There is a material view of life that is much in vogue today. This is so because we have lost that other sight, entrenched in an exclusively material vision and understanding. But slowly mankind is recovering the lost sight and with it new horizons are opening up before us. One such perspective is looking at things and creation and mankind from an Energy perspective or Energy systems, so to say. We receive and throw out many kinds of energies which have an impact upon our life and surroundings. These energies do not vanish after they are released from our mouth as speech or acts and even thoughts and feelings. They hold their course, affect and influence all that is open to them, Eventually these ‘energies’ and their jostling effects come back full circle, multiplying and multiplied, back to haunt or enrich us as the case may be. This is the standard play of Nature in which we are bound.
But there is another play, a yet another form of Energy that descends from Above, from the very Source of all Energies and Forces and Powers and it comes to heal and succor, help and transform us. Some are instinctively open to this Source, others receive it from time to time. There are yet others to whom this Source is made available, so to say, for the special work that is given. The present talk is based on this Energy perspective of the human being.
