"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." (Genesis 6:8)

<1>God remembered Noah, a great spiritual being (one of His sons) and His Grace arose in Him. People like Noah are those who encourage the Lord that His task is not completely fruitless. They are the "light of the world" (Matthew 5:14).



"These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." (Genesis 6:9)

<2>As it can be seen, the description of the generations of Adam stopped at the end of chapter five before the generations of Noah are described, and then the generations of Noah are picked up again here. Verses 6:1 to 6:9 describe how the world became corrupt and what the situation was at that time. <3>Noah was chosen to lead the new generation of men to safety.

<4>The sentence "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations" indicates that Noah had reached perfection (Pure Consciousness). <5>"And Noah walked with God" means that he understood and followed the Laws of the Lord. Because of these things, Noah "found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Genesis 6:8).



"And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth." (Genesis 6:10)

<6>Noah helped the new generations to start, as symbolized by his three sons. Previously, when explaining the generations of Adam, only the first son was considered (in their likeness). Now here, the names of all three sons of Noah are given. This sudden difference shows the change of the human from a man who was in touch with the power of nature, to an intellectual being instead.

<7>Also the sons of Adam were in his image, "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own image;...." But here there is no emphasis that the sons of Noah were in his image. That is, the sons were different than he. They were different types of humans in new generations (not different races).



"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." (Genesis 6:11)

<8>This violence refers to the climate of the earth. God also decided to change the climate of the earth. The climate had been affected by the actions of the previous generation and needed to be cleansed and changed to fit the new generation. < 9>Also, its other meaning is that the people had become corrupt and were violating the Laws of the universe (Daharmas). They were not following the Commandment of non-violence (not violating the Daharma).



"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth." (Genesis 6:12)

<10>All creatures were bound to the desires of their senses (flesh), and they had forgotten that they were not only flesh, but spirit also. They were lost in their physical senses toward the external world (Maya). <11>Each person was following his own laws -- false ego ("corrupted his way upon the earth") instead of the Daharmas (Laws of God). This also had affected the earth itself.



"And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." (Genesis 6:13)

<12>God decided to destroy all the old creatures and the earth ("with the earth"), which means to create a new generation with a new climate (earth). Noah, who was a son of God and pleased the Lord -- "...found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Genesis 6:8) -- was chosen for this task.



"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." (Genesis 6:14)

<13>God instructed Noah on how to make a safe place or condition (ark) in order to save the new generation. As we can see, God decided to destroy only the old generation, not Noah and his newly founded generation.



"And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits." (Genesis 6:15)

<14>Further instructions were given on how to save them and bring about the new situation.



"A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (Genesis 6:16)

"And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die." (Genesis 6:17)

<15>God surely decided to destroy all old things and start a new generation. However, the new generation would not be created abruptly after the flood of Noah. Like all the Plans of the Lord, it would take hundreds or thousands of years before being completed. Although the process started 12,000 years ago, its completion occurred 6,000 years ago.



"But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee." (Genesis 6:18)

<16>The new generation would be saved by Noah, through His Grace.



"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female." (Genesis 6:19)

<17>New animal generations should be saved too. Here God demanded, "two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark." Later on, God demanded that Noah bring more than two (Genesis 7:2) of each animal, so that at least two of them, a male and a female, would stay alive, "to keep alive with thee; they shall be male and female."



"Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive." (Genesis 6:20)

<18>Again emphasis is placed on "two of every sort..., to keep them alive."



"And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them." (Genesis 6:21)

"Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he." (Genesis 6:22)

<19>Noah did all the instructions given to him, and he prepared everything to save the new generations of humans and animals for the new climate on earth.

Chapter 6

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them," (Genesis 6:1)

<1>So far, in describing the generations of Adam, all the first born were men (or men were mentioned as the likeness of their fathers). Now in this sentence it is emphasized that "daughters were born unto them," meaning that there were also people with first born daughters.



"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." (Genesis 6:2)

<2>In this time many Avatars (god-men or sons of God) were on earth. <3>Also there was more than one son of God even before the flood of Noah, "the sons of God...." <4>Furthermore, sons of God (gods) are in Pure Consciousness; they no longer need a mate and all feel complete when in their presence. Also these people surely will be just toward their wives. That is why sons of God "took them wives of all which they chose," more than one.

<5>This might have, however, made some of them (in a lower level) become too attached to earth. They became earthbound (failed) into mundanity (their lower natures)! It was these fallen ones who joined the fallen hierarchy. <6>They represent themselves to those who are susceptible enough to be their channels. They are not a part of the Heavenly Hierarchy, but they pretend themselves to be.

