"It is self-defeating to deride the works of ECKANKAR, to try to defy
the
spiritual influence of the ECK or look upon the SUGMAD and the living
ECK
Master negatively, or with the eyes of Kal. The ECK Master has always
been
a figure of controversy in the materialstic world and will always be,
for he
is a spiritual giant in the flesh. He could bring peace and happiness
to
this world, but it is not his purpose. The races and people of the
earth
are willing agents of the Kal power. They perform his duties to keep
any
spiritual influence out of this materialistic world, including that of
the
living ECK Master if at all possible." THE SHARIYAT-KI-SUGMAD, pg. 133
"Those who apply themselves to the path of ECKANKAR will succeed and
those
who keep themselves aloof and far away from ECK will not succeed to the
higher levels of the spiritual worlds." pg. 135
"The mission of true spirituality can only be carried on successully by
the
living ECK Master . . . whoever attempts to reach God can only go
through
the Mahanta and not throught those who are seeking possession of the
world."
pg. 135
"Only those who have received the Word in initiation can be given the
blessings of the SUGMAD through the Mahanta." pg. 137
[Those who doubt or follow other masters] "speak with false tongues for
none
but the living ECK Master has the authority to speak in the name of the
SUGMAD." pg. 138
"The initiates, mainly of the Fifth Circle, do not suffer from insanity,
instability, neurosis or worry . . . the higher one goes in the
initiations
the greater become his survival factors, both in the psychic and
spiritual
worlds." pg. 139
"Those who need the living ECK Master will always stay with him, but
those
who feel that they are beyond this are wrong in their thinking. They
have
not examined the truth, and will go afoul of the illusions established
by
the Kal." pg. 143
"The highway into the Kingdom of Heaven is narrow, and the way is strewn
with the spiritual corpses of those who have failed. Only those who
give up all for the love of the Mahanta can ever reach the gates of
paradise." pg. 125
"He who listens to the living ECK Master and obeys him will have his
love and will be freed of his wordly karma. He will enter into the
spiritual worlds a free Soul." pg. 125
"If the living Eck Master performs a miracle of healing, of bringing
justice, or giving one something of a material nature, be not surpised
for it is in his nature to do such things when necessary . . . he is
the only one that can do such things. All others are false masters,
false prophets and false when they try to give and have no means to
give. No one but the living ECK Master is the divine channel for these
gifts of God." pg. 125
"He who seeks to keep his life shall never have it. But whosoever
loses his life in the love of the Mahanta shall have it in eternity.
And whosoever shall give of his material life to the ECK shall have it
thricefold returned unto him in spiritual blessings. No man with
riches shall enter into the Kingdom of God, for he shall leave them on
earth with his temple of flesh and both shall rot away into oblivion."
pg. 126
" . . . the living ECK Master is the only one who truly knows what Soul
is." pg. 126
"In order to understand the living ECK Master, stop talking, stop
thinking, stop analyzing him and his worldly actions, and then you will
understand all things. If the chela will look for the Light and Sound
within the living ECK Master, all things will be revealed to him." pg.
128
"Within the visions of the SUGMAD are the followers of ECKANKAR who in
some way or other betray the living ECK Master." pg. 132
[The living ECK Master]"knows how each will end his life upon this
earth, whether he will stray from the path or will be critical, upset
and unhappy with the Master and whether he will betray the Master
during his sojourn as an ECK chela." pg. 132
"The living ECK Master knows everything about the chela as well as his
reactions to the tests and trials given him. The Master is never
surprised when a chela leaves, giving up in a quandry and unhappy
becaue the Mahanta has not given him the desires of his heart. He
knows the suffering that each chela may have during these periods when
separated from the living ECK Master." pg. 132
"The Mahanta is not concerned with what either the chela or the public
thinks about him. He expects misunderstandings to arise or the masses
to
attack him, and he knows that some chelas, regardless of how much love
is
poured upon them, will betray him because of their lack of self-
honesty."
pg. 132
"Those who quarrel with the principles of ECK, or the knowledge of whom
and
what the living ECK Master is to this world, had best examine
themselves."
pg. 132
"When one tries to correct the Master's works by suggestion or argument
he
should take interest in what he is doing rather than accept these
extremes.
