Jesus Teaches Love For God As Goal Of Life







Christian, Muhammadan, Hindu-it doesn't matter. If he is simply speaking on behalf of God, he is a guru. Lord Jesus Christ, for instance. He canvassed people, saying, "Just try to love God." Anyone-it doesn't matter who-be he Hindu, Muslim, or Christian, is a guru if he convinces people to love God. That is the test. The guru never says, "I am God," or "I will make you God." The real guru says, "I am a servant of God, and I will make you a servant of God also." It doesn't matter how the guru is dressed or from what country he came from.  "Whoever can impart knowledge about the absolute truth and God is a spiritual master." A genuine spiritual master simply tries to get people to become devotees of God, devoid of false prestige. He has no other business. Because the real guru or teacher fully realizes that in order for a person to become real happy, peaceful and truly contented is by educating the person with his real identity, position and function. A bogus or fake spiritual master cheats other people, uses God for alterior motives, making people their own servants instead of servants of God. The first and foremost commandment of Jesus "Love God with all your heart, mind and entire being."


If a person becomes aware and knows that a man is suffering due to his forgetfulness of his eternal relationship with God then that is the beginning of spiritual life. Therefore, the highest benefit one can render to human society is to give awareness of our real identity, function and position, so an authorized spiritual master and true servant of God makes the miserable person aware of  the root cause of all his personal and social problems in life, that the material craving is just a manifestation of great spiritual emptiness, especially in spiritual knowledge. In such a way, a pure devotee is engaged in the loving service for the Lord.

Jesus Christ Is Not Hateful Of Sinners


 A devotee of God is friendly to everyone, always respectful even if others are not respectful, tolerant like a tree. Therefore it is said here that he has no enemy.

A true devotee and preacher of God’s love has a great compassion to the most fallen, to those who are with demoniac qualities. As Jesus Christ said, we should hate the sin, not the sinner. That is a very nice statement, because the sinner is under illusion. He is mad. If we hate him, how can we deliver him? Therefore, those who are advanced devotees, who are really servants of God, do not hate anyone. When Lord Jesus Christ was being crucified, he said, "My God, forgive them. They do not know what they do." This is the proper attitude of an advanced devotee. He understands that the conditioned souls who are heavily influenced by the modes of material nature like goodness, passion and ignorance cannot be hated, because they have become mad due to their materialistic way of thinking and the influence of illusion. In the consciousness of loving God , there is no question of hating anyone, you love and give respect to everyone even to an ant or cow knowing that we are all children, part and parcel of God. One This is just one of the essential things that a true Christian and anyone who is true lover of God does in pleasing God and as followers of Jesus Christ, the beloved son of God. Having real concern and compassion to everyone. One who has pure love for God automatically loves all the living entities even a single ant, even to the most fallen, even to the
most offensive.
