Do you wonder why there is such profound spiritual
ignorance happening everywhere on our planet? What happened to pure intent and the moral
character great spiritual leaders advised us to develop?
There is an explanation.
The Western World is not well versed in the ancient wisdom teachings of
the East. In ancient India, there were many sages living simple,
contemplative lives in hermitages high in the Himalayas
and along the banks of sacred rivers.
They sought to understand the fundamental truths of life – Why are we
born? How did the world come into
existence? How can we live a good
life? Because of their intense inquiry
and deep meditation, they received God’s blessings and were able to discover
the answers to their profound questions.
The ancient Vedic teachings predate Hinduism. God revealed sacred truths to the ancient
sages, and the sages composed hymns and texts in the Sanskrit language to
express these truths.
Sincere seekers living in the Western World insist that the
Golden Age is coming. Eventually, a
greater light filled epoch will arrive like clockwork but, not for a long
time. According to the ancient wisdom
teachings, there are four great epochs.
The first three have already passed away. We are now living in the fourth one, the
epoch where evil and dishonesty has replaced the truth of the last three
ages. This age, Kali Yuga, is considered
the most degenerated of the epochs.
During the Kali Yuga, the majority of humans have lost
knowledge of the higher Self. They have
lost touch with Supreme Intelligence. People
are more preoccupied with the physical self than anything else. Emphasis is collectively on the pursuit of
gross materialism. Natural disasters as
a result of humanities abuse, war and crime, deceit and duplicity characterize
this epoch.
According to the Vedas, the Kali Epoch began February 18th
3102 BC. So far, roughly only 5112 years
have elapsed in this current low cycle.
The darkness remains and will gradually diminish for earth and its
inhabitants for an additional 426, 888 more years. Although there are many imposter's writing and
teaching and collectively people have fallen prey to delusion, there is always
hope.
Hope is in the truth that the goal of creation is to
discover unity. We choose to transform
ourselves and become purity. Earth is
where we deconstruct our baggage and gain freedom as a spirit in form. The enlightened remind us to work out our own
liberation. Don’t believe things unless
you can test their truth. Then, if you
discover any valid truth, offer it freely to the world. The real power is within. There are souls on earth who already have the
purity of heart. Be an example. Expand
and hold onto that light. For within is
the source of all spiritual strength.
Take the time to understand the epochs. The four ages symbolize the four phases of
involution during which man gradually loses the awareness of his inner self and
subtle bodies and eventually regains them.
The scriptures say that final emancipation is possible only in this age,
the age of Kali. This is why we are
here!
