| Very Important Reminders To Become Accepted Disciples 113.) Lord Reminded That, In Order To Become Accepted Disciples—Serious: Aspirants, Seekers And Disciples Must Achieve ""Fearlessness"". a.) LMW: Fearlessness And Selflessness Are Two Sides Of The Same One Coin. When Totally Selfless, One Becomes Fearless… (i) Unafraid of: death‡; or sacrificing one's impermanent personality selfishness; or bearing cosmic fire for God's Plan. (ii) “.. As long as you have attachment to the body and attachment to objects, fear and suffering will be with you.” * b.) Or in the words of Krishnamurti, “Beauty is not man made; it is not in the picture … nor in the cloud, the leaf or on the water. Beauty [LMW: Or Buddhi] is where there is order—a mind that is utterly unconfused, that is absolutely orderly. Order is virtue. […] Virtue is not a habit, it is not a thing that you practise day after day in order to be virtuous. Then it becomes mechanical, a routine, without meaning. But to be virtuous means, … to know what is disorder, the disorder which is this contradiction within ourselves, this tearing of various pleasures and desires and ambitions, greed, envy, fear, all that. Those are the causes of disorder within ourselves and outwardly.” |
| (ii) “… Not all the rich were advised to give away their wealth, for when the Teacher saw a right attitude toward earthly treasures, He did not indicate a need to renounce them. In interpreting the attitude of the Teacher toward earthly riches, it is important to know that He advised giving up possessions only when they were dragging down the spiritually weak ones. …” (Supermundane, 162.) (II) Proven Selfless: Sharing, Serving And Striving For The Greater Good Or God's Plan… Important Checklists To Regularly Review: One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six. (III) Will One Then Sequentially Achieve: ♦ Authentic Resurrection Of The Spirit; ♦♦ Full Union With Lord's Higher And Broader Consciousness; ♦♦♦ Eternal Liberation And Immortality— As Genuine Soul Salvation !!! |
| “And there can be order only when there is total self-denial, when the 'me' has no importance whatsoever. The end of the 'me' is part of meditation. …” (JK Public Talk 4 (1968) / Audio) c.) Or as Saint Paul of Tarsus said, I die daily. [ LMW: I die daily to my perishable self-centered personality—through daily self-forgetting labors for the greater good—that will lead to reunion with my immortal and sinless ""Spiritual Soul (or Sixth Higher Principle, or Christ Principle)"" ! ] ▲ ▲ ▲ 114.) LMW: Which is another way of saying, only through… (I) Authentic Renunciation of all impermanent earthly creations and things… (i) “.. It is not giving up your clothes, your wife, your husband, your children or your house, but inwardly not to be attached to anything. In that there is great beauty. After all, it is love, isn't it? “Love is not attachment. When there is attachment there is fear. And fear inevitably becomes authoritarian, possessive, oppressive, dominating. … “You know what it means to love somebody? When you love somebody you forget yourself, you are not, and love is. Where you are, love is not.” (JK Public Talk 1 (1980) / Audio) - - - ‡ We are not advising to senselessly or pointlessly sacrifice one's life—only the heart can judge when that is truly necessary for God's Plan / Greater Good. |
