS PERSISTED FOR SOME TIME, BUT NO LONGER DID THEY DISTURB HIM.  GRADUALLY THEY SUBSIDED, THEN SILENCED ALTOGETHER. NOW THE THIRD PHASE OF THE NIGHT WAS OVER.

                 QUIET REIGNED ONCE AGAIN. DEEP IN HIS MANTRA, SATYAKAM FELT THE NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON, CALM AND FREE. BUT AS BEFORE, SOMETHING CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION. FROM THE CORPSE CAME A THICK WAILING SOUND, AS IF IT WERE DREAMING SHE SOUNDED AS IF SHE WERE IN PAIN. HER BODY QUIVERED SLIGHTLY. SATYAKAM MAINTAINED HIS POSTURE.

                 THE AGONIZING SOUND BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. HE BURST OUT QUIETE INVOLUTARILY, WHO ARE YOU?

                 VERY FAINTLY AND IN A QUAVERIN VOICE IT SPOKE, RE...L..E...A...SE...M..EE....

                  THE VOICE WAS THICK AND HEAVY. FOR A MOMENT SATYAKAM BECAME ALARMED. BUT SOON HE GATHERED HIS CONSCIOUSNESS AND ASKED AGAIN, WHO ARE YOU?

                  YO...U..R MA..A..Y..A..., SPOKE THE SAME VOICE AND THEN HER WHOLE BODY BECAME DEAD AS BEFORE.

               

             SATYAKAM WAITED FOR SOME TIME TO SEE IF ANYTHING FURTHER WOULD HAPPEN. BUT THERE WAS NO MORE MOVEMENT. EVEN THE MOUTH SEEMED STILL. HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND AGAIN CONCENTRATED ON THE MANTRA. HIS WHOLE ATTITUDE BECAME THAT OF COMPASSION TOWARD THE SPIRIT - OF THE CORPSE AS WELL AS THE OTHER DEMONIC ONES HE HAD ENCOUNDED EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. AN UTTERLY PURIFY FILLED HIS HEART, THE SUBLIMITY OF WHICH HE HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. HIS HEART OPENED WIDE IN GRATITUDE TO THAT INDWELLING POWER WHICH HAD UPHELD HIM THOUGHOUT.

               THE LAST PHASE OF THE NIGHT PASSED PEACEFULLY. SATYAKAM FELT RELIEVED AND LOST IN DEEP ABSORPTION.

              THE MORNING SUN'S FIRST RAYS FELL UPON THE GROUND AS SATYAKAM ENTERED KAPALAK'S HUT. THE WORLD SEEMED QUIET DIFFERENT TO HIM. HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO EXISTED YESTERDAY. HARDLY A TRACE OF THE OLD SELF REMAINED. HE FELT TRANSPOSED TO A DIMENSION WHERE HE COULD SEE ONLY WITH HIS THIRD EYE. HE HAD NO PARTICULAR QUESTIONS FOR KAPALAK WHO ALSO SEEMED TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO HIM. THE MEMORY OF HIS MASTER IN HIMALAYA AROSE SPONTANEOUSLY AND HIS UNDERSTANDING OF HIM GREW LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE. FOR A WHILE HE WAS LOST IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.

            YOU ACCOMPLISHED NOT ONLY A GREAT TASK NIGHT BUT ALSO A BENEVOLENT ONE, SATYAKAM.

                                                                      👀👀👀👀👀

     

                  

GET AWAY FROM POVERTY

                                              THINK AND BECOME RICH

                           

                             ARE YOU DESTINED TO BE POOR? TO PARAPHRASE SHAKESPEARE, SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN WEALTHY, SOME ACHIEVE WEALTH, AND SOME HAVE WEALTH THRUST UPON THEM. THERE ARE SOME AMONG US WHO WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE WEALTHY PARENTS, WHO GAVE US ALL THAT MONEY COULD BUY - BUT MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR PARENT'S WEALTH THROUGH THEIR OWN BAD JUDGMENTS. THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAD WEALTH THRUST UPON THEM BY WINNING A LOTTERY OR SOMEO OTHER WINDFALL. HOWEVER, MOST OF US ARE NOT SO LUCKY. IN ORDER TO BECOME WEALTHY, WE HAVE TO ACHIEVE THROUGH OUR WON INTELLIGENCE, DILIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND COMMITMENT. NONE OF US ARE DESTINED TO BE POOR. WEALTH IS ALL AROUND US AND ALL WE NEED DO TO ACHIEVE IT IS TO SEEK AND FOLLOW THE ROAD THAT WILL LEAD US THERE.

