🌻 What is Our Strength - 1 🌻

God is One, and God is indivisible. God is the Soul of our souls. 

Therefore, each soul is nothing but God. But if each soul is God, each one ought to experience what God experiences—Infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss—because God is Infinite Knowledge, Infinite Power and Infinite Bliss. 

Because of ignorance each soul fails to experience Infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss; it experiences only the shadows of these attributes of divine nature. Seven shadows interweave between INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS and INFINITE UNCONSCIOUSNESS. 

These seven shadows are seven forms of existence existing in a state of ignorance. The mental world contains the first and second shadows; the subtle world contains four shadows; and the gross world is the seventh shadow. 

Therefore, in order to experience Infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss, each individual has to cross these seven shadows. To cross the seven shadows of non-existence one has to rid oneself of his own inner shadow—his ignorance. 

Crossing these seven shadows is the aim of human consciousness. But, because of the clutches of ignorance, one remains attached to his own shadow of ignorance, and seeks instead the shadow of happiness. 

Happiness in the state of ignorance is nothing but misery, because this happiness is a product of ignorance, the shadow of God's Knowledge. One must cross beyond the boundary of happiness and misery which keeps one out of the subtle world. This boundary is the seventh shadow of God, and it must be crossed in order to start the inner journey toward God. 

A gross conscious human being is held within the strongest clutches of ignorance, and so it is difficult for him to cross the boundary beyond happiness and misery. 

Therefore, one must have a guide who can help him cross all seven shadows, and give him Knowledge of his Divinity. To guide human beings through the seven shadows is the help that the Avatar gives, and he helps all.
