MY LIGHT | Vol 4: Issue 5
The month of Gemini carries the impact of the twins. The Cosmic
Male and Female principles are the twins from whom the Creation
manifests. It is for this reason spiritual astrology says that Gemini is the
beginning of and the basis for the Creation. The one Absolute God
who is beyond comprehension when manifests, the male and female
principles emerge at the same time. That is the reason why they are
called twins. Such was the original understanding by the Vedic Hindus
who depict Artha Nari, half male and half female God. Such was also
the understanding of the Greeks, who uphold the symbol of Adonai
and also that of the Hebrews who speak of the male-female God. The
female descending from the rib of the male does not fit-in from this
standpoint.
The male-female are equals. Together they constitute God in
Creation. When male domination prevails over humanity, God is
referred to as H E. God is H E and SHE as well. One does not exist
without the other. The state of Gemini is the most sublime state of
Yoga. In that state matter and spirit are in absolute agreement; male
and female energies are in total balance.
Only for minds understanding it divides the male from female.
But in truth they are indivisible ones. In man there is woman and in

Lord Krishna
- Gita Upanishad Action - Inaction
There is action in inaction. There is inaction in action. Even the knowers
are confused by this. They get illusioned and thereby conditioned. There
are adepts who do not seem to be doing; yet they do a lot. There are
adepts who seem to be doing and yet they do not do. The former are
called Dhyanis (Dhyana yogis). The latter are called Karma yogis. The
former are in deep contemplation of the truth. The Will generated
from such contemplation works in global spheres. In recent times
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Ramana Maharshi, Master CVV and Shirdi
Sai Baba are but a few examples of this category. They stayed in remote
corners of the globe for life and yet activated the humanity. They are
seemingly inactive but are active all over the globe. There is the other
category like Vivekananda, Satya Sai Baba and Master EK who are in
action and yet they did not act. They allowed Divine action to happen
through them. They were sitting comfortably in the heart lotus at the
Divine feet of the Lord.
The apparent doers are non-doers. The apparent non-doers are
the doers. An occult student needs to gain this dimension. The atom
is apparently in inertia. But inside the atom there is tremendous action.
Man as a doer and man as a being needs to be experienced. If he learns
to Be, he gets the ease to Do. If he learns only to Do, it leads to more
and more doing. To Be and to Do is Yoga. To Do seated in the being
is also Yoga. Such ones are not conditioned. Lord Krishna gives this
key to Arjuna and asks him to Be, so that the fight for Law will happen
through him.

Lord Maitreya
Master Morya
- Maruvu Maharshi Half-Heartedness
Half-heartedness is dangerous. The faith and the belief today are suffering
from this symptom. Half-cooked food cannot be eaten. Half way through
the forest you are in the hands of ferocious animals. Half way through sea
travel sinks you to the bottom of the ocean.
Changing decisions half way through, leads man to the dead-end.
One should know that the decision one makes is a commitment. This
commitment is totally lacking for want of patience in many of the aspirants.
They are neither useful to themselves nor to others. They are neither in this
world or the other. They remain useless day dreamers who confuse others
with their half knowledge.
In ancient times, people demonstrated commitment even if it was
fatal to them. Commitment was seen more valuable than life. Changing
sides and changing values according to convenience is a cheap way of living,
which is considered as the principle of expediency. It is application of a right
principle in a wrong context.
Changing spouses after giving commitment has become normal in
the human society. It is fashion too. What is the guarantee that such persons
also do not change their ideologies and even their teachers?The teachers are
the committed ones. People have to learn the quality of commitment and
get out of the sickness of jettisoning the commitment for convenience. Look
into yourself, to your commitment and stand by it. I look for this quality in
you.

Sistas
Those who worship the Divine, follow the Law and serve the saints
are protected. Protection does not mean that such ones do not face
conflicts and crises. They too experience conflicts and crises but they
will not get destroyed. In such crises they are insulated from such
destruction while others normally get destroyed. They are saved like
the good seeds that a farmer saves for the next cycle. All other seeds are
ignored. They are called Sistas, the good ones. The good seeds amidst
Atlanteans thus formed the nucleus for the Aryans. It is from these
seeds, roots emerged once again.
The new groups of world servers are expected to be the good
seeds for the future cycles. The responsibility for every group member
is to constitute oneself as a good seed for the future cycle.

much as you offer to the sky, so much the sky enters into you. Give
away what you hold, to fill in the blue sky.
If you can do that, unlimited energy of love and light showers
into you. The shower is not as feeble as the bath-shower. It shall be a
waterfall.
Energy splashes you and the body sways. The body drinks and
soaks in the energy and sways (as if you were a bit drunk). Get into it.
Let the swing of the sway fill you. Allow it to fill you.
Try this technique of meditation. I wish you good luck.