<7>True Heavenly Beings do not use individuals as channels, but help them to realize God. They also reveal to them realization of subtle truths through individual intuition (the quiet, still Voice of God). They have no individual ego and are one with God. Individuals become channels for God.

<8>It is of extreme importance not to be possessed with fallen ethereal beings. That is one of the reasons God sends the Messiah to show the shortest way to salvation. <9>The ethereal beings sometime reveal a lot of good information, but God alone is the salvation.

<10>There are also those who claim they are channels and are not. It is done as an ego gratification. This is the worst. Be honest. Greater than being honest to others is to be honest to oneself! Then you surely will be honest with others. Honesty starts within the heart! Some, however, take their own creative mind by mistake as being a being out of themselves. They should also analyze it to be sure it is coming from a pure heart.



"And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." (Genesis 6:3)

<11>The word "And" here at the beginning of the verse means, "And it came to pass," or "later on," when man became more corrupt. "The Lord said" means that God made the decision that "my spirit shall not always strive with man." Until now humans had direct contact with the forces of nature and could manipulate them. They had misused these forces for their mundane and fleshly desires. That is why the sentence, "for that he also is flesh" is used, which means, "not only is man spirit but also he is flesh [Maya]."

<12>Man has been so attached to his fleshly desires that he thinks he is more flesh than spirit (when the Soul of man becomes very crude, he indeed is flesh). <13>However, this man with these qualities was making problems for God, "...My spirit shall not always strive with man," and it was very difficult to guide him to the right path. Therefore another evolutionary process became necessary: a new kind of man would have to be created. The occult powers and the power of understanding the forces of nature should be taken away from man, and instead their earthly logic and reasoning (intellect) would be increased.

<14>One further change that occurred with this process was that the time for reaching maturity was accelerated and the lifespan would become around one-hundred-twenty years long. However, it would take generations before man's lifespan would become close to this number. As in chapter 11, still after the flood of Noah, the lifespan was much longer, but in a declining trend. <15>Each lifetime is like a day in the spiritual life of an individual. He will be reincarnated again and again in many lifetimes (each as one day) until he reaches Pure Consciousness and becomes a son of God.

<16>With this process of letting intelligence remain and/or increase, God does not have to strive with man all the time and can guide him step-by-step with His Messengers and Prophets (His sons) and with the creation of history and its message to man. Eventually, after humans have gained more knowledge and experience from history, they will know that the only way to happiness is to follow the Laws (Daharmas) that have been set up by God, to try to become Pure Consciousness, and to help others to become the same.



"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." (Genesis 6:4)

<17>There were giants (Nefilims) in the earth in those days. Before the human became as he is now, he had direct contact with the forces of nature. Therefore, through misusing his powers of being able to understand nature, the old generation tried to extract and process the life-force and to use it against the Laws of nature. This created great disturbances on earth. Therefore it was necessary to close the door of the human's power (the third eye) and let only the intellect remain.

<18>For doing this the sons of God came down to the earth again and they changed the way women should bear children (by changing the genetic codes in the human), and a new generation was born from the sons of God. This generation consisted of the new mighty men who came from the old humans but were much greater ("mighty men which were of old, men of renown").

<19>This generation was the one very similar to ours. The power of the third eye was closed and intellect increased. The human's spiritual eye was closed and became the pineal gland placed in the brain. Now man must prove himself to be trustworthy before this eye becomes open.

<20>That is what the process of evolution and history teaches humans. If they understand and follow the lessons given by this process, they can accelerate their progress toward Pure Consciousness. Yet if they follow their false egos and their own laws and regulations (lower natures), no one will be hurt but themselves. <21>This body is given to us for a purpose. For example, when we feel pain we know something is wrong. In the same way, when everyone becomes lost and does not know what to do in life, then man should know there is something wrong with his laws and way of living.

<22>When man finally sees that throughout all of history he has suffered by following his false ego, then he will realize the shortcomings of his own laws and surrender to the Universal Laws, no matter how bad they look to his ego. Only by following the Daharma of everything can we be happy. No matter how much we intellectually argue, it will not help to bring happiness to humanity. Only following the Laws of God will bring everlasting happiness and peace.



"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5)

<23>God looked at the earth and saw that the previous generation that had the power of being in direct contact with the forces of nature was badly corrupt. They became so attached to the external world (Maya, evil) that there was no hope for them.



