We have made great strides over the last two years and i continue to receive emails that reflect the success of this approach. The latest states:Dear Jagbir,Many thanks for ur pearls of wisdom.Love and regards,C........i will continue to use contributions towards advancing the core message of Shri Mataji - Self-realization and Her Blossom Time.regards,jagbiradishakti_sahaja_ yoga@ .com, "Violet" <violetubb@. ..> wrote:>> The Baptism of Jesus - Part 12> > Scientific meditation> lifts the practice of> religion beyond> intellectual theory> > (p.121) Churches today have digressed from the path of Self-realization, personal experience of God and Christ. Congregations are generally satisfied with sermons, ceremonies, organizations, and festive socials. The complete revival and restoration of Christ-ianity can be effected only by less emphasis on theoretical sermons with their oft-repeated platitudes, and on external emotion-rousing, psycho-physical ceremonies, and by substituting instead quiet meditation and real inner communion. Rather than being passive members of a church, satisfied merely with listening to sermons, worshipers should engage more in the effort to cultivate perfect stillness in both body and mind. The peace of absolute physical and mental stillness is the real temple wherein God most often visits His devotees. "Be still, and know that I am God." [1]> > The word "straight" also signifies following the straight path of truth, through which alone the soul can reach God. (p.122) It is very difficult to choose the right course amid the varied religious opinions. John declared to the people the straight path out of their ignorance, and exhorted them to follow it to receive the teachings of Jesus in attaining Christ Consciousness. People who wander from church to church seeking intellectual satisfaction seldom find God, for intellectual nourishment is necessary only to inspire one to "drink" God. When the intellect forgets to actually taste God, it is a detriment to Self-realization. Spiritual truth and wisdom are found not in any words of a priest or preacher, but in the "wilderness" of inner silence. The Sanskrit scriptures say: "There are many sages with their scriptural and spiritual interpretations, apparently contradictory, but the real secret of religions is hidden in a cave." [2] True religion lies within oneself, in the cave of stillness, in the cave of calm intuitive wisdom, in the cave of the spiritual eye. By concentrating on the point between the eyebrows and delving into the depths of quiet in the luminous spiritual eye, one can find answers to all religious queries of the heart. "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost...shall teach you all things" (John 14:26).> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
