Merry Christmas from Prajnanananda

 

Merry Christmas (2004)

 

 My loving divine children of God,On this special day I am thinking of you and praying for you all. Jesus Christ was born to Mother Mary. She was a virgin which symbolizes absolute purity. Inner purification can give birth to the child of consciousness, which is Christ consciousness. We practice various types of spiritual disciplines only for inner purification. Let us not forget that every moment we need this inner purity.

When we live in the present moment we live in consciousness. When we live in the past and in the future we live with the mind. Inner purity can make your journey go from the mind towards consciousness. Life is a continuous journey from mind to consciousness. In this journey you will find the treasure of love. The real purpose of life is to live with love consciously. Let us contemplate Lord Jesus’ saying that we are to “love thy neighbor.” What does this really means? The neighbor is not just a person living next door. Anything next to you is your neighbor. The real meaning is to love all. Loving all means loving God.

Let us not forget that our life is not our life — it is the life of God. We do not know when we have to leave this world. In this short span of life let us live with love and to receive the love of God.

On this holy day of Christmas I am praying for you all. If you have a little love for me then please meditate a little more.

With all my love and oneness… a child of God
