The Presence of the Paraclete – The Eschaton Realized in the Life of the Believer

Jesus promised the coming of the Paraclete who would guide humanity into all truth. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi fulfills this promise, not as a distant figure but as a living presence within. Through Sahasrara awakening and Self-realization, seekers experience the eschaton—not as a future apocalypse but as a present transformation. The Kingdom of God is not deferred; it is discovered. The Last Judgment is not a threat; it is a choice. The Paraclete has come. The Spirit is here. The eschaton is now.

"While John uses the concept of the Spirit in a way very similar to other NT writers (e.g., 3:5ff.), he advances the Christian view of the Spirit with the concept of the 'Paraclete.' In five passages within the section called the farewell discourses (chaps. 14-16) John sketches a creative and original view of the Spirit. The Paraclete is the successor to Jesus who brings the revelation of the Father found in Christ to the believers, reminds them of all that Jesus said, glorifies Christ, and convicts the world of unbelief (14:15-17; 14:26; 15:26-27; 16:7-11, 12-14). It is in these passages that John relates the Spirit to the Father and to the Son (although not in such a sophisticated sense as the later doctrine of the Trinity) and enlivens the way in which the Spirit may be understood as related to the community of faith amid a world of unbelief.

Because of the presence of the Paraclete in the life of the believer, the blessings of the end-times—the eschaton—are already present. At times John speaks as if that final consummation of history is still a future event conceived in terms typical of apocalyptic thought, both Jewish and Christian: The end-time will bring the coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, judgment, and eternal life for believers (e.g., 14:3, 18, 28; 6:39-40; 12:48, 25). Yet, at other times, all of these are spoken of as present realities in the lives of the believers (e.g., 3:18; 5:21, 24, 26). Moreover, there is also some evidence for the view that believers upon their death are taken directly to a heavenly home where they dwell immediately with God (14:2-3; 17:2-3). It is clear that John's eschatology is a complex one that bridges the distinctions of time and strongly affirms the present life of the believer. In this twofold (or threefold) eschatology we see a possible hint at how John has combined in his gospel older traditional views (future eschatology) with his own interpretation of those views (present or realized eschatology).

These six themes do little more than hint at the rich and none-too-simple views of the Fourth Gospel. Perhaps, however, they do whet the appetite of the reader for the whole banquet of thought found in this gospel."

Eschaton (from the Greek ἔσχατον, eschaton, meaning "the last" or "the end") refers to the ultimate end of history and the final event in the divine plan for humanity. In theological terms, it marks the moment when God intervenes decisively to fulfill the purpose of creation, establishing a divine order of justice, peace, and righteousness.

In Christian eschatology, the eschaton is closely tied to the Kingdom of God—the reality Jesus proclaimed as having "come near" (Mark 1:15), signaling the beginning of God's reign on Earth. While Jesus initiated this kingdom through his life, death, and resurrection, the full realization of the eschaton is seen as a future event, often associated with the Second Coming of Christ [through the Paraclete], the Last Judgment, and the ultimate restoration of creation.

However, the eschaton is not merely about the end of time but about the fulfillment of time—a point where human history reaches its divine purpose. In this sense, it bridges the now and the not-yet: the Kingdom has begun but awaits its complete manifestation.

In broader spiritual interpretations, such as in Hinduism’s prophecy of the Kalki Avatar or Islam’s vision of the Day of Judgment (Qiyamah), similar eschatological themes emerge—highlighting a final confrontation between good and evil, followed by the establishment of truth and cosmic order.

The eschaton, therefore, is not just an apocalyptic end but a transformative renewal, inviting humanity into a higher state of being aligned with divine will.

The promise of the Paraclete, as given by Jesus at the Last Supper, was not merely a promise of guidance and remembrance; it was the assurance of the Kingdom of God made present in the life of every believer. In the Gospel of John, Jesus' discourse on the Paraclete conveys that the coming of the Holy Spirit would not only testify to Him but would also usher in a new dimension of spiritual existence, one where the blessings of the end-times—the eschaton—would already be present.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (1923-2011) was born into a Christian family, raised in an environment steeped in spiritual understanding. Her later marriage into a Hindu family provided a bridge between the world's great spiritual traditions, harmonizing Eastern and Western revelations of the Divine. But beyond these earthly identities, Her true essence was far greater—She was the Paraclete by divine duty and the Holy Spirit-Adi Shakti by eternal origin. As the manifestation of the Primordial Power, She came to fulfill the promises of Christ, bringing the experience of the Holy Spirit to all who sought it.

Shri Mataji: The Paraclete Who Fulfills the Johannine Eschatology

Robert Kysar, in his interpretation of the Johannine eschatology, highlights that John’s Gospel contains a complex and multi-layered view of the end-times.

