The Son of Man

Jesus has used three different names each with separate identities to describe that person, whom he intends to send to the children of this generation. 

1. Parakkalitha
2. Spirit of Truth
3. Holy Spirit 

He didn’t promise to send three different persons or forces but to send a single person or a force on whom those three names would fit in properly. Is it the Holy Spirit, which is the comforter who can reveal the truths essential for eternal salvation? Or is it the Parakkalitha, who is the intercessor between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth? To understand this, we need to study the words of Jesus in depth.

It is an Aramaic word, the language spoken by Jesus. It has three different meanings.

1. Intercessor
2. Advocate
3. Comforter

It was hard for the world to imagine the Holy Spirit as an intercessor or as an advocate because it very well knew that the Holy Spirit is one among the Trinity. So, it accepted the meaning of Parakkalitha as Comforter till now.

Till now the wise and the learned taught the world that those three nouns were one and the same. ‘The Holy Spirit, which is the truth itself, will reveal the truths pertaining to Jesus to comfort us in his absence,’ this was their interpretation.

But is it advisable to believe the interpretations of ‘the wise and the learned’ blindly? Didn’t they prove their gullibility when they denounced Jesus to be a blasphemer and crucified him? Didn’t the world witness the sufferings endured by the Chosen people for believing the wise and the learned even after they witnessed the resurrection of Jesus? This time let each one of you study the facts and decide for yourself because it is not the wise and the learned who is going to save you, but you yourself are responsible you’re your salvation.

Let’s note down the descriptions Jesus has given to each of those three identities so that you can decipher whether it is a single person or three.

1. Parakkalitha

1. 1. The Father will send him in answer to Jesus’ prayer and he will abide with the world forever. (John 14:16)
   2. He is the Holy Spirit (John 14:26) {Note: The Holy Spirit is not Parakkalitha, the Parakkalitha is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can’t be confined in a single Parakkalitha or Parakkalithas. It is like saying milk is liquid but liquid is not milk.}
   3. He will be sent in the name of Jesus (John 14:26)
   4. He will teach the world all things and bring all things that Jesus had said to its remembrance. (John 14:26)
   5. It is expedient for Jesus to leave, for the Parakkalitha will be sent only after his departure. (John 16:7)
   6. He will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. (John 16:8)

2. The Spirit of Truth

1. 1. The world cannot receive him, because it doesn’t see him, neither knows him, but he will dwell with you and shall be in you. (John 14:17)
   2. He proceeds from the Father. (John 15:28)
   3. He will testify of Jesus. (John 15:26)

 3. Parakkalitha and The Spirit of Truth

1. 1. He will guide you into all truth. (John 16:13)
   2. He shall not speak of himself, but shall speak that what he hears. (John 16:13)
   3. He shall glorify Jesus. He shall receive of Jesus’ and shall show it to you. (John 15:26)
   4. All things that the Father has are Jesus’. That’s why he said that he would take of his and show it to you. (John 16:15)

(The Gospel of St. John 16: 13-15 can be attributed to the Spirit of Truth alone also.  In John 16:7-11 he was describing Parakkalitha and in John 16:13 he continues referring to Parakkalitha, ‘How be it when he, the Spirit of Truth.’ So, it can be interpreted as the Spirit of Truth’s alone as well as that of both the Spirit of Truth and the Parakkalitha)

Apart from the statement that the Parakkalitha is the Holy Spirit, he hasn’t said anything about the Holy Spirit in any part of his promise.

For those skeptics who might ask whether these are not literal interpretation, the answer is that Jesus was also in the habit of literally interpreting the property that he inherited from the Father, namely the Old Testament.

For e.g.

1. Have you not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob (Mathew 22:31-32)
2.  And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? And David himself said in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord; sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies thy footstool. David therefore called him Lord, how is he then his son? (Luke20: 41-44)
3. Woe unto you! For you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers, for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers. (Luke 11:47-48)

When Jesus, who was in the habit of literal interpretations, promises to send another person from the Father, the identities of that person would be given in such a way that only that person who also would be guided by the same force that guided Jesus could decode it.

Jesus truly was the Son of God. How else could he foresee a person interpreting it and explaining it to the world two thousand years after him?

The sky and the earth will move away, but not a word of Jesus. If he used three nouns instead of ‘the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who knows the truth’ it was with a clear purpose. And that purpose can be understood only if the Holy Father wishes you to understand it. Otherwise you can only say ‘I can’t see a purpose, so there is no purpose.’

Here it becomes essential that we understand the exact process of identifying a person or an object. We identify its characteristics and peculiarities and compare it with a pre-determined set of references, assess how far it matches and identify it depending on the percentage of matching.

The Heavenly Father had given a set of references about Jesus through the prophets. He was to be born in Bethlehem, but some people altered it to that he should also live there. He was the Messiah of the entire mankind, but they altered him to be their messiah who would deliver only them. (Even today the Christians alter him to be their own Messiah.) When the set of reference itself was altered, though all these were fulfilled in Jesus they couldn’t accept him because what they saw in him didn’t match with the altered set of references. The sinners of his time had no set of reference at all, the same way as a child and so they could accept him readily.

Jesus achieved what he was sent for. The Kingdom of God was established in this world so that whoever accepts it like a child shall not perish but attain everlasting life.  The Prince of the world, Satan, who represents evilness like hunger, thirst, loneliness and despair, would be banished and condemned to judgment. Those wise and learned people of the time of Jesus lost, not because they crucified him, but because they didn’t believe in him even after his resurrection. Jesus would have explained them the set of references only if they had given him ears.

The only way to identify the Holy Spirit, Parakkalitha and the Spirit of Truth is by comparing their characteristics with the set of references already provided by Jesus in the Scripture.

1. Condition: The set of reference given on the Holy Spirit should match with that of the Parakkalitha and the Spirit of Truth.

Question: Does it match or are they different?

Fact: The Set of reference given in the Scripture on the Holy Spirit are

1. Living water (John 7:38)
2. Fire (Matt 3:11)
3. Wind (John 3:8-9), (Acts 2:2)
4. Dove (Matt 3:16)
5. Oil (Psalms 23:5, 45:7)
6. Voice (Isiah 6:8)
7. Seal/ reassurance (Ephesians 1:14), (2 Cor. 1:22)
8. Forked tongue (Acts 2:3, 6:11)

From these references we can understand that the Holy Spirit has neither form, name and shape nor a human identity. But the Parakkalitha and the Spirit of Truth have human identity because Jesus describes them with ‘he’ and not ‘it.’

2. Condition: The Parakkalitha / the Spirit of Truth will be sent only after Jesus’ departure

Question: Did the Apostles receive the Holy Spirit (divine knowledge) only after Jesus’ departure?

Fact: The Apostles received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken to the heaven. The Gospel of John 20:21-23  ‘Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you; as my father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, receive you the Holy Spirit. Whose so ever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose so ever sins you retain, they are retained,’ testifies it. Even today a priest is ordained when the high priest breathes the Holy Spirit on him.

