Some thoughts on Imran Khan, on likely being elected as Prime Minister of Pakistan

Since my very young age, when Imran Khan was playing as a fast bowler and then as Captain of Pakistan Cricket Team, I liked his fighting spirit and his ability to hold on till the end, against all odds, and never giving up, and at the same time taking the defeat, if it comes, in his stride and also taking a learning from that defeat.

It seems, he is more focused on his own sincere efforts, rather than on sitting and thinking too much about odds of the situation. At the same time, it seems, he is playful and enjoys himself and his life to the core, to the fullest. These two aspects makes him touch his deeper self, his Essence, or rather, the fact that somehow he being in touch with his inner depth more often makes him a playful person and gives him a kind of wide range of thinking, a kind of thinking in perspective, and also gives him an ability to follow his that inner vision as an undercurrent, in spite of all odds and criticism (in fact, he would not take criticism and his own failure too seriously!). So, as a human being he has a certain depth and has much potential.  

(Essence means one's deeper self, reflected in the depth of being and playfulness, both together. However, one’s deepest self, the Atman is different and is much deeper than one’s Essence).

The Time has flowered many powerful or successful and some great people in the history of humanity. If we closely observe their lives, we can see that all persons who have attained a height, beyond a certain limit, in any walk of life, has its roots in the depth of their core-being and it is likely that they have operated from there, at least in the initial phase till they attained that height. But, to sustain the touch with that inner depth, with the nobility and humility after achieving that height of success, and not succumbing to, or not developing, self-centered mean ego throughout is the real test. This test separates a great person from a mere successful (or powerful) person. And this test is a life-long test! So, let us see, what the Time has in store.

Some thoughts on the teaching of J Krishnamurti

Looking to the life of J. Krishnamurti, looking to what he was able to let go (he denied the 'Jagad-Guru-ship' which Theosophical Society was all set to bestow upon him, and choose to remain an ordinary person), looking to the honesty in his teaching, looking to the depth of his teaching, it feels that his being was of very high level, at least beyond the level of man number 5.

(Man number 5 means a person who has attaining the control over the third State of Consciousness and has Inner Unity and is fully objective towards oneself, and has connection with the Higher Emotional Center, the seat of self-less conscious love.)

However, when I happened to discuss with a person who use to read J. Krishnamurti and try to honestly follow his teaching, that person told me, "It's a wonderful feeling when I listen to J. Krishnamurti or when I read his writings, but when I try to live his teaching in ordinary day-to-day life, I am not able to apply it, it somehow eludes me, for example, in the moment of inner conflict, I am not able to understand what it exactly means and how to practically apply his teaching of "observed and observer is one", and it do not end my inner conflict, rather, on the contrary, my inability to practically apply it makes that inner conflict even more dense!" Similar is the experience of many other persons whom I personally know and who try to honestly follow the teaching of J. Krishnamurti.

Then, the question is, why it is so, what is the exact issue?

On the basis of my own reading of his teaching earlier, I personally feel that the real issue is, the beginning point of his teaching itself is of very high order, he seems to assume that listeners are able to see inside of them impartially and fully, in other words, it practically means that listeners are in the sustained third state of consciousness and can transform and melt their inner conflict into "Real I". However, it takes a very high level of being, and it needs efforts for a long time to attain this level of being, but, surprisingly it seems that somehow J. Krishnamurti assumed (impliedly) that listeners are already at that level, or, in other words, that level is the natural state for a human being, which is not the case in fact.

Though, while listening to or reading such teachings it may give good and exalted feeling, but, without the sense of scale and relativity, without the understanding of difference in various levels of being, and without knowing and applying the exact tool needed at each level, it is not possible to ascend on the ladder of evolution. From this point of view, the understanding of the principle of Scale & Relativity is the most fundamental, significant and scientific contributions of the Fourth Way (Gurdjieff system) in the spiritual arena.

J. Krishnamurti's teaching is a teaching for ‘transformation’ and can become practically useful for a person who has attained such level of being where one is able to understand the significance of the third state of consciousness and is able to sustain it, and has the objective knowledge of various levels of being and has the understanding of the needs of various levels of being.

The 'Work' from the point of view of Laws of various Worlds

What does 96 laws, 48 laws, 24 laws etc. practically means in connection with human psyche, how to verify it?

It is a given fact that at World1 there is only one law, that is, will of the absolute. At World3 there are 3 laws. At World6 there are 6 laws (3 of its own + 3 of World3 = 6). At World12 there are 12 laws (3 of its own + 6 of World6 + 3 of World3 = 12). At World24 there are 24 laws (3 of its own + 12 of World12 + 6 of World6 + 3 of World3 = 24). At World48 there are 48 laws (3 of its own + 24 of World24 + 12 of World12 + 6 of World6 + 3 of World3 = 48). At World96 there are 96 laws (3 of its own + 48 of World48 + 24 of World24 + 12 of World12 + 6 of World6 + 3 of World3 = 96).

To understand in simple terms the difference among the laws of various orders (levels) we have to proceed from top to bottom. At World3 level there are three laws, three laws means three forces, of the highest order, of the highest vibration & purity, forming trinity (law of three) of the highest order, which occupies the entire space of the World3. From psychological point of view, this law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Tao/Tathata’ and from Physics point of view this law manifests as ‘Particle Binding Mechanism’.

