Introduction

The principle of Venus is the functional principle

relating to the individualization in the involutionary
process of creation and is the principle of immortality
in the evolutionary process. It is for this reason that
the Venusian principle is regarded as divine and also as
diabolic. It is diabolic because it causes separativeness
of consciousness into individual units of consciousness.
It is considered divine because, by the reversal of the
process, it enables us recollection of the divinity in
oneself and one’s own unity with the creation.
Beauty, balance and pure love are the three different
states of awareness relating to Venus. Venus also holds
the key to immortality.

Experiencing versus Knowledge

Planet Venus carries the principle of Venus, which gives

the experience to the beings in creation. Experience is
sublime and is very different from comprehension.
Understanding is one thing, experiencing is another
thing. Understanding is what we gain through the
principle of Mercury.
There are two basic aspects with us and we pursue
both of them. One is understanding, the other is
experience. Experiencing includes understanding.
Understanding does not necessarily include experience.
Suppose, for example, I describe to you a fruit that you
have never seen or tasted before. I can speak to you
about its shape, colour, taste. I may also give you the
science of Chemistry relating to the fruit or even the
details relating to the kind of vibrations it carries. All
these descriptions can build up into a big volume.
We will start imagining about the fruit in our being.
We gain some comprehension about it, but it is not
equal to our eating the fruit and experiencing it. A
person who has eaten it has the experience of it and the
comprehension is included. We can very clearly see the
difference between that which we try to understand
12 Chapter I

and that which we experience. That is why wisdom

tells us that experiencing is better than knowing. If
a fruit is described to someone who has not eaten it,
he, at best, lives in its imagination. But the one who
has eaten it, not only knows about it, but also has the
experience of it. The man of knowledge knows only
the name but does not have the experience.
From time immemorial there are two paths open
towards truth. One path is trying to know about the
truth. The man that chooses this path goes around and
around. He knows about the truth, but not the truth.
He speaks about the truth, but not of truth. Speaking
about truth is different from speaking truth. The man
who speaks about truth says: “We should speak the
truth.” The other path consists in speaking the truth.
The man who speaks the truth just speaks, but does
not speak about it. To know about it is what is called
the principle of Mercury. To experience is the principle
of Venus. We can see the difference between the
two very clearly. Experience includes understanding
and comprehension. A mere understanding or
comprehension does not give us the experience.
Someone experienced Sanat Kumara as the Lord of
our planet; he spoke of it and it became a scripture. To
him what is realized is spoken. Today we are all informed
about Sanat Kumara, but to us, it is only information,
not an experience. We know that Sanat Kumara lives
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 13

in Sambhala, that he is the Lord of our planet, and that

there is a hierarchy on the planet. It is sheer information
to us. So, mostly we are working with the principle of
Mercury by gathering information. That also makes
you more and more enlightened, but it does not give
the central theme of the beauty of the experience.
A big volume written about magnetism is not equal
to a simple piece of a magnet. Or can that book of
magnetism magnetize anything? But a small piece of a
magnet can magnetize. Just see the difference. The path
of being and experiencing is the path to be followed.
Lord Krishna speaks of it in the very beginning of his
teaching contained in the Bhagavad Gita.
To give it more lucidly I will give another example.
Two men who were thirsty for truth are described in
the story as the two thirsty ones. They went up to a
well because they were thirsty. One of them looked at
the well and tried to understand its diameter, its depth,
how much water could it contain and how much
water could it supply. He also tried to understand how
much water gets accumulated again or replenished if
a certain volume of water is used daily. He tried to
measure the water contained in the well. While trying
to know what measure will enable him to facilitate the
measurement he died of thirst. The other man, the
simple one, walked up to the well, took the required
water into his hands, quenched his thirst, and walked
14 Chapter I

away to inform people that there is a well where you

can find the waters of life. He knew how the water
tasted. Thus, he was able to inspire people to go up to
the well and quench their thirst.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita: “Do not bother
as to how much water is there in the well; bother
to quench your thirst; experience it.” If we have the
experience of the taste of the water, it is as good as
tasting the whole water as it is in the well and as it
will spring up from the well. That means we carry the
knowledge of the present and the future too. This is
the difference between knowing and experiencing.
Incidentally, it is said that Lord Krishna reached
our planet via Venus. He emphasized much upon
experiencing truth rather than gathering information
about the truth. Even during his time, there were too
many intellectuals and too much information about
the cosmic system, the solar system, the planets, the
seven kingdoms, the Manvantaras and the seven rays.
So much wisdom was available. It was a wild growth,
like a deep forest and people who were pursuing truth
were lost in the forest.
That is what happens to us when we stop living and
start acquiring knowledge. The art of living is more
important than the art of gathering knowledge. It is
better we experience the life that is offered to us. The
principle of Venus lives in us as the urge to experience.
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 15

Our urge to experience the water of the lake, the snowy

mountain peaks, or the moonlight, is all coming to us
from the principle of Venus. This topic emphasizes
more on experiencing more than knowing. This is
where we find the clue coming from the Orient:
“Do not be hungry for knowledge. Start working
with what little knowledge we have to experience
it. Knowledge, when experienced, transforms
itself as wisdom and we live in it.” Experiencing even
goes up to the point of experiencing death. That is the
ultimate of experiences. That is what interested the
grandest Initiates on this planet.

Death, the Ultimate Experience

The first teaching of Lord Krishna is about death.
The primary and fundamental teaching of Master
CVV is about immortality; that is, experiencing death.
The major part of the teachings coming from Master
Djwhal Khul also speak about the art of dying; it is
the ultimate experience. If we can experience death
while we are in the body, then we have the ability to
continue casting off bodies and gaining bodies. If we
do not experience death while we are in the body, the
knowledge that we have gathered around us dies with
us. Every time it is a fresh beginning then. See how
ridiculous it is for us to learn the alphabet every time
anew, learn that two times two is four, etc. If we had
16 Chapter I

a gathering yesterday evening to release three books,

today we know that we have released three books
yesterday. But how do we remember? It is simply
because we continue to live from yesterday till today. If
we can live through like that, all that which has been
experienced remains, not as an instinct, but as the
knowledge settled down as wisdom.
It is like the frog in the well that tries to gain the
height to come out of the well. It jumps up by one
foot and then drops by one foot. Luckily that it drops
only by one foot because sometimes it can be a drop by
two feet. Instead of gaining height, we drop into the
depths of the well. There are three ways of movement:
one is to move forward, the second is to remain there,
thinking that we are moving forward, and the third
is to think that we are moving forward, but we are
really and factually moving backward. The ones who
move backward are the ones who give more emphasis
to information than living with the information.
Thinking that they are making prospective steps, they
are making retrospective steps.
The need for everyone is to live with the wisdom
already given and proceed step by step. The age-old
example given is that we have a small lamp with us in
darkness. We make one step and the light of the lamp
shows us the next step. The light of the lamp always
shows us the next step and not beyond, but like that,
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 17

we could definitely cross even a jungle. The one who

makes the first step is the one who finds light for the
second step. The lamp is so simple and the man who
is engrossed in knowledge thinks that it cannot guide
him throughout the jungle. But the one who crossed
the jungle in darkness with the help of a small lamp is
the wiser one, wiser than the one who is stuck thinking
that the light is not sufficient.

Recollection
Man hears about the Hierarchy. It is the biggest
light we have on the planet. Man is in search of the
Hierarchy, but in vain, because he is not willing to make
the small steps, and the Hierarchy is not interested in
him, because he is only speculative. There are people to
whom even the Hierarchy is very little, so they think
of the White Island. Even this planet and the energies
on the planet are also not sufficient to many, so they
think of constellations like Sirius or the Pleiades, and
still others think of the constellation of the Great Bear.
This is how we grow crazy, because we do not make
the very fundamental steps towards a proper living. In
the name of travel we walk into a boat and we break
the boat. There are many truth seekers who break their
boat in this fashion and drown. This is what we should
avoid. It is not that we do not know about it, but it
18 Chapter I

is better that we recollect this concept before we walk

into the knowledge relating to Venus.
What is explained in this book is only the wisdom
relating to Venus; it does not by itself take us to Venus,
but if we start walking the steps, we have the possibility
to experience Venus. That is why it is said that wisdom
teaching has its limitations and it gradually settles down
as a habit. It is a kind of addiction. Wisdom from time
to time gives us inspiration. It gives us inspiration to
live and experience. Wisdom for the sake of wisdom is
a burden; just listening to it for the sake of listening.
We many times open our seminars speaking about
the unity of the soul and the diversity of the forms. We
also say that in our daily life we need to observe the soul
while functioning in varieties of situations. Most of the
time, as we walk out of the hall of teaching, this truth is
just forgotten and we behave as usual. The only simple
way is to pick it up and work with that particular truth.
The truth is the unity of the soul and the diversity of
the forms. In the diversity of the forms we do not see
the soul. In the diversity of behaviour we do not see the
soul. But we prefer to see the behaviours and the forms
and not the soul. To move forward with life is to see the
life in all. The more and more we recollect the unity of
existence, the more and more the veils of the form, the
colour and the soul, reveal to us. Otherwise, wisdom
remains wisdom and we remain what we are. That is
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 19

why Krishna says: “One in a million picks it up, others

just listen and forget.” The disciple asked Krishna: “In
that case, why should you do this job of reminding?”
When a student forgets what has been told in the
next minute, he is retold and again he forgets; he is told
again, and again he forgets. Teaching is the habit of the
teacher, forgetting is the habit of the student. Neither
is bored with it. Krishna says: “That is where love
counts.” Teachers love students even though they make
mistakes. They are never bored to tell with love and
to remind with love. It is not admonishing for having
forgotten, because the teacher knows that the student
forgets. The student does not know that he forgets,
and he also does not know that he has forgotten. That
means, he forgets that he forgets. How difficult is the
game! There is one who knows that the listener forgets,
and there is the listener who does not know that he
forgets. Between the two there is a communication.
The hope of the Teacher is that at least one student
picks it up, so, he goes ahead untiringly. His doctrine
is: “Never say die!” The teacher is very hopeful that at
least there will be one. When one is found, the work of
the Teacher is over. Then, the one who has known starts
the game only to find one. I always give the example of
the relay race in the Olympic Games. The teacher runs
with a stick in the hand all over the globe. He is not
just running in a ground with 4000 metres. He is a real
20 Chapter I

Olympian, because he continues to run until he finds a

person to whom he can hand over the stick.
We should comprehend to experience. This has to
be the basis. Without that basis, all wisdom exercises
are futile. Wisdom has to be assimilated and has to be
carried with us at all times. As we are walking into a
sublime principle called Venus I have to necessarily
tell you the difference between comprehension and
experience. Without this basis, if we walk into Venus,
Venus laughs at us. Kindly keep this in mind, that we
comprehend to experience. All comprehension has
its culmination in experience. One gives the light of
understanding, the other gives the experience of light.
Is it not wonderful?

Aswa Vidya
The principle of Venus in Sanskrit is called Sukra.
Sukra is the principle that functions from the cosmic
to the planetary plane. Even while we eat our morning
bread, he functions as our experiencing of the bread.
We miss it when we speak while eating the bread. If
we are experiencing the bread, we will not speak; if
we speak there is no bread and it is just eating without
experience. This is how we miss Sukra every minute. In
every event we have developed an expertise in missing.
I have spoken many times about it as Aswa Vidya,
which is the fundamental thought for a spiritual
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 21

aspirant. Aswa Vidya makes us live ‘here and now’ to

experience. That means that we do not jump into the
future nor do we drown in the past; it is living in the
presence to experience it fully. When we are at one
work the rest of it is absent to us, and only this work is
present. We are well focused to experience. This is true
in every walk of life. Volumes can be spoken of this
Vidya or science.
The experience that we gain from the Cosmic
Existence to our existence with the bread is the scope
of operation of Venus. It is not just looking at our chart
to see where our Venus is located. Mostly our Venus
is squared by Mars. Thus, the Venus principle has its
range from the first emanation, that is, from the point
of emergence to the point of our eating bread. All is
experienced. This is what is called Sukra.

Sukra: Segregates, Aggregates

Before we get into the astrological understanding of
Sukra, I will narrate the story of Sukra as it is recorded
in the Puranas.
It is the story of individualization, and once again,
the individual merging into the Universal Existence.
The Universal Consciousness, in order to create, has
to individualize. This individualization is a very long
process. It is referred to by Madame H.P. Blavatsky as the
Lemurian Age. It is a stupendous task to individualize,
22 Chapter I

and it is equally a stupendous task once again to gain

group consciousness or universal consciousness. For
individual and group consciousness the key is held by
Sukra. The bigger aspect of the group consciousness is
the universal consciousness.
When the Sukra principle involves, there is
individualization. When there is the evolution
of the Sukra principle, there is the gaining of the
universalization. We are now in the Aquarian Age
which relates to group consciousness. How do we gain
that group consciousness? Only with the help of the
Venusian principle! No other principle helps us to
gain group consciousness from the state of individual
consciousness. It is for this reason astrology tells us that
Venus rules the third decanate of Aquarius. The first
decanate in the zodiacal sign speaks of individuality,
the second decanate speaks of personality and the third
decanate speaks of spirituality.

