Without question Jesus' sending of the Comforter is a futuristic
eschatological event. Without question the Comforter has to be human
in order to teach all things and remind humanity of everything Jesus
has said. Without question the Comforter has to incarnate on Earth,
where humans live, in order to enlighten them. Without question the
Comforter has to be the Holy Spirit too, if Jesus is to be believed.
Without question these exacting biblical eschatological expectations,
events and signs have already manifested on Earth.
Since the Comforter and Holy Spirit are one and the same, then the
following eschatological events have been accomplished by Shri Mataji:
i) The Holy Spirit has already abided with the believers forever (John
14:16). This is only possible if the Holy Spirit remains within
each and every human taking part in the Last Judgment abd Resurrection
for the rest of the natural lives, and beyond i.e., for all eternity;
ii) The Holy Spirit has already testified on the behalf of Jesus
(John 15:26). This is only possible if the Holy Spirit is human too
i.e., meeting, speaking, explaining in detail, as well as answering
questions, in languages humans can understand;
iii) The Holy Spirit has already brought all aspects of Jesus
teachings to remembrance (John 14:26). Obviously they must concern
unlocking the deep secrets of Jesus' parables, of which the Kingdom
of God within tops the list;
iv) The Holy Spirit has already reproved the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment i.e., issue warnings of impending
judgment to a world full of sin and ungodliness (John 16:8);
v) The Holy Spirit has already at all times guided and spoken the
truth of events that are coming (John 16:13) i.e., that the Last
Judgment and Resurrection has begun and all are welcome to enter the
Kingdom of God and eternal life prior to the death and destruction of
the Second Coming and End. Obviously the truth, directed exclusively
at a world of sin, decadence and ungodliness, has to be unprecedented,
radical and explosive, ................. and it is;
vi) The Holy Spirit has already glorified Jesus and declared all that
the later wants delivered to humanity (John 16:14). This task of
informing humans in detail of a wide range of spiritual and religious
issues on a global scale obviously requires many, many years to
accomplish, all the more since such knowledge is revealed for the very
first time ever;
Thus any arrogant or ignorant human who blasphemes the Holy Spirit
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi-sent by Jesus Christ and God Almighty to
both enlighten and warn humanity-will never ever be forgiven.
And what does "eschatological" mean, and what has it got to do with
the events taking place on Earth? The Merriam-Webster's Online
Dictionary is quoted below:
"Main Entry: es·cha·to·log·i·cal
1 : of or relating to eschatology or an eschatology
2 : of or relating to the end of the world or the events associated
with it in eschatology
Main Entry: es·cha·tol·o·gy
1 : a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the
history of the world or of humankind
2 : a belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate
destiny of humankind; specifically : any of various Christian
doctrines concerning the Second Coming, the resurrection of the dead,
or the Last Judgment"
So be clearly forewarned! This explicit warning is not only for
Christians to heed but the rest of humanity as well. It is far better
they remain silent as there is absolutely no forgiveness for those who
blaspheme the Holy Spirit, an unpardonable crime against God Almighty
for causing injury to His Spirit by false accusations. Again, be
amply forewarned!

"But the Fathers of the Church, commenting on the Gospel texts we are
treating of, did not confine themselves to the meaning given above.
Whether it be that they wished to group together all objectively
analogous cases, or whether they hesitated and wavered when
confronted with this point of doctrine, which St. Augustine declares
(Serm. ii de verbis Domini, c. v) one of the most difficult in
Scripture, they have proposed different interpretations or
explanations.
St. Thomas, whom we may safely follow, gives a very good summary of
opinions in II-II, Q. xiv. He says that blasphemy against the Holy
Ghost was and may be explained in three ways:
Sometimes, and in its most literal signification, it has been taken
to mean the uttering of an insult against the Divine Spirit, applying
the appellation either to the Holy Ghost or to all three Divine
persons. This was the sin of the Pharisees, who spoke at first
against "the Son of Man", criticizing the works and human ways of
Jesus, accusing Him of loving good cheer and wine, of associating
with the publicans, and who, later on, with undoubted bad faith,
traduced His Divine works, the miracles which He wrought by virtue of
His own Divinity.
On the other hand, St. Augustine frequently explains blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost to be final impenitence, perseverance till
death in mortal sin. This impenitence is against the Holy Ghost, in
the sense that it frustrates and is absolutely opposed to the
remission of sins, and this remission is appropriated to the Holy
Ghost, the mutual love of the Father and the Son. In this view,
Jesus, in Matthew 12 and Mark 3 did not really accuse the Pharisees
of blaspheming the Holy Ghost, He only warned them against the danger
they were in of doing so.
Finally, several Fathers, and after them, many scholastic
theologians, apply the expression to all sins directly opposed to
that quality which is, by appropriation, the characteristic quality
of the Third Divine Person. Charity and goodness are especially
attributed to the Holy Ghost, as power is to the Father and wisdom to
the Son. Just, then, as they termed sins against the Father those
that resulted from frailty, and sins against the Son those that
sprang from ignorance, so the sins against the Holy Ghost are those
that are committed from downright malice, either by despising or
rejecting the inspirations and impulses which, having been stirred in
man's soul by the Holy Ghost, would turn him away or deliver him from
evil."
(www.newadvent.org/)
It is indeed true that the comprehension and explanation of blasphemy
against the Holy Spirit is "one of the most difficult in Scripture".
