The living process
The truth has to be achieved through your evolutionary process, which is a living process.
Again we must understand the living process. Through just talking, mental projections,
sitting down here, big talk about it or by giving you some courses or taking some money
from you, you cannot get it. It is a state in a living growth. That proves that it is living.
That means the state of our awareness has to be higher than what it is. If our state
cannot rise, then it is not of any use. Like the seed that becomes the roots, then the bark,
the leaves, the flowers and then the fruit in the same way, a living religion must give you
a different state and that religion is within us. Every one of us has it.
When we go against that living religion within us, we go into imbalances, but even
today people can ask, “Why religion? Why should we have a balance? What is the need?
Let’s go into imbalances.” I mean is that a logical question?
What is religion?
What is the religion? We come to that point. It is that a religion is a valency of human
beings. Just like carbon has four valences, human beings have ten valences, which matter
does not have. Animals have nine, while the human beings have ten valences. And when
these ten valences go out of balance, then they go out of the quality of a human being.
But still, one can ask, why should we have these ten valences? Because in the evolutionary process you have to ascend and you can never be satisfied with yourself unless and
until you have achieved it – especially the seekers.
That is why I say they are the special category – because in this special category, men
of God will have to become prophets and they will have powers to make others prophets.
When is that going to happen? It has to happen today.
VALENCE: The number
of possible bonds or
qualities. For an atom, it
is the number of bonds it
can make with another
atom. For a human, it is
the number of qualities
or laws of dharma.

To be born again
The English language has an advantage and a disadvantage. The spirit could be the atma
or the spirit could be an alcohol or the spirit could be a dead body. It could be any circumstance, but it is not so. These are three separate things, absolutely opposite to each other. Pir: the spirit or atma
So the atma, the spirit, has to be found out.
It is said even by Mohammed-sahib. He said you are to become the pir. It is said by
Zoroaster. It is said by Lao-Tse. It is also said by Zen. Buddha has said it. Mahavira has
said it. Every one of them has said it that you have to be born again.
To be born again does not mean that you certify yourself, “I am born again.” A selfcertificate, you can call it. What is so special if you are born ag