Venus in Aquarius
Venus is the ruler of the third decanate of Aquarius
and Dhanishta is the constellation of the third decanate
of Aquarius. This is the reason why we have to tune
up to the Dhanishta constellation. Every time the
moon moves into the constellation of Dhanishta we
have the possibility of gaining the Venusian principle.
That is why Master CVV suggested attunement to that
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 23

constellation for the benefit of humanity. Incidentally,

Master CVV was also born in this constellation. Venus
in the third decanate of Aquarius, is the highest aspect
of Venus.

Venus in Taurus
Venus in Taurus is indicative of experiencing beauty
as form. A beautiful form attracts us. That is how man
and woman are also attracted to start with. This is the
least aspect of Venus and it is the minimum that Venus
does to us: to give us the happiness of a beautiful form.
Beauty in the form is reflected by Taurus. It means, if
we are still hanging around beautiful forms, we are very
taurean; that is, very blunt in our energies. The beauty
of the form is, no doubt, very attractive. That is Venus
in Taurus.

Venus in Libra
When Venus is in Libra we see the beauty of the
behaviour in preference to the beauty of the form.
The beauty of the form lives very short. A man
and a lady see each other. To each other they look
beautiful in form. Then, each one looks at the other
and says: “Shall we live together? Shall we marry?”,
so they marry. After marriage it is more and more
encountering the behaviour of each other than the
form. No more the beauty of the form is appealing,
24 Chapter I

it is the beauty of the behaviour that is appealing. All

beautiful forms need not necessarily be beautiful in
behaviour. Thus, the attraction that took place on the
basis of form, develops a repulsion when it comes to
the basis of behaviour. That is why the love at first sight
is sometimes dangerous.
If we have a little depth to see the beauty of the
behaviour in preference to the beauty of the form, then
the choice shall have to be on the basis of behaviour
than on the basis of form. This is a deeper aspect of
Venus where there is a long term association. The
association does not break.
Many times we see a broken marriage. In most
of the cases the association was more based on form
than on behaviour. There are others who would like to
break on the basis of behaviour, but for social reasons
they remain together. If we ask them how is their
married life, they say: “Well, we are working it out.”
For the entire life, it is only working out. Working
out means not working in! It means one works on the
other rather than working on himself. It is one testing
the nerves of the other. Just pulling each other and
remaining together. How do we know the behavioural
compatibility unless we know substantially about the
other person? That is where astrology helps us.
If there is behavioural compatibility, it should be
preferred over compatibility of the forms. To recognize
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 25

the behaviour in preference to the form, is Venus in

Libra. The one with Venus in Libra is agreeable to all.
That means, to him there are no repulsions; if others
feel repulsive towards him, it is because of them; he
feels agreeable with all.
We do not have to look into our charts to see if
we have Venus in Libra. We shall see with how many
persons we are agreeable. Others agreeing with us is
different, but how do we hold in our being about
others? Do we have differences in our being about
others? Do we have dislikes in our being about others?
Others’ disagreeability has nothing to do with our
agreeing with others, if we wish to tread the path of
discipleship. If you love me, I love you; if you hate
me, I hate you. This is not the path of discipleship.
More often we see people in the initial stages hugging
each other, and when there is greater interaction, it
develops into repulsion. If there are differences in us
about others, that means the Venus principle in us is
sleeping. We need to make sure that, as far as we are
concerned, there should be no disagreeability in us
about others. This is what is called the fundamental
quality of friendliness. Mitra is the Sanskrit name
for friendliness. To Lord Maitreya all beings on this
planet are agreeable. He has no game of love and hate.
He has no policy of ‘dividing and ruling’. This is the
second aspect of Venus. The third aspect of Venus is
26 Chapter I

to gain group consciousness; that means, we feel the

other beings in our own being and we experience the
experiences of the other beings also. For instance, if my
friend heinrich has a headache, we feel the headache
in him, because we are permeating in consciousness
from the state of individuality to the state of group.
But the group consciousness cannot develop by itself;
it develops only through our working out Venus in
Libra. We cannot function suddenly as souls. It is a
good wish, but on the path we have to work out all the
aspects: from the beauty of the form to the beauty of
behaviour and from the beauty of behaviour to group
consciousness. In this process the faculty of love is
developed.

Venus as Love
When Venus is in Aquarius we have beauty as pure
love. In Taurus we have beauty as form and in Libra
we have beauty as balance. A person who is balanced
is very beautiful. A person who loses balance is ugly
in terms of his behaviour. Balance means finding the
brother in every other. If we see others, we lose balance
and we will see some as our own friends and some as
our enemies. Those whom we think are our friends, we
tend to overact with them and thereby create enmity
with them. Don’t we have many friends who tend to be
our enemies later, because we try to do more than what
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 27

is to be done in the name of our own understanding of

friendship? Thick friends become thin friends later and
after some time they do not speak to each other. Their
faces do not blossom in the presence of each other.
When the brother is seen in others, the balance is
gained. That is the basis for love to generate. When
love is generated, the brother is seen as no other than
our own self. Thus, from other to brother and from
brother to one’s own self, there is an ascension. To
see the other as brother is only half-truth. To realize
that the brother is no other than ourselves is the full
truth. That means we live through all the brothers.
By that, we have gained group consciousness. It is one
functioning in many.

Venus in its Three Dimensions

Aquarius in its three decanates functions with three
planets. Up to 100 it is Saturn, from 100 to 200 it is
Mercury and from 200 to 300 it is Venus. This is the
path of ascent as far as Venus is concerned.
From Saturn to Mercury and from Mercury to
Venus. Working with Saturn means working with our
own limitations and overcoming them. Working with
Mercury means improving our comprehension, and
working with Venus means experiencing that which we
have comprehended. This is the fundamental triangle
of Venus, Mercury and Saturn. That is why in all
28 Chapter I

spiritual schools, the first step is to work with Saturn.

Those who have overcome the limitations shall have to
take up working with Mercury, where the limitations
of concepts are also broken.
The first step is working with Saturn, that is the
individual limitation. The second limitation is the
conceptual limitation. We are asked: “Do you work
with Bailey or Blavatsky?” Our answer is: “No, with
Jesus Christ!”; as if the three were different! Be it Jesus
Christ, Bailey or Blavatsky, all that has flown through
them was wisdom. If somebody asks: “Do you work
with the Theosophical Society or with the World
Teacher Trust, with the Mercury School or with the
Arcane School?” Finished! We just remain with our
own concepts; we cannot grow beyond comprehension
and we deny ourselves the beauty of experience. Be it
the Theosophical Society, the World Teacher Trust,
the Mercury School or the Arcane School, what is
important is to experience life. If the living experience
is gone, we only carry the load of the concepts as
donkeys; concepts of wisdom, but not wisdom. The
same truth can be said by one Master in one language,
by another Master in another language and we take
them as two different things! This is how we are settled
to some names and some concepts. We do not see the
import of the concepts. When we travel towards the
import from the concepts, we overcome Mercury to
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 29

experience Venus. This is Venus in its three dimensions.

We can also see the form aspect of Venus in Taurus, the
balance aspect of Venus in Libra and the love aspect of
Venus in Aquarius.
Thus, the travel can be from Venus to Mercury,
from Mercury to Saturn and also from Saturn to
Mercury and from Mercury to Venus. The whole travel
is done from its central point, otherwise, again we will
be moving around and around. This central point is
called Jupiter. The presence of I AM Consciousness
enables walking the path with ease. This ascending
and descending path is described in the Puranas in a
mystical way.

A Puranic Story
There is a story in the Puranas which gives us the
dimension of Venus. When there is the first emanation
from the seeming nothingness, there is the effulgence
of light. It is called Bhrigu in Sanskrit and it is the light
which is the basis for all creation. It is the content of
all luminaries in the cosmos. He is said to have a son
called Sukra, the Venus principle.
That means that from the totality of light there
is a further emanation called Sukra, who was a good
disciple of his father. Bhrigu the father, was always in
contemplation, full of light, just like the silver screen.
The silver screen of the cosmos is called Akasha or
30 Chapter I

Kurukshetra in Sanskrit. Kurukshetra is the field of

action of the light. On that screen of light there is a
further emanation called Sukra. It is like the ray of
light coming from the light. The ray of light is always
associated with light. Without the light there is no
ray of light. The ray of light is said to have been in
association with its source. So, Sukra was always with
the Father. To be always with the Father is the status of
the Son; otherwise we cannot be called sons. We can be
called sons of men, but not sons of light. A son of light
is one who is always inseparably associated with light.
So was Sukra with his Father.
One day, the Father was in such stillness. The
Akasha is always still. All is happening within it, but
as far as the Akasha is concerned, it is always still. The
emanation cannot be still as the Akasha. The two are
like the ocean and the wave. The wave is essentially the
ocean, but it has movement. The ocean does not move.
The Son was with the Father who was in
contemplation. Sukra was experiencing the beauty
of Akasha and suddenly he found a beautiful nymph
(Apsara) emanating from the Akasha, dancing in a
very beautiful manner. The quality of Akasha is to be
brilliant in three aspects: sound, light and rhythm. All
is traingular in creation. Here also we have the triangle
of Bhrigu the father, Sukra the son and Apsara the
nymph. Apsara is the sound and the light that has a
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 31

rhythm. The rhythm is also called dance, and the dance

of the Apsara was said to be beautiful. That is why it
is said in the Puranas that the dance of the Apsaras is
indescribable, being sound, light and rhythm. Sound
can also be understood as music.
When Sukra was observing the Akasha, he found
an emanation from Akasha coming as sound, light and
rhythm and went on following the Apsara. Just like
in meditation we sit with a good intention and some
thought gradually takes us away from meditation.
Sukra was taken away by the beauty of the sound, the
light and the rhythm, and he followed, and followed
and followed. So the thought relating to her had
crystallized in him. It is said that following the nymph,
Sukra landed in the plane of Indra, the kingdom of
Indra. That means, in his comprehension there is a
beauty of sound, light and rhythm and he is following
it. From the state of being, where he was with the
Father, he gradually descended to the state of a concept.
The whole creation is also a concept presided by an
intelligence called Indra. He is said to be the Lord of
workings. When we get a thought crystallized in us,
do we stop with it? We pick up the know-how to
work with it. Any thought that comes to us, propels
us into action. Unless we are in contemplation with
the Father, Bhrigu, there is propulsion into action.
This propulsion into action is called “Walking into the
32 Chapter I

kingdom of the celestial king.” Indra is the one who is

in charge of action in the creation and he exists in us
as our higher mind. If some idea comes into our mind,
we feel that it is a brilliant idea and that we have to
work with it.
Thus Sukra, in pursuit of Apsara, reached the
kingdom of Indra. The kingdom of the celestials
was very splendourous. He had started in pursuit of
a beauty and landed in a kingdom of beauty. As he
arrived in the kingdom of beauty, the king said to him:
“Enjoy my kingdom.” Indra told his celestials to show
Sukra the splendours of the field of action.
The basic quality of Sukra is one of experience, and
to experience Apsara he walked into the kingdom of
Indra. There he was asked to experience further. He was
moving in the kingdom of splendour. It was something
like Switzerland, with lakes and snowy mountain
peaks, beautiful landscapes, not of the material, but
of the blue colour. It is a kingdom where there is the
colour, the sound and the beauty of it.
When Sukra was moving in the kingdom with the
assistance of Indra, he found the Apsara once again
there. It was love at first sight. They liked each other
and joined in a marital relationship. Mind you, it is not
a marriage as we know, because there is no form as yet. It
is a conceptual experience. It is experiencing the beauty
of a concept. It is the beauty of sound, the beauty of
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 33

light and the beauty of rhythm that is experienced. It

is not of any form as such. As a consequence, Sukra
has become a part of the triangle of sound, light and
rhythm and was absorbed in it. Consequently he has
become a potential thought form in manifestation.
The scripture says that the association of Sukra with
nymph Apsara took a time scale of :
432,000 x 10 = 4,320,000 x 4 = 17,280,000
This is the time span for the formation of the planet
Venus.
That is how the light joining sound, colour and
rhythm manifested itself as a planet of light. The planet
is formed in that fashion with the activity of the ray
of light, sound, colour and rhythm into a form, and
Sukra continued to associate with the Apsara.
Slowly, the brilliance of this light gradually
weakened, because it has disintegrated into sound,
colour and form. It is a process of disintegration and
individualization.
As students of spiritualism we are trying to integrate
with colour and sound to realize the light. But here
is a disintegration happening. The Purana says that
Sukra has become weak of virtues. This is debilitation
that has happened to the ray of light coming from its
source. It has generated in him the memory relating to
his experience with the Apsara. That is the birth of the
34 Chapter I

moon. The placement of our Moon tells us the capacity

of our memory and it stores all the experiences.
It is said the Sukra worked with the Apsara for one
Manvantara. Gradually, through the Moon, he fell on
Earth. The Purana has a very poetic, humorous and
mysterious way of presenting a sublime truth. Sukra
is then said to have gathered the smoke of memory.
What happens to us when the lady with whom we live
is not around us? We only carry the memory of her.
The memory about the one who is absent makes us
worried. It is a process by which we grow more and
more weak by recollecting. The memory about things
which are not available, which are not immediate,
develop into feelings. A man who is caught by feelings
is more confused. In fact, all our confusion is arising
out of feelings, but not on account of the reality. If we
have some feelings about some persons and keep self-
cooking about it, who is affected? Our feelings affect
us. When we look at someone and that someone does
not look at us, we take it as a misbehaviour. Thus, we
suffer from feelings more than the reality. The feeling
about money, the feeling about health, the feeling about
sickness, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown,
the feeling of security; there are many such things that
confuse us enough. That is how we become debilitated
more and more.
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 35

