Merry Christmas

// December 23rd, 2006 // Leadership Development


“If those who lead you say, ‘See, the Kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.”

Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas, 3. Similarly expressed in Luke 17:21.

Wishing you the very best in this beautiful struggle. Merry Christmas.

Arthur

    Seeker: But what of this experience of bringing down the Divine from above into my heart?

    Ramana Maharshi: As if the Divine is not already in the Heart? “O Arjuna, I am in the expanse of the Heart,” says Sri Krishna. “He who is the sun, is also in this man,” says a mantra in the Upanishads. “The Kingdom of God is within,” says the Bible. All are thus agreed that God is within. So what is to be brought down`? From where? Who is to bring what, and why?
