The Definitions (Alphabets O, P, R)

Introduction

The Definitions must be read, understood and used by everyone who wishes to read and or interact usefully with The Teachings. The Definitions are to be used while interacting with The Teachings to derive maximum value and benefit. The Definitions have been laid out in an alphabetic sequence.

Obedience

Obedience is the act of carrying out the instructions given by The Teacher or The Teachings or based on the authority of The Teachings which when carried out bring a benefit to the person carrying out the given instructions.

Obligation

Towards someone. Has to be performed. Something (Duty) which every body+mind in Janam has to accept and perform. Actions to be carried out to remain in compliance with The Teachings. An obligation is a Duty that cannot be avoided or ignored.

OMNMNKAAAR [See the Teaching on **Duties associated with The Name of GOD**]

The Name of GOD in the phonetic sounds of the letters used. To be pronounced phonetically. Separate procedures and instructions have been specified for correct usage.

Opacity

The change that occurs when a large number of thin film layers are deposited around the Atma. This process leads to loss of translucence and formation of the crust.

Opportunity [See the Teaching on Atma at The Court of The Chief Judge]

On the completion of the assigned number of Joonis to be traversed by an Atma post-accounting in the Court of The Chief Judge, the Atma arrives in front of GOD who gives the Atma a fresh opportunity to enter into Janam and work towards Salvation by carrying out the Task for that Janam.

PARAMATMA [See the Teaching on GOD]

The Supreme Power who created and sustains the Universe. HE is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. Also known and addressed as GOD or VIDHATA.

Parameters [See the Teaching on The Parameters of A Valid Request]

In order for any Request to be valid, certain parameters or conditions must be met. Validity parameters are specified elsewhere.

Part [See the Teaching on Understanding The TEN Shares]

Each Atma in Janam has to divide every bit of earning, acquisition and receipt into ten equal parts. There are TEN Right Holders for each individual in Janam. Each of these TEN Right Holders must be given one equal part in sequence to remain in compliance with The Teachings. Also known as Share or Tithe.

Passage [See the Teaching on Janam and Jooni]

The time allotted or given to an Atma in one Janam to work for Salvation.

Physical Universe

Visible and invisible portion of the matter created out of interaction between the two different forms of energies released during the Act of Creation. The physical universe was created to provide an environment where the children of GOD could enjoy themselves. The physical universe is and will continue to expand and function to enable each Soul as many opportunities as he or she may require to achieve Salvation up to The Day of Knowledge.

Pravachan [Listen to Sermon / Pravachan]

The oral Teaching that may be delivered by The Incarnation of The Teacher during or post a session in Satsang. No one other than The Incarnation of The Teacher may deliver a so-called Pravachan.

Precedence

The prescribed order of precedence and obedience required in the physical universe is:

1. The Teacher
2. The Teachings:

a. The DIVINE LAWS

b. The DIVINE Articles

c. The DIVINE Rules

d. The DIVINE Principles of Life

e. The Regulations

f. The Rules and Requirements

g. The Individual Partial Teachings on Interpretations, Explanations and Applications of The Teachings on valid questions as posed to The Teacher in the individual facts and circumstances of each such question.

Promise

PARAMATMA has given a Covenant amounting to a promise to each Soul.

Protect

To preserve and to enable the further use of a resource or facility existing in the physical universe.

Puberty

That age or stage of physical development of a young male or female when the Task devolves upon the body+mind.

When the Atma resident in a body+mind is incapable of conveying the Task to the given body+mind.

When the Soul in the given body+mind is isolated within the crust formed due to the sins carried out by the body+mind.

When the physical and mental wants, desires and greeds of the body+mind become the focus of that person.

Purgatory

That period of existence spent by the Atma transiting through the Joonis. Each moment spent by the Soul in each Jooni is spent in regret. Also known as Hell or Narak.

RADIANCE

Any person nominated to any role in governance will exit that role immediately on recall by his/her cohort before the end of his/her tenure.

Receive [See the Teaching on Earn, Acquire and Receive]

To gain by being given willingly. To accept willingly. To accept without any obligation. A receipt is a Gift. All that is obtained and accepted irrespective of the source. Whatever is earned and acquired does not form part of it. The act of giving must be voluntary. The receipt must be accepted willingly and without obligation. Source, location and timing of receipt is not relevant.

Religion

Religion is a set of dogmas along with imposed beliefs, rituals, and customs designed to control sections of society along pre-defined paths. Religion relies on miracles to awe and to force obedience without question through fear. Religion is a designed black-box, the internal functioning of which is neither controlled by nor known to the person following religion. Religion creates expectations which can neither be defined nor fulfilled. Expectations as we know are part of The TRY Business leading to failure. Religion denies the existence of The Right and distorts each of The DIVINE Teachings in significant ways to reverse the original intent of the LAWS and other elements of The DIVINE Teachings.
