Jesus and John the Baptist
10
by Terry McGilloway
the difference between a statement of
truth and the pronouncement of a fact.
A just and truthful action always results
in good, whereas your statement of a fact,
which resulted in great harm to yourself and
to that man, was far from ultimate truth.
Why didnt you point in the wrong
direction in the forest and save yourself from
harm, and also save the mans life?
Even if you had committed the sin of
uttering a falsehood, that would have been
less sinful than the horrible sin of being an
instrument in the murder of an innocent man.
By your silence, you let him think that
you would protect him, and deprived him of
the opportunity of seeking another hiding
place unknown to you. Then, to save yourself,
you betrayed him.
Jama continued: Honored saint, know
that a truthful action always brings good
results, and is different from a statement of a
fact which may produce good or evil.
Always give preference to an action that
results in good.
To say, Hey, Mr. Lame Man, or, Hey,
Mr. Blind Man, to a lame man or a blind
man may be a statement of a fact, but it
would be untruthful because not conducive
to any good.
To say: Hello, Perfect One, or Hello,
IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY of a Yogi andother writings, Paramhansa Yogananda
reveals the identity of Jesus Christ in a past
life, and also of Jesus guru from that life. He
discloses how Jesus met his guru again in his
life as Jesus, but under unusual circumstances
in a kind of role reversal!
Yogananda tells us that in their past
lives, John the Baptist was the great
prophet Elijah and Jesus was his foremost
disciple, Elisha. He writes that by the time
of their respective incarnations as Jesus and
John, Jesus had attained Self-realization
whereas John did so only at the end of
that lifetime.
A lesson in divine fiendship
The lesson Yogananda shares is one of
divine friendship:
how the
disciple and
guru remain
in an eternal
bond of soul
helping soul.
This deeper
understanding
of Jesus life makes it clear that the Bible
itself discloses that the doctrine of reincarnation
was widely accepted by the Jewish
people of ancient times, and by Jesus as well.
Elijah and Elisha in the Old Testament
The explanation Yogananda gives is not
as difficult to discern from the Bible as it
might seem at first. Let us go back in time
through the pages of the Bible to Kings II,
Chapter 2.
It is a brief chapter, and we read here that
when Elijah the prophet became aware that
he was soon to leave his body, he offered
his disciple, Elisha, a boon, saying, in
effect, Ask what you want of me before I
leave you.
Elishas response shows the intensity of
his spiritual quest, for without missing a
beat, he responds, one imagines rather
eagerly, Let a double portion of thy spirit
be upon me!
The Guru grants a boon
Elijah withdraws into silence seeking
the divine sanction necessary to grant such
a request.
Receiving it, Elijah sets one condition:
Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless,
if thou see me when
I am taken from
thee, it shall be so
unto thee; but if not,
it shall not be so.
(Thereafter Elisha
doesnt let his guru
out of his sight!)
When Elijah leaves his body, the Bible
says that Elisha then took up Elijahs mantle,
which Yogananda explains was his
glory and his spiritual wealth.
Soon thereafter, when the rest of Elijahs
disciples saw Elisha, they could see that the
spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. 1
I will send you Elijah
Let us now move forward in time and in
scripture to the closing words of the Old
Testament by the prophet Malachi.
Strong Man, or Hello, Man of Spiritual
Vision may not be statements of fact, but
they are wholesome in their effect.
Therefore, they are the truth.
At the same time, remember that it is
not good to indulge in cheap lies. Suppose I
secretly saw you meditating in your room
and knocked on your door and inquired,
Mr. Saint, what were you doing?
If you replied: I was eating bananas,
you would have sacrificed my trust by lying
to be modest. If you had answered my question
with: Well, I was just a little busy, I
couldnt accuse you of lying nor could I
blame you for that evasion.
Honored saint, one should avoid cheap
prevarication for by this habit you lose the
trust of everyone. One may distort facts
only when it is a question of life and death,
and an unjustly accused person can be saved.
One should develop the habit of speaking
the truth without unnecessarily advertising
all ones secrets. For if you tell your
weaknesses to false friends, they will poke
fun at you whenever the occasion arises.
Concluding, the great Jama said, Avoid
repeating unpleasant facts. Always speak
and act in a way that will bring lasting happiness
to yourself and others.
from the Praecepta Lessons, 1935
The Eternal Bond of Guru and Disciple
Far right, Yogananda at age 16.
In their past lives, John the Baptist
was the great prophet Elijah and Jesus
was his foremost disciple, Elisha.

