Stages of Spiritual Progress

 

Introduction

--  There are no 10 stages. It can be 5 or 3 or 15.

--  First stage, next stage, final maturation is a full description.

--  The ten stages under each head are not rigid. They can move around.

--  The ten stages described each in a page, are based on experience or grades,

     not imagination.

--  Begin with methods, end with purity.

--  Flowers, dhyana etc. are not necessary as you go above.

--  Stages differ for different personalities, but the grades are true.

--  I do not discuss here those who are negative and those who misuse the power.

--  The diligence and humility that is there in the beginning may not be there. That is up to him.

=   What a ripe soul can receive from Mother:

     --  can experience a great siddhi that is proportionate to the receptivity.

     --  can gain prominence in the nation.

     --  can earn a lot of wealth.

     --  can gain full enlightenment.

   One needs to take the required effort for these things. That too has to be serious in nature. Even that can come midway through Grace. Man running away is the rule. One needs a positive outlook to recognise that the Mother is coming towards oneself with the intention of giving a receptivity that one does not have along with the attendant benefits. Then pettiness and bargaining tendency will leave.

   --  The first stage may come as the 10th stage or the 10th stage may come as the  first. It all depends on the person.

--  People with goodwill don't exist. If some good will exists, it may be present for   1%. Even that may be goodwill for oneself. Only when goodwill is there can one reach the 3rd or 4th stage. Those without good habits cannot even cross the 1st stage. Even for that, there are exceptions. All these gains will be in a flash, never lasting, but will come in response to deeper, greater endowments. Here I consider only general cases, not exceptions.

--  In the 1st stage itself, dangers will go away.  Life span will increase. Wealth  will double and things that don't usually happen will happen. What takes place in the 4th or 5th stage may take place once in a while even at the first stage. The results that come at the 4th stage will usually come for good, if they come at that stage.

--  One can worship all deities and do all poojas.  If the pooja is conducted perfectly one can see great results. Poojas have a limit. One can choose to stay with those poojas or give them up.

--  What can life give?

     Gods --- ?

     Mother -- ?

     Life gives an equal reward = as you take effort, so life gives. Gods give what you deserve by prayer. Mother tries to give what is maximum possible in your circumstances and you receive what your character and temperament permit which is the minimum. And that has a minimum of double and maximum of rising ten levels. Devotees find their levels in between.

--    In my experience, one or two men rose to all the 9 levels in one or two aspects temporarily, i.e. either for the occasion or for a period of 5 to 10 years. No one moved to the 2nd level permanently.

--   Man has several endowments, several weaknesses. Each endowment helps him rise for a short while. Each weakness ensures the fall from any level.

--   No good work done is ever lost.

--    Out of the 36 stories, 6 came back to express gratitude.

--   No question of moving to the next level permanently without shedding all present weaknesses.

      No industry with intransigent labour;

      No cultivation if you cannot prevent cattle trespass;

      No marriage if you stray from the path;

      No promotion if the cashier steals money.

--   Endowments that have helped rise and the level to which he rose.

      Ramapuram's industry and skill raised them to the 10th level in prosperity.

      Physical closeness precariously kept the child at all levels for a short while.

--    Defects that let down devotees:

--    Any endowment can raise one to any level.

      No endowment can do it permanently without the plane being free of defects.

--    Good news awaits at home after a visit to Ashram, dhyana, reading, prayer.

      Bad news awaits at home for those who worship hostile deities and have wanton ill will. (Those who accept defects willingly).

--    As you move up the scale, good becomes better and, if you move one or more levels in life, again it starts as good at that level and moves to be better at that level. Bad loses its edge and changes character into good and rises further.

--    We receive subconsciously from Mother. Subliminal receives more. It is the intensity of our receptivity, poise of our subconscious and subliminal, their opening, their organisation, the beliefs of the mind, the attitudes of the vital, the habits of the body that decides the result. If you need a particular result, learn to give that particular opening, in the required measure.

--    How to give a particular opening to create a particular result?

              Need money                -- examine your willingness to work

              Need friends               -- examine your attitudes

              Promotion                   -- examine how far you are willing to raise your talents

          Popularity                    -- Initially it depends on how far you deserve it, later how far you do not seek it.

              Husband doubts          -- purity of thoughts

              Disobedience in

              children                       -- Uncontrollable nature of yours

              Disease                        -- Faith in disease, medicine, doctor, lack of faith in Mother, unwillingness to give up disease creating gunam.

              Marriage                      -- your opinions, circumstances.

--    Dhyana, flower service, education, darshan, mantras etc. are not necessary. If thoughts, feelings and actions are pure on the inside and outside, then these accessories become like memorising after writing a book itself.

--    An experiment:  Take the most difficult thing in your circumstance which when accomplished will be a miracle. Don't ride fancies. Base yourself on real potentials i.e. another person in a similar position with a similar endowment should have achieved it in your experience, not in your information.

