Transition into Satya Yuga

 

Those that are aware are living with great apprehension in their hearts. The world seems destined to go through hell. The only hope is an unprecedentedly ordered beneficial society at the other end that will incorporate all the lessons learnt till date and also provide bonuses.

Those desirous of liberation will seek it regardless of such promises for a golden cage is still a cage. Good times come but in the material plane deterioration is inevitable. In the world of duality pleasure and pain are twin sisters that alternate.

What prompts the world to move towards a crass society? It is the age old play of greed fuelled by the personal ego. Nature provides everything provided the natural laws (Dharma) are followed. When greed crosses the limit the laws are violated and the resultant scarcity pushes the ego to come to the front. Once the ego surfaces the selfish world comes into being culminating into the type of society we witness today.

That is the central theme of the Garden of Eden. Everything was provided for till the ego was subtly encouraged by the serpent.

In India the forested society enjoyed such joy. The only effort needed was to pluck the fruits. The people, free from encumbrances, devoted the time to serious spiritual practices. That resulted in the wealth of wisdom that is still available today. We read and benefit unmindful of the intense effort that went in to unravel the truth.

One thing that really shocked me as I met Chakradhar was his cool assertion that his followers were always a part of creation, destined to meet him once in every cycle as he took up the worldly form. I do not remember if I protested verbally but it was a shock for me as the amount of pain I have experienced in life made me yearn for liberation.

There are two things here. Liberation and the promise of uniting with the highest entity and enjoying his company. Chakradhar was like a slippery eel. He appeared to belong to each one of us, but he belonged to none. He even declared it in one of our sittings.

As I realized who he was, I used to be overawed in his presence sitting silently and contemplating over the fact that I was enjoying the highest bliss of the material world; the personal company of the MahaSambhuti; the absolute pinnacle of creation.

The next society is predicted to be extraordinary. Such a society has probably never existed on earth. How it will come about, emerging from the ravages of war and destruction is a mystery. But then creation in itself is a mystery. The dream world is shaped by the thought of Maha Vishnu. He himself was there on earth designing it.

Let us enter the dark night knowing that a bright dawn is waiting for us. Let us keep this thought within and nurture it. Nobody can prepare for what is coming. Only the love and grace of the divine can ensure survival.
