Week 42: First Things First
Our Reading and Affirmation For October
What is it to Make Peace?
Stanza 7
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
From the book
The Beatitudes: Their Inner Meaning by Swami Kriyananda
Rays of One Light: Weekly Commentaries on the
Bible and The Bhagavad Gita
by Swami Kriyananda
One of the greatest sayings of Jesus Christ was this simple sentence, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, Chapter 6:
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
As the Bhagavad Gita puts it in the ninth Chapter
Those who worship lesser gods go to their gods . . . but those who worship Me come to Me.
Week 42: First Things First
What inspired me from this week’s reading from the Rays of One Light to share with everyone was…
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
“Those who worship lesser gods go to their gods . . . but those who worship Me come to Me”.
We will take these words from Jesus and the Bhagavad Gita into our meditation together for reflection. But firstly we will listen to
“Desire My Great Enemy”
by Paramhansa Yogananda.
Desire My Great Enemy by Paramhansa Yogananda
Let’s Reflect on
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
“Those who worship lesser gods go to their gods . . . but those who worship Me come to Me”.
