Dictation from Revered Master: “Before the start of creation certain conditions were present in the form of mere supposition, in the Ultimate Being (Zaat). At the beginning of Kshobh (original upsurge or imbalance or stirring desire) those conditions (in the form of mere supposition in the state of perfect motionless balance of Ultimate Being), received a mild jerk (plan came to view). On the side having greater push of the jerk, those (conditions) assumed the form of a thick current, or, you can say, the particles (quanta) therein, which are needed for running the process of the universe, were thick and strong. In other words, it can also be said that those powers, that I have just described, were there to stimulate various characters (bases of right conduct). Just these forces came to be designated as powers of discrimination (Viveka Shakti). In some of these (powers) there was a greater part of intelligence; in some others there was more material for boxing and wrestling; in still other ones there was the dark state of ignorance. When these currents came down, they started attracting such light particles (atoms) that a state little denser than sublimity came to occur. When sages studied this philosophy, they gave these (original currents) different names. All these have connection to the human body. Just now the references to (the stories of) Ganesh and Swamy Kartik (mythological sons of Lord Shiva and Parbati) are all imaginary constructions only. Just a story has been structured to establish the prestige of Ganesh. It is (in fact) that force which is connected to the anal plexus (Muladhara) (in the human body); and this main current reaches up to the brain. In Hatha Yoga, just this is the first (rung of the) ladder; and the last one in Raja Yoga. Though this point is very dirty, so to say, yet on its getting awakened (plan came to view), all these (other points or plexus) are opened and powers are created. Times kept on changing; darkness continued to prevail; solidity kept on increasing; and Reality got progressively more and more forgotten. There was search for the waves, without having any concern with the water. Intelligence continued being covered with more and more veils. In consequence, novel stories were (structured for) establishing one’s own prestige and capability, so that those who read these stories may have the proof of their creators’ flight of imagination. The result was that only stories remained; and the same started being worshipped in changed garbs. Reality lost its identity in the
