‡‡  Even worse are those heads and representatives of religions who
knowingly and purposely spread: evilly distorted and
false teachings.
Difficult & Strict Requirements Of
Discipleship (versus) easy &
permissive church membership


105.)  
Since several centuries ago until
these last of days
almost all organized
religious establishments
‡‡ have been
misguiding, misleading and keeping
their believers, devotees and
worshippers
away from the true
teachings of their respective God
messengers and prophets
.

a.)  
Organized churches, for example,
frequently tell seekers that all it takes for
them to be "saved"
is to:

 Believe in Jesus.

 Donate their money and property
to the church.


b.)  
Another problem is that: a lot of those
who believe that Christ will return to save
only
Christian believers at the End Time…

 Are only praying and asking for
what they want from Christ and God.

 While doing nothing for Humanity,
Christ and God
.

Only to end up: with disappointment,
dying and departing
!
106.)  As an Ascended Master once said,
ask not what you want from Lord—
Ask What You Can Do And Sacrifice
For Lord! *


(i)  LMW: Those who only pray for self-
benefits
without ever asking what
they can do for Humanity, Lord's
Mission or God's Plan
cannot draw
the Lord's Attention and
Helping Hand
— because they are
still selfish!



107.)  
As Lord Reminded,

I.  One who wholeheartedly gives and
shares to neediest and unfortunate
ones…


(
i)  [Out of goodwill; not with an
expectation of reward or personal gain
°°;]

(
ii)  Will succeed in drawing Lord's
Attention [
invoke Him to Respond]!


II.  Those who take upon themselves a
portion of His Work
are closest to Him.


*  Which inspired one of JFK's popular speeches.
**  To also clarify #331 in Agni Yoga, The Call.
(  °°  “If you have an eye on the fruits of your actions, you are
liable to be affected by worry, anxiety, and restlessness.

The question may arise: if the fruits have to be given up,
how can one manage to live?
 But why this weakness of heart,
this nervousness? He [Lord] who has assured you, saying, "I will
care for your well-being," will certainly look after that. He will give
the means and the wherewithal.
All you have to consider is:
which is more important: a happy life or liberation from
the circle of life and death?
 Happy living is of only short
duration
; the joy of liberation is eternal, unshakeable.

“… Many have said that the giving up of fruit is advised because
there is no right or authority for the doer to desire the fruit
**.
This is a great blunder.  
The Lord has said"refuse the fruit"
that is to say, the deed yields results, but the doer should
not desire the result, or do it with the result in view
.  If His
intention was to say that the doer has no right to the fruit, He
would have said,
"It is fruitless."  So if you desist from action
(karma), you will be transgressing the Lord’s command. That would
be a serious mistake.”
 (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Gita Vahini, Ch. 5)  )