                          "If he can, why not I?"

      Then apply the principles of your deserving it in the subtle plane -- physical, vital, mental endowments -- remove the obstacles at every level. Then pray. You will achieve it. See at which level that achievement is. It means you can raise yourself to that level.

--    Include a scale of present status. (?)

--    What Mother offers is a parallel to the Society offering all professional courses, foreign education, IAS, all high posts in company, open to all, irrespective of age, experience, caste, creed etc. Added to it, She offers scholarship for you to equip yourself to qualify for it. House is offered to everyone now who disciplines himself. At another level, houses are given free.

              By simply, but truly, belonging to Mother you raise your present level so high, several levels high.

--    Life is one with a mixture of good and bad. For the successful, good is overwhelming so long as the mixture that is there is human life. A point is there which when crossed, the negative disappears. Beyond that, it is divine life. All the aspirants can shed the negative and cross the border in any one of the levels, either at number 1 or 10. The moment you cross the line, progress is swift.             

--    Grace, when explained away, never returns.

      Pettiness of mind puts a mercenary construction on really magnanimous actions. Change from the meanness to magnanimity you will receive abundantly. A bad situation is there really and your mean interpretation is right. Such a situation is there for several years. Take it and change your meanness to magnanimity and you will find the miracle of the REAL physical situation changing. E.g. a poor man joins the Ashram for food and lodging. We understand it accordingly and our social understanding is right. In that situation, if we refuse to be mean and try to know what in his soul brought him to the Ashram and succeed in that understanding, Life will give us the surprise that that man was not after all poor. Other circumstances will come to light.

--    Concentration is to separate the Force from consciousness and collect the consciousness from the surface into the depth. This way the collected consciousness becomes pure mind and is able to go to pure spirit.

      Consecration is to bring the divorced Force back to consciousness and collecting the united movement into the depth so that the entire process is kept intact. Force becoming aware of consciousness takes place at once which means one loses contact with the surface, i.e. becomes lost to the surface and the social world , not the world. That is why he is full.

      The devotee who accepts Mother feels an instantaneous fullness which comes from the fact that he is aware of the depth. This fullness increases as he moves along the 10 stages.

--    One thorough example of 10 stages, explaining both (positive & negative) aspects lingering till the end. Also explain how another half a dozen aspects change their intensities. Give minute nuances of character, behaviour, life events, others' responses and show the force of the spurt as well as the tenacious nature of habits persisting.

      Explain why it cannot be done for all items.

      ANGER

--    Explain enough for people to know in what stage they are at their height and at their worst.

--    Bad people sometimes continue to be bad, paying lip sympathy to change or being unaware of its need. Still, some good in their lives, either directly from them or from inheritance or  contributing factors, comes to the surface and through that, GOOD issues. This is an exception, not the rule. Grace is insistent in spite of man's folly. But such incidences are a one-time phenomenon.

--    Mother's Force acts in several ways at all 10 levels.

      1.  It energises generally all your formed faculties;

      2.  It activates all circumstances around you positively;

      3.  It makes faculties innovative, circumstances positive, man generous, events complementary to your circumstances and needs;

      4.  It makes men, matters, events receptive to Grace, open-minded to ideas, makes them generate positive attitudes towards you and in themselves, makes them give up habits that are obstacles, acquire skills and capacities that can benefit by Grace.

      5.  It brings in new persons to serve causes that are obstructed now, creates new laws to serve our old and new needs, new situations in people and environment so that they may serve Grace by receiving more.

      6.  New technological innovations that best suit your work arise.

      7.  New ideas that would serve the world occur in your mind or come to be of help to you.

      8.  Creates NEW types of organisation.

      9.  Spreads all over what you do.

      10.  Mother's Force is powerful, energetic, forceful, innovative, creative of skills, capacities, talents, energy, power, force, attitudes, opinions, understandings, work, events, organisation, institutions, laws, rules, events, circumstances at any level decided by your receptivity.

      11.  It is capable of mitigating all negative versions of these, neutralising them or even transforming them to positive ones.

      12.  Above all, it is capable of creating more of Mother's Consciousness in you.

      13.  Your understanding or opening at each level determines how it responds to you.

              Level of receptivity  --  response

                          skill

                          capacity

                          talent

                          energy

                          force

                          power

                          attitude

                          opinion

                          understanding

                          rule

                          law

                          procedure

                          friendship

                          relationship

                          employment

                          company

                          writing

                          singing

                          playing     

      Your present situation, position, poise determine what can come to you. Your willingness to receive determines what comes to you. Your unwillingness prevents other things from coming. Your grievance that something does not come issues out of your aspiration for something for which you are unwilling to create receptivity.

--  "I am good"   --  limits to our goodness.

      Goodness depends upon strength to be limitless goodness.

