Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone; namaste:

We are now on paragraph 2 in Chapter 3 of the first letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."  (page 72):

"Who do you think Jesus is anyway? Or Buddha? Or Krishna?  Servant leaders, all of them.  All great spiritual leaders are actually your servants who wait on you until you gradually become Self-realized.  The seed of Self-realization is already within you, but they help you to nurture it and grow it into the beautiful flower and fruit of your real Self.  The God-Self within you is your real self.  The watering and care-taking from the outside are just menial tasks at minimum wage, but what makes them worth doing is the God we are serving.  You happen to be God's field in which we are working."

Commentary:  The great spiritual leaders that we know of have come to teach us about the meaning of life and how we need to live our lives in order to maximize our experiences on earth. They have come not to exalt themselves, but to serve other people out of their great love for God in everyone. Some of the followers of the great teachers may argue about which one is the greatest or truest, but the teachers themselves did not come for personal glory, and they don't want to be idols that get in the way of true God perception.  They can best be described as humble servants who want people to experience the bliss of God for themselves.
