The Light Of God Almighty within (Gemini)

  
 
 

The Divine Light

After months of meditation it began to slowly dawn that what Kash was seeing could not possibly be the sun. But Kash kept on insisting that it had to be as nothing he had seen on Earth shone so bright. He just thought that he was seeing it from a much closer distance!

Uncertainty came into his father inquisitive mind. He had this peculiar habit of not believing anything unknown or speculative unless proven beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt. The sun that his son was seeing disturbed. Not only was it just above the Great Adi Shakti but it did not emit heat!

But the lingering question was why was it visible only at Her place and nowhere else in the Kingdom of the Almighty Creator? If it was indeed the sun then it had to be seen at all the dwellings of all the Immortal Messengers that Shri Mataji used to take Kash to.

On September 11, 1994, at 13:05 p.m., after reading the word Shaibhang (Self-illumined) at the opening stanza of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the consciousness of Self-Realization indicated that there was more to this Truth than met the mind. If Guru Nanak had described the Divine World of Reality to be Shaibhang, or Self-Illumined, then the 'very bright Sun' that Kash spoke about could not be true. If the Spirit of the Living God was the Ultimate Reality (Al-Haqqah) then this 'Sun' at Her Abode was an inferior object.

The Divine Light is unlike anything known to man

Moreover, Kash's extraordinary observation of this 'Sun' created more questions and doubts as he maintained that:

i) This 'Sun' is always behind Her at an angle but is not directly above, that is, at about 45 degrees.

ii) It did not rise and fall like the earthly sun. The 'Sun' above Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is fixed and stationary.

iii) This 'Sun' illuminates the entire Supreme Abode of the Great Celestial Mother. Every thing is seen very clearly and in fine detail, down to the different hues of skin tone. (That is why Kash was absolutely sure that Shri Jesus had a light brown skin, and wearing whitish gray clothes stretched taut by the sheer size of His muscular body.)

iv) Kash could not ascertain the exact size and distance of this 'Sun' despite his numerous visits.

v) In spite of its intense brightness this 'Sun' emitted no heat. On the contrary, Kash said that the rays are cool!

Then one day he astounded his father by claiming that there are no shadows from the rays of this 'Sun'! In all his journeys Kash never saw any shadow in the Kingdom of the Spirit. Though questioned many times he maintained that this Sun does not produce any shadow, physical properties that are ubiquitous in our universal sun. Kash was told by his father to clarify this issue with Shri Viswamata Nirmala Devi. There was something strange about this 'Sun' that Kash daily witnessed.

Kash meditated and the Divine Kundalini at the sacrum bone took him up the Tree of Life into the Bridal Chamber. He burst through the clouds and reached His Dominion. The Infinite Light shone ever so brilliantly from above the Eternal Throne of the Great Mater Divinae Gratiae (Mother of Divine Grace) as She sat in Bliss and Joy. Shri Lok Mata met him and the question was put forward. The Great Primordial Guru explained that it was not the sun that he was seeing but the Light. They then meditated, after which Kash returned back to this hate-filled world of Louis Farrakhans and Osama bin Ladins.

His Light exists within all human — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
His Light emits cool rays — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
His Light cast no shadows — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.
Spirit beings have no shadows — This Revealed Truth is Absolute.

This Revelation of the Light is the collective truth of the Holy Scriptures. This Light has been announced by all His Messengers. Since the dawn of civilization highly evolved souls have been searching relentlessly for this Light. This is the Light of Shri Krishna. This is the Light of Shri Jesus. This is the Light of Shri Buddha. This is the Light of Allah, of Yahweh, of Brahman or any other name that humans give to Him. God Almighty is Light!

These experiences of His Light are within. This is the Reality of the Microcosm and the Macrocosm. We all live within God and He lives within us as The Light.

Note: At around 9.20 p.m. on March 23, 2003 Kash's father took his eight-year-old sister Lalita into her room to sleep. He pulled out a mattress from beneath her bed and laid down. (Since she insists, or rather pleads that her father sleep in her room every night there is always a few minutes of conversation.)

While lying down she started counting the number of lights in her room - four light bulbs, one table-lamp, a florescent wristwatch and Shri Mataji's altar flame. Both confirmed that there were seven.

Then she said there were eight and that both had left out the Light above Shri Mataji in her Sahasrara. (Lalita continues to declare that the Light is always above Shri Mataji at all times.)

Her father asked her a few questions.

Father: "Is the Light warm or cool?”

Lalita: “Cool.”

Father: "Is it very bright like the sun?”