                          THESE PROPONENTS OF THE NEW THOUGHT OR NEW CIVILIZATION PREACH A NEW IDEA OF LIFE THAT BRINGS OUT NEW METHODS AND MORE PERFECTED RESULTS. THEY BASE THEIR THINGKING ON THE CONCEPT THAT THE HUMAN SOUL IS LINKED WITH THE ATOMIC MIND OF UNIVERSAL SUBSTANCE, WHICH LINKS OUR LIVES WITH THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF SUPPLY AND WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE OVER WHICH LINE IT SHALL MANIFEST FOR US. TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, WE MUST WORK FOR IT, AND WITH THIS WORKING SUFFER THE THORNS AND HEARTACHES OF HUMANKIND. WE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS ONLY AS WE HAVE FOUND THE LAW AND WORKED OUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE LAW, WHICH GOD SEEMED TO HAVE WRITTEN IN RIDDLES IN THE PAST.

                       IN THE AGES GONE BY, WE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SAIL THE SEAS, OR TUNNEL THE EARTH, OR CONQUER THE AIR, NOR WAS THERE A BOTANIST LIKE LUTHER BURBANK TO TEACH THE CROSSING OF NATURALS, OR A MARCONI OR TESLA, TO SHOW US WE CAN LEARN TO USE THE UNVISIBLE AIRWAVES. AS SOON AS WE KNEW MORE, WE EXPRESSED MORE, AND TODAY ALL THESE THINGS ARE MADE PLAIN. IN THE LAW OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS THERE HAVE ARISEN PSYCHOLOGICAL BURBANKS AND MARCONIS, WHO ARE WORKING WITH UNSEEN NATURAL LAWS, BRINGING THE RACE MIND OUT INTO NEWFOUND EXPRESSIONS OF CONSCIOUS POWER.

              WE KNOW THAT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS ALWAYS UNITED WITH THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD, OR UNIVERSAL MIND, AND THAT ALL POSSESSION IN FORM COMES THROUGH RECOGNITION IN MIND.

               THE OLD CIVILISATION TAUGHT THAT ALL EXTERNAL CONDITIONS CAME AS THE RESULT OF EXTERNAL ACTION AND THAT POVERTY WAS THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WEALTH AND WAS THE RESULT OF THE RICH TAKING SUPPLY AWAY FROM THE POOR, IT SAW AN INDIVIDUALS LINE OF TRANSFERENCE BLOCKED BY THE GREED OF ANOTHER. THROUGH OLD-THOUGH CENTURIES THE HUMAN RACE BELIEVED THIS INVERSION OF THE TRUTH AND CREPT ON IN RESISTENCE, STRIFE AN CONDEMNATION, NEVER KNOWING WHERE TO PUT THE BLAME. FROM THIS FALSE PREMISE OF REASONING THERE CAME ALL THE TYRANNY AND BLOODSHED OF THE PAST. BUT TODAY A VEIL OF CONSCIOUSNESS HAS LIFTED, AND THE NEW THINKERS SEE LIFE IN ITS ENTIRELY AND NOT IN THE PART.

                ALL LIFE IS A SCHOOL AND EACH LIFE IS IN ITS OWN GRADE, POVERTY IS SIMPLY THE LESSON OF ONE GRADE, RICHES THE LESSON OF ANOTHER. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET TODAY WHO ARE POOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT EVOLVED TO WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO CONQUER SUPPLY.

               THE FIRST STEP IN THE GRADE FOR THE POVERTY STRICKEN IS TO LEARN TO CONQUER SUPPLY AND THIS CONQUER IS BROUGHT ABOUT NOT FROM WITHOUT BUT THROUGH THE SLOW PROCESS OF AWAKENING INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION. WHICH NEITHER THE RACE NOR THE INDIVIDUAL CAN OUTSTRIP.

                                            

              AS SOON AS THEY LEARNED THIS LESSON THEY PASS INTO THE NEXT GRADE WHERE THEY LEARN HOW TO USE WEALTH, AND THEIR PLACE IS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BY ANOTHER LEARNING THE OLD LESSON.

