The Five Spiritual And Five Physical Elements (Part 2)
There are three entities around which the whole World Drama revolves – the Supreme
Soul, the human souls and nature. Nature includes everything non-living
like mountains, rivers, seas etc. and living things like plants, trees etc. It also
includes living beings like animals, birds, insects etc. which are souls with a
lesser evolved intellect than human ones. The human body also comes under the category
of nature. These three entities are in the form of a hierarchy, the Supreme Soul
is the most powerful at the top of the hierarchy, in the middle are the human souls
and at the bottom of the hierarchy is nature. The Supreme Soul always remains
an Ocean of the five virtues peace, purity, wisdom, love and joy and is the
only entity in which the balance of these virtues is always maintained right through
eternity.
In human souls, as explained yesterday, in the beginning of the world cycle, in
the Golden Age, these virtues are in balance. As human souls come down in the birth-rebirth
cycle and start becoming influenced by body-consciousness or the five vices - anger,
ego, greed, attachment and lust, all spiritual building blocks or virtues - peace,
purity, wisdom, love and joy start getting depleted. In each soul, some virtues
get depleted more, some less. In each and every soul the depletion is different
depending on its actions e.g. in some soul the depletion of peace is immense compared
to the other because of picking up sanskaras of anger on its journey and bringing
them into actions or in some soul the depletion of joy is immense because of picking
up a lot of attachment on the way etc. This depletion of the five spiritual elements
or virtues upsets the balance between them. This depletion and imbalance causes
negative spiritual energy waves or vibrations of sorrow, anger, impurity, hatred,
fear etc. from human souls to spread in nature and starts having a negative influence
on the five physical elements earth, air, water, fire and sky and even the five
spiritual elements peace, purity, wisdom, love and joy in the souls of animals,
birds, insects, etc. upsetting the balance of both. This is because nature
(as defined in the above paragraph) is lowest in the hierarchy, lesser powerful
and easily influenced by the energy that human souls transmit or radiate. This double
imbalance of spiritual and physical elements results in peacelessness, sorrow, illness,
poverty, natural calamities, accidents, ecological imbalances etc. When all of these
reach their maximum extent, that Age is called the Iron Age. This is an interesting
principle which needs to be understood clearly.
How do we restore the balance of the spiritual and physical elements? We shall explain
that in tomorrow's message.

Message for the day 28-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Introversion helps us to manage our thoughts better.
Expression: With introversion we can very easily manage our thoughts since
our mind will be free from waste and negative. Also when we are introverted, we
find that there is no need to think as much as we do, but the thoughts required
emerge effortlessly. Thus we are able to use our thoughts powerfully.
Experience: When we find ourselves having a lot of thoughts due to some situation,
we only need to sit in silence and practice going within ourselves instead of thinking
too much about the situation. We need to make an attempt to experience the peace
deep within ourselves and we will find ourselves getting calmer.
