A True Spiritual Master
by World Renowned Yogi, Mystic and Universal Kabbalah Master,
Joseph Michael Levry
Reading this work with an open heart will bring light to your
mind, peace to your heart and strength to your spirit. Before I
begin, I need to acknowledge the Rose Croix Kabbalah Initiates and
Masters who guided me at an early age and imparted this once
secret and vast Divine Spiritual Science to me; for from Divine
Spiritual Wisdom emanates all wisdom, all knowledge and all
guidance. I am extremely grateful to the late Master of White
Tantric and Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan, the Siri Singh Sahib, who
lovingly supported me throughout the many years, and encouraged me
to merge the holy Kabbalah with Kundalini Yoga. For it is he who
said, “It took me (Yogi Bhajan) 40 years to learn this science and
it took you (Joseph Michael Levry) to write it down. This work
shall live forever.” I am also deeply grateful to Maharaj Ji for
giving me the Naam while I was in India. Babaji is a holy person
of biblical proportions whose powerful spirituality was first
recognized when he was a child. It was Baba Siri Chand Ji, the
great sixteenth-century yogi, mystic and elder son of Guru Nanak
Dev Ji, the first Sikh Guru, who appeared to him and instructed
him. Not long thereafter, Baba Siri Chand Ji returned with his
father Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak gave him the Naam. As a boy,
Babaji began healing intractable diseases, bringing the dead back
to life and transforming people's lives. Villagers soon recognized
that great spiritual powers were developing within him. Maharaj Ji
is a true symbol of holiness, humility and service.
 One
of the highest blessings that you can receive from God while
living on earth is meeting a True Spiritual Master. It is like
finding your second mother, for a Master is the One through whom
you will be born into the higher world. A True Spiritual Master is
the Word Made Flesh. Finding one is a precious treasure, for a
Master is the incarnation of the Word, or Naam. A True Master will
teach you the exact divine science, the exact spiritual
technology, the exact celestial knowledge which will allow you to
connect with and experience the highest, purest wisdom in this
universe. He will transmit to you the nourishing fire that gives
the strength to act upon everything in nature. He will give you
the golden key that opens the gate of mystery. By working with a
True Master, a person can experience direct connection with the
Spirit of God, and the unseen realm, so that one may receive
unimaginable celestial treasures and the spiritual knowledge of
all natural things.
The True Master will show you how to work with the forces of
nature, planetary powers and zodiacal stars to heal yourself and
serve others. He will reveal to you the secret of the inner
Kabbalah along with the highest form of yoga. By working with a
True Master, a person can receive the graceful method of awakening
Cosmic Consciousness, so that he/she experiences an unusual joy
which no one can take away from him/her. Working under a True
Master is the beginning of the manifestation of the human soul. He
will cause your soul to rise and display its timeless beauty. A
True Master will open your heart so that Divine warmth can flow
into it, and you may experience Divine joy and gladness. He will
help you see the light of your soul, which will cast its beam far
and wide, enabling you to see the indescribable wonder of God,
nature and Man. God gives the Master, and the Master gives you God
through the science of Naam. In this life there are two great
gifts: the first is prana, the breath of life, and the second is a
spiritual teacher or Master. Both gifts are given by the Grace of
God. A True Master, then, is the pure vehicle through which the
soul can connect with God.
A True Master will be known by his vast and magnetic aura that
looks like the sun, and by his simple, direct and down-to-earth
way. His words touch the heart because they emanate from one who
serves thousands of lives as the conduit of the Divine energy. He
is the Word Made Flesh, and the heavenly force is transmitted
through his very presence. The aura and blessings of a True
Spiritual Master can bring the entire psyche and being of those in
his presence into balance. In the play of human existence, the
True Spiritual Master is a different sort of being. His life is
only sacrifice and, therefore, it contains more problems to
resolve than that of the ordinary soul. His life is never his own,
as he sacrifices his personal comforts in order to serve and
transmute the karma of all with whom he comes into contact. The
more the Master yields to his Divine function, however, the more
powers become available. While he is the sacrificial embodiment of
Divine Consciousness, the Master is still subject to some of the
limitations of human existence. During his lifetime, he is
transfigured and awakened to his Divine purpose. The life of a
Master is one of constant service and communication of the Divine
Spiritual Wisdom that is passed down through the ages.
A True Spiritual Master understands the pains of the world, as
well as how to access the channels of cosmic energy in order to
mitigate those pains. The majority of people are held captive by
their destructive patterns caused by the seven negative karmic
influences. It is only through Naam, and the help and guidance of
a True Spiritual Master, that these persons can be assisted in
overcoming their bad habits. A True Spiritual Master will teach
you that nothing occurs by chance, and nothing is based on
probability. Everything on your life's journey is directly related
to your focus on self-improvement and your spiritual practice.
