If you are a Christian, become a better Christian. If you are a Buddhist, become a better Buddhist. If you are a Jew, become a better Jew. Meditational practices have nothing to do with religion.
A teacher like Christ serves so many purposes. He brings forth into the world that pure consciousness that brings about a balance.

The human being must experience what life is all about, and what Divinity is all about. Philosophy and discrimination cannot touch this experience: It is like explaining color to a person who is born blind. You cannot explain it.

Meditation is not, and never could be a form of escape from reality. Drug taking is an escape from reality. Meditation is a way to make you face reality. The efforts of drug taking and meditation are directly opposite. One forms dependence, the other forms independence. Now because the entire body and the mind, the […]

Man is not born to suffer. The human being is born to enjoy. It is our inherent right, for joy is within us. We are children of light. We are the manifestation of that eternal essence which can only be called love. As we go deeper through our meditational and spiritual practices, the movements of […]
