These
are words that Ramalinga directed to His disciples being in His
physical body:
"Religions
have multiplied innumerably under several names such as Saivism,
Vaishnavism, Buddhism, etc. Their gods, aims and goals and ways of
discipline are only different modifications and manifestations of
tatwas or principles of existence. Scriptures and books of
knowledge (such as Vedas, Agamas, Shastras and Puranas) are mental
and symbolic representations of the manifestations of tatwas.
Philosophical spiritual systems (such as Vedanta, Siddhanta,
Bodhanta, Yoganta, etc) and their ways of discipline only lead to
different and partial aspects of the Integral realization of my
Path. O Lord! You has withheld me from following these
disciplines, but guided me true knowledge since my youthhood
showing that the One Divine who gives Bliss to all the beings by
manifesting Himself both in the inner and outer levels of
existence is the Lord of Grace Light".
"Don't
pursue it as the goal to follow the books of learning such as
Veda, Agama, Purana, etc as they don't speak of the Truth of
Divine as in Himself but speak of Him only in a symbolical
language and not in a clear and direct manner. They have failed to
convey openly the Truth or essence of the Divine. They have
individualised the Universal, attributed human qualities and forms
to the universal gods... Similarly don't pursue after Religions
such as Saivism, Vaishnavism, etc or philosophical Disciplines
such as Vedanta, Siddhanta, etc. They have spoken of the Divine in
a representative and symbolical language and not in an openly
clear and direct manner of His essence. There is not enough time
for us to practise them, and even if you practise, you my get a
little result but not the great and incomparable Life of the
spiritual Realization of Divinity. I myself stand as a concrete
example to follow... It isn't because of my ardent faith and
practice of Saivite religion (in early life) that God has lifted
me up to this unclaimbable Height but because of the equal vision
of seeing gods, all beings and things as the forms and substance
of the Supreme Divine, and the feeling of Compassion for all, both
of which I followed as the Divine guided me in those days (since
my youthhood) to follow these two as the great disciplines of
Truth, and to abandon or eschew all Religions and philosophic
Disciplines".
"There
are many errors in the Scriptures of Religions and spiritual
philosophic systems. The reason for it is that those who wrote
them were under the influence of a mixture of Maya. Therefore
errors have resulted because of the obscurity of ignorance. It
isn't possible to write without defect or error except for those
Suddha Jnanis who have mastery over Maya. These errors will become
revealed when my Path comes to prevail effectively... The true
followers of my Path are only those who have abandoned the ways of
Religions and philosophies which are the main impediments to the
disciple, and who have by intuitive knowledge (Internal Guide)".
The
Path of Grace Light goes further beyond any other Way, since Its
Culmination is the Total Union with the Lord of Grace Light in
body and soul, as Ramalinga Himself realized. This Path isn’t
compatible with any other Religion or philosophical
Movement based on studying the Scriptures, carrying out Rituals of
Adoration and hard practices.
It
is clear enough in this
Message
revealed by Ramalinga to his disciples at the present:

"Don’t
look for the Truth may be revealed you in oral or written form,
because in this way your comprehension will be only mental. You’ll
be sure on you have a very high knowledge, but really you’ll
keep on being a big ignorant, because the mental comprehension
hasn’t any value, only the understanding that is reached
through the direct realization of the Truth is a real
Understanding. It is in the Heart and not in the mind where the
real Understanding arises, in the Pure Presence of the Lord of
Grace Light. This is the Complete Understanding, which doesn’t
require any discussion because there is no place for doubts. One
remains absolutely faithful to what has known in this way, not
having any fear of manifesting it openly in public because one’s
conviction is firm. If all the written books turn out to be
destroyed, if in all minds the oblivion suddenly happens, the Real
Understanding would prevail because never it will be able to be
destroyed. The Path of Grace Light grants the Real Understanding
to the one who follows faithfully the dictations of the Internal
Guide. Trust in Me, my Word is the Truth.
