The following is an excerpt from one of Surya Ma’s discourses and talks during darshan,
a contemplative gathering of aspirants seeking truth and illumination.

any souls who first come to me initially ask what is the nature of my teaching. They ask this because my gift to the seeking soul is the direct transmission of the divine. And yes I am a Master Teacher of the Sacred Archives of the Universal Brotherhood of Light, but it is the transmission of divine embodiment that goes beyond all language, all religion and all doctrine and truly instills the soul with the light and love of God. One can understand emanation of the divine in many ways from the context of the light of higher consciousness, God Consciousness, Christ Consciousness or simply the tangible presence of supreme deity. The direct transmission of the divine emanates purely from the divine, from source, from the origin of all that is sacred in this universe and beyond. It is not dependant on words on a page or spiritual practices, meditation methods, rituals or ceremonies as a means of providing a personal experience or direct contact with the realms of the sacred, although these things can enhance ones ability to receive and benefit from direct transmission.

Direct transmission offers all possible wavelengths of experience because it is holographic and infinite in nature. It can be received intellectually, kinesthetically or transcendently, through the channels of the mind or the heart or the soul, as well as through the primal instincts of physical body awareness. The life changing, heart pounding, mind expanding, transcendent goose-bump moment, wherein direct transmission is experienced opens an immediate bridge to all things of pure spirit, by virtue of the manifest presence of the divine. Only those teachers who have achieved divine embodiment have the capacity to emanate divine presence. They have embodied that of which they speak and teach. They have mastered the lower nature and the illusions of the ego. They have crossed through the veils and live in this world but not of it. They are not merely regurgitating a doctrine or representing a philosophy. And this is not only very important for the seeking soul, student, initiate or disciple who wants a true master of the sacred for their guide or teacher on the path, it is crucial.

What I offer does indeed unify and uphold the sacred principles that all traditions aspire to, but is not a specific religion, cult, spiritual organization or a rigid doctrine that spells out the dos and don’ts at a mundane level. And I do indeed teach the Sacred Archives of the Brotherhood of Light, which makes available the sacred knowledge of the universal laws and principles of creation, the nature of time, the architecture of the cosmos, the aspects, attributes and qualities of the divine, and methods that perfect ones ability to serve the divine; however, I do so through the direct transmission of the divine. I offer an immediate, instantaneous ever-present bridge or gateway to the divine, because I am that gateway. I embody it, sustain it, emanate it and therefore provide it.

And yes of course, I also teach what I reverently call the Methods of the Masters, as there are indeed spiritual practices, approaches, and techniques that serve as essential tools for transformation. I teach the sacred arts in their myriad of applications from healing, to self-mastery, to conscious co-creation. Methods for personal purification, prayer, and meditation, as well as techniques that cultivate higher mind focus, all contribute to the steady embodiment of divine principles. Bringing the science of transformation and spiritual healing, the science of meditation and thought form building, and the science of synthesis and service are but a few of the miracles of sacred knowledge that await the earnest initiate in the Great Halls of Wisdom that I am here to convey. And because my teaching path is rooted in service to the divine, perfecting the instrument of the soul through these tried and true methods are a tremendous boon to the student or initiate of higher consciousness and enlightenment.

And yet, however helpful doctrines, practices and techniques might be, the direct transmission of the divine offers an instantaneous, immediate influx of spiritual energy that ignites and vivifies the soul and awakens and catapults higher life purpose into a new life wheel or potential of experience. The eastern traditions call the capacity to emanate spiritual energy “shakti or divine force” where as a Christian context of understanding might refer to this as the “Christ anointing or slaying in the spirit,” however; there are many, many levels of manifestation and application on this topic. What is received during the emanation of divine presence, whether that might be a transmission teaching or a miracle healing is unique for each soul or pilgrim on the path. You will experience what is timely and resonant for you because of the boundless, all encompassing nature of divine light to give precisely what is most needed. What I want you to receive is that purity. I am truly serving you when my words fall into the background and you find the gateway of transcendence and begin drinking directly from the wellspring of divine presence. Divine presence is what I offer you, whether I am speaking or whether I am sitting with you in silence and for the mature initiate much of what I transmit is best given in the perfection of silence.

