NOTICE: This Group Content page is the result of a discussion I had with LFN member Shabda. I sought out Shabda's opinion regarding a question I had about angels and if there was anything remise in literature about any high entiities that were closest to the Divine or God. Shabda's knowledge about the little known Mahavakyi led to a diffiult websearch since there seems to be little written about the Mahavakyi. I did mange to find the following information from an Eckankar forum.

Information about Silent Travelers found in Far Country
"Within this region where dwells the Sugmad, Itself, there are only a
few beings who live and serve It.These are the Mahavakyis,the Silent
Travelers-so mighty are these great ones that you seldom can confront
them.Those who have been fortunate enough to have come face to face
with one of these superior beings have thought they were in the
presence of the Sugmad,Itself.
These Silent Travelers are well named,for they are practically
invisible to all eyes outside the world of the Sugmad.As they come
down from the highest region into that of the Eck,instead of taking
form like one would think of them doing,these superior being remain in
their cloaks of anonymity.
These are what is known as the Agents of the Sugmad-those who travel
anywhere through It's vast empire on It's business.In a way these
beings are actually the subordinates of the Sugmad-in a way they are
it's deputies who carry out It's will and wishes.
Now all are subject to the laws of these strange, superior beings
for they manifest at any point so desired in the universe and carry
out some order, whether it is against the Lord of a certain plane,
including Brahm of the Brahma Lok, or the soul suffering in
purgatory.It is their duty not to question.
They are in many forms among the inhabitants of all the planes.Here
on this earth plane they may be disguised as men, animals, birds or
fish, and even rocks if it serves their purpose to carry out the
mission of their superior commander.
Much as some of the spiritual travelers know about the Sugmad,little
is known about these Silent Ones,who come and go like the winds of the
world.The spiritual travelers have their own agents, as well as the
Lords and governors of the various regions of the universes;each in
turn reports to to his own cheif and carries out his desire.But the But the
Silent Travelers are not responsible to anyone but the Sugmad.He alone
gives them their commissions to be carried out-and they must work for
It alone or be cast out of the heavens and into the bowels of the
earth, as Lucifer was in the beginning of time.
These Silent Ones are in command of the great sound current in the
high heavens,and are here to give aid and comfort to the Sugmad in
It's eternal home.They keep the planes balanced and in order,so that
little destruction can come to them, should any of the inhabitants go
on a rampage and bring about the fall of planes within planes.They are
in charge of time, creativity,space and other mechanical phases of the
lower universes.
They see that the planets in this world are properly hung in space
so there will be no collision of them,by being out of their assigned
positions. They have immense powers,and great wisdom to carry out their
missions,and of course unlimited freedom.
Outside the Sugmad, these Silent Travelers are the most powerful
beings in all the worlds,and next to them are the spiritual
travelers. The Lords and governors of all the planes can be powerful
within their own domain,but they are subject to the laws which govern
them, and even the Brahman, as i have said before, will have to be
reincarnated again.They are all limited, in power,wisdom and freedom.
The Eck Masters know when the Silent Ones are around,and they
cooperate with them at the level upon which they are working with them
at the time.The Eck Travelers are subject to the Silent Ones;they do
not have to obey,yet they will because it's realized always that the
Silents are directly from the Sugmad-out of love and respect they will
give their best cooperation,even though at times they wouldn't like to
do so.
So you have three levels of independent workers in eternity,who
cooperate in the running of the worlds.First, the Sugmad the all
supreme being,second the Silent Travelers,who are It's messengers or
agents, and third,the spiritual travelers, who are the agents of the
Sugmad, and the Silent Ones.The three work together in perfect harmony
and understanding.
...(skipping 4 paragraphs)...
The Silent Travelers,as i have said,have no such laws hanging over
them,and they are free as the winds of the world.Now this is the
interest the Silent Travelers hold for you-someday you may become one,
for it is the highest point in all the universes you can reach.
You can become a Silent Traveler,which is one of the Sugmad's
closest relations-these strange beings have their home and habitat
within the heart of the Sugmad.Nothing can get any closer than these
beings who are without doubt the only creatures who are in direct
contact with the Lord God of all worlds.
If you are at all interested you may aim your sights at becoming a
Silent One.But if you do this, there will be an intensity of training
which you have never heard of in your life nor in your many
incarnations spent on earth.The training that many lamas are reported
as going through would be a child's practice beside what the
candidates go through. Many fail to make the ranks of the Silent Ones."
