The Silence ....

Now, in the early morning Jesus came again to teach and heal. A light not comprehended shown about, as though some mighty spirit overshadowed him. A magus noted this and asked him privately to tell from whence his wisdom came, and what the meaning of the light. And Jesus said, There is a Silence where the soul may meet its God, and there the fount of wisdom is, and all who enter are immersed in light, and filled with wisdom, love and power.” (Aquarian Gospel 40:1-3)
The phenomenon of light shining around or from the body of a spiritually advanced person is not common, but neither is it particularly rare. and in The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta Swami Prabhavananda gives an impressive account of seeing Swami Premananda, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, shining with light during a visit to the Vishwanath Temple in Benares (Varanasi).
It is not really the light that matters, but the state of consciousness–the inner illumination–which it indicates. So the magian asked Jesus where he got his wisdom, no doubt assuming that he would give a teacher or scripture as its source. Instead, Jesus told him that there is an inner state in which the Divine Source is tapped, from which all light, wisdom, love, and power flow. There is no way to know, but it might be wondered whether in enumerating these four things Jesus was thinking of karma, jnana, bhakti, and raja yogas. However, that might be, God is the source of all good, (James 1:17) and we encounter God in the Silence of which Jesus speaks.
The magian is not without good spiritual sense. Unlike so many “seekers” who simply want to get a little buzz to brag about later, or to loot God and come away to their own and others’ admiration, he understands what divine experience is intended to produce. So: “The magus said, Tell me about this Silence and this light, that I may go and there abide.” (Aquarian Gospel 40:4) He wisely seeks to abide in God permanently. For him the quest of God is not a trip to the beach for a little bit of paddling in the water only to go back to the dry land mistakenly called “home.” He wants to merge in the ocean and remain in its depths forever. Because of this, Jesus freely speaks to him of spiritual realities.
“And Jesus said, The Silence is not circumscribed; is not a place closed in with wall, or rocky steeps, nor guarded by the sword of man. Men carry with them all the time the secret place where they might meet their God. It matters not where men abide, on mountain top, in deepest vale, in marts of trade, or in the quiet home; they may at once, at any time, fling wide the door, and find the Silence, find the house of God; it is within the soul.”