The story says that on account of his memory

relating to an experience, Sukra fell on the Moon. To
experience is lively, to carry the memory of experience
is carrying something dead. For example, we have a
good breakfast in the morning. Does it help us now if
we carry the memory of it? Likewise, at the breakfast
table someone called us a fool. Does it help us now
to carry it with us? We carry things that were said
about us even years before. We nurture them, we grow
them into big trees and look for a combat in the next
occasion to settle accounts. So throughout between
that occasion and this occasion the feeling has put us
to more and more weakness.
Please understand, memory is such an important
tool, and at the same time it also has its smoke called
feeling. Memory is required, but feeling is not required.
If we are wise, we will not recollect the past without
a purpose. The first sentence that Krishna speaks to
Arjuna is: “If you entertain the feelings all the time
about whatever has happened, you are not a wise one.”
Do not we say: “Past is past; live in the present?”
Sukra started feeling about the experiences. It
is a further degeneration. If we always recollect the
beautiful group living we had in Engelberg, we
are dead; dead from the present. Suppose, it is an
unpleasant experience and we still live in it till today;
then we are dead. We are expected to be lively. Feelings
36 Chapter I

make us dead; memory does not. Memory is a facility

for a future action. Feeling is the smoke that confuses.
That is how, via the Moon, Sukra reached the
Earth. See, how the fall is. Basically, he is a ray of
light, but only occasionally he was recollecting about
it. Whenever he recollected and asked himself: “Who
am I?”, the voice in him was answering: “You are the
dawn.” Only then he started to reorient. When he was
doing it, there were also other things with him. It was
the feeling about the experience.
When we contemplate about I AM other things
keep coming to us, because we have the memory and
the smoke of the feelings about it.

Sukra becomes Mortal

Sukra was weak, hence he could not contemplate
upon the source of his being. As a consequence, he was
looking hither and thither. While he was looking in this
way, he found a beautiful deer. A deer in the scriptures
always speaks of the constellation Mrigasirsha. It is
the constellation that makes us go towards something
which is apparently there, but not real. In Sanskrit,
deer is called Mruga. We know how a deer jumps,
very inconsistent and very fast. It is difficult to catch
a deer. It moves with such a speed, it seems that it is
getting into our hand’s reach, but we miss it. Mruga
also means mirage. We see how people pursue water
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 37

in the desert. It seems to be there, and as we go near,

the water moves further, because it is an illusion. That
is how Sukra was getting into a mirage and that is how
we are. We are after mirages. Things seem to get into
our hands and they slip. That mirage (the deer) takes
us away from our centre.
The Purana says that Sukra married the deer and
thereby fell further. Many Orientalists coming from the
West, look into the Puranas and say: “Those ancient
Indians had no brains. How can a man marry a deer
and beget children?” The truth is that the Initiates who
wrote the scriptures wanted to protect the scriptures
from those who mishandle them. That is why they
have stated things in a symbolical fashion. Mruga in
Sanskrit means deer and it also means the constellation
Mrigasirsha.
Thus, Sukra was said to have married a deer and
begot children. It means that he was just like every one
of us, running after mirages of life and start creating his
own problems. Our problems are our children and our
children are our problems, because both of them have
come from us. This is how Sukra, pursuing the mirage,
went on producing children and slowly he was getting
lost. Then he was bitten by a serpent! To be bitten by a
serpent means that he was totally conditioned through
time. He has become a gross physical materialistic
person. To be bitten by a serpent is indicative of death.
38 Chapter I

It means through time he started dying, which was not

his case at all.
Before that there was no such thing as death to him,
even for Manvantaras and Yugas! Now he dies as you
and me, and each time he dies he gets into another
birth. So, he has fallen into the cycles of birth and
death and moves in it endlessly.
This is a gradual descent in pursuit of experience,
but the beauty of Sukra is that he once again works out
the Wisdom of Immortality. That is what we also have
to do. If we are immortal, our experience is continuous.
In just one story we have the involution and evolution,
from the state of immortality to the state of mortality
and again from the state of mortality to the state of
immortality. This is what we call the fall from the first
emanation up to the planet Earth. The narration is
true with the planets and also with the beings.

The Ascent of Sukra

The descent of the principle of Venus as contained
in the Puranas is what is being narrated, and we have
seen how it reached that state of mortality from the
state of immortality. It is in the scheme of things that
the son who went astray, in due course of time returns
to the source from which he went astray. It is a law
in creation. There is the work of the centripetal and
centrifugal forces. The One Energy multiplies into
 Experiencing versus Knowledge 39

many to form the creation, and once again gathers

itself to become itself. This is what we know as the law
of involution and evolution. There is a point beyond
which it cannot move further to disintegrate and
therefore has to return. The path of return is what is
explained in the second part of the story.
Sukra in his pursuit of experience of life meets a
lady by name Urjaswathi. The same energy which has
drawn him towards matter has its counterpart seen as
Urjaswathi. He marries this lady, which means that
his pursuit turns once again towards the source. The
meaning of Urjaswathi is ascending energy. From the
state of the cosmos to the state of mortality there is the
fall, which is also represented in the human being as
the fall from Sahasrara or head centre, to Muladhara or
base centre. The rise is through the path of Urjaswathi,
which is the path of Sushumna, through which one
ascends once again from the base centre with the
help of the same Venus principle. It is utilising the
Venusian energy for ascension than for incarnation.
This is what is called the upward movement of the life
energy. The downward movement of the energy causes
disintegration and the upward movement causes,
once again, integration. The upward movement is
conducted through Sushumna and, once again, one
raises from the gross physical to the subtle physical,
and we further ascend step by step into the state of
40 Chapter I

being in the presence of the Father - the Light of the

Sky.
This is what has been worked out by Sukra and
consequently, he has known how the immortals become
mortal and how the mortals become immortal. He is
said to have known the key to immortality. The key to
immortality is to transcend the material while we are in
the physical body. Achieving immortality while we are
in the mortal body affords us the facility to continue
our identity. That is the wisdom that Venus gives.
Sukra, associating with Urjaswathi, regains the steps
of immortality and once again reaches the Father and
thereby realizes in him the two-way path. For that reason
he is retained in creation as the Teacher of Immortality.
Immortality is a very important aspect to be gained to
experience the continuity of life, which is gained as the
4th Initiation. It is the ascension of resurrection while
being in the body. This is ourselves seeing ourselves.
That is how our etheric double visualizes our body.
 Chapter II 41

Venus in Relation to Other

Planets

Venus in association with Mars

This is the wisdom Venus bestows and hence it is
considered to be the principle of experience. It exists in
all of us and it descends through us as the sperm. Sukra
in Sanskrit also means the sperm. The downward
movement of the sperm is caused by the negative
aspect of Mars. The upward movement of the sperm
is caused by the positive aspect of Mars. In either case
it is Mars that functions for evolution as well as for
involution. That is the reason why when we look into
the horoscope of a person, we need to see what is the
relationship between Mars and Venus. The sextile
or trine aspect is helpful for upward movement; the
square, opposition and conjuction cause an impulse
for downward movement. It gives a hint that one has
to work much more to transform oneself, because the
urge is more for descent, for a downward flow. Venus
in its negative aspect with Mars causes conditioning
into the matter and its positive aspect causes expansion
from such conditioning.
42 Chapter II

Venus in association with Saturn

When there is more and more urge for acquisition
of forms, it is the functioning of Saturn and Venus. As
a consequence, man is buried in matter. That means,
he is a mobile tomb, where consciousness is totally
buried in matter. This is what is called death. What we
know today as death is a release from this burial. See
how our understanding undergoes an inversion. Death
is a state of being conditioned by matter. But today
our understanding of death is, in fact, a phenomenon
of our release from the physical matter. We are released
from the body through the event of death. It is
nothing but a release given because we are unable to
release ourselves. We are so much stuck in it that we
suffocate in it, and we think it is life. What we think
as life is death from the higher standpoint, and what
we think as death is the gateway to life from the higher
standpoint. This strong link of our being with matter
is caused by Saturn. That link has to be disconnected.
When that disconnection takes place, we can once
again start ascending. When that disconnection takes
place, we are in the higher side of the base centre.

The Technique for Release

The base centre has a dual functioning. One way it
makes us more and more involved into matter - that is
the lower side of the base centre; the other is to release
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 43

us from matter, which is the higher side of the base

centre. Yoga is the practice suggested for release from
the matter. It is a practice which does not carry any
religion. It is related to our breathing, and breathing
has no religion, fortunately. Nobody has started a
religious breathing. In the name of religion we are
given many names and forms of God, and we break
our heads against many things, but they do not give us
the clue to release from matter.
The technique for release from matter is given
only by the Initiates, and it is relatively unknown to
the religious people. By this I am not condemning the
religions. Religion has its own fitness in creation and
it helps man to gain the basic discipline. Mostly every
religion gives a code of conduct, which is ethical, moral
and social, but by itself it does not give us the release.
It requires a Master of Wisdom or an Initiate who can
give us the technique for release.
The base centre is linked to the path of Sushumna
and the two are linked by a line of force. When man is
released from the base, there is the upward movement
of the energy. This delinking is compatible with the
general attitude of detachment towards things around
us. This detached attitude in life is a prerequisite that
every religion speaks of, but it should be coupled with
a technique. The technique helps us to delink and
proceed in the higher realms of being. In the body,
44 Chapter II

man is tied down three times. One tie-up or knot is

between the base and the sacral centre, the second
knot is between the solar plexus and the heart centre,
and the third knot is between the pituitary and the
pineal gland. These three initiations shall have to be
achieved, for which purpose the Initiates have given
certain practices.
For example, Master CVV has given such a technique
and stated: “When you practise this technique at
a rhythm of twice a day for a period of twelve years
without discontinuation, then the release takes place.”
While we are more inclined to study books and listen
to wisdom, we are much less inclined for the practice
of delinking oneself from the material. Such High
Initiates come once in a while to give us the technique.
There are many who can give wisdom, but the ones
who can give the technique towards immortality
are rare. For instance, it requires a Master like Jesus
Christ or a Master like Morya, Koot Hoomi or Master
Djwhal Khul, or someone like Pythagoras to give this
kind of technique. It cannot be given by all. Many have
given wisdom and that wisdom dies with us. But few
have given the technique to overcome death. So, when
such a technique is given, it is too simple and hence we
overlook it. Master CVV said: “You just do this; the
rest of it comes to you.” The continuity of the practice
enables the delinking. Do you know what happens
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 45

when the practice is conducted regularly? The point of

bondage, or the knot, is slowly confronted. It is such a
slow confrontation that you do not feel the pain. Just
like a ripe fruit detaches itself from the tree, so also the
continuous practice causes the detachment. Hence this
practice is the key. A similar key is also given in Kriya
Yoga. Kriya means action. It is the action to delink the
man from the material.
When this delinking takes place, we are continuing.
Time will no more delink us from that which we have
known. Just like we remember what we have learnt
yesterday and the day before, in the same fashion life
after life, whatever wisdom that is gathered is retained
in its detail. Such techniques are known only to the
Hierarchy. That is the beauty of the Hierarchy. It is
an ancient-most technique, which is retained in the
Hierarchy and is given out to the aspirants according
to the discipline they show. It is discipline after all that
turns one into a disciple from being an aspirant.
What is given by Master CVV is the first step
towards it. It is the step to discipleship. When we have
done it regularly for 12 years, we are at the portals
of discipleship. But the very first step itself is often
overlooked. The technique is also contained in the
Bhagavad Gita, in the 8th chapter, when the Lord
Speaks of the sacred word.
46 Chapter II

We have to understand that Venus in association

with Mars can cause descent in one aspect and ascent
in another aspect. When it causes descent it puts us
in the conditioning of matter i.e. the Venusian energy
conditioned by Saturn. In the book ‘The Aquarian
Master’ it is described that Master CVV functioned
with Saturn first, with Venus next. So are we to do.
Saturn limits and we are to liberate from the limitations
by recognizing our own limitations. The first thing
is to recognize them. We easily see the limitations of
others, but we seldom see our own limitations. Master
CVV emphasized that we shall have to overcome our
limitations by recognizing them and working with
them. Rhythmic functioning is the key to overcome
one’s own limitations. That is what is given as morning
6 o’ clock and evening 6 o’ clock invocation. That
is also what Master Djwhal Khul says as: “The 7th
Ray holds the key.” One has to systematize oneself to
overcome the state of a conditioned being. When once
this conditioning is overcome, we get into the first
step. The first step is Venus/Mars, the second step is
Venus/Saturn and the third step is Venus/Uranus.

