Summary

The Sermon on the Mount represents the essence of both Christ's teachings and the teachings of Vedanta, an ancient Indian philosophy that teaches the oneness of life. God lies within us and at the same time is everything we see.

This realization is the aim of all the Vedanta teachings. Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "The kingdom of God is within you." "Be ye perfect."

Although theologians are apt to explain away these teachings in various ways, the Vedantists believe Christ meant what he said. Listen to this remarkable recording and discover how Vedanta goes to the very heart of Christ's teaching.Vedanta came to the West in the late 19th century, not to supplant any religion, but to bring a more tangible spirituality to those who seek it. Its goal has never been to proselytize, but to help man realize the divinity within him.

Great narration

A really good narrator once you get used to him - very regal, I’d happily listen to him narrate Lord of the Rings or some such. So don’t be put off by sample.
Helpful comparison essays between Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity, focusing on Christ’s teachings. Written in 1963 and still holds up, but worth saying this is pre-A Course in Miracles (that didn’t appear till 70s) so it is still traditional and less New Age. Some comments on sexuality I’m not sure about, but could be my ego coming in. Lots of useful insights and advice for living Jesus’ teachings and also those of other Prophets. A quick listen also, I finished in one sitting and have bought the hard copy so I can highlight some bits I found most useful (such as the parts about yoga practice and yogic teachings).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