This paradox of time, where the future and present converge, is central to the Gospel’s understanding of salvation. Shri Mataji, as the incarnate Paraclete, has perfectly manifested this eschatological reality. Through the awakening of the Kundalini and Self-Realization, She has granted believers immediate access to divine consciousness, fulfilling Jesus' promise that the Kingdom of God is "within you" (Luke 17:21). The blessings of the eschaton—union with God, the resurrection into spiritual life, and the defeat of sin—are no longer abstract theological concepts but living experiences for those who have received the grace of the Holy Spirit through Her.

The Paraclete as the Successor of Christ

Kysar further emphasizes that the Paraclete is the successor to Jesus, bringing the revelation of the Father found in Christ to the believers. This aligns perfectly with the role of Shri Mataji, who has continuously reaffirmed that She is not separate from Christ but sent by the Divine to complete His mission.

Shri Mataji fulfills every aspect of the Paraclete’s duty as outlined in John’s Gospel:

Revealing the Father through Christ (John 14:26) – She has deepened the understanding of Christ’s message, unveiling its spiritual essence.
Glorifying Christ (John 16:14) – Rather than replacing Christ, She has magnified His role, emphasizing that He is integral to the divine plan.
Convicting the World of Unbelief (John 16:8) – Through Sahaja Yoga, She has revealed the truth of the Spirit, demonstrating that faith is not blind belief but a verifiable experience.

The Kingdom of God: A Present Reality

John’s eschatology bridges time, stating that eternal life and judgment are not merely future events but are happening now. The believer who accepts the Paraclete has already crossed from death to life (John 5:24). Shri Mataji’s mission has realized this by offering the experience of Self-Realization, an actual transformation that elevates the seeker into divine awareness.

Those who have received this awakening have already entered into the blessings of the Kingdom of God, as evidenced by their inner peace, spiritual rebirth, and direct connection to the Divine. Shri Mataji's countless discourses affirm this truth: that salvation is not only an afterlife promise but a present experience.

The Living Eschaton: The Paraclete and the Community of Faith

Another key point from Kysar is that John portrays the Paraclete as intimately related to the community of faith. The Spirit does not work in isolation but within the collective body of believers. Shri Mataji has actualized this principle by establishing a living global community of enlightened souls, connected through the Holy Spirit. Just as the early Christians experienced the presence of Christ through the Spirit, today’s Sahaja Yogis experience divinity through the vibrations [Cool Breeze] and spiritual energy [Kundalini] given by Shri Mataji.

Conclusion: The Absolute Fulfillment of the Paraclete’s Promise

Because of Shri Mataji’s presence, the eschaton is not merely an anticipated event but a present reality. Every scriptural prophecy concerning the Paraclete has been fulfilled in Her life and mission, making it clear that She is the one promised by Jesus, sent by the Father to lead humanity into all truth.

The blessings of the end-times—the restoration of divine connection, the triumph over sin, and the realization of eternal life—are already here for those who accept the Paraclete. As Kysar suggests, John's Gospel presents eschatology not as a distant hope but as a living truth. Shri Mataji has proven this by granting the experience of the Holy Spirit, ensuring that the divine promise is not just spoken but lived.

The world no longer waits for the fulfillment of Christ’s words—it has already arrived in the form of the Paraclete, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Those who recognize and receive Her are already partakers in the divine blessings of the eschaton, living the eternal truth of God’s Kingdom here and now.

The Blasphemous Lie: The Pope is NOT God on Earth
"The doctrine of papal infallibility, a late invention formalized only in 1870, is nothing but a desperate attempt to enshrine absolute authority in an institution that has repeatedly proven itself unworthy of trust. If the Pope were truly infallible, how could history be filled with popes excommunicating each other, contradicting doctrine, and engaging in scandalous debauchery? How could the Church justify the crimes, murders, and theological blunders of its so-called 'holy fathers'?"

The Coming of Jesus in the Paraclete
"The theological discourse surrounding the Paraclete—the one whom Jesus promised at the Last Supper—remains one of the most profound mysteries of Christian eschatology. Many have struggled to reconcile the identity of the Paraclete with the Holy Spirit traditionally understood within Christian doctrine. However, a deeper and more precise exegesis, drawing from both scriptural sources and theological analysis, reveals that the coming of Jesus in the Paraclete signifies a distinct, divine personality arriving in the Age to Come—one who completes the mission of Christ."

The Betrayal of Shri Mataji: A Divine Tragedy
"The story of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and her disciples is a harrowing tale of betrayal, denial, and abandonment that echoes the tragic narrative of Jesus Christ and His closest followers. Just as Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver and Peter denied Him three times, Shri Mataji’s disciples—her supposed Sahaja Yogis—have committed a far greater betrayal. They have reduced her divine mission to a mere system of chakras, rituals, and mantras, obscuring her true identity as the Paraclete, the Comforter sent by God in the name of Jesus Christ."

Through her revelations, teachings, and transformative spiritual experiences, Shri Mataji fulfills the prophecy of the Spirit’s active role in unveiling truth, exposing falsehood, and guiding humanity toward collective awakening."