Venus in association with Uranus

Be it Master CVV, Master Djwhal Khul or any
great Initiate, when they are emphasizing on rhythm
or on order, they are only emphasizing on the
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 47

aspect of Uranus, because any work with Uranus is

rearrangement. It means that the fragments are brought
together according to an order to make it meaningful
and to make it magnetic. It is like an image of a man
being fragmented into thousand pieces. It is a question
of rearranging the thousand pieces in an order to
gain the image of a man once again. Every fragment
is important. If a particular fragment is neglected,
the image is not complete. Nothing need to be
brought from outside to complete the image. Hence,
an Initiate always says: “You do not gain anything
from me, but order.” Please remember, no things are
gained, only order and rhythm is gained. Rhythm
causes rearrangement. Rearrangement establishes the
lines of force. The force, which was hitherto blocked,
moves freely. The iron piece is a magnet but for the
arrangement of atoms therein. A rearrangement causes
flow of the magnetic current. So too, the work of the
Initiate causes rearrangement.
Rearrangement of one’s own being is like making a
sculpture out of the stone. When Venus functions with
Uranus the rearrangement happens. At the macrolevel
even the human bodies are being rearranged by Venus
and Uranus, which is the work of Manu. The Manu
tries to bring out new models of human beings. It is
about the work of the new pituitary model. Venus
along with Uranus, create at the macrolevel new models
48 Chapter II

for greater facilities. If Venus and Uranus are not well

aspected, the rearrangement is for the worse. In the
name of rearrangement there will be aberrations to
break from the limitation. If the rearrangement is not
proper, it causes a worse situation. Today the influence
of Uranus on the planet has made the weak susceptible
to all kinds of aberrations. Anarchy, homo-sexuality,
sexual aberrations and the intermixing of incompatible
energies, are some of the aspects of the negative side
of Uranus. With a view to work out something better,
something worse takes place. But where the law of
rhythm is followed in tune with the law of Nature,
the rearrangement is for the better. This is what Venus
offers in its aspect with Uranus.

Venus in association with Mercury

A good aspect between Venus and Mercury brings
balance in life, balance in thought, balance in emotion
and balance in action. Whenever we have an occasion
for such good aspects happening between Mercury
and Venus, we shall have to avail the opportunity to
balance the energies in us. When Mercury is transiting,
making sextiles and trines with our birth Venus, those
times shall have to be advantageously used. In the
same fashion, when Venus is transiting making these
aspects with the birth Mercury, one should avail such
opportunities. Those times are propitious to gain the
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 49

balance in the three worlds, physical, emotional and

mental. This is how one should use astrology in the
spiritual path.

Venus in association with Jupiter

Venus in association with Jupiter gives occasion for
self-realization. If there is a good aspect between Venus
and Jupiter in the birth chart, it can be well utilized
for self-realization. If not, you can see whenever the
transiting of Venus is making favourable aspects with
the birth Jupiter. Such times should be marked and
then accommodated for the spiritual practice. Any
aspect with our birth Venus or Jupiter, or between the
two, should be put to good use. It can also happen
among the planets in the sky when transit Venus and
transit Jupiter also make trine and sextile aspects. For
instance, today Jupiter is in the last degrees of Scorpio
(1994), and soon he will enter into Sagittarius. Then
Venus will in due course of time, enter into Aries.
That means, in the sky there will be a trine between
Venus and Jupiter, which can also be used for spiritual
practice. Also in your progression of the chart, there
are aspects that take place; then also you can utilize
the time for spiritual practice. This is how astrology
gives us the Time Key and the favourable time to make
significant progress. When Jupiter and Venus are well-
aspected, the time is propitious for self-realization.
50 Chapter II

Venus in association with Neptune

When Venus and Neptune make good aspects, they
result in experiencing pure love of the cosmic order,
which such high souls like Lord Maitreya hold.

Venus in association with Moon

If the Moon is well-aspected with Venus, the
experience through mind is vivid. If it is ill-aspected,
there is more and more smoke in the mind. The mind
becomes smoky. When we get into the past, we generate
feelings and live in feelings. In the same manner we
also get into the future and the feelings about it and
live in smoke. That means, more husk and less grain.
If there is a favourable aspect, it enables experiencing
very vividly the events. There is no confusion.
This is how Venus in its functioning with all
other planets, gives its different keys to us. When it
is in interaction with Mars, it can be conditioning or
expanding. In its interaction with Saturn, it is buried
in matter, which we can overcome through rhythm
that is imposed by Saturn. Venus in its interaction
with Mercury, gives us balance in the three worlds
and Venus in its interaction with Jupiter, gives us
self-realization. When self-realization takes place, the
three qualities manifest: the Light, the Will and the
Love. In its higher dimension we have the same thing
when Venus and Neptune are worked out in one’s own
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 51

being. Throughout the process of ascension, Mars in

its positive aspect, functions as the will. Mars gives
the fiery aspiration. If Mars is not well aspected in the
horoscope there is no fiery aspiration, there is frequent
discontinuation and there are frequent disturbances
to the practice. This fiery aspect of Mars is also called
Vulcan. It is the fiery will which was very much
invoked by the Greeks, because continuity gives the
scope for growth. It is the virility of Mars that enables
us to continue. These are some of the aspects which we
find between the planets.

Venus - Earth’s Higher Self

Venus is the subtle Earth, being our planet the
grosser Earth. It shines twice as much as our planet.
More shining means more consciousness and less
matter. When matter becomes more and more
transparent, it keeps on gaining more light, and when
it is dense, it will lose the light. When we lose light, the
matter becomes gross. When we gain light, the matter
becomes subtle. More and more we are occupied
with thoughts of light, the matter in the body goes
through the alchemy and grows subtle. So, there is the
relationship between Venus and Earth in this regard.
The planet Venus is the higher aspect of our Earth.
It functions as our higher counterpart. Venus directs
its energies towards the Earth to rise the Earth into
52 Chapter II

sublime states. This is why it is called the elder sister or

elder brother of our Earth, and its link to our Earth is
the North Pole.
Around the North Pole of the Earth, there is the
Venusian energy linking up. The ones who carry the
Venusian energy, keep guiding the Earth and the
beings on the Earth. The vibrations of the matter
relating to Venus are much more subtler; they form
the first and second ether of our Earth. The beings that
visit our Earth from Venus; permeate in the ether of
our Earth. For that reason, it is said that the Logos
and ruler of our planet, Sanat Kumara, is in the second
ether of our Earth. He cannot descend further and he
is a descendent from Venus. In fact, from time to time,
there are intelligences visiting our planet from Venus
to give the required inspiration for the planet and the
planetary beings.
It is said that Lord Krishna on his way to the planet
earth, routed himself via Venus. Sanat Kumara is also
one who has descended and made an abode on this
planet for the benefit of the planetary beings. They link
up to the higher-self in us and give us the necessary
inspiration to come out of our tombs of matter. The
expectation that a Messiah will come and raise the
dead from the tombs is more symbolic than a planetary
fact. Whenever a high soul from Venus visits us, we
are inspired to overcome our material conditioning
 Venus in Relation to Other Planets 53

and consequently we are liberated from the tombs of

matter in which we are. That is what an elder brother
does. An elder brother is helpful to those who have
no Father. In the occult sense, we are all children of
the widow. In masonry they also say that we are the
sons of the widow; that means we do not know our
Father and we did not see Him. Even before we are
born, we have lost him, and only the mother is known
to us; that is, the matter. Who is there to guide those
who have lost their Father? The elder brother guides,
if he is really an elder brother. In the family also the
elder brother is supposed to take up the responsibility
of the younger brothers, otherwise he cannot arrogate
to himself that he is the elder brother of the family.
Just like the elder brother in the family takes care of
the younger ones in the absence of the father, the elder
brothers keep coming from Venus for the humanity
which has lost the Father. When they give the right
inspiration, the younger brothers are oriented towards
the Father. The purpose of the elder brothers is to link
up the younger ones to the Father. This is the only
work of the elder brother, giving the link to the Father.
He does not stand between the Father and the son.
When the Father is found by the younger one, there is
no more role for the elder brother, because the younger
brother himself has become an elder brother now.
54 Chapter II

That is why it is said that Venus has no role to play

in the presence of the Sun. Where there is a conjunction
of Venus and the Sun, during that time, the Venusian
energies do not reach us. That means, Venus ceases to
operate where there is the sun. For that reason, it is
also said that Venus is afflicted in Aries. Aries is the
exaltation point for the sun; it is the mid-heaven where
the sun is all light. The noon sun gives the most brilliant
light. At that time no star can shine in the sky. So also
Venus has no role to play where the sun is already in
action. That is why it is said that the conjunction of
Sun with Venus makes Venus inoperative.
 Chapter III 55

The Divine Path

There are essentially two paths available to us and

also an option: one is the path of reproduction and
the other is the divine path or the path of light. Man
stands at the junction of the two paths. He has to make
a choice of the two. If he makes a choice of the path
of reproduction or procreation, he descends more and
more into the matter; that means, the tomb of matter
around him is more strongly built, and it becomes more
difficult for him to come out of it. The other is the
divine path, where the act of procreation is substituted
by the act of creation. The beauty is that Venus is the
presiding deity for both actions. Venus presides over
the act of procreation for involution and over the act of
creation for ascent into the spirit. In man, the principle
of Venus is very much existing. In both ways it keeps
giving the experience. One way gives the experience of
mundane life, the other gives the experience of divine
life.
The path of creation is called the divine path. It
is also called the solar path. The path of procreation
is called the path of the Pitris or the lunar path. The
choice is left to us. In the path of procreation or the
56 Chapter III

lunar path, there is more conditioning. In the solar path

there is liberation, but experience is common for both.
In the lunar path we experience sorrows, emotions and
conflicts. When we take the other path we experience
the bliss, the joy and the happiness.
The basis is experience. Basically, the beings look for
experience and it can be blissful or otherwise according
to the path that they tread. For both paths the planet
is Venus, and for both the paths the Muladhara or base
centre, is the location. The base centre is the centre for
procreation; that is, the lunar path, and it is also the
centre from which there is a column of force developed,
which has to be formed in the being. This column of
force is called the Brahma Randhra. It is also called the
Sushumna path.

The Seventh Ray or The Path of Liberation

Sushumna is the First Ray of the Seven Rays. The
Second Ray is Harikesha, the Seventh Ray is Swaraj.
The Seventh Ray Svaraj is no other than the path of
liberation. Swaraj in Sanskrit means self-governing.
We are the kings of our own kingdom, and we are not
slaves to anything. To be the master of one’s own life
- that is what is called self-governing, and it is what
the Seventh Ray gives us. That is why there is so much
emphasis on the Seventh Ray. It is an aspect of Kala
Chakra Tantra.
 The Divine Path 57

Kala Chakra is the wheel of time in its circular

movements. Time moves on cyclically. It is unending,
and we get tired. But there is a process to come out
of the Kala Chakra. The process is Tantra. So, Kala
Chakra Tantra is a technique to overcome tiresomeness
of the cycles of time. That is what the Seventh Ray
offers. If we are asked to function with the seventh ray,
we are not so much interested because it demands a
rhythm. We have to transform the routine of life into a
ritual, through a specific rhythm.
When the daily routine is considered a routine,
it becomes a dead thing. In the same routine, there
is always something new. If we can see that which
is new and comes to us on a daily basis in the same
routine, we have transformed it into a ritual and we
have developed enough interest in life in the routine.
Otherwise, everything in life seems to be the same.
Nature always offers something new on a daily
basis. Unless we have a keen interest, we do not see
that which is fresh in the routine. The freshness to
be realized in daily routine, which is otherwise dead,
makes life lively. That is the beginning of the Seventh
Ray activity in order not to skip anything that we have
proposed for ourselves, including the morning and
evening invocation. Otherwise, we always find excuses
to escape from the morning and evening invocation.
There is a way to continue life, and if we continue
58 Chapter III

life, the wisdom we gathered also continues with us.