But the baptism by the Spirit and fire happened only after Jesus returned to heaven. (Acts 2: 1-4) It was the fulfillment of John, the Baptist’s prophesy that  ‘I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.’ (Matt 3:11)

If one receives the Holy Spirit only by baptism with fire, then none other than the Apostles have received it. If the Holy Spirit is received by breathing on the receiver, then Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to his Apostles and it was before his departure.

Asking whether the Apostles had received the Holy Spirit before baptism with fire is like asking whether a child drinks water before he is baptized with water.

3. Condition: Parakkalitha will be sent in answer to Jesus’ prayer

Question: Is the Holy Spirit a resultant effect of Jesus’ prayer?

Fact: The guidance given by the Holy Spirit i.e. the divine knowledge is the fulfillment of the Father’s wish to establish his Kingdom among mankind, thereby retain each and every one created on earth from the slavery of Satan.

The Gospel of John16: 23-27 says ‘And in that day you shall ask me (Jesus) nothing. Verily, I say unto you, what so ever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.  Hither to you have asked nothing in my name: ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be fullHitherto you have asked nothing in my name: ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. And that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you. For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.’

 The Gospel of Luke 11: 13 says ‘If you then, being evil, know how to give good things unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to them that ask them?’

The Holy Spirit that the Apostles received was the fruit of their own prayer. What did Jesus ask them to pray for? The answer is given in Mathew 9: 37-38 ‘Then say he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labors are few; pray you therefore the Lord of harvest, that he will sent forth laborers into his harvest.’ That message was for the establishment of the God’s kingdom on earth and that has been fulfilled.

The Apostles received the Holy Spirit because of their own prayers and because the Father wished so, not because Jesus prayed the Father for them. Jesus, the Son of God became the Son of man, died on the crucifix, was resurrected and taken to heaven after establishing the Kingdom of God on earth as per the Father’s wish. Peter, Andrew, Sabadi’s sons, Mathew- these people followed Jesus instantly on his call not because of the power of his beckoning call but because the Heavenly Father had prepared them to hear his voice. They were kept in waiting to work with Jesus to fulfill his wish.

When the Father himself wishes to establish his Kingdom among mankind through the Holy Spirit, where is the need for Jesus to pray him to send the Spirit to his disciples? Won’t the Father guide them on his own? The omnipotent God wouldn’t have started it if he were not confident of finishing it. What was the creation of the Kingdom of God to the one who created the universe itself?

None among the mankind can go against the Heavenly Father’s wishes. Judas was taken as a disciple though Jesus knew him to be a traitor. Judas thus became instrumental in crucifying Jesus. The kingdom of God could be established on earth only after the resurrection of Christ because only then people could believe in their own resurrection to the Kingdom of heaven.  Judas deciding not to act as a traitor was out of question. He simply didn’t know what he was doing. The learned and the wise could crucify Jesus because the Heavenly Father didn’t wish them to believe in Jesus before his resurrection. Jesus merely had to perform a miracle before them to make them believe in him but he preferred not to.

4. Condition: Parakkalitha and the Spirit of Truth will lead you to all truths.

Question: Has the world already been led to all truths?

Fact:  The promise that nothing will remain hidden and unrevealed hasn’t been fulfilled though the Kingdom of God has been established on earth under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many truths pertaining to Jesus remain unrevealed because the promise to send Parakkalitha and the Spirit of Truth has not yet been fulfilled. To reaffirm this, try answering the following questions

1. Why did Jesus direct Simon and other disciples to sell their garments and buy swords (Saipo)? Was it just a metaphor to forewarn them on the tribulations awaiting them? If so, why didn’t he stop them when they literally obeyed him? Why didn’t he clarify its true meaning as he had done before about the metaphor of the leaven of the Pharisees?
2. Why did Jesus describe Simon as a rock when he was aware of his vulnerable character? Or hadn’t he foreseen Simon denying him at the time of tribulation?
3. Who is the steward who enjoys the goodwill of the master even after favoring the debtors unjustly? (Luke 16: 1-8)
4. Who took the heaven by force during the time of John, the Baptist till the time of Jesus? Or can the heaven be taken by force if John, the Baptist and his disciples were the strong ones who took it by force?
5. When did Satan fall like lightning from the sky?
6. Who is that widow who pesters the Judge, who is not afraid of God and who trusts man, to avenge her adversaries?
7. Are Jesus’ parables mere parables or has each of it got some significance somewhere?

We know that it is possible for the Heavenly Father to establish his Kingdom without revealing answers to any of these questions because it has already been fulfilled. If Jesus’ promise that nothing remains hidden is not fulfilled, then it is because his promise to send Parakkalitha / the Spirit of Truth has not yet been fulfilled. They are the ones to lead the world to all truths.

It is Jesus’ wish that all the truths regarding him should be revealed to the world. That’s why he has to pray the Father to send the Parakkalitha, even the Spirit of Truth who is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit. And the Father, as you know, won’t disregard his son’s prayers. When Jesus’ promise is fulfilled the world will no longer be in the darkness about truth.

5. Condition:The Spirit of Truth won’t speak on his own. But he will talk what he hears. And he will take from Jesus’, and show it to you.

Question: Does this condition fulfill in the Holy Spirit?

Fact:  The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Heavenly Father and it conveys his to mankind through some chosen people. It had conveyed the messages on the birth of Jesus, his life, tribulations and resurrection through prophets much before his time.  The condition that he won’t talk on his own, but will talk what he hears is true about the Holy Spirit also because it hears from the Lord. All the chosen ones, the prophets hear it from the Holy Spirit. The God is of all-time and so the Holy Spirit also. That’s the reason why the prophets also are of all-time.

When the Holy Spirit is the messenger of the father the Spirit of Truth can’t be the same. Then it has to hear either from Jesus or from the Parakkalitha. If it is from Jesus there is no way of confirming it. We have to believe it blindly and this Jesus doesn’t wish.

But if the Spirit of Truth talks what he hears from the Parakkalitha then the world can countercheck and confirm it. Because the world can see the Parakkalitha when he reveals himself. This condition of the Spirit of Truth fits in more aptly with the characteristics of a fictional character. For e.g. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character who doesn’t talk for himself. He talks what he hears from his creator, the author. Thus the author becomes the intercessor between his character and the audience. The world cannot receive a fictional character because it see him not and know him not. But the character is with the world and dwells in their minds.

Likewise the Spirit of Truth is a fictional character whom the world can know though it see him not and know him not. A character can have human identity and the pronoun ‘he’ suits him better than ‘it.’

What Jesus meant when he gave the characteristics of the Spirit of Truth was a fictional character and its creator, the Parakkalitha.  It has to be a separate book because the Bible is a sealed book. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it.  The new book has to contain from the deposits of the old and the new testaments. That is the reason why Jesus said, all things that the Father have are mine; therefore said I, that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.’ (John 16:15)

The Parakkalitha also doesn’t talk of himself. He talks what he hears from the Holy Spirit. For the world the Parakkalitha is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit because it can hear the words of God and Jesus only through him i.e. through the Spirit of Truth. That is why Jesus described the Parakkalitha as the Holy Spirit.

