CHAPTER
1: JUPITER -
EXPANSION LEARNING TO OBEY THE LAW We have
known in Saturn how it is and how it
is becoming, and that when we are
in the becoming process we get into limitations. Once we are in the Saturnian
training, we are able to see our own limitations. We can try to overcome them,
work them out to see that we come out of our own limitations. First we
recognise our limitations, then we accept them and then we try to rectify them.
First it is recognition. Recognition is easy. We all recognize that sometimes
we speak irresponsibly, but it is difficult to accept it totally. Rectification
is still more difficult. Thus, recognition, acceptance and rectification of
limitations, is the Saturnian work, the initial work in discipleship. Saturn is the planet for limitation, and Jupiter is the planet for
expansion. We speak of the Saturnian principle and the Jupiterian principle,
while the planets are only the bodies through which the principles are transmitted. When we
accept our limitations and try to rectify them, gradually the boundaries widen
and there is the expansion. When we accept the Saturnian aspect, automatically
the Jupiterian aspects also function. Expansion is possible only when we accept
our limitations and work to rectify. The moment we accept them, we try to work
with them and to overcome them. Overcoming is an aspect of Jupiter, because the
principle of Jupiter is expansion and permeation. We cannot
function with Jupiter, unless we start functioning with Saturn first. That is
why Master CW proposes Saturnian training, to start with. We all want many
pleasant things but we need to work with ourselves to gain the necessary
chemistry to deserve what we want. We have to clean up the house, before we
bring fresh things into it. We have to clean up the cooking vessels of last
night, before we can prepare the breakfast for the morning. We do not
wish to clean up that which is impure in us, but we wish many, many pure things
to come to its. Pure things can only come to us, when there is a process of
taking out the impure things. Hence, all spiritual training starts with the Saturnian
principle. Those who do not work with this principle cannot get into the next
step. They may have the glamour of getting into the next step, but they remain
just there. A man who is not systematic, has to first develop a system through
Saturnian working. We have
known in “Saturn” that Jupiter gives the law and Saturn administers it. Jupiter
is the legislator, Saturn is the policeman who enforces it. When we learn to
obey the law, then we are in greater tune with the Jupiterian principle. This
is the first and fundamental aspect we have to take into account. When we
study about planets, there are people who start reading the chart with Jupiter,
because Jupiter is a positive and beneficial planet. But a more beneficial
planet is Saturn. He does the unpleasant job and clears up things first. We
should make a stock-taking, before we get into the real spiritual practice. We
should see what is our stock. How much of the stock is useful and how much is
useless, and then rearrange it as per usefulness. At the point of rearrangement
it is Jupiter who works for us. But if we are not agreeable for this kind of
internal rearrangement, then Jupiter will not function, because Saturn will not
give the permission! Saturn
has to give us the clearance first. When we land in an airport, unless the
passport control is cleared, we will not be allowed to clear customs. First we
have to go through the passport control, then customs, and only then we are
allowed into the country. So also into the internal kingdom, and the one who
allows us to pass is Saturn. Then the
next step is Jupiter, the Hall of Learning. Learning does not mean reading
books. There are many who want to read books, who want to meet the Masters, who
want to gain more and more knowledge - that is not learning. Learning is
rearranging our own personality, rectifying our own self, our own behaviour,
our own personality. This is what is called the Hall of Learning. In the Hall
of Learning there is a lot to unlearn. After this learning is complete, we go
into the Hall of Wisdom. Thereafter, through wisdom we will get into the
Sanctum Sanctorum, the Hall of Experience. Daily we have to see, if there is something to learn: to learn in terms of re-framing or unlearning, or restructuring our behaviour. With that step we can simultaneously step into wisdom, and through wisdom, we will get the right experience. Knowledge, when applied becomes wisdom. We gain a lot of knowledge, but it has to be applied in daily life, then it transforms itself into wisdom. Through wisdom we will experience the existence. These are the three steps. These are the fundamentals we have to remember when we travel from Saturn to Jupiter. If you would like to buy books of the World Teacher Trust, please ask one of the addresses indicated.
