Baba says, “You are now making effort and becoming like Lakshmi and Narayan.”

Long, long ago, Bharat was heaven and Lakshmi and Narayan were the rulers of that heaven. Then, there was only one kingdom, one religion, one language, one hundred percent purity, peace and prosperity. The Father is now establishing that one kingdom again. One hundred percent purity, peace, happiness and prosperity are now being established. How is the Father doing this? By transforming souls from iron-aged, degraded human beings into golden-aged elevated deities. Deities are human beings too, except they have divine virtues. How does He transform impure souls into deity souls? Through teaching them Raja Yoga. This is the only study through which an ordinary human being becomes Narayan whose very praise is complete with all virtues, 16 celestial degrees pure, completely viceless, completely righteous and completely non-violent. In other words, this is not a matter of outward behavior modification that is taught by human beings at workshops or through books and lectures. This is a matter of a complete heart transplant, this is a case of complete inner purification and that takes a removal expert.

“At this time, your life is the best life. No human beings know this. God Himself comes and teaches you. This is the best student life. You children should be very happy that you are to go to the land of immortality from the land of death.“, says Baba. Indeed, it takes God Himself to come perform this task of purifying souls, He alone is the Removal Expert.

In fact, Lakshmi and Narayan became who they are through studying this study of Raja Yoga at this time from the Father. At this most auspicious time in the cycle, when the world is engulfed in the darkness of ignorance, God comes and dispels the darkness by giving souls the knowledge of who they are, Whose they are and of the world cycle. This is the great confluence of the souls and the Supreme Soul, of the long lost children with the eternal Father. Devotees go to the temples and worship Lakshmi and Narayan without knowing their biography. Lakshmi and Narayan were the masters of the kingdom of heaven in Bharat and so then what happened to them? Did someone conquer them? Did they defeat anyone in battle? No; neither were they conquered, nor did they defeat anyone. All of this is a matter of Maya, explains the Father at this time. As soon as the kingdom of Ravan began midway through the cycle, they fell prey to the five vices and lost their kingdom. Then, by conquering the five vices, they become that again. It is now Ravan’s kingdom and God comes to establish His kingdom, the kingdom of Rama, again. We souls become His helpers in an incognito way. By following His Shrimat (most elevated directions), I become like Lakshmi and Narayan again.

His #1 shrimat is: Consider yourself a soul and remember Me alone. Having taken birth after birth, Lakshmi and Narayan forgot who they are and started to think of themselves as bodies. This wrong consciousness caused them to fall prey to the vices and lose their kingdom. Now, the Father reminds me that I am a soul, not the body. He reminds me that I am His child. By thus revealing to me the beginning, middle and end of my story, He says: You had everything when you remembered who you are and you lost everything when you forgot. Now, in order to reclaim your kingdom, remember again. Indeed, this, is the true story of the true Narayan (Satya Narayan Katha) because it is through imbibing this that I actually become Narayan from an ordinary, degraded human being.

I am so ordinary and the One who is teaching me is the Highest-on-High. The incorporeal Father enters into the impure world from the faraway land and enters into an impure body to teach His children, to remind them. He works tirelessly day and night to purify souls- to liberate me from Ravan’s strongholds, attachments, biases, unforgiveness, and all the rest of the manifestations of Ravan. “However, you don’t make full effort to become Lakshmi and Narayan“, He observes. The Teacher doesn’t tire of giving but I tire of receiving. It feels hard when I come face to face with those old sanskars that I didn’t even know I had, it feels hard to see those sanskars overpower me, it feels hard when I realize I’ve been causing sorrow to the self and to others and I feel disheartened. “Remember this is your student life“, He explains, “this is your best life.” When I remember I am a student, I don’t feel disheartened, I realize that tests will come. That’s how I recognize where I am strong and which areas I have to work on. “God Himself is teaching you“, He reminds me. Just because I have recognized God, doesn’t mean storms won’t come. In fact, they will come stronger than before! But God promises to walk through the storm with me and bring me out on the other side, stronger in character and in faith. Let me trust Him; where there is trust, there is courage to continue studying.

Sure, anyone who has recognized God when He comes at this time in an ordinary body, will go to heaven but as what? “This is a study to become the king of kings, not subjects“, says the Teacher. To simply think: “I am Baba’s anyway” or to back away from the hard stuff by saying: “Yes, I know I have to forgive but I can’t forget what they did to me..” or “Yes, I know I shouldn’t be angry but the situation was such that…” etc. etc. is to betray myself out of my full inheritance. To the extent I become pure, to that extent, I claim my inheritance. If I become a little pure, I will only claim a little inheritance. In other words, I will hold myself back from becoming Lakshmi and Narayan.

Lakshmi and Narayan were not new souls that came from up above to whom God gave the kingdom. No; they were made new from old, they were renewed. The Father explains that they studied the knowledge and went on a spiritual pilgrimage of remembrance. They became that with the power of Raja Yoga. The Father is teaching me the exact same study and the exact same pilgrimage now. “Whether sitting or moving around, you are on a pilgrimage“, He tells me. “Simply continue to remember the Father with your intellects.” Only God’s love is the alchemy that can change iron into gold. His mere remembrance has the power to break away the strongholds, and enable me to conquer the toughest sanskars.

“The knowledge of the whole 84 births is included in the picture of Lakshmi and Narayan. You children should constantly think about this all through the day“, teaches Baba. When I do, I become happy and cheerful. Oho! Baba is making me into this, I am once again becoming the master of heaven! The Father now says: “Sweet, beloved children, you now have the omens of Jupiter over you. You don’t need anyone to show you your horoscope; Baba tells you everything.“