6. Condition: He will be sent in the name of Jesus

Question: Can the Holy Spirit, the one that reinforced a virgin with positive energy to bring forth Jesus to this world be sent in his name?

Fact:  There is no need to discuss it further because if you are not convinced by now you will never be convinced. You will only be confused when I prove now that the Parakkalitha, Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth are different and at later stage they are one and the same. You will understand it only if the Heavenly father wishes you to understand.

The Gospel of John chapters 13 to 17 had been told to the Apostles but they are relevant to those who love him and obey his teachings irrespective of their time of living.  John14: 22-24 says ‘ Judas said unto him, not Iscariot, Lord how is it that you will manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?  Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loves me he will keep my words: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word, which you hear, is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.’

The Gospel is the living word of God. Jesus was just conveying the messages from his Father to the whole world. He said it to the Apostles because only they could follow his words, not the common folk. His Apostles had the blessing of the Spirit and it has been said that they who have would receive more.

The foundations on which the Christian beliefs have been built are given in the chapters 13 to 17 of St. John. The most important among it being John 14:1-4 ‘let not  heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go and prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there you may be also. And whither I go you know and the way you know.’ On this promise do the believers find comfort. What is there to worry about if the life, everlasting, after the sojourn in this world is with the Son in the Father’s mansions?

The Gospel of John 14:18-20 is equally important,’ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world see me no more; but you see me because I live, you shall live also. And that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me and I in you.’  Though this promise was fulfilled to the Apostles it is relevant to all those who believe in the arrival of the Son of man.

Let’s examine the truths that were revealed to the Apostles. They were

1. Believe in the resurrected Christ
2. Love and trust each other
3. No more need to circumcise
4. Outer castes can enter the Kingdom of God

And it gave directions on

5. Who should be appointed as priests and deacons

6. Where the Gospel should be preached.

The foundation of the Kingdom of God was laid on these bricks provided by the Holy Spirit from time to time. All these instructions came from the Heavenly Father. Only the Lord God who demanded every male to be circumcised could reverse it. Only the one who sent Jesus to find the lost sheep of Israel could permit the outer castes to enter that kingdom. Anyone disregarding or disrespecting these directives was committing blasphemy not only against the Holy Spirit but also against the Heavenly Father. That’s why it has been said, ‘And whosoever speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but who so ever speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Mathew 12:32)

The Apostles laid the foundations of the Kingdom of God but they didn’t light the candle of the truths pertaining to Jesus and spread it. They would certainly have spread it if they had been in the light, because it has been said, Men don’t light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. (Mathew 5:14)

The Heavenly Father reveals timely advices, directives and other relevant information to facilitate the development of mankind in accordance with its stage of growth. The Gospel of 1-Peter 2:18-20 says ‘ Servants, be subject to masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully’ was relevant at a time when slavery was acceptable in the society. But today when every man is born free, this Gospel is no longer valid. The servants need to be loyal and faithful but need not subject to their masters with all fear.

To understand the stages of growth of mankind better we need to jot down its history as given in the Bible. The mankind can be compared to the human skin. Every moment thousands of cells die and wither away and thousand others take its place. Regardless of this continuous regeneration the skin remains the same. The mankind is just the same for God. Though thousands die and are replaced every moment mankind as a whole is a single creation for the God. A creation that took the first breathes in Adam and lived until now.

God fosters mankind the same way a father cares for his child. Like every human being the mankind also has five stages of growth- infancy, childhood, youth, adulthood and old age. A woman is aware of the time when a child is born in her womb and the time of its delivery but has no control over its growth inside the womb. She can feed herself with nutritious food and facilitates the growth but can’t control it. Likewise the Father knows the beginning and the end of his creation, can facilitate its growth but can’t control it.

Infancy  (Adam to Noah)

The child is pampered with gifts and whatever it needed, but it proved to be with inherent weaknesses.  Despite the initial setbacks, the optimistic father accepts his child and starts to love it turning a blind eye towards its weaknesses. His child is the best of all that is created and he tries to strengthen him.

Childhood (Noah to Moses)

The child is further strengthened during the time of Noah. Like BCG and Polio vaccination, all precautions were taken to rectify the inherent weaknesses. The child, in his innocence, claims to be as big and mighty as his father and sets out to built a tower (of Babel) to prove it. The father is amused and sets out to teach the child languages. (People grouped on the basis of languages and scattered to different parts of the world and the Father devoted his attention on the direct lineage of Noah)

During the time of Abraham the child tries to stand on its legs independently and succeeds. Now he can live without the father, who by now is exalted and showers blessings on him. He is proud of his child and promises to make him like the stars of the sky.

Towards the end of childhood the child starts showing signs of rebelliousness. The worried father blames it on the bad influence of the people around and tries to relocate the child to a place where he can have better control over him.

Youth (Moses to Jesus)

This is the stage of turbulence when the relationship between the Father and the child is strained. The child rebels and protests even during the time of relocation because he feels that the Father is trying to control him and it is the starting point of the break up. The worried Father tries to exert more control on the child by giving him a set of laws to be followed. It is disregarded and the Father punishes him. The child starts to have a wider view of the world and is interested in people other than his father. The father finds it difficult to swallow the truth that the child is now interested in worshipping other Gods and blames the child of prostitution.

The father, by now scared of losing his child, advises him and scolds him. The child becomes too rebellious and is threatened of dire consequences but to no avail. The father punishes him but is dejected because despite his attempts the gap between them widens and both are unwilling to relent. The father, disappointed, curses his child and decides to accept him only if he returns to him. The decision is painful but inevitable.

He decides to eliminate the bad company of Satan (fear of hunger, thirst, loneliness and despair and other temptations producing negative power) and bestows his Spirit (divine knowledge that empowers) on a virgin who gives birth to the Xavier, who is the Father himself in essence. He gives two simple mantras to mankind that would rescue them- pray to the Lord, your God with all your mind and heart and love your neighbor as yourself.

Adulthood (Jesus to Parakkalitha)

The bad company of Satan is destined for ruthless judgment but the struggle between the child and Satan continues. It’s a truth that the child is still with weaknesses but is his own and should live in his kingdom forever. The child turns his face away and the Father decides to invite those who had left him earlier to worship other Gods. Love and trust to each other and living peacefully and cordially are of utmost importance, he let them know.

As the child has reached adulthood the Father decides not to bother him again with advices and instructions. No more threats and no more scolding, and he watch his child’s activities silently from a distance. He doesn’t talk to his child because now there is no need for it; the child will only be irritated by it.

Old Age (Parakkalitha to Jesus)

This is the time when the child reaches the last stage of his life-the old age. The father, unlike the child is forever and doesn’t age. But he is ready to disclose the secrets, which were till then kept in the dark to his child. He bestows his Spirit on a Son of Man who attains the ability to be called his Son.