      For honesty, amount is the limit.

      For conduct, situation is the limit.

      For selfishness, pride and comforts are the limits.

      For magnanimity, prestige is the limit.

      We satisfy ourselves, saying everything has a limit. The limits imposed by situations or goodness are necessary. The limit that comes by our capacity to be good is unwelcome.

      Good qualities are not enough to do yoga.

      In order to attain the benefits of the 10 stages, it is enough we have good qualities that we have not set limits to. That is, one should not lie.

--    If things like dhyana suddenly rise in intensity, one may ascend from the first to the 5th or 6th stage. As a result of a great quality, one may permanently rise to a higher level. If one reaches a higher stage due to great efforts, the other benefits that go with that stage may automatically come.

         The progress attained as a result of our negative qualities may revert back to the original disturbed stage. We can rise higher due to any potential and make it permanent. Rising higher is one thing and making it permanent is another. When we are not disturbed, we can rise on the strength of one or more potentials. In order to rise permanently, negative traits should not be there.

What should one do to move to each level:

      1. Accept Mother as one who will solve all your problems with Faith and Devotion. (prayer for result)

      2.  Understand life, give up common beliefs, initiate into Mother's ways. (Mother is accepted)

      3.   Complete initiation to a great extent and accept Mother's beliefs.  (Complete stage No. 2 [= Mother is accepted] and get peace and silence of initial stages)

      4.   Ensure negatives of personality are never expressed. (Knowledge of His writings or their essence, peace and silence permanently of their initial intensities)

      5.   Work out Mother's beliefs in terms of your positive traits strongly. (Practise whatever you can for greater consecration, Peace and Silence)

      6.   Complete past consecration, eliminate negatives from mind.

      7.   Study social opportunities and decide to fully exploit them.

      8.   Study psychological opportunities and fully exploit them. (Ideal householder whose selflessness is limited to the family)

      9.   Fix your goal of progress and within its limits work out the above for expression. (Ideal householder fit for yoga but does not begin it)

      10.   Complete No. 9 inwardly.  (begin yoga)

SPECIAL WITH MOTHER

--    For an upper class boy, a big job comes even for a lesser education.

--    The lucky man gets what nobody gets.

--    The influential man enjoys.

--    After coming to Mother, luck, influence and high social level have come.

--    Labour gets its compensation.

--    A good quality will fetch a good reputation.

--    If you behave properly, you can preserve what is there

--    Even if all merits are there, you may get nothing or only a little.

--    SHE gives at a higher level for a lower effort.

--    You can get anything with HER if you qualify.

--    At what level you get depends upon the level of your effort.

--    The next stage, if it comes by one's own endeavour, will be the minimum of that stage, but will last. If it comes by Grace, it will be the maximum, but one has to possess it permanently by his endeavour.

--    There are people who go to the next stage negatively. They too can rise to the 10th stage but it can only be negative. Growth is made possible. It is up to you to be positive or negative.

Levels of people who turn into devotees

      Those who lie, are crafty and those who take loans.

      We talk only of devotees with positive qualities ---

              who come once for a prayer and when it is over, they become quiet;

              who get all the problems solved and remain there;

              who see the value of Mother and do not say, "We have not come for

              Mother but only for material prosperity" and who do say, " Mother is

              of value in life and hereafter She is part of my life."

--    Analogy of human value according to money or education:

      Education, parentage, capacity, wealth, power, urbanisation, travel, are all related to character not in exact direct proportion. So also the levels of human worth cannot be exactly divided. It is certainly possible by an occult, subtle knowledge, not in our social understanding. First of all, there must be a scale against which man must be measured.

--    Chinks in character remain at all levels and can undo man at any position or height. IAS officer dismissed for stealing, for wrong conduct.

      A very rich man loses through race and gambling.

      Arjuna refusing Urvashi; Alexander resigning post of secretary; student refusing teacher's help to copy; sadhak denying a millionaire's inheritance.

--    Exceptions here are exceptions in life. This article does not reflect their positions.

      Uneducated son of a principal, family of Rs 10,000 income not able to build a house, one who loses sight by cataract, company executive suffering debt loads (highly paid person), an auditor without income, unmarried rich boy or girl, landowner's family with no rice to eat, a losing petrol bunk,

              =  the unending problems of Mother's devotees.

CONCLUSION

--    Mother offers what is not on earth or life.

--    Anyone with any endowment can benefit accordingly.

--    Anyone with defects can benefit if he wants to shed them.

--    Any defect when it is emphasised will push you down from any level.

--    Any one endowment can raise you to any level for a time.

--    Permanent movement to the next level requires freedom from defects.

--    Men with endowments who are not rewarded by life so far, will be instantaneously rewarded.

--    "This is for all.  This is not for all."

      All those who want to progress working for it as in the society. Not for  those who want to get something for nothing.

