The Bible speaks of the divine transformation of the mankind
that the Comforter will usher in thus: Daniel (12:3&4)
- "And they that
be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for
ever and ever."
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the
book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (12:4)
Proverbs (4:18) —
"But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
Matthews (13:43) —
“Then shall the righteous shine forth as the
sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear.”
2 Corinthians (3:18)
—
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord.”
According to Hindu religion, the 10th avatar or divine
incarnation will be the last one, ending the cycle of four
epochs —
Sat Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yug and Kaliyug. It is this 10th
avatar, which will help the entire mankind reach the zenith
of evolution in its true sense.
According to Vedic philosophy, the human body is composed
of seven basic sheaths: Matter, Life, Mind, Supermind or
Gnosis, Bliss, Becoming and Being. Human evolution has passed
through the first four sheaths, leading to man’s current
progress. However, man cannot progress through the last
three sheaths – Bliss, Becoming and Being (known in
the Hindu terminology as Sat, Chit and Ananda) unless he
is backed by a divine force. This is because these three
sheaths lie beyond the realm of the physical world into
the spirit world. Prophecies made in the Hindu scriptures
say that only the 10th avatar will help the mankind cross
the last three layers of consciousness and become divine
itself.
Jesus too makes a prophecy about the advent of this avatar
or the divine incarnation in Mathew (23:39):
“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name
of the Lord."
The great Indian Yogi and modern sage Sri
Aurobindo was confirmed in his conviction that prophets
and saints and other religious monks had until now proved
to be a failure in ushering in lasting peace and tranquility
in the world. However, he was equally convinced that the
10th avatar promised in the Hindu scriptures alone would
be able to save this world from total annihilation and to
establish lasting peace on earth. He therefore practiced
his unique form of Internal Yoga for nearly 40 years, praying
to God make this prophecy come true. His hard penance brought
a divine blessing. Said he, "For the sake of humanity
I have got the great boon from the Lord that the earth could
have asked for". Granting this boon to Sri Aurobindo,
said Lord Krishna: "Soon
an occult power will Incarnate from the above world of consciousness
and that will subdue the evil empire of death and falsehood
and will establish 'His Almighty's Kingdom".
Sri Aurobindo was fortunate to witness closely through a
vision the advent of this divine force on earth. He proclaimed
later that the divine force descended on earth in human
form on 24th November 1926. He called it the descent of
Krishna into the physical world to bring about a divine
transformation of mankind. He predicted that this divine
force, after leading a near anonymous life, will come out
in the open with its mission by the turn 20th century (Aurobindo
on Himself, 29-10-1935).
Guru Siyag was born on November
24, 1926.
One can find an echo of Lord Krishna’s boon in the
1 Corinthians 15:26: "The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death" and the Revelation 2:11: "He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
second death.” Thus Bible refers
to the descent of the divine force as a human embodiment
of the occult power.
