Templo de la Buena Voluntad
El Templo de la Buena Voluntad es el retiro etérico del maestro El Morya. Se encuentra en el reino etérico, a las faldas de los Himalayas, por encima de la ciudad de Darjeeling, en la India. Corrientes magníficas y radiantes de luz se vierten desde su retiro, que también tiene un foco físico en las colinas que rodean la ciudad.
Definición
blanco resplandeciente, de arquitectura morisca, cuadrado, con minaretes en las cuatro esquinas y un domo central grande en forma de llama. Las paredes son tan gruesas como un castillo medieval. Las aperturas también son en forma de llama o de domo, delicadamente coloreadas de un pálido azul como lo están las entradas, las aperturas sobre los minaretes y las tallas que marcan las divisiones de los cuatro pisos del retiro.
Al entrar en esta sede central del gobierno del mundo interior, en el primer piso se nos muestra el auditorio principal. Al fondo está el foco del corazón diamantino, al que atienden los devas y los Hermanos del Corazón Diamantino. En un altar elevado hay un diamante azul pálido con una delicada llama azul, que abarca la llama blanca, visible en el centro del diamante.
Los Hermanos del Corazón Diamantino que prestan servicio en este retiro bajo el maestro El Morya ayudan en los empeños de la humanidad organizando, desarrollando, dirigiendo e implementando la voluntad de Dios como la base para todos los movimientos organizativos exitosos. Dentro de este auditorio principal y en las salas de consejo adjuntas, los hermanos, con sus túnicas azul real de diseño oriental, terminadas con fajas azul claro, se reúnen para hablar de los planes de la Hermandad para la entrega más eficaz de la voluntad de Dios en el campo de la acción. Su gran amor por la voluntad de Dios desprende el sentimiento de gran compasión por los hombres y un interés por su bienestar, para que no se desvíen al intentar de buena fe llevar a cabo los votos que hicieron en los niveles internos para hacer avanzar el plan divino y la marea que progresa de la voluntad del Padre para la era de oro venidera.
The diamond-shining mind of God is the focus, the very heart, of any endeavor. Thus, these servants of the will of God, through their devotion to the diamond in the Great Hub and its focus here on the altar at Darjeeling, assist the Holy Christ Selves of any group who come together for service in maintaining a focus of that diamond as a magnet that will draw to the group the energies required for the completion of a particular project or community service. These brothers direct the angel ministrants of the flame, the devas and the angels of white fire and blue lightning to go forth with the creative essence of the sacred fire focused here to carry it daily to the many centers of action across the face of the earth.
In rooms adjoining the main auditorium, public servants, world and community leaders and holders of public office are schooled between embodiments and in their finer bodies during sleep. All lifestreams on the first ray come here at one point or another in their embodiments, as well as between embodiments, to renew the charge of Morya’s thrust for a purpose in the world of form and to refresh their own understanding of the intricacies of the will of God in politics, in religion, in business, in finance and in education.
Second floor
On the second floor we are shown the private quarters of our beloved master, his study, libraries and formal meeting rooms for members of the Darjeeling Council. Another great hall is fully equipped to accommodate several hundred ascended and unascended masters who meet frequently to discuss international problems and the means to their solution.
Third floor
We are taken to the third floor where we notice more of the intricate carvings in Indian and Tibetan designs engraved in the white marble. The theme of the blue lotus recurs throughout the halls, whereas in the interior of the master’s quarters we see his favorite flower, the forget-me-not, clustered here and there. We learn that these carvings can be changed at will, for they are engravings of the diamond-shining mind of God, which the brothers of this retreat reflect to a remarkable degree and use as a function of the Christ mind and its ability to precipitate and to heal at will.
As we approach this floor, our hearts are expectant and quickened by the pulsations of the focus of the will of God. The doors to the flame room are opened by our host who bids us enter. Sparkling white walls are contrasted by royal-blue floor and ceiling. The flame of the will of God is adorned in the center of the room by an inlaid design, a cosmic pattern in mosaic, a focus of the divine geometry. The flame has a royal-blue center with deeper and lighter shades flowing without as facets of the will of God.
The third and fourth floors of the retreat have many prayer and meditation rooms. Here, worship is conducted, and special ceremonies are even held upon the roof under the stars where there is also an astronomical observatory.
The sternness of Morya
There are great lessons to be learned on the path of initiation, and they begin even at the very door of Morya’s retreat in Darjeeling. Morya is a very stern guru, and he has an interesting sense of humor. At the entrance to this retreat, he keeps a very gruff chela. This gatekeeper has no appearance whatsoever of mastery or of even being worthy to stand at the gate of the master’s retreat. He speaks gruffly and is not dressed in the best of attire. If those who knock at the door of the retreat have disdain for the gatekeeper, then the master determines that they are not worthy to be received at his retreat.
The master himself addresses the subject of his seeming sternness and of his great love for us:
For a long period of time individuals have intimated to mankind that I, Morya El, am extremely stern. This may be true, in a sense, that I am stern because the first ray in itself represents the will of God. And I ask you, beloved hearts, if I, as the chohan of the first ray, am to flinch from the will of God, then where is the foundation and basis for all that is to follow?
But I tell you that my love is as real and tangible as any of the other chohans of the rays, and they will be the first to witness to its reality and tangibility. If you contact any other master of light, whether you are sleeping or awake in your finer bodies, they will verify the great love. But I know, my chelas, it is not necessary that you ask, for you know, who know the light, that I love you. You know that I have stood beside you when you needed me. And you know that I will continue to do so as long as you revere in your hearts and minds the will of God, even when sometimes you seem to fall short of it.
However, I do not condone falling short of the will of God. I hope that the day will soon come when every one of you will be so firm that nothing can break you or shake you or change you. I await that day. I await the day when you are ready to give your all to the light as we have done.[1]
Welcome to Darjeeling
Morya opens his doors constantly to different lifestreams who desire to come closer to the will of God. He invites you to his retreat where he and the Brothers of the Diamond Heart open their arms and say, “Come to our fireside, warm yourselves upon the sacred fires, partake of our holy communion.”
Morya says:
Gracious ones, as I gaze upon the minarets here at Darjeeling, as I see the gleaming white marble so unlike and yet like the Taj Mahal, as I see our art treasures resplendent in hope of the will of God, how I would share with you some glimpse of all that herein remains as a monumental achievement to the Temple of Good Will. How I would share with you the soft carpets of our retreat. How I would share with you the musical tinkle of our fountain. How I would share with you the pleasant hours by the fireside, contemplating the immortal purpose.
How I would share with you myself and all that God has wrought through me. How I would share with you the love of the shining faces round about our council table. How I would share with you the deliberations of our council. How I would share with you the communion of saints and the communion with heaven. How I would share with you the mighty pillar of good will, the great blue flame that pulsates upon our altar. How I would share with you every gift of good will, this season and eternally.[2]
