Dear Gail:
You have read of the universes and other planes in The Tiger’s Fang. I will attempt to elaborate somewhat on them in this letter, since you have asked pertinent questions several times.
The creation and order of the universe is unique and known only to those explorers of the spirit. The terminology
“inner worlds” and “higher worlds” are the same, but often confuses readers, seekers of the spirit. The cosmogony of the Masters will be found quite different from those of all other systems. This is so because the Masters have a far greater range of knowledge than other men. Their field of operation lies far out and away from the physical suns and moons. They know about the creation and order of this universe of so many parts from personal study and exploration. They know the words of Jesus when he spoke as spirit: “Lo, my word will always be with you until this earth passes away into heaven.” For someday the lower universe will be destroyed, and all Jivatmas will be put into a deep sleep and drawn into the higher world to sleep for a 1000 years or so until the lower world is either rebuilt or left destroyed for eternity.
This is the thought behind Judgement Day in the Bible!
The entire universe of universes is divided into four grand divisions, each marked out and differentiated from the rest by certain characteristics. These four divisions are named:
Pinda — the lower worlds including the physical which is composed of the coarsest matter, and where the vibration rate is lowest. This is the opposite end of the pole of the universes and therefore can be called the negative pole. It is divided into three divisions — Pinda being the lowest — and
embraces the suns, stars, planets, moons, etc. Here the mortals live in semi-death, a condition of heavy inertia, etc.
Next, or just above the physical universe lies the second grand division called Anda, the lowest of the heavens. Its capital is called Sahasra-dal-Kanwal, meaning “thousand- petalled lotus.” Its name is taken from the great clusters of lights which constitutes the powerhouse of the physical universe, for out of that powerhouse flows the power that created and now sustains all worlds in the Pinda group. Each light has a shade of tint. Here live millions of people who were renowned people of all ages of history. Here is the great golden hall of divine wisdom where the Masters teach each evening, contacting Jivatmas from the Pinda world and pulling them into the astral, or Anda, for learning. I’ve studied there under Sudar Singh. You may study there but not be conscious of it. This is the first station on the upward path of VARDANKAR.
The next grand division is Brahmanda, meaning the egg of Brahm. This refers to its shape and also to the governor or Lord who is its ruler. This Brahm is supposed by most of the old rishis, or wise men, to be the supreme being of all creation, because they knew of no one higher. But the VARDAN Masters know that there is not only one Brahm, but countless numbers of Brahms, who are governors over so many planes within the Anda world, and the Brahmanda world; each plane circling about the supreme region in its own orbit, and each of them has its own governor or ruler.
Brahm was the highest God known to the ancient wise men, or yogis, and so the name Brahm is retained to designate the ruler of the three worlds, including the physical universe.
Jehovah, is the ruler of the first world, Pinda, according to the Jews. Brahm is supposed to be over all worlds below and this is why the word “Three Worlds” always occurs in all
religious literature, Buddhist, Christian, etc.
The highest division is called Sat Desha. It is the region of truth and reality, and its name implies that, for Sat Desha means true country. It is the highest that one can go throughout the universes, although God dwells beyond this, and beyond God is another area, which I will take up later.
This is the center of all universes, the capital of all the worlds, and from it flows all the powers of the Creator, into the worlds below; this is the home of the Creator, but not God. This is the country into which only the Masters may enter; however, they can carry any disciple they wish if he is considered worthy. This is the world beyond imagination—
beyond the concepts of the human mind, and will be only that which one may know by being carried there by a Master.
From this center the great creative current flows outward and downward to create, govern and sustain all the regions below it. It passes out into the universe like a radio wave, pulsing toward the other worlds; it is the audible life current, coursing outward to make the worlds inhabitable. This region is that of immortality; it is the one which is unchangeable, perfect, deathless. It is divided into four divisions, each having a lord of its own, and each having characteristics of their own, but slightly different. But overall is the great lord, the Lord of Light and Sound. There, lords have many names, but they are mostly Indian, the highest being Anami Lok, second Agam Lok, third, Alakh Lok and last Sat Lok. Many religions have different names for them—
but overall is the great lord often called Sat Nam, or Lord of Light. The place is so intense with light that it is impossible for mortal words to describe it.
These worlds are where one day you and I will go live. It is the place where all Jivatmas go—but unless they are free of the coarse karma they will not progress upward, and this
is the reason one must be freed of the sanskaras. This will be fitted together like the pieces of a crossword puzzle as you reread the parts of letters covering karma, reincarnation. For as one drops his karma he goes upward into the other regions finally reaching the highest, and he never returns here. I will give you a letter soon explaining why the Jivatma leaves this highest region and makes his journey through the lower worlds.
Intellect will never take anyone to the higher region. Mind goes only to the second region and there is discarded as a thing of no further use. When the Jivatma enters into the highest region, Sat Desha, or true country, it is pure spirit, and it will find all its inhabitants are the same, in such countless numbers as no man can estimate, all enjoying the greatest conceivable happiness. This supreme world is quite unknown to any of the world religions, because their founders had never reached that exalted region. In substance and arrangement it is wholly unlike anything known in this world. It is so vast that if the entire physical universe, with its countless millions of stars, planets and suns were thrown into the sky of Sat Desha they would be entirely lost.
More later.
