Introduction
Everyday, we see the sun. We live, move and work inside its radiance called sunlight. To our eyes, the sun is glorious and radiant. It fills the environment with its light. The sad thing is that it never occurs to the hearts and mind of people that each person carries within himself and as himself a radiant light that is more glorious than the sun. The radiant light is the soul, the God-in-seed form, within and as everyone.
The transfiguration of Jesus was a demonstration of this divine nature hidden inside the body of every person. Now that you have known this, it is your duty to pray for your own transfiguration.
Meaning Of Spiritual Blindness
In the night, a diamond pearl glows to our delight and satisfaction. But when a black cloth is used to cover it, the diamond pearl appears to be no longer present. Yet, it is there glowing as before the covering was placed on it. So it is with the souls of humanity.
The soul is the God principle, the God-in-seed form or the God-nature that is each of us.
In the perfect state, the soul is awake, knowing and active. Each soul has the qualities of God as its own qualities: knowledge, wisdom, understanding, love, peace, bliss, insight and foresight. But when the same soul is embedded into the flesh called human body, it seems not to be there and seems to lose most of its divine and glorious nature. A person who knows himself as entirely spirit, soul or son of God is said to be awake, enlightened and experienced.
When the soul is surrounded by darkness, it is said to be spiritually ignorant. Spiritual ignorance means that a person does not know he is a spirit, God-in-seed-form. He does not know that he is a soul, living in a human body. Such a person limits his abilities to the five senses, mind and intellect. He cannot use his spiritual powers and abilities. And many people do not even know that they are spirit and that they have spiritual powers. The art of removing the darkness covering the soul of a human being is called spiritual science and practice. It is the only science that is comprehensive. And it is everlasting!
