#81 – Real Prayer is Meditation | Heart of Jesus – Ep. 11

What is real prayer, and what has that got to do with meditation? In fact, Jesus was meditating constantly; immersed in service to the Supreme Lord.  Today, we explore the concept of uncovering one’s love for the Supreme Lord and the process of cultivating it through meditation. We discuss the purpose of the religious processes; namely to enhance individuals' devotion to God, beyond sectarian differences. We also read from and expand upon Jesus’ famous ‘Lord's Prayer’: ‘Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be your name,your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’ (Matthew 6) Highlights: (1:50) Jesus was in constant meditation (7:40) A summary of Ashtanga, the eightfold mystic yoga process (18:49) Don’t pray as a show; but let it be your private communication with the Supreme Lord (28:06) I can’t make myself love God, but I can follow a process that uncovers that love (34:55) The Lord’s Prayer (44:13) If I don't forgive others, then I shouldn't expect God to forgive me Recorded on January 12, 2024. https://linktr.ee/breakingtrail
