Description
In this unprecedented masterwork of inspiration, Paramahansa Yogananda takes the reader on a profoundly enriching journey through the four Gospels. Verse by verse, he illumines the universal path to oneness with God taught by Jesus to his immediate disciples but obscured through centuries of misinterpretation: how to become like Christ, how to resurrect the Eternal Christ within one’s self. This landmark work transcends divisive sectarianism to reveal a unifying harmony underlying all true religions. A groundbreaking synthesis of East and West, it imparts the life-transforming realization that each of us can experience for ourselves the promised Second Coming — awakening of the all-fulfilling Divine Consciousness latent within our souls. Yogananda said, “In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth. He came two thousand years ago and, after imparting a universal path to God’s kingdom, was crucified and resurrected; his reappearance to the masses now is not necessary for the fulfillment of his teachings. What is necessary is for the cosmic wisdom and divine perception of Jesus to speak again through each one’s own experience and understanding of the infinite Christ Consciousness that was incarnate in Jesus. That will be his true Second Coming. ||| Este é o segundo volume de uma obra-prima sem precedentes escrita por Paramahansa Yogananda e publicada em 3 volumes. Com sábio entendimento, o autor revela em detalhe a fórmula imperecível de Jesus para a prática espiritual diária e o alcance da comunhão com Deus. Acompanhando os relatos e as parábolas contidos nos Evangelhos, Paramahansa Yogananda explica, versículo por versículo, a maneira milagrosa em que opera a fé, como se alcança a humildade crística e o amor divino, a alegria que provém do serviço desinteressado e da renúncia interior, e muitos outros temas.
