Nothing Matters, Only God Spirits

 

Beyond the ken of mortals is the great Spiritual King of our world, who rises from the still waters of our innermost Consciousness — the mighty Lakulish¹ of our lilac lagoons. Himself the unfathomable Consciousness, He holds in His hand the Lightning of Immortality — the Cosmic Kundalini Shakti that is the very mystery of life and death.

The Holder, the Wielder and the Moulder of this Lightning is the one and only Babaji. In the aspect of Holder, He is Shiva — the Lightless Light beyond light. In the aspect of Wielder, He is Ardhnarishwar where He can either maintain His state of lightless light, or become the light in creation. In the aspect of Moulder, He is transformed into His Shakti, Mataji — the moulding light of creation.

In order to form the connection between the descent of Spirit into Matter, we must first understand that as Spirit descends, it creates Matter in its various forms and yet remains pristine and unchanged. How it can be in the Matter of creation and yet not be involved in it, is the mystery of all mysteries and may only be understood if the Supreme Consciousness wants it to be so. So humbly taking it from there, I have evolved a simple formula as a working hypothesis to delve into the mysteries of the unfathomable Truth. This formula states that,

“Consciousness is infinitely greater than yet coequal to energy
which is equal to mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of
light.”

C ≅ {e = mc²}

In its present state, this equation has been experienced by many enlightened souls and advanced Yogis. This formula of existence has certainly been validated by their personal experience. However, even though it matters not to the Spirit, for the sake of the intellect of humanity, the challenge is to prove the above formula as a measured test in the laboratory. Whether it is proven or not in the future doesn’t really contribute to the evolution of our consciousness, because both humanity and its intellect are transient in the constancy of the Eternal Consciousness. Rather than attempt to prove the existence of reality with the intellect, it is far more purposeful to become one with Reality by experiencing it, as the Yogis did. So Nothing matters; only God spirits! This means that, “Consciousness creates the Universe and yet remains the same.” I speak for you here the great spiritual formula of high math, voiced by the Sages of the Ancient of Days:

Om purnamada purnamidam
Purnat purna mudachyotae
Purnasya purna madaya
Purna meva vashishyathae

From the complete, if the complete is taken away, the complete still remains complete. This is what makes the enlightened Yogi exclaim,

“Oh Lord, the Universe, a bubble in my consciousness; my consciousness, a nothing in thy Nothingness!”

To further expound the meaning of The Cosmic Lightning Holder, Babaji is the innermost quintessential essence of our Spirit, understood by the personal quintessence of our spirit selves. The Formless Spirit of Babaji is the very quintessence of our spiritual selves. The Formless Spirit of Babaji is the very quintessence of our spiritual selves. The Formless Spirit of Babaji is the very quintessence of our spiritual selves. In creation, the still waters of consciousness, in creation, the spiritual form of Babaji is represented by Lakulish — The Lightning Staff Holder, arising from the lilac lagoons that represent the sacred shores of our individual souls.

The lightning represents His dynamic aspect in creation as Mataji, and the lilac waters represent His potential spirit beyond creation, as Shiva. We humans fail to delve into the still waters of our own consciousness, because they are muddied by the bedlam of misery created by our own hands, and thoughts. We cover the eyes of our soul with the hands of our mind from the eyes of our soul with the persistent practice of Kriya Yoga, and behold the Divine In-dweller Shiva Goraksha Babaji — the Heart of Divinity throbbing in humanity.

“The Lightning Standing Still” is one of the aspects of Babaji where the speed of light is reached, time stands still. But when surpassed, it has no space in time, hence, time ticks back towards the future. Because the future lies behind you in the great storehouse of sanchit karma, it comes from over and behind as time moves forward. However, as you travel along the forward road, you are treading your past and working out your karma as you go along. So, the future lies behind you and the past is before you, as you walk forward to work out your past karma.

