Lecture - 10
In the previous talk we dealt with Master's explanation on the nature of man as a bipolar being, having one end in God and another end in the grossest level of man. We also tried to make out that the nature of man has taken its start from the Ultimate Force or primary Force that somehow was thrown out of God, which can be called, the Centre or the greatest potential, the Zero. By a series of jerks which are due to actions and reactions, man has developed firstly a causal body and then an astral body and finally physical body. There are, of course, in the creation and even before the causal body, a series of sheaths and coverings. But these things have all been produced by a series of jerks which means that certain kinds of mechanisms were developed by which the degradation of energy would take place and finally it became the inert matter we are now having as our body.
Now, the business of most of us would be to get back to that original condition and this is done only through meditation of the Centre from which we started. That is, in other words, in mediation we have the idea of the Ultimate or the original standpoint namely the Zero as potential. This idea of that original condition should permeate all our gross, subtle and more subtle activities. If this "ideation" is not there, there will be no possibility of getting the sustenance from the Original potential even for the continuation of the gross-body - not to speak of the subtle body It may be held, as some people have held, that our business is to destroy this whole structure of causal and astral and physical bodies and get back to the Source. But any physical attempt to do that will not take us to that condition. There is only one way towards establishing contact with the Original or getting back to the Original and that is by, firstly, an 'ideation' of what we want to become and secondly, try to make that idea constantly working in us so that these subtle and grosser bodies can be permeated with that idea. You may ask the question whether idea is merely a thought. It is not only a thought but a Force also. Further every thought is a force, but not what we call Force in the physical sense of the term. Every thought is a force and this Supreme Thought is the Higher Force that we can have. And this is in every man. Now this has to be awakened by meditation. Now, suppose you try to meditate, you find it very difficult. That is, you do not
