Today i feel so relieved that i did not participate in subtle system

SYs shoe-beating Deepak Chopra, who is in their black book of false

gurus. Despite being new to Sahaja Yoga i did not follow this herd

mentality that is typical of most SY collectives. Few SYs have the

independence of judgment to think for themselves. If a SY throws the

negativity of, say Deepak Chopra's existence, into the havan the rest

just follow and bleat his despicable name like sheep. Countless SY

havans have been initiated over the decades to rid the world of all

types of negativity, including Deepak Chopra.

 

My seven years in the SY collectives were the worst years of my life

and that of my family, and till today we still shudder at some of our

experiences. But the Devi that my children kept daily meeting between

1993-2007 more than compensated for all the abuse, and will be so for

the rest of our lives.

 

i did not ask the Adi Shakti about Deepak Chopra because in my heart

i knew he was a very special person. His books intrigued and inspired

me, and expanded my comprehension of consciousness, spirituality and

the Divine Mother. That was in the 1990's.

 

Today we have his masterpiece, " The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot

Ignore " . It has helped me a great deal to support the message of the

Comforter and Her teachings as well. But for the majority of subtle

system SYs he remains a false guru, an outcast writer to be shunned

at all times. Such is their poverty.

 

That is why is it advisable not to provoke them with The Third Jesus,

as the Savior has warned us:

 

" Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls

before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn

and tear you to pieces. " (Matthew 7:6)

 

Deepak Chopra has done far more to uphold and promote Jesus than the

entire SY organization combined ......... combined for the last three

decades! i am willing to chisel this truth in stone. As a firm

believer of all religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures i find these

words of Deepak Chopra so harmonious, enlightening and comforting.

 

" Christians want to feel that their religion is unique, which is

certainly achieved by claiming the one and only Son of God. But by

the same token, they risk being left out of the great human project,

which began centuries before Christ and continues to this day. This

is the project of transcending the physical world to reach the realm

of the soul. "

 

Yes, the sending of the Comforter, Shri Mataji, is the continuation

of " the project of transcending the physical world to reach the realm

of the soul. " For those of us taking part in the Resurrection we know

it is the culmination of the great human project; the collective and

harmonious triumph of all religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures; the

promised Blossom Time to evolve into the eternal spirit!

 

What Consciousness inspired Deepak Chopra to pen this priceless gem,

 

" This is the project of transcending the physical world to reach the

realm of the soul. "

 

the heart and soul of all religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures?

 

And we should all remember that Deepak Chopra was never a SY, but yet

exalted Jesus before the world. So who are these anti-Christ elements

in SY organization who have always condemned Deepak as a false guru?

And why do they refuse to uphold the Saviour, the Comforter and Her

message of the Resurrection? Why is that the anti-Christ negativity

has penetrated and firmly entrenched itself in the SY Church today,

just as it did when the Catholic Church established itself? And who

promotes Lord Jesus more - the SY or Catholic Church?

 

That is why is it advisable not to provoke SYs with Jesus, the

Comforter sent by Him, and Her message of the Resurrection, as the

Savior has warned us:

 

" Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls

before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn

and tear you to pieces. " (Matthew 7:6)

 

regards to all,

THE THIRD JESUS

by Deepak Chopra

Format: Paperback

ISBN: 9781846041112

Imprint: Rider

Released in March, 2008

Introduction

 

" Jesus Christ left behind a riddle that two thousand years of worship

haven't solved. The riddle can be stated in one sentence: Why are

Jesus's teachings impossible to live by? It would startle millions of

Christians to hear that this riddle exists. They try to live by

Jesus's words every day. They love, pray, show compassion, and

practice charity in his name. Yet these humane and worthy actions,

which reveal a good heart intent on serving God, do not fulfill

Jesus's deeper mandate.

 

What Jesus actually taught is much more radical and at the same time

mystical. When I was a child in India, I first heard about the Golden

Rule from the Christian brothers who had traveled from Ireland to run

our school. This basic tenet of Christianity, which comes from

Matthew 7:12, is simple enough to teach even to small children: Do

unto others as you would have them do unto you. So where is the

riddle? What could possibly be considered radical or mystical here?

 

Taken literally, the Golden Rule requires you to treat an enemy as an

equal, which means in essence that you can have no enemies. Jesus

didn't say, " Pick the easiest people and treat them nicely, just as

you'd like to be treated. " That might be the Gilded Rule, which

is what the Golden Rule became once people realized that Jesus's

teaching couldn't be reconciled with human nature. It's human nature

to love those who love us in return, not those who hate us. It's

human nature to fight back when attacked (this violates another

basic but impossible tenet of Jesus's: Resist not evil). But Jesus

makes no such allowances. Many of Jesus's most famous words defy

human nature in this way. Turn the other cheek. Love thy neighbor as

thyself.

