51. The One Original Real Nothing

The Original real EVERYTHING is Infinite and Eternal. Being
everything it accommodates within itself the Original real
NOTHING. NOTHING is the shadow of EVERYTHING.




 The Substance (EVERYTHING) being Infinite and Eternal, its
shadow must also be infinite and eternal. At times the shadow
appears to be small and at times to stretch into huge shapes. But
even when it seems to have disappeared, it is still within the
Substance latently.
Out of the NOTHING contained within the EVERYTHING is
projected infinite and eternal Nothingness—the Creation, or False
Everything.
The Original Real EVERYTHING is One, Infinite and Eternal. The
Original Real NOTHING, being in the Real EVERYTHING is also one, infinite and eternal. But the False
Everything that is projected from the Real NOTHING
comprising innumerable nothings or all things in Creation, is
innately and unendingly dual.
Within these nothings are innumerable temporary nothings such
as, What is the matter with you? Nothing. What did you eat?
Nothing. What is in your hand? Nothing. What do you see?
Nothing. And so there is no end to the action and reaction of the
experience of Nothingness by the innumerable nothings of False
Everything which are projected from the One Original Real
NOTHING which is infinite.
The Original Real EVERYTHING is Infinite and Eternal; in it is the
Original Real NOTHING. Innumerable nothings manifest out of
the One Original Real Nothing. And from these nothings is a
continuous flow of temporary nothings. And so there are nothings
and the no-things of nothing within the One Original Real
NOTHING. When you compare these nothings with the One
Original Real NOTHING they are indeed nothing.
NOTHING is in EVERYTHING; EVERYTHING would not be a
complete whole without NOTHING.
The NOTHING that is in EVERYTHING gives birth to nothing that
seems everything. Because NOTHING is, everything seems to be.
All activity everywhere in creation is but a play of everything and
nothing. When there is a complete cessation of this activity the
NOTHING prevails. When this NOTHING is attained you have
EVERYTHING. Relatively, therefore, the NOTHING is
EVERYTHING, whereas that which we call everything is nothing.

63. The Working of the Avatar

The Avatar draws upon Himself the universal suffering, but He is sustained under the stupendous burden by His Infinite Bliss and His infinite sense of humour. The Avatar is the Axis or Pivot of the universe, the Pin of the grinding-stones of evolution, and so has a responsibility towards everyone and everything. At each moment in time He is able to fulfil singly and together the innumerable aspects of His universal duty because His actions are in no way constrained by time and distance and the here and now of the senses. While engaged in any particular action on the gross plane He is simultaneously working on all the inner planes. Unlike the actions of ordinary men, the Avatar's every action on the gross plane brings about numberless and far-reaching results on the different planes of consciousness. His working on the inner planes is effortless and continues of itself, but because of the very nature of grossness His work on the gross plane entails great exertion. As a rule each act...

60. The World is a Prison

The world is a prison in which the Soul experiences being behind the bars of its gross-subtle-mental body—the Soul, eternally free, lone Sovereign and supreme Lord! Illusion's hold is so strong that the Soul experiences itself as serf rather than Soul. Illusion stages the Lord's imprisonment so perfectly and establishes His serfdom so convincingly that even at the moment when the Perfect Master bestows His Grace on the Soul it experiences itself as breaking out through the bars of a prison which never existed. The Soul's apparent imprisonment becomes so suffocatingly unbearable that it—by the Master's Grace—literally tears itself free; and the feeling of exultation is as powerful as was its feeling of suffocation. The experience of both imprisonment and release is of Illusion; but the experience of the final Freedom is of Reality. The emancipated Soul then experiences continuously and eternally its own infinite freedom. The world exists only as long as the Soul experien...

58. Truth is of God, Law is of Illusion

                    There are two things: Truth and Law.                    Truth belongs to God, Law belongs to Illusion. Illusion is infinitely vast yet it is governed by Law. The 'law of cause and effect', which none can escape, belongs to this Law.                    Law is bondage. Truth is Freedom.                    Law upholds Ignorance. Truth upholds Reality.                   Law governs imagination which binds you to Illusion.                   Truth sets you free from Illusion. Although it is the nature of imagination to run riot, it is restricted to the definite and minutely precise pattern of bindings created and upheld by the law of bondage. The moment imagining ceases, the shackles of t...
