The message of the resurrection

Resurrection is victory over the mind, over your thought mechanism, victory over your thinking, so that daily not a single thought pollutes your aura or channels an evil force to the world. It is easy to hold your mouth, it is easy to hold your hand, it is easy to control your body, but can you control your thinking? Can you keep that thinking pure, really pure? Resurrection means to achieve the primordial, the essential state of your consciousness, of your beingness. When we become pure selves, we achieve resurrection.

This resurrection takes effort, takes energy, takes dedication, takes tremendous labor so that eventually you are not trapped within your body, urges, and drives, within your emotions, your negative emotions, within your irritations and fears, within your wrong thoughts. When you conquer your physical, emotional, and mental bodies, you conquer the grave. These three bodies are called, in the Ageless Wisdom, the grave in which man is buried. One day, people will come and find the grave empty, and the Lord standing in the garden. He is resurrected. He is resurrected out of the grave, the tomb that He was imprisoned. That is the message of the resurrection. We can listen to lots of lectures, read lots of books, and sing many, many songs, but resurrection is really heavy, heavy work. And the first step for resurrection is meditation.