               THE NEW CIVILIZATION KNOWS THAT THERE ARE NOW, AND ALWAYS WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT POVERTY AS THEIR NATURAL PORTION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DOOMED TO THAT STATE BECAUSE THE TOOLS ARE THERE TO HELP THEM LIFE THEMSELVES FROM THIS STATE BY INCREASING DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING.

               THOSE WHO KNOW LIFE UNDERSTAND THIS FIRST CAUSE OF POVERTY. WHEN WE LOOK MORE DEEPLY WE SEE THAT UNTIL THE LAST PERSON OF THIS AND SIMILAR GROUPS HAS DIED OUT, THE POVERTY STRICKEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN OUR MIDST, BECAUSE DEEP IN THEIR MINDS AND SOULS THEY STILL LOOK UPON THEMSELVES AS BEGGARS.

              THE SECOND CAUSE OF POVERTY IS THE FALSE EDUCATION OF THE PAST, WHICH, INSTEAD OF HASTENING THE EVOLUTION OF HUMANKIND, HAS SERVED TO KEEP IT IN BONDAGE. MANY RELIGIOUS CONTAIN AS PART OF THEIR DOGMA THAT POVERTY IS AN INEVITABLE CONDITION FOR MOST PEOPLE. THEY PREACH, THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, SOME SECTS EVEN CLAIM THAT FOR MANY, POVERTY, IS PREDESTINED SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A WAY OF LIFE .

THINK AND BECOME RICH

 

                                             THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

                                    

                HOW SHALL WE AVOID THROWING OURSELVES INTO ALTRUISTIC WORK IF WE ARE SURROUNDED BY POVERTY, IGNORANCE, SUFFERING, AND EVERY APPEARANCE OF MISERY AS VERY MANY PEOPLE ARE? THOSE WHO LIVE WHERE THE WITHERED HAND OF WANT IS THRUST UPON THEM FROM EVERY SIDE APPEALINGLY FOR AID MUST FIND IT HARD TO REFRAIN FROM CONTINUOUS GIVING, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOCIAL AND OTHER IRREGULARIES AND INJUSTICES DONE TO THE WEAK, WHICH FIRE GENEROUS SOULS WITH AN ALMOST IRRESISTIBLE DESIRE TO SET THINGS RIGHT. WE WANT TO START A CRUSADE. WE FEEL THAT THE WRONGS WILL NEVER BE RIGHTED UNTIL WE GIVE OURSELVES WHOLLY TO THE TASK. IN ALL THIS WE MUST FALL BACK UPON THE POINT OF VIEW. WE MUT REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT A BAD WORLD BUT A GOOD WORLD IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING.

              BEYOND ALL DOUBT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO LIFE UPON THIS EARTH. THE TESTIMONY OF GEOLOGY TO THE FACT THAT THE GLOBE WAS ONCE A BALL OF BURNINGS GAS AND MOLTEN ROCK, CLOTHED ABOUT WITH BOILING VAPORS, IS INDISPUTABLE, THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. GEOLOGY TELLS US THAT LATER ON A CRUST FORMED, THE GLOBE COOLED AND HARDENED, THE VAPORS CONDENSED AND BECAME MIST OR FELL IN RAIN, THE COOLED SURFACE CRUMBLED INTO SOIL, MOISTURE ACCUMULATED, PONDS AND SEAS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND AT LAST SOMEWHERE IN THE WATER OR ON THE LAND APPEARED SOMETHING THAT WAS ALIVE.

