Ramakrishna and Jesus.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

I have read quite a few stories about Ramakrishna and Jesus, and it

is interesting that he used to go into bhavasamadhi sometimes at the

sight of his picture. Of his disciples he once said, that many had

come before. In previous incarnations of the Lord, Rama, Krishna,

and Jesus. I didn't know who Jesus was until I got into Vedanta, and

reading Ramakrishna's visions and words about him, made me start to

think. I don't think I thought he was a divine being at all. Finally

I understood his divinity and that he in all liklehood was a

Jivanmukta in the final action on the cross.

 

'Lord Jesus the Christ, the Master-Yogi, eternally one with God, who

shed his heart's blood for the deliverence of men! It is

He!'...Ramakrishna during his visions of Jesus..... Swami

Saradananda..............ONS..Tony.

The most potently tragic revelation that Tony does not know Jesus at all.

 

Jesus is not about any of that, Tony. Jesus is simply a fierce, undiluted

love for every woman, man, child on earth. Unqualified and forgiving of any

and all faults. That is what induced whatever state of Samadhi into

Ramakrishna. Ramakrishna understood completely about Jesus. He never sought

to make

comparisons. But he truly understood that the most important commandment was

to love others as thyself. And in this, it is not mean't that one should

love others as much as is convenient, but to love others as if their needs and

interests were locked like a vice to your own needs and interests---that your

own ego perishes in the very act of pursuing this unconditional love. That

you are never afraid of being totally honest and forthright with others, that

you embrace them fully, passionately, lovingly. Jesus did not shake hands

with those whom he met. He embraced them fully, passionately, kissed them on

the cheeks and held them for a long time...be they man or woman. The love was

not feigned, it was not affected. I have met few who have achieved anything

close to this. To seek to reinterpret the Gospels when one has not met Jesus

in the flesh or in the spirit is some sort of unholy act of blasphemy, I

think.

 

Please, Tony, stop before you do your own troubled soul more harm.

 

Peeace,

 

Namaste,