Otherwise, we have to learn again and again and again.
In the lunar path, every time we start, we start
from square one. In the path of procreation, we lose
the rhythm; we have only the dead routine. While
in the solar path, we have the ritual to come up to
Sushumna. The path to Sushumna begins from Svaraj;
that is, the seventh ray, and only its functioning makes
us get into the divine path. It is very inconvenient to
listen and difficult to practise, but if we wish to embark
upon the path of the divine, there are no alternatives.
Muladhara provides the path of Sushumna. The path
of Sushumna is the path of the Divine will. “Father,
Thy will be done, not mine”. We only say that. Do
we ever allow the Father to conduct His will through
us? It can happen only when the path of Sushumna is
prepared. The path of Sushumna is opened to us when
we have learnt to govern ourselves. That means, we
have to pick up the quality of Leo to be able to govern
ourselves, but not to govern others. We are too eager to
save others or to govern others.
The first step towards the path of initiation is to
govern ourselves, to allow others to govern themselves
and not to allow others to govern us. This path requires
following the rhythm of a ritual. There is enough said
about rhythm and ritual via seventh ray in the books;
it is the entry point into the path. If we make the entry,
 The Divine Path 59

we have the continuity. If we do not make the entry, all

that we have learnt in this cycle is dead along with us.
One of the greatest Initiates of Kali Yuga, called
Shankaracharya, says: “You, fellow being, think of the
Cosmic Will and associate with it and thereby continue
to live, otherwise all the gymnastics of wisdom dies along
with you.” We may do much gymnastics of wisdom,
but they die with us, because we have not learnt to
live beyond death. The Background consciousness is
called Govinda in Sanskrit. Govinda is the owner of
all the rays of light and we are the rays. All formations
are on the basis of the rays coming from the sun. The
Sun is coming from the Central Sun, the Central Sun
from the Cosmic Sun and the Cosmic Sun from the
Background or Govinda. The Initiate Shankaracharya
says: “Recollect that Cosmic will Govinda, you
ignorant fellow. Recollect the owner of all life and of
all light and love and become part of Him; otherwise,
all the gymnastics of your wisdom will die with you.”
This is the secret of Venus.
There is a path of practice and there is a path of
gathering wisdom. All our collections will not help us
if we do not live. What happens if we collect a million
dollars in the bank, but die the next year? It is of no
use to us. Likewise, the wisdom that we gather is of
no use to us unless we continue to live through the
cycles of time. What is more important, to continue
60 Chapter III

to live through the cycles of time or to gather wisdom?

Common sense tells us that we should continue to live,
so that we have an eternity of time to know and to
experience. We will find many teachers giving wisdom
but we rarely find a teacher giving the technique of
continuity, because they themselves do not know. They
know wisdom, but they do not know how to transcend
death. The Hierarchy on this planet knows; others
do not. The Hierarchy always looks to us to continue
through cycles of time than to gather knowledge.
There is a process for it. That process is reversing the
direction of the flow of energies.

Desire versus Love

This is the triangle that binds us: Venus via Mars

landing into Saturn. This is the triangle through which
every average man functions in mundane life. Most
of the time we love what we desire. So, we are not in
love; we are in desire and we call it love! When we say:
“I love this video camera,” it means that we desire it.
We are very diplomatic in our expressions. Someone
has something very valuable with him, and we keep
 The Divine Path 61

looking at it, till he says: “Do you like it?”; then we say:
“Oh, I love it.” The message is that we want it.
To us there is no clarity between love and desire. The
love which we speak of, cannot co-exist with desire.
The pure love, of which we speak much in our circles,
does not exist if desire exists. If there is desire, there is
no love. If there is Love; there is no desire. When we
look to the lives of the initiates, we understand that
they love, but do not desire. We desire and we call it
love. This is our inversion. There are many initiates in
India who have demonstrated love without desire. We
have the example of the life of Jesus whom we know
so well. There were so many men who loved Maria
Magdalena and she thought that she was loved by
all those men. They gave her good shelter and good
comforts for living with her. Then came Jesus into
her life and told her: “Maria, I am the only one who
loves you; others do not”. Maria Magdalena could not
believe it, but later she realized that others desired her,
but did not love her. Desire was spoken as love.
When a young man looks at a young woman and
vice versa, it is more a desire-based look than a love-
based look, though apparently it seems to be love. The
superficial aspect of desire is what is always associated
with that which we call love. The right aspect of
desire is what is always associated with that which we
call love. The right word for it is emotion. Instead of
62 Chapter III

saying: “I love it”, we should say: “I am emotional

about it.” When we say: “I love it,” there is no such
thing as loving “It”. Jesus loved Maria Magdalena, but
he did not desire her in any aspect. We do not have
this clarity in our life. If we love, we cannot desire.
That is pure love. We love a person because we desire
certain things from the other person. We love a place
because we wish to derive something from that place.
We desire a thing because we want to derive something
from it. We are looking for fulfilment of our desires
in the name of love. To an Initiate there is no such
thing as loving places, persons and things. To him, love
does not require a venue, but to an ordinary man, love
requires a venue. To an initiate there is no such thing
as showing love. Showing love is nothing than showing
desires or fulfilling others’ desires.
When we really love, we do not desire anything
from the person we love. In the name of love, if we
desire, it is nothing but possessiveness. Depending on
the state of consciousness in which one is, he gives very
peculiar and strange definitions of love. That is because
love and desire are not separated in an ordinary man.
When the desire is against the Law of Nature, the
experience leads us to conditioning. That is how people
through desire get conditioned. This is the negative
aspect of Mars; to desire more than what naturally we
are expected to. This is the flow of Venusian energy
 The Divine Path 63

via Mars to Saturn, and that causes conditioning. The

more and more the love is desire-based, there is more
and more conditioning. It is like building a concrete
structure around us, building a castle with no exit.
That is how we become prisoners through our desires.
If the desire is requirement-based, we arrest the process
of conditioning ourselves. If it is just desire-based, we
keep acquiring thoughts and things with which we
become prisoners. That is why every doctrine tells us
initially how to desire. Excessiveness makes us walk
into the castle of concrete, or tomb of Saturn. There we
have to wait, play the game again and again. This is the
negative aspect of Mars that causes the conditioning via
Saturn. The conditioned person experiences cyclically
birth and death.

The Path of Procreation

Another aspect of Mars is sex. Sex is positive and

negative. Anything in Creation by itself has no such
thing as positive or negative; it becomes positive or
negative according to our attitude. Is electricity good
64 Chapter III

or bad? Is salt good or bad? It all depends on how we

use it. That makes it positive or negative.
We have to make a good understanding of the
following triangle by which we are able to tread the
Divine Path.
Venus in its physical aspect is the sperm and has its
counterpart in the woman. The physical formation in
the human being is on account of Venus. The sperm
is the vehicle for an ego that descends. The egos need
vehicles to descend. The descent of the ego into the
sperm is the work of the Moon, or lunar energy. When
it is decided that an ego should descend, it takes to
a sperm. It is the work of Mars to deliver the ego
through the sperm. We can see Nature’s intention in
this triangle. The egos keep descending via the Moon,
the path of procreation. They go through the wheel
of birth and death all the time. The egos go from
Earth to the Moon through that which we call death,
and the Moon once again sends the egos back with a
good intention that the next time we may take to the
other road. Moon conducts this work; it conducts the
descent of the egos and sends them through its rays
to the Earth. That is why the nights are important for
procreation and not the days.
The vehicle for the descending ego is the sperm,
which is Venus. Then, as it is generated in the man, it
has to find its descent again. So, the descent of the ego
 The Divine Path 65

is conducted by the lunar principle, while the descent

of the sperm that contains the ego is conducted by
Mars.
Thus, Moon sends the ego, that is the descent of
the ego from Moon to Earth. Then, it joins a sperm.
Now the sperm has to be delivered out for incarnation
into a body. The descent of the ego is carried out by
the Moon and the descent of the sperm is carried out
by Mars. That is how the Moon, Venus and Mars
work in a triangle to bring out the ego that is intended
for incarnation. What happens in the process? The
sperm is sacrificing itself for the ego to come out.
Consequently, the ego gets into the body. That is the
sublime intention of Nature.
Suppose we keep burning this sperm, not to bring
out a child, but just for our pleasure, that which we
burn will start burning us. That is where an important
understanding must be made of sex if we wish to tread
the Divine Path; otherwise, we will spend away our
energies. It is the same Venus which gives us the energy
for the Divine Path. When it is wasted, as Sukra in the
story became weak of virtues, we also become weak and
wasted. That means, we have lost one more chance. In
so far as the act of procreation is not for the purpose of
progeny, we are not carrying out any natural law. The
sperm is not ours. It is given to us. It can be used by
us either way. The initiates only use it for procreation
66 Chapter III

and at other times they use it for penance to ascend.

That is how one needs to use it. When it is just used for
pleasure, the energy which is given to us for ascension,
is only used by us for descent. We are given an aircraft
to go to heaven and we have gone with it to hell. It is
possible. We can make hell out of it and we can also
make heaven out of it. We think we are going to heaven,
because we are pursuing pleasures, but we are going to
hell. When the natural law is worked out, there is no
destruction of our own being. When it is not for the
natural law, but for our own pleasure, we will get into
a situation where we cannot retreat and we will have to
go back to the Moon where, once again, we will be sent
back to Earth. We keep moving from Moon to Earth
and from Earth to Moon - that is all, and that is the
circle in which we are struck. This circle is described in
the 8th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. We totally become
beings conditioned by the law of cause and effect, if we
do not really overcome the circle of wishes.
We should know how to work with sex, because we
have the vehicle and we have two roads. The vehicle is
the sperm, but in which way do we drive the vehicle?
If we are driving it towards the north, we cannot drive
it towards the south, and we cannot drive south and
believe that we are driving towards north. Do we see
the distortions of the wisdom that is happening in
 The Divine Path 67

this century in some schools? They try to show us the

Divine Path through sex.
Let us imagine a crossroad where there is a signboard
pointing towards the right, which says: heaven, and
another one pointing towards the left, which says: hell.
We, human beings, have turned the signboard by 180
degrees. To us, believing is seeing. So, we turned it the
other way and we say that through sex we go to heaven.
We want to believe in it and hence we make a doctrine
of it, and we try to impose it on others by telling them
to live a sex life, calling it Tantra. That means we have
changed the direction of the board, but the road does
not change. We cannot change the world and the laws
of the world for our convenience. We have to change
to tune up to the world. We people want everything to
change according to our convenience. But we should
remember: “Nothing changes; we have to change.” The
changes around us happen according to a bigger plan,
not according to our plan.
Let us suppose that in this place there was a colony
of ants before we came and we have decided to live here
for four days. Can the ants change our programme?
Just like the ants cannot change our programme, we
also cannot change the programme of the Planet,
but we can tune up to it. The ants think: “Oh, some
humans have come here; let us adjust our activity to
avoid the crisis of confrontation”. Likewise, we also
68 Chapter III

have to attune ourselves to the plan of the bigger being

called the Planet. This is where there is the need to
work with Venus and to see that there is no drainage
of the sperm. We cannot let it go down the drain. Let
us therefore understand the method of working with
Venus.

The Purpose of Beautiful Forms

There is the instinct in us to get attracted to
anything beautiful; we cannot avoid it; it is there with
us and we get focused. There is a quality in beauty
that makes us focused, just like a magnet focuses and
draws the attention of the iron pieces. In the presence
of the magnet, the iron pieces cannot have their own
behaviour. Left to themselves, the iron pieces may wag
their tails, but the tails are wound up in the presence
of magnet. Every beautiful form is such a magnet that
makes us focused; that means, it draws our attention.
We cannot be weary and hazy in the presence of a
beautiful form. When we are focused, something
happens in us.
The ability to get focused to beauty is what Venus gives
us. Then the beauty of the form to which we are focused,
makes a rearrangement in us. This is a rearrangement
of the psychic levels in us, the magnetic currents in us,
and it results in transformation of the base nature in
us. This is what happens in the presence of an Initiate.
 The Divine Path 69

This is also what happens in the presence of a beautiful

form as we conceive and worship on the altar. That
is how forms of beauty are considered very important
to get focused and to get rearranged in our magnetic
currents. The vehicles of the lower body undergo
this change. That is why beautiful icons for worship
have come into being, because when it is beautiful
and it is familiar to us, we get attracted and we get
focused. That is how in the East the beautiful forms
are conceived for the intelligences of Nature, which
are called the deities. Those deities invariably carry a
smile; they are not weeping deities. They are not the
ones who are pictured to give us negative ideas. They
cause an upward surge of the psychic levels in us, a
magnetic reorientation.
Master Djwhal Khul says: “Christianity would
have done much better, if only they had kept the
beautiful face of Jesus the Christ for worship, but
not a crucified one.” Jesus was very beautiful, because
he had a feminine face and a masculine power. Jesus
was soft outside and very strong inside. There was no
equal to him in beauty during his days. That is where
actually Maria Magdalena found her challenge. Such
a beautiful face has been hidden and the crucifixion
symbol has been brought out. Consequently, in places
where Christianity is followed, Venus has fallen. When
Venus falls, due to a wrong understanding, there is
70 Chapter III

the misbehaviour relating to sex. Woman is mostly

seen as a play thing and is never seen in her spiritual
dimension. There is a curse on every society where
woman is misused. The fall of man is very certain
where woman is insulted. The position of women is
very sublime in creation. Improper understanding and
lack of understanding lead to the saying that women
are the source of sin.
The presence of women can raise men into subtler
planes of consciousness. There are four dimensions of
the lady, which help us in our life. There is the only
lady when we are infants in our awareness; she is the
mother to us. When we are grown, we have a co-
born, who is the sister to us. According to the occult
understanding, if we do not have a sister as a co-born,
we have much more difficulty in pursuing the Divine
Path. There is the lady whom we associate with as a
life partner, as the third one, and there is the birth of a
daughter to us. When we spiritually work out in these
four dimensions, we gain the four aspects of existence.
In the morning we are born to a woman and
thereafter we have given birth to a woman. That means
the seed has grown into a tree and has given out a seed
again. Blessed is the tree that bears fruit. Blessed is the
life of man who can see the four dimensions of him in
four aspects of the woman around him. The beauty
of the woman is what is to be venerated but not to
 The Divine Path 71

