Being a submissive servant of the Absolute Whole is really where the topmost happiness is at. And Jesus was a perfect example of that:

"During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the One who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission"

Today we reflect on the profound significance of recognizing our true spiritual nature and serving a higher power. We clarify the misconceptions surrounding being a servant and the true essence of serving God in loving devotion. And that is all encapsulated in the life and teachings of Lord Jesus Christos.

Are you real? Yes. And God is just as real as we are. And He has a real, eternal personality, just like us.

So what is God really like? 

The Song of Solomon, for example, gives us a detailed description of His eyes, limbs, hair, and mouth. He is described as “altogether lovely”, and our “beloved and friend”.

And if we accept His true, loving nature, we open ourselves up to a most wonderful connection and relationship.

Phew, so we’re done with Christmas. If you think you’re spiritually advanced, go spend a week with your family. So why all the anger and hard feelings that many experience? And how come 66% of us feel lonely during Christmas? 

As you’ll hear, there is a clear link between having a Merry Christmas and then having a Happy New Year. And that link is gratitude for the reason for the whole season, making Christmas a spiritual celebration instead of the peak of materialism.

Today we highlight the impact of disconnecting from spirituality and how it leads to loneliness and darkness. We need to focus on spiritual values and the teachings of Jesus; this will create genuine togetherness during Christmas.

Being thankful is absolutely essential to be happy and experience spiritual growth. As it says in the Bible, 

“Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”

Psalms 107:8-9

So why is thankfulness so powerful? And if I’m not very thankful, how do I move towards that? 

Today we discuss all about thankfulness. We reflect on the historical origins of Thanksgiving. We touch on the decline in societal appreciation for spiritual values and the exploitation of Native Americans. And you’ll learn about the interconnectedness of determination and thankfulness. 

"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving"

Colossians 4:2

When we surpass the illusions regarding our identity, we can experience that we are actually wonderful sparks of the Supreme Soul. We are spiritual, eternal beings, but we are also subordinate servants.

So what is the covering that makes us unable to reallize this deeply comforting truth in our lives? Is it possible that this covering is why we came to this material world in the first place?

Today we dive into the concept of false ego, illusion and misguidance, and we discuss how Jesus taught us to become free of all these coverings. We shed light on how Jesus emphasized the importance of loving God first before loving others, and how this love can be the guiding force in our lives.

“But we know that if the earthly tent, which is our house, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Indeed, in this house, we groan, longing to be in our heavenly house.” 2 Corinthians 5:1

Today we explore the distinction between the material and spiritual worlds. We delve into the concept of false ego and the eternal nature of the spiritual self, contrasting it with the temporary nature of material existence. 

Drawing from spiritual texts such as the Bhagavad-gita and the Holy Bible, we discuss the cyclical nature of the material creation process and the eternal, unchanging nature of the spiritual world. 

You’ll hear us discuss scientific theories such as the Big Bang and emphasice the importance of accepting spiritual truth. We highlight the concept of the spiritual world as our true home and discuss the idea of serving as a right hand man to God; just like Jesus showed, we are subordinate in relation to the Supreme.

Throughout the episode, we stress the importance of understanding and embracing the spiritual aspects of life over the material.

The essence of spiritual life is understanding that I am not made of flesh and blood. I am not my body; I am the spirit soul inside. The Bible makes this very clear in verses such as “though our outer body is decaying, yet our inner body is being renewed day by day” and “flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God”. 

Unfortunately, many times these verses are not fully appreciated and understood. Today we look closer at these verses in the light of the yoga wisdom. We explore our very essence and the purpose of it all; far beyond the physical body. We discuss the impact of materialism, the mistaken belief that "I am my body," and its consequences in society. 

You’ll also hear us address the conflicts arising from sectarian viewpoints (us versus them) and emphasize the true nature of religion as harmonizing and based on love. We touch upon our need for spiritual food and the perishable nature of the material body in contrast to our eternal spiritual essence.

Today we explore the essence of Christianity and what it truly means to be a Christian. Going to church every Sunday does not really make us religious, and being religious is not a denominational label or a cause for division. 

We are all children of the same Father, and acting upon that fact is rather what makes a person religious. As you’ll hear us discuss, Jesus didn't try to convert anyone but just spoke the truth to anyone who would listen. 

Following in his footsteps, we explore the reality that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and discuss the true understanding of religion as knowing, loving, and serving God.

Maybe you see yourself as a Christian, but struggle to find satisfying answers to your doubts? Or maybe you’re curious on understanding the concept of God and religion through a non-sectarian perspective?

In our new podcast series “The Heart of Jesus”, we help those whose hearts are ready to get a deeper understanding of Jesus’ life and teachings. As Jesus himself put it, “I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand.” (John 16-12)

Through study of both the Bible and Yoga texts, we debunk the many misunderstandings about who Jesus was and why he came. We explain Biblical texts from the yoga perspective and discuss questions such as “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, and “What is a real Christian?”

As you’ll hear, the core message of Jesus was love for the Supreme and love for others; the same message that all great spiritual teachers have been teaching since time immemorial. Welcome to come closer to the heart of Jesus.

He is probably the most known person in the world. We hear a lot about his death, but know little about his life and what he actually taught. Some say he was a Christian, others that he was a yogi. Some claim he was God, others that he was a lover of God. And some even see his life as mere fairy tales.

Who was Jesus? And what was the heart of his teachings? 

We explore the many misconceptions surrounding Jesus’ life and teachings and reflect upon the commercialization of Christmas and the overshadowing of its spiritual significance. You’ll get an insight into Jesus's humble beginnings, his inclinations toward spiritual matters from a young age, and the importance of glorifying the Supreme Father - not Jesus by himself. We discuss Jesus' focus on the kingdom of God and how he challenged people’s attachment to material wealth. 

Jesus’ message was love, humility, and service to God–values that we all need more of in our lives. Regardless of our age, nationality, or religion.

This is the first episode of our new series ‘The Heart of Jesus’ that we will publish at least until Christmas.
