Rare Druze Gnosis About Not Putting Limits on God

“To seek God without knowing ‘El-Hdoud’ (The Sacred Limits) means falling into the net of he who refused to bow down before the Wisdom of God’s Appearance in the Adamic Limits, and hence, proposed to set his own limits of what God is. This is what otherwise known as the most original form of evil that is deeply embedded in the Soul’s method of seeing Reality.”

— Druze Wisdom, from an old Druze website that talks about the gnostic scriptures: https://web.archive.org/web/20071006031123/http://www.druzenet.org/dnenglish.html

Commentary

I believe what this is saying is: do not have a limited approach to God and perceiving Reality. Do not limit God by bringing God down to our level of existence. God, by definition, is Limitless, Formless, Infinite, and Timeless. Therefore, to approach the Supreme Being, not with open-mindedness, awe, wonder, curiosity, and flexibility about experiencing Reality in whole new ways quite differently from the familiar earthly existence with the five senses, we just end up filtering these Divine Unknowns through our limited temporal bias and do not benefit. Conventional religions have it backwards for the most part. Rather than building minuscule temples of wood and stone for the Supreme Being to squeeze into in an attempt to bring heaven to earth, it is we that need to go There. The soul must ascend and go to the Divine Level, to transcend temporal existence via another kind of consciousness. As Meister Eckhart once said, “If the soul is to see God, then it must see no temporal thing, for as long as the soul is conscious of time or space, or of an idea, it cannot know God.” So yes: stillness; so yes: rising above body-consciousness, rising above thoughts and ideas, beliefs, theologies, earthly understandings. So yes: meditation. — James

Kirpal Singh — Dear Children of Light

Be good and do good. These five words contain in them the essence of all religions of the world. My work shall be amply repaid if you live up to them.

If we could only still our intellect and remain embedded with love and trust in him, then we could reach our true Home without any exertion on our part.

God is love. When our soul comes in contact with his overflowing love, we are saturated with his love through and through, which washes away all dirt of sins of the past and merges us in oneness with the Father.

Peep and continue peeping within your self with overflowing love to see and contact the Master Power residing in you, who will then manifest to you and guide you step by step on to the path of Truth that your love will open for you.

Stand on your belief on solid ground. Let not others’ wayward opinions deflect you from the true path you are on. Let not promises of glory by anyone waylay you. Do not come to hurried conclusions, but use discrimination in all your undertakings. Stick to what is Real. With an ethical and loving background your spiritual success is definitely assured. My love and best wishes are always with you in all your noble efforts and holy journey to your Home.

You have been put on the way to God that is the most natural and easiest of all. Do not be led away from the path. Transcend the body to have a flight in the higher regions to know thyself and see that you are a drop of the great ocean of consciousness. Radiate love to all creation. The grace of the Master Power is working over your head bountifully. Let us breathe out through every pore of our body: “Love and peace be unto all the world over.”

You are protected by the Master Power working overhead. Depend on him. You will have all the necessary inner help. The Master Power is waiting for his dear children to come to him within.

With all love to each one of you,

Kirpal Singh
