Beloved
aspirants,
Greetings:
Every
thinking man and woman, young or old, is consciously or unconsciously seeking
what BRAHMA VIDYA teaches.
Most religions
today will find nothing to conflict with their teachings in Brahma Vidya
(mentalphysics). Brhma Vidhya is not
designed to take the place of any particular religion - most religions teach that there is a spark of the divine in
every human being. Brhma Vidya merely helps you to realize this more clearly,
and to use the supreme intelligence within, in a practical way. It teaches a METHOD, not a creed.
This
message of introduction is placed in your hands in the hope that it should be
instrumental in tearing out by the roots all of evil, and lack, and
disappointment in life and replacing it with happiness, comfort, plenty and
a\success. This brings your word that
our conception of the shortness of life, and the necessity of sickness, and the
inevitability of poverty and want IS ALL A MISTAKE.
All
along, we have been deceived in these matters, or have deceived ourselves, and
have been suffering UNNECESSARILY, when
OLD AGE CAN BE POSTPONED FOR YEARS, SICKNESS MADE A RARE AND BRIEF AFFAIR,
ELIMINATED ALTOGETHER IN MANY CASES, and
that there is, available to us, health in abundance, happiness supreme, mental
power that is simply astonishing, and MONEY FAR BEYOND OUR REASONABLE
HOPES. There is within you a mighty
power that can take you ten times as far in the accomplishment of your hopes
and ambitions as you have ever before gone.
There course of teaching being presented to you gives you an
understanding of that power, and methods for USING it, that are little known
elsewhere, and that have been HIDDEN away, except to a chosen few, for ages.
You may
perhaps think that this is an astounding declaration, but unless one gives
himself or herself an opportunity to test this power within by putting it to
use, personal conviction cannot materialize.
These things can ; happen here and now, in the year in which we are
living, not in some dim and distant future, or in the next life.
Like all
int3elligent people, you will appreciate that the greatest truths of life have
not hitherto been completely understood or realized. Mere intellectual understanding is nothing - the wise men ancient Rishis and Saints
have discovered that truth makes men free only when it is felt to the very
depths of the soul, made a MAINSPRING of our every thought and action. As stories of apparent miracles in many
parts of the world confirm, it gives the energy to accomplish the seemingly
impossible. There may be many who are
reconciled to the possibility of some incredible power latent in man, but there
are very few who know how to USE THIS GREAT POWER, how to call upon it when end
where they will. YET, FOR THREE
THOUSANDYESARS COMPARATIVELY SIMPLE MITHODS FOR USING ALL THIS POWER HAVE BEEN
DNOWN AND USESD BY THE WISE MEN IN THE REMOTE AREAS OF THE HIMALAYAS IN THE
TIBETAN REGION, IN PARTICULAR. From
generation to generation the methods have been improved upon and simplified,
until now they can be used with TREMENDOUS EFFECT by almost any intelligent
person. They can be used by you, in meeting your personal problems, in building
the superior mind and ability and power necessary to carry out your ambitions,
to fulfill your desires, and in giving you greater strength to fight off
sickness and old age. Like all honest
people, you no doubt fees that honesty should always be rewarded, that the good
things of life should not be only for the selfish. If you get in tune with the
great power within you, honesty is RECHLY AND QUICKLY REWARDED, and that THE
GOOD THINGS OF LIFE POLE THEMSELVES UPON THE UNSELFISH.
Like all
generous people, you want the ability to help your loved ones, to bring their
hopes, as well as your own, to fruition.
The power to do this is already within you, ready to be called upon and
used, and that the methods of these wise men WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THAT
POWER IN SEEKING THE FULFILMENT OF SUCH A NOBLE AND UNSELFISH PURPOSE.
Like all
sincere people you are probably mystified by the seeming cruelty of sickness
and poverty and old age all around you.
All these are unnecessary, not intended by a kind creator, brought on,
principally by too much reliance on ourselves and too little upon the great
power within us and the methods developed by these wise men are effective in
relieving sickness, maintaining youth through many years, and eliminating
poverty altogether.
Down
through the ages, uncontaminated by our materialistic knowledge in a far
country where such knowledge could not reach, the ANCIESNT WISDOM HAS BEEN KEPT
ALIVE. How thankful we may be that,
sheltered behind the highest mountains in the world (Himalayas), this sacred
heritage has been preserved for us a higher understanding of the creative
power within us, and the methods wise men have discovered ford making the most
of that power in our daily lives and our daily affairs.
Century
after century, a carefully chosen group of wise men in Tibet have passed on,
from generation to generation, carefully guarded secrets that were considered
very sacred and rare. In the heart of ageless Asia, in the strange land of
Tibet, the torch of this wisdom still burns, carefully tended by a chosen
few. Into this forbidden place mystery,
this last home of the unknown, this roof of the world as it is called,
foreigners are not allowed to enter, except in rare cases and under special
conditions. It is still the least known country of the world, brooding silently
over the riddles of the ages, carefully guarding itself from the pollution of a
materialistic age.
