Bismillah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem
May God protect, bless and cherish those in this world who have Love and Faith. May God bless His
representatives, His messengers and all those who become True Human Beings, for they are perfection
among all of God’s creations.
God is the Perfection intermingled with life. Man experiences the Plenitude of that Perfection when he
sees the Effulgence of Love in his heart, when he hears the explanation of Purity within his heart, when
his heart resonates with the Justice based on integrity, and when, as a result, he knows the Serenity and
Peacefulness of the heart that is open to True Wisdom.
God alone can provide that True Wisdom that gives Clarity to men’s thoughts. That True Wisdom
supports the Human Being, fills his own wisdom with Love and brings Peace and Serenity to the Perfect
Purity of his heart. God bestows that Wisdom as the basic foundation and support for man’s life.
God also is the Grace within that True Wisdom that He has given only to mankind. He exists as the Light
within that Grace, the Plenitude within that Light, the Perfection of that Plenitude, the Resplendence, as
Himself within that Effulgence—and, as a Power within Himself—He exists as the Qualities and Actions
and all the potential that exists within the Wisdom, Serenity and Peacefulness that He has provided.
Those who have Love and Faith must think a little. For more than 200 million years, so many species
and races have appeared and reappeared. Various ideas, philosophies and religions have appeared,
changed and reappeared over and over again. The world has seen many different kinds of books, many
kinds of research, many kinds of art, many kinds of sexual acts, many kinds of magic, many mantras,
festivals, dances, songs, awards and titles. The world has seen philosophy books, religious doctrines, the
Bible, the Koran and other testaments. We have seen scientific investigations, investigations into psychic
phenomena, investigations into history, into mind energies, into horoscopes, into yoga and into various
ways to achieve peace, all published in book form. People read such books and derive meaning from
them based on the individual’s level of wisdom. People read religious texts, the puranas, the Koran, the
Bible and other testaments, and by the knowledge acquired from those books, they carry out the rituals
prescribed in each. They soak themselves in their rituals and keep crawling onwards.
But God is the Causal Being, the Creator without form of any kind; without body, shape, color or shade;
without fame or honors; without a name, place, beginning or end. He is such an All-Pervasive
Omnipresence that He cannot be described by comparison with any form or all form. It is His Grace that
manifests as True Wisdom within the Human Being. That Wisdom of Grace, that Divine Wisdom, cannot
be comprehended by what we normally think of as intelligence. Yet it stands resonating within man’s
heart, giving explanations constantly.
As that Wisdom of Grace blossoms within man’s heart, it forms the flower garden where God’s Power
can reside. It is there that the Truth can resonate from that Power; the steadfast Determination of
absolute Faith can emerge from that Truth; the Resplendent Light can shine forth from that Determined
Faith; the fullness of Plenitude can manifest from that Light; the Perfect Divine Luminous Wisdom of
God’s Effulgence can shine forth from that Plenitude; and the Power of Truth that is God is within that
Divine Luminous Wisdom. God has deposited this entire explanation within man’s inner heart.
That heart is an ocean of Wisdom. There is nothing that can compare with that Wisdom. It is a vast
ocean of Grace. It is God’s Power.
It is with this Wisdom of Grace that man has to see both what is within and what is outside. With this
Wisdom of Grace, he can see the world of the Soul (the Original Effulgence of God’s creation), the
world of hell (this world of form) and the heavenly world (the Light of Truth).
God reposes within this flower garden called the heart—within this ocean of Wisdom—and provides the
explanations that enables us to see each and every thing through the Wisdom within wisdom, the Eternal,
All-pervasive, Omnipresent Effulgence.
My beloved children, gems of my eyes, not until you have learned this Wisdom, not until you have
searched for and found this Wisdom, not until you have reached the state in which you see everything
through the Clarity of this Wisdom, can it be possible for you to know yourself, know your Soul, or
know God—no matter how many books you may have read or how many investigations you may have
conducted.
You cannot learn this by reading religious texts or philosophy books. You cannot achieve knowledge of it
through some miracle, or magic, or by engaging in any of the arts, or through sensual pleasures. The
Wisdom capable of knowing this Truth must arise within us as a basic principle. Books and other
methods cannot make us understand this.
What can be learned through religions is just one small portion. Our personal experiences, philosophies,
yoga techniques, each can teach only one tiny fraction. And the man who relies on sakti (energy),
whether of the spirit, of sound, or the energy within the elements of the body or any of the 400 million,
million and 10,000 spiritual saktis man creates, does not realize that he is turning spiritual yearning into
petty miracles through these various energies—yet, he, himself, is the cause and the creator of all those
energies on which he has come to rely. He projects the qualities of his own mind and creates saktis out
of them. He becomes the guru or priest for the energies within his own physical elements and, like a god,
he commands them to perform miraculous feats. Then, he worships that energy.
There are many different books, religions and techniques that teach how to use these energies to perform
feats and tricks. Other books explain the use of other kinds of energy. There are millions of books on
art, drama, psychology, sensual pleasure and sexual techniques. The world goes on studying these
continually. People soak themselves in such thought until their hearts succumb to what they have
learned. Then they go on dying and being born over and over again.
If, my precious children, my beloved children who are the gems of my eye, will only think a little, they
will see that there is another book—a great big book—called man. Everything that exists in all of the
universes also exists within man. All of the saktis or energies are subdued within man. Also within man is
that True Wisdom that will enable him to transcend and stand beyond all these things. First, that Wisdom
will conquer all the saktis and go beyond them; then understand all the seeming miracles and go beyond
them; then see through all illusion; then conquer the mind; then overcome attachments to physical vision
and the arts; and then, as that Wisdom of Grace that sees God as God, it will reveal the resonances and
pulsations that explain Truth.