               IT IS REASONABLE TO SUPPOSE THAT THIS FIRST LIFE WAS IN SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM, BUT BEHIND THESE CELLS WAS THE INSISTENT URGE OF SPIRIT, THE GREAT ONE LIFE SEEKING EXPRESSION. AND SOON ORGANISMS HAVING TOO MUCH LIFE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WITH ONE CELL HAD TWO CELLS AND THEN MANY, AND STILL MORE LIFE WAS POURED INTO THEM. MULTIPLE - CELLS ORGANISMS WERE FORMED PLANTS, TREES, VERTEBRATES, AND MAMMALS, MANY OF THEM WITH STRAGE SHAPE BUT ALL WERE PERFECT AFTER THEIR KINDS AS EVERYTHING IS THAT GOD MAKES, NO DOUBT THERE WERE CRUDE AND ALMOST MONSTROUS FORMS OF BOTH ANIMAL AND PLANT LIFE, BUT EVERYTHING FILLED ITS PURPOSE IN ITS DAY AND IT WAS ALL VERY GOOD. THEN ANOTHER DAY CAME, THE GREAD DAY OF THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS- THE HUMAN BEING, THE OBJECT AIMED AT FROM THE BEGINNING, HAD APPEARED UPON THED SCENE - AN APE - LIKE BEING, LITTEL DIFFERENT FROM THE BEASTS IN APPEARANCE NUT INFINITELY DIFFERENT IN THE CAPACITY FOR GROWTH AND THOUGHT, ART AND BEAUTY, ARCHITECTURE ADN SONG, POETRY AND MUSIC, ALL THESE WERE UNREALIZED POSSIBILITIES IN THE HUMAN SOUL.

               FROM THE DAY THE FIRST HUMAN APPEARED GOD BEGAN TO PUT MORE AND MORE OF HIMSELF INTO EACH SUCCEEDING GENERATION, URGING THEM ON TO LARGER ACHIEVEMENTS AND TO BETTER CONDITION, SOCIAL, GOVERNMENT, AND DOMESTIC. THOSE LOOKING BACK INTO ANCIENT HISTORY SEE THE AWFUL CONDITIONS THAT EXISTED - BARBARITIES, IDOLATRIES, AND SUFFERINGS, READING ABOUT GOD IN CONNECTION WITH THESE THINGS, THEY MAY BE DISPOSED TO FEEL THAT HE WAS CRUEL AND UNJUST TO HUMANKIND. THEY SHOULD PAUSE TO THINK. FROM THE EARLIEST HUMAN CREATURE THE RACE HAS CONTINUED TO RISE. THIS COULD ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE SUCCESSIVE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE VARIOUS POWERS AND POSSIBILITIES LATENT IN THE HUMAN BRAIN. NATURALLY THE CRUDER AND MORE ANIMAL-LIKE PARTS OF HUMANKIND CAME TO ITS FULL DEVELOPMENT FIRST, FOR AGES PEOPL WERE BRUTAL, THEIR GOVERMENTS WERE BRUTAL, THEIR RELIGIONS WERE BRUTAL, THEIR DOMESTIC INSTITUTIONS WERE BRUTAL, AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SUFFERING RESULTED FROM THIS BRUTALITY. BUT GOD NEVER DELIGHTED IN SUFFERING, AND IN EVERY AGE. HE HAS GIVEN US A MESSAGE, TELLING US HOW TO AVOID IT. AND ALL THE WHILE THE URGE OF LIFE, INSISTENT, POWERFUL, COMPELLING, MADE RACE KEEP MOVING FORWARD LEADING TO A LITTLE LESS BRUTALITY IN EACH AGE AND A LITTLE MORE SPIRITUALLITY IN EACH AGE.

                    IN EVERY AGE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE IN ADVANCE OF THE MASS AND WHO HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD GOD BETTER THAN THEIR PEERS. UPON THESE THE INSPIRING HAND OF SPIRIT WAS LAID AND THEY WERE COMPLELLED TO BECOME INTERPRETERS. THERE WERE THE PROPHETS AND SEERS, SOMETIMES THE PRICES AND KINGS, AND OFTENER STILL THEY WERE MARTYRS DRIVER TO THE STAKE, THE BLOCK, OR THE CROSS. IT IS TO THESE WHO HAVE HEARD GOD, SPOKEN HIS WORD, AND DEMONSTRATED HIS TRUTH IN THEIR LIVES THAT ALL PROGRESS IS REALLY DUE.