Therefore, it is said that when you finish your karma, your purity enables you to travel back to the future unimpeded by karma. So your future life depends upon the actions of your past. Your actions that you do now are by total free will, but once your free will is hardened in the mold of time, then you must bear the consequences, good or bad, of the deeds you have determined by your own free will. The best way to get out of this catch 22 is to practice Kriya Yoga and live in the Here and Now, which is a name for Babaji.

This is the great enigma of the space-time continuum. You shorten time to shorten the distance; you shorten time to lengthen the distance. Time becomes space as distance, and space becomes time. Time is eternity, and distance is infinity. When eternity meets infinity, time becomes space, and space becomes time. This is said to be the “Eternal Now”. That is why meeting Babaji is always in the “Present”; there is no past, no future; everything is in the present.

The Being that has the ability to play with time and space is in total At-One-Ment with God.

He is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, and His mass is infinite. I have penned a few lines to show how important it was for me to know, and to become one with Time.

Oh Time, could you with me conspire
To relive my past life film entire
Fashioning my future picture show
In tune with God’s own mystic flow

Yogiraj Siddhanath

So, is the lightning that He holds in His hands also standing still? No. This is the lightning moving at the speed of light in our three-dimensional world of relativity and, therefore, this light, also called the Cosmic Kundalini Shakti, is used for the evolution and welfare of all humanity. It is said that Shiva Goraksha Babaji burst forth from the heart of His own supreme consciousness, called Shiva, for the celebration of Creation. In a flash, He unites with the Womb of Creation, which is His own beloved Shakti energy, permeates it with His Divine Consciousness and yet remains unchanged, immutable and free.

This is one of His important dynamic aspects as Mataji, whom Yogananda refers to as Babaji’s sister, and whom I refer to as Babaji’s feminine, constructive, light energy. Although the Lightning Holder, the Wielder and the Moulder are a flow guided by the Continuum Consciousness called Babaji, they are the same and yet they are apart, because the Lightning Holder is the Lightning Standing Still, who is the Spirit of Babaji beyond creation. The Wielder is also Babaji, who is a channel leading into creation and the Lightning itself. Traveling at the speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, is Babaji in creation called Mataji. Now in Hindu philosophy, she is called the Padma Matri or Mata, meaning — the Universal Lotus Mother, later referred to as the transcendental matrix.

Babaji holds the very mystery of life and death. He directs the entire evolution and dissolution of the world, not only of humanity but also of devas, nature spirits, and all creatures of our world. He is called Vaidhatra (The Cosmic Lightning Holder) of the destiny of all nations and beings, from the celestial to the terrestrial. Vaidhatra derives from vidyut, which means cosmic electricity. Vaidhatra also means ‘First from the Creator’ who is known as Vidhata⁴ which, in turn, refers to Brahma, the Creator. The divine Babaji was the first to be manifested from Nilalohita Shiva (the Blue Void of Consciousness) through the divine mind of Brahma. He is the ‘Time-reversed White Hole’ from which creation came into manifestation.

Let there be no shadow of doubt that Babaji is the Cosmic Lightning Holder, far more vast and expansive than Indra and Saint George, who are also lightning holders; however, they are only an aspect of Babaji. Babaji is also the Lightning of Cosmic Kundalini that in turn becomes the Universal Lightning, then Celestial Lightning and, then, the individual Lightning of Human Kundalini; which is the birthright of every person to use for his own evolution. Such is the decree ordained by Babaji, the sage of all ages. Babaji as the lightning standing still is faster than light. He is THE TIME REVERSED BLACK HOLE, from which creation came into manifestation.

To put it in the phraseology of quantum physics, I would say that Babaji is the rarest of the rare stars of lightless light found in the naked singularity of certain super-massive black holes — because light is swallowed up by a black hole, along with time and space. So, the star of lightless light cannot emit light as we know it, because it is swallowed up by the intense gravity of the black hole. This particularly rare star has to be of a superior radiance of sorts. I choose to call the star ‘The Lightless Light’. This dazzling star of very special black holes has been discovered and known by quantum physicists throughout the world. Those who think of Babaji with feeble hearts and dull minds shall know Him to that extent and those who absorb him in samadhi⁵ will know Him in a much vaster Truth and extent.