Sri Ramakrishna
Perfect Soul
A great raft of timber, floating down a stream, can carry a hundred men
on it, and still it does not sink, but a floating reed may sink with the
weight of a crow. So when a Saviour becomes incarnate, innumerable
are the men who find salvation by taking refuge in him.
A perfected soul, Siddha-purusha, is like an archaeologist who
discovers an ancient well covered with the soil and accumulation of
ages. The Incarnation or Avatara, on the other hand, is like a great
engineer who digs a new well in a place where there was none before.
Great men can lead to salvation only those who had already the springs
of piety and goodness in themselves, but the Saviour saves him also
whose heart is as dry as the desert and who is devoid of all love.

Oh! Lord of Fire! From you, the Wisdom of the Vedas is born. You
make the Goddess of Creation possess me, the Goddess who is an expression
of the Golden Yellow hue and who is herself an embodiment of the splendour
of Gold. She, who is adorned with jewels of Gold and Silver and who is of
the lunar nature may possess me as her own child.
Commentary:
In the first two hymns of the Suktam a prayer is made to the
Cosmic Fire. First, the hymn speaks of Jataveda. Jataveda means the
One from whom the Veda is born and it also means, the One who is
born out of the Veda. Who is Father and who is Son is a riddle. From
out of the existence, whom we call the Father, the Veda comes. From
MY LIGHT | Vol 4: Issue 5
19
out of the Veda, the Father comes again as the Son. That is why the
Son is considered as the repetition of the Father. The Son is no other
than the father represented. God is presented through the Son of God,
because H E cannot present himself for your perception. H E presents
himself through a Son of God.
The Cosmic Fire is said to be born out of the Veda and the Veda
itself is said to be born out of H IM. That is why H E is called in the Veda
as Agni. Agni means the foremost One. H E is the one without whom
nothing exists. If you take the number 1000000, how many zeros are
in it? It has 6 zeros. Suppose, from the 1000000, you remove the 1,
what is the value? There is only one number, which is important. If
that number 1 is removed, the rest is nothing! So, we are asking Agni,
the Most High, to bestow his light, the light of creation, upon us. We
pray.
Jataveda O Agni
Mamavaha bestow on us
Avaha You may please ensure that the light embraces me like a vampire,
i.e., even if I want to come out of it, I cannot. The word Avaha is such a
strong Invocation. You are asking the fire to bestow in such a manner that
it would never leave you. What are you asking for bestowing? It is
Hiranyavarnam! In each letter of the very word there is profound wisdom.
The normal understanding is gold. It is like asking the Fire God to give us
gold. The hymn also says: Please give us some cows and please give us
some horses. Few great scholars not knowing the etymological key of the
Veda went on commenting that these ancient Indians were all agrarians.
They were asking for cows, bulls, horses and they were materially inclined,
because they were asking for gold and silver. Just like we pray for bread,
they were praying for gold until Blavatsky came and blasted their
ignorance. From the hierarchical standpoint such scholars have done
great wrong to the Veda through ignorant interpretations.
20
Hiranya - Gold
Hiranya means gold in its superficial layer. It also means the
golden hue, which is the very basis of all material manifestation. Behind
your material body of flesh and blood, of bones and marrow there is the
golden body, which is called the subtle body, the etheric body. The goal
of every known Indian was to seek and work for the golden body to be
out of the menace of birth and death, to have continuity of consciousness
and to be in eternal joy of working with the grand plan. This is called
today in the wisdom books as The Third Initiation. In the book Autobiography of a Yogi, Master Yukteshwar explains to Yogananda
the world of golden hue which is immediately preceding the material
manifestation. This colour of golden hue very much relates to the
energy of Leo. The light of Leo is of golden hue. That is the reason why
the Hierarchy says that the future festival of humanity is Leo Full Moon.
Even some of the mountains, which we know as sacred, are resplendent
with golden hue-forms hidden within the rocks. In fact, all formations
hide the golden hue aspect. Some are more resplendent and hence,
they are called sacred. We are therefore recommended to meditate upon
the golden disc of the solar globe. This is what we do in the third prayer
of Ishavasya Upanishad. I recommend strongly to conduct the prayer
relating to Agni, regularly. In the first step there is the request to Agni
to destroy all our past Karma. Then in the second step we are asking for
withdrawal of excessive activity into objectivity, which would enable
us to experience the golden disc of the solar globe either in the heart
centre or in the brow centre. In the third step we are seeking the fire to
discover the disc of golden hue to experience the ultimate truth.
The prayer is made to the fire to bestow on us the perception and
the experience of Hiranyavarnam, the colour of the burning gold.
Burning gold is more resplendent than solidified gold.

Hymns on Agni
Commentary:
This is a prayer seeking protection of the Lord of Fire. The fire
within and the fire around harms not a person, who regularly worships
the Lord of Fire. Fire accidents do not happen. The inner fire is well
maintained and restitutes health. When appropriately related to the
prana the Lord of Fire enables arousing of Kundalini and enables
realisation of the solar and cosmic fire.