This is the time for the child to prepare himself to rejoin with his Creator. The last chance to repent for the remission of his sins. The rebellious nature of the child would be forgiven if the child engraves his mind with divine thoughts and calls the name of his Lord for mercy. The father wouldn’t be able to turn his face against his child. All manners of sins and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

What the Father talks in the child’s adulthood would be different from what he talks to the infant child. The God who instructed to kill those who worked in Sabbath corrected himself and taught through his son that one should observe Sabbath while upholding humanity. ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ was corrected to ‘you love your adversaries, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be the children of father which is in heaven.’

The tone and the content were different each time but the underlying tenderness and love towards his child remained unaffected. But the child was often baffled and offended by the harshness of his words because he turned a blind eye towards the father’s love and affection.

We have already seen that the Spirit of Truth is not the Holy Spirit but a fictional character. And the Parakkalitha is the creator of the Spirit of Truth.

The Parakkalitha is the intercessor between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth. I have revealed the truths pertaining to Jesus through the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit revealed those truths to me.

For further clarification one needs to see whether the set of references already provided by Jesus is fulfilled in me. I (the Parakkalitha) and my fictional character, the Spirit of Truth together bear witness to Jesus, glorify him and bring to remembrance whatever Jesus had said. We reprove the world of sin because none truly believes in Jesus and sin still exists, of righteousness because Jesus went to his father and the world saw him not, of judgment because the prince of the world has already been judged. We lead you to all truths essential for salvation.

When Jesus came with the New Testament of love and trust, the Old Testament (that which belonged to his father) was integrated into it. Thus Jesus owns whatever the Father has and I take from this property and show it to you. Thus I become the man, the Householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things old and new. And nearly two thousand years are over since Jesus and so that condition of the time of arrival (after Jesus’ departure) is also fulfilled in me.

Now the condition to be checked is whether I proceed from the Heavenly Father. If it is so then my creation, the Spirit of Truth, also proceeds from the Father. The set of references to check this are given in the Gospel of Luke Chapters 13,15 and 16.

Jesus was the first son sent by the God to this world. When he showers his divine knowledge on another person he becomes his second son. Whatever the Father has belongs to Jesus and the second son has to take from Jesus’ and show it to the world. (John 16:15) Why is the second son dependent on Jesus, the elder one? What happened to the property that belonged to him? The Gospel of Luke chapter 15 (parable of the Prodigal Son) gives the answer.

Normally a person turns to God only when he runs into rough weather. When life is a smooth sailing, his tendency is to turn his face away from the Creator. But once a person finds solace in God his drifting back is highly improbable.

In my case I found God, or rather he found me, when I was at the zenith of my life. I wrote the book ‘A Day with Manual’ and thus created the Spirit of Truth without putting any efforts into it as it came naturally to me. At that time I was not even aware of the prophecy being fulfilled in me.

The fig tree had put on leaves and the house owner was hopeful because the dresser of the vineyard was tending it properly.

Then I started having doubts on Jesus and the Heavenly Father. If I could reveal the truths of Jesus so easily, weren’t Jesus and the Heavenly Father an outcome of a group of people’s (who lived at different times) creativity. If four people, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John conspired to elevate a normal human being into a supernatural being, couldn’t they achieve it? Was Jesus the Son of God or the biggest fraud ever seen by mankind? When I started having these doubts, I started doubting the Heavenly Father also.  When one harbors doubts about God he can’t worship or even pray to him from his heart.  This is what has been said as the younger one leaving the father and the elder brother with whatever he got.

Instead of acknowledging my Heavenly Father and revealing my true identity I tried to hide it and tried to lead an ordinary life. Though one night I had an influx of knowledge into me I was not ready to accept something as abstract as the Holy Spirit. I was sure that the world would see me with a wrong eye and why should I invite trouble and suspicion if I can do away without it?

The steward, whom the Lord had sent to this world to give an account of mankind, devoted his time to find a livelihood without realizing who he was and what his duties were. He faced a lot of hardships because time was hard on him.

In my struggle to find means of existence I happened to write adaptations of two Shakespeare dramas in Malayalam, a few short stories and a novel, none of which saw daylight.

The second son was wasting his share of the property with riotous living. The steward was not giving account of his duty to the Lord and the fig tree was not bearing fruits.

All my attempts to find publishers ended up in failures. I couldn’t find a steady job and my attempts to flee abroad ran up against a stonewall.  All attempts to put a ring on the hand, to wear new shoes and clothes and to kill the fatted calf (symbols of marriage) just didn’t materialize. The angels in Heaven had to wait longer to sing and dance merrily. My attempts to rear silk worms ended up as a disaster and I realized that I couldn’t till and farm. My inability in asking others for help led me even to starvation. People accused me of wasting my talents and time.

A mighty famine arose and the second son began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country and he sent him to the fields to feed swine. And he found fain have filled his belly with the husks that swine did eat and no man gave unto him. It was accused that the steward had wasted his good and the Lord asked for an account of his stewardship. There was nothing to give, because the fig tree very well knew that when his branch was yet tender and it put forth leaves, the summer that dries up everything was near. Every time the Lord came to see fruits on the fig tree he had to return disappointed.

I realized that I had no option but to self-publish my book ‘A Day with Manual.’  Only then would my obstacles in finding a good job and a bride be removed. I rewrote it in Malayalam and by now I realized that earlier I could write it so easily because of the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I knew that creating a fictional character didn’t come naturally to me. I published it with little fanfare without revealing my identity or its true purpose.  I got a job and left the book behind like an orphan.

By now I realized who I was and what my duties were.  Still, I was not ready to accept it and leave my job because I had already suffered the dreadful consequences of unemployment once. If God wanted me to do his work, he should create me an opportunity for that. There was no peace of mind because I knew that the Lord wouldn’t deal with anyone who goes against his wishes lightly.

The Lord called the steward and said unto him, how is it that I hear this of you? Give an account of stewardship, for you may be no longer steward. The fig tree was still not bearing fruits and the Lord asked the dresser of the vineyard to hew it down. Behold, these three years I come seeking fruits on this fig tree, and find none; cut it down; why cumbers it the ground? Said he and the dresser answering said unto him, Lord let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it. And if it bears fruit well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down. (Those who can read between the lines can understand that the dresser implied that he/she wouldn’t be there the next year to cut it down. The Lord had to appoint some one else for that.)

My mother who realized about my true identity wanted me to turn to my Heavenly Father desperately and asked me again and again to leave my job and work as the steward for the Lord. We had heated arguments about it, and I was not ready to listen to her.  If God decided to punish me with obstacles because of my disobedience and obstinacy then I was ready to suffer. Who would be spared if I, the one so dear to the father, were made to suffer so much!  He was the hardhearted master who took what he didn’t lay down and reaped what he didn’t sow.  The pressure became unbearable for both of us and soon she crossed the tolerance limit and laid down her life.