--    While life gives the minimum in your plane, Mother gives the maximum in the next plane.

      Integrity, efficiency in Taluq office or school will help you escape punishment and be popular in your area  --  Life.

      Mother makes you a gazetted officer and confers IAS too. She makes the teacher Vice-President of the World Federation of Teachers.

--    Accept Mother on your own experience, not because others tell you. Rely on your experience and anything can be tested in your experience.     

The best way to accept Mother:

--    Is on Faith, but faith is soul's knowledge.

--    Life Divine is explained rationally. Rationality can reach the absolute.

--    The faith should not degenerate into superstition.

Process of accepting Mother:

--    Understand

--    Experiment

--    Rely on your understanding.

--    Develop faith based on your understanding.

--    Give examples for 10 levels under the 10 columns of any head; test at least one aspect in your life, not for testing, but not to be superstitious.

--    Repeat it for all 10 levels and for permanency.

--    Decide whether you want it for result or Mother.

--    Spirituality is one's own awakening. Ensure it.

--    Exhaust all questions before accepting and not after it.

10. Coordination of that inner and outer field centering around Mother.

*     Personality organises itself in hundreds of combinations. Basically, physical values yield wealth, vital values yield power and popularity, mental values expand your professional achievement. each fortifies the other appropriately. Above, I have shown one possible combination rising to the top. Any such combination can accomplish it.  Defects of personality can accomplish the very opposite from any height.  Defects are not my topic. They are for removal.

12.  HARMONY

 1.   All external disharmony will reduce to a minimum. These people, topics go. Would disappear through the flower 'harmony'.

 2.   Others better appreciate your thoughts and position. Harmony based on it. Work of this description comes.

 3.   In-built into the atmosphere, a mechanism to prevent disharmony and promote harmony.  Disharmony is a jarring note.

 4.   Your motives are appreciated and harmony develops into unity. People who benefit by such a set-up come.

 5.   Servants, colleagues, friends etc. change into ones who are willing to promote actively harmony. The external life, as if anxious to support your harmony, supplies people of this type.

 6.   Necessity to promote cooperation arises in the atmosphere. Material supports come to build harmony, cooperation, service and an organisation for it.

 7.   Pettiness of mind disappears 95%. People change and existing people change their attitudes.

 8.   Magnanimous attitude is born around. Mother soaks into people and magnanimity is born.

 9.  Your work becomes a center and model for harmony. Life around becomes an instrument of harmony.

10. Old disharmony changes into new harmony at the present level. Reversal of consciousness takes place.

13.  LUCK

 1.   All misfortunes are subdued. Minor good fortunes show themselves. A burst of small good luck appears on the scene.

 2.   Luck comes as what is appropriate to people of next higher level materially.

 3.   Respect, status, recognition of 3 levels more come. Luck that is water in dry lands, opening at a higher level, friendship of a CM, new market in wider measure arrives.

 4.   Opportunity at the top comes for you to work and enjoy.

 5.   What was earned as profits comes as fees or commission.

 6.   All that your maximum capacities can manage comes to you to work for and get.

 7.   They come to possess without working for, by your desert.

 8.   More than what you can handle comes in the highest quality and spills over along with either status, popularity or joy.

 9.   Luck widens in area from district to state to country.

10.  You are a source of luck for others.

14.  OMEN

 1.   Bad times don't do anything. Good times come on their own automatically.

 2.   Bad times destroy bad things. In good times, what is not possible happens.

 3.   A great good starts happening at a bad time and changes its nature.

 4.   When you do an act even at a bad time, it changes that into a good one.

 5.   A bad thing takes place due to a bad omen. And then through that, a good thing comes about.

 6.   A bad omen changes its nature and becomes a good omen.

 7.   When a bad omen should invariably occur, a good omen appears as a slight trace.

 8.   A bad omen becomes an indicator of an unheard of good thing in life.

 9.   You become a good omen for others.

10.  A situation arises where everything becomes good. Whatever you are involved in becomes good. Omens lose their meaning.

15.  OPPORTUNITY

 1.  Known opportunities abound.

 2.  New opportunity (coconut arises).

 3.  Higher levels of the new opportunity.

 4.  Monetary dimension (bank loan) opens.

 5.  Social support to fulfill your dreams.

 6.  Higher levels of same support.

7.  You give a new opportunity to others and the world.

8. Newer, higher, richer dimension of it  (Profit Sharing).

16.  FAMILY

 1.   General happiness, prosperity and harmony to a substantial level.

 2.   Great foundations for joy, prosperity, harmony are laid (often through the opposites).

 3.   A higher level of Mother's consciousness comes either by wider participation or by intense individual devotion.

 4.   Blessings are received more widely, much more in the subconscious and JOY surfaces.

 5.   Base widens in prosperity, joy etc. or height of them sharply increases.
