On Sunday I am NOT going out of town, so the Neo Christos [livecast] will be done on Sunday,
on FaceBook.com/PillaiCenter at 11am EDT New York time zone
There is a reason for everything that is happening.
I will constantly yell at people around me for not paying attention and tell them that
the reason why they are not succeeding is that they don"t pay attention.
Well, that is relevant for the topic that I am going to give on Saturday and actually
the message came to me from Jesus today.
And I will wait until Saturday to give that message.
The context was — I was just reading the Bible and you know the story of Lazarus.
When Lazarus died and then Jesus visited that place and Lazarus" sister, when Jesus arrived
said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
And I am skipping a lot of passages here.
Deeply moved, once more Jesus went to the tomb. "Take the stone away," Jesus ordered.
Martha, the dead man's sister, answered, "There will be a bad smell, Lord.
He has been buried four (4) days."
Jesus said to her, "Didn"t I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believed."
Okay.
Belief is everything.
They took the stone away.
Jesus looked up and said, "I thank you, Father, that you listened to me."
"I know that you always listen to me."
"But I say this because of the people here so they will believe that you sent me."
"They have to see the miracles."
Even after seeing the miracles, the people did not believe.
The message as I was reading this passage -- Jesus gave me personal message — He
said that how he deeply loved those people who believe in Him.
I gave the statistics in the Sunday’s webcast on Neo Christos.
A large, large amount – I don’t know the statistics now. And about 40% of people, church
goers are on the verge of poverty.
Why?
What has gone wrong?
Again, people did not believe at that time.
And people did not — how can they believe, 2,000 years later, when Jesus is not even
living now.
It doesn’t mean that you cannot revive their belief.
It has to be understood fully in the context.
And you have to understand what belief is, first of all.
So, I will do that on Saturday.
And people have been wondering why I would be so involved in Jesus Christ.
And many people have raised the question, “What is my position?”
My position is — I was born Hindu and I practice it too.
And I practice a number of other techniques from other intellectual religious traditions
beyond Hinduism.
My position is really the position of Einstein, who respected religion and who said, "Where
science ends, there religion begins."
But he saw the defects of both religion and science.
He said, "Religion is blind without science; and science without religion is lame.”
So, you have to bring science and religion together.
And that is my position.
What about conversion?
That is a personal choice everybody makes.
And what is important is [points to heart] — conviction here, God is here.
The Kingdom is within.
And that’s the most important thing.
So, I look forward to talk to you on SUNDAY on FACEBOOK Live July 2, 2017
God Bless.