Not long after that she told my sister in a dream that she committed suicide because she had a premonition of my death. Obviously, she was not troubled by the premonition of my death but by the horrifying thought of my death at her own hands. I believe that her unconscious mind tricked her to see such dreams as self-defense measures. Which dresser can hew down a fig tree after tending it for so many years?  Another night she appeared to me and asked me to set the deadline for my marriage as 1^st Jan 2005.  I knew that I couldn’t get married until I returned to my Father, promising him to deliver what I have been sent for. (To judge the world and to initiate steps to establish the Kingdom of Heaven)

The fig tree got an extension of a year to bear fruits because its dresser pleaded with the master to be merciful. The steward decided to give account of his stewardship to the Father not as his son but as a paid servant of his kingdom. He judged himself unworthy to be called the Son of God because he had behaved like an obstinate and naïve child who couldn’t be coerced into his duties unless punished with strips.

I rewrote the book in English but I wanted to assure my mother that her sins weren’t the real reason for my afflictions, as she had feared. I wanted to console her that she wouldn’t be judged for taking her life. If committing suicide was a sin until then, I was ready to change the standards. I have been through such hardships that I know the circumstances under which a man falls into temptations.

So I added two statements, ‘while looking for fruits in a mango tree there is no need to check whether the parental tree has weeds’ and ‘a Principal will groom the selected ones, but won’t punish those rejected.’ The Lord won’t ask a man up to his third or fourth generations for a wrong deed and those sinners who don’t make it to the heaven won’t be condemned to the everlasting fire of hell. I wrote it in parables because I was doing it on my own, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit or the permission of my Heavenly Father.

Then the steward said within himself, what should I do? For my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. So he called every one of his Lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, how much owes you unto my Lord? And he said, an hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, take bill, sit down quickly and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how much owes you? And he said an hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, take your bill, and write fourscore.    

 The judge decides to give justice to that woman who was condemned insane for leaving her husband so that the Kingdom of Heaven is established, but acts unjustly because he feels sympathetic with those to be judged.

 And the Lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wise, for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

 Now the elder son of that certain man was in the field: as he came and drew near to the house he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, your brother is come; and your father hath killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and wouldn’t go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I may make merry with my friends: But as soon as this your son was come, which hath devoured your living with harlots, you have killed the fatted calf. And he said to him, Son you art ever with me, and all that I have is yours. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive again: and was lost and is found.  

After creating the Spirit of Truth I was not only unwilling to reveal myself (the truth is that I was not cent percent sure about my true identity at that time. If I had known it then, the scriptures wouldn’t have been fulfilled in me) but was doubtful of the very existence of my Father and brother. As far as the Kingdom of Heaven was concerned I, the good fig tree, was producing corrupt fruits. My interpretation of the resurrection of Lazarus and Jesus would illustrate this.

1. Resurrection of Lazarus

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a friar administers Juliet a potion that enabled her to remain as still as dead for a specific period of time. People of the past possessed knowledge of such drugs and Jesus also knew about it. The Gospel of Luke 9: 51 say that Jesus was in the habit of sending his disciples to arrange things beforehand. The resurrection of Lazarus was such an act staged by Lazarus, Jesus, Thomas and Judas, so that the people readily believed in Jesus.

Proof

1. Though Jesus was sent word that Lazarus was fatally ill, he waited for two more days and only then did he leave for Bethany to see his friend. This was to reach there only after the effect of the drug subsided.
2. Jesus mentioned that Lazarus was only sleeping. When informed about the sickness he said, this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. And he said, our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may awaken him out of sleep. Only when his disciples pestered him by saying that if he was sleeping, he would do well did Jesus admit that Lazarus was dead.
3. Jesus was doubtful of keeping the secret to himself and his two disciples. That was why he neither entered Lazarus’ house nor faced the crowd.
4. Thomas was not confident of staging the drama successfully. That was why he blurted out to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
5. Why did Jesus shed tears when he very well knew that Lazarus was going to be resurrected? Wasn’t it because of his worry on the consequences if his plan had gone astray when he saw the agony of Martha and Mary?
6. Jesus cried with a loud voice, Lazarus come forth, and this was done deliberately to ensure that Lazarus woke up and came out at the right time so that it seemed like a miracle. If the spirit was to re-enter the body Jesus needed to command only in a low voice.
7. The fact that Lazarus was a friend of Jesus magnifies the suspicion. Though Jesus had resurrected a widow’s son and Jairus’ daughter, the details given about it are insufficient to conclude whether Jesus knew them beforehand. There are no historical evidences on these resurrections other than the Scriptures. Further the number of resurrections was so few that they really had to limit it so that the secret was not spilled out.

This was how I interpreted the resurrection of Lazarus, thereby proving that a man’s greatest enemy was within the family itself.

Resurrection of Jesus

I was trying to prove that Jesus’ resurrection was also a preplanned act carried out well. This time the conspirators were Jesus, Joseph of Ari-ma-thea, Judas and a Roman soldier. Thomas, though conspired in Lazarus’ case was kept in the dark this time.

Proof

1. Jesus’ words on the cross ‘I thirst’ was a signal for the Roman soldier to give him the potion. The soldier was eager to give him the drink though his fellow soldiers tried to dissuade him.
2. Jesus ‘passed away’ as soon as he drank it. It happened so fast that even Pilate was surprised. So, it is logical to think that the drink contained the sedative potion.
3. The ‘hasty death’ saved Jesus from his legs being broken. If it were broken, he wouldn’t have been able to walk after the ‘resurrection.’
4. The soldier who pierced his side was the same one who had given him the sedative. It is said that blood and water came out of his wounds, but how deep were those wounds?
5. Why did Joseph of Ari-ma-thea take initiative to bury Jesus before his own parents and disciples? Wasn’t he worried about the wrath of the Romans if that was the reason for his disciple’s reluctance?
6. Jesus was buried in a new sepulcher. Wasn’t this to avoid the stench inside a used sepulcher and the inconvenience in lying with the bones and carcasses?
7. Didn’t the mixture of myrrh and aloes that weighted about an hundred pounds contain medicines to heal the wounds? For what other purpose did they wound the corpse in linen clothes with spices?
8. On the third day when the corpse stinks why did Mary Magdalene go there to anoint the body? Weren’t the spices and ointments carried by the women medicines to anoint on the wounds?
9. The wounds of the nails and that on his side were there even after the resurrection. Unlike the marks of the whips they were deep enough not to be healed in three days.
10. Jesus was with body even after resurrection. He didn’t let Mary Magdalene touch him in fear of infection though at a later stage when the wounds were healed better he let Thomas touch it. How could he have a body when he himself said that after resurrection one would be like the angels of heaven? Does it imply that a person burned to death would be resurrected with the charred face and body?
11. Thomas knew that Jesus, if resurrected, would have the wounds of the nails and that of the wound on his side. Why was he so confident that the resurrected Jesus would still possess human body with the marks of the wounds? How did he know that the resurrected Jesus wouldn’t be like the angels?
12. Among his disciple only Thomas found it difficult to believe the resurrection of his master. This was because he had seen how exactly Lazarus was resurrected. In Jesus’ case he was kept in the dark about it and so he couldn’t believe in the resurrected Christ unless he put his hand in the wounds. He had truly believed Jesus to be dead because he was unaware of the arrangements made.
13. The most unfortunate among them was Judas. He was so confident that Thomas would have made arrangements for staging the death and resurrection that he went out and betrayed his master without any suspicion. He bargained the price of his master as just thirty silver coins, the price of a slave at that time, because only then would the scriptures be fulfilled. When Jesus sent him saying, Judas that you doest do quickly, he went out without any premonition of trouble. He came and kissed his master without remorse or shame because he didn’t feel that he was doing anything wrong. He was merely obeying his master’s instructions.