be exploited. The immediate instinct is to exploit, but

if we are really cultured, we will enjoy the presence
without possessing or even using it. What prevents us
to see a beautiful flower and enjoy it instead of plucking
it and keeping it in a vase?
Observation of beauty enables us to gain a kind of
restructuring in the lower vehicles. See the beauty as
the manifestation of light! Do not desire it! Do not try
to possess it! That is how the emotional and physical
currents which pass in us, get rearranged through a
beautiful form. Like that the temples have emerged. A
temple carries an idol inside, which is very beautifully
decorated on a 3-hour basis. That is what is also done
in Christianity towards Mary, which has some positive
impact on us. When we see something beautiful in
form, we keep it on our mind’s screen, and when we
gently close our eyes and recollect the form, we have
the form once again on our mind’s screen. There is a
difference between the form which we have seen on the
physical plane and the form which we have made in the
mental plane. When we are able to recollect the form
on the physical plane, we have taken the form into our
mental plane. The difference between the form in the
mind and the form on Earth is the difference in the
density of the material.
If we have a beautiful golden icon and we look at
it and contemplate upon it in our mind’s screen, we
72 Chapter III

have the beautiful mental form in golden colour but

not the material. Any beautiful form that we see in the
objectivity, when contemplated inside, we only carry
the form, the colour and the vibration of it, and not
the matter relating to it. Thus, we have the etheric
form in us relating to the objective form, that conducts
in the etheric levels the magnetic transformations. This
is what helps us to grow into the beauty without the
matter relating to it. This is what is called beauty out
of matter. When we focus upon the beauty without
matter, it enables us to raise from our conditioning
of matter. When a beautiful concept is settled in our
being and we muse with it, we do not need the material
forms any more. This is a very delicate way of releasing
ourselves from the gross matter, because even this form
is matter, but of subtle nature. Thought is also matter,
and the form we maintain in the mind is a thought
form, but our ability to contemplate upon the beautiful
thought form releases us from our conditioning of the
matter.
So, the beauty of concept substitutes the beauty of
matter. We will not seek any more or possess beautiful
material and beautiful men or women, because through
a very delicate, soft and smooth way we have ourselves
overcome that state. Without giving this technique, to
say: “Do not go about with your desires, do not hunt
for women,” it remains only a sermon. We should give
 The Divine Path 73

the technique of “How not to do,” than always saying:

“Do not, do not, do not.” Most of the preachers tell
us: “Do not.” Only Teachers can teach us “How not.”

Subjective Contemplation

That is where contemplation upon the flame of the

light, the sunrise, a beautiful swan, a white horse, a
white lotus, a diamond or a crystal, have become things
of veneration for us. Precious forms, precious stones,
precious metals make us get out of our ugliness and
focus our beauty vis-a-vis the beauty presented to us. In
this manner we have raised in our etheric current into
subtle areas. This is how Venus and Mars function with
Mercury. The concept is mercurial, because it belongs
to the mind; here it is the higher mind. We are released
from Saturn and now we are working with Mercury.
The downward flow of the sperm is arrested, and the
same Mars which conducted the downward flow, now
conducts the upward flow, because the beautiful form
is contemplated in the heart or in the forehead. If we
maintain such a form in meditation, the eyebrow centre
widens. If we see worried faces in meditation, it means
74 Chapter III

that nothing is being contemplated. Since we maintain

the beauty of the form and we are focussed upon it in
our mind’s screen, our entire forehead is filled with the
light. There is a smile on our lips when we meditate,
just like we smile when we see a beautiful form. We
choose the most beautiful form, forming the etheric
version in the mind’s screen, and release ourselves from
the desire of the dense physical.
The currents raise upwards and come up to the
Ajna centre. That is how the Kundalini is raised,
not by pushing it strenuously. We cannot push it; it
happens when we take to a process. The beauty of the
form is now substituted by the beauty of the concept
that we hold on our mind’s screen and consequently
the upward flow begins as against the downward flow.
Mars by itself cannot be blamed. It is now the same
Mars conducting the upward movement. We have now
chosen to contemplate on our forehead a beautiful
form and Mars conducts the upward way. This is how
the direction is reversed by Mars, because we are no
more looking into the objectivity for beauty. We are
looking into the subjectivity and hence Mars reversed
the process.

Devayana - The Divine Path

Venus is raised once again through this process.
The Venus which we have killed earlier, raises again
 The Divine Path 75

in great splendour. It is the Venusian magnetism that

keeps functioning through us. That is the reason why
Venus is said to carry the double path with him. Sukra
is said to be the preceptor of the Asuras. Asuras means
demons in Sanskrit. He is also said to be the teacher
who can give us the key of immortality. He has both
the techniques with him. He can show us the path
towards involution and the path towards evolution.
That is why it is said that Sukra has given birth to a
daughter, whose name is Devayana, the divine path.
Now there is a path for divine manifesting through
Venus; hence, through that path the divine beings start
coming to Earth.
When we have made a road from south to north,
not only the beings from south go to north, but it also
enables the beings of the north to come to the south.
This path is made for us to ascend into the light. It
is therefore called the path of the divine, Devayana,
the solar path or the path of Sushumna. When once
this path is made, it also facilitates the divine beings
to tread the path from above downwards. That is the
reason why it is said that great Initiates and Gurus keep
coming to Earth from Venus. It is a two-way path for
the beings to become divine and for the divine beings
to descend to Earth. This is the contract made between
Venus and Earth, which is worked out by Sukra. It is
born out of him and hence Devayana is said to be the
76 Chapter III

daughter of Sukra. If any divine being of a high order

intends descending on Earth, they have a highway to
follow. That is the path of Devayana, the divine path
marked out by Venus. When the divine path is thus
made and we have settled in our forehead, we have
found a meeting place with the divine. We find a
meeting place in the heart with the semi-divine. When
we ascend and reach the heart, we meet the semi-
human/ semi-divine beings whom we call the Masters
of Wisdom. When we proceed further up to the Ajna
centre, we will start meeting the divine beings.
Thus, we have developed a two-way path to meet
the divine and come back to the human. This is how
the link is established between the human and the
divine. Consequently, we can function with the facility
bringing the divine to the human, because the divine
beings need a human vehicle to function. It is the
divine functioning through a human whom we call the
Initiate. In-between, we meet the semi-divine who gives
us the guidance. The Hierarchy, or the Initiates, gives
us the guidance to tread the path. They are the ones
who call us up from the heart centre. People who are in
the base centre are pulled up by the Initiates through
such technique and are instituted in the heart centre.
Then there is a further call from the Higher Circles
and the resonance is felt around the Ajna Centre. That
 The Divine Path 77

means we are now linked to the divine and thereafter

we shall function according to the plan.
The divine path is the path that gives the facility to
meet the divine and to come back to the human. On a
daily basis the Initiate conducts his meeting with the
divine. It is in silence and in loneliness. According to
the plan conceived he comes out and works. Don’t we
see this in the life of Jesus also? He frequently retired
into the hills and came out to do his next task. This
path is also described in the Western scriptures as the
Jacob’s ladder. Brahma Randra or Sushumna are the
ancient names relating to it. When this happens and
we meet the divine in our Ajna centre, it is astrologically
presented as the work of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter.

The work of Venus is complete when Jupiter figures

in. Jupiter is a representative of the unknown. When
the unknown is met by the known, the programme of
Venus is complete. That is how we need to work with
Venus. When once Jupiter figures in, Venus ceases and
the higher aspect of Venus, which is Neptune, starts
functioning.
78 Chapter III

To think of Neptune now is too early. In our

individual astrological chart, we shall have to complete
our work with Venus. Only then we can think of
Neptune. The Hierarchy works with this triangle to
pour down Pure Love of the second Ray via Jupiter,
Venus and Mercury.
We are now working with Venus and hence Neptune
is the future programme. This is the astrological way
of presenting the path of ascent and it is the secret of
intelligent utilization of the sperm in us. This is called
the path of the Mother or the Divine Female Path.
That is why Devayana is said to be the daughter of
Sukra.
This is the central theme of Venus. There are other
details about Venus, but they are only for informative
value, like the colour aspect of Venus, as the entire
colour is predominantly under the influence of
Venus, the sound aspect of Venus, and about Sanat
Kumara and the relationship with him. These are only
information to us now. The important thing is this
practical working with Venus. Once this is worked out,
 The Divine Path 79

all other information become a reality. Otherwise we

have to satisfy ourselves with books.
We have briefly understood the path which is
mentioned here as Devayana. It is the path of ascension
and it is also called the process of resurrection.
Resurrection is what was described in its detail by
conscious utilization of the spermatozoa by attuning
to the path of beauty. We have seen beauty as desire,
beauty as a concept and beauty as love. These three
aspects can also be seen as:
1. Glamour for beauty, which is very familiar to all
beings,
2. Love of beauty,
3. Love as beauty.
This is how the ascension takes place gradually
when we adopt to a beautiful form in our meditation.
The very basic nature of the lower vehicles gets
transformed and then the psychic levels are rearranged
and the magnetic currents find their arrangement. The
energies are called up from Muladhara or base centre
to the Heart centre and from the Heart centre to the
Ajna Centre. When there is this upward movement,
the link with matter is gradually released. This release
of the link with matter causes immortality. That is the
science of immortality.

 Chapter IV 81

The Path to Immortality

When we take out the etheric form of a beautiful

article, we are gradually released from the matter. The
constant functioning with it, enables us to disassociate
with matter, which does not mean rejection of matter.
There is a difference between living in a tomb and living
in a house. When we are in the tomb, we have no way
to come out of it; we are buried deep down in matter.
A house is different; in a house, we have the facility
to go out and come in. We should have the body as
a house but not as a tomb. While a house is given to
us by nature, we make a tomb out of it. The process
explained helps us to find exits. Sushumna is the exit
path. Through that, we will ourselves realize that we
are no more conditioned by matter. Others need not
tell us that we went through an initiation and that we
have overcome matter. If others confer initiation on
us, it is business. Initiations never happen in that way.
How do we know that we are released from matter?
We tell everyone that we are released from matter and
make many claims that we have seen Lord Maitreya or
Master Djwhal Khul, that they visit us daily and we
visit them. As we have no work, we try to visit them,
82 Chapter IV

but they have enough work and they have no time to

visit us for nothing.
The one who has gained immortality knows by
himself that he has gained it; others don’t have to confer
it on him. How does one know about it? We will see
ourselves before ourselves. If we are able to see our own
image before ourselves, we will be able to see a Master.
Before that if we say that we have seen a Master, it
is only our mental projection. There are two ways of
realizing or visualizing the Master; one is our mental
or astral projection, the other is the real presence of
the Master. Whether the Master is really present or
not, is known to us if we have the experience of seeing
ourselves before us. That is the proof of immortality;
nothing else.
We will meet the etheric beings of the planet the
moment we are released from matter. That is the first
bonus we are given. When we have worked out through
the technique of beauty to overcome matter, the first
thing that we see is ourselves. We will know how we are
in our own body. Just as in a house, we are in the body.
It is not a vague example when we say that the body is
the house; it is a precise example.

The Etheric Form

Imagine that we are standing in the centre of a hall.
Imagine that instead of the hall, the body is the hall
 The Path to Immortality 83

and within the body we are just like in the hall, but not
stuck to the hall. Every human being has the dimension
of his own thumb. That is our mini-form, and the
body is our maxi-form. The little thing inside the body,
which is “I Am”, stands exactly as I am standing here.
The real inner being stands in a posture according to
which the outer physical form takes the shape. That is
our etheric form, and that which we know is our gross
form. The etheric form can move anywhere. It moves
out of the house, because it is delinked with the house
called the body. That is how we will find ourselves. If
we sit in meditation, our etheric double also appears
to us in the same posture. When we scratch our nose,
it also scratches. With that body we can go anywhere
without requiring an aircraft ticket. It is for this gross
body for which we pay so much. When we have seen
our inner image this way, then we have also the facility
to see the ones whom we venerate. We have gained our
real potential form, which is our blueprint.
The plan of a hotel can be drawn on a small paper
and it is such a big building when it is constructed.
So also, our blueprint is responsible for the form we
have. Inside is our real being, which we are as our
etheric form, and it is exactly the same as we look -
except that one is etheric and the other is gross. This
gross form gets destroyed, but the etheric form does
not. We can once again gain form with continuity in
84 Chapter IV

another body. This is how we can live through bodies.

