Day 36

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
To receive Christ is not accomplished through church membership, nor outer ritual of acknowledging Jesus as one's savior but never knowing him in reality by contacting him in meditation.  To know Christ signifies to close the eye, expand the consciousness and so deepen the concentration that through the inner light of soul intuition one partakes of the same consciousness that Jesus had. Saint John and other advanced disciples of Jesus who truly"received him" felt him as the Christ Consciousness present in every speck of space. A true Christian - Christ one - is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body and unites it with the Christ Intelligence pervading all creation. 


INTERFAITH PRAYER OF THE DAY
Beloved, Inmost Heart of every heart,
do not Let our human hearts be broken
by our merely mortal suffering here-
but Make our mortal human hearts break-Free
to an unconditional love of You,
that we may, Thus, love all living beings
with Love's own True, and Truly broken, Heart.
(A Prayer To The Heart Of Reality, Proposed By The Divine World-Teacher,
Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Love-Ananda Samraj, For Non-Sectarian Use By All Of Mankind)

EDGAR CAYCE DAILY READING
Think on This...
First-know as to what are the purposes, the desires, the hopes. There are in the present the problems that are a part of the experience, but take things, conditions and circumstances where they are-not merely where you wishfully think, hope or desire that they are!

SAINT OF THE DAY
Paramahansa Yogananda 
(1893–1952) is considered one of the preeminent spiritual figures of modern times.


Author of the best-selling spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, this beloved world teacher came to America in 1920 from his native India, and was the first great master of yoga to live and teach in the West for an extended period (more than 30 years). He is now widely recognized as the Father of Yoga in the West. He founded Self-Realization Fellowship (1920) and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (1917), which continue to carry on his spiritual legacy worldwide under the leadership of Sri Mrinalini Mata, one of his closest disciples.
