PART 3
Babaji’s Messages in the twenty-first century
Each time has its own characteristics. Our time marks not only the
change of centuries, but above all the change of epochs, also called the Great
Transition. The New Era also provides new Divine opportunities – to change your
consciousness in order to follow the evolutionary path together with planet
Earth.
Since the majority of humanity is not ready for the new stage envisaged
by evolution, the Great Teachers do Тheir best to help as many souls as possible to awaken.
But whereas in earlier times the Teachers were able to help directly by
incarnating among the earth's humanity as wise rulers, priests, founders of religions,
and other prominent figures, now the vibrations of the modern world have become
too low for the presence of Great Teachers. Therefore, Тhey can either use partial incarnations, or briefly be present in those
incarnated people who have reached a high level in their consciousness.
In the XXI century, the choice of the Great Teachers, or Masters of
Wisdom fell on a Russian woman, her name is Tatyana Mickushina, who passed difficult
tests and examinations, proving her dedication and willingness to work with the
Teachers for the benefit of humanity. The
Masters worked for a long time with the subtle bodies of Tatyana Mickushina, before she became a pure conductor, able to conduct the
energies of the Masters to the Earth. The Teachers gave her the mantle of the
Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood and began to transmit Their Messages.
More than 50 Beings of Light took part in this grand Mission, transmitting a
new Teaching through Their Messenger from 2005 to 2015. The Teaching can be
called new under certain
conditions, since it is from ancient times. However, the ancient Truths were given in a new
form, accessible to most members of the human community at this stage.
“If you understand this Teaching, digest it, apply it in your
life, then consciousness will change and provide a person a pass to a New
World.”
One of the Masters of Wisdom working with the Messenger Tatyana
Mickushina is Babaji. He comes to give us an impulse,
to speed things up, to encourage, and also to remind us of the truths that He
taught in the past while He was on Earth in a physical body.
Babaji says:
“…When I was in embodiment, I exerted all my efforts to ensure that the
people who came to see me from all over the world lost their interests in
external manifestations and strove to reach the eternal world with their entire
being."[6].
As before, Babaji again calls us to allow guidance from Higher Wisdom and to follow the Higher Path, which is
also called the Path of Initiations.
As before, Babaji draws our attention to
Karma Yoga and, building on the previous postulates,
gives the Teaching about work and the attitude towards money:
“I gave the Teaching about Karma Yoga. And I continue to assert from
my ascended state of consciousness that only Karma Yoga, the efforts of
constructive labor for Common Good that you direct correctly, can change and
reverse the situation that has formed in the world.
It is labor, correct labor, which can change everything.
While you work to
earn money, you move nowhere. What nonsense is it to attach your labor to some result on the physical
plane. Labor itself is of great value. And true labor is the highest good for
the development of a human soul.
<…>
It was silly to think that the Teaching could be obtained for money.
There is no true value that can be obtained for money. Love cannot be
obtained for money. Devotion cannot be obtained for money. Serving cannot be
obtained for money.”
As before, Babaji urges us to overcome the
stereotypes that cause religious contradictions in our minds:
“Your contradictions on religious grounds are made up and created by the people who are trying to go their
own way and who are ready to commit any
misdeed for this. Go along the Supreme Path! Always try to see some common
things that are present in different religions and different confessions, and
you will see that there are more common things than differences.
All of us represent
one family.”
Drawing on His rich experience from a long stay in the earthly body as
a Guru, Babaji raises questions about the reverence
for the Teaching and reverence for the Messenger as the representative of the
Brotherhood of the Great Teachers on Earth. He says that, as before, people show curiosity
when they get acquainted with the Teaching, only because of their thirst for a
miracle, but at the same time they despise the Messenger of the Masters.
“There are many who come to see the miracle, but there are very few
who are truly devoted to the business that the Masters are carrying out, and
there are even fewer people
who are devoted to
our Messenger.
The external
representative of the Hierarchy is a key figure in this process. And the way
people perceive our representative and the Teaching that she gives, either
opens the Divine opportunity for the development of humankind or closes it.
<…> …The criterion for your level of consciousness is your attitude toward
our Messenger. It is impossible to take the Teaching and disregard the source
of the Teaching…
The worship of the
Higher Source is a necessary condition.
…you are talking
with God. Therefore, you have to do this with awe, with great reverence in your
heart.”
By becoming acquainted with the Teaching and entering into a
relationship with the Messenger, people receive the energy and help from the Masters.
This energy starts displacing all imperfections, all
the negativity accumulated over many
incarnations, and therefore the difficulties in everyone's life increase. The
karma of many dozens of incarnations returns within a few years. This is the
path of accelerated development, or the Path of Initiations, which, as noted by
Babaji, has now become available to millions of people who want to
move on to a new opportunity that has opened up to the evolutions of planet
Earth.
In His last incarnation in India at the end of the last century, Babaji predicted the
imminent arrival of Maha Kranti-revolutionary
changes in the world. Maha Kranti
is not some bloody revolution, it is a revolutionary change in our
consciousness, it is a liberation from old habits and attachments.
“When I was incarnated, I kept saying that a revolution was coming. And all the deadlines established for the beginning
of the revolution have already elapsed. Therefore, get ready for the changes
that will be truly revolutionary! And these changes must take place within your
consciousness. And as soon as they happen in your consciousness, everything
around you will instantly start burning in the fire of revolution because
everything that is now running the show will be swept away — your entire
familiar ambience, everything you are used to, all your habits and attachments.
…It will
inevitably happen
<…>
That is why I do not
get tired of coming and I keep shouting in your ears, The
time has come!
The time has come to
make a revolution in your consciousness!”
Teacher Babaji is well aware that parting
with our shortcomings is a very painful process, but He reminds us that with
our karmic baggage and with our problems, only we ourselves can part with them,
no one will solve them for us.
Babaji advises:
“…constantly strive to keep your consciousness at the level
of high Divine vibrations. In this state, you become kinder, more tolerant.
Your whole being radiates love, cordiality, joy, and peace.
Only when you
are in this state of consciousness are you able to perceive the Divine Truth.”
To prove our faith and loyalty to the Masters, we do not need to jump
into the abyss, as a person who wanted to become a disciple of Mahavatar Babaji did. We just need to make daily efforts on our Path of
Initiations, to work like true Karma Yogis, considering any work as the highest
form of service to God.

note to the Message of Babaji, December 23, 2006:
"It was cloudy in the morning, it was snowing. At the moment when he came Babaji, a ray of the sun appeared from behind the clouds,
and the sun was present all the time while the dictation was going on, and then
it became overcast again, and it began to snow" (quoted from the Words of
Wisdom.)