Often the living ECK Master establishes certain forms of speech or
written
phrases which baffle the chela completely. But if the chela is open to
what
is being said, there is nothing which is perplexing. These are the
tests of
the ECK Master to see what the chela will take. If the chela accepts
it for
what it is then the test is passed. It does not matter how the word is
given as long as it is given out to the chelas." pg. 133
"No one can get his release from the net of karma without the living ECK
Master." pg. 118
"Until the chela becomes an initiate in the works of ECK he is unable to
know and understand that he is the slave of Kal Niranjan." pg. 119
"The ECK which can be perceived by those who are not chelas is only a
shadow
of IT." pg. 121
[The chela]" . . . must never weaken nor waver in his love or loyalty
to the
SUGMAD and the living ECK Master." pg. 113
"No man can reach God practicing any path except devotion to the SUGMAD
through the Mahanta." pg. 114
"There is no one else on earth but the Mahanta who can and will utter
the
Word which liberates the chela and puts an end to his uncertainty. He
is
the only one who can release Soul from Its prison in this world.
Otherwise
there is no escape . . ." pg. 116
"The chela keeps wondering when he will reach that moment of meeting
with
God. But it will never come for, if he would realize it, he is already
at
that moment. Rather, he is at this focal point in eternity for the
SUGMAD
is always with him, in the form of the living ECK Master . . . God is
with
him all the time as the living ECK Master, every moment of his life."
pg.
92
"Therefore, the chela should recognize that if God is with him, then the
living ECK Master is always the presence he experiences constantly. He
should understand this and have it written upon his heart, for the
Mahanta
is the vehicle God uses to reach every Soul who will listen. This
should be
kept in mind constantly." pg. 92
"The chela must be dedicated to the ECK. Dedication is his greatest
asset. He must give this dedication to the Mahanta, the living ECK
Master, because he is the only manifestation of God that can be
recognized by those in the human state of consciousness. If the chela
is not possessed of this quality of dedication and loyalty to the path
of ECK, his incarnations are lengthened in this world, and he shall not
be able to enter into the next worlds at the end of his present life."
pg. 93
"The living ECK Master strives constantly to take the chela out of the
earthly games level but he never makes rules or rituals, never lays down
laws and proclaims his way to God as the better way, although all know
that it is. He knows that all religions are pseudo and in the
minority, but never states this in any of his works. He never asks
that anyone follow his path and abide by his own conduct and words."
pg. 94
"All religions are for the benefit of the leader." pg. 94
"The world that follows the dictum of the living ECK Master and
fulfills his
slightest desire, does so only so it can gain for itself." pg. 97
"The living ECK Master embraces all humanity because he is the only
channel
that can do so." pg. 98
"IF the chela is seeking eternity then he must first look for it within
his
own orbit. Since the living ECK Master is in this circle of being that
is
the personal and universal self of the chela, then the latter must seek
it
with the living ECK Master." pg. 99
"The Mahanta is not only the living ECK Master, but a living example of
the
philosophy of ECKANKAR, the high priest and a fountain of knowledge for
ECK.
He is one who knows divine law, government of the heavenly worlds, and
the
workings of the human mind and Soul, as well as the art of spiritual
healing, magic, prophesy and miracles." pg. 101
"Yet on the opposing side all the power of God must reach these worlds
through the perfect instrument of the Mahanta, the living ECK Master.
There
is no other way, for he is the distributor of the power." pg. 101
"When the ECK Master's position is attacked by revolt, or by
dissatisfaction
among the followers of ECK, he will defend himself. Not in the way many
would expect, but in ways that few can recognize. The defense will
always
come from the inner planes, and by means of the ECK. Those who revolt
or
become dissatisfied cannot bring about any attack upon the living ECK
Master
or his position in life. If they do, there is always the swiftest of
retribution, which is not always recognized by the receiver nor those
who
might have observed the occasion." pg. 101
"Those who are the children of ECK are the sons and daughters of the
divine
Sound Current. They are the heroic people of their age and they could
suffer at the hands of the orthodox who wish to keep the doctrine of
the ECK
from spreading." pg. 101
"If the Mahanta bestows gifts upon the solicitor, then he is the most
fortunate of the fortunates for it means that he basks in the favor of
the
living ECK Master, and seeks nothing further in life. He has met and
found
the true Vi-Guru, and must now start his spiritual journey to God."
pg. 91
* * * * * * * * * * *
"All Souls struggling to find their way to the true path of God--the
way of
ECKANKAR--will eventually seek out the living ECK Master." pg. 92
"All world religions . . . are materialistic in nature and worship the
wrong
power, the wrong God. Unless a religion has for its basic teaching the
living ECK Master, the Sound Current and the Light, it will not have
longevity. Few, if any religions have such elements in their
teachings."
pg. 91
"No man comes to the SUGMAD except through the Mahanta." pg. 91
" . . . to make promises which knowingly are false, is to annul one's
advancement on the spiritual path." pg. 91
[The Mahanta, the living ECK Master] "is stronger than any man in
intellect
or spirit, for he has unlimited power, yet this strength is combined
with
the noble virtues of the humble and gentle. All people find in him
inspiration for the development of noble character . . . he is the
greatest
religious leader on earth." pg. 81
" . . . therefore, all who wish the truth of ECK must follow the
Mahanta,
the living ECK Master. The SUGMAD cannot instruct, or give man the
needed
help on the upward path, without the Mahanta in human form to act as his
instrument and spokesman . . . only the living ECK Master can offer the
chela a definite method by which he can prove all things to himself."
pg.
