Good deeds in the world are revived in the Outward Path and devalued in the Inward Path
The gurus of the great
religions tell us that the human body was given to us for the purpose
of attaining God-realization, which is ironically accomplished by denying and blocking all the desires of the human body. But the gurus were referring to the
Involutionary Inward Path to the Father Within only and not to the
Evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood.
The gurus were not content
in this way merely to devalue the material body and the material
world, they defined the material world and all of creation as the
domain of Satan, the negative power. Put bluntly this means that when one defends creation and the material world one is being
Satanic. It certainly was a way to bring disciples to the gurus
by applying the fear method, and it also was a way to elevate the master
teachers of the God-realization over other actors in the fallen
world.
The existence of the human
body is primarily for the purpose of evolving to Godhood in the
Evolutionary Outward Path. The Inward Path is secondary and points
the way to the Outward Path. It is the Outward Path of material and
supermaterial evolution that leads to Godhood, the Inward Path is
meant to give us a hint, blissful at it is, of what Godhood is like
at the zenith of evolution.
In the Inward Path it is
the spiritual practice of seeking the Father Within and not good
deeds in the material world that bring us to God-realization. Doing
good deeds is seen only as a test of how one can be in the world but
not of the world. This is seen not only in the teachings of Jesus Christ
but taught in the Bhagavad Gita of the East. The Paths have been
transvalued in their emphasis and they need to be rebalanced. Good
deeds in the world are revived in the Outward Path and devalued in
the Inward Path.
