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
As Jesus put it,
“ God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
In the twelfth Chapter of the Gita, Arjuna asks:
“Those who, ever steadfast, worship Thee as devotees [that is to say, in an “I” and “Thou” relationship], and those who contemplate Thee as the immortal, unmanifested Spirit— which group is the better versed in yoga?”
The blessed Lord replied: “Those who, fixing their minds on Me, adore Me, ever united to Me through supreme devotion, are in My eyes the perfect knowers of yoga. . . . “Those whose strict aim is union with the Unmanifested choose a more difficult way; arduous for embodied beings is the path of dedication to the Absolute”—the path, that is to say, of Gyana Yoga.
