Thanks Namaste2All and Yoshi in Sutra 13 we get a very clear glimpse of just where we find ourselves in our spiritual evolution.  It is clear that many of us here on the forum have somewhat transcended the lowest loka that of the illusion of this material creation. We  have seen the mistakes and gained wisdom by realizing that we are not able to find our ultimate happiness in this material creation. Therefore unlike many of the people we see around us; we no longer place our faith or trust in the effort to accumulate material objects or in the belief that any person or object can give us permanent happiness. We see people driving expensive cars or having expensive houses and know that behind it there is an emptiness. There is still not happiness and most of these people have been traveling down dead end roads. We see the beautiful physical bodies on billboards that sell us the illusion that somehow having the perfect body or having a partner with such qualities will give us ultimate happiness.

We have risen above this Bhuloka which is the gross material creation and gone to the Bhuvarloka where we are in tune with inner experiences. It is true that we may still have many attachments to this physical world yet we have glimpses into another world that of electricities and more subtle properties of this dimension. i think many of us find comparisons and share experience with these finer vibrations to verify our own sanity in a world in which we find ourselves that is mentally and spiritually ill.

Some of us even find ourselves having glimpses and wisdom that correlates to a higher age then the one we are presently engaged in. We have an understanding, at this time of history, of magnetism and how it works. We feel attractions and then realize we are repulsed by the very thing we are attracted to. You can see this happening in relationships all the time. People who just are infatuated or attracted to others who later leave them with out any shame.

After a while we begin to see the tricks that this creation is playing on us. We start balancing the thoughts and feelings that release within us. Whether the mass of humanity is with us or not we begin to have perceptions akin to the Swarloka.

Lastly in the physcal realms. At times we might have realizations about our divine purpose. We might even have an opening of the heart that is  akin to the mass of humanity in a much higher age then the one we are living in . It is called the Satya Yuga and thus if we function on this loka even for a few moments we have the experience of being in the Maharloka.

It is important to recognize the Sri Yukteswar wrote the Holy Science for our benefit in the year 1894. As you can see he was way ahead of his time then (and now). We can take comfort in the fact that we too our ahead of most of humanity crawling snail like towards an understanding of spirit. Sure we too may manifest some of the qualities of the lower Lokas and the lower ages. But generally speaking we meet here sharing our experiences of a vaster spiritual understanding, otherwise we would be spending our time reading the tabloids, going to bars, worshiping the stars of music fame and film screen and gaining friends on Facebook.