When we have gained this consciousness, we can see
our body sleeping on the bed. There are some people
who see themselves in dreams; they have a prospect
to gain this consciousness. This is what enables us to
gain our real form, our etheric form. When this etheric
form is gained, the loss of the physical form is not our
dissolution or death*. This is what is called the state of
immortality.
We can function with greater facility. We will see our
own blueprint in a golden aura while we see our gross
physical body lying on the bed. We can go around,
come back and get into it. Just like we see our house,
we get into it and we get out of it according to the
work. When we have grown further in light, we will see
that the colour of our etheric form is blue, which is a
blind for white. A deep white colour appears optically
as blue. The man of the thumb size sees himself in
brilliant white - which is also a body. He sees another
body in golden yellow and still another body - the gross
body. This is how the realization gradually takes place.
If any one of us has this experience, he is immortal.
This is the immortality which we need to gain, for
which the technique is being given through Venus.
The continuity is there and whatever is gained as
wisdom is progressive. If we can gain that state while
we are in the body, the purpose of getting into a human
 The Path to Immortality 85

body is fulfilled. That is why to be in a human body

is considered to be an opportunity. It affords us an
opportunity to grow immortal. When the opportunity
is not utilized, we move in the wheel of birth and
death. This is the lunar path or the path of the Pitris,
which is called Pitriyana in Sanskrit. The other path is
Devayana, the divine path. We have the two paths thus
available to us. Even when we have taken to the divine
path, we can continue to live in the body; we are there
even while the body decays.
This is what exactly Venus gives us: an opportunity.
We are the sparks coming from the source of light. We
have the path of divinity, called Devayana, and the
path of conditioning, called Pitriyana. Venus presides
over both. Devayana is the solar path to light and
Pitriyana is the lunar path to Earth.

Devayani and Pitriyani

Sukra has given birth to a daughter called Devayani,
who was married to a king called Yayati. Yayati is the
spiritual spark in each one of us. To marry the lady
Devayani means that he has taken to the immortal
86 Chapter IV

path. But the king was not satisfied with the marriage
with Devayani and he married Pitriyani, the lady
coming from the other channel, the mortal path. He
has children coming from both the ladies. That means
the spiritual spark has always two possibilities. It can
do something in terms of mortal actions and create
certain mortal things, which die through time, and it
can also give birth to certain things which do not die
through time.
Thus, the spiritual deity or the spiritual spark has
two wives. Devayani, who enables the descent of the
divine is also called Sri Devi; Pitriyani, who gives birth
to mortal beings, is called Bhu Devi, or the earthy
one. The two are always with the Lord. That is why
the Lord is said to have two ladies. He gives birth to
mortal beings through one lady and to immortal beings
through the other lady. That is why the planet carries
the beings coming from the two sources. The theory
of evolution given by Darwin speaks of the mortal
beings coming out of Pitriyani; that is, from mineral
to plant, from plant to animal, and from animal to
human. This evolution relates to the evolution of
the mortal being. But there is also the simultaneous
birth of immortal beings who reach the Earth to give
the Law to the mortals. That is how the kings and
the priests, in the beginning, came down to give the
Law to the mortals. Whenever there is a need to give
 The Path to Immortality 87

the Law or to establish the Law, the immortal divine

beings keep channelling themselves to Earth through
the divine path or Devayana. When there is too much
conflict and disregard for the natural law, leading to
self-destruction, there is a channel open for the divine
and immortal beings to come down and establish the
law. Those are the ones who descend through the
divine path.
Man is a double being. There is a mind relating to
the body, which is called Chitta in Sanskrit and there
is a mind relating to the soul, which is called Buddhi
in Sanskrit. If Buddhi prevails, we follow the Law; if
Chitta prevails, we follow the animal instincts.
What we are learning is to find our real being as
the blueprint inside. Then we can get into the divine
and immortal aspect of creation. Consequently, we do
not fall into the wheel of birth and death and time
does not sweep us away. We continue to live during
creation with the identity known to us and which
Venus bestows on us.
The individual story and the story of the planet are
the same. We are spiritual sparks and we have the scope
for mortal and immortal actions resulting in mortal
and immortal products. Even with the planet, it was
so. The planet had the king Yayati and he had two
ladies: the divine lady, called Devayani, who gave birth
88 Chapter IV

to initiates or high souls, and Pitriyani, who gave birth

to mortals.
Devayani gives birth to suras- beings of light, sons
of light. Pitriyani gives birth to Asuras - beings without
light, sons of darkness, sons of the blind.

The Mahabharata War

It so happened, that the sons of darkness seized the
kingdom from the Father and denied it to the sons
of light. This is common because the mortals believe
in occupation, they believe in aggression, offense and
in exploitation. The sons of darkness who ruled the
kingdom were called the kings of Earth. The sons of
light do not seek that kingdom at all. They do not seek
the kingdom of Earth. They have the least interest in
earthy things. They always live in the kingdom of God.
They are kings in their own kingdoms. The others are
kings because they rule over a portion of the Earth.
That is why when Jesus was asked: “Are you a king? Are
you a king to be?”, he said: “Yes, I am; I am the king of
kings. My kingdom is not the Earth but of a different
kingdom. That is the kingdom of my Father, of which
I am the king, and I have come to recruit people into
that kingdom,” he was more insulted than respected,
because he came from the Light and tried to give the
kingdom of God, but nobody was willing to receive it.
 The Path to Immortality 89

There is always a fight between the sons of light

and the sons of the blind. That is the story of the
Mahabharata War. The sons of the blind and the
sons of light are at war. The sons of light want the
establishment of the law, and the sons of the blind
want the establishment of individual rights. The fight
is always there. Please remember that in humanity
both exist. The Mahabharata tells us the proportion
between them is hundred versus five.
The hundred sons of the blind are against the five
sons of light. The proportion always remains like
that among human beings in Kali Yuga. There is the
assistance coming to the sons of light from Krishna.
The Lord himself is the great strength behind the sons
of light. What was the strength of the smart looking
young man who moved in the desert of Judea and the
lake of Galilea? The strength was the Father. That is
the strength the sons of light always carry. They don’t
look for security as others do; their sense of security
is different. They conduct the Law of their Father. In
conducting it, they are fearless and, if required, they
would even sacrifice themselves in the process. It is
only a sacrifice of the body, but not of the inner one.
Nobody can destroy the inner blueprint. That remains.
That is what Krishna tells Arjuna at the beginning
of the Mahabharata war: “Only the house is destroyed,
not the being. Don’t worry about it. The idea is to give
90 Chapter IV

them good houses instead of tombs. They suffer and

suffocate in their tombs, and throughout they demand
the destruction of the tombs so that they can walk into
better houses again. Hence, since you wish to protect
the Law, conduct the war and help them.”
On one side, the light functions coming from the
divine path, and on the other side, the mortal sons
behave by trying to trespass the natural Law. From
time-to-time people are recruited from the kingdom
of the mortals into the kingdom of the immortals. The
Hierarchy is the bridge by which the mortals can cross
over to be immortal. That is the facility created on
account of the existence of the divine path. From time
to time, through the divine path, there are beings who
visit the planet and keep helping the Law. The mortals
are inspired by the sense of achievement. To them the
sense of achievement is very great, but for the sons
of light, on the contrary, it is the sense of being. The
sense of being gives poise and harmony. The sense of
accomplishment puts them to dynamics; that is, they
are always put to charge. They live in tension, they
have the fear of not achieving and have the jealousy
against those who have achieved.
The children of light are called Pandus and the
children of darkness are called Kurus.
 The Path to Immortality 91

The Mind of The Body

Mercury, the light of the soul, is also called the
mind of the soul, whom we call the Manu. Jupiter
is the love of the soul; that is, Synthesis. Earth is the
physical form. The body also carries the body of light,
which is the etheric body* which comes to us through
Venus. Mercury is the light of the soul and, in one
dimension, Venus is the light of the body. The soul has
its mind. The Moon is the mind of the body. Mars is
the lower aspect of Venus. Venus, when coupled with
Mars, forms the emotional body.
There is the physical body, represented by the Earth,
the emotional body, which is a combination of the
negative of Mars with Venus, there is the etheric body
or body of light, represented by Venus and there is the
mind of the body. The mind of the body is the one that
always tells us the requirements of the body. This mind
is developed through the passage of the mineral, plant,
animal and human kingdom. How this mind of the
body is developed, we can study in the book “Letters
on Occult Meditation,” written by Alice A. Bailey. I
will give a brief understanding of it.
The self and the non-self (the soul & the body)
are approximated by means of the mind. Mind is the
linking principle of the spiritual triad and the material
triad. Mind is the intelligence that links up the highest
* To know more about how to build the etheric body, you may refer to the
book titled “The Etheric Body” by the same author.
92 Chapter IV

spirit and the grossest matter. When the physical body

is well co-ordinated, the emotional body is well guided
by instinct, when repeated instinctive actions lead to
impressions that settle down as memory and when
correlative ideas are forming, then the animal is ripe
for entry into the human kingdom.
The animal form thus well developed, is occupied
by the spiritual triad or rather taken possession by
the latter. This is the state of the centaur symbolically
speaking, that the body carries its own mind to remind
the bodily needs and requirements, while the soul
carries its light as wisdom (higher mind). Man is thus
guided both by the body’s instincts and by the wisdom
of the soul. It is regulated in the formation of a causal
body which keeps the composite spirit/matter triads
together.
We become a complete man when the mind of the
body and the mind of soul are linked up. Otherwise,
the higher man and the lower man do not agree with
each other. That is where Mercury and the Moon
need to come to an agreement. But their objectives are
different. That is why it is difficult to gain an agreement
between these two. The program of the soul is different
from the program of the body. The soul tells; “Let the
sperm be used in the path of ascent.” “That is what the
Buddhi tells us. But the mind says; “No, no, it is not
possible. It is very difficult,” and we prefer to enjoy. It
 The Path to Immortality 93

is interesting to note that Mercury moves around the

Sun while the Moon moves around the Earth. As it is
above so it is below. The solar system’s functioning and
the functioning of the individual system correspond.
We have an excellent good intention, but when it
comes to action, it disappears. Spirituality disappears
when we are in action because action relates to the
body and the mind prevails. That is why any number
of times we listen to wisdom, we just remain where we
are because the objectives of the lower mind and the
higher mind are divergent but not convergent. Many
people say; “You have to function with the higher
mind,” but when it comes to functioning, the lower
mind functions. We function as humans, not as souls.
All these years we have recollected to ourselves that we
shall have to function as souls, but sometimes we even
behave like sub-humans. We see tigers among us who
cause aggression on others, we see bulls that gore, we
see scorpions that sting. We see a variety of animals
functioning through us. That means the animal man
is functioning more than the spiritual man. Where is
the human? We have only the animal and the spiritual.
When there is a good agreement between the spiritual
and the animal, the human is born.
Therefore, the way is not to gain only wisdom.
To gain the body of light we have to first regulate the
body and the mind. That is where Venus gives the
94 Chapter IV

facility. When the Venusian principle is worked out

in us, the mind of the body and the body cooperate
with the mind of the soul. That is how the whole thing
works. Our mind is filled with the mind-stuff. We
cannot stuff it further with wisdom. Madame Bailey
appropriately translated Chitta as mind-stuff. In such a
stuffed mind what else can get in? That is why wisdom
gets in through one ear and gets out of the other ear.
We hear through the left ear and let it out through
the right ear because the mind is full with stuff. The
technique given by the Initiates is: “Clear the stuff ”
otherwise the wisdom exercises are futile. Clearing the
stuff of the mind is what is called “Yoga Chitta Vruthi
Nirodhakah,” it is the first instruction of Yoga. For this
reason, we always start the teachings with Yoga. The
first Yoga instruction is “suspend the activity of the
mind-stuff.”

Gopala
We are all engrossed in the material and we need to
resurrect ourselves from it. When once we overcome
the material and resurrect ourselves from it via Venus,
the agreement with Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun, via
Venus, becomes easier. That is how the work of Venus is
fulfilled. In this manner, we form the ultimate triangle.
In the preceding chapters I have given triangle after
triangle, from the state of utter conditioning to the
 The Path to Immortality 95

state of liberation. The final triangle is the triangle of

being.

GOPALA is the name of this triangle. GA is the

sound relating to Jupiter, O is the sound relating to the
Sun, PA is the sound relating to Venus and LA is the
sound for its manifestation. So, with Love and Light,
the Sun (the soul) shines. That is how astrology gives
us the path of discipleship.
96
 Chapter V 97

The Principle of Venus

Venus and the Sense of Colour

It is stated that Venus governs beauty, balance
and love. Venus also governs the colour sense in
man, but the sensitivity to light is an aspect that
comes to us from the Sun. The Sun governs the
light and Venus governs the colour. Venus stands
for etheric matter. When the light passes through
matter, there is the manifestation of the colour. The
Akasha is the astral light and by itself it does not
manifest any colour. The manifestation of colour
is on account of the interaction of the light with
the matter. Where light interacts with matter, the
colour manifests. Otherwise, there is no colour: it
is all light. Colour is a manifestation due to the
resistance of matter to the flow of light. The light
moves in velocity and when it is resisted by matter,
there is the colour formation. In fact, that which
we see as light itself is matter. It is the interaction
of the unknown with the Primordial Matter that
makes the light formation.
Venus gives the subtle matter, hence the light
manifests through the subtle matter into a variety
98 Chapter V

of colours. It is like the solar ray passing through a

prism manifesting the colours. The colour sense in
us depends upon the Venusian principle functioning
in us. The response to colour depends upon the
placement of Venus in our horoscope. The best
painters are the ones who carry a good relation with
Venus. They have a better sense of colour. Colour
as we see it today, is only the effect of colour, but
not the colour as such. Depending upon the density
of the matter we have from radiant to dull colours.
If the matter is subtle, there is the radiance of the
colour. If the matter is dense, the colour tends to
be dull. What we see as difference of colours is only
the effect arising out of the density of the matter.
It is the effect of the colour which we see, but not
the colour as such. The colour as such can be seen
when we have grown into subtle matter. That is what
happens to a painter. The painter feels the colour
inside and tries to produce it on the canvas. His
perception of colour in his being is far more radiant
than what he can bring out on the canvas, because
his visualization of the colour is in the etheric form
and his production of the colour is on the canvas.
That is why a painter is never satisfied with his
paintings. What he visualizes inside is so good, so
beautiful and so radiant that when he tries to bring
it on the canvas, it does not come in that radiance.
 The Principle of Venus 99

Working with radiant colours makes us more

and more sensitive towards the etheric matter. It
is the Venusian principle in us that enables us to
respond to colours in nature. Responding to colour
is responding to beauty.
Venus governs the sense of colour. The Sun
governs the sense of light, Jupiter governs the sense
of sound and taste, Mercury governs the sense of
smell and Mars governs the sense of touch. If Mars
is afflicted, one would like to touch everybody.

