Verb, Word, Holy-Name, Holy
Spirit, Satnam are different names to say the same “thing”. This
“thing” cannot be said nor written but it is possible, when it is
known how to do, to hear it and to listen to it. This is the
Meditation.
Summary:
The Holy-Name or Word, Verb, Satnam, Te (that of the Tao-TE-King) Holy Spirit, is not a word which can be written nor said. It cannot be easily explained either . On the path the word “Holy-Name” names three things:
The Holy-Name or Word, Verb, Satnam, Te (that of the Tao-TE-King) Holy Spirit, is not a word which can be written nor said. It cannot be easily explained either . On the path the word “Holy-Name” names three things:
-it divine “principle” giving life to all things and beings.
The felt feeling when our
attention goes to the right place, like an inner smile. Some speak
about the thymus and its reward’s hormone. The body being a
creation of God we are not disturbed if this feeling known as “of
the Holy-Name” passes by this biochemical “mechanism”.
-The technique of Meditation (one
of the four revealed) known as '' technique-of-Holy-Name). This
technique can be practised sitting, in a formal depper way, and in
action throughout the day while being occupied with our occupations.
It is then the Duty (one of the three practices constituting the
Agya, Sàdhana of the original-yoga).
The
Word
'' If you keep my word, then you are truly my
disciples;
and you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you
free.''
[John 8, 31-32]
It is a quotation of a
Jesus-Christ’s teaching reported by the Gospel according to Jean.
The Word about which Jesus speaks is not a word made of articulated
sounds which would have a meaning and would convey concepts. When he
says my word he wants to let speak, through him, the one he
designated as his father.
This Word has already been
evoked elsewhere in the bible. Everyone knows this sentence which
begins the Gospel according to Saint John: “At the beginning was
the Verb … the Verb was with God, the Verb was God…”
[Bhaktimàrga 1-1-16]
Some Christians translated this
sentence as follow: “Wisdom
was near God as of the beginning, before its oldest works, when the
silence of God reigned, this silence which sheltered the ideal
Wisdom”.
is the Word, this
Word, this name where it is necessary for us to remain
to be really
the disciples of Jesus, as said in John
in chapter XV and this name,
this word can neither be said
nor be written but simply be listened.
Those who received the Revelation of the four techniques,
and which
observe Agya regularly, know about which word it is.
For us Jesus, when he spoke
about the Truth to his disciples, or the seekers who came to listen
to him, gave Satsang, this practice of the path which consists in
speaking under the Holy-Name's inspiration. When he spoke
“In-name-of-God”, he gave Satsang.
This Satsang was intended to
wake up the Conscience predisposed to listen to him [that all who
have an ear should hear]. Few people, listening to him, accepted
sufficiently his words to follow him and become his disciples: in his
lifetime the Christ had twelve apostles and only five or six
disciples. Many applauded, little understood that it was about a
practice claiming a “Baptism in the Holy spirit and the fire” and
to remain in his Word practicing daily a silent prayer, or
Meditation.
“ There are many disaccording noises in this world
Be silent and listen to the perfection of the breath “
Be silent and listen to the perfection of the breath “
[Bhaktimàrga 1-1-25]
Agya
You start to know what is the Agya, Sadhàna of the path: it is composed of three complementary practices, the Duty, the Satsang and the Meditation. For memory I remind you that the Duty [named by some nonaction] allows to keep your Conscience in the inner Peace [or Holy-Name] along the day, while going about their everyday activities.
“If
you remain in my Word, you are really my disciples,
and you will know
the truth and the truth will free you.”
It could be translated as : “If you practise the Duty (to remain in “His” Word), you are really disciples and you will know the Truth and the Truth will release you from the illusion, confusion, darkness”
Or as: “If
you remain in the Holy-Name, practicing the active-meditation (Duty),
throughout the day…”
Or, by using the Indian
words, as: “If you
remain in nonaction, you are my devotees and you will know
Satçitananda. You will be released from the chains forged by the
false-ego” For the
disciples, it could be simply translated as: '' just-do-it ''! And
all the rest will be given to you in addition.
[John ch.1]
This Verb is
the Holy-Name, the power that One puts
in each life of His Creation,
that the taoists name Te
… one of the three elements of the trinity:
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
or One, the Man and the
Holy-Name.
It is not a question of doing
like Gautama; to sit down at the bottom of a tree and to meditate
until reaching the mystical awakening, even if those which feel
irresistibly attracted by this approach should do it. The existence
is made of other things and beings which share a part of our destiny.
We owe something to them, it is our dharma - or holy duty and the
worldly pleasures are not prohibited provided they do not prevent us
from living our spiritual part.
A human being goes on two feet…the materiel must go with the
spiritual one, thus it is complete. For the Indians of America, the
name of human was understood only like that. The white materialist
and strong barbarians were not the human beings because they went to
bell-foot. The idiotic massacre of the bisons was not, for the
Indians, a proof of humanity.
