Supermundane
871. Urusvati knows the true meaning of continuity. Most people fear this natural phenomenon, and invent many explanations to support their desire to believe in interrupted existence. Some of them even believe that sleep is an interruption, forgetting that sleep brings the renewal of rhythm and contact with Higher Forces. Others go still further; they do not want to understand that departure from the earthly state is simply a change in a person’s state of being, and hope that so-called death ends life.
The phenomenon of continuity is an aspect of the beauty of World Creation. It can be understood as a form of tension. One may garb oneself in a new garment, but the seed of the spirit lives in continuity. It not only lives, it also responds to the Cosmic Magnet.
Is humanity in such a low state that it does not realize the beautiful law of ascent? If we cannot dare to hope that man will fully accept the law of World Creation, let him at least harken to the harmonious voice of nature, and admit the existence of the supermundane life. Thus We shall find a point of contact and can restore mankind’s consciousness to health.
The Thinker used to say, “Accept continuity, it will lead you to the Gates of Eternity.”
In this paragraph, the Master makes us reflect on the continuity of life and how we understand it.
Although many of us believe in reincarnation, many of us struggle to understand the continuity of life. Here, he shows us that if we think life is interrupted in each incarnation, or similarly in sleep, and then restarts where it left off at the beginning of a new incarnation or a new day, we are mistaken. We must expand our consciousness and assimilate the fact that even when we sleep, even between incarnations, life continues, that there is consciousness, and we can advance and work in those stages of life because they are also another stage of life.
It is important that life has a purpose, but that purpose should not be limited only to the present incarnation. This purpose must encompass the continuity of life; it must be a purpose that gives our life continuum a motivation, an impulse that propels us beyond the temporary circumstances of an incarnation, that makes us useful from now until eternity.
