lesson 12
What should you do?
Remember Jesus’ words Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Is it advisable to build your treasures in such a fragile world?
The inner parts of the earth are molten material upon which the tectonic plates like Indian plate, Arabian plate etc. float. The plates are so tightly balanced that if any of these plates sink then life on earth is in peril. Or if a meteor strikes our planet then it can cause mass extinction. Or if water disintegrates then life on earth is in jeopardy. That fragile life on earth is!
The Gospel is being fulfilled right in front of your eyes. The question is whether you can recognize it. Whether you can act and store up treasures in heaven for yourself and make yourself worthy of the fruits everlasting life.
For that what should you do?
1. Believe in Jesus
Proclaiming to be a Believer in Jesus is very different from being a true believer of Jesus. Believing in Jesus is very important for getting chosen as one to eat from the tree of everlasting life. The big question is how to get chosen.
You will be chosen if you harbor positive thoughts in your mind and do positive deeds which will increase your positive powers.
Let’s see what these Positive and negative powers are.
If you open your mind for a positive thought or do a positive deed it will have a cascading effect in you and will multiply manifold in your mind like the growth of a mustard seed. Remember the parable of the mustard seed wherein the Kingdom of Heaven is compared to a mustard seed which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches. Or like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
You will be brightened with that positive energy. That’s what will get your name into the Book of Life and that’s what the Kingdom of heaven is interested in. That brightness or the power you leave behind will be your ‘black box’ that will be looked for at the time of Judgment.
The negative thoughts can darken you by nullifying the positive power. If you let fear of future affect you it can lead to anxiety. Depression and frustration would follow suit and soon the person will be tired, angry and jealousy towards others. You let in one evil and other evils will accompany it. (When you trust in God there is no place for fear of future or poverty or disease because nothing happens without the knowledge of that Supreme Power. The chances of you looking for that Supreme Power is more when you are in poverty disease or distress.)
Remember Jesus’ words, ‘But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.’
When you follow the words ‘you shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; (Note that no name is specified, it’s mentioned ‘your God’ not ‘the God’; so the thing on which you concentrate is your God) and love your neighbor as yourself’ you will multiply your power fivefold and tenfold; your faces will brighten up, you will have the oil to keep your lights burning like the five wise maidens. You can be sure that you will be with the bridegroom and be given authority in the new order, i.e. the Kingdom of Heaven.
When you love your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind you will be able to concentrate your mind which in turn will help you to gain power. Prayer is one way that can help many of you to concentrate your mind. When you pray loudly so that others see you praying you can hardly concentrate your mind and that prayer becomes futile.
Remember the words of Jesus, And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. (Mathew 6: 5-8)
When you pray, pray to the Father in secret and the Father will know it and will answer it. (Jesus had the habit of withdrawing from the group and going to isolated places to pray.)
Ask and it shall be given; seek and you will find it; knock and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
When you love others as yourself you will feed the hunger, quench the thirst of the thirsty, dress the naked and will give company to those in desolation. Don’t you experience a good feeling when you do something good to others, however small that is? The more you love others the brighter is your light and let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
If you lose your inner light by harboring negative thoughts then that darkness would be very dark.
You must have noticed the wise men of all religions stress upon the importance of love. Why are they particular that man should love each other?
As I told you before when you love you increase your power. When you increase your power the sum total of power of the entire mankind will also increase. When love freezes and when more and more people lose their power (by harboring negative thoughts and doing negative deeds) the sum total of power of mankind will decrease and when it goes below a minimum threshold level power will flow from Supreme power just like wind flows to compensate difference in air pressure. Such flow of power from the Supreme power is often destructive for mankind. The wise men realized this and so they stress on the importance of love among mankind.
Hasn’t Jesus said, Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Mathew 6: 21-24)
If you kill someone even if it is in the name of religion or God and think that it will increase your positive power then you are following a false set of standards. If the pilot flying the plane or the driver steering the bus follows a false set of standards then those passengers are unfortunate for they won’t reach the destination. If you believe that your power will increase if you build big buildings and call it church or if you take churches of your brother by force then also you are following a wrong set of standards.
Well, rejoice if you follow the two simple mantras of salvation taught by Jesus; 1) love the Lord, your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and 2) Love your neighbor as yourself.
Following these two mantras can be done irrespective of your religion, caste, creed, economic status, sex, location, colour etc.
2. Believe in me, the Son of Man
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 afflictions I have endured from the time of writing the book ‘A Day with Manual‘ till the time of my acceptance (refer Lesson 10 Fulfilment of Revelations) 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 (refer the parable of the Prodigal Son). 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 who is the Supreme Power and Spirit the distinction of Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Jew etc. 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 accept Jesus in your minds the distinction of Jacobite, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox etc. will disappear from you. You will become our brothers and we won’t forsake you.
3. 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.’
If you want to see how far we have reached towards the creation of the Kingdom of Heaven kindly go through Lesson 10, the Fulfilment of Revelations.
4. 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 in the Book ‘A Day with Manual’ 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 default knowledge of the children of the next generation shall be the knowledge acquired by this generation, his brainpower surpassing that of a present day computer. A man shall be a combination of the best talents of this generation. Man will be like the angels of Heaven. 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 cleansed during the time of Noah many mighty creatures and the Children of God 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.
5. 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 (an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth) 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 now you have a better chance to be in the Kingdom of Heaven. The following questions will help you to assess yourself, so that at least you make use of the remaining time.
If you exalt yourself in the Kingdom of God can you be a good subject in the Kingdom of Heaven?
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 selfish and unfaithful in that which doesn’t belong to you (what actually belongs to you are the things that you carry when you die), can you act righteously in the new order?
If you haven’t helped others in their hunger, thirst, loneliness and despair, who should you blame for not brightening up yourself?
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?
If you are the Master will you be happy to find your servants sleeping in the dark when you visit them?
Be honest in your answers because you will be judged with your own words. Your own answers will be the measuring vessels with which you will be measured.
And if you are dishonest you are committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will not be pardoned in this world or in the world to come.
Relevant portions of the Bible for reading
Mathew {25:14-46} For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents. And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine. His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divide [his] sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee?] or thirst and gave [thee] drink? When saw we thee stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee ] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Mathew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