The cardinal rule must be, therefore, to study the method of learning the basic supports on which True
Wisdom stands. That is Wisdom brought into action. That is the Wisdom of Grace, Wisdom of the Soul,
Effulgent Wisdom. To do that, we must seek and acquire that state of Purity and Perfection that is
capable of serving as a commander of a Realized Human Being’s Divine Wisdom. That is the Wisdom of
Grace.
Wisdom of Grace emerges from the Grace of God, resonates in His Grace, manifests, shines and
resplends until the Realized Human Being’s Wisdom is vaster than the vastest ocean. That is Divine
Luminous Wisdom. The learned ones who understand this become the teachers of Divine Luminous
Wisdom.
Every group may have its guru. But that guru may deal with a section that teaches religion only. Another
guru may teach racial discrimination, another philosophy, and others may teach only magic or control of
saktis or only devotion. There may be many individual sections.
But Divine Luminous Wisdom is something through which one can understand and know all of the
universes. Divine Luminous Wisdom is the Wisdom through which God (in man) communicates with
God as God within God, Grace within Grace—that Wisdom of Perfection and Plenitude that manifests as
Wisdom within man and communes with God. This is Divine Luminous Wisdom.
When we look with this Wisdom, the whole world appears as a book. We are able to learn some small
portion from each and everything we see. Trees, flowers, insects, the sun, moon and stars, birth, death,
everything we see, hear, taste, touch or smell—all become the books from which we can learn. Each
thing contains a story within itself. A person must dissect and analyze each story and discover whether it
contains a clue to that path which leads to God. He must constantly analyze with his Wisdom to see
which is the right path and which is wrong. Then he will see that the lives in the ocean, the lives on the
earth, everything that moves and the things that do not move are all books that must be read.
The Divine Luminous Wisdom that has the capacity to read all these books is called Wisdom of Gnanam.
And to understand the explanations of what one reads with Wisdom of Gnanam, the True Gnana Guru is
needed. That Gnana Guru transcends all saktis, all religions, all caste differences and any need for
miraculous feats, tricks, magics, meditations, philosophies or scriptures. He goes beyond all of them to
merge in Oneness with that Primal One who stands beyond even the beyond of all religions and
philosophies.
It is only one who has that Wisdom of Gnanam capable of knowing all of everything—the Wisdom
vaster than the largest oceans—who will have that level of realization. If we succeed in finding such a
Guru, the liberation of our Soul is assured on that very day.
My dear beloved children, instead of indulging in the world or in meditation, in the arts or in mantras,
tantras and the like, if you can understand this Wisdom and its Power and the state of Gnanam, if you
can seek that Wisdom, you will receive and learn truly valuable lessons. If you understand this, you will
reach a state where you will understand the inner and outer meanings of all the secrets in the world.
Therefore, my fellow beings of Truth who have been born with me, even more than reading this book, if
you seek to acquire that Treasure of Plenitude, that Treasure of God’s Qualities and God’s Explanations,
that Resplendent Treasure—if you seek and acquire that Treasure called Wisdom, that alone will give you
the fullness and the Perfection of Plenitude that cuts away the chain of birth and death. That will be the
good state.
This book will talk of the steps you must take to understand the explanation of Wisdom. This book will
help burnish the shrine of our Wisdom. It will help to clarify the explanations of Wisdom. It will explain
the Truth of the Pulsations of our Luminous Wisdom and of the Brilliance of the Effulgence of our Soul.
This book is a signpost. Like a railway signal, it stands on the path of your journey, saying “Stop” or
“Go.” It is a helpmate for your Soul. It is a car that will give you a ride. It will be a map for your journey
in your travels to and fro. This book will enable you to examine the true state of your actions as you
might look something up in an almanac or check out something else by your horoscope.
If you reflect with your Wisdom as you read this book, you will find that it points out and explains to
you what that Wisdom is, what the Soul is, what Gnanam is, what God is, what man is, and so many
other things.
Therefore, my beloved children, gems of my eye, your research into Wisdom will show you that
everything in this world is in the form of books or stories. And Wisdom is required in order to read all
those stories. Wisdom is required to see that All-pervasive Reality that exists as the Wisdom within
wisdom. Seek that Wisdom first and strive for it. Find the Qualities of that Wisdom. Find the actions of
that Wisdom. Find the conduct of that Wisdom and its behavior. Find the virtues of that Wisdom. Find
the resonance of that Wisdom—its explanations and pulsations. Find the Power that reposes in the
flower garden of your heart. Find that heart. If you succeed in acquiring the Wisdom that can find all of
these, then you can utilize it to know all of everything.
We give you this book as a portion of those explanations; as the explanation of Wisdom. Please take
these explanations of Wisdom into your understanding. Polish them with your heart and then analyze that
Wisdom and look at it. You will find that you are analyzing yourself through that Wisdom. If you analyze
yourself, you will be analyzing your Soul. If you succeed in analyzing the Soul, you will find it possible
to analyze Grace. If you can analyze Grace, you can analyze God. If you can analyze God, you will be
able to see His Power. This is the path of excellence.
Please take this book with love—this book on the research of Wisdom. Read it through your wisdom and
learn the means to acquire Wisdom.
May God bless you with that Wisdom of Grace. Through that Wisdom, may He give you the
explanations needed to know where He is and where you are. My children, while you read this book with
the fullness of your heart, please think and reflect so that these explanations will shine forth from your
heart. And with the Plenitude of that heart, and understanding the resonances emanating from that heart,
you can merge as One with God. I pray to God that you will succeed in your efforts to reach Him. May
God bless you all.
Amen.