Lalita: “It is very bright but you can look at it.”

Father: "What color is the Light?”

Lalita: “Yellow.”

Father: "Yellow or bright like silver?”

Lalita: “Like bright yellow. But what you mean silver?”

Father: "Silver, like metal silver.”

Lalita: “I cannot imagine the color.”

Father: "What about metallic silver?”

Lalita: “But what you mean"metallic"? Tell me something which is metallic silver.”

Father: "Like the sun in the afternoon.” (This was a dumb response.)

Lalita: “That's not silver. I do not know what papa means.”

Father: "Like the color of the fork and spoon.”

Lalita: “That color?”

Father: "Is it that color?”

Lalita: “No.”

Father: "Then what color?”

Lalita: “Yellow.”

Father: "Thank you Lalita.”

Lalita: “You are welcome papa.”

The next day the father waited for his 13-year-old son Arwinder to come back from school to double-check with him. He returned at around 4.40 p.m. and his father told that he will ask just one question about Shri Mataji in his Sahasrara. Arwinder asked what was the question.

Father: "Arwinder, what color is Shri Mataji's Light?”

Arwinder: “Like white, white yellow.”

What is above Shri Mataji's head?

Supreme Secret of Divine Knowledge
Times of India

“A lot has been said and written by spiritual gurus and religiously inclined persons on how to attain the ultimate goal of self-realisation and holistic well-being. Despite advancement, both technological and economic, we are still groping to achieve peace, tranquility, universal brotherhood and tolerance.

The confused and wavering mind of Arjuna calmed down only after having gained divine knowledge from Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna called this divine knowledge the supreme secret of God. In the Bhagavad Gita, chapter 4, Sri Krishna tells Arjuna how divine knowledge was handed down from the dawn of creation. In the beginning of this universe, He taught the immortal karmayoga to Vivasvan. Vivasan in turn conveyed it to Manu and Manu imparted it to his son Iksvaku. Sri Krishna told Arjuna that only the wise seers and perfect masters who have known and seen God can impart this knowledge and not those who possess just scriptural knowledge. A sadguru who can make us see that divine light within us is an enlightened soul.

Mere bookish knowledge does not make one an enlightened soul. Kabir and Mira were not scholars. Even their worst critic would acknowledge that they were intiated into brahm gyan by their gurus namely Swami Ramanand and Sant Raidass. Since inception, the world has witnessed so many avatars and perfect masters. None of them advocated just recitation of mantras and chanting of hymns as a means of self-realisation. It is true that chanting of hymns in praise of God is a sure way of stabilizing the mind. The perfect master imparts the devotee with a methodology for knowing and seeing God. There is immediate and instant realisation of God within us when he places his holy palm on the fore-head. Brahm Gyan is energy transmitted by the perfect master on to the seeker of God....

When a seeker of truth receives brahm gyan, he or she instantly experience divine light within. Divine knowledge comprises instant and immediate practical experience of divine light, the holy name, inner music and holy nectar. God has been described as the divine light by holy scriptures like the Vedas, Shastras, the Upanishads and the puranas. As there is fire hidden in wood and it can be produced only through a technique, there is divine light hidden in every particle. A perfect master can show us that divine light within us. Our scriptures profusely emphasise that our bhakti starts only after we see and experience that divine light within us. The simran or smaran or remembrance of that eternal name which is already present in our inner-self can be done with neither tongue not with the lips. That holy name is inexpressible and hence beyond any language. The simran of this holy name makes us pure, take us on the path of true bhakti and salvation. Divine music or the anhad vani echoes in our inner-self and awakens feelings of forgiveness, morality, satisfaction, compassion and truth within us and through constant practice, we attain eternal peace and pleasure. Amrit or holy nectar is present in plenty in the human body. Amrit keeps the child alive in the womb of his mother. On taking birth, the child cries as he gets detached from God.

The role of the perfect master is to link us with the inner world which has been forgotten by us. Attainment of supreme knowledge is the right of every human being, whosoever he or she may be. It is only after we see divine light within our inner-self that self-transformation and holistic well-being shall become reality.”

The Self-Illumined Truth: Converging Accounts of the Divine Light in Spiritual Experience

Introduction

The concept of Divine Light is a pervasive and foundational metaphor across the world's major religious and spiritual traditions. From the "unapproachable light" of the Christian Bible to the "Light upon Light" of the Quran and the description of Brahman as "the light of lights" in the Upanishads, the ultimate reality is consistently associated with an unparalleled luminosity. This paper investigates detailed experiential data from three individuals—Kash, Arwinder, and Lalita—whose accounts describe a singular, constant Light associated with the spiritual presence of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The analysis seeks to understand why the Light described in their experiences possesses characteristics that lead the narrative to conclude: "This Revelation of the Light is the collective truth of the Holy Scriptures."