Occult Meditations
Commentary:
In a previous meditation, it is said that time is rotation. The
globe rotates. Symbolically, rotation is presented as a circle. As the
globe rotates around itself, sunrisesunset is experienced. From sunrise
to sunrise one rotation of globe is counted. The sunrise happens in the
east. The counting is therefore done from sunrise to sunrise as one day
(one rotation). In a circle, every point is the beginning as well as its
end. Starting from a point the circle moves and concludes at the same
point. The circle of time is said to be a serpent whose head and tail
emerge from the same point. Esoterically, it is said that the serpents
tail is black to itself. It means that in the time cycle, the beginning
contains the end and every end gives rise to a beginning. From head to
tail and tail to head, the serpent moves on as a wheel. It is a circular
movement.
Wheel is cut in the east to recognise the rotation. But each time,
the cut in the east is in the higher ring of the circle because the globe
rotates, creating an apparent upward (northern) movement of the
24
Sun for six months (from the 22nd of December to the 21st of June)
and an apparent downward movement of the Sun for another six
months.
When the Suns apparent movement is from south to north, the
serpent unwinds. When it moves from north to south, it winds. Thus,
the serpent creeps on from above downwards and from below
upwards in one year.
As this wheel of time rotates upwards and downwards, seasons
happen: such as summer, winter, rainy season, etc. It contributes for
the generation of life. The promotion of life and its deterioration
happen through the circular movement of time with its upward and
downward movements causing unwinding and winding.
Life is not before time. Time is not before life. They emerge
at the same time. When they emerge, the wheel is cut into a span,
which is measured. Before time and life, it is existence in which
consciousness remains in a static state. As there is the spur of
consciousness, it unfolds into life pulsation and it carries a span of
time. The unfoldment of the wheel is due to the spur. The spur is an
impulse from within.
Ponder over the above and read the meditation again to find
the understanding. To recapitulate, the rotation of time is like a
wheel. It is called the serpent of time. The wheel of time unwinds
and winds as per the northern and southern coursing of the Sun. Though
the wheel has no head and tail, in order to count the rotation it is cut
in the east, which means counting from sunrise to sunrise. The wheelcut
created beginning and ending, mentioned as head and tail.

The Doctrine of Ethics
The pest in cane sugar
destroys the sweetness.
The pest in the progeny
destroys the sweetness of life.
Dear Children,
Do you know that the male and female are but the twins of the
creation? Without the two there is no creation. They are the positive
and negative energies. Negative means, receptive. Positive means,
distributive. In each one of us there is the twin principle functioning.
We are receptive to certain things and distributive of certain things.
We receive knowledge and distribute it through our speech and action.
We receive thoughts and also transmit them through speech and thought.
We receive food and we expend the related energy. We receive air
through inhalation and release air through exhalation. All is received to
give. Receiving and giving are but two aspects of one life. Many people
believe more in receiving than in giving. Such ones suffer congestion.
To eliminate the congestion and constipation in life, one should be as
much giver as a receiver. If one only knows to receive and not to give
he tends to be negative. One who knows to give much more than what
he receives tends to be a noble person. All great ones in human history
have been great givers.
The month of Gemini teaches us to learn the art of receiving and
giving and stay balanced. The Sun receives life and light from higher
circles and gives such life and light to the solar system. He gives as
much as he receives and therefore shines forth as the brilliant one in the
solar system. Learn the two aspects of life and understand they are but
inhalation and exhalation of one breath. You may grow with this
balanced understanding to be the best instruments of life.

Book Review
Lessons on Purusha Suktham.
Purusha Suktam is a hymn of the Rig Veda that is offered
to the Cosmic Person as a worship Sukta. The Veda
recognises a Cosmic Man who was prepared and fixed
(crucified ) in the Mahat by the Devas and the whole
universe is visualised in him. The Cosmic Person is
described as having four hands which represent the fourfold
creation. Later when creation progressed, human form
was also prepared in the image and likeness of the Cosmic Person.
Master E.K. regularly chanted Purusha Sukta for decades and imparted
the Sukta to his followers. He instructed his followers to regularly chant
Purusha Sukta on a daily basis.

A Good Word
The Emperor
The beggar in you dies when you gain the Light of Awareness,
Consciousness.
The fully conscious one is an Emperor. He is a giver not a beggar.
Many times he may appear like a beggar but he truly is the wealthiest
one. What he can give cannot be given by the wealthy.

applying their mind to the work and its results they should apply it to
the Omnipresence of the Lord while they work). Their knowledge is
pure as anything and they see what we call Vishnu and what we know
as T HAT .
One who allows his mind to work upon time (incidents) will live
only as a part of Hari (broken consciousness). To relieve from such a state
Hari makes him fall into sin (living with consciousness broken to pieces).
This creates the seed of Adharma (deviation from the path). This causes
darkness (ignorance) from which glamour is formed (glamour is the quality
which makes us feel some things and persons and ideas more valuable
and more correct than others). Then, Oh Maitreya, the created beings
get attachment, etc. (attachment or attraction, hatred, glamour and
covetousness, growing sick for want of something of some person.
Indifference and jealousy are the six traits that stand in the way of happiness
of the human beings. Hence they are called the six enemies). For people
who have become prey to such disturbances there will be no immediate
fulfilment of actions (When action is to be followed, there is automatic
fulfilment. When desire is to be followed, then there is complication.
Fulfilment is possible only to an action and not to a desire. By action
we get the results. By desiring we do not get any results. By following
action in a desired direction there is complication).
