A heavenly realm where a great invisible Spirit dwells in an infinite cloud of light
"On the very first day of Sahaja Yoga self-realization and meditation Kash found himself standing on an endless cover of clouds. Where was this incredible, utterly peaceful Shangri-La he had stumbled upon? There was one distinguishing celestial landscape that held him spellbound — The Light! It was shining high above at a distance. He kept gazing at it, spellbound by its indescribable uniqueness and infinite luminosity. It was an extremely bright globe, much brighter than many suns. In spite of its dazzling brightness it never hurt the eyes.”
"Jesus then takes Judas aside and begins to teach him privately what
the others are not yet ready to hear: that beyond the visible world
they know is a heavenly realm where a great invisible Spirit dwells
in an infinite cloud of light. Although surpassing description, this
creative energy is the divine source of all things, both those in
heaven and those on earth.”

On the very first day of Sahaja Yoga self-realization and meditation
Kash found himself standing on an endless cover of clouds. Where was
this incredible, utterly peaceful Shangri-La he had stumbled upon?
There was one distinguishing celestial landscape that held him
spellbound — The Light! It was shining high above at a distance.
He kept gazing at it, spellbound by its indescribable uniqueness and
infinite luminosity. It was an extremely bright globe, much brighter
than many suns. In spite of its dazzling brightness it never hurt the
eyes.
Since Kash had never seen anything that bright he thought it must be
the sun, but at a much closer proximity. His father, finding no other
logical explanation, also agreed.
After months of meditation it began to slowly dawn that what Kash was
seeing could not possibly be the sun.
But Kash kept on insisting that it had to be as nothing he had seen
on Earth shone so bright.
Uncertainty came into his father's inquisitive mind. He had this
peculiar habit of not believing anything unknown or speculative
unless proven beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt. The sun that his
son was seeing did not make sense. Not only was it just above the
Great Adi Shakti but it did not emit heat!
On September 11, 1994, at 13:05 p.m., the word Shaibhang (Self-
illumined) at the opening stanza of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib
indicated that there was more to this Truth than met the mind. If
Guru Nanak had described Shaibhang to be Self-Illumined, then
the"very bright sun"that Kash spoke about could not be true.
Moreover, his extraordinary observation of this 'sun' created more
questions and doubts. He maintained that:
i) This"Sun"Is always behind Her at an angle but is not
directly above, that is, at about 45 degrees.
ii) It did not rise and fall like the earthly sun. The"Sun"
above Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is fixed and stationary.
iii) This"Sun"Illuminates the entire Kingdom of God. Every
thing is seen very clearly and in fine detail, down to the different
hues of skin tone. (That is why Kash was absolutely sure that Shri
Jesus had a light brown skin, and wearing whitish gray clothes
stretched taut by the sheer size of His muscular body.)
1v) Kash could not ascertain the exact size and distance of
this"Sun"despite numerous visits.
v) In spite of its intense brightness this"Sun"emitted no
heat. On the contrary, Kash said that the rays are cool!
Then one day he astounded his father by claiming that there are no
shadows from the rays of this Sun! In all his journeys Kash insisted
he never saw any shadow in the Kingdom of the Spirit.
Though questioned many times he maintained that this"Sun"does not
produce any shadow, physical properties that are ubiquitous in our
universal sun.
Kash was told by his father to clarify this issue with Shri Viswamata
Nirmala Devi. There was something strange about this"Sun"that Kash
daily witnessed.
Kash meditated and the Divine Kundalini at the sacrum bone took him
up the Tree of Life into the Bridal Chamber. He burst through the
clouds and reached His Kingdom within. The Infinite Light shone ever
so brilliantly from above the Eternal Throne of the Great Mater
Divinae Gratiae (Mother of Divine Grace) as She sat in Bliss and Joy.
Shri Lok Mata Shri Nirmala Devi met him and the question of the"Sun"
above Her was put forward.
The Spirit of the Living God then explained that it was not the sun
that he was seeing but the Light.
A few years later on April 7, 1996 Kash's younger brother Arwinder
was asked if he had seen any sun or light when meditating with the
Great Primordial Mother.
He immediately replied that there was always a Light at Her place,
but was not the sun. He was sure of the difference as this Light,
though extremely bright, did not hurt the eyes. He added that unlike
the Earth sun that blinds his eyes easily, one can look at this Light
for as long as possible. However, he could not recall if there were
shadows or not.
On February 23, 1998, at 11.40 a.m. he was again asked about this
Light above Shri Mataji. He reconfirmed that it was always above Her.
He was then asked if there were shadows or not. This time he
immediately replied that there were none. He was asked if he was very
sure. His reply was that he was definitely sure.
On July 10 1998, at 10.35 a.m. Arwinder was posed the same question
as to whether this Light caused any shadows. Again he replied there
were none.
We must understand that for a child to say that light cause no
shadows in the Spiritual World, unlike the common daily experience on
Earth, requires the overwhelming confidence of an authentic spiritual
experience.
On May 4, 2004 at 7.30 am 10-year-old Lalita was asked about this
Light:
Father: What is above Shri Mataji's head?
Lalita: The Light.
Father: Can you look at it for a long time?
Lalita: Yes, you can look at it.
Father: Does it not blind you?
Lalita: It doesn't blind me.
Father: Is it different from the sun you see on Earth?
Lalita: Yes.
Father: Why?
Lalita: it's smaller.
Father: Anything else?
Lalita: It doesn't blind you. What else? ...... it's brighter. OK?
Father: Thank you Lalita.

A few months ago I asked my ten-year-old daughter Lalita what that immensely brilliant Light above the Adi Shakti in her Sahasrara is. She replied"God!"
i remained silent for a long time to absorb the immensity of that single word answer.
"As Jesus talks with his three chosen disciples, Matthew asks him to show him the"place of life," which is, he says, the"pure light.” Jesus answers," Every one [of you] who has known himself has seen it.”53 Here again, he deflects the question, pointing the disciple instead toward his own self-discovery.”
(53. Dialogue of the Savior 132.15 — 16, in NHL 233.)

“It is such a powerful Light. You can verify it whether it is eternal or not. You have to see for yourself you have such a unique Light within you. In the history of spirituality of this world so many have got Realization — such a Light in them. How could these stupid, flimsy, useless conditionings dominate you now, when you are the carrier of Eternal Light?”
