Rays of One Light: Weekly Commentaries on the Bible and The Bhagavad Gita

On Palm Sunday, the throng joyfully acclaimed Jesus Christ as he entered Jerusalem, casting palm fronds before him and singing, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! The Lord bless the king of Israel!” (John 12:13)

Jesus Christ had told the people, “The son of man must be lifted up.” His reference — so we are told — was to the mode of his impending crucifixion. Some persons on that occasion had asked, “Who is this son of man?”

Whispers From Eternity

203. Save us from Religious Bigotry

Our One Father, we are traveling by many true paths to Thy one abode of Supreme Truth. Help us to understand that the diverse religions are all branches on Thy one tree of truth. Bless us, that we may enjoy the intuition-tested, ripe and luscious fruits of self-knowledge that hang from every branch of true scriptural teachings.

Thy temple is but one: Its name is Silence. In it we sing Thee a combined chorus of many religions. Teach us to chant together in harmony! May the combined expressions of our love for Thee make Thee break Thy silence and lift us up, as a Mother does Her children, onto Thy lap of universal understanding and immortality. Sing along with us to confirm Thy acceptance of our chants to Thee.

Paramhansa Yogananda

Inspiration from The Rays of One Light & The Beatitudes

“Who is this son of man?”

Blessed are they who seek attunement with Truth. They alone, of all human beings, shall find lasting fulfillment.

We will take these meaningful words into our meditation together for deep reflection and contemplation. But firstly, we will listen to some beautiful music by Swami Kriyananda “I Live Without Fear”
