If we look around us, we will find everyone asking the Divine all the time for something. Why should the Divine choose someone for a preferential treatment in this vast ocean of beggars? Only those who work selflessly and help others are the ones the Divine notices and elevates, bestowing on them powers that will help them in their crusade to help others. Thus, such an individual, by the grace of the Divine and his guru, evolves and the process does not stop here.
As one grows in hierarchy and becomes responsible for a much larger number of people, the punishments associated with lack of responsibility or negligence also become more severe. For example, if in a shirt manufacturing factory, the shop floor worker commits a mistake, s/he will at best spoil one shirt, but the shop floor manager’s mistake can spoil an entire batch, a general manager’s mistake will spoil the day’s production while the managing director’s mistake may lead to the factory being shut down rendering hundreds of workers jobless. Thus the severity of punishment increases from the shop floor worker to the managing director.
Similarly, in the world of spirituality, with the powers that are given to evolved beings, their responsibility becomes greater and mistakes are strongly punished. One step of misuse of power will affect so many people around, thereby upsetting the balance of creation, something which the Divine will never allow.
Evolution is a constant process and it is after many lives that one is given the opportunity to evolve, that is why one cannot afford to make mistakes.
When we sit for dhyan, we have various experiences and visions. There are pleasant visions of godly beings and there are unpleasant visions of animals or creatures. These are nothing but our interactions with the beings of the dimensions that we would have travelled to during dhyan or, in other words, a state of heightened consciousness where our higher senses have become temporarily active.
Everything in creation is made up of layers, be it the earth and its layers of crust, mantle, inner and outer core, or the atmosphere with its layers of troposphere, stratosphere, ionosphere et cetera, or a fruit, a tree, or a living being. These layers are subtler at the outer peripheries and grosser at the core. This phenomenon is common to everything in creation. What lies after the subtlest layer or what is inside the grossest layer is a subject for people with the right physical abilities or a developed sixth sense gained through the practice of Sanatan Kriya. So to delve into the dimensions which are beyond the scope of the five senses it is imperative to develop the higher senses.
