"Jupiter. The Path of Expansion"

by Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar

 

Jupiter causes rearrangement of the energy system when the related principles are followed. Such rearrangement would transform an iron piece into a magnet. The implements for expansion of man’s consciousness are in man himself. The implements are nothing but the de-arrangement of the energy. Jupiter gives the necessary adjustment and expansion. There is an intelligent way of working with Jupiter to gain rapid expansion of consciousness. The related hints are given in the book arising from the teachings of Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar.

Content: Jupiter – Expansion; Jupiter – The Ritualist; Jupiter – The Giver; Jupiter – The Judge; Jupiter – The Power of Sound; Jupiter – The Flow; Jupiter & Mercury or Impression & Expression; Jupiter & The Word; Jupiter – The Teacher, The Guru; The Cosmic Jupiter; The Symbolism of the Cosmic Jupiter Ganesha; The Mantram of Jupiter.

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.
