Eternal Light

I have reached the inner vision,
And through Thy Spirit in me
I have heard Thy wondrous secret.
Through Thy mystic insight Thou hast caused
A spring of knowledge to well up within me,
A fountain of power, pouring forth living waters,
A flood of love and of all embracing wisdom,
Like the splendour of eternal light.

From the Book of Hymns of The Dead Sea Scrolls

Know Your Faults

There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves. I look to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.

Your Mother

Your Mother is in you, and you in Her. She bore you; She gives you life. It was She who gave to you your body and to Her shall you one day give it back again. Happy are you when you come to know Her and Her kingdom; if you receive your Mother’s angels and if you do Her laws. I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. For the power of our Mother is above all. And it destroys Satan and his kingdom, and has rule over all your bodies and all living things.

Lord Jesus (from The Gospel of the Essenes)

Shri Krishna’s Disc

Shri Krishna has a disc weapon, known as Sudarshana Chakra, in His right hand (usually depicted spinning around the right index finger). While the conch (Shank), held in the left hand, represents the lunar energy, the Chakra is associated with the Sun and the mind. The word Sudarshan means “good sight” or “auspicious to look at”.

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu wanted to obtain the weapon as a gift from Lord Shiva, in order to defeat the rakshasas (demons) that were troubling the world. Shri Shiva was deep meditation and Lord Vishnu did not want to disturb Him. He decided to please the ascetic Lord with an offering of 1000 lotuses, but when Lord Vishnu could only gather 999 lotuses He plucked out one of His own Lotus Eyes as a substitute. This great act of self-sacrifice greatly pleased Lord Shiva, and He gave Sudarshana Chakra to Shri Vishnu. With the invulnerable power of Sudarshana, the forces of evil were then defeated.

Shatrughna, the youngest brother of Lord Rama, and twin brother of Lakshmana, is said to have been an Incarnation of Sudarshana Chakra.
