Creating the Golden Age, Why Wait for the World to Catch Up?

Creating the Golden Age, Why Wait for the World to Catch Up?

There have always been a few enlightened enclaves in the world, here and there over the centuries, a few ashrams of Pythagoreans, Essenes, Gnostics, and Sants living ahead of their time. I like the idea of personally stepping into the Sat Yuga or Golden Age as an individual choice. Rather than waiting for the world to catch up -- a mighty long wait indeed, we can live more and more from our spiritual Ideals, of meditation, vegan or vegetarian diet, spiritual community, enlightened activities, rising up to a higher octave, here and now. Calendars will be always be calendars, but we can create the Golden Age today for ourselves, can step into Sat Yuga in this present moment. -- James

Sant Kirpal Singh: "You have just heard how yoga is working in present times, and how in the midst of this darkness there is hope for light. The golden or higher age of Sat Yug will be born from Kali Yug - it will not fall from Heaven all at once. The change has started: those who have eyes may see, those who have ears may hear. It is always darker before the dawn, but the more darkness there is, so the more light there is before us. The awakening is already there, and twinklings of light can be observed. Again I would say, those with eyes may see, those with ears may hear." (The Perfection of Man, English portion of a Satsang at Sawan Ashram, August 29, 1971)
