Episode notes

There's a complete misunderstanding of enlightenment. Enlightened person can have no contempt for anybody. How do you know that you are depending on God internally? So externally if you depend on God, that's a test. When you depend entirely on God for your external needs, then you can be sure. Otherwise you might be cheating yourself inside. Om Shanteshante, Hare Heo, Shri Ramakrishna, Guru Pardhamasthu. We pray to Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. Blessings for a wonderful festive season and for a wonderful new year.

"Do not pray for the fulfillment of your wishes, for they may not accord with the will of God. But pray as you have been taught, saying: Thy will be done in me (cf. Luke 22:42). Always entreat Him in this way - that His will be done. For He desires what is good and profitable for you, whereas you do not always ask for this." - Evagrius Ponticus. Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on Evagrius's teachings on prayer.
