Maharaji on Love

The following is an excerpt from a Ram Dass lecture from Listening Heart, Relationships, & Appreciating the Beloved from the Summer of 1989. It is his response to a question from an audience member “What did Maharaji say about love?”

 

Maharaji on Christ:

“Christ said love all beings as children of God, serve them. Give everything to the poor, even your clothing. Give it all away. Jesus gave it all away including his body.”

How did Christ meditate, Maharaji? He was lost in love. He was one with all beings and he had great love for all in the world. He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout the world. He was one with God. He sacrificed his body for the dharma. He never died. He never died. He is atman living in the hearts of all. See all beings as the reflection of Christ.

Maharaji, what can I do to gain pure love for Ram? You will get pure love for Ram by the blessings of Christ. Hanuman and Christ are one. They are the same.

What is the best method of meditation? Do as Jesus did and see god in everyone. Take pity on all and love all as God. When Jesus was crucified he felt only love.

Maharaji, who are you? Everyone is a reflection of my face.

  1. How cool I read this quote today: “see god in everyone” when the exact same revelation came to me last night. I used to think there was something in this whole thing now I KNOW!

  2. Jesus said “I and the father (Jehovah God of the bible) are one (one in unity of power and essence) Jesus also said no one comes to the Father (heaven) except through me”.
    If there are many roads to heaven, then why did Jesus have to die? He should have just stayed in heaven and avoided this horrible sacrifice and we all could have found our own way. Truth is sin requires a blood sacrifice from a person who was sinless. The only person who was sinless was Jesus. That’s why he came to die. No other person on the planet had a sinless life. To put him equal with other teachers, prophets or little gods is absurd. That’s why Jesus is the only way to salvation becuase only him and no other person was sinless.

    • Yogananda said…its a sin to think your a sinner…and he loved jesus who was one with the universal son of god who dwells in all….the christ…our true eternal nature….JEsus would have us be nothing less or more than his brother….when we embody the christ love that he came to show then the scriptures will be fulfilled…it has little to do with sin and an external savior…jesus quoted the law of Moses ..ye are gods…all sons of the most high…michael

  3. Joseph you seem to have missed the message. A message that Jesus taught, that of Love … Love of all …why are you making this a contest?
