A Paravipra is a Person Who Follows the Eternal Divine Path

The Eternal Divine Path is a non-dogmatic crystallized path which not only leads to individual liberation but also collective liberation. The Eternal Divine Path is the central point in Maitreyas teachings. It is a seven-step path, with each step a sub-sign in The Greatest Sign. We can call each step a seal.

The First Seal

The first seal ( ichng-s.gif (891 bytes)) or truth is the necessity of awakening the spiritual forces that are latent in the human. This can be done through the many exercises, teachings, knowledge, and all other techniques that help in awakening the spiritual forces. The most important of all is the Grace of the Lord (and spiritual teacher, which should be the same). Also other things, such as contemplation, meditation, prayer, exercises, etc., are important.

These techniques and teachings, however, are not the ultimate in the sense of guiding a person to Pure Consciousness. Further knowledge and steps are necessary which will be described in the next six seals. Following only this seal can result in escapism, which God does not like. This seal can be called the Mystical Paths.

The Second Seal

The next step is to realize that a proper environment is necessary in which the physiological and safety needs of the person are provided and the disturbing things (physically, mentally, and spiritually) are eliminated. This sentient environment is needed before a person is able to start to meditate and/or practice the techniques to awaken his spiritual forces, or even to start to read, and have time and enough concentration to become familiar with these things.

So a proper environment is a must and this can start from creating a Kingdom Of Heaven in ones home, then community, city, country, and eventually the world. Then the Kingdom Of Heaven ( ) On Earth will be established (realized) and all can pursue physical, mental, and spiritual progress.

The Third Seal

To create such an environment, sacrifice is necessary. Greed and self-centeredness are the cause of all the problems of humanity. So only by understanding this truth and creating the spirit of sacrifice not being self-centered ( cross-s.gif (869 bytes)) can the Kingdom of God be recognized ( ) on earth as it is in heaven.

However, sacrificing and selflessness should start from the top of the society (the leaders). Otherwise the mass will be exploited through their sacrifices and a few will take advantage of these sacrifices for their selfish pursuances.

The Fourth Seal

To be attached to ones merits or good actions (sacrifices) is an obstacle in spiritual progress. So good should be done and the results should be surrendered to God or thrown away to the universe to be used for the progress of others ( islms15c.jpg (912 bytes)).

Even greater than surrendering is submission to Him. That is, to become a channel for His Divine actions to be done through us. In surrendering, there is still an I which exists as one who surrenders, and the surrenderer is different than the one who is surrendered to. But when a person becomes a channel for His Divine actions, then no separation exists, and the surrenderer, the thing being surrendered, and the one being surrendered to, become one. This state is called the state of renunciation, when the I and all things related to it are no more.

The Fifth Seal

Also, in order for a person to free himself from all narrowness of the mind and bondage related to it, he should become a universalist ( baha-s.gif (97 bytes)). Any ism other than universalism will result in narrowness, and this again will bring suffering. So the ideal is to work and to help to create the Kingdom Of Heaven so that the whole universe can progress toward the goal, not just a few or a small portion of the universe. Otherwise we are not following the Will of God, and our awakened spiritual forces, sacrifices, and submission will become narrow. So they will bring suffering, because they are not according to the Spirit of God, which is to see the whole universe reach Pure Consciousness.

The Sixth Seal

6th150-c.gif (2849 bytes)

With awakening the spiritual forces ( ichng-s.gif (891 bytes)), longing for a spiritual environment ( ), selflessly ( cross-s.gif (869 bytes)) working to create such an environment, and by being detached from the results of these endeavors and becoming submissive to Him ( islms15c.jpg (912 bytes)), with a universal point of view ( baha-s.gif (97 bytes)) for all, a person can be(come) a dynamic being, free from any narrowness of mind or bondages from his actions. With the use of the acquired powers through his spiritual progress, he will work to establish the Kingdom of God in the universe and help others also to understand this true path of salvation.

Such a person can be called a Paravipra ( kohw-s.gif (904 bytes)). Only these people can be(come) the true leaders of humanity, and by their examples help all to progress and reach Pure Consciousness.

The Seventh Seal

7th150-c.gif (2828 bytes)

With this progress to Paraviprahood, the false ego as a being separate from the universe or belonging to a small part is dissolved, and the ego will be expanded to be(come) one with the Universal Ego. The Grace of God will be won and the person will be helped to reach Pure Consciousness, as it is declared in the sixth church in The Revelation chapter 3: I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: (Rev. 3:8).

But to win the reward, which is to reach Pure Consciousness, the person should hold fast to what he has gained. He should not become narrow and thereby prevent further realizations of the truth, but he should be open to all things which God reveals. These are the teachings and realizations of the whole truth, which is revealed through the seventh seal ( center-s.gif (899 bytes)) or its Angel. Therefore, hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown (Rev. 3:11). If he does, then he will enter Pure Consciousness ( center-s.gif (899 bytes)).

This path of awakening the spiritual forces and coming to higher consciousness ( ichng-s.gif (891 bytes)), directing the energy and knowledge gained for teaching, helping others to the path, and trying to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth ( ), sacrificing in this endeavor ( cross-s.gif (869 bytes)), surrendering the result to Him and being submissive to Him ( islms15c.jpg (912 bytes)), be(com)ing a universalist and working for the good of the whole universe ( baha-s.gif (97 bytes)), becoming a spiritual force in leading others, and learning the way of negating the ego and feeling of separation by be(com)ing a dynamic spiritual force ( kohw-s.gif (904 bytes)), will win His Grace, and this will result in knowledge and devotion toward the universe and eventually reaching the goal (Pure Consciousness) ( center-s.gif (899 bytes)).

This is the Eternal Divine Path which the sons of God, knowingly or unknowingly, have realized and gone through, and it is the path which should be followed by all.

***

At the same time, each seal covers one religion of the world. Each has one message. Each covers one or more religions of the world, and unifies them into One Path.
