"Vedic dharma has its temples, Christianity its churches,
and Islam its mosques. But the real temple is the heart.
God is attained within: the path to God lies within one s
own self, as all the saints have taught this with
unanimity. The inner path begins in Sushumana, ajana
chakra (the tenth gate between two eyebrows)."
Our Path Back to the Source -- The Inward Journey Back to
God -- The Essence of Dharma
"Sant Mat (the path and teachings as taught and practiced
by saints) delineates the path of union of soul with the
Divine. The teachings of the saints explain the re-
uniting as follows:
"The individual soul has descended from the higher worlds
[the Realm of the Divine] to this city of illusion,
bodily existence. It has descended from the Soundless
State to the essence of Sound, from that Sound to Light,
and finally from the realm of Light to the realm of
Darkness. The qualities (dharmas, natural tendencies) of
the sense organs draw us downward and away from our true
nature.
"The nature of the soul (atman) draws us upwards and
inwards and establishes us in our own true nature.
Returning to our origins involves turning inward:
withdrawal of consciousness from the senses and the sense
objects in order to go upward from the darkness to the
realms of Light and Sound. [We experience this phenomenon
of withdrawal as we pass from waking consciousness to
deep sleep.] Another way to express this is to go inward
from the external sense organs to the depth of the inner
self. (Both of these expressions are the metaphors that
signify the same movement). The natural tendencies of the
soul (atman) are to move from outward to inward. The
current of consciousness which is dispersed in the nine
gates of the body and the senses, must be collected at
the tenth gate.
"The tenth gate is the gathering point of consciousness.
Therein lies the path for our return. The tenth gate is
also known as the sixth chakra, the third eye, bindu, the
center located between the two eyebrows. This is the
gateway through which we leave the gates of the sense
organs and enter in the divine realms and finally become
established in the soul. We travel back from the Realm of
Darkness to the Realm of Light, from the Light to the
Divine Sound, and from the Realm of Sound to the
Soundless State. This is called turning back to the
Source.
"This is what dharma or religion really intends to teach
us. This is the essence of dharma."