It is also true that even after centuries of countless theological
debate amongst Christian scholars they have always "hesitated and
wavered when confronted with this point of doctrine".
The above explanation is the best the Catholic scholars could
conjecture. Yet it makes little sense and leaves many questions
unanswered. In fact it creates more confusion and doubt than
enlightenment and faith - try reading it with deliberation and you
will understand what i am trying to say.
So how does blasphemy against the Holy Spirit make sense? It only
does if it is understood that:
The word "comforter" is translated from the word "Paraclete" ("Ho
Parakletos" in Greek). Parakletos in Greek is interpreted as "an
advocate", one who pleads the cause of another, one who councils or
advises another from deep concern for the other's welfare (Beacon
Bible commentary volume VII, p.168). In these verses we are told that
after Jesus departs, a Paraclete will one day come, will glorify
Jesus, and will guide mankind into all truth. The main signs and
characteristics of the Comforter are as follows:
i) The Comforter must abide with the believers forever (John 14:16).
This is only possible if the Comforter remains within each and every
human for the rest of the natural lives and beyond i.e., for all
eternity;
ii) The Comforter must testify on the behalf of Jesus (John 15:26).
This is only possible if the Comforter is human too i.e., meeting,
speaking, explaining in detail, as well as answering questions, in
languages humans can understand;
iii) The Comforter must bring all aspects of Jesus teachings to
remembrance (John 14:26). Obviously they must concern unlocking the
deep secrets of Jesus' parables, of which the Kingdom of God within
tops the list;
iv) The Comforter must reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment i.e., issue warnings of impending
judgment to a world full of sin and ungodliness (John 16:8);
v) The Comforter must at all times guide and speak the truth of
events that are coming (John 16:13). Obviously the truth, directed
exclusively to a world of sin and ungodliness, has to be absolutely
unprecedented, radical and explosive;
vi) The Comforter must glorify Jesus and declare all that the
later wants delivered to humanity (John 16:14). This task of
informing humans on a global scale requires many, many years to
accomplish;
vii) The Comforter -whom the Father will send in Jesus' name, and
teach all things and remind humanity of everything Jesus has said-
will be the Holy Spirit (John 14:26). Thus the personality
enlightening humanity of Jesus' teachings will be both the Comforter
and Holy Spirit sent by God Almighty in Jesus' name.
Shri Mataji is the Comforter, the Helper or Paraclete who has for
more than three decades glorified Christ and-through Her Divine
Message of the Last Judgment and Resurrection-guided mankind into all
truth. All who receive their second birth by the Spirit (Self-
realization) experience today what Jesus' disciples experienced
two millennia ago on the day of Pentecost. The awesome, fundamental
difference between both phenomena is that the present experience of
the Holy Spirit manifesting within humans was promised by Lord
Jesus ..... and is taking place all over Earth. This truth is
irrefutable as hundreds of thousands have felt it. The tens of
thousands who continue to meditate on the Holy Spirit within feel it
on a daily basis. Some even experience the Ruach on a 24/7 basis!
In the Gospel of St. John, Jesus tells the disciples of the Holy
Spirit that will come in his name and shall bring all things to their
remembrance. That verily has been accomplished by the Holy Spirit
over the last three decades!
St. Augustine declared that the doctrine of blasphemy against the
Holy Spirit is one of the most difficult in scripture. But it would
have made so much sense if Christians, their scholars, clergy and
churches had believed that Lord Jesus will keep His promise to send
the Comforter who will:
i) abide with the believers forever (John 14:16);
ii) testify on the behalf of Jesus (John 15:26);
iii) bring all aspects of His teachings to remembrance (John 14:26);
iv) reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8);
v) guide and speak the truth of events that are coming (John 16:13);
vi) glorify Jesus and declare all that He wants delivered to humanity
(John 16:14);
Only then would it have made sense to Christians, their scholars,
clergy and churches that the Comforter - whom the Father will send in
Jesus' name, and teach all things and remind humanity of everything
Jesus has said - will _also_ be the Holy Spirit (John 14:26).
Without all this information and evidence that Jesus' promise has
been exactingly fulfilled by the advent of Shri Mataji, the doctrine
of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will remain a most difficult
doctrine for Christians to comprehend, as has been the case for more
than 20 centuries!
But that is nothing compared to them being unaware or disbelieving
that the Last Judgment and Resurrection is taking place, a Divine
Message that the Comforter was entrusted to declare without any fear
or hesitation. Just like the doctrine of blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit, the doctrine of the Last Judgment and Resurrection has also
been a most difficult doctrine to comprehend. Most unfortunately,
both have been conjectured over the centuries by humans devoid of
enlightenment. That is why the Savior promised two millennia ago that
He will send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit who explain, testify,
declare, warn and remind humanity of everything Jesus has said.
Jesus also explicitly warned that anyone who blasphemes the Holy
Spirit, that will be sent by God Almighty exclusively on His behalf
and request, will never be forgiven. This doctrine makes perfect
sense now. So does the doctrine of the Last Judgment and Resurrection:
Though you can understand that Mother’s Love makes it very easy for you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last Judgment, which looks such a horrifying experience, has been made very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not disturb you."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
repeatedly and openly declared in public by the same Holy Spirit for more than three decades ......... and explained with so much motherly love, tenderness, patience and detail to the believers in private.
regards to all,
