Neo-humanism and Microvita
Feb. 4, 1996
Today I wish to speak upon the topic of microvita and neo-humanism. You
know, in neo-humanism or new humanism, the approach to living beings is that
all are significant, all are important in the vast web of life. There is no one
or nothing that can be said to be insignificant. All are significant. None are
insignificant. This is the approach of new humanism.
In new humanism, every molecule of this
manifest universe is a part and parcel of the macrocosmic subjectivity. That is
to say, it lies within the cosmic mind and it is nothing but the cosmic
expression modified and individualized. So every molecule of this manifest
universe is a part and parcel of the cosmic entity and so all is divine, there is
nothing and there is no one who is insignificant. All is a part and parcel of
the web of divine expression. So that being the case, what life can be
disrespected, all must be respected, both animate and inanimate because
everything is composed of the supreme progenitor modified and individualized in
expression but in essence a manifestation of the divine.
So reverence and respect must be there for
all creatures and even inanimate objects. This is neo-humanism. It means that
not only must there be compassion and reverence for human beings but for all
beings. All objects, both animate and inanimate must be seen as the projections
of the cosmic progenitor. They must be valued for what they are. So in this
way, all life must be given reverence. Thus, in neo-humanism, the approach that
is taken is to say that all life is vital; it is to be revered. Not only the
important people but the unimportant people as well and not only the
unimportant people but the creatures of this world are also to be revered. And
not only the creatures of this world but also the plants are to be revered and
even the rocks. All must be revered as expressions of divinity. If this is
done, one will have great compassion in all actions and thoughts. And one will
not treat any creature in an ill fashioned way so that the stream of life gains
respect and is properly cared for; not abused, ignored or diminished in any
form it takes. With this attitude, a person will come to know divinity in a
short while because this attitude brings awareness of the divine nature of all
creatures.
When one thinks in this way as a
neo-humanist, one begins to see the whole of the world, the whole of the
universe as the projection of the divine entity and one comes to realize one's
existence lies in his very psychic expression and that it is impossible to be
apart from him. When this realization comes to human beings and they see all
around them the expression of Parama Purus'a, they feel much blessedness and
love and the desire to serve all beings comes in the mind. So you see, this
neo-humanism is a part and parcel of the path of blessedness. When the world
adopts this approach, then there will be no oppression of differing groups of
people. There will be no oppression of the living beings, the creatures of the
forest, or of the air or of the water. All will be respected for what and whom
they are and treated with great reverence. If the life of a creature must be
taken, it will be done with great honor for that being and with great
compassion and understanding for the pain that is caused that being.
Now, if one is a neo-humanism, one gains a
certain ability. That ability is to be able to discern truth and reality from
illusions and with this comes the capacity to nurture living beings. And how
are they nurtured? They are nurtured through the emanations of microvita, which
are produced in the mind when the mind is concentrated on Parama Purus'a. So
these microvita may help the living beings. They are the thoughts of
compassion, of love, of caring for living beings. These thoughts, these ideas
are the very expression of subtle microvita in the human mind and as they are
thought more and more, the microvita increases.
The affinity for living beings becomes
stronger and such a person who takes such an attitude of love for all living
beings, will find that they have a special ability to hear all creatures great
and small by their words, by their smiles, by their thoughts because their mind
is wrapped in ideas of compassion and love and kindness to all beings. And this
wrapping of the mind in these thoughts all the time produces emanations of
positive microvita in the mind. The mind becomes very charged with the positive
life force and if that person touches someone, a simple creature, speaks to
that creature, even smiles at that creature, the creature will feel the
emanation of positive microvita. It is built in the mind like a charge when the
mind stays so compassionately, so kindly fixed throughout the day and night,
day after day.
So for a true neo-humanist, they gain a
great ability in their capacity to love and this ability comes to be a great
boon to all living beings. So if one would follow the path of neo-humanism, one
must have reverence and respect for all life and keep the mind ever ideating
upon the greatness of all beings. Thus the mind will become pure, love will
permeate, and you will become a vehicle for divine expression. Microvita will
become very charged in the mind and will emanate to all. So this is the path of
the neo-humanist approach to life in this manifest universe. So if you must
live in the world, be neo-humanist because as a neo-humanist you will surely
find the path of blessedness.
Now I wish to talk to one other topic that is
unrelated to this discourse. I wish to speak about yama and niyama. It is
important that all my children make every effort to follow these principles.
They are given for your welfare and if you follow you will find great success
in your spiritual life. So I would encourage you to follow yama and niyama as
well as you are able. You will do this please. Thank-you very much. I am
finished for today.
