I beg to present this my humble work to the English reader. It is the
history of the Universe from its birth to its dissolution. I have
explained the science of creation, its making and its mechanism. In
doing so I have drawn my information from the recorded facts in the
Sacred Books of the Root-Race of mankind. Some facts and explanations
are herein furnished for the first time in any modern language. This
book embodies true Hinduism.
If read with an open mind, it will serve the reader with illumination
and solve many a riddle of life, untie many a tangle of thought. I have
spoken throughout from out of the depths of the ages. I have thought
absolutely in Sanscrit and expressed myself in English, an imperfect
medium for expressing Sanscrit, ideas. My object has been to impress my
readers with the substance of Hindoo thought in all its purity. This has
not been done before even by Hindoo writers on Hindoo religion and
philosophy. They have cared to humor the Western readers, by putting in
a mixture of Western thought and dressing it up in Western ways of
expression. I have not done so, because I know that in reading an
Eastern book the Western mind wants purely Eastern thought in pure
Eastern dress.
This will afford all soul-hungry readers with enough healthy food and
drink. The first part of the book contains the food, the Kernel of the
Soul-cocoanut; the second part, its Sweet Milk. The third part is from
Krishna Himself. It is the purest Nectar of Spiritual Love. Let the
reader open his heart to it, and I am sure it will fill it with ecstasy.
The soulful reader will thrill with the joyous vibrations of every
sentence of the "Messages and Revelations."
The belief that our life begins with the birth of this physical body and
ends with its death is the worst superstition, because it is the worst
obstacle in the way of our soul's unfoldment. This life has sprung from
Eternity; it draws its breath in Eternity, and is finally absorbed by
Eternity which is Absolute Love. To know that we, human beings, were
never blessed with greater powers than we possess in this age is the
saddest of mistakes. To believe that we were once as great and powerful
as divine beings and that we can recover that greatness and those
powers, is to believe in the actual potentialities of the human mind.
This life can be made one long ecstatic song; this life can, if we take
the trouble to make it, be made the source of joy to ourselves as well
as to all around us forever and ever; it can even attain to the Essence
of Godhood, from which it has sprung, by developing uninterrupted
God-Consciousness.