Some of the hardships you experience are the obstacles you have
created through the karma that you’ve accrued. Yet, karma can
become a blessing. No matter how tumultuous of a time you have
been through, or how much longer is required, you can't be
attached to time. In general, eliminating all karma for a student
is not permitted, and while a Master can help, every student must
repay their karma. After the karmic arrangements are made prior to
re-entering the realm of the earth, nothing other than Naam, along
with the guidance of a True Spiritual Master, can change your
karmic debt. To do otherwise would be to violate Heaven's Laws.
If you do Naam to merge with God, your illness will be healed. If
you do Naam for the purpose of healing your illness, then the
illness will not be healed. It is only by merging with God, which
is Naam, that the goal will be achieved. Human bodies are meant to
repay karma, and some karma manifests as illness. Therefore,
practice Naam, receive Harmonyum Healing and give up your
attachment to healing your illnesses. As a matter of fact, the
Harmonyum Healing System will help you give up your attachments so
that you may create the platform for self-healing. Interestingly,
when you do Naam Yoga, you are spared collective karma, though you
still have to deal with your individual karma. When a person is
going through cycles of reincarnation in the human realm, he is
reincarnating in the midst of hardship no matter how great his
life is, and no matter how blessed. For Naam Yogis, everything you
owed in the past will be repaid and settled through the bestowal
of blessings upon you through Naam. Also, the tribulations that
you experience while going through your spiritual practice are
meant to pay for the karmic debts that you owe. Even though the
increased hardship might render you unable to practice, you should
still endeavor to keep up with your work.
When a Naam Yogi is about to run into trouble, the energy force of
the Naam will dissolve the obstacles in his/her path. Naam can
also give you signs and warnings of events to come. When you are
dedicated to the sacred wisdom passed on to you by a Master who
truly works with the unseen world, some angels may appear in your
dreams or before your eyes to share things with you. If your level
of spiritual evolution is not high enough, they will not let you
see them, but they can let you know through signs. There are times
when these luminous beings will let you see them in your sleep,
often when you are in a dream state. Certain people can see
luminous beings consistently in their dreams. If your ability to
concentrate is very good, you may also see these helpful beings
during meditation. However, if you desire to see them only for the
pleasure of doing so, meaning that your desire to see them is
motivated by your ego, you will not be allowed to see them. As
long as you practice Divine Spiritual Wisdom for the purpose of
merging with God, you will surely be able to see these luminous
beings in the future.
Healing an average person takes his/her whole life and entails
balancing his/her karmic relationships simultaneously in various
dimensions. All those debts must be resolved benevolently in order
for the ailments of this lifetime to be resolved. Some people
accumulate a lot of karma. People leave this life with both the
white light they have gained through doing service and good deeds,
along with the black light of the negative karma they have
collected. Normally, the elimination of karma cannot be done
unconditionally, nor can it all be eliminated for you. It is said
in the sacred teachings that you cannot succeed in seeing the
unseen in one lifetime, and that only after a few reincarnations
can you succeed in accomplishing this task. Basically, you are
unable to eliminate that much karma all at once. Your capacity to
see the unseen is proportional to how much karma you resolve.
A True Spiritual Master understands that each student must venture
into the positive and negative side of things in order to wash out
their karmic garbage and cleanse their psyches of that which has
been holding them down for many lifetimes. It takes time, energy
and patience on the part of a True Master to polish the rough
edges of each student so that he/she is able to effectively
communicate the teachings. You can pack a donkey with many holy
books, but it will never be a priest. Therefore, it takes a
tremendous amount of willingness on the part of the student;
willingness to do the hard work necessary for authentic
transformation. Initially, when the Master begins to polish the
stone, the stone cries out, “Why does he chisel me?” But, after a
time, as the stone becomes precious, it recognizes how necessary
the chisel was, how vital it was to polish. As a result, you leave
your old life and enter into the new one with a new understanding.
When working with a True Master, he will both help you, and get on
your case. This will make you strong enough to handle the pressure
that comes with being out in the world on your own. It is a great
privilege when the Master is harsh on you, because Gold is known
by the fire it goes through. Remember, all Masters were once
students who were also taken through the fire by their Masters.
All must pass through the same door in order to become strong. It
cannot be otherwise. The most difficult thing to do is win the
heart of a True Master. When you do so, you are winning the heart
of the Cosmic Mother. Thousands of people come before the True
Spiritual Master. Through a screening process, he chooses to work
with those who are truly devotional. And, among the devotional, he
screens again to find the most devotional one. In essence, the
student is the baby to the Master. As such, the student is secure
when he/she is holding onto the mother with all his/her might. The
relationship that develops between the Master and the student is a
healing, Divine bond. Nobody can break it. Through this
relationship, the Master helps the student reach his/her highest
destiny and find the real Master within. Indeed, the real Master,
the God of your heart, is always living in you, in your heart.
This is the One Truth.
