89. AGAM PURUSHA

THE FIRST FOCUS OF THE PRIME CURRENT

            131. The first focus, formed by the issue of the original supreme spirit-current from the supreme source, became the first presiding deity of the sphere below the infinite sphere of the Supreme Being, Radhasoami. This presiding deity is known as the Agam Purusha and represents the vast spirituality which had been assimilated in the supreme source during the creational process and enhanced considerably by the union it had with the Supreme Being, and has been maintained every since at that enhanced kinetic spiritual level, in consequence of the connection established with the prime current. The main reason for the issue of the prime current, besides, that of its spiritualizing effect, was that the Supreme Being could not, in view of the essential nature of His own eternal condition, assimilate permanently within Himself any portion of that spirituality to which He had assigned a stratum lower than His supreme source during the eternal polarization preceding the creation. On the contrary, He returned that spirituality highly charged with His essence when the proper time arrived for such a course, the immensely gracious object being that the nether pole itself, along with the innumerable spirit-entities in it, should be brought to a state of conscious, blissful existence, its potentiality being replaced by kinetic life.

            132. The supreme refulgence, which accompanied the issue of the prime current, studded, in sheets as it were, the surrounding regions with orbs, technically known as suns and moons, the prevailing energy in the former being that of the sound-force and that in the latter being that of the spirit-force. By means of these orbs, spirituality of the supreme source was supplied to the region referred to. The suns and stars and other orbs, found in that part of the creation in which we live, diffuse energy in a similar manner. The spiritual orbs mentioned above also provided abode to the spirits or denizens of that region. It is hardly necessary to mention that these orbs were intelligent and conscious like the other parts of the purely spiritual creation. The region we have been speaking of is the one surrounding that portion of the supreme source from which the prime current emanate. The sphere evolved by Agam Purusha is situated below this region, which might accordingly be mentioned as the august portal of the Supreme Being Radhasoami.
