🌻. Worlds of Light - Fire Devas 🌻

When a cow eats grass, it transforms the grass to milk. The cow doesn’t know how this alchemical transmutation happens inside. 

The wondrous process is guided by intelligences of nature. Everywhere in nature we see these intelligences working; they take care of highly complex processes and sustain structures and patterns in an appropriate manner. 

🌻. The modern scientists don’t accept the existence of these subtle beings; 🌻

 Master EK calls it a question of maturity for which science still has to wait. The spiritual science calls them Devas; in the west they are called spirits of nature, angels and archangels.

We can imagine the Devas as energy centres which work out the different states and planes of creation. In Sanskrit Divi means radiant and therefore the beings of light are called Devas. 

There is a vast number of cosmic, planetary and micro-cosmic intelligences working in us and in the different kingdoms of nature. 

Teachers are also called Devas, Guru Devas, enlightened beings that keep teaching others so that they find the Light, too. So the Masters of Wisdom are humans who have reached the status of Devas and they thus become sources of worship. 

An individual doesn’t become a Master because others have given him the title “master” but because he is impersonal and can inspire like a Deva.

Devas don’t grant personal favours; they work in an impersonal way like the functions of our body or the planets. 

In their essence they aren’t mental and thus work for the plan of the earth. When we rise to the buddhic plane and also work in an impersonal way, we can link up with the devic activity and become part of the team.

All Devas emerge from Devi, the original Light of the World. It is worshipped in a female form, as a female energy, because she is the first emanation or transformation of eternal existence. 

That is how the tradition of the worship of the World Mother has come about. In the Vedas she is called Aditi, the Light beyond darkness, which isn’t visible with the eyes. 

Any light is a part of that Light; no light is independent of it. Even the enlightened beings pray to her because the various lights emerge from this Light.

Aditi is represented as a circle with a central point. It is recommended to meditate on this symbol, to remain in the centre of the point and to feel the circle around us. When we regularly see the circle through the screen of our mind, a circular door opens. 

The light of Aditi is the light of occult sight; it is also called the all-pervading Light which lifts the veil of nature and thus makes us see the Light behind every form and activity.
