Sri Prem Baba
I understand that each Master comes to teach a certain group of souls within a context and an era. Jesus didn’t have a smartphone connected to wi-fi, he didn’t need to worry about the impact of the advances of artificial intelligence on society.
This technological context is something very much of our times, which brings new challenges for the human being not to lose sight of the goal of life, which is self-realization.
But, in common with today, Jesus lived in a scenario of socio-political transformations with which he was very much involved. At that time a Parivartan took place, different from what we are living today, but it was also a change of axis in the structure of world society. Our world today, in the midst of Parivartan, which is this intense planetary transformation we are going through, still deals with issues very similar to those of that time.
Master Jesus was perhaps the one who influenced the West the most in the last two thousand years. At the same time, his teachings were also distorted, and his name is still used today to justify violent attitudes that Jesus would never do. This man, this yogi, this avatar could plant the seed of a new era for humanity.
In a world based on ego and full of inequalities, he taught that true greatness lies in serving your neighbour with purpose. In a world full of injustice, violence, wars and tragedies, he taught compassion towards those who suffer. In an era when women did not even have the right to be in charge of their own lives, Jesus treated them with the truth of the power that they are. In a world of confusing relationships, he taught that forgiveness is like the oxygen of relationships, nurtured by humility. In a world of intolerance and exclusion, Jesus welcomed everyone in the same way, regardless of past mistakes.
Jesus came to free man from the slavery of matter, from the slavery of the senses, from the slavery of prejudice, from the slavery of current belief systems. He came to teach Yoga in Dharma, which is union with the supreme. He came to help humanity awaken. Our current context, despite the extra challenges brought by the technological revolution, is still as dysfunctional as it was in Jesus’ time. Just as in Jesus’ time, the Universe is currently leading us to be born again. May we apply this Master’s message so that humanity evolves spiritually even more than in the last millennia.
Namaste,
Prem Baba
