#84 – Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing | Heart of Jesus – Ep. 14
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” – Matthew 7:15
Today we delve into the essence of spiritual teachings, namely the importance of finding a true spiritual teacher. And how you practically can tell the real ones from the false ones.
We stress the significance of assessing the genuineness of spiritual teachers based on their actions and teachings. We discuss the role of a spiritual master as a connection to the Supreme Person, and underscore the necessity of surrendering to a living spiritual teacher in the pursuit of spiritual growth.
The bottom line is; if we don’t even try to find a spiritual teacher, we will be like a rudderless boat in the ocean of life. However, if we are not careful in this endeavour, we will not make it to a safe harbour.
Highlights:
- (1:29) If God has a representative on earth today, would it be necessary for me to become his student?
- (9:22) Guidance of a true spiritual master is essential to understand the truth
- (15:33) Beware of the wolves, the false prophets, who come in sheep’s clothing
- (20:07) Developing a spiritual interest makes you vulnerable to the wolves
- (28:30) “You shall know them by their fruit”
- (37:02) A spiritual seeker’s sincerity reveals the truth
- (42:05) Wealth and spirituality: the goal isn’t to enjoy this world, that’s not what’s going to make us happy
