What is a Living Prophet ?

Feb 6 2013The Living Prophet is not someone, who in a religious or
political process/institution is elected to some patriarchal high office.
This only proves that he/she is loyally attached to the company line.
It is not someone who, by his own bold claims, charisma, or opportunism
has attracted a lot of attention and is in a living bodily form.
It is not the adored icon of millions of blind followers who have
succumbed to the hook, line, and sinker of a great orator.
Such followers/devotees have already been programmed to be fed
on the popular beliefs of a particular culture of system.
The true Living Prophet is a Great One who has reached Union with
God/ the Reality of our existence. And is thus qualified to show others
the way out of these cycles of reincarnation.
The true Living Prophet is one who through great effort and
divine grace has been able to destroy popular human blind
programming and mastered his consciousness and the natural world.
The true Living Prophet stands out as a man/woman of truth
and does not display ambitions of the ego to become a celebrity.
He - the Living Prophet - is a remarkable example of humanity's
future evolutionary prospects.
Because of His/Her mastery of the elements of this world, including
physical, psychological, and spiritual areas of life, the Living Master
can work equally well whether his/her body as we have come to
know it is dead or alive! Check your history. Many masters
such as Jesus the Christ, Paramahansa Yogananda, Krishna etc.
are still clearly working with their devotees in this world.
The rest of us, until we experience the evolutionary state of
Samadhi/Nirvana/Salvation, are as it is written - spiritually dead.
This is then also the stature of those whose ego seeks followers,
wealth or celebrity status without first achieving divine Self-Realization.
He one may want to ask - what about Guru Shishya/ Paramapara?
This long held belief of many past teachers is not invalid, but
an expanded understanding of the how and why helps us.
The Living Prophet, according to Scriptures and history does
not absolutely require a physical successor to carry out His
great works and blessings to the wise devotees.
He can work directly with us through attunement to his
teachings and living omnipresence.
This is certain ways, when one is advanced enough, take
care of the need of lineage succession.
