Many people have been tempted to find out if
various types of Religions can actually be practiced together. In
other words, many people think that some of the practices that are
involved in Christianity and Yoga can be the same practice. Others
are not sure that these various Religious practices are in fact the
same, therefore, some people must have a fight with others and
eventually there are even wars, killings of people, and the most
unbelievable amount of animosity against people who are not like
you. These attitudes end up being Xenophobia in today’s world.
If you try to practice meditation as a Christian
you might sit and contemplate Jesus. If you try to practice
meditation as a Hindu, you might sit and contemplate Krishna. Both
Jesus and Krishna were called "Avatars" by their own religion. Thus
the technique "looks" the same. However, these methods cannot lead
to the same goal. Here is why, (1) Two different people were
practicing them, so they cannot reach the same goal. (2) Two
different "Avatars" were contemplated in meditation and each person
may have connected up with their appropriate "Avatar." And if they
did connect up through meditation, the Avatar might have given them
silent instructions, who knows what those instructions are. (3)
Those who say that everything on the spiritual path leads to the
same goal have been swindled by something to say such things.
"I
love you," is part of a wonderful thought that we can be loving.
If all spiritual paths lead to "toleration of others," then they
would at least have that in common.
Let us call the mantra "I love you," a form of
Siddha Yoga Jesus One. It will be a Siddhi (or mental power) if you
repeat it mentally each time you see someone. It is a type of Yoga
because it must be practiced to be understood and realized. Love is
recommended by Jesus. It is simple, so I say that it gives
realization One, instead of One hundred of them. Thus you have a
technique. Siddha Yoga Jesus One, you can practice it.
Practice it by mentally repeating "I love you" when you see someone.
Eventually you will have practiced this enough.
