Summary of discussion on Vijnana-bhairava-tantra made by Guru Yogi Matsyendranath and Rev. John Dupuche<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as the waves arise from the water, flames from fire and rays from the sun, so too from me, Bhairava, the aspects of the universe arise in their variety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the previous <\/span>\u015bloka<\/em> the meditation focused on the fact that the practitioner realizes he is Parame\u015bvara. This <\/span>\u015bloka<\/em> follows on naturally: all things arise from the Supreme Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question immediately arises about what is meant by \u2018the variety\u2019. Does this include evil? This question is acutely felt in the teaching of non-dualism. As long as the world can be divided into good and evil, in a Zoroastrian sense, the question is easily answered: No! But if all springs from Bhairava, then is evil due to him? How then pray to be free from evil; why fight against evil? Why be concerned with social justice? Why feel sorrow? The consequences are enormous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Islam teaches that everything happens by the will of Allah, but would not go so far as to say that Allah is the author of evil. Job says \u201cThe Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord,\u201d(Job 1:21) but goes no further.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Christian view of things, there is another answer, namely that evil is turned to good. God shows his omnipotence by turning evil into good. On the last day when all is resolved, it will be seen that what was evil \u2013 and indeed it was evil \u2013 is now turned to our advantage. The tables have been turned.\u00a0 Greater good has been drawn from evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, who are we to know what is good and what is evil? However, just because we do not know what is finally good and what is finally evil, we do not jettison the law of morality.\u00a0 There are paths down which we do not go, for they do not give rise to the flowering of consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only the one who has been through life and death is the Judge of all. Indeed, he wishes to know life and death so as to be the Lord of life and death. Non-dualism is not to be understood with limited consciousness. Only in the end is God all in all, God is God even in evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The title used in this verse is \u2018Bhairava\u2019 which is carefully chosen, for if the name \u2018\u015aiva\u2019 refers to auspicious form of the ultimate reality, \u2018Bhairava\u2019 refers to the awesome aspect, the terrible, redoubtable form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