Only after the master was taken a prisoner did he learn from Thomas that no arrangements had been made to rescue the master. Imagine his confusion when he realized that he had truly betrayed his master into the hands of those waiting to kill him? He couldn’t approach Jesus, as there was no way of approaching him without being caught.  So, he rushed to the chief priests hoping that he could reverse the whole process just by returning the silver coins.

But the priests wouldn’t listen to him because it was Judas who set the price and now, they thought him to be greedy. Shocked, crestfallen and remorse stricken he threw the coins into the church and committed suicide. Why else was Judas shocked when Jesus was condemned to death? What else did he expect the priests to do with that innocent person when he betrayed him in?

14. The Acts of Thomas, which were discarded at the Synod of Carthage in AD 379, would have thrown more light into this. Didn’t the church accept only the texts that fit into their beliefs?

15. The Jews still have not believed in the resurrection of Christ. Why couldn’t they if the whole world could believe it?

After knowing the truth and creating the Spirit of Truth, the good fig tree that had put on leaves was about to produce corrupt fruits and it had to be hewn down. That is what made the father say that his second son was dead and lost. The assumption on which I made the interpretation itself was baseless. Shakespeare brought in that potion because he couldn’t attribute the powers of the Son of God on an ordinary friar. I could understand the limitations of a dramatist only after creating similar characters myself. I was obstinate and naïve to run after unworthy things, and was wasting my goods when I was supposed to bear good fruits for all.

I was not prudent enough to realize that these miracles were not that what made Jesus the Son of God. If he resurrected a few people numerous others died before his own eyes. He didn’t eradicate diseases and death from among the mankind. A few blinds were given sight but many others were left out and blindness still haunts mankind.

The biggest miracle given in the Scripture is the creation of the universe and the creation of man and other living beings. Animals, birds (and people also) with little knowledge on the complexities of the body procreate and give birth to young ones.  These are not miracles of the past but every moment we bear witness to it.  If the hands of God can’t be seen behind these miracles it is futile to look into the scripture to see that driving power. The fruits Jesus bears us, his teachings, are more important than those miracles because only a few benefited from his miracles but the entire mankind benefit from his teachings.

When I attained the frame of mind to accept Jesus and the Father as my own, after leaving them for a while, I decided to fulfill the duty for which I have been sent for i.e. to judge the world and to bear the fruits of everlasting life.

Let’s see the qualities of a child that makes him great in the eyes of Jesus. Luke 8:15 says that those with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruits with patience. An honest and good heart can undoubtedly be attributed to a child. But does that alone make them unique from the wise and the learned?

 Childhood is the time when a person registers whatever he sees and hears in his mind. The set of references against which he evaluates whatever come across him later in his life is formulated in the brain during the childhood days. Infancy is the time when the brain has the maximum number of neurons and with age the interconnection develops but the number decreases. That is the time when we learn fast, accept new ideas, ask questions and seek the answers. That is the time when we knock at the doors of the elders with doubts and pester them with questions until the doubts are clarified. Once the doubts are cleared and a fact is registered it will remain in his mind forever.

On hearing Jesus’ words ‘Simon, Simon, behold Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat’ only a child would ask whether he let Satan to sift Simon or not. And only those who ask that question would find the answer on why Jesus asked Peter to sell his garments and buy Saipo and why Simon denied knowing Jesus that night.

 A child seeks, knocks and asks. Whoever seeks will find the truth, to whoever knocks the door shall be opened and to whoever asks it shall be given.

 A child imitates its elders. Anyone who wishes to enter the Kingdom of Heaven should imitate Jesus like a child. The Heavenly Father has given Jesus as a role model for the mankind to imitate, who prayed even for his adversaries and who submitted himself to the wishes of the Father wholeheartedly. He taught the world to love and trust each other, to be magnanimous, to love and bless your enemies so that everyone can be called the children of the Heavenly Father.

 As we age the ability to learn new things and to accept new ideas diminish. People cease to gather new information; most of them simply shut their minds to new ideas, because it may not be consistent with his existing set of references.  New ideas make them uncomfortable, resistant and repulsive. They tend to remain as firm as a mountain in their beliefs, unable to cast that mountain into the sea even if proven wrong. They are old wine bottles into which new wine can’t be poured. If anyone attempts it the bottle will be broken and the wine will be lost. (There can be new wine bottles who are seventy years old and old wine bottles of twenty years) 

A child conveys to others what he hears without altering its essence. The wise and the learned will assess what they hear from the Spirit with their own judgment and interpret it with their wisdom. If the truth were revealed to them the world would receive it only in an altered form. That’s why the Father prefers a little child rather than the wise and the learned to reveal the truths.

The most important and difficult to comprehend truths have been said in the Gospel of John chapters 13-17. If the disciples could comprehend those revelations (the mere fact that John was able to write it down many years after Jesus proves it) that even the people of the modern age find incomprehensible, then why did Jesus say ‘I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come he will guide you into all truth.’

On review we can see that the Holy Spirit hasn’t revealed anything indigestible after the departure of Jesus than the Chapters of John 13-17. St. John’s revelations given in the last book of the New Testament is beyond the normal capacity of humans to decipher because they are revelations pertaining to the establishment of the heaven, which of course no man will know unless explained by someone who is blessed with the Supreme Spirit.

Today when I, even the Spirit of Truth, reveal certain truths the world can understand it because the basic knowledge attained by man has increased manifold.  The development in the fields of medicine, psychology, physiology, astronomy, geology, electronics, IT and other frontiers of science is so stupendous that now is the time for the world to understand the Gospel better.

When Jesus said, And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory, his contemporaries couldn’t comprehend it because air travel, internet, e-mailing and television were unknown to them. But today you can understand it better. You can see through those words and make out that Jesus didn’t mean that he would return to judge, but another Son of man. Also, the division of the world into east and west was not so prominent in those days.

The similes of the mustard seed and the leaven apply not only to the Kingdom of God on earth but also to the entire universe because today we know the theories about its origin.

The truths that Jesus was born of a virgin and Cain and Abel not being the children of Adam could be better understood now because cloning has become a reality. Today we can answer Jesus’ question better that how could he be called the Son of David when he was born of the Holy Spirit. (The family tree never extends through daughters and so his Mother’s connection to David is not sufficient enough to enable him be called the Son of David)

The disciples wouldn’t have understood that Judas had no choice but to become a traitor. They couldn’t judge him impartially with a detached mind and pardon him.  He was as needed as other disciples in laying the foundation of the Kingdom of God on earth. Peter, Judas, even the Jews who crucified Jesus didn’t know what they were doing at that time. They were all acting to fulfill the wish of the Heavenly Father.