And here
one of the latest of the age-old chain of wise men became my Guru who came to
be known as DING LE MEI. This Great
Teacher probably knows more about the inner teachings of the masters of the
ancient times in the behind the apparent miracles they perform than any man
elsewhere. Guru Ding Le Mei simplified these methods for the use of the present
day civilization and has been teaching the improvised methods now known as
mental-physics, in the west.
There is
a reserve of power within you that can take you ten times as far as you ever
thought you could go in all your activities, in all your efforts, in all your
desires, and lead you into the PARADISE that you have lost. There may be some of you those in whose
hands this brief introduction happens to come who are in agony right now,
tempted to give up, your problem may seem beyond your strength, but there is
still a ten times greater strength within you if you but learn to use it.
By
learning to use this great power, we may gain greater health, greater success
in whatever enterprise we choose, greater happiness, greater courage, sublime posse
and peace we may use it to become what we aspire to become.
Through
BRAHMA VIDYA (Mentalphysics) the students are taught methods- practices which
have been found very effective throughout hundreds of years of careful
experimentation by keen minds.
Inspiration comes from the supreme intelligence within. It is not a matter of reason, or of mere
education. It is a matter of getting in
touch with the vast mind within you that is many, many times more powerful than
your conscious mind. That subconscious
mind is ready to do your bidding, when you learn how to command it, to bring
forth great works, original ideas, the right thought at the right time - so
that your words are apt, your thoughts timely, your ideas inspired, and your
actions successful.
No
matter what your talents, no matter what your ambition, you should learn the
way to call upon the SOURCE OF ALL INSPIRATION within you. Thus you may become a brilliant
conversationalist, a moving public speaker; thus your letter-writing may
accomplish its purpose, your daily work stand above the ordinary, your greatest
ambition in all fields realized. What
have you done to get in touch with the source of all inspiration the Divine
Power within you? The supreme purpose
of Brahma Vidya (mental physics) is to do this for you. Call upon its powerful
aid n this high endeavour.
The
following information about the origin of the science of mental physics (now
becoming popular as Brahma Vidya) will be of help to inspire you kin taking up
these teachings by joining our classes in any one of our several centers in
Bombay.
About
1200 years ago, our ancient NALANDA University was a centre of learning and was
popular internationally. Many thinkers,
scientists and enthusiasts thronged this ancient seat of wisdom for light and
knowledge. NALANDA University had also
a Department of Yoga and Philosophy at that time, headed by a great teacher
Padma Sambhava by name. Foreseeing the
destruction of NALANDA University, this great yogi picked up a few of his
students from among the advanced group, and went to the Himalayas and set up an
Ashram in the Tibetan region. As his teachings were very sacred this were
closely guarded and, over the several centuries that followed, these were
handed down through selected students to the sufficiently evolved followers.
Towards
the closing years of the last century, one such student among the group, a
noble Lama, died while young, but soon was re-born in an English family in
England. Gods ways are mysterious,
strange and wonderful. The re-born Lama
(who was given the name of (EDWIN JOHN DINGLE in England) was later on,
mysteriously guided and drawn back to Tibet under strange circumstances, after
enduring an arduous journey on foot from Singapore across China en route
Tibet. Back in Tibet, in utter sickness
and fatigue, he was looked after in a Tibetan temple in which he had lived
during his former life. Slowly, Mr.
Dingle began recollecting the surrounding mountains, the temples nearby, and,
finally, his own teacher and his friends and colleagues. He had, however, to undergo the spiritual
training the spiritual breathing exercises beginning with the wonderful
Pranayama, and meditation, all over again in his new embodiment. After completing his studies and practices
for over nine months, Mr. Dingle went out into the world for teaching the
methods he had learnt at the feet of his Master in Tibet. K He set up an
institution in California in November 1927 and since them has been the source
and inspiration and learning for thousands of his fortunate students all over
the world. During his life in Tibet he
was lovingly knew him. I was fortunate to become his disciple in April 1949
and, after my training covering a period of three years, my Guru (Ding Le Mei)
entrusted me with the great work of carrying on his mission here, in India. The
name given by him to the course of his teachings is MENTAL PHYSICS.
MENTAL
PHYSICS, as you would have by now understood, is that interpretation of all
religions and philosophies sought by everyone.
Here their inner truths, their practical application in everyday life,
and their reconciliation with science, are embodied. It is, in fact, the Gospel of the new age a power in the hands
of those who faithfully follow highest capabilities, and their actual
demonstration in physical vitality, prolonged youth, intensified talents,
superior intelligence, growth of character, nobler and more abundant
lives. Happiness, joy, peace, harmony
and the power to which Mental physics or Brahma Vidya as we now call it, is the
guide.
