MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

The words of Jesus Christ are life changing and timeless. When Jesus spoke, lives were transformed and the trajectory of life forever altered. His words have remarkable power;-- Jesus Quotes 1-Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” 2-There’s no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.” – 3-“Here’s a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.” 4-“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule.” 5-“For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?” 6-For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. 7-''Whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 8-''Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” 9-''So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.'' ''But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust''. Jesus Christ TWO KINDS OF BHAKTI;- Bhakti is of two kinds- 1-APARA BHAKTI;- Apara bhakti (a lower type of devotion);- Ringing bells and waving lights is apara bhakti. A devotee who practises this has no expanded heart, is a sectarian and dislikes other kinds of bhaktas who worship other deities.Apara bhakti is further divided In;- A- VYABHICARINI BHAKTI (Insincere );- In vyabhicarini (insincere) bhakti the devotee worships God for some time-then he worships his wife, children and property for some time. B-SAKAMYA BHAKTI (Desire motivated);- In sakamya bhakti (desire motivated) the bhakta worships God for the sake of getting riches, for getting a son, or for the removal of suffering from a disease. 2-PARA BHAKTI;- Para bhakti (supreme love);In para bhakti, there is no ritualistic worship, the devotee is absorbed in God. In supreme love the devotee forgets himself entirely; he only thinks thoughts of God. Para bhakti and jnana are one. In the end the two become one. A-SINCERE BHAKTI;- Para bhakti is the Sincere bhakti ( avyabhicarini ). To love God and God alone is Sincere bhakti . SO SINCERE BHAKTAS CELEBRATE ALL FESTIVALS..MERRY CHRISTMAS .....SHIVOHAM...