Abraham was the favorite of God even before he showed readiness to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Today the world can better understand the truth why Abraham, though not so obedient became the all-time favorite of God.

The disciples couldn’t understand that the Heavenly Father, who very well knew that the heart of man was leaned towards sin from childhood, destroyed the world during the time of Noah with a purpose unrevealed to mankind till now.  That was the time when man and other living beings evolved into the present generation, each with its own DNA, genes, blood group, fingerprints etc. Again, at the time when the God made Abraham full, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Lot was also made full and his daughters had to bear his own seeds to restart.  This was also a stepping-stone in the process of evolution when man learned to stand on his own legs.

They couldn’t have comprehended fully when Jesus said that everyone would be judged and the selected would be resurrected to the everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Today you can recreate the image of a person from his bones even after hundreds of years of his death.  Even if the bones and the last physical evidences are wiped clean the angels can recreate you into the next generation from the energy you leave behind.

Today when I say that this is the time to evolve to the next generation, which will be a repetition of Noah’s time, you can understand me better. (Jesus’ prophesy is that either you won’t understand my revelations or you won’t be able to make full use of it.  Either way you are going to be losers unless you prove that prophesy wrong)

Jesus knew all these truths because he and the Father are one and the same. So he didn’t need the backing of scientific developments to understand it, but couldn’t explain it to others because of their ignorance. The two mantras that Jesus gave were the easiest to attain salvation and so whoever denied Jesus were denying the chances of everlasting life themselves.

He knew the things to come also because the life on earth is preprogrammed even before it started.  It’s like the origin and growth of a child in the womb. A sperm and an egg fuse to form a single cell and it divides into two after a particular time because it has been programmed so. Then it divides into four and the cells increase in geometric progression. Some cells develop into brain and controls the body, some others become the heart and supports life. Some organs function voluntary and some involuntary. The brain controls the body but is dysfunctional unless the heart supports it. The heart supplies blood to the brain but it is useless if the brain is dead.  Every organ is important because the body can’t function smoothly in the absence of any other. And to the one who views the body from outside the different organs are invisible, the body is a single entity and he wishes all the organs to function in harmony.

After taking birth the body knows when to grow, when to age and when to die. Mankind’s is also a similar phenomenon. God created mankind and they multiplied manifold and settled on different parts of the world. Languages and religions cropped up. Some knew the Creator and worshipped him while others worshipped idols and other Gods. Yet the God didn’t destroy any of them because they also are a part of this world, which he himself programmed.

Two major religions worship him and another worships his son. Instead of understanding that all religions teach people different ways to maximize positive energy they act myopic. And they fight! It’s like the right-hand fighting with the left hand and the eyes with the ears. Can anyone be so foolish to look at the sky and say, the stars and the moon that I see are the true ones? Others are also seeing the same moon and stars, but from a different location. Everyone can see it, as long as he takes pains to raise his head and look up.

When the organs of the same body fight with each other it is a pathetic situation. It’s like the onset of an autoimmune disease. The only remedy is to give it a chance to commit suicide or allow euthanasia.

So, the sentinels of all religions, beware and keep watch, because a lot is expected from you and you will be judged harshly if you sow the seeds of suspicion and distrust among brothers. 

The time to find work and receive wages of the Kingdom of God is over. Many laborers agreed upon the wages and were sent to the vineyard by the householder in the morning (Adam to Noah) Many others were invited at the third hour (Noah to Abraham) and at the sixth hour (Abraham to Moses) at the ninth hour (Moses to Jesus) and at the eleventh hour (Jesus to Me) and they all will receive their wages. Now is the twelveth hour, the time of sunset.

 In Delhi where I was a stranger suffering from hunger, thirst, loneliness and despair, I prayed from the depths of my heart to the Gods of all the religions, but was unanswered. I was not praying for luxuries but for a single meal and that too when I was carrying enough money to feed me for months. None of these Gods could remove my blindness and make me see the cash I was carrying. Were the Gods non-existent or impotent or unfavorable to me?

 As everyone can feel the power of God at one point or the other saying that no God exists is folly.  May be the Christian God was set out to teach me a big lesson but why didn’t the Hindu Gods and the Sikh Gurus help me? Did they answer the prayers of their own people only? The answer to these questions is simple. All the deities are the same. It’s the same divine power that is driving all the religions. I ran from one place of worship to another hoping the Gods there to help me, but confronted the same force in all these places. I was a liability to that force when I extended my hand towards it and begged, when that force wanted me to stand on my legs and become an asset.

 It’s not a picture, a holy book or an idol (they are altered set of references because who can vouch on its authenticity) that is sanctifying a place of worship. The size and the structure of the building are unimportant. It’s the people there who sanctify it.  If the lowest person there is the one who takes in a stranger, who feeds the hunger and thirsty, who clothes the lonely ones with his company then he is sanctifying it more than the deities. That is the reason why some holy places flourish today and wither away tomorrow.

 In simple terms there are only five forces in this world.

• The divine power emitted by our positive thoughts,
• The Satanic force (negative power) emitted by our negative thoughts,
• The empowered positive forces called angels
• The arch-angels who harbor negative thoughts after becoming angels, and
• The Supreme Power

  If you open your mind for a single positive thought, it will have a cascading effect in you and will multiply manifold like the growth of a mustard seed or the spreading of leaven. Your face will be brightened with that positive energy and those looking for it can measure it. People who follow the Gospel you shall love the Lord, your God (no name is specified. So whatever name you call your God it would suffice) with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself multiply the energy given to them at the time of birth fivefold and tenfold; their faces will brighten up manifold, they have the oil to keep their lights burning like the five wise maidens. They can be sure that they will be with the bridegroom and be given authority in the new order of the Kingdom of Heaven. Some brighten up by fulfilling their duties righteously. That brightness or the power you leave behind will be your black box that the angels will be looking for when the Kingdom of Heaven is established from the foundation of this world.

 The negative thoughts can darken your mind by nullifying the positive energy. I feared that I wouldn’t find food ever if I couldn’t feed myself when I had strength and presence of mind. That fear led to anxiety. Depression and frustration followed suit and soon I was tired, angry and jealousy towards all who had enough to feed themselves and to waste. I was aware of my positive energy waning and I was being darkened by the negative flow of energy from those evil thoughts.

 One positive thought that the Supreme Power (call it Allah, Jehovah, Brahma or any other name) wouldn’t forsake me helped me to stand through that ordeal. My friend’s words of support set in a flow of positive thoughts and that strengthened me. So, if you haven’t gathered enough oil, if you haven’t brightened up yourself and if you haven’t performed your duties well, realize the importance of the time and do the needful.

