Spirituality is beyond intellectual development

 

I generally say, "If you are a Christian, read the Bible; if you are a Hindu, you may read the Bhagavad Gita; if you are a Muslim you should read Koran," and through the meditation and teaching of Kriya Yoga you will understand your own scripture better. You will realize that what your "son of God" or "prophet" or any "master" is teaching is common to all, there is no difference. We all are children of God and we should perceive Godճ love. There is no difference in anything. So, it is best to avoid insisting, "read only this!" Read any scripture that you love. But, try not to read too much. Read a little, and, through meditation, apply what you read in your daily life. Application is more essential than reading, because spirituality is beyond intellectual development. You must have both theory and practice in the application of scripture in your daily life. That will help you to lead a life of love, purity, and truth.

Vona að það sé í lagi að ég birti þessar tilvitanir hér sem mér finnst spegla það sem stendur í blogginu þínu. Ég vill ekki þröngva neinu upp á neinn.

O SON OF DUST!
Verily I say unto thee: Of all men the most negligent is he that disputeth idly and seeketh to advance himself over his brother. Say, O brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

O CHILDREN OF MEN! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory.
