Jesus

Dear All,

The above lines might have appeared in the context of one particular situation in Bible / Holy book of christians.

But as you all would have realized by now, any quote of any Master or any incarnation is explained in this post at a level which does not touch any religion and is often beyond all religions.

So, the exposition of most of the quotes would be valid for all beings, of all religions, if they are contemplated internally and intensely.

What has been given as "Name of the Lord" is explained as "Namasmarana" in another religion, but the essence remains the same.

Bhagawan Baba has taken Namasmarana as a Yoga at par with Karma, Jnana, Bhakti, Raja and Ashtanga yogas and has given the name for Namasmarana as "Chitta Shuddhi Yoga", which clears your heart, your mind and all the impressions stored in your mind for several births and renders you clean and pure, worthy enough to offer yourself to Lord.

Constant remembrance of Lord's name is something which is possible 24/7, under all circumstances, in all situations, in all environment, anywhere and everywhere!

It is explained as strong tower in the sense, constant remembrance of name of God protects you from all  the attacks of worldly desires, worldly attachments, worldly impressions, all hatred, all fear, all greed, all delusions. 

And... YOU ARE  SAFE on reaching/taking recourse to this yoga of Namasmarana and thus remain safe from the attacks of all devils as described above.

Love.

Jesus

Dear All,

The initial 2 lines echo Saint Chinmaya's quote where the saint says, even if you slip, even if you fail in your (spiritual) life, do not be afraid, do not get demoralized. Each failure teaches you something very important in your life.

The second part is echoed in the author's spontaneous writing on Buddha's post which he sent to all Muscateers yesterday. The relevant portion of Buddha's post is reproduced below.

The portion given below is as though the response of the devotee to Lord Jesus's assertion that "Lord is one, He goes with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you".

The devotee listens to Jesus's gospel and responds with tears thus:-

"What ever I am, I am Yours. You say You are love and You have told us to live in love. If I have to practice the same, then how can the love not cover myself also? I may be a sinner, I may not be succeeding in progressing towards You, but who else but You can give me the strength to reach You?? 

Mujhe Shakti do, with that strength, let me immerse in devotion / love for which, mujhe Bhakti do and  after I reach the last but one stage in my Bhakti, give me Your hand and help me cross the last step, Mukti do, to whom can I pray for all these, who has all these things to give but You, O Sai Shiva!!!"

This crying out to Lord is natural and spontaneous because:-

1.  The devotee by himself is not able to evolve in the spiritual path. He is weak, slave to his worldly attachments, existing  like a sheep, though he is Lion, in essence.
2. When the devotee searches for support, for someone to hold his hands/carry him on his shoulders and take him to the abode of peace, Prashanti,  the devotee looks at the Lord, call him Jesus or Allah or Ishwar or Sai.
3.  Looking at Sai, the devotee recollects Sai's words "........sambhavami yuge yuge"
4. Thus, the devotee knows that Here is the Lord who has been coming again and again in various forms from time to time for the protection of virtuous. 
5. Since the Lord has come, gone and come back again and again and now, after 24/4/2011 has gone once more to His abode, the devotee gets an assurance within and cries out, who else but You can know the path to the ultimate abode (liberation) as coming and going from/to that place is Your hobby. So, who else but You can carry me through and reach me safely to the BRINDAVAN  of divine beauty, the garden of liberation, from this BHAVA SAGAR of samsara with only pain?

So, the devotee cries from the bottom of His heart, O Bhakta vatsala, Prana Sakha, I know You can never forsake me, please carry me, please give me the strength, mujhe Shakti do!

The feeling of the devotee is same, whether he is a hindu or a christian or a muslim or of any other religion because, GOD IS ONE!

"Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti"

(THAT  which exists is One: sages call it by various names)

Love.
