Pekka Ervast

In all times, people have believed that human exists after death and that there is, an invisible world. There have also been people who have sought and found answers about the purpose of existence, life after death and the spiritual realm. Finnish writer Pekka Ervast, describes the requirements for spiritual knowledge, on the basis of, Indian Vedanta philosophy and Christian occultism. In the first stage, knowledge from the visible and invisible world is, gained through the senses. In the second stage, the truth seeker becomes self-aware in the invisible world. And finally, in the third stage human becomes one with God, the spirit of Brahman, and gains the highest knowledge attainable. The first chapters examine the purpose and structure of both the presently existing as well as the yet dormant senses of a human being. The following chapters examine the yoga practices of Patanjali and their influence on human constitution. And finally, Ervast examines the life after death and the experiences, which one, faces on the spiritual path.

Finnish Theosophist Pekka Ervast shows us in a consistent way how a person seeking truth can get a personal experience of God's existence and how God loves him or her and all people with constant and unalterable love. God lives inside every human being and with this Inner God we can be happy in the circumstances that we are in right now. Happiness is not a reward one gains after a struggle but it is the purpose of human life. The only way out of illnesses, worries, vices and the feeling of loneliness is faith in life itself and one's mission in life. It is the only remedy which helps with everything. Faith is regular meditation or prayer through which one begins to understand that the purpose of life is to be of help to others.
