This is the immediate anxious questioning from many who are coming across the Spiritual Work, ‘In the Light of Truth’- the Grail Message, for the first time. Sometimes the question is spoken or pronounced, and most times it remains an inner yearning or desiring, which continues to nudge the bearer.
It would suffice if it is stated that everything under the sun; everything that a human being needs to know in Creation, has been addressed by the Grail Message. This brief writing will give useful hints that would lead every serious seeker to find personal answers to the question: What is the Grail Message, ‘In the Light of Truth’?
Every human being on earth should be concerned about having information on the four ‘Ws’ of life:
- Who am I?
- Where have I come from?
- Why am I here on earth?
- Where do I go after this earth life?
One should also be concerned about how Creation came into existence, and what propels the forces visibly at work. Since ancient times, these enquiries have been known and summated in the statement: “Man, Know Thyself!” The answer lies in the spiritual and not merely in the intellectual sphere of activities of a human being. Having credible answers to these questions automatically separates a human being from lower animals which just care about their feeding, breeding, and rest.
The most important step in learning something new is often expressed in the willingness to ask questions, and to make the personal effort to find true answers. The ability to do this is inherent in every human being! Therefore, one should not seek to know the contents of the Grail Message by relying on the statements (opinions) of others; especially in these days when we find prevalent spread of deliberate misinformation. There is a sacred injunction which guides every human creature to the admonitions: ‘seek and ye shall find’; ‘knock and the door shall be opened unto you.’
Therefore, the first requirement for finding answers to questions about the Grail Message is an independent-minded, objective, earnest desire to seek after the truth on the subject matter. The tool for seeking after spiritual knowledge is the intuition (also called the voice of the spirit), which is an infallible instrument of personal assessment of any matter.
The author of ‘In the Light of Truth’-the Grail Message, is Abd-ru-shin. He was born on April 18, 1875, in Bischofswerda, near Dresden, Germany and named Oskar Ernst Bernhardt. After his schooling, he commenced a career in business for which he travelled to many locations in Europe and North America. During these travels, he used his innate literary abilities and writing skills to capture impressions and experiences of places and human beings. Through further recognitions relating to his task of bringing inner awakening and spiritual guidance to humanity, Oskar Ernst Bernhardt redirected his gaze away from commercial activities, and by 1923, began publishing his essays as ‘Grail Leaflets’, which sent out the call for spiritual awakening in human beings. In 1926, Abd-ru-shin published his first full book of lectures with the title ‘In the Light of Truth’ – the New Grail Message. Subsequently, the word ‘New’ was dropped and from 1931 onwards, it was called ‘the Grail Message’.
It must be stated, however, that Abd-ru-shin demands of all who may wish to examine ‘In the Light of Truth’- the Grail Message, to seek the value of the teaching by what it brings and not because of who brought it. He wrote: “Gold is gold, whether a prince or a beggar holds it in his hand.”
In the foreword to the Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin, guides the reader and hearer with the following sentences:
“The Message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of truth, and the yearning to be true human beings. To all such it will become the shining light and staff. It will lead them unswervingly out of all the chaos of the present day confusion.
The following Word does not bring a new religion….”.
‘In the Light of Truth’-the Grail Message, does not bring a new religion or a sect, but simply offers such knowledge of Creation and the Laws of Creation, that will guide every reader or hearer to the gradual recognition and conviction about the Will of God in Creation.
The Spiritual Work, ‘In the Light of Truth, the Grail Message, gives comprehensive knowledge about all issues of life and existence; thereby helping an objective seeker to understand his/her spiritual origin, purpose on earth, the Laws or Order in Creation, as well as the different visible and invisible threads that determine destiny, fate and karma. It is addressed directly to the individual reader or hearer alone because only the individual must take responsibility for everything he/she thinks and does.
‘In the Light of Truth’ – the Grail Message of Abd-ru-shin is presented as a sequential body of lectures, compiled in three Volumes of 168 lectures. The topics cover the enlightenment which human beings need for inner spiritual awakening and consciousness; helping them to clarify errors imbibed from rigid cultural believes, religious dogmas, doctrines and through blind faith.
The topics covered in the Grail Message, among many others, include: God, Divinity, Trinity, Faith, Love, Marriage, Womanhood, Miracles, Prayer, Nature, Spirit, Soul, Survey of Creation, The Holy Grail, The Son of God, The Son of Man, The Role of Woman, Death, Resurrection, Reincarnation, Responsibility, World Events, World Judgment.
The objective reader of the Grail Message is advised to follow the lectures sequentially, starting with Volume 1, and progressing through Volume 2 up to Volume 3. The author of the Grail Message, Abd-ru-shin, also gives, in a publication, explanations about the Ten Commandments of God and the Lord’s Prayer.
There is an unbreakable connection between the Grail Message and the actual Message or teachings of the prophets of the olden times, forerunners of Truth and Jesus Christ. Indeed the earnest and objective reader would discover that this Source of Spiritual Knowledge is a continuation, consolidation and completion of the teachings of Jesus Christ, as it is another Divine gift of Love from Almighty God.
Abd-ru-shin conveys the following statement as a further guide to the reader and hearer:
“…In the knowledge of Creation which I have given in my Message, and in the related explanations of all the Laws automatically working in Creation, which may also be called the Laws of Nature, the whole weaving of Creation is displayed without a gap; it allows every process to be clearly recognized, and therewith the purpose of man’s whole life. With unassailable logic it also unfolds his “whence” and his “whither”, thus giving an answer to every question, provided man seriously seeks for it.”
