@ chieveboy
you are very welcome.

i am very happy that you have started experiencing the bliss of God and that is just the beginning.
That is what i have been trying to explain. you can not give what you do not have. telling someone to give love when he or she can not feel that love is simply not possible. singing the HU opens your heart to the love of God and giving that love to others comes naturally to you.

Eckankar teaches you that Imagination is real. anything you can imagine can manifest in your life if you focus on it. Imagination is the eye of soul. so it is not just fantasizing. imagination is not something to toy with.

your inner faculties are being gradually awakened. this is also what happens when you sing the HU. what can help you in being more vigilant is to start keeping a dream book. once you wake up in the morning record your dreams in a dream book. no matter how the dream appear, record it. this will help. you can also ask within to get more insight.

That exactly is my stand. Truth is truth and all that a master can do for you is to show you how to go within to realize that truth for yourself. that is what matters.

The Mahanta is the Holy Spirit taking a form that you can easily relate to. it is the highest state of consciousness in form and also the purest form of God's love for soul.

The mahanta is purely spirit. it is not a human being. the person that qualifies to wear this mantle of pure love is the person who has been able to develop pure non discriminatory love for all life. this person then becomes the Living Eck Master.

In the inner worlds within you the Holy spirit manifests as the light and sound. you see various lights and hear various sounds depending on the plane you find yourself. When the Holy spirit wants to give you a specific information that is for the betterment of your spiritual growth, the light and sound then comes together in a form which you can easily relate to. so you can see your father or your mother coming in a dream to give you a message. you can even see Jesus or Buddha. for us Eckists we can see Sri Harold. that form is the mahanta.

The Mahanta is not Sri Harold's soul. but rather Sri Harold is a channel for the Mahanta consciousness through which God's love flow to the worlds. Sri Harold does not control the Mahanta but rather He is strictly under the will of God and carries out whatever is the will God for souls.

How powerful is the Holy Spirit? How powerful is God?

The mahanta has one purpose. and that is to take all ready souls back to their home where they came from. that is back to God. The mahanta is available to all souls despite their religious affiliation whenever any soul is tired of the play of maya(illusion) and also tired of the circle of birth and rebirth (reincarnatio) and wants to know who and what It really is and whence It came from, the mahanta appears to lead It back to God.

of course they will shake hands. if you follow the teachings of Jesus closely he emphasized on love and he also made references to the Holy spirit being the Medium that will lead us to all truth.
this is really what matters. your ability to tune in to the holy spirit will clear all the confusions about truth in your life. that is why the apostles laid so much emphasis on one having the Holy spirit.
because the coming of the Holy spirit in their lives was what transformed them. Singing the HU song is a very good way of opening your self to the Holy Spirit of God. then you will experience truth for yourself and you will no longer need to run to anybody to clarify anything for you any more.

no need to apologize. i will always try to answer to the best of my ability. The Mahanta is already with you but you have not recognized his presence. if you follow my explanation you will realize that the mahanta will appear in the form of the person you are most comfortable with especially the person you love most. start watching your dreams. before you sleep do your spiritual exercise and ask whatever question you want to ask. then watch your dreams.


Thanks.

, thanks alot, now am good!, but when you said "sri harold is a channel" for mahanta, l expected you to say 'is the channel', do you imply their are other 'sri harolds' out there- or rather 'channels'? thanks.

The Mahanta Consciousness can be likened to the Presidential seat of a country. It is a position. At any point in time somebody occupies it and stays there for a period and when that person's tenure expires he leaves and another person then steps into that position.

so currently Sri Harold is the one occupying that position and is being used by God in that level of consciousness to pour out its immense love to all creation. So you can rightly say that Sri Harold is the Current channel for the Mahanta consciousness. that is why He is referred to as the Living Eck Master.

working with the Living Eck Master are hundreds of other past Eck Masters who are still very active in the inner planes. there is a hierarchy and at the top of that hierarchy is the Mahanta, The Living Eck Master.

I hope this explains it more.

thanks

Usually the seeker is not aware of truth within arm’s reach, because his limited vision can capture only the hard realities caught within it. There is nothing wrong with this. There is always another step to truth.

Most of our problems are self-made. When things go wrong, if we take responsibility and do something that gives us greater understanding, life becomes easier.

This is how it should be, rather than having someone always giving us spiritual, emotional, or physical healings.

The idea is not to hide from life: It is to live life, but without making the same mistakes we did before.

There is usually somewhat of a struggle when we move into a higher state of awareness, and that is natural. The problems in life can be dreaded with fear, or they can be seen as opportunities for growth—and a challenge.

You must make up your own mind as to what you want to do. Consider all parts of your life, the financial and emotional included, and do what seems to be common sense. Then plan and work carefully.

Because of the restrictions of business and running to make appointments, some people don’t often feel there is time to be human, to let others know they’re appreciated. Other people have an attitude that says, "I like your company. We have to do business and we might as well enjoy doing business."

People who have this attitude are openhearted. They love their work. And through this love for their work, they are reflecting the love of God.

Elohim or Jehovah is incharge of the Lower Universes of God. He is not the Supreme God. The Supreme God dwells in the Ocean of love and Mercy, in the very heart of creation and is totally formless and does not have a throne nor angels bowing and singing to it talkless of having beings that want to topple it from power.
All those stuff in the "third age" are lower worlds phenomenon and does not interest us Eckists. Our goal is to rise above the lower universes and become one with the Holy Spirit thereby becoming channels for the Holy spirit.