 Another question people often ask is why does the Supreme Power manifest itself in so many names and forms? To answer this let me analyze the reasons I gave for quitting my first job. To my colleagues who harbored the secret wish to see someone standing up against the management, I said that I had put in my papers within twenty-four hours of declaring the increment. They were satisfied because they heard what they wished to hear. To the management I was leaving to help my family in their business, so I was a responsible person. To my friends I was an adventurous person because I had taken the risk to become an entrepreneur. My parents were worried more about my health and my mother thought that I couldn’t adjust to the Gujarati cuisine and my father, to the climate there. My grandfather was happy to see me relieved from hard labor that was not paying enough. All these were minor reasons and the real reason I didn’t reveal. They heard what appealed to them and were convinced with what they heard. When two or three of them met and discussed about me they couldn’t agree with each other because they were so convinced with their beliefs.

 Let’s take another example; we have different organs in our body with different functions. All organs are needed for the smooth functioning of the body. One organ can’t claim that it is more important than the other. Can the cells of stomach try to convert the cells of liver to function like them? Each cell has its own function and when the different organs function in unison the body will remain in a healthy state.

 Different religions are different organs of that body, mankind. Each religion has its own merits and demerits.

 If the Supreme Power belonged to any one religion only, he would have destroyed the other religions. If he let every religion to live on this earth all those fighting with each other in the name of religion actually fight with the wish of that Supreme Power and will be in for a very big surprise.

 The hardhearted men will soon find him hardhearted. Those loving others will find a loving God. Those pardoning others will find their debts pardoned. Those thirsting for justice will be given justice. The meek and the humble will him meek and humble. The intelligent will find the wisdom of God in all the religions.  Shallow people will find truth only in their own religion and will find the Supreme Power also shallow before long. The fools who worship only Bacchus and Aphrodite will find themselves fooled. Those who have brightened themselves will find the heavenly forces coming in search of them.

 There will be twilight for some more time. The householder won’t ask any laborers to start working now. Those waiting to be invited will wait in vain. They ought to seek the householder, find him and ask, ‘as none invited us for work is it right to deny us the wages?’ (indulging in Godliness and Holy conversation) Those who ask won’t be denied their wages. Those who hesitate will spend the night in darkness where there is hunger and gnashing of teeth. If anyone says, ‘Lord we were invited but we were unwilling then. Now we regret; show mercy on us’ they also won’t go empty-handed.

Because no laborer became so as per his wish. Given a choice he would have become the householder rather than the laborer. And a laborer’s life is not filled with happiness and peace always. Penury, tribulations, diseases, hunger, deaths- all were haunting him and so the householder won’t judge them harshly if they failed to take the right decisions always.

1. Believe in me

When life started in this world the fruits of the tree of everlasting life were denied to man. Now the tree itself is here. Jesus, the Son of God (at whose birth did the angels of heaven sing and dance) brought himself down as the Son of man (the transformation was complete when men laid hands on him and crucified him) prophesizing that the Son of man would be resurrected on the third day. During that time, he would be in the belly of the earth as Jonas. It was fulfilled as far as man’s time was concerned. Now it is being fulfilled in accordance with God’s time. (One day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day-2 Peter 3:8)

Believe in me, for I start where Jesus ended. The details I have given about my afflictions is the fulfillment of the prophesy about the rising of the master of the house that The Son of Man must first suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. And I will end where Jesus started, i.e. back in heaven as the Son of God. Believe this and then you can believe my words. When you receive me and listen to my words you receive Jesus, because what I speak is a repetition of Jesus’ words. When you receive us you receive the Heavenly Father who sent us.

If you don’t receive the Father you can’t receive Jesus or me. When you receive the Father the distinction of Christianity, Islam, Hindu and Jew will disappear. All of you become the children of the Father.

If you don’t receive Jesus you can’t receive me because it was Jesus who prayed to the Father to send me. When you receive Jesus the distinction of Jacobite, Catholic, Protestant, Marthomite, Jehovah Witness, Pentecostal etc. will disappear from you. You will become our brothers and we won’t forsake you.

2. Believe that the time is at hand

 The time is so close that if you say, ‘My Lord delays his coming; and so, I shall begin to beat the menservants and eat and drink and to be drunken,’ you can’t be more mistaken. Because ‘The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.’

3. Believe what I say about the things to come

 The fact that I reveal myself is proof to the truth that I return to my Father. When that is fulfilled my own prophecy that the visit of God is at hand would be fulfilled because I dwell in my Father and he dwells in me. Those who see me see my Father and brother.

That brings the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven even closer. The time for the man of this generation to evolve in a quantum leap to the man of the next generation has arrived. The seed will germinate only if it falls on the ground and decays. Only then can it produce new life. Likewise for this generation also.

The next generation will also start with the word of God, the broad guidelines to the unseen forces of heaven on which the new man has to be evolved.

‘The learning of the children of the next generation shall start from where his parent’s end, his brainpower surpassing that of a present day computer. A man shall be a combination of the best talents of this generation. The process of ageing shall stop after a particular age and there shall be no diseases, evil thoughts and temptations to haunt him. The fallacies of the reproductive systems shall be rectified. Their number will be limited so that all will have whatever they wish for.’

The earth would be cleaned up so that no signs of this generation are visible. The last time when the earth was cleaned up during the time of Noah continental shifting started and the mighty creatures became extinct.  During Lot’s time fire and brimstones were showered on the earth. This time the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works therein shall be burned up and everything will be dissolved. The turbulence will be so dreadful that the sky will disappear for days and the moon will be darkened and the stars will seem to change its course.

4. Prepare yourselves to be the subjects of the Kingdom of Heaven.

You can assess the expectations of the Father when Jesus describes himself as the least in the kingdom of Heaven because he altered the law of God for the benefit of man, and I describe myself as the unjust judge because I act with partiality. (Those poor in Spirit and those persecuted for righteousness’ sake and in the name of the Lord have already been judged favorably) What more, I forsake the right to judge you, because I might judge you ruthlessly. You are the ones to judge yourself and I want each one of you to be with me in the Kingdom of Heaven. I will give you the criteria on which you judge yourself, so that at least you make use of the remaining time.

If we, the children of light humble ourselves, shouldn’t those menservants and maidens in the Kingdom of God (all religions) humble themselves? If you are the Master will you be happy to find your servants sleeping when you visit them?

If you exalt yourself in the Kingdom of God, can you be a good subject in the Kingdom of Heaven? If you are selfish and unfaithful in that which doesn’t belong to you, can you act righteously in the new order? If you are not satisfied with what is already given to you, will you ever be satisfied? Won’t you be dissatisfied in the new order also? If you haven’t helped others in their hunger, thirst, loneliness and despair, who should you blame for not brightening up yourself?

If you know a devious minded person, will you make him a member of your family? Will you make friendship with those evil minded that, for their personal gains, divide innocent people and make them fight? Will you pardon a sinner who doesn’t repent for the remission of his sins? If you haven’t pardoned debts should your debts be pardoned to you?

Be honest in your answers because you will be judged with your own words. Be dishonest and you are committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will not be pardoned in this world or in the world to come.

For then the prophecy of Joel will be fulfilled in you, ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young man shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