83
"It is not possible to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven except through
the teachings of ECKANKAR." pg. 83
"However, the ECK initiate of the Second Circle will rise above any of
these
lower worlds upon the decease of the physical vehicle. He will enter
into
the Atma world at once, escorted by the living Mahanta . . . however,
if any
Soul who is a chela or initiate leaves the path of ECK for another way
to
the heavenly worlds . . . he must expect his karma to be extended. His
karmic burden increases as he gathers more, going through incarnation
after
incarnation searching blindly for what he has given up . . . no one but
the
living Mahanta can take him out of this plane of matter." pg. 83
"Woe be to him who tries to travel another path of religious doctrine or
spiritual works while at the same time a chela of the living ECK
Master . .
. if he becomes an initiate in ECKANKAR there shall be no wavering from
the
path unless he wishes an adverse life and falling into disgrace." pg.
84
"Those Souls which follow the beckoning finger of Niranjan to organized
religion shall take the wrong turn of the road. None but the living ECK
Master, who has descended to the worlds of matter to give all Souls an
opportunity to return to Heaven, is capable of offering this
opportunity. All others are false prophets and shall not be heeded."
pg. 44
"The sweet whispers of this negative genius [Kal] are heard in the
voices of
those who make claims to be the prophets of the times and the preachers,
clergy and priests who represent the old orthodox religions." Pg. 44
"Never talk of achievements in ECK, for this brings only disaster to the
chela." pg. 45
"Every Soul is liberated from the material worlds upon Initiation by the
Mahanta, who has been granted this power by the SUGMAD . . . the
uninitiated are those who have not received liberation through
Initiation from the Mahanta. Baptism will not fulfill the necessity of
liberation. Neither will the joining of any cult, religion or faith.
Only the living ECK Master has the power to initiate Souls and take
them to the regions of light." pg. 57
"Unless the chela believes in the Mahanta, has faith in the ECK, and
trusts
the SUGMAD--completely--he has spent his time worthlessly." pg. 57
"Those who cease to believe in the Mahanta must pay the price. The
payment
is in accord with their degree of capability. Since the inner Master is
only the vehicle for the SUGMAD, all persons who are followintg the
path of
ECK must look to him as the representative of the ECK power on Earth.
"
pg. 58
"The ECK Master establishes miraculous power in the chela when they
meet for
the chela's last incarnation in the Earth world." pg. 58
"The final goal of good karma is to bring the chela to the living ECK
Master
and to learn the true path to the SUGMAD. This is the very highest
reward
of good karma, assuring the chela of his liberation from the Wheel of
the
Eighty-Four." pg. 59
"The highest form of belief is faith-belief in the
SUGMAD . . . 'believing
is not believing,' so says the Lord of Lords to all Souls who descend
into
the ashcan of the universes." pg. 64
"After this death of the physical vehicle, the Atma is taken by the
living
ECK Master to whatever subtle region of the inner worlds he has
earned. No
Soul that is an Initiate of the ECK will have to account for Its deeds
and
actions with the lower realm of the Kal world. It is through with all
earthly karma and must now begin to work out the karma of its actions
on the
astral plane." pg. 65
"Only the ECK Masters have reached the fifth state of spiritual
development,
where they enter into the Atma plane at will. They have gone far beyond
this stage and entered into the Anami level with the true Godhead."
pg. 66
"The Mahanta is able to be seen by all his chelas simultaneously for he
is
of the ECK ITSELF. Being the Spirit of all things he is, therefore,
capable
of giving the secret teachings to all Initiates of ECKANKAR, or to
protect
and give them the necessities of life. He knows that goes on in the
minds
of every chela and all people. If he so chooses he knows the thoughts
of
animals and of every embodiment of life." pg. 67
" . . . the SUGMAD was moved to incarnate ITSELF as the Mahanta, the
living
ECK Master, and to give the Truth of the path of salvation in simple
language." pg. 69
"The agents of Kal, who call themselves Men of God, have concealed and
done
away with all truly religious scriptures. They have replaced them with
the
pseudo scriptures, and claim they are the Books of God." pg. 70
"Man loves miracles." pg. 70