Venus and the Quality of Unfoldment

Another quality Venus has is the quality of
unfoldment. It reveals that which is hidden. That is
why the deity carried lotuses in the two hands and says:
“I unfold you if you permit. I unfold what is hidden.”
For instance, it can unfold the sound into voice. We
have the sound happening in us, and it is unfolded into
voice. Many times, we think that Mercury presides over
the voice. Even in the sound, there are many details.
The unfoldment of sound into voice is presided over
by Venus. The import or content of sound is presided
over by Jupiter and it is transformed into voice. The
meaning of the sound is presided by Mercury. Jupiter
functions as our own utterance in silence and it is
unfolded into voice. The meaning, which is hidden,
when it is unfolded into voice, comes out through
100 Chapter V

Mercury. The urge to speak comes from Mars and the

breath to speak comes from the Moon.

Lotuses and Chakras

See how sound is unfolded into voice by Venus.
We know the unfoldment of the chakras in our being
as whirlpools and we know also the unfoldment as
lotuses. Chakras are the whirlpool of energy which put
us to conditioned movements. It is circular movement,
up and down all the time, birth and death. The wheel
of the time is the one in which the conditioned beings
move. Venus offers unfoldment from the state of
conditioning.
When the principle of Venus is worked out with the
technique given, the chakras transform into lotuses.
This is how we will have lotuses in Muladhara or base
centre, in Anahata or heart centre and also in the Ajna
or brow centre. This is the unfoldment of man in
his threefold aspect. The lotus is an excellent symbol
recollecting to us the splendour of unfoldment. “Better
unfold than move in circles” is the message coming
from the lotus. That is why the symbol of Venus is
a beautiful lady sitting in a lotus, holding lotuses in
her hands. She is called Padmini. When the Mother is
depicted wearing garlands of lotuses as necklaces she is
called Padma Malini. There are many names relating
to the Mother derived from the sound Padma, which
 The Principle of Venus 101

in Sanskrit means lotus. The idea is to give the import

of unfoldment the moment we look at this symbol.
That is how Venus helps the unfoldment. The moment
the link with the gross material is disconnected, the
energy moves upwards, and all the lotuses or centres of
energy unfold. That is the kind of unfoldment Venus
offers. The work of Jupiter becomes easy when we are
unfolded. In an unfolded and opened person wisdom
can be received and assimilated. When the person is
not open, the wisdom flies over. That is why the work
of Venus shall have to precede all work of wisdom. To
open, we need to have the help of Venus. The wisdom
that we need to unfold is what we get through Mercury.
First, we should know that we have to unfold - that is
Mercury; then we unfold with the help of Venus, then
we realize the truth - that is Jupiter, and its culmination
in the Sun. That is how the scheme is worked out with
Venus as the basis. Thus, Venus governs the aspect of
unfoldment also.

Purity
AMALA is the sound to stimulate the Venus
principle in us.
OM SRIM AMALAI NAMAHA is the mantra.
We utter the sound AMALA and imagine that we
are unfolding like a white lotus at the base centre. It
helps to gain the response of the principle of Venus in
102 Chapter V

us. Amala means purity. Mala means impurity. That is

where the concept of purity finds its importance in the
esoteric practice. It unfolds when there is purity. Purity
has to be in the three worlds: physical purity, emotional
purity and perceptual purity. That means we have to be
pure in our thoughts, in our emotions and we have to
adopt purity in our physical life. The purity of speech is
associated with the purity of thoughts. In Yoga, it is said
that we have to purify the three lower vehicles. That is
the step through which we gain the principle of Venus.
When we are disturbed in our thoughts on account
of impurity, we can use the technique conceived now
to overcome the situation. We imagine the symbol of
the Mother with a smiling face, sitting in a lotus with
her two hands holding two lotuses and we utter the
mantra: OM SRIM AMALA I NAMAHA. If we keep
doing it, it helps to purify the thought plane. When
thoughts are purified, it becomes easier to purify the
emotions and to gain physical purity.

Mantras
There are mantras for every planetary principle:
Planetary Principle Mantra:
Venus AMALA
Mercury SAKALA
Mars SARAVANABHAVA
Jupiter HAMSA SIVA SO HAM
 The Principle of Venus 103

Moon AMBUJA
Sun GRINI (short form of Gayatri)
Saturn SAM
This is how the unfoldment of mantras happened
to the seers. Today we are trying to reproduce from
what is already said. But there are some who have got
these mantras through unfoldment, and they are now
available to us. Likewise, the entire doctrine of sound,
the doctrine of light and the symbolism, unfolded
to the ones who went through contemplation for
hundreds of years. This is the unfoldment that Venus
gives us. That is the reason why we need to work with
Venus for unfoldment than with any other energy. That
is the reason why Venus is said to be an esoteric planet.
It carried the secrets. The secrets are hidden for those
who have not gained the response of Venus. Even the
secret of the secrets gets unfolded when we work with
Venus. The secret of the secrets is the secret of death
and birth. It unfolds to that extent till one realizes that
there is no death and that there is no birth.

The Perfect State of the Soul

Venus is the teacher for both the esoteric and exoteric
life. He has disciples who work for the objectivity, and
he also prepares disciples for subjective unfoldment. He
is the Master that gives the objective and the subjective
life together; that means, one need not be sacrificed for
104 Chapter V

the sake of the other. He stands at the middle-point

between the subjective and objective aspects of life. It
is a life that carries the splendour of the two.
The Lord himself is said to have two consorts.
The life of objectivity and the life of subjectivity are
harmonized in a yogi and hence we do not have to
lead an uncommon life in the name of spiritualism.
It is finding a balance between the two and living in
harmony with the matter and the spirit. That is the
perfect state of the soul. When the perfect state of the
soul is realized, we get the presence of the supreme
being of the planet, Sanat Kumara. He is basically
Venusian, but lives on this planet to inspire and guide.
Venus gives the steps of unfoldment up to the point
of self-realization. At each step of the unfoldment, we
start working with a different planetary principle. We
start with Saturn, then with the will of Mars raising
we work with Mercury, and then we start realizing in
terms of Jupiter. Please remember, when Venus works
with Saturn, it manifests beauty in form, but it has
the susceptibility to get conditioned by matter. When
Venus functions with Mercury, we gain beauty as a
concept. When Venus works with Uranus, we have the
ability to rearrange, which is the seventh ray aspect.
When there is a good interaction between Venus and
Jupiter in one’s own being, there is the self-realization.
This is how Venus, step by step, leads us to unfoldment.
 The Principle of Venus 105

When the realization is complete and we have realized

the self, when we have ourselves realized that we are the
Sun, Venus has no more purpose.

The Solar System

Each one of us is a Sun. We have the potential to be
a solar system, in which case our self becomes the Sun
in the solar system and the other principles become
the planets. The Sun quality in us will be the Sun of
the solar system and that is what we are. We cannot
call Him in the third person. All other principles we
have, like Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury, form the
planets, because the principles are there basically in us.
Every human being is a micro-system, and the solar
system is the macro-system. In an advanced worship of
the Sun the initiate looks at the Sun and says: “You are
no different from me and I am no different from you.
You and me are one.”
The Solar system is a bigger system with the same
principles. We are a smaller system with the same
principles. That is how the realization has the same
dimension towards which we have to make the initial
steps via Venus. The most unique aspect of Venus is
that it establishes the continuity in us, so that we do
not lose time and wisdom. The key of Venus is the key
to immortality. The need to work with it is much more
than the need to work with other aspects of wisdom,
106 Chapter V

because it provides us the continuity. What we gain

will not be lost.
This aspect of Venus inspired me to give this
seminar. Other aspects are more informative. This
aspect is the one with which we need to work so that
we do not have to start with the alphabets all the time.

Practice
That was exactly the point of Master CVV when he
said: “Why should we study every time right from the
alphabets? There should be a way to gain everything
and retain it than to forget it.”
Master CVV found the technique through his
contemplation. It is not any invention; it is the
unfoldment of the technique in one’s own being
which is already existing so that we continue and gain
immortality. Gaining immortality is given preference
to gaining wisdom. Therefore, practice stands
in preference to more and more comprehension.
We need to comprehend to practice, and we need
to practise to comprehend. Let the two function
alternatingly. It is the functioning of Mercury
and Venus in an alternating fashion, but with the
emphasis on Venus; that is, with the emphasis on
practice. Then the work has its fruition; otherwise,
we remain otherwise and we will be anything other
than wise. Practice has everything to do with us, not
 The Principle of Venus 107

with others. We do not have to practise on others,

but only on us.
The practice is to daily contemplate upon the
symbol in the heart centre. The contemplation is
recommended to be not only daily but also timely.
Every day our contemplation has to be at the same
time. The third requirement is that the contemplation
should take place thrice daily at the same time, with
eight hours interval.
Our ability to do so decides our priority. If this is
the priority, then it becomes possible. If this is not the
priority, better not to get into it. One pointedness is
the keynote to success. This is true in spiritual matters
also.
Contemplation upon the symbol with the sound
given at timely intervals form into a Tantra; that is,
symbol, sound and timely contemplation. Such
focussed and regular contemplation enables us to
visualize the symbol inside us in the heart centre, which
is etheric. Further contemplation leads us to the etheric
form, gaining more and more radiance. The bright light
over-shadows the contours of the symbol; gradually
the symbol disappears and the bright light remains.
The brighter the light is, it develops a proportionate
magnetic field, causing the lift-up of the soul from the
base centre to the throat centre, in a later stage to the
brow centre and finally it settles in the heart centre.
108 Chapter V

Thus, the bondage from the body is released. The

soul moves freely within and outside. It is the state
of living in the material without being conditioned
by it. This is what is referred to as “The dew drop on
the lotus leaf.” The soul remains detached from the
objectivity and the functioning with the objectivity is
with equanimity.
The entry and exit into and from the body
are experienced frequently and bodylessness is
experienced. One’s own body is witnessed as an
object in the objectivity. Since the released state is
frequently experienced, one realizes the life beyond
the body. Death is no more. It was existing wither as a
concept. The illusion relating to the concept of death
is overcome. The one who accomplishes the practice
realizes that there is no death but only the departure
from the body, that he does not die but that his
departure is consciously experienced.
Immortality is thus gained. Such is the importance
of the principle of Venus.

Venus – Other Dimensions

Other Aspects of Sukra

• The planet Venus has no satellite
• The planet Venus has no satellite
• The planet Venus is twice as brilliant and hot as
the Earth.
• Light comes through Venus to the Earth.
• The former receives a triple supply and gives out
a third of it to the Earth. The two are called the
twin sisters.
• The Initiates represent the two globes, Venus and
Earth, one over the other, under the double sign.

The double sign signifies the male-female principle

in nature, representing the androgynous state of
the beings before they fall into the physical sheaths.
Venus is presented as the globe over the cross while
the Earth is represented as the globe under the
cross. This signifies that while Venus stands
transcended the matter, the Earth stands farther
into material degeneration into the production of
110 Chapter VI

species through sexual union.

• Venus is the most occult, powerful and mysterious
of all planets. Its influence on Earth is prominent.
• The rotation of Venus on its axis takes 243 days.
The direction of rotation is retrograde, i.e.,
opposite to that of the revolution of all the planets
around the sun.
• The beings of Venus are Aphrodite’s male-
female. So are the Initiates. They are complete in
themselves and are therefore not in need of male or
female supplementation. They are called Kumaras
- Sons of God.

upon the planet.
• Venus is the light counterpart of our Earth and is
the basis of the Earth’s astral matter
• Venus provides the basis for the formation of the
mind on the Earth’s chain.
• The work of Venus begins when the work of Saturn
ends. When the work with Saturn begins, man is
recruited into the soul’s life - the 2nd initiation.
• Venus in Taurus produces earthy desires
• Venus in Gemini awakens duality and conflict of
good & bad.
• Venus in Libra causes true balance, which is worked
out as equilibrium of the conflicting duality.
• Saturn binds the two opposite triads - spiritual and
material. Pluto cuts the thread of bondage. Venus
unites the two without binding. Such is the work
of Venus in Pisces.
