A Willing Obedience to the Behests of truthThe scriptures are the standards for the truth.Scriptures are the recorded teachings of the Masters.Mahabharata, Bhagavata Sutras and Bhagavad Gitaare scriptures of Vedavyasa. Patanjali Yoga Sutras isthe scripture of Patanjali, who is an embodiment ofTime. He is the Lord of Time who is born as Patanjali.These scriptures stand for every cycle of time. TheOld Testament is also like that. The life of Jesus Christis a scripture by itself. The lives of great initiatesdemonstrate the truth afresh and the laws relatingto the truth. Whenever the scriptures are distortedthrough time, misinterpreted through orthodoxy,initiates incarnate and show the path afresh. It isnatural that through time scriptures get misinterpreted,through orthodoxy, which imposes a dead routine.When someone demonstrates the truth afresh, itbecomes clearer for the truth seekers to follow the way.Buddha, Christ and the alike keep coming from timeto time to transmit afresh the truth. When they doso, they are seemingly contradictory to scriptures, butin truth it is not so. The distorted interpretations of theoriginal scriptures are only contradictory. They followthe essentials of the scriptures and they do not giveexcessive importance to the non-essentials which comealong with the essentials through time.A truth seeker is recommended to read the scripturesalong with the teachings coming from the great onesand find the way. He is cautioned not to comment orcriticise the scriptures or the lives of initiates for he hasnot enough knowledge to do so. A blind man cannotcomment on a sunrise. So are the truth seekers; untilthey have gained the truth, they cannot understand theTeachers, the teachings, and the scriptures. If things arenot clear to a truth seeker, either with the Teacher or withthe teachings or the scriptures, he would do well to waitand to restrain from comment and criticism.Scriptures in their original form are different from theirtranslations. Sometimes translations can distort. If onegets to the original scripture, truth is very much in it.One should try to know the truth and the instructionsgiven to follow the truth, even if one has not completelycomprehended that. Never try to comment a scripture,instead try to know the deeper meaning hidden in thesuperficial sentences. Don’t be quick to say that a scriptureis now not valid. Don’t say that! Saying that means,one doesn’t know, that’s all. We cannot be bigger thanthe scriptures and comment the scriptures. Don’t try tobe so big! Don’t try to comment! Try to understand! Ifsomething is not to our liking, better we wait. What wedon’t like cannot be removed from the scripture. As weevolve we will know why it is so in the scripture. Have thewillingness to be obedient – ‘willing obedience’.112 113
The written scripture is but a symbol of the unwrittenscripture. Study of the scripture cannot be donewithout the related keys. If a language expert studiesa book on chemistry or nuclear chemistry or nuclearphysics, quantum theory, mathematics etc., he cannotunderstand. We cannot read scripture likewise. Weneed to know the symbols. One cannot just studychemistry without knowing the symbols of chemistry.Likewise physics has its symbols, quantum physicshas its symbols, and mathematics too has its symbols.Every science has its related symbols – also spiritualscience. When a snake is mentioned in the scripture,it represents the time aspect, it represents cycles oftime. A lion in the scripture is not an animal, butan astrological symbol relating to lion. In scripturesone comes across many animal symbols, one comesacross numbers, which are symbols of potencies. Onecomes across sounds, which are symbols of differentvibrations. There are six keys to scriptures. Withoutthese keys, it is like searching in darkness to find theobjects. One would but tumble. Astrology, etymology,numerology, time cycles, metrical presentations, andcolour presentations need to be understood before onedares to read scriptures. When a scripture says thatthe serpent came down the tree, understand that thetree is the tree of life and the descending serpent isthe involution of time. When Adam and Eva are saidto have put on coats of skin, it means they developedbodies of flesh and blood. The apple that Eva eats isnot the apple that we know. It indicates the desire.All initiates also speak through symbols and parables.Unless we know the symbolism of scriptures we willnever understand the scriptures. Commenting withoutunderstanding is mere arrogance. Just like there isa right approach to the Teacher, there is also a rightapproach to the scripture. Unless one has the rightapproach one would not learn.When a scripture is not comprehensible, the studenthas the facility of a Teacher. The Teacher knows thescripture, for he knows the symbolism as well. He willhelp the sincere seeker with the related keys and alsointroduce those keys to the student. “Secret Doctrine”for example is wisdom unlocked by Madam Blavatskyby using three keys of wisdom – the key of timecycles, the key of astrology and the key of etymology.People who read “Secret Doctrine” will understandthe importance of the scripture, if they also happen toknow these keys.Scriptures unfold wisdom in layers. As profoundas the student transforms, so profound the scriptureis revealed. Scriptures are generally written in sevenlayers. The more one reads, the more one walks intolight, the deeper one will find the meaning in thestrictures. They carry the commandments of truth,114 115
