5/6 "Can a rich man enter the kingdom of God?" Maharishi and Muggeridge

http://www.tm.org Maharishi is asked whether a rich man can enter the kingdom of God by Malcolm Muggeridge.

Transcendental Meditation

Muggeridge: What sort of people are they?

Maharishi: All sorts of very responsible men in society. Because those who want to progress more in the world, it is they who need the encourage to the source of their energy and intelligence.

Muggeridge: When you say progress more... Progress, let me tell you, is a word that I shy from like a frightened horse because I hate the idea of progress.

Maharishi: No, the thing is, progress these days results in stress and strain just because man does not incorporate in his activity the inner essence of life... (Transcendental Meditation)

...Muggeridge: The founder of the Christian religion clearly said that it was extremely difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven (God).

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the founder of Maharishi University of Management.

@m2frogger That t´´rich man Jesus spoke about, is one who worships his money! He loves his money! But if we seek first Gods kingdom, we understand the everything added is just a tool!

yes, the misunderstanding Muggerridge mentions is very common. and was responsible for the demise of prosperity in India. Maharishi's clarification is highly important. otherwise the world is full of spiritual people, but starving, without proper housing, etc. No one wants that. Our Almighty Father is ALL abundance. Yesterday was the day of prosperity: Festival of Lights. = Abundance for all, both spiritual and material. Both. Religion became unpopular by promoting suffering.

Richard: what a phoney, the inner and the outer , if detachmnet isn't manifest in the outer ;life than where are we we are as Christ said of the pharisees like white washed tombs, clever but already dead!

Inner transformation yes then outwardly manifest , poverty is seen in a persons lack or ability to do without having no desire for

please see Eric Fromm to have or to be

For it is written..."A rich man cannot enter the kingdom of my father, for it would be more easy for someone to push a camel through a needle head." -Jesus Christ.

Here point is so clear. It does not matter how much money you want or have because that is only your role to play, but inner feeling of all of it which you gain from going to source of your own thoughts makes you to play it not so much saturated with it. So, if you would put that in practice you will create peace and prosperity with your inner beauty (goal of the whole Philosophy) as well would be reached that way. Not to mention Sociology.

[divedeepinside]

with other words does NOT matter how much U have If you meditate and do TM inosent and act , regularly U 'l get to the goal.

[sunilnoronha]

There is a core cause here that one must consider is that one may desire something but will he get it.He must look to to the design of life itself before settling on the wisest answer around because the answers must suit the design of this life. If the Maharishi made this life that would be a right. If he is speaking not of his own wisdom but of wisdom that exists then we must look to the source of the wisdom and not the man that speaks it for the source is surely more authentic if real at all

"we want pease but not at the cost of progress and life" this is what I ve been puzzeled with for long time! the Vedic Education and TM does NOT conttradic a man desire to use clime higt and the accumaltion of riches as long as he incorprated inner silience with outer world...Just love this man.I aim so high in Life and I think I need to start from here!
