Once
within, or once having reached the spiritual inner world, then words cannot
be sufficient to describe the glory within. Many have used the words bliss
and glory. That is world where there is no pain, death, illness of this
tangible world.
The word
Brahmand is used to describe the entire, physical, astral and causal world.
The names Kabir has
given to the inner spiritual regions are, Sahansdal Kamal, the land of
the thousand lamps, Trikuti, the confluence of the three, The tenth door.
The region of great darkness. The region of Eternal Truth.
The
Imperceptible One, The Inaccessible one, The Nameless One.
We
are subject to the physical world where everything is governed by cause
and effect. The soul is judged by its actions.
Beyond,
is the Astral world and the Causal world. To enter the precincts of the
Imperceptible one, one has to shed their physical and causal bodies. The
journey begins at the third eye where one leaves the physical body and
enters the Astral plane. Kabir has described it in the language of sound
and light.
There are many distractions in this world but Kabir calls the mind the
biggest thief that steals the soul of its real spiritual wealth with its
mighty companions of anger, lust, jealousy, hate, ego, attachment etc.
Kabir recognizes the thief without a head.
Throughout
the three worlds the thief steals,
With great cunning and stealth,
And deprives devotees,
Of all their wealth,
Kabir
says "What is the use of subjecting your body to all this while the
mind has all the freedom and can go anywhere, it is the body that is suffering.
Calm the mind, know its origin, its characteristics. Mind has no power
of its own, it draws from the soul. The mind cannot function without the
soul, the soul cannot function without the mind in the physical world.
Mind is matter and not spirit. Only when one reaches the region of the
universal mind, and grasps the origin of mind the mind becomes still.
Only one who is Attuned can do this. This mind is made of the five elements.
He who fixes the mind in the region of the Universal Mind to him the mysteries
of the three worlds will be revealed.