Don’t
think about how obtain Divine Blessings and Gifts by making
Rituals, because they have been carried out for milleniums but
they have been ineffective to get the world out from the darkness
and the ignorance which are the causes of its destruction. The One
who is the Origin of Everything that exists, what pleasure can get
in receiving these offerings? No delicacy is so exquisite as the
Pure Nectar that keeps in Itself the Divine Essence, no flower can
be equal in Beauty to the Splendour that the Supreme Lord
radiates, no fire has the same Transforming Power that the Grace
Light enjoys. Perhaps by Rituals some limited benefits may be
obtained, but only one thing can move the Lord of Grace Light to
grant the devout the Total Realization of the Divine Light, and it
is the disciple’s complete self-surrender. Leave your
preference for Rituals, don’t promote that they keep on
being realized, don’t foster that many people keep on
prospering at the expense of them while so great poverty prevail
in the world, don’t remain impassive in seeing how
delicacies are thrown to the fire while so many beings die by
famine every day. All that will not be fitted when the Grace Light
and my Path finally prevail.
Don’t
use to follow Ways based on the realization of hard and prolonged
spiritual practices. By great perseverance, the techniques that
have been taught from ancestral times might lead you to obtain
some short achievements; in this way only a few achieve the full
control over mind and body, and even less people get what is
called Liberation. These practices aren’t within reach of
all, not only due to their difficult realization but because of
learning them usually requires successive Initiations and the
payment of great sums of money. Don’t be deceived, don’t
allow that the fascination for spiritual practice should disguise
this Truth: the Total Union with the Lord of Grace Light is
further beyond Liberation and cannot be reached by these means but
by direct Transforming Action of Grace. Leave your tendency to
believe that you need a hard sadhana, because the Path of Grace
Light is easy to follow for the one who, with pure and simple
Heart, surrenders fully to the Transformation of Grace Light,
since always has on one’s part the Power of Grace and will
be able to enjoy without measure the Delights that the Divine Lord
lavishes.
People
have got accustomed to live in the multiplicity, so that they
conceive everything as "multiple". Try to reach the
Unity by reunify the multiple is an impossible task, because the
“multiple-people” like to continue being in the
multiplicity and, although they seem to admit the mutual
understanding, truly they will never abandon the variety where
they find protection and security. Look for the Unity surpassing
the multiplicity and going beyond it. Follow the Path of Grace
Light and go directly to Meet who is the Unique One (the Lord of
Grace Light). Pluck up the courage to make it “alone and
naked”, without hide behind anything or anybody, because He
waits for you. Meet and Love who is the Unique One, and by who is
the Unique One You will Meet and Love all the creatures, not in
the multiplicity that separates ones from others, but in what
equalize all the beings: the Divine Spark that was the Origin of
their existences, which is a part of the Grace Light.
Be
nothing apart from strictly vegetarian. For every mouthful of meat
the humanity loads on their backs the pain of million animals that
are unnecessarily sacrificed every day. Death calls to death, and
if you want to be liberated from it you cannot continue being
involved in the killing of so many innocent beings. Only the Grace
Light will reside there where the Life may be respected and loved
over all. Direct your compassionate look to every being. Share the
fruit of your Surrender with all the beings just from the
beginning of the Path of Grace Light. The highest manifestation of
Compassion is to make them participants, from Heart to Heart, of
the Love and Bliss arised from the Grace Light. Those who endure
famine and thirst, who suffer because of illness, who are
humiliated and harassed,... they deserve that, as far as possible,
you act to relieve their suffering, but it’s quite more
necessary that also the Grace Light comes to those who are living
in the darkness of ignorance (even believing themselves to be
wise), transforming their lives. Only will be able to reach the
Culmination of the Path of Grace Light the one who intensely
wishes the Achievement of the Total Union with the Divine Lord, in
body and soul, not for oneself but so that the Grace Light may be
manifested through one’s own being to illuminate all the
beings, prevailing over the Earth face.
Don’t
wait for death, don’t yield to the illness, don’t
accept the pain. Your body isn’t an impediment but it’s
destined to become a Sacred Temple where the Lord of Grace Light
may be constantly Present. Don’t believe in those who assure
that the highest spiritual aims cannot be reached here. Trust
fully in Me and believes that the destiny of human being isn’t
the death but the Life. Aspire to realize the Total Union
(physical and spiritual) with the Divine Lord. This is the Aim
where the Path of Grace Light will lead every follower capable of
surrendering fully to It. Know this Path, which has been opened
not based on human beings’ expectations in the past but in
order to their current and future expectations. Come, take my Hand
and follow Me”.