                 IN CONCLUDING THIS VISION OF EVOLUTION WE MIGHT ASK WHY IT WAS ALL DONE, WHAT IS IT FOR? THIS QUESTION SHOULD BE EASY FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MIND TO ANSWER. GOD DESIRED TO EXPRESS HIMSELF, TO LIVE IN FORM, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT TO LIVE IN A FORM THROUGH WHICH HE COULD EXPRESS HIMSELF ON THE HIGHEST MORAL AND SPIRITUAL PLANE. GOD WANTED TO EVOLVE A FORM IN WHICH HE COULD LIVE AS A GOD AND MANIFEST HIMSELF AS A GOD. THIS WAS THE AIM OF THE EVOLUTIONARY FORCE. THE AGES OF WARFARE, BLOODSHED, SUFFERING, INJUSTICE, AND CRUELTY WERE TEMPERED IN MANY WAYS WITH LOVE AND JUSTICE AS TIME ADVANCED. AND THIS WAS DEVELOPING THE BRAIN OF HUMANKIND TO A POINT WHERE IT SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF GIVING FULL EXPRESSION TO THE LOVE AND JUSTICE OF GOD. THE END IS NOT YET. GOD AIMS NOT AT THE PERFECTION OF A FEW CHOICE SPECIMENS FOR EXHIBITION LIKE THE LARGE BERRIES AT THE TOP OF THE BOX, BUT AT THE GLORIFICATION OF THE ESTABLISHED ON EARTH, WHEN THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS ARE ALL PASSED AWAY, AND THERE SHALL BE NO NIGHT THERE.

AUTUMN IN HIMALAYA

                                              THE SPIRIT OF HIMALAYA

                  PEOPLE WERE ALL PRAISE FOR PURAN, WANTING TO LOVE AND FONDLE HIM, BUT AS SOON AS THEY APPROACHED HE WOULD  RUN AWAY. NEITHER PROUD NOR SHY, PURAN WAS TOO MATURE INSIDE TO NEED OUTSIDE CARE OR ATTENTION. A TRANSPARENT WISDOM SHONE IN HIS EYES. AS HE SAT CROSS-LEGGED WITH HIS MOTHER IN THE TEMPLE OR WITHHIS FATHER IN SATSANG, HIS BODY REDMAINDED AMAZINGLY MOTIONLESS. DEVOTEES OF MAHARAJ AND DEVIJI REVERED HIM AS A BORN YOGI. 

               ON THE OCCASION OF THE FESTIVAL OF SHARADA, PUJA, PEOPLE TURNED OUT IN GREAT NUMBERS. AS THE CENTRAL FIGURE, BHAIRAVI WORE A WHITE SILK SAREE WITH A WIDE BLOOD-RED BORDER. GOLDEN ORNAMENTS SPARKLED ABOUT HER NECK, ARMS AND HANDS, AND UPON HER BROAD FOREHEAD A LARGE RED POWDER MARK SANCTIFIED HER, MAKING HER FACE SHINE IN DIVINE BEAUTY. STANDING IN FRONT OF THE TEMPLE IMAGE TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY, BHAIRAVI APPEARED THAT DAY AS A MANIFESTATION OF THE INIVERSAL MOTHER. HER BACK WAS TO THE AUDIENCE. FACING HALFWAY BETWEEN THE DEITY AND THE AUDIENCE, SAT KAPALAK WHO HAD BEEN SPECIALLY INVITED TO HONOR THE OCCASION.

            AT AN APPOINTED MOMENT THE RITUAL COMMENTED WITH BHAIRAVI  SLOWLY PERFORMING WORSHIP IN A SYSTEMATIC AND RHYTHMIC WAY. THE DRUMBEATS AND RINGING TEMPLE BELLS JOINED WITH BHAIRAVI'S RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS, ENHANCING A HYPNOTIC SPELL THROUGHOUT. OCCASIONALLY THE SOUND OF THE CONCH SHELL WAS HEARD, AWAKENING THE SLEEPING SOULS. IN THE CHANGED ATMOSPHERE, ELEPHANT WITH DIVINE MOTHER'S VIBRATIONS, THE PEOPLE WERE ABSORBED IN THE AWESOME SCENE.

              GRADUALLY, BHAIRAVI'S BODY BEGAN WAVING SLIGHTLY, KEEPING TIME WITH THE RHYTHM OF THE WORSHIP WAS CLIMAXING IN A CRESCENDO OF ECSTASY, THE OIL LAMPS AND INCENSE FELL FROM HER HANDS AND SHE BECAME OBLIVIOUS TO EVERYTHING AROUND HER. THE LADIES, SECTION OF THE AUDIENCE SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGAN MAKING A SPECIAL INVOCATION AS THE FORCE OF DIVINE MOTHER DESCENDED INTO BHAIRAVI. THE MEN'S SIDE WAS REPEATING MA.... MA..... WITH JOYFUL TEARS IN THEIR EYES.