 

If Jesus's words are too radical to live by, was that his intention?

Or have we misunderstood a spiritual teacher who seems to be so

clear, simple, and direct? I propose that both have occurred. Jesus

intended a completely new view of human nature, and unless you

transform yourself, you misunderstand what he had to say. You can

struggle your entire life to be a good Christian without succeeding

in doing what Jesus explicitly wanted. He wanted to inspire a world

reborn in God. This vision is breathtaking in its ambition. It

points us toward a mystical realm, the only place where human nature

can radically change. At the level of the soul we find out how to

love our neighbors as ourselves, we are able to remove the obstacles

that keep us from doing unto others as we would want them to do unto

us. Jesus's name for the realm of the soul is the Kingdom of God, and

he clearly intended for it to descend to earth. (On earth let it be

as it is in Heaven.) God was to replace Caesar as the ruler of human

affairs, and all the conditions that applied to material existence

would change. Jesus could not have been more direct when he said that

total transformation was near. This was perhaps the first and most

important message he wanted

 

to deliver: From the time Jesus began to preach, he said, " Repent,

for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. " (Matthew 4:17)

 

Yet Jesus failed to bring about God's rule on earth, and his radical

vision became compromised only a generation after his death, at the

same time that early Christianity was spreading with startling speed

and intensity. The disciples who had followed him knew without a

doubt that they had met someone of earthshaking significance. What the

disciples didn't talk about so fervently was the shadow side of their

new faith. They were struggling to live as Jesus wanted them to, and

in many respects they were failing. They fought for power among

themselves and squabbled over doctrine. They had doubts, and fears of

persecution. Jealousy and sexual desire made their ageold claims.

Such basic matters as whether to follow Peter or Paul as chief

spokesman for Jesus drove Christians apart.

 

The early Church was rife with disputes and conflicts, just like

every other faith that had come before. To emerge from this chaos, to

survive as followers of the Messiah, was a life-and-death challenge.

As a result, Christianity was forced to compromise Jesus's vision:

The alternative—a complete transformation of human nature—was proving

impossible. Those few who could achieve it became known as saints,

and they were far removed from the dirty, bustling world and its

corrupt ways.

 

In this book, I argue that Jesus's vision isn't impossible to

realize. Yes, it is radical and mystical. None of that has changed.

But the underlying dilemma—how to live as Jesus wanted us to—can be

resolved. In fact, it must be resolved if Jesus is to have any kind

of meaningful future. In order to find the answer to the Jesus

riddle, we must begin with radical surgery, cutting through the

timeworn Jesus that all of us know (even those, like me, who were not

raised in the Church). That traditional version of Jesus was

constructed as a compromise; it accepts the essential failure of

Christ's vision, so we must go beyond it. Jesus did not physically

descend from God's dwelling place above the clouds, nor did he

return to sit at the right hand of a literal throne. What made Jesus

the Son of God was the fact that he had achieved God-consciousness.

Jesus said as much, over and over, when he declared that " the Father

and I are one. " He knew no separation between his thoughts and

God's thoughts, his feelings and God's feelings, his actions and the

actions God wanted performed. I realize that I am quoting the most

basic of Jesus's words, but we have no choice but to start at the

beginning. " Radical " comes from the Latin word radix, or " root. "

Jesus the radical went to the root of the human condition, and his

approach to suffering was to eradicate it, literally to tear it out

by the root.

 

But my attachment to Jesus is more personal, too. It dates from my

childhood, when I heard Christian prayers at the Catholic school I

attended and Vedic chants at home. I was encouraged to respect every

faith, which wasn't a sterile duty but more like a festive delight.

In my circle of friends one could run over to a Christian house for

Christmas without feeling strange, just as we ran to a Muslim or

Parsi house for their feasts and holy observances. I grew up in the

early Fifties, and it would be naive to call that an innocent

time in India. Hundreds of thousands of Hindus and Muslims suffered

and died in the partition of India and Pakistan after liberation from

the British in 1947. As one of India's " children of midnight " (so

called because the modern nation of India was born at the stroke

of midnight, August 15, 1947), I lived on the cusp between idealism

and violence.

 

Now, sixty years later, the world is changing again, rapidly and with

tremendous confusion. In the ferment of change there resides an

opening for Jesus's radical vision to be renewed. Spirit, like water,

remains fresh only if it flows.

 

I have written what I think the New Testament actually means,

astonishing things stated in plain words. No one is an outsider who

wishes to make Jesus central to his or her spiritual path, and no one

should pay lip service to Jesus's words while guilt, pain, and

suffering continue to go unhealed. "
