Why Jesus taught 'in parables' to the masses...

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

At Shri Jesus's Time, He mostly taught in parables 'en masse' and He revealed

the Truth to very few disciples of His. Later, Jesus's truths of the 'kingdom

within' got misconstrued somehow into an external 'kingdom without' that could

not do without rabbis, teachers, and leaders, who interpreted His teachings to

others also. Jesus did warn about the creation of the 'kingdom without' which

gets falsely created when men start to call themselves... rabbi'(teacher),

'father', or 'leader'. The reason why Shri Jesus taught that we not call

ourselves thus, is because according to Him there can only be One Teacher... One

Father... and One Leader... and that is " Christ " , the " Christed One " :

 

" But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

And do not call anyone on Earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is

in heaven. And do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader... that is,

Christ.

 

But the greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself

shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. " (Matthew

23:8-12)

 

Christendom has in fact put Jesus, the Christ on a pedestal, which is not

something Jesus Himself did. Jesus was very down-to-earth. He did not call

Himself 'rabbi'(teacher), 'father', or 'leader', but He said that everyone who

does the will of His Father is His 'brother', 'sister', and 'mother'.(It would

therefore not be wrong to call Him Our " Elder Brother " ). The theme of the

" spiritual family " is present in Jesus's Vision, rather than the theme of

Earthly priestly powers:

 

" For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother, and

sister and mother. " (Matthew 12:50)

 

However, it seems that all people who have named themselves after all these

positions, have not really heard nor seen Jesus's Real Message! For the Main

Message of both Jesus and Shri Mataji is that the Kingdom of God is to be found

within the person, and not in any external 'organised thing' done by any

'rabbi', 'father', or 'leader'. It is only in the Adi Shakti within, the Holy

Spirit within, the Shekinah within, the Ruh of Allah within, the Maitreya

within, the Great Mother within, the Aykaa Mayee within (The Silence Within)

where we find and discover the Kingdom of God which is " within " and " not

without " every human being! And that is the Great Secret that many have yet to

experience today. It is only by dissociating one's attention away from

'rabbis'(teachers), 'fathers', and 'leaders' and " going within " that we can

discover our " Christ-Spirit Within " , which Shri Mataji also said was to be " our

Teacher, our Master, and our Guru " .

 

Just like at Jesus's Time... while 'seeing and hearing' Shri Mataji's Message,

many of Her followers are not " really seeing " or " really

hearing " what She is telling them. She is telling them to " Go Within and Meet

the Mother, the Holy Spirit Within Their Temple " . Instead of listening to Her,

the masses of people have done exactly what they did to Jesus; they turned away

from the teachings and followed the 'rabbis'(teachers), 'fathers', and 'leaders'

who interpreted these teachings differently and guided differently...

inadvertently taking these people's attention away from their

Christ-Spirit-Within-Them.

 

Jesus spoke about these masses of people who would not or could not 'see' nor

'hear' His Message even though they sat right in front of Him and appeared to be

hearing and seeing what He said. The same could be said about the masses of

people who have been sitting and hearing and seeing Shri Mataji for all these

years too! Here is what Shri Jesus said:

 

" On that day Jesus went out of the house, and was sitting by the sea. And great

multitudes gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat down, and the

whole multitude was standing on the beach. And He spoke many things to them in

parables.

 

And the disciples came and said to Him, " Why do You speak to them in parables? "

And He answered and said to them:

 

" To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but

to them it has not been granted. For whoever has, to him shall more be given,

and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has

shall be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables; because

while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they

understand. And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which

says:

 

" You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; and you will keep on seeing,

but will not perceive; for the heart of this people has become dull, and with

their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes lest they should

see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart

and return, and I should heal them. "

 

But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what

you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. "

 

(Matthew 13:1-3; 10-17)