"And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." (Genesis 6:6)

<24>God grieved about why he had separated un-awakened consciousnesses, had given them bodies, and had made them to live on earth. The sentence, "he had made man on the earth," indicates that God wished He had tried the old process and helped unaware consciousnesses in the ethereal world. It is true that it would have taken longer to bring them to Pure Consciousness, but there would not have been so much trouble. But now men were on the earth and God wanted to help them and had great compassion for these lost consciousnesses.



"And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." (Genesis 6:7)

<25>Then God decided to destroy all that He had created

"And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth:..." (Genesis 4:25)

"And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord." (Genesis 4:26)

<1>Enos and Seth caused people to become God-conscious and to worship Him again.



Chapter 5

"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;" (Genesis 5:1)

<2>As it is said, these books of generations are used in the Bible not to show who is the son or daughter of whom, but to show that it took generations before a new evolutionary process took place.

<3>The words, "in the day God created man" indicate that the next phrase, "in the likeness of God made he him," was true only at the first phase of the evolutionary process and creation. Later on Adam (man) was divided into male and female.

<4>Only when a human finds his other part will he become perfect. However, some people's other parts might not have been incarnated, and these are the ones who become sannyasins (renunciates) and will merge with their other parts on the spiritual plane. Some are born androgynous.



"Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." (Genesis 5:2)

<5>In this verse it is completely clear that Adam (the first man) was male and female. The sentence, "and called their name Adam" is referring to the name given to the people (more than one person) whom He called Adam. It does not say, "they were called Adam and Eve" or "man and woman," or anything that indicates separation between the sexes, but He called "them" (which means more than one) Adam. "Male and female created he them" indicates that each of them was male and female at the same time.

<6>The phrase "in the day when they were created" shows that later on this changed and Adam was divided into two parts as Adam and Eve, or man and woman. They were separated from each other and each was something less than the image of God. Only when these two parts join each other, either on the material plane or on the spiritual plane, can they become perfect again.



"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:" (Genesis 5:3)

<7>This verse clearly shows what is the relationship between a perfected man (Adam before the split) and God. God created Adam in His image, and Adam (after the split) begat a son in his image and likeness (half of perfection). Adam created another human who was in his image (like himself). Therefore, he was Adam's son. God created (in the beginning of creation) Adam (man) in His image and likeness. Therefore, Adam was His son!

<8>That is why when a human reaches perfection, he becomes a son of God. <9>Another point is that this lifetime was different from the one when he begot Abel and Cain. He lived a hundred and thirty years in this lifetime and begot Seth.



"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:4)

<10>The lifespan of the human was much longer at that time, and they would mature slower. <11>The words "the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth" show that Seth was his first born in this lifetime. There is no mention of Abel or Cain in this verse. If it was the same lifetime as the one with Abel and Cain, the name of Cain should have appeared here as the first born, not Seth. But Seth is the first born in this incarnation of Adam and his wife. Only the name of the first born is mentioned first in all the generations in this chapter in the Bible.



"And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died." (Genesis 5:5)

"And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:" (Genesis 5:6)

"And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:7)

"And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died." (Genesis 5:8)

"And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:" (Genesis 5:9)

"And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:10)

"And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died." (Genesis 5:11)

"And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:" (Genesis 5:12)

"And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:13)

"And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died." (Genesis 5:14)

"And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:" (Genesis 5:15)

"And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:16)

"And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died." (Genesis 5:17)

"And Jared lived an hundred and sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:" (Genesis 5:18)

"And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:19)

"And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died." (Genesis 5:20)

"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:" (Genesis 5:21)

"And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:22)

<12>The phrase "to walk with God" is related to pursuing a pure life and observing the Laws (Daharma) that have been set up by God. By following the Daharma of everything, a person will not violate any Law and will lead a life of non-violence. <13>This will be considered as walking with God on the same path.



"And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:" (Genesis 5:23)

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." (Genesis 5:24)

<14>Because Enoch walked with God (he lived a daharmic life), the phrase "he was not," when compared with the sequence of the previous sentences, can be interpreted as meaning: Enoch did not die, but "God took him," or he reached liberation or Pure Consciousness. Because Enoch walked with God, he reached Pure Consciousness and immortality, and God took him. <15>He became one of the gods (sons of God).

<16>Although he started to walk with God later in his life (after he begat Methuselah -- verse 22), still he reached Pure Consciousness.



