Synopsis

Jesus, the Christ, in the Light of Spiritual Science Volume 1 In his writings and teachings, Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind has made immense contributions toward an integral psychology, philosophy, and scientific approach to religion. Finding God is the most profitable discovery; only in God is man truly himself. If Heaven is not within, there is no Heaven. The human mind is the place where everyone has to live, and it is within this human mind that everyone has to find his only opportunity for peace, happiness and wholeness. Division between the mind's different units is destructive and disruptive of harmony, health, and happiness. As Dr. Thind wrote, "For the human mind and its ills there is no cure, only palliatives, except one-that the mind be made whole. Only the unified mind can see things whole and see them all the time." That which raises man above the beast and his ego-centeredness, however altruistically inclined, is neither the church nor scriptures, dogmas, and rites, nor any or all defunct founders of "religions," neither the cudgel for the beast nor the cautioned restraint of the mentally matured, though all are necessary in their respective places. Rather, that which raises man to wholeness is the inward five-melodied music of the everlasting word of God, the Holy Nam-the Punch Shabad. Each individual is unique, distinct, different, and divine. Nothing can save him the hardships of his own self-development. We are sub-humans until we face facts and catch them alive; meet them, greet them, and beat them, and grow through them into the Godlike stature of our souls. Only them can we become "Pillars of Powers" as we work with Chardhi-Kala of the Nam-the power of horizontal self-transcendence.

Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind was born in the state of Punjab, India, in 1892 and educated at Khalsa College in Amritsar. His early teachers were the Sikh pundits of his community, especially his father, Sardar Boota Singh Thind, whose living example and spiritual teachings left an indelible blueprint to the knowledge of God, and whose legacy Dr. Thind spent a lifetime fulfilling. He became inspired to visit the United States to fulfill his destiny as a spiritual teacher upon reading the works of Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau.Dr. Thind arrived in America in 1912, and spent the rest of his life lecturing throughout the United States and publishing nearly a dozen books, including The Radiant Road to Reality, The Pearl of Greatest Price, The House of Happiness, and many others, reaching an audience of at least five million and initiating thousands of disciples into the Inner Life.He also served in World War 1, worked actively in India's independence movement, and assisted many Indian students in completing their education in the U.S.Dr. Thind left his mortal body willingly in 1967, survived by his wife, Vivian and his children, David and Rosalind, but his teachings to continue to make a significant contribution toward a scientific approach to religion. It has been said of him, “He was a man of indomitable will, invincible spirit and unshakable faith; a knower of God, who lived the life of truth and Divine Purpose, giving these principles first place above all else in his life.”

Synopsis:

This is the Volume One in a three volume series, which was written for all who have freed themselves of orthodox religious thinking and for those who are ready to do so. The books serve as a springboard to greater spiritual heights, wherein we appreciate more than ever the message of Sat Gurus, the Saviours, the Avatars, and the Christs, of whom Jesus Christ was one. Dr Thind analyses the teachings of this Saviour of the western world and compares them with the teachings of all the great religions.