Phenomenology of the Divine Light

The experiences of Kash, Arwinder, and Lalita provide a highly consistent and detailed phenomenology of the Light, which defies conventional physical explanation. Kash, initially mistaking the phenomenon for a closer or brighter sun, was the primary subject whose extended observations and subsequent dialogue with the Divine Mother, as narrated, led to the critical realization that it was "not the sun... but the Light."

Distinctive Attributes

The key attributes of this Divine Light, consistently reported by the subjects, include:

1. Intense Brightness without Blindness: The Light is described as "much brighter than many suns" and "extremely bright," yet "it never ever hurt the eyes" and "you can look at it." Lalita further confirmed that "It doesn't blind me." This paradoxical quality of infinite luminosity that does not overwhelm the observer is a classic mystical description of the Divine presence, suggesting a non-physical mode of perception.
2. Fixed and Stationary Nature: Unlike the earthly sun, which "rise[s] and fall[s]," the Light is "fixed and stationary." Kash noted it was always positioned "behind Her at an angle," specifically above the Sahasrara (Crown Chakra) of Shri Mataji. This fixed position aligns with the spiritual concept of the Divine being the immovable, eternal source, localized at the apex of spiritual ascent—the Sahasrara.
3. Cool Emission: While terrestrial sources of intense light, like the sun, emit immense heat, Kash reported that the rays of this Light are cool. Lalita independently confirmed this, stating the Light is "Cool." This quality challenges the physical properties of light and heat, instead correlating with the soothing, blissful nature often associated with the Divine and the experience of Kundalini energy ascent.
4. Absence of Shadow: Kash's "astounding" observation that the Light "cast no shadows" was the ultimate disproof of its solar nature. This feature is directly tied to the metaphysical assertion that "Spirit beings have no shadows," implying that the Light emanates from a realm of pure Spirit, where the conditions of the physical universe (which produce shadows) do not apply.

The Scriptural Nexus: The Light as the Ultimate Reality

The collected experiences argue forcefully that this unique Light is the essence that "all scriptures proclaim." The key connection is established through the concept of Shaibhang.

Self-Illumination (Shaibhang)

The realization for Kash's father arrived after reading the word Shaibhang (Self-illumined) in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. A sun or star is a self-luminous object, but the term Shaibhang in the spiritual context denotes a reality that is Self-Existent and Self-Revealing, requiring no external source for its brilliance. The observations that the Light is stationary and casts no shadows, thus illuminating the "Supreme Abode" with clarity and detail, directly supports the idea of an innate, foundational light that is the very substrate of Reality. The text explicitly links this Light to the highest spiritual entities in multiple traditions:

"This is the Light of Shri Krishna. This is the Light of Shri Jesus. This is the Light of Shri Buddha. This is the Light of Allah, of Yahweh, of Brahman or any other name that humans give to Him. God Almighty is Light!"

The consistency in the accounts of Kash, Arwinder (who saw "white, white yellow"), and Lalita (who saw "bright yellow") across different ages and times (1994 to 2004) underscores the objective reality of the Light within their subjective spiritual experience. Their unanimous descriptions of its non-blinding intensity, fixed nature, and coolness are not random subjective details but the reproducible, shared qualities of a transcendental phenomenon.

Conclusion

The experiences of Kash, Arwinder, and Lalita collectively provide a contemporary experiential template for understanding the scriptural declaration that "God Almighty is Light." The Light they describe is not merely a symbol or a visual metaphor; it is an encountered reality defined by attributes—non-blinding intensity, stillness, coolness, and lack of shadow—that fundamentally distinguish it from the physical universe. These unique characteristics serve to define it as the Self-Illumined Truth (Shaibhang), which resides both in the Macrocosm (above the Divine Mother, the Adi Shakti) and as the Divine Spirit within the Microcosm (the Sahasrara of all humans). The accounts thus validate the core theological proposition that the light sought by highly evolved souls "since the dawn of civilization" is the singular, eternal, and non-physical presence of the Divine itself.

Further Research

Further comparative theological and neurological studies could explore the convergence between the reported attributes of the Divine Light and descriptions of profound mystical experiences across various faith traditions to explore the universal mechanisms and significance of this Self-Illumined Truth.
