According to sages, this whole world is only an extension of God. It is only the Power of God that is working in various forms. Physical science also accepts that the gross has originated from the subtle hence the reason for the origin of this world is the Formless Power. In a broad sense, the ‘word’ and the ‘light’ are the cause of the origin of this world. Word and light are the incorporeal forms of that conscious power.

• In the beginning, there was only ‘word’. Light is the conscious form of ‘word’. Thus, word and light are not two different things, instead they are the expression of the same conscious power, just like a diamond emits light but light and diamond are not two different things but only one. When the incorporeal power decided to expand itself, that is, when it decided to create the universe, then it was only by its will-power that it changed its formless form to subtle and then from subtle to gross. The form of the world that we see today is the form of that supreme conscious incorporeal power.

  - Gurudev Shri Ramlalji Siyag

  When the creation of different ‘Lok’ (abodes) began, the first ‘Lok’ that was created has been named ‘Agam-Lok’ by the sages. In this ‘Lok’, God has appeared in the form of a child. The bright light that emanates from this child-form illuminates this ‘Lok’. In this ‘Lok’, the ‘word’ in its subtlest form is present in direct experience.

• After this, the Supreme Power moved down and created a second Lok which has been named ‘Alakh-Lok’ by the sages. In this Lok, the form of the ‘word’ changed into a subtle wave and the Supreme Power transformed into a blue colour but the form of light is white only. The form of this Lok is also not visible due to being very subtle and can be seen only through divine vision.

• After this, the Supreme Power went further down and created a Lok that has been called ‘Sat-Lok’ by the sages. In this Lok also the form of that Supreme Power is blue but the light is white like that of ‘Agam’ and ‘Alakh’ Lok. Here also, the form of the ‘word’ expresses itself in the form of waves. In this Lok, God has appeared in the form of Guru.

• Despite the above three ‘Lok’ (abodes) being different from each other, they have all been created from pure consciousness. There is no effect of any type of Maya in these abodes. After reaching these abodes, a being is freed from the afflictions of time, pain, misery, and the cycle of birth and death. There are countless islands in these three abodes that have been created by pure consciousness. Innumerable beings, who have been freed from the cycle of birth and death, reside on these islands.

• After this, going down further, the Supreme Power created the universe. Here, the Supreme Power manifested HIMSELF in two forms pure consciousness and pure Maya. The universe (Brahmand OR Brahm-Lok) was created by the word and light. The place below this has been called ‘Sahsradal-Kawal’ by the sages. Here, that Supreme Power appeared separately in the form of Radha and Krishna (Word and Light). From these two forms of the same Power- ‘Sat’, ‘Raj’, and ‘Tam’ means ‘Brahma’, ‘Vishnu’ and ‘Mahesh’ were created. Before the origin of these three powers, another Power was created that is known by the name of ‘Gayatri’. She is the Goddess of knowledge.

After this, the lower abodes (Lok) that were created by the Sat, Raj, and Tam (Trigunmaye-Maya) are known as ‘Mrityu-Lok’ (abodes of death) or ‘Pind-Lok’. There are six Chakras in this. In this creation, God, Human beings, and beings that are born by the following four ways are included.

• Jeraj - Those who are born wrapped in a membrane.

• Andaj - Those who are born within the egg.

• Swedaj - Those who are born from water and sweat.

• Uthmaj - Those who are born in the ground from the earth and heat. All the varieties of plants are included in this.

Five types of ‘Vrittis’ were created to make the beings work according to their ‘Karmas’. They are -

• 1.

  Desires

• 2.

  Anger

• 3.

  Greed

• 4.

  Attachment, and

• 5.

  Ego

Apart from this, four types of ‘Antahkaran’ appeared. They are-

• 1.

  Mann

• 2.

  Chitt

• 3.

  Buddhi

• 4.

  Ahankaar

Apart from this, there are five organs of senses called ‘Gyanendriya’. They are -

• 1.

  Eyes

• 2.

  Ears

• 3.

  Nose

• 4.

  Tongue

• 5.

  Skin

There are five ‘Karmendriya' (organs to perform actions) -

• 1.

  Hands

• 2.

  Legs

• 3.

  Tongue to speak

• 4.

  Organ to excrete urine

• 5.

  Organ to defecate stool

• Because these subtle and gross worlds are filled with Maya, hence many kinds of elusive pleasures have been manifested by Maya to lure the beings into enjoying them through the mind and senses and thus it has entrapped them in its whirlpool of illusion. In this way, the being, trapped by the ‘Trigunamayi’ Maya, is suffering under the temptation of transitory worldly pleasures. These elusive pleasures look like ambrosia in appearance, but their result is like poison. In this way, the being is suffering caught in this net.

There is only one way to get out of this trap. The ‘word’ is a subtle wave emanating from the Supreme Power. The Supreme Power can be reached only with the help of that ‘word’ and there is no other way. Light emanates from the conscious word, just like in a diamond, that drives the darkness away.With the help of the light that is coming from the ‘Agam Lok’, it is possible to reach its place of origin. Apart from this, it is impossible to connect with the Supreme Power by any other means of worship.

- Gurudev Shri Ramlalji Siyag

• Up to the sixth Chakra, different types of powers in the field of Maya are capable of giving all perishable pleasures. The being gets lost in the pursuit of these perishable pleasures and the whole life is wasted in vain in this. He regrets this at the fag end of his life but now there is no alternative left to save him. He is now bound to sink. To save oneself from all this mess, our sages have told us to take refuge in the lotus feet of the Guru.

• The sages have said that what is in the universe is within. All the sages have unanimously said that God is present in everything then how can the people of this age find HIM outside? The inner path can be told only by the one who has realized God by travelling on that path. Only the conscious person who is connected to that Supreme Power knows the real secret of the path that leads to the ‘Agam Lok’.

• God is a source of power that is stronger than the millions of suns put together. Guru is the wire that is connected with that Power. If you get connected with that wire (Guru), immediately that light will appear within you. The word (mantra) given by that enlightened Guru will instantly create light within you. In this way, the power which is lying in an unconscious state within you due the influence of Maya will immediately become conscious and in a moment drive away the darkness which is the form of Maya. In this way, the Soul-consciousness that comes within you, will protect you from all kinds of obstacles and problems, and unite you fearlessly with the Supreme Power. In this way, the being is saved from the cycles of birth and death.

• In this age, after reading the glories of Guru in our scriptures, shrewd people have started misusing the title of Guru. Thus, today the number of Gurus in the world has exceeded the number of disciples. A lot has been said in all of our scriptures about the glories of the Guru.

The position of the Guru has been considered higher than even God. Saint Meera Bai has also said,

If I am asked to choose between Guru and Govind (God), I would prefer to choose Guru over Govind. If I choose God and then if I get separated from Him by the divine will, it will be impossible to meet God again but if Guru’s grace is there then despite getting separated from God a thousand times, God will have to unite with me.

- Saint Meera Bai

• In this way, all those who believe saints have sung the glories of the Guru. On meeting such a most-merciful Guru, the being is immediately benefitted. There is no distance with respect to time in the spiritual world. Just as the light is produced by pressing an electric button, similarly, a true Guru can enlighten you instantly since the Guru is directly connected with that Supreme Power. If the ‘wire’ (Guru) is fake then it is impossible to spread the light even after countless births. If the person is conscious then he will have a direct realization of it in the very first meeting otherwise, no matter how much time you waste, nothing will happen.