"2 You Must Desire That Above All Else
God Come First In Your Life pg 2
What is the way out? How can you make the most of your fleet years? Desire God above all else and be constant in that one desire. In this fixity of purpose, goodness will fill your life. In becoming fulfilled in your most central desire, many other important desires are often satisfied as well. Above all, if you do not put God and higher consciousness first, you will never be able to find them.
In entering the Master/Initiate relationship, fully understand that your main desire must be God. Be so dedicated you will never divert your mind and heart until God is truly established throughout your life as the Lord of all. (It should be noted here that the word "Lord" is not meant to limit those who seek to realize the Absolute or Nirvana. In this case, the seeker agrees that the Absolute, or Nirvana, gets the most priority and this focus is discussed with the Master.)
3 Obedience You, as an initiate, agree to obey the Master regarding: A) Your spiritual practices and other activities relating to your spiritual growth. (For example, your studies or your constancy in faith and good will.) Such instructions from your Master rarely intrude on your family life or career. If you have any questions about what you are expected to obey, talk with your Master before you seek initiation. B) Your character. Your Master must have your cooperation in helping you overcome character flaws or forget about higher consciousness. He must have the freedom to correct your inappropriate behavior if and when he sees fit. Remember, he loves you and has good will for you. The error in consciousness in back of the flaw he mentions is apparently very significant because he chooses to mention it. Its important you be appreciative and thankful for his corrections, although your ego may rise up against the whole process. Your ego and ignorance, after all, are the villains of this teamwork. Appreciative obedience is one of the most important qualifications. |

god comes first
1 Unconditional Love Unless the initiate and Master have unconditional love for one another, there will not be enough love in the relationship for the achievement of the initiates ultimate goals. Knowing this, you have to thoroughly consider whether you can strive to commit your love, unconditionally and totally, to your Master. While only a realized person can truly give unconditional love, you, a candidate for initiation, agree to try day in, day out with your very utmost, to practice unconditional love. In developing unconditional love for the Master, you become so changed and so giving that you are purified enough to receive the total and awesome love God and the Master have for you. Your giving becomes a great receiving. But unless you can love, you cannot be filled. The Master is not a god. He is a human being who has been so changed by the Lord that the Lord can use him as a servant, as your awakener. Thus, your Master, being human, will have flaws and personal likes and dislikes which an unloving initiate may condemn. Through ill will, an unloving devotee grows into an antagonist. If you wish to be a true and successful initiate, you determine, prior to initiation, that you are not going to aim any ill will at your good Master. Rather, you will be vigilant and careful that no ill will ever go out from your mind, heart, or words against your chosen source of transforming love. This yearning to be constant in love for God and the Master is the ideal of all true initiates.

God Come First In Your Life
While it is impossible for an aspirant to focus perfectly on God every day, your focus must become continual. Your ego or daily circumstances cannot ever be allowed to overtake or undermine the priority that God come first. Even when you fail to do this, you must pick yourself up and direct your life Godward once again.
In entering the Master/Initiate relationship, you must fully understand that you will never give up.
Divergent desires will flood your mind. Whichever desire preoccupies you usually dictates your mood and actions toward fulfillment of that desire. Perhaps yesterday you wanted a new career. Today, you feel you need a new car or different friends, perhaps great fame, or no, a mushroom pizza will do. For now. Your desires for others, your children, your colleagues, your countrymen, flood into your thoughts and emotions, too. Most people are a mass of desires each desire an anarchist dominating for a brief time. Because of the tremendous number of desires and their constant conflict you find it difficult to fulfill most of them. Possibly, you cannot accomplish even your most important desires due to the sabotage of other conflicting desires.

Framtíðarlandið mitt: Víkingur Heiðar Ólafsson |
Skrifað af Viðari Þorsteinssyni | |
12. Mar. 07 | |
Víkingur Heiðar Ólafsson píanóleikari hlaut verðlaun sem flytjandi ársins á síðustu afhendingu Íslensku tónlistarverðlaunanna. Hann stundar nú nám í píanóleik við hinn virta Juilliard tónlistarskóla í New York. Framtíðarlandinu lék hugur á að kynnast sýn þessa unga listamanns á Framtíðarlandið Ísland. Nafn: Víkingur Heiðar Ólafsson Fæðingarár: 1984 Framtíðarlandið mitt: Í framtíðarlandinu óttumst við ekki þögnina heldur föðmum hana. Óþörf orð eru ósögð látin. Fyrsta mínúta hverrar klukkustundar er þagnarmínúta. Þá sameinast allir í líkamlegri slökun og innhverfri hugleiðslu í leit að kyrrð og jafnvægi og snúa til baka í endurnýjuðum tengslum við sinn innsta kjarna. Við lifum í meðvitund um karma lögmálið elskum hvort annað skilyrðislaust og álítum það mest okkar eigin gæfu að fá að hjálpa öðrum. Við höfum fyrir löngu misst áhugann á stanslausum samanburði við aðra því við höfum séð hundrað milljón dæmi um fullkomið vanhæfi efnishyggjunnar að skapa okkur þá vængi sem við öll þráum. |