               BEFORE SHE COULD FALL, TWO LADIES CAUGHT HOLD OF HER AND GENTLY LAID HER DIVINE BODY ON THE FLOOR. HER BODY SEEMED LIFELESS, A SOFT BUNDLE OF FLESH AND BONES WITH EYES PARTIALLY CLOSED AND GAZE DRAWN INWARD. AN INDESCRIBABLE LUSTER SHONE ON HER FACE.

             NO TRACE OF RESTLESSNESS STIRRED THE PEOPLE. OCCASIONALLY SOME OF THEM AROSE TO BEHOLD HER, BUT OTHERWISE ALL WERE SERENE AND OBLIVIOUS TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE. THE BELLS, DRUMS AND CONCH SHELL CONTINUED THEIR RHYTHMIC SPELL IN TIME WITH THE LADIES, INVACATION.

           ALL DURING THIS, PURAN SAT SPELLBOUND, LOOKING QUIETLY AT HIS MOTHER. BUT NOW HE COULD NO LONGER HOLD HIMSELF. HE BEGAN TO CRY LOUNDLY. HIS FATHER, WHO HAD REMAINDED SOAKED IN THE DIVINE ATMOSPHERE, LIFTED PURAN INTO HIS LAP AND PRESSED HIM AGAINST HIS BOSOM. PURAN SOON GREW QUIET. KAPALAK TOO SEEMED IN HIGH ECSTASY.

           SOME TIME LATER, THE EYES OF BHAIRAVI SLOWLY BEGAN TO OPEN AND HER BODY SHOWED SIGNS OF LIFE. HER EYES MOVED, BUT THEY STILL DID NOT SEEM FOCUSED ON THIS WORLD. TORRENTS OF TEARS BEGAN FLOWING FROM HER UNUSUALLY LARGE AND REDDENED EYES. WHAT IMMENSE LOVE AND PURITY FILLED THEM!

            TAKING UP THE RITUAL MATERIAL, SOME LADIES BEGAN WAVING LIGHTS AND INCENSE IN FRONT OF BHAIRAVI. JUBILANCE ONCE AGAIN BOWING DOWN TO HER FROM WHATEVER THEY WERE SITTING. BHAIRAVI'S VERY APEARANCE WOULD MELT AWAY EVIL PROPENSITIES. THE HANDS OF THE DEVOTEES REMAINDED FOLDED IN ADORATION FOR A LONG TIME.

           WHEN PURAN REACHED HIS FOURTH YEAR, SATYAKAM BEGAN EDUCATING HIM. ON THE FIRST DAY BEFORE THE LESSONS COMMENDED, SAYYAKAM HELD A SMALL CEREMONY IN WORSHIP OF SARASWATI, THE GODDESS OF LEARNING, PURAN LOOKED LIKE A SMALL ANGEL, DRESSED IN A SIMPLE WHITE CLOTH, WITH A SACRED THREAD ROUND HIS BARE TORSO. HIS HEAD WAS SHAVEN COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR A HAIR TAIL ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. A SMALL MARK OF SANDALWOOD PASTE WAS ON HIS FOREHEAD AND HIS FEET WERE BARE. HIS FACE, NAY, HIS WHOLE BODY SHONE IN PURITY AND GLORY. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CEREMONY, WHEN HE BOWED DOWN BEFORE THE GODDESS, ONE COULD NOT HELP BUT HE SOBERED HIS DEVOTION.

                      SATYAKAM STARTED TEACHING HIM THE SANSKRIT ALPHABET,  SENTENCES AND SMALL RHYMES. HUNGRY FOR EDUCATION, PURAN WENT ON GULPING DOWN THE LESSONS QUICKLY. FOR ONE FULL YEAR, WITH UNABATED ENTHUSIASM, HE CONTINUED DIGESTING EVERYTHING HIS FATHER IMPARTED TO HIM. OCCASIONALLY HE HAD HIS FUN TOO, PLAYING AND RUNNING WITH OTHER BOYS IN THE VICNITY. UNDOUBTEDLY, HE STOOD OUT FAR BEYOND HIS COMPANIONS. PEOPLE WATCHED HIM WITH GREEDY EYES, FEASTING ON THE EXTRAORDINARY AURA AROUND HIM. UNLIKE OTHER CHILDREN, HE WAS NOT FOND OF TOYS, EXCEPT FOR A FLUTE THAT HE TRIED TO PLAY UPON.