At World6 level three laws, three forces of its own order (of the 2^nd order, less pure than that of Word3) enter and forms 2^nd level of trinity, 2^nd level of law of three - from psychological point of view, this new law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Conscious Wish’ and from Physics point of view this new law of three manifests as ‘Nucleus Binding Mechanism’.  So at World6 level there came into existence 2 orders of law of three. Out of the total space of the World6, usually 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World6 (its own) and 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World3.

At World12 level three laws, three forces of its own order (of the 3^rd order, less pure than that of Word6) enter and forms 3^rd level of trinity, 3^rd level of law of three - from psychological point of view, this new law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Will’ and from Physics point of view this new law of three manifests as the ‘Electron Binding Mechanism’. So at World12 level, there came into existence 3 orders of law of three. Out of the total space of World12, usually 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World12 (its own), 25% space is occupied by the law of three of World6 and 25% space is occupied by the law of three of World3.

At World24 level three laws, three forces of its own order (of the 4^th order, less pure than that of Word12) enter and forms 4^th level of trinity, 4^th level of law of three - from psychological point of view, this new law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Fate/Type’ and from Physics point of view this new law of three manifest as the ‘Chemical Bonding Mechanism’. So at World24 level, there came into existence 4 orders of law of three. Out of the total space of World24, usually 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World24, 25% space is occupied by the law of three of World12, 12.5% space is occupied by the law of three of World6 and 12.5% space is occupied by the law of three of World3.

At World48 level three laws, three forces of its own order (of the 5^th order, less pure than that of Word24) enter and forms 5^th level of trinity, 5^th level of law of three - from psychological point of view, this new law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Cause & Effect’ or may be called as the ‘Law of Karma’. So at World48 level, there came into existence 5 orders of law of three. Out of the total space of World48, usually 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World48, 25% space is occupied by the law of three of World24, 12.5% space is occupied by the law of three of World12, 6.25% space is occupied by the law of three of World6 and 6.25% space is occupied by the law of three of World3.

At World96 level three laws, three forces of its own order (of the 6^th order, of the lowest purity) enter and forms 6^th level of trinity, 6^th level of law of three - from psychological point of view, this new law of three manifests as the ‘Law of Accident’. So at World96 level, there came into existence 6 orders of law of three. Out of the total space of World96, usually 50% space is occupied by the law of three of World96 (its own), 25% space is occupied by the law of three of World48, 12.5% space is occupied by the law of three of World24, 6.25% space is occupied by the law of three of World12, 3.12% space is occupied by the law of three of World6 and 3.12% space is occupied by the law of three of World3.

Summary
World	Astronomical Level	Psychological Level	Its own law - Physics	Its own law - Psychological
World1	The Absolute	Brahmi State
World3	Universe	Atman State (Buddhatva)	Particle Binding Mechanism	Law of Tao
World6	Galaxy	4th State -Objective Consciousness	Nucleus Binding Mechanism	Law of Conscious Wish
World12	Solar System	3rd State – Self-Consciousness	Electron Binding Mechanism	Law of Will
World24	Planetary Sphere	State of Essence	Chemical Bonding Mechanism’	Law of Fate/Type
World48	Organic Life	State of Good Householder		Law of Cause & Effect
World96	Moon	State of False Personality		Law of Accident

From this we can see that as one goes down the ladder of Worlds, less and less space is occupied by law of three of higher Worlds and more and more space is occupied by law of three of lower Worlds. However, human organism contains the energies of all Worlds in above stated usual proportions. And it is a rule that energy of whichever World is active in the organism, in that moment it attracts and absorbs the energy of that level. For example, when the energy of World12 (manifesting as the ‘Law of Will’), the energy of consciousness, is made intentionally active in one’s organism by efforts of non-identifying and by efforts of self-remembering, it attracts and absorbs the energy of the same level and the proportion of the energy of that level will increases in the organism. Here lies the key of increasing the energy of higher Worlds in one’s organism and moving up on the ladder of evolution.

So, from the point of view of practical work for liberating oneself from the lower laws, one has to think in terms of understanding the quality of inner three forces (Sattv, Rajas and Tamas) manifesting at one’s current level and the quality of inner three forces (Sattv, Rajas and Tamas) that can manifest at the next higher level, and try to move up towards the next higher level. For example, at World96 level, at False Personality level, the operative Law of Three is the Law of Accident – its three forces (Sattv, Rajas and Tamas) from psychological point of view are manifesting as (1) lack of discipline - the Neutralizing Force (2) Craving - the Active Force, and (3) Utter mechanicalness of one’s Chief-Feature - the passive force.

When one understands this and try to put oneself under the work-discipline and also try to reduce too much of identification with his craving and makes it as reasonable desire, it means, in that moment, he has moved up and has come under the Law of Three of the next higher level, which is the Law of Cause & Effect, the  three forces (Sattv, Rajas and Tamas) of which  manifest as (1) Directed attention &   intentionality - the Neutralizing Force (2) Desire - the Active Force, and (3) Usual mechanicalness - the passive force. If one does this, in that moment, one is free from the entire set of laws and limitations arising out of the Law of Accident, in connection with the psychological matters. And so on for the next higher levels.

(The characteristics of inner three forces, that is, of Sattv, Rajas and Tamas have been described in the 14^th Chapter of the Bhagwad Geeta and also in Hindu Sankhya Darshan)

So, one need not bother too much about counting these 96 or 48 laws, one just need to focus on these 6 chief laws and try to observe and verify their workings within oneself, and try to look for the possibility of moving up.