And so I extend to you the direct experience of the essence of the divine, in addition to an intellectual understanding, because one cannot know God or even oneself only through the mind, we must experience divinity with our entire being.  My teaching is not limited to the words that I speak, although my teachings do offer an exquisite cohesion of thought as stepping stones to intellectual illumination.  But beyond this, I am a master at triggering the light codes within sound through command of the living word and when the seeker allows this to take place, divine light itself becomes the teacher and that purity of vibration reverberates throughout ones entire being. This stimulates the indwelling spirit within oneself to become conscious and active, rather than unconscious and inactive. I am also a master of directing divine force to activate the light-body or energy field that envelopes the physical body to increase its vibration and integration into the material body, which merges the spirit with the flesh, thus commencing the “ soul merge” which commences the true transformation of living a flesh-bound life, to living ones life in the boundlessness of spirit.

While it is essential to have a solid foundation of mental and intellectual understanding, which the Universal Teachings of Wisdom provide like long lost treasures of perfection, it is also essential to provide the palpable force field of divine grace, love and wisdom as the sacred space that is most conducive for the spontaneous unfolding of personal spiritual revelation and what has long been called self-realization in the eastern traditions. As a master teacher it is the tangible experience of the divine that I provide.  What I offer does not come from books that I have read or doctrines that I have ingested or teachers that I claim to have trained with. It has always moved from within me in a direct and spontaneous way, through light and through the sound within light and the meaning within that sound, since my experiences of divine ecstasy and holiness became conscious as a small child.  Light has always been my primary teacher and gateway to the supreme heart of God, although there have been significant influences along the way for which I am grateful in the form of embodied teachers and immortal masters.

I grew from childhood to adulthood fully awake to the divine worlds with the channels of communication wide open to the heavenly host of celestial beings that have ever been my companions and beloveds in spirit. The connection to the spiritual side of life has always been far more vivid and real for me than this world of fleeting forms and reflections. This was passed to me from my grandmother who was a very holy woman, a healer and by all definition a true saint and together we sat in recognition of the truth of God. I have always known that spirit is eternal and that life is sacred and that I am here to serve the awakening of consciousness within form. I have always experienced all of my life times here on Earth as a single time-continuum or composite of wisdom, no different than experiencing the various assundry experiences of a single day as being cohesive whole from waking up in the morning to retiring for sleep at the end of the day. Likewise, I experience my universal embodiments in a similar fashion, as a cohesive whole. I live in a continuum of wholeness. I live in the eternal ocean rather than in a momentary droplet of water. I live in the infinite body of the divine, rather than in a single incarnation. As I say this, I want you to also know that the beauty and significance of the single droplet of water or a single incarnation is no less sacred or meaningful and no less full of life, wonder and opportunity for immersion in the divine from that vantage point in time.

It is the supreme love within the Divine Plan, God’s Divine Plan for the salvation and enlightenment of all souls that has always provided humanity with awakened teachers as guideposts and way showers. I provide this presence of embodied remembrance of the divine.  It is this divine presence in the flesh, right here in the midst of everyday life, that opens the way for the skeptical, fear burdened mind, to become the illumined, fearless mind. It is the vibrational presence of truth and love that enables seekers and initiates to enter the gateways to their own divine remembrance of what is true and real and holy. I am no less aware and embodied of my essential nature in God, whether I am playing with my grandchildren on the floor amongst diapers and toys or offering a sacred ceremony while robed in a silk sari. The divine is the unchanging permanence behind the temporal coming and going of all manifest forms. All is the Lotus of Divine Life, and all is Divine, and all is the Life within the Life.

So my life example and the living of this life embodiment is also my teaching of enlightenment. I am very experiential. No true master teacher can be otherwise. I love to teach initiates in the midst of the every day life stuff. That is my most fertile classroom. That is where real mastery must be brought down from the lofty towers of mere understanding and ideas of higher consciousness to the visceral embodiment of divinity in the midst of any and all circumstances.  One cannot merely know, one must “Be” and this being is indeed effortless because the enlightened soul is simply being itself. It matters not what the outer surroundings are. The divine cannot be other than itself.

This is something of a challenge especially for westerners to comprehend at first, as skepticism, mistrust and withholding is so prevalent. Here in the west our web of life is very shattered and our primary fear is each other. Village life is scarce, marriages are often multiple, soul level bonds are rare and our natural interdependence as living beings is very fragmented and distorted. So I understand why many people who come to me want a package deal. They want an explanation of my teachings that they can examine. They want techniques and quick fixes. And most want to be able to “know” what lies ahead and thus control their experience of me and of themselves from the framework of their limited understanding as an ego or personality. But how can the ego know anything? How can one receive a direct experience of the divine, if the ego mind is controlling the entire experience? So this is the dilemma here in the west. We can’t tell the difference between the inherent wisdom of discernment and the skepticism that pushes away what it doesn’t already know so it can derive a sense of control and false supremacy.