"And Methuselah lived an hundred and eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:" (Genesis 5:25)

"And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:26)

"And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died." (Genesis 5:27)

"And Lamech lived an hundred and eighty and two years, and begat a son:" (Genesis 5:28)

<17>To "begat a son" here refers to Noah, who was a spiritually incarnated personality. <18>Also, not mentioning his name but only the word "son" can be interpreted to mean that he was the son of God (in His image, His son, an Avatar).



"And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." (Genesis 5:29)

<19>Noah was a spiritual personality who would bring a rest on the earth and a new evolutionary step would be taken in his lifetime. He was born for a great purpose and he would fulfill it.



"And Lamech lived after be begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:" (Genesis 5:30)

"And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died." (Genesis 5:31)

<20>777 is a very mystical number (three sevens). Seven is God's number. Also it is the number of mystics.



"And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth." (Genesis 5:32)

<21>However, it was necessary for Noah to go through a regular life until he reached maturity and complete understanding to be informed of his mission. <22>Also his three sons are the symbols of the five types of humans on the earth (explained at the end of chapter 9 and in chapter 10).

"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." (Genesis 4:8)

<1>Cain could not understand these things. Therefore he (or any lost soul) started wondering why he was so miserable while Abel (a wise person) was so happy and joyful. <2>Cain talked with Abel and tried to understand the reason for this difference. But he could not understand it. Therefore, he became jealous of Abel and killed him.

<3>That is how lost people feel about realized humans or Prophets. Cain could not understand his own Daharma. Instead of looking within himself to find out his own abilities and source of happiness, he looked for them outside of himself. So he did not find it and started to blame others for his own suffering.



"And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9)

<4>Cain denied his sin to the Lord.



"And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground." (Genesis 4:10)

<5>But nothing can be hidden from God. He knows everything happening in His universe. He made this universe in such a way that He is able to know all things going on through His Angels (the Universal Mind).



"And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;" (Genesis 4:11)

<6>Cain will suffer even though he denied what he did and thought he could hide his action from God. <7>It does not matter how smart anyone thinks he is in hiding his sins. God will know them, and the result of all actions will be received by the doer, unless he repents and corrects himself.



"When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." (Genesis 4:12)

<8>Not only do your actions affect you, but they also affect the whole universe, and so disasters and famines are a part of the reaction of the actions done by humans.



"And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear." (Genesis 4:13)

<9>Now Cain did not want to accept the punishment of his actions, and he felt it was too great. That is what everyone feels. Each person thinks that he suffers more and has greater problems than anyone else.



"Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me." (Genesis 4:14)

<10>When the burden of karma becomes too heavy, then man completely loses his touch with God. He becomes a homeless and lost soul who does not feel that even the earth is his home. Such a person can be hurt by others easily. That is exactly what the false ego is. It does not feel itself to be a part of the universe but feels separated, lonely, and vulnerable.



"And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him." (Genesis 4:15)

<11>It is true that Cain was cursed and lost but it is not any man's duty to judge and/or punish another human. It is only God who can judge and guide humans as well as those in a state of very high consciousness or Pure Consciousness (sons of God). <12>Therefore, if anyone inflicts a punishment on another person, he will suffer sevenfold for what was done to that other person.



"And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden." (Genesis 4:16)

<13>Again the human went further away from being in the presence of God by committing more sins and crudifying himself. This is exactly how the Law of Karma works: as man creates samskaras (bad actions, or breaking the Daharma), he will separate himself more and more from God.

<14>Races on earth started to be mixed with one another, "...and dwelt in the land of Nod..."



"And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch." (Genesis 4:17)

<15>The words "to know his wife" means to cleave with the other part of the human and to become complete. Therefore, Cain was with his other part as his wife and the result was Enoch. Intermarriage between races started.



"And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech." (Genesis 4:18)

<16>The use of generations in the Bible is for showing that many years passed after the creation of Adam, and humans became more and more separated from God. It took a long line of birth and rebirth until God started to select some to lead others to the straight path, or until He could see the defect of those humans who had failed and could then do something about it.



"And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah." (Genesis 4:19)

<17>By marrying two wives, Lamech created a strong karmic link with these two women. They became his soulmates and/or twin flames.



"And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle." (Genesis 4:20)

<18>Cattle-keeping became a profession.



"And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ." (Genesis 4:21)

<19>Earthly music was born.



"And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah." (Genesis 4:22)

<20>The importance of brass and iron was recognized.



