With my cultural upbringing, the idea of speaking with God seemed too far-fetched for me to accept.  That, compounded with the New Age channels and ‘psychics’, left me with a great deal of skepticism.

Yet when I was told by Holy men on several different occasions that I spoke the language of the Gods, I knew what they were talking about.  I was confronted by all of this directly when Pandit Prasad told me I should go to the temple every morning and speak with Shiva.  Though many astounding confirmations of what He said came forth, I was still uncomfortable talking about it.

This morning when I was doing my mantras at the temple, I could feel Lord Shiva calling me to sit.  By now, I know that feeling and knew He has something to say.  I sat and he proceeded to clarify the issue as follows.

Super ego is a term from psychology that refers to the inner voices of authority you hear inside your head.  It is your mother, father, teacher, role model, etc. speaking. It is the words of those you have taken on as an authority figure.  It is riddled with your and their samskaras… their limited thinking… their conditioning… their distortions. Now that is not to say that you should not listen to the wisdom and guidance they offer, but that is another topic.

The point here is that if you remove the samskaras as per Vasistha’s discourses in the Yoga Vasistha, then what the super ego becomes is the word of God.  It is only our stresses and strains, i.e. our conditioned and limited thinking that prevents us from hearing God’s words clearly.

The Gods do not speak in our worldly language.  They speak directly to your soul as sublime inner knowings within your soul.  When your inner knowings cease to be colored by the surface of your life, and instead become expressions of the Divinity within, you understand the language of the Gods, and they will speak to you. This is on Their terms, not the terms of your small self.

To hear the Gods speak, to know the language of the Gods, the small self must cease to be.  It must become only a virtual image projected upon the field of maya, there only in order to interface with the world of maya.

When your super ego becomes your Super Ego, you can speak to the Gods.

I was asked the following question:

I was in Deep thought the other day and I couldn’t get the words of Maharishi Raman out of my head. “The ideas of purpose and responsibility are purely social in nature and are created by mind to exhort Ego. God is above all such ideas. If God is immanent in all and there is no one except him, who is responsible for whom? Creation is expression of inherent laws in the source of creation.” This just kept bring up the question, “Am I really in control of my own life? Or am I a mere puppet to be played with?”

To which I respond:

There is only karma and dharma. Both can be considered the will of God.

Karma is simple action of cause and effect… you have no free will in that arena.

Dharma is action in harmony with your nature… your true will, which is one with God.  Freedom.

Dharma means action in accord with Nature.  Your true nature is one with Mother Nature.  Though rules of dharma exist and do have a valuable purpose, your true dharma cannot be imposed upon you. It must be discovered within you as you progress along the path of evolution.

You cannot just decide to be free… that can still be karmic.  Just because you think you are free or you feel free, does not mean you are free.  Most lives are more karmic than dharmic.  Most people have less freedom than they think.

As you evolve, you live more dharmicly and less karmicly.  The spiritual path is the path of evolution, is the path to freedom.  It leads to a life lived in Oneness with God… free and unbounded.