"And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt." (Genesis 4:23)

<21>Lamech had slain someone and confessed his sin.



"If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold." (Genesis 4:24)

<22>Because Lamech confessed his sins, no one should judge him for his action by hate. If that does happen, he will be avenged seventy-seven times. Therefore, the person who is aware of his sins is in a much higher place than the person who denies his sins.

"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord." (Genesis 4:1)

<1>Man became attached to the family life and its pleasure of having sons and daughters. God gave man children to make him understand how God feels about humans. God has the same feeling about humans as a parent has about his children. <2>Also, usually children have the same feeling about their parents, as man has about God (unappreciative).



"And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." (Genesis 4:2)

<3>As man multiplied, the division of labor started.



"And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord." (Genesis 4:3)

<4>Now the process of worshipping God became one of offering gross things, because humans thought that God needed things. However, the ideation and feeling created is what is important in this type of worshipping.



"And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering:" (Genesis 4:4)

<5>Firstling flock was a great offering by a sheep keeper, and he gave the best for his Lord. Abel was not attached to the external wealth but he sought God's Grace, and offered it without any attachment to the results of his offering. <6>Therefore, God respected the offering.



"But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." (Genesis 4:5)

<7>Cain was attached to the result of his action. God wanted to show Cain that he wasn't presenting the offering with a pure heart and without expectation. That is why God did not respect his offering. Instead of being patient and understanding that the perfect God has a reason for doing that, <8>Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. God was trying to make a point and give him a lesson.

<9>That is exactly what happens to those who are not completely surrendered to God and are not willing to understand and follow His Laws. They become wroth, their countenance falls, and they become lost, because they are attached to their lower natures and judge God from that state of consciousness, instead of being patient and learn.



"And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?" (Genesis 4:6)

<10>Those are really the questions that every person (Cain in this case) should ask him or herself, i.e., "Why am I attached to the result of my actions? Why am I angry about everything? Why am I lost?"



"If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." (Genesis 4:7)

<11>Here it is shown that it was not the offering which was rejected, but the way it was offered, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?" <12>The sentence, "and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door" means, "Your desire to receive some result of your action and your attachment to gain for something you do for the Lord is completely apparent from you."

<13>Desire to gain something for any service makes it a business, not service. <14>Giving something for gain is business. <15>Service means to give without expecting anything in return. This kind of service brings His Grace.

<16>"And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him" means, "Therefore this desire will rule over you, your actions will become fruitless, and you will lose the respect for your actions."

"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them." (Genesis 3:21)

<1>Man became gross enough that he assumed a fleshly body with skin ("coats of skin").



"And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:" (Genesis 3:22)

<2>Now God was cautious that man, with these weaknesses after being separated into two parts and by his desire to follow his lower self, should not be allowed to come to godhood (immortal and powerful), because he would use these powers for his selfish desires and disturb the whole creation. Therefore God made man mortal until he comes to a stage where he overcomes these weaknesses.

<3>The tree of life is the state of Pure Consciousness which will bring everlasting (eternal) life. <4>However, man should not reach this stage before he overcomes his lower nature (tama guna over his Soul) and also understands the reality behind this universe (helps those who have an ear to hear to reach Pure Consciousness). Then he will be worthy to join the gods. Otherwise he will be "spued out of His mouth" (Rev. 3:16).



"Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." (Genesis 3:23)

<5>Man became so gross that he identified himself with his body and thought that he was his body, and that was when his sorrow started. <6>Here the word "him" refers to a single person. Therefore, we can see that Eve and Adam are two natures of the same man. This has been used in all of chapter 3 of Genesis to refer to the lower and higher selves.

<7>Also in this stage of evolution a new condition for the earth was necessary which is symbolized by sending man from the garden of Eden. That misty kind of environment which was described in chapter 2 is not present here. Man should till the ground. The era of Shudras (laborers) began.



"So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." (Genesis 3:24)

<8>Only by overcoming his lower nature and realizing that he has to help others, can man enter Pure Consciousness. <9>He should understand that a selfish individual desire to reach Pure Consciousness without helping others who are also ready will not be successful.

<10>He should also help others on the path. Otherwise he will be "spued out of His mouth" (Rev. 3:16). That spuing out of His mouth here is symbolized as the flaming sword which Cherubims (external world) have in their hands. Attraction of the external world will prevent man from entering the eternal world (tree of life), until man overcomes his lower nature. <11>That is why those who have chosen the spiritual path will be tested, in each step and turn, to prove themselves.
